A/N: This is just a little series of disconnected snippets that have been running around in my head. They all occur sometime after Leonard has moved out and Sheldon and Amy have consummated their relationship. Sheldon said in S9 E1 "We make everyone feel awkward, that's our thing!" That got me thinking about how much more awkward "their thing" could become for everyone else if they approach their intimate relationship in the same straightforward manner they approach so much else. Hope you enjoy!
"Man, that never gets old," Sheldon sighed, turning off the TV."
"Nope," agreed Leonard, Howard and Raj.
"No, I can totally how watching the same space movie for the, what 312th time, never gets old," chimed in Amy.
"Yeah, and making your wives and girlfriend watch it again really never gets old," added Bernadette.
"Excuse me," lectured Sheldon, "I distinctly remember the 3 of you ladies saying it was our choice tonight. We chose. You should consider it an honor to watch one of the best movies ever made with 4 experts on every fact related to said film. Go ahead, ask us any question about any plot point or any of the characters, major or minor. From the books, radio plays, TV or movies. Go on."
Penny rolled her eyes pointedly looking away from Sheldon. "So Amy, what are you up to this week? "
"Well, actually, I need to run back over to my old lab at UCLA on Tuesday morning to review our last experiment results with the current team. They're doing some exciting work building on my last study. If it continues to go as well as it currently is, they'll end up publishing before the end of the year, and I'll be cited as a contributing author," Amy gushed happily.
"Wow, that sounds...great," Penny smiled. "Hey, if you're going to UCLA and back you'll pass right by Zangen. You should pop in for lunch. Oh but shoot, Tuesday? I think I'll be in doctor visits all day. But you could meet Bernadette for lunch!"
Amy considered the suggestion, but then shook her head slightly. "Oh, that's a nice idea, but I was already planning to go by and meet Bernadette for lunch Thursday before a symposium your company is giving on pharmaceutical support for addiction recovery. I wouldn't want to pull her away from work a second day."
"That's ok Amy, I'd love to see you." Bernadette announced from her seat next to Amy on the sofa. "You could totally come twice."
Her husband, seated on the floor near her feet, looked up to her conspiratorially. "Remember she's sleeping with Sheldon now, coming once seems unlikely, let alone twice" Howard snickered with a leer.
"You're right Howard, once or even twice would be ridiculous. You know Sheldon's cute little compulsions mean prefers to do things in threes," Amy replied, shooting a saucy wink toward Sheldon who was just pulling a bottle of water out of the fridge and returned her wink with a sly smile.
Bernadette smirked, biting her lip, and reached her hand down to lift and close her tiny husband's jaw, which had settled somewhere around his chest.
