On the outside, this plan seems logical.
But when Dr. Sheldon Cooper is in the equation, there are countless variables to consider.

What if the romance dies?
Leonard comes to the rescue with the perfectStar Trekanalogy.
He convinces Sheldon to use these new living arrangements as a scientific experiment.
Boldly go where no Sheldon has gone before!
Amy is on board.
Its the perfect opportunity to collect data on their compatibility.
Sheldon finally agrees, thanks to LeonardsStar Treksexy talk, but he has conditions.
He believes the environment must be neutral.
Thats because his father is a gynecologist.
Also, he cheated and looked in the folder.
More importantly, why is Raj going to the OBGYN with Howard and Bernadette?
And how does he know she has a perfect cervix?
Inquiring minds want to know.
(Sidenote: Is the Pippi Longstocking look a thing now?
What was up with Pennys overalls and loose pig tails?)
Across the hall, Amy asks the same of Leonard.
The advice is golden.
Lets commit these words of wisdom to memory:
Penny:Compromising is key.
Bring her a cup of coffee in bed and respect each others personal space.
Leonard:Never leave a belt on the floor at night.
They look like snakes.
Keep M&Ms in your pocket in case you have to wait in a long line.
She submits that all forms of coitus are off the table.
This news is a big relief to Sheldon.

Once Sheldon finally reaches Pennys apartment, there are other factors to decide.
Which side of the bed should he sleep on?
Will Amy always cough up phlegm when brushing her teeth?
Should he be concerned about the memories in Pennys memory foam?
And what about cuddling?
Does that fall in the no coitus clause they previously agreed upon?
Instead of getting busy on Sheldons spot, they strip down to their underwear and bust a move.
Attempting the worm was totally worth it.
The next morning, Amy complains to Leonard and Penny that she didnt get a wink of sleep.
Sheldon, on the other hand, slept like a baby since Amy had the entire floor to herself.
Who quits after collecting only 12 hours of data?
Both spout off scientific digs using terms like confounding variables and bonafides while Penny interjects, DAMN.
Ah, young love.
Theoretical Laughter
Raj:Im happy with your OBGYN.
Amy:Sharing a bed is unchartered territory.
How are you feeling?
Sheldon:Excited, concerned, scared.
All the same emotions I feel waiting in line at Space Mountain.
Leonard:Enjoy your mission to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Sheldon:Its Pennys bedroom.
Plenty of men have gone before.
