"Leonard!" Sheldon yelled from his bedroom. Uh oh. His voice gave off his stuffy nose, and Leonard knew what that meant.
"Leonard! I'm sick!"
"I have to go to work!" Leonard yelled back.
"But it's Sunday!" Sheldon said back.
"Wait here, I'll call Penny."
Leonard went to Penny, their neighbor, and knocked on the door.
Penny appeared with sleep in her eyes.
"Ugh, what is your problem!" Penny said.
"Sheldon's sick and I need you to take care of him." Leonard said.
"NO." Penny said.
"Please?" Leonard begged.
Just then, the two saw Mimi walking down the stairs.
"Good morning Leonard, Penny." She said.
"Ask her!" Penny hissed.
"Um, Mimi, where are you going?" Leonard asked carefully.
"I just got a notice I had a letter." Mimi said.
"Are you busy today?" Penny asked.
"No, not at all." Mimi said cheerfully.
"Then… can you look after Sheldon for a day?" Leonard asked.
"I think that can be managed. Why, I didn't think you had work on Sunday." Mimi said.
"Er…" Leonard said.
"Ok, Sheldon is a real big pain in the ass when he's sick, and Leonard doesn't want to look after him." Penny said. "Now that you have your babysitter now, Leonard, I'm going back to bed."
Penny went inside and shut the door.
"Seriously?" Mimi asked.
Leonard looked at her guiltily.
"Shame on you." Mimi said. "Well, I hope you enjoy your day at 'work'."
Leonard waved goodbye and went down the stairs and Mimi went into the apartment.
"Leonard!" Sheldon croaked. "Is that you?"
"No Sheldon, it's me, Mimi." Mimi said. She went into Sheldon's bedroom and sat on the side of the bed where Sheldon was lying in.
"Ohh Sheldon, are you alright?" She asked.
"No." Sheldon sniffed. "I think I got the acute viral nasopharyngitis. It's so humiliating."
Mimi smiled down at Sheldon. "It's ok, Sheldon! Coronavirus and Rhinovirus finds a way into your immune system even with your strict hygiene acts."
Just then, Sheldon coughed.
"Ooh, poor you!" Mimi worried. "Did you have anything to eat?"
"No. Everybody hates me when I'm sick." Sheldon said.
"Don't say that! I don't hate you. Should I make you some soup?" Mimi asked.
"Yes please." Sheldon said.
"Ok. You stay here and get some rest. I'll fix your soup." Mimi said, and went out to the kitchen.
