Why This Must Be Read: "Community" is one of the most hilarious shows to come out this season, and this author nails every single character and relationship dynamic like they're writing for the show. Jeff is especially wonderfully drawn, and his interaction with each of the characters, particularly Britta and Annie, is a real treat. I almost feel like this is exactly how the show will go over the next few years. It begins after graduation, with a series of fake!flashbacks, and chronicles Jeff's history with the group leading up to their reunion night. If you're a fan of this show, you'll love this.
He sees Britta -- uh. He saw Britta on a Skype call during the graduation ceremony. She was in London saving whales or saving people or saving something and he thought it was insane at the time, Annie holding up her laptop so Britta could see the dean say embarrassing things, but he kind of wishes now that there were a way to have saved it. Like a video he could watch later. And he sees her on Facebook, pictures of her with soccer hooligans (seriously, Britta? Seriously?), pictures of her in some lame British hippie office, but mostly he sees her in her relationship status. Britta Perry: Single. It was "Complicated" with some Irish fuck last December, but it's mostly single and he hates, hates how much of an idiot he is for even caring. She left, right? With time still left in the year, she left. So, fuck her.
Or whatever doesn't make him sound 15.
It's two full weeks before the reunion that he finds some other bullshit to angst over on Facebook. (Why does he even have a Facebook account? Does he have to register as a sex offender now?) Annie's created a reunion Facebook group and there it is, unholy and tiny on his computer screen: Attending -- Britta Perry.
He is such a fucking girl.
If this were Abed's TV show -- and sometimes it feels like it is -- the screen would go all swirly and there'd be a flashback now. A flashback to Greendale and everything that maybe, somehow, led up to this. Led up to him sitting in a hotel room in Detroit, his MacBook with the faded Human Beings sticker on the cover ("Way to deface a $1,400 piece of technology there, Annie.") open and bright and reminding him there's a girl (a woman) he really likes out there and he just didn't have the stones to get her. That sounds like something Pierce would say and it's more than a little bit scary.
If he were Abed, the things in the flashback would be the following:
His sleeping with Annie. Not like graphic porn type shit, but the whole thing. More like --
Second year, Jeff comes back to debate for the whole season. Apparently you can get an English credit for that and arguing is arguing, right? Or it's one less class or something. And all right, maybe he gets a little hot, reflexively, thinking about debate now. Annie all tiny and her mouth all wet and years before the Facebook account he probably should've registered as a sex offender.
Somehow it all comes back. Annie grows into herself, stops whispering words for certain parts of anatomy and suddenly they're unstoppable everywhere. They're at Regionals, then State, for debate and then they're in a hotel room in Fresno and he sleeps with her.
Because apparently he has some smidgen of tact, he never tells anyone that she started it, but: she started it.
