Hey everyone! I know that there are not any fan fictions about Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones (that I've seen at least) so I wanted to write my own! this is how I imagine they'd fall in love. Just wanted to say as a disclaimer that English is not my primary language so they may be a couple of mistakes. If so, I'm very sorry I'm trying my best lol thank you
Chapter 1. The moment Rashida knew.
It was the last day of filming Parks and Rec for Rashida and Rob Lowe. They were both extremely emotional, as was the rest of the cast. But Rashida was feeling something different that she couldn't wrap her head around.
Looking around, seeing her friends with whom she had been working with for the past six years and knowing that she would not see them every day anymore was heartbreaking, but she knew that she had to go.
But seeing Amy that day was the worst part. They were best friends, they lived in walking distance from each other and they were like family. But leaving Parks and Rec felt like she was betraying her. She knew Amy supported her and was happy that she was going to write Toy Story 4, but every time she looked her in the eyes she saw sadness and she realized she couldn't stand being the person that was making Amy sad.
"And that is a wrap on Rashida Jones!" Mike Schur yelled, and everyone clapped and walked towards her to give her a hug. She was trying not to cry because she wanted to give a speech but realized there was no way of hiding her emotions the moment it was Amy's turn to hug her. They were both crying, and Rashida realized that she may have some unresolved feelings towards her best friend.
Twenty minutes had passed when she left the set to go to her dressing room and collect the last of her stuff. She asked Amy to go with her and help her since it was quite cluttered. She, of course, agreed.
"I didn't think it was going to be this emotional saying goodbye to you guys but fuck this is hard" Amy said while putting a couple of Rashida's stuff in a box
"Yeah, tell me about it. Maybe I should just stay and tell Pixar I quit" she laughed but it felt like a fake laugh se really just wanted to curl in her bed and cry. "If these walls could talk we'd be in A LOT of trouble" this time her giggle was real.
"Oh… yeah. The best conversations for sure were the ones we had in here. We are lucky we are neighbors otherwise this would be unbearable" Amy held her hand and looked at her deep in the eyes "Don't tell the rest but you are my best friend and the best thing that came out of working on Parks"
"The feeling is mutual" Rashida said but the way their fingers just stayed intertwined for a bit longer than usual and their gaze was intense and her heart was beating faster than normal… it felt both new and exciting and she couldn't wrap her head around it.
A couple of seconds had passed, and they were still staring at each other with soft smiles on their faces when a knock on the dressing room door interrupted them. It was Aubrey, they told her to come in.
Rashida was trying hard to pay attention to the conversation her friends were having but she couldn't stop thinking. Maybe she liked Amy? That did not seem possible. She had never been into women like that.
These feelings would probably go away over time. There was no need to do anything about it.
