Chapter 9

3 weeks until prom and tensions were running high in Capeside. Andie told both Pacey and Dawson that she didn't know who she loved more.

We see Andie at her locker tugging with all her weight

Andie: Stupid locker…why won't you open?

Joey: Here let me try

She tugs with a little strength and it opens quickly

Andie: Thanks. Listen Joey I never apologized for-

Joey: Andie, it's not your fault. I was angry at first but you couldn't have foreseen this.

Andie: Thanks Joey. So who are you taking with you to prom?

Joey: I think I may go with Will. Something's going on between us…I'm still in love with Dawson but…you know

Andie: Well Will is a great guy, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Joey: Who are you taking? If anyone?

Andie: Stag. I don't want to go with either of them, it might seem like I've made my choice.

Cut to a Doctor's office

Psychiatrist: It seems like you've got quite a problem on your hands Andie

Andie: I know this already. I need to know who it is I love

Psychiatrist: There has to be a moment. One decisive moment that'll happen to you. Once it does you can look back and realize who it is that you are in love with.

Anti-Prom

Pacey: I must say man this is quite the shindig you've thrown here

Dawson: It helps to have a restaurant handy for these types of things. Also two parents who by the way invite you to their remarriage.

Pacey: So the rumors are true? Congrats man.

They notice Andie coming in with Jack and his "friend" Ethan. Seeing her in her gorgeous purple outfit takes both of their breaths away.

Pacey: Dawson, I'm sure Andie is not looking to choose tonight. There's no reason for us to turn this into a competition

Dawson: You're right Pacey

The last dance of the night

Andie looked around at her friends. Joey was dancing with Will, Jen with Henry, Jack and Ethan were still sitting. She had danced with everyone, including Dawson and Pacey, it seems that they didn't want to fight over the last dance with her. Lost in her thoughts she didn't notice who was standing in front of her.

Dawson: May I have this dance?

Andie: Yes you may

She gets up and notices Pacey in the corner watching her

Dawson: Don't worry about him. We both agree all's fair in love and war.

Andie: I see. Well Mr. Leery I hear your parents wedding is coming up real soon.

Dawson: Yea next weekend after finals, which I'm sure you've studied extensively for.

Andie: Yea, Pacey and I have been reviewing for 3 weeks now.

Dawson: Yea I heard about that. Hard to believe that we only have one year left in this town. I've learned a lot here

Andie: Oh yea? Like what?

Dawson smirks then leans forward.

Dawson: Life

He leans in closer still, Andie starts to get nervous

Dawson: Love

He continually gets closer until he kisses her. He breaks it off as the song ends.

Andie thinks back to what the doctor said and she realized that this was the moment. Andie Mcphee had finally figured out who she was in love with.
