ha, this is great! i don't live in the US, so i honestly didn't know what black friday was until about 2 weeks ago (there was a reference to it in another story) so this is like my guide! lol.

great chapter! i love the direction you've taken with this story. well done! can't wait for more!

Author's Response: That's so great to hear (read?), I_Still_Believe, because this is a little darker than anything I've done.  It's not the usual Jim-Pam angst and there are so many other writers who have done that far better than I could.  Besides, I'm still recovering from the angst of S2 Jim and S3 Pam!  And then the damned strike cut my recovery short! I'm off work until next Wednesday, so I hope to have at least one more chapter up by then.  Thank you for the review!

squee! i was so excited to see a new chapter. i'm absolutely loving this story! cannot wait for more!!

Author's Response: Oh my God, with the squeeing!  That's enough to keep me housebound and writing in my ratty old sweats, bed head, and mean-teacher glasses.  Today's agenda:  shower, brush teeth, start chapter 7.  I_Still_Believe, thanks so much for reading and reviewing!

oh! i just bombed an exam but then i got home and saw a new chapter!! thank you!! hahaha. this chapter was fantastic! and i got way too excited about the buffalo reference! i don't live in buffalo, but i live in niagara falls which is only 15 minutes down the road! perhaps jim and pam could take a side trip?? lol, just kidding!! ok, i'll stop rambling! i love this story!

Author's Response: Wow, ISB, you're in the Falls?  I spent many happy (and crazy) times up there, too!  I moved away from the area 22 years ago, but I have so many great memories, it's been fun to include some of them in this story.  I hope the rest of your exams go better!  Thank you for the sweet comments.

This chapter was amazing! And I can't help but laugh. I live like a block away from Niagara Falls, and the fireworks started going off the second I finished this! Anywho, this chapter fanastic! Your description of Jim standing in front of the window was incredible. It inspired me and i'm not even an artist! hehe. I think your imagry was so good that you don't even need links. I could pisture it all so well! I also have to say that I'm a little sad that this story will be ending. I know, all good things must come to an end. This entire story has been brilliant, I am very excited to see how it ends, as well as read any new stories you may post in the future! -Spencer

Author's Response:

Are you kidding me, Spencer?  (Tuna)  You know, I originally had no intention of taking them to the Falls, but someone's review of a previous chapter (was that you?  I think it might have been!) put that thought in my head, and why not send them there?  The Falls lit up at night...so romantic!  Thank you so much for mentioning the Jim at the window image.  That nearly broke me.  I certainly didn't want it to be just about Jim's fine form, although I think that might be enough for ME.  :-)  I wanted it to be about Pam seeing something beautiful and inspiring, about her getting her artistic eye (and groove) back.  I'm so glad you liked that.  And thank you for saying you didn't need links to picture this!!  Wow.  I was so far into my own head and I lost myself in that world a bit and I didn't want to be wandering there alone!!!!  Thank you so much for such an awesome review!

Oh, Sweatpea, this ending was incredible! I loved this line:

It's like a mosaic we're making together, Jim and I. I'm thinking how, if you stand too close sometimes, you focus on all the little pieces...some pieces are fine like polished glass, and some are ragged and worn, some weathered and tear-stained. But if you step back, you can see them all coming together to form images and scenes that tell the story of us.

It's such a beautiful analogy of their journey. I love that Pam finally realizes what she is meant to do! This entire story is so wonderful, and I'm so greatful that I found it. You're a fantastuc writer and I hope we can expect more stories from you in the future! Oh, and I'm totally going to the Allentown Art Festival this year! lol. I've been to that area many times (mostly the albright-knox) but never the festival, so this year we're going! Anywho, thank you for writing this story! It's definately down as one of my all time favourites. The story was beautiful, the characters were spot on, and your descritions of everything (emotions, situations, places, yeah everything lol) were absolutely perfect. Ok, I think i've gone on long enough, haha. The point being: Allentown=Amazing. I'm off to watch the vid now. Good luck on all future stories Sweatpea! You're awesome!

-Spencer



Author's Response: If I can inspire just one person to go to Allentown, my job here is done!  Spencer, you HAVE to go!  Have a hot dog!  Look for Andy Russell!  And go to Santasiero's for some pasta!  Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews and kind words.  I've loved writing this story so much and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 

Summary: Sometimes he thinks about Pam, and the memories are faded and ragged around the edges, like photographs handled too often.

oh the suspence! excellent chapter! can't wait for more!

Summary: This is another alternate ending story from season three, beginning just before Phyllis' Wedding and ending at Business School.

Many thanks to Beeswax for her advice and encouragement.

I still own nothing, not The Office, not Jim and Pam, and nothing affiliated with TV or Scranton. I am, however, getting a new laptop for Christmas, which is why I'm purging this one of this story before the holiday. On that happy note, thanks for reading!

this was so cute! "I was thinking -- well how about -- so, uh -- maybe we should, you know. What do you think?" it's just so them! and i totally remember that from runaway bride! now i kinda want to go and watch that movie... hehe

Author's Response: Thanks for reading. I'm glad you picked out the runaway bride proposal. I saw the movie a few weeks ago and just couldn't get it out of my head how it would fit Jim and Pam. Also i think it is the perfect way to be proposed to, nothing big and fancy just simple and if it is meant to be the other person will know exactly what you mean.
