A/N: I hope you're liking this story. I figured I'd do something different than the obvious. Everyone always does a Joey/Pacey ---(which I love) or Joey/Dawson. I wanted to do this angle, because it's different.

Dawson stared after Joey and Charlie for quite some time before Pacey finally came up behind him. He placed his hand on Dawson's shoulder, and he turned to look at him. Pacey went around Dawson, and shut the door. He didn't say anything at first, he just walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Pacey sighed and followed him. He sat down on the coffee table across from him, and waited for Dawson to start speaking. He looked up at Pacey, and his expression spoke volumes.

" I can't believe she's going with him. I mean, she's going to be gone for a really long time." Pacey lowered his head, and spoke.

" Dawson, She's been dating him for awhile. I don't understand why you're so upset about this. It'll do her some good to get away from us, and have some fun. She deserves the fun Dawson." He ran his hand through his hair, and took a rugged breath.

" I know she does Pacey, I've just always thought she'd do something like this with me. She did it with you when she got on your boat with you. I was hoping it was my turn. I just always seem to have horrible timing when it comes to Joey." Audrey and Jack walked into the room at this statement. Jack sat on the couch next to Dawson, and Audrey sat next to Pacey. Jack was the one who spoke next.

" Dawson, I understand you're upset. We're all here for you, and we'll hang out." Dawson shook his head.

" I don't know where she got this idea of going with him. I know he asked her, but last I heard she wasn't going with him." Audrey and Jack looked away from Dawson. Pacey snickered at their faces.

" You two talked her into to it, didn't you? When you went into that room, you talked her into going with Charlie." Audrey stood up then.

" Come on, Pacey, it's not like it's a bad thing, you know. I'm sorry, Dawson, I really am, but she deserved some fun. She waited on you forever, then you get with Jen. She'd never tell you guys, but she was devastated. She told me it ripped her heart into pieces. I couldn't tell you guys that, because she said she wanted to keep the brave front, t hat she had no right to say that to you. She said that you needed to figure out some stuff about your dad. I hate to bring him up, I'm sorry. It was at that dinner that Pacey cooked. I took her into the kitchen, and she told me then, but she had no right to say anything about it. In my opinion, she should have thrown her dinner on Jen, and slapped the crap out of you. I don't want to see you sit here, and sulk about this, because you blew your chance. So please, Dawson, get over yourself, and move on!" After Audrey made this statement, she stormed out of the house. Pacey stood up a little shocked at the outburst, and slowly went after her. Jack and Dawson just sat in stunned silence.

Dawson didn't know what to say. Did everyone think he'd blown his chance with Joey when he'd gone with Jen? He knew he'd eventually get his turn again with Joey, he just obviously didn't have any idea when. He looked at Jack who wasn't saying anything, just sitting there. He turned to face him.

" So, you think I blew it? I mean, you must have, because you talked her into leaving. I'll never understand that, Jack." With that he got up and left. Jack called out to him, but Dawson just went up the steps to his room. Jen came into the room and faced Jack. He looked up at her, and didn't say anything to her.

" So, it's your fault that Joey is going with Charlie? How could you do that, Jack? I mean what possessed you to tell her to go?" Jack scoffed at her statement.

" I have to agree with Joey on this one, Jen. Why the hell do you care what she does? You obviously weren't thinking of her when you slept with Dawson. You're over Charlie, so why does it bother you?" She stammered at first, then she finally spoke.

" I know that he's only going to hurt her. I know it, because he did it to me, and I think he's scum. Not to mention the fact that I still have feelings for him." This made Jack look up at her in disbelief.

" You are unbelievable, do you know that? You only want Dawson when Joey wants him again. Then when she's going out with the guy that you've been cursing for over a month, you want him again? Jen, you don't have feelings for him, you just don't want Joey to have him. I'm outta here." Jack walked out of the room, leaving Jen to sit on the couch by herself.

Joey was walking hand in hand with Charlie on their way to his Dorm room. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to go with him, but she didn't know if that window was gone or not. He wasn't saying anything, and it was probably because of the fight she'd just got into with Jen.

" I'm really sorry about that, Charlie. I had no idea that she was going to jump at us like that." Charlie swung their hands for a few seconds, then smiled at her.

" It's alright, Joey. I kind of figured that she would, I mean she hates my guts. I wasn't really good to her, but I'm sure you don't want to hear that." Joey sighed.

" I do want to know why you did it. You gave her this big speech about not being that guy, and you turned out to be that creepy guy." He sighed, not wanting to answer the question.

" Joey, I don't know. I saw her at the party, and she seemed really cool. Then, she saw me having dinner with my sister, and she thought I was cheating. She threw ice cream and whipped cream all over my crotch. My sister was none to impressed. She tried to apologize for it, but it pissed me off. Therefore, the other girl I had been talking to only, I had sex with. It's not an excuse, but I didn't really want to be with her anymore." Joey nodded.

" How do you know I wouldn't do something like that?" He grinned.

" I think it would be great if you did. That would mean you were jealous, and if you were jealous that would be fantastic. I've never tried to get a girl's attention as hard as I've tried to get yours. I just wish we had more time together." Joey lowered her head.

" Um, about that, I did have a question for you, Charlie." He looked up at her hopefully.

" Spit it out, Potter, what would that question be?" She took in a ragged breath, and looked back up at him.

" I was just wondering if that offer was still good?" His face lit up at what she said.

" You mean for me to stay here with you?" She shook her head at him.

" No, I want to go with you. I figure, you'll never really forgive me if you miss this opportunity. I would like to get to know you some more, and you asked me once to go with you." Charlie stopped dead in his tracks to look at her.

" Well, I would have to say...Hell yeah!" With that said he grabbed Joey and picked her up. He was hugging her and swinging her at the same time. Joey was laughing right along with him. When he finally put her down, she grabbed onto his shoulder to steady herself.

" Okay then, we have to get you packed, and then we have to get me packed." He grinned, grabbed her hand, and started running.
