"So what has the illusive Dawson Leery been up too?" Pacey asked.

"I guess he's been working with Todd for the last three years now. Todd actually isn't so appalling, I guess. He's actually off for the majority of the summer, minus a few errands he has to run for Todd. He's heading out here. Dawson really hasn't been able to keep us updated on his life, to busy with the whole movie business. Anyway last Christmas Gale and Lily flew out there for a few days, he was just finishing up some huge project. I'm not sure if you know of the whole Joey situation, but her and Gale are really close."

Pacey nodded and looked towards Jack.

"I filled him in on most of it last night, for the most part he knows what happened." Jack said.

"Okay, that kills about an hour of explaining for me. Where was I, okay. You see Gale and Lily have become so incredibly important to Joey and vise versa. So naturally Gale called here Christmas day, first Gale and Joey were on the phone, but soon Lily found her way to the phone, then somehow the phone ended up in Dawson's hands. Joey wasn't sure what to say, but that was okay because Dawson did. Ever since we get an occasional update from Gale. That's the last that we had heard from him since Christmas. Yesterday he called while we are out, congratulating Joey. Then today, he sounded, well kind of like that misplaced idealist that we knew way back in high school. I don't know, just something in his voice. Should be an fascinating weekend, that's all I have to say."

Just as Jen finished her sentence a very glistening Joey walked through the doors.

"Did I just hear Jen Lindley say, 'that's all I have to say' well I guess there is a first for everything." Joey's voice was altered due to her heavy breathing. She opened the refrigerator and grabbed bottled water. She took a sip and leaned against the counter.

"So what is so remarkable that you are actually completely speechless?" Joey asked, wiping the sweat from her face with a towel.

"Well..........." Jen began.

Okay I know it's short...but there is a good reason...you'll just have to see Chapter 8 to see why!!!!
