Thank you the reviews, follows and favourites

Continuing on from the same day as the last chapter

There is a little bit of smut

Sheldon and Amy returned to the apartment after lunch and were discussing arrangements for the trip whilst drinking tea at the kitchen bench

'Amy do you know how much time off we will need for our trip?

'Yes, we will need to take 5 days from the Wednesday to Tuesday and part of the trip includes two nights in a luxury lodge'

'Have you sorted flights out yet?

'Yes, I have the details here'

Just as Amy was about to show Sheldon the flight details, his skype started to ring

'Oh its Will Wheaton, I wont be a moment Amy'

'Hi Will, how are you?

'Hi Sheldon, I'm great this is just to say if you and Amy are free Wednesday evening I am available'

'Yes that's fine, come round anytime'

'Ok see you at 7pm, Will signed off and Amy continued with what she was doing

'Ok we will be leaving the week after next on Wednesday morning very early, we are on a 6am flight to Anchorage which lands at 1155am'

Amy then opened up the website with all the travel details and pictures of the lodge they would be staying at

'You know Sheldon its not just trains, we will be travelling through the Denali National Park which has grizzly bears, grey wolves and foxes and the lodge has a hot tub, that's something I'd love to get you in'

'Amy that looks wonderful, thank you for organising it'

'Your welcome Sheldon' said Amy smiling at Sheldon

They sat looking at each other for a moment before Sheldon picked Amy up off the stool at the kitchen bench and carried her to the sofa

'Sheldon! What are you doing put me down'

'Stop screaming I'm not going to hurt you' and with that Sheldon laid Amy down on the sofa and lay on top of her as they started kissing and grinding against each other

'You know Sheldon I think we would be more comfortable in the bedroom doing this'

'Yes I know but that could lead to something very intimate and I haven't planned properly yet for coitus'

'We don't have to have coitus, we can do other stuff'

'Other stuff? Said Sheldon clearly puzzled

'Yes' come with me and Amy took his hand and led him to the bedroom

Amy's plans went out the window when Sheldon resumed his position on top of her but while he was kissing her he lightly brushed her breasts causing Amy to shiver in anticipation and pleasure

'Oh Sheldon please do that again' and she took his hands and placed it on her breasts while he kneaded them and flicked her nipples

Amy was quivering with pleasure underneath him and she desperately wanted to touch his very tented erection but settled for moving her hips in time with his

'You know if we were completely naked you could do more' said Amy to Sheldon

'Yes but with what we are doing now it feels safer with clothes on!

Amy lifted up Sheldon's shirt and started caressing his stomach before running her fingers up to his nipples and drawing circles around them causing him to react the same way Amy did and he shuddered in pleasure

'Sheldon let me try something' he nodded and she lifted his shirt and finding his nipple she lightly grazed it with her tongue

'Amy that feels so good' Sheldon had his eyes closed but his face was relaxed and Amy could see he was telling the truth

'Amy Farrah Fowler, I love you'

'I love you to Sheldon Lee Cooper'

They continued to kiss and occasionally changing positions, they knew they were getting closer to the day they would have coitus but for now they knew when to stop and how far to go with each other

Sheldon reluctantly stopped kissing Amy and they both got up

'Amy that was wonderful but we need to stop before we go any further, I know I want more with you but I can wait'

'Sheldon that's ok, we have waited so long for this to happen and a few more weeks isn't going to make a difference other than with all the practice we have been having, I'm sure that we will have an explosive time' Amy smiled at Sheldon and hugged him as they left the bedroom

There was an ominous rumbling noise coming from Sheldon's stomach

'Come on lets decide what to do for dinner' said Amy laughing 'what would you like? Home cooked or takeaway'

'Whichever you prefer' said Sheldon

'Ok there is some chicken in the fridge and some veg and potatoes I can do that?

'Yes that sounds good to me as Sheldon reached into the bread bin to make himself some toast as his stomach continued to rumble

After they had finished dinner, Amy was working on her laptop and Sheldon had just gone down to the laundry room when there was a knock on the door, Amy went to answer

'Hi Penny come in, Sheldon is not here, he's doing his laundry

'No its ok, I knew he wouldn't be here, I just wanted to confirm that breakfast is still on for tomorrow, we hadn't talked about it'

'Yes of course it is, the plans haven't changed'

'Ok see you tomorrow then, bye Amy'

Amy shut the door puzzled at Penny, she looked very thoughtful, maybe she was finally sorting herself out

Sunday morning

The girls were at their usual café when Penny brought up something she wanted to discuss

'I wanted to ask your views on a plan I was thinking of and taking your advice about doing something for myself, I am going to take a week off work to go to Hollywood and try my luck there, if my agent is too lazy to try and get me some work then I will just have to do it myself'

'That's a good idea, have you told your agent yet?

'Yes I went to see her yesterday afternoon and told her I no longer needed her'

'Was she ok with that? Asked Amy

'Don't know don't care! All I know is I need to get acting work, I know it will be hard though and even if I can't get anything at least I know I will have tried everything I can and if I fail then I could always go back to doing my Penny Blossom business'

'What's that now? Asked Amy

'Oh before I met you guys I was making Penny Blossoms for fun with no profit, you have seen them I wear them in my hair sometimes, then Sheldon made me realise I could do it as a business and the guys got roped into help me but it didn't last very long when Leonard set up the website with a one day rush order and we had to make 1000 blossoms for a gay, lesbian & transgender society alliance fete that was being planned, we succeeded but then when we finished we found that they had made another 1000 order request and the boys were exhausted and didn't want to help'

'You could do it part time or just change the delivery time so you are not under pressure to deliver so quickly' said Bernadette

'Part time is good I guess and it will give me something to focus on, plus some of the girls at work have been asking me for some and for their friends'

'When are you planning on going away? Asked Bernadette

'As soon as possible, I know Sheldon is getting impatient with me and I think a little space would be beneficial right now, though its likely I will go on Saturday, I have borrowed money from my dad to pay for a hotel, I obviously have to pay him back but I also wondered whether one of you would like to come with me for support?

'Sorry bestie, I am already taking time off to go with Sheldon on our trip and I have to have a series of meetings at some point about arranging for funding for the addiction studies as well as continuing with my regular neurobiology work so I'm going to be pretty busy'

'Ok I can come with you, I'm not sure I can take a week but a few days will help you wont it? Said Bernadette

'Yes thank you' said Penny gratefully 'Have you any plans for the week ahead'

'Well Will Wheaton is coming on Wednesday to film fun with flags and as I said before I may have some meetings to go to and spending time with Sheldon' Amy had a dreamy look on her face at the mention of Sheldon

'You two are very cute together' said Bernadette

'Oh I know' smiled Amy

'Well we have to go visit my parents one day this week, its time for our monthly visit'

'I think I might make a start on the Penny blossoms website, if Howard is around could you ask him to change some of the detail about it'

'Yes sure, though why don't you text him and ask? He'd be happy to help

'Ok I will do that'

Later the same day at Sheldon's apartment

'Sheldon have you planned what flags you are going to show on Wednesday yet?

'Yes but I think we will do a short episode just for fun and then perhaps in a few weeks we can do longer, I wonder if I can get in anymore special guests'

'Will probably knows a lot of people'

'Your right, I will ask him'

Sheldon had decided that Sunday was clean the apartment day and Amy had been given the job of cleaning and polishing the kitchen and the big window in the living room and Sheldon was disinfecting the bathroom and cleaning the living room, though as they were both fairly clean it didn't take very long so once they were finished they were relaxing on the sofa watching TV

'Look at us Sheldon, so domesticated, we may as well being living together' laughed Amy

'That wouldn't be a bad idea for the future' Sheldon replied taking Amy's hand a kissing it and then pulling her into his arms and kissing her on the lips

'You think about that sort of thing then?

'Yes Amy you know me I am always planning ahead'

'Oh I know and I especially look forward to receiving your planning for coitus!'

'We will both benefit greatly from that' said Sheldon

'Well if it's as good as when we kiss then I wont disagree with that' said Amy as she got up and sat in Sheldon's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck and continued to kiss him.

Wednesday came round quickly and Sheldon had planned a very short fun with flags session and he had set everything up ready but Amy had not yet arrived as she was running late thanks to some of the rabbits in the addiction study escaping their cages and racing round the lab.

Amy and her colleagues managed to round them up and put them back but separated the ones that escaped and made a note to reduce the cocaine doses they were being given.

Back at Sheldon's apartment he was pacing slightly as Will was late having agreed on a time of 7pm and Sheldon hated tardiness

Just then the door opened and Amy and Will both arrived together

'Finally your both here' Sheldon said little frustrated

'What's the matter' asked Amy

'Nothing it's all good now' taking Amy and hugging her hello and fist bumping Will

'Will would you like a drink before you start?

'Coffee would be good, milk two sugars'

'Sheldon I will make that for him, you can finish setting up'

10 minutes later everybody was ready and Amy gave the go ahead

'Hello, this is Dr Sheldon Cooper and this is Sheldon Cooper presents Fun with Flags' Sheldon then turned slightly and raised his arm to the whiteboard behind him

'Today is a very special episode, we have had lots of requests for our next guest since he last appeared and I'm very happy to announce that my friend Will Wheaton is here'

Will walked towards the sofa

'Hi Sheldon its good to be here again, nice to see I am so popular!'

'Thank you for coming Will, what flags have you decided to show us today'

'Well firstly I wanted to show the California state flag and the reason for the bear that appears'

15 minutes later the pod cast ended and Sheldon declared it triumphant

'Will thank you for appearing again, would you like something to eat?

'No its ok I ate before I came here'

'Very well, say Will do you think any of your actor friends would like to appear on this show? I can film a little piece asking the viewers who would like they see'

'Well Brent Spiner is very jealous that I appeared'

'I'm not having him, he broke my mint condition collection box!

'Well what can I say, I will ask around for you Sheldon, I have to go now, it's been fun though, goodnight Sheldon and you too Amy'

Amy & Sheldon both bid him good night and Sheldon did his little piece to the camera requesting who the viewers would like to see next, then they packed everything away

'Amy have you eaten? I have some chicken and noodles left from when the boys were here yesterday'

'Ok thank you that would be nice, running around after the rabbits really builds an appetite you know!

'I can imagine' said Sheldon

'Amy now that you are the head of addiction studies are you still taking part in the experiments?

'Yes it something I enjoy doing and as long as it does not interfere with the other work I'm doing it will be fine, I know the other people working there and I can trust them if I need to disappear for a while'

'Ok where would you like to go for date night tomorrow?

'Sheldon anywhere with you is fine with me

'Lets go to Old Town, I have not been there for a while and we can find a nice restaurant'

'Ok tomorrow I am scheduled to leave work at normal time, I can pick you up from work if you like? I will take a change of clothes and change at work

'Yes ok, Amy would you like to go to the beach on Saturday? Not just you and me but we can ask the others as well, make a day of it

'Alright that sounds good to me but I don't think Penny will be coming she's planning on going to Hollywood for a week to look for acting work and she mentioned she might go Saturday'

'Finally she is doing something about it then, you know Amy she is really testing my patience with the moping around she's doing and expecting me to just be ok with all that happened just like that'

'Yes she mentioned space and time away from you would be beneficial'

'That's the one thing we can agree on!

Thanks for reading

Hope that was ok, I know not a lot happened but I'm working on getting Penny sorted out

Also thank you again to INWHATUNIVERSE for the advice and help

Chapter 9 will be here in a couple of days
