Summary: A continued glimpse into the instant messaging history of Jim and Pam.
Spoilers: Season 2 through "Valentine's Day"

Notes: This is the 4th installment of this series. I am writing a conversation for each episode to expand upon what we see as well as to answer some questions. X-posted at MTT
previously: Season 2 Part 2
Note on order: I'm having The Injury take place before Booze Cruise since I feel it makes more sense to go from Booze Cruise directly into The Secret.

pambeesly: hey
jimhalpert: hey
pambeesly: just got home?
jimhalpert: yeah, took the babies home, burped them, and put them to bed
pambeesly: :-D
pambeesly: so you actually went to the infamous Schrute beet farm?
jimhalpert: actually, no, it was weird
jimhalpert: I got back to drop off Meredith's van and Angela was still here
jimhalpert: and she insisted on taking Dwight home
pambeesly: hmm
jimhalpert: but whatever, it saved me a trip to wherever the hell the Schrute farm is
pambeesly: yeah
jimhalpert: so are you going to miss him?
pambeesly: who?
jimhalpert: Bizzaro Dwight
pambeesly: oh, I dunno
pambeesly: it was really nice to have him be nice to me for a change
pambeesly: but it was still Dwight
jimhalpert: yeah
pambeesly: I know you won't miss Bizzaro Dwight
jimhalpert: oh yeah?
pambeesly: yeah, because you would feel bad about pranking him, and then what would you do?
jimhalpert: I'd have to find a new prank target
pambeesly: but the only other person who would fall as completely for pranks as Dwight does is Michael
pambeesly: and he's our boss, so it's a bit risky
jimhalpert: true, true
jimhalpert: but there's still Phyllis, Kevin, maybe Kelly
jimhalpert: and of course, you
pambeesly: me?
jimhalpert: yeah
pambeesly: why would you ever play a prank on me?
jimhalpert: the right occasion may come at some point
jimhalpert: so be ready, Beesly
pambeesly: no way, I know all your tricks
pambeesly: I will never fall for one of your pranks.
jimhalpert: we'll see ;-)

pambeesly: good morning
jimhalpert: morning
pambeesly: you okay?
pambeesly: did you get sea sick or anything?
jimhalpert: no, why?
pambeesly: I just noticed a lot of people felt sick on the boat
jimhalpert: nope, feel normal
pambeesly: crazy night, huh?
jimhalpert: yeah, that it was
pambeesly: I just wanted to say your toast was really nice
pambeesly: I mean, before Dwight interrupted it :-/
jimhalpert: yeah, one of the hazards of working with him
pambeesly: and I also wanted to say I feel the same way about you
pambeesly: you really are my best friend
pambeesly: sorry if that's sappy, but it's true
jimhalpert: no, it's not sappy. Thanks
pambeesly: so Katy sure was interested in knowing about being engaged
jimhalpert: really
pambeesly: sorry, I'm not trying to freak you out or anything
jimhalpert: actually we decided to not see each other anymore
pambeesly: oh, I'm sorry
jimhalpert: it's okay
pambeesly: do you want to talk about it?
jimhalpert: not really
pambeesly: oh
jimhalpert: sorry, I mean there's not much to talk about
pambeesly: okay
pambeesly: well if you do wanna talk about it, you know where to find me
jimhalpert: actually, could I get directions again?
jimhalpert: I can never remember if it's a right or a left at the jelly bean dispenser
pambeesly: it's tricky, since it's been known to move, but usually it's a left
jimhalpert: thanks, I'll make sure to write that down
pambeesly: :-)
jimhalpert: uh oh, I might have to actually get to work here
pambeesly: okay, I'll let you do that
pambeesly: and seriously, you wanna talk, I'm here for you
jimhalpert: thanks

pambeesly: hey
jimhalpert: hello
pambeesly: what are you up to?
jimhalpert: just had some dinner, probably gonna watch a movie or something
jimhalpert: you?
pambeesly: I'm packing
jimhalpert: packing?
pambeesly: yeah, I forgot to tell you, Roy and I are going to the Poconos for a few days
pambeesly: I'll be back on Thursday
jimhalpert: already taking time off, huh?
pambeesly: I know, I promised myself I'd wait until at least March this year
pambeesly: no such luck
jimhalpert: well, have fun
pambeesly: thanks
pambeesly: are you okay?
jimhalpert: yeah, why?
pambeesly: you just seemed down when we left work
pambeesly: and you're being kinda quiet
pambeesly: I know today was a little awkward
jimhalpert: I'm okay
pambeesly: you're probably bummed out about Katy too, huh?
jimhalpert: not really
jimhalpert: I mean, I'm not happy about the way that went down
jimhalpert: but I knew for a while that it wasn't going anywhere
pambeesly: oh
jimhalpert: actually, to be honest with you
pambeesly: hey, I gotta go
pambeesly: Roy needs to use the computer
jimhalpert: oh okay, well, again have fun
pambeesly: thanks, and hey
jimhalpert: yeah?
pambeesly: you'll find someone someday
pambeesly: and she's going to make you really happy

pambeesly: you're back!
jimhalpert: I am
pambeesly: you have no idea how happy I am to see you when I look up
jimhalpert: well, you have no idea how happy I am that Kelly is in a different room
pambeesly: why, what's wrong with Kelly?
jimhalpert: other than being Scranton's version of a Valley Girl?
pambeesly: really?
jimhalpert: there literally wasn't a single moment that she wasn't talking
jimhalpert: I think I now know everything about her
pambeesly: favorite color?
jimhalpert: pink
pambeesly: favorite movie?
jimhalpert: Pretty in Pink
pambeesly: uh-huh, okay, what does she want to name her first kid?
jimhalpert: Usher
pambeesly: you're lying to me
jimhalpert: oh how I wish
pambeesly: wow, I had no idea
jimhalpert: yeah, I now truly understand the term "captive audience"
jimhalpert: oh, and she had me try to set her up with Ryan
pambeesly: really? Ryan?
jimhalpert: yeah, cuz he's soooooo cute :-/
pambeesly: yikes, I assume he has no idea how she really is either
jimhalpert: probably not
jimhalpert: I give it a week
pambeesly: well believe me, things were equally bad out here
pambeesly: I never fully appreciated the wall between Michael's office and the main room until yesterday
jimhalpert: yeah, he managed to rearrange all my files
pambeesly: you're lucky he didn't fold them all into paper airplanes
jimhalpert: this is true
pambeesly: so, are you busy?
jimhalpert: why?
pambeesly: well, I haven't talked to you all week, plus you look like you need a jelly bean
jimhalpert: hmm, maybe I do
pambeesly: so maybe you should come get one
jimhalpert: maybe I will
pambeesly: :-)

February 2, 2006 4:12pm
pambeesly: hey
jimhalpert: hey
pambeesly: what's up?
jimhalpert: eh, just stalling until 5 like usual
pambeesly: yeah, same here, I'm on a 4-game winning streak in Freecell
jimhalpert: awesome
jimhalpert: hey, I didn't mean to get that way in the kitchen earlier
pambeesly: I know you didn't
jimhalpert: and it's a bit hypocritical of me to lecture
jimhalpert: I'm not exactly living my dream right now
pambeesly: no, you weren't lecturing, you were just being a friend
jimhalpert: you just love art so much
jimhalpert: and I think you'd be happy if you did more of it
pambeesly: yeah
pambeesly: it's just one of those things
pambeesly: something comes up and that's what always ends up on the back burner
jimhalpert: I know that one
pambeesly: if I had known about that internship before we set a date
jimhalpert: yeah, the timing wasn't great
pambeesly: probably would have found a reason not to do it then either
jimhalpert: maybe, maybe not
pambeesly: there are some summer classes at the community center
pambeesly: they're pretty inexpensive and it would be at night
pambeesly: and a couple start in July
jimhalpert: well, I think you already know what I think of that ;-)
pambeesly: it's not as much ‘real world' experience as that internship
pambeesly: but it's something
jimhalpert: maybe you should take an oath
pambeesly: an oath?
jimhalpert: yes, repeat after me
jimhalpert: "I, Pamela Beesly"
pambeesly: are you really making me do this?
jimhalpert: yes ;-)
pambeesly: fine, I, Pamela Beesly
jimhalpert: "swear on my Dunder Mifflin employee handbook that I have never read"
pambeesly: swear on the DM handbook
jimhalpert: "that I will take summer art classes at the community center regardless of any circumstances save death or severe illness"
pambeesly: that I will take summer art classes unless I'm dead or really sick
jimhalpert: okay, good enough
jimhalpert: "and if I don't take the classes my punishment will be to kiss Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute on the lips"
pambeesly: wow, do I have no other options, like getting a lashing or having to shave my head?
jimhalpert: nope
pambeesly: fine, if I don't take the classes, I'll kiss Michael or Dwight on the lips
jimhalpert: :-) okay
pambeesly: I'm surprised typing that didn't make my keyboard burst into flames
jimhalpert: I certainly have some incriminating evidence if I ever want to blackmail you
pambeesly: no, you don't, because you're going to promise you won't tell anyone about this oath, or what my punishment is
pambeesly: and if you do, then you will have to kiss Dwight on the lips
jimhalpert: ah, c'mon, I gave you the Michael option
pambeesly: I guess I'm not as nice as you :-p
jimhalpert: fine, I'll promise not to tell anyone
pambeesly: okay, we have a deal then
jimhalpert: good

23. Valentine's Day
February 15, 2006 10:12am
jimhalpert: morning
pambeesly: morning
jimhalpert: so, how do you think Michael's trip to New York went?
pambeesly: well, no one from corporate has called yet, so that's usually a sign that it wasn't a total disaster
jimhalpert: yeah, sounds like it might have gone well, based on that
pambeesly: I wonder if he showed the video
jimhalpert: what video?
pambeesly: remember when he brought in his video camera last week?
jimhalpert: yeah
pambeesly: he made a video to show corporate, I believe he called it "The Faces of Scranton."
jimhalpert: uh-oh
pambeesly: yeah, I know
jimhalpert: dang, I didn't put on any makeup that day either
pambeesly: :-D
pambeesly: how was your Valentine's day?
jimhalpert: eh, pretty dull, all my friends apparently went and got girlfriends on me
jimhalpert: so it was just me and a fridge full of beer
pambeesly: sounds better than my night
jimhalpert: really?
pambeesly: I guess when I told Roy not to spend too much on V-day, he took it to mean "don't spend anything at all"
jimhalpert: sorry
pambeesly: it's no big deal
pambeesly: it's just a Hallmark holiday anyway
jimhalpert: yeah
jimhalpert: so no one got you anything?
pambeesly: well, you know, people handed out candy, and Michael had those classy plastic roses
jimhalpert: ah, yes
jimhalpert: so I guess you haven't looked in your top drawer yet
pambeesly: no, why?
jimhalpert: just a hunch
jimhalpert: you like it then?
pambeesly: omg!
pambeesly: wow, you might have topped last year
jimhalpert: I do what I can
jimhalpert: sorry it's late
pambeesly: that's okay, it's perfect
jimhalpert: Happy day after Valentine's day
pambeesly: you too :-)
