Ohkayy....I haven't had any more reviews, I think, so no one to talk to...on with the story!! By the way, I'd like anyone interested to know, that I am a very big Francoise hater, but in this fic she is intelligent and understanding and caring. I didn't do this deliberately but I wanted Jet and Joe to be happy and together with nothing standing in their way, so Francoise had to be nice.
"Francoise, um, Jet and I have something to tell you." The French girl nodded, sensing something important was about to be said now.
Looking around, finding a chair placed (very conveniently) behind her, she sat in it, and looked up at them silently.
"Um, well the thing is, Francoise, Jet and I," The girl interrupted. "Joe, are you trying to tell me you two are finally together? Because if so, then I can only say thank god. It's about time, and we all wish you lots of luck and happiness together."
Joe stared at her, stunned, and barely noticed when Jet took his hand, save to twine their fingers together, almost by instinct, rather than actually acknowledging Jet's hand. Jet grinned. It was up to him to give their thanks for the French girl's support, and to his credit, he did so with a grace that was uncommon for his character.
Francoise nodded again, stood up, and left the love birds to themselves. She loved Joe, but if he was happy with Jet, then there was nothing she could do about it, except be happy for them, and support them if they needed it.
Joe turned to Jet, finally coming out of his stupor. "That was easier than I thought, Jet." The taller Cyborg nodded. "I know. I'd have thought your girlfriend would kick up a fuss, I mean, you haven't even really broken up with her, and now we're together...but she's still fine with it."
Joe hugged him hard. "I don't think I need to break up with her. I...I think she just did it for me."
They both thought about it for a moment, then decided that it was true. "Jet," Joe whispered, and the American lowered his head, and kissed him.
