Joey catches the slip and winces as Marks eyes go wide for a second and then narrow to slits.
"No problem i am glade you enjoyed dancing with my girlfriend." Mark says as he grabs Joey's arm to lead her away. "Well gentelmen if you will excuse us i would like to have a word alone with Joey."
"By all means, and Jo maybe we can talk later." Dawson says
"Maybe, Dawson we will see." She says as she looks at Mark nervously.
Mark smiles and nods his head as he leads her over to the tree line.
"You do realize that you just pissed him off right, Dawson. You also know who will pay for it right." Pacey asks him.
"You know something Pacey i decide something today." Dawson says as he stands watching Joey and Mark intensly.
"Oh really and what praytell might that be?" Pacey asks him.
"Simple, no matter how much i have put the past behind me, i would never forgive myself if i didn't do something to help her." Dawson says as he starts walking toward them.
Pacey doesn't say anything just silently cheers in his head and thinks. 'There is the Dawson Leery i know, look out Mark your in for it.' He then walks to Bessie where she is sitting with the Leery's and watching Joey nervously, knowing he is going to hit her again. Silently she is praying for something to stop him.
Pacey walks up to them and says. "It's on now Mark pissed Dawson off."
