"Remind me again how you got me to watch this incredibly sappy chick flick?" Dawson asked Joey in utter disgust.
"Dawson, I have agreed to watch a Speilberg movie of your preference every single other movie night, I think you can deal with this one." Joey replied with just as much distaste.
"But did it have to be EVER AFTER??"
"Shut up before I punch you!"
"Like you could ever, ever beat the great DAWSON LEERY!!" Dawson shouted while standing on his bed.
Dawson looked sooo silly like that Joey thought quietly to herself. They always had this kind of fight, and usually Joey gave into him before things got physical. Tonight though, she wanted a challenge!
"Oh yeah?" Dawson shot back.
"YEAH! Just watch me!" Joey pounced on top of Dawson, catching him completely by surprise. They wrestled on his bed for a couple of minutes, and finally Dawson got Joey in a position so he was lying directly on top of her...suddenly everything became silent. This can't happen again, Joey thought! I just can't! I broke up with Dawson for a reason... Meanwhile, Dawson was gazing at Joey...and the only thought that could enter into his mind was: SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! No, Dawson he said to himself.... You promised you would give her the space she wanted. Don't do this to yourself. Suddenly, it all didn't matter anymore. All doubts and worries faded and slipped silently away from both their minds; and all they could think about was how badly they each wanted one another. Outside, a crack of lightning struck, and they were silent for a moment. Then suddenly, it was like they were the only two people on the planet, the whole world revolved around their kiss. After some seconds of majorly kissing Joey pulled away...bewildered and scared. Dawson watched Joey step away from him, as in shock of what had just happened.
"Dawson... I have to go." She had to get out of there, her mind told her. She had to be anywhere but near the guy she loved, Dawson Leery.
"Jo, I'm sorry, I didn't- I mean--I" Dawson desperately grasped at words, trying to find the right way to tell Joey how he felt. He just couldn't let her get away again, he couldn't!
"I know...I understand. But I have to go now." Joey climbed out of Dawson's window and down the ladder, never looking back once. As she ran, Dawson heard her sobs go quietly through the night air.

Chapter 2
The sun was shining brightly into Dawson's room. He sighed gratefully, knowing that the whole weekend lay in front of him.
"Now what to do?" Dawson wondered to himself. Pacey was working all day at the video store, and Jen was going into the city for the weekend. And Joey... he smiled as all the memories and remembrances of last night came crawling back to him. All he could picture was holding Joey in his arms, and their amazing kisses. What would happen to them now? Should he make the next move and call her up... probably? But he didn't want to push her, he knew if he cornered her too hard he would lose her forever. That's how they broke up last time. But things wouldn't be like that IF they did get back together...he knew he had to see her, and settle things once and for all.
Meanwhile... Joey sat up in bed, awakened by her dreams. During the night she had had tons of dreams, all about Dawson. One was them just kissing like they did last night, another was them on their wedding day. She had several more like that, before the last dream. It was about how she and Dawson had lost touch over the years, and how they weren't even friends anymore. The thought of that made up her mind more than anything, when she saw how terrible life would be without him.
"Oh geez it is only 6:00. Damn it Dawson, I can't stop thinking about you. Your beautiful green blue eyes, those luscious lips and that vibrant blond hair." Just the thought of last nights events made Joey feel all quivery and shaky, as if she couldn't believe it was true. Oh how getting back together would just be sooo easy, Joey thought. What is the problem why can't you just let your life take its own course? Stop trying to control everything. If Dawson is what you want then go get him. Half the fight is knowing what you want. Why what? Question is should I call or not. Maybe he doesn't want to get back together; maybe I am pushing him? I don't know anymore! I have to see for myself before I let myself get worked up over anything though. Joey picked up the phone to call Dawson.
"Busy! Who is he calling at 6:00 in the morning.......probably Jen to wish her farewell when she stays in NY." She knew it, she just knew Dawson wasn't serious about their relationship, she knew he really loved Jen. But Dawson wasn't like that she thought! Maybe she should try again and give him another chance.
"Damn it Joey who could you possibly want to call at 6:00 in the morning!! I need to talk to you!!" Dawson had just tried calling Joey and had gotten a busy signal. "I need to see her." Dawson thought to himself. At the same time, Joey was thinking the same thing. No matter what a jerk Dawson was, (which she hoped he wasn't), she needed to talk to him.
10 MINUTES LATER...they both are in the middle of the lake, Joey in her rowboat and Dawson in his speedboat. As they come closer, they see one another and Dawson quickly rides over to her.
"Joey!! I was just going to go and see you, your line was busy!" Gosh Joey looked amazing this morning. Even in her pajamas she looked like a goddess to him.
"Same here." Dawson, Joey pleaded silently, I hope this was all just a misunderstanding, cause I want you so bad. Suddenly, Dawson became very nervous, and had a terrified look on his face.
"I think we need to talk. I have but only one question. Am I pushing you and do you really want to do this again? Sorry, that was two questions. But seriously just tell me if you still love me and you want to be with me. I need to know before we start from the beginning again." God that was hard to say Dawson thought. And boy, was his heart racing. He needed to be with Joey, it was the only way of living. He just hoped it wasn't too late for them. Joey beamed silently inside. So that's what had been bugging him!
"Let me put it this way......I don't ever want you to think that you are pushing me to far. In fact you are the sweetest guy on earth and I know that you would never want to hurt me ever."
Dawson grinned as he tied his boat to hers, and stepped inside the rowboat. He leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips, and she immediately responded. They sat in the middle of the creek making out, just enjoying each others warmth on the cold Saturday morning. Pretty soon though, Dawson's watch beeped, which meant they had been outside in the middle of the lake for an hour! Geez, Dawson thought, so this is what they mean by a wake up kiss! A few minutes later he stood up and held Joey's hand.
"Joey, would you like to accompany me for a very romantic breakfast for two at the cafe by the dock?"
"I would love to." Joey leaned up and kissed Dawson on the cheek.
"Terrific."

Chapter 3
(Cut to Pacey in the video store, talking to himself.)
Pacey: "God this job is boring on a Saturday morning no one returns videos on a Saturday because they haven't watched them yet. They rent them Friday night to watch them on Saturday besides Dawson. Oh...speak of the Devil." As he was talking to himself, someone had walked in... Dawson Leery himself. With Joey tagging along...oh this could be good Pacey thought to himself!
"Hello my friend, here is my video returned." Dawson said grinning.
"Did I not call that!" Pacey muttered under his breath.
"What was that?" Dawson looked at Pacey as if seeing him for the first time all day, and looked as if Pacey was acting crazy.
"Forget about it Dawson...did you like it?"
"Pacey, don't you know me better it wasn't a Speilberg film. I never like anything BUT Speilberg films."
"I figured." Pretty soon, Pacey realized that while he and Dawson were talking, Joey had been wandering around the video store just avoiding him.
"Joey, get over here!" Dawson called. "Pacey, I would like you to be the first to know that me and Joey (holding Joey's hand) are officially back together (kisses her hand.)"
"Well, may I be the first to congratulate you! It took long enough for you guys to get together in the first place, but after that nasty breakup I am glad you both have come to your senses." And he really was happy for them, I mean, this was Dawson and Joey! He had known from the beginning those two were meant to be, it just bugged him that they had their whole life going, which he was stuck in nowhere land with NO girlfriend.
"Thank you! We are going out to breakfast, see you later...are we still on for movie night tonight?" Dawson questioned Pacey.
"Yeah...I am still trying to find a date, maybe I will get lucky today." Yeah right Pacey thought, nothing good ever happens to him.
"See ya tonight Pacey...come on Dawson, my stomach is starting to growl." Joey said suddenly, with a big wild grin on her face. Pacey watched as the boyfriend and girlfriend hand in hand left the store, wondering if he would ever find his soulmate.
20 MINUTES LATER...
Dawson and Joey are sitting in a coffee shop, both together on one really oversized chair. They are smushed together, but happy to finally be a couple again.
"It is great to have you back Jo....." Dawson murmured into Joey's ear. "I missed you."
"Well, I missed you too Dawson!" Joey have him a quick kiss on the lips.
"So what's on the menu today.....?" Dawson asked as he handed Joey a menu.
"Don't look at me I am not the waiter!!"
"Yeah Yeah Yeah.....Garcon! I think that means waiter, or boy, or something like that."
"What kind of a word is that!?!?" Even thought Dawson used a lot of big words, Joey had never heard that word come out of his mouth.
"It's French... Spielberg used it in his first movie."
"Yeah, yeah...it's always French words that seem to stump me. Funny though, cause right I could be in France right now." Joey didn't even want to picture that seen. She was sooo glad that she hadn't made the biggest mistake of her life; leaving Dawson and going to France.
"Forget about going to France Jo, because right now your not gong anywhere!" Dawson leaned in for a kiss. They both put their arms around each other. However while their makeout session was going on, the waiter had come to take their order and it just happened to be... Chris Wolfe. As he watched Dawson and Joey in amusement, Dawson looked up and saw Chris standing there, just watching them. He nudged Joey and they both turned to Chris quickly, mortified that one of Capeside's biggest jerks has just found out about their recent coupledom.
"Ehem.... if it isn't too much trouble on your part...can I take your order?" Chris said smiling.
"Um.....oh my god um.....Hi Chris...when did you get this job?" Joey turned bright red as she tried to answer Chris's question without losing complete control of the situation.
"Hi Chris." Dawson said, blushing as well.
"Hello, I didn't even recognize you two. When did you two get back together? Finally, it took ya only 16 years!!" Chris smirked as he noted their embarrassment.
"Just last night." Joey stated, just a little bit too quickly.
"When did you get the job here?" Dawson asked again, trying to change the subject.
"Well, I saw the help wanted sign in the window a few days ago talking about some help. So I decided what the hell, even if it is boring, it will still always be better than working at...what's the name of your place again Joey? The FreezeBoat?
"Bite me Chris. So anyway what are you going to get Dawson? Dawson???" Joey glanced at her boyfriend, who looked like he was coming out of a daze.
"Yeah! Sorry Jo...um I'll get some scrambled eggs and toast." Dawson quickly decided.
"And you Joey?"
"I guess I'll have some French toast. She glanced subtly over at Dawson, and exchanged some quick private smiles and glances, as they recalled the last time French toast was an issue.
"Coming right up..." Chris walked away, every few seconds just glancing back to see if they were watching him.
"Well, that was a pleasant surprise." Dawson said sarcastically.
"Oh, yeah, Dawson...just peachy keen. I am still kinda in a little daze from that overly amazing smooch that we just had. I like being back together. I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I know that when we were friends you didn't really feel any chemistry and for years it really bugged me. Did you know that you are soooo oblivious to everything around you!?!?! Pacey even knew about my feelings for you. May I personally congratulate you on your efforts in finally figuring out that you actually have feelings for me after knowing me for 16 fun-filled years of being my best friend," it was true Joey thought, Dawson was really completely oblivious to anyone besides himself? He always believed that his life was some perfect little film...boy was he ever wrong.
"Yes, Joey, I know that even Pacey knew that you had feelings for me. In fact he told me on several different occasions that you loved me. I never believed him. Jo, I was scared that he was just Joshing' with me." Dawson said seriously, while glancing worriedly at Joey.
"I know, he told me so many times that he told you and every time I hit him for it. You have to figure things out for yourself, as you always tell me. So for 16 years, I let you figure it out.....thank god you finally figured it out. Dawson, I have loved you and I mean truly loved you since the day that we started Junior High. That was the day that I knew that I truly loved you and always would." Joey had always known that she and Dawson shared some special bond since they became friends back in elementary school, but she never had quite figured out what that had meant until they had hit 7th grade.
"Joey, I am so sorry that I had you wait for such a long time. I love you to and I have known you for such a long time that any way of thinking of liking you has already crossed my mind. I now know that I really and truly love you more than any kiss could say." Joey looked over at Dawson, as if just checking that he truly meant what he said. Dawson looked so sad whenever he and Joey were arguing, and Joey could always tell when he was telling the truth. And he was this time.
"Oh really?" Joey said flirtatiously. Both their heads moved in and both murmured random replies. Joey dramatically put her hand at the back of Dawson's and started to fondle with the hairs at the nape of his neck. Dawson wrapped his strong, muscular arms around her body and pushed her into him. As things started to heat up, Dawson began to analyze the situation and suddenly, they both pull away saying...
"WE ARE IN A PUBLIC PLACE!!!" Both look around very suspiciously and think.....What were we thinking? Joey looks at Chris......he is working away, untouched by the situation that just happened. Joey looks over at Dawson, who is smiling ever so slightly, before she finally relaxed and let out a laugh. Whenever she was with Dawson, she never knew what would happen next.
Chapter 4
(Back to Pacey at the video store)
"This is boring, this is boring, lalala....lalala...... ugh, god, I wish Dawson hadn't quit working at this boring place. I mean, before it was barely bearable now I am gonna die working here all the time. Suddenly, Pacey was cut off when he heard the bell chime in as someone walked into the store. Pacey didn't even bother to look up and see who the person who had just entered this whole of doom was.
"Yippee, another one of Capeside's residents preaching to me about what an embarrassment I am to my perfect family... I get enough of it at home why---?" Pacey stopped his rambling as he saw the figure standing in front of him. A girl had walked up to the front desk where Pacey was slouching. He immediately straightened up when he saw her. The girl had shoulder-length blond hair, with some cute little hair clips in it. She was definitely going for the whole preppy look, and pulling it off very nicely, Pacey thought.
"Hi, I am new in town and I don't really know the whole selection of movies you guys have here...any suggestions?" the girl stumbled nervously, obviously trying to make a killer first impression with Pacey.
"Well, to start off, welcome to Capeside, my name is Pacey, and I didn't quite catch the name that belongs to that lovely face of yours?" The girl was gorgeous Pacey thought ecstatically! And seemed pretty nice, a rarity in attractive women.
"Yeah...um my name is Andie. Thanks for the welcome ... so any suggestions for a Saturday night?" she questioned.Pacey thought quickly, trying to think of a flirtatious way to answer. The only thing he could think of was to say: "Yeah of course I do! Me you, sitting in the movie theater, or a romantic restaurant followed by a midnight walk on the beach..." But of course he didn't, too chicken.
"Um...hello?" Andie stared at him as if he had gone off in a daze.
"Sorry, um how about Casablanca? That's an old-time classic!" Pacey had known girls for a long time, and had grown to figure out the girl's personality just by her style, or the way she talked: Andie was defiantly a romantic.
"Isn't that the movie that your supposed to watch with someone your physically attracted to...?" she said quietly.
"Possibly...or you could go for the whole Drew Barrymore Scream type movie, and get freaked out, whichever you choose." Pacey had learned from many years of being best friends with Dawson, the many different types of movies, which were the same, and which were completely different.
"I think I will go for Casablanca, though it will be kind of hard to enjoy since I need to watch it with someone I am physically attracted to..." Andie smiled coolly.
"So you don't find me attractive?" Pacey shot back using his adorable pouting face that always won over the ladies.
"It's 8 'o clock in the morning no teenager in their right mind looks attractive this early!" Andie was amazed, this guy sure didn't waste anytime trying to make the new girl feel right at home: in his arms!
"I personally think you look pretty good for 8 'o clock in the morning..." Pacey stated shyly. And he wasn't lying. Andie was beautiful.
"Nice try scumbag.... even I am not attracted to bad pickup lines!" Ugh, Andie hated it when guys used cheesy 80's pickup lines on her, what did they think? She was a cheerleader with not an ounce of brain in her head?
"But I was serious. Really, I think you are the most beautiful creature to grace my presence on this fine morning." Pacey exclaimed!
"How many people have you actually seen this morning?" Andie asked.
"Not too many, but you are the only one that I can remember, you have been the highlight of my week." Pacey said seriously. Andie blushed. This guy seemed pretty nice, not sleazy as she first thought he was. Maybe she could give him a chance.
"Awww.. how sweet...go on! So what did you say your name was anyway?"
Yes, Pacey thought! I have won her over with my unmistakable charms! "Pacey.... Pacey Witter. My best friend happens to be a movie fanatic, he and his on and off again girlfriend named Joey are having a movie night tonight. We basically just sit around at his house and analyze movies till the crack of dawn. It can be pretty amusing at times. Plus...free popcorn. Do u wanna go with me and we can watch Casablanca or w/e else he has in store for the evening...it would be a nice chance to meet new people..." Pacey said in a nervous rush, astounded he could say the words that he had wanted to say from the minute he had laid eyes on Andie. Andie thought it over quickly.
"I guess so...that would be really nice...so where does this best friend of yours live?"
"Hold on, let me give you the address..." Pacey scribbled something down on a piece of paper. "Give me your phone # and I will call you later and tell you what time to come."
"Great...well I guess I will see you then, thanks again for asking me Pacey." Andie began to walk away from the front desk, forgetting why she had come, and started walking out the front door.
"Anytime...bye." Pacey softly called out, hoping tonight would be perfect.
