Disclaimer:Characters property of Kevin Williamson & the WB. No copyright infringement intended. I love DC and was very disappointed by the ending. This is my first fanfic .
Summary : This has mostly the main characters Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Andie, and of course Jack and Jen. Their heading back to Gales wedding .I hope you like it.
Joey’s Apartment
Scene: A set dressed up like Dawson’s Bedroom. Actors playing Colby and Sam are acting out a scene from Dawson’s New TV show “The Creek.”
Colby: Feelings and emotions have an inexplicable way of manifesting themselves in subconscious and not always se-aware behavior.
Sam: Verbal deconstruction of teen angst is really outdated, Colby. There's nothing going on between me and Petey. He's just a friend. Your best friend, I might add. I have no subconscious subliminal intentions towards him.
Colby: Just a friend, huh?
Sam: Yes. That's all. Period. End of sentence, dissertation, and postmodern diatribe. Now can we go to sleep?
Colby: So, is Petey a friend the same way you and I are just friends?
Sam: Yeah... of course.
Colby: That's what I was afraid of.
[They lie back down on the bed together, and lie together awkwardly. The camera pulls back from the TV and
we see that Joey was watching the show on the couch with a tear in her eye. The credits start to roll and she
shuts the TV off .She sets the remote and puts her glass on the coffee table . She looks at her watch ]
Joey: 5, 4, 3, 2 , 1 …. [The phone rings and Joey picks it up] Hello, Dawson
Dawson: Hi Joey, so I was hoping you wouldn’t kill me about the jaws closet scene
Joey: I should be upset but, I think I let you slide by this time.
Dawson: Thanks, but you know your honesty is always welcome.
Joey:Well, if were being honest, it was little on the fluff side not to mention they do sound like bunch of English professors. Dawson, what teenagers do you know talk like that.
Dawson:Okay, I change my mind. I don’t want you to be honest
Joey:Dawson , I’m your oldest and closet friend and as that friend I have to tell you the truth even it hurts.
Dawson: The truth is overrated but sometimes I just need a friend to stroke my ego.
Joey: How this for your ego. Every Wednesday night millions of fans watch the show. The next day they stand around the proverbial water cooler discussing , in heated passion the happenings of the night before. But the foremost question on you fans mind is… <
Dawson: Is what
Joey: Who does Sammy pick Coby or Petey? [She pauses] Since I know someone from inside. I was hoping that you would tell me.
Dawson: If I told you I would have to kill you.
Joey: Dawson . [ In shock]
Dawson:No my lips are sealed. [ He starts to laugh]
Joey: Your joking right.
Dawson:No, Joey I’m not going to tell you.
Joey: Come on
Dawson:Sorry Joe
Joey:I can’t believe this

Billy:Sorry, Mr. Witter I guess my father is right about me, I’m nothing but a born screw up.
Pacey:Pacey: Your wrong about two things. First, call me Pacey my dad and brother are Mr. Witter. And second a wise person told me once that a hero is made and not born. It’s not what your dad thinks of you it’s what you think of you. So you can decide be the loser or

Dawson:We’re back at the good old B&B , doesn’t seem like it’s change that much
Joey:That’s what I missed most about Capeside , I like that doesn’t change.
Dawson:Did I just hear little Joey Potter say she missed Capeside. Are you getting sentimental in your old age.
Joey:No, Dawson It’s just that I spent most of life trying to get out Capeside. Only to realize that maybe Capeside is all I really wanted. That the boy down the creek is all I ever really wanted.
[Dawson moves closer to Joey]
Dawson:Joey, what are you trying to say
Joey:I guess what I’m trying to say is I know Capeside hasn’t changed but have you changed , have your feelings changed for me.

Joey:Dawson, I’m sorry. I’ve have a little to much to drink tonight, I think I need to go bed and gets some sleep.
Dawson:But, Joey[confused]
Joey:Goodnight Dawson
[She heads in to B&B and leaves him staring at the door with puzzlement]

Dawson:Is it okay if I sit with you , you look a little lonely
Andie: No just tried , I couldn’t sleep last night
Dawson:Is the baby keeping you awake.
Andie:That and the thought that maybe … oh never mind Dawson just insecurities of a pregnant women.
Dawson:Maybe, what?
Andie:Maybe that when Pacey looks at Joey he has second thoughts about us.
Dawson:Why would you say that?
Andie:It’s just our reunion was so fast. One minute , I’m hugging him hello and year later , I’m saying I do. Then three months later , surprise were having a baby. I don’t what Pacey to be with me because he didn’t get her. I just don’t wanted to be the consolation prize.
Dawson:Andie , you could never be the consolation prize. I remember when Pacey called to tell me about you being pregnant. I never heard a man who was as proud and in love with his wife then that day.
Andie:[She smiles] Thanks Dawson, I’m staring to feel better. Maybe I just needed to hear that.
[ The songs ends. Pacey takes Joey’s hand and starts to take her over to Dawson .She stops him]

Dawson:Well, do you think we could be a couple again? I mean after what you said last night and that kiss.
Joey:Dawson, I told I was little drunk last night
Dawson:If you were drunk or not you never let me answer the question.
Joey:What question was that , my mind is a little foggy on last nights a event.

Joey:You right I never seen him so happy before
Dawson:It just wasn’t that , it was a look of peace , of contentment. As if he knew the meaning of life and what it’s all about.
Joey: If any one who need to find peace it was Pacey
Dawson:What about you Joe , wouldn’t you like to find that peace. Because I want to find it. You ask me if what I feel for you has changed? And all I can say is no, when I was 15 I let you into my heart and you have never left. I tried everything to stop loving you .I thought by making the show I could expel these demons that haunt me about us. But , it only open my eyes to the fact that I could never resolve my feelings until I told you how I really felt. I was always afraid of how you would reacted but I’m tried of being afraid of what might happen. Joey Potter , I love you and in my life time I could never change how I feel about you. So, does the girl down the creek still love that boy.
[Joey smiles and leans over to Dawson and whisper in his ear]
