;DIt was just another day for toby. When his daughter Sasha was younget he enjoyed dressing up for Halloween but now she was older and didn't need him as much
Her mother had remarried and Joe was now the cool one
Pretty much all Toby had was his job and honestly it was better with michael gon
Sometimes he missed their interaction it meant someone was paying attention to him
Kelly and Ryan were sometimes nice to him but they too wete gone
no more dunderball no more endless chatter about celebrity babies
No he wsd all alone and he wss used to it
All of that changed the Halloween he walked in and saw her
There in front of him was a female version of him. Nellie was dressed like him

Who...who are you suppossed to be he stuttered

Nellie smiled. Why I'm you... I'm sexy toby she grinned.

I don't know what to say...no one has ever called me sexy before.

She grabbed him by the tie he was wearing

Let me show you how sexy you are.

Toby didn't know what to do as she took his hand and led him to the warehouse

Ch 2

So Nellie led Toby to the much used loft in the warehouse where so many couples before them had made love. It wasn't all what toby had beem expecting. She was warm and attentive and most importantly she dodnt disapear when it was all over
She asked him things personal things that no one had ever asked him before
she took his hand and held it and told him how sexy hr was
No one had ever called him that before. He didn't know what was happening but he sure liked it.

Do you ever feel alone Toby Nellie asked.

He hesitated. Pretty much every day.

Now you know how I feel. I come to a new country to get away from bad memories and now no one likes me. Its so hard. Sometimes I just wish I could stay in bed all day.

Toby nodded. He knew the feeling all too well. Well I'm here fot you if you ever need a friend.

Nellie smiled. I think we're past friends aren't we?

He blushed. I hope so.


Good but I'm not quite sure I believe you. I think we need yo yry again to be sure


And that was when. Toby knew he was in love.

Toby took flowers in for Nellie the next day and left them on her desk. She was surprised. No one had ever given her flowers before. Suddenly she had a suspicion that she had found a kindred spirit in Toby Flenderson, a person as lost as she was. She was in a strange country with a boss who hated her and coworkers who resented her for taking their friend's place albeit temporarily. She hadn't expected anything when she had dressed like Toby for Holloween, but what had happened between them was no accident. Ever since her boyfriend had broken her heart she tried to forget him but now there was something new in the air, something exciting, something promising. She was just as starved for affection as Toby was and now it was a game of give and take. She had to do something for him for giving those flowers.

She approached Andy. “I have a request that I think we will both find agreeable.”

“You're quitting? Sounds good to me. If I have time I may consider writing you a letter of recommendation,” Andy said sarcastically.

“No I'm not quitting. I would like to be transferred back to the annex. That way we can steer clear of each other and still get our jobs done.”

“Hey I don't have to look at you every second of the day? Consider it done.”

So before Toby knew what was happening Nellie was now his cubicle mate. He smiled at the sight of her,

“Did you,...did you get those flowers I sent for you?” he asked shyly.

“I did and I want to show my appreciation. So here I am. Work buddies?”

He grinned. “Work buddies.”

“With benefits of course,” she teased.

“Oh is that all you want? I mean I've never done that before but I suppose,,,”

“No, silly. I would like to get to know you better. How about dinner at my place, say around seven?”

“I'd like that,” he grinned.


“Until then tell me about this game of dunderball you and Kelly used to play.:”

He tossed a wadded up piece of paper her way. “Your turn.”

So they played for a while, no one the wiser. He missed Kelly but he had a feeling Nellie was going to be a lot more fun.

So at dinner he dressed the best he could, with no real distinction between his work clothes and nice clothes., Nellie didn't care. She wore a revealing outfit and he couldn't stop staring when she arrived.

“You look beautiful,” he managed to say.

“Why you're just a sweet talker aren't you,” she purred.

“No I mean it. You are beautiful.”

Tears filled her eyes. It had been so long since anyone called her beautiful.

She kissed him, catching him by surprise.

“So how about dinner?” Nellie asked.

So over dinner things got quiet. That was, until Nellie asked about Dunder Mifflin.

“I hate it,” Toby admitted.

“So why do you stay?”

“Why do you stay?” He questioned boldly in return,

“Touche. It seems as if we're the two most despised members of the company. Oh well misery loves company, or so they say. Here I am talking like an American,” Nellie laughed.

“I like how you talk. It's...refreshing.”

“Do you always say what's on your mind?” She inquired.

He thought of Michael Scott. “No actually I don't. Believe it or not I'm kind of a shy person,”

“You weren't so shy in the warehouse,” she teased, making him blush.

“I'm sorry,.,”

“What are you sorry for? I'm not sorry it happened. Are you?”

“Well no...”

“Well then there's no need for apologies,” Nellie smiled. “I think you're a very nice person.”

“Now you're making fun of me.”

“Why would I make fun of you? You've been nothing but nice to me. Everyone else hates me.”

“that's not a real loss,” Toby sighed.

“What do you mean?”

“The people there are...interesting. You'll see.”

“I don't know about you but I could use some dessert,” Nellie smiled slyly.

“I have shortcake...”

“That's not what I meant.”

“Oh.” He grinned. “My room's not much...”

“Beats a box in the warehouse doesn't it?”

He laughed nervously. He wasn't used to women being so forward with him. “I guess you're right.”

“Well then lead the way.”

So he did, gladly, every second being more happy that Michael Scott was gone.
