After tragedy strikes Sheldon gets a new roommate. Set in a different TBBT universe.

Wednesday February 26th 2003. Sheldon is exchanging birthday greetings with his twin sister Missy.

"Hello Missy, happy birthday to us."

"Hello Shelly, glad you didn't forget my birthday."

"I don't forget anything, how can I forget my twin sister's birthday?"

"That was a joke."

"Oh I see, an attempt at humour?"

"Whatever. How are things with you dear brother?"

"I need another roommate, the latest one tore up the 'Roommate Agreement' and then he ran away."

"Maybe you need to find yourself a girlfriend, someone who actually wants to be with you?"

"Another attempt at humour I see. How are things at home, how are my three favourite ladies surviving together?"

"Meemaw didn't want to move in with me and our mother, but it has worked out for the best. She was finding it hard in that house all by herself."

"How is Georgie doing?"

"He is still doing very well selling tyres, he and his business partner are going to open another store in Austin next month. Georgie and Ana are going to take us all out for dinner on Friday for a birthday celebration. How are you going to celebrate our birthday Shelly?"

"Pizza is coming in 15 minutes and then I am going to watch 'Star Trek'."

"You are still watching that."

"Of course, I fully expect you to pay up the 1 dollar bet in 8 years time."

"How is work, are you enjoying being a rocket scientist?"

"You take that back, I am a theoretical physicist."

"Whatever, happy birthday Shelly, keep in touch."

"Goodbye Missy, enjoy the birthday celebration on Friday."
