OBSERVATIONS ON A DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP
DISCLAIMER: I don't own THE WEST WING and my only form of payment for writing this is the response I, hopefully, will get to posting this story.
Though their break-up�not to mention their relationship�was less than amicable, Josh and Mandy love each other.  I know this to be true.
Sam's POV
Though their break-up�not to mention their relationship�was less than amicable, Josh and Mandy love each other.  I know this to be true.  I was there the night they met.  They immediately started to fight, which I�m pretty sure was foreplay for them, and I lost track of him somewhere along the line and the next morning Josh showed up at headquarters in the same clothes he had worn the night before.  He was, to a degree, happy with Mandy.  Even though she was ambitious and oftentimes grating, and I think there were times when being with her kept Josh sane.

Then Donna showed up.

Now, I love Donna Moss and I don�t think that she meant to come between Josh and Mandy, but I do know that Josh�s young, blonde, perky assistant�who slept on the floor in Josh�s room for the first two months she was with us, and for a week after she came back from the disastrous Dr. Freeride debacle part two�was a sore point for a long time in the story of Josh and Mandy.

We all lost track of Mandy after we won.  I knew she went to Lennox Chase, and I sent her something, a fruit basket, I think, as a little
congratulations and thank you for your help thing, but I don�t make it a habit to keep in touch with my friend�s ex-girlfriend�s, even if I did work with her.  If that kid hadn�t cut that piece in the paper out and given it to Toby none of us would have even known she was working for Lloyd Russell until it was too late for us to take him out of the running.

Leo wanted to send me to talk to Mandy, to find out if Russell was going to run against the President for re-election, but Josh volunteered to go in my place.  Maybe because he wanted to see her again, maybe because he wanted to feel like he was still a part of the team even though his job was literally hanging in the balance, or maybe just because he knew her best and would know her �tells�.  I didn�t question it when he told me that he would be taking the meeting instead of me, though I did make sure that my radar was on high alert because Josh and Mandy had a tendency to explode in one way or another when around each other for too long.
