Written for this prompt from the Quinn/Artie Forum:
Mud, jeans, willow tree, kitschy, lemonade
IM FIC! (not part of the All My Dreams/The Smile on Your Face universe)
Quinn says: Artieeeeeeeeeeee
Artie says: Quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
Quinn says: What're you up to?
Artie says: Not much, just sitting here watching the rain. It's always boring after you leave.
Quinn says: Awww. Well, if it's any consolation...it's always boring when I get home, too.
Artie says: How would that be a consolation? That just makes it worse. I don't know why you had to go home in the first place. You should have just stayed here.
Quinn says: LOL, Artie!
Artie says: Well, it's true.
Quinn says: I had to go home and get the mud out of my jeans!
Artie says: That was...a lot of mud.
Quinn says: That's the last time I'm attempting to climb that stupid willow tree!
Artie says: I told you it was a bad idea.
Quinn says: No...you said, "wait, let me get my camera."
Artie says: ...and then I said it was a bad idea.
Quinn says: LIAR!
Artie says: Well, I said it wasn't something I would do...which was the truth? But not because I wouldn't want to...it just wouldn't end well.
Quinn says: LOL. Well, at least the gigantic pit of mud you call a front yard broke my fall.
Artie says: Hey, I tried to catch you!
Quinn says: You were 20 feet away on the path. I don't know how you thought that would work!
Artie says: It's the thought that counts! And besides...if I had actually been in that mud...you would have had to save me, because I would have been stuck.
Quinn says: It wouldn't have been so bad, if I hadn't landed on your stupid kitschy lawn ornaments! And, if you had been stuck in the mud, at least I could have landed on top of you!
Artie says: My grandma gave us those! And landing on top of me instead of the little raccoons wearing dresses would have hurt you more.
Quinn says: They're ridiculous! And...hard.
Artie says: LOL. I know. I actually can't stand them, but...Grandma.
Quinn says: And then, as if you saying you were going to catch me FROM THE PATH wasn't enough, you said "It's a beautiful day. Do you want some lemonade?"
Artie says: I panicked.
Quinn says: ...how does that make sense?
Artie says: What? When I panic I ask people if they want lemonade.
Quinn says: ...
Artie says: ok, so that only happened once...BUT STILL...
Quinn says: Maybe that could be your new thing.
Artie says: Asking people if they want lemonade? Yeah...that can be my new thing.
Quinn says: I can picture it now.
Artie says: OMG me too.
Quinn says: I was kidding. You are such a dork!
Artie says: I was kidding too.
Quinn says: Even through IM, I can tell you're lying.
Artie says: I'd never lie.
Quinn says: Right. You'd never lie.
Artie says: Are you calling me a liar?
Quinn says: If the shoe fits...
Artie says: Don't bring my shoes into this!
Quinn says: LOL. I can just picture your face right now.
Artie says: Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?
Quinn says: A good thing.
Artie says: Oh, ok. lol
Quinn says: You're so cute.
Artie says: I know.
Quinn says: This would be a good time for you to say I'm cute too.
Artie says: I thought that was a given.
Quinn says: Oh, Artie.
Artie says: Ok, fine. Quinn, you're so cute.
Quinn says: ...it loses some of its spark when I tell you to say it to me.
Artie says: Ok, fine. I'll say it when you least expect it!
Quinn says: LOL
Artie says: I think you should come back over now that you've changed your clothes.
Quinn says: I could...
Artie says: And I think you should bring extra clothes and leave them here, so a little mud doesn't kill our day next time.
Quinn says: There isn't going to be a next time. I'm staying away from the mud from now on.
Artie says: ...I thought you meant there wasn't going to be a next time for you coming over here.
Quinn says: No!
Artie says: Ok, just checking.
Quinn says: So...I think I will come over again.
Artie says: Ok, when?
Quinn says: I'm leaving now.
Artie says: Eeeeeexcellent.
Quinn says: LOL, Artie! See you in a few.
Artie says: I'll be waiting for you! :D
Quinn says: :D
