Joey returned to her room after the banquet ended and was stopped in the hall by two guys.

''Miss Potter, we would like to invite you to our frat house pool party. Bathing suits are required, bikinis optional. We do hope you attend.'' they said handing her an invite.

Joey thanked the boys and entered her room not surprised to not see Jen. She figured she was with her boyfriend and would tell her about the party tomorrow.

The next morning Joey told Jen and Andie about the party and they were delighted to go. Her, Jen and Andie all went bathing suit shopping and arrived at the party late that afternoon. Jen went straight into the pool while Andie hung around the buffet table. Joey sat in a chair near the pool and all of a sudden the band began to play Hail to the Chief. Four guys wearing flag printed bathing suits appeared around Joey and started to dance and sing. The band then changed to an upbeat rap tempo and the boys began to rap. One boy held a gun in his hand and was sneaking around to Joey's side. A secret service agents spotted him and alerted his fellow agents. He tackled the boy while Bock, Joey's personal guard, grabbed Joey and put her in the secret service van to take to her father's campaign headquarters in California. The guard who had tackled the boy discovered it was just a water gun.

''I'm sorry I'm dressed like this but I didn't have enough time to, I don't know, get my stuff.'' announced Joey as she stormed into the building and headed towards her fathers personal secretary, Liz's, office.

People were turning to stare at her, but she took no notice, her anger washing away any feelings of embarrassment. Liz ran to meet her, brown eyes wide in worry as she took in the angry demenor of the young woman in front of her.

''Joey don't you look nice.'' she said.

''I don't care if he is busy, I need to talk to him. He has too many secret srvice following me.''

Liz nodded and headed into the converence room where Mike was talking to several people.

''Mr. President sir, your daughter's here. She wants you to cut back on the secret service agents.''

Mike looked at her. ''Can we do this later.''

Liz nodded and headed back to where Joey was waiting.

''He's a little busy right now.'' said Liz.

''Fine tell him that I'm going to quiet school and become a Hooters Girl. I hear they get nice pay.'' Joey said.

Liz nodded and headed back to Mike. ''Sir she's is very unhappy. I suggust just two agents and they man the floor not the door.''

''Let me talk to her.'' Mike said and he excused himself and headed to the office.

''You know I was going to wear that exact bikini today.'' Mike joked when he saw Joey.

''Dad, I'm being crowded by the agents. You know when Chelsea went to Stanford her secret service agents blended in.'' Joey said.

''Do you know how many threats I get against you everyday. It's a campaign year and I need to know you're ok.'' Mike told her.

''Forget it.'' Joey said walking back to the entrance.

As Joey was getting a jacket on, Liz ran up to her. ''Jo, you got it. Go back to college, you're on a new diet. Secret Service light.''

Joey hugged her. ''Oh thanks Liz.''

Joey arrived at the college happy to have only two agents following her. The next day her and Jen decided to head out to check out some parties. Joey spotted a group and headed over. It turned out to be a rally againest her father. The boy speaking wanted Joey to come and have a debate but Joey walked away.

''Why didn't you say anything?'' asked Jen.

''They are intitled to their opinon and it's free speech.'' Joey told her.

That night Jen brought Joey to a giant water slide party. Andie, Jack, and Dawson were already soaked.

''Come on Joey it's fun!'' shouted Jack as he jumped onto the slide, sliding down. Dawson grabbed Andie's hand and they slid down next.

''Try it Joey.'' Jen said before sliding down.

Joey took a deep breath and a running start before sliding down to the ned. When she hit the barrels at the end, the boy walking across fell into the water. Joey looked up to see Pacey sitting up.

''Sorry about that. I'm Joey remember me?'' she askd.

''Of course I do Potter.'' he said standing up and offering her his hand.

She took it and said. ''Race you to the top?'' before running up the stairs to the top, Pacey right behind her.

When they reached the top Joey slid doown first closely followed by Pacey. When he reached the bottom, he accidently rolled on top of her. They were inches apart and if Joey lifted her head even a little they would have kissed. A flash went off in the background but neither noticed. Pacey finally got up and helped Joey up. She smilied shyly at him and they raced back up the stairs.

The next morning Joey was pacing back and forth thinking about Pacey and how she almost kissed him when the phone rang.

''Hello?''

''Joey is that you?''

''Yeah what's going on Liz?''

''Have you seen the paper today?''

''No I haven't seen the paper.'' Jen handed her the paper that had just come. Looking on the front cover she saw her and Pacey after they had riden down the slide with him on top of her.

''Now I have.''

''Who is that Joey?''

''He's just a friend. We had ridden down the slide and we just happened to be that way.''

''Needless to say your father is very disappointed. He feels that he gave you an inch and you took a mile.''

''Put him on.''

Liz handed Mike the phone. ''Hello?''

''Daddy I'm sorry. I'll be on my best behavior from now on.''

''You'd better be. I have to go now. Bye Jo.''

''Bye dad.''

She hung up the phone and turned to Jen. ''Well, my dad's mad at me and I've got to get to class. I'll see you later.'' Joey said leaving the dorm.

On her way out she bumped into Pacey. She saw he had the newspaper in his hand.

''Pacey I'm so sorry about that.'' Joey said.

Pacey smilied at her. ''It's ok. In all honesty it's very exciting to be in the press.''

Joey smilied and headed to class.

''Hey Dylan, Bock, what's up guys?'' Pacey said to her agents holding his hand up for a high five. Both guards just looked at him and followed Joey out.

As she was returning to her dorm, a group of paparazzi surrounded Joey. Bock and Dylan held them back while Joey ran down the hall. She happened to be on the boys floor and knocked on Pacey and Dawson's room. Pacey opened the door and Joey rushed inside.

''Come on in.'' Pacey said closing the door behind him.

''Sorry it's just the press is out there and I needed somewhere to hide.'' she said walking to the window and looking out.

''It's ok.''

They both looked out the window and saw a dozen photographers waiting for Joey to come out.

''I've got an idea. Here put this on.'' he said handing her a hoody and a hat. She quickly put them on and he motioned her to follow him. They left the room and Pacey shouted into his room

''Hey you can stay as long as you need to Joey.''

He nodded to her and they left the dorm walking right past the paparazzi.

They stopped for food and as they ate Pacey asked Joey

''How does the food taste?''

''Like freedom.'' Joey replied.

''So tell me about you Pacey.''

''Well I'm from Capeside Mass. My dad's a sherrif. I have three sisters and a brother and I don't smoke.'' He told her.

''Interesting.'' Joey told him.

''What about you Potter?'' he asked.

''Well I'm from Washington D.C. My dad's the president. I have an older sister who owns a resturant near the White House and I'm tired of always being followed.''

''Cool.'' Pacey said.

Joey smirked. "I'm glad my life seems so interesting to you."

"So, what are you studying here?" Pacey asked. "Like, what career lives in the future of the President's daughter?"

"I'd love to write a book."

"Titled, "My Life as the President's Daughter?" Pacey asked, grinning.

She grinned back. "Maybe. Can I used the title?"

"As long as I get proper credit. And five percent of the fee."

Joey laughed and rolled her eyes. "Sure thing. I owe you...for rescuing me today."

"Just doing my patriotic duty."

"How many American references are you going to make today?"

He thought for a moment, before shrugging. "I don't really know."

They looked at each other, before laughing.

After they were done eating, they were walking down the street when a photographer spotted Joey. The two of them ran to avoid the paparazzi and ducked for shelter in a theater. They made their way down to the seats and sat down. Jey took off the hat and looked around smiling.

''Your face.'' Pacey said.

Joey quickly reached up to whipe her face.

''No you're good I mean you look like you're experiencing everything for the first time.'' he said.

Joey smilied at him and replied ''I am.''

Pacey called over the guy who was selling popcorn and put it between their seats. Joey ate popcorn and watched the movie, thinking this was probably the best day of her life.
