Jeff Winger joined the chat
Abed joined the chat
Abed: Wearing a bowtie ✔
Abed: Ready to dance like the inspector in the episode where Constable Geneva gets married ✔
Abed: -waves arms above head in a silly manner and enters nearest pod of dancing students-
Jeff Winger: -Walks into the dance, texting, not even looking up as he enters-
Annie: -spots Jeff and waves above the crowd- Jeff!
Jeff Winger: Huh? -Glances up, walking in her direction- Oh, hey Annie. -Continues texting-
Annie: C'mon Jeff, it's a dance, do you have to text?
Abed: -looks slightly like a pentacostal-
Abed: or epileptic
Annie: -looks over at Abed-
Jeff Winger: Fine. No texting. -Puts his phone away, and holds up his hands as if surrendering-
Annie: So do you want to dance or am I going to have to go dance with Abed? -smiles-
Jeff Winger: I guess I can dance with you. -Grins-
Annie: -blushes-
Jeff Winger: -Offers out a hand- M'lady.
Annie: Milord.
Annie: Thanks for coming Jeff. I know you kind of hate these dances.
Jeff Winger: -Takes her to dance- Yeah. Well, you know I'd do all this dumb stuff for you.
Shirley joined the chat
Annie: Really?
Annie: Just for me? Not for the exhilarating experience of school spirit?
Shirley: -drinks some punch and sways awkwardly-
Jeff Winger: Oh, yeah, totally for that. -Rolls his eyes- Hey, listen, I wanted to talk to you...
Annie: -nods- Oh. Um... okay. Sure, what about?
Jeff Winger: You know about...What we were talking about.
Annie: Oh. Right. Gigi's little... assumption...
Jeff Winger: Yeah. Right. That.
Shirley: Ooh Abed! Nice to see such... interesting dance moves.
Annie: What about it?
Jeff Winger: -Sighs- Do you have to put me on the spot like that?
Annie: You're the one that brought it up.
Jeff Winger: Yeah, well. I'm not good at just diving into talking about feelings.
Annie: I never asked you to Jeff. It just... I... People spreading rumors and talking behind my back was kind of what ended me up here in the first place.
Annie: Not that it was a bad thing. Greendale was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Annie: It's just... it sucks is all.
Abed: Shirley!
Jeff Winger: Yeah. -pause- Me too. I hate this dump, but I owe it so much. And, you know, as much as I want to graduate at the end of this semester...I kind of want to stick around.
Abed: Show me what you got big cheddah!
Shirley: -breaks out outdated dance moves-
Annie: Aw, you big softy...
Jeff Winger: -Rolls his eyes-
Abed: Shirley, Shirley-those are the most amazing dance moves I've ever seen.
Annie: You know, you could always stay through the rest of the year instead of hightailing it out of here
Abed: -copies her style of dancing-
Shirley: Oh Abed, that's nice
Jeff Winger: I guess I could get through another few semesters of blow off classes, as long as there's no actual work involved.
Abed: -does hammer dance-
Annie: Aw Jeff, you'd do that?
Jeff Winger: I guess so. Annie...
Annie: You know, I could help you find the classes.
Jeff Winger: Yeah. Sure.
Abed: Are you having fun Shirley?
Abed: I know it's difficult for you to leave Andre and the kids to come out with us.
Shirley: Ohhh no. I love my kids but.... it's always nice to have a break. Andre even offered to look after Elijah and Jordan so we didn't have to hire a babysitter.
Abed: You've been working hard to get your business off the ground.
Annie: So... not to beat a dead horse or anything... but you never got around to telling me what it was you wanted to talk about
Annie: You avoided it
Annie: again
Abed: Do you need any help?
Abed: I've got experience making falafel and chicken strips.
Abed: I think switching to sandwiches will be easy
Shirley: I have been considering expanding the menu.
Shirley: It's only the first day and we're already outgrowing the business plan I had set up.
Shirley: I guess I didn't expect us to be this popular.
Jeff Winger: Yeah, well, avoiding things is what I'm good at. -Sighs slightly- Look, I've been avoiding all of this for three years. I've been pushing my feelings aside and saying it's creepy because you're too young, but the fact of the matter is, you're not anymore. You're a grown woman, and I can't keep treating you like a kid just because I suck at this...
Abed: Of course your business is popular
Abed: You worked hard on that business plan and your product's amazing. Burning down Subway was the best thing to come out of the Greendale Student Riots.
Abed: Occupy!Greendale was a real success.
Abed: If I could make a suggestion to expland the menu-buttered noodles would be amazing.
Annie: Wait... what?
Annie: Jeff are you...
Jeff Winger: What?
Annie: What are you trying to say?
Shirley: Ooh Abed you're right!
Jeff Winger: We're not 12, Annie. I don't need to say 'I like you'.
Shirley: I'm going to need some help though.
Annie: -blushes-
Abed: Sure I'll work the late night shift and then you can go home to your family.
Abed: You do stay there late baking for the next day...
Annie: You're right, we're not twelve. But we've been doing this whole on/off thing since... for a while now.
Annie: I can't keep wondering.
Jeff Winger: Yeah. I know. That's why I'm...Doing this.
Shirley: Abed that's nice of you.
Shirley: You're so considerate.
Abed: I've learned empathy recently.
Abed: Plust this is a self-interested request for employment since I need to pay rent next month.
Shirley: Well count yourself a part of Shirley's Sandwiches. I'm sure Pierce will be fine with it.
Abed: Gobi said I need to work part-time because he's going to have to sell the falafel restaurant soon.
Abed: Thanks Shirley! I can't wait to join the SS!
Abed: Does he approve all staff additions?
Annie: Jeff, I've liked you since you strutted into that study room, and tricked us all into thinking you were a Spanish tutor. I've been hurt countless times and I'm pretty sure only about 80% of it was unintentional. If you're saying what I think you're saying, I just need to know you're mind's not going to change tomorrow.
Shirley: He likes to think he does.
Shirley: Abed, why does your dad need to sell his restaurant?
Abed: ... I'm not sure. He said not to worry about it.
Jeff Winger: Annie, I'm not going to change my mind. I've been into you since the last dumb dance when we kissed. It was just a little creepy back then, because you were 18.
Annie: So you're saying you've liked me for four years? And the only thing stopping you was me being young?
Annie: -stifles her giggles-
Jeff Winger: Well, that's not the /only/ thing that stopped me. Also the whole commitment thing. And having sex with Britta. And what not.
Annie: And none of that's stopping you now? -skeptical-
Jeff Winger: Well, I'm not having sex with Brtita now, obviously. And you're not a kid anymore. And the other thing...I need to get over these hangups eventually, right? I haven't dated anyone since Slater.
Abed: I think it was really big of you to accept Pierce as a business partner.
Shirley: Well he does have good time funding it.
Annie: Aw Jeff, that's really big of you.
Annie: You're even talking about feelings.
Abed: I think you're the only investment that's ever gone well for him so yeah of course he does.
Jeff Winger: Oh God, Annie stop getting all mushy on me.
Annie: -hits his chest- Oh shut up.
Jeff Winger: Ow! -Smirks-
Abed: -points to Jeff and Annie-
Annie: Oh come on, that didn't hurt.
Annie: Don't tell me you're surprised.
Abed: I believe they are now canonical.
Shirley: What? What is it?
Abed: Like dating.
Abed: Look at the way they're touching each other jokingly
Abed:-kicking into detective mode-
Shirley: Abed... you don't think...
Jeff Winger: Surprised about what?
Abed: Yes I do think.
Annie: That I'm getting all "mushy"
Annie: You've known me for how long?
Abed: The signs are all there: they're initiating physical contact every few seconds, they're standing with their feet squared, they're not laughing awkwardly.
Shirley: OOooh! Abed! Jeff and Annie?
Abed: Annie's touching her HAIR Shirley
Abed: They are secretly fucking maybe
Shirley: Abed!
Jeff Winger: Yeah, well.
Annie: -leans her head on Jeff's chest-
Jeff Winger: What're you doing? -Smiles-
Shirley: You don't think... over the summer?
Annie: Enjoying myself.
Jeff Winger: Oh, well. Go crazy.
Annie: -smiles-
Abed: I don't know.
Shirley: You live with her, don't you?
Jeff Winger: So...
Abed: Yes
Annie: Hmmm...?
Abed: I mean, I know of her
Shirley: Has she been acting... ungodly?
Abed: And I may hide cameras around the apartment and film everything but
Abed: Well, she's Annie
Annie: -peers up at Jeff-
Abed: And Annie's not comfortable with her sexuality so maybe I'm wrong
Abed: Maybe they haven't slept together yet
Shirley: You best hope you're wrong.
Abed: But I think you should talk to her about using protection because I'm really not the right person to do that.
Jeff Winger: -Catches her lips with his- Just been wanting to do that for, like, two years.
Abed: I once told everyone at the STD fair not to wear condoms and then I had to help deliver a baby.
Annie: -leans up into the kiss-
Abed: In the back of an SUV
Annie: You know you could've done that a loong time ago.
Abed: Quick Shirley-make sure Annie's on the pill before it's too late!
Abed: They kissed!
Shirley: -is speechless-
Jeff Winger: Okay, well, now that's out of the way.
Jeff Winger: -Glances over to Abed and Shirley- ...Why are they staring at us?
Shirley: -her hand tilts, and some punch spills onto the floor- Oh. My. Word.
Annie: Abed is probably remarking about some "plot twist" or something...
Annie: I so don't care right now...
Abed: -makes a sound like TV static-
Jeff Winger: Annie Edison not caring? That's a first. Next thing you know, you'll be blowing off classes, and showing up late. -Smirks-
Shirley: -worried high voice- Abed are you okay?
Annie: Let's not get crazy now. -smirks-
Jeff Winger: I think we passed crazy about ten minutes ago.
Annie: Well then let's go bananas.
Annie: -gives him a soft kiss-
Abed continues to make a sound like TV static
Shirley: Abed??
Jeff Winger: -Kisses her back-
Abed: -blinks-
Abed: I'm sorry, got some interference with the other channels I'm back.
Annie: -threads her fingers through his hair-
Shirley: Abed are you sure you're okay?
Shirley: Honey?
Abed: Yes, I'm fine Shirley
Jeff Winger: ...You want a drink?
Abed: -sees Shirley's drink on the floor and bends down to pick up the cup and wipe up the spill-
Abed: Woah party foul
Annie: Are you offering?
Annie: Yes, I'd love a drink.
Jeff Winger: What d'you want?
Annie: Um... punch?
Jeff Winger: Right. On it.
Shirley: Oh Abed I'm so sorry. I must have spilled it when I noticed Jeff and Annie.... where is Jeff going?
Abed: I don't know let's steal over there
Abed: -walks with Shirley over to Annie-
Abed: Annie
Abed: Has Jeff gotten over the age gap?
Annie: Hmmm?
Annie: -still a bit struck- Yeah... I... I guess he has.
Annie: -uncontrollably grinning-
Abed: Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
Abed: -smiles because he predicted this eventuality three seasons ago-
Abed: Well congrats.
Jeff Winger: -Comes back with drinks- Oh. Hey, guys..?
Annie: You don't sound shocked.
Abed: I'm not.
Annie: Hey Jeff.
Annie: You're not?
Jeff Winger: Not what? -Hands her punch-
Abed: No. This stuff used to kind of bore me because it seemed trivial, the whole relationships thing
Abed: But when I got to know you more as a friend I became more interested in your relationship with Jeff
Abed: Because I guess you deserve to be happy and to be treated right
Abed: If Jeff makes you happy than it's great you two are dating now
Jeff Winger: Whoa, who said anything about dating?
Abed: -stares at Jeff-
Abed: I did, just now.
Annie: -looks at Jeff with doe eyes-
Jeff Winger: We're not dating
Annie: What's going on then?
Jeff Winger: We're ju- -Looks at Annie and stops talking- Don't give me that look.
Jeff Winger: What, you want us to be dating?
Annie: what "look" Jeff.
Annie: Then what was all that talk about before?
Jeff Winger: The doe eyes. The impossible to resist doe eyes. -Sighs- I just want to take it slow, Annie.
Abed: Wait, allow me!
Abed: -takes the drink in Jeff's hands and tosses it onto his shirt-
Abed: -angrily storms away-
Jeff Winger: HEY!
Annie: I'm fine with that Jeff... You know we've been "taking it slow" for like... I don't know two years.
Annie: Abed!
Abed: That's for ruining a magical night you grinch!
Jeff Winger: Ugh, this is an expensive shirt, Abed! -Takes his shirt off-
Annie: Abed! Jeff is not a- wow.
Annie: Ummm Jeff....
Jeff Winger: Yeah?
Annie: You took your shirt off.
Annie: It's kind of hard not to... stare.
Jeff Winger: Well done, Annie. Did you figure that out using all the skills you've learnt in Forensics class? -Pauses, then smirks- Oh is it?
Annie: -turns red-
Annie: Maybe...
Jeff Winger: Wait. Is this why you always tell me my shirts aren't working?
Abed: -returns to Shirley-
Abed: I'm sorry but that was painful to watch
Shirley: What'd they say?
Shirley: What's going on?
Shirley: Tell me boy!
Annie: Maybe.....
Abed: Jeff said they're not dating
Abed: To which Annie objected
Shirley: And...?
Abed: I poured a drink on Jeff's shirt.
Shirley: Are the? Aren't they? I need a resolution here.
Jeff Winger: Ha! I knew it!
Abed: -shakes head-
Abed: Oh Shirley11:31 PM
Annie: Shirts aside.... -draws circles on his chest- Abed brought up a good point.
Abed: Jeff is a mess. Maybe one day that boat will sail but for now it's stuck at the dock.
Jeff Winger: He did?
Abed: And I'm growing bored relationship stuff stinks I wish we could do a caper.
Abed: Or pranks.
Abed: Do you want to prank the Dean together?
Shirley: I like pranks...
Abed: Yes, this is definitely on my senior to do list
Abed: Let's go Big Cheddah!
Annie: I'm not saying we need to label anything because I know that kind of freaks you out, but... I don't want to wonder if some floozy is going to capture your attention and you're just going to run off and sleep with her.
Abed: What should we do?
Shirley: Oooh! College kids do prank don't they?
Shirley: We could fill the Dean's car with popcorn?
Abed: Kind of notoriously yes that's a thing.
Jeff Winger: Annie...Why would I even look at anyone else, if I had you?
Abed: Entire movies have been made about college prank hijinx.
Abed: But I think my favorite prank is from the parent trap.
Abed: Is there any honey at Shirley's Sandwiches right now?
Annie: If you feel that way, then what's so wrong with putting a label on it?
Shirley: I think so...
Jeff Winger: -Sighs- Fine. But no pet names.
Annie: Not even like... babe?
Annie: Milord?
Annie: Darling?
Jeff Winger: Those are acceptable, I guess.
Jeff Winger: No. Not darling.
Jeff Winger: That's just...No, Annie.
Annie: But it's so sweet!
Jeff Winger: ...No.
Abed: Good we can use the feathers in the Dean's assorted throw pillow collection
Annie: I guess I can deal with that...
Abed: Plus he's bound to have tacks and everything we need
Annie: So... just to be clear, we're dating now?
Jeff Winger: Yeah. I guess so.
Abed: This gonna be good.
Annie: -kisses Jeff-
Annie: So I can do that... whenever I want now?
Shirley: You sound like you know what you're doing Abed.
Shirley: Should I be worried?
Jeff Winger: -Kisses her back- Mhm.
Annie: I think I can deal with this.
Jeff Winger: Yeah, I guess it's not so bad. As long as you cut back on the bubblegum lip gloss. -Smirks-
Annie: -licks her lips- But it's delicious.
Annie: I could always change to cherry chapstick...
Jeff Winger: Eh.
Annie: you don't like cherries?
Jeff Winger: I'd rather you didn't wear anything.
Jeff Winger: ...I meant on your lips. But, now that I mention it. -Smirks-
Annie: Jeff! We're in public! -loud whisper-
Jeff Winger: I wasn't telling you to strip right this second...
Annie: Then what were you saying?
Abed: Yes Shirley you should be worried because now you've woken the dragon.
Abed: The pranking dragon.
Shirley: Oh dear...
Jeff Winger: Well, originally I was talking about lip gloss, but. Well, my car is right outside.
Annie: Really Jeff? Your car???
Jeff Winger: Well, there's always a supply closet down the corridor. -Smirks-
Annie: You have got to be kidding me.
Jeff Winger: Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
Annie: Who says I haven't?
Jeff Winger: -Raises an eyebrow- With who?
Annie: Whom Jeff. Direct object.
Jeff Winger: Don't avoid the question, Annie.
Annie: I never said I have. I just said no one ever said I hadn't.
Annie: For the record, it was a regular closet and my first time. He cried a lot so there aren't the best memories associated with closets.
Jeff Winger: -Looks at her, confused- Wait, what?
Jeff Winger: ...Oh.
Jeff Winger: Well. Car?
Annie: Vaughn lived in his car.
Jeff Winger: ...Empty classroom?
Annie: Now see... That's a new one.
Jeff Winger: Or, the study room. The study room is a nice place.
Annie: -smiles slyly-
Jeff Winger: You're actually thinking about it aren't you? Ha, oh you're easily corrupted, Edison.
Annie: You make it sound like this was all your idea.
Jeff Winger: That's because it was.
Annie: Because I definitely haven't been thinking about tonight for the past four years... -scoffs-
Jeff Winger: -Smirks- Oh really?
Annie: -kisses him- Like you're all that surprised?
Jeff Winger: -Kisses- I'm surprised that Annie 'Can't even say the word penis' Edison thinks about sex.
Annie: -whispers- Just 'cause I don't say it, doesn't mean I can't get creative...
Jeff Winger: Oh really?
Annie: mmm... really.
Jeff Winger: Interesting.
Annie: You bet your ass it's interesting.
Jeff Winger: So. -Smirks- Study room?
Annie: Unless you just want to get out of here altogether...
Annie: I'm in no rush...
Annie: -blinks up at him, tracing circles on his back-
Jeff Winger: You wanna blow off the dance? You sure?
Annie: Jeff, I'm not sure if you realised this... but we're one of the last couples on the dance floor.
Annie: -gestures to the four remaining couples (including the Dean and an androgynous partner in a spotted dress-
Jeff Winger: Oh.
Jeff Winger: Well, good, let's get out of here.
Annie: -slips her arm through his-
Jeff Winger: -Leads her out-
END
