Dawson searched through his bag for his ringing cell phone. Having finally retrieved it he brought it to his ear. "Hello."
"Hey!" Joey exclaimed.
"Joey, hey. How are you? How are things in Boston?" he asked.
"Actually, great," she told him, sending another smile Pacey's way. Pacey returned the smile. "How's the weather there?"
"Other than that big snow storm this morning," he joked from his L.A. mansion, "Not so bad. So, what's up?"
"I, uh, have some news," she began. She couldn't believe that she was telling Dawson, the guy that she once thought was the one and only for her that she was marrying someone else. And not just anyone, Pacey, someone he had known forever.
"What's up?" Dawson asked curiously.
"Pacey asked me to marry him, we're engaged," she exclaimed.
"Oh my God, Joey that's great! Congradulations! Is he there?" Dawson asked.
"Yeah." She said, moving closer to Pacey so that she could share the phone with him.
"Hey man," Pacey said into the phone.
"Congrats Pace! You guys are gonna do great. Did you set a date yet?"
"Not yet, but we're thinking June," Pacey said.
"You know you'll have to find the time and come," Joey informed him.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," he told them sincerely. A knock at the door shifted his attention. "Guys, I hate to run, but I have someone at my door. But I am so happy for you, congradulations!"
"Thanks man," Pacey replied. "It means a lot to us coming from you."
"No problem."
"Bye Dawson," Joey said.
"See ya," Pacey told him.
"Bye guys," Dawson replied.
Joey hung up the phone and turned back to Pacey. "Well, it's official. Everyone knows now," she said, scooting flirtatiously toward him.
"Yeah, they're all gonne be pretty bummed when they find out it was just a practical joke huh?" he teased.
"Yeah, guess I should take the ring off now," she said, fiddling with it on her finger. He grabbed her hand, stoppping her, and kissed her finger, directly above where the ring sat.
"Did you ever think we'd end up here?" he asked her, looking up into her chocolate brown eyes.
"I only dreamt it," she told him. "I never thought I'd ever achieve my dream, but it turns out they all came true."
