Well, I can't believe it, but I'm done. I actually finished this thing. Now I can focus on my other two fics, Scranton Kim and Too Many Phones, both of which I would love it if you would check out. Anyway, thanks to my amazing, wonderful, spectacular reviewers, who encouraged me to continue with this mediocre story. Namely, DragonWingedHanyou, wildthing008, BasementoftheMansion, Inherently Flawed, JAMonMyToast, bingbangboom714, Miss-Jedi, Dizzy the Magical Fpoon, iheartstanley, TJtrack99, JScho, XALLOWspuffyBuFf, noodles medic, and kevin-o'toole77 . You guys rock.
P.S. This was supposed to be updated earlier, but SOMEONE didn't review. Then I was going to update anyway and had a little bit of a crisis…but that is now resolved, and here it is at long last. Major thanks to DragonWingedHanyou for all the support and for being my unofficial beta in the earlier stages, and also for helping me get through said mini-crisis…I guess more than one mini-soap worked itself out this week!
Alright. Here we go. Story time. Let's do this.

Monkey:
Please talk to me. I know I attempted to murder your fiancé and caused you to sin and revealed you as an adulteress to the entire office, but you're taking this way too far.
Love,
Dwight.

I did some thinking this weekend, Dwight. I can't continue this relationship. It's wrong and sinful. I'm sorry, but we can't be any more than coworkers.

Well, I don't know how accurate this is, but Kelly says that she and Dwight tried to - get this - murder Andy so that they could be together. Sounds like something out of a soap opera, doesn't it?

True. I already thanked her about 50,000 times, and she thought it was fun, anyway. Hey, have you heard anything from Toby? I wonder if he said anything about Friday.

Time: 11:30
Toby,
I don't exactly know how to say this, but please just disregard my previous emails. I saw how much you were emailing her and I got suspicious and probably said some stuff I shouldn't have said. Anyway, sorry for thinking you took her. Even if you were emailing her too much, it was irrational and wrong of me. Again, sorry. No hard feelings?

Subject: RE: Sorry
Time: 11:35
Well, a half-assed, understated apology is better than no apology. J Thanks for that, though. He's still sort of my friend, even if he did get a little weird. Sorry, I can't email for a while. Kelly, although a great detective, is a really, really bad receptionist. I have 208 voicemails and a whole stack of undelivered faxes. It's good to be back.

Holly-lujah,
What was that, Friday? Are we, you know…because I can break up with Jan. She practically broke up with me already. Actually, she did break up with me, about fifteen times in the last three months, but we always got back together…anyway, what are we now?

Holly-day,
I don't know what I want to be, but I think I love you. No, no, I know I love you, because every time I see you, my heart becomes full, it just gets bloated with love…its like, one guy's pumping love into my heart, and then this other guy's sucking out common sense from my brain, and it's just so…I want to marry you. But whatever you wanna be is cool.

Okay, I know I'm down 300 dollars on these Michael bets, but I want to make another one. At this rate, Michael's not going to leave his office for at least another week. If I'm wrong, I owe you double what I owe you now, and if I'm right, you don't owe me anything.

FROM THE DIARIES OF KELLY KAPOOR
Dear Diary, 9/15/08
Today was the best day EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pam's totally fine now, btw. She's actually smiling. But she has sooooooooo much to do, probably because answering phones at reception is, like, nothing like answering phones at Customer Service, and I didn't know what to do so I just stopped doing it. But it's ok. I'm back where I belong and everything is totally awesome.
Michael left his office! I know, right! He just walked right out, smiled, and yelled, "Everyone can talk now! Jan and I are done!" Then, you know what he did? He went right up to Holly and kissed her! OMG!!!!
But that's not even the best part! Right after that, Jim got out of his chair, and then he kissed Pam, which was, like, the sweetest, most romantic thing since Romeo and Juliet. I never finished reading it, but I'm sure it had a happy ending. Anyway, I feel great, because I actually helped someone for once, and usually people are telling me to stop helping, because I'm making it worse or they can't handle my fabulousness or something.
The only bad part is that Dwight and Angela still aren't talking. But other than that, it was the most amazing, awesome day EVER!!!!!
And now I'm going to call Ryan and tell him that I'm a local hero and he's stuck doing community service! LOL!!!
XOXO,
Kelly

It's over! It's actually over! Finally! Hope it wasn't too cheesy for you guys. It was just a bit of fun, anyway, that stretched on about two months longer than I planned. But it was a fun ride. I have two other in-progress fics up, Two Many Phones and Scranton Kim. I also wrote an essay-ish fic that DragonWingedHanyou posted for me through her account because she knew it would get more readers. It's called Brownies and it's in the Twilight category. Thanks again for the reviews and support! And three cheers for Jim and Pam!
