Hi! It's me again. The chapters are just comin along. I should be working on a British Lit project right now, but that got boring, so… J Anyway, I know I changed some of the details of Dawson's Creek, but, hey, that's why they call it fanFICTION, right?

P.S. Thanks to RoseLevite, a.k.a. my friend Mona, who just got me the cutest half-birthday present (or un-birthday, if you prefer). Four little heart shaped ornaments. One says "Chelsea" (my name) one says "Leigh", which is my middle name (so proud to have the same middle name as one of my fave TV characters), one says "Friends Forever", and the fourth one says "Angel". There's also a card with a really long message on it. J Thank you MP!!!! J J BTW, excuse my babbling, I'm going through coffee withdrawal.

When the plane landed in Florida, the six friends eagerly jumped off the plane and ran to get their luggage. "Charlie should be here to meet us," said Tristan, after they had gotten their bags. "Look, there he is!"

The group looked over, and saw a tall blonde guy with blue eyes standing next to the doors in the lobby. This had to be Charlie. He looked EXACTLY like Tristan. Next to him stood a pretty blonde girl in an expensive-looking sundress, carrying a Kate Spade purse. They figured this had to be Audrey. "Come on guys! The beach is waiting" called Charlie to the group. "Tristan, my man, good to see you! This is my girlfriend, Audrey. Audrey, this is my cousin, Tristan."

"These are my friends Mona Ramsey, Sarah Demmy, Paula Porte, and Joe Evans, and my girlfriend, Rory Gilmore." Tristan introduced. "Guys, this is my cousin, Charlie Todd."

After all the introductions were made, the group made their way out to the 2002 Explorer that Audrey had picked up for them. There was another one for the Capeside gang, and this one was for the Chiltonites. Tristan drove, while Audrey and Charlie drove the other rental car back.

They pulled up to the huge, opulent beach house. Rory's mouth dropped open. "Wow! This place is as big as my Grandparent's house! And this is just a beach house!" Audrey grinned. "Glad you like it. Come on, I'll show you around," said Audrey, leading the way into the beach house. Once inside, they found four people playing pool in the family room.

Charlie made the introductions. "These are my friends: Pacey," he pointed to a dark-haired hottie in a Hawaiian shirt; "Jack," another tall, dark, and handsome guy, in jeans and a Miami Dolphins T-Shirt (AN: I have no idea what RI football team is, or what MA football team is, so I picked the Dolphins cuz Dolphins are my fave animals J ); "Jen," he pointed to a pretty blonde in a black miniskirt and white halter top; "and Joey." Joey was a pretty brunette in jean shorts and a spaghetti- strapped red tank. "Guys, this is Rory, Mona, Sarah, Paula, Joe, and my cousin Tristan.

Everyone said their "hellos, nice to meet yous, etc." Audrey then showed everyone to their rooms- it turned out the Bostonians had gotten there earlier that day, and hadn't really explored the house yet.

There were seven bedrooms in the house. It was decided that Charlie would share with Audrey, Paula and Joe would share a room, Rory would share with Mona, Pacey and Jack would share, Tristan would have his own room, same with Joey, and Jen and Sarah would double up. Everyone agreed to unpack and meet in the foyer in 45 minutes to go out to dinner.

After a nice seafood dinner, the group gathered in the family room to watch a movie. They selected "Ferris Bueller's Day Off (THE classic teenage movie, they all agreed), and popped it into the DVD player. When it was over, they all went to bed. "Night everyone!" said Pacey. "Buuuuuuuueeeeeeeeellllllleeeeerrrrr" he added, doing a perfect imitation of Ben Stein. "Anyone, anyone, the Great Deeepresssion" Tristan added to that, and the group cracked up. Then, they headed to bed.

The next day, they were all hanging out by the pool. "So, Pacey, how long have you and Joey been going out? Sarah asked casually.

"Pacey and Joey's faces turned bright red. "We're not- I mean, she's not-" Pacey stuttered. "We're not going out" Joey broke in smoothly. Sarah blushed. "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Please wait while I take my feet out of my mouth." "No, no, it's OK. We used to go out, but we broke up almost a year ago due to, uh, complications" Joey said. "Oh, OK" answered Sarah. "So, what's everyone doing this summer?" she asked.

The group was about to answer when a tall, brown-haired guy walked up to the pool. "Hey, Audrey" he said casually. Audrey paled visibly. "Hi, Chris. What are you doing here?" "Well, I'm here for MTV. I'm one of the guests." "Excuse me, are you Chris Hartford?" Sarah broke in. "Yeah." "I'm sorry, guys. Where are my manners? Chris, this is Rory, Tristan, Joe, Paula, Sarah, Joey, Jen, Jack, Mona, Pacey, and my boyfriend, Charlie" Audrey introduced, putting emphasis on the word "BOYFRIEND". Chris looked unfazed. "Nice to meet you all. Would you like some autographs?" Everyone did (except for Charlie) , so Chris handed them out, receiving profuse thanks. Audrey just looked annoyed. "What do you want, Chris?" she asked.

Chris looked hurt. "I just wanted to say hi". He turned to the group. "Audrey and I went to high school together" he explained. "We dated for a while, but nothing too serious." No one noticed the hurt look on Audrey's face, they were all too busy looking at Chris. "So anyway, there's a concert tomorrow night for MTV. M2M will be there, as well as 98 degrees, Jimmy Eat World, Michelle Branch, Sum 41, Default, Custom, Ja Rule, Outkast, Nelly, and some others. Oh, and some unknown band's opening. I can't remember their name. (I really can't! What was Charlie's band's name, again?) I was just wondering if you all wanted to go?

"Actually, we've all already got tickets" said Tristan. "But, thank you"

"Ok" said Chris. "See you all there?"

"Yep!" said everyone. Chris then left and Audrey breathed a sigh of relief.

OK, guys. Sorry I have to end it there and sorry this chapter's soooo incredibly short, but my free period's almost over. Next chapter will be up soon, I promise! J
