AUTHOR'S NOTES: Well, this is my reputation of only writing angsty fics straight down the tube...I have a feeling that a lot of fic will come out of my for a while, since it's exam time of the year again, and so the time of the year where I'm very inspired to write fic instead of study for my exams...*g*
Thanks heaps to Kat betaing, and both Bryn and Kat for assuring me that it wasn't really as bad as I thought :) Thanks too go to Alli for coming up with a title! :)
FEEDBACK: is, of course, always loved, and hugged, and read to pieces :) It will also help inspire me to finish the other bit of D/J fluff I'm writing right now...*innocent face*


Janet slipped her hand into Daniel’s and rested her head lightly on his shoulder.

“Mmm...nice,” she said with a smile.

“What, me or the scenery?” Daniel asked, bending his head to kiss the top of her head.

“Both…but you especially,” Janet replied, tilting her head up to capture his lips before he could turn to look at the scenery again.

It wasn’t that she didn’t –like- the scenery, it was absolutely beautiful. A small stream wound its way past them to fall in a cascading ribbon of silver as it hit the edge of the cliff. A gentle, warm breeze ruffled the tree leaves as well as hers and Daniel’s hair, and created small whirlstorms of leaves that danced around them. But the sky…the sky was why they were really there, she guessed. Reds, golds, soft oranges…it was one of the most beautiful sunsets she had ever seen.

“How did you find this place, anyway?” Janet asked as he slipped one of his arms around her waist, pulling her in close for a hug.

“Oh, you know…explored a bit,” he replied lightly, far more interested in her then the scenery and she squirmed lightly to keep him from distracting her with another kiss.

“It’s so beautiful,” she said, leaning a bit over the edge to see the waterfall of the stream, confident in that Daniel would never let her fall.

“Careful,” he murmured in her ear, causing her to shiver even though the breeze was keeping her warm enough for now.

“You’ll always be there to catch me…right?” Janet asked, pulling back from the edge and turning to face him. Her eyes, reflecting the sunset, were unreadable.

“Of course. How could I not be there?” he asked, eyes just as unreadable, but as they watched each other, slowly accepting that they would always be there, no matter what, their eyes cleared, revealing depths of love, understanding, trust.

Completely isolated from all forms of civilisation, this was a peaceful Eden where they could escape from their harsh realities, even if only for a little while. Both knew that eventually they would have to return to reality. Return to their jobs, his of saving the world, hers of saving him and the others who saved the world with him. But looking at them now, it was easy to believe that they would stay there forever, isolated from time, and the horrors that they had to face every day.

And certainly, in their hearts, they would be. Standing together to face whatever stood in their path, defeating unimaginable terrors in their bid to save the world, and in doing so, they would save each other.
