And here is part 3 – Sorry that it took so long.

Joey's POV:

The movie was nice, nothing I would watch again but good enough to lighten my mood a little bit. We left the Rialto in silence, it was a comfortable silence and I had to admit that I really enjoyed Pacey's company so far.

He had hardly said a word since he had picked me up a few hours ago but I was sure that a lot was going on in his life at the moment and I was sure that he was missing Andie like crazy.

I looked at him for a short moment, his hands were deep in his pockets and he was looking tired.

The last year was hard for all of us but Pacey had changed the most, of course we all had changed and we all had our problems and stories but Pacey wasn't the guy anymore he was one year ago. Sure, he was still a smartass and a troublemaker but more mature now and he was always there for Jack and Andie this past year.

"Did you liked the movie?" my poor try to start a conversation made me want to slap myself.

"Sure, nothing I would watch again but better than a Spielberg..." he stopped when he realized what he was about to say. "Sorry, I don't know if it's okay to talk about him after everything."

I gave him a small smile. "Sooner or later we have to talk about Dawson, I mean he will come back in 3 months and he is your best friend." Pacey just looked at me and nodded and again we fell in silence.

Pacey's POV:

We walked in silence. I wasn't sure if I should enjoy it or not. We had to spend the next 3 months together and no clue what we could talk about. I made the decision not to talk about Dawson anymore because I could see that she was still hurt.

"So, what are your plans for this summer Potter?" I asked and looked at her, a small smile on my lips.

"I want to change, I want to be a new Joey Potter. I mean more grown up and more self confident, not this little girl anymore. I want to have some fun and meet new people."

She had a huge smile on her face while talking about her idea and I had to try not to laugh because I don't really believed her.

"A new Joey? Sorry Jo, but I don't think you can really change your life in 3 months."

"Of course I can..." she bit her lower lip for a moment and then looked at me again. "We both can." I looked at her surprised and shook my head. "Sorry Jo, but I don't plan to change my life." She gave me a skeptical look and started to speak again.

"Really? You really want to spend the next 3 months in your room and hope that Andie will call you any second? Wake up Pacey. She has to bring her life back on track and no time to call you every day." I could not really believe what Joey Potter had just said and shook my head.

"I don't want to spend the next 3 months in my room. My dad would kick me out sooner or later anyway."

"Then do it. We are alone in Capeside for the next 3 months. Everyone is gone. Dawson, Andie, Jen and Jack. We can be alone and sad in our rooms or we can have some fun and live a bit. We are only young once Pace and I want to live now."

I was surprised. Who was this girl next to me and what happened with the real Joey Potter?

I thought about it for a moment and she was right. We had nothing to lose and a bit fun is always a good thing.

"Okay Potter, I'm in but now I'm curious. I new Joey Potter? What do you have in mind?" The wicked smile on her face told me that she definitely had a plan but I was curious and she was right, we are only young once and it as time to leave my shell again.

Now I couldn't wait what this summer would bring and I was curious if we could really become close friends.

"Well Potter, seems like you can be full of surprised and I can't wait to get to know this new Joey Potter." I put my arm around her shoulder and she smiled.

"You will meet her soon Pace and I already know what we will do tomorrow..."
