Interesting. I like the concept for this story. I can't wait for baby Jim to meet baby Pam.

Ha ha Dwight as the roommate is really funny, especially hearing Pam's conversation with Jim. I have a nagging feeling it's building to them being each other's first and I hope they get together soon!

OMG they are so cute. I love the little language and mannerisms between them. So adorable.

Oh my gosh they're so cute. I cannot wait to see them get older. I love reading about them together.

Awww shoot. I had a feeling Karen would be introduced and Roy would make another appearance. Of course, I'm still holding out that they could be each other's firsts but this obvious tension building will combust at some point right?

Author's Response: I'm still deciding! Several possibilities of how it could all play out and I'm not sure yet which I'm going to go for. And keep in mind that each chapter takes place in a different year. So there could be a lot that happens between them that we're not seeing... Hey, maybe they already slept together. No, I wouldn't do that to y'all!

Summary: An alternate universe that sees Pam turning over a new leaf at a private art school in Chicago, Ill. In this world, Dunder Mifflin doesn't exist, although a few of its characters are guaranteed to pop up here and there. On her first day, Pam meets Jim, a cute, affable, and somewhat geeky Journalism major who introduces her to indie rock, old movies, pop culture and a whole new world.

Very cute. I love smut but seeing the banter again was great, especially seeing Angela quiz him. Love it. Cannot wait for the next part (literally) and more "action," if you know what i mean :)

Author's Response: Oh, I am sure there will be plenty of action pretty soon. I mean, Jim and Pam are two college students in love, practically living together. What else would they be doing, right? ;) Haha. Thanks for the review!

I won't lie. I'm so sad this is over. It was definitely one of my favorite fic series. Maybe an epilogue with the wedding??? PLEASE? :( Journey as the first song and Keds as the wedding shoes?

I love the proposal and how fast she answered, I could totally see her doing that. and I love the end image of their his and hers Keds in the apartment.

The smut was nice but definitely not quite was I was expecting. Seems a little rougher than normal.

But I still love this and am so sad it's over. Great job.

I hope you feel better! I hate hate hate head colds.

Wow what a chapter. I like that we jumped ahead to graduation and I love her waking him up to talk about her list. Roy's reappearance was nice too actually, although the tension now is pretty thick for the engagement. I'm kind of glad it didn't work out though so it can be more romantic next time. Poor Jim! Time for Pam to give him some sweet loving as a thank you and I'm sorry you didn't get to propose.

Glad we got to see Angela, Dwight and Kelly/Ryan again too!

Author's Response: Thank you for the get well wishes. I am feeling a little better today, although my head is still clogged up a bit and I can only hear well out of one ear. Such a drag, but Benadryl and I have become close friends.

I\'m glad you enjoyed the chapter, and I hope you are pleased with how Pam and Jim make it all work out in the end.

So awesome and totally made my Friday. I'm crushed there is only two more chapters left, I hope maybe an epilogue where we can see them get married, settled, peek into the future etc.

Love this chapter and how domestic Pam is trying to be, plus reconnecting with her mom. Great stuff. Of course, all the stuff with them together is awesome and her being a little more physically proactive. Hopefully more smut too before this comes to a close :)

Author's Response: I hate to bring this story to an end. I\'ve just enjoyed writing it so much over the past couple of weeks. There will definitely be an epilogue... But I will tell you how it ends just yet. ;)

I\'m pleased to hear you enjoyed the chapter and all of the changes Pam is going through, trying to become the perfect little future wife for Jim. I\'m so happy she\'s learning how to cook, because for awhile there I was very concerned for the other tenants of her apartment building. As a fellow apartment dweller myself, and without renter\'s insurance- stupid me, that\'s always been a huge worry of mine. Then again, I\'m an over-worrier.

So my day wasn't a ton better at work today, but this yet again made it better :)

And work isn't going to get better for another week or two so the faster you get these up, the happier I'll be ;) No pressure, promise.

Great chapter, love the fluff and seeing them happy again. Can't wait for more domestic cuteness. And I'm glad Pam finally returned the favor. It is only fair :)

More smut please and you're doing great! Love the fic as always.

Author's Response: Aw, I\'m sorry to hear that work hasn\'t been the best, but I\'m happy to hear that my little story is providing somewhat of a bright spot in your day. Really, it makes me feel like all of the hard work and late nights are totally worth it, because I have lived and breathed this story for the past month. I\'m sad that I have to bring it to an end, but life must go on I guess... :(

Great chapter. I can totally understand them having these adjustment issues because they're used to spending so much time together in person. I like that Pam is going out and getting some independence but Jim sees it as a double edged sword. Poor guy! I'm glad she went to see them and I hope things get easier and they can see each other more!

Thanks for a little smut too, that was great. And this post totally made my awful day at work better.

More soon please!

Author's Response: I\'m sorry to hear you had a bad day at work. I hope tomorrow, the sun is shining and everything is better. :)

I\'m glad you can understand why it\'s become such a struggle for Pam and Jim in their first month apart. It\'s just so hard getting used to a long-distance relationship, especially since they practically spent every day together. Even when they lived right down the hall from each other, it seemed like Jim practically lived in her apartment. He had his own key and everything. Eek! So yes, it\'s taking awhile for them to work out all the kinks, but I have faith that they\'ll be able to pull it together. I feel like Pam is taking the first steps towards her newfound independence and strength when she made the decision to go out to him and apologize. That was definitely big on her part, and we\'ll be seeing more of that- Pam taking big steps both in their relationship and in her own life. It will be exciting, I can\'t wait!

Thank you so much for reviewing. And again, I hope you have a wonderful tomorrow!

Angela and Dwight's wedding was just how I imagined it, but the picture of Pam's bridesmaid dress wasn't as bad as I envisioned. I love Pam's talk while she and Jim were dancing, it made me tear up, and I love that he finally gave her a ring, even if it's just a promise ring for now.

Hoping for some smut next chapter and of course the banter between them about the care package was perfect.

also, there is a Metra line that goes from Chicago to Kenosha, just wanted to throw that out there in case that factors into the story somehow.

Cannot wait, as always, for the next part!

Author's Response: Oh yes, I have a feeling Pam and Jim will be commuting quite a bit via Metra over the next couple of months. Have you by chance ever visited Kenosha? I haven\'t, but I\'m trying to find an excuse to go so I can do some research. ;) I\'ve seen pictures and it seems like such a beautiful town.

Pam certainly has Kelly to thank for her dress. If it wasn\'t for Kelly\'s big, embarrassing, screaming hissy fit at the bridal store, Pam would have been wearing one hideous costume piece. Luckily, she and Angela settled for something slightly in between. :)

Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Another awesome chapter. I love the sex contest and of course fooling around in their parents' houses. So perfect. I'm curious what this will mean for them now with him in Kenosha for the time being.

I do have to say though, I'm beyond glad that Jim is a "giver" but I think it's time Pam returns the favor. Just saying.

I cannot wait for the next part. Totally got my NYE off to a great start.

Author's Response: Hey, Bayjb. :) Thank you for another wonderful review. I\'m glad you enjoyed this chapter, even with all of the dirty. Ha-ha. Hey, it\'s summer, it\'s hot.

Hmm, very good point on Jim and Pam and their scandalous \"bedroom activities\". I think it is somewhat interesting to note, as this chapter shows, that in the past we have always seen Jim being there for Pam and fully giving his all and supporting her, and now it\'s Pam\'s turn. I think she\'s slowly gaining a bit more self-confidence, and now she\'s going to have to become even more self-reliant without Jim constantly by her side. Pam has never truly been alone, alone. She\'s either had Roy, her friends, or Jim, and now she\'s going into her final year at school in the big city, somewhat isolated from everyone. It will be pretty interesting to see what happens as Pam slowly grows into herself and gains a little more confident in herself... both in the real world, and in the bedroom. ;) Tee-hee.

Great chapter. I like that we got to see a bit of Pam's parents too, who were exactly how i thought they would be. It's too bad they're not very supportive of her, but I love that Jim stood up to them. That was great.

Cannot wait for the next part. Maybe a little smutty action coming up again :)?

Author's Response: Thank you for the review. I\'m glad you enjoyed Jim\'s little speech. I think his mother needed to hear it, and she needs to realize that Pam has a good thing going for her.

Summer is next! Lots of hot... sizzling... steamy... nights.... ??

I really loved this chapter. I love the banter in her room, going shopping and seeing his family. I also gushed reading about them sitting on the couch and him holding her hand. That was too cute. I hope he does get a ring within his brothers' time frame :)

Author's Response: Hey, thank you for the review Bayjb. I\'m glad you enjoyed the chapter. We shall see if Jim stays true to his word in the next six months. This chapter fell in May so technically he has until November... Hmm.

Aww poor Pam. But that's the sign of a real keeper if he holds your hair. Glad to hear Roy's engaged so he's not a threat. Of course, more smut please :) Cannot wait for the next part.

Author's Response: Thank you! I honestly don\'t know anyone in my life who would hold my hair if I started hurling over my kitchen sink, and I seriously doubt I would be that brave myself so, yes, Jim is a real keeper. Haha.

Love this. So glad they were able to work it out. I love the Journey song he played too. Another update this weekend? I can't wait to see what's next.

Author's Response: I promise I am going to try my best to get in an update this weekend. I desperately want to. I just came home from an 11 hour shift at work, and I\'m oh so tempted to write, but I\'m soooo tired. But, the characters need me!! Ugh, dilemma. So glad you\'re enjoying it so far! :D

I love Pam's dress and how they met up on NYE. I wish she wasn't sick but I think it's cute how they made it work and still kissed at midnight.

Author's Response: I thought it would be interesting to see how Jim and Pam are able to communicate on all levels, even when one of them is a mute. Haha. Aww, if only my NYE could be so magical. :(

Wow. That's all I have to say. I like that he's more aggressive with her and she is as well with him. I wasn't surprised she had some lingering problems with Roy but I hope they've moved beyond it now and can focus on their future. Smutty filled future. Cannot wait for the next part. Love this fic.

Author's Response: Oh yes, I think Pam is finally moving on and realizing that she has a good thing going for her right now. :)

SOOOO cute. I love the idea of them getting to know each other better on the phone first. I live in Chicago and it's nice to see a fic set here. I think the Metra could cut back on traffic issues and help them meet halfway but I digress :) Cannot wait for more!

Author's Response: Hey, Chicago represent. :) The Metra is just awful sometimes. And they really need to offer a student discount! Thanks for the review!

I don't know if I believe in soulmates but I like to entertain the idea. Great chapter. I cannot wait until they're together again. Now that they got to know each other better, maybe we can get some physical stuff :)?

Also, I think I commented twice here. Oops.

Author's Response: Hmm... there may be some physical stuff coming up in an upcoming chapter... maybe...
