Spoilers: Nah, just that I think Jen is a slut boozie (or is that boozie slut?), but that’s no secret.
I hope you all enjoy…
Scene: Dawson’s Room: The Day After Christmas
“Please, Dawson, you have to come,” Jen pleaded.
“Jen, you may be trying to get me into this unruly teen, but come on, a New Year’s Eve Party at Chris’s house?”
“Right, you can’t get more unruly about that. Come on, Dawson, with all that is going on you need to take a break.”
“Jen, thanks, but no thanks, I think this Friday night I will be doing the same thing I do every New Year’s Eve, watching the Ball go down in Times Square. It would be great if you came and joined me.”
“Dawson, NEW YEAR’S EVE equals PARTY! If you aren’t up to it, I guess I have to go without you.”
“Okay, Jen.”
Scene: Dawson’s Room: The Next Day
Talking into the phone, “Oh, so you and Andie are going to just stay at her house.”
“Yeah, it’s going to be great, I actually have someone to kiss this year after the Ball goes down, so I guess the usual tradition of sharing our RESOLUTIONS on New Year’s Eve off bro,” Pacey regrets.
“Hey, it’s okay.”
“Well, I happen to know that Jack is out of town helping his father back in Rhode Island, so Joey will still be available.”
“I think I am the last person she wants to spend New Year’s Eve with.”
“Dawson, my man, ask her.”
“Nah, looks like it’s just me and Dick Clark this year. Maybe he is willing to listen to my resolution.”
Scene: Dawson’s Room: December 31, 1998, 11:45PM
“Well, I guess it is time, my resolution, this year, is to learn that THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND ME.** I lost Joey because of that. I almost lost Pacey. I need to be more considerate of other people. I can’t sit around pouting that I no longer have Joey. All I need to do for the next year is support my friends and family, and stop whining if something doesn’t go the way that I scripted it. Hell, that last time I went off the script I found the love of my life who was always there.”
Just as Dawson finished, Joey walked through the window, “Hey, Dawson.”
“Joey, what are you doing here?”
“Well, this is a ritual, and I figured, hell Pacey isn’t going to be here, why not?”
Dawson, just smiled.
“Well, I guess it is my turn.”
“What do you mean?”
“For the resolution, I only have five more minutes.”
“But..”
“Dawson, I already heard yours, from out the window.”
Dawson’s mouth dropped.
“Well, my New Year’s Resolution this year is… “
Dawson couldn’t stand it… to paint more… no… to fall in love with Jack… no… to give Dawson a second chance… only in my dreams.
“… to always remember who my friends and loved ones are and to never hurt them. I want to always remember you, Dawson. This year, I want to need you, but I still want to stand on my own two feet, just as long as I have your hand in mine.”
Could this be? She wants me back?
5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Dawson grabs Joey and gives her the most intense kiss ever. Dawson pulls back to the sound of “Should old acquaintance be forgot,” to see a smiling Joey.
“Happy New Year, Dawson”
“Happy New Year, Josephine.”
And with that, Joey shoves Dawson on the bed and starts to tickle him ending with a kiss that lead to many more throughout the remainder of the evening.
**Doesn’t everyone wish Dawson would wake up and realize how right Joey was about this?
