Becoming Friends By Carol

Disclaimer ~ I wish they mine, but they aren’t. All the characters belong to Kevin Williamson, the WB, and other lucky people.

Author’s Note ~ I decided to write a story about Joey and Jen’s friendship (or lack of). Since no one else has written one I decided try it. This is my first attempt at a fanfic so it’ll probably suck. Takes place after the season finale. Anyway, on with the fanfic.

Joey was working again. But her mind was somewhere else. The kiss Dawson and her shared. She didn’t know if he just did it because he wanted to make her stay or if he really liked her. She needed to talk to some one to talk to. Dawson was out of the question. Pacey was out of town. They only person she talks to is Jen.

‘I guess she’s my only choice. I’ll call and tell her to come by later.’

“ Hello?”

“Hi Jen. It’s Joey. I was wondering if you can come by to the Icehouse later.”

“Why? Is anything wrong?”

“No. I just need someone to talk to.”

“Okay. I’ll be there in a hour. Bye.”

“Bye.”

~*~A hour later~*~

Jen walked into the Icehouse and took a seat. Joey saw her and told Bessie she is taking a break. She sat across from Joey.

“Hey Jen.”

“Hey Joey. What’s up?”

“Last night, Dawson kissed me.”

“Really? That’s great and it’s about time. ”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I think he did it for the wrong reason. I think he did it because he doesn’t want me to leave for France, not because he likes me. I don’t know what to do.”

“I would go to France. I mean it’s a great opportunity. It’s not everyday you get an offer to go. And you can see if Dawson really loves you. When you come back and if he kisses you and there are fireworks, then you know that you leaving isn’t the reason he kissed you. But if he doesn’t kiss you and acts like nothing never happened, well then you know he only kissed you so you won’t leave.”

“Yeah. I guess that’s true.”

“You know what I think? I think he did do it because he loves you.”

“Why do you say that.”

“The night of the beauty pageant, I asked if we could have another chance. He turned me down. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why. He was thinking of you. You could tell.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I think I’ll go to France. I mean if he really loves me and what you say is true, he’ll wait.”

“Good. You should go tell Dawson.”

“Okay.”

“Joey?”

“Yeah.”

“I like this. I mean us talking. Like we’ve been friends forever.”

“Yeah me too.”

“You better go and tell him.”

“Okay. See ya.”

Joey walks out and a few seconds later she walks in again.

“You know what, Dawson can wait. We should go see a movie. Just you and me. No Dawson or Pacey. A girl thing.”

“If you’re sure.”

“Of course I am. Let’s go.”

“Okay.

“I believe it’s a start of a beautiful friendship.”

They laughed and talked all the way there. Like old friends.

The End

Author’s Second Note ~ I want feedback. Good or bad (It’ll probably be bad). I can take it. If you e-mail me something bad, I’ll probably ignore it. If I get positive feedback, I might write other fanfics for DC. Bye for now!!
