This is a multimedia page dedicated to moments that have effected Joey and Dawson as a couple.

**This page is VERY incomplete and is still under construction**

Please Note: The video clips do not seem to be working. I'm leaving them here for now, while I try to fix the problem.

Begining right from the pilot episode, Joey and Dawson's relationship is constantly changing.

Joey announces that she can no longer sleep over at Dawson's house anymore.

(Click on text that is red to hear an audio clip!)

Joey: I just don't think it's a good idea for me to sleep over anymore, you know?

Dawson sits up and puts the remote control on his desk.

Dawson: No, I don't know. C'mon, You've been sleeping over since you were seven. It's Saturday night.

Joey: Things change Dawson. Evolve.

Dawson: What are you talking about?

Joey puts on her jean jacket.

Joey: Sleeping in the same bed was fine when we were kids, but we're fifteen now.

Joey: We start high school Monday?

Joey taps her chest.

Joey: And I have breasts!

Dawson: (surprised) What?!

She points to Dawson.

Joey: And you have genitalia!

Dawson: I've always had genitalia.

Joey: But there's more of it.

Dawson is embarrassed but tries to play it off.

Dawson: How do you know?

Joey: Long fingers...I gotta go.

She moves toward the open window to leave. Dawson reaches out to her.

Dawson: Whoa Jo, don't hit and run. (Joey turns around) C'mon, explain yourself.

Joey: I just think our emerging hormones are destined to alter our relationship and I'm trying to limit the fallout.

Dawson gets up off the bed with his arms crossed, smiling.

Dawson: Your emerging hormones aren't developing a thang for me, are they?

Touches her forehead sarcastically like she has to think about it.

Joey: No, I'm not getting a thang for you Dawson. I've known you too long. I've seen you burp, barf, pick your nose, scratch your butt. I don't think I'm getting a thang for you.

Dawson: So what's the problem?

Joey: We're changing and we have to adjust or else the male/female thing will get in the way.

Dawson sits back down on the bed.

Dawson: What's with this When Harry met 80's crap. It doesn't apply to us, we transcend it.

Joey: And how do we do that?

Dawson: (lying back) By going to sleep. I'm tired.

Joey: That's avoidance.

Dawson: No, it's proof. Proof that we can still remain friends, despite any mounting sexual theoretics.

Joey: (pauses for a minute) I don't think it works that way Dawson.

Dawson: Come on, don't get female on me Joey. I don't want to have to start calling you Josephine.

Joey: (smiling) Josephine this!

She leaps onto the bed and attacks him with punches. They tickle and punch each other until Dawson has the upper hand.

Joey: (noticing Dawson's body slightly on top of hers) Okay, I give...I give.

Dawson: We're friends okay? (Joey nods, smiling) No matter how much body hair we acquire? Deal?

Dawson: (leaning back) All right...and we don't ever talk about this again, deal?

Joey: You got it.

Dawson: Okay, cool.

Dawson and Joey each climb under the covers.

Dawson: Goodnight Joey.

Joey: (snuggling into pillow) Goodnight Dawson.

Joey shifts farther away from Dawson. Dawson looks over, noticing. He moves a little to his side of the bed and glances over again, as she scoots closer to the edge. Dawson pauses, staring up at the ceiling.

Dawson: Why'd you have to bring this up anyway?

And when Jen arrives in town and Dawson invites her to join them at the movies, Joey feels threatened and realizes just how much she really loves him.

After the movie, Dawson goes home and finds Joey in his closet. They try make sense about what's going on between them.

Dawson: What is going on between us?

Joey: I have no idea.

Dawson: I know I have this incredibly perfect life and I completely under- appreciate it.

Joey: (looking up) Yeah, you do.

Dawson: I'm sorry I was such an insensitive male. I thought I was above it. (pause) I don't wanna lose you Joey. What we have is the *only* thing that makes sense to me.

Dawson: When I saw you in the movie theater with that lipstick on, I remember thinking how pretty you looked. (Joey looks at him) I mean, I ignored it. But I thought it.

Joey: (smiling disbelievingly) Yeah?

Dawson: But that was it Jo. (her smile fades) It didn't go any further than that.

Joey: (sitting up) When I saw you going for Jen's hand...It's not like I wanted to be the one holding your hand. (Dawson nods) I just didn't want her holding it.

The angst continues in the second episode, "Dance". While Joey's love for Dawson is growing by the minute, Dawson is falling in love with someone else- Jen.

Joey and Dawson are in his room, discusing a scene in his first movie. Joey is disgusted because she doesn't want to kiss Pacey- which is part of the script, but soon the conversation turns to Jen; has Dawson kissed her yet?

Joey: (turning off TV with remote) I cannot and will not kiss that cretin.

Dawson: It's a movie, you're playing a character. It's not Pacey your kissing.

Joey: So he's a sea serpent from the deep, cite the difference?

Dawson: But your not aware of his evil alter ego, you're in love.

Joey: (sets remote on bed) Forget it.

Dawson: The movie doesn't work without a kiss Joey, it's a love story.

Joey: It's a horror movie Dawson!

Dawson: It's an homage with a heavy allegorical slant.

Joey (flops back on bed) But he's so... unkissworthy.

Dawson: (looks at her) Do it for me?

Joey: (leaning up on her elbows) I don't want to regurgitate on camera. Why don't you kiss him?

Dawson: Because *my* lips are reserved for someone else.

Joey: (sits up) Have you kissed little miss someone else yet?

Dawson: There's no need to rush fate.

Joey: Don't wait an eternity Dawson, I mean she's from New York where things tend to move faster.

Dawson: But, well then how enchanting to meet a strapping young man who doesn't have sex on the brain.

Joey: (leans back again) If it helps you sleep at night.

Dawson: Joey, you heard her yourself. Through her own admittance, she's a self-proclaimed virgin.

Joey: For another second!

Dawson: Jen happens to be a bright, intelligent young woman who clearly is in charge of her own body.

Joey: I'm not suggesting leather straps and Crisco, just a kiss!

Dawson: Oh Jen and I will definitely kiss, don't you worry. The question is will your lips ever find Pacey's?

Joey: I vote for an extensive re-write.

Dawson: (smiling) Well that's to bad, because *you* definitely have kissing lips.

Joey: (confused) What?

Dawson: (turning model of her head for her to see) Check that out. You give good lip. (pause) You know, Joey you could always just close your eyes and think of someone else.

Joey sighs and lays down again, discreetly sneaking a peek at Dawson out of the corner of her eye.

Dawson: (thinking) Explain to me the Crisco?

Later on, Dawson asks his father advice about kissing, while Joey, who is hidden in the upstairs hallway, watches on.

Dawson: But the kiss itself, What did you do?

Mr. Leery-: Well, here (holds up the head of Joey) Give it a try.

Mitch: Oh, come on. This is a big father/son moment here. You asked for it.

Joey smiles and tucks a piece of hair behind her ear.

Dawson: Alright.

Dawson takes the head from Mitch

Mr. Leery: Now moisten your lips and go for it.

Dawson: Dad, this is ridiculous.

Mr. Leery: It's your bottom lip. You got to keep it relaxed. (Mitch pulls on Dawson's bottom lip) You want to let it have a mind of its own. You want it to dance with hers. (pause) Close your eyes.

Dawson holds the head up, closes his eyes and kisses it. Joey is watching and when he goes to kiss the head, Joey closes her eyes as well. She opens them slowly after a moment.

Mr. Leery: That was good.

Mr. Leery: Yeah.

Dawson: Cool. Umm, forget this ever happened.

Mr. Leery: Alright, thanks.

Dawson gets up, grabbing the head and leaves the room

Who can forget that momentous night of the beauty pageant!

Joey puts aside her pride in order to try to win the Miss Windjammer Pageant and Dawson, who is at the pageant to do a film project on it, finally sees Joey in a different light.

After the pageant is over, Joey and Dawson talk outside. Dawson thinks he knows what Joey wants, but Joey is having second thoughts.

Dawson: I looked at you tonight, and I...and I...it was like you came completely out of your shell. There was like this total new found confidence that just seemed to burst from you. And I know what it must have taken for you to get up and do that tonight. God, look at you.

(Joey laughs nervously.)

Dawson: (cont.) It's like you transformed into this beautiful goddess.

Dawson: God, I mean, I'm sitting here with my best friend in the world, and my palms are sweating. I've known you forever, but I feel like I'm seeing you for the first time tonight. Joey? What's wrong?

(Joey smiles, but suddenly stops.)

Joey: I don't know, Dawson. There's something that's just not right about this.

Dawson: Joey I thought this was what you wanted. I mean...

Joey: Well, I was wrong. I mean, dressing up, playing the princess. You and I both know this isn't me.

Dawson: Of course it is.

Joey: I thought this was what I wanted. You to see me as beautiful. For you to look at me the way that you look at Jen. But the truth is, I don't want that at all Dawson. I want you to look at me and see the person you've always known and realize that what we have is so much more incredible than some passing physical attraction because you know what Dawson? This is just lipstick. *wipes it off* And this is just hair spray. *takes her hair down* Tomorrow I'm going to wake up, and I'm going to be Joey. Just Joey. The too-tall girl from the wrong side of the creek.

Dawson: Joey this is all new. We should talk about it. No matter what happens. We can't go back to the way things were.

Joey: Dawson, you've had a lifetime to process your feelings for me. And I can't spend the rest of my life hoping that you might throw a general glance in my direction between all the torture-teen romances when every Jen Lindley rolls around.

Dawson: Joey don't walk away from this.

Joey: I have to Dawson.

The season one finale marks a moment all of us had been waiting for all season long.

Joey and Dawson finally shared their first kiss!
