SETTING IN TIMELINE: Milwaukee, pre-Lenny's Crush
SPOILLER/SUMMARY: What appears to be a severe case of the flu leaves Lenny with strange powers, leaving others to question what the true nature of a miracle is.

Lenny stretched out, across Laverne and Shirley's couch. The press had been directed to stay away from Knapp Street, so stay away they did. '

He rested a hand on Jeffery, who proceeded to crawl away from him, and laughed. "Christ." He said, to absolutely no one.

Laughter was the only thing preserving him, at the moment.

Laverne appeared at the foot of the couch, scooping up Jeffery and saying cheerfully, "Hey, your skinny pig's lost."

Lenny smiled, "Yeah, he's kinda into roamin' around. Maybe he's a cowboy or somethin', ya know?"

Laverne smiled, offering the iguana a piece of lettuce; it ripped into it with enthusiasm. "I'm gonna keep him in this box, OK, so we know where he is..." She placed the lizard carefully in an aquarium.

Lenny nodded, as she sat down by his feet. It was painfully obvious that she didn't have a clue as to what to do with him, and he squirmed into a sitting position.

"Vernie," He said quietly, "I wish I wasn't imposin' on you and Shirl..."

"Don't worry, Len," She said softly, patting his knee, "She's asleep, anyway. And, besides, it'll be fine, soon, you'll see." Her eyes climbed the bookshelf, looking for something interesting to distract him with, "Ohh, how about we look at this..."

Lenny grinned, "More Payton Place?"

She laughed, "Nah," She opened it, "It's my old photo album." He squirmed closer to her on the couch, and they both looked at the photos laid out before them.

"Aww.." Lenny smiled, "You were so pretty."

"Thanks, Len," She snorted, noticing his past tense.

He snorted, catching a glimpse of himself, "Lookit me! I looked so weird."

"Looked." Laverne echoed, and he poked her ribs.

"Aww, yer mean." He caught sight of a faded corsage, pressed between the pages, "Hey, it's the one I gave ya for junior prom."

She blushed, "Yeah.."

"You told me you threw it out..." He plucked it from the pages, and instantly, the corsage took on new life. He gently reached over and pinned it to her robe, "Good as new."

She smiled, "You hear music, Len?"

He frowned, "Nope."

"Can you?"

He thought upon that for a moment, then grinned, "ohh...yep, I bet...if I think hard enough.." Sure enough, Fabian began to pipe through the air. He held out his hand, "Care to dance?"

She accepted his hand, felt herself being pressed to his body.

Chances Are, because I wear a silly grin...

"Vernie?" His voice came from behind her ear, along with a gentle nuzzle.

"Mmm?"

"Yer still beautiful."

She met his eyes, astonished by his words...and then by his touch.

Funny, how she hadn't ever felt that draw toward his body. Never, until this very magical moment. The whole world seemed to glow..

Until a lens smashed through the window, it's mechanical insides whirring away.

The media had found them. And they were attacking...
