I think that considering the last episode, this is very likely to happen in the future. If Jim doesn't start trying to move up soon, they'll get stuck with not as much mobility ie kids, morgage, that stuff. This was very realistic, but I'm glad there was some hope there at the end!

Author's Response:

I don't know if Jim needs to try to move up, but he needs to find a better situation at some point...I have to think that having Pam there is all that makes DM tolerable for him.  Thanks for the review!

Aww, little Jan wanted to be Pam! I did not see that coming. This is such a cute series!

Wow, intense! Please tell me Jim kills that mofo?

I love the premise for this story and Angela POV has me LOLing all over the place. Keep it up!

Author's Response: I'm so glad I made you LOL! Yay!

This made me squee so much! The dialogue is dead on Jim and Pam, and I love Jim's mom!

Author's Response: you know, i feel like i already responded to the feedback... forgive me if i did already. thanks! it was so fun to work on... and i love jim\'s mom too. she totally rocks the house, i think. i envision her a bit like pam, but maybe a bit more unwieldy.

This story makes me very happy. I love how you adknowledge that they have problems, but in the end there's just something between them that can't be ignored. I actually gasped out loud when I read the last line... even though I sorta saw where you were going with it, so kudos! I'm in a very good mood now, thanks!

Author's Response: I'm glad I put you in a good mood for a while! It's been a depressing day with the strike and all. :( Perhaps I am naive, but I just think that theirs is that kind of unique love that will only grow as time goes on and each realize that they are better people just for knowing the other.

*claps hands* Yay! I loved these... even the sad ones. I'm actually preparing to post something strikingly similar to this, with the "what if" theme. Great minds, eh? Great job!

Author's Response: ooh, i can\'t wait to read it! i\'m glad you loved it, thank you...

Aww, that first one almost made me cry. You promised fluff soon, right? ;p

Author's Response: Wow, I\'m glad I didn\'t completely make you cry! I think it would be torture for poor Jim to watch Pam and Roy be parents. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Oh my god! I've got parallels coming out of my ears (in a good way). I never realized that there were so many ways they intersect. Fantastic insight, as always, especially: And after all, she did pick his teapot.


Author's Response: Thanks :) I actually hadn\'t thought of the parallels myself until I started to write this chap and I couldn\'t rewatch any clips (youtube left me high and dry) so I read the MTT ep guide for the s2 and s3 Christmas eps. The parallels just wouldn\'t go away. Thanks so much for continuing to read and review, it means a lot to see people are following this story.

*claps enthusiastically* The perfect ending to a wonderful series. Well done, really. I love the format and the concept and I think you did a really good job of slipping inside their heads.

That is SO something Roy would do! How ironic. Yay, more please!

Author's Response: I was hoping her nickname would be believable! I thought it fit Roy's character. Next chapter, Michael gives her a new name--almost as good as Roy's! Thanks for your review, and for reading!

Eeeee! Sorry, I just had to get that out. This is probably exactly what Pam is thinking, now that she's headed in her right direction, she doesn't want him to just be tugged along for the ride. Excellent story!

P.S. God I love that song!
