Jim Halpert and Melissa Ford have been best friends since he started at Dunder Mifflin in 1999. Now that a camera crew is following the employees around so they can film a documentary, do they finally tell each other their feelings? Or do they just...
It's May 5th, and Pam is out getting a few more things ready for her wedding. So today I'm the only receptionist at the office. I watch as everyone trickles in one by one. Jim, of course, stops and talks to me for a few minutes before going over to his desk. Dwight was not the first one here today. Angela was the first one here, which is really odd.
When Dwight does get to the office, he walks straight into Michael's office to have a talk with him. Once Dwight comes out, he sits at his desk and looks around. He keeps glancing up at the water cooler. I notice Oscar and Toby keep standing over there talking. Jim stands up and walks over to get some water.

He looks extra handsome today. Dwight stares over there until the guys go back to their seats. I watch him stand up and walk over to the water cooler. What the hell is he doing? He picks it up and brings it to his desk and sets it next to his desk, plugging it in. I roll my eyes and start copying the papers that Oscar has me copy for him.
As I hand Oscar back his papers, Michael walks over.
"Melissa, can you bring the calendar to my office please? I have something I need you to help me with." Michael smiles.
"Umm..Sure."
"Great! Find out whose birthday is next for me, please? Then come to my office."
I grab the calendar book I keep next to my computer. I quickly glance through it before I get up and follow Michael toward his office. Jim gives me a confused look as I walk back. I just shrug and close the door behind me. I sit down in the chair he has. He looks at the camera.
"Get set for Operation Morale Improvement starring Michael Scott. Now, I think I have had a little stroke of genius in that I have had my assistant Melissa...Smile Mel" I smile slightly at the camera. "I have had her go out and find out whose birthday is coming up, so we can have a little celebration for it. Not bad, not bad at all. Alright. And the birthday person is... drum roll please. Here we go, who is the birthday person?" I pause for a second. "Who is it? Who's the birthday person?"
"There umm...There actually aren't any staff birthdays coming up." I say, glancing at the camera again.
"Next person on the calendar then?" Michael says.
"Oh that's Meredith-" I begin to say.
"Yes! Alright, come on down, Meredith!" Michael says, happily.
"It's not till next month, Michael." I say, finishing my sentence from earlier.
"Oh..umm. Okay, well great, well you know, it'll be a surprise!" Michael says, after thinking.
"You want to have a party? For someone whose birthday isn't coming up until next month?" I clarify.
He nods. "Yeah. Why not? Sure. Go ahead, live a little! Come on, Mel."
