The obnoxious Verizon ringtone erupted from Pam's pockets, interrupting her concentration on the adventures of Leslie Knope. She glanced at the caller ID which read Michael Scott. "Just what I need" Pam proclaimed to her empty apartment. "Yes Michael", "Pam your a girl right" Michael said exasperatingly. "I hope so, otherwise I've been buying the wrong underwear" Pam said with such sarcasm that you could almost hear her eyes roll. "TMI Pam" Michael said, which reminded Pam why she doesn't tell jokes at work. " Anyways Holly told me she wants a kindle for her birthday", "ok and the issue is"? "THE ISSUE PAM is what am I supposed to get her", "Michael she says she wants a Kindle, so get her a Kindle". "Oh my god Pam, it's like you've never had your period", "Michael what are you talking about"? "Pam when a woman says she wants something it really means she wants the opposite have you ever seen an episode of Boy Meets World". "Michael you shouldn't base your knowledge of woman off of 90's sitcoms", "Pam I want to get her the perfect gift so can you help me or not". After about 15 minutes of counseling Michael on what to get Holly he finally agreed to buy the Kindle.
As much as he annoyed her Pam couldn't help but envy Michael's relationship with Holly. When Holly first arrived Michael asked Pam for advice on how to approach her, after Ryan Stanley and Darryl rejected helping him out, she told him to take it slow, to become her friend first. Being Michael he completely disregarded her advice and asked Holly out the next day. They have been going steady for a couple of months. While her dating life consisted of Kelly setting her up on blind dates so it's not like she hasn't been trying, but none of them have clicked.
As the show cut to commercial break Pam went over to the gathering pile of envelopes on her counter. After sorting through the bills and magazines Pam came across something that was out of place. NBC had sent her the rerun check last week so it puzzled her that they sent another one so quickly. She opened the envelope and what she read caused a great stir of emotions within her.
To Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, Pam Beesley, Ryan Howard

"HEY BABE WANT TO GET A CUP OF COFFEE", Jim screamed over the sound of the Xbox 360 Karen had gotten "him" for Christmas. "Um yeah sure let me just finish this match" Karen said trying not to sound superiorlly irritated at his intrusion of her shooting of 12 year olds . After multiple "one more matches" they finally left their apartment. Jim's eyes were constantly darting to Karen as she sat beside him within the car, his fingers were tapping the steering wheel as if it was a panic button, and sweat was emitting from his pores like lava flowing from an active volcano. The words flowing from his mouth were forced and only existed to keep Karen from questioning his behavior.
They reached the local Starbucks rip-off and Jim walked Karen in as if the car was holding a bomb. "Hey why don't you sit down and relax and I'll go pick up your usual order" it came across more as an order than a question. "Babe you always pay whenever we go out, how about this time its my treat" Karen said sweetly. "Well that's not happening" Jim said in his I am right and you are wrong voice. Jim moved to the back of the line of hipsters. After hearing "you should check out my tumblr" and "did you listen to weezers new album" for the umpteenth time he finally reached the front. "Hello sir i'm Jeremy and I am currently in training so please forgive me for any inconvenience I may cause you today". "Oh im sorry im going to wait until a more experienced employee comes along because I only expect top quality workers from the local coffee shop"; this is what Jim wanted to say but what he actually said was "ok no problem".
Jim brought back their espressos to the table and instead of sitting down kneeled on the layer of dried spilled coffee covering the floor. Karen's life flashed before her eyes because she knew that she was going to begin a new life soon. "Over two years ago I took you here to explain away my embarrassment over being seen with a copy of a movie that will remain nameless, after that we began a relationship that defined my weekends......and then the rest of my week too". "I love that your good at Call of Duty and that you have a weird obsession with christopher Walken, I love that your parents love me, and today I want to know if you would like to spend the rest of your life with me"?
"YES OH MY GOD JIM YES" Karen screamed breaking the pretentious silence of the coffee shop. This was followed by typical celebratory motions including Jim offering to buy the next round of espressos for everyone. That night they decided to catch a movie to celebrate their engagement. They were sitting in their seats when Jim heard a theme song that was very familiar to him.
3 years ago we said goodbye to the employees of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton. But this fall prepare to meet them all again, Michael, Dwight, Jim, Pam, Ryan, and the rest of the gang are coming back to your tv. The Office Reunion Show coming this fall on NBC.
All Jim could think was "Fuck I really should have read what was in those contracts I had to sign"
