Title: Just One Name (1?)

Author: Dana

Rating: PG-ish, I suppose

Disclaimer: Don't own them, but a girl can dream!

This fic is profoundly AU and commences shortly after the beginning of season six. The President asks Josh to be his Chief of Staff. What will happen next for our dynamic duo? Read and find out!

P.S. This is my first fic ever; please be gentle!

Feedback: Much appreciated and helpful. Thanks! was going to be all right. That was the most important news to everyone who worked and lived in the White House from the lowliest intern to the imaginary dog that the President had never actually gotten.

While all of the senior staffers felt eternally grateful that the life of their wonderful boss and dear friend had been spared, they simultaneously recognized another important fact: a new chief of staff had to be appointed immediately. It was the elephant in the room that no one wanted to mention for fear of being disrespectful. CJ, Toby, and Josh began a slow retreat out of the hospital waiting room after hours of uncertainty and a grueling day at the White House.

The President began to follow his people out of the waiting room but slightly hesitating, noticeably in deep thought. He drew in a deep breath, slowly put his hands into his suit pockets, smiled, and said in a quiet but composed voice,

"Josh." The Deputy Chief of Staff slowly turned back toward the President without saying anything. "I need you to jump off a cliff….."

To be continued if you like it….

Lots more Josh and Donna, and I will try to bring the funny despite its absence in this short chapter!

Let me know what you think!
