Baby Got Back


"I like big butts and I cannot lie." Fred swung her hips as she sang, making exaggerated circular motions. She hit the wall with her paintbrush in a crisscross motion, emphasizing the lyrics. Some of the mint paint spattered on her shirt.

"Baby got back," Gunn said, a smile on his face.

Fred screamed, spun, and hit herself in the face with the paintbrush.

Gunn laughed, holding up his hands. "Didn't mean to frighten you."

Fred laughed back, blushing, her free hand touching her face, pushing back her hair, adjusting her glasses. "I didn't mean to scream. I'm sorry, sorry. I was alone and I forget sometimes that there are other people around here."

Gunn picked up a rag from the floor. "There are other people. Other people got ears, too." He winked as he wiped the paint off her cheek.

Fred grimaced and blushed, her lips curling back over her teeth and her eyes squinting. "I have five years of music missing. I'm so dated."

"Nothing dates 'Baby Got Back'," Gunn said. He crossed his arms over his chest and exaggeratedly checked her out. "I'm not complaining if some gorgeous girl wants to shake that nasty butt."

Fred giggled again, covering her mouth and almost hitting herself with the paint brush again. "Oh. Oh." She lowered the paintbrush and gripped her elbow, caving in her shoulders in a shy way.

Gunn chuckled, leaned over, and picked up another paintbrush. "Come on. We've got a lot of work today."

Fred pressed her lips together and licked them. "Thank you," she said softly.

They each turned to a wall and began painting. After a few minutes Gunn hummed, grinned at Fred, looking at her from the corner of his eye, and sang, "Baby got back."

LOL! Cute.

[theemdash]

Thanks!

[supercheesegirl.livejournal.com]

Aww, cute!

[theemdash]

Thank you. I thought it was quite silly and Chrysta-y.

[myras-girls.livejournal.com]

Too cute! I bet Joss would love it. hee.

[theemdash]

More importantly is if you love it. ;)

[myras-girls.livejournal.com]

Butta of course I do!

[kefira.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I love a good little story before going to bed. It put a smile on my face. And I must say, you are quite good with the visuals. I always enjoy reading your stories. I hope I have time to start reading them all. Sadly I have to pick and choose which to read right now. :(

[theemdash]

Thank you!

I hope I have time to start reading them all.

Even if you don't have time right away, they're always here for you to come back to. ;)

Hee! Thank you! Though it does remind me of Lilah's priceless "someday if I eat all my vegetables, I might have hips" line. XD

[theemdash]

*snicker* I like the fact of Fred singing this song. ;)

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Dude, yes.

[lynnenne]

This is very sweet.

She lowered the paintbrush and gripped her elbow, caving in her shoulders in a shy way.

Lovely visuals. :)

[theemdash]

Just a silly ficlet that tickles me so. ;)

I'm glad you like the visuals. I work on them even for the silly fics.

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

This is excellent. Sweet and funny, and a perfect evocation of Fred in the no-longer-wacko-but-still-a-little-jumpy phase. Go you!

[theemdash]

Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I love Fred best in Season 3 with her slightly crazy.

Seems like I am done with the Christmas fics. At least those I can bear to read. ;)

Now you can really be proud of me. Especially since I was reading your fics instead of catching up with my stupid work. But I needed a break to stop my brain from coming out of my ears.

*spanks your and Fred's butts*

[theemdash]

I'm happy that you're sort of caught up. I did post one other fic that is technically a Gift Fic, but you're done with all the ones I posted actually close to Christmas.

And doesn't this story scream "Chrysta"? *giggle*

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

Hee. It really does.

And I am sure I'll be caught up one day eventually. It helps that I have to wait for the boys all the time. Even though at the moment I should take care of the data loss during those times, but I can't workk 24/7.

*snuggles you*

[theemdash]

There are only 16 more fics that you'd be interested in reading and I think you've already read a few of them. So, you'll be caught up pretty soon.

Um, of course I should be posting another fic in the next two weeks. But that's just one! Err... ;)

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

16 plus one is 17. It is getting July pretty soon. Well, I guess I will be caught up by Christmas this year. So you can write me a new Christmas fic. ;p

[theemdash]

Ha, thanks! This was a fun little one.
