Sheldon Swifties XXXVIII: "Dying Day…"

Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved bits in my Buffyverse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.

Disclaimer: All is Chuck's…

"Do you suppose Amy and Leonard will ever forgive us for not encouraging their wanting to live with us?..."

"Oh…Sure…Someday…" sigh… "By our gravesites…After they get tired of spitting on our tombstones…"

"Plaques…Or at least I'm going to have a plaque…Though it will only be symbolic for my biochemical remains as I'll safely be ensconced in an android body…"

"Fine…After they get tired of spitting on our plaques…"

"Please…I don't think there's cause to call Amy Farrah Fowler unsanitary…"

"Right, sorry…" downcast look… "Sheldon?..."

"Yes?..."

"Did we make a terrible mistake?..."

"Well…Given you say 'we'…And your propensity for disastrous life choices…I'd say there's a more than fifty percent chance…"

"Oh…" stare… "More than fifty percent?..."

"Statistics don't lie, Penny…Just the people misusing them…"

"Oh…"

"Oh…"

"Oh?...Sheldon, are you actually expressing grief over a bad decision?..."

"Am I?...I thought I was echoing you sympathetically…"

"Oh…Really?..."

"What's that supposed to mean?..."

"You aren't going to admit you feel badly over what you did?..."

"No…And I should think after all our years of close association you'd be aware of that…"

"Sheldon…It's nice of you not to be mad…"

"Not at all…" shrug…

"I know you wanted to patch things up with Amy…"

"I did…" sigh… "Which is why I'm not mad…I pushed you to go in my wild passionate desire to save my relationship…"

"Really?..." smile… "Sheldon, that's sweet…But I am sorry…I guess this time I really should have checked that "check engine" light…"

"Well…Social convention requires I note…'These things happen'…" sigh…

"Thanks…You're still sure Amy can get your brain remains into that android body…?"

"Well, she'll have to put my consciousness onto a computer for now…But yes…Besides, she has to, I put it in the relationship agreement…And if that should fail, she's required to abandon neurobiology for physics until she develops time travel…But…I think she would want to in any case…"

"Oh, Sheldon, that's so sweet…" sniffle… "I kinda wish Leonard and I had had a relationship agreement…"

"I'm sure Leonard will ask Amy to upload you, once she's succeeded with me…"

"Won't my brain rot first?..."

"Oh, no…Current studies suggest human memories, even consciousness, in brain may last much longer than the few pre-oxygen starvation minutes once believed true…And Leonard's a very determined person when it comes to you…Obsessed to the point of being irritating I'd say…"

"Yeah…" sigh… "I sure miss him already…"
