Author's Note: This story takes place some time in the summer between season 5 and season 6, but there may be some discrepancies from the canon of the show from that time with this story, but hopefully not. Lately, I've been really wanting to write a story that took almost all the characters from the Office and put them on a vacation some where. For some reason I always enjoyed when shows would do that and it was different than the normal layout of the show. This story will mostly take place with them all on vacation in Hawaii because I thought that the characters could use a vacation and I thought it would be funny if everyone from the Office went. I will try to include mostly all of the characters from the Office, but the main focus will be on Dwight and Angela with little sprinkles of the other characters from the show. The story will also be mostly through Angela's eyes from third person, but for this chaper it will be through mostly Michael's eyes just for the sake of the plot. To refresh anyone's mind, Dwight and Angela are not together in those seasons so this will be a story that will get them together in the end. I just wanted to make this story to have a silly, fun time for the characters to have and to have some fluffy moments for Dwangela. This is meant to be a multi chapter fic, but updates might take awhile and I don't even know if anyone will even read this. There may be some grammar mistakes, but hopefully not because I try to fix them as best as I can. Reviews are welcomed and appreciated and I hope anyone who reads this enjoys!
"David Wallace, what do I owe the pleas-ah?" Michael questions as he listens from the speaker phone and leans back in his chair crossing his arms against his chest.
"Michael! Good news, corporate has lately been very happy with the numbers from your branch," David Wallace starts as a grin spreads across Michael's face, "and it seems that they would like to give your branch a complimentary vacation to Hawaii!" He finishes enthusiastically.
A shocked expression spreads over Michael as he asks, "Wow, really? How is that possible?" Leaning in closer to the phone to hear David more clearly.
"Well, it turns out that we have a little extra money to splurge on and we've decided to use it as prize money for the branch that receives the best numbers by the end of the quarter," David explains in an excited and proud tone, "and the winner is the Scranton branch."
"That sounds great!" Michael states enthusiastically, completley shocked from the news. He peers outside of his window and his hazel eyes bounce over the different employees that work there. People who he thinks of as family. They first land on Pam who is lightly chatting with Jim who sits across from her as she types away on her computer, completing a form for a client. Next, they land on Dwight's scrunched face who is heavily invested in his work as the digits of his fingers glide over each key on his keyboard as he types up information that is pertinent for his job. Then, they lay on Phyllis who is laid back in her chair with a phone pressed to her ear as she speaks to a client on the phone in a gossipy sort of fashion. His eyes sweep over the office to everyone else. Oscar, Jim, Stanley, Angela, and more. They all deserve this, he thinks to himself with a small smile. They all work so hard every day that they truly deserve a vacation far away from the dreary day to day tasks from the office in Scranton for a few days. Well, maybe not Creed or Toby, - defininetly not Toby, anything but him - but obviously everyone else deserves to go. Finally, his eyes land back onto his phone where he is having his conversation with David on. He listens intently to what he has to say.
"The vacation entails that everyone from this branch will be allowed to go and stay three days and four nights at a elaborate resort in Hawaii. We've set up all of the details and will pay for everyone's stay." He explains in detail. "All you guys need to do is pack up for the trip and the bus that will drive you all to the airport will arrive at roughly eleven a.m. tomorrow, so be prepared."
"Wow, this is really great news, David." Michael laughs and scratches his head. "This is quite unexpected."
"Well, you guys deserve it. Just make sure to have a relaxing time and to get refreshed so that you all can keep doing a great job when you guys come back." David says then pauses as voices can be heard on the other line. "Make sure everyone in your office understands what's going on. I've got to go right now, but i'll be sure to call you tomorrow with more details."
"Alright David, thanks for calling." His hand hovers over the disconnect button as he pounds a fist in the air in triumph.
"No problem. Just keep up the great work." And with that David hangs up the call.
Michael can hardly contain his excitement. Almost a whole week off with everyone he works with. He couldn't believe it. He snickers to himself and jumps up out of his chair and runs speedily out of his office, swinging the door open. He stops in front of everyone abruptly before crashing into reception where Erin sits as she gives him an amused, but confused look. He gathers himself by dusting off the jacket of his suit and pulls at the ends of the lapels in nervous excitement. He buzzes with energy, almost as though he is about to explode with the wonderful news.
All heads turn and perk up to him in his erratic commotion and present questionable expressions for this interruption. However, not surprised that they are going to have to stop working because of another one of Michael's crazy antics. One that might last for a while, so they all stop what they were working on and give Michael their full attention, many annoyed but not surprised.
Michael sputters excitedly and says, "Guys, I just got off the phone with corporate and you'll never guess what just happened!" Spit flying from his mouth.
"They fired you?" Stanley questions in a disinterested deep monotone voice.
"No," Michael shakes his head in exasperation, offended that he would even suggest such a thing as crazy as that. "They would never fire me. Why would they? I'm the best at this job." He states as though it were obvious.
Stanley gives him a sassy, but bored look and turns back to his work, uninterested in this discussion.
"Come on guys this is huge!" Michael states enthusiastically, practically squealing with joy.
"What is it Michael?" Pam asks from her desk a couple inches from where he stands. She shares a knowing look with Jim in amusement then returns her attention back to Michael.
"Well, I am glad you asked Pamela," which earns a strange look from Pam, "because I just got off the phone with corporate and they just told me the best news." He explains, flopping up and down.
Now everyone intrigued at what he has to say, asks him what the news is. All speaking at once with different questions, asking what corporate had said to him and becoming slightly annoyed from his stalling.
"Alright, alright I'll tell you." Michael says as he uses hand motions to calm them down. "But first, can I get a drum roll please!" He snaps, then mimes the motion of drumming by moving his hands back and forth in a sporadic movement, holding imaginary drum sticks in his hands as he mimics the toll of a drum with his tongue. Dwight joins in with Michael by making the same drum noise with his tongue and hitting his desk with the palm of his hands to make the beat of a drum.
Everyone waits with impatient looks, while Angela rolls her eyes at Michael's idiocity when he finally bangs on his imaginary cymbal. Spewing out the answer he explodes by saying, "Corporate has so kindly presented us with a free trip to Honolulu, Hawaii!" He announces with exhilaration and a wave of his hands in sporadic movements.
Everyone's faces all give different expressions. Some surprised, some happy, and some doubtful. Everyone talks all at once with different questions. Angela peers over confused at the logistics of the trip and how it would be possible for everyone to go on a trip to Hawaii and what the cost of that would be.
Oscar pipes up near his desk in the accounting area asking, "what do you mean 'free' trip?" Creating quotations with his hands, suspicion written all over his face. Many people in the office such as Angela and Jim shake their head in agreement, not entirely understanding what Michael means.
Michael turns towards Oscar and smiles. "Well, let me explain." Facing back to everyone in the room he explains the situation and what David had told him about the trip from the conversation he had with him earlier over the phone. "...And so now we will all be able to go to an all expense paid vacation to Hawaii at a wonderful resort where we will have the liberty to relax and have fun in." Michael finishes as the words spurt from his mouth and he grins at them wildly.
"How long is the vacation?" Phyllis questions as she leans back in her chair seated at her desk, rocking back and forth slightly.
"That's what she said." Michael coughs and snikers out quickly as Jim and Pam share amusing looks and Angela rolls her eyes at the crude behavior. Michael clears his throat pulling himself together and answers Phyllis' question, "Well, David told me the vacation would be three days and four nights, which to me is a pretty good deal if I say so myself. And I do say so myself!" He jokes with a laugh at his own joke.
Commotion once more spreads over the room as excited words are spoken. Now that they know most of the information they are a lot more on board with the vacation. Smiles are exchanged and plans start to be made on how they would spend their days relaxing in Hawaii under the tropical sun.
"I guess it could be fun," Jim says, "I mean we haven't been on vacation in a while." He concludes and looks to Pam as she nods her head in agreement. "And it might not be so bad to have a vacation with everyone here."
"Wow, this is like totally unexpected. I can't believe corporate, like, has this much money to, like, take us all to Hawaii." Kelly says standing near the door to the break room that leads to the annex. "But, like, Hawaii is the perfect place to get a sun tan. I'm gonna look so hot." She adds confidently, nodding to herself. "This is gonna be amazing." Kelly exclaims as she jumps up and down in girlish excitement.
Angela raises her hand. "Is it mandatory that we all go?" She asks as she crosses her arms over her chest and raises an eyebrow questionably. She couldn't believe it. Hawaii? The land of inappropriate bathing suits that she did not agree with and the sun burning her skin until it turned bright crimson red. She'd rather stay home and play with her cats.
Michael turns towards her. "Yes! We're gonna go as a family and it's mandatory. It'll be fun!" He exclaims crazily. "A relaxing week away from the office. You'll love it!"
Angela raises her eyebrow in suspicion, but finds his answer suitable enough to go. "Fine." Her dark eyes glance over to Dwight as she speaks.
"It does sound really fun Michael." Dwight joins in. "I hear that Hawaii is a great place to scuba dive." He says as he turns his head to look at everyone as he leans back in his chair, puffing out his chest and nodding.
Angela perks up and raises her eyebrow, surprised to see Dwight excited to go. Maybe it could be relaxing to go on vacation with everyone she works with in the office. Especially if a certain salesman will be going. Even if she did dislike most of the people here. She would just have to apply sunscreen every hour and pretend that they weren't there. Her cats would just have to be babysat by her sister or something. Her mind drifts off in thought as she remembers memories of when Dwight and her were together, the way her body longed for him and still does. Snapping out of her daze, she quickly catches herself and scolds her traitorous thoughts. Her cheeks flushing at the inapproprate thoughts. Their relationship is over, she resides. She just had to force herself to get over it. She brings her attention back to the direction where Michael stands.
"What's all the commotion?" Toby asks coming into the ball pen as he opens the door from the break room where he crossed over from his desk in the annex. Everyone's heads turn to his direction.
"Ew, Toby get out of here." Michael says with a disgusted look on his face and waves his arms as though pushing him away. "You'll just ruin the trip."
"Aw, come on Michael." Pam says in a chastising tone. "You said that everyone was allowed to go."
Michael stares at Pam for a beat. Then says, "Alright fine." He looks back to Toby and threatens, "But if I see you at all while I'm relaxing on the beach with a pinacolada in my hand, I'll make sure your on a plane back to Scranton before you even know it."
Toby raises his hands in surrender with a confused look on his face and quickly flees back into the annex. Pam shakes her head at Michael, rolling her eyes.
"Okay!" Michael claps his hands. "We leave in-" He glances at his watch. "-t - minus sixteen hours. Make sure you pack enough lIke your tooth brush, sun screen, hats, " He lists off. "And flowy clothing 'cause it's gonna be hot!" He winks to Pam and the women of the office as a joke, which she and everyone else give a disgruntled look to. "David said he'll call with more information about where we are staying and all that." He finishes with a clap of his hands and a huge grin on his face. "So watch out, cause Scranton's comin' to Hawaii!"
