Leonard and Penny

"For some reason, the waitress and the physicist weren't very interested in having sex. Instead they were holding onto each other, relaxing until Penny realized something.

"Oh, God."

"What?"

"We're married. Look at us, it's Thanksgiving and we're snuggled up like a pair of hibernating squirrels instead of just going at it."

"That's not really a bad thing. I mean, how many times have we had, just the two of us, to engage in pre-coital cuddling? Y'know, without being interrupted."

"Never."

"Exactly. It's like a whole new level for us. Besides, we'll get there."

"I know." She kissed her boyfriend and nestled into him. "I love you."

"I loved you before I even knew your name, so I win. Hey, you know what would be romantic? And a little crazy?"

"What?" She moved closer to him. She'd learned long ago that 9 times out of 10, his romantic ideas were just that, so she wanted to know what idea he'd just cooked up.

"Going to the roof, looking up at the stars, and maybe..."

"I wouldn't call that idea crazy, but it sounds pretty cool. Have you still got those camping chairs?"

"Yeah. And I've still got my sleeved blanket!"

They weren't drunk, but couldn't stop giggling as they softly ran up the stairs to the roof. A couple of times one would start laughing outright, causing the other to "Shush!" which in turn only caused more laughter.

"Wow!" Penny gasped. Growing up in the rural areas, she'd seen the stars before. A couple of times in Pasadena she'd looked up and managed to see a handful of stars through the burning orange streetlights. Now that they were above the streetlights, she could see more. So much more. There were even constellations she'd never seen before.

"It's a good night." Leonard admitted to her. She turned to him.

"Leonard, this is beautiful. I'm surprised you guys aren't always up here."

"It's nothing you can't find on the inter-" He was interrupted by a firm, yet very pleasant kiss. As he entangled his hands in her long, soft golden locks, he had the feeling that they wouldn't be like hibernating squirrels anymore.

Sheldon and Amy

"Well, that was rather pleasant." Sheldon announced as he came back into the hotel room.

"It was certainly interesting."

"String theory always is." Sheldon told her, opening the mini fridge. "Beverage?"

"Have they any sodas?"

"Yes. In fact they have many sodas."

"Are there cherry flavoured ones?"

"Uh..Yes."

He tugged one out and handed it to her, before getting one for himself.

"What do you want to do now?"

"It's 10pm. We should be going to bed at 10:30pm, so I'll be following my usual schedule. You can do whatever you want."

His nonchalant response disappointed Amy. Sure, she hadn't expected him to declare his undying love to her, but it would have been nice is he'd wanted to play a game with her or something. He didn't notice her downcast eyes. He finished his beverage and placed it in the trash can. Before he went to the shower, he stopped and looked at her.

"Amy?"

"Yes?"

"I'm glad you're with me."

Amy felt all her disappointment leak out of her. Maybe he wasn't perfect. But he liked her. And that was more than good enough.

Howard and Bernadette

"That was a close one."

"Sorry, sweetie."

"I won't tell your family."

"Thank you, Howie."

"But if we ever have kids, they are going to hear about it."

"That's fair enough."

As they drew nearer the Rostenkowski residence, Bernadette glanced nervously at Howard's throat.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure you should be wearing that."

'That' was the little Star of David that every man and woman in Howard's family got at his or her bar or bat mitzvah. It was tradition of the Wolowitz family to wear it at certain holidays. Such as Thanksgiving. Bernadette hadn't minded when he put it on before leaving that evening, but now she was beginning to worry.

"I'm not taking this off, Bernie. One of my cousins refused to wear his once and he had a heart attack. He didn't die, but he's never forgotten to wear it since."

"I'm sure that was just a coincidence."

"Bernie, come on. You said they put up with me willingly, so they can put up with David's star willingly too."

"I know. It's just.. they're very.."

"If my mom can survive you wearing your cross, I'm pretty sure your family can survive me wearing this."

"You're right."

"I am?"

She smiled. "Yes. Besides, if anyone gives you trouble, I'll sort it."

"Thanks, honey."
