Disclaimer: see pt 1
Author's Notes: Sorry that last chapter was so short. I'll make it up to you I promise. In the next chapter or the chapter after that I may try to tie this in with the present universe. We'll just wait and see. Is insomnia something that comes with being a writer?
ON WITH THE SHOW!!!
"Diana," Josh questioned.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
"Me and her…" Josh trailed off, not exactly sure of how to phrase this.
"It's totally my fault, Aunt Diana," Donna said as she put back on her uniform top. The two adults had completely forgotten Donna's existence at that point. She fumbled with the lock to get out of the other side of the car. "Completely my fault," she reiterated as she walked back to the stadium.
Diana and Josh followed her with their eyes as she walked back into the stadium. Diana then turned to Josh and said through her clenched teeth, "Joshua, we need to talk." She crawled into the car and shut the door. Merely 3 seconds had passed before she banged her fist against the door and screamed, "Fuck, Josh, how could you do this to me?"
"Hey, don't even think for a second that I didn't see you kissing some old friend of yours out in the stands, all right," Josh yelled back defensively.
Diana tensed up. "Well…" she said, not being able to think of a retort.
Josh continued in a calmer voice, "I saw you making out with him and thought to myself "fuck it" so I walked around the stadium when I bumped into your niece. We started talking and one thing led to another."
"Well at least mine wasn't a crime," Diana said.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"She's 16, Josh."
Josh sat there taken aback. "She told me she was 18!!!!!"
"I knew she'd wind up doing something like that," Diana said.
"Well, you're still not off Scot-free on your little rendezvous with your friend."
"He's my old high school boyfriend. We started talking and one thing led to another."
"So we're even, then," Josh interrupted.
"No no no. It's one thing to make out with one's ex. It's a different thing to almost sleep with your girlfriend's niece."
"You know Diana, I'm not even sure I want to call you my girlfriend anymore."
Diana turned to look at Josh. "And I'm not sure I want to call you my boyfriend anymore," she said coldly.
"So this is it," Josh asked.
"Yeah. I guess so."

After all was said and done, Josh moved back to DC and Diana went back to her home in Seattle. Donna graduated high school 2 years later. Inspired by the near-one-night-stand with her aunt's boyfriend, she decided to major in political science, in hopes that their paths would cross again. But as fate would have it, she met a gomer whom we all know as the evil Dr. Freeride.
Although Josh dated various women in that 8-year period that they had not seen each other, he still never forgot that cute flag girl. He wondered what had become of her. Had she joined a drum corps? Had she gone to college? Had she even patched things up with Diana?

Flash forward: Hew Hampshire 1998. Bartlet campaign office.
Josh sat at his desk as a ball of energy with blonde hair called Donna started answering phones. She had literally walked into the campaign office and hired herself. Josh studied her closely. Yes, he has diffidently seen her before, but from where…
