"Amy? Amy?" Sheldon cried out quietly as he gripped the wall next to the broken elevator desperately trying not to stumble over his own feet.

"I'm here Sheldon" Amy replied just as quietly. She was bent over leaning against the same wall with her head slightly between her knees.

"Are you alright sweetheart?" he asked rubbing her back once he felt his feet stabilize beneath him.

"Yes, I'm okay" she said standing up straight holding onto his shoulder. "Did we really do it Sheldon?" she gasped her wide eyes looking up at his.

"It would appear so" Sheldon answered just as wide-eyed.

The two of them took in a deep breath and looked around the foyer between Apartment 4A and 4B on 2311 North Los Robles Avenue trying to contain their shock. The apartment elevator that had been fixed for almost three years now had an out of order sign displayed on it with bright yellow caution tape strewn across the closed doors.

Sheldon turned and smiled at his beautiful wife of four years and walked over to the door of Apartment 4A. In his hand, he held a small listening device which he lifted to the door as Amy came to stand next to him. Soft sounds emanated from the device as the couple leaned in towards the door tying to hear.

"I think we are close" he whispered as he retrieved a small remote control from his suit pocket. The couple was dressed in shimmering reflective white spandex suits.

"Are you sure Sheldon? Absolutely sure?" Amy asked in a terrified whisper.

"Amy, we have been over this a million times. It is the only way" he replied softly.

Amy's mouth formed a tight line, but she did not speak. She simply nodded in agreement.

"This is it" he whispered suddenly. "Ready?" he asked.

Amy nodded again and leaned in closer as the sounds changed from muffled breathing and rustling to someone talking.

"Can you believe it's been five years since our first date" a familiar woman's voice drifted through the door amplified by the listening device.

"I know" echoed a man's voice. "Do you think…"

Outside of the door, Sheldon quickly pressed a button on the small remote. Suddenly, the apartment door and wall of the foyer began to quiver. The couple reached towards the knob forcing the door to open. Everything in the apartment inside was shimmering including the man and woman sitting on the couch facing each other. The woman's arms were on the man's shoulders while his hands were firmly planted on her waist and thigh. The couple appeared frozen in place.

Sheldon and Amy struggled to enter the apartment, their breathing labored, as the forces of gravity seemed to increase and the air temperature began to feel colder. Sheldon gritted his teeth and moved towards the couch while Amy made her way to a desk in the room both grunting from the exertion of their movements.

Sheldon stood behind the man on the couch and using all of his energy lifted the man's hands from the woman. He hooked his arms around the man and lowered him to ground directly in front of the couch, so he was on one knee looking up at the woman, his hands extended in front of him. Sheldon lowered the woman's arms and moved her body to face the man.

At the same time Amy had opened the top right-hand drawer of a desk in the room retrieving a small jewelry box from inside. Struggling to close the drawer she opened the box and turned toward the couch. She gasped for air as the room began to blur out of focus. Somehow she made her way to the man kneeling in front of the couch and placed the opened box in his outstretched hand.

With great effort, Sheldon reached for Amy and pulled her out of the apartment closing the door behind them. When they were safely behind the closed door, he pressed the remote again. The walls stopped quivering. The couple bent over panting as quietly as they could to catch their breath while they began to warm up. They listened to the device again.

They heard a gasp emanate through the door followed by a woman's scream, "YES!".

"WHAT?" they heard from the man just as loudly.

"Yes, I will marry you!" the woman exclaimed joyfully.

"I did not ask you" the man said.

"Oh!" came a rushed response. "I…I just thought…I mean you are on one knee and the ring…" the woman's voice trailed off.

"I do not remember retrieving the ring" the man said in a confused voice. "Perhaps our necking like a couple of hooligans under the school bleachers resulted in a lack of oxygen to my brain causing a temporary moment of …"

"What are you talking about?" the woman angrily interrupted him.

"If I did ask you, you would say yes?" he asked hesitantly the lack of confidence evident in his voice.

"Well, there is only one way to find out" she replied in a sing-song voice.

The man audibly gulped but apparently found the courage he needed because in the next breath they heard him ask confidently "Amy, will you marry me?"

"Yes Sheldon, I will" she replied.

Her scream echoed throughout the apartment.

"Oooh, put it on me. Put it on me. Put it on me" she demanded with exuberance. "Oh, I have to call Penny and Bernadette! I can't believe it! My four year plan is right on track. There is so much to do! We'll have a long engagement and time to plan and the biggest most beautiful wedding of our social group!" she gushed.

"Well, do not plan on getting married in a church that is for sure. No matter what kind of fuss my mother makes" he insisted.

"Okay Sheldon" Amy agreed happily.

"And you are correct. There is a lot to do. I need to update the Relationship Agreement. Or possibly draft a new Engagement Agreement" he said with a serious tone.

"Sheldon" Amy said.

"And we will need to select our wedding party. Oh, that one will be tricky" he scoffed.

"Sheldon" Amy said again.

"And we need to pick a date" he continued ignoring her. "Let's see...it needs to be on the weekend, not close to anyone's birthday, or the weekend of Comic Con of course..."

"SHELDON!" Amy yelled.

"What?" he asked.

"Don't you think we should, you know, seal the deal as it were with a kiss?" she inquired.

"Oh, I don't know. A hearty handshake seems more traditional when sealing deals" he countered.

"Sheldon!" she said frustrated.

"Oh, alright" he reluctantly agreed. "It is date night".

"I love you Sheldon" she said sweetly.

"I love you too Amy" he said.

And then the couple kissed, blissfully unaware their private moment had been overheard by another couple just outside their door.
