After an hour, Mimi finished reading and decided to bake something for Sheldon. So she quickly and quietly went up to her room and got some cooking stuff. Luckily, Sheldon was still asleep when she got back.
Mimi mixed the batter and put her finished batch of cupcakes into the oven. She just hoped Sheldon liked vanilla cupcakes. She also put a pot of Chamomile tea on the kettle and waited.
The smell of vanilla cupcakes woke Sheldon from his sleep. He sniffed the air. The smell felt like Mimi, warm and sweet and cozy. He went out to the kitchen and saw Mimi taking out a batch of freshly baked cupcakes from the oven.
"You're up!" Mimi said, noticing him. "Feeling any better?"
"A little." Sheldon said. He looked at the cupcakes. "What's that?"
"Oh, I baked some cupcakes for you." Mimi said. "Figured you might need a little something to cheer you up. Would you care for some? There's Chamomile tea on the kettle as well."
Sheldon nodded, and the two sat down on the kitchen island and had a little tea time. Sheldon called Leonard. Leonard answered. He could see Sheldon's smug face looking down at him.
"We're having tea." Sheldon said.
"But you never eat out of plan!" Leonard said. Sheldon glared at him through the webcam. "Mimi baked cupcakes for me." He said.
"Mimi?" Leonard asked. "She's still here?"
"Of course she is, she's not like you, you know." Sheldon turned the webcam to face Mimi, and she waved hi to Leonard.
"Hey Leonard." She said. "Is there anything I need to know while looking after Sheldon?"
Leonard shrugged. "I guess not, since you're already doing such a good job."
"Ok." Mimi said.
"Leonard, would you stop at the comic book store on the way home and see if there may be any new comic books I might enjoy?" Sheldon said. "Oh, and remember, tonight is Chinese food. You know the usual - steamed dumpling appetizer, General Tso's Chicken, beef with broccoli, shrimp with lobster sauce, and vegetable lo mein. Is that alright with you, Mimi?"
Mimi smiled at Sheldon. "Was that an invitation?"
"Considering the context and the way you've been so nice to me, yes." Sheldon said.
"Hey, thanks." Mimi said.
"Ok guys, I don't know why you called, but have a good time." Leonard said. He's clearly jealous of me, Sheldon thought and shut off the webcam.
Sheldon and Mimi finished their tea, and they curled up on the couch to watch some more Doctor Who. After a few hours, Leonard arrived home with Penny. Just as they heard the door open, Mimi jumped to the left side of the couch, and they sat frozen, eyes fixed at the screen.
