T-Bone x Mimi is the het ship between T-Bone Lewis and Mimi from the Clifford the Big Red Dog fandom.
Canon[]
In "T-Bone, Dog About Town", T-Bone and Mimi meet for the first time when she arrives on Birdwell Island while T-Bone and Clifford are waiting for their friend Cleo to arrive on the island ferry. Upon meeting T-Bone, who has just fallen onto his belly, Mimi laughs kindly and greets him, batting her eyelashes as she does so. T-Bone is instantly smitten, and he becomes nervous and sweaty when asked whether he's all right. Despite T-Bone's attempts to play it cool, Mimi insists on helping him back to his feet, at which point they hear Mimi's owner calling for her and T-Bone thus learns her name for the first time. T-Bone promptly introduces himself as well, and Mimi then bids him farewell before departing, leaving behind a starstruck T-Bone.

In "Mimi's Back in Town", Mimi-as the title suggests-makes another visit to Birdwell Island as she'd promised she would previously. Upon learning of her imminent arrival from a conversation between two humans, T-Bone becomes so excited that he gets distracted from a game he and Cleo are playing with Clifford. Cleo then informs Clifford of the news, and the two then comment how T-Bone spends his time with Mimi whenever she visits, much to his embarrassment.
When Cleo confronts him over his attempts to deny their accusations, Cleo calls him out, and T-Bone admits how highly he thinks of Mimi. After the ferry thought to be carrying Mimi arrives, T-Bone climbs up onto a stack of precariously stacked crates to search for her, and he soon spots her walking by. He then makes a somewhat awkward slide down the crates to meet her, and the two greet each other happily. T-Bone then arranges to meet Mimi at the library the following day, and she arrives bright and early and begins wondering where T-Bone is.
T-Bone soon arrives with Clifford and Cleo in tow, and the four engage in a game of tag. Later, while Mimi is out with her owner, T-Bone comes up and offers to share a dog treat, which Mimi agrees to readily. The two both try to lean in to bite the treat only to bump heads, which leads to the two of them laughing. Each then takes an end of the treat in their mouths, sharing a smile with each other as they do so. Initially unbeknownst to the pair, they are spotted by Clifford and Cleo, and Cleo begins teasing T-Bone about his affections for Mimi.
Mimi herself seems perplexed by this, deeming T-Bone's act as simply a nice gesture. The four friends engage in a game of freeze tag, and Mimi comes to T-Bone's aid after he gets frozen by Cleo. However, this leads to another bout of teasing from Cleo, and T-Bone ends up blowing up at her before running off, with Mimi leaving in obvious disappointment shortly thereafter. Clifford and Cleo end up following T-Bone, and to T-Bone's annoyance Cleo once again comments on his relationship with Mimi.
T-Bone and Clifford then help Cleo understand why T-Bone has been upset by Cleo's conduct, and the three then set off to find Mimi. Once Mimi has also been apologized to, T-Bone invites the group to play with his new ball. Cleo, however, insists that T-Bone and Mimi have the dog treat they were going to share earlier first, as they had left it behind after Cleo's earlier bout of teasing. T-Bone and Mimi bonk heads once again, leading to another laugh as the two settle down to enjoy their treat.
In "Big-Hearted T-Bone", Mimi once again visits Birdwell Island, this time while T-Bone is babysitting Cleo’s niece Kiki. Spotting Mimi from a distance, T-Bone is ecstatic, but recalls his promise to keep an eye on the precocious puppy. T-Bone briefly tries to direct Kiki somewhere he can meet Mimi, but he is forced to follow her instead. Meanwhile, Mimi meets up with Clifford, who assures her that T-Bone would be pleased to join them for some fun.
When Kiki again refuses to accompany T-Bone to see Mimi, T-Bone agrees to honor his promise to watch Kiki despite his strong desire to see Mimi. As Clifford and Mimi are looking for him, T-Bone takes Kiki to the playground. Despairing over being able to see Mimi, T-Bone looks up at the sky and sees-whether in reality or as a fantasy-a cloud taking on his beloved’s likeness. Though again tempted to impose his own will, T-Bone remains faithful to his promise.
Cleo informs Clifford and Mimi of the service T-Bone is performing for her, and the trio soon find T-Bone and Kiki. T-Bone, delighted, apologizes for not seeking out Mimi sooner, but Mimi is understanding of the situation and pleased with T-Bone’s faithfulness. When Kiki declares her fondness for “Uncle” T-Bone, Mimi echoes the sentiment, and the two older dogs lean against each other as a heart shape appears around them. In "Doghouse Rock", Mimi is among the animals who form the audience for T-Bone’s band, the Packstreet Dogs.
