France had been great. Good food. Sweet people. Gorgeous scenery. But it was all over, as Joey Potter flew out of the airport terminal.
She waited outside, for Dawson to pick her up.
The airport wasn't busy, because the rush of people were coming in on a later flight. She sat down on a
cold bench next to a girl who was happily eating a Snicker's bar. The girl turned to Joey, and smiled.
A beam of light flashed in Joey's eye, as a brand new Explorer pulled up next to the curb. Joey noticed that Pacey was in the driver's seat.
Joey grabbed her bags, and walked over to the jeep.
The window rolled down.
"Um, miss, I'm looking for a Joey Potter. Have you seen her? Tall, skinny, brown, hazel." Pacey grinned, and opened the passenger door.
"Hey, Pacey." Joey looked around the jeep, searching for any signs of their good friend Dawson Leery.
"He's not here Joey. He and Jen won this radio contest, and now are on the tropical state of Hawaii.
Dawson was the only person who could name Steven Spielburg's seventh movie."
"Oh." Joey's eyes narrowed. Dawson and Jen, in Hawaii? The thought was unbelievable! Six months before, she and Dawson were a very
happy couple, and now. Now, she has been replaced by a C-Cup-Slut.
"I'm sorry Joey. You're not the only one who was left out of this affair. I was oblivious to the fact that while you were looking at the Eiffel Tower, our blonde headed friends were playing hickey
in Dawson's room. People change, and they forget to tell people." Pacey went on.
"And I suppose," Joey's eyes were brimming with tears, "that rumors are going around school
that they're sleeping together and god knows what."
"I'm sorry Joey."
"Leave me alone, Pacey." And he did.
Three Days Later
"Monopoly or Twister?" Pacey announced, as he held both boxes up. Joey, who as sitting on the couch, pointed to Twister.
"I've played Monopoly way to many times with Dawson. He analyzed every little thing, and I was ready to quit by the second dice roll."
She and Pacey were in her living room/bedroom, and had been there for the entire day.
Pacey had really helped her with trying to forget Dawson. He'd become a true friend in the last 72 hours.
"Then Twister it is."
Twenty Minutes Later
"Right foot, green." Pacey yelled. Joey groaned.
"I can't do that, Pacey! It defies human nature." She sighed, and struggled to make 'right foot, green' work
out to her best advantage.
All it did was make her be in the most uncomfortable position in her life. Pacey's body was entwined in hers, and she felt awkward. She noticed Pacey was uncomfortable too.
When Pacey called out left hand red, she collapsed on the ground. She layed there for awhile,
then Pacey held out his hand. Joey took it, and stood up.
While standing, Pacey took Joey's chin, and kissed her lightly on the lips. Joey kissed him back. When they
pulled apart, they were both smiling.
"Fun game?"
"Very."
