Baha - thanks for reviewing. Thanksgiving happens at the end of november (on the last Thursday of Nov. to be exact). Historically, it suppose to celebrate the Pilgrims and the Native Americans feast back when the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth. Nowadays, its basically a time for families to get together and give thanks for everything they have and an excuse to pig out. Turkey is the traditional meal.

Rachel00 - thanks for the review. Hope you keep enjoying it!

Andie's POV:

Parking the car in front of Leery's Fresh Fish, I got out and headed inside. The place was packed. I knew Jack had to be here somewhere though as he had told me to meet him here. I stood on my tiptoes, scanning the restaurant.

"Looking for me?" a voice said behind me, only it wasn't Jack. I turned around to find Pacey standing there.

"Pacey, its good to see you," I said throwing my arms around him.

"Its good to see you too McPhee. How's school going?"

"Just fine," I replied stepping back.

"But let me guess you brought schoolbooks home with you so you can study."

"But of course," I told him with a smile. "Can't let anyone get ahead of me now can I."

"Ever the overachiever," Pacey said with a smile. "Well I need to get back to the kitchen. My lunch break is up. Jack's over at the bar with Jen and Dawson's bartending," He told me. "As soon as Joey shows up we're all here."

"Thought the reunion was tomorrow," I quipped.

"Guess everyone's excited to see each other," Pacey told me. "I'll talk to you later," he told me and then disappeared toward the kitchen.

Having a direction to head in now, I made my way toward the bar. I spotted Jen before I spotted Jack, her blonde hair sticking out from the crowd. Jack of course, was sitting next to her. Coming up behind Jack, I threw my hands over his eyes.

"Guess who?" I told him.

"Um . . . Charlie."

"Charlie! Whose Charlie and I don't sound like a guy."

Jack stood up and turned to face me. A smile on his face, he enveloped me in a hug. I hugged him back, hard not to as I was half afraid he would drop me as he picked me up off of my feet.

"I've missed you," Jack said.

"Can you let me go, its hard to breath," I said.

"Oh sorry," Jack told me as he put me down on the ground.

"Thanks," I said more than happy to have my feet back on the ground. "How's work?"

"Fine. The kids were actually well behaved today taken into consideration it was the day before a vacation. I actually got something accomplished."

"Sounds like you made out better than my professors. Half the students didn't show and those who did just wanted to goof off."

"Except of course for my sister."

"Why go to class if your not going to pay attention."

"Have a seat," Jack said indicating the stool he had been sitting in next to Jen. He sat down next to me and pulled his drink over to him. "Hey barkeep you got a new customer here," Jack called out to Dawson.

"Keep it up and I'll call the police to get you out of here," Dawson told Jack a smile on his face. I laughed. Man, I had missed this group. "Hi Andie. Welcome home, what can I get you."

"Just a diet coke please," I told him.

"One diet coke coming right up."

"Same old Andie," Jack said leaning forward to look over at Jen.

"Hey, someone has to be sober to drag your sorry butt home," I retorted indicating his already half downed jack and coke.

"Room for one more."

The three of us turned around to find Joey standing there.

"Joey," the three of us exclaimed at the same time. Standing up I gave her a hug. When I was done, Jack gave her a hug followed by Jen.

"Looks like the gangs all here," Dawson said sitting my drink down at my spot.

"Didn't realize your Mom had you on the schedule Dawson," Joey commented.

"Wasn't planned however, its kind of hard to tell your Mom no, so here I am. Can I get you something?"

"Just a glass of water please."

"An easy request to fill."

"Man, she's making you look adventurous Andie," Jack said, a comment which got him an elbow in the ribs from me.

The four of us sat down, Joey taking the empty stool on the other side of Jen.

"Here you go," Dawson said as he sat Joey's glass of water down in front of her. "When did you get in town?"

"About a half-hour ago," Joey told him. " I stopped by the house, said hello to Bessie and Alexander and Grams told me Jen had gone in search of Jack so I came here. If nothing else, I knew I'd find Pacey here."

"So what are we going to do girls, hang out here all night and keep Dawson company or go find something else to do?" Jack asked.

"I haven't had a chance to catch a movie since school started."

"What?" Jen said. "They are keeping you way to busy at that school. I'm sure there is a movie playing that we could all agree on watching. What do you say Joey?"

"I'm up for anything," Joey said taking a drink of her water. Dawson had been beckoned over by another patron.

"It's settled then. The four of us are going to go find a good movie. We can come back here afterwards and catch up with Pacey and Dawson when they're not so busy," Jack said. "Hey Dawson, can I have the check?"

"Coming right up," Dawson called back.

Jack paid the bill, we finished our drinks, and then the four of us headed outside. It felt as if the temperature had dropped since I had gone inside. The storm was definitely on its way in.
