"Thank you for the ride home, Angela." Sheldon said, taking his seatbelt off.

"You're welcome, Sheldon. It was a pleasure to have you over." Angela says, giving Sheldon a warm smile.

Sheldon opened the door on the passenger side, and was about to leave the vehicle, until he stopped and looked at Angela. "May I invite you inside my apartment?"

Angela looked at her watch, then at Sheldon, and sighed. "Oh, well, Sheldon...I am very busy with," Angela stopped and looked around and saw her notebook sticking out of her backpack in the backseat. "Research for our theory."

Sheldon shrugged. "As you wish. I will see you tomorrow, Dr. Richards."

"I will see you tomorrow." Angela said. Sheldon got out of Angela's Jeep, and shut the passenger door. He waved and walked away towards the apartment complex.

Angela looked at him one last time before driving back to her apartment. While driving back, she couldn't help but think about Sheldon, how he always makes her feel comfortable when she's around him, how he always makes her feel free to talk about comic books, shows, and movies, and how he just had this secret to getting her to smile.

Angela stopped at a red light, and palmed her forehead, "Stupid, stupid, stupid. You're acting like an immature child." She muttered.

A green light was shown, and she drove forward. Angela pushed her thoughts away, and stayed focused on the street signs.

You are a Theoretical Physicist, you have no time to lolligag with boys. You will not be an idiot, and you will work hard to get what you want, Angela thought.

Now, Angela has came back down to earth. She always thought that to herself, just incase any of these pesky thoughts of boys and love had invaded her train of intelligence. She won't accept it, it's just risky.

Very risky.

The whole gang awaited in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, they were expecting Sheldon to walk in through the door any time now, so they can begin Anything Can Happen Thursday. But, the boys still had to apologize to Sheldon about that whole thing at the University, and the girls were aware of what happened. So the girls had told them if they didn't apologize, no one was going to have a wild night tonight.

Once Sheldon unlocked the door to the apartment, Leonard, Howard, and Raj jumped up from the couch/floor to greet him with a hug, which indeed made Sheldon very uncomfortable. "What is the meaning of this?!" Sheldon yelped, trying to escape from the group hug he was receiving.

Howard was the first to let go of him, "This whole thing about this hug, is supposed to get me a special moment with Bernadette tonight. So, please, forgive me!" Howard said, actually wanting this 'special moment' to happen.

Sheldon crinkled his nose, "This is no way to earn forgiveness."

Leonard and Raj soon let go of him, "Oh well. We tried." Raj said, walking back to Emily.

"Ah, ah, ah. Apologize." Penny told Leonard before he could sit next to her.

Leonard groaned and looked at Sheldon, "We're sorry, Sheldon. We didn't mean it."

Sheldon rolled his eyes and took off his windbreaker, "Apology accepted..."

"Hm, OK. So, let's begin Anything Can Happen Thursday!" Raj says.

"How about I order some pizza and we can watch some movies?" Howard said, pulling out his phone.

"Sounds good. Is that OK with you, Sheldon?" Leonard asks.
