Faylinn stood at the station, shivering slightly in the cool night air. She watched as people got off the bus, watching for that figure she missed so much. Several times already she had called out to tall men with blonde hair only to be disappointed. She impatiently checked her watch again; she could dimly make out the numbers 6:15.
She began to pace back and forth in effort to keep warm. Silently she thanked herself for sending the taxi back and not making it wait. She could have seen the bill inside her head, as the meter kept ticking off the time. Crossing the street she went into the gas station and looked for the payphone.
"We don't have one," the attendant behind the counter informed her. "I've been watching you out there. I think you got stood up."
"She didn't," a voice from behind them said.
"Dawson!" she exclaimed running into his open arms. She relaxed as he enveloped her in his embrace.
"Sorry, I'm late. I miss…" he was interrupted by her lips which had found their way to his.
Pulling away, she took his hand and led him out of the gas station. "I have the perfect movie and this time I won't fall asleep," was the last thing the attendant heard as they left the station.
"So how did you like it," Joey asked the next
morning, as Dawson was getting ready for the boat ride.
"Like what?"
"Empire of the Sun," Joey said shooting him
a sly look. 'Isn't that the only Spielberg movie, you don't own?" (A/N
I love the move Empire of the Sun, and I just recently saw it again so
that is why I used that one.)
Dawson was saved from replying when Jen and Jack
flew into the room. Running over Jen gave him a huge hug, all the while
yelling at him for not visiting sooner. Jack was next giving him a hug
and welcoming back to Boston. Charlie, Pacey, and Faylinn followed soon
after all ready for a weekend of fun and friends. (A/N in this story Charlie
is not a jerk.)
Sunday morning around 4:00am
"Rise and shine all," Pacey commanded from the deck. He ignored the protests from below continuing, "you are all going to miss this dazzling show if you don't hurry."
Faylinn was the first to come topside. She
had wrapped a blanket around her and laid down on the matt they had made
earlier in the day. A few minutes later the whole group was on the deck
and looking to the sky.
"I'm so glad we got out of the city for this," Jen
said in awe as shooting stars kept flying across the sky.
"I know, the view would not have been the same,"
Joey replied snuggling closer to Pacey.
"Let's make a pact," Jack said suddenly breaking
the comfortable silence.
"Jack, this isn't going to be one of those every
year we will do something kinda pact is this?" Jen asked teasing him.
"No not really, just that no matter what happens
to us, we always remember the love that brought us here."
"I like that kind of pact," Faylinn spoke up as
the celestial light show came to an end. Sitting up she saw the sun beginning
to rise.
"We'll Jack I think we should drink to that," Pacey
joked pulling out 7 mugs. "Coffee slightly cold but still good,"
With a laugh the friends each took a cup, enjoying
the company if not the coffee.
