Author's Chapter Notes:
Ah! I was so excited to write The Dundies, but it turned out being way harder than I thought.

That's what she said.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my attempt to bring the story together via IM.

The title, of course, is dedicated to Drunk!Pam, who is amazing. Inspiration for this lovely title comes from The Queen and I by the Gym Class Heroes, which is a song that is basically all about a girl that is drunk 24/7. I know Pam isn't drunk 24/7, but my mind immediately went to this song when I was looking for a title. :) Enjoy!
JHalpert: Good morning, Beesly.
PBeesly: Hello.
JHalpert: So, guess what Michael’s been talking to the cameras about all morning?
PBeesly: What?
JHalpert: The Dundies. :-D
PBeesly: Oh, God no. We need to stop him.
PBeesly: Wanna plot? I’m bored.
JHalpert: Wow, it’s like, 9:08. That’s a record. And yes.
PBeesly: Okay. :-)
JHalpert is away.

JHalpert is back from away.
PBeesly: Michael just gave me a job.
JHalpert: You already have a job.
PBeesly: I have to watch the videos from all the past Dundies “to look for highlights.”
JHalpert: And I thought selling paper was bad.
PBeesly: Uh, yeah.
JHalpert: Godspeed, Beesly.
PBeesly: :-(
PBeesly is away.

PBeesly is back from away.
PBeesly: Did you hear about what I wrote on the wall?
JHalpert: No. What wall?
PBeesly: The girl’s bathroom wall. :-D
JHalpert: Oh, that’s very high school scandalous of you.
PBeesly: Um, excuse me, person who suspends things in Jell-O.
JHalpert: Touche. What’d you write?
PBeesly: Something along the lines of "Michael lost his virginity at age 28."
PBeesly: Except less eloquent.
JHalpert: Oh my God, you made that up.
PBeesly: No, he told me.
JHalpert: Why would he tell anyone that?
PBeesly: I guess because he wanted to see if it was normal to lose it in your late twenties.
JHalpert: Which it’s not.
PBeesly: Exactly.
PBeesly: I have to go watch more footage now.
PBeesly: A.K.A., go meet my horrible, grisly, not-funny-at-all death.
JHalpert: I’ll miss you. You were a good friend.
PBeesly: :-P

PBeesly: Hey, did you ask Michael to change my award?
JHalpert: I may have been a part of that decision.
PBeesly: Thanks. :-)
JHalpert: Anytime.
PBeesly: I’m going to sleep now, I think I’m going to feel this one in the morning.

JHalpert: It’s Friday! Why aren’t you at work yet?
PBeesly: Hey, Jim. Could you tell Michael I’m going to come in a little late today?
JHalpert: Sure. Are you OK?
PBeesly: Yeah, I just have a hangover that could slay a walrus.
JHalpert: You got that one from Scrubs.
PBeesly: Guilty.
JHalpert: OK, I just have one question before you go.
PBeesly: I’m listening.
JHalpert: What does it feel like to be an outlaw?
PBeesly: Huh?
JHalpert: You got banned from Chili’s, remember?
PBeesly: Oh my God. That was real?
JHalpert: I’m afraid so, Beesly.
PBeesly: I thought I dreamt that.
JHalpert: No, you stole drinks off of other people’s tables. And fell off a chair in drunk-ness, among other things.
PBeesly: Oh, wow. Were the cameras there?
JHalpert: Aren’t they always?
PBeesly: Oh my God, I had like four El Niños and like two full things of beer.
JHalpert: Oh, trust me, I know. Actually, probably more than that, with Second Drink.
PBeesly: I explained Second Drink to you? I made that up in college.
PBeesly: What am I like when I’m drunk?
JHalpert: You laugh at everything, even Michael’s jokes, and you’re way more enthusiastic than you usually would be.
PBeesly: No way.
JHalpert: You thanked God for your Dundie.
PBeesly: No, I didn’t!
JHalpert: “Finally, I wanna thank God. Because God gave me this Dundie. And I feel God in this Chili's tonight.”
JHalpert: And then you let out a whoop-screech thing.
PBeesly: Oh, no.
JHalpert: Oh, yes. You’ll see it all when you review the 2005 footage.
PBeesly: I guess I will. Oof. I really need to stop looking at the computer.
JHalpert: Get well soon, Pam.
PBeesly: See you later, Halpert.

Chapter End Notes:
I got "I'll miss you. You were a good friend." from House. House said that to Wilson, and I loved it. :D Plus, coming from Jim, it's subtle flirting. I hope you enjoyed this installment of Communications! More is coming in the future!

Reviews are like seeing Drunk!Pam kiss Shockedashell!Jim. They're just priceless. :D
