There it was, off in the horizon, the sun setting over the water with an orange and pink glow that seemed to completely consume the town. She never realized how much she had missed this place and how amazingly beautiful it was till now. She felt like she had been searching for this place her whole life and had finally found it. She looked over at Pacey and saw her future flashing before her eyes. Nothing could be more incredible than that.

"We're home."

"Yes, we are," she said with a sigh of relief. She grabbed Pacey's hand, never wanting to forget the way she felt in that moment.

"So, I was thinking we could go to my apartment, take your stuff in, and go tell everyone the good news. But if you're too tired we can wait till tomorrow to spread the word."

"Pacey, I want to scream it from the mountaintops! I would never be too tired to tell our friends and family." She leaned over the seat and kissed him.

"So…"he said softly, trying to talk between her kisses, "who should…..we….tell first?"

"Hmm," she pulled away from him ever so slightly, "Why don't we tell everyone at the same time?"

"Sounds like a plan, but how are we going to get everyone together without them being suspicious?"

"Well…..we'll just tell them that I'm visiting and that I wanted to get everyone together."

"That could work. Let's go to my place and we'll make the calls."

"Pacey wait!" All of sudden reality seeped in once more. "This will be the first time everyone has gotten together since Jen's funeral…. Do you think this is okay?" Tears began to build in her eyes. They both sat in silence for a minute.

"Joey, everyone will be happy for us."

"I know, but maybe its too soon. Maybe we're moving too fast. I mean, it doesn't even feel like she's gone yet."

"I know Joey, it's still fresh in everyone's hearts." He wiped away a tear thinking of how she wouldn't be there to hear their news. "If you really think we should wait we can, but Joey I love you, and I've never been more sure about anything else in my life."

"No, Pacey, you're right. We shouldn't wait. I love you and I know that Jen would be happy for us. This is what she wanted, for both of us." The tears overflowed from her eyes.

"Joe, come here." He held her in her arms, confirming for her that this was the right choice. It wasn't going to be easy without Jen. She realized now that New York had been her escape from the pain, but here in Capeside it was ever present. She couldn't run from it anymore. But they had each other and that was what would get her through it.

"Let's go see our friends, Pace. All of a sudden, I miss them terribly."

"I know. Me too. Let's go."
