Part 4

It's the weekend, each group is doing their movie assignment...

Leery residence- Dawson in his room, Jack arrives with a video in his hand...

Jack: I'm here. So, who's movie do we watch first?

Dawson: Well, what movie did you bring?

Jack: " The Matrix " What's your movie?

Dawson: " ET ". I've never seen " The Matrix " I'm not a big fan of all that special effects stuff.

Jack: Yeah, it's a really cool movie. I think everbody who has seen it likes it. Even Andie and she is very picky about what movies she likes to watch. Athough, I think she likes it because of Keanu. I think that's why I like it too. ( he smiles )

Dawson: So, I was surprised to see you in Film class. I didn't know you were a film fanatic.

Jack: Well, I'm not really. Andie kind of forced me to take the class with her. I don't mind though. I think it will be fun.

Dawson: Yeah. So, let's go watch the movies on the big TV. ( They leave )

Jen's house- Joey rows up to the dock and ties her boat up, she walk toward the house and looks over at the ladder on side of Dawson's house and smiles....

Joey: ( to herself ) It's so good to see that again.

She knocks on Jen's door, Jen answers it....

Jen: Hey, Joey. Come on in.

Joey: Hey. ( she walks in )

Jen: You got your movie?

Joey:Yep. You?

Jen: Rght here. It's " The Wedding Singer ". Have you seen it?

Joey: No, I haven't. Not a big Adam Sandler fan.

Jen: Neither was I, but this movie is so sweet and he isn't annoying in this one Basically, I just wanted to watch something happy. This day hasn't been so great.

Joey: What happened?

Jen: Henry and I broke up.

Joey: I'm sorry, Jen. Why?

Jen: He came by earlier today and said he was leaving Capeside. His dad got a new job and they're moving. We both agreed that we didn't want a long distance relationship, so we ended it.

Joey: Are you okay?

Jen: I'm gonna miss him, but I don't think what we had was love. He was the first person who made me feel special and I really liked it. But I think his feelings for me were deeper than mine were for him. That's not a healthy relationship. So, ready to watch the movies?

Joey: Yeah, but we don't have to watch mine. I'm pretty sure you've seen it. It's " ET ". ( she smiles )

Jen: Why did you pick that?

Joey: I don't know It's special to me for many reasons.

Jen: One of those reasons being Dawson, I bet.

Joey: Of course. ( she smiles )

Jen: Let's watch the movie.

She puts " The Wedding Singer " in and they start watching it....

McPhee residence- Pacey and Andie in her livingroom....

Andie: How come every time we draw names out of a hat, I always pick yours?

Pacey: I don't know. Maybe it's fate. ( he smiles )

Andie: Or God punishing me for cheating on the PSATs.

Pacey: Why do you say that? Do you hate me that much?

Andie: Pacey, I don't hate you. It's just a little awkward for you to be here and for us to be working together.

Pacey: You mean because of everything that has happened in the past year?

Andie: Well, yeah. It's not weird for you?

Pacey: Actually, no. I feel right at home here. Like I'm supposed to be here. And I haven't forgotten everything that has been said and done. Pursuing things with Joey was a mistake. I know that and so does she.

Andie: Pacey, we don't have to talk about this. Let's just watch the movies and do the assignment.

Pacey Okay. What movie did you choose?

Andie: " Dumbo "

Pacey: Same old Andie McPhee. ( he smiles )

Andie: What movie did you pick?

Pacey: Only a classic. " Scream "

Andie: Same old Pacey Wittter. Let's watch mine first. ( she smiles )

Later in the day...

Jen's house- the movie has finished....

Jen: So, what did you think of " The Wedding Singer "?

Joey: You're right. I really liked it. Very sweet. Although, now I'm depressed because I don't think he is ever going to see me the way Adam Sandler's character saw Drew Barrymore's character again. I have really screwed up things between us. Do you have any ice cream? ( she smiles )

Jen: Let's go check the fridge. ( she smiles )

They go into the kitchen, Grams is cooking something on the stove....

Jen: Mmm.. smells good, Grams.

Grams: Thank you, Jennifer.

Jen: Joey and I will be on the porch eating some ice cream.

Grams: Okay. Don't spoil your appetite.

Jen: We won't. ( they go outside )

McPhee residence- " Dumbo " is still on and it's at the part where Dumbo goes to see his mother, the song playing gets to Andie, Pacey looks over and sees...

" Baby Mine "

Baby mine, don't you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine

Pacey: Andie, are you okay?

Andie: ( tears in her eyes ) Yeah. This part always gets to me. And this song only adds to the saddness of the scene.

Pacey: Look at me.

Andie: Pacey, I'm fine.

Pacey: No. There's more to it than just this scene. Andie, what's going on?

Andie: ( she looks at him ) Can't hide anything from you, can I? ( pauses ) Pacey, it's my mother. She's not getting any better and I'm scared she's never going to. ( starting to cry more ) I don't want to lose my mother, Pacey. I don't want to see her put in a mental hospital.

Pacey: Come here, Andie.

He pulls her into a tight hug and continues crying in his arms, song still playing....

Leery residence- Jack has left, Dawson's parents have returned from running errands...

Gale: Hi honey. Did you and Jack finish your assignment?

Dawson:Yeah. So, what took you so long? The store was busy?

Gale: We just didn't go to the store, Dawson. I had a doctor's appointment too.

Dawson: Doctor's appointment? Is everything okay?

Gale: Yeah. Everything is fine. Clean bill of health. Although, I'll probably be experiencing some morning sickness soon because I'm going to have baby. ( she smiles )

Dawson: What!?!

Mitch: We were surprised too, but we're very excited about it.

Gale: Honey, how do you feel about this?

Dawson I'm speechless. I really wasn't expecting this at all. You know, I have some homework I have to finish up. Can we talk about this later?

Gale: Sure, honey.

He goes up to his room and lays down on his bed, thinking to himself...

a brother or sister? I guess when your parents life is one big honeymoon, a baby is bound to happen. Although, I really wish it hadn't.

Got feedback? Part 5 coming soon! :-)

Take care, Frances
