Part 10
Saturday- Joey arrives for her first day of work at Leery's Fresh
Fish...
Gale: Hi, Joey. I'm really glad that you have decided to work with us.
It will be nice to have an experienced waitress on staff.
Joey: Thank you. Really, I'm looking forward to working here. How have
you been feeling?
Gale; Oh, I'm okay. Just can't wait for the morning sickness to stop. (
she smiles ) Well, here's your uniform. There's a changing room in the
back.
Joey:Okay. Thank you. ( she heads to the back of the restaurant )
Pacey goes to Andie's house, Jack answers the door...
Jack: Hi Pacey. If you're looking for Andie, she's not here.
Pacey: Where is she?
Jack: Providence. She's visiting with our mother. I'm going to meet up
with her there tomorrow.
Pacey: I told her I would go with her. She shouldn't be alone.
Jack: Pacey, I know you mean well, but did it ever occur to you that
maybe she wants to be alone. She's not the same Andie anymore She's a
much stronger person now.
Pacey: I know. She told me herself that she didn't need me to be her
hero.
Jack: So, why can't you just accept that?
Pacey: I have accepted it. It just hurts that's all. See ya later,
Jack. ( he leaves )
Later in the day- Leery's Fresh Fish, Dawson walks in, Joey is on her
break...
Dawson: So, how's it going so far?
Joey: It's going great. We had a good crowd during lunchtime. ( she
smiles )
Gale comes up to them...
Gale: ( to Dawson ) Hi, honey.
Dawson: Hi. You know, Mom, I'm here now. Why don't you go home and get
some rest? Dad and I can handle things here.
Gale: Are you sure? Because, a nap does sound good. ( she smiles )
Dawson: Go ahead. Don't worry about a thing here. ( he smiles )
Gale: Okay. Thanks, honey. ( she kisses him on the cheek ) I'll see you
later. ( she leaves )
Joey:( looks at her watch ) Break is over. Back to work. Remember,
you're helping me watch Alex tonight.
Dawson: I know. I'll see you then. ( he smiles )
H e heads to the register, Joey goes back to waitressing tables...
Nighttime- Dawson arrives at Joey's, she opens the door....
Joey: Ready for your first adventure in babysitting? ( she smiles )
Dawson: ( holds up a videotape ) Yep. ( he smiles )
Joey: You brought a movie? You really don't know much about kids do
you? Unless a teletubbie or Barney the annoying dinosaur is on there,
he won't sit five minutes.
Dawson: We'll see. ( he smiles )
Joey: Alex, this is Dawson. He's going to spend some time with us
tonight.
Dawson: Hi, Alex. Do you want to watch a video?
Alex nods yes, Dawson puts the videotape in, Alex watches the tv
screen...
Alex: Barney.
Joey: I told you I think he's too little to understand "ET".
Dawson: This is better than Barney. Just watch.
Alex: Barney.
Joey grabs the remote and fast forwards the movie and stops it at the
part where Elliot and ET fly on the bike, Alex is amazed....
Joey: God bless the fast forward button. ( she smiles )
Dawson: I told you he'd like it. ( he smiles )
Dawson and Alex continue watching the movie, Joey glances over and
smiles at them....
