A/N: Hey all! I'm back with "Acrophobia." I posted the first two chapters of this on FanFiction a while back, but at that time I was feeling that it just wasn't done yet, so I took a break to work on it. Now it's officially done and you guys can read it! Hooray!
I don't own anything.
So, last but not least, enjoy this small first chapter of "Acrophobia."

Acrophobia, Chapter 1
At lunch they shared a medium pizza with ham and pineapple. She said that the food was really good at Cugino's and he smiled and said that he'd have to take her word for it. When the waiter brought their meal, he grabbed a piece and took a bite and thought that, yes, it was one of the best he'd ever eaten.
The conversation was a flurry of "so, how did you get this job?" and "how long have you lived in Scranton?" At first it seemed like simple small talk between new co-workers, but as the meal progressed they dove into deeper and more interesting subjects, such as Dwight and office pranks.
It wasn't until she said the word fiancée that he stopped smiling.
"What?"
Her hand lifted and she said, "I'm engaged."
His face fell for a second, the edges of his lips turning down and his eyes stuck on the diamond ring. But then he regained some composure, and as a half-hearted smile played across his features he said, "Oh, that's great. Who is he?"
Roy Anderson: big, surly, a borderline alcoholic and a Dunder Mifflin warehouse worker.
She told him stories of her engagement and her soon-to-be husband. He nodded and slowly ate another slice of pizza, thinking that, strange, it had no taste anymore.
And right then, in his mind, he saw a mountain.
In his mind, he started to climb.

A/N: Yes, it's short, but I needed to include this scene just to get things rolling.
I'll update with the next chapter soon. Thanks and please review!
