Hey! This is my first fanfic, one that I consider interesting. I always wondered what it would have been like for Jan to get fired earlier and Jim to get her job. Season 3 AU.

Please review if you want me to continue this!

MICHAEL:

Michael Scott was browsing the web for good deals on a new magic kit after he lost his old one. He was really bored, Jim was on his holiday in Australia and his lost presence had made a dent into the branch. The phone rang and he instantly picked up.

"Hey, Michael you've got David Wallace on line 1." Pam told him.

"Put him through." Michael waited a few moments before continuing, "Hey, David how's New York?"

"Um. Michael it's great, I am just letting you know that Jan Levingson's contract has been terminated." David told him. Michael looked at the cameras in shock at this.

"Why?"

"Her performance has been very disappointing over the last two years, and someone from your branch has been chosen for this new position."

Michael looked at the camera, thinking that David meant him. He raised his eyebrows at the camera before asking, "Who is the lucky person?"

"Um… Jim Halpert. He had many interesting ideas, so we decided to make him the Company VP."

Michael was shocked. "Jim's leaving?"

"Yes, after his vacation he will be moving to New York to undertake his new position. Thanks Michael."

Michael put the phone down and stole a glance to the camera. He couldn't believe that Jim had left without saying goodbye. After 10 minutes thinking over what had just happened Michael decided to make an announcement.

"Hello, everyone hope y'all doing goooood. Ok…..basically, Jan Levingson has been fired."

There were a few gasps which went around the office, "Oh...Michael are you ok?" Kelly asked him. It was no secret that Michael and Jan had been together before.

"Yeah, I'm all right. She is being replaced by no other than Jim Halpert." He said, trying to put across that Jim did a horrible thing in leaving.

"Way to go Jim." Phyllis said, smiling, "He was always very talented, it's good that Corporate gave him the job."

"Jim is leaving?" Michael heard Pam ask softly. He noticed a degree of emotion in her voice. He wondered why she was so upset, before realising something. Maybe she felt the same way as Jim did, he remembered what Jim had told him on the booze cruise, that he had feelings for Pam. He decided to let it go.

"He is moving on to bigger and better things." He said smiling.

PAM:

Pam's heart was beating heavily in her chest and she felt a large lump in her throat. Jim's leaving. She had broken off her engagement with Roy about a week before, and she was hoping that she and Jim could talk about what had happened on Casino night.

Pam felt tears filling her eyes, so she ran into the woman's bathroom and sobbed in an empty stall. She believed that it was her fault that Jim had left, she didn't have the courage to admit that she had feelings for Jim. Ever since Jim had arrived in Dunder Mifflin, Pam's life had become bearable. The days had been a lot shorter ever since they became friends. She would normally just sit around, playing Solitaire on her computer until work ended. When she met Jim, she became his accomplice in Pranks on Dwight. It had been a good time.

Casino Night had changed everything. That whole time the friendly looks that they exchanged felt more intimate. She didn't know what to do when Jim told Pam that he loved her, it had come out of nowhere, and as soon as he left Pam realised that she had felt the same way. Now he was gone and she didn't know what to do.

She spent the next 15 minutes in the bathroom, before leaving her strong hold. She sat down as if nothing had happened. Ryan came up to talk to her, "Hey, Pam."

"Oh-hey Ryan, whatsup."

"What do you think of Jim getting that corporate job?"

"Jim was always talented, so I think that he deserved the job."

"You guys were good friends right?"

"Oh, yeah."

"It's-just….. You guys talked a lot. Do you think that Michael will give me Jim's old job?"

Pam smiled at him, "Yeah, I think you will, Michael really likes you."

"Too much so." Ryan said, laughing. "See you Pam."

The cameras zoomed in on Pam, who looked like she was going to cry.

Pam felt really vulnerable and weak after Ryan talked to her about Jim's old job. She had only just found out that Jim had left, and he was already being replaced. She didn't know if she could handle it.
