Outside Jax's Mountain Cabin:
Jax(flopping around in the water)V, help me!
V:Hang on, Jax, I'm coming. (she stops before she hits the ice)
Jax:V, what are you waiting for?
V:If I come out on the ice we could both fall through. I'll have to go 
and get something to pull you out.
Jax:Hurry up, my arms and legs are starting to go numb.
V:I'll be right back(she runs back to the cabin and finds a coil of 
rope, then takes the spare tire out of the trunk of Jax's car. After 
tying one end of the rope around the tire, she rushes back to Jax)Jax, 
I've attached the end of the rope to your spare tire. I'm going to throw 
the tire to you. When I do, grab it and I'll pull you out.(she goes out 
on the ice as far as she dares and tosses the tire. After three 
attempts, Jax manages to grab hold of the tire and V pulls him out of 
the hole in the ice. Then she rushes towards him)Jax, are you all right? 
Can you stand?
Jax:I think so.(but when he stands, his knees buckle)
V:Just hang on to me and I'll support you.(she drapes his arms across 
her shoulder and keeps him upright)We just have a little ways to go 
until we get back to the cabin, then we'll get you out of these clothes 
and warmed up.

Bridal Suite, Plaza Hotel:
Bellhop:Well, here we are, Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos.
Sonny(enters and tips the bellboy)Thanks. (he flops down in a chair 
after the bellboy exits and notices Carla standing in the doorway)Aren't 
you going to come in and close the door?
Carla:I'm waiting to be carried over the threshhold.
Sonny:Well, if you're waiting for me to do it, you're going to be 
standing there, all night.
Carla:I demand you carry me over the threshhold.
Sonny:Look, Princess, your old man is pushing up daisies, so you can't 
hold that over my head to make me do what you say. Either come in or I'm 
going to close the door in your face.
Carla(stomps into the room and slams the door behind her)If my father 
were still alive you wouldn't dare talk to me like that.
Sonny:But, he's not, so get over it. I'm going to order something from 
room service. What do you want?
Carla:Whatever's the most expensive. I'm going to go in and take a 
shower. You want to join me?
Sonny:Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather shower with a piranha.
Carla:Suit yourself.(she slams the bathroom door behind her)
Sonny(dials an outside number)Hey, Cerullo, how are you doing?
Lois:Sonny? Where are you calling me from?
Sonny:The bridal suite.
Lois:Where's Carla?
Sonny:(he makes a face at the bathroom door)Taking a shower. I don't 
know when I'll be able to make it over to your place. I should probably 
wait until Carla's asleep before I slip out.
Lois:This is some way to spend our first night together as husband and 
wife, Bensonhurst.
Sonny:It's probably going to get worse before it gets better.
Lois:Well, Mother Quartermaine sure knew what she was doing, didn't she? 
She wanted me highly motivated, and I'm highly motivated. I'm chomping 
at the bit to get to Port Charles and start working on the Q's on her 
behalf so I can get that barricuda in Italian pumps out of our lives.
Sonny:I'll be there as soon as I can. Just remember I love you.
Lois:You remember the same thing. Bye.

Jax's Mountian Cabin:
V(wraps another blanket around a shivering Jax)That's the last blanket I 
could find. As soon as the rabbit I shot is done cooking, there'll be 
plenty of hot broth for you to drink. That should help warm you up, real 
quick.
Jax:I'm surprised you're not crowing about this.
V:Jax, I may be mad at you for pulling this stunt on me, but I would 
never wish for you to fall through the ice no matter how mad I ever got 
with you. If I hadn't been able to pull you out, you would have died.
Jax:Were you scared?
V:Yes, I was scared. I don't want to lose you.

Bridal Suite, Plaza Hotel:
Carla(comes out of the bathroom wearing a very revealing black lace 
teddy)Miss me, Mikey?
Sonny:Carla, what do you think you're doing? Why are you dressed like 
that?
Carla(goes over to him and beings unbuttoning his shirt)Why do you 
think? We're married and this is our wedding night.
Sonny(pushes her away from him)Look, the deal Cerullo struck with Mother 
Quartermaine was there'd be no sex between us. That wasn't a part of the 
bargain. All I had to do was marry you and when the Quartermaines 
welcome back the prodical daughter with open arms, I get to divorce you 
and never lay eyes on you, again.
Carla(wraps herself around him)That doesn't mean we shouldn't take 
advantage of our situation. It was good between us once and it can be 
again.(she pulls his shirt out of his pants)I know how hot-blooded you 
are, Mikey. I'm sure it takes more than one woman to really satisfy 
you.(she trails kisses down his chest)Lois-Marie will never have to 
know. It'll be our little secret.
Sonny:I'm in love with Lois and I'm not going to cheat on her.(but he 
doesn't push her away, this time)
Carla(smiles, knowing she's starting to get to him)I'm your wife, Mikey. 
If you cheat on anyone, it'll be me. Just consider it doing your 
husbandly duty.
Sonny(closes his eyes and arches his neck back as Carla trails kisses up 
his throat)I was just fulfilling my end of the bargain Cerullo and 
Mother Quartermaine struck. I don't even consider myself married to you 
and the vows I took with you meant nothing. Since you were jabbering all 
through them, I didn't even hear what I said I do to.
Carla(nuzzles his neck, presses herself against him and purrs)You know 
what's always fascinated me about you, Mikey? It's the constant war 
raging inside of you. The part of you saying you love Lois-Marie and 
won't cheat on you is the choir boy, but the part of you that's enjoying 
what I'm doing to you is the Brooklyn bad boy. I have no use for the 
choir boy. Tell him to go away. Assure him that what I have in mind will 
in no way touch the purity of his love for sweet little Lois-Marie. What 
I have in mind is a night of pure, unbridled animal lust that the 
Brookyn bad boy will eat up with a spoon. Just picture it, Mikey. You 
and me, our hair damp with sweat, our bodies wrapped around each other, 
the sheets ripped off the mattress, you get the picture?
Sonny(smiles)Well, I've never been one to turn down something when it's 
waved in my face.(he looks down at her)And, sweetheart, you sure are 
waving it.
Carla:That's my Brooklyn bad boy.(they share a purely sexual kiss)Do you 
know after all these years I still remember what it was like to be with 
you?
Sonny:(runs his hands slowly down her body)Do you?
Carla:Yes, you were the best I've ever had.(she runs her fingers through 
his hair)I remember how your hair felt. It was silky and black as sin, 
just as it's now. I remember how it wrapped itself around my fingers, 
just like it's doing now, as I ran my fingers through it. I remember how 
your skin felt pressed against mine. It was hot to the touch, like their 
was a blazing infernal burning inside you.
Sonny(whispers in her ear, then nibbles on it)Do you know what I 
remember best, Carla?
Carla:No, what?
Sonny:(continues caressing her, speaking in a soft, sexy voice, that 
gradually begins to grow hard)I remember the next day at school. Of 
hearing you by the lockers with your girlfriends telling them how you'd 
won the bet you'd made with them that you could get me in bed the night 
of the prom. I heard every single word you said. I heard you describe 
every single thing we did in graphic detail. I heard how you bragged 
about the fact that you were the first girl I'd ever been with.(he 
suddenly shoves her away from him)Do you think after that I'd ever let 
you touch me, again?
Carla(sputters)You...you bastard...you were...
Sonny(starts buttoning up his shirt)That's right, I was playing you. How 
does it feel. (he grabs his coat off the chair and heads for the door)
Carla:Where do you think you're going?
Sonny:Out.
Carla:You're going to little Lois-Marie, aren't you?
Sonny:If you need someone to scratch your itch, I'm sure you can find 
someone in the bar, downstair. Feel free to make full use of the room, 
because I won't be back to disturb you, tonight. I'll pick you up in the 
morning and take you to Port Charles.(with that he slams the door behind 
him as he leaves)
