(In Leonard's car, 5:20 p.m, Leonard is dropping them off at the airport, Sheldon is in the front while Angela is in the back)

"Sooo...how's life?" Leonard awkwardly asks. Leonard was driving Angela and Sheldon to the airport after a brief arguement whether they were late or if they were early. So, they were indeed very early.

"Be specific." Said Angela.

"Oh...um...how's life at home?" Leonard stammered.

"Quiet, beautiful, everything of mine is there."

"That's...good. Does President Seibert know you're going to Texas?"

"He's aware. As long as I have Dr. Cooper with me, he'll allow me to visit my...home." Angela said.

"Did Sheldon tell you that he has family in Texas too?"

Angela looked at Sheldon, "No. He did not."

Sheldon turned around to face Angela, "Well, I do." He said. "I was born and raised."

"I as well." Angela said.

That's something we can relate, Angela thought.

(In the airport, it's 6:20 p.m, Angela and Sheldon are waiting to get boarded)

"Sheldon," Angela said.

"Yes?"

"May I tell you something about what I feel about planes?" Angela asked.

"If you wish to. I wouldn't mind."

"I don't like when there is turbulence. It frightens me." Angela says.

"Well, Angela, if it makes you feel comfortable, I also don't like turbulence."

Angela felt confident that she wasn't the only one. At least it wasn't a fear of the dark kind of thing.

"Now boarding group 2." The intercom had announced.

The two physicists walked/hopped in line with their boarding passes and their suitcases.

"Please turn off any electronic devices or put them on airplane mode. We are now ready for departure." Said the young flight attendant.

Sheldon sat uncomfortably in his seat, since he was a very slender man, and he was trying to get everything settled. Angela, on the other hand, was looking outside of her window and was waiting patiently to see the clouds from above.

This was her second time flying, she liked it. But, in some way, she only enjoyed the flights because she could see the clouds. Angela looked at Sheldon who was shifting in his seat.

"Do you need to use the restroom?" Angela asked him.

Sheldon stopped and looked at her, "Are you crazy? The airplanes' restrooms are infested with bacteria. Why would I want to do that?"

Angela shrugged, "Well, if I were crazy, I wouldn't be fussing in my seat for no reason." And with that, she kept looking outside.

Sheldon glared at her, "I'd like to have you know, that I am not crazy. My mother had me tested."

Angela tensed, then calmed.

The plane had finally started flying, and Angela was awed. The clouds were pink, white, and light purple. Beautiful colors that Angela couldn't comprehend.

Sheldon noticed how quiet and calm Angela looked, and it was funny to him. How she always kept worrying and being busy all the time, you can barely find her calm.
