Dawson didn't have much trouble getting Lily upstairs, but getting her to change her clothes, that was a whole different story. She skipped around the room giggling at her brothers' attempts to catch her. He finally sat down on the floor and gave up. Lily still skipped around the room, it was at this time he noticed all the photos on the walls. Joey's room was immaculate, as he would expect, but her walls were lined with amazing pictures. There were pictures of her childhood, pictures of places, pictures of people in her life, and pictures of celebrities.
There was a rather big picture on the far wall that caught his eye. It was a small child, appearing to probably be Lily, walking away from the camera on the beach. The picture was in black and white, but it was amazing. He stood up and walked over to it.
"Lily, is this you?" he asked.
"Uh huh, it's me at the beach."
"Did Joey take this?" Dawson looked over at Lily who had calmed down and walked to her brother. He leaned over and picked her up. Lily nodded, answering his question.
"Joey takes lots of pictures of me." She then pointed to other pictures on the walls. There were a few more of Lily, one with Gale, another with Jack, and several of Lily alone. He let Lily get back down, and she returned to her skipping. As he glanced around the room there was one that caught his eye, it was one of Pacey, Joey and himself. They were maybe fourteen years old. He walked over to it and ran his hand over the glass. Just at that moment he heard Lily squeal with laughter as Joey walked into the room. He quickly turned around.
"Looks like you have been a raging success," she teased. "And you young lady. Hmmm, I wonder what I could do to make you put your pajamas on. How about a big bowl of popcorn and maybe, just maybe Dawson will stay and watch a movie with you."
Lily ran over to Dawson quickly, "Will you really?" Dawson nodded and Lily quickly hugged is leg. She ran over to Joey who then helped her change.
After a few minutes Lily was all ready. She walked over to Joey and whispered something into her ear. Joey smiled at Lily then Dawson and nodded her head. She reached over to the nightstand and grabbed Lily's tiara. She gently set it atop Lily's head.
"Look I'm a princess," Lily proudly boosted.
"I see." He said as he leaned down and kissed her cheek. "May I have the pleasure of escorting you my lady." Lily giggled and grabbed a hold of his hand.
"Why don't you head downstairs, there's more room for all if us down there. I'm just going to grab a few pillows and blankets." Joey informed them.
Once downstairs they all were settling in. Dawson had set down on the end of the couch with Lily right beside him. Joey handed them each a pillow. She set the other pillow down at the other end of the couch.
"Now what movie would you like to watch?" Joey asked Lily.
Lily stood up on the couch and chanted, "Little Mermaid, Little Mermaid."
