Robin, Justin, and Jimmy came excitedly skipping up to the bar, arms intertwined,  with Paul trailing them but walking. When they reached the bar, Jimmy came and stood right behind me and rested his hands on the back of my chair while Lorne slowly made his movement to Robin to immerse her in a hug.

Jimmy leaned down to my ear and whispered, "Do you know when he's going to do it?"

I turned my head to lean whisper into his ear as he shifted his head as well. "Wait about three seconds." He snapped his head back and immediately wasn't able to contain his excitement. I let out a strong laugh at his expression and we both turned to see what was going to happen next.

Mid-hug, Lorne cheerfully said, "There's my star! You did a fantastic job tonight!"

"Oh my god. Thank you so much." They parted from their hug. Robin began again, "Thank you all so much for making me feel like one of you guys tonight. It was one of the greatest nights of my life and thank you guys for letting me be your one-hit-wonder." Our group chuckled quietly so if Lorne was going to say anything, we would be able to hear it.

"Oh, Robin. You really do know how to work a crowd!"

She blushed slightly and smiled just the slightest bit out of the corner of her mouth. Lorne clapped his hands together and began to walk away. We were all confused why the hell he hadn't done it right then and there but then he quick ducked back in and said to Robin, "Oh yeah, and make sure to rest up tomorrow. I don't want you to be tired when you have to wake up bright and early for work on Monday."

Robin quickly swallowed the drink she had taken and replied, "Oh, I don't have work on Mondays. Its usually just on weekends."

"You don't? Last time I checked, all of my cast members are to report to work at 9 in the morning..." He trailed off for dramatic effect.

Robin looked around, confused, and pointed to herself to say, "I'm... I'm not a cast member though. They are..."

Lorne turned to us and said, "Jess and Jimmy. Last time I checked, we have an empty cast position to fill, correct?"

I was sitting in my chair and Jimmy was leaning up against the bar between Derek and I. At the same time, we both answered him with, "Yes sir!" and raised our drinks to him.

"And if I'm not mistaken, I think the girl right in front of me just came out of no where and completely stepped up to the plate and owned it, did she not?"

We raised our drinks to him again and, surprisingly but not surprisingly said at the same time, "She damn well did!"

"She damn well did? Well, I don't really know much about hiring talented people that will go onto make millions," We all chuckled at the dry and sarcastic remark he had made. "But I think we should probably hire her, don't you think?" Jimmy, Tina, Jeff, Justin, Derek, and I all raised our glasses and said at the same time, "Hell yeah!"

We all looked to Robin who couldn't help but let her jaw hit the floor as she covered her mouth in shock and begin crying immediately. Its a good thing I did her make up because if she used some cheap stuff, that stuff would've already ran out the door. She yanked her hands away from her face and ran to Lorne and engulfed him in the most excited hug. I was she surprised when he actually picked her up slightly and twirled her around a bit. It was just like watching a scene from a movie.

I watched this for a little while longer before I felt a nudge on my arm. I knew it was Jimmy so I turned around and found him staring at me, smiling. "Look at what you did for this girl." He bent down and said right next to my face. "You made her dreams come true. She's never going to forget this night and she's never going to forget you. You made this girls entire life." He said it almost as if he was completely amazed.
