Surprisingly, Annie loved the wilderness. She found that her high maintenance tendencies would always calm down whenever she was in a forest. She was happier near the tall trees and the beautiful lakes. Her parents loved skiing, so every year, up until they lost contact, they would take her up to the mountains as a reward for her academic achievement. When Britta mentioned a weekend in a cabin, she jumped at the idea! It had been two years since she had spent time in the wilderness and after the craziness of her sophomore year at Greendale? She needed it.

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous. Britta had said that it was her brother's and he had offered to let them use it for as long as they liked, as long as nothing was broken or it ended up on the local news.

After unpacking and settling in, everyone had started to do their own thing. Britta had decided to organize the groceries and start lunch with Shirley, while Andre and the boys were watching television in the main bedroom. Everyone had decided early on that it would be easier to let Shirley and her family take the biggest room so that they could all have privacy. Jeff, who had quickly fallen asleep on one of the couches, was awoken suddenly by Troy, who wearing a some sort of raccoon cap on his head.

"It's really beautiful up here isn't it? Ah, I could totally see myself living somewhere like this when I'm old. Making friends with bears and deer, pretending to be stuck in a Disney movie, floating away on a bunch of balloons."

"Oh, it's just fabulous. I'm loving the bug bites I'm already feeling. So, where's your evil twin anyways?"

Troy motioned behind them towards a window, and Jeff found himself speechless.

She. Annie. Bikini. Woah. Headache. Can't breathe.

Sitting next to Abed was Annie, who had decided to sunbathe until lunch was ready. The cabin was right next to a lake, so it was a pretty obvious choice that they would bring bathing suits. He just didn't imagine he would be seeing so much of her so quickly. If they were alone and she wasn't Annie, she would probably be wearing much less.

"Is he looking?"

"Mhm. Troy owes me 15 bucks."

Annie had been growing very close to Abed and Troy since the paintball game. Yes, she and Abed had kissed and while she had misread his signals the first time, they were okay now. They had spent the first part of the summer eating lunch together during Annie's 30 minute break from work, or having movie nights in his dorm room. Troy and Abed had surprised her with a romantic comedy movie night (after watching too many Star Wars movies) and she baked them cookies and would leave little notes in the pockets of their jeans. Even with everything that had happened, they had each other. She wasn't little Annie Adderall anymore. She was clean for over a year now. She wasn't a lonely outcast with no friends. Abed and Troy had made sure that she never felt that way anymore, showering her with affection.

"Do you still have feelings for him?"

"To a certain extent, yes. But, I'm not going to keep making a fool of myself. Jeff made it clear that he would rather hook up with Britta secretly then admit he finds me attractive."

"But you know he does. He doesn't have to say it, you can see it in face. He looks like he wants to go all Rambo on me right now."

"Yet, he still thinks I'm this 18 year old girl he met on the first day of study group and I'm just tired of it. Part of me wishes I had just gone with Vaughn when I had the chance."

"No. It wouldn't have made sense for you to go with him to Delaware. You still need to do some more growing up. Since I'm trying to tone down the movie references, I'll just be honest with you, I would have missed this too much."

Jeff, who was still watching the twosome intently, was suddenly feeling very sick to his stomach. Annie was lovingly hugging the tall boy, and throwing clumps of grass into his face. He watched as the two friends chased each other around the yard, attempting to shove each other into the lake. Running onto the pier, Troy (who had joined them) and Abed suddenly picked her up and threw her into the lake, laughing hysterically as Annie shouted at them to help her out of the cold water. He could deny he was jealous, but he knew better. She looked so carefree, something he rarely ever got to experience with her. He wasn't accustomed to this Annie, this relaxed and extremely happy person. She pulled Troy into the water with her and Abed quickly followed in. Jeff felt like he needed to lie down again.

So! Hiya everyone! Still missing Community, still wanting to finish this story.

I'll probably have the 3rd chapter up by Sunday morning the latest. Tell me what you think?
