Mac walked in the nearly empty gym. Her eyes wondering around searching for the punching bags. They came to rest on a couple of people bench-pressing.
'Mac what are you going here?' Jack asked surprised to see her.
'Um I need to release some anger!' she responded.
'Well you've come to the right place!'
'What are you doing here?' Mac asked.
'Oh Andie dropped me here on the way past, so I could have a work out, then Jen's going to pick me up and we're heading back to my place. Do you and Harm and um… you're fiancé want to come over? We can organise Joey and Dawson as well,' Jack offered.
'Ah, a word of advice, avoid having Harm and Mic in he same room at all costs unless you enjoy watching grown men behave like children. When I left Dawson and Joey we're deep in discussion, Pacey had said something to them I think.'
'Ok, advice noted, I wonder what Joey and Dawson we're talking about?' Jack said.
'I'm not sure really, but I should let you finish you're work out before Jen arrives,' Mac said.
'Enjoy yours as well!" Jack responded.
'Oh I will!' Mac replied.
Jen walked in a short while later to see someone attacking the punching bags. 'Whoa someone has some anger to work thorough.' she muttered to Jack.
'It's Mac!'
'Really? Maybe I should go see how she is!' Jen said.
'Um, I'm not sure that's a great idea Jen!' Jack replied, 'she seems fairly worked up!'
'Keep working out, I'll be back in a minute,' Jen ordered Jack.
'Never were one to take advice we're you?' Jack called out to Jen's disappearing back 'Not when it's from you!' Jen smirked back at him.
'Hi Mac!' Jen said as Mac nearly kicked her head off.
'Whoa! Jen said. 'Good thing I ducked!'
'Oh sorry Jen,' Mac apologised, 'and remember you take cover, you never duck!'
'Right! So what's your fiancé's name?' Jen asked, 'his surname is Bugme right?'
'No that's Harm's nickname for him!'
'Yeah those two don't seem to get along,' Jen added.
'That's an understatement! A Lieutenant at JAG got his jaw broken due to those two trying to thump each other!' Mac told a shocked Jen.
'Oh! Why don't they get along?'
'I overheard Pacey say something to Dawson and Joey as he was leaving, that puzzled me!' Mac said quickly changing the subject 'I thought those two were a couple!'
'Nope! They're just friends at present. Actually, we all thought you and Harm we're a couple!' Jen mentioned to Mac.
'Harm and me? No! He's dating the video princess!' Mac replied.
'Oh okay! What was the comment, maybe I can explain it, although knowing those three it may be some reference to their childhood!' Jen offered.
'Right, well Pacey told them to deal with what went down last summer and get together or move on!'
'Oh sounds like things finally came to a head,' Jen said.
'Why, what happened last summer? Mac asked.
'It's a long story!' Jen warned.
'I don't have anything better to do, I can either listen to your story or go belt the hell out of one of the guys!' Mac replied.
'The story it is then,' Jen laughed. 'Okay but let's sit down, we could be here a while!'
'Alright,' Mac replied as she sat down on the floor.
'Okay I should probably start at the very beginning, which considering I wasn't here for that will be difficult. Dawson, Joey and Pacey have been bestfriends basically since they were born. When I arrived, a couple of years, Dawson and I started dating, at the time Joey had a huge "thing" for Dawson and was really jealous, long story short Dawson and I broke up. Eventually I decided I wanted to get back together but he had already realised that his feelings for Joey were more than platonic. I took a while for them to admit their feelings to each other, which resulted in Pacey giving the two of them the "will-they-won't-they couple of the century" tag.
"Oh that's where that came from, I was actually curious about that,' Mac said.
'Yep, believe me the two of them didn't have a smooth relationship, I think they found it hard to adjust from being bestfriends to a couple. Joey eventually realised she needed to fine herself and broke-up with Dawson and then got together with Jack.
'I thought Jack was gay?' Mac interjected.
'He is, be he wasn't "out" then,' Jen clarified
'oh, continue' Mac urged Jen.
"That eventually ended just before Jack came out, although, they're still good friends. Then Joey's dad got out fo prison and came home. Joey and Dawson were reconciled and got back together as a couple. They were fine until Dawson realised that Joey's dad was dealing drugs again. After he nearly got them killed Dawson forced Joey to tell the police about her dad. Joey and Dawson broke-up over it and Joey told Dawson she never wanted to see him again. H eleft for the summer and Joey was bascially alone, but she had time to calm down and somethine happened between them which I think lead Dawson to ask Pacey to look after Joey for him.'
'Ok...'
'Dawson spent the whole year looking for himself and realised that it was Joey he was looking for. The only thing was Joey and Pacey had realised that they were more than just friends. I actually had a part in the messiness of them telling Dawson about it, because I unintentionally told him before Joey and Pacey had, thinking he already knew' Jen explained.
'I bet that went down well!' Mac commented
'It resulted in a screaming match on Dawson's front lawn, then a boat race between Pacey and Dawson, which pretty much ended in disaster.
'Why do guys have to fund it necessary to prove whose the bigger man" Mac questioned Jen.
'It was a bit like that!' Jen grinned. 'When Dawson's folks got remarried, Joey was the bridesmaid and Dawson the best man, at the end of the service he told Joey to go to Pacey and so she did.'
'So how come her and Pacey aren't together now?' Mac asked ' He is with Andie isn't he?'
'Yeah when Joey and Pacey returned from their sailing trip they broke up, because Pacey couldn't deal with Joey's friendship with Dawson and she couldn't cope with is jealousy. I think that Joey realised her feelings for Pacey weren't what she thought they were!' Jen told Mac.
'Okay that makes what Pacey said a lot cleared! Mac said. 'But why did it all come to a head now?'
"Oh that would be me again' Jen answered honestly. ' I made some comment about love triangles and the three of them tensed up, so Jack, Andie and I left them to deal with it!' Jen smiled.
'Oh, maybe we should give them some space tonight then?' Mac suggested to Jen.
'Give some space to who?' Jack asked as he walked towards Jen and Mac.
'Dawson and Joey' Jen replied 'apparently Pacey finally said what we've all been dying to say!'
'What he told them to grow-up and deal with last summer?" Jack grinned.
'Yes!" Mac and Jen said at the same time.
'Space sounds like a good idea! What are we doing tonight Jen?' Jack asked.
'Um, not sure, no doubt Andie has organised something, we should probably go though. Do you want a lift Mac?' Jen offered.
'No, that's alright,' Mac replied. ' I think a walk would be good, no doubt I'll see you tomorrow,' she said as Jack gathered his stuff and Jen stood up.
'Yeah, no doubt! Bye!' They waved and walked out of the gym.
