The Return of The Physicist

by devilbk

Sheldon returns to Pasadena after a summer away. He's ready to make some dramatic changes in his life and at least one person won't be happy about those changes. While not a Shenny story per se, this is certainly not a "Happily Shamy After" fantasy.

Sheldon went back over to his apartment. A few minutes later there was another knock at Penny's door."

"Hi, Ames. What's up?"

"Sheldon has likely informed you what is up, bestie. I need to enlist your assistance."

"What for?"

"Sheldon, for some reason, listens to you. I will need you to help me convince Sheldon and his sister that Apartment 4A is an inappropriate residence for her and her infant and that they would be happier elsewhere."

"I'm sorry, Amy, but I promised Sheldon that I wouldn't do that. Besides, I think that Sheldon is doing a the right thing."

"The right thing! The right thing would be consummating our relationship not ending it. I've invested years of my time and heart in Sheldon. I have a plan for our happiness."

"Sorry, Amy, but apparently Sheldon made his own plans over the summer."

"Penny, you are my bestie and I demand you choose to support me over Sheldon."

"Nope." Penny replied, making sure to pop the p. "Sheldon has been my friend for a long time, longer than I've known you. I think that what he's doing for his sister and nephew is important and means a lot to him and I'm going to do whatever I can to help him with that. If you prefer to sabotage it then maybe you need to think about your relationship with Sheldon. I've supported you for a long time, Amy, but I think that right now maybe you're just being selfish."

"Of course I'm being selfish. I've put up with Sheldon's silliness for a very long time. I deserve the relationship with Sheldon that I want. I deserve to live with him. I deserve his sweet loving. Not some little, leaky, screaming baby. And that baby will probably not even be close to as brilliant as I am."

"Amy, do what think you need to do but please understand this, while I prefer not to be in the middle of you and Sheldon on something, on this I will come down on Sheldon's side every time."

"Penny, I will require a temporary residence. Sheldon has made it clear that he will not return to the apartment as long as I am there. I am to theoretically make arrangements to have my property temporarily placed in storage."

"Well, I guess you can stay here for a couple of days. We'll need to move the couch over here because ours isn't big enough and you are for damn sure not sharing our bed with us. You bite."

"That will be acceptable."
