"Hey kid get off of that now!" Chris was yelling at one of the younger boys who was trying to climb up on one of the boys cabin. Pacey walked up to chris slowly.
"What?" Chris asked barely containing solace.
(mocking)"What? What the hell do you think man, you're supposed to be watching the kids but instead you're sitting here yelling at the kid when you should be doing this...Pacey walks over to the cabin and pulls the boy down by the pants.
"Hey man watch it, you almost gave me a wedgie."
"Break my heart--get inside, wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."
"That was pretty good witter."
"Thank you...yeah i learned a lot from taking care of my illegitimate son." Chris just looks at him strangely.
"Why don't you go make sure the kid did what I told him to."
"Whatever." Chris walks inside the cabin.
(under his breath)"Dim bulb."
"Hey counslor."
Pacey swiftly turns around its none other than joey potter. A big smile takes over his face.
"Hey."
"All the kids are at dinner."
"Yep."
"So um, what are you still doing out here?"
"I was just about to go in..you?"
"I would but all those kids bunched up in one room with food and sharp objects, doesn't sound like the most pleasant evening."
"Give it a chance--they have jello."
"Bring it on."
They both walk into the cafeteria. They walk back out.
"Did you see all those friggin' kids in there."
"Duh, I was there pacey."
"Why don't we just sit out here by the tree and eat."
"And have bugs crawling up my ass--pass."
"Whatever miss priss."
"I'm not a priss, I'm just going to go back to my cabin and eat."
Pacey slides down the tree and sits down.
"Fine."
"You--you wanna come?"
"Miss potter I am appalled, the least you could have done was slip something' in my jello first."
"Shut up I just meant to eat Einstein. Besides you can't joke like that anymore, you have a girlfriend remember."
Pacey looks blankly as an awkward silence passes through them.
"Ye--yep you're absolutely right."
"I always am."
"Doesn't mean we can't hang right jo?"
"Well, if by "hanging" you mean talking about the current problems in my life than sure-no problem."
"You've always been selfish."
"Or we could talk about something that's wrong in your life."
"How's about we start with you?"
"Where do I begin." Joey replies looking towards the ground.
"How about the part that makes you want to crawl into a rock."
"And what part is that?"
"The part where you screwed up beyond belief."
"Yeah? So what part is that?"
"When you my dear, said something so bad, that it makes you cringe when you think about the probable damage that you have caused--am I close?"
"Scarcely." Joey says almost whispering suddenly looking him the eyes.
"He'll forgive you Joey, he always does."
"That doesn't change the events that occurred not even 3 weeks ago, when I said--
"Yeah I know alright he told me everything, I chalked it up to PMS but he didn't believe me."
"Right--was that your retarded way of taking up for me?"
"You could say that--you know regardless to popular belief I do actually share these weird friendship-like feelings for ya potter."
"Share?"
"Oh yes, I know you love me Joey you don't have to say it or anything though ,why it's written in your body language. You've got to learn to read between the banter."
"How's this for body language?" She flips him the bird.
"I think something's wrong with your finger potter."
"Oops slipped."
"Is there anything else you wanna talk about?" Pacey raises his eyebrow knowing he's referring to what he over heard while eavesdropping earlier in the girls bathroom.
"Like what else besides the obvious that I'm still upset about Dawson?"
"Like a certain be--
"Pacey?!" Andie calls out.
"What is it woman?"
"You're the cook--finish cooking."
"Right. Josephine we will be finishing this sometime soon I hope." Pacey says while holding out his hand to pull joey up.
(getting up)"Sure."she walks into the cafeteria.
"What were you talking about?"
"The demise of our relationship, no biggie."
"Shut up and cook."
"Is that all I'm good for?" Pacey asks in vain shock as they walk into the cafeteria.
"Yep." *************** Shows Jack driving down a narrow road not to far from the camp. Dawson is sleep in the passenger seat with his head half out of the window. He opens his eyes and looks around realizing that he had fallen asleep. He shakes the sleep off and looks at jack questioningly.
"What?" Jack asks sleepily.
"I fell asleep."
"Yeah you did."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You didn't tell me to."
"That's because I was to busy sleep!"
"Sorrry man."
"How far are we?"
"Maybe a hour away now."
"Good."
"Yeah good....so you do realize that joey is at this camp right?"
"Look I know what you're thinking but this trip is purely platonic. I just want to go because a good half of capeside youth is attending this apparently fantastic camp. I mean why else would everyone be there, not to mention pacey,andie,jen--
"Joey."
"Ok, yes...maybe sub-consciously I want to have the inevitable conversation you know, get some answers."
"Well I'm sorry to inform you dawson but joey may not have all the answers you might be looking for."
"I still need to talk to her though."
"Well you're officially past the first stage."
"What's that?"
"Admitting that you have a problem." Laughs.
"Ha ha, hey can I change the station this music is making me wish I were deaf." Laughs reaching for the radio tuner. Jack quickly slaps his hand.
"Ow!" Dawson cries rubbing his hand.
"Don't touch my radio." ********************* Shows Joey, Lena ,and Andie sitting at one of the more deserted lunch tables in the cafeteria.
"Joey, not that I'm rushing you or anything its just...when are you going to be choosing your prospects?" Andie asks looking over at the male counselors.
"Yeah I mean I put money on you Joey, you should definitely begin search-- and soon." Lena joins taking another sip from her diet coke.
"And just what the hell are my prospects?" Joey asked rolling her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Andie asks pausing from putting a fry in her mouth.
"I mean look around you." Joey says looking around the cafeteria.
"Yeah so?"
"So--so? Andie look, I'm not so sure I want to do this anymore. There is no one here available or that I would care to even have a conversation with, let alone sleep with."
"Well I guess you should have thought about that before you made the bet." Lena says almost to herself.
"The lady has a point." Andie says returning her attention to her plate.
Joey just sighed and began eating again. ******************************* "Ok Jen have you taken notice to any particular interests?" Abby asks eyeing Jen expectantly.
"No--not yet." Jen says disappointed.
"Well get on it dummy, or else we will." Buffy says motioning to Abby
"Oh yeah, Chris Wolfe may be up for the challenge." Jen says pointing at Chris.
"What about Adam? He's hot, and he's single guaranteed--I know--I dumped him." Buffy says almost laughing.
"Shut up Buffy you heard the woman--she's already decided on a worthy adversary. Kudos Jen-doll, he hot."
"Thank you." Jen smiles confidently.
"Well get moving then. It shouldn't be too hard considering he'll do anything with legs." Buffy says rolling her eyes.
"Yeah Jen when do you plan on making your first move?"
"Oh, soon--very soon. Don't worry."
"I never do." Abby says getting up.
"Me either." Buffy says following.
Jen throws the left over food on her tray in the trash and makes her way out of the cafeteria. *********************************************************************
