The Mindy Project – Mindy Goes Back to Work

This is my first Mindy Project fanfic! I've written for How I Met Your Mother before so if you're a fan of that show, please check it out when you get the chance. And yes, I only write in script-format. Tell me what you think and thanks in advance! Enjoy.

This story takes place in season four, after Mindy gave birth and she and Danny broke up, BUT there's no Jody and Collette as I really hate these characters.

(Mindy walks into the practice)

Mindy: Good morning, fellow coworkers.

Tamra: Heeey, Dr. L. Love what you posted on Instagram last night. #ThoseGuysAreSuperHot

Mindy: (smiles) Aww, thanks Tamra! They were, weren't they?

Danny: Woah, woah, woah. What guys? You're posting pictures of yourself with guys? See, this is exactly the kind of thing I was worried would happen after I moved out.

Mindy: What, me going out with super-hot guys, you getting super jealous and crawling back to me crying "please Mindy take me back?" and me, the now sophisticated, grieved hot woman looking at you and saying in a super strong voice "I'm sorry, Danny, but that ship—"

Morgan: (jumps in, interrupting) HAS SAILED! Bamn!

Mindy: Damn it, Morgan! That was the punchline! I wanted to say it! (punches and hits Morgan)

Morgan: Sorry, I'm so sorry. So, so sorry, Dr. L. (kisses her hand and her forehead)

Mindy: Ew, what're you doing? Get off me!

Danny: (gets closer to Mindy) No-no, I moved on from…(points at all of her body) All of this.

Mindy: (gasps) How dare you?!

Morgan: As a woman of color, you should be offended.

Danny: What I'm saying is, we have a kid together now. You can't go…parading with random hobos every night like you're in your late 20s again.

Mindy: Ok, first of all, I'm still in my mid-20s. Okay, everyone? And second of all, Danny, you and I broke up months ago. Leo is over one years old now, and it's not like I'm doing anything illegal—(ponders for a second) Well, we did do that one thing where you kinda have to—lift your leg up and-and you'd have to—

Danny: (interrupts, covers his ear) Ok, aahh, ah, I don't wanna know! I don't wanna know what kind of kinky stuff you're doing every night! I just don't want my son near you when you're doin' it.

Mindy: Ew, Danny, that's gross! The thought that you would even think that I would put my own son in that kind of situation…

Morgan: It's like you don't even know her at all, Dr. C.

Mindy: (to Morgan, pushing him away) Ok, that's like the twelfth time you've stolen my punchline. Just—leave, get outta here.

(Mindy is sitting in her office behind her desk eating Fruit Rollups when Jeremy enters)

Jeremy: Dr. Lahiri—

Mindy: (hides the rollups away in a drawer, takes one out of her mouth) What, no, I'm not doing anything! (sighs) Oh, Jeremy. It's you. Thought it was Danny. He still has me on a pregnancy diet, can you believe that? It's like living in a third world country.

Jeremy: I wanted to ask you something.

Mindy: Yes, I think your British accent is really annoying and yeah, I totally don't get what's up with all your weight inconsistencies. I mean, one minute you're totally skinny and then the next you got a beer belly the size of Morgan!

Jeremy: No, Mindy—

Mindy: I mean, at least be consistent like me: totally bangin' hot all the time.

Jeremy: I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to accompany me to a gala this evening.

Mindy: A gala? Ooh-lala, what's it for?

Jeremy: It's a charity event for the hospital. Trying to raise more money for the surgery departments.

Mindy: (smiles) Yeah I can go to a charity. Hmm, I wonder what expensive dress I'll wear.

Jeremy: Thank you so much. Just don't tell the others. The Chief of surgery is gonna be there and I'm worried they'll only embarrass us and the practice.

Mindy: Of course, Dr. Reed. (smiles) I'm…actually very flattered you chose me and not Danny.

Jeremy: Well, actually, Danny's busy tonight so—

Mindy: Okay well that is very rude. The thought I could embarrass you or the practice is beyond—

Morgan (opens the door very quickly): Embarrass you how, exactly?

Mindy: (screams, startled) God, Morgan! You scared the hell outta me! I could've been naked! Or worse, Jeremy could've been naked!

(Pause)

Morgan: What's goin' on here?

Jeremy: Nothing.

Mindy: (winces) Nothing. Why-why would you say something is going on?

Morgan: Because you're eating the paper that comes with the fruit rollups.

(Mindy notices she's eating paper out of the drawer)

Mindy: Oh! Oh God…

(Jeremy exits and Morgan stares at him oddly)

(Morgan approaches Beverly and Tamra at the nurses' station)

Morgan: You guys notice anything weird goin' on between Dr. L and Dr. Reed?

Tamra: I notice weird things happenin' all the time. Like when I was on my way over here this morning, I saw this rat, and it was humpin' on a squirrel.

Morgan: No, I mean, they've been acting really weird all morning and very secretive too. Usually, I walk in on Dr. Reed reading a magazine on the toilet. Today, no magazine!

Tamra: Ooh, what up with dat?

Beverly: Maybe they're doin' it.

Morgan: Beverly! How many times do we have to tell you not to say the first thing that's on your mind?!

Beverly: What can I say? Sex is always the first thing on my mind.

Tamra: You know, maybe Beverly's onto something here.

Morgan: She is! We all know she's been doing cocaine for years now.

Beverly: (to Tamra) Yeah why do you think I love working here so much, Dr. L?

Tamra: I've seen so many single moms who jump onto the first thing they see after a breakup. And let's think about this. What is the first thing Dr. L sees when she comes to the office?

Morgan: Dr. Reed.

Tamra: Uh-huh!

Morgan: Oh my god! I can't believe she would do that to Dr. C.

Tamra: Good for her! I've been always rooting for these two to get back together.

Morgan: Well, technically, they were never really together, Tamra.

Tamra: Oh then you obviously have not read my JereMindy fanfics. They're rated R for explicit scenes and obscene language.

Morgan: We have to get to the bottom of this.

Tamra: (smiles) Hey, that's a line from the story!

Morgan: Let's strip this whole thing wide open.

Tamra: Okay, now you're just messin' with me.

More coming soon if you like what you've read so far! Leave me a review please!
