Community One Shots
Summary: During the summer Holidays, after the second paintball war. Annie begins to wonder: 'Why?' Why had Abed picked her to be his Princess Leia?
It's summer time for the Greendale 7, a time for relaxation, friends and to forget all about Greendale Community College. Just for those two monthes, they can forget that they are no longer a lawyer (Jeff), they got hooked on pills (Annie), they lost their scholarship (Troy), their marrige didn't last (Shirly), they're getting old (Peirce), they're a highschool dropout (Britta), and they are socially inept (Abed). The summer is a time to forget all of this. But poor Annie Edison couldn't follow the rules of summer the study group telepathically laid out. She was stuck on an event that occured on her last day of school before summer holidays at Greendale.
Abed picked her.
Those three words were on repeat in her mind, like a broken record.
Abed picked her.
Abed picked her.
Abed picked her.
Abed picked her.
Abed Nadir picked her.
He picked Annie Edison.
Abed Nadir had picked her, Annie Edison to be his Princess Leia.
Sure, it had been in a game of paintball asassin, and he had been playing Hon Solo. But he picked her. Out of all of the girls in the room, it was her. And it killed her. She wanted so badly to know why, out of everyone, he picked her. He could have picked Britta who loves the guys who treat her (to be blunt) like shit. He could have picked Vicki, who though has a thing for Fat Neil, is a pretty nice girl. He could have picked anyone in the entire room. But...he picked her.
Annie, in desperate need of answers, tries to hang out with Abed more than usual during her holidays. He doesn't mind. In fact, he welcomes her company.
For a few weeks, they watch movies, go out for coffee, debate about charactors and plots in T.V. series. Annie always works up the nerve to ask him the night before they hang out. But everyday, forgets to ask. She got so caught up in what they were doing, what they were talking about that she just forgets. In the end, she realizes that it doesn't matter why he picked her. All that matters is the fact that he did.
Abed picked her.
And that's what counts.
