Hello, this is my first TBBT fic. I recently got really into the show and started reading fan fictions about it, however I noticed pretty much all of them have not been updated in months. So, for my own amusement as well as people who may look for These stories that are updated I bring you this. I hope you enjoy and please remember to comment and heart to let me know what you think!

"Oh no." Sheldon Cooper stated as he came to a halt outside his apartment building.
"What?" Asked Leonard, Sheldon's short, co-worker as well as room mate and friend asked.
Sheldon scoffed. "Do you not see!" He exclaimed pointing at a moving truck parked in front of the building.
Leonard rolled his eyes. "Sheldon, don't start."
Sheldon crossed his arms and faced Leonard.
"Don't start? I have already started! There is a new person moving into the building and once again, you act as if it is nothing."
"Because it is nothing Sheldon. People move in and out of Apartments all the time. You need to get over it."
Sheldon gaped at Leonard as he walked away toward the building. Sheldon glared and hesitantly followed.

Julia Marintino stacked boxes against the wall of her new apartment and sighed. She hated moving, it was such a pain to take everything you own and bringing from on place to another. She walked back out to the hall way and made her way to the stairs to get more boxes, but was stopped by two men in the stairway.
"Oh excuse me." She said with a small smile.
"No problem, hey are you the new tenant right?" The shorter of the two men asked while adjusting his glasses. Julia smiled.
"How'd you guess?"
"Leonard will you save the chit chat for another time, I would like to set up for our Halo night." He then forced his way passed Leonard and Julia to head up to his and Leonard's apartment.
"Sorry about him." Leonard says apologetically. Julia waved it off.
"It's fine, I have to get the rest of my crap up here anyway. Do you know when the Elevator is going to be fixed?"
Leonard rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, probably around..never. Its been broken for sometime now, I don't think it will ever be running again."
Julia frowned.
"Oh, well that's pretty lame. You would think people would file complaints."
Leonard shrugged.
"I'm sure some have, but as you can see, it didn't do much." Julia rolled her eyes.
"Well, beggars can't be choosers I suppose. It was nice to meet you..."
"Leonard. Leonard Hofstadter, 4A." Julia smiled softly.
"Julia. Julia Marintino, 3B..or shall I say NewB" Julia chuckled at her sad attempt of a joke, which Leonard took a moment to understand.
"Oh, I see, NewB..noobie...Haha." Julia shrugged.
"They can't all be winners. Bye Leonard." Julia waved as she skipped down the steps, her dark blonde hair bouncing behind her.
"Bye." Leonard said, although he knew she wouldn't hear it.

"There you are!" Sheldon glared as Leonard walked into their apartment. Leonard ignored him and sat his stuff on one of the kitchen counter chairs.
"Well while you were downstairs flirting with that woman downstairs, I had to set everything up myself!"
Leonard frowned at his roommate.
"One, I was not flirting with her, two that woman's name is Julia, and three, you set this up by yourself up by yourself even when I am here because I apparently can't do it correctly."
Sheldon stared at Leonard for a moment.
"True, you can't." Sheldon agreed ignoring Leonard's previous statements.

Later that evening Leonard, Sheldon, Howard, Raj, and Penny sat in the living room of apartment 4A playing Halo.
"So did you guys get a look at the new girl who moved in?" Penny asked suddenly.
"Uh, yeah." Leonard said looking away from the screen for a moment to Penny. A mistake however, being that he was killed in that moment.
"Why do you ask?"
Penny shrugged.
"I don't know, we haven't had someone new in the building for sometime now so I figured you would have jumped to the opportunity to introduce yourself. You have a tendency to feel the need to when new women move in."
Leonard gaped at her causing him to die again.
"It has nothing to do with her being a woman Penny, I'm just friendly."
"Was she hot?" Howard asked.
Leonard shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess."
"You guess?" Penny asked loudly. "She is hot. Tall, blonde, green eyes, fit."
"You talked to her?" Leonard asked. Penny shook her head no.
"I just saw her outside when I came home."
"Can we change the subject to something of better interest than the woman downstairs. Or better yet! Focus on the game!" Sheldon exclaimed, annoyed the the new woman in the building was all anyone wanted to talk about this evening.
"Fine, jeez Sheldon." Penny said crossing her arms. "She was hot though."
Sheldon groaned.

Two days later Sheldon, Leonard, Penny, Howard, Raj, Bernadette and Amy were making their way up the stairs to Sheldon a Leonard's apartment to watch a movie.
"Holly shit! Fuuuuck you!" A voice shouted from 3B.
"What the heck is that?" Howard asked. The group looked at each other confused.
"Nooo! GO AWAY!"
"It sounds like Julie." Leonard said concerned. He then made his way over to the door and knocked.
"Julie? The new girl?" Amy asked.
"Julie?! Are you alright?" Leonard shouted though the door.
"Leonard what are you doing!? We shouldn't meddle in her affairs! What if its some large ex-boyfriend? He might suspect your heroism for affection and murder you! The go after all of us! I'm not going to die for this stranger and your need to help!" Sheldon argued trying to make his way up the stairs.
Amy grabbed his arm.
"Sheldon we can't just leave if she's in trouble."
"We most certainly can!"
"Julie!?" Leonard continued to knock.
Another swear was heard before the door was pulled open. Julie stood there with surprised expression.
"Oh hey guys...and gals, whats up?"
"Whats up? We just heard you screaming bloody murder!" Penny stated. Julie covered her mouth.
"Oh crap, I'm so sorry."
"Whats going on?" Leonard asked.
"I was playing a game, I had my headphones on an the lights were pretty dim. Its a horror game and I got a little into it. I'm so sorry guys really. I haven't had tome to put up the sound proof stuff yet."
"What game were you playing?" Bernadette asked curious.
"Its called Among the sleep. You play a toddler and it seems your going through memories are going through these memories to find your mom or something. I'm not sure how to describe it, but its kinda freaky. Um hey, you guys can come in if you want, so your not standing in the hall all awkward."
"What do you say guys?" Leonard asked the group.
"I thought we were going to watch a movie?" Sheldon asked.
"We can watch the movie later Sheldon." Leonard responded as everyone made their way into Julies apartment.
Sheldon groaned not really wanting to go in but followed.
Inside was pretty basic. The apartment was not much different from their own, but with obvious decor and furniture differences. One Dark blue couch faced a black 50 inch TV. One the left side of the couch was a matching love seat, on the right a black leather lazy-boy chair. A glass coffee table sat with a few magazines and coasters on it. The kitchen which was straight ahead from the door looked clean and well organized. The cabinets were see through ans Sheldon could see the plates, bowels, and cups in each of them. Off to the right of the room was a hall which Sheldon assumed led to the bathroom as well as any bedrooms in the place. The walls, like most of the apartments, were white. Some of which were covered with photos of all sorts. Some where of people, others of places and things. There were still some boxes that sat open but still had items in them, yet to be placed in a more permanent area, but Sheldon supposed that was normal being is that she only moved in two days ago.
"What is this a one bed one bath? Penny asked looking around with the others.
"No," Julia replied. "Two bedroom. However I am using the second one as an office, which as I said, I need to sound proof."
"Why do you have an office for video games? Why not just play them in the living room?" Howard asked.
"Well, for one, I play mostly computer games. I do play on consoles but only once in a while. Secondly, I get really into the games I play and as you may have noticed, really loud, its better if I play in a more isolated area. You guys wanna see?" Julia offered.
They all shrugged and said sure following Julia down the narrow hall to her office.
"Oh wow." Leonard said with his eyebrows raised.
The room itself was rather simple, but inside Julia had her desk set up with three monitors, a microphone and an camera. There were also a few lights set up around it as well. The closet doors were open revealing a shelving unit holding a few Console games as well as the consoles themselves, such as an Xbox360 and Playstation 3 and 4.
"You use all this to play games?" Amy asked with an eyebrow raised. Julia nodded.
"I have to its my job. Im a game commentator on Youtube."
"I know what youtube is but what do you do exactly?" Penny asked confused.
"I record myself playing games and commentate on them. I then post them to youtube. Because I am a youtube partner, every month youtube sends me a check for posting videos. The amount on the check however depends on the views I got for that month."
"So you get paid for playing video games?" Bernadette asked, though it was more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah, pretty much. However I cant really depend on that alone so I also do some side photography stuff."
Sheldon looked around only so impressed. Sure, it was interesting that she played video games for a living, he could give her that. However surprising that was considering that not only was Julia a woman, but a fairly attractive woman, it still wasn't something Sheldon felt the need to be amazed about.
"You seem unimpressed." Julia said as if reading his mind, though he knew that was impossible.
"Don't mind him, he isn't easily impressed by anyone." Leonard said.
"Oh that reminds me. You haven't been introduced to anyone. Thats Sheldon, "
"Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper." Sheldon interupted.
"Uh, yeah," Leonard said moving on.
"And this is Penny, Howard, Raj, Bernadette and Amy."
Julia waved. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Julia. Obviously."
"So, what are you a doctor of?" Julia asked looking at Sheldon.
"I am a Theoretical Physicist. I am currently working on proving string Theory. However I wouldn't expect you to understand anything like that."
Julia blinked and Leonard glared at him.
"Sheldon-" Leonard began but Julia held up her hand to stop him.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Why not what?" Sheldon replied.
"Why would you not expect me to understand anything like that?"
Sheldon looked at her as if it was an obvious answer.
"Well clearly your IQ can't be more than average if you play video games for a living. While I myself enjoy such things, the task itself gives no real purpose into the world."
Julia licked her lips. "So you are saying because I choose to play video games for a living, I have a low IQ? You know how silly that is right?"
Sheldon shook his head. "I don't think it's silly at all. What person will an above average IQ would waste it on something so meaningless? No person that's who."
The group looked between Sheldon and Julia, not sure if it would be wise to step in.
Julia sighed.
"Sheldon, let me level with you here. I don't know my IQ, I don't. Personally I couldn't care any less about it. Is it higher than yours? Probably not. But assuming that just because of my chosen occupation is stupid. You don't know me or what I am capable of so don't come into my own home and try to down me because Iwill punch you in the face."
Everyone turned to Sheldon, awaiting his response.
"Okay, I think we are getting off on the wrong foot here." Leonard stepped in.
Sheldon scoffed.
"Sheldon." Leonard said sternly. Sheldon looked away.
"I should have known that someone of her up bringing would try and resort to violence to try and prove herself."
Julia's eyes widened in rage.
"Sheldon! Shut up!" Penny yelled.
Julia balled her fist and made a step toward Sheldon. Leonard quickly moved in front of him.
"Alright, I think its time for us to go."
The group nodded and dragged Sheldon out the room before Julia could futher exploit her anger.
After they left Julia calmed down. Everyone seemed like really nice people, except for Sheldon.
"What an ass." Julia breathed, going back to recording more of her game.
