Title: The Matchmaker
Author's Note: My first Dawson's Creek fan fiction ever. I would really like feedback (positive or negative) on this fic so I know that I'm heading in the right direction.
Summery: It's Valentines Day at Capeside High and the school has set up its very own matchmaking service. The results are in and the creekers are left scrambling for damage control.
Time: February of Season Three
Joey Potter's head snapped up from her second period english class book called 'The Stone Angel'. Two short, loud rings of the school's bell signaled the end of second period and the beginning of lunch.
"All right class," Mr. Latchlock said. "Tonight's homework includes the reading of Chapter four of the Stone Angel and the assigned questions for chapter three."
Joey gathered up her books and walked out of class with the rest of her classmates of second period english.
Andie McPhee walked up to Joey and handed her a sheet full of questions.
"What is the Andie?" Joey asked. "A survey for the year book?"
"Wrongo. It's a match maker survey."
"A match maker survey?" Joey asked skeptically.
Andie nodded excitedly. "Every year, the student council does something to celebrate Valentines Day. Match making is this years' thing."
"Oh right. Forgot. I remember last years' idea. When Kenny Reiling decided for everyone to do an on-line dating chat and Mary-Beth ended up having a fifty year old guy stalking her and stealing her underwear off of her clothes line?" Joey said. "No thanks. I'll pass."
"Oh, come one Joey," Andie prodded. "This could be fun. This could be your chance to find the man of your dreams."
"Thanks, but no thanks," Joy commented. "I've had enough problems with the male species for the past month without having to go search out more trouble."
"Joey," Andie started. "Haven't you ever wondered that this might be you're chance to get Dawson back?"
"Andie, in case you haven't noticed, Dawson and I are currently on Hiatus right now. He told me flat out that he didn't want me. Understand?" Joey asked irritated. "Besides. What good could I stupid little match making survey do anyway?"
"Well you could take the test and make sure that the answers you right down would match Dawson's and Volia! It proves that you're soul mates and he'll come running back to you. Great idea, eh?"
"I guess so. But I'm not sure if I even want to get back together with Dawson."
Joey looked down at the flyer. "But what if I don't get Dawson? Then what?"
"Then we break into the office and switch the results. It's that easy. Now come one Jo. What's the worse thing that can happen?"
"We get caught and get a record and stuck in Capeside forever?"
Andie sighed. "Trust me Joey. Do you think that I'd ever let anything happen to my record, let alone anyone else's?"
"I still don't see the point," Joey complained. "If Dawson and I are meant to be together, then I would feel it and I'm just not feeling it."
"Joey. This is just for some fun. What harm could it do? Besides, if things between you and Dawson don't work out for some reason, you'll get to see some other of Capeside's Cuties that you're compatible with."
Joey glanced at Pacey and Dawson chatting away and eating lunch. Andie saw this. "Don't worry," Andie assured Joey. "I asked Jack to have them do the test as well."
"And Jack agreed to this?" Joey asked skeptically.
"All right. I said I'd help him with his math homework."
"Okay," Joey relented. "Got a pen?"
Andie clapped her hands excitedly. "You won't regret this."
"I hope not," Joey said as she filled out the survey question by question.
When Joey had finally finished the questions, Andie took the paper.
"I'll hand it in for you. Now, don't you worry Jo. I have everything under control."
Joey watched as her friend skipped down the hall towards the library and couldn't help but feel like she was sinking. "I hope so Andie," she muttered to herself. "For your sake and mine."
