A/N: Thank you so much for all your reviews, both good and bad. Like I said I can take it. Sorry if the love scene in the last chapter wasn't up to par. I am not very good at writing that sort of stuff. Anyway...on with the story. No M rating this time but there is implied stuff. That is all the warning you will get.

I don't own any of it.

The week in Philadelphia went almost as quickly as Mt. Rushmore. On Tuesday, they went to the Franklin Institute. Amy loved all of it. It wasn't all about science although walking through the heart was fun. Wednesday, they decided to have a lazy day and stayed at the hotel. They relaxed in their room and by the pool. Amy couldn't get Sheldon in the water but just getting him to sit by the pool was progress.

Thursday, they decided to check out the Mutter Museum. Amy was fascinated by all the medical abnormalities. Sheldon, however, almost lost his breakfast when he saw the deformed penis. They both were in awe of all the objects that people had apparently choked on. It was utterly amazing.

While they were at the museum, Sheldon received a phone call. He didn't recognize the number but answered it anyway because he had so many things he had planned. He excused himself from Amy and walked to the front of the museum.

"Hello"

"Hi, yes I am calling for a Sheldon Cooper." The woman on the other end answered.

"You have reached him. With whom am I speaking?"

"My name is Janine and I am calling from Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World."

"What can I do for you?"

"From our records, I see you have made a reservation for the Glass Slipper Table next Wednesday, June 11."

"Yes, plus a table for 10 nearby for the rest of my party."

"I see that as well, however, we have come across a problem. It seems we booked another couple for that table at the same time."

"How is that possible? When I called the woman told me the table hadn't been booked. I was overjoyed because I called at such a late date."

"Well that was the problem. She was correct, but it turned out our computer system had had some issues and the reservations somehow got erased. This morning they reappeared. It seems the couple that reserved that table did it 3 months ago. We will have to accept their reservations first. I apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to know if you could take the table on Friday June 13 instead."

"Well, as I had planned on proposing to my girlfriend on Wednesday and have booked a pavilion for Friday for the wedding that will not be possible, unless of course you have lost that reservation as well."

"No sir, I see that we have that reservation and it is still good. Would you like me to put your entire party at one table instead? That would not be a problem."

"I guess that would be acceptable. I will have to find an alternate plan for my proposal."

"So you were going to propose on Wednesday and marry her on Friday. Do you think she will be okay with this arrangement?"

"Well I hope so but it is a surprise."

"What's a surprise?" Amy had walked up behind him.

"Oh, um, listen, I have to go, you can go with what we just talked about. That will be fine." He quickly hung up the phone and turned to face Amy.

"Who were you talking to?" She asked him suspiciously.

"Um…." He wasn't sure how to get out of this one. She had clearly heard the last part of the conversation. He hoped she didn't hear the part about the proposal before that.

"Sheldon, you clearly said surprise. So what's the surprise?"

"Now if I told you, it would be ruined, now wouldn't it?"

"Come on please."

"No, now again, it would ruin the surprise."

"I have my ways you know." She said seductively.

"I will not fall prey to your wiles, woman."

"We'll see."

Sheldon just smiled at her. Inside he was relieved. She may try to persuade him a bit more later, but he felt he could handle it. The last time she tried seducing him for information she forgot to get the answers she sought. So he would win either way. His biggest problem was when he was going to propose now. He could use Universal Studios as a backdrop. He wasn't sure that was romantic enough though. Maybe he would find inspiration sooner. He had kept the ring with him to make sure Amy didn't find it accidently. He couldn't risk that.

Sheldon knew had to call his friends and let them know of the change. He was not sure how he could find time alone again for a bit. She was suspicious enough as it was. If he left and said he had to make a phone call, she would most likely follow him. Maybe he would be able to persuade her to go to the pool or have her pick up dinner somewhere later.

The left the museum about an hour later after going back inside so Amy could finish seeing the exhibit. It was still early when they got back to the hotel. Amy was tired. All she wanted to do was relax with a good book. The weather was beautiful and she decided to go and sit down by the pool to read.

"Do you want to come with me?" She asked him. She realized it was probably unlikely he would join her as she practically begged him the day before.

"No, I think I will stay here and watch a movie. I'm not up to sitting in the sun again. Make sure you put on sun block."

"Don't worry I will." She gave him a kiss and left for the pool.

Sheldon couldn't believe his luck. Amy had decided to go down to the pool on her own. He didn't have to trick her after all. He looked at his watch. It was 4:15 which meant it was 1:15 in Pasadena. He wasn't sure if calling Leonard was a good idea as he was at work. Penny was his only option. Unfortunately, her phone went right to voicemail. He had no choice, he called Leonard.

"Hey Sheldon, you've got good timing. We all just sat down to eat lunch."

"Good. I called for a reason. Put me on speaker. I need everyone's help in this. The plans I had for Wednesday have changed."

"What do you mean changed?" Howard asked. "Did Amy finally come to her senses and dump your ass?"

"Howard!" Raj yelled at him.

"No, it's nothing like that. Apparently the restaurant overbooked our table and the other couple reserved first. We will all be dining together. This means my surprise of you all coming will be ruined. I think she may notice a table of 12. I don't want her to figure out why you all came before I get the chance to propose."

"Hey buddy, I am sorry about that. Do you have a backup plan for a proposal?"

"I don't. I have carried the ring everywhere with me so she doesn't find it. I was thinking if the mood strikes I will ask her."

"That's not very romantic." Raj interjected.

"Yes well my romantic idea failed."

"What about at Universal Studios?" Howard suggested. "She likes Harry Potter too, right?"

"Yes, I thought about that, but I am still not sure."

"Have you guys gone to the zoo you told us about yet?" Raj asked him

"No we are going tomorrow."

"Well why not there? You guys have this thing about zoos. It seems like the perfect place to ask her."

"Wow Raj, that is brilliant. Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because romance is new to you."

"I suppose you are correct. Thank you for your help. That is really the only reason I called you guys. Leonard you are still set for getting the rings."

"Yes, Sheldon, we have been through this already. I won't forget."

"Good, and don't let Penny forget the tiara. She will need that for the wedding."

"I won't."

"Okay good. Now expect a call from us tomorrow night if all goes well."

"Go get her Sheldon." Howard said.

"I am not sure where I am to go and get her from but alright."

"Talk to you later, Sheldon." Leonard said.

"Goodbye." He said and he hung up. He felt much better now that he had a plan.

He decided to pull his computer out and watch Star Trek since Amy wasn't around. He settled in on the bed and relaxed. He must have fallen asleep because the next thing he knew he was being woken up with a kiss.

"Hey sleepy head, did you have a good nap?"

"I guess I was more tired than I thought."
"Apparently, I called you three times before having to kiss you to wake you

up."

"I could wake up like that all the time." He pulled her in for another kiss.

They spend the 15 minutes having an intense make out session.

"We should stop." Amy said out of breath. "We need to get something to eat."

"Do we have to?" He said as he kissed her neck.

"Yes, now stop that." He said swatting his hand away from her breast.

"Are you sure?" He was being persistent.

"Well, maybe for a little while longer." She gave into him.

Thirty minutes later, they were in the shower after satisfying each other's needs. They decided to stay in, order a pizza and watch TV.

"So the zoo opens at 10 tomorrow. Apparently we are allowed to bring in lunch instead of paying the exorbitant prices they charge in their restaurants. We could pack a picnic lunch instead. Oh and they have reciprocal ticket prices with our zoo. We get in for half price with our pass."

"That's great. Why don't we shoot for a 9:00 departure? That highway may be busy again."

"That sounds great. Well I am going to get ready for bed." He said to her

"Okay, I will go after you."

After they both got ready, they settled in for the night. Sheldon was beginning to get nervous about the next day. He hoped everything would go as planned.

There really is a deformed penis at the Mutter Museum, I have seen it.

Reviews are welcome. The next chapter is in the works. Proposal time! I know a lot of you are excited it about it and I hope I do it justice. Let me know what you think of my idea to move it up a bit.
