The Cold Anniversary

[quaggy]

Somebody mentioned that no one had posted and Cold-inspired anniversary fic. This seems a total shame, so I'm going to try to finish a drabble in the next few minutes, but in case I don't make it, I offer a "translation" of the infamous "I feel terrible" scene that I posted on the keytuskids on the first anniversary.  Some of you might even remember it!


JOSH: I'm sorry. Uh ... (he opens his mouth, then closes it) ... about this morning, it was ... (he shakes his head slightly, eyebrows raised) ... inappropriate. Translation: I'm sorry. I shouldn't kiss you because I'm your boss.

DONNA: Don't worry about it. Translation: Trust me, I don't mind.

JOSH: Totally inappropriate. I--I feel terrible.  Translation: Except I really don't.

DONNA: Don't. (she smiles)  Translation: Good

JOSH: Seriously. Translation: Cause I want to do it again.

DONNA: Seriously. (still smiling, she nods) It was bound to happen sometime. I'm going to call the White House, talk about Kazakhstan. Translation: Good. Because I've been wanting this for a while.

(she walks away and all he can do is stare after her, mouth agape)

JOSH: ................... Translation: You mean I could have done this YEARS ago???!!!!

Hee! Thanks Ally! I remembered that I had posted this on Keytus, so I went to look for it so I could save it for my own amusement. I was planning on posting it, but then figured "What the hell?"

I love this. It's *exactly* what was happening under the surface. Thanks for rescuing it from the threads! :-)

Awwww, thanks Flip!!

It was so funny. When that scene aired the first time, it was so controversial... but when I rewatched it, the subtext was so damn loud they might as well have been using bullhorns! :-P
