Cut to the attic.

Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Andie, Audrey, and Chris are watching television. A ‘friends’ episode has just finished.

Pacey chuckles.

PACEY: Aw man…that was good. Hard to believe there’s only a few episodes left, huh?

Dawson stops the tape.

DAWSON: Everything has to end eventually, right?

JOEY: Unfortunately.

ANDIE: Well, with reality shows slowly taking over, there will soon be no sitcoms.

Dawson shrugs.

DAWSON: All the more reason for people to watch more movies.

Audrey rolls her eyes.

AUDREY: What’s with all the negativity about reality shows?

JOEY: They’re repetitive.

ANDIE: They’re depressing.

DAWSON: They’re tedious.

Audrey shakes her head.

AUDREY: You people are no fun!

She crosses her arms and pouts.

Pacey gets up and faces the group.

PACEY: Now, you people all know what tomorrow is, right?

CHRIS: Saturday?

Joey sighs in relief, leaning her head backwards.

JOEY: Two days of freedom.

Pacey laughs.

PACEY: Slight correction, guys. Tomorrow is February 14th…know what that means?

Andie smiles at him warmly.

ANDIE: Valentines Day?

Dawson groans.

DAWSON: Wonderful.

Joey gives him a confused look.

JOEY: You’re kidding me? The ultimate romantic hates Valentines Day?

DAWSON: I don’t hate it, per say. It just has some painful memories associated with it. Memories of Jell-O shots and spending the night in jail.

Pacey chuckles.

PACEY: Well, I don’t know about you two, but I intend to make the most of it. Andie and I…we’re gonna have some fun.

JOEY: We have fun.

Chris scoffs.

CHRIS: If by ‘fun’ you mean the whole Friends-ish melodrama you two get into every Wednesday.

Dawson gives him the ‘evil eye’.

DAWSON: You’re over-exaggerating.

Pacey laughs.

PACEY: Oh, is he?

Pacey messes up his hair. Andie gets up as well, walking up to him.

PACEY: Hey, you wanna come over and watch movies?

Andie half-smiles then starts to stroke the side of his face seductively.

ANDIE: Oh, of course. You know how much I LOVE watching movies with you?

Joey rolls her eyes

Pacey looks the other way, pretending to ignore the way Andie is cuddling up to him.

PACEY: Oh, woe is me…I sure with I had a girl to make out with.

Andie looks at him angrily. Suddenly, Chris gets up and walks by the two of them. Immediately, Andie walks over to Chris.

ANDIE: Hey.

Chris’ mouth hangs open.

CHRIS: You’re cute.

ANDIE: Thanks.

Pacey looks at Chris angrily, then walks over and turns him around.

PACEY: Hey?

Pacey swings his fist forward, as Chris pretends to be knocked out.

Andie shoves him.

ANDIE: What’d you do that for?

PACEY: I didn’t like the way he was looking at you. Yes, even though I’m not attracted to you in the slightest, I become insanely jealous whenever anybody else is.

Dawson crosses his arms, and gives the two of them a sour look.

ANDIE: I like you, you oblivious idiot!

Pacey gives her a shocked expression.

PACEY: B-but…we’re just friends! This is all so shocking. Wait…I need to analyze this to death now. Sure, she’s a knockout, but I couldn’t possibly be good enough for her. This is just so frustrating. Blah blah blah. Yack yack yack. Blah blah blah!

After a moment, Pacey runs towards her.

PACEY: I changed my mind…I want you!

Andie acts as if she’s not interested.

ANDIE: Oh, I changed my mind, too. Not interested.

She heads back towards Chris, whom Audrey is helping to his feet. They walk over to the side, arm-in-arm.

Andie turns back to Pacey, leaping into his arms.

ANDIE: Take me now!

They start kissing passionately. Immediately, Dawson and Joey start to complain.

THEME SONG BEGINS

JOEY: Oh, for the love of…

DAWSON: You’re completely…

JOEY: That’s not…

Pacey and Andie start to laugh.

PACEY: (mockingly) We were on a break…

ANDIE: (mockingly) No we weren’t…

Andie ruffles his hair.

DAWSON: Ok, you did NOT just compare me to Ross Geller?

Pacey grins, then looks at Dawson/the camera.

PACEY: Come on, Dawson…as if anyone would ever want to watch a show about us?
