Part 2

"Hey Donna," Toby walked up to her and stood by her desk.

"Hey Toby, Josh is in a meeting."

"I know. I came to see you," He said with a smile.

"Why?" Donna asked with a confused look on her face.

"I need someone to go out with me tonight," Toby looked down at his feet.

"Why?" Donna smirked.

"Because people around here seem to believe I'm not romantic."

"Toby, you can't just go to a girl and say you need a date. You have to be romantic about it."

"I wasn't romantic?" Toby whined.

"Not really," Donna smiled.

"So the answer is no?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, I would, but Josh has to stay late. And when he does, he makes me do the same."

"Quit for the night," Toby grinned.

"Toby…" Donna warned.

"I'm going," Toby smiled as he started to walk away.

"What a little flirt," Donna said to herself as she watched him walk away.

"Hello Margaret," Toby smiled.

"Toby."

"How are you?"

"Donna told me you are trying to get a date, but I wouldn't try your tricks on me buddy," She snapped.

"I just asked how you were…"

"My heart has been broken to many times. I'm done with men. I'm done with the whole dating thing. I'm a proud single woman who lives with her cats," Margaret said while typing up something on the computer. Toby stood there for a minute. He was about to say something, but decided against it and walked out.

"Hey," Sam walked up to him. "What is that look for?" Sam asked.

"Well, I just had a conversation with Margaret. Sort of."

"She's a strange one," Sam nodded.

"I'm not really sure what happened."

"I have that feeling all the time when I'm around her."

"Did you want something?"

"Yeah, Leo wants you to meet with a woman this afternoon. I guess she's the daughter of a friend of his and she wanted a tour of the White House."

"I'm not a tour guide," Toby snapped.

"This is what I told Leo, but he said that he wanted a member of the senior staff to do it. Josh is going to be on the hill this afternoon. I'm in the meeting with Barryhill. And CJ has her briefing."

"I'll take the meeting with Barryhill. You do this."

"I mentioned that to Leo too."

"And?"

"He said after my performance a couple of years ago with Mallory's class, he didn't want me doing any more tours. He thinks I don't know what I'm talking about."

"I'm sure she won't care…"

"He said you," Sam pointed out. "Look, it will take twenty minutes. Just show her the Oval and the offices in the West Wing. Then you're done."

"Sam, I seriously don't want to do this," Toby whined.

"I know. Look. She'll be here at noon. I can't remember her name, but you'll find her. I have to go," Sam smiled and walked away.

"This sucks," Toby said to himself.

"Hey Toby," Ginger walked passed him.

"Did Donna talk to you and Bonnie?"

"Yep," Ginger smiled. "I'm kind of seeing someone Toby."

"And Bonnie?"

"She's married Toby."

"Oh," Toby looked shocked. "When did that happen?"

"About ten years ago," Ginger gave him a look.

"I'm going to be in my office," Toby staggered in and shut the door.
