Chapter 4
5 nights later the gang headed to the bowling alley for a bowling match against Wil Wheaton and his team.
" Hey Sheldon, I'm really looking forward to wiping the floor with you, again.", Wil Wheaton said with a snarky smile on his face.
" I wouldn't count on that Wheaton considering the fact that you cheated last time leading us to get publicly shamed in Stuart's comic book store.", Sheldon said narrowing his eyes at him.
" Oh please I did not cheat." , Wil Wheaton said.
" Oh yes you did. You chased Penny away from the game by bringing up her's and Leonard's relationship issues. That sir is cheating.", Sheldon protested back.
" Well then let's make this more interesting this time. Winner of this match takes this pretty lady home.", Wil Wheaton said bumping his arm against Leo's shoulder. The others gasped including Leo.
" Excuse me?! I don't think so!", Leo exclaimed with a bit of anger in her voice.
" I disagree with that. What's your name?", Wil Wheaton asked rubbing his arm against her again.
" It's Dr. Leo Fordyce and again no, ew! Stop touching me Wil!", Leo said with her voice starting to get angrier as she pushed his arm away.
" Oh come on I know you like that.", Wil Wheaton said as he continued his advances toward her.
" No I don't! Please stop touching me!", Leo angrily said as she continued to push him away.
" Playing hard to get, huh?", Wil Wheaton said as a smirk spread across his face.
" That's enough Wil!", Leonard angrily said.
" Yes I agree with that as well! Leave her alone!", Sheldon angrily said. Wil Wheaton ignored them and continued his advances toward Leo which included grabbing her shirt but the second he did she shoved him away screaming, " GET AWAY FROM ME!" before she ran screaming at the top of her lungs with Wil chasing after her.
" Leo!", Penny, Bernadette, and Amy screamed.
" For god sakes!", Leonard screamed.
" Sheldon do something!", Howard screamed.
" WHEATOOOOOON!", Sheldon shouted as he bolted after Wil Wheaton.
" Call the police! This man is sexually harassing me!", Leo screamed at the manager before running out of the building and down the street screaming at the top of her lungs.
" Leo come back here!", Wil Wheaton screamed as he bolted out the door after her.
" You touch her and you're dead Wheaton! Keep running Leo!", Sheldon shouted as he followed in tow after Wil. The manager of the bowling alley called the Pasadena Police reporting the domestic disturbance. As Sheldon was chasing after Wil Wheaton shouting at him, his heart rate began to increase dramatically as he continued to hear Leo's terrified scream for help. Police car sirens began to sound in the distance as the chase continued. Sheldon's heart was beating so fast that he felt like he was going to have a heart attack in the middle of the street before the police could get to Wil. He didn't want to risk losing the girl he loved even though he had a girlfriend. The chase ended in the parking lot of a liquor store where Leo was seen smacking the crap of Wil Wheaton screaming her head off as she tried to get away from him. Sheldon ran up behind him grabbing him in a chokehold before slamming him to the ground pressing his foot into his stomach before shouting in his face. By then the rest of the gang and the police pulled up in the parking lot. Police officers got out of their cars pointing their guns at them shouting, " Freeze! Pasadena Police! Put your hands in the air!" Sheldon took his foot off of Wil's stomach and the three of them put their hands above their heads. Once all three of them were sitting on the curb with their hands handcuffed behind them the police officers began asking questions.
" What's your name ma'am?", one officer asked.
" Dr. Leo Fordyce.", Leo said breathing heavily.
" Ok and Dr. Fordyce can you tell me what happened tonight?", the officer asked.
" Yes! This man right here, Wil Wheaton, made some sexual advances toward me durning a bowling match which were very unwanted as I told him several times to stop but he kept forcing himself on me and it escalated to the point where he chased me out of the bowling alley so my friend started chasing after him shouting at him but Wil caught up to me in the parking lot here so I started smacking him screaming in his face telling him to leave me alone until my friend grabbed him in a chokehold and slammed him to the ground!", Leo stated as she motioned her head toward Wil Wheaton.
" Ok and you are?", the officer asked.
" Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper.", Sheldon said.
" Ok so let me see if I got this story straight. Wil Wheaton made sexual advances toward you but you told him to stop several times but he kept doing it so Sheldon chased him, grabbed in a chokehold and slammed him to the ground? Is that correct?", the officer asked Leo.
" Yes that's correct officer.", Leo said as she shifted position making the handcuffs scrape against the concrete.
" Thank you for the information Dr. Fordyce. You and Dr. Cooper are free to go.", the officer said.
" Thank you officer.", Leo said as her and Sheldon stood up to be released from their handcuffs bounding their wrists together behind their backs. As they rubbed their sore wrists the officers placed Wil in one the squad cars before going to explain the situation to the others.
" Are you alright Leo?", Sheldon asked.
" Yeah I'm fine Sheldon. Thank you for grabbing that Star Trek nazi in a chokehold and slamming him to the ground.", Leo said giving him a soft smile.
" Yes, my pleasure.", Sheldon said returning the smile.
" Are you guys ok?", Leonard asked as he approached them.
" Yes we're fine Leonard.", Sheldon said. As they all stood around talking about the situation Sheldon's attention suddenly turned to Amy who was standing there staring at him. Thinking about all the events that happened leading up to this Sheldon finally understood his feelings and he knew what he had to do. He had to tell his girlfriend the whole truth.
" Sheldon?", Amy asked concentrating on her boyfriend's face.
" Amy.", Sheldon said.
" Come with me to my apartment. We need to talk.", Amy said. Sheldon agreed and followed her to her car. Once they got to her apartment Sheldon found himself sitting next to Amy on the couch.
" Alright now that we're alone, what do you want to talk about?", Sheldon asked.
" Sheldon, I know what's been going on.", Amy said.
" You do?", Sheldon asked.
" Yes. Based on all the evidence I've collected about your behavior over these several weeks, it all points to one thing. You're in love with Leo.", Amy said.
" Oh that's preposterous!", Sheldon exclaimed.
" Sheldon tell me the truth, are you in love with her?", Amy asked never looking away.
" Yes.", Sheldon admitted with a sigh. Amy just looked at him taking in the confirmed information. Part of her felt hurt but on the other hand the other side of her felt happy. Fortunately, the happy side won.
" Then go be with her.", Amy said with a soft smile.
" Really? You're not upset?", Sheldon asked in confusion. Amy shook her head and said, " Go to her Sheldon. Don't let her go."
" Alright. So, what does this mean for us?", Sheldon asked with a sigh.
" Terminating our relationship and remaining friends.", Amy said.
" Yes.", Sheldon said. After they signed a termination sheet they shared one last kiss.
" That's it. We're officially broken up.", Amy said. Sheldon nodded his head agreement.
" Shall we tell the others what has taken place?", Sheldon asked.
" Indeed.", Amy said as they headed back to the others. They explained everything that's happened to everyone and Penny stormed out of her apartment shouting down the stairs, " DR. LEO FORDYCE, GET THE HELL UP HERE NOW YOU LITTLE HOMEWREAKER!" Leo slowly walked up the stairs and saw Penny standing there, arms crossed with an angry expression on her face.
" What is it Penny?", Leo asked.
" Come here!", Penny shouted as she dragged Leo by the arm into 4B.
" Woah, woah, woah! Penny what is your problem?! Why are you mad at me?! What did I do?!", Leo exclaimed completely confused about what was going on.
" Why don't you answer that question yourself Leo?! Amy told us everything! I can't believe you! You think that just because your fiancé is dead that you can screw over someone else's relationship?!", Penny shouted.
" Um... Penny?", Sheldon said.
" Not now Sheldon! I mean seriously, how do you sleep at night knowing that what you've done was complete betrayal?! You don't do that to your friends!", Penny shouted.
" Um... Penny?!", Sheldon said again.
" Sheldon zip it! I'm not done scolding Leo!", Penny shouted.
" Penny!", Sheldon shouted in her face.
" What?!", Penny shouted back at Sheldon.
" None of this is Leo's fault. It's mine.", Sheldon said lowering his voice.
" You?!", Penny exclaimed.
" Yes. I'm the one who screwed everything up when I heard Leo defending me against Leslie.", Sheldon said.
" You... you heard what I said?", Leo asked.
" Yes, my Vulcan hearing picked it up.", Sheldon said.
" I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. I don't deserve to be here. Goodbye.", Leo said as she turned away toward the door but before she could get her hand on the knob to turn it Amy whispered something in Penny's ear so Penny sighed and said, " Leo wait, don't go. I didn't know that's what you were trying to do."
" Yeah well you hate me now so I guess there's no reason for me to be here is there?", Leo said as she turned the doorknob opening the door but Sheldon pressed it shut with his hand preventing her from walking out.
" Sheldon what are you doing?!", Leo shrieked.
" Not letting the love of my life get away and walk out of my life is what I'm doing.", Sheldon said with a serious expression on his face.
" What?!", Leo shockingly asked.
" Leo, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?", Sheldon asked. Leo stood there completely shocked by what Sheldon said. She thought for a minute before she sighed and said, " How's this for an answer?" She slipped her engagement ring off her finger, took off her fiancé's bullet urn, hooked the ring around the chain before clasping it back together and setting on a table. Leo then looked back at Sheldon, smiled and said, " Despite your wackiness, I love you too Sheldon. Yes." Sheldon gave her a soft smile and Penny exclaimed, " What the hell are you waiting for Leo?! Just kiss Dr. Whack-a-doodle already before you make me go all Junior Rodeo on your ass!" Leo let out a giddy laugh before she pulled Sheldon in for a kiss. As she did so, I Got A Pocketful Of Sunshine by Lucia Sousa began to play in the background. Sheldon's heart raced as he held her in his arms. He was happy to finally be with the girl he loves. Everyone smiled at this and Bernadette began to tear up.
" Bernie? Are you crying?", Howard asked his wife.
" I'm just so happy!", Bernadette happily cried.
" It's just beautiful dude!", Raj said after taking a placebo pill, getting emotional as well. After Sheldon and Leo signed a Relationship Agreement they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. As they continued to kiss each other a faint silhouette of a human apparition wearing a Navy seal uniform stood in the hallway of Penny's apartment grinning from ear to ear. It was Sgt. Brady Brackman.
' That's it baby. Don't let him go.', Brady's spirit said before fading away.
