Ballroom, Wyndemere: AJ(comes up to Sonny)I saw both you and Carly, here, tonight. Whose looking after Michael while the two of you are partying the night away? Sonny(turns to him)Quartermaine, I want you to get it through that booze-soaked brain of yours, I'm Michael's father, not you. Anything that has to do with my son has absolutely nothing to do with you. Brenda(comes up to them)Baby, did you hear the announcement my father made. Isn't it wonderful. Stefan:(and Bobbie dancing)Well, I'm glad your brother had the good taste to stay away, tonight. The last thing we needed was for him to show up and put a pox on the whole evening. Bobbie:It wouldn't have been too comfortable if the former object of your affections had shown up, either. Maybe we should send Luke and Laura a thank you card for having the good sense to stay away. Stefan:(eyes fall on Sonny)Do you have any idea what Corinthos wanted to tell you, earlier? Bobbie:I think it had something to do with Carly, but I don't have a clue what it could be about. That's all I can tell you. Stefan:Maybe he didn't even have anything to tell you. Maybe he just wanted to get you alone. There's no telling what he might have done if I hadn't come in when I did. Bobbie:Stefan, what are you suggesting? I'm Sonny's mother-in-law until he and Carly are legally divorced. Stefan:The man has a strange power over women, Barbara. There's something very sexual about him that turns women's minds to mush. Bobbie:That's funny, I've noticed you have that very same power over women. You even effected me that way a time or two. Stefan:Barbara, I' serious. Bobbie:So am I. You know, Stefan, I think I like it when you're jealous. Stefan:I am not jealous. Bobbie:That's good, because you have absolutely no reason to be. Besides, with my daughter and your daughter on his hands, I think Sonny has a little too much women on his hand to want to take on a third, don't you? Brenda:You do think it's wonderful Stefan publicly acknowledged me as his daughter, don't you? Sonny:As a mater-of-fact, I don't. Brenda, there's no real proof you're really even the man's daughter. All you have is the word of this Roberta Anderson, a woman you've never even laid eyes on. She could be anybody. She might not even be Roberta Anderson, at all. Until there's some kind of irrefutable proof, like a paternity test stating positively that you are Cassadine's daughter, I think it's a little too premature of Cassadine to be claiming you as his lost long child. Brenda:Sonny, why are you trying to ruin this for me. You know how much I've always wanted a real father and now I have one you're trying to take it away from me. Sonny:But he may not necessarily be your father. Brenda:I'm not going to stand here while you try to ruin the most wonderful night of my life. Sonny(calls after her)Brenda, come back! Robert(and Anna step in Brenda's path before she can storm out)Brenda, could we talk to you now? Brenda:I suppose so. Why do you want to talk to me about. Anna;Not here. Why don't we go down to the guest house where we can speak in public. That way we won't be interrupted, again. Helena(watches Robert and Anna slip through the french doors with Brenda in tow. Then she turns to a servant standing by her side)Go up to the attic and tell my granddaughter it's time for her to make her grand entrance. Luke and Laura's House: Laura:I'm surprised you wanted to stay home with me, tonight. Isn't Tammy expecting you. Luke:Tammy? You know about Tammy and me? Laura:It's not like you've kept it much of a secret from me. In fact, it's almost been like you wanted me to figure it out, so you wouldn't have to tell me yourself. Luke:You could say the same thing about you and Baldwin. Laura:Scotty and I are just friends. Luke:So are Tammy and I. Laura:Yes, but the difference is, you're sleeping with Tammy and Scotty and I haven't taken it that far, yet. So, Luke, why did you decide to stay home with me, tonight. Luke:There's something I've got to tell you, I just don't know how to do it. Laura:You've finally worked up enough nerve to ask me for a divorce, haven't you? Luke:That isn't what this is about. Laura:Then what is it about. Luke:Nikolas. Laura, he isn't your son. Laura:What are you talking about. I gave birth to him. Of course, he's my son. Luke:No, he isn't. Laura, your son died when you were giving birth to him. He strangled on his ambiblical chord as he was being born. Laura:(shakes her head in denial)No, that's not true. Why are you making up something so hideous, like this. Nikolas is my son. Luke:(grabs her by the arms and shakes her)No, he isn't. Helena covered up the death of your child by replacing him with another child she let you believe was really yours. Nikolas is that child. Laura(falls to the floor and screams)Noooooooooo! The Guest House: Brenda(as she, Robert and Anna enter)Well, we're here now. So what do you want to tell me. Robert:Brenda, your life is in danger. Anna:Your mother is planning to kill you at the party, tonight. Brenda:What! That's ridiculous. My mother left Port Charles a long time ago. If she hadn't, she would have tried something against me a long time ago. Anna:Your mother has been in town all this time, but she's had other things besides you on her mind. Stefan Cassadine to be precise. Robert:We don't know how she met him, but she's managed to convince him she's an old love of his named Roberta Anderson. Brenda:Roberta Anderson? But Stefan said Roberta Anderson told him I'm his daughter. Anna:We know. That's why she wants to kill you. She was supposed to come to the party and meet you. Once the two of you meet face-to-face you'll be able to reveal to Stefan Cassadine that's she's really Veronica Barrett and he'll realize she's no more Roberta Anderson than either you or I are. So before that can happen she has to get rid of you. Brenda;Stefan Cassadine isn't really my father, is he? Robert:No, he isn't. It's a long story, but Bobbie is really the real Roberta Anderson who gave birth to Stefan Cassadine's child years ago. Only for some strange reason neither Stefan or Bobbie have realized it, yet. Brenda:Then that means Carly is really Stefan's daughter. And Sonny knew it. He's known all along Carly was really Stefan's daughter and he never told me. Ballroom, Wyndemere: Bobbie(and Stefan dancing)So, Brenda's mother was a no-show? Stefan:Yes, I was very disappointed that she didn't show up. The evening would have been perfect if I could have reunited Brenda with her mother. And soon as I do that, Roberta and I need no longer have any contact with each other. And I really wanted the two of you to meet, too. Bobbie:Roberta? So that's the name of the mysterious woman from your past, is it? Stefan:Yes, Roberta Anderson. Bobbie:Roberta Anderson! You know, that's quite a coincidence. Did you say you met Roberta Anderson in Florida? Just where in Florida did you meet her, anyway? Stefan:Fort Lauderdale. On the beach to be precise. I was on spring break from college. Why? Bobbie:Oh, my god! Stefan:Barbara, what is it? Bobbie:No, it can't be...It's too impossible to be true. Sonny(as Carly enters the party dresses as Brenda and comes up to him)So, are you still mad at for what I said? Stefan:Barbara, what can't be true? Bobbie:You can't possibly be...(just at that moment all the lights suddenly go out) Will February Sweeps be a dud? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
