Note: Okay, this takes place two months after the series finale. This is my
first Dawson's Creek story, so remember that. That's my excuse if it sucks
lol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(There's a shot of the New York City skyline, which fades into an apartment building. We zoom into one of the windows near the top of the building. The apartment has a few boxes in it, that's it. Joey steps out of one of the rooms, accompanied by Bodie.)
BODIE: Anything else?
JOEY: Nope, that's the last of it.
(Joey grabs a box, Bodie gets two, and they head out.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(It cuts to Bodie and Joey in a truck, driving down a highway. Bodie's driving, Joey's trying to find a good radio station)
BODIE: Come on, Joe, choose one!
JOEY: Sorry. (settles on a station) I needed something to do. I'm anxious.
BODIE: You've been gone for two months! (smiles at her)
JOEY: I know, but it's been years since I've lived back in Capeside.
BODIE: Well I'm glad you've come back.
JOEY: So am I Bodie, so am I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Bodie's just now pulling into Capeside, and Joey's drumming her fingers on the armrest.)
JOEY: So you're sure you and Bess don't mind me staying? I'll try and find my own place as soon as I can, I promise.
BODIE: Relax, we're glad to have you back. Although we thought for sure you'd ditch our place for Pacey's.
JOEY: That's sort of.over.
BODIE: (He laughs) No way? Joey Potter, confused over Pacey Witter again? I'm guessing that Dawson Leery might just have something to do with this.
JOEY: (sighs) I'm serious, Bodie, I'd thought I'd chosen. Sometimes I think I'd be better off without them but then.
BODIE: I know.
(Bodie pulls into the B & B)
JOEY: (checks her watch) It's 10. Will Alex still be awake?
BODIE: Are you kidding? Of course he's awake. He can't wait to see you. He wanted to come with today, but he had a baseball game.
JOEY: That's right, the seasons just starting. Looks like I came back at a good time. I could teach the kid a thing or two. (Smiles, and gets out of the truck. She grabs a few bags, and Bodie starts to unload some boxes. Joey opens the door, and heads to her room.)
BESSIE: Joey! (She runs over and gives her a hug.) I didn't even hear you guys pull up!
ALEX: (He walks out.) Hey, Joey, we won the game! I scored a home run!
JOEY: That's great! (gives him a five)
ALEX: (Nods) Yeah, Lilly's been playing with me. And Daws-
BESSIE: (Shoots him a look) Dawson's been excited for both of you.
JOEY: (Feels a bit confused.) That's good. Well, as much as I'd love to sit up and chat, I'm tired.
BESSIE: Alright, Joe. By the way, you're supposed to call Jack.
JOEY: (Softens a bit) How is he? How's it working out with Amy?
BESSIE: He's a great dad.
JOEY: I'll call him tomorrow. See you in the morning. (Heads off to bed.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to next morning. Joey's up and out of bed, walking around town, approaching the Icehouse.)
JOEY: (Walks up to the bar.) Hello, could you please tell Mr. Witter that Joey Potter is here to see him?
BARTENDER: Sure, although he has company.
JOEY: (Smiles.) I can wait. (Takes a seat, and looks around, people watching.)
PACEY: Potter, I knew you'd be running back to me.
JOEY: Ha ha, Pace. (smiles)
PACEY: Bess told me you were coming back, wasn't sure it could be believed. Heck, now the gangs all here.
JOEY: I'd hardly say that. Dawson, Jen, they're not here.
DAWSON: (comes out of Pacey's office) Hey Joey.
JOEY: Dawson Leery you get your butt over here right now! I want an apology for you not calling me since the funeral. And a hug!
DAWSON: (Gives her a hug) Sorry, I've been mourning over the death of my own show.
JOEY: No way! I thought for sure it really wasn't over. I love that show!
DAWSON: Well I'm glad I have one dedicated fan.
PACEY: Two, actually.
JOEY: Pacey likes a teen drama? I thought you weren't one of those, sappy- love-story people.
PACEY: What can I say, if I'm in it, I like it.
DAWSON: Well I'm glad I fulfilled you both.
PACEY: The lunch crowds coming in. I'll catch up with you kids later, okay?
JOEY: (Laughs) I think I'll stick around, get something to eat. Pay you back for being the demanding customer you always were.
DAWSON: Not a bad idea. Sorry Pace, I'm with her.
PACEY: Well, there's always the spit-in-the-customers-food trick. (smiles)
JOEY: Pacey!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to downtown Capeside. Jack and Doug are taking a walk, Jack's pushing Amy.)
AMY: Food!
DOUG: There's a woman who knows what she wants.
JACK: If only everyone was like her. (Smiles at Amy)
DOUG: We should go to the Icehouse. I have to keep Pacey in line, make sure he's working every now and then.
JACK: (smiles) Won't he just love that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut back to the Icehouse. Joey and Dawson are looking at menus.)
JOEY: I'll take a hamburger.
DAWSON: Same here. Large order of fries.
JOEY: Make that a family size order. (looks over at Dawson) I'm starving, you don't mind?
DAWSON: Nah. Not at all. (Smiles)
JACK: (Sits next to Joey, with Doug beside him) Josephine Potter, I made your sister promise to have you call me the second you got home!
JOEY: Jack! (gives him a hug, and waves to Doug and Amy) I was tired, and came here about (checks her watch) three hours ago for a late breakfast. I never found my way home, I'm sorry.
JACK: It's alright, I had my morning classes anyways. I'm done for the afternoon, though.
DOUG: I wish I could say the same. I have a hour lunch break, then it's back to fighting crime.
PACEY: Yes, Deputy Doug. The law force needs you. (Salutes him then laughs)
JOEY: Respect your elders Pace (smiles)
PACEY: And what does my favorite girl want?
JOEY: Oh, a million dollars, a yacht, a new house may be nice. (Smiles)
PACEY: Yeah, I said my favorite girl, Joe. (Smiles)
AMY: Ice cweam!
JACK: And a cheeseburger.
DOUG: And a glass of milk.
JOEY: (smiles at Jack and Doug) This is so weird, it's like you guys are playing house. (Smiles) I want to play too!
PACEY: Well, Joey, if you want we could go in the back room, and arrange for you to have a kid.
DAWSON: Pacey!
JOEY: Oh, yeah, Pacey, come on. (Hops off her chair and starts to walk to Pacey's office) Coming?
DAWSON: (Stares) No way
PACEY: Well, um, I uh, sorta.
JOEY: (Bursts out laughing) Pace, it was a joke!
(They all start laughing at Pacey, and he blushes a bit.)
