The Mighty Boosh

Another week passed, and Holly Noir was thoroughly confused.

Naboo was brilliant, and she really liked him, but was it love? The more time that passed, the more certain she was that her feelings for Howard were overshadowing her feelings for Naboo.

Howard.

The Howard she had thought about very often recently. The Howard she was having an increasing amount of memories - or something - about.

It was an average Wednesday afternoon when Howard and Holly were manning the shop, whilst Vince had run out to check out Topshop's latest sale - Howard had refused to let both Vince and Holly go, and Holly was now sulking.

Her usual seat on the edge of the counter was empty, and instead, she sat in a big chair by the window, her back to Howard, her arms folded over her chest.

' You're not still in a mood, are you? ' Howard sighed.

She ignored him.

' Oh, come on,' Howard sighed,' you know I can't man the shop on my own - I need you or Vince here. '

She still ignored him.

' Holly! '

She finally turned to face him, and started to giggle,' You're funny when you're mad,' she told him, an impish grin crossing her face.

Howard rolled his eyes, and Holly kept laughing, until her cheeks hurt. Just when she thought she was fine, and she was about to go sort out the store cupboard, she got another one of the weird memories.

She was in the alleyway behind the shop, when Howard came into the alleyway too.

She smiled at him, and he grabbed her hips, backing her against the wall. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her long and hard.

She licked her lips,' Y-you know,' she said,' this whole dominating thing you've got going on really works. '

She shook her head, and told herself she was being stupid. Oh, but Howard was so irresistable in her mind. If these were memories, then she must have had a good time.

That evening, Holly was the first to announce that she was going to bed. She hugged her brother, said goodnight to the others - and for the first time in three weeks, she didn't try to hug or kiss Naboo before going to bed.

She got changed into a pair of pink pajamas and lay in bed. She was laying there a long time. She heard the others go to sleep, she heard Vince come into the room and go to bed. Vince's deep breathing told her that he was asleep quite soon, but still she was staring at the ceiling.

And so she did what she always did when she needed to think.

She tugged a dressing gown on and went up to the attic. Crawling out onto the roof, she sat on the very highest point of the roof and stared up at the moon and the stars, and looked over all of Dalston.

She brought her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them, staring up at the sky.

There was a full moon tonight. It seemed that everytime she came out here, it was a full moon.

For once, the Moon spoke first.

' Ah, my little earth girl,' the Moon grinned,' you 'ave come to see me.'

' Hey,' she grinned,' yeah, it's me.'

' You are thinking about something important? '

' I guess,' she sighed,' just some guy. I don't know ... I don't know what's going on ...'

The Moon grinned,' Ah, yes. That earth man you were with before ... the man with the mustache and the weird brown smoky hair. '

Holly raised her eyebrows, completely confused,' What? '

' Your boyfriend? The earth man who works in the shop, and lives here with you - when you are the moon, you see and know lots of things. '

' Howard? ' Holly asked,' Howard's not my ... '

' Howard! That's the one,' the Moon grinned,' oh .... I have to go ... Venus is calling me - Ha! Jupiter - Venus wants me - I win! '

And then the moon was gone, leaving one very confused Holly.

Why did the Moon think that Howard was Holly's boyfriend? And what was with the memories flash thingies?

She couldnt be any more confused if she tried - had she dated Howard? No - she would have remembered, wouldn't she?

She shook her head, and went back inside the flat.
