*Friday Night*
Joey is babysitting Alexander. He is asleep and she is casually flipping through a magazine. A knock startles her and she jumps up and quickly makes her way to the door.
Dawson is standing in the doorway, "Joey, I really need to talk to you. My life is rapidly turning into some seriously disturbing joke."
" Shhh, you wake Alex up, your life will be over and you won't have to worry about it being a joke."
She shuts the door and motions him to follow her into another room. He does so.
" So, what's the problem?"
" Jen's ex boyfriend from New York is staying at my house."
" Oh, Billy. So that's the big dilemma?"
Dawson looks at her quizzically for a moment," You're not helping."
Joey sighs" Dawson, what' s the big deal? I mean, I thought you were with Jen. You guys are a couple, right?"
" Yeah. . ."
"So, it shouldn't matter."
" Well, you know, it's just that Mr. Smooth rides into town and Dawson bowling starts sounding pretty lame."
"Dawson, bowling always sounds lame."
"Billy's staying at my house which I hate. If I kick him out, I look petty and insecure but if I let him stay, I feel like a patsy."
Joey was confused, "Why'd you let him stay in the first place if you are so uncomfortable with the fact that he is in town?"
He brushed his hair back with his hand, "Jen."
Joey sighed, "Dawson, do you trust Jen?"
He hesitated to consider it, "Yes."
"Then you have nothing to worry about." She logically explained.
"Dawson, relax, don't worry about it. You know, it's all going to blow over and you're going to be on to bigger and better problems before you know it."
" You think so?"
" Really. It's all going to be fine."
" You're right. Thanks. You're the best."
He started to leave but turned around to face her, "You know, I shouldn't have even needed to come over here. The guy is obviously whacked in the head or something. He actually thought that you and Pacey were in the early stages of some dysfunctional mating ritual." He laughed, lightly.
Joey hesitated before laughing, "Yeah . . ."
Dawson leaves, slamming the door, which wakes up the baby.
She heads into the kitchen to get a bottle for baby Alexander. By the time she returns the baby is asleep once again. Joey was surprised and then turned and saw that The English Patient was on television. She smiled, finally something put the baby to sleep.
