Just Thinking

George was constantly fighting with himself to keep Luna off of his mind. He had not seen her since they had kissed, and he was going a little crazy. Luna had owled and asked for an extra day off of work, and said she would see him at the meeting that night. So, it was with unexpected anticipation the George walked into the community center and scanned the room for the unique blonde. She was already there sitting towards the back of the room. She turned when George entered, seeming to sense him there. She smiled and waved him over. He grinned and walked towards her, quickly taking a seat next to her. "Hello George." She dreamily smiled at him. "I've had such a good weekend. The quibbler is almost up and running again." She grinned. "How was your weekend?"

"Not bad. Glad to hear the quibbler is almost up and running, tomorrow we can go over the plans that you have for that section of the shop." Luna's eyes lit up.

"I can't believe you are actually letting me do that!" She grinned. "I'm going to speak today, and I want you to pay close attention." She instructed. George looked at Luna curiously and shrugged.

"Of course I will." Luna smiled and nodded turning her attention to the front where someone was taking the podium. It was old grey witch named Hazel who spoke every week. She mainly talked about her daughter who she lost in the war. As soon as she was done speaking Luna stood and made her way to the podium.

"Hello, I'm Luna." Luna grinned and gave a little wave when the gathering greeted her back. "So this last week I was in a session with my therapist, and I was talking to her about relationships, and when it's a good idea to start considering one. I mean each and every one of us is totally messed up, so if we can hardly over-come our own stuff how can we be of value to anyone else. She gave me some advice that I immediately wanted to share with you guys. She said that fighting a solitary battle is futile. So even if it just a close friend that you lean on in hard times, or something more, we can all help each other. We can all help each other. So I decided to act on something that I had been feeling, and it made me feel a lot better, like I could open myself up to someone else, and we could shoulder each other's burdens, maybe life could be easier. So I'm hoping that if even one person sitting here today is debating confiding in a friend, or starting a relationship, that this will give you some encouragement. Things are going to get better, things are going to get easier, and we need to move into the future. All of supporting each other into this new era." Luna sighed, and smiled. "Thank you." There was some intense clapping following Luna back to her seat, and she flounced over to George with a grin.

"Quite the inspiring talk you just gave." She looked over at him.

"I hope you were paying attention. I wasn't being subtle."

"I noticed." George stifled a laugh. There was someone else approaching the podium and George knew it was beyond rude to talk to when someone was telling their story. When the meeting finished up George and Luna stood simultaneously and walked from the community center. "So… did you want to go get some tea, or dinner or something?" He asked. Luna grinned.

"I was thinking that maybe we could go to the pond I want to talk." George nodded and they walked at a leisurely pace to the pond that they often frequented. Luna took a seat in the roots of a tree and George sat across from her, his back to the pond. "Did you agree with what I said at the meeting?" Luna asked.

"Yes. Of course I did." George answered solemnly.

"Well, would you be interested in…you know shouldering burdens with me?" She smiled softly and her cheeks pinked slightly.

"Are you asking if I want to date you? Like be in a relationship? He asked, a smile creeping over his features.

"Yes?" Luna replied, uncertainty evident in her voice.

"Of course I do." He answered. Luna sighed happily and grinned.

"That makes me happy. Thank you." George laughed.

"It makes me happy that you asked, thank you." Luna grinned. She held a hand out to George and he took it. Her eyes were gazing intensely into his. She finally cracked a smile and dropped his hand, indicating with her now free hand that he should come and sit next to her. He rose to his feet, too two steps and dropped down next to Luna. He put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. Eventually the sun started to set, and George stood up offering his hand to Luna, he helped her up and they stood unsure for a moment. "Can I walk you home, or?" Luna nodded. They set off hand in hand for Luna's building. When they got there Luna stood on her toes and gave George a quick kiss.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She grinned and waved before walking into her building. George sighed and set off for home. He was feeling over the moon, when he got home he had a hard time settling in to sleep. When he finally did get to sleep he dreamt of ponds, and long blonde hair.


Luna awoke in the morning with a smile on her face. She was happy to be moving on with life. She was happy that George wanted to date her, and that her father was back to work again and that things were starting to feel semi-normal after years of disruption. So she sprang out of bed and showered, then got ready for work and bounded out of her apartment, happily walking to the joke shop. She entered and greeted Lee who was stationed at the front desk. George soon came down from the flat above the shop and she grinned at him. He looked around a bit before coming over to talk to Luna. "Hey." He grinned.

"Hey." She smiled.

"Did you want to get some dinner with me after work?" He asked.

"Yes." She answered.

"Great." He grinned and walked to the backroom to work. The day passed pretty quickly and Luna soon found herself in a restaurant seated across from George. They were chatting amicably over their food, the feeling of euphoria that Luna woke up with had carried on through the day and Luna couldn't keep a smile off of her face. George walked her home again, and before Luna really knew what had happened she found herself pinned up against her building with George snogging her senseless. Not that she was complaining. She threw herself into the kiss and found herself a little disappointed when George's mouth was no longer attached to hers. He was breathing heavily as he set her back on her feet and brought a hand up to cup her cheek. He kissed her again, a brief kiss before stepping away from her.

"Goodnight George." She laughed.

"Goodnight Luna. I'll see you tomorrow. He grinned walking away before the impulse to kiss her became too strong again.
