Starts of as a D/J piece eventually will be a P/J piece set the year before graduation nothing in season 3 or 4 has happen Dawson did not go to Philly and there is no Eve. Andie never cheated on Pacey and Jack is still gay sorry. Read and review constructive criticism is welcomed but I will not tolerate people blasting my work if there is something you would like to see changed then just let me know just don't be rude.

Dawson's bedroom Dawson's and Joey are sitting on his bed watching a movie.

"Hey Dawson?"

Stares blankly at the T.V.

" Earth to Dawson." waves her hands in front of him

Still staring at the T.V.

"Ok that's it" grabs the remote from Dawson and turns the T.V. off

"Hey I was watching that." tries to get the remote back from Joey

"Don't you ever get tired of doing the same thing?"

puzzled "What do you mean by that?"

starts to put her shoes on " I mean seriously Dawson it's 8pm on a Saturday night and you'd prefer to watch movies preferably a Spielberg movie and then we spend hours over analyzing the movie."

sits up from the bed " and what is so wrong with that Jo?"

sitting on the window ledge " Well nothing really it's just that we're 17 years old we should be out having fun living life not watching it go by."

starts to walk towards where Joey is sitting " Well then Miss Potter what do you want to do then?"

has a big grin on her face " Well Jen's having this party at her house and I kind of told her that we'd go."

sighs loudly " Jo, I-I really don't feel up to hanging out with a bunch of drunks tonight can't we do something else."

" Oh, come on Dawson please." looks at him with puppy dog eyes

raises his hands in the air " Ok fine I'll go."

" Great." Grabs her coat and puts it on grabs Dawson's hand and they exit his room.

At Jen's Joey and Dawson walks up to Jen's door when Pacey and Andie walk up.

Happily "Hi Joey!"

gives Andie a hug "Andie hi"

"Hey Andie"

"Hey Dawson"

Pacey goes to hi five Dawson "D-man how's it going?"

hi fives him back "It's going good Pace how about you."

"Man every thing's great D Potter." holds his arms out for a hug

glares at him " come any closer to me and I'll kill you."

holds his hands up and backs away "whoa Potter retract the claws."

turns to Dawson " what's up with ice queen?"

shrugs his shoulders " I don't know man guess you just bring out the best in her."

gives Pacey one of her famous scowls "bite me Jail bait."

Andie interrupts "Ok you two how about we go inside and have some fun."

looks over at Joey "yeah how about we have some fun, you know how to have fun don't you Potter?"

gives Pacey one of her looks "I think I can manage."

Dawson opens the door "alright then shall we."

Dawson, Joey, Andie, and Pacey all walk inside.

Dawson hangs his coat up "well I'm going to go see if they have anything to drink that does not consist of alcohol, anyone want anything."

confused "Dawson my friend." Pacey puts his arm on Dawson's shoulder "This is a party we're suppose to be having fun you've gotta have a beer it's only natural."

looks at Pacey "Pace just because I don't want to drink does not mean I can't have fun."

Joey bursts out laughing they all look over at Joey notices that they are looking at her."What?"

"Just what do you find so funny over there Potter?" Pacey asks

"Oh, nothing Just think it's funny we're at this kick ass party and we're all standing here like bumps on a log."

Andie gets up " Well I for one did not come here to sit around I'm going to get a beer and find Jen and when I come back I better find you people having some fun."

Andie walks off towards the kitchen.

Joey gets up "I think Andie has the right idea."

Dawson and Pacey look at her like she's crazy. "Why are you two looking at me like I'm nuts?"

"Oh no reason it's just that Joey you can't handle your alcohol very well."

offended "oh, and this coming from the same guy who not only got completely wasted, on his 16 birthday but you also fell into your birthday cake face first, and you say I can't hold my alcohol."

getting defensive "I was not that wasted."

Jack walks up to Pacey "Hey Pacey what's up?"

looks away to see Jack. "not much same Dawson same Joey different day."

looks at Joey and Dawson confused "I see, so what's the problem this time?"

focuses on Joey for a minute "You know what I don't get?"

puzzled "what's that Pace?" still staring at Joey "is how Dawson Leery of all people can land a woman like Joey and guys like me get stuck with crazy people.?"

starts to get the picture. "Pace you dated my sister."

realizes what he just said. "Andie does not fall into the crazy people section of my life."

"Ok so where does my sister fit into the equation?" "See, Jack that's where I'm lost Andie is this amazing woman she's smart she's beautiful and she has taught me so much in life but--"

"she's not Joey."

"Well no she's not Joey but that's beyond the point the point is lately I have not been feeling like Andie and I are a couple it feels like a friendship and I don't want to hurt her but how do I tell her I just want to be her friend."

ponders what Pacey said "So you want to be just friends with Andie and this has nothing to do with a certain Potter girl." looks at Jack

"Jack I can honestly say that this has nothing to do with a certain Potter girl and even if it did I don't have a chance with her and you know that."

"what makes you think that you wouldn't have a chance with her?"

"well the obvious kinda sticks out here is Dawson Leery her soul mate how can I compete with that."

both look at where Dawson and Joey are at "yeah well just remember all good things must come to end, but first you need to go find Andie and tell her that it's over before you even ponder the thought of being with Joey."

looks towards the kitchen "I know what I have to do that is why I'm going to find Andie and talk to her."

pats him on the back "you're a good man Pace."

Jack walks off.

Walking towards the kitchen to himself now how do I tell Andie that I want to be just friends I know she's going to want a reason why I feel the way I do but I can't honestly tell her the reason when I'm not even really sure myself of the reason or am I? Well here goes everything.

Walks up to Andie "Hey Andie you got a minute?"

looks at Pacey and knows somethings wrong "yeah Pace what is it?"

grabs her hand "let's go outside."

" sure."

Pacey and Andie exit.
