A/N: This is turning in to quite a story; I have a lot of good ideas so please r&r! Also, talking heads are mixed in, the names are itliaziced and there will be lines in the script that will set them apart, so yeah that's what those are all about.
Disclaimer: Yeah, I own the office- IN MY DREAMS! Please don't sue
--------------------------------
-+-
Jim: So yeah, I'm having a party tonight. I wanted to invite all the cool people in the office. I figured it would be nice to reconnect with all my Scranton buddies. The planning was going great, but then Dwight 'accidentally' told Michael and then I had to invite him, I mean he is my boss.
-+-
Dwight: Yes, I did tell Michael about Jim's party, as his number three, I feel it is important to keep him informed of the office's gossip. What he does with that information is completely up to him
-+-
Andy: No, I didn't tell Michael about Jim's party, as Michael's number three, I feel it is important to protect his feelings and if he isn't invited to a party, I'm not going to tell him about said party, that is not very helpful, is it?
-+-
Michael: Yes, I am coming to Jim's party tonight and as soon as I got my invite I called up Miss Jan Levenson. Ummm, she said she'd love to come, and not only that but she's coming over a whole hour early, giving us plenty of time to…
-+-
Pam: When Jan shows up, I have a few things to ask her…
-+-
Dwight approaches Jim at 8:01 A.M. Jim notices the time because it is way to early to be dealing with Dwight.
"Question: Will there be a vegetarian option at your party tonight? Ang- I mean my significant other- wishes to know."
"Yes," Jim says, giving his signature smile to the camera, "be sure to tell Angela there will be tofu."
"Jim! I am not dating Angela, how dare you say such a thing!" Dwight then rushes to his desk, picks up his phone, hangs it up immediately and informs Jim that his significant other shall not be attending. Jim just rolls his eyes and heads toward the break room, because it is way to early to be dealing with Dwight. Coincidently him and Karen get there at the same time.
"Hey," he says, fighting the urge to give her a hug right then and there, he wants to, but these cameras are watching their every move.
"Hey," she replies, just as evenly, she fights the surge of sadness that comes when he doesn't hug her; he is 'camera Jim' right now after all. "This party has got me thinking, I have yet to visit casa de Jim."
Jim blushes because he immediately tries to suppress the thought of the time Pam had visited him. He loves and hates that the memory comes rushing back to him and he loves and hates the way he remembers every single moment of that time.
-+-
Karen: Do I think its weird that I haven't been to Jim's apartment yet? Ummm, not really, I mean he has a roommate; maybe he's like grossly disfigured or something….
-+-
Jim: Why hasn't Karen been over yet? We'll it's just because the last girl who was there, she kinda left a mark, and I'll leave it at that.
-+-
Jim pulls out of his train of thoughts and tells Karen that if she comes over early he'll give her the grand tour of casa de Jim. He smiles at her as she leaves, still desperately trying to forget the time he gave Pam the 'grand tour'. Karen smiles as she leaves, saying it sounds great and Jim gets butterflies in his stomach, he remembers the last time Pam made him feel that way, in fact it had happened about five minutes ago.
Jim is leaning over the coffee pot, thinking about his shitty problem of living two girls when little Miss Sunshine herself, Kelly, walks in.
"Hey Jim!"
"Hey," Jim says, not quite returning from his own thoughts, "What's up Kelly??
"Well Jim, I was wondering what um, what color your always are?"
-+-
Jim: Yep, I'm back at my old place with Mark, Only thing is Mark's girlfriend wants to be an interior designer so she went and painted every room in the house a different color. They're all pretty random and I don't know them all. But she did paint the living room ocean blue, and it looks better now, I like it.
-+-
"They are ocean blue, um… Do I want to know why you're asking?"
"Well, I couldn't deiced wither to wear blue or pink tonight, but I don't want to blend, so I'll wear pink! Thanks Jim!" She hugs him and leaves and Ryan suspiciously comes out of the bathroom as soon as the break room door shuts.
"Hey Ryan, did you get all that?"
"Yep," Ryan shrugs, he isn't really in the mood to talk about Kelly with Jim right now. "So I guess I'll see you at seven?" He grabs his cheese stick and takes it to his desk.
-+-
Ryan: Sometimes I like to eat my cheese stick at my desk, that way there's less interaction I have to have with the world. O but every once in a while Dwight will lecture me about how 99 of my snack isn't real, but it's worth it.
-+-
"Bye Ryan." Jim mumbles as Ryan races out of the room.
He heads towards his desk and the minute he sits down his phone rings. Recognizing the number he fights with himself before picking it up.
"Hey Big Tuna, I have a problem."
"What?" Jim can't believe he is asking he knows what the answer will be.
"I don't have a date for tonight."
"Well, Pam will be there, bring your banjo and see what happens."
"Def. see ya at 7:00 Big Tuna, over and out."
Jim chuckles as he saunters over to reception.
-+-
Jim: Why didn't I tell Pam about Andy? Well I think some things are better left surprises.
-+-
"Hey Halpert," she smiles and his heart does that familiar flip-flop thing he keeps trying to ignore.
"Hey Beesley." He smiles at her and she is desperately trying not to let the butterflies in her stomach show up in her face. "You brining anyone tonight?"
It is the 1st time he hasn't tried to beat around the bush when it comes to her love life, and it takes them both aback. The way that he asks and doesn't care about the answer makes it that much more apparent how much things have changed between them.
Of course I'm not, Pam thinks to herself, I still love you after all. But she can't tell him that.
"Nope," she replies, "I'm going stag."
"Well Miss Beesley, I'll see you there."
A few amazingly boring hours later, in which Jim plays 15 games of solitaire and makes 3 sales calls, Phyllis comes up to him.
"Hey Jim, is it okay if I invite Bob Vance tonight?"
"Sure Phyllis," Jim smiles, "tell Bob Vance of Vance refrigeration, I'll see him there." Phyllis smiles and goes back to her seat.
Jim meanders toward the break room trying to do any thing he can to make the time till lunch, 57 minutes, pass. Toby is standing there, getting some coffee.
"Hey Toby, are you coming tonight?"
"O yeah, Sasha's going to her 1st slumber party tonight, so I can make it. Is umm…. Pam coming?" Toby prays that his intentions aren't too obvious and Jim doesn't seem to notice.
"Yep Toby, every one is coming. I've got to go, here comes Michael and this is my 3rd break of the day. Talk to you later."
"Bye Jim." Michael than gives Jim a high five and walks into the break room to lecture Toby about how getting coffee is not an efficient use of his time.
