~* The Old Flame *~

~*~ Present Day ~*~

As CJ and Josh walk along the many corridors of The White House, Josh

starts to tell her about his not so good day.

"I just cannot believe her!"

"Who?" CJ asks confused.

"Donna! Does she really think that stealing my morning donut is part of

the job description? I am her boss, she is my subordinate."

Curiously CJ asks, "How long has Donna been stealing your donuts?"

"Um, since I hired her," sheepishly he replies. CJ gives Josh her look

saying 'you are so dumb.'

As they reach their offices CJ splits off to go down the hall to the

briefing room while Josh goes over to Donna's desk. "Here is my ultimatum:

you will stop stealing my donuts or... or you are fired."

Donna gives him a disbelieving look, "Really?"

"Yes Really! Don't smile at me like that. I'm being perfectly serious."

"I can tell," Donna replies, "Your 11 o'clock is in your office."

"Its only 10:30. Who am I meeting?"

"Some assistant for Senator Graham. Something Walters."

Josh grabs the donut sitting on Donna's desk and opens the door preparing

to teach the occupant inside to come on time so that the person they are

meeting with has time to prepare. He stops dead.

"Stacy."

~*~ In the Past ~*~

Josh opens his eyes to brilliant sun poring through the bedroom window. At

the side of the on the stand the clock reads 8:30. His bedroom door opens a

crack and a brown eye shines through. Josh closes his eyes pretending to be

asleep and the twin disappears and closes the door. A couple seconds later

Josh gets up to take a shower, change clothes and go outside for his first

full day of vacation. Walking down the shoreline Josh sees two girls and a

guy on a boat near the deeper end of the lake. One of the girls is Stacy.

"Josh! Over Here."

Both the guy and the other girl look up when Stacy calls to Josh. The gut

continues to watch Josh until he reaches the boat.

"Josh, I'm so glad that I saw you. We were going to go out for a ride.

Josh this is Tim Walters and his sister Alex. Tim, is it okay if Josh goes

with us?"

As she finally comes up for air Tim surveys Josh up and down, "Yeah. Come

on aboard."

"Thanks."

"Stacy said she met a new guy. She just didn't say you were so cute,"

Alex says as she surveys Josh in a entirely different manner then her

brother. Stacy glares Alex's way but she is to intent on staring at Josh that

she doesn't notice. Finally Stacy grabs Josh's hand to show him around.

"The boat is actually my father's but since I'm staying with Tim and

Alex's family he said we could use it any time."

As Josh looks at the nice wood finishing and the expensive nick-knacks in

the cabin he says, "Its very nice."

"Thanks. I love it."

"Stacy didn't you want to watch the shore as we're leaving," Tim's voice

calls from above.

"Yeah. I'm coming."

They go out the stairs to the deck and the boat glides on to the open

water, rushing with the breeze. The wind whips into their hair and while Alex

goes into the cabin after a couple of minutes, Stacy looks like she's having

the time of her life. Josh looks at her and smiles at her joy. Tim looks at

them both and frowns. He goes to the other side of the boat to check on

something while Josh puts his hand across Stacy's shoulders. She smiles up at

him and they stay that way for a long time.
