To: Amy Farrah Fowler

From: Sheldon Cooper

Amy, I feel I have several questions regarding this evening but first I must apologise.

Today I reacted badly to your impulsive kiss. Then I myself gave in to such impulses and did not do you the cutesy of a warning, as you had assured me you would do in the future

I am sorry Amy.

My first question is: Did I upset you?

You disappeared so quickly I hardly had time to register your going. This leads me to believe my behaviour upset you, and therefore once again I apologise.

My other question is: Why did you say 'hooo'?

The only other occasion I am aware of, that you made this vocalisation, it concerned Penny's ex.

Knowing you had feelings for him in the past has made me consider the fact you may still harbour feelings for him. I find this upsetting Amy I wont deny it.

I enjoyed the alcoholic milkshake greatly Amy and hope you have not written today off as a total disaster.

Sheldon

Having sent his email, and seeing that the time was late, Sheldon decided he would get ready for bed and worry about everything else tomorrow.

Amy had left Sheldon's in a hurry. She had considered going to see penny then remembered her friend was out again with Leonard. Sitting outside Sheldon's building in her car Amy realised she was shaking. Sheldon had kissed her not once but twice. That was so exciting. Why oh why had she said "hoo" Sheldon knew what that meant. He would know she was aroused by him and once the alcohol had warn off he would most certainly run for the hills.

Slowly starting her car and heading home Amy cursed her own libido.

Once in her apartment Amy realised she had left the new drink at Sheldon's apartment, along with the non alcoholic milkshake. Should she tell Sheldon to refrigerate it? No, now she was being silly, as if Sheldon would leave anything out once opened. She must be more tired than she thought!

The next day Penny knocked at the boys apartment and let let herself in. She knew Sheldon would be up even if Leonard wasn't. So she was surprised to find the place in darkness. Shrugging, Penny helped herself to their coffee and milk, then left them a note saying she would be in all day if Sheldon needed a lift, or of they just wanted to hang out.

Concerned Penny returned home and texted Amy

"Hey Ames, how was the big date last night?"

When Amy didn't reply immediately, Penny began to really worry. She knew Sheldon could be insensitive, perhaps he had done something stupid. He had been worked up last night when she had seen him.

Penny was not surprised when she heard Sheldon's knock knock knock, half an hour later.

"Come in Sheldon" she called.

Sheldon came in, shutting the door behind him, eyes down cast and shoulders slumped.

"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" Penny asked gently.

"I think I messed up Penny. I apologised but Amy hasn't replied, and I don't know what to do"

"Tell me what happened"

So Sheldon gave penny a run down of the date, from the new drink Amy had brought over, to the episode of star trek that made penny frown, to the kiss or kisses on Amy's nose, that made Penny's mouth drop open.

"Sheldon tell me again what Amy did when you kissed her nose."

"She said 'hooo', stood up and ran out the door"

Penny grinned.

"Oh Sheldon. You stud muffin you! Amy wasn't offended, she was turned on!"

Sheldon went white. "You must be mistaken Penny, I kissed her nose! Hardly a seduction!"

"I'm telling you Moonpie, your girl was 'hooing' because you turned her on. I would bet my life on it. The fact she hasn't answered either my text or your email makes me think the poor girl is embarrassed and doesn't know what to do now. Leave it with me Sheldon l'll talk to her for you."

Sheldon did not know if getting Penny involved was wise, but he did know he was more confused now than he had been before he asked Amy that first question in that first email.
