Disclaimer: do I really have to go through this again?
A/N: thank you to my wonderful reviewers you guys make me think I'm actually good
At Capeside High
Andie, Jen, Dawson, and Jack are in class
" hey have you guys seen Joey this morning?" Dawson asks turning to look at his friends
" no, I haven't seen her." Jack says
" I saw her this morning, before first period." Jen tells Dawson
" yeah, I haven't seen Pacey either." Andie cuts in
" oh, well you know Pacey he's always late for school." Jen points out
" yeah, that's true." Andie agrees
" that's strange Joey's usually never late." Dawson tells them
" yeah, she's probably in the bathroom or something." Jack tells him
" yeah, you're probably right." Dawson accepts Jacks answer and turns back to the front of the class
Back at the janitor's closet
" hmm, that's strange I don't remember leaving that window open." the janitor goes to close the window " probably some stupid kids messing around in here again." the janitor closes the window and leaves
outside
" ok, that was close." Joey says trying to catch her breath
" yeah, about that I'm sorry I had no idea anyone was going to walk in." Pacey tells her catching his breath
" Pacey it's a janitor's closet what did you expect." Joey hits him in the arm
"damn, woman next time I get the urge to kiss you I'm just going to do it." Pacey tells her rubbing his arm
" no, next time I pick the place." Joey says mater of factly
" fine, have it your way." Pacey says giving up
" so, Pace what do we do now seeing as we can't go back inside." Joey asks
" yeah, that would be kind of suspicious, ok I have an idea follow me." Pacey grabs Joey by the arm
" um, Pace schools that way." Joey points in the opposite direction he is taking her
" yeah, I know we'll get to that later right now I have something I want to show you." Pacey explains to her
" ok, but it better not involve climbing through anymore windows." Joey tells him
" promise no window climbing." Pacey tells her
At the marina
" ok, Pacey what are we doing here?" Joey asks
" come with me." Pacey leads her through a maze of boats until they come across one boat that's worn and battered " here she is." Pacey points to the delapitated boat
" here, who is all I see is a old boats." Joey says looking at the boats
" I know she looks rough now, but with a little tlc she'll be good as new." Pacey tells her
" um, Pacey I think it's gonna take more than a little tlc to fix that monstrosity." Joey says scrunching up her face
" I know and that is why you're gonna help me fix her up." Pacey hands her a scrubbing pad
" oh, no Pacey I'm not helping you." Joey shakes her head
" sure you are and if you're good enough I just might let you come with me." Pacey tells her
" and where do you plan on taking this thing?" Joey asks taking the scrubbing pad and begins to work on the boat
" I was thinking about taking her out on the Keys this summer." Pacey tells her
" what makes you think I'd even want to go?" Joey asks
" I don't know maybe it would give us a chance to be free." Pacey tells her
" I can't just drop everything and hop on a boat with you." Joey tells him
" I'm not asking for an entire lifetime just a summer." Pacey explains to her
" no, way Pace am I spending three months on a boat with you, and besides Bessie would never go for that." Joey shakes her head and continues to scrub the boat
" who says Bessie would have to know and anyways wouldn't it be nice just to get away from Capeside." Pacey trying to convince her
" ok, how about I think about it and I'll tell you when this boat's finished." Joey tells him
" sounds like good to me." Pacey smiles at her " hey you hungry?" Pacey asks
" yeah, why?" Joey says
" I was thinking that we could go grab something to eat and then head back to school." Pacey suggests
" that sounds good, but one thing how do you plan on getting back in school without getting caught?" Joey asks
" don't worry Jo, I've got it all covered." Pacey reassures her
" ok, let's go." Joey says standing up
Back at Capeside High
Jack, Jen, Dawson, and Andie are at the lunch table eating lunch
" so, still no sign of Joey Dawson?" Jack asks taking a bite out of sandwich
" nope, this really is not like her to just cut class like this." Dawson says
" you know I haven't seen Pacey either today, but that's really nothing new I mean he really has never been too found of school." Andie points out
" hmm, ok both Joey and Pacey are gone isn't that a bit odd?" Dawson explains
" no, it's just a coincidence any way Joey probably went home sick or something." Jen explains
" yeah, you're right really why would Joey and Pacey skip class together seeing as they can't stand to be in the same room with each other." Andie points out
" she has a point." Jack cuts in
" see Dawson nothing to worry about." Jen reassures
back at where ever Pacey and Joey are
Joey and Pacey are walking back to Capeside High
" Hey Pace can I ask you something?" Joey says taking a drink of her soda
" sure, Potter what is it?" Pacey tells her
" what's going on between us?" Joey asks
" what do you mean?" Pacey asks taking a drink of his soda
" well, one minute we're working on a biology project and the next we're making out in closets and talking about sailing away." Joey asks
" strange isn't it?" Pacey jokes
" seriously Pace, are we friends are we more what are we Pace?" Joey asks making little hand gestures
" I think at this point seeing as we both in with other people, we are good friends who like to kiss each other." Pacey explains
" so, we're friends with benefits right?" Joey asks
" yeah, you could say that." Pacey leans over and kisses her on the cheek
Joey smiles and playfully shoves him
" ok, now I want you to follow my lead ok." Pacey tells her
" what are you doing Pace?" Joey asks
" I'm doing the one thing that's gonna safe both our butts." Pacey pulls the fire alarm
" Pacey, you can't do that?" Joey yells at him
" sure I can now go out to the football field and I'll come out later." Pacey explains to her
" ok." Joey starts towards the football field when she sees Dawson walking towards her
" I thought that she was at home?" Dawson asks seeing Joey with Pacey
