Another wonderful discalimer...I in no way own any part of Dawson's creek..Or Disney ... I'm just borrowing their commodities to tell my little story.

"Well, Leery you seem to be lost in the world of complete slumber." Todd yelled as he walked through the doorway. Dawson shook his head and looked up at a very exultant Todd.

"What has you beaming today, actually wake up on the right side of the bed? That's a first. What are you going on about?" Dawson said, rubbing his eyes. He looked down at his watch, it read 7:22am. "See you actually got to go home and lay in the horizontal position, I on the other hand stayed here all night working the bugs out of your last scene."

"Leery you are absolutely marvelous, did you get through to the end?"

Dawson nodded his head.

"Bloody fantastic, I knew I could count on you."

"Todd frankly this unexpected flight of merriment you are partaking in scares me, are you feeling okay, because I must be really tired to think you are actually in a good mood."

"Leery, go home get some rest I'll see you in exactly six hours. Be ready to finish up this movie, I am really thinking that you need to see a little less of me, my scornful side is starting to rub off on you. See you shortly." With that said Todd walked back out of the office. Dawson let his head fall back down on the desktop with a loud thump. He let out a sigh.

"Only three more days, and I will have a pleasantly deserved break from that man." He gathered up some papers and opened the desk drawer grabbing his keys and cell phone. Before he could get out of the office he ran back into Todd.

"Leery, I almost forgot, here's a little bonus. A personal thank you for everything. Now get out of here before I change my mind." Todd patted Dawson on the back and walked towards the studio. "Six hours Leery, get your arse moving." Todd laughed as he walked down the hallway. Dawson shoved the envelope in his bag and headed home.

Jen folded laundry, standing over the couch. Joey sat with on the oversized chair, her feet up on the coffee table. On her lap was a lap top computer. She would scan the screen, wrinkle her nose then type away, just to repeat the entire process ever few minutes. She ended with slamming the laptop shut and groaning. She looked up and saw Jen holding back a grin.

"As much as it scares me that when Janet gets back, from maternity leave, I'll essentially be unemployed I will still celebrate the day it comes happily."

"Joey, come on you love it, admit it. Your 22, working for the Boston Herald. You are the interim Arts and Entertainment editor. Tell me where the drawbacks are again." Jen smiled and threw a tee shirt at Joey.

"Let's see I barely have time to write my own pieces, I have to decide what goes where, who gets to do what and lastly I have to tell them to rewrite it when it sucks. If I get through the next 5 weeks without killing someone, that Jen will be a miracle." Joey stood up and threw the shirt back at Jen.

"So I take it that you still haven't figured out what you're doing when Janet gets back."

"Jen, I don't know. I love this job but I have to start paying my school loans back. The Herald won't be able to pay me what I need to stay afloat. I have enough saved to get through the summer, hopefully by then I'll figure out what I'm doing." Joey reached in and started help fold the laundry. "Must be nice, you already have the perfect job lined up."

"Perfect, maybe not, but I can't complain about the pay." Jen paused for a moment before delving into the next subject.

"Joey, this whole thing with Dawson coming back, are you all right with it?"

Joey took a deep breath and thought for a moment before she answered Jen. Jen knew this meant Joey was uncomfortable, just unwilling to admit to it.

"Jen don't worry about it, he's an old friend. I'll be fine, anyway Lilly will love seeing her brother." Joey shifted the subject slightly to get her out of the spotlight. "Gale is dropping her off tomorrow night."

Jen stopped folding and looked a Joey, "I though she was coming Friday morning."

"Well her flight leaves at 5am,and as much as I tried to convince her she could stay here with us, she insisted on staying at the hotel at the airport. She'll be back Saturday morning at 8am."

"Quick trip?"

"Yeah, she is interviewing some chef in Maine."

They have finished folding the laundry and fall back to sit on the couch.

"I got Eric to cover for me on Friday, that way I can get everything set up for your big day, all while entertaining Lily." Joey said.

"Our big day. I think you are part of this party too." Jen said as she gently punched Joey's arm.

"Okay to another delicate subject, have you told Pacey about Audrey coming in and vise versa? I mean we didn't know a thing about Pacey when we invited Audrey, I just don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable."

"Actually I pulled Pacey aside before they left. I told him Audrey would be coming in. I felt that was one bomb I could defuse. He asked how she was doing, I think he is actually happy that she has found someone."

"What about Audrey?"

"Well I e-mailed her Saturday night before I went to bed. Then Sunday night she e-mailed me back, she said that would be great to see how he was doing. Maybe they can actually have an amicable relationship after all."

"Maybe." Jen replied.

Jack walked through the front door carry his briefcase.

"Well look who is here." He handed Joey a small plastic bag. "Okay I thought you might need these tomorrow night."

Joey opened the bag and smile. "Thanks Jack." She slowly pulled out three DVD's, The Little Mermaid , Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast. Joey laughed. "I'll I'm missing is one tiara and 'Princess Night' will a ragging success. You know Jen tomorrow night in my room we are having an enormous turnout. I'm sure Lily and I could squeeze you in."

"I'm sure that your little get together will be a hit, but I think two is the maximum capacity for your room, besides I don't think we cold convince David to sit and watch all three of those classics if I paid him. Maybe Jack would be interested though."

"No thanks, I am going out with the guys from work tomorrow night. Joey you and Lily can have the whole house to yourself." Jack winked back.

"Well suit yourself, at least someone will be enjoying my company." Joey said as she stuck her tongue out at the other two. Suddenly pillows were flying across the room bombarding Joey.

More??? Soon!! Very Soon!!!
