Scene: Sunday morning - Joey’s house

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Joey: Come in! (Joey was inside making her breakfast. It was a beautiful sunny day and Joey was in the mood of going out)

Pacey: It’s me!

Joey: Oh Pacey. What brings you to this side of the creek? I thought you would be sick of me after yesterday. (Pacey smiled)

Pacey: Well actually I was forced to come. This young beautiful female tormented me all night.

Joey: Oh yeah so who would that be then. (Joey felt a tingle inside. She loved it when Pacey talked to her like that. It made her feel special. This was what she had wished Dawson would have done when he was around her. )

Pacey: I don’t know she was tall and beautiful. I guess she couldn’t live here then. I mean unless you know someone who fits that description.

Joey: Thanx a lot. Why is Pacey being so nice even though the last remark wasn’t very nice?

Pacey: Well I was thinking maybe I could take you out, Its such a beautiful day and I didn’t want to waste it at home. (Joey looked surprised) I mean we could do some study there too. (Pacey quickly added the last remark after seeing Joey’s response. He didn’t want her to say no so he was trying to look very sincere.)

Joey: Well, I’ve got the whole day of so lets go.

(Pacey had his father’s car and had prepared a picnic for the day. He had everything planned out. Pacey had been thinking and had realised his feelings for Joey. He had fallen for her and he had to admit it. He didn’t want to ruin his friendship with her so he decided to take it slow. He really wanted Joey to like him.)

Joey: So where are we going?

Pacey: Well. (Pacey said in his best English accent) First I have planned a fun filled afternoon at the beach. The we return home to the ruins for a picnic. And to top it of you have perfect company all day. (Joey smiled)

He is so sweet, why has he done all of this? Duh. Joey why else does someone do that? Because they like you.

Pacey: I just wanted to thank you for tutoring me and lying to Dawson. So what better way than to have fun myself as well as thank you.

OK, he’s doing it to thank me. What was I thinking why would Pacey like me? I mean in that way anyway. Why am I so bothered.? I am not falling for Pacey. Look it’s not realistic. Just stick to having fun, Joey, and nothing else. Although that’s going to be hard with gorgeous Pacey siting here... Gorgeous! Pacey! What are you thinking Joey...?

Pacey: Joey! Joey! Earth to Joey. (Joey had been very silent while she was thinking and didn’t even realise that she was staring at Pacey so obviously.) Joey why are you staring at me?

Joey: Huh.. Oh sorry I was just looking at .. um nothing.

Pacey: OK we’re nearly there.

Scene: Jen’s House

(Dawson knocks on the door then after a few minutes Jen’s grandmother answer the door)

Dawson: Hi. Is Jen in?

Grams: Hello Dawson. I’m afraid Jen is a bit busy.Dawson: OK can you tell her….

Jen: ...Who is it Grams? (Jen spots Dawson and is surprised to see him) Oh Dawson it’s you.

Dawson: Yeah. Um.. hi Jen. I was wondering if we could talk?

Jen: Sure! (Jen looks at grams who give Jen a look of suspicion and turns to go inside.

Dawson: Can we go for a walk.

Jen: OK. Grams I’m going for a walk I won’t be long.

(Dawson and Jen silently walked over to the docks. Jen was wondering what Dawson was going to say, even though she knew it had to be something about what Jen had told Dawson earlier. As Jen was walking her stomach was in knots. When the got to the docks they sat down and then Dawson broke the silence.)

Dawson: So, how are you?

Jen: I’m fine (Jen was a bit angry Dawson was taking so long)

Dawson: What have you been doing?

Jen: Look, Dawson I’m sure you didn’t want to see me just to ask how I am so can you get to the point.

Dawson: Well, (Dawson took a deep breath) It’s like this. I like you but I don’t think I’m ready for anything really serious so I was thinking maybe we should go out on a few dates and see how it goes. It won’t be anything exclusive so we will still date other people. (Dawson took another deep breath)

Jen: Sure. (Jen was a bit disappointed and Dawson could tell)

Dawson: I’m sorry that’s all I’m really ready for. But we can see how it goes right?

Jen: Look it’s fine. (Jen was starting to cheer up. Well it’s a start. she thought) OK there’s a new movie coming out on Friday we can start by going there right?

Dawson: Sure that’ll be great

Scene: Pacey and Joey on the Beach

(Pacey had already spent 3 hours at the beach they had eaten ice cream, lay on the beach and played around with each other.

(Joey was looking for a sweet or something in Pacey’s bag when she came upon a red book

Joey: What’s this? (She held up the book and saw Pacey’s expression turn very scared)

Pacey: Nothing, it’s private. (Pacey put his hand out to get the book but Joey pulled away.) Please, Joey give it to me.

Joey: What’s so special. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind if I took a peek. (Joey was just teasing but Pacey was getting annoyed.) have you got your deepest darkest secrets in here or something? (Pacey’s expression turned very serious)

Pacey: No! (he said very bluntly) Just give it to me Joey!

Joey: You gotta catch me first! (Joey ran off and Pacey quickly followed. He caught up with her and managed to get her onto the floor. Pacey was lying on top of Joey and the book was in Pacey’s hand now. Joey was laughing very out of breath. When she got a hold of herself. It was silent. Even though there were a lot of people around. Pacey and Joey felt like they were the only ones in the world. Slowly their heads got closer together and the kissed. It was a long passionate kiss. Nobody could tell who kissed who. They both wanted it so much. When the kiss broke Pacey lay on top of Joey for a second realising what had just happened, then he quickly stood up)

Pacey: Sorry!

(Joey looked at Pacey and smiled. She wanted that kiss to happen just as much as he did. Pacey put his hand out to lift Joey. She took it and pulled him down again. This time they were lying next to each other but no one said anything.)

(Joey had been thinking and decided she would like to explore her feelings for Pacey. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and then got up.)

Pacey: I think we should head back.

Joey: OK (Joey was a bit upset she expected more from him but the day wasn’t over yet.)


OK I know this part is short too but I decided to keep each part short and have loads of parts. I think this way I can get the parts to you sooner.
