It was the Sunday before school, the week before school ended. Joey and Pacey were dating for three weeks now and Pacey had to go back to his aunt's house on Tuesday.

Pacey, Dawson, Charlie, and Sam were sitting on Dawson's porch. Jen, Joey, and Andie were swimming in the creek. It was a hot day but Pacey had other things on his mind. All of a sudden, Charlie started singing.

"Stupid girl, na, na, stupid girl."

Everyone stopped talking and stared at Charlie. Sam started laughing.

"What the hell was that Charlie?"

"I was singing stupid girl by cold. Don't tell me you haven't heard it. Have you Pacey?"

"Yeah, I've heard that song: I like this song better. Stacy's mom has got it going on, she's all I want and I've waited for so long."

"So who have you wanted for so long?"

Joey was in front of Pacey and had her hands crossed trying to look serious. The smirk on her face didn't help her. Pacey smiled and chuckled.

"You of course."

Pacey picked up Joey and spun her once before setting her down. When her feet touched the floor Pacey gave her a romantic kiss.

Slowly Joey opened her eyes. "Good answer Witter."

Pacey smiled and ran his fingers through her hair. "You are so sexy when you're breathing."

"Pace, I'm always breathing."

"I know." Joey smiled at Pacey and rolled her eyes. She tried walking away but Pacey spun her around and caught her in a kiss. They were getting into it when Dawson yelled that this isn't the back seat of a car. Pacey and Joey sat down and Andie started talking.

"Joey, there is this Cinderella ball that I think you, Sam, Jen, and Pacey should enter."

"A Cinderella ball?"

Jen spoke up. "Yeah Joey, you know, pretty gowns, dancing, and not to mention ten different prince charmings. I did it in New York with Charlie."

"Uh no. there is no way I'm parading around a guy, in a gown, while dancing. No way."

Andie started laughing. "Joey, did I mention the one thousand dollar prize if you win?" Joey's mouth dropped open. "Also you can parade around your personal prince charming if Pacey does it too."

All the girls started staring at Pacey. Pacey stared back. "No, I am not ballroom Dancing." Joey gave the best pouting lip ever. "Don't give me that look Josephine. I won't."

Joey put back her lip and looked at Jen and Andie. They nodded their heads. Joey nodded back. Joey turned to Pacey and started kissing his neck. Pacey kept saying no but after a few seconds his voice started to crack. Joey moved up to his ear and Pacey backed away.

"Damn it woman, we're with our friends. You know what that does to me. Fine, I'll do the stupid ball thing with you."

Joey jumped up and hugged Pacey. She was saying I love you like a parrot.

It was Tuesday, the last day Pacey was with Joey before he had to go back with his aunt. Joey and Pacey decided to sign up for the Cinderella ball.

It was a hot day. Joey was wearing a blue tank top, jean shorts, and a pair of black sandals. Pacey decided to wear an old but nice t- shirt, blue jean shorts, and some skateboarding shoes. When they met their eyes lit up. They approached the table for sign ups and they learned it would take all summer to complete.

"No way Potter!"

"Please sweetie, I'll make it up to you."

Pacey looked at Joey and raised his eyebrows and smirked.

Joey smacked him. "Pacey, you that when the right time comes, it will happen."

"This is why I love you. You can always put me in place."

"I have no idea why I love you."

Pacey smiled and wrapped his arms around her. He gave Joey the most passionate lip kiss he could. After he removed his lips, Joey opened her eyes and looked mesmerized. "Could that be a reason?"

"Oh yeah." Joey put her hand behind Pacey's head and pulled him down to kiss her again.

Joey and Pacey looked at the list of who signed up for the Cinderella ball an hour later. They noticed Jack and Melody Shark signed up for the ball as well. The lessons weren't going to start for two weeks so they just worried about Pacey's departure.

Doug's truck was filled with Pacey's things and the motor was running. Joey and Pacey were saying goodbye for two weeks.

Joey felt like a part of her was going to leave her. It was her heart. She was crying now because she is going to miss Pacey so much in the next two weeks.

Pacey was mad at his father for making him leave Joey, his Joey, his one and only love for another two weeks. The time would be ticking by so slow until he could see her beautiful face again. His heart would beat slower until he could feel the magic they shared once again. Pacey saw Joey crying.

"Don't cry Jo'. I'll see you soon."

"I know, it's just that, I love you so much and we have to separate again."

Pacey wiped away her tears and turned her head up to face him.

"Why do you love me so much?"

Joey looked wide eyed at him.

"Why? Pacey you are everything to me. You're perfect the way you are. There is nothing I don't love about you."

Pacey held Joey and kissed her hard. He whispered into her ear how much he loved her and that he will call her when he gets there. Joey and Pacey kissed until Pacey got into the car. Pacey waved and Doug backed out of the drive way and drove off.
