A/N: Hello all! Welcome to my attempt to crawl out of the abyss of apathy and get some writing mojo back so I can continue the Fanfics I've left hanging (sorry bout that). These are just drabbles where I put my entire music collection on shuffle and try to write something before the song ends. Having lots of fun with it so far. Most will probably involve Lucy because she's my girl, but other characters of varying stripes will abound. Enjoy!
"Backwards" by Rascal Flatts
Lucy cringed at the country song oozing from the jukebox. But what did she expect from a bar like this? Then, she started actually listening to the lyrics.
You get your mind back
You get your nerves back
You get your first heart attack back
After a few lines, she started snickering into her glass of whiskey. By the second chorus, she was full on giggling.
It sounds a little crazy,
A little scattered and absurd,
But that's what you get
When you play a country song backwards
By the end of the song, she was hunched over the bar top trying to remember how to breathe.
"I take it you like my music choice?" A voice said at her side. She glanced up and tried to blink away the tears of mirth to see who had chosen this abysmal but so fucking hilarious song. Her giggling increased as she reached out and snagged the shot glass her friend was offering. She tipped it back as soon as she caught a breath.
"Thanks, Cana, I needed that laugh."
"I could tell. Now, are you drunk enough to go get your washing machine back from that prick or do we need more shots?"
