so this is what i've been doing instead of righting your beloved stories. i've been writing a whole new one. and it's done. so if you like it, i've got the rest ready to go. it's completely in ims, and it was really fun to write, and hopefully fun to read.

i'm going to ask you to suspend reality for a little while, although if you're reading an addex fic you're probably all ready very good at that. just pretend for the sake of my story that addison and alex are stupid enough that they don't know that they're talking to one another. and pretend that callie would feel the need to play matchmaker. and pretend that i know when this takes place. and pretend that addison didn't leave for la. or even go in the first place. and pretend that addison would start talking to some random guy who won't tell her his name and that alex would actually im someone just because torres told him to. i'm asking you to pretend all of this for the sake of addex. and therefore you must.

-insert disclaimer of your choice here-

trappedinmytower: bastardoutofnowhere would like to chat. Accept or decline?

bastardoutofnowhere: who are you?

trappedinmytower: who are you?

bastardoutofnowhere: i asked you first

trappedinmytower: well, i asked you second

bastardoutofnowhere: so?

trappedinmytower: so answer the question. i can't have random creepy guys popping up in my im

bastardoutofnowhere: why should i, when you don't?

trappedinmytower: because if you don't, i'm going to block you because you're creepy. how'd you get my sn anyways?

bastardoutofnowhere: an acquaintance gave it to me

trappedinmytower: and you don't know who i am?

bastardoutofnowhere: i dunno. she just gave me it and said to im you. she didn't tell me who it was. plus, she's my boss and when she says jump, i pull out the trampoline

trappedinmytower: you have strange acquaintances

bastardoutofnowhere: you have strange friends

trappedinmytower: and why would you say that?

bastardoutofnowhere: because the chick's got to be your friend if she's got your im and is giving it out

trappedinmytower: you make a good point.

trappedinmytower: look, i've gotta go, but if your boss tells you to im me again, feel free. i'm fairly confident you're not a creepy, middle aged stalker. ;)

bastardoutofnowhere: thanks?

trappedinmytower: bye

trappedinmytower: callie torres did you give my sn to one of your residents? don't you dare lie to me

ChiefTorres: no. stop glaring at the computer like that, you'll burn a hole in the screen.

trappedinmytower: i am not glaring at the screen

trappedinmytower: ok, maybe a little

ChiefTorres: well, stop. and i didn't.

trappedinmytower: are you sure?

ChiefTorres: why would I do something like that? i'd have to be trying to set you up or something. which i'm not. besides, would i forget doing something like that? i don't think so.

trappedinmytower: well, if you're sure…

ChiefTorres: i am

trappedinmytower: then i have to go interrogate more of my friends. bye!
