Isle of San Monique: Jerry:(smirking)So much for me not being able to land on the island by air, eh, Cassadine. Bobbie:Jerry, what are you doing here? How did you find us? Jerry:I figured out Cassadine was behind your trip to this island and tried to warn you, but I got to the airport too late. Now that I've explained that could someone get me down from here. Stefan:I want you off this island, at once. Jerry:No doing, Cassadine, I'm not leaving without Red. Face it, you're stuck with me until your plane comes to pick you up., Port Charles Airport: Voice(over loud speaker)Flight 454 for New York is now boarding at Gate 5. V:I guess that's us.(she starts to pick up her suitcase) Faison:(covers V's hand with his own)No, let me. V:(a bit uncomfortably)If you insist.(they start toward Gate 5) Jax(comes running into the terminal)V, wait! V(turns around to Jax)Jax, what are you doing here? What is it? Faison(tries to draw V through Gate 5 to the awaiting plane)Come alone, Miss Ardanowski, we have a flight to catch. If we don't leave now, we'll miss it. You can call your friend when our plane lands. Jax:V, don't leave. It's over between Brender and I. We're going to get a divorce. V(shakes off Faison's arm)What happened? Jax:I let Brender go so she could be with Sonny. V:But you know Mr. Corinthos is in love with Miss Cerullo. Jax:I know it was a rotten thing to do to Brender, but it was the only way I could think of to be with who I truly love. You, V.(he drops to his knees, takes out a ring box and openes it to display a diamond solitaire engagement ring)This ring originally belonged to me grandmother and she wanted me to give it to to the woman I married, but something always held me back from giving it to Brender. Something didn't feel right about her wearing it. But it feels right you wearing it. Venus Ardanowski, will you marry me? V:(throws her arms around Jax)Yes, of course, I will.(he slips the ring on her finger.) I love you, Jax.(she suddenly remembers Faison standing there. While she's still wrapped happily in Jax's arms, she looks over her shoulder at Faison)I'm sorry, Mr. Faison, but I won't bve going to New York with you, after all. Jax:No, she's staying right here with me. Faison(barely manages to conceal his rage at having been thwarted)Of course. Goodbye, Miss Ardanowski.(he pretends to walk through Gate 5 to board the plane, but he quickly doubles back and follows Jax and V as they leave the airport together) The Outback: Kat(takes the stage)Thank you all for coming here. Now it's time for the moment we've all been waiting for. The premiere of the commercial featuring the Face of Deception, Brenda Barrett and the Embodiment of Sin, Sonny Corinthos. Brian, if you'd please.(he presses the play button on the video tape player) Lois:What do you mean we've got trouble? Sonny:Brenda has left Jax and Brenda being Brenda naturally assumes we're going to be getting back together because of it. Lois:What!(neither notice a dark-haired couple appear on screen, their nude bodies barely concealed by the bed sheets as they're locked in a passionate embrace as they make love) Edward:(watching as the man on the screen runs his hand up the woman's thigh)Katherine, I really think this ad is bordering on the vulgar. Kat:Edward, this isn't the commercial I filmed. Brenda(doesn't pay any attention to the action on screen as she comes up to Sonny and Lois)Lo, did Sonny tell you? Lois:About you and Jax? Yeah. Brenda:No, about Sonny and me. I know you and Sonny were dating, but you must know it could never lead to anything serious between the two of you. Lois:Bren, you and I need to talk about Sonny and me. LilaL:Brenda and Mr. Corinthos are very good actors. They really look like they're making love. Edward:I'm appalled. This is out and our pornography. I thought you had better taste than this, Katherine. Kat:I had nothing to do with this, Edward. This is not the commercial I filmed.(on the screen the couple collapse panting in each others arms and their faces our finally revealed. A shocked gasp goes through the room) Sonny(noticing the sudden silence filling the room glances at the screen and is horrified by what he sees)Oh, my god!(on the three giant screens he and Lois are wrapped in each others arms holding each other while they recover from making love) Edward:Corinthos! What did you do to our Lois! Carla(smirks)I'd say that was pretty obvious, Mr. Quartermaine, wouldn't you. I mean, it really leaves nothing left to the imagination. Lois(looks at her image on screen and is mortified as her screen image trails a kiss down Sonny's sweaty chest and she cringes as her voice booms through the quiet room)You were incredible, Bensonhurst, but then again you always are. Sonny(screen image trails kisses down Lois' neck)And just think, we could have been doing this all through high school. Lois:I wanted to but you wouldn't give in. Sonny:Well, I'm more than willing to give in, now. Lois:Again? God, Sonny, you're an animal. Sonny:You bring out the beast in me, Mrs. Corinthos. Don't you know? That's why I married you. Brenda(shakes her head in denial as the Sonny and Lois on the screen are wrapped in another passionate embrace)No, this isn't true. It can't be. Sonny:Would someone please shut the damn thing off or do I have to do it, myself.(he heads to the tape machine to do just that) Carla(taunts)Why not let it play, Mikey. Let all of Port Charles see you and Lois-Marie in all your passionate, naked glory. Lois(turns on her as the truth hits her)You bitch! You did this, didn't you? Sonny(comes to the same conclusion)It was you! You're the one who planted the cameras in our apartment. Tell me, did you get off watching Lois and I make love. Did it give you a cheap thrill. God, what kind of depraved human being would do something like this. You miserable bitch! I could kill you for this. Brenda:Her! What about what you did to me! Because of you I gave up the most wonderful man in the world. Sonny:Don't you dare try to blame this on me. I never gave you any reason to think you and I had a future together or that I even wanted one with you. I told you the truth about Lois and me, but you refused to believe me. Refused to believe I could actually move on with my life. Refused to believe the world and my life in particular didn't revolve around you. Carla:(pipes up)Mikey's right. You did this to yourself. It's nobody's fault but your own. Brenda(turns on Carla)You told me you and Sonny broke-up because he was in love with another woman. Carla:I didn't lie. As you can see(she motions to Sonny and Lois on the screen)he is in love with another woman. That woman just isn't you. Is it my fault you assumed that it was. Brenda:You told me Sonny left me at the altar because he loved and wanted me. You set me up. You ruined my life. Carla:No, you ruined your life. You were married, Miss Barrett. What I or anyone else said to you shouldn't have mattered in the slightest or effected your marriage in the slightest. Brenda:I've got to get to Jax. I've got to ask for his forgiveness and beg him to take me back.(she runs out of the Outback) Kat(picks up where Brenda left off, while Sonny yanks the tape out of the machine and rips the tape out of the cassette)Do you have any idea what you've done to me? You've ruined me. This party was supposed to put Deception back on top. Deception is all I have left and because of you I'm going to lose it. Sonny(throws the ruined tape at Carla)Here's your property back. Take it and leave. Carla(smirks)It won't change the fact you and Lois-Marie got publicly humiliated in the worst possible way. That I gave you two exactly what you deserved. Sonny:What are you talking about? Carla:I know. I know that the judge you had marry us in New York was an actor. That you and I were never married. That you only pretended to be married to me, while you were really married to Lois-Maire, here. Did you honestly think you could get away with this. That I would never find out. That I wouldn't pay you back for what you did to me.(she turns to Lois with a malicious glint in her eye)Lois-Marie, from the real Mrs. Corinthos to the faux one, I'd like your opinion on something. What do you think of that cute little birthmark Mikey has on a certain intimate part of his anatomy. Lois:How would you know about that? Carla:How do you think. You don't really think that all that time Mikey was pretending to be married to me that we slept in seperate beds, do you? Sonny:Lois, she's lying. I swear I never touched her. Carla(gives him a knowing look)Never? Lois(see a guilty flush steal across his face and slap him)You bastard! You did sleep with her.(she runs out of the club) Sonny(snarls at Carla)You're going to pay for this.(he goes running after Lois)Lois, it's not the way she made it sound. It's not what you think. Jason(comes up to Carla and grabs her arm)Come on, Carla, were leaving.(once outside Jason grabs her by the throat)You're dead for this Carla. Nobody does that to Sonny and gets away with it. Carla(shoves him away from her unafraid)You wouldn't dare. You don't have the guts.(she walks into the night laughing) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
