Disclaimer: I don't own anything
A/N: If it seems that there's big chunk missing it's because I heard this song last night and I thought it fit Joey and Pacey so being the impatient one I decided to Jump forward, but to help you along here's a quick update. Joey and Dawson are over and they haven't spoken since she confronted him about Nikki, Pacey and Dawson have calmed down still not talking to each other basically no one really likes Dawson at this point. Jen, Andie, Pacey, and Joey, Jack are all going to the dance.
" uhg I can't believe I let you talk me into going to this stupid dance." sifting through dresses on the sales rack.
" oh come on Joey you know it's going to be fun." looking through the dresses pleading with Joey
" Andie how can you possibly think that going to a school dance could be fun?"
" really, how is dancing to some outdated music and drinking some watered down punch fun?" Jen states through the dressing room door " oh god this dress makes me look like a big yellow duck." looks disgusted at the mirror
" come on Jen you can't look any worse than I do at the moment." Joey yells from the dressing room next to her
" oh yes I can."
" come on you two why don't you both come out and I'll be the judge on how you two look."
" fine." Jen comes out in a knee length yellow strapless dress with some sort of yellow feather trimmed top.
" ok Jen that dress does indeed make you look like a duck" Andie tries not laugh and hands her another dress that's black with pink pinstripes and has spaghetti straps and is knee length. "here try this one."
" thanks Andie." grabs the dress and goes into the dressing room
" ok Joey your turn now" Andie yells to Joey
" oh, no I think I'll just stay in here."
" Joey don't make me come in there and get you."
" fine." Joey comes out in a floor length empire waist black dress with rhinestone spaghetti straps and velvet trimmed waist.
" oh, my god Joey you look amazing." Andie squeals in delight
" ok Andie calm down it's just a dress." embarrassed by Andie's excitement
" ok, sorry Joey but I agree with Andie on this one you do look amazing." Jen walks out the dressing room
" Jen you so have to get that dress it looks so cute on you." Andie gushes
" yeah Jen you really should get the dress."
" ok then that's settled ok now off to get our hair done." Andie claps grabs them both by the arm and they start to leave the store
" ok Joey remind me again why we our doing this?" Jen groans
" because it will be fun." gives a fake smile and rolls her eyes
at the B&B Joey is in her room getting ready when there's a knock on the door
" Bessie could you get that for me it's probably Jen just tell her I'll be down in a sec." Joey yells from her room
" Pacey what are you doing here." surprised
" well I'm here to pick Joey up for the dance."
" thought she was going with Jen and Andie?" skeptical of Pacey
" well see she was but I kinda told Jen to tell Andie she didn't need a ride."
" I see so Joey has no idea that you're going to take her."
" right."
" oh this should be good." smiles " Joey your date is here." Bessie yells
" you do know she's going to kill you?" whispers to Pacey
" I'm coming." putting her earrings in she looks up to see Pacey " what are you doing here?"
surprised to see Pacey
" I know but it's so worth it." smiles at Bessie
" I'm here to pick you up."
" ok I thought that Jen and Andie we're going to pick me up?" Joey gives Pacey a confused look
" well see I kinda told them that I would pick you up seeing as how you needed a date" gives Joey a mischevious smile
" Oh really, now you do realize that by taking me to the dance you are going to royally piss Dawson off"
" yeah so I don't care what Dawson thinks all I know is that I'm taking the most beautiful woman I've ever met to this dance and I don't care what anyone has to say." Pacey grabs her hand and places a corsage on her wrist
" thanks Pace." blushes
" ok you two smile" Bessie grabs her camera
" come on Bess we're going to be late."
" oh come on Jo just one picture please."
" ok fine on picture and that's it"
" good." Bessie takes their picture "you two have a good time ok."
" we will Bess." Joey smiles back at Bessie
" shall we." Pacey grabs Joey's hand and they leave.
Outside the school
" hey Pace before we go in I just want to make sure we're clear on one thing." Joey grabs his hand.
" what's that?"
" that we're friends and that's it."
" hey if I get to take the most beautiful woman in the world to this dance as my friend hey I'm happy with that."
" good." smiles nervously
"hey guys." Jen smiles happily at Joey and Pacey
" Jen hey."
" Jen." Joey gives Jen a look
" well I think I'm going to get something to drink, anyone else want anything." Pacey starts to go to the punch bowl
" no thanks." both laugh at Pacey
" ok Jen what's the deal I thought we were going as a group?" grabs Jen's arm and pulls her away
" well you see Joey Andie and I thought that it was time you had a good time and well who else better to show you a good time than Pacey, since you two seem to be getting along quite well." Jen gives Joey a mischievous look
" what's that suppose to mean?" looks at Jen like she's crazy
" come on Joey we can all see that there is defiantly something going on between you and Pacey."
" Jen Pacey and I are just friends that's all (pauses) and besides he only sees me as Joey his sparing partner nothing more."
" I don't think so Joey I can tell by the way he looks at you that he's in love with you and they way it looks you feel the same way about him."
" Jen things are so complicated right now?"
" how are things complicated? Let's see you both are single so what's stopping you from being happy?"
" Dawson is what's stopping me."
" Dawson how is he stopping you from being happy?"
" if Pacey and I get together it's just going to cause more problems and I just don't think I could handle it."
" ok Joey I'm going to say this as nice a possible and then I want you to go find Pacey and ask him to dance ok."
" ok fine what is it you're going to say?"
" screw Dawson and go after what you want."
" you're right Jen I'm going to tell Pacey how I feel."
" finally now go get your man." Jen smiles and walks off
the song "You and Me" by Lifehouse starts to play in the background when Pacey walks up and grabs Joey's hand.
" Josephine Potter will you dance with me?"
" I'd love to Pace." smiles and they walk out on the dance floor
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
" Pace can I ask you something?"
" sure Jo?"
" why did you show up on my door step and I want the truth."
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
" well you know I guess I felt sorry for you." tries to crack a joke
" Pacey no games I want the truth."
" if you want the truth just listen to the words of this song and it will tell you all you need to know."
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Pacey pulls Joey closer to him
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
" Pacey can I ask you something?"
" sure Jo."
" are you in love with me?"
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Pacey pauses for a minute and pulls Joey closer to him
" look at you how could I not be." Pacey leans down and kisses Joey passionately
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
" Pacey what was that for." taken a back by Pacey's action
" that my dear was a kiss."
" Pacey I know that but why?"
" god woman do I have to spell it out for you?" yells in a whisper
" yes." smiles
" I am 100 head over heels in love with you Joey I always have and I've always will."
" I know I just wanted to hear you say it." smiles and gives Pacey a hug
Pacey pulls away from the hug and gets down on one knee
" Pacey get up what are you doing?" embarrassed by Pacey's grand gesture" something I should have done along time ago ( pauses ) Josephine Potter will you be my girlfriend?"
" yes I will be your girlfriend." Pacey gets up and picks Joey up and gives her a very passionate kiss.
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
Ok that is it for now I don't know if I will update anymore. I am currently working on another project.
