Abed pushes them out the cafeteria doors without an answer. Once they get to the crowd, they see a huge inflatable projector screen in the center of the quad.
"Abed, I'll ask again. What the hell is this?" Jeff asks sternly.
Abed points to the screen, "Shh. It's about to start."
A countdown begins on the screen.
3...2...1..
Abed appears on the screen fixing the camera shot coming off as oblivious that it's rolling.
Jeff looks over at Annie who seems to be ticked about something and impatient. He's sure that the ticked off part is due to the fact that Abed just ruined her party to show the school his new film.
Annie glances at Jeff, catching him watching her. She smiles and walks over.
"Hey," she greets casually with a bump of her shoulder to his arm.
"Hey," he replies, "I can't believe Abed thought it was okay to shut down your party for this."
Annie shrugs, "I will definitely be having a talk with him later, but if there's a possibility that this could help pay his part of the rent then I allow it."
"How is Britta paying for her share?"
"She got a job at a new bar that has a few more customers than the last one," Annie says with her eyes on the scree, but not paying attention to what is on it.
"That's good. It must be tough living with Britta. Did you build her a blanket fort for privacy?" Jeff asks with a laugh.
Annie shakes her head and laughs too, "No, actually Shirley gave is her old pull out couch so Britta sleeps on there."
They stand side by side silently watching the sci-fy movie unfold into madness. The actors seem to like to make eye contact with the camera a lot and the guns are water guns.
After about 30 minutes Annie realizes something and walks to Abed.
"Abed, can I talk to you for a second?" she asks as she pulls him by the arm from the group of people. "Where did you get money to pay for the projector screen?! And the projector!"
"I've been saving up," he says simply.
Annie puts her hands on her hips, "So, these past few months when you told me you could only afford to pay a portion of your portion of the rent you were really just scamming me and saving money for this?!"
"Sorry," Abed states, "I've gotta go now. See you at home."
Annie watched him walk away, slack jawed. She jumps when a hand rests on her shoulder.
"Oh! Jeff, what's up?" Annie asks slightly startled.
"You seemed troubled so I thought you'd wanna...I don't know...talk to someone?" Jeff says hesitantly.
Annie grins and nods, then gets him up to speed.
"Wow. Abed sure has become good at being selfish," Jeff jokes.
Annie rolls her eyes, "Well, as I said, I'll talk to him another time about all that. But, right now, all I wanna do is get out of this dress. It's so uncomfortable."
"Get a cab back to my place?" Jeff jokes with a smirk.
"Not quite yet," Annie says with a sly smile before patting Jeff's shoulder and walking away.
"Wait...not yet?"
