You and me | Pacey Witter

thirty-eight

PACEY WALKED side by side with the Benson boy down the hallway. "Yeah, I screwed up, big time, man," he confessed, "but don't worry, I have it all under control. I called this Fredrick Fricke guy to come check out the B&B, he writes for all these papers, or whatever, but only problem is, we don't have any guest for the weekend, so," his voice trailed off, "you in?"

Lucas chuckled at his words, "oh, yeah, you definitely screwed up big time. Joey is going to kill you once she finds out you called someone professional to come into the B&B, but yeah, I'm in," he agreed.

Pacey grinned, "really?"

"Yeah," Lucas exclaimed. "There is no way that I am going to miss the opportunity to see Joey beat you up," he informed. Pacey laughed sarcastically at his comment. "I'll get my uncle in on it too. Do you want me to ask Aurora and Haley, or?"

Pacey shrugged, "yeah, why not!"

Lucas furrowed his eyebrows in his sudden voice change. His voice was higher pitch on the last part of his sentence. He ignored it and shook his head. "Well, I'll talk to them, and Pace, I wish you the best of luck."

Pacey threw his hands up in the air as Lucas began to take off down the hallway, shaking his head with a smile on his face. "I don't need luck," he called out, his hands cupped around his mouth. "Trust me, Joey is going to thank me."

THE "GUEST" for the B&B stood outside on the porch as they waited for Pacey to break the news to Joey. Mrs. Ryan, Jen, and the Mcphee siblings walked through the door together. "We have the sweet, God-fearing grandmother here to help her grandkids try to reconnect to the magical Creekside village where she frolicked as a little girl."

"And just to make sure that our home is filled with happy, boisterous people, we have a loving, married couple here to spend a romantic weekend getaway," Pacey informed as he brought in Gail and Mitch Leery.

Pacey smiled as he walked back to the door and dragged in the next two. "Here we have the loving, joyous uncle and nephew duo," he introduced and pointed over toward Joshua and Lucas who stood awkwardly in the house next to the other "guest"

"Lastly," Pacey exclaimed as he frolicked back to the door, he grabbed a hold of the two girl's wrist, gently, "here we have a cute, happy couple who just needed a place to get away without any judgement." Aurora and Haley looked at each other, both had a small smile rested on their face.

The group of them awkwardly watched as Joey dragged Pacey out of the house by his wrist, and Dawson followed behind them. So, they decided to go upstairs and figure out which room was going to be there's for the weekend.

Haley opened up one of the bedroom doors and smiled at the decoration of the room. She looked back at her girlfriend with a smile. "I think it's fantastic," she commented before she set her bag on the bed. 

Aurora smiled at her before she looked away from the eye contact with a frown. She set her bag down and began to put up the few pairs of clothes she brought, Haley doing the same thing, she knew something was off with the Benson girl, and she had a feeling she knew what it was.
