Post subject:  "I collect spores, molds and fungus..."

I was thinking about Egon's infamous line the other day when something hit me...

This kind of fits both in Fanfiction and discussions, so here it is! This is my first, don't hurt me. It may get a sequel if people like it!

(Set after Gozer)

Egon couldn't sleep.

Normally, in such situations, he would go into his lab and tinker with something- anything to get that horrible image of Stay Puft out of his mind- but seeing as the Firehouse had been blown up by that annoying Walter Peck, Egon had no lab.

They were currently staying in Janine's apartment, spread out on the floor of the living room. Peter had promised the angry secretary it would only be for one evening, then they'd get a hotel.

Egon sighed, heading for a kitchen. A mug of hot cocoa might help...

"Can't sleep either?"

Spengler jumped before realizing it was only Janine.

"N-no, I suppose not."

Janine smiled, handing him a mug of hot chocolate. Egon was about to ask how she knew what had had come down for, but she beat him to it.

"Ray was up about an hour and a half ago." Melnitz explained. "He couldn't sleep either."

Egon nodded, sipping his hot drink as Janine busied herself making another. There was a long, comfortable silence, interrupted only once when the secretary asked Egon to pass the milk. When she finished, she turned back around and gazed at the scientist.

"Ya know, I was thinkin'..." Janine murmured, her usually loud voice toned down. "Remember the first day we met? Officially?"

Egon put down his mug, glancing at her curiously. "Yes..."

"When ya came up from under my desk?"

"Uhm..."

"Anyway, I was thinking... You said you collected spores, mild and fungus, Egon." Janine continued, sipping her cocoa thoughtfully. "You were nervous, weren't ya?"

Egon chuckled. "Was I that obvious?" He questioned.

Janine smirked. "You said spores, mold and fungus." She repeated, meeting Egon's gaze. "I'm a plant person, you know that... And though not all of those are necessarily plants, I know one thing... You were always correcting Peter that 'funguses' isn't a word. It's fungi. 'Spores' is plural, 'molds' is plural..."

Egon chuckled. Only Janine would pay that much attention to what he said.

"I suppose that is true." He admitted. "I was a little nervous."

"Yeah!" Janine chuckled. "You just came up from under my desk!"

Egon's face reddened a tinge. "I-I was looking for something..."

"Oh sure." Janine laughed. "You should be getting back to sleep. You guys have a long day tomorrow, and I've gotta make sure Doctor V gives me that raise he promised."

Spengler nodded, standing. Janine followed suit, taking the mugs and placing them in the sink. She lingered at the sink for a moment before whirling back around and pecking Egon on the cheek and rushing back to her bedroom.

Oh, I can't help myself...

Egon's face reddened a tinge. "I-I was looking for something..."

"See something you liked down there, then?" Janine laughed.

:twisted:

Fun and cute little scene. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

*internally freaking out*

Thank you so much, honestly. I'm new, so I was (obsessively) checking this feed for any replies and I'm thrilled!

I love the addition, I actually almost said that, but i figured it would lead into a whole 'bother conversation that I didn't have planned out :shock:

Also, sorry if I directly replied wrong- I'm brand new and confused :lol:
