"I can't believe we survived," Joey said packing her bags. "I mean it seems like yesterday I just go here."
"I know what you mean. I can't wait to see my brothers again. Win has assured me that he has grown a foot." She replied with a laugh.
"Its great that your Uncle invited us all out for the holidays."
"Its no problem, besides I think he is so curious about who I am talking about so much."
"You mean a certain someone you are always talking about," Jen told her coming in. "Jack is coming up as soon as he finds a parking spot in this whole mess of a campus."
"I know the place is crazy with all the people leaving," Faylinn agreed as she finished packing her bag. Moving to the window she looked out as students flocked off campus. "Jen, Johnny is going to love you. You will be the only semi-single girl at the place since Charlie couldn't come."
Jen laughed sadly at the comment. "Is your brother a flirt?"
"The worst," Joey told her also laughing. "I hate answering the phone if it is him, he is so cute trying to impress me."
"That's Johnny for you the biggest flirt in the 4th grade."
"Ladies, Ladies, I am in college not 4th grade," Pacey joked with them entering the room. He dropped his bag on the floor and pulled Joey into his arms.
A few minutes later Jack came into the room muttering about the lack of parking. "Why did we have to bring van any…." His voice trailed off as he saw the pile of luggage in the room. "Did we pack the whole campus ladies?"
Ignoring him Joey and Faylinn piled luggage into Jack's arms and linking arms with Jen walked out. Before Jack could say anything Pacey left the room as well laughing silently.
Looking around the empty room Jack groaned as he carried the bags out. He managed to make it to the end of the hall before Joey and Faylinn returned taking the bags from him.
"Come on, we have to meet Dawson and Gail in twenty minutes." Faylinn told Jack, a huge smile lighting up her face when she said his name.
An Airport:
"Faylinn!" Dawson yelled as soon as she came through the doors. Rushing over to her he pulled her into his arms his lips meeting hers in a passionate kiss that left them both breathless.
"Dawson, man you got an audience," Pacey told him snickering his arm wrapped around Joey's waist.
Looking around Faylinn and Dawson noticed the amused bystanders, some who were clapping for the couple who were so obviously in love. Faylinn quickly buried her face in Dawson's chest where she could feel him trying to suppress laughter.
Seeing his chance, Pacey jumped at the opportunity to make the moment last forever. He reached into his pocket and knelt down on the ground. "Josephine Potter, I have loved you so much that the lure of the seas could never make me forget how loved you make me feel with a look. Say you will marry me and by my Jo forever." Pulling a small velvet box out of his pocket he held it up to her.
The silence in the airport was audible as Joey reached a trembling hand to the ring. "Where did you get that ring?"
Not the answer he was hoping for Pacey took a deep breath and continued on as all the others cheered him on. "I asked your dad for permission to marry his daughter and he told me where to find it. If you don't want this…" his voice trailed off as his eyes filled with tears. "What do you say Jo?"
All she could do by this point was nod and nod she did. Reverently Pacey slid the ring onto her finger kissing her hand as he did so. Standing up he pulled her into his arms as the terminal erupted into applause.
"Well, now that was beautiful," a voice said coming over to the group.
"Robert!" Faylinn cried jumping into his arms, "what are you doing here? I thought you said you weren't coming."
Robert quickly moved and hugged Jack before turning to Faylinn, "I wasn't, but then I got a message from Will." Seeing the worry that jumped into her eyes he rushed on, "nothing bad, just a little reminder about family."
