Credit as always goes to the kick ass people at the WB, Kevin Williamson, Columbia Tristar Television and Sony Productions not to mention to the actors themselves. By now, everyone should know that I'm making no money off of these stories, I'm just borrowing the characters to play with for a little while, I will return them all in perfect condition when I'm done, well maybe not Pacey. He may get a little bruised in the fight for him between Me, Mel and Lisa. For this particular story, I also have to disclaim (is that a word?) all the characters of Armageddon although God knows I would love to own Ben Affleck! Credit for the movie goes to Jerry Bruckheimer Productions and to a whole bunch of other people that I don't know cuz i'm not obsessed with Armageddon!

I also have to thank the coolest people in the world. To Lisa, Ro, Jenn and Mel for doing exactly what you do best, and for always being there for early mornings, stressful days, and late nights.

"Hey Jo!" Pacey said waking Joey from her peaceful daydream.
"What Pacey? The point of laying out is to get tan and to just lay here. What do you want?"
"Well, Jo because you mean so much to me I thought it was my duty to inform you of the fact that you are rapidly turning into a lobster. Hand me the suntan lotion and let me make it feel better."
"And why should I believe that it is just my skin you are concerned about protecting? I know you better than that! I know that running through your mind right now is the thought of you pouring lotion all over my body and rubbing it in as some sick form of foreplay." she said, peering at him through her dark sunglasses.
"Because you know me too well. And actually, at the moment the thought that is running through my mind was this." Pacey responded kissing her with intense passion.
They made out for a little while and then Joey broke the kiss.
"Now, the thought is running through my mind!" Pacey exclaimed.
He reached over her and grabbed the bottle of lotion. He squeezed some into his hands and rubbed them together. Joey moved her hair away from her shoulders so that Pacey could apply the suntan lotion to her back and neck.
Long after the lotion was rubbed in he continued massaging her neck. She closed her eyes and sighed contently at her life. Pacey began gently kissing her neck, leaving a trail of kisses up to her ear and then over to her lips. He tried to deepen the kiss and roll on top of her and Joey had other ideas. She casually rolled away from him causing him to roll with her. The next thing Pacey knew, he was in the pool.
"Hey! What was that for?" he demanded.
"I thought you might need a cold shower, and this was the closest thing!" she said with a sweet smile.
"That's it!" he said as he picked her up and pulled her into the pool with him.
They played around in the pool for a while before deciding to discuss their plans for the evening.
"So, Pacey what do you want to do tonight?"
"Well, I was thinking maybe we could catch a flick at the Rialto. Armageddon's playing."
"Oooh, Ben Affleck, he is gorgeous, much better than anyone I know!"
"You are asking for it!" he said as he dunked her in the pool.
She came up laughing and finally managed to say, "Fine, I'm in."
"You want Dawson and Jen to come along?" he asked her concerned. She still wasn't comfortable with the thought of Dawson with Jen, but was slowly becoming accustomed to it.
"Sure, that's fine. I would prefer it just be the two of us, or perhaps just the three of us, but I guess Wonderbra can come too."
They slowly got out of Pacey's pool, called Dawson and Jen and said goodbye with a long kiss, planning to meet at Dawson's at 6:30.

At 6:20 Dawson and Pacey were sitting in Dawson's room talking about their girlfriends.
Unbeknownst to them, Joey was standing at the bottom of the ladder listening, while Jen was standing in the hall listening as the guys were talking about them.
Being typical 15 year old guys, the conversation quickly turned to sex.
Both Joey and Jen decided that it was time to make their presence known to avoid an embarassing situation. They all walked to the Rialto and the guys paid for their girlfriends tickets. Since they were early, they were still able to get good seats. The lights dimmed and the movie started.
Partway through the movie, Dawson noticed how comfy Pacey and Joey were. They were snuggling closely and Pacey was gently biting Joey's neck causing her to giggle. Dawson couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy. He had feelings for Joey, feelings he couldn't deny no matter how much he liked Jen. He went back to watching the movie.
"......an asteroid the size of Texas is coming towards Earth Mr. President. It will hit in 18 days. It is what we call total tragedy. Nothing could be saved......"
Jen noticed Dawson, noticing Joey. She took the opportunity to remind him that she was his.
"Don't they look cute together?" she asked a bit smugly.
"Oh yeah, adorable."
They went back to watching the movie again for a while. All four of them were interested in the scene appearing on the screen. It was the infamous Animal Cracker scene that they had all heard about.
"Hey Jo! What do you say after the movie we run to a convenience store and go grab some animal crackers? I think we should try that!" Pacey told her grinning uncontrollably.
"Maybe later." she whispered to him trying not to be obvious.
Apparantly, he was happy with her reaction because he gave her a quick kiss and turned his eyes back to the screen.
Suddenly, they all felt something shake under them. They looked up at the screen to see an image of a fiery asteroid speeding toward Earth at an alarming rate.
"Oh my god, Asteroid!!!!!!!" Jen screamed terrified.
"Jen, there isn't an asteroid. It's just a movie." Joey told her, while not completely convinced herself.
The theater was still shaking for a few minutes and they were all thrown to the floor. Pacey was protecting Joey the best he could, Dawson doing the same to Jen. Terrified that the end of the world was upon them they all huddled close together and just prayed for help. Eventually, the shaking stopped. They slowly rose from their pile on the floor and surveyed the building. The screen was ripped, some of the seats had come loose and were laying in the aisle and there were bodies shuddering everywhere.
Since, there was only one screen in the tiny theater everyone that worked their came in to check on the audience. They asked everyone if they were ok, and fortunately there were no serious injuries, just a few scraps and bruises. The manager then looked outside and found the entire main street was a wreck. There was a tree going through the door of the Rialto making it impossible for anyone to leave. They then checked the back entrance, as well as, the emergency exits. Unfortunately, they were all blocked. Some had cars in front of them, some small fires, mostly large pieces of debris.
The manager came back in and said, "I have some bad news. We are all blocked in for the remainder of the night. The fire station is on the other end of town and it will be hours before they reach us. So, everyone please remain calm and try and find someplace comfortable to sit. Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Jen all looked at each other and shrugged. They walked around looking for someplace comfy and finally decided on a corner in the lobby. Pacey sat down and held out his arms, motioning for Joey to come sit on his lap. She did and he wrapped his arms protectively around her. Dawson hated this picture, but realized that he needed to do the same thing for Jen. She curled up in his lap and immediately fell asleep from a mixture of fear and exhaustion. Eventually, Joey fell asleep as well. Dawson and Pacey were left sitting there with their girlfriends peacefully sleeping in their laps.
"So..." Dawson said trying to make conversation, but not really having anything to say.
"So..." Pacey said trying to accomplish the same thing.
"How are things with Joey?"
"Good. I guess. Sometimes I feel as though my relationship with her is just too good and I'm gonna wake up and she will be gone. She's off married to you and she still thinks I'm the designated loser of our sleepy little town."
As he said these words, the lyrics from the theme to Armageddon popped into his head.

I could stay awake just to hear your breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While your far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
Cuz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cuz even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Laying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me your seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

Chorus

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For the rest of time
Baby, baby

Chorus

Cuz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

The song fit his life perfectly. He was so happy with Joey, but so unsure if she really loved him or if she still had a thing for Dawson. Pacey decided to ask Dawson how he felt.
"Hey Dawson?"
"Yeah Pace?"
"How do you feel about Joey?"
"What do you mean how do I feel about Joey? She is my best friend, she knows me better than anyone else in the entire world."
"OK, I've heard that answer about sixteen billion times. Now, I want the real one. I saw you watching us. I know you still have a thing for Joey and I think it's only fair that we get it out into the open. Do you want Joey?"
"Pacey, I love Joey. I've loved Joey since we were six years old and she kissed me on the way home from school. But, if she is happy with you, then I'm happy for her. And, I still like Jen."
"OK, then according to my calculations we have two guys in love with one girl, and one guy still having feelings for his current girlfriend. Then, as I see it, Joey has to choose between us. I know it's incredibley unfair, but we have to know who she loves."
"Yeah, I guess you are right Pacey."
They slowly woke the two girls up and told them that they needed to talk. Both Pacey and Dawson professed their love for Joey and Dawson told Jen that he still had feelings for her as well. Joey stared at both of them for a long time. She couldn't believe that they were making her choose who she loved. Eventually, an answer came into her head from her heart. She knew who she loved.
"Guys, I just feel that it is only right to tell you who I love without trying to not hurt the other cuz I know that is inevitable. So I'm just gonna say it. I love..."

THE END

That is the end of my story, it will not ever be continued. Most of you are wondering why Joey never chose. Well, for one main reason. I couldn't bear to hurt my friends. They are constantly making me choose how to write my stories cuz half of them are D/J fans and the other half are P/J fans and this was the only way I could come up with to not have to deal with it. This story contained parts of both. Now, I'm not complaining about you trying to make me write D/J or P/J stories, I love watching the little fights, I just decided to be fair! So, Mel, Jenn, Ro and Lisa don't kill me, K?
