"You're done early," Hershel commented as Maggie sat on the sofa next to him, leaning over to kiss her cheek as he spoke. She was usually getting up to start her chores at this time, not finishing them.

"Glenn's pickin' me up at 12," she explained, reaching to tie her hair up as she leaned back on the cushions. "We're all going to the park in the city today. I thought I told you?"

"You probably did," Hershel said with a sigh, patting her leg gently.

They sat there together in silence for a while, before Maggie got up. "I'm gonna get something to eat, you need anything?" she asked, walking around between the back of the couch and doorway to the dining room. He shook his head, but smiled as she kissed the top of his head in turn, before practically bouncing off to the kitchen.

It made him happier than he could explain to see her so happy.


Maggie was going through her drawers in her room, desperately trying to find something to wear. She wanted to look cute, but didn't want to wear something that she'd prefer not get dirty or damaged.

She finally settled on a pair of jeans and a green tank top, and went to take a shower and get ready. On the way to the bathroom, she picked her phone up to make sure no one had texted or called her. Turned out she did have one - from Glenn. She turned the shower on, before sitting on the corner of the tub as she read the message -

TO: me
FROM: the boy
'mom wants me to bring katie with. says shes being a pain. fine by you?'

TO: the boy
FROM: me
'of course! u know i love her'

She pressed send on the text, setting her phone on the counter and getting in the shower.

When she got back out after the quick shower, she dried off, wrapped her towel around herself, and reached into the drawer to grab the hair dryer. She plugged it in and dried her hair, which only took 10 minutes or so because of her more medium hair length. When she was done with that, she quickly put on minimal make-up (trying to cover up spots and such more than anything), before grabbing her phone and going back to her room.

She got dressed and sat back on her bed, checking her messages as she waited for Glenn to come by. She had two texts. One from Glenn, and one from Tara.

TO: me
FROM: the boy
'cool. mom and dog will be excited. see you in a bit xx'

TO: me
FROM: rugmuncher
'im on the way and im picking rosita up. shane said he's on the way with rick and lori. hurry your ass up!'

Maggie grinned as she read both texts, before jumping up when she heard the doorbell ring. As fast as she could, Maggie got up, shoved her phone in her bag, and put her shoes on. She could hear Glenn in the main room, talking to Hershel, Annette, and Beth.

She practically stumbled down the stairs as she finally came down, causing Glenn to laugh as he saw her.

With a quick goodbye to her family, the two stepped out onto the front porch. "You look good," Glenn said quietly (even though there was no one to overhear) as they walked to the car, Katie poking her head out of the backseat window.

"Oh, please," Maggie laughed as she popped open the passenger side door and got in, Glenn following suit on the other side. "This is so basic, it can't exactly look good."

"You always look good, Mags," he said with a shrug, though he was grinning as he reached over to squeeze her thigh once he'd buckled his seatbelt.

Maggie just blushed, though she ducked her head and busied herself with buckling her own seatbelt in hopes he wouldn't. He noticed, of course, and it made him smile even more.


When they got to the park, Glenn cut the car engine off and hurried out of the car to open Maggie's door for her as she went to get out.

"Such a gentleman," she teased as she got out and he closed the door behind her. She turned to step to the back door and let Katie out, when Glenn's hand grabbed her wrist and turned her back to face him, as well as lean her closer to the car again.

"I meant it when I said you look good," he said quietly, before bumping his lips against hers softly. What started as a sweet, soft, and somewhat playful kiss, turned considerably harder and more passionate after a minute (and a quick glance to make sure no one was around).

Maggie was sliding her hand under his shirt up his side in a somewhat awkward fashion, his hands resting on her hips, when they broke off with a start at the sound of Tara's voice.

"Get a room!" she shouted as she and Rosita got out of her dad's old truck.


Andrea and Michonne were off together, talking and swinging on the twin swing set in the playground. Daryl, Rick, and Shane had gone off into the woods for something (they claimed it was something Rick and Shane had hidden there as kids, though Glenn had decided they were going off to 'compare sizes'. (That was quickly debunked, however, when Lori went along with them. Or maybe not.)

That left Rosita, Tara, Maggie, and Glenn back at the spot they'd all claimed under a tree. Tara and Rosita at the table, Maggie and Glenn lying together on the ground, and Katie flopped on her side between them.

"You two are gonna make me sick." Tara declared, making fake retching noises as she looked down at Maggie and Glenn again.

Maggie was on her back, one leg stretched out and the other bent with her foot against the ground, with Katie's long leash looped around that ankle. Glenn was next to her on his side, playing with her hair lightly.

They'd all been in conversation together, though Maggie had fallen quiet for the sake of just listening with eyes closed and enjoying Glenn's touch.

"Be nice," Rosita scolded, though her tone was completely playful and teasing.

"Bite me," Tara shot back, pretending to glare at Rosita.

"I think you want her to bite you," Glenn added, resulting in a sharp kick in the leg from Tara.

"Shut up!" she groaned, causing Katie's ears to perk up, before she relaxed again. There was definitely something between Rosita and Tara. It was pretty clear to everyone that they liked each other. But everyone was polite enough to ignore it. Well, everyone besides Glenn.

"Hey, you did the same to me with Maggie. It's only fair," Glenn insisted, as Maggie just smiled.


"It's nice out today," Maggie commented as they walked along the path, Katie's leash in one hand, and Glenn's hand in the other. "Not too hot or sunny, just feeling nice."

Glenn just nodded in agreement, staying quiet as they walked. His silence caused Maggie to look up, frowning the smallest bit. "You good?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah, I'm just..." He trailed off, before shaking his head and squeezing her hand gently.

Maggie looked back at him, biting on her lip as she looked back at him. She could tell something was up, but decided not to push it too much right now.


"I'm starving," Tara announced, rolling onto her back. She'd been on the ground playing with Katie for the past while, while everyone else was just sitting about talking together.

"I'm kinda hungry too," Andrea said, as she looked up from where she and Lori were watching cat videos on her phone.

"There's a pizza shop up the street," Rick said, "We could walk up there."

And that's what they did.


"You like pineapple pizza?" Maggie asked, looking at Shane incredulously.

"Yeah, I do. So what?" Shane shot back, as Rick just laughed. "It's fucking disgusting, man," he said, just shaking his head.

"Who else just wants cheese?" Maggie asked, as Tara, Michonne, and Rick raised their hands.

"You're all so boring!" Glenn said, rolling his eyes. He and Rosita were splitting a meat-lovers pizza, insisting that it was 'the absolute best'.

They'd had to sit outside because of Katie, but the inside area was so full that they probably would've gone outside anyway.

When the waiter came out, they ordered their pizzas (cheese for Maggie, Tara, Michonne, and Rick, meat lovers for Glenn and Rosita, pepperoni for Lori and Andrea, plus some extra for Katie, and a slice with pineapple just for Shane amid much derision), and went back to their conversations.

"Look at this," Maggie said quietly to Glenn, as everyone else went about their business. She handed him a flyer that was sitting on the table, as he continued to move his thumb across the back of her hand that was resting against his thigh.

He read it over quickly, before nodding. "You trying to say I need a job?" he teased, squeezing her hand playfully.

"You're the one that said you needed one!" Maggie said, bumping her shoulder against his.

"I'm just kidding," he assured, before nodding. "I'll definitely call them."


"Mom I-... Okay. I'll be home soon. Bye," Glenn said, before hanging up on the phone. "Damnit," he groaned, looking over to Maggie. "My mom and dad want me home in, like, the next forty minutes. Something with my sisters or somethi-"

"Sounds like you just want to get away from us. I get it, you hate us," Tara complained, as Glenn just sighed, shoving her in the side playfully.

"Anyway, as I was saying before I was oh so rudely interrupted," he said, turning his attention back to Maggie.

"I can take you home now, or if you want to stay out more I'm sure someone else would take you."

At the prompt, Lori nodded. "I can definitely give you a ride on my way home," she assured her.

"Nah, it's fine. I can go now," Maggie said, as Glenn nodded and stood up.

"Well, I guess we must say farewell," Glenn said, as Maggie unlooped Katie's leash from the picnic table's legs and stood up, wrapping it around her hand again.

After everyone said good-bye to each other, Maggie, Glenn, and Katie set off towards the car.


"If you want to come over this weekend, Eloise and Emma are in town, and I'm sure they'd love to see you," Glenn said, referring to his elder twin sisters, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on Maggie's knee as they drove up the long dirt road towards the farm.

"I'd love to see them, and your parents, and the dog," she said, grinning as he squeezed her knee. "Oh, yeah. It'd be cool to see you too," she teased.

"Very funny, Greene." he laughed quietly, turning on the driveway of the house. "If it's cool with your dad, you could stay the night. Almost make a trip out of it?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Sounds fun, I'd love to. Just have to check with Daddy," Maggie said with a shrug, seeing as she was pretty sure he'd be fine with it. Hershel was pretty oblivious to anything she and Glenn got up to - bless his heart - and saw them as being pretty much completely innocent.

As he pulled to the end of the driveway, and parked in front of house, he sighed.

"I'd walk you up, but my parents are really gonna be mad if I'm not home soon, and-" he started, though Maggie quickly squeezed his hand.

"It's okay, Glenn. Promise," she laughed, unbuckling her seatbelt, before moving a bit to press a gentle kiss against his lips.

"I love you," Maggie said as she pulled away, reaching back to pat a sleepy Katie on the head, as she popped the passenger door open and got out.

"Love you too," Glenn grinned, waving back to her as she waved, walking back up to the house.


"Glenn, stop it!" Maggie giggled, rolling onto her back again. It was well past midnight, and Maggie was laying on her bed, talking to Glenn on the phone. He'd been helping her with some left-over science homework so she could stay over that weekend (at Hershel's request, she'd promised to finish her homework before going over), but she'd finished that hours ago, and were just talking now.

"What? You are totally hot!" his tinny voice insisted from the other side of the call. He'd been spending the past ten minutes insisting to Maggie that she was hot, though she just insisted that she's just awkward.

"You're delusional. I'm just awkward," she said, for what felt like the fiftieth time instead of the fifth.

"Whatever you say, but just know you're definitely hot to me. Hot, and pretty, and beautiful, and-"

"Glenn, stop, please," Maggie laughed, running her hand over her face sleepily. "It's, like, almost one. We should probably both sleep."

"I'd rather talk to you than sleep, Mags," he whined, though she definitely heard him yawn.

"Yeah, I would too. But I have to get up and do a lot of chores tomorrow. Beth did mine today so I could go out, and she'll have to do mine again this weekend. So I definitely owe her," she said, and Glenn could feel for her on that.

"Fine, you go sleep. I'll sleep too, maybe," Glenn replied, sighing dramatically.

"You're such a dork," she laughed, reaching down between her bed and bedside table to find her charger cable.

"You are too," he said, though he quickly added "hot and dorky," before she could say anything.

"Night, Glenn. Love you." Maggie said, a laugh in her voice as she spoke.

"Love you too. Sleep well, Mags," Glenn replied, before they both hung up, both looking forward to their weekend together as they drifted off.
