No-One's P.O.V.

Michael Scott walks into Dunder Mifflin Paper Products, a camera crew following along behind him. Everyone was informed a camera crew would be there so they can do a documentary on a Paper Products and their employees.

Michael smiles at the camera. "I've been at Dunder Mifflin for 12 years. The last four as Regional Manager. If you want to come through here..." He opens the door and walks through it, where two girls are sitting, Melissa Ford and Pam Beesley.

"So, this is my kingdom. As far as the eye can see. This is our receptionist, Pam Pam! Pam-Pam!" He says, doing an impression of Bam-Bam from The Flintstones,banging on the counter of the desk. "Pam Beesley. Pam has been with us forever. Right, Pam?" He asks, glancing, briefly, at the camera then back to the two girls.

"If you think she's cute now, you should have seen her a few years ago!"

Pam's eyes widen at his comment. "What?"

Michael, however, doesn't answer her. Instead, he just looks straight at the camera.

"This is Melissa. Mel. Melly. Melly Belly!" He chuckles, gesturing to Melissa. "Melissa Ford here is my personal assistant. Pam is getting married soon, so Mel here will becoming both assistant and receptionist." Melissa smiles slightly at his words. "She's been my assistant for 4 years and you were the regional manager assistant for...?"  Taking the cue to answer his train of thought, Mel nods and goes to speak, only to have him cut her off before she can. "Don't care. You're my assistant now. So, ladies.any messages?"

"Um...yeah. Just a fax." Pam replies, pulling a piece of paper off the fax machine and handing it to Michael.

"Pam! This is from Corporate. How many times have I told you? There's a special filing cabinet." He says, and looks up at Pam and Melissa.

"You...you haven't told me..." Pam tries to say.

"What filing cabinet?" Melissa asks, looking confused.

"It's called the waste paper basket!" He crumbles the paper up and throws it over their heads. They both look confused and shocked, which just has Michael laughing, and exclaiming, "Look at their faces!" before he walks away from the desk.

Melissa's P.O.V.

I look at Pam and whisper, "I don't think I'll ever get used to him."
