Title: If You Want To Dance With Me

Rating: G
Notes: So it's no secret that I have writer's block... or maybe it's writer's total distraction. :-P To try to help me out, zinke gave me the prompt of "rock n' rolll" to try to get things flowing. Unfortunately, a cold, two trips and general craziness at work got in my way. So before anything else can happen, here we go...




She had already been half in love with the man for months. How could she not be? He displayed political brilliance with an off hand comment, a wicked sense of humor with a quick turn of the phrase, and profound loyalty by taking her back without a word of criticism.

But none of that counted. Not really. Because she was in love with the legend. The larger than life image that he projected every time politics was involved. She had no idea who he was underneath. Not until this very minute.

Because right now he was dancing with as much enthusiasm as John Lennon was pouring into those Chuck Berry lyrics, totally unembarrassed that most of his colleagues were looking at him like he should be wearing a straight jacket.

She was seeing the geek within in all his goofball glory for the very first time. And that was the moment that Donna Moss fell in love with Josh Lyman irrevocably.

Josh dancing to the Beatles... of course she was a goner.

Very sweet. Now find the muse and finish that other stuff, you. ;-)

[quaggy]

Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. :-P

And thanks, Gatz! I had a feeling you would like the Beatles/West Wing crossover. I believe deep down to my soul that Josh is an ardent Beatles fan! :-D

Awesome drabble, Quags!

Hee! That is so Josh!

Never have I been so happy to see a prompt of mine bear fruit! Yay for writing again. Hope to see more from you soon!

[quaggy]

Thank YOU for the prompt! :-D I'm so glad you liked it!

I have a couple of fic open... whether I'll get anything done on either is a different story! :-/

Yay! A Quaggy drabble. What a great way to start off a Monday morning.

totally unembarrassed that most of his colleagues were looking at him like he should be wearing a straight jacket.

Hee. I can see this. He wouldn't care at all that everyone was looking at him oddly. He'd just be having fun. With Donna. And that's the important part. :D

I'm very happy to see that you're writing again.

[quaggy]

Thanks Watz! I'll try to get something longer done... by the end of the year. Maybe. *shifts eyes*

He wouldn't care at all that everyone was looking at him oddly.

Never stopped him before, has it? :-)

Oh yay! This is very sweet. And that would be the 'last straw', for Donna. :-)

[quaggy]

Thanks, Flip!! What can I say? I have a thing for geeks and I think Donna does too! :-D

Oh my God this is so adorable! SO glad your writer's block is dying! How did I miss this two days ago? I love that she fell for his goofball-ness!

[quaggy]

Heh! Well, you found me anyway! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

(And my writer's block may be dying, but it's been putting up one hell of a fight!)

[sillyg.livejournal.com]

Yeah my own writer's block is trying to kill my will. It makes me feel like this icon.

[quaggy]

Heh, I know that feeling. There's a reason that this is MY favorite icon!

Hurray! I have fresh baked pecan pies and chocolate chip cookies (for real homemade, not bought dough baked at home) -- sending you a virtual helping of whichever you prefer as a symbol of my gratitude.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[quaggy]

MMMMMmmmmmmm.... THANK YOU!! First time I've been offered baked goods for my writing! *snags a couple of chocolate chip cookie* I could get used to this!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you too, Liz!!
