Firstly, absolute classic Michael expecting that party to be today just because he won't be there for when the party is actually planned for. I loved that little detail, you know them too well. (Also blue Honda Civic? good choice) Good work Jim on getting himself out of the office with his vomming, knowing Angela will pick up on things as safety officer! Pam's little revelation with the French food situation was super cute and came so naturally, when something reminds you of a feeling and you go with it, and the way Jim just didn't really know how to respond so would try to put a little comment to move the subject on. Excellent stuff, pip pip for now.
Author's Response: I do love writing Michael, he's just so much fun! Thank you fo your kind words sir

Michael re-enacting the movie fits him so well. My guess is that he's seen that film so many times he's got it memorized. I mean, why wouldn't he if he's also coming all the way to Punxsutawney. Also loved the back and forth between Michael and Dwight in his office there. You can see how much Dwight wants to please Michael and how annoyed but also flattered Michael is at all of Dwight's attention.
Lots of fun JAM banter too. Look at Jim being the gentleman and making sure to book two rooms. I get the feeling that anything else would have strayed into territory rife with landmines at this point. So good on him.
However we're getting some really interesting revelations from Pam. She's admitting that her life with Roy is just the same old same old. I really find that interesting considering the timing of this story. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but we're past the Booze Cruise so the date of the wedding has been set. Pam seemed really excited and at least had a bit of a flare up of her affection for Roy right around that time. Yet here we are not a few weeks later, and she's back to talking about what she's annoyed with concerning Roy. This is also, in the canon timeline at least, after her and Roy's trip to the Poconos and would also be when everything with the internship went down. I just mention this all because in the show it seems like a fairly critical time for the JAM relationship. The start of the fracture that we saw through S3. However, here, there's a different take. Jim is still being as supportive as he can and Pam seems to have forgotten all her previous zeal for her upcoming wedding. Really looking to see what happens in future chapters.
Author's Response:
That's what I like to think about Michael too! He's seen it and then is convinced he can get stuck too
I was going to go with the one room (oh no it's fanfic there's only 1 room left!) but thought it best for them to have one each!
I do think Pam was initially excited about the wedding, but we know there's always more excitement around the corner with Jim!

Michael wanting to celebrate Kelly’s birthday because he’ll miss it is genius.
"I know, but it's Michael," —-> Man’s got a point.
French isn’t my first language so I’m just gonna assume all the food’s amazing.
"Just, Roy won't share any food. He always says if I want to try what he's eating so badly, I should have ordered it myself." — that only works when your last name’s Tribbiani.
Author's Response:
Just watch the movie already.
But also thank you
