Joey was sitting on the Witter's porch when a truck pulled up and a familiar face appeared.

"Well Miss Potter, I do believe you are sitting on the wrong porch."

"I'm sorry Doug, I was looking for Pacey."

"You won't find him here. He moved to Sand hair Virginia." (I made up this town.)

"Thank you Doug." Joey was whispering because she was about to cry.

"Why are you looking for him anyway?"

"I realized I'm in love with him."

Doug's eyes opened wide when he heard this. He started laughing and hard laughing it was.

"Why are you laughing?"

"My brother has shit for brains. He thought no one liked him in this town so he left and all along there was a girl that loved him. He's such a dork."

"I would leave too if I could."

"Well don't. Little baby brother is coming home in two weeks. He said some babble about casting."

"Dawson is casting for his new film in two weeks. Thanks Doug." Joey kissed Doug on the cheek and ran home.

Monday at school, Joey had no idea who to talk to about her problem. When she was at lunch, Jen walked in with blue plaid skirt, a white shirt with blue lettering, blue socks, blue shoes, blue jewelry, and even blue eye shadow. Joey needed to talk to Jen.

"Hey Jen, can we talk?"

"Of course Joey."

"I have money and everything I just don't have the expertise."

"What are you talking about?"

"I need to go shopping and I need your help picking out everything, from clothes to shoes to makeup, everything."

"What's the special occasion?"

"If I tell you will you promise not to tell anyone?"

"Yes I promise, now spill."

"Pacey is coming home in two weeks."

"Why is it such a big deal?"

"I think I love him Jen."

Jen sat back with her eyes wide open. She started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Pacey left because he thought no one liked him and,"

"Yeah I know, he had a girl who loved him. I heard it already. We have to weeks to get everything perfect. Can we start after school today?"

"Sure. We can go shopping every other day."

After school, Joey walked over to Jen's house and they went to the mall to get the perfect outfit first.

"Here Joey, try on this."

"I don't like it."

Joey walked out of the changing room and handed the shirt to Jen.

"You've tried on at least thirty shirts and skirts. You need to pick something!"

"I just didn't find the right thing yet."

Jen kept looking around. She spotted the perfect dress for Joey.

"Joey!"

"What's wrong Jen?"

"I found the perfect dress for you."

The dress was made from stress material and was black. It had a plunging neckline and a low back. It was short but not too short. The dress wasn't that formal so it was perfect for a day when you just want to look pretty.

"Joey come out and let me see it."

Joey came with the dress and it fit her perfectly. It clung in all the right places.

"It looks great Joey."

"I thought so too."

Jen looked at her watch. "If you hurry, we will have enough time to get you your lineless undies and strapless bra."

"I need that stuff too?"

"Of course, you don't want lines on your ass or straps showing right?"

"Okay, to Victoria's secret it is!"

Two weeks later Joey was ready to face Pacey. It was the day of casting so Joey and Jen went to the little rented room Dawson got for casting. Pacey was already there. When Joey walked in Pacey stood up.

"Hello Dawson."

"Hey Joey, wow! You look nice."

"Thanks, I thought I should look presentable to my fellow actors."

"You look beautiful Jo'."

"Thank you Pacey, you don't look bad yourself."

They smiled at each other and took their seats. Casting was first for Wendy, Dante's first girlfriend. Dante was Pacey.

"Pacey I need to talk to you."

"Sure Joey, is that new perfume?"

"Yeah it's filtro amoroso."

"What does that mean?"

"It means love potion."

"It smells really good, but you always smelled good."

"Pacey you have to come here now!" Dawson said.

"Okay!" "We have to talk later Joey."

Pacey got up and walked over to Dawson. Melody shark was the 1st person to audition for Melody. They were performing the part where Wendy faints after learning Dante is in love with someone else. She fainted and Pacey caught her. She said her lines and when they were done Pacey was telling her how good she was. They ended up flirting for a while. Joey just sat there and watched. Jen came up to Joey.

"Hey Joey, you tell him yet?"

"What do you think?" Joey pointed to Pacey and Melody flirting.

"They are just talking Joey."

"No, they are flirting Jen, flirting! I'm supposed to tell that guy that I love him? It just won't happen."

Joey got up and went into another room where no one was. She started crying.

"Joey, are you okay?"

"Yeah Jen, I'm peachy Keene."

"I wouldn't worry. I know he's just being Pacey. You shouldn't cry."

"How the hell am I supposed to act Jen?"

Joey saw Jen and felt bad.

"I'm sorry Jen. I don't mean to take my frustrations out on you. I just don't know how to react when the guy I'm in love with is flirting with the biggest slut I've ever seen. I should have known it was hopeless."

"I don't think it was hopeless."

Joey stopped crying and stood still. Jen was smiling and Joey just heard Pacey's voice. He heard what she said! Pacey walked over so he could see Joey's face. Jen left the room.

"I would say the plan worked."

"I, uh, how long, uh, there?"

"I was standing there long enough to hear you say you loved me."

"Oh."

"I'm sorry I made you cry Joey." Pacey wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"I don't know why I'm crying. This didn't go the way I planned."

"Did you not want to have the guy tell you how much he loves you?"

"He does?"

"Oh yes, the guy loves you so much that he never stopped thing about you. He was dreaming about you, your face, your hair, your lips and how much he wants to kiss you."

"Why hasn't he already?"

"He's waiting for you to tell him you love him again."

"I love you Pacey. I'm in love with you. "

"That's all you had to say. I love you too Joey."

Joey smiled and Pacey kissed her. It was a kiss that let out all of the feelings they ever had for each other. When they were mid kiss, Dawson walked in.

"Hey guys, we need to get back to, oh sorry."

They stopped kissing. "People always get in the way. We're coming Dawson!"

"Shall we Potter?"

"We shall." Joey grabbed Pacey's hand and gave him a little peck before leaving the room.
