Author's Note: Okay here goes this is my very first fanfic posted on the

Internet so please be kind but definitely send comments. Also this is before

the MMM (Mandy Memo Mess). As you will tell Josh and CJ are my favorite

characters and I am very much in favor of CJ/Danny.

"A Moment Between Friends in the White House"

"CJ, what's going on with that thing?" says Josh Lyman, opening the door to

CJ's office without knocking. Danny Concannon, who was sitting on the couch

(closely) next to CJ Cregg, jumps up quickly and says, "I'll see you later,

CJ, bye Josh."

Josh waits until Danny leaves and closes the door before saying, "I'm really

sorry about that CJ. I just needed..."

"Don't worry about it Josh, here's the memo about the thing," says CJ and

goes back to sit behind her desk." Was there something else you needed?"

"So how is it going with Danny?" says the very nosy Josh.

"How's what going?"

"You and Danny? Aren't you two going out?"

Exasperatedly CJ says, "Going out? What are we in high school?"

"Well its just that you two are spending a lot of time with each other," Josh

said.

"So?'" CJ said defensively.

"Nothing. God, I'm just being a friend asking another friend about their

life," says Josh just as defensively. Josh moves to open the door when CJ

says, "Josh, wait, I'm sorry that I snapped at you like that it's just that

Toby was bugging me about my, I guess, relationship with Danny earlier so I'm

just..."

"Defensive?" says Josh.

"Afraid."

After a couple of seconds Josh says," Why would you be afraid? Reporters have

dated Press Secretaries before.

"Yes but this is the White House. I've just gotten my reputation back after

the Indian-Pakistan conflict and both of us have our jobs to worry about,"

said CJ after a beat.

"CJ, you know that whatever happens I will back you 100%. And at least you're

not dating a prostitute, right," Josh says trying to lighten up the

conversation.

CJ sends him the death glare, "Thanks for your support, Josh, I appreciate

it."

"Hey what are friends for? And you never answered my question," Josh says.

"What question?"

"You and Danny? Are you dating?"

"Yeah," says CJ sheepishly.

"Cool," Josh replies as CJ says, "We have work to do, Josh, and that thing

tomorrow."

"Bye CJ"

"Go Away Josh"

The End
