Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters on "Dawson's Creek" and if I did, the whole show would be way better than it was.

Category: Dawson and Joey

Rating: PG-13 or rated R-I don't get too detailed

Summary: This is set after "Merry Mayhem". It is a story of how Dawson and Joey finally get back together for the last time and never are with anyone else. This story starts right where the D/Jo ending scene left off. I just made up the title, you'll see how that comes into play later.

Shout outs: Thank you to the Feel Like Home ezboard for staying there and keeping my fanfics present on there.

Note: Things maybe a little confusing when you read this so feel free to ask me any questions. Keep in mind, everyone at dinner left to go home (except Audrey). Pacey went home and maybe in the story later. Jen, Jack, and Grams went back to Worthington. I guess you can assume they have dorms or whatever to live in. Todd went back to L.A with Natasha. The Potter Family (including Mike, Joey's Dad, Bessie, Bodie and Alexander) went home because they know Joey can make her way home some way and trust her completely. I only noticed Mike at the dinner but if you want to assume the rest of the Potter family was there, too, you may. Audrey did not go home for Christmas because of family problems (like her Mom). Please leave me feedback-good or bad! I hate it when people view stories but never leave any feedback. This story will be in a few parts. Most of it will be pure fluff and happiness.

Chapter 1

As Joey put her head on Dawson's shoulder, Dawson smiled down at Joey. It felt good to be with her again. They both looked up at the snow and felt hopeful their relationship was going to work out.

Dawson: I broke up with Natasha.

What Dawson said had come out of nowhere. Dawson didn't exactly know why he said that to Joey but something inside himself compelled him to.

Joey: I'm sorry, Dawson.

Dawson: No, it's alright. It was gonna happen sooner or later. It was nothing serious anyway.

Joey nodded in understanding.

Dawson: How are you and that Eddie guy doing?

Joey: Actually, we broke up, too.

FLASHBACK

Eddie: I didn't want to tell you this on Christmas but I'm moving back home, where I used to live. I got a job offer so...

Joey: You're breaking up with me, aren't you?

Eddie: Yeah, I am. I just don't think it's a good idea to be seeing each other anymore. Besides, I can clearly see from your friend's rant at dinner that you and that Dawson guy have some unresolved issues to work out.

Joey: Don't get into my personal life with Dawson, ok? You were only in this relationship for the sex, weren't you?

Eddie: Hey, you were the one who offered yourself to me. You slept on my bed. Obviously you wanted it, too.

Joey: No, it wasn't like that. I...you know what? Fine, take your job offer.

Eddie: Goodbye, Joey.

Joey: Goodbye, Eddie.

END OF FLASHBACK

Joey: What a coincidence, huh?

Dawon: Yeah, sorry.

Joey: Don't be, it's not your fault.

Secretly, Dawson and Joey were glad they were both single again. It was like a barrier had been lifted.

Dawson: Well, I better get back in the house to check on Mom and Lily.

Joey: Can I go with you? I should have a talk with Audrey. I haven't been much of a friend to her lately.

Dawson: Sure, let's go.

Dawson took Joey's hand in his. This felt so natural to both of them that neither one minded. Hand in hand, they walked up to Dawson's porch and as they stepped onto it, mistletoe fell from above. Dawson and Joey both looked down at it for a moment, unsure of what to do. Dawson slowly picked it up and hung it back up on the top of the doorway. He lowered his eyes to Joey. Dawson saw the same lust and love in here eyes that he saw the night they made love for the first time. They both lowered their heads towards one another and kissed. Joey wrapped her arms around Dawson's neck as Dawson deepened the kiss. Gale walked by and looked through the front door to see them kissing. She sighed contently at the sight and cleared her throat loudly causing them to jump apart to see her.

Dawson: Hey, Mom.

Joey: Hi, Mrs. Leery.

Dawson: We were just seeing if...um...

Joey: If the mistletoe works and uh...it does!
