A Different Kind Of Red & Pink Relationship
By: The Leader In Red
Disclaimer: I don't own a damn thing. (This applies to every drabble in this series. No original characters. I was gonna put this in the first one but I forgot.)
Theme: Why?
Summary: On the way home, Vida reflects on her recent interactions with Nick.
Author's Notes:
- The timeline is post-Closing Time (the previous drabble).
- This drabble's title is the title of a Norah Jones song while the first one (I forgot to mention this beforehand) is the title of a song by Semisonic.
- Okay, it's only been four days or so since I uploaded the first ficlet but I've been inspired. But my goal is to update weekly even if I'm not so inspired.
- I thought I'd add some insight into Vida's relationship with Madison. I always thought that Maddy was like, 18 months older than Vivi…so yeah. Some say they're twins but…I don't think so.
Don't Know Why
"I guess I'm…we're lucky to have you two as teammates…and friends."
What did Nick mean by that? I'm not entirely sure how I should take that…
I kinda wish Maddy hadn't asked to be dropped off at the mall…I could have used her insight on this.
Yeah…Madison at the mall. That one's new. I mean, she never really sought out attention…she just got it because of her talent. She won some awards and people always approached her with a compliment. I could see how uncomfortable she'd get…I'd always be there to help things along. But somehow, despite her shyness, I'm not surprised that Ben noticed her. She was always the prettier one…
But earlier, when Nick and I were talking…he was talking to me. I guess it was one of those rare moments I wasn't in Madison's shadow.
But…why me? Why did I suddenly matter to Nick? I mean, Chip and Xander seemed cool with him from the get go and Madison even tried her best to get him to stay in Briarwood. I was…I guess I was indifferent. But now I'm glad he stayed. I don't know why, but I'm glad he stayed.
