How sweet. I especially love sweet Jim
Author's Response: He is wonderful, isn't he? We'll see more of him in the next two chapters. Thank you!

She got the job! Yay! I didn't even notice that part last time. Heh. Love the fake tips!
Poor Michael.
Author's Response:
Heh, that part is new since the last version you got to see. I realized I needed to end it a little stronger.
Glad you liked the fake tips- those were hard to come up with!

I love this storyyyyyyyy
Author's Response: Thank you very, very much! I'm so glad!

aaaaawwwwww!!! thats all I got, you've sweetened me to death.
Author's Response: Oh! I hope you have someone whose job it is to revive you, because I have two more chapters to go! Thank you so very much!

"and she’s dressed up because she knows her boyfriend really likes it." I am just giddy at that sentence -- so the last two paragraphs just about put me in a home.
Author's Response: Does the home have internet access? (Seriously, that made me laugh out loud). Thank you so much. I know I'm getting a little carried away with the fluff, but I love them so much. I want them to be happy!

wow! i heart Fancy New Beesley! the Old Pam never would have said that :) and Jim Halpert is just too perfect. he knew not to say he loved the new look too much... precious! i love this fic. you're doing a great job of showing how they progress, but don't forget what they've come through.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I definitely want to show them (particularly Pam) being more confident. I'm so glad you think it's working! They are so great, I want to do them justice. Thanks so much- two more to go!

I still just can't get over how quickly and easily Pam switched from girlfriend-mode to effing-with-Dwight-mode. Hee! And Dwight's such an easy mark!
The revelation that Pam's got a bad history with sporting events was very nice; quiet and understated but still extremely telling.
Author's Response: Yeah, I can imagine that Roy was the kind of guy to get drunk and yell at officials. Pam has learned to mess with Dwight from the master- she's got skills!

It still gets me how perfectly "I changed for me" sums up everything about Pam.
I love that Jim was just devastated with worry that Pam had decided against the date. And I also laugh that he's seen Bridget Jones. HEE!
Love you, too, babycakes!
Author's Response:
I think that was the DVD he was swapping with Karen for Christmas- regardless, it is funny to me to think that he'd so easily reference a chick flick...but somehow very Jim.
Glad you like! *kiss kiss*

sooooo cute. you must add more!
Author's Response: I will, I will! I have three more chapters planned. Thank you so much!

So nice! Both chapters are lovely.
I adore Dwight's last line. It makes me think about the "surprise" party in e-mail surveillance; Dwight didn't give away the surprise in that one either.
Author's Response:
Thank you! Yeah, Dwight works by a few known principles- if you know the system, you can predict his behavior. Jim and Pam have it down pat. Heh.
Thanks for reading- there's more on the way!

Lis, I adore you. Honestly I do. I can always count on your stories to make me grin like an idiot.
Author's Response: Heh, yeah, I do tend to skew fluffy. Thank you so very, very much- you know I feel the same way about your stuff, and about you!

This fic is so sweet. And this chapter is so nice, I really love the whole balance and contrast of this compared to her last experience at a sporting event.
Great characterzation here too. Well done.
Also I especially appreciate it simply because I'm a girl from Scranton married to a huge Phillies fan.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I was seriously hoping I was right, and people from Scranton would follow the Phillies instead of the Pirates. I hope you enjoy the subsequent chapters as well!

As a huge baseball fan I'm absolutely loving this...you've struck a nice tone with this whole thing so far, it's really a fun read. Can't wait for the game. But I'm rooting for the Braves.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! Unfortunately, I'm moving away from sports in the following chapters into other "new" types of clothes for FNB to try on. I hope you like them anyway!
Date: June 07, 2007 08:34 am Title: I trust you not to leave me
This is very cute, and I appreciate the research very much. I'll be watching for Jim and Pam in the crowd on the tenth on TBS...hehe. Too bad the braves are gonna spank the Phillies...poor Jim, what a sad 'birthday' for him
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I totally did do research, too...I had to figure out how long of a drive it would be for them so I would know what time they should leave, and find the right date and the right team...once I saw the Braves on the schedule, I knew I had to throw a bone to the fic thread! Heh.

So when is Jim's birthday? I am guessing it is in August (at least in this story)... has it been established in the show? Not that it matters.
That is so sweet the little thing about the gym bag :) Its so them. (pointless rambling time). Once, it was for father's day or my dads birthday or something, and me and my brother couldn't think of what to get him, so we both bought things WE wanted. So, I gave my dad a Polly Pocket, and my brother gave him like a Star Wars action figure. So, gifts like that are the best.
Oh, and casually clothed Jim/Pam - so what I love (one of the many types of Jim/Pam I love)
Okay - so now onto the awesome part of the review... honestly the main reason I clicked this so fast
PAM AT A BASEBALL GAME AGAINST THE BRAVES!!!!!!! :D!!!!! Yes, I am grinning like a fool, and I can't stop smiling and laughing because it is just AWESOME AWESOME. Its like a birthday present for me to (even though it is like 3 months early for me)....YAY!!!!! GO BRAVES (yeah, so like, four days ago I didn't even think of myself as a baseball fan... its just so much fun!)
Okay, is it wrong that I actually clapped with happiness at the end? Well, I did. And keep writing!!!! (even if it does move onto post baseball game stuff... I am pretty sure I like the story even without baseball... the baseball was an added bonus. just like the fact I was eating a snickers for the first chapter.
Now I go continue grinning like an idiot.
Author's Response:
I hope it hasn't been established when Jim's birthday is, because I just made this up. And I'm so glad you liked the baseball stuff! I knew I wanted to send them to a baseball game, and when I found a home game against the Braves...well there you go. Lucky I've been lurking in the fic thread....ha. Sadly, I'm moving on from sports for now, but I may have to do a follow-up because the baseball thing seems to have struck a nerve. Thank you so much- I'm glad you liked it!!

She said yes!!! Great start, I am already smiling like a fool! (well, and it doesn't hurt I also have one of those snickers minis I am about to eat... its like, just an added bonus though.. the snickers, not the story. the story is the main good thing)... great, I am already typing like a fool.
Aww, that is so sweet, they do match perfectly :)
Author's Response:
Thank you! I hope the Snickers was good! I love your stream-of-consciousness reviews, anyway, so feel free to keep it up!
Date: June 07, 2007 08:15 am Title: I trust you not to leave me
Aww, BASEBALL!!!! You rock out loud, Lis!
Author's Response: Heh, thanks! I may have to write a follow-up with them at the game...the rest of the chapters are on different outfits that are new for Ms. Beesly. Thank you for rec-ing me, too! Appreciate it!
