Another West Wing drabble

Yet another drabble for tww100.

Title: Questions Remain
Author: Quaggy 
Challenge # 170: Mystery
Word Count: 100
Notes: I recently wrote a Transition post-ep which featured Sam's reaction to Josh and Dona being together.  It made me think about the reactions of everyone else we cared about. 



Charlie wanted to know how this had happened without his knowledge or assistance.  He’d been waiting for years to return the favor and now he’d never get the chance.

CJ was still wondering what exactly that odd moment was and how it had progressed to this.

Toby, in spite of himself, was baffled as to why this had taken almost a decade.

President Bartlet claimed the key question was why now instead of three years ago or two years in the future.

Josh and Donna both thought the real mystery was why anyone was interested in their relationship at all.

Oh, that's great. The last line is perfect---I think that's exactly how they'd both react. (They'd both think that they'd kept it so under-the-radar that no one else would know, or care. Aren't they cute.) I don't know about the 'caring', but the knowing is certainly there.

you know, the more I think about it, this is what we're all really missing--not so much others' reactions to the relationship, as much as J/D's reaction to their reactions. Because they were so hopelessly clueless. So cute.

Thanks, Flip! I'm glad you liked it!

That's true... but I think the biggest thing we all missed was just seeing the relationship out in the open. We watch Josh and Donna finally get together but it happened in a vacuum really. It was something private just between the two of them. I mean, you can make assumptions about everyone's reaction based on the conversations with Will, CJ and Matt. (You can't tell me that the conversation in Transition wasn't Matt's pathetic attempt at matchmaking!) But still, it would have been nice to see some aknowledgement.
