It's been three months, three months of no working or stressing.  Adeline, Blair, and I have been traveling the whole summer since Blair is out of collage now and Adeline doesn't teach over the summer.  We went too the beach obviously and flew too Florida for Disney and Universal, it was one of the best summers of my life.

My phone starts ringing as I'm sitting on my couch walking Teen Wolf.  I look down and see that it's Leslie.  I immediately get excited because I know that we're back, this summer has been great but I've been a little bored lately with school starting up again.

"Leslie!  Hey!"  I say cheerily and she starts laughing.

"Davina!  We're back!"  She says and I let out a sigh of relief, I'm way too excited than I should be too go back too the office.

"Yep!  I'm excited too!  I've got everyone in my car, we're on our way too pick you up now!"  She says and I rush too my room, throwing on some clothes since I've been lounging in my pajamas all day.

"Okay I'm ready whenever!"  I say and return too my couch.

"That's good, because I'm standing at your door right now!"  She says and opens the door.

"Leslie!"  I say and run over too hug her, she hugs me back and starts pulling me too the car.

"Oh yeah and we don't really have that much space so just make yourself comfortable on top of all of them."  She says then hops into the front seat, I awkwardly crawl on top of Tom and Donna, ready too just get this car ride over with.  It took us fifteen minutes too get back too the office and settle in, I run too my desk and pull out my bag of things I keep on the top of my desk.  I've kept it here over the summer so I wouldn't forget anything when I came back.

Five minutes later and everyone is pretty much settled back in, I have all of my pictures set up on my desk, all of my folders are sorted out again and everything else is in place.

"Well I am usually not one for speeches, so goodbye."  Ron says as he backs into his office.

"Breaks over, mofos, okay here's the situation, we are operating on a shoestring budget,"  Leslie says as she takes Gerrys coffee out of his hand and tosses it into the trash can.  The only thing I've gotten out of the speech so far is that she just called us mofos.

"Park services have been slashed, but we are all still here, and we have a job too do."

"Make the worlds biggest pizza!"  Ron cuts in, of course saying something completely irrelevant.

"No, make this town fun, for the people who live here!" 

"Fine, but after that the pizza is our top priority."

"No it's really not."  I say as I spin around in my chair.

"We're getting pizza?"  Ron asks as he walks out of his office.  Everyone just ignores him and goes back too trying too put everything back neatly in the office.

A little while later, Ben and Chris walk in.  They both seem too be in good moods so hopefully they bring good news.

"It is truly great too see all of you, it's great news!  Okay I have too run, Ben."  He says and points too Ben before running out of the room.

"The bad news, which I get too deliver is this, your only work for the time being, will be existing park maintenance, so that just means that were in maintenance mode!"  Ben says as he is passing out papers, he says his last sentence in Michigan excitement.

"Yeah!"  Gerry says.

"Gerry..."  Donna says annoyed.

"Okay, see, I've spent the last few months brainstorming and I have some really great ideas, and I out then in my idea binders, I mean, they're color coded, for Gods sake."  Leslie says and points behind her too about twenty binders.

"Okay actually yeah, there is... There is one thing that you will be doing apparently in Indiana, if you don't provide a basketball league people get very upset, and quite frankly, throw things at you and call you names."  He says and I giggle a little, the summer has changed Ben he now actually has a sense of humor and seems like he is going too be pretty nice too all of us.

"Like turd boy?  I... whatever, the point is I reinstated youth basketball."  He says

"It says here you only have money for two teams?"  I say wondering how that is supposed too work.

"Yeah they're gonna develop a great rivalry."  Ben says and starts laughing, walking out of our office and back too his.

The day goes as it usually would, Daniel visits me for lunch, and brings me bojangles.  We talk about whatever just how out summer where and jobs and things.  I walk him out too the front lobby and hug him goodbye, as I turn back too walk too the office I run into Ben.

"Boyfriend?"  He asks and I chuckle shaking my head.

"Definitely not, my best friends brother, we're just good friends."  I say and he laughs

"Oh nice."  He says and looks down at me

"Yep!"  I say and look away too avoid the awkwardness that I feel coming on.

"Well I'm just gonna..."  I say but he cuts me off.

"Oh yeah, gotta get back too the office." He says and we both laugh off the situation, walking our offices. Of course as I'm walking back in, tom stops me in the doorway, obviously about too make a move on me, for the fifth time today.

"Hey Davina, since we're back at the office, we're gonna be spending more time at the office together again, and hopefully your single." Tom pauses and winks at me then continues. " I was thinking that maybe you'd like too go on a date with me." He said.

"Tom in your dreams."
