Christmas Party by NobleLandMermaid

Author's Notes:

I think this is officially the first chapter where they're both at home IMing each other. And a side note, in my story, Larissa Halpert is Jim's sister, we'll hear more from her later.

Today we'll find out: Why the little pencil in the teapot makes Pam bitter

pambeesly: Merry Christmas!

jimhalpert: Hey, Merry Christmas

pambeesly: what did you do, did you get anything good?

jimhalpert: um, I went over to my sister's

jimhalpert: got CDs mostly

jimhalpert: you?

pambeesly: went to Roy's parents

pambeesly: they got me some nice art books

jimhalpert: cool

pambeesly: and my parents are driving up for dinner

pambeesly: right now I'm trying to figure out the mp3 player Roy got me

jimhalpert: cool, what kind?

pambeesly: um, a Prism Duo Sport

jimhalpert: uh . . . cool?

pambeesly: yeah, I never heard of it either

pambeesly: knowing Roy, it was probably on clearance at Walmart

pambeesly: I shouldn't say that, it's a nice gift

jimhalpert: probably wish you had taken the ipod, huh?

pambeesly: no, I don't

jimhalpert: you really didn't have to give it up, just for a $20 teapot

pambeesly: Jim, seriously, I don't wish I kept the ipod

pambeesly: they're nice, don't get me wrong

pambeesly: but your gift meant something

pambeesly: all that ipod meant was Michael spent waaay too much money trying to impress Ryan

jimhalpert: all for an oven mitt

pambeesly: I don't really want anything that's a relic of Michael's weird man crush anyway

jimhalpert: Michael's love for Ryan is pure and true, Pam

jimhalpert: there's nothing weird about it

pambeesly: :-D

pambeesly: but I love my teapot

pambeesly: and the little bonus gifts :-)

jimhalpert: good, I'm glad

pambeesly: I maintain that you cheated in that mini-golf tournament

jimhalpert: really? Still haven't let that go huh?

pambeesly: you changed a 3 into an 8 on my card

jimhalpert: you're just embarrassed because no one should ever take more than 6 strokes on any mini-golf hole

pambeesly: I'm not embarrassed, I'm mad

pambeesly: because you cheated! >:-O

jimhalpert: my word against yours, Beesly

pambeesly: yeah yeah, I want a rematch in the spring

jimhalpert: bring it on ;-)

pambeesly: hey, was there a card in the box?

jimhalpert: a card?

pambeesly: yeah, I could have sworn that there was a card

pambeesly: but when I got home it wasn't in there

jimhalpert: nope, no card, just the teapot

pambeesly: okay

pambeesly: I hear my mom downstairs, I should go

pambeesly: Merry Christmas Jim :-)

jimhalpert: Merry Christmas Pam

End Notes:

Once again, thanks for all the feedback. FYI, I played off the some back story revealed about the pencil in this interview. It'll probably be a few days before I update again, see my profile to learn why. Also the next chapter will be "The Injury" since I feel it's important to have Booze Cruise go right into The Secret.
