Backpedaling on the Relationship Upgrade (or at least trying to). A pair that's had their first kiss, or made out, or even gone straight from zero to sex in 30 seconds, will mutually decide afterward to pretend nothing happened. Cue cries of outrage from the Shipping crowd. If the two were Kissing Under the Influence, if Aliens Made Them Do It, if there was a Love Potion involved, or if it was some other form of Deus Sex Machina, it's almost believable when they successfully do just that. After all, the feelings weren't real (or they can at least pretend that's the case). They may not even be in a Romance Arc at all; just two characters randomly selected to supply the sex appeal for the episode (though now that they've had romantic contact, they're guaranteed their own shippers anyway). If there was no excuse other than raw passion, however, there had better be some sort of change in their interactions or the believability breaks down. You can't hold on to the old relationship status quo after you've voluntarily swapped fluids. After all, Sex Equals Love. That doesn't stop some from trying however. This can become a common tactic/habit for the Tsundere to fall back on. The phrase may be used explicitly, or the decision may be implicit, with the two pointedly talking about everything but what just happened. Not the same thing as Fanon Discontinuity, which is when the fans are the ones pretending something didn't happen, or one way of saying You Didn't See That or Let Us Never Speak of This Again after mild non-relationship embarassment. For another form of backpedaling, see Relationship Reset Button. Not to be confused with I Was Never Here. |

Advice and Trust: Subverted in chapter 2. After kissing the night before, Asuka tells Shinji they have to stop. Shinji is crestfallen, believing she has changed her mind about getting together, but she tells him that was not what she was getting at; she meant they have to stop when other people are around. | |

Highschool of the Dead: Most of what happened in the "Drifters of the Dead" OVA didn't happen since they'd all been hallucinating from breathing the smoke from hydrangea leaves. The same couldn't be said for Rei and Saeko, who wound up up frenching each other, in the nude - while thinking they were making out with Takashi. After the effects had worn off and they realized what they'd done, they both agreed that what happened on the island, STAYS on the island. | |

One episode of Hustle required Ash and Stacie to be photographed making out. After the photoshoot, they just stood around awkwardly, trying to be casual. Ash's nickname is Three Socks, after all. This one worked so well because there had never been any subtext between those two, and there hasn't been any since: it truly was just kinda awkward for everyone involved. | |

In Toradora!, Taiga accidentally knocks Ryuuji unconscious into the pool during her competition with Ami, over who Ryuji would hang out with all summer. She's the only one who notices what happens and tries to save him. The screen cuts to Ryuuji regaining consciousness, where we see the whole class huddled far from him, except for Taiga. She's hanging over Ryuuji, not letting anyone else near him, screaming "RYUUJI IS MINE!". Later, when Ami teases her about the incident, she looks like she's gonna properly confess, but simply claims that Ryuuji's her dog and that it's natural to worry over your pet. Ryuuji smiles and Ami gives her an annoyed look. | |

In Mad Men these are often Don Draper's Arc Words and the results clearly deconstruct the trope. In season four, after Don sleeps with his secretary Allison and then makes it clear he has no intentions of starting a relationship with her (adding insult to injury by giving her her Christmas bonus the next morning in a manner that obviously makes her feel like a prostitute), she confronts him by telling him, "This actually happened." In Season 6 again, he starts cheating on his second wife with a neighbor and outright tell her these words the first time. And obviously it doesn't work in the long run. He tells so to Peggy when she is recovering from her secret childbirth that she'll be surprised "how much it never happened". Again it doesn't quite work as she confesses seasons later that she ha never forget it and eventually finds some solace in telling someone else. |

One-sided version where it's only a confession that happens, in Hayate the Combat Butler, after spending an enjoyable not-a-date with Hayate, Hinagiku confesses that she's in love with him, just as a train goes by not allowing him to hear it. His response is equivalent to "What did you just say?" her response is clearly this trope. | |

The Child of Love: After sleeping with Shinji, Asuka wanted to pretend nothing had happened between them. Since the premise of this story is Asuka going through pregnancy after Shinji got her knocked up, it obviously did not work. One week before leaving for France Kaji and Misato slept together. Misato claims she was drunk and wants to pretend it did not happen. No, it did not work very well either. |

In The Order of the Stick, Haley starts planning denial before the actual kiss. [1] Vaarsuvius sort of pulled this (and revenge, lots of revenge) after Belkar kissed them in a drunken stupor during New Years. It helped that Belkar had no memory of 'The Event.' |

Mulder and Scully of The X-Files are this trope. They never specifically say "that didn't happen", but kisses, confessions, conversations, even an invitro attempt come and go and are never mentioned again. They are the couple that never resolves anything. So frustrating. | |

Happens in Errant Story, after Sarine pounced on Jon (for reasons too complicated to explain here). And unfortunately for Jon, when a 3000-years old magic-wielding Elf decides that something didn't happen, you won't be in any position to disagree. Subverted later, though, because Jon remembers just enough to be able to tell that Sarine erased his memory (but he doesn't exactly know why), pressing her to admit that they've "just" done it. Of course, that's more a subversion of Laser-Guided Amnesia than this trope, but still... |

Almost a constant in Avatar: The Last Airbender, where the status quo is restored instantly after any change between Aang and Katara. This is most notable after he kisses her during the 'Day of Black Sun', only for the event never to be mentioned, and interaction never changing, for a long period of time. The most jarring instance of this trope, however, happens between 'The Ember Island Players' and the show's finale, where Aang finally confronts Katara with his feelings and is seemingly rejected (and doesn't take it too well), only to find him behaving with her in an extremely normal way the following episode, and jumping straight to a Sealed with a Kiss the one after. | |

In The Mighty Boosh, Howard callously did this to Vince Noir after their Fake-Out Make-Out and the subsequent events in "Party". Howard took the kiss more seriously than Vince had intended, and declared himself gay, telling Vince that he has feelings for him. Vince did not reciprocate, however. Later Howard noticed the girl that he had a crush on and quickly got over it, causing Vince to get jealous and berate him. Howard claimed it to be a 'momentary lapse of judgement.', and asks him not to mention it to anyone. Vince wasn't amused, but quickly got over it when he hooks up with another girl. | |

After Shannon and Boone have sex (in flashback) on Lost, Shannon declares that they'll just go back to the way things were before. This is somewhat complicated, considering the two are stepsiblings. | |

Monk: In "Mr. Monk and the Actor," the main plot is about a Tag-Along Actor named David Ruskin (Stanley Tucci), who will be playing Monk in an in-universe TV film adaptation of the episode "Mr. Monk and the Astronaut." When they have spare time, Captain Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher stop by the set to sit in on the rehearsal. To their embarrassment, the events of the episode are shown way differently from the way they actually happened. It doesn't help that among other things, the producers changed Randy's gender, and created a romantic subplot, resulting in: | |

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ends with the Prince trying to kiss Farah - but since he rewound time, she doesn't remember how they worked together and warmed up to each other, so she's indignant and offended. Immediately he hits the button on the Dagger of Time, rewinds to before the kiss, and gives the dagger to her - so no, that didn't happen. Also spoken word-for-word at the Game Over screen. |

In Hetalia: Axis Powers, Japan, after getting a lesson in sex (and being very loud during it, to say the least) from his close friend Greece, furiously tries to write it off as "just a dream" the morning after. Apparently he was too panicked to realize that calling it All Just a Dream just opens the door to a whole host of other implications... | |

Love Hina: Throughout the series, as well as the movies, whenever it seems like Keitaro and Naru have a Relationship Upgrade, Naru will step back and deny, deny, deny that anything's ever happened between the two. Kanako calls her out on this, more than once actually. | |

Subverted on Northern Exposure: It looks like O'Connel and Fleischman are going to get together on a trip out of town, but O'Connel, running on two days without sleep, falls asleep before they can do the deed. It looks like she's going to forget that the "almost did it" never happened, but she wakes up... and thinks they did it. Then Double Subverted when they return and O'Connel says that she wants them to pretend it never happened. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Giles has twice done this: once with Joyce (de-inhibition spell) and once with Anya (amnesia spell convinced them they were engaged). It also happens, less supernaturally, with Cordelia and Wesley in "Graduation Day" — after almost half a season's worth of flirting and romantic tension, the two kiss twice, passionately... and apparently terribly, because they awkwardly and blatantly ignore it afterwards. Likewise when Xander and Willow kiss in "Homecoming". |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi with probably too many to list. The most obvious ones are Asuna's Forceful Kiss with Negi when he was under the influence of The World Tree, and an incident involving Akira and a kissing-obsessed golem created by Haruna. | |

Played with in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Makoto performs several time leaps to make sure that Chiaki asking her out literally does not happen. Nevertheless, her relationship with him is still affected to the point that she might as well not have bothered. | |

Transmetropolitan: Spider Jerusalem & Yelena Rossini get drunk one night. Next morning, Spider wakes up to find himself and her naked in the same bed. Spider contemplates it for a while afterwards and decides to go with the flow, but Yelena goes straight to the trope, and keeps up the charade until the end of series 2 when (in another bout of drunkenness) she loudly confesses to the affair (and to the fact that she wasn't really the niece of Spider's editor) in front of a sizable number of people. The relationship slowly builds again from there. | |

Higher Learning: During a scene where Kaoru is consoling a severely distraught and emotionally devastated Asuka, she kissed him on impulse. She regretted it straight after, got scared and ran away. The next time they met they apologized each other and agreed it was a stupid mistake and it did not happen. | |

Star Trek: Voyager In "Threshold", Chakotay wonders how the hell he's going to explain in the ship's log that a Starfleet officer (Tom Paris) abducted their captain, evolved into a lower lifeform and had babies with her. Captain Janeway however takes the matter in stride, suggesting the sex might have been her idea. Instead it was the producers who decided the episode didn't happen. In "Meld", B'Elanna Torres tries this trope after being affected by pon farr during a Mind Meld and aggressively attempting to seduce Tom Paris. Tom however isn't Data so he insists they do talk about it, as they're going to be stuck together on the same starship for years. This makes the start of their Ship Tease until B'Elanna's Anguished Declaration of Love in "Day of Honor", whereupon it's Tom who gives her the opportunity to say That Didn't Happen, which she refuses to do. |

Tasha says this to Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation after an intoxication virus gets them to demonstrate how "fully functional" he is. Subverted in that Data clearly still holds that memory dear, even after Tasha dies. A line was cut from Tasha's Meaningful Funeral as well. "Data, it did happen." It's clear to see where it was supposed to be in the script, as they kept Geordi's surprised reaction shot. |
