Epilogue

The Doctor decided to keep Rose and Bill with him for awhile until they could find a place to stay. Before dropping Jackie off in the other universe, he dropped Sheldon and his friends off at Sheldon and Leonard's apartment in Pasadena. He helped them carry Sheldon into his bedroom, got him undressed and dressed in his PJs and told everyone to tell him it was a weird dream if he mentioned anything. After wishing them luck, the Doctor waved goodbye and got back into his TARDIS, leaving them behind in a slightly bewildered state.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

(Two days later…)

It was dumpling night. Raj and Howard were over at Sheldon and Leonard's apartment for their usual dinner and a movie. All of them were sitting in front of the TV eating their dumplings and watching the new Star Trek movie when Sheldon suddenly put his bowl down.

"I'm sorry but I can't stay silent any longer," Sheldon said to them.

"I didn't think you could stay silent, period," Leonard said.

"Has something happened to me lately?" Sheldon said, ignoring him.

"Why whatever do you mean?" Howard said.

"I mean, I feel weird. Like I had something weird and life changing happen to me that got taken away in the blink of an eye. Do any of you feel like that?"

His friends shook their heads emphatically.

"Maybe you're just overworked," Leonard said.

"Or maybe you got your god powers taken from you," Raj muttered softly.

"What was that?" Sheldon said to Raj while Howard elbowed Raj.

"Nothing. I was praying to Ganesha for the removal of barriers in my life. Hail, Lord Ganesha," Raj said, looking skyward.

Sheldon stared at him for a moment while he wondered if he was telling the truth or not.

"Look, Leonard Nemoy's scene is on!" Leonard said, pointing to the TV.

To his relief, Sheldon's focus went back to the movie. Leonard, Sheldon and Raj glanced at one another and snickered softly before they each took another bite of their dumplings.

THE END.
