Author's Note: I was just watching The Flinstones Christmas, in the middle of August, when I got an idea for a story. This fanfiction is based on a true story and I'd love feedback. Pacey and Andie are married, Dawson and Joey are dating, and Jack and Jen are living together (and are *really* close friends). This takes place during Christmastime.

"Oh, my god, Pacey! They are going to be here any minute and look at the house! Its a mess! We haven't seen any of them since graduation! They cannot see our house this!" Andie ran around, frantically trying to tidy up their house.

Pacey just sat on the sofa, watching her smiling. The truth was their house looked perfect. Everything was neat and in place.

"Andie?" Pacey asked.

Andie ignored Pacey, and continued to ramble on and on about the house.

"Andie?" Pacey tried again, hiring his voice by a decibel hoping to get his attention.

"Huh?" Andie looked up from the floor, where she was trying to collect anything small that had fallen to the floor, and trying to sweep up dust.

"Andie, they're here," Pacey told her. Andie looked up and through the window she could see the shadows of her friends from high school.

Andie quickly stood up and ran over to the door. Before she opened it, she asked Pacey, "Does everything look okay?" Pacey nodded and Andie opened the door.

"Hi guys! Come on in!" Andie held the door open, and Joey, Dawson, Jack and Jen all walked into the house.

"Your house is beautiful!" Jen exclaimed, "How do you keep it so neat?"

Andie smiled, in relief, glad Jen saw her house as neat, " Thank you."

"Come on in and site down. I'm making some coffee right now," Andie said, leading them over to the sofa. Joey and Dawson sat down next to Andie on the sofa. Jack and Jen sat on two chairs, and Pacey sat in an armchair.

"Whats everyone been up to lately?" Jen asked.

Before anyone could answer, a baby began to cry. Andie got up and ran into the next room.

"Do you two have a baby?" Dawson asked Pacey.

Pacey nodded, as Andie came back into the room, holding a small baby, who was barely a month old.

"This is Katelyn Elizabeth," Andie said.

"Awww.....shes so adorable!" Jen gushed.

"I can't believe you never told me you had a baby, Andie," Jack said.

"Well, there was so much going on, and I hadn't talked to you in such a long time, I guess I never thought of it," Andie explained.

"Shes so cute. Can I hold her?" Joey asked. Andie nodded and handed Katelyn to Joey.

"When was she born?" Joey asked.

"November 30th, at 9:26 am. She was 8 pounds, 6 ounces," Andie replied.

"So, as I was saying," Jen said," What has everyone been up to?"

"Well, I have a job as an interior decorator, and Dawson, as everyone probably suspected is a director. We share a house in Burbank, California," Joey said.

"I have a job as a children's photographer at a department store," Jack said.

"Jack and I live together in New York City," Jen added," And I'm a secretary at Jack's photography studio. What do you two do?"

"We're both pediatricians," Andie responded.

"Why did you decide to stay in Capeside, Pacey? I thought the day we graduated you would have been out of here?"

Pacey pointed to Andie," She wanted to stay here."

"Pacey, you know you wanted to stay in Capeside just as much as I did! You were the one who-" Andie was interrupted by beeping," The coffees done! I'll go get it!"

A few minutes later, Andie returned with a try of coffee, cups, sugar, milk, and a bottle for Katelyn.

Andie went to take Katelyn from Joey's arms, "All right, Katie, time for a bottle."

"Can I feed here?" Joey asked. Andie smiled and handed Joey the bottle.

"Its been so long since we've seen each other," Jen said.

"I know, we should really get together more often," Dawson agreed.

"Yeah, but we live so far apart," Joey pointed out.

"We could all move part to Capeside," Jack suggested.

"You guys all have such good jobs, though," Andie told them.

"We could find other jobs," Jen said.

"Not that easily though," Andie said.

"Jen, Andie's right, its hard to find new jobs. Its cost money to move, and then we all would be out jobs for so long...."Joey said.

"Yeah, I guess we can forget that," Jen said, upset.

"It was a good idea though," Andie said.

"Maybe we could get together once in a while," Dawson suggested.

"I think we should," Jen agreed.

"Oh, I know! Why don't we go and get a Christmas tree tonight and we can decorate together, won't that be nice?" Andie asked.

"Thats a great idea, Andie," Jack said.
Joey shivered as she continued to follow Andie around, who was bouncing, excitedly from tree to tree.

"This is so fun! Isn't it Joey!?" Andie asked," I have always loved Christmas."

"Yeah, its just wonderful," Joey said, her teeth chattering," Its also cold."

"So what Christmas tree shall we get?" Andie asked.

"Well, they all look the same to me," Joey replied.

"Joey, this is Christmas! We have to find the perfect Christmas tree!" Andie.

"Yeah whatever," Joey shivered and pulled her coat closer," Can we just get a tree and go, I'm freezing."

"How about this one?" Jack asked, pointing a tree, which was standing nearby.

Andie ran over to look at it," Its perfect! Lets get it!"

Jen followed Andie to the tree and examined it," I agree with you, it is a perfect tree."

"Lets get it and go!" Joey said, impatiently.

So, they bought the tree, and then, drove back to Pacey and Andie's house.
