Pacey: Well, Dawson, how many more stories do we have left?
Dawson looked at the pile.
Dawson: It looks like we’re almost done.
The four friends high fived each other and cheered. Just then Mrs. Tringle entered the library. The groups cheers turned to frowns.
Mrs. Tringle: Good news. I was just on Minnie’s Fan Fiction Site and I found more stories for you to read.
She set a pile of stories down on the table that was twice as big as the first one.
Joey put her head I her hands and groaned. Pacey put his head down on the table.
Jen: We’d better start.
Dawson: Okay, I agree.

This story takes place near the ending of Modern Romance.
"Well am I going to have to fail another mid-term or can we do this again sometime?" Pacey asked as he and his towel clad pal Joey walked toward her porch.
Jen: I don’t think it would be that hard for you Pacey.
Joey turned so that she was facing Pacey. "Well we still have a reprt to write and I'm pretty sure we're going to be spending alot of time together."
"Actually, that's not what I was talking about, Joey."
"Then what did you mean?" she asked, confused.
"Let me put this way-" Pacey leaned quickly toward Joey and kissed her.
Joey pushed him away suprised.
Joey: I’d be more then surprised.
"Pacey-I-I-" she turned away.
Pacey sighed and looked down at his feet. "Joey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-it's just that-well-"
Joey turned around with a slight smile on her face. "Shut up, Pacey." she laughed.
Pacey looked up and did a double-take in surprise. "Did I miss something?"
Joey: Pacey may need it spelled out for him. He’s a little slow sometimes.
Pacey: Thanks for that lovely remark Jo.
Joey shook her head.
"I had a really nice time today, Joey. A nice time that exceeded my wildest expectations. I was confused and surprised. . . and attracked. You?"
Dawson: Attracked?
Jen: I think she means attracted.
"Well. . . confused and surprised. . . " Joey looked down and grinned. "And attracted."
Pacey smiled. "So. . . what do we do now?"
Pacey: I think I know……..
"Now. . . we get clothes on."
Pacey: Too bad.
"Oh. . . yeah. What are you doing afterward?"
"Besides baby-sitting Rosemary's baby?"
"Oh, so your busy?"
"Kind of. Bess and Bodie are going out tonight. But, you can come back and hange out with me if you want." she said, more asking a question then anything else.
"Yeah. I would like that." he turned toward the truck. "Well. . . I'm going to go get changed now."
"Alright."
Pacey began walking toward the truck, and Joey up the steps up the proch. When she heard the truck door open, Joey turned around.
"Pacey?"
He looked over to Joey. "Yeah, Jo?"
"Thank you."
Pacey: You’re welcome.
"For what?" he bagan walking toward Joey again.
"For the first time in months I haven't thought about. . . you know. . . "
Jen: How could he not know! What else does she think about?
"Dawson?"
Joey bit her lip and then nodded, almost ashamed. "Yeah. For the first time in months I heven't thought about. . . Dawson. . . all day. And it felt-feels good. Thank you."
"Well, what are you thinking about now?" Pacey asked, knowing the answer, but wanting to hear Joey say about him what he has felt about her all day.
"You. I'm htinking about how wonderfun today has been, besides you killing out snails, loosing the boat, making us get out clothes wet-"
"Can we not focus on the negative things?"
Joey: What were the positive things again?
Pacey: You know, me coming in and sweeping you off your feet and taking your mind off Dawson with my manly charm.
Joey: Don’t flatter yourself, Pacey.
Joey continued. "And I am thinking that I won't have much time to think about Dawson with you occupying my mind."
Pacey cupped Joey's face in his hands and they starred into eachothers eyes. Pacey's face slowly moved toward Joey's, and Joey closed her eyes, awaiting Pacey's warm touch. Their lips met, and Joey feel into Pacey's arms.

Dawson: Well, what did every one think?
Pacey: I liked it.
Joey: Of course you did. You got the girl.
Jen: I thought it was ok. Except for the spelling mistakes and the fact that I wasn’t in it.
Dawson: Maybe you’ll be in the next installment.
Jen: I hope so.
