Author's Credits: This is to the Creekers. We sometimes refer to ourselves as the Fabulous Five, cuz that's what we are. Together we posess a strength that is unparallel to any other. Some refer to us as sisters, and I think that is a fairly accurate description. This is for you guys! To Mel, Lisa, Jenn, Ro, and Me! I also have to thank Matt for not letting me get my tatoo finished and for Harvey for understanding about it.

"Who's up for a party?" Pacey blurted out to his friends one afternoon at the Icehouse.
"That was random Pacey! What on earth are you talking about?" Jen asked him incredulously.
"Well, my parents are out of town this week, my sisters are at camp, and Doug is staying with a "friend" in the hills for a few days. So, that leaves me with a house and a pool for at least 3 days!" he said incredibly excited
"Well, I'm always up for a party!" Jen said with a laugh.
"Yeah, me too. I always loved your pool Pacey." Joey said.
"Oh, I'm hurt. You are gonna use me just to get to my pool?"
"Yep!"
"K, I guess I can live with that. You in Dawson?" Pacey asked him begging.
"Sure. When do you wanna meet?"
"Lets say, 7 at my house. I'll go get the munchies, you guys just bring movies, sleeping bags, and swimsuits, K?"
They all agreed and left to get ready.

At the store when Pacey was grabbing bags of chips, cookies and drinks he got an idea. His mind was forming a plan to seduce his most gorgeous friend, Joey. He knew that in his swimsuit he already looked fabulous, but he wasn't sure that Joey would notice. He thought about getting something for his body, a piercing or a tatoo so that she would notice. Ears? no, too early 90's, Eyebrow? too painful. Tongue? appealing, but too difficult to live with. Nipple? far too painful! He thought about the tatoo. He remembered a conversation that he and Joey had had a few days earlier. They had been watching Buffy and had seen Angel's tatoo on his back. They both agreed that they would never want anything that big, but also agreed that a small tatoo could be viewed as sexy, if on the right person and in the right place. Joey said that she would find it attractive for a guy to have something tatooed on his ankle, bicep or shoulder blade. Pacey said that it would be attractive for a girl to have one on her hip, ankle, stomach, shoulder blade, breast, or in the small of her back. Pacey found himself wandering the streets of Capeside until he came across the only tatoo/body piercing parlor in the vicinity. He walked inside and was greeted by a girl of about 17, with shocking pink hair, about 19 piercings on her face and a tatoo encircling her neck in the shape of a necklace. Pacey didn't think twice about it though, he had made up his mind as to what he wanted to do. He told her that he wanted a tatoo on his right shoulder blade. They sat him down in a chair and asked him what he wanted.
Without any thought of the consequences he stated that he wanted a snail with the initials "JP" on it. The artist, Harley, thought he was crazy but obeyed his wishes. An hour later, Pacey left the tatoo parlor with a snail on his right shoulder, he was so happy. He looked at his watch and realized how late he was. He sped back to his house, thankful that the only people who would have given him a ticket were out of town. When he arrived he saw that his friends were already there waiting for him. They were lounging by the pool because they had used their secret entrance from when they were kids. When Pacey walked out onto the deck his mouth dropped. Jen was laying out on a towel in a skimpy black bikini and Joey was propped up on her elbows with her face to the sun completely oblivious to the rest of the world. She was dressed in an emerald green bikini that coordinated perfectly with her deep tan and her brown eyes. It also matched the sunglasses that were perched upon her head. Dawson was lounging in the pool on a raft in a pair of blue swim trunks. Pacey decided to be Pacey and quickly removed his shirt and shoes and dove into the pool, intentionally splashing Joey and Jen.
"PACEY!!!!!!" They screamed in unison.
Dawson and Pacey just laughed. Dawson then swam over, picked up Jen and pulled her into the water. She squealed from the cold but enjoyed the attention that Dawson was giving her. They were still trying to work everything out and were proceeding slowly with their relationship.
Pacey was ecstatic at this because it made Joey available for him. Dawson and Joey had tried dating, but found that they were better off as best friends.
Pacey watched Dawson pull Jen into the water and took it as his cue to do the same to Joey. He swam to the edge of the pool so that he was right next to her and tried to pick her up. She senses him there and says, "Don't even think about it Pacey." He hears the seriousness in her voice and instead splashes her again. This gets her to look up at him when she notices something on his shoulder.
"Pacey, what is that bug thing on your shoulder?" she asked frightened that it was actually alive.
"Jo, it's just a tatoo. I had it done a couple hours ago." he said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Why did you get a tatoo? And why a snail with the initials JP on it?" she asked never thinking that those were her initials. Pacey was suddenly embarassed by the fact that he had put a permanent display of his love for Joey on his body so he lied.
"I got a tatoo cuz I'm young and wild, I got a snail cuz when we did that project I really thought they were cool little things and I got JP for my initials Josh Pacey. And, I remembered our convo the other day about how the right tatoo on the right person in the right place can be very sexy."
"Yeah, but Pacey I'm not sure if you are the right person or if that is the right tatoo. The placement is good, it worked for Angel, but I don't quite see you as that kind of guy."
His heart fell but he never accepted the rejection.

When Jen and Dawson announced that they were gonna go inside to get some drinks Pacey decided that it was time to take some action towards his situation with Joey. He climbed out of the pool, walked over to the diving board and performed a perfect swans dive into the pool. Even Joey was impressed by it because she knew how many hours Pacey spent out here swimming laps and perfecting his dives, it was one of the few things he enjoyed. Joey suddenly noticed though, that Pacey didn't come back up from his dive. A surge of panic rushed through her body and the adrenaline caused her to dive into the pool without a second thought. She swam to the bottom, grabbed Pacey around the neck and pulled him up and out of the water. She remembered her training as a camp counseler and quickly went through the steps of CPR. She was forced to do mouth-to-mouth on him. After a split second of hesitation she put her mouth on top of his and blew air into his lungs. She did this twice before she felt Pacey's lips press on hers, his tongue slide into her mouth and his hand on the back of her head pulling her down onto him. She realized what he had just done and pulled away from him. She slapped him across the face and he flew backwards into the pool, hitting his head on the side as he fell. She turned around and noticed that once again, he didn't emerge from the water.
She thought he was kidding and didn't make a move to save him. Then, after another few seconds she noticed him just lying on the bottom of the pool and dove in once again to save him. She again pulls him up and out of the water and sees that he isn't breathing. She does mouth to mouth on him again and gets him to start breathing again. She asks him how he feels and he says, "I'm sorry Jo. I don't believe I did that." She feels her anger melt away and realizes how scared she was of losing him. Deep down, she loved him and really enjoyed that kiss. She also realized that the snail and the JP that Pacey had scarred his body with were for her and only for her.
"Shh, Pacey it's ok. I understand why you did it. Thank you. No one has ever done so much to impress me. I mean the tatoo, the dive, the kiss....thank you."
He leaned over and kissed her again, this time she didn't pull away. They rolled back into the pool and were joined underwater in a perfect, heartmelting kiss.

THE END!
