Quote is mine, Meli Dav's quote, coolies.

It was Friday and Pacey was walking in the hall when he spotted Joey. "Hey Joey." "Hey Jailbait." "We should talk." "Wow, Pacey Witter wants to talk to little ole me! I can barely control myself." "About what happened on Tuesday..." "What happened?" "We almost kissed." "Oh please, get over yourself. I would never stoop so low." "Jo," "nothing happened! End of story. Nothing did or ever will." "Oh, well good I was starting to think Ice queen was defrosting." "Well no worries, I am as prude as ever when it comes to you, Witter." "Bye, Godzilla breath." "Bite me dog teeth." "Like I said before Potter, you tell me when and where and I'll be there." Pacey walked away when Joey smiled at him.

It was 5th period and Dawson and Pacey were in gym together. "Hey Dawson, I kind of have a problem." "What's wrong Pace?" "Well, I think I might like this girl." "So what's the problem?" "Well, there are two. She doesn't like me, and second, she hates me in everyway possible." "Well, you should, I don't know, forget about her." Pacey shook his head. Today they were playing basketball. Pacey went to get his ball when Eric Stepski threw his ball at Pacey's face. His nose started to bleed. "That's what you get Witter for talking to my girl." Pacey's nose was broken. He stood up. "Fuck you Stepski. Next time I would watch where your ball lands." Pacey started a fight. The P.E. teacher intervened. "Break it up! Stepski that's a three day suspension, Witter, I'll see you in Saturday school for that swear word." Pacey went to the nurse who sent him home to go to the hospital for his nose.

Joey and Charlie had lunch 5th period. They were in line when Mark fitter cut in front of her. "Hey, you cut in front of me!" "So, what's your point?" "Her point is that you better get to the back or else." "Ohhh, little new boy is gonna hurt me." He grabbed Joey's hair. "Isn't that right babe?" Charlie punched him and Joey hit him right where it hurts. The teacher ran up. "You two, Saturday school tomorrow!"

Jen was in history class 5th period. "Miss Lindley, what do you think about all of these small countries wanting to have some profits from our discoveries?" "Well, I think it's not our fault that they can't afford to get equipment to go under water. I think the bigger countries should fuck them all." Everyone gasped. "Miss Lindley, I will not have that word said in my classroom. Saturday school tomorrow at eight in the morning."

"We are missing one. A miss." "I'm here." "You're late Josephine." "It's Joey." Joey looked at all of the other people. "Is this a surprise party?" Pacey said, "oh yeah, surprise. Woo where's the gifts." "Sit down Josephine!" Joey sat next to Jen. "Okay, today you will be in this library until 5:00. If at anytime you need me I will be in my office taking care of important matters. Do stay quiet children. If I have any problems all of you will organize my filing cabinet. Understand? Good." On that note Mrs. Trinkle left.

After Mrs. Trinkle left Abby Morgan spoke up. "Well, well, well, I knew the convict's daughter couldn't stay away." "Shut up Abby!" "Reer, a little catty aren't we? So, why are we all here? Jen?" "I swore in class. Ms. Trudgeman is living a total pre world war two era." "O how BORING! What did you do Gonzo?" "I swore when I got hit with the basketball." "Really people, you do crap!" "What did you do Abby?" "Well, if you must know Dawson, I was caught getting down and dirty in the boy's locker room. They don't know I had ecstasy too." "Liar." "What did you do then Miss Josephine?" "Me and Charlie slugged Mark." "O that's stupid even for you two!" she looked at Dawson. "What did you do Dawson?" "I am not going to tell you." "Fine, keep your little secret. It was probably some homosexual thing anyway. I'm out." Abby walked away.

Dawson and Jen went somewhere, Charlie went looking around, and Pacey went into an aisle to read. Joey went up to Pacey. "Hey Jailbait." He looked up. "What do you want ice queen?" "Nothing from you. Wow, is Pacey Witter actually reading?" "Ha, ha, very funny, I always read V.C. Andrews books." "Really? She's my favorite author. What book?" "I'm reading flowers in the attic, what did you want exactly?" "I wanted to look at your nose." Joey reached out but Pacey backed away. "I'll be gentle Pace, I promise." She carefully rubbed his nose. Her foot slipped and she gently hit him. "Ow! Dang it Joey!" "I'm so sorry." She kissed her finger and placed it on his nose. "All better?" Joey looked at Pacey. "You have something in your hair." Joey reached out and pulled out the fuzz. "Got it." They just looked at each other. They slowly got closer. "Hey Gonzo and convict's daughter, I want to play a game so come on." Abby walked away. Pacey got up and gave Joey his hand. She took it and stood up. They were inches away from each other. She gave him a crooked smile and walked away.

"Okay, now since every one is here we will play truth or dare." "Oh please, that is so middle school." Jen said. "Come on guys, it will be lots of fun!" Dawson said excitedly. They all agreed to play. "Okay, I'll go first. Dawson, truth or dare? "Dare." "I dare you to kiss Charlie, on the lips for ten seconds." Dawson walked up to Charlie and kissed him. Abby was keeping time. "Is it just me, or did Dawson enjoy that?" Dawson spoke up, "okay, Pacey, truth or dare?" "Truth, dare, whatever." "Come on Gonzo!" "Fine, Dare." "Keeping with the kissing theme, I dare you to kiss, for 20 seconds, all action kiss, Joey." "No way." "Yeah Dawson, I will not kiss him." "Pacey, you said dare." Pacey looked at Joey. "Fine," he walked over to her, "what kind of kiss?" "He said all action gonzo, which means lips, tongues, and maybe moans." "Just so you know Potter, it's not for my enjoyment." "Mine either." "Let's go! I'll keep time." Pacey put his arm around Joey and slowly brushed his lips on hers. The kiss started to deepen. His tongue was putting pressure on her teeth. She opened them up so he could explore her mouth. He did the same. Joey put her arm around his neck and her other hand was rubbing his face. Their eyes were closed tight. "Abby it has to be 20 seconds already." "Sorry Jen, I got lost. Times up you two." Slowly they opened their eyes. They then moved their lips apart but they were still pretty close. "Well, that was a kiss I was waiting for." "Oh whatever Abby. I want my turn and I say we quit this game and go to the gym." Said Jen. Every one agreed. They tip toed past Mrs. Trinkle's office and they walked. Joey was walking next to Pacey. They didn't talk. Every once in a while they would smile at each other.

When they reached the gym Pacey and Dawson decided to play basketball. Abby was cleaning her nails, and she was sitting next to Jen who was watching Pacey. Joey and Charlie went to the other bleachers and talked. "So how was New York?" "It was great. A lot of gay guys." "Well then it was perfect for you." "Yeah. To many I think." "Well, at least you had guys interested in you." "Joey, you have guys into you." "Name one." "A certain guy you love to hate and hate to love. You like to call him Jailbait." "Pacey? Whatever Charlie. Pacey hates me." "You are so blind. I think he may be in the early stages of lust already. You like him too." "Okay, so maybe I have a tiny feeling that I don't want to kill him." "I knew it! I think you guys would go so great together." They started laughing. Jen walked over. "Hey Joey." "Hi Jen." "Joey don't you think Pacey looks hot?" "What? He's okay, if you like that look." "Joey, do you like Pacey?" "Where did all of these questions come from? I am Pacey's enemy. I don't like him in any way, shape, or form." "Cool." "Jen do you like Pacey?" "A little yeah. I just wanted to make sure you didn't like him." "I thought you liked Dawson?" "Actually, I think Dawson plays for Charlie's team." "I always thought he was a little homo but I never fully thought he was gay. That kiss today proved it." "Hey I'm not so good at dribbling so maybe Pacey can help me. Bye." Jen walked away. "Joey, why did you lie to Jen?" "O come on Charlie, look at them." Pacey was holding the ball with Jen in between so he was holding her too. "There she is and here I am. My quote came true." "Which one?" "Boys are like bees, they are attracted to the roses who are beautiful on the outside. They skip over the tulips. If the bees took time to look at the tulip they would realize even though it's not as pretty, the inside is sweeter." "That is beautiful Joey." "I'm the tulip and Jen is the rose. I don't think this bee will bother." "You don't know." "I look at them and I feel horrible. I can't watch anymore. I'll be in the library." Joey left.

Ten minutes later, Joey heard people walking into the library. "Hey Potter." "Uh, what do you want?" "I don't know. We could sing, dance, or whatever you want. I would like to have some of our anti- social, fun deprived banter." "I'm not in the mood Pacey; I don't feel good right now." "Since when is Josephine Potter not in the mood to fight?" "Don't call me Josephine." "Josephine? Why not Josephine? I like Josephine, Josephine, and Josephine." "You are so in for it Witter." Joey knocked down an already kneeling Pacey. She got on top of him and started to tickle him. "No way Potter." He started tickling her. "Okay I give." Joey, who was still on top, started laughing. When Joey could open her eyes, she noticed Pacey was looking at her and smiling. "I better get up." Before she was off of Pacey, he put his arms around her and pulled her into a kiss. They both wanted it so badly. It was a lips only kiss, and it was short, but this is what they were longing for. Slowly their lips separated. When Joey opened her eyes, Pacey was looking at her. He whispered, "Feeling better Jo?" Joey got up. She looked at her nonexistent watch. "I, I have to go. It's almost time to leave." "Joey!" Joey left Pacey sitting on the floor.

Mrs. Trinkle came in. everyone was at their own desk. "Well, you children were good. You may leave, except for Miss Abigail." Joey got up and ran to the door. Pacey couldn't catch her. When she was on the main street, she bumped into a guy. "Sorry." "It's okay, I'm new here. My name is Jack McPhee."

Must read

This is not a story that follows the show. I will have certain things I like show up but nothing will be in order. They McPhee's are in now, Dawson could be gay, Jen likes Pacey, and Charlie is Jen's brother who is gay. He is Joey's new best friend. There will be dating and depression in the next chapter. Maybe some double, no quadruple dating next. Jack will not become gay. We have Dawson for that. For future reference, Joey has a Cousin, Sam Potter, who lives with them.
