EVERYTHING TAKES YOU BACK
the song drabble meme
It's pretty simple and fun, folks. This is how this works!
( 01 ) Have a playlist ready! Don't use all your songs--try and narrow it down a little.
( 02 ) Let everyone know how many songs you're working with. Also, which characters you would be willing to write about.
( 03 ) Others tag your post, picking a character or pairing or friendship or familial relationship or whatever, and then choose a number from your list.

Re: BULLYING OF LOVE???
[This takes place in the AU where Flynn isn't a complete moron and tells Alan what's going on.]
I'm gonna get myself connected.
I ain't gonna go blind
For the light that is reflected.
Hear me out.
Can ya hear me out...
"This is ridiculous even for you, Flynn," Alan said to his friend's back, straightening up after he'd emerged from the tunnel behind the Tron arcade game.
"Hey, look, I told you to wear comfortable clothes," Flynn said as he pulled open a set of double doors labeled 'Danger: Electrical Room.' Alan grumbled—slacks and a dress shirt were comfortable—but followed Flynn into the underground brick room.
"That is Lora's laser," Alan said.
"No, it's a duplicate. Sit-sit-sit." Flynn gestured to a chair in front of a mainframe. Alan gave him a sidelong glance, but Flynn just grinned and bounced on his toes. Alan gave up with a sigh and sat. Humoring Flynn generally worked out in the long run, even if it was intensely frustrating in the short one. Flynn reached over Alan's shoulder and tapped out a series of commands one-handed. "Choose a password."
"You're not going to explain any of this, are you?" The question was rhetorical, and they both knew it. User "Alan1" thought for a moment and set his password.
"Okay, man." Flynn was suddenly much more serious, but the mischief still glittered behind his eyes. "This is gonna be pretty weird, but it's safe, I swear. I do it all the time. When you come through, just step out of the way and I'll be along in a couple minutes."
"Come through to where? There's only one door to this roo—never mind. Just do whatever it is you're planning." Alan threw his hands up in about as much gesticulation as he ever did, and leaned back in the chair. Flynn grinned and clapped him on the shoulder, and Alan rolled his eyes but couldn't quite suppress all of a smile. Flynn entered a few more commands, then took a long step back. "'Aperture clear?' Flynn, what the he—"
The world turned itself inside out in a burst of light, and Alan was...sitting at the desk, still? No. The room was the same, but different, all sleek and black, and his clothes had turned sleek and black, as well. Alan stood up and rolled the chair back into place under the desk in an automatic tidy habit. It was dark and he couldn't make out much, but he set out to...retrace? his steps. Flynn had promised things were safe, and it never for a second occurred to Alan to doubt him.
There was no bending double to fit through Flynn's crazy secret passage this time. The hallway had a respectable, non-secret door that led out into what Alan wasn't surprised to discover was the arcade, rendered in sleek black with blue-white accent lighting. It was deserted, but there was sound and light coming from where the street should be. Alan pushed open the door, stepped onto the sidewalk—and stopped short as an actual light cycle zipped by in the road.
"Flynn, you were serious." Alan went to adjust his glasses as he gawked at the impossible buildings rearing into the dark, and realized he wasn't wearing any. People—programs? passing by, their clothes black with glowing lines of various colors like everything else, slowed down to gawk at him, but when they got a look at his face, they smiled and nodded with what Alan didn't think he was imagining was respect, then continued on their way. He was so distracted by the delighted shock of realizing he was on Flynn's Grid that he didn't notice the person coming up behind him until a clipped voice demanded, "Identify, program. This is a restricted area."
Alan started, then turned to explain himself to the cop. Police apparently looked and sounded the same inside a computer as they did anywhere. Before he could speak, however, the program's eyes widened and he snapped to what various movies had taught Alan was attention. "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't recognize you with your circuitry off. Do you require any assista—"
[tl;dr, apparently. continued...]
Re: BULLYING OF LOVE???
"So. What do you think?" This was Flynn at his most smug, but Alan couldn't begrudge him. "...Wait. Don't tell me until you've seen it from the sky. Our ride's on its way." He jerked a thumb at the enormous floating machine that was approaching from over the rooftops.
"...Space Paranoids?" Alan gaped. A vehicle that no quirk of physics would let fly in the real world drove everything home, and he looked helplessly at Flynn, at a loss for what to do but stare.
"Yeah, well, I had the code kicking around. They're on our side this time." Flynn's hand tightened on Alan's shoulder. "I've been waiting to show you this for ages, my friend. C'mon." Flynn steered him toward where the Recognizer was maneuvering in for a landing. "We'll get you a disc, and then there's someone you have to meet."
Alan couldn't for the life of him figure out why Flynn's smile had gotten even wider.

Unfortunately I front-loaded the playlist for Legacy-era Flynn, so it's pretty goddamn depressing. >_>
I might write something different for it, though.
