AN-I'm sorry its taken me so long to update. School has been torture and writers block came to me! Anyway here is California Dreams. Enjoy!
Joey Potter waited anxiously for Dawson's plane to land. Her cousins, Pacey, Jen, and Drue had all come with her to the airport. She was so nervous, she started pacing. What if Dawson had met someone else? What if things were too weird betwen them? Every thought scared her. Finally, Pacey jumped up and grabbed her arms, stopping her. ''Joey, calm down. You're gonna wear a hole in the floor.'' he told her. ''I can't help it!'' she exclaimed as Dawson's plane was announced landing. She smilied and ran to the gate, the others trailing after her.
Dawson looked through the crowd, his eyes landing on Joey's. He smilied brightly as she ran to him. ''Dawson!'' she yelled, jumping into his arms, almost knocking them both down. Dawson picked her up and spun her around before hugging her tightly. ''I missed you somuch Jo.'' he said, looking into her eyes. ''I missed you too, Dawson.'' she said. Andie coughed and Joey remembered they wern't alone. ''Dawson, this is my cousins, Andie and Jack, my neighbor, Jen Lindley, Drue Valentine and Pacey Witter.'' she said, pointing everyone out. Dawson waved to everyone. They grabbed his bags and left.
They arrive at the Mcphee house and walked inside. Joey showed Dawson to his room. As Dawson unpacked, Joey and Andie made lunch in the kitchen. ''So that's the famous Dawson?'' Andie asked. Joey nodded. ''It's so weird between us, Andie. Does he stil feel the same way about me? I just don't know what to do.'' Joey said. ''Well, we're all going to the club tonight. Bring him, maybe something will happen.'' Andie suggested. ''Maybe I will.'' Joey said.
That night, the seven went out to the club. Jenand Drue went to get drinks while Pacey and Andie dispeared to put their plan in action. Jack went to get a drink as well. Joey and Dawson stood by the door. ''So, how's Capeside life?'' Joey asked. ''Horrible without you.'' he replied. She smilied shyly at him. ''Do you wanna dance, Jo?'' he asked. She nodded and he took her hand, leading her to the dance floor. As soon as they reached it, the DJ said ''Alright grab your love one and get ready to slow dance.'' Mandy Moore's ''I Wanna Be With You.'' came on.
Dawson and Joey slowly began to dance. From their spot across the room, Andie and Pacey smilied. ''I hope this works Pace.'' she said. ''It will Mcphee. Would you like to dance?'' he asked, holding his hand out to her. Andie smilied at him. ''I'd love too.'' she said, taking his hand and walking to the dance floor. ''Dawson.'' Joey whispered. He looked at her. Joey looked into his eyes and, throwing all caution to the wind, kissed him. Slowly pulling away she looked at him. ''Jo.'' he whispered before kissing her back.
Andie and Pacey smilied happy their plan was working. ''We did it!'' she exclaimed. Pacey leaned down to kiss her cheek. She looked up at him in surprise just as he kissed her on the lips. Andie wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back. They pulled apart and looked at each other, smiling. Pacey kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to him. Jen and Drue looked over at all the couples and Jen looked over at th ebar, seeing Jack flirting with a cute guy. She smilied, happy for her friends.
After the song everyone called it a night. Jen drove Drue and Jack home and Pacey brought Andie, Joey and Dawson home. ''Here we are.'' Pacey said, arriving at the Mcphee household. Dawsonand Joey got out, leaving Andie to say goodbye to Pacey. They walked in the house quietly, stopping outside Joey's room. ''I had fun Jo.'' Dawson said, kissing her lightly. ''I had fun too Dawson.'' Joey said, kissing him back. They parted, Dawson going to his room, Joey to hers.
The next day, Joey dragged Dawson out of bed and brought him to where she had lunch with Pacey and Andie and Jack. ''Wow, this place is amazing.'' Dawson said. ''Yea, Andie brought me here for lunch.'' Joey told him. They stood looking at the ocean. ''I love you Joey.'' Dawson said breaking the silence. She looked at him. ''I've missed you so much since you've been gone. Not a minute goes by that I don't think about you and it's killing me. I knew when I came here, I had to tell you.'' he said looking at her. She stood there quietly. ''Now would be a good time for you to say something.'' Dawson said, nervously. ''I love you too Dawson.'' she said. They smilied and kissed passionatly.
The week went by fast, much to Joey's disapointment. Soon it was time for Dawson to leave. Joey dorve him to the airport herself, wanting to say goodbye in private. Everyone else had wished him a goodbye the day before. The two stood outside his gate. ''I'm gonna miss you so much Dawson.'' she said hugging him. ''I'll miss you too Jo.'' he said. ''I've got something to tell you. I applied to USC. My mom called me yesterday. I got in! I"m going to school here in California.'' he said. Joey smilied. ''Dawson, I love you.'' she said. ''I love you too Jo.'' he said, kissing her. His plane was called and he picked up his bags. ''I'll see you after graduation.'' he said, kissing her once again before leaving.
