Katie- Again, sorry for taking so long to update. But I really appreciate you reviewing my story!! :) Hope you enjoy the next part.

"Hi." Pacey said, surprised. His attention was on one particular person, he looked familiar... Pacey shook himself out of it. It couldn't be, he wouldn't have the guts to come around. "Welcome to the Potter B & B." He greeted the guests. "I'm Pacey." At this the 2 girls in the group smiled slightly but said nothing.

"Is Liz here?" The guy Pacey had had his eye on asked. Pacey blinked.

"Uh, no. No, she's not here right now." He paused. "I'll... get Joey." He turned around. "Jo, you've got customers!" He yelled. At this, a pretty brunette came rushing to the door, a smile already on her face.

"Thanks, Pace." She said before focusing her attention on the others. "Hi! Are you guys looking for something?"

"We probably need a place to stay." A spiky haired boy whispered to a dark haired one who seemed familiar. The dark one nodded.

"We're going to need some rooms, probably 3." He turned to the others. "We have to share, all right?" They all nodded.

"Whatever." A particularly beautiful blonde said. She smiled at Pacey. "What my brother means is that we're looking for a place to stay for a few nights. We'll need 3 rooms at least... do you have anything available?" Pacey shrugged and looked at Joey. Joey nodded.

"Yeah, of course. Come on in." She ushered everyone into the living room where she and Pacey had recently been. "I'm Joey," She introduced herself. "This is my friend, Pacey."

"Hey." Pacey greeted everyone with a smile. Max eyed Pacey somewhat warily.

"I'm Max, this is my sister Isabel," he pointed to the blonde girl. "And our friends- Michael, Maria, and Alex." As each of their names were called, they smiled and said hello.

"So, um, what brings you to Capeside?" Joey asked.

"We're sort of on a road trip..." Alex said. "In the direction of a town a friend is staying in."

"Oh really? Who's your friend?" Pacey asked, sitting down on the couch. "Maybe we'll know them."

"Oh, you do." Michael assured him. Pacey became intrigued. He faced Max.

"You're not somehow related to Chris Wolfe, are you?" He asked, Joey immediately hit her head.

"Oh! I thought he looked really familiar!" She paused. "Are you guys twins or something?" Max, as well as the others from Roswell, seemed confused.

"Who's Chris Wolfe?" Isabel questioned. "I'm Max's sole sibling." Pacey and Joey looked at each other.

"Oh. Um, he's just some annoying jerk that lives here." Joey finally answered. "So you aren't related to him at all?"

"No..." Max said.

"Odd," Pacey replied. "Because you look exactly like him." Max shrugged.

"So if not Chris Wolfe, who'd you come to visit?" Joey inquired. Just as Max was about to answer the front door flung open and Liz strolled in, taking no notice of the visitors.

"Hey guys!" She called out cheerfully. "We finally got back from shopping." She turned to Pacey. "What're you doing here so early? It's only like 10. I'd have thought you'd still be sleeping." Pacey shrugged and smiled.

"I woke up early and decided to see what you guys were up to." He said.

"Oh. Well I'm glad you're here because I have to talk to you about something." She said. Pacey nodded.

"OK, sure." He agreed. Joey cleared her throat.

"Liz, you wanna tell Bessie that we've got customers or should I?" She said not so subtly. Liz grinned sheepishly.

"I will." She said and turned around. Liz was frozen in place as she saw everyone. She frowned at Max. "What are you doing here?" She asked icily. Joey and Pacey exchanged glances and frantically tried to leave.

"OK, I'll just go tell Bessie..." Joey said. "Pace?"

"I'll... help put up the groceries." He offered. Joey nodded and grabbed his hand to lead him out, but Liz grabbed his hand as well.

"Guys, wait." She demanded. Joey and Pacey quickly turned around. Liz bit her lip, a habit she'd picked up from Joey. "Um, Bessie told me about the Capeside Cotillion." She began. Joey became worried but hid it.

"It's in a week." Joey said. "I'd have told you, but I wasn't sure how long you were going to stay..." Liz nodded, understanding.

"So it's like a... ball? That type of thing?" Pacey nodded.

"Buy fancy clothes, limo, and all." He replied. Liz smiled.

"Cool." She paused. "So, I'm thinking... this is probably the type of event where you need a date, right?"

"Yeah." Pacey glanced at Bessie, who was having trouble bringing in some of the bags. "I think I'd better help Bessie..." He thought aloud. He was about to leave, but Liz held him back.

"Pacey, remember your promise?" She said quietly.

"My promise?" Pacey thought for a while. "Um... yeah." He paused for a second. "I can't believe you remembered! I mean that was like, what, a month ago?" Liz smiled.

"Well, now that I've refreshed your memory... will you be my date for the cotillion?" Pacey froze. He stared at Liz, then looked at Joey. "Pacey?" Liz wondered. Joey cast her gaze downward and nodded just enough so that Pacey could see. He sighed and attempted to smile.

"Sure." He agreed. "I mean I'll have to check my schedule and all..." He joked. "But I'm pretty sure I'm free." Liz smiled brightly.

"Great! So..." Joey suddenly looked up.

"I'm gonna help Bessie." She said to nobody in particular, cast a quick glance at Pacey, and then walked away. Liz watched her go, worried.

"What's up with her?" She asked Pacey.

"Uh... troubles with Dawson." He told her. "He might not go to the Cotillion, and they always go together, so Joey... she's kind of upset about it."

"Oh." Liz frowned. "She'd be dateless. Can't she find a date?" Pacey chuckled lightly.

"Uh, Liz, in case you haven't noticed we're a small group of friends. Jack always takes Jen, Andie and I went when we dated, but now I'm taking you, and Dawson is possibly not going... that spells problems for Andie and Joey." Liz suddenly thought of

something.

"She asked you, didn't she?" Pacey was quiet.

"She was about to..." There was an awkward pause. "But I'm sure she won't mind." He assured Liz. "I mean, I'm sure she can find a date... our group needs to expand anyways." He looked at the Roswellians. "Any of you guys feel up to going to a cotillion in a week?" He asked jokingly. Liz shook her head.

"I shouldn't have asked you, Joey's going to be angry at me now."

"What? Why? Why would she be angry? She'll understand, Liz."

"Because, Pacey, she wanted you to take her and now you're taking me! Besides, the fact that she has a crush on you makes it even worse." Pacey scoffed.

"A crush on me? Joey? Please!" He rolled his eyes. "Ice Queen over there has dedicated herself to Dawson. They're 'soulmates', remember?" Liz shrugged.

"Trust me, Pacey. I've seen her watching you." Pacey shook his head.

"You've lost it, Parker." He said. "We talked earlier. She just misses hanging out, we haven't done that much lately." He paused. "Look, I really think I'd better help Bessie with the groceries now." He hurried into the kitchen. "It was nice to meet you all." He said when he stuck his head back, then left again. Liz turned back to her friends and stared at them all for a minute. The tension in the room was thick, too thick... something had to be done.
