Monday Madness: The Friend Jump

Agatha and Fitz were sitting in a park talking and laughing about things. All of the sudden, Fitz makes a swift move, putting his arm around her and pulling her close. Agatha sits stiffly, stunned by his sudden change. The talking and laughing ceased; they sat in silence. Agatha couldn't figure out why she felt surprised; she liked Fitz and was happy at the direction that things were moving, but she felt a little odd and she wanted to know why. Fitz was not unaware of Agatha's change and was starting to get a little nervous. He tried to ask her questions and get the conversation flowing again, but she was not as accommodating as he would like.

Finally like a light bulb the realty dawned on Agatha and she excitedly exclaimed, "Oh, we are doing the friend jump. That's why this is awkward, but I didn't think we were that good of friends!"

Fitz looked a little stunned and stammered, "I thought we were pretty good friends..." 

To the reader: Fitz and Agatha had actually been friends for easily 4 months which may not seem like much, but it had been four months of endless interactions and Fitz was right, they were good friends.
