Mimi was folding her laundry when she saw Penny and Sheldon coming down the stairs.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey, girl." Penny said.
"Hello Mimi." Sheldon said.
Sheldon put his laundry in the washing machine and watched Mimi fold her laundry.
"I've never seen anyone fold laundry so mathematically precisely without the help of a utensil before." Sheldon admired.
"Well, I guess it just runs in me!" Mimi laughed.
Penny looked at them. Huh, it seemed as if Sheldon was developing feelings for this new girl.
"Hey, Mimi, um, is Brandon living with you?" Penny asked.
"No, he just came over yesterday to help me move in." Mimi said. "Sweet of him."
Sheldon's face hardened. Sweet? Now, that was nothing to be jealous about. Sweet was for babies and food that release dopamine when consumed, not alpha males. Still, moving her stuff was proving he was one…
"Yeah, sweet." Penny said. She paused. "Are you two going out?"
"What? No, he's just a friend." Mimi said. Sheldon sighed in relief. Mimi folded her last blouse.
"Ok guys, gotta go now. I'll see you around." Mimi blew a kiss and disappeared up the stairs.
Mimi went to her room and gave Brandon a call. "Hey Brandon. Wanna come over tonight? Movies and popcorn?"
"Sure. I'll be there at 5:30."
Mimi was excited for her meeting with Brandon. She wanted to thank him for helping her move in. She couldn't have done it alone. But that afternoon, Brandon called Mimi and told her that he couldn't make it because he had to work late. "It's ok, Brandon. We can do it another time."
However, Brandon was not at work – he was downstairs with Penny.
