A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. I toyed with a few different ideas, but didn't really like any of them, so I hope this one works. And thanks for the reviews!

(Cut to the Icehouse. Andie, Pacey, and Jack are there, all at the bar and talking.)

JACK: You know, Pacey, you should seriously consider selling this place.

PACEY: And doing what?

JACK: Becoming a doctor. With your great medical expertise and everything.

(Jack and Andie start laughing)

PACEY: Ha ha. At least I care about my friends.

ANDIE: Care? You scared the shit out of us, Pace!

JACK: You know, I've been feeling a bit sick lately. What's your diagnosis, Dr. Witter?

(Jack and Andie laugh again)

PACEY: We'll see who's laughing when I stop giving you free food.

JACK, ANDIE: No, no wait!

PACEY: (smiles) Exactly what I thought.

(Cut to Dawson and Joey's house. They're in the living room, Joey's in her pajamas and looks tired, Dawson's dressed though.)

JOEY: (grumpily) I am inever/i going through this iever/i again.

DAWSON: I hate to disappoint you, but you do know that it's only going to get worse, don't you?

JOEY: (scowls) Thanks so much for reminding me.

DAWSON: I've got to go to work. Mom's going to fire me if I'm late again. I don't want the whole "I let you manage the restaurant because I thought you were responsible" speech again.

JOEY: I'll be here. Calling God on the porcelain telephone.

DAWSON: (smiles) Tell Him I said hi, alright?

JOEY: Will do.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

(Cut to Dawson in his office, doing paperwork. He looks frustrated, and is breaking a pencil when Andie walks in)

ANDIE: Dawson, what did the pencil ever do to you? I think you should consider anger management classes. They work wonders. (she pulls up a chair)

DAWSON: (smiles) Hey Andie. Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?

ANDIE: Well I was looking for a job, then Pacey hired me, and he's not the most observant guy in the world, and hasn't realized I'm gone yet. I'm just waiting for this (picks up her cell phone) to ring.

DAWSON: (laughs) Well some of us actually work at their jobs, me included.

ANDIE: (shrugs) I work, when I'm there. So where's Joey?

DAWSON: Taking up a permanent residence in the bathroom.

ANDIE: Sounds fun. Maybe I'll go see her.

DAWSON: Don't take it personally if she hates you.

ANDIE: (laughs) I'll try not to.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------

(Cut to Andie, walking in Dawson and Joey's living room, where Joey is laying on the couch with a stack of magazines and a bucket.)

JOEY: Hi. And I thought everyone was ignoring me.

ANDIE: Yeah, well I'm the brave one of the group. (smiles) How are you?

JOEY: This kid hates me.

ANDIE: You can get your revenge once you have it. I won't tell.

(They laugh)

JOEY: Nah, I don't feel like going to jail.

ANDIE: You're lucky Jo.

JOEY: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, being sick 24/7. While we're on the topic, why is it called morning sickness? It's more like morning, afternoon, and night sickness. iNever/i have kids.

ANDIE: But when you have the baby you'll be so happy! Aren't you excited?

JOEY: (smiles) Yeah.

ANDIE: See, it's worth it in the long run. Jen was so happy with Amy, Amy was her life.

(Both look down at the floor, and don't talk for awhile.)

JOEY: I never thought I'd say this, but I miss her. So much. I would have never imagined that I'd come to like her, but I did. And now I feel so bad for what a bitch I was.

ANDIE: But when she died, you were on good terms. Remember the good times. Forget the bad. I know she did. And I know she was happy to have you as a friend.

JOEY: (smiles) It's just so.weird without her, you know?

ANDIE: (nods) I understand. Completely.

(Joey starts to cry, and both girls hug.)

A/N: Okay, it was short & sweet. I'll try to make up for it with the next chapter, okay?
