Caption: Happy Spirit Day! Love, Dr. Lahiri #bullyingsucks #SpiritDay #newsweater

Mindy failed to notice the door of her office open as she continued to workshop potential poses for a picture. She also missed the judgmental roll of Danny's eyes when he realized what she was doing.

"Mindy, weren't you doing this very same thing during the entire commute this morning?" he asked, tucking the moderately thin file he held under his arm.

Maintaining her focus, she continued to adjust her body and the angle of the phone simultaneously. "Yeah, and I even managed to get a picture, but the guy next to me was aggressively adjusting his crotch in the background and it was impossible to crop him out," she explained with an air of frustration, raising the phone in the air and giving the coyest smile she could muster while the glowing screen faced her direction. She took a calming breath before snapping the picture, remaining absolutely still until she heard the manufactured click signifying the capture of the moment. She took a second to review the picture. "I want to tweet the perfect picture for Spirit Day."

"Spirit Day?" Danny reiterated, sounding utterly confused by the notion. "What's that?"

Mindy looked away from her phone for the first time since Danny entered her office. She bestowed him with a kind smile, which did nothing to soften Danny's confused expression.

"Spirit Day," Mindy began brightly, "is the day when those against bullying wear purple to show their solidarity." She gestured towards her fuzzy dark purple scooped-neck sweater and plaid pencil skirt. "It also shows their support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. Activism, Danny, get into it."

Danny raised his eyebrows in understanding and gave a short nod. "Well, that's pretty cool. Wish I had known; I would have worn a purple tie or something."

"Uuuh, you would have known had you checked your Facebook! I totally sent you an event invite days ago."

"Oh, my Facebook?" Danny questioned in an amused tone. "You mean that thing that you made for me behind my back, despite my very specific wishes? Yeah, shockingly, I don't check that much."

Mindy placed her hands authoritatively on her hips, still clutching her phone, and gave him a dubious glare. "Danny, how else do you connect with your buddies and loved ones? I know you're anything but a chatterbox on the phone and you ignore an irresponsible amount of texts."

Danny gave a noncommittal shrug. "I'm connected enough, Min. I talk to Ma and Richie every few days, my basketball buddies meet at the same time and place each week, I see you every day…what more do I need?"

The question hung idly in the space between them, leaving them both to stare at each other expectantly. It made Mindy ecstatic to hear herself listed as one of the few people he felt a need to connect with. She considered telling him that for a brief moment, but Danny spoke before she could get the words out.

"Well, I, uh, just came by to drop off Darla Church's file. I think you're right; she should definitely be put on early maternity leave and Level 3 bed rest." He handed her the file, which Mindy took with a smile.

"Thanks a lot, Danny," Mindy sighed gratefully, walking around her desk.

"Yeah, anytime," Danny replied quickly just before turning around to exit the room. He stopped in his tracks once he reached the door, then turned around and leaned a little on the door frame. Mindy looked up curiously.

"Hey," he called lightly, absentmindedly tapping the frame rapidly with his knuckle. "You, uh…you look really nice in purple."

Mindy beamed appreciatively at his very unexpected compliment. "Thanks, Danny."

Danny replied with a half smile and a final knock. "Alright, call me if you need anything." He exited the room, leaving a glowing Mindy in his wake.

A/N: Thank you so much for taking the time to read my new collection of Dandy ficlets/drabbles/one-shots! This is my method of getting through the unbearably long hiatus and I hope you enjoy the ride.

As I'm sure you've guessed, this collection will include sixteen one-shot glimpses of their friendship/relationship, told through the sacred artistic expression of selfies. They won't all necessarily exist along the same timeline because I am all about exploring different possibilities. My hope is that each little moment reflects an aspect of their relationship that we all enjoy. I hope to update often!

I would love to hear from you! Please leave a review, if you can! Also, I'm now on Tumblr! Just search for phunkybrewsterspen. :-)

Thanks again for your time! I hope you stick around!

Hollaatchyagirl,
