Description: this is a story I have been working on for a while. This is my fifth Dawson's Creek story. I'll writing this as well as Conflicted Love, Love Unrequited, Unlikely Pair and Clueless Affection on here now.

Disclaimer: I may not own the characters but this story is original and from my imagination.

Author's note: this is my fifth try at a Dawson's creek story, be nice to me please. This is a Pacey/Joey fic, my version of how they got together and it is set in season one. Wanted to switch things up for a change and try something different. Enjoy and review thanks

Chapter #1

(Joey's pov)

"I don't get it Bessie, I really don't.", I complain with a frown and an irritated sigh. Dawson might not realize it, but he has been a real jerk lately. He is hung up on his new neighbor, some bosomy blonde from New York named Jen. She hasn't even been here an entire week yet and I already hate her. Jen has Dawson wrapped around her finger. Whenever she is around it's as though I'm suddenly invisible.

"What's that Joe?", ponders Bessie with a chuckle at my rant. Ugh, should I even bother talking to Bessie about this? I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Things might back fire on me if I open up to Bessie about how I have been feeling lately. She will probably only tell me that I am overreacting and that I should give Jen a chance and not be so rough on her.

"What does Dawson see in that blonde bimbo that moved in next door?", I vent with a loud groan before collapsing onto the couch beside Bessie. I thought he was supposed to be different. Dawson isn't different though. He is just like every other over sexed hormonal teenage guy. When Jen first stepped out of that damn cab from New York Dawson started drooling and hasn't stopped since.

"Joey, language! You know, if I didn't know any better I would say that it sounds like you're jealous.", advises Bessie with a knowing glance my way. Oh, please! Bessie couldn't be any further off. I am not jealous of Jen. Why the hell would I be? So Dawson is crazy over her? Why would I have any reason to be envious of Jen? It isn't as though I like Dawson. I just don't see what the big deal is about Jen.

Sighing in defeat, I help Bessie fold laundry," I'm sorry Bess, but it's the truth. Ever since Jen showed up, Dawson has been drooling all over her. ….And what? No, don't be ridiculous. I am not Bessie."

With a shake of her head, Bessie tries not to laugh," Are you sure? It kind of sounds like you is Joe."

"….Whatever, forget that I even brought it up to begin with then.", I mutter under my breath before folding a few shirts. This is worse than Bessie telling me that I should give Jen a chance and try to be friends with her. I can't believe my own sister actually implied that I'm jealous of Jen. She couldn't be more wrong. Why would I be? It's not as though I want Dawson to be stumbling, tripping and fumbling all over himself for me. I just don't like being ignored by my best friend for a pretty girl.

"Fine by me, Joe. Can I make a crazy suggestion for you though?", questions Bessie with an arched eyebrow. Something tells me that I really don't want to hear what she has to say next. I also know that whether I want to hear what Bessie has to say or not, doesn't matter. She has an uncanny habit of making her insights and opinions known either way. Suddenly I'm beginning to think that opening my mouth to Bessie was the worst thing I could have ever done. …(End Joey's pov)
