it's been nearly nine years since Josh and Donna met and they still
aren't together. In the first two minutes I saw them they have

Chapter 4
CJ had called Donna for a girl's night out. They were going to go to a nice restaurant and just catch up, something they hadn't really been able to do since…well…for a long time. Donna was meeting up with her in the West Wing and they were to take the night from there. She was waiting outside of CJ's office when Margaret had a favor to ask of her.
"Donna, I have to go to the file room in the basement do you think you could drop this in Cliff's office for me, since you're waiting on CJ and all?"
"Yeah, sure," Donna replied taking the offered folder.
"Thanks so much." Margaret grinned at her.
"No problem." Donna set off for Josh's old office determined not to let a wave of nostalgia rush over her and dampen her mood for the evening.
Walking around the West Wing when most of the staff had gone home was one of Donna's favorite activities and now she found many memories being relived in her mind as she passed through the communications bullpen. She briefly stuck her head into Toby's office even though she knew that he was also in the meeting with the President and would not be around to chat.
Slowly Donna moved her feet and then made her way into her old stomping ground. After walking through the doors she took a deep intake of breath. Everything was the same, but at the same time completely different. She didn't know the names of everyone who worked in that area anymore, and that desk over there wasn't filled with her belongings. Someone else had taken Donna's old spot but she decided to walk over and sit at the desk anyway, just for old time's sake. She began relaxing in the chair when she heard a yell.
"DONNA!" She stood up. Was she dreaming? She pinched herself. Nope, she was awake. "DONNATELLA MOSS GET IN HERE!" That was Josh's voice alright. Donna walked over to the closed door, the folder forgotten about on the desk, and she walked in.
Her powers of speech, thought, movement, and breathing stopped for a second. She was stunned. She was in Cliff's office. But it wasn't his…but it was… She was standing in Josh's DCoS office. The place was set up the way they were, sure, some things were missing, or out of place, but basically things stayed the same. And there was Josh, sitting behind the desk, grinning shyly. He wasn't sure whether she thought this was sweet or that he was a lunatic.
"Oh my God, Josh," she said gasping. "What did you…How did you…Josh?" His smile broke through full force, knowing that she was happy with his decision.
"Well, Donna, I figured since our first kiss was in my first office, this should be in my second office."
"What should be in your second office?"
TBC…
A/N: I think you can all guess what's going to happen. Sorry this is so short again but I've been pressed for time lately and I know that it can be frustrating reading something that isn't updated at least once every other day, if not daily. I hope you're still enjoying it, as always feedback is GREATLY appreciated!
