"Carol." Donna said.
"Hey Donna. Congratulations on the promotion."
"Thanks. Carol, I'd like you to meet Alice. She's going to be Josh's new assistant." Donna introduced them.
"It's nice to meet you. Let me know if you need anything, the Sisterhood always helps each other out."
"It's nice to meet you too."
"Carol, is CJ busy right now?" Donna asked.
"No go right in."
"CJ." Donna knocked on the door and opened it slightly.
"Come in Donna." CJ encouraged.
"Slow news day?" She asked, seeing that CJ had 'Around the World In Eighty Days' open on her desk.
"Only for about ten minutes until Josh decides to do something. Hello Donna's friend." CJ said spotting Alice.
"Sorry. CJ Cregg I'd like you to meet Alice Kennedy, she's going to be Josh's assistant."
"Welcome to the White House. Sit down and we'll impart you with the knowledge of the Sisterhood."

"Claudia Jean." Abbey said as she opened the door to CJ's office. "Have you seen. Oh there you are Donna."
"Mrs Bartlett." Donna said. "Mrs Bartlett, I'd like you to meet Alice Kennedy, she's going to be Josh's new assistant." Alice had stood to her feet as soon as Abbey had entered.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony for me Alice." Abbey shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you. CJ, I hope you've explained to her about the Sisterhood."
"Yes ma'am. We were just discussing Josh and the rest of male White House Staffers non-belief of the power of the Sisterhood." Abbey thought for a second.
"Ladies, I think it's time they dispelled that belief and rewarded the Sisterhood for their hard work."
"Abbey, how exactly do you suggest we do that?" CJ asked.
"We're going to show them how much they need us while we all go out to breakfast on Monday morning."
"Breakfast?" Alice questioned hesitantly.
"Donna, how long would it take you to arrange for breakfast for the whole Sisterhood from say 7 to 10 on Monday morning at a hotel in the greater DC area?"
"Maybe two hours, if I tell them it's a last minute discreet White House function."
"Do it. Then send out a memo to the Sisterhood to inform them of it and not to reveal it to any of their bosses. Tell them it's mandatory by the order of the First Lady."
"Abbey are you sure you want to do that it will effectively shut the building down?" CJ asked.
"Then maybe they'll realise how valuable the women who work here are."
"Yes ma'am. Donna, you can get Carol to help you."
"Mrs Bartlett, ma'am." Alice said nervously. "Monday is supposed to be my first day, I really should be here."
"No, you should be with the Sisterhood Alice."
"Ma'am, do you want me to invite Congresswoman Wyatt as well?" Andi by default of being Toby's wife while they were going through the first campaign had been inducted into the Sisterhood.
"Yes. I'll see if Nancy and Zoey are free too."
"Ma'am, we'll need to get the Secret Service to clear the building without causing a fuss."
"Zack." Abbey called. "I learnt that from Josh and Donna." She winked at CJ.
"Yes ma'am." Agent Zack Connors opened the door.
"Close the door." He followed her instruction. "Zack, I'm going to need you to clear a hotel for a breakfast first thing on Monday morning without the President or any of his staff finding out."
"That shouldn't be a problem ma'am. Can I ask why?"
"We're going out for breakfast." She replied.
"I'll let you know the hotel as soon as I have it arranged." Donna replied.
"Yes ma'am."
"So let's go to breakfast." Abbey said. "Donna are you still planning on taking the weekend off?"
"No ma'am, I have appointments all weekend. I'll head back to my office to arrange this since it is quieter. Alice, if you come with me I'll show you how we get things done around here."
