The first chapter in Michele's fan fiction story regarding the Big Bang characters went as follows:
The Mirror Image Iterations Chapter 1
Sheldon Cooper sat in front of his computer, reading an article entitled "Physics at the Air-Sea Interface" from the online webzine: Physical Oceanography Quarterly. Although his field of study in physics was concerned with string theory, he had recently become interested in physics as it related to the oceans. He was going to conduct his own research to discover, once and for all, if global warming were man-made, or simply unstoppable mother nature.
Dimly, as if it were the buzzing of a mosquito, he could hear a shrieking noise. Suddenly he blinked and looked up. Normally nothing could tear his attention away from a physics article or problem, but after three years of living across the hallway from Penny he had learned to leave a little bit of himself open to his surroundings. A hailing frequency, as it were. And shrieks were intruding upon it.
Sheldon jumped up, scurried out of the room and across the hall.
He knocked on the door, simultaneously calling "Penny." Before he could knock again, as was his custom, Penny jerked open the door.
Although tears were streaming down her face, her face was radiant. Before he could utter another word, she had clasped his face between both hands and kissed him on the mouth. Then she let go of his face and hugged him.
"Penny! Have you taken leave of your senses?" asked Sheldon.
She danced away from him. "Oh, Sheldon, Sheldon! I got the part! I got the part! I got the part!"
"You got the part? The part in your hair remains in exactly the same place….oh, you mean you received a part in a play?"
"No, Sheldon, not a play, a TV series. A series!" She raised her hands to grab his face again, but he skittered backwards.
"What kind of a TV series?" he said with stilted curiosity.
"It's going to be really cool! And it's really ironic. It's a situation comedy about four girl physicists. We're really smart, but socially awkward. You know – because we're smarter than every man we meet, and they're attracted to our beauty and scared at the same time."
Sheldon stared at her, his mouth opening and closing. "Penny….I….don't know what to say. Ironic isn't the word."
"I am so happy! Okay, go, go! I have to call my parents."
Penny shooed him out of her apartment and into the hallway. Sheldon stood in the hallway, frozen, feeling like a pillar of salt.
Leonard walked up the stairs at that moment. "Sheldon, what's the matter?"
"I've just been thinking about Lot and Lot's wife," Sheldon said. "Did you know that there's a school of thought that believes that God actually used an atom bomb to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? And that Lot's wife wasn't so much turned into a pillar of salt but a pillar of ash?"
"No, I'd never heard of that."
"Well, said Sheldon, as he followed Leonard into their apartment, "Let me tell you that that is much more plausible than the news I have to tell you about Penny."
