***********3 weeks later opening night ************

backstage

'' Pacey there are so many people out there I can't do this ''

'' Joey we have been practicing for 3 weeks you are great you'll be fine''

'' how can you be so calm ''

'' Jo relax ''

'' can I get a kiss for good luck '' Pacey said

She kissed him on the lips.

'' c'mon Joey were on ''

They show little parts of the scene

Joey : '' o Romeo, Romeo ! wherefore art thou Romeo ?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name ;

Or if thou wilt not , be but sworn my love ,

And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Pacey : (aside) Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this ?

Joey : Tis but thy name that is my enemy:

Thou art thyself though not a Montague .

What's Montague ? it is nor hand nor foot ,

Nor arm , nor face , nor any part

Belonging to a man, O , be some other name !

What's in a name ? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

( the camera goes to the audience and is focusing on a man smiling)

Pacey was the best he gave such a good performance .

and here was the last part

Joey : what's here ? a cup closed in my true love's hand ?

Poison , I see hath been his timeless end :

O churl ! drunk all , and left no friendly drop

To help me after ? I will kiss thy lips ;

Haply some poison yet doth hang on them to make with a restorative.

Kisses him

Thy lips are warm

Yea , noise? then I'll be brief O happy dagger!

snatching Romeo's dagger

This is thy sheath;

stabs her self

there rust , and let me die

falls on Romeo's body and dies .

At the end they get up and everybody claps and Pacey and Joey kiss

Dawson and Jen come with flowers '' Pacey and Joey you guys were great ''

then this guy comes up'' may I have a word with Pacey Witter ''

'' yeah ok ''

'' you were great ''

'' thank you ''

'' I'm a director and I'm filming a movie and I want you to be the star''

'' what's the catch ''

'' no catch you just have to move to California ''

'' for how long ''

'' maybe 1 year to 2 years ''

'' can I think about it ''

'' here's my card you have today to decided I'm leaving tonight ''

'' ok thanks ''

Pacey went up to his friends " where's Joey "

" she had to go to the icehouse " Dawson said

" oh yeah she told me to tell you to meet here there tonight" Jen said

" look guys I got this acting job from this director "

Dawson was shocked " what "

" wait a minute " Jen said " what about Joey you can't just leave her"

" if you go when are you leaving "

*************** later at Pacey's house **********

Pacey looked at the card it said Josh Brendan

'' oh Mr. Witter have you made up your mind yet ''

'' yes I have ''

'' and ''

'' I want to go ''

'' great meet me in one hour by the ice house ''

'' ok ''

Pacey packed his cloths in a half an hour

Since he had an half and hour left he thought it was about time he talked to Joey .

He got in his truck and went to Dawson's first he climbed up the window and Jen was there too.

'' hey you guys I just came here to say good-bye ''

'' your leaving ''

'' yeah Dawson it my dream ''

'' I'm going to miss you man ''

'' I'm going to miss you too ''

They hugged you could see the tears in there eyes then he hugged Jen and she started crying

'' stop crying Jen I'll be back someday I won't forget you guys ''

'' I'm sorry but this is too sad ''

'' well I'll write and give you my address and you better tell me who's take's my place as town loser .

'' Pacey your not a loser ''

'' whatever I have to go and say good-bye to Joey I have a feeling its not going to be easy ''

'' I won't ''

'' and Pacey ''

'' yeah Jen ''

'' I told Joey about the offer but she doesn't know if your going ''

'' well actually that makes it easier on me ''

'' see ya ''

'' bye Pacey ''

And with that he left and went into his truck to the icehouse to talk to Joey ''

'' hey Bessie where's Joey ''

'' I saw her walking that way so she probably went to the beach ''

He walked to the beach and saw her sitting there.

He was standing in back of her

'' are you going ''

'' yeah I am ''

There was a long silence

'' can I have this dance '' Joey says

'' there's no music ''

She pulls a radio out of her book bag

He smiles and the song plays as they dance with the moonlight shining on them

Joey's head is on his shoulder

and Joey lifted her head up

'' I love you Pacey ''

'' I love you too Joey ''

'' and I'm so sorr...''

She cut him off and and put her finger on his mouth

'' shh love is never having to say your sorry ''

'' I got to go now ''

his and her head were touching and he was looking and Joey 's tear stained face

He was holding her hand and as he moved farther away there hands separated

**************** 1 week later *************

Jen was at joey's house '' I got to go Joey are you going to be ok ''

Joey was at her worst this was the one of her worst weeks

she never talked to Pacey since that night and everytime she would pick up the phone she couldn't do it she knew if she heard

his voice she would break down .

So she picked up the phone

'' hi I would like to dedicate a song.......

*********** Back in California ********

Pacey was listening to music

the guy on the radio said this next song is dedicated to a Pacey Witter wherever you are, from Joey Potter
