The Whose Line is it Anyway Fanfiction Archive

Wow, that was a little creepy with Dave kinda reverting back a little bit to his medicated days, latching onto Colin like that.

But then redemption with the whole thing about Dave not wanting to be alone, and people abandoning him... *sniffs* Poor Dave. He probably doesn't have any family... Or maybe that's who he was talking about.

Ryan and Colin can be his family! *g*

Colin allows himself to be dragged by Dave down towards the river. "Let's skip rocks!" Dave exclaims.

Colin picks out several round, flat rocks from the shore. He dusts the sand off of them, and turns them over in his palms, enjoying the smooth texture.

Dave bends down and grabs a handful of rocks, no matter the shape, and hurls them into the river. "I'm not too good at this," he says, scratching his head. "Why won't they skip for Dave?"

When Colin throws his rock and it skips several times, Dave's eye widen. "How did you do that? Will you show Dave?"

Colin smiles and pats Dave's arm. "Sure," he says. "All you have to do is find a bunch of flat rocks like these." And he gestures to his stockpile.

Dave bends over, picking up one of the rocks and pinches his fingers around it, getting a feel for the size. "Flat like these?" he asks, setting down the rock.

He keeps his fingers held apart and hunches over the shore, comparing rocks against the width of his fingers until he finds a good specimen and holds it up triumphantly. "Lookit! Lookit what Dave found!"

Colin grins as Dave dances around. Watching Dave almost makes him want to dance too, and he lets himself go, body bouncing rhythmically up and down for a few beats. "Good," he says. "Now come on over here and I'll show you how to throw it."

Dave bounds over to him, rock clutched between his fingers to make sure he doesn't drop it. "Okay! I'm here!" he announces.

Colin shows Dave how to flick his wrists just right, with a little twist. After several tries, and a few more rock hunts, Dave manages to make one of his rocks skip.

"Dave did it!" he yells, going into another dance. He spikes one of his rocks like a football player in the endzone, and Colin slaps him five.

They spend a few more minutes skipping rocks together, with Dave doing a passable imitation of the plopping sound they make as they hit the water, and then he seems to grow bored all at once.

Colin's about to throw another rock when Dave snatches it out of his hand, flinging it towards the trees. "Now let's play jumprope!" he says. "Can you do Red Hot Pepper?"

"Um, I'd love to," Colin says, even though the thought of all that exercise on top of the workout he already got earlier at the immunity challenge makes his heart palpatate. "But we don't have any rope."

Dave shimmies up a tree and snaps off a vine. "We can use this!" he yells as he leaps back down, landing on his feet like a cat.

And Colin whimpers, wondering if he can distract Dave with something else...

More filler. LOL. I don't know where I'm going with this, so I'll hand it off to you. *g*
