Amy spent the morning with the girls. They went to Penny's panel, and Amy had to admit that the men there were very attractive. She was glad that she had gotten over her outbursts when seeing attractive men. Spending so much time with a sexy Sheldon had gotten rid of that habit. She couldn't have him know how attracted she was to him, and he would put it together after helping her with Zach if a "hoo" slipped out while they were having dinner together.
Other than the eye candy, it had been a little boring. Still, it was enough to keep the girls entertained. When they were done with that, Amy, Penny, and Bernadette decided to take a trip through the Expo hall of their own. Each other time they had been through, they were subject to the whims of their men. Penny wanted to do some shopping if she could find something she liked without Leonard peering over her shoulder disapprovingly.
Penny looped her arm through Amy's again and they browsed the booths. Many of them had comic books or other things the girls weren't particularly interested in, so they skipped past those. Penny pulled them to a booth with some superhero themed clothes for women. She found a bikini that was Green Lantern themed, and excitedly showed it to Amy and Bernadette.
"Remember when the guys made me dress up with them for that New Year's party? Leonard was the Green Lantern. Maybe I should get this and surprise him," Penny said excitedly. Amy and Bernadette agreed, so Penny bought it.
Just before they left, something else caught Amy's eye. It was a red t-shirt dress that held the emblem of The Flash. It was short sleeved and very unlike something Amy would wear. Still, she wanted to purchase it.
Amy jumped when Penny appeared behind her and broke her reverie. "He'd love it. If he thought you looked lovely in your Star Trek uniform, he'll love you in this," Penny said quietly. She knew exactly why Amy wanted to buy the dress.
Amy bought the dress. She didn't often dress to impress Sheldon. Like he said on the way there, he seemed to like the way she dressed normally. Still, Amy couldn't help herself. After they left the booth, they stopped at a few others before coming across the guys. They hadn't planned on meeting up, but Bernadette and Penny each ran up to hug and kiss their men. Amy walked over to Sheldon and slipped her hand in his. It was the most outward form of physical affection they had for the time being.
Amy was pleased that Sheldon didn't try to take back his hand, but squeezed hers in return. He was being really great about his normal no contact stance.
"We're going to head to the pool now. Are you ready to go, Amy?" Penny asked.
Amy had thought it would be a good idea to spend the afternoon at the pool, but with her hand in Sheldon's, she suddenly didn't want to leave his side. He had been so good to her all weekend, so it seemed like a terrible idea to leave him behind.
"I think I might stick with the guys after all, but could you drop my bags off at the hotel?" Amy asked.
"Sure, Sweetie. We'll see you guys for dinner," Penny said as she took Amy's things from her.
"Are you sure you want to stay?" Sheldon asked. Amy just nodded and squeezed his hand again. He thought this hand holding wasn't so bad. It kept Amy by his side.
The group waited in line for a signing. It was for a comic book writer for a zombie comic book Amy had never read, but Sheldon had made her watch several episodes of the TV show. Sheldon pulled a comic book from his bag to get it signed and chatted with Amy about various plot points. It had been a lot like waiting in line for a panel, but the like moved slowly instead of all at once.
The group did this two more times for other comic book writers before finding the girls for dinner. Penny and Bernadette looked a little red, and Amy was glad she didn't go with. Though, she figured that she would have actually worn sunscreen.
"We drank too much and accidentally fell asleep," Bernadette explained when they showed up.
"Do you want to eat here or out somewhere?" Leonard asked.
"Honestly, I would rather just get room service and have you cover my body in aloe," Penny told him.
"Me too. Well, have Howard do the aloe thing," Bernadette added.
Amy briefly regretted not going with the girls. She had a feeling that Sheldon would help her cover her body in aloe if she were also sunburned. He'd helped her bathe when she was sick and rubbed vaporub on her chest. That wouldn't have been so different. Then she remembered that there was another day of ComicCon, and she would rather not be in pain for it even if it would have meant a little extra contact with Sheldon.
They watched the couples leave. Sheldon turned to Raj and Stuart, but they were already walking away.
"I guess we're on our own for dinner. What do you want to do?" Sheldon asked.
Amy just shrugged. This was his game and she didn't really mind. There wasn't much good to eat at the convention center, but she could find something if he wanted to stay.
"Let's go do room service too," Sheldon finally decided.
Amy readily agreed, but was bemused that he would rather spend the time together alone. She wasn't about to turn him down. They went back to their room and Amy decided to change. She had collected her shopping bag from Penny and saw The Flash dress there, ready to try on. It seemed like a good idea to make sure it fit while she could still return it. Amy grabbed it and one of her normal outfits and went into the bathroom while Sheldon inspected the room service menu.
Putting on the dress, Amy admired her reflection. She thought that it would go best with leggings or tights, but she could see herself wearing this dress again. Then she jumped when Sheldon knocked on the door.
"Amy, what do you want to eat?" Sheldon asked though the door.
Amy opened the door, still wearing The Flash dress, and Sheldon dropped the menu when he saw her standing there in it. His eyes quickly traveled up and down her body. He quickly picked the menu up and handed it to Amy, and waited to see what she wanted for dinner. She looked up to tell him, only to see a slight blush on his cheeks. Amy was suddenly very glad that she bought the dress.
"I'll have macaroni and cheese and a salad," Amy told him. She closed the door to change into her normal clothes. First, she leaned against the closed door to catch her breath. Yes, the dress was a good idea. Now she needed to figure out best how to use it when they got home again.
