A/N) Where Shellington tries out some bad pick up lines on his best friend, who doesn't seem to mind them that much after all...
Online: DynamicDiscoveries, SweetAsSugar
DynamicDiscoveries: 'you must be made of uranium and iodine since all I can see is U and I together'
DynamicDiscoveries: or maybe 'I feel so strongly attracted to you that scientists will have to discover a fifth fundamental force.'
SweetAsSugar: er hey Shel :)
DynamicDiscoveries: oh hey Dashi! Hehe I didn't know you were here :S
SweetAsSugar: you're laughing nervously over text
SweetAsSugar: that means you're up to something
DynamicDiscoveries: me? No, nothing!
SweetAsSugar: too innocent
SweetAsSugar: plus just a minute ago you appeared to be reciting different - science based compliments?
DynamicDiscoveries: ...
DynamicDiscoveries: promise you won't laugh
SweetAsSugar: c'mon, you know me, Shel. I wouldn't laugh at you
SweetAsSugar: I promise ;)
DynamicDiscoveries: Well I'm practising pick up lines
SweetAsSugar: pick up lines? Okay
DynamicDiscoveries: except I'm not great with them
DynamicDiscoveries: I've kind of had bad experiences with flirting
DynamicDiscoveries: it's never gone so well
SweetAsSugar: aww poor Shel
SweetAsSugar: what happened?
DynamicDiscoveries: Well I once went up to this girl, who I had a crush on when I was young, and I had all these ideas of clever pick up lines I could use on her. In the end, I panicked, and my idea of a clever pick up line was apparently 'So, you're a girl, huh?'
SweetAsSugar: XD
DynamicDiscoveries: then I panicked even more, knowing that was a stupid thing to say, so I just said really quickly 'I'm sorry, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.' And then I ran away.
SweetAsSugar: oh, poor young Shel XD
DynamicDiscoveries: hey, I was thirteen! :(
SweetAsSugar: No, it's cute XD
SweetAsSugar: a tiny bit creepy, but cute XD
SweetAsSugar: did you like her? The girl, I mean? Did little Shelly have a crush?
DynamicDiscoveries: I guess I did have a crush on her, but I was young back then. She was pretty, I remember that. Butpersonallyithinkyouremuchprettierbutanywayyeah
SweetAsSugar: what?
DynamicDiscoveries: oh nothing! Honest!
SweetAsSugar: hmm
SweetAsSugar: go on then
DynamicDiscoveries: go on then what?
SweetAsSugar: tell me a few of these amazing pick up lines. You can practise them on me
SweetAsSugar: So you can use them on this elusive crush of yours
DynamicDiscoveries: Well, okay...
DynamicDiscoveries: they might not be very good
SweetAsSugar: don't worry, that's what I'm here for
DynamicDiscoveries: thanks Dashi, it means a lot :D
DynamicDiscoveries: okay, here goes...
DynamicDiscoveries: You must be the acid to my litmus paper because every time we make contact I turn bright red
SweetAsSugar: hmm, it's okay, but not great
DynamicDiscoveries: okay, how about this one...?
DynamicDiscoveries: I used to be able to recite the English alphabet until we met, now I can't get past U.
SweetAsSugar: hmm, an improvement, but not by much
DynamicDiscoveries: huh, you're a tough marker
SweetAsSugar: that's my allocated job as best friend ;D
DynamicDiscoveries: okay then, try these ones out for size
DynamicDiscoveries: You're like a dictionary, you add meaning to my life
DynamicDiscoveries: or I don't have a library card, but can I still check you out?
DynamicDiscoveries: or Do you have a map? I seem to keep getting lost in your eyes.
SweetAsSugar: they're all getting slowly better...
SweetAsSugar: exactly how long were you up thinking of all these?
DynamicDiscoveries: a long time :S
DynamicDiscoveries: I'm no photographer, but I can already picture us together
SweetAsSugar: that's pretty good ;)
DynamicDiscoveries: No, wait, I have it!
DynamicDiscoveries: you'll love this one
DynamicDiscoveries: If I had a star for every time you brightened my day, I'd have a galaxy in my hand.
SweetAsSugar: aww, that's really sweet...
SweetAsSugar: that's the one
SweetAsSugar: See, Shel, you're not so bad at pick up lines after all!
DynamicDiscoveries: was that okay? Personally I prefer the uranium and iodine one, but that's just me
SweetAsSugar: yeah, I liked it! You should use that on whoever's your next crush, you might have more luck this time
DynamicDiscoveries: you know what, Dashi?
SweetAsSugar: what?
DynamicDiscoveries: I think I just did
SweetAsSugar: ... :o
A/N) Shellington trying to flirt is just too cute to my mind. TOO CUTE. XD
