AN: I have decided to come back from the dead. To all of my old readers, thank you for waiting for me! This is just a little preview of chapter 10, so be on the look out for an update ;3

"Must I wear this blindfold the entire way?"

I turn to Sheldon for a couple seconds before turning my attention back on the road, "I already told you Sheldon, if you're not blindfolded then you'll figure out where I'm taking you and that'll ruin the surprise."

The corners of my mouth curl when Sheldon lets out a huff of frustration and begins mumbling under his breath. No doubt cursing the moment he agreed to the whole thing.

Earlier in the day (before getting in the car)...

"How do you expect to drive whilst wearing a blindfold?!"

Suppressing a giggle I shake my head and explain to my physicist that he was the lucky one that was going to don the green bandanna that I held in my hand. He gives me a look that suggests he believed I had gone off the deep end, "I'm not quite sure I follow."

I walk behind Sheldon and ever so gently I blindfold him then whisper in his ear, "In order for where I'm taking you to be a surprise I need you to wear this for me. Please?"

Silence then a flat, "Very well," to which I squeal in delight and give him a quick hug from behind.

Back in the car...

"Don't worry," I assure him about half an hour later, "We're almost there. Why don't I put on some music?"

Out of the corner of my eye I see him cross his arms in response.

Still not talking to me eh? I smirk to myself then in the sweetest voice I can manage I ask, "Sheldon? There's a CD in the glove compartment, would you be a dear and take it out and put it in for me?"

He doesn't respond just sinks even more into his seat.

"Ok then. If you won't do it then I will and I don't think it'll be very wise to take my hands off the wheel~..."

Without turning to look at him I hear Sheldon fumbling about to find the glove compartment with his obscured vision, then the slight whirl of the CD loading. The car's speakers let out a soft static, like the soft crumpling of paper, before loud boops and bops tear through the silence. Some woman's high pitched voice begins to "ooo" along with the fast beats of the computerized music.

"What is that?!" Sheldon half-yells above the woman's happy song of finally having found true love.

Swallowing yet another giggle, I ask, "Are you going to quit ignoring me?"

"What? Yes! Yes, just let me turn off this-this foul noise you call music!"

"Ok, you may turn it off."

"Oh thank Leonard Nimoy!"

"For such a serious man you sure can be dramatic Sheldon,"

Ignoring my comment he instead asks, "Are we anywhere near our destination?"

"We are more than just near. We're here!"

"Yay..." Sheldon mumbles sarcastically but remains silent as I park the care then get out to help him out of his seat. I wrap my arm around his right and slowly lead him to the entrance.

"May I remove the blindfold now?" he asks once I stop him from going further.

"You may," I say and watch as his mouth slowly opens in a perfect "O" of surprise once the green cloth is removed from his head.

"H-h-how?" he sputters.

I wiggle my eyebrows at him "I know a guy," then pull him inside the massive building.

To be continued...
