Part 6

"That hound," Sam whispered.

"How does he do it?" Josh smiled.

"That was nice," Ally smiled as Toby backed away. "Really nice."

"I'm a little out of practice on that too," Toby smiled.

"It didn't seem like it," She felt herself blush.

"I should go," Toby whispered.

"No," Josh and Sam whispered.

"Yes," CJ whispered.

"Do you have any idea how much I want you to stay right now?" She said softly.

"Not as much as I want to stay," He smiled. "But I don't know if I should."

"Yeah, it wouldn't be right," She agreed.

"What a loser. She wants him," Josh said.

"Shut up," CJ slapped him.

"So I should go," Toby said, but didn't move.

"What if I asked you to stay?" She smiled.

"I'm not sure," He smiled.

"I never do this. Not after a first date," She said as she moved closer to him. "But, please stay."

"Go Toby. Go Toby," Josh and Sam rooted him on quietly.

"Yes," Toby said simply and kissed her again. Ally took her key out and opened the door. Josh, Sam, and CJ all watched as they walked in.

"Can I just say, Toby is the man," Josh smiled. "Did you see how she looked in that dress? Damn!"

"She did look mighty fine, my friend," Sam agreed. The two men laughed a little but noticed CJ still sitting on the ground with her back up against the wall.

"You okay?" Josh asked. "We can stand up now."

"How could he do this?" She asked herself as she stood.

"I'm thinking he's going to have a day of jubilee tomorrow," Sam smiled.

"You think?" Josh agreed.

"CJ, you should be happy for him. After all, you were the one who told him he couldn't get a date," Sam said.

"I am happy for him," CJ moaned.

"Yeah, you look like it," Josh pointed out. "Are you jealous?"

"Why would you say that?" CJ snapped.

"Because deep down, you're wishing you were in that room with him. Not Allison," Sam said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because it's true," Josh put his arm around her.

"You two are gomers. You know that?" CJ put her head down.

"But we're right gomers, right?" Sam smiled.

"Yeah," CJ mumbled and put her arms around her partners in crime. "I'll buy you two ice cream."

"Oh, goody. I knew this night would end well," Josh smiled.

"Joshua Lyman, where the hell were you last night?" Donna stormed into his office.

"What did I do?" Josh asked while looking up at her.

"You said you were taking an hour break to help CJ with something, and you never came back. I waited, and waited, but you never came back. I could have been out doing other things with my life Josh. But no, I waited here for you. And you never came back."

"It went longer then I expected," Josh defended. "I'm sorry. Don't yell at me."

"What was so important that both you and Sam had to go?"
"I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because its CJ," Josh pointed out.

"Okay, I'll let that slide," Donna understood and walked out. "You have staff in five."

"Thank you," Josh smiled and read some more papers on his desk.

"Good morning Sam," Toby stood in Sam's door way. "How are you?"

"I'm just fine," Sam smiled. He was so happy to know what was going on. He was usually left out of the loop. "And how are you?"

"I'm fabulous," Toby smiled.

"Does your mood have anything to do with your date last night?"

"How did you know about that?"

"Josh told me," Sam smiled.

"Well, yes it does. She's a great woman Sam. You should meet her."

"I've seen her," He smiled. "So, any more dates in the future?"

"I'm thinking so my friend. Tonight we are going to have dinner and see a movie," He smiled.

"When does she have to leave?"

"She has to leave tomorrow," Toby looked down. "But not until the evening."

"Sounds like you two really hit it off," Sam grinned. "We have staff."

"Yes we do," Toby smiled and grabbed his notepad. "Lets go."

"CJ, you look like hell," Carol mentioned as she walked into her office. "What happened?"

"I forgot to sleep last night," CJ fell in her chair.

"Yeah," Carol looked confused. "I do that all the time."

"No you don't."

"I know. I was just trying to make you feel better. You have staff."

"Thanks," CJ took her folder and walked out.

"Okay, everyone sit down. I'm going to make this brief. Sam, I need you to take the meeting with Henderson," Leo started.

"Yeah," Sam said.

"Don't worry Sam. It should be fun," Toby smiled and patted him on the back. "Just go in there with a smile."

"Someone tell me what the hell's wrong with Toby," Leo asked.

"He had a date last night," Josh smiled.

"Okay, I don't want to know," Leo shook his head. "Lets move on."

"Yes, lets move on. We are all lucky to be here, and we should enjoy it as much as we can."

"Toby, shut up," CJ snapped at him, making everyone jump.

"Who the hell did he go out with, a super model?" Leo asked.

"Allison Price," Sam smiled.

"Toby, I told you to give her a tour of the White House. Not a tour of you!"

"Listen, I think we should move on," Sam mentioned.

"You know, I'm not the one who negotiated…" Toby started.

"What a lie," CJ mumbled.

"What?"

"Josh, I want you to finish the stamp thing…" Leo butted in.

"What is your problem?" Toby asked CJ.

"Right now, you are," She glared at him.

"I feel like I'm in one of those old classic comedies where everyone is talking at once," Josh told Sam as CJ and Toby argued and Leo started screaming telling them all to shut up.

"Hey, what is going on here?" Jed barged in. Which caused everyone to jump up.
