Okay, so I just reread this one chapter. I was going to be good and reread the whole story, but I was impatient and wanted to read this chapter.
Because I was driving around today and I passed the place we were going to go to dinner on Prom Night. And 90% of the time, I don't regret not going to prom. But as I drove past it today, I was like "man, prom" and I just had this dream of a great guy who would, in true dorkily sweet fashion, make up a fake prom just so I could get that experience. And then I thought of this story. And I realized that even if it never happened to me, Pam and Jim make it awesome enough.
So I had to reread it again. And, obviously, tell you this story.

Happy thoughts - seeing any teeny bit of Jim stomach!
Haha! I have a few Alanis Morrisette songs... I probably even listened to some recently (I am currently playing all 41 hours of music I own... just whenever i have my computerwith me)
(yowza, major interruption.... first red cross then walk then social time... now back to story.) Alanis Morrisette. Got it, back in the flow.
Hootie! Hootie and the Blowfish went to my college! Go USC! We rock! They came back this past year for like a football game or something. I didn't go. And then one time I almost had free tickets, actually I had free tickets but then the person who gave em to me, wanted them back
me not so much understanding movie references :(
Ants Marching! Such an awesome song. Its another song that reminds me of summer camp!
I don't really wash my hoodies really. Mommy says I should dry clean em or something. But if you wash em with water, they aren't as soft and nice and they don't feel right and they don't have that smell. not that I smell. wow i am saying a lot of things </pam>
I never ever went to a HS game... football, basketball, softball, soccer, anything. I really probably should have. This is so making me want to relieve my childhood. And do it better.
And they weren't in kindergarten, they were probably like in... 4th grade!
Wow, that does sound like an awkward way to walk.
This is so sweet and crazy, recreating all of this. Jim is just too.... I want a Jim!
Author's Response: Hahaha, thanks for the review! I miss all the mid '90s music, it was awesome. The movie reference is Some Kind of Wonderful, which is fantastic, you should watch it! I'm so glad you like the story!

Okay, Some Kind of Wonderful reference? You are my hero. And prom? And backseat sex? God I love this story.
Author's Response: Ha, yes, that's one of my favorite movies ever, but it does slightly creep me out the way he stalks Amanda Jones. I'm so glad you like the story!!

aww... i missed out on lots of things going to a REALLY conservative boarding school... (I'm talking segregated assemblies-guys on one side girls on the other). but that's ok... i didn't have a jim or anything remotely close to one back then or else, probably would have been kicked out! hehe..
Author's Response: I didn't have a Jim either, they're very hard to come by. Thanks for the review!

This story could not be more adorably sweet! You really captured the playfullness of Jam and Jim's great attention to detail. Will there be more chapters? A college year perhaps? The best part was including their parents in the whole thing. Too cute!!!
Author's Response: Thanks so much!

Author's Response: Thank you, JennInTheCity!

See, I was thinking just the opposite: I hated high school and wouldn't go back there ever! Although, if I'd had friends like Jim and Pam, it might have been a different story. :)
Just a terrific chapter again. Bravo to you, and I can't wait to see where this ends up.
Author's Response: Thanks so much for all your nice reviews. I'm glad you enjoy it!

This is a lovely story. I'm enjoying all the little details like the music and the clothing... You made Jim Halpert one awesome boyfriend. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I like putting in all the little details, too, it's quite fun to think back to those years, which happen to coincide with my own in high school. And I think maybe I'm projecting my fantasy boyfriend, since the only gift I've received from Real Life Boyfriend is a flat screen monitor for my computer that crapped out after two months. :-Prnrn

Yay!! I knew it. :-) Nice work, McGigi!!
Author's Response: Thanks, moxie! I meant to publicly thank you in the notes for the idea of Lake Scranton, it was just perfect for the story, so I'll do it when I get to work tomorrow (Safari makes it very difficult for me to do at home, lame). I'm glad you like it!!

This is ENTIRELY too much fun! I am loving it. It is so cute that Jim's even getting the family involved.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm having way too much fun writing, to the point that my work is slightly suffering :-)

Fun! I like the image of Jim and Pam at the football game, getting food at the concession stand. That took me back (although for me, it was further back...)
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm having a ball writing it. :-)
