Summer's Ending III
*means that it is the characters thoughts
OH, and I usually don't write any of that stuff about these characters not belonging to me
and that kind of stuff, so I guess I should. I'm not trying to make any money or steal
anything.
D: (excitedly) Come on in Jo. This weekend is going to be so much fun!!
I'm so glad that you are home.
Everyone starts talking at once, asking Joey how her trip was, and whether she was
excited to be home.
Jen: And this is Lily. Lily this is Joey.
J:(smiling slightly) Hi. C'est un plaisir de faire...(breaks off laughing) I mean, it's nice to
meet you. I had that problem the whole way home talking to Bessie and Bodie. After
speaking in french for so long, it is hard to remember to speak in english.
L: Hi. Nice to meet you too.
J: I want to know how you are all doing? Dawson, bought any new movies lately? Pacey,
slept with any teachers lately?
P:(smiles) I see the summer didn't change our Joey that much.
D: *OUR joey, since when did she become our Joey, she was always MY joey*
Well, let's go inside.
They go in and Joey starts to head upstairs, but Dawson stops her and steers her towards
the living room
D: We thought we'd hang out in here this weekend, because there is more room.
J: Look at all of the decorations. You guys did this for me. You are so great. Oh, it feels
so great to be back here(she smiles at Dawson and then at Pacey). So what's the plan this
weekend?
P: Whatever you want.
D: (smiling) We could always watch ET
J: Uggghhhh, that was one thing that I didnt' miss.
D:(playfully looking hurt) I thought you loved ET.
They all laugh.
D: Well, Pacey and I thought that we could spend tomorrow on the beach - you know,
playing frisbee, swimming, we could pack a picnic lunch. But we weren't sure what you
would want to do tonight.
J: That sounds like fun. Actually, tonight I would kind of just like to hang out and watch
a movie if that's okay with you all. I'm exhausted and need to relax if I'm going to be able
to talk a day on the beach tomorrow. I've got jet lag.
D: How about Titanic. I just bought it.
J: Titanic? That movie is so long. And you know that everyone is going to be dead at the
end.
D: You didn't like Titanic? It was classic.
J: (smiling) Well, it does have Leo Dicapprio, so I guess I could live with watching
it.
Jen: I agree - bring on Leo. *oh, we seem to be getting along, this weekend might not be
so bad*
D: What do you think Lily - do you want to watch Titanic?
L:Sure, whatever you guys want*If Joey wants to watch it, then so do I - I really hope she
likes me*
J:*Great - if she's just going to agree with whatever Dawson says, I dont' think I'm going
to like to much.*
D: Pace - can you go upstairs and get the movie from my room. And I'll go get the snacks
and soda from the kitchen. You want to come help me Lily?
J:(stands up, not smiling)*I thought he would ask me to go* I can help Dawson.
P:(heads up the stairs - unhappily)*great, she's still head over heels in love with
him*
D:Jo - you just got home from France and you're jet lagged. Sit down. Lily can help
me.
Jen and Joey are alone in the living room.
They look at each other and smile.
J:So how was your summer?
Jen: It was fun, although I'm sure it couldnt' compare with your summer. How was
france? And the french guys?
J:(smiling) IT was so fabulous. And the guys were hot.
Jen and Joey both laugh as the others return.
D: hey, what's so funny? What did we miss.
J: Nothing Dawson, just some girl talk.(smiling at Jen)
P: Girl talk, huh? (He looks from jen to joey - surprised that they actually seem to be
getting along) Were you by any chance talking about a certain tall, dark and handsome
guy that we all know and love(he smiles and poses for the girls)
They all laugh at him.
D: Okay, lets get this movie going.
He puts it in and passes around the soda and stuff.
Dawson and Pacey had spread out blankets and stuff on the floor and put out five pillows
in a row. There was quite a bit of scrambling while they tried to figure out who was going
to lay next to who.
Pacey is looking at Joey, although he is sure that she will end up next to Dawson.
Dawson is trying to figure out whether he should lay next to Joey or Lily. It is Joey's first
night home, but Lily is kind of new to their group, and he didn't want her to feel left out.
Joey was glaring at Lily, hoping that she didn't plan to take her place next to Dawson.
Finally Joey sat in the middle, with Dawson and Pacey on either side of her. Lily saton the
other side of Dawson and Jen sat on the other side of Pacey. They all layed back and the
movie started. Joey was the first to fall asleep, and the others all quickly followed.
They spent the next whole day out on the beach. Everyone had fun and tried to get along.
There was some tension between different people in the group, but everyone tried to
ignore it. At about 6pm they all headed back to Dawson's house to decide what they
wanted to do that evening.
D: Well, we could always watch another movie
J: Isn't there ever anything exciting to do in this town. I forgot how boring this town
really was.
D:(hurt, mutters) I didn't know you found me so boring.
J:(doesn't hear him, but sees that he is hurt, adds) not that I don't like to hang out and
watch movies. But we did that last night. In France we went out to discotheques, I mean
dance clubs, an danced and stuff.
Jen: Well, Cliff is having a party. Sort of a last big party before school starts.
J: That sounds fun.
L: (trying to get on her good side) yeah, that does sound fun.
D:(increduously) you want to go to party at Cliffs???
J: (smiles at Dawson) Come on Dawson, it might be fun. Lets just give it a try. If we don't
have fun, we can come right back here and hang out. Besides, it is my first weekend back,
don't I get to decide what we do?
D:(smiling back) Of course. If you want to go to this party with all of these mentally
challenged jocks, who am I to say no.
J: I knew you'd understand.
They all laugh.
Jen: The party doesn't start until 8.
J: Well, that'll give us time to get ready. Come on Jen and Lily, I brought back some cool
dresses from france. I'm sure we can find something to fit both of you.
She grabs both their arms and drags them out of the house, calling out to the guys: We'll
meet you right here at 8. By the time we get to Cliff's we'll be fashionable late.
Pacey and Dawson stare at her as she drags the girls off.
P: I didn't know that she even knew the meaning of fashionably late.
D: And since when does she own dresses and want to go to parties?
P: And she's getting along fabulously well with a certain blond ex of your's Dawson.
D: She really does seem to have changed this summer.
They grin at each other nervously.
P: oh well, I guess we have 2 hours to get ready. Lets go
