"Sheldon!" Mimi and Leonard shouted. Mimi ran to where Sheldon disappeared.
She found her sitting on the front gates of the Playhouse. She saw that he was sobbing uncontrollably, and sat down next to him.
"Sheldon, dear, what's the matter?" she asked.
"Do not leave me, Mimi!" Sheldon cried, throwing his arms around her and holding her tight.
"What do you mean?" Mimi asked.
"Penny told me that if you sang tonight, you'll get recognized and invited to shows around the world and will have to leave me!" Sheldon said.
"Oh, Sheldon!" Mimi exclaimed. "I would never leave my career as a mathematician behind! And even if I had to leave, I'd take you with me."
"Really?" Sheldon looked up at Mimi from crying on her lap.
"Why would I lie about something like that?" Mimi said, sweetly.
"I love you, Mimi." Sheldon sobbed. "Don't ever leave me."
"Don't worry." Mimi said.
After that, the two headed home (since all their friends had already left) to toast Mimi's show.
"To Mimi: Mathematician, Doctor, singer, and the only one who really gets Sheldon." Leonard said. They had food and talked, and had a good time. Afterwards, when Sheldon was going on a midnight stroll with Mimi, Penny caught up with them and said, "Mimi, a minute?"
Mimi went with Penny for a private talk.
"Mimi, I'm sorry for telling Sheldon that." Penny said.
"Oh, it's ok." Mimi said.
"I guess I was a little jealous of you." Penny said. "I mean, you're smart, you're nice to everyone, you can sing – and you got that baby face fit to play Meg!" she laughed. "I apologize."
"That's ok." Mimi said. "I mean, when I first moved in here, I was a little jealous of you, too."
"Really?" Penny said.
"Yeah." Mimi said. "Thought getting drunk with Brandon wasn't very nice, you were this cool girl with great friends. You seemed happy, and satisfied with your life. I – I have traumatic pasts." Mimi smiled.
Traumatic pasts? Sheldon though. Well, that was unexpected. Wonder what it could be.
Mimi waved goodbye to Penny and went outside with Sheldon. They were crossing a road when they saw someone get hit by a car. Mimi seemed to recognize him, and ran towards him with Sheldon. She inspected the face and whispered, "No."
