I wrote this because there is a criminal lack of Andy and April fanfiction on this site, and on all other fanfiction sites on the internet. This chapter details the events leading up to their first time hooking up :)

April nuzzled closer into Andy; his body was giving off the perfect amount of heat to offset the autumn chill in the air, and even though they had been stuck on a stupid Ferris wheel for hours with stupid Jerry loudly humming some stupid song she didn't care. She was happy. Andy, who she had probably been in love with since the day she gave him pretend hickeys to make Ann jealous finally loved her back. But, she would never actually say anything remotely close to being that mushy, and the fact that she was even thinking that way made her a feel little sick inside. The fact that she felt so strongly about Andy made her feel a little sick inside. Actually, it scared the hell out of her. She had never cared about anyone before, at least not like this. Derek was cool, but there was a reason she was dating a gay guy who was obviously not interested in committing to her. It was because she didn't want anyone to commit to her. Commitment was stupid. Before Andy the idea of waking up every day with the same person right next to her sounded horrible. But now, she was kind of bummed out whenever Andy wasn't around.

"Wait!" Andy suddenly shouted, causing everyone on the ride to flinch.

"Good Lord, what is it?" Ron asked in the disgruntled voice April had grown all-too used to hearing as his assistant, though he normally reserved that tone for obnoxious citizens Pawneeians demanding lenient pool dress codes or wanting to know why abandoned sandwiches they found in the park were lacking mayonnaise.

"Sorry" Andy called out. "That 'wait' was just meant for April."

"What is it?" April asked as she turned to face him.

"I forgot to give you this" he said proudly, reaching behind him and pulling out a pink, stuffed elephant. "They were out of teddy bears so I wanted to win you something weird like a bat or mole or something, but the guy just gave me this."

"When did you do this?" April asked, trying to stifle the grin threatening to spread across her face.

"When you were mad at me" he shrugged. "I was trying to make you un-mad at me, but it was harder than I thought. The guy told me he didn't even have a million prizes."

"Thank you" April said, leaning in to kiss him.

"Get a room" Tom called out in a whiny voice.

"Why don't you and Jerry get a room" April bit back.

Andy openly broke out into a fit of giggles, and reached his hand out to high-five his girlfriend, which she quickly reciprocated.

"Hey" Ron called out. "If I have to break up another fight between any of you I am not going to be happy. I'm already in a terrible mood. It's been two hours since I've eaten any meat."

"Yeah Tom, shut up" April said condescendingly, leaning her head against Andy's shoulder again.

"You're so hot when you're being mean" Andy said happily. "I love you."

"Awesome sauce" April joked as she played with her elephant's big floppy ears.

Andy began to stroke April's long, black hair as they sat there and waited. April's hair was one of his favorite things about the way she looked. He had never dated a black-haired girl before, plenty of blondes, a couple brunettes, even a red head or two, but never a chick with black hair. It was dark, mysterious, and beautiful just like her. Plus her bangs were like insanely cute. "Where are you going to put that?" he asked softly.

"Huh?" she murmured sleepily.

"Are you going to put the elephant in your room when you get home tonight?" he clarified.

"I don't know" she shrugged. She was trying not to show it, but she was pretty freaked out. She hadn't brought it up yet, but she was actually kind of hoping not to go back to her house. She wanted to go back to Andy's place, which was technically Burly's place, but she wasn't sure how to just come out and say it. She had never done this before. She finally took a deep breath before letting the words come out of her mouth "Do you think that-"

"Hey!" Jerry interrupted excitedly.

"Damn it Jerry" April groaned, rolling her eyes.

"I see Lil' Sebastian!"

"You do!?" Andy asked happily, as he looked around. "Where?"

"Out in the cornfield" Jerry said proudly. He had finally done it. He was the one to save the day.

"Well if we weren't stuck on this stupid ride we could go get him, now couldn't we Jerry?" Tom asked, frustrated.

"Come on, that isn't my fault."

"Jerry's fault!" April began to chant once again, joined by Tom who was still irrationally pissed at him, and Andy who honestly didn't care whose fault it was because he was having an alright time, but was hoping to impress April.

"Enough!" Ron yelled, silencing all of them instantly. "When this ride is back in commission, we will split into groups and search the cornfield until we find him. Until then, nobody is allowed to talk to or about Jerry."

"Yes, we'll pull an all-nighter if we have to" Andy said, backing Ron up.

"Great" April said sarcastically. The truth was, she wanted to find Lil' Sebastian as much as everybody else did, she had loved that freaking horse since she was a little girl, but the timing couldn't have been worse for Jerry to have lost him.

Just then, they all felt a jolt as the festival lights around them lit up, and the ride began to move.

"Woo!" Andy called out goofily, raising his hands in the air. "Let's do this!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX

"We did it" Andy laughed, as he ran through the exit cornfield, April on his back. "It took until one in the morning but we finally found the little guy!"

"Technically Ron found him" April corrected as she slid off.

"But he couldn't have done it without our help" he smiled, holding his hand up for a high five. "You did such a great job, babe."

"Whatever" April shrugged. It was totally stupid but it actually felt nice that Andy was proud of her. "I'm just glad Jerry didn't ruin the Harvest festival for everyone."

"Yeah" Andy nodded. "Where is Jerry anyway?"

"Who cares?" April shrugged. "I'm tired and I'm hungry and I have to pee."

"Aw, that sucks" Andy said sympathetically. "Hey, why don't we stop at my place? There's leftover pizza in the fridge and we have a really cool bathroom. We can both crash and come back later to check everything out."

"Your place?" April asked, trying to sound nonchalant. "So we'd like sleep in the same bed?"

"Oh" Andy said panicked. He was trying really hard not push April on the whole sex issue, and now he had just totally put his foot in his mouth. "You could sleep in Burly's room. He's at work."

"That would be weird" April said bluntly in her patented dead-pan tone.

"Right" Andy nodded, searching his mind for another option. "I could sleep in Burly's room, and you could sleep in my room."

"Or we could both sleep in your room" April suggested nervously. "I mean, if you're okay with that."

"What? I'm- yeah, sure. I'm- I'm okay with that" Andy stuttered.

"Okay, cool" April shrugged.

"Yeah" Andy said, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "Cool."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX

"Hey" April said nervously, walking through the doorway to Andy's room. Andy was leaning back in his bed, grinning, mostly because he wasn't sure what else to do. She had rolled her shirt up and tied it with a pony tail in the back so the smallest bit of her pale skin was exposed. Honestly, just looking at her for a few seconds was driving him nuts.

"Can I ask you something?" she asked, staring at her brown shoes.

"Of course" he scoffed. "You can ask me anything, you know that."

"Why were you so weird about me sleeping here?"

"Weird? I wasn't weird. How was I weird?" he babbled, wringing his hands.

"Well you wanted me to sleep in your roommate's bed instead of yours which is kind of weird since you're my boyfriend. Do you not want me here?"

"Hey" Andy said softly, getting up and moving closer to her. "Of course I want you here. I love you. I just didn't want you to feel like I was pushing you into anything."

"I don't" April scoffed. "I want to be with you."

"You do?" Andy asked happily as his face lit up in excitement.

"Yes!"

"And by 'be with me' you mean like in a sex way, right?"

"Yes! It's just-"

"What?" he asked softly. He could tell by the way she was acting that she was freaked out, and he knew it took a lot to freak April Ludgate out. She was normally cool no matter what.

"I don't know I guess I'm scared" she admitted, surprised by the words as they fell out of her mouth.

"Scared of what? Of me?" Andy asked as his eyes widened.

"No" April scoffed. "I just… I've never done this before."

"What do you mean by 'this'?" he asked.

"I'm a virgin" April admitted. The blood instantly rose to her cheeks and she officially felt the dumbest she ever had in her life.

"Oh" Andy gasped. "But I thought… I mean- you had that gay boyfriend."

"We didn't sleep together" April shrugged. "He was gay."

"Right" Andy nodded. "And that guy Orin and you never…"

"Ew" April interrupted. "Orin is a genius, and I love him, but he isn't really my type."

Andy was confused by this. Orin seemed exactly like April's type. He was freaky, and scary, and wore black all the time. "Then what is your type?" he asked.

"You" she said with a rare April smile.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Andy asked, placing a hand on her arm.

"I don't know it's kind of weird and, I didn't want to scare you off. You didn't want to date me in the first place because you thought I was too young…"

"I'm over that" Andy scoffed. "Besides, it isn't weird, okay? Not at all. I actually think it's really sweet."

"Yeah?" she asked shyly.

"Yeah" he nodded. "Kind of makes me wish I was a virgin too. Sorry, I'm not-"

"It's okay" she interrupted.

"But, this is a big deal to me too, April. I mean, I've never felt this way before."

"Not even with Ann?" April asked, rolling her eyes.

"I really cared about Ann, but she didn't get me like you do" he explained. "I liked being with her, but I never really imagine marrying her or anything."

"But you do with me?" April asked.

"Yeah" he shrugged. "Like all the time. It's actually really hot, I see you in like these really high heels wearing an apron like one of those ladies in a 50s sitcom."

"Ew" April said, trying to distract herself from the fact that marrying Andy actually sounded really awesome.

Andy smiled at April before brushing a strand of hair out of her face and leaning down to kiss her.

"I love you" she said as he pulled away.

"Awesome sauce" he said back, wrapping his arms around her and lifting her up into the air "Because I love you too" he whispered in her ear as he carried her to bed.
