A/N: Hello! :D For this short, I thought I'd experiement with a Simonette drabble. This is for no apparent reason, and, I'll admit, doesn't have much of a plot. This is more of a warm-up excerise so I can *hopefully* get some idea on how to plan my next chappy of Nutmeg's Story. Anyhoo, I'll shut up now.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, all my love and devotion to the Chipmunks and Chipettes isn't enough for me to own them. Simon and Jeanette and the rest of the gang all belong to Ross and Janice.
Of course, she was going to fall. Her lucky streak wasn't going to last very long; she knew that from the start.
She was shocked when she had gotten to the breakfast table without falling down the stairs.
She was shocked when she had gotten dressed without tripping on air.
She was shocked when she entered Thomas Edision Elementary without tripping.
So she expected to fall sometime later. Naturally.
It was obvious this wouldn't last very long. How lucky could one get in one streak? Not very. And especially not Jeanette Miller. No, especially not her.
Talking about Chemistry assignments with Simon probably made her footing go whack. He did that to her, whether they were talking about Chemistry, or Nicholas Sparks, or even their annoying siblings.
She was in love with him... but that was her little secret for now.
As she managed to trip over her own foot, Jeanette went flying, the ground getting closer... and closer... and...
Suddenly, a muscled, familiar arm caught her around her waist and pulled her up. "You okay?" Simon asked her worriedly.
"O-Oh, I-I'm fine S-Simon," Jeanette stuttered, "T-T-Thanks, f-for, uh, c-catching me."
"Welcome, Jeanette," replied Simon, stifling a chuckle as her cheeks grew a shade of powder pink. "You had a good run," he added, hoping to cheer her up.
"At least I enjoyed it while it was around," she chuckled.
"Yep," agreed Simon. "Now, let's see if we can catch the others in the lunchroom."
Of course she'd trip, and of course he'd catch her. They had a little system. And that was never going to change.
A/N: So.. what did you think? I didn't exactly like that, but I'd like to see what you guys think of it. If I get super-embarrassed over time, I'll take it down, maybe.
Anyway, please R&R, as always, and no flames, please. :D
See ya'll later!
