There have been a few good days in the office, there was Sexual Harassment day when we got to see the asshole Todd Packer, there was Office Olympic day, which me and Jim both decided that we were bored, so we can up with games and also Pam came up with some game ideas too. Mostly everyone got a gold medal, when Phyllis got her medal, I was so proud so told me she is keeping on her desk forever, which made me laugh, the only reason she is because I made them. then Ryan nearly burnt the building down and we all got to play a game of Jim favourite game, Dessert Island, Jim is now dating Katy, which I am happy for him because Jim deserves to be happy. Today is Halloween and I'm so excited, I walk in the office to see Pam dress as a cat. I sit at my desk and put my bag under my desk, when Jim drags his chair over to me, I look at him and start laughing. "You seriously when with three hole punch Jim" He smiles brightly at me and send me a proud nod. "Hey Phyllis likes my costumes. Glad to see you use the cheerleader outfit again, who knew Michael was great at picking Costumes" "Well for your information I had no idea what to wear, so when I saw this, I just thought zombie cheerleader will do and of course Phyllis like it, who doesn't." "you looks great. I'm glad your cheerleader side is coming out, maybe you can dance for me later?" I shove him in the shoulder and his chair moves back a little, laughing at him. "No dancing for you Mr Halpert but thank you, you look great too." He playfully shoves me and we get to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jim and Y/n sit in the conference together "Dwight is special, but I don't believe his talents are being used in this office." I laugh quietly to myself. "Jim and I, have put his resume on monster.com, google, craigslist." "We are really interested most in jobs that take Dwight out of state. Um preferably Alaska or India." Me and Jim high five each other, while staring into each other eye for a few minutes before the producer clears his throat we looking away from each other and in a different direction.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me and Jim are sitting at Pam desk on her computer, while she is downstairs seeing Roy, we continue to update Dwight resume, Trying best to describe him. We talk about which one of us might get fired but we have no idea, I just hope that it is not me. When Pam comes back, we tell her our plan and if she gets any calls to let us know. While I'm filling in paperwork, Jim taps my on the shoulder and points to pam who is on the phone, She says loudly that she will transfer to Michael Scott and my phone starts ringing, I get up from my seat giving it to Jim, I stand behind him when he sits down, as he reaches over to answer the phone, I catch a glimpse of his right wrist and see that he is still wearing my scrunchy from the basketball game. I look straight at the camera as a blush creeps on my face and look over a Phyllis who is gesture to Jim wrist, which I nod at her and look down to the floor. feeling slightly happy but also a little embarrassed because they camera can see what I was looking at. Jim pretends to be Michael and telling who ever is on the phone that Dwight is a great employee. I'm digging my nails into the chair, trying my hardest not to laugh, Jim places his hand on top of mind while still facing forward on the phone. When Jim finishes his phone call, we both turn round to Pam as she lifts both hands up in the air, we have a three way high five and get back to work.

Me and Jim stand around Pam desk when she tells him that he should go for job. "Don't hate me, but Pam is right, of course, I wouldn't want you to leave, but Jim you are super talented and you deserve something better than this place. Just think of the salary and I could drive down for the weekend or versa verse." He doesn't look to happy about what we have said a walks away, looking a little down from our conversation, I give her a small shrug and a little smile. I pass by Jim office and kiss him on the head as I walk by to make us a tea and coffee. I can feel his eyes lingering on me, when the camera turns to him, he coughs and looks in another direction. I see Jim going into Michael office as he closes the blinds, once the door is shut I head over to the door and press my ear against it. I can hear shouted by can't make out what is being said, I can hear footsteps coming towards the door and quickly run to Jim desk jumping in his seat and facing forward, he walks toward me and learns down to whisper into my ear "Come with me" He places his hand on my lower back when I stand, leading me into the kitchen telling me that Michael wanted his help, I let out a sigh of relief and hug him so tightly, he replicates it back, learning his head into my neck, I can feel him breathe out and the breath on my neck sends shivers to my spine, when we break apart, we laugh lightly to each other and head to the vending machine to get some food.

I get called into Michael's office and I see Jim looking at me with what appears to be angry, he goes to stand up and follow us but I put my hand on his arm telling him, it will be okay. I head into Michael office and it feels like my heart is in my ass. "So Y/n, I think that you are great and you can achieve anything. Have you thought about other offers." "What exactly are you telling me Michael?" "I need to let someone go today and I want to tell you that It won't be you" I'm so confused and angry that I stand up so fast that Michael even pushes his chair back "What's the point of calling me in here then and nearly giving me a heart attack. God what is wrong with you?" I walk towards Michael doors, fling it open. I can feel everyone's eyes on me with concern and fright but I ignore them and head straight to the ladies room to calm myself down. Phyllis and Jim both get up but Phyllis says to Jim that she will go, he looks reluctant at first but than nods at her before going over to Pam to distracted his mind from what has just happened with Y/n, all he can think is that maybe she got fired and that terrifies him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So I heard Devon got fired, I feel bad for him but I am glad it wasn't me. I would love to find a better job, maybe I'll take the Maryland job since Jim doesn't want it but there are people here that I can't leave. You guys know that more than anyone."

"I'm glad it wasn't Y/n, that got fired, I don't think I would be able to work here, if she wasn't here, I think I would literally lose my mind. She said she might take the Maryland Job since I don't want it, I didn't even know she want to leave, why would she want to leave? She wouldn't. would she?" He shift uncomfortably in his chair.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jim knocks on Y/n's door and when she opens it she is immediately attacked into a hug for him. "I'm so glad you wasn't the one to get fired." "I told you it was going to be okay" He goes and sits on the couch, while I grab us two beers. I hand one to him and perch next to him placing my legs on his lap. while he puts his hand on my legs rubbing it up and down. "So I heard you might apply for the Maryland Job, since I don't want it. I didn't know you even wanted to leave" "It was just an idea, don't you want to have a better job and get more money, I was just thinking that maybe I could try and get a better offer or maybe find something else but I'm not going to leave Jim, I know it sounds stupid but I could of like where I am now plus how could I leave you, you would die of boredom without me around. I bring out the fun side to you life. And also I just set up Phyllis and Vance. I need to see how this ends and I know he is great man for her." "That is very true, I need to see if Phyllis and this Vance dude is good for each other, and I'm glad that you not going to apply for Maryland, I would lose my mind, if you was to leave me here all on my own with no fun in the world." We stare at each other for what feel likes ages and It feels like we are both learning in at the same time. There are loads of tiny little knocks at the door that breaks us apart before our faces reach other. "Come on, let's give out sweets to little people." We both stand up and head to the door where little children say trick or treat, we hand out sweets to the little ones and we tell them how great their costumes are, we spend most of the night watching horror movies, while giving out treats to little children, half way through I crack open the karaoke machine and we sings many songs and I do indeed give Jim a dance that he requested this morning even if I can't dance.
