Two Years Later
Michael told us that a film crew is coming to film us here. I don't understand why they would want too, we are not exactly the most exciting people to film but it makes Michael happy so no one say anything about it.
As I'm working on reports on my computer, In the reflection of the screen I see Michael coming towards me with the film crew, "This is one of the sales women here Miss Y/n Y/l/n" I give the film guys a small smile and a wave. "She is what we call the beauty of the office." I laugh awkwardly, playing with my scrunchy on my left wrist, looking down at my feet as Michael walks them into his office.

"Hi, I'm Y/n Y/l/n, Yes I am British, I move to Scranton about 5 years ago. I have been working at Dunder Mifflin Paper company for about 2 years now. I sell paper to different companies who are in need, I make the most sales here. Who do I get along with most in here? That would be Jim, my best friend, I also get along with Phyllis, she has become like a mother to me after telling her that my parents died in a car crash when I was 20, she has help me a lot and I love her for that." Y/n smiles to the camera.
"Who do I get along with most in here? That would have to be Y/N, she is my best friend, I couldn't ask for a better person to be here with then her." Jim has a bright smile on his face. "She does not make the most sales, she is a liar." He laughs at the camera.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am on a sales call, when I hear Dwight singing little drummer boy and messing around with his desk, I look at him to see what he is doing but I have no clue, I turn to Jim, who is looking at the camera with a bored expression on his face, I grab a sticky note and scrunch it up into my hand then throw it at his face, it hits him in the side of the head, he looks over at me and I give him a 'what the fuck look' pointing in the direction of Dwight, he just shrugs his shoulders as we laugh quietly to ourself and I get back to my sale call.
I'm emailing Phyllis because I'm bored, I am trying to set her up with someone from the office but I need to figure out what her type actually is, I have someone in mind but I'm going to wait because I was this to last for her she deserves it. As we are emailing back and forth. I'm walking out of the kitchen with a tea and coffee, I sit Jim's coffee in front of him and sit at the edge of his desk, he looks at me with a smile of gratitude, I look in the direction of Michael's office and see him, pa and Jan in there, I nod my head in the direction of his office while looking at Jim. He looks where I point my head and shrugs his shoulders at me while taking a sip of his coffee, when he put its down I kick the bottom of his office chair and its moves him away from his desk, giving him a fright, when he rolls back to me, he pushes my shoulder and I nearly fall off his desk. When spend the next few minutes playfully pushes each other, I ask if he is still coming over tonight for Chinese and movie night and he nods super fast at me, I laugh at his deminer as I take my tea and head back to my desk to do my work.
By Lunch there is a rumour that we are downsizing, I don't know if it is true but I really need the money so I would like to keep my job. Me and Jim sit by the vending machine talking about it, while playing a game of thumb wars, when I win he walks off annoyed and I finish my lunch before heading to reception to talk to Pam. As I'm writing up my reports, I look over at Michael, who is doing his impression of Moe from the three stooges to a guy, who introduces him self as Ryan the Temp guy, Michael then decides to make Ryan laugh by doing his Hitler impression. I look over to the camera giving them a bored look.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do I like Michael as a boss? I mean the days are never boring. What Would I do if I was let go? I have no idea, probably become a cat lady or something, defiantly become homeless that's for sure." I laugh as I look at my feet, Playing with the scrunchy on my wrist. The camera pans out to Jim sitting next to me, giving you a crazy look. " She doesn't even like cats, she is a dog person. Oh, I know you could open a dog hotel and play with them all day!" I look at him and playfully slap his shoulder and we laugh together at his stupid idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm spinning in my chair with my head back against it when a pencil hit me in the chest, I look over at the culprit, he smiles at me and points down to show me his army row of sharpened pencils between his and Dwight's desk, I laugh so hard that I nearly fall of my chair, Jim raises his finger to his lips. I shake my head at him and give him a thumbs up as Dwight comes over from the kitchen. When he sees what Jim has done he tells him he can't do that because he might fall and pierce an organ, me and Jim look at each other and cross our fingers together at the exact same time smiling at each other. Dwight then procced to use his phone to smash the pencil making them fall to the floor, Jim turns to take the camera while I bite my lip trying really hard not letting my laughter take over.
In the conference room, Michael is talking about the downsizing of this branch or another one. He promises us that he won't let it happen and that they will have to go through him first, I make eye contact with Jim across the room, pulling my index finger and middle finger in my mouth, then pull my thumb in and letting my body go limp. Jim uses his fingers to stop himself from laughing. At the corner of my eye, I see Phyllis doing the same, I smile brightly at her and she does the same back. An hour later at our desk, Michael comes over with Ryan to introduces him to Dwight. I send Jim an email to tell him I have a surprise for him, he looks over at me confused. The next thing I hear is Dwight say Damn it Y/N.
"Hold on, Hold on, Judge in session, what's the matter here." Michael says. "She put my stuff in Jell-o again." While pulling out a plate of Jell-o with his stapler in it. I hear Jim and Pam laughing but cover it with a cough. "That's real professional thanks, this is the second time and it wasn't funny the first time either, Y/n." I keep a blank face and shrug my shoulders. "What is it?" Michael ask Dwight. "That's my stapler." Dwight goes and shoves his hand into the Jell-O. "No, No. Don't take it out, you have to eat it out of there because there is starving people in the world." "You know what? You can be my witness, can you please reprimand her please?" "How do you know it was me?" I ask while eating a cup of Red Jell-O, out the corner of my eye, I see Jim really trying not to burst out laughing. "It's always you, are you going to discipline her or not?" "Here's the thing about a joke, you have to know when to start and when to stop and Y/n, now is the time to stop putting Dwight's personal effects into Jell-O" The camera pans to me as I pull the spoon from my mouth and cough and say okay. Next to me Jim says "Dwight, she is sorry, it's because she is your biggest flan." I let out a snort and Michael starts laughing with me. Ryan pipes up with 'you should put her in custody' we all laugh apart from Dwight. Me and Jim air high- five each other.
I turn my chair to see Jim asking Pam to go for drinks tonight, my smile drops when I hear this just as Roy comes in, he is Pam's Fiancé, I look over to see the camera on my face, I let my eyes drop to the floor as I turn back around to face my computer and get back to work. Jim sit at the end of desk and pokes my shoulder, I turn to face him to see what he wants, he wants to know if we are still on for tonight, I shrug my shoulders at him and turn back around, he gives the camera a confused look as he walks back to his desk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Am I in love with Jim?" I laugh and laugh as my face goes bright red. I look down to the floor, It goes awkward for a few seconds, when I look back up the producer behind the camera raises his eyebrow at me. I cross my arms over my chest and let a sigh taking a deep breathe. "558 days, 16 hours and 50 minutes. But I think he wants someone else, who is not me." I stand up abruptly with tears in my eyes, removing the mic from my chest and heading out the conference room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm packing up my bag to go home, when I look over to see Jim and Pam talking about walking out together, I let a quiet sigh as I fling my bag over my shoulder, I hear a beep from a car horn assuming it was Roy turns out it was as Pam leaves Jim to head home, he walks over to me takes my hand and drags me to his desk where he bends down and brings out an item from underneath it. it covered over by a tea towel, I follow him into Michael office, I give him a confused look while he put the item down onto Michael desk. He makes eye contact with me and smiles as he lifts up the towel covering the item. I burst out laughing when I see what it is. He copied me by putting Michael's World's best boss mug into a plate of Jell-o, I'm laughing so hard I have to hold my stomach.
