Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
by Alison

Jen woke up at about 10 am, she had a class at 11 that day. Looking around she saw that Abby had already left for her 9 am class and that Joey was sleeping peacefully. She loved college life. Jen, Abby and Joey all shared an apartment at The University of Boston. Joey was a political science major, abby a fashion design major and Jen an art history major. Dawson and Pacey lived across campus and they were all still the best of friends. Jen looked at her calendar and saw that tonight was Abby's birthday, a secret she had desperately been trying to keep. Jen had other ideas. She picked up the phone and dialed the Purple Star, the best dance club around.

"Hello?" a voice answered.

"Hey Shelly. It's Jen. One of my friends birthday tonight and I want to throw her a surprise party. Think you can help me out?"

"Well, tonight Fuel and Athenaeum are gonna be here, but I think I can get you the room upstairs for a few hours."

"Really? Fuel and Athenaeum are playing? Perfect!!! Thanks Shelly, you are the best. I owe you."

Jen hung up the phone, called a caterer and then ran to her computer. She printed up a flier advertising the party, entrance by invitation only, and ran to Kinko's on her way to class. After class she found Joey and they went to distribute the fliers. Since Dawson and Abby had recently broken up and it was still a sore subject, the girls decided to just have a girls night out. By 5 pm, all the plans had been set. Everyone knew about the party, everyone except Abby. Jen put on a black skirt, a hot pink shirt and a black leather jacket over it. She put sandals on her feet, a swipe of mascara and lipstick and she was ready. Joey walked out of her room wearing a short red dress that was sure to attract attention. She wore her hair up and had heels on her feet making her stand close to six feet tall. Abby walked out of her room dressed in plaid pajamas.

"Abby!!! Didn't you get my note? We are going to a party at the Purple Star for some girls birthday tonight. You have to come!" Jen said exasperated.

"Why should I celebrate the birthday of someone I don't even know?"

"You do know her, she was in your fashion history class last semester." Joey lied.

"Fine, I'll go. But it doesn't mean I have to enjoy it."

She walked out 15 minutes later wearing a black dress and a little bit of makeup. They climbed into Joey's car and headed for the club. When they got there, the place seemed almost empty.

"Great Jen, we are coming to a party that no one shows up for. How lame are we?" Abby commented.

All of a sudden the lights went out. When they came back on the room was filled and everyone shouted "SURPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!"

Abby stared at them in shock. She had been set up. Abby Morgan, queen of cons, had been set up. She realized that all of these people were her friends and felt an enormous amount of love encompass her. She quickly hugged Jen and Joey and began to work her way around the room accepting hugs and happy birthday wishes from everyone. After a few minutes, Athenaeum took the stage and played "What I Didn't Know" and "Flat Tire". Then Fuel joined them onstage and the two lead singers did an acoustic version of "Happy Birthday Baby" for Abby. Tears formed in her eyes and at the end they invited her onstage. She hugged both of them and stepped up to the microphone. Not usually being shy, she found herself speechless. Eventually the words came to her.

"Wow. Thank you. Everyone. I never realized how many people I can call my friends, it really means a lot that you all are here. And, I especially want to thank Fuel and Athenaeum. I know they are here for a concert and not just to celebrate my birthday, but it still means a hell of a lot. And most, I have to thank my two best friends. Thank you Joey and Jen, you guys are the best friends in the world! And, having said all that....Let's party!!!!" she jumped offstage and began dancing with a guy she knew. She had the best night of her life. Jen and Joey were having fun as well, being single sure had it's perks. They flirted incessantly with every guy in the place, loving the attention they were receiving. At the end of the night, the girls went home and had an old fashioned sleepover in the middle of their apartment. They watched Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt movies, ate popcorn, had pillow fights, talked about guys, and reminisced to their adolescent days back in Capeside. Then, they fell asleep, totally content with life.

The End!
