In which there's a bit of a breakdown in communication.

Apologies if the last chapter wasn't really anyone's cup of tea. I wrote it while trying to distract myself from bouts of ridiculous nausea. I feel happier with this one.

There's a small homage to one of Pam's favorite movies in here.

I'm realizing that it might look to some like Pam is a negligent mother because she's not around in this story, or like Jim ignores his other children, but if anyone is thinking that, please remember that each chapter is one day, sometimes just an hour or less, and that each one takes place in a different year. And the story, as the title says, is really all about Jim and Cece. Hope y'all are enjoying it!

Thanks to Hannah_Halpert for helping me figure out the order of some things. Hope you all enjoy this chapter!

This chapter is structured a bit differently, in that it's more narrative than the others thus far. Also, this might be the most number of times I've used the word "despite" in one chapter.

The story in this chapter actually did happen to a friend of mine, many years ago, and I still laugh thinking about it.

Just for the record, trying to remember what was cool at age eleven was not easy. I hope I was quasi-close.

We all have one of these stories, don't we, girls?

Totally not where I thought this chapter was going to go, but it took on a bit of a life of its own.

I want to apologize to my parents for every time I ever behaved as Cece does in this chapter during my teenage years.

Cece is far less bratty here than in the last chapter. Hopefully she's just coming across as a typical teenager and not as a bipolar one.

This chapter has other prominent characters other than just Jim and Cece. I had to take creative license with some aspects of the chapter. Hopefully it doesn't come across ridiculous.

Pop quiz: What '80s sitcom featured an episode about a father's daughter with a similar "affliction" to Cece's here?
I think father-of-teenage-girl-Jim is very much based on my own father, only Jim doesn't have my dad's temper.
One chapter left to go...

And so it ends. Thank you to those who encouraged me through this story. And, I suppose, even though he'll never read this, I should thank my father, who gave me a lot of inspiration for this story, and who, if he ever found out that I spend my time on fan fiction, would reward me with a very hearty "what the fuck is that shit?" God bless him.
