“Jim brings the jelly beans, I bring the grape soda, and we pray we don’t gain the freshman 15 while we study.”
This line made me giggle way too much. I don’t know if prayer will completely counteract all the delicious sugar, but it’s worth a shot. I love this nod to canon because of course those are their study snacks, because why wouldn’t they be.

Look. I hope Jen is right about that bench. In this case anyway...

I think you’re doing a great job of showing the difference in maturity. Your Pam definitely doesn’t sound as 16 anymore. She seems slightly more grounded and just that bit more mature.

Author's Response: I was laughing myself as I wrote that. So cheesy, right? Thank you for the feedback on Pam's voice!

I think you're doing good with having Pam's voice grow up. Yes a lot of maturing can happen in two years. Nice to see she's finding that side of herself.

I like that she feels ready to be Jim's girlfriend now. His silence on the whole matter does raise a few questions. Maybe he needs some time to process things too. Maybe she'll be the one to make the first move and ask him out on a date. That could be fun and it's also within the scope of canon for Pam to do something like that.

Fun little change with Jim bringing the jelly beans and Pam bringing the Grape Soda. Still their favorite snacks, but just a shift in tone to go with this AU. Nicely done.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad it's coming out nicely!
