-Chapter One-

Take Me Away

Joey slowly opened her eyes, early Sunday morning, after a night filled with passion and love. She gazed at her left hand resting on Pacey's bare chest and couldn't believe there was a wedding band on it. Lying in Pacey's arms she had never felt more safe and content. She had waited her whole life to say 'I do-' to become Mrs. Pacey Witter.

Deciding to get up, Joey carefully got out of bed, praying Pacey wouldn't wake. She stopped suddenly when she heard him groan as he rolled over, but he didn't wake. Relieved, Joey put on her sweats and went to their backyard in front of the creek.

"There it is…" she thought as she stared at the brand-new white sailboat floating by the dock. She was relieved that Doug and Jack were able to get it there last night without Pacey discovering it.

She walked onto the dock and peeked in the window of the small boat she would be spending her honeymoon on. It had been years since she had went sailing with Pacey. After tragically losing his boat their senior year of high school, she couldn't think of a better wedding present for her husband. A sailboat seemed like a nice investment for the newly married couple.

She went back inside their large, six-bedroom home and took a shower. After she got dressed, she grabbed the bags she had packed before the wedding and headed for the boat. She loaded the bags and made sure that everything was organized for their week-long honeymoon down to the Caribbean Islands.

Dawson had originally bought tickets for the couple to go on a cruise, but after Joey told him about the sailboat, he hooked them up with a 3 night stay at a luxurious hotel located on the islands. It was Dawson and Anne's wedding present for the newlyweds. After all, it was the least he could do after enjoying the financial success of producing the hit television show, "The Creek" and the new upcoming movie, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Once Joey made sure everything in the sailboat was in proper order she went back into the house to make breakfast. As she flipped over the blueberry pancakes, she felt the warm embrace of Pacey's arms around her waist.

With a delicate kiss on her cheek, Pacey inquired, "I thought we were going to spend this morning in bed, Mrs. Witter?"

Joey turned around in his embrace and put her arms around his neck, "We were, but our plans have changed sweetheart." And with that she kissed him.

"Wait a sec…" Pacey replied as he pulled away from the warm kisses, "We haven't even been married 24 hours and you are already changing our plans? What's next woman? Are you gonna 'change my plans' to go out drinking next weekend with Jack and Doug? Because I do draw the line at altering my plans to get incredibly drunk and make a fool of myself in front of everyone."

"I'll make a note of that Pace," Joey smirked, "But truly, our plans have changed and I think you are going to be extremely pleased."

Joey reached into her pocket and pulled out a brochure and a key.

"Take a look at our week-long honeymoon, courtesy of my soul-mate and your best friend, Dawson Leery."

Pacey studied the brochure and was impressed, "Very nice… The Caribbean Islands… But I think our dear buddy Dawson forgot one important detail. I don't see any plane tickets included in this overzealous package."

"Oh but that's where you're wrong, Pacey. He didn't forget at all… See, he wanted to send us on this AMAZING cruise, but I told him that would be impossible."

"Impossible? And just why exactly would that be impossible?" Pacey inquired with a raised brow.

"Oh yes my love, it is indeed impossible… If you would have paid attention in Physics, you would have learned that it is impossible to be in two places at once. We can't be on our new sailboat AND on a cruise at the same time."

A bright smile appeared on Pacey's face as he realized she had just said, 'our new sailboat'. He looked like a man who had just found his lost dog after years and years of searching.

Joey placed the key in his hand, "Go look out back. She's all yours!"

With a gleam in his eye he grabbed her by the hand and ran out to the creek where his new sailboat was docked.

"You did this Joey?!" Pacey asked in shock, as he looked over every inch of the boat. "You bought this for me?"

"Hold on there, I never said I bought it just for you. I bought it for us."

In a moment of pure bliss, he picked up Joey and spun her around the dock. All of the beautiful memories of the first time they had gone sailing flooded his mind as he twirled her around. He put her down on the boat and gave her a passionate kiss. He couldn't believe they were going sailing again. He never imagined he would be going sailing again with the woman he loved. The anticipation was overwhelming.

"All right Mrs. Witter…" Pacey began as he joined her on the boat, "No more wasting time…The islands are waiting for us!"

Joey smirked as she watched her husband get the new sailboat ready to go while only dressed in his Daffy Duck boxers. "But aren't you forgetting something? – Like maybe some clothes??"

He began to untie the boat from the dock, trying to ignore her question, but he could still feel her glare from behind.

With a smile and some sweet sarcasm he finally answered in a low tone, "It's not like they would stay on for very long anyways..."

Joey laughed and with that, the couple began their week-long honeymoon, sailing down to the Caribbean Islands.
