Very very cute, their "voices" are great and I loved that last line.
Please, m'am, some more?
Author's Response: Thanks jazzfan, I'm glad you like the way I write their dialogue. More on the way in a day or two :)

Callisto this is PHENOMENAL! God, I love your writing! You write their voices so well! I love Alice, too!
Author's Response: Thank you VB! I really have other things I should be doing, but I just can't seem to help myself. Little bits of dialogue just come to me and demand to be written down. Glad you liked it! :)

Your knack for their dialog kills me. It's more than banter; it's got layers. I love this. And I love that Jim's soda explosion trumps Pam's almost-peeing accident when he refers to this rest area. That's nicely done.
Author's Response: Thanks lis! Most of my ideas for them start with snippets of dialogue and expand from there, so I'm glad it rings true. And I'm glad you liked my idea that it started with a problem of Pam's but became memorable for what happened to Jim. Thanks for the review! :)

I'd like to help Jim get cleaned up. Woops. I am saying a lot of things...
Callisto this is perfect, and now THIS will forever be the "soda explosion at Exit 17" story.
And...more? Soon? Please? Thanks :)
Author's Response: Oh kells, wouldn't we all like to help Jim get cleaned up. Uh...yeah, moving on... thanks!! Glad you liked it. I wanted to do this the moment I saw him make the reference in the IM. Next chapter in the works...stupid school getting in the way of my fanfic life...

So dang adorable, callisto, even though it brings me back to a few uncomfortable road trips of my own :) Love Charming!Jim (he is a salesman after all), and Jealous!Pam. Their interactions throughout the story were spot on.
Author's Response: Hi Nan! Yeah, who hasn't found themselves in that situation? I know I have. And I love when the show tosses out little details to give our imaginations somewhere to have fun. Thanks for reading :)

Why is "Let's See How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20 running through my brain?
It's been a long trip for all of us; let's enjoy the ride, shall we?
Author's Response: :D A long strange trip indeed, lisahoo! I love so much about what the premiere chose to be. The episode that launched a thousand fanfics...

How cute are you, telling us the backstory of the exploding soda? I love it. Can't wait for the next chapter? I'm dying to know if you think Jim planned to propose from the moment they made lunch plans or if it was all purely a spontaneous gesture.
Author's Response: Hey EH, thanks for the kind words. I wanted to do this the second I saw him typing out 'that soda exploded on me'--just seemed like a fun story to tell. I have my ideas about what he was thinking...should have it ready in a couple of days. Thanks for the review! :)

Wonderful, and I completely agree that you must follow this up! :) I wonder if they toss those throwaway lines out just to give fanfic authors hooks to write about...
Author's Response: I don't know, but I got the idea as soon as I saw him typing it--one of those "aha! a story to tell!" moments. I'm just surprised nobody else did it first. Glad you liked it. :)

I was so hoping that someone would do the backstory of that IM and I'm so glad it was you! Fabulous piece :) Can't wait to read the next part ;)
Author's Response: Thanks JITC! I'm surprised nobody else has gotten to it yet. I'm glad you liked it... should have the next part up in a couple days. You know how I always have to do things from both of their perspectives ;)
