Summary: In which the Paperclip Incident makes stuff happen. Four separate conversations taking place during another one of those Important Meetings. Prequel-type thing to Passing Notes.
Notes: OK, so. doompaw and I wrote this weird comment fic about Katie bullying Bradley, I discussed the repercussions of such an event with thisissirius, and then I ran into this conversation I once had about Bradley being weird with sophieisgod and this baby was born. YOU CAN BLAME THEM FOR THIS.

\0/ I am mildly tempted to write Bradley and Colin's adventure finding a dumbwaiter and getting stuck in it, haha.

Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you for reading! ♥

Also, Angel's knowledge of Cylons and The Significance of CAPSLOCK can mean only one thing: SHE IS A CLOSET FANGIRL. I DEMAND THAT KATIE CATCHES HER WRITING COLIN/BRADLEY RPF.

KATIE: HEY, WHAT'S THAT?
ANGEL: UM NOTHING. KATIE STOP READING IT. DDDD:
KATIE: IS THIS - IS THIS RPF? ABOUT COLIN AND BRADLEY???
ANGEL: I CAN EXPLAIN. WAIT - HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT RPF IS?
KATIE: ...

Following this, Bradley probably starts finding PLASTIC UNICORNS in his room, and for Christmas gets a huge stuffed one from Katie. His parents are most unpleased.


Bradley's mother absolutely hated the unicorn. When he'd brought it round so she could see what he got for Christmas this year, she attempted to rip its horn off (there was always the off chance that she'd mistaken it for some strange, new vegetable, but Bradley liked to think that her actions had meaning).

Fortunately, he was able to rescue the stuffed creature before anything too terrible happened to it. Unfortunately, he was going to have an impossibly hard (heh) time explaining to Katie why a sizable chunk of the mane was now missing.

..... AHAHAHAHAH, OH BRADLEY. INTERPRETIVE DANCE. PRANCE ABOUT IN MEADOWS OF FLOWERS.

.... You know, I love Katie and Angel and their NETWORKING OF D00M. I love how they go from Colin's raised by ponies to Bradley being raised by unicorns, whut? XDDDDD

[lovestories.livejournal.com]

LOL, I AM GLAD YOU ENJOY THE EPIC CRAZY THAT IS BRADLEY'S SECRET CHILDHOOD. XD

[lovestories.livejournal.com]

It's like this game I used to play in elementary school! You'd whisper something in a person's ear, and go around in a huge circle to see how distorted the message was at the end of the line.

Clearly the next step is for Richard Wilson to take up puzzles during downtime instead of table tennis. I recommend this 500 piece wonder and asking if Bradley would like to help.

Katie would be lucky to never meet Bradley's mother who would probably tear her a new one for any inappropriate unicorn comments. It was just lucky that they lived in a remote area and that Bradley's cellphone got such good reception.

Unicorns to Bradley are obviously paperclips to Colin. One day some fangirl will ask him to sign a picture of a sparkly unicorn and he will break down crying, or something.


Colin's fate as Bradley's One True Love is sealed when Bradley takes him to visit his mother (not that he tells Colin she's his mother, or anything - that can wait until their eventual first anniversary) and she nibbles at his left ear affectionately.

"She likes you!" Bradley exclaims excitedly. He contemplates throwing his arms around Colin's neck and hugging him, but figures that might be a little too gay. Though it might lead to him losing his Shagging In A Meadow Of Flowers Virginity, which would be exciting.

[mklutz]

Colin's life is clearly so much easier than Bradley's, but really, he has no one but himself to blame. Honestly, he totally lacks subtlety. And I love it.

Colin takes the whole pony-family thing very well, and Bradley's mom seems enamoured of Colin's soft Irish accent, the same one that had confounded and distracted Bradley so terribly at first.

Even Bradley's Dad seems to like Colin, tossing his mane a little and giving Colin a very serious look that nonetheless had a thread of approval running through it, even as he chewed sloppily on a mouth-full of grass.

OMG WHY IS THIS SO STRANGELY PLAUSIBLE? WHY? NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE DREAMS ABOUT BRADLEY FROLIKING IN A MEADOW. WITH PONIES. XD

[prelusion.livejournal.com]

OHEMGEE!
YOU ARE MADE OF LULZ!
For some reason I can only imagine Bradley as an adult deciding that he wanted to be raised by ponies. Colin tries to tell him that ponies don't raise people and that, even if they did Bradley's already been raised by actual people and he is An Adult. Bradley does not listen to Colin as it has been his 12 minute life long dream to be raised by ponies. He frolicks into the nearest flowery field, strips off his clothes and beings an interpretive dance whislt Colin shakes his head and returns to the shade as not to get a tan.

(To clarify for Bradley: WRITE MORE!)

[porntestpilot.livejournal.com]

1) I was raised by cylons

2) My roommate came home today and completely serious said, 'omg, you're wearing pants' and then kept harassing me.

3) Aren't dumbwaiters small? Are British dumbwaiters larger?
