This is set on Halloween last year.
Part 3
Amy Gardner walked into the party. She wore a black unitard with a shocking red wig. She tried to search for Josh, but she couldn't place him. She did see Sam walking her way.
"Run Amy Run." He laughed at his own joke.
"Off to Hogwarts? I wouldn't want to detain you."
"Sure. I'd ask for a ride, but I'm sure He Who Shall Not Be Named already takes enough of your space."
"I'm tired of these silly barbs. Where's J?"
"Around. I think he was looking for Toby. He was also trying to get away from the whole witch extravaganza, which I may add you lose points because you didn't join. Oh yeah, he also wanted to know what you would be wearing. If I see him, I'll let him know you have a Franka Potente fetish."
"I'm dressed as Sydney from Alias!" Amy informed him.
"I like that show, so I prefer thinking of you as Lola." Sam grinned and began walking away. "Enjoy yourself. I'll tell Josh you are here." *****
Josh leaned against a wall and searched the crowd for his mystery woman. He saw all kinds of costumes. Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Clowns, Fairy Princesses, fake doctors and nurses. There was also someone as Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Dr. Doom, Catwoman, and Superman.
Catwoman.
There she was, walking sexily around the crowd. Josh knew this was his chance. He had to go after her. He was getting close. He could feel her beneath his grasp. That was the moment he finally ran into Toby.
"Hey Josh. Heard you were looking for me." He shrugged.
"Argh!" Josh tried to look over Toby's shoulder, but it was too late. She was gone. "I lost her again." He stepped back from Toby and took a good look at him.
"What? Who are you looking for?"
"The future Mrs. Lyman. Who are you supposed to be?" He pointed to the tux Toby wore.
"This? I decided I wasn't going to go through too much trouble for the latest Bartlet event. I'm just a guy in a tux." Toby patted the name tag he wore, which read Guy in a Tux.
"It's very you, Toby."
"I know."
"Where's Andy?"
"She's not feeling well, so she decided to stay home. Now tell me more about this woman, who I assume isn't Amy."
"That obvious huh?" Josh sighed.
"Josh, you need a drink. Let's go." Toby began walking towards the bar, stopped and turned back to Josh. "Hey, what is it with so many people dressing like witches?" *****
"Hear ye. Hear ye, the great and powerful Gandalf is here." The President bellowed. "I always wanted to say that."
"Now my staff must spend a great deal of time spinning this and doing damage control. Thank you sir."
"Any time, Toby." The President winked at him. "So Josh, what's this I hear about you searching for a mystery Catwoman."
"That's pretty much it sir. I saw her, but I haven't been able to make contact."
"What do you know? Josh Lyman chasing after the wrong woman."
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Nothing, Josh, go find your Catwoman. I prefer the witchy ones myself."
"Yeah, I heard the First Lady is dressed as Samantha Stevens."
"Am I needed for this conversation?" Toby asked them.
"You don't want to share with your friends?" The President tried to sound hurt.
"Whatever. Hey Josh, I just saw someone walk by in leather."
"Really?" Josh asked Toby.
"Yes. She went that way." Toby pointed to the right and Josh practically ran that way.
"Was it Catwoman?"
Toby shrugged. "How should I know?" *****
Josh made his way through the crowd. He was losing her and he had to find her. He needed to meet this woman. He walked by goblins and giants, heroes and villains, and finally out of the corner of his eye he saw a woman in what looked like black leather. He straightened himself out and went for the approach. It wasn't her. It was Amy. He kept walking, still looking for his mystery girl.
Suddenly he stopped and turned around. He remembered that he was supposed to be with Amy. And she was flirting with some guy dressed as Frankenstein. Josh shrugged and kept his search for Catwoman. He pursued her closely. He was near catching her. He could feel it.
"Hey Buddy," Sam stepped in front of him.
"Sam move!" Josh tried to side step him, but it was too late. She was once again gone. "I lost her!"
Sam tried to follow Josh's glance, but he didn't need to. He knew everything. Even more than Josh. It had been his plan after all. "Josh, why are you looking towards that direction? Amy is over there." Sam pointed towards her way.
"I wasn't following Amy and you know that."
Sam was about to speak, but Josh stopped him. "And before you say anything else, I know how it looks. Bad. Also, I couldn't come up with the reasons you asked for. I guess I'll go break up with her eventually."
"See, the important thing here isn't the reasons. I already knew that you would tell me this. If you really wanted to be with her you would have never agreed to this. You would have told me to shove it. Plus she's flirting with Frankenstein and you are following Donna."
"Yeah well I guess, it was pretty much obvious that it was over between us." Josh replied not having actually listened to Sam, who snickered.
He knew Josh would catch it soon. "If this were a TV show, all this signs would be called anvils and you'd be worse off than the coyote."
"Huh?"
"You know from the road runner? Never mind. I'm going back to my group." Sam began to walk away when Josh stopped him.
"Did you say I was chasing after Donna?"
"No, actually what I said was following, but it works well too," Sam grinned.
"I wasn't. I've been looking for Catwoman. Donna is Hermione."
"Silly Josh. It's so easy to do a costume change. All she really needed to do was take off the Hogwarts robe and Hermione wig." He left with a big smile. Nothing brought a smile to his face more than a confused Josh. He should really get someone to take a picture of that. The President would love it for Christmas. *****
Josh stood there for what seemed like an eternity, although he knew it was more like five minutes. He had to talk to Sam, Donna, CJ, and Amy. He didn't know where to go first, so he decided to do the one he dreaded the most.
He walked over to Amy and asked her to meet him in the balcony as soon as possible. He didn't wait for an answer. He just walked away.
"Hey J."
He looked up when she finally went over to him.
"Hi." He nodded. "Why are you dressed as a dominatrix?"
"I'm not. I'm supposed to be Sydney from Alias!" She told him.
"Really? I love that show. I didn't know you liked it. You don't look like her."
"Whatever Josh, we watched it together a few times."
"Yeah, but I figured it was because I wanted to."
Amy sighed, "Oh the ego."
"Well, you know me. Amy I want to break up."
"Straight to the point J."
"Are you surprised?"
"Not really. I just thought I would be the one to do it. I assume you'll go chasing after your Donna now. That is if you haven't already. but you wouldn't cheat on me. You aren't the type. Like I said whatever. I'll miss you. See ya around, J." She sighed again and walked away. Josh was surprised about how she took it. He expected more of a reaction. At least something getting broken, but she was almost relieved. And so was he. That was a horrible relationship he had been in. He got up and decided to go look for Donna. *****
