Season 2
Episodes 7-15
Episode Seven **************************************************** Chapter I The beginning of this episode starts off with the only tear Edward shed since the ending of the episode freezing like it�s under a microscope. The tear keeps freezing. Soon we see it crack and break. Falling to pieces because someone stepped on it. It resembles the fragile life Edward is living. Edward is still standing there at the driveway. Everyone goes back inside except for Elizabeth and Jana. Elizabeth and Jana try to comfort Edward. It is though he lost his best friend, the one life he saved to break his heart afterwards. They give him hugs and he breaks down crying his eyes out as if he was supposed to be erased from her life. He asks each of them why God would do something like that. They both sake their heads, and Jana suggests that he come inside. Edward gives a little nod and a sniffle and heads to the door with them. He is the last to go inside. Before he goes inside he looks back at the road. It is empty. He goes back inside and the door closes. Chapter II Edward sits in a chair with a blank face. He stares off into space and can�t stop thinking about what happened. Why did Thomas take her away from him? Was there something more to them then what he was seeing? Did she not tell him something? So many questions race through his head. His friends try to help him enjoy the remaining time at the party. Edward refuses to enjoy himself now. He goes up to one of the rooms and takes off his tie. He throws it violently to the bed and takes off his jacket from his tux. He falls asleep soon after. Suddenly there is a knock at the door. It is everyone! Everyone (minus Thomas and Victoria) comes into his room and tells him they are going to make him enjoy himself. He gets up and Geri is standing in the doorway. She comes in and he is standing right next to her. She pushes him down on the bed. He falls and attempts to get back up, but she stops him. He is on the bed and she straddles him. He cannot get up. She moves to kiss him on the cheek. He tries to say something but she puts her figure to his mouth and silences him. He is quiet and begins to enjoy this kiss. She attempts to unbutton his shirt and once again he insists that she stop. She doesn�t. The kissing continues. She goes for his pants. His zipper is heard to be going down and he throws her off the bed and a thud is heard. He says, �What are you doing?� She replies, �Isn�t this what you want?� �Yes, but I can�t do it now. I have a career to follow up on. It�s my final chapter. I am fading away. I am dying and there is no way to save me now. It�s too late.� Edward exclaims. Just then someone is heard saying calmly, �Edward. Edward BoJangles. Wake up, Edward.� Edward was dreaming about the Geri Halliwell sex episode he had in which will be called a �dream.� He shouts and shakes as he wakes up as if it was a nightmare. He wakes up with a blurry vision of a person. Chapter III The blurry vision becomes clearer. As the vision is clearer, we see that it is Geri Halliwell. Edward jumps back as if he sees a ghost. He is freaked out because he doesn�t know if the dream was a dream now. He covers himself up and tried to hide from Geri. It doesn�t work. She rips the covers off of him and he shutters from the cold. He gets fed up and says, �Fine, what time is it? Let me get ready and we can talk.� Geri excitedly leaves the room. Edward puts on his clothes, the tux from the party, and goes downstairs to get something to eat. Him and Geri sit at a table where a maid delivers everything they need. Edward talks about what happened last night because he doesn�t remember. Geri says that nothing happened except she came back and found Edward asleep. Since she was tired too, she climbed into bed with him. Edward�s next obvious question was if they slept together. Geri says, �Of course we did. We were in the same bed together after all.� Edward is panic-stricken. �What do you mean we slept together? How could I make love while I was asleep! Unless�� Edward stops in mid-sentence. Geri continues by saying, �Unless what?� �We couldn�t have slept together, I mean, made love. There�s no possible way!� Geri finally realizing her mistake of choice of words covers her mistake by apologizing quickly. �You mean to tell me we didn�t have sex!� Edward blurts out in relief. The entire room gets quiet and the employees all stop and stare at Edward and Geri. Geri clears her throat and everyone goes back to what they were doing. �You have got to be kidding me.� Geri says, in response to Edward thinking they made love. Edward raises one eyebrow and looks at Geri like he was surprised she said that. After all she is over thirty years old and Edward is barely twenty. He says he wants to be excused then he leaves. She follows him and he asks where she is going. She answers with a upward nod and Edward asks why she has to follow him. She claims to have left something in their room. Edward says fine, come on up and that he is going to get a shower and then leave for his home. He is still upset about Victoria and plans to call her later on in the day. Edward gets into his room and immediately goes to the bathroom for the shower. Geri goes for her purse and stops. She notices that the bathroom door isn�t closed the whole way. She goes for a peak inside. Edward is in the shower behind glossed glass, which you can�t see through perfectly. She takes a step inside and Edward turns off the water and grabs his towel to dry his eyes. Episode Eight ******************************************************** Chapter I Edward dries his eyes by grabbing a towel and goes to step out of the shower. His sexy calves are seen; however, he hasn�t stepped out of the shower yet. Geri Halliwell�s song �Feels Like Sex� can be heard in the background. (Lyrics: All you people out there put your hands up in the air/Are you feeling you know what, or do you really care/If it feels like love/Then give it, baby that's a rush/If it feels like pain, pain, pain, pain/It's really just the same/If the mood is rude/Then you got the right attitude/And you better get down, you don't have to get undressed/Just because it feels like sex) Geri�s face has a smirk and she smiles. Suddenly she removes her shoulder strap to her dress. Just then Edward lets out a yell. �What are you doing in here?� Edward says. She is quite puzzled and he is very upset and angry. She claims that Edward led her on by not closing the bathroom door the whole way. He says that he didn�t bother since he was supposed to be alone and just in case of room service were to come into the room, he�d know. She apologizes and leaves the bathroom. She waits in the room and Edward soon comes out. He apologizes for leading her on. He then out of nowhere makes his move. He grabs the back of her head and leans her back and kisses her. She is stunned but tried to enjoy it. They separate from kissing, and then she says she needs to leave town for a little while. She doesn�t want to become attached to Edward and he says, �I will always feel something for you. You were my first love, my first crush, my first fantasy.� She gives him a kiss on the cheek and says that she doesn�t know when she will be able to return, but he will hear from her later in the year. She leaves and Edward gets teary eyed. This is the second time someone has left him. He sighs and says, �Well, back to the drawing board.� Chapter II Edward is seen checking out of the Kane Manor. He then travels home. On the way home he goes by Thomas� house. Thomas is walking into his house and Edward glances at him and then looks back on the road. He is still upset that Thomas took Victoria away last night. He goes home and is greeted by his pet Shelby, a black lab. He decides to stay in bed for the rest of the day watching television. He has fallen asleep while watching and is woken up by the telephone. He goes to answer it and he pushes the �Talk� button and no one is on the other line. He says, �Hello?� a few times before saying, �This isn�t funny, if you called you must want to say something now say it. Say it now damn it!� A girls voice is heard on the other line. She is sobbing. The person on the other line is Victoria. She said she would call back later. Edward tries to apologize but Victoria claims he needs time to calm down. She hangs up Edward pushes the �flash� button and calls Elizabeth. Elizabeth answers and Edward asks if she�d like to go on a walk with Lynne. He insists that only the three of them go on the walk. She says that he needs to confront Thomas about Victoria and whether or not they are still friends. He says that he can�t do that now because he just doesn�t want to. She says that is stupid and if he wants to go on a walk he must invite Thomas. He declines inviting Thomas and she says, �I guess we aren�t going for a walk tonight then.� Edward suddenly says that he needs some space between Thomas because he doesn�t want to do something irrational. Elizabeth agrees that he shouldn�t do anything irrational because he doesn�t know Thomas� motives for taking Victoria away from the party in which she was the guest of honor. Edward then suggests that they go on the walk to cool down. She agrees that he needs space and she is glad that he talked to her about this. Hopefully he will tell her more about what had happened. She tells him that Lynne doesn�t have to come with. He agrees. This is yet another chance for Edward to become close to another female. Maybe this time one will listen and stay with Edward for a while. Chapter III Edward awaits Elizabeth outside his front door. The night is chilly and Edward and Elizabeth are bundled up. They walk on their normal walking route. When they reach the Poplar Street Bridge they stop on the middle of it. They look down and see Elizabeth�s house that is a barrel. She says that her house is still there and it hasn�t been stolen yet. She joked about this before Edward became famous and he wonders what she is talking about. The rusty barrel lies by the railroad tracks and he just looks at it funny. She asks him if he remembers. He says no. He says that he can�t remember about her �house� and she tells him about it. �Remember on one of our walks before you left town. I joked about this being my house. It was rusty and there were empty bottles of beer there. I said it was a party place.� She looks at him and Edward looks a little upset. He repeats one word that she said, �Party.� Elizabeth hugs Edward and he stands there; not hugging back. She tries to cheer him up by asking why he�s spending time with her and not Geri. He leans on the bridge�s railing. With the wind blowing through his hair, he says, �She left me. I don�t know if she�s coming back or not. That should make you guys happy.� Elizabeth says that she wasn�t upset that Geri came to see Edward but that the timing she choose to stop by was a mess. �So you weren�t upset with me being happy and not spending the time with you all then?� �No.� she replies. Edward is relieved. He stands up and starts walking more. They both walk around their walking route. On the way back toward the Kane Manor and Clay Street School, Thomas� house is just around the corner. He doesn�t want to go by, but Elizabeth encourages him to go. If they meet it�s a chance of fate. He decides to continue. As soon as they get close to Thomas� house, Edward takes a breath. As they continue, Thomas is nowhere to be seen. They walk by Thomas� house with no problems. Edward gets home and Elizabeth goes home as well. Edward goes inside and goes to bed. As he falls asleep he says the following prayer: God, I don�t know where to start. This is all too much for me right now. I have worked hard to earn a living and now I want to relax. That�s not happening here, and if it doesn�t happen here then I can�t relax anywhere. Home is where you are supposed to feel good. It doesn�t feel good to be home anymore. Should I leave for a while? Take a trip or something. Please Lord, I ask that you look over me in my time of need a long with my friends, all of them, even Thomas. Also, if you could help me with my fading career, that would be great. In your name. Amen. Edward falls asleep with a smile on his face. Episode Nine ******************************************************** Chapter I Edward wakes up at approximately noon. He complains about half the day is over already. He gets out of bed and takes a shower. After the shower he sits down on the couch in his house and turns on the television. The channel 8 announcements are still up from the rescue. However, now there are different ones not just the ones about the rescue of Victoria. Edward mentions to himself that maybe he should watch a movie. He pulls out Spice World and starts to cry at the beginning of it because he sees Geri. �Come on Edward! Pull yourself together. It�s just a movie.� Edward says. He dries his eyes. He watches the rest of the movie. He spends the rest of the day depressed and sulks. He is still very upset with the situations of Geri and Victoria. He doesn�t do anything all day. �If anyone wants to do anything they can call me, I don�t want to call anyone. I would like to go walking later. Maybe I will go, I don�t know.� Edward says calmly. He watches movies the rest of the day. Around 8 o�clock Edward gets a phone call from Elizabeth. He is excited to hear from her. He doesn�t mention about going on a walk until she asks if he wants to. Edward says that he�d love to go for a walk. They go on their normal walking route this time with Lynne. Lynne wants to hear the story about what happened at the party. Edward tells her. Lynne comforts him. They stop at the Poplar Street Bridge and talk about Elizabeth�s �house�. He says that is how he feels, like the dumps. They continue on their walk and Edward goes to his house. He gets ready for bed and falls asleep really early. Chapter II The next two weeks or so Edward starves himself and goes walking at night. He is dipping into a depression and can�t seem to find any enjoyment in his life now. On the third week after the party Edward gets a phone call from one of his other friends that is still in high school with Victoria, Thomas, Jana, and Angela. Her name is Kate. She was wondering since she didn�t have a date for the prom if Edward would go with her. Her calling him up out of the blue surprised him. He told her that he had to think about it. He wasn�t too sure because in case if Geri returns he�d be ready for her. It all depended on other things as well. Victoria and Thomas would sure be there. Perhaps he could talk to both of them, but wasn�t prom supposed to be a wonderful night, the last big party before graduation? Edward did go to his senior prom. Although he never had a tour before school let out for summer he was busy with making new singles from his first album. If he sold enough albums he decided to go on tour. And he did. He went on a tour right after graduation. That was the last time anyone from Kane had seen him since his return. What a wonderful return it was supposed to be. However, now there are very few wonderful moments in his life now. Perhaps this is the boost he needs to help him recover from this depression. He tells her he will call her back soon before the week is up. Both persons hang up. He calls Elizabeth and tells her he is ready to walk tonight. She is surprised that he called her. She tells him that she will be around about eight again tonight. She says that he is going to get a surprise tonight during the walk. �I�ll talk to you then,� she said. Chapter III It is now eight o�clock and Elizabeth arrives at Edward�s house. He is very excited for his surprise and he is bouncing up and down. She tells him to settle down. She has realized that Edward has been in a depression and she figures out a way to settle this. Thomas gets out of the back end of the car. Edward exclaims, �Oh no! I don�t want this surprise! Take him back, he�s not going to help me right now.� What was she doing? Did she not realize that something bad could happen? Perhaps now was a good time to deal with things. Edward goes inside and Elizabeth walks right in after him. Grabs his arm and swings him around. She says with force, �Either you go out there and face your problems like the Edward I know, or you can just forget about me being around you for the time being. You realize how depressed you are. You are bringing me down as well. It�s time to stop that.� Edward apologizes and comes round and goes outside. It is getting warmer out and spring jackets are in use. Edward wears his red hoodie, Elizabeth in her maroon hoodie, and Thomas in a light jacket. The group starts walking and no one says anything. Edward doesn�t want to talk about it with Thomas, he might lie or try to cover something up and mess with Edward�s mind. By the time they get to the Poplar Street Bridge, Edward grabs Thomas and screams, �Why!� Thomas gets upset and almost accidentally throws Edward off the bridge! Edward is balanced on one foot almost ready to tumble off the bridge. Elizabeth stands there with a terrified look on her face. However, both regain their balance. Edward apologizes for being rough. He repeats his question softer and calmer. Thomas� response is this. �Why what? Why did I take Victoria home? Well, because she was getting upset. She didn�t need the extra stress from the situation. I also didn�t want her to have to go back to the hospital. I just didn�t want to see any harm come her way.� Edward says that he agrees that no one needs this stress but that he wasn�t going to harm her. He had no reason to take her and that if she felt bad then she could have stopped. Thomas agrees. Edward then tells him to stay out of both their lives. Thomas gets upset and starts walking back to his house. Edward continues the walk and poor Elizabeth is left to choose who she walks with. Remember she liked Thomas earlier in season one and told Edward that there would be nothing between them. However, she does like Edward because it appears that Thomas likes Victoria. She turns and follows a man. The man turns and waits. Episode Ten******************************************************** Chapter I As if there was any doubt, Edward turns and smiles. He waits for her to catch up. He asks her why she continued to walk with him and not Thomas. Her answer is, �Well, you know I did like Thomas cause I told you on one of our walks,� (Episode 1 Chapt. 3) �but I figured that he needs to cool down. After all it seems he�s in love with her.� Edward agrees and they continue walking. Although Elizabeth did choose Edward he was a little let down by the comment she made. She chose him because Thomas likes Victoria and not her? He doesn�t say anything about it for the remainder of the walk. However, they do talk about whether he handled that situation correctly. She says that only time can tell. The walk takes them right by Thomas� house. His car isn�t there so that is a good sign that he isn�t there. Edward takes a sigh of relief and goes to his house. There at his house there is a note in the door. He makes sure that Elizabeth doesn�t see it so he hides it from her. She leaves for her house and Edward goes inside. Looking through the door window he sees her drive away. He leans against the door and opens the letter. It is from Kate. He totally forgot to call her. Will it be to late to say yes? Chapter II Edward decides to call her. It�s only nine o�clock and her sister answers the phone. �Is Kate there?� Edward asks. She replies that she just got in the shower and that she will have Kate call him back. He thanks her and hangs up. Two minutes later the phone rings. It is Kate. �Edward?� she asks. Edward says that it�s him and she continues, �What do you want Edward I am hot and dripping wet.� Edward replies with a chuckle, �You always knew how to make me laugh. I have decided to go to prom with you that is, if the offer still stands.� �Yes, the offer still stands. However, guess what!� she says. Edward guesses that she left the water running and she just better tell him so she doesn�t waste the water. She says that she now has a boyfriend. She hasn�t had one ever, and vowed never to have one because she wouldn�t date. She is highly religious and thought a relationship would get in the way of God. They hang up as Edward says that she can fill him in later. Apparently, a lot has changed in Kane since Edward left and more changes are revealing themselves the longer he stays. Anyway, he still gets to go to prom; however, she will be with her boyfriend. She already bought the tickets for Edward and herself so it was up to him to go. This wasn�t going to be like a normal date as he had thought. No dinner before prom to worry about, no flowers for his date etc. This would be better, he�d get to enjoy himself and not have to worry. Prom was less then two weeks away. He had to get stuff in order. Chapter III Edward wakes up and makes a list of things he needs to do. He decides to go to �Judy�s Place� for his tux. Helping the local economy was a good idea especially in Kane where you had to otherwise your store would go out of business and then you wouldn�t have a place to get certain things. He also went to Holt�s Greenhouse to get his flower for his jacket. He got the rose this time not a carnation because he could afford it this time. He then called Kate to ask her what was going on with driving arrangements. He asked if he�d get a limo that they could join him. She agreed and that Jay, her boyfriend, would join them. Edward was delighted. He asked about dinner. She wanted to eat with Jay at the country club outside of Kane toward Mt. Jewett and Lantz Corners. Edward said that he could go take the limo around Kane for a little bit while they ate. He gets off the phone and looks at the clock. It�s 5:30. He calls Elizabeth and they go for an early walk. Lynne joins them this time and it�s nice outside. The birds are chirping and the sun is close to setting. It feels like summer outside. Edward is so excited and he tells Elizabeth he is going to go to prom. He is happy for the first time in weeks. She is happy for him but we see her look away and look sad. She looks back at Edward and he says, �I wish you could come with me. You are my best friend. I would never want to change that.� She said that she wouldn�t like to go because it would ruin her moments of her senior prom. He said that he would repay her for not being able to walk the night of prom so instead he says that he has a surprise for her the night of the prom. Episode Eleven ******************************************************* Chapter I It is now the day of prom. Edward BoJangles is going to go to his second prom ever. He must first pick up his tux, get the flowers, and wait. He fixes dinner for himself, Lipton Creamy Chicken rice and then gets ready for prom 2004 at Kane Area High School. The theme is about a desert. How romantic, not even. Edward doesn�t want to go to prom for the romantic stuff; he goes for the fun and party. His limo pulls up outside. He gets in and then is on the way to Jay�s house, then to Kate�s. Jay gets in and is shocked at how much Edward must have spent on renting it. Edward states he didn�t rent the limo, he bought it. Jay is shocked but overcomes it and plays with buttons. They approach Kate�s house. Both gentlemen go to the door. Her mother answers and they are let in. Edward asks where Koko is, a pet dog that is part of their family. Kate�s mother has to break it to Edward that Koko pasted away not to long ago. Edward is sorry and apologizes to the family for their loss. Suddenly, Kate is seen on the staircase. Edward is amazed at how beautiful Kate looks. She is stunning in her prom gown. Kate is so happy to see Edward. She remembers how she used to greet Edward at band practice a year before. She explains, �I would run and jump on you but I have a dress on.� Edward laughs and they hug. She goes over to Jay and he puts on her corsage. After a few pictures with Edward included they take off in the limo for the Kane Area Country Club for dinner. Edward as planned has his surprise planned for now. Chapter II On the ride over Edward, Kate, and Jay are all happy and excited. It proves to be a good time. Edward asks about their relationship. He asks if they are in love with each other or are they going out to see if there�s something more. They look at each other and say, �I think there is something here. We are only dating, Edward. It�s not like we are getting married.� Edward says he knows. He was just being nosey. Just then the limo slows and comes to a complete stop. The driver gets out and opens the door. Jay gets out first then Kate. He helps her out of the vehicle. Edward stays in the car and Kate asks if he wants to join them. He insists it�s okay. He has other plans. He said that he is going to take the limo back to Kane and will bring it back here around seven o�clock. They agree and we see the limo take off and Kate and Jay make their way into the Kane Area Country Club. We see the limo enter back into Kane. Edward stops at his house. He picks up balloons, a present, and a corsage. He puts all this stuff in the back of the limo with him. He then goes past the high school and out to Highland. He is on his way to see Elizabeth. He goes to her door and knocks. Her mother comes to the door and tells Edward that she went walking with Lynne from here not to long ago. He asks which way they went and she points. He says thanks and hops back into the limo. He goes down Pennsylvania Avenue and sees Lynne and Elizabeth. He tells the driver to go past them and stop. Elizabeth and Lynne have a puzzled but curious look on their face. They run up to the limo and look in the back window. All of a sudden the driver gets out of the car and both girls jump! The driver opens the back door and Edward is hiding inside with his balloons and stuff. Lynne gets in and gasps. Elizabeth asks, �Well, what is it?� Lynne notices him shaking his head telling her not to say anything. Elizabeth says, �Move over, I am coming in!� Chapter III Elizabeth is standing there getting madder by the minute. She can�t take it anymore and gets in and looks at Lynne. She notices a few balloons and a figure sitting across from her but a balloon is blocking the face. Edward moves the balloon and she starts to smile. She realizes it�s Edward and he asks Lynne if she�d like to go home. Lynne says that she�d rather go home cause she doesn�t want to intrude. Edward says that he isn�t trying to be mean, he just doesn�t want to have Lynne not do anything while they have fun. Edward takes Lynne home and tells her that he�s sorry. �I�ll be back later to pick you up when we are finished riding around and stuff,� he says. Lynne closes the door and Edward pulls out the corsage. The car starts moving away. Elizabeth says that this is too much and fights back tears of happiness. He then tells her that she has made Edward very happy the past few weeks when he was battling a spell of depression. She gives Edward a hug. He says that he doesn�t want her to read too much into this all. He just wants to stay friends and that he was just repaying the favor. Elizabeth didn�t have a date for her senior prom she just went with friends so, he was giving her a second chance. Although she wasn�t going to prom he let prom come to her. They go out on JoJo Road and stop at a field. He puts on a cd of his marching band songs their senior year. Simple Gifts is heard for a mile away. It is a slow dance and at the end both of them do �Dut, dut, dut, Flamingo!� And both put one leg up and stand like a flamingo. They laugh and then he says that he has to take her back because he has to go pick up Kate and Jay back at the country club. He drops her off at Lynne�s. We see the limo pull away and head back at the country club. Episode Twelve ******************************************************* Chapter I As the limo pulls away, Elizabeth is hounded by Lynne to tell her what happened. She smiles and waves goodbye to Edward instead of responding to Lynne. Lynne is looking at Elizabeth in disbelief. She said that Edward has wooed her. She says that she doesn�t know what�s going on. She doesn�t want to date him; however, he made her feel good about herself. This was the first time since Edward leaving that she feels good about seeing Edward. Lynne pulls on Elizabeth�s arm and insists that she tell her what had happened. Elizabeth stalls. She suggests taking a walk again; another short walk to calm the two down. So they walk and we go to Edward in the limo. He goes to the country club singing �Simple Gifts� to himself. When he gets there he is in such a wonderful mood. He gets out, doesn�t wait for the driver, and helps Kate into the limo. He lets Jay in and he follows Jay. Once Edward gets in he hums �Simple Gifts� again. Kate recognizes the song from last year�s marching band show and asks why he was singing it. He says with a smile, �It was a surprise.� Kate realizes that something has happened and replies, �Oh come on you can tell me. I won�t tell anyone. I promise.� Edward weary of his secrets with certain people in high school just says that, �It was part of my surprise with Elizabeth. I�ll tell you about it later. Maybe tomorrow, but not now.� They cruise through town twice then go to the prom. Chapter II The driver pulls up to the Kane Area High School and lets Kate out, next is Jay and finally Edward. Tons of flashes go off as soon as he is out of his limo. The press is everywhere. They all fight off the press and go inside. Once inside voting for King and Queen is taking place. Edward cannot vote but glances down the list. Thomas� name is on the list for possible King candidates. He wonders if Thomas would show his face. He follows the line and goes next to the Breathalyzer. He sees that Mr. Caplar is still principal at the high school. Mr. Caplar was the principal when Edward graduated. He asks how he is doing and Mr. Caplar said something about having been proud of Edward since leaving high school. Edward gives him a nod and progresses to the gymnasium where the prom is located. The hallway to the gymnasium is decorated with sandy floors, brown cloth, and in the trophy case are models of the Sphinx with all pictures of the senior class on them. Edward even spots one with his face on it. He wonders why they did that for him. Just then Jana comes up to Edward and tells him that he is basically the special guest and that rumor has it that he will become �Honorary Prom King� because he has graced them with his presence. Edward says that isn�t right for him to take someone else�s spotlight. Jana reassures him that everything will be alright if Edward does get �Prom King.� Chapter III Edward once again tells Jana that it isn�t all right if he gets �Prom King� it would take away the magic of the night and he doesn�t want to ruin certain peoples� senior prom. He does not need anyone else mad at him. He does insist that if he does get chosen then they pick the runner up as the true prom king. Jana tells the committee of teachers in charge of counting to figure out a runner up to be the prom king, and then later in the night give Edward his prize if they vote for him. Edward remembers that prom pictures are always taken with a stupid looking backdrop. His senior prom picture with his date, Chrissie, had a painting of �Starry Night� and it didn�t go with the theme, �A Starry Night in Paris.� Edward would like to get his picture taken with friends. He rounds up Jana, Angela, and Chrissie, who is here with her boyfriend Reid, to get in the picture with Edward. As he walks to the auditorium with his friends Victoria and Thomas walk into the hallway. He waits for them and Jana tells Edward not to do anything. He says that nothing is going to happen. He also states that Thomas and him had an understanding of what happened at the party back in March. He goes over to the couple and asks Victoria if she�d like to get in the picture with the group. She agrees. Thomas is upset. Edward did not ask for Thomas to be in the picture and Thomas grabs Victoria�s arm. He tells her not to get the picture with Edward. She asks him why she can�t have a harmless picture taken. He argues that she is his date. She then agrees that she is Thomas� date however; she is also Edward�s friend, with or without her memory. Thomas is furious. He storms off into the gymnasium. The picture gets taken and Victoria apologizes to Edward. He accepts the apology. An hour goes by. Edward and Thomas are on separate sides of the decorated gym. Suddenly the DJ announces that the king and queen announcement will be made soon. Mr. Caplar gets on the mike and tells everyone that this year�s prom queen is Jana. Everyone is excited and cheers for Jana. He then tells the crowd that this year�s prom king is� Episode Thirteen******************************************************* Chapter I This year�s prom king is Thomas. There is cheer and Mr. Caplar tells the crowd that there is something else he wants to tell them. He starts off by saying that this year�s prom there was a special guest joining them this evening. He tells them that Edward BoJangles is at prom and will also share the title of Prom King. Everyone is whispering and clapping unsurely of what has just happened. Edward, Thomas, and Jana all make their way to the DJ table. Unsure of what�s going to happen, Edward walks slowly. He finds Jana on their way and he gives her a big hug. He is so happy for her. Thomas is waiting at the DJ table already. He looks upset as if he were to kill someone. They are all at the DJ table and everyone gets crowned. They knew Edward was going to get crowned so they had the extra crown ready. Edward is smiling and Jana hugs him again. Thomas is not smiling and not happy about sharing his title with his enemy who wants to take Victoria away from him, or so he thinks! Thomas and Edward just don�t see eye to eye. Mr. Caplar gets on the mike one final time to tell the crowd that the queen and kings would now have their dance. Edward turns to Thomas and motions for him to take the first part of the dance. They are going to dance to the prom theme song, �Midnight at the Oasis.� As the music starts up Edward steps back to let Jana and Thomas have their time together. Thomas is happy for now and his face has a smile on it. Halfway through the song Edward taps Thomas on the shoulder. Thomas then turns to Edward. Thomas nods his head in approval and Edward takes Jana�s hands and then Edward is tapped on the shoulder almost immediately. Thomas� fist can be seen heading right for Edward�s nose. Edward is knocked out and gasping and screaming is heard. Chapter II Edward comes round and Thomas is being taken away, escorted by Mr. Caplar. Edward tells Jana and everyone that he feels he should leave. His crown is dented in from falling off Edward�s head. Every one of Edward�s friends wants to go with him. He tells them all that he has to talk to Kate and Jay before leaving to find out if they want Edward to come back for them or not. Edward finds Jay and he is furious when Edward asks if he knows where Kate is. Edward insists that Jay tell him where she is. Jay says that he doesn�t know and Edward grabs Jay�s sleeve. Jay then shakes free and says, �Get off me. That slut isn�t my responsibility anymore! The whore!� Edward punches Jay and Jay is knocked out for a split second. Edward then walks away. Jay goes after Edward but stops once Jana comes out of the bathroom and spots Edward. She tells him that Kate is in the bathroom crying. He goes to the door and speaks inside. He tells her to come out so he can take her home. She replies that she doesn�t want to ruin his night and says that she�ll walk home. He tells her that she did nothing to ruin his night; obviously she wasn�t in the gymnasium when Thomas punched Edward. She is shocked to hear the news and even more surprised that Edward punched Jay for her. Edward hugs Kate. Kate starts to cry and Edward tells her not to cry because it is Jay�s loss to loose such a wonderful girl. They walk back to the gymnasium and Edward tells everyone he is leaving with Kate. He suggests that everyone go with him to Perkins in Bradford about 30-45 minutes away. Everyone agrees even Victoria who stayed at prom wants to go. Then Edward suggests that someone special come with them. Chapter III All of Edward�s friends pile into his or her vehicles to head to Bradford. Jana, Kate, and Edward all are in the limo. Jana says that she is so terribly sorry about Thomas. She tells Edward that no one thought that Thomas would react that way. As we can see Edward�s nose is black and blue and swelling. The limo stops and Edward gets out and tells the two that he�ll be just a moment. While Edward is gone, Kate and Jana talk about what had happened. Kate is surprised that Thomas would do something like that and says, �He is normally a good guy. He can treat girls like crap at times but never thought he�d hurt someone.� Jana agrees with her and Jana wants to know what happened with Jay. Kate gives Jana the information. Meanwhile Edward goes up to Elizabeth�s door and knocks. The family�s dog is barking and Elizabeth answers the door. Elizabeth asks Edward about his nose. He tells her he will explain later. Edward asks her if she�d like to go to Perkins with everyone from Prom just as a get together. She tells Edward that she needs to get money but Edward says that it�s his treat. Elizabeth shrugs her shoulders and says, �Whatever.� They get into the limo and it drives off to Perkins. On their way to Bradford back at the prom Thomas sneaks back inside. He talks to his best friend, Billy. Thomas asks if Billy knows where Victoria is. Billy tells Thomas that she left with a bunch of people to Bradford with Edward. Thomas gets furious. He asks if Billy knows where at in Bradford. Billy shakes his head but tries to recall. He tells Thomas that it was a restaurant of some kind. Thomas thanks Billy and goes off to his car. He zooms out of the parking lot and heads to Bradford speeding really fast! Episode Fourteen ****************************************************** Chapter I As Thomas continues to speed to Bradford you can hear that there are empty beer bottles on the floor of the car. He speeds past cars in the two-lane-no passing zones. He also passes cars on the three lane passing zones. Obviously no cops are out because it�s the first part of the month. He manages to pass the limo without realizing its Edward and his friends. Inside the limo Edward, Kate, Jana, and Elizabeth are listening to music, laughing, and having a good time. They don�t see Thomas� red Chevy Blazer drive by. While Edward�s limo is entering the expressway into Bradford others are there waiting at Perkins. Victoria makes plans for about ten people and puts reservations under her name. As soon as tables are ready, Victoria, Chrissie, her date Reid, and Angela take their seats. A little later Edward and the others show up. They are taken to the group and Edward says he is fashionably late. Everyone giggles. Everyone finds his or her seat. A waitress comes to take their orders and she flirts with Edward. He just laughs it off. The waitress is older approximately forty years old. After the drink orders are taken Julie asks why Edward laughed at the flirting. He answers that she isn�t his type and she�s a little old for him. Kate then asks how old Geri is. He excuses himself and Jana asks where he�s going. He says he is going to see the waitress about a date. Everyone looks at him in shock. He then says that he�s really going to the bathroom. He turns around and the waitress is there with the drinks. He is red and walks away quickly. Chapter II While Edward is away the waitress says that Edward is cute and says that he seems familiar. Angela tells the waitress that Edward is famous. He is an entertainer who sings about band. The waitress says that she had to buy both his albums because she had a daughter in high school that was in the band. She leaves her name and number on a napkin on Edward�s plate. The waitress leaves and Edward says she was at the table a long time just to drop off drinks. Then Edward notices the napkin. He asks what it is. The waitress is mysteriously right behind Edward again and she asks if he�d make a visit to her house sometime. Edward says that she is not his type. She gets teary eyed and says that it is for her daughter. He apologizes for upsetting her. She tells Edward that she got upset because of her daughter, nothing from what Edward said. She then waves it away and asks for orders. Edward motions for everyone to order. Chrissie and Reid order their food. Then, Jana orders. Angela hits the table with her palms and says that she was going to order the same thing. The waitress says it�ll be okay and Edward chuckles. Jana finishes ordering and Angela is next to order. She orders her food by saying �I�ll have what she�s having!� Kate orders her food then Elizabeth. Edward is next to order. He orders a cheeseburger and fries. The waitress says she will be back with the food soon. The waitress walks away and the group start talking about different things such as how prom was and such. Chapter III There is barely anyone in the restaurant and suddenly Pink�s song �Don�t Let Me Get Me� comes on the radio. Edward starts singing his version �Don�t Believe In Seniority� and everyone starts shaking their heads and puts their heads in their hands. When the song ends the food arrives. When everyone has their food everyone eats and enjoys. Edward�s song �March Away� a parody of Uncle Cracker�s �Drift Away� plays over the radio. After the song a radio personnel announces that Edward is in Bradford eating at Perkins with a group of friends all dressed up because of prom. He wishes Edward and his friends a fun and safe night. Edward says that was very nice of him but wonders how he found out he was at Perkins. He looks over at the kitchen area, waves, and smiles. The waitress waves back. Thomas is at Pizza Hut across town looking for Victoria. He then hears that Edward is at Perkins thanks to the radio personnel. He zooms off and is heading in the direction for Perkins in Bradford. Episode Fifteen ****************************************************** Chapter I At Perkins, Edward and the gang finish eating. The waitress comes over asks if anyone wants dessert. Edward says dessert is on him. Jana and Angela immediately say they don�t want anything more to eat. He asks anyone else a second time. Chrissie and Reid order one sundae. Edward gives them a smirk and Chrissie asks why he did that. He says that he remembers where she was a year ago. �You were sitting next to me at this very place looking very cute in your after prom out fit. We called you Farm-girl Barbie. Your dress was �Barbie Pink� and you looked so pretty, much like you do now, and look. You have a boyfriend now. Reid take care of her or I�ll come and get you.� Edward says with a laugh. The waitress gives a cough so they can finish ordering. Edward looks around as a final chance before he orders. He gets a Brownie sundae. Thomas pulls into the parking lot and watches them eat their dessert. Chapter II Suddenly Thomas notices they are getting up and putting their coats on. He starts the Blazer and as the gang is outside Thomas moves the car. He speeds up to them and slams on his breaks. Edward and everyone are surprised and scared to see him. He gets out of the car and Edward tells him he doesn�t want trouble. �You�re the one causing trouble Edward!� Thomas says. Edward asks if Thomas has been drinking and Thomas answers saying no and we can see him stumbling around. Thomas goes over to Victoria and grabs her by the arm. �Come on, we�re leaving.� Thomas demands. Edward stops and grabs Victoria�s other arm. She hugs Edward and says, �I�ll be okay. I have my memory back.� Edward smiles and pulls her away and asks �Really?!� She says, �Yes, really really.� Edward hugs her again. Victoria whispers in Edward�s ear that she�ll drive him home if Edward could pick her up to take her home when she calls him at his house. Edward shakes his head and Victoria gets in Thomas� car. Thomas asks what she thinks she is doing. She tells Thomas that she is driving him home. Thomas asks why she tells him that he is in no position to be driving. He gets in and just sits there. The gang gets to their vehicles and gets in to them. They drive off. Victoria starts the car and drives out of the Perkins parking lot. Chapter III On their way home Edward tells Elizabeth, Kate, and Jana he had a really good time and that he hopes everyone gets home safely. The focus switches to Victoria and Thomas. The radio is on. Victoria turns it off to talk to Thomas. Thomas gets upset and turns it back on. Victoria turns it off again but Thomas does the same thing. She turns it down this time and he sits there. She has found a compromise. Thomas asks her why she didn�t follow him (her date) at prom while he was getting kicked out. She replies that he ruined his night and the nights of Edward, Jana, and hers as well. However Edward was trying to make it better and Thomas seemed to ruin it again. Thomas gets upset and says. �What have I done to ruin your night, again?� Victoria answers, �Drinking, you could have killed yourself or others or severely hurt someone.� Thomas gets more upset as if he can�t take it anymore. He says �You don�t love me anymore. You love him, don�t you. Get out of my car, use your cell phone to call him and your prince charming will pick you up.� Victoria says that she is not getting out of his car. Thomas gets furious and grabs the wheel. The car goes into the other lane. Victoria gets the car back into her lane and tells Thomas to stop. He doesn�t. Once again the car swerves. This time a car is on the opposite lane and honks its horn. It swerves to its opposite lane and Victoria tries to recover the car. She manages to do so right in time for her to hit the other car at full speed.
Season 2 Episodes 16-22
Episode Sixteen******************************************************* Chapter I (Flashback: Thomas gets furious and grabs the wheel. The car goes into the other lane. Victoria gets the car back into her lane and tells Thomas to stop. He doesn�t. Once again the car swerves. This time a car is on the opposite lane and honks its horn. It swerves to its opposite lane and Victoria tries to recover the car. She manages to do so right in time for her to hit the other car at full speed.) Thomas flies out of the windshield and Victoria who was wearing her seat belt, hits her head on the steering wheel. Victoria grabs her cell phone and calls 9-1-1. She tells the operator there was a car wreck and the operator alerts a local fire department and the Kane Ambulance EMTs. She hangs up. She notices that she�s going to get into a lot of trouble as she sees the beer bottles. �They�ll think I am a drunk driver.� She gets the bottles and throws them down over a hill. She is in shock and doesn�t realize Thomas isn�t in the car anymore. Chapter II Back in the limo Jana and Elizabeth are holding their stomachs. Both look white and sick. Edward asks if he should tell the driver to pull over. Jana nods. The limo pulls over and Jana, Elizabeth, and Edward all get out. Jana and Elizabeth throw up and Edward says �Eww!� and turns around. He goes into the limo and gets 2 glasses of water and 2 napkins. He hands one of each to both girls. Both girls seem to feel better and they are ready to head back to town. Just as Edward heads into the limo he hears sirens. He pauses and both ambulances go by speeding fast. He knows everyone left Perkins before him except Victoria and Thomas. Everyone gets back into the limo when Kate asks what is happening outside. Edward says that he thinks that Thomas and Victoria were in an accident. He isn�t sure but there is a chance it could be them. He plans on taking the others home just then inside the limo Jana and Elizabeth throw up again in the ice buckets. Edward tells the driver to pull over again. They empty the ice buckets and Edward plans on taking them to the hospital instead. Just in case something serious is going on. Chapter III Meanwhile, back at the accident, Victoria goes to the other car. The driver is unconscious. She tries to move him to wake him up but he falls back with his eyes closed. She fears he is dead. Just then the two ambulances and two fire trucks get to the scene. Victoria goes to the personnel and tells them there is someone in the other car. Then she heads over to the ambulance to get checked out. She is asked if anyone else was in the car with her. She screams �Thomas!� and rushed out of the ambulance. She is restrained and the EMT tells them to search the car for a guy named �Thomas.� The EMT comes back shortly and says there is no one else in the car. Victoria tells them that he wasn�t wearing a seat belt and he must have exited the car on impact. The EMTs search for Thomas and we see Thomas lying in long grass. He is bloody and bruised. Cuts mark up his face and his clothes are cut and torn. Suddenly he moans. No one hears him. He then moans louder. The trucks engines drown him out. He moans even louder and tries to get up. He can�t get up, but he manages to let out a scream! One EMT hears him and hollers for the others to help and get a stretcher. Thomas is put on a stretcher and Victoria goes with him in the ambulance. The other driver from the other car is but in the other ambulance and taken to Kane Community Hospital as well. The limo pulls up at the hospital and everyone gets out. Just then sirens get louder. It is the two ambulances heading for the ER loop where the limo is now. The driver pulls around and parks. The ambulances go in and the back doors opens. Thomas on the stretcher is wheeled in. Edward notices as he helps sign Elizabeth and Jana in the emergency room. Edward gasps as he sees Victoria. She is crying and Edward says, �Oh my God, what happened!� She says, �I�ll talk to you later about what happened. What�s going to happen? I am so scared� Episode Seventeen***************************************************** Chapter I Victoria, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Jana are all in the ER. The doctors work on Thomas. Edward and Kate are in the waiting area. He is a nervous wreck. Thomas� parents are walking into the hospital and ask at the window if they can find out about their son. The personnel behind the window tells them that she will have a doctor come out and explain his condition as soon as one can. They go to the waiting room. Thomas� mother goes over to Edward and Kate and asks if they know what happened. Edward shakes his head and Kate says no. Thomas� mother then asks why they are at the ER. Edward tells her that they are here because Elizabeth and Jana got sick after eating at Perkins. He says he thinks its food poisoning of some kind or maybe they are just sick. He mentions that Elizabeth and Jana didn�t eat the same thing so why they both got sick is beyond any reasoning. Suddenly Angela comes in through the entry doors to the hospital by the ER with her mother. She throws up on the floor and a doctor who looks like Doogie Howser comes out of the ER doors, slips, and falls. He is furious and yells for someone to clean up the mess. Angela says she is sorry but she couldn�t help it. As the doctor says it�s okay, she throws up on him. Thank goodness he is wearing scrubs! Chapter II The doctor gets furious and tells Thomas� family he will be back as soon as he can get changed. He glares at Angela again. Angela says sorry again like as if she thinks the doctor wants her to do something because it�s all her fault. The doctor leaves and Victoria�s parents come into the hospital now. They are a nervous wreck. They go to the window and ask for answers as to what happened. They are told to have a seat in the waiting room and the doctor would be right out as soon as he can. They sit down. All together there is Kate, Edward, Thomas� parents, Victoria�s parents, and Angela�s mother waiting in the Emergency waiting room at the Kane Community Hospital. All look like they are in shock as the worst-case scenarios race through their minds. There is an awkward silence and suddenly after much time the doctor arrives to tell each person the news. The doctor tells them because of patient-physician laws only the family can know about the details. So each family will be called upon when the doctor is ready to answer questions. He tells Victoria� family to follow him first. Out in the hall you can hear mumbling. Nothing is clear. Suddenly you hear the doctor yell, �Get the crash cart here STAT!� Everyone rushes out to see Victoria�s father grabbing at his chest perhaps from a heart attack. Chapter III The doctor leaves with Victoria�s father. Once again everyone must wait longer for news of his or her children or friends. Victoria�s mother follows her husband into the ER. A nurse comes out to tell them that they are having a shortage of doctors tonight but we are doing our best to supply the best health care to them all. The nurse leaves and Edward asks everyone if they would like some coffee or snacks from the vending machine. A few people say yes. Edward asks Kate to come with him. She does. At the vending machine Edward tells Kate he thinks Thomas caused whatever happened to Victoria and Thomas some how. He isn�t sure what happened but knows something happened and Thomas is to blame. He tells Kate his reasoning is that he was drinking. Kate tells Edward Victoria was driving so perhaps it�s her fault, and he doesn�t know what happened. �It�s too early to tell what happened Edward,� she says. They return with the coffee and snacks. The doctor comes out after everyone has their coffee and a moment of silence soon after. He tells Angela�s mother to come out into the hall. Thomas� parents become upset and say that they were waiting longer. The doctor tells them that Thomas� condition is serious and complicated. �It may be a little longer till we know what�s going on, okay?� the doctor says. Angela�s mother is told that her daughter will be fine; however, she will need to be admitted to the hospital for approximately a week to do tests and find out what�s causing her illness. Angela�s mother asks to see her daughter and the doctor tells her she can once she gets into a room on the second floor. The doctor goes back inside the ER doors. Angela�s mother comes back and says that Angela will be just fine. She goes over to Edward and asks what Angela�s symptoms were. As Edward was getting at, the symptoms are the same. From what Edward guesses, if Angela is going to be ok then Jana and Elizabeth will be okay. Later after about ten minutes the ER doors open again, the doctor comes out and wishes to see Thomas� parents. They are taken out into the hall. Mumbling is heard and then suddenly Thomas� mother let�s out a yell. �NO!� she yells as she starts to cry very loud. All of the persons in the waiting room fear the worst. Episode Eighteen***************************************************** Chapter I The doctor comes into the waiting room and asks if Edward and Kate are family to anyone here tonight. Edward says no. Kate shakes her head but says �We are really close friends with everyone here tonight.� Edward whispers, �Almost everyone.� The doctor explains to them that they cannot see their friends until they are stable or in a room. Edward shakes his head to show he understands. Kate wipes a tear from her eye. Edward tells Kate to come with him to the chapel to pray for everyone. Kate says, �I don�t remember Kane Hospital having a chapel.� Edward thinks about it and says, �I guess you are right. Well let�s all pray right here then.� Everyone agrees and says a prayer or two to themselves. Edward grabs Kate�s hand and they both hug each other. Soon after everyone is done praying or soon to be finishing, the waitress from Perkins is rushing through the doors and goes to the window to talk to a person in charge about what�s going on. She is yelling and screaming. She goes to the waiting room and sees everyone in the room. She is crying and very dramatic. Soon her daughter comes in behind her. She comes in and calmly sits next to her mother and says, �I parked the car mother.� Her mother kisses her and tells her, �I don�t know what I would do without you.� Chapter II Edward asks Kate if she sees who it is. Kate nods and says, �Yeah. I wonder if she came after you cause you didn�t tip her well enough.� Edward replies, �Well she sure gave the radio station a tip. Didn�t she!� Edward stands up and Kate follows him. Edward wonders where Jana and Elizabeth�s parents are. He wonders if they were notified. He goes to the front desk window and asks if their parents were notified. She says she will call again, just in case. While the person at the window is on the phone, Edward and Kate talk. Kate asks Edward if he�d go talk to the waitress� daughter. Just to make a new friend and make her happy. Edward thinks about it and agrees. They go back to the waiting room. Kate takes her seat. Edward goes up to her and asks her and her mother if they�d like any coffee or snacks from the vending machine. The waitress asks for a cup of coffee. The girl says she doesn�t know what she wants and Edward suggests she go with him to the vending machines. She does. Edward introduces himself and she tells Edward she is a big fan and that he didn�t have to introduce himself because she knows everything about him. He tells her she can�t possibly know everything about him. She tells him she buys a Kane Republican (the town paper) every time he is in it. He rolls his eyes. He tells her she shouldn�t read anything about him in that paper. It�s all lies what they write. He asks her what her name is. She looks at him for a while. They put money in the machines and stand in silence. He repeats himself. She again says nothing. He asks why she doesn�t tell him her name. She tells him she doesn�t want to get close to him because he is her celebrity crush. �No one can take my thoughts and fantasies away from me, only you. That is, if you were to never like me I would be devastated.� Edward tells her that he doesn�t plan on dating anyone. His career is fading away. He notices the Kane paper and takes one. He points to the article they wrote about him about his record sales aren�t doing well. He might have to go on tour again just to raise money to make up for the losses. He hasn�t told anyone about him leaving Kane again. He doesn�t want to leave but he might have to in order to not go broke. He stops and tells the girl that he shouldn�t have told her any of this and that she can�t tell anyone. She promises. He thanks her. She tells him they should get back to the others. He agrees and they return. Chapter III He gives the waitress her coffee and sits down. Kate tells Edward Thomas� parents were just in here to collect their things and head up to Thomas� room so he isn�t dead. She also tells Edward that he is very critical. The doctor said he might not make it overnight. Edward turns white and is basically in shock. He asks about Victoria. She tells him she is in a room as well. Edward asks if Kate wants to go to their room. They get up and Kate goes to the window to ask which room Victoria is in. Edward tells the girl where he is going and to tell her it was nice meeting her and such. She says the same and asks if he�d like to hang out sometime. He agrees and pulls out the piece of paper with her address the waitress gave him. She looks at her mother and says, �How could you.� Edward leaves with a smile on his face and looks at Kate and the smile disappears. Victoria is in room 210. Kate and Edward walk to the elevator. While they are walking Kate asks what he and the girl talked about. Edward answers, �Stuff.� She says, �Oh.� The door to the elevator opens and they get in. He says, �Everything is falling apart right now. I can�t take much more of this.� The doors to the elevator closes. Up on the second floor the doors open and Edward and Kate step out. Edward tells Kate that if anything else goes wrong tonight he will flip out. They find Victoria�s room. They step inside and ask how she is doing. She says fine except for the headache and her nerves are bad. Edward asks if she is ready to tell her what happened. She tells him not right now. She motions to the other side of the curtain where another patient is. He gets up slowly. Looks at her and then wonders over to the curtain. He pulls it back and Thomas is seen all scraped up. He leaves the room. Kate follows him. He is waiting for the elevator. Kate tries to slow him down. He gets in. Kate asks him where he is going. He tells her he is leaving town. �I�ll be back next year.� Episode Nineteen***************************************************** Chapter I Back at his house Edward wakes up. He believes last night was a dream. He gets up and gets a shower. He still thinks that last night never happened. He calls Kate and she tells him to come over as soon as he can. He walks to Kate�s. Kate tells Edward to get in the car and they head to the hospital. He mumbles to himself, �It really did happen last night didn�t it?� They get to the hospital and Edward goes inside and has a panic attack. He tells Kate he can�t go in. He is scared. He doesn�t want to know if Thomas is dead. He doesn�t want to know anything bad happened to any of his friends. Kate tells him to follow her. She grabs him and he follows. They go to Elizabeth�s room where her parents are sitting. She is sleeping and Edward asks her parents how she is doing. They say that she is better. She isn�t throwing up now. He is happy to hear the news. He asks if they know anything about Jana or Angela. They tell Edward to go over to the other side of the room. Sure enough both girls are lying in their beds. Angela is awake and he asks if everyone is making progress. She reports that she is better. Everyone here can keep fluids down now and they are all going to get better. He is happy to hear the news. She asks about Victoria next. She tells him she doesn�t know anything about her condition or Thomas�. He tells her he is going to go see her now. He whispers for her to get some rest and get better. He leaves. Kate goes with him. They go to room 210. Victoria�s mother is in the room and Edward asks to talk to her outside. Victoria is sleeping still. He asks her what her condition is and that of her husbands. She tells Edward that Victoria is doing fine. She will be able to leave in a couple days possibly. The doctors still need to run tests on her to see if she might have lost her memory like before. As for her husband she tells Edward it was a heart attack and that he will be fine. It was good that he was here. He has a smile on his face because everyone appears to be doing fine. He then looks in the room. He asks about Thomas. She doesn�t make a happy face or anything. She tells Kate and Edward, �He has to be put in his own room. He made it through the night. It was a miracle that he is still alive. He went through the windshield of the car you know.� Edward�s jaw drops. She is surprised that Victoria didn�t tell him. Chapter II Victoria�s mother also tells him that Vicky hasn�t told him something else. �Apparently with all female patients they must do a pregnancy test just in case they might cause a miscarriage or something to that affect. Well it turns out that Victoria is in fact pregnant. She denies it but the test came back positive,� she says. Edward turns to Kate and Kate is looking straight into Edward�s eyes. She faints into his arms. He lays her down and fans her with his hands. She comes round and asks, �How could this happen?� Victoria�s mother says she doesn�t know but she is going to get to the bottom of it. That�s what did Victoria�s father in. He couldn�t take the news of his only offspring having a child herself at such an early age. However, he will be just fine as stated before. Kate is standing on her own now and Edward tells her she should go. It�s been a long day already for both of them and he would like to go as well. Edward tells Victoria�s mother that they will be back later in the day to see how everyone is doing. They go to the car and sit in silence till Edward asks if Kate is going to start the car. She starts the car and says, �Sorry, I guess I am still in shock.� Edward nods, �I think we are all in shock. This is all a terrible dream I know. Everything will be okay when I wake up. I am sure of it.� Kate pinches Edward and he screams. She says, �Okay Edward, it�s time to wake up. If this is a nightmare for you, think about what everyone else is going through.� Chapter III Edward arrives back at Kate�s. He tells her he is going to get something to eat for lunch and then maybe be back to go to the hospital around 6. Kate agrees and goes inside. Edward starts to walk home. There are more clouds in the sky and it looks like it�s about to rain. Edward tries to walk a little faster. By the time he gets halfway home it pours. He stops in his tracks and looks up in the sky. �Figures, this is just my luck. It feels good though,� He says. He arrives back at the house and starts taking off his wet clothes, which were sticking to his body. He changes and makes a late lunch. It is now three o�clock and Edward is consumed with worry. He cannot stop thinking about Victoria and the others. He questions in his mind who the father of Victoria�s baby could be. Certainly it is not himself, but he fears he already knows the answer. Thomas can�t be the father. He would not do that to Victoria yet. Would he? Edward picks out a video to watch to take his mind off of his worries. He picks out Clue. He fixes some popcorn and watches the movie. His eyelids become heavy and he is about to fall asleep. He does after 15 minutes of the movie. He starts to dream about the movie Clue. Elizabeth is Miss Scarlet; Thomas is Col. Mustard; Victoria is Mrs. White; and Edward is the butler, Wadsworth. There are also a few more characters but Edward cannot make out their faces. He is dreaming about the part of the movie where the lights go out and there is darkness. Someone screams and all of the characters are lying on the floor except Edward. Suddenly the chandelier falls on Edward and he wakes up suddenly. It is now six and Edward must go to Kate�s to join her for the hospital visit. His dream is still in his head as he walks to her house. He knocks on the door and Kate answers with the phone to her ear. She hangs up and tells Edward she just tried to call him. They get into the car and go to the hospital as planned. They first stop in room 210 to see Victoria. They enter the room and notice Thomas has been moved. Edward is relieved. Victoria tells them that she still can�t talk about what happened but will explain when she�s out of the hospital. She also tells them something else more important. �I�m going to get out of here tomorrow,� she says. Edward and Kate look at each other and smile and hold hands as a sign of hope. Episode Twenty ***************************************************** Chapter I Still at the hospital, Edward and Kate travel through the halls to see Jana, Angela, and Elizabeth. Jana and Angela are awake and perky. Their color has come back and both are looking well. Elizabeth is still a little pail and drained. Edward goes to both girls and gives them a hug. He is so happy both of them are doing well. They tell him the doctor told them that they could leave in two days. Edward is happy. He asks about Elizabeth. They make a sad face and shrug. He sits over at Elizabeth�s bed and grips her hand. She opens her eyes. Edward looks up and tells her that she has to get better because they are missing so many walks. She nods slowly. He asks if the doctors know what is wrong with her. She speaks saying, �No, they don�t.� He tells her to get more rest and get better so they can go walking soon. He tells everyone he is going to leave so she can rest. Kate follows him. He goes to the elevator and Kate tells Edward, �Aren�t you forgetting about someone? What about Thomas? Aren�t you going to go see him at all? You can�t hold something you don�t know is or isn�t his fault against him.� �I don�t want to see him, have you forgotten what he did to me at prom. I didn�t ask to be crowned. He isn�t a friend anymore,� Edward replies. Chapter II Edward gets into the elevator and Kate doesn�t follow him. On the ground floor the elevator doors open. The mystery girl with her mother (the waitress) are standing in front of Edward. Edward sees her and decides to stay in the elevator. The females get on and press 2. Edward says hello and the mystery girl looks over and replies with a nod. Her mother says, �Shoot, I forgot something in the car. Wait here on the second floor and I�ll be back soon.� Mystery girl nods again. Edward gets off with her. He asks whom they are here to see. She tells him that she and her mother are there to see her father. Edward asks what is wrong with him and she tells him that he was in a car wreck. Edward then asks if he is going to be all right. She tells him that it�s a fifty-fifty chance. Right now he is on ventilators and has machines hooked up to him to help him. He tells her that he is sorry about that. He also tells her that he hopes everything will be okay again. She gets teary eyed and he hugs her. Suddenly her mother comes off the elevator and screams. She takes her daughter and yells at her for trying to hook up with Edward when her father�s life hangs in the balance. Edward is disappointed. Edward has always felt weird around parents because they don�t understand him; even his own. Kate comes out of a room and sees Edward. She goes up to him and asks what he is still doing at the hospital. She thought he left by walking home. She waves her hands and says, �Nevermind.� Edward tells her what he was up to. She thinks Edward has fallen in love, but he insists he doesn�t want a relationship now and has other things on his mind. He asks how Thomas is. She tells him that it isn�t looking good. He is also on a ventilator and many machines. He asks if he is going to die. Edward tells Kate, �I can�t think of one of my friends, I mean, someone I have known die. It just wouldn�t feel right. Like a puzzle missing a piece. It throws everything off. Thomas can�t die.� Chapter III Edward and Kate push the down button for the elevator and get in. Before Edward gets in he sees the mystery girl. He tells Kate that he will call her when he needs a ride home. She agrees by saying, �Whatever. I�ll be at home.� Edward gets out of the elevator and goes to see the mystery girl. He asks if she is doing anything later, perhaps he could take her out to dinner and talk about stuff. She tells him she�d love that. He then tells her that she must tell him her name before they can go out in public. �You feel like a stranger to me, one of my own fans. Someone I already love for their love of me as an artist,� He says. She looks deep into his eyes and tells him that she can�t tell him her name. He can�t get attached to her especially now. �What would my mother think, she saw us hugging and she flipped. What if we were to start dating, like you taking me out to dinner?� she says. Edward counters saying, �This was not intended to be a date. It�s just a little distraction to take your mind off your father. But if you don�t want to go out perhaps you could go with me and some of my friends to Twin Lakes?� Twin Lakes is a local swimming location near Wilcox, PA about 15 minutes from Kane. She says she would love to go and meet some of his friends and him. He says great. She goes to him and whispers into his ear, �My name is Annie.� Suddenly Annie�s mother is standing in the hallway and screams for Annie to come over to her and leave Edward. Edward tells her he will be in touch. Edward leaves by entering the elevator and calling for Kate to pick him up. He waits downstairs. Meanwhile upstairs in the hallway outside Annie�s father�s room her mother is yelling at her for kissing Edward. She tells her that she was whispering something into his ear, not kissing him! She tells Annie she doesn�t care what she was doing. She is not to hang around Edward. He is a celebrity and he doesn�t want her. Just then she says to herself that Edward is a celebrity. She tells Annie to go get Edward. �Don�t let him get away,� she tells her. Annie confused leaves and goes downstairs. Annie�s mother is talking to herself saying, �These medical bills are going to be to much for us. Perhaps if Annie falls in love with Edward we will be able to pay for all this and much more. I would be able to live in luxury. I would be rich. Now, if only, Annie could keep Edward�s interest. They have to fall in love. I want that money!� Meanwhile back downstairs Edward is sitting on a bench and Annie comes out the doors. Annie tells him that she is sorry about her mother and that she doesn�t care what she thinks. �I think you are really smart and down to earth. You haven�t let getting rich go to your head,� she says. Edward thanks her for the compliment. Annie shutters cause of the cold and Edward offers her his red hoodie. Upstairs staring out of the window of Annie�s father�s room, Annie�s mother is smiling devilishly. Episode Twenty-One*************************************************** Chapter I Edward gets home and goes to bed after getting on the Internet for a little bit. He gets off the Internet because most of his friends are still in the hospital. He wakes up and takes a shower, gets dressed and calls Kate. Kate is eating breakfast and tells Edward she will be ready to go around noon. The day is warm and sunny. Edward checks the weather on the Internet and then goes and fixes lunch for himself and finally walks to Kate�s. Kate is ready and they go to the hospital. On their way Edward asks Kate is she�s up to going to Twin Lakes with a few of the other people in the hospital. She says that it�s exactly what she needs, time away from everything going on at the hospital. He asks if he should invite other people to go or not because he is worried about whether or not they will be able to have fun after all they are all recovering. They both decide it won�t hurt to just ask. They arrive in the hospital and make their way to Victoria�s room. No one is there. They go to the nurses� station and Lynne, Elizabeth and Edward�s friend and an RN, is there. She tells them that Victoria is downstairs getting final test done. She also tells them that Elizabeth, Jana, and Angela are also taking final tests so they should wait by the elevators for them to come up. They do. Victoria is the first to come up. Kate and Edward follow her and her mother back to the room. Edward tells her about his plan and she says she can but has to ask her mother. Victoria is getting released today and her parents decide that if they are careful she can go. Edward says for her to meet at his house at three o�clock. Kate and Edward go back to the nurses� station and wait for more of his friends. Victoria and her mother are waiting to go down the elevator when Jana is already on it waiting to get off. Jana is taken to her room. Edward asks if she is going to be able to leave. She nods with a smile. Edward then asks about the trip to Twin Lakes. She says she can since the doctor okayed her discharge from the hospital. Jana tells them that Angela should be able to leave as well. The news isn�t good for Elizabeth however. She is still suffering from something. She isn�t reacting to treatment like Jana and Angela. The doctors are testing her for other things. Just then Angela is brought into the room. Kate asks her. She agrees. She tells them she can leave the hospital as well. Edward is excited by the good news. He tells them to meet his at his house at three o�clock. Edward waits for Elizabeth to come up. She finally does and he walks over to her. He asks how she is doing. She whispers, �Not so good. I have to stay in the hospital a little longer. They don�t know what�s wrong with me. Could you hand me my can of pop over there on the table?� Edward gets it and puts the straw to her mouth. He feels so bad about how Elizabeth is suffering. He tells her what his plans are for today and that he will miss her very much. It�s close to half past one and Edward tells everyone they better get going to get ready. Edward holds Elizabeth�s hand and says, �See you later. This isn�t goodbye.� Chapter II Outside the room Kate and Edward are going to the elevator. Kate doesn�t push for Edward to see Thomas anymore. She gives up on wanting him to see Thomas. The elevator doors open and Kate and Edward arrive on the ground floor. Outside is Annie and Vivian (Annie�s mother). Edward goes up to Annie and invites her. Annie asks her mother and her mother says very loudly, �No!� Just then she covers and says calmly, �We�ll see.� After all Vivian wants Edward�s money or what she thinks he has to be able to pay for things. She must let her daughter go with to push their relationship to go to the next level. Annie begs her mother to say yes and finally she caves in. Annie hugs her mother. Edward tells her to meet at his house at three just like the others. He also has to give the address and directions to her because she doesn�t live in town. �Well, we have to go get ready.� Edward says as Kate and he leaves. Edward and Kate get home and get ready. It is really warm. Edward double-checks the weather and it appears a storm is in the western part of Ohio. They have about two to three hours before the storm gets to them. It should be enough time to have fun. Edward gets dressed and gets a beach towel and other things including a big picnic basket filled with a lot of food. He prepared this last night and sets it by the door with other stuff. The limo Edward bought for prom is outside. He takes his stuff out to the limo. He calls his driver to get ready to take him to Twin Lakes. Edward�s friends start to arrive one by one. He tells them they will all go in the limo instead of paying for each car to park in the parking lot. Everyone agrees and piles into the limo. Annie is last to arrive and Edward tells her that he was worried she wouldn�t be coming. Vivian yells out of the car to be careful and to be back at the hospital before 6 for dinner later. She tells her mother she will be safe and be back for dinner. Vivian drives away and goes back to the hospital to be with her husband. The limo drives away heading for Twin Lakes. Chapter III Angela, Annie, Edward, Jana, Kate, and Victoria are heading to Twin Lakes in the limo. Edward asks anyone if they want a drink or a small snack for the ride. A few people take Edward up on his offer and are enjoying the ride. The limo pulls off onto a windy road and then pulls up to the tollgate before the parking lot. The driver gets the pass, which hangs on the rearview mirror, and continues down to the parking lot. The lake is deserted and only a few people are there but are leaving as soon as the group makes their way to the spot to have their picnic. Drinks, sandwiches, and more small snacks are in the basket. Everyone has their towels and bathing suits on. Before eating a lot everyone, except Annie and Edward, heads into the lake. It is a small lake surrounded by trees. There are a few small fishing piers around the lake and the swimming area isn�t that big. The lake is called Twin Lakes because of the plan to make two lakes; however, upon completion of the first lake there was no need to the second. It was made during the great depression. The scenery is beautiful much like the town of Kane. It is a very clean park. Annie and Edward go walking on the gravel-like path that surrounds the lake. Edward tells Annie he is glad he got to meet her. He also tells her that he�d like to learn more about her and starts asking question about her life. His first question when he meets people or needs to ask a question is always, �What is your favorite color?� He asks her and she replies, �The color the sea is. Kind of like a greenish blue.� He says, �Oh.� She wonders if there is something behind that question. He replies in his senior year he did a project on color analysis. She asks what her color means. He says that the green part means that she is mad or jealous of someone. He asks if she is and she tells him she can�t tell. He continues to say that the blue means that she is saddened by something. Edward guesses it�s because of her father hanging between life and death. She tells him that�s what is making her sad. She makes that her cover because she is jealous that Edward has Kate and Elizabeth in his life and won�t want to date her. She is sad because she can�t tell Edward how she feels for the moment. She will tell him at a later time when they get to know each other more. They get around back to the others back at the lake and Edward chases Annie into the water. She yells at him screaming, �The water is too cold!� and she grabs Edward by the arm and yanks him in. He goes under water and comes back up. He looks right at her and acts like he�s going to grab her and dunk her but instead says, �Yeah, it is on the chilly side, isn�t it?� Everyone is having a fun time. Everyone heads out to the buoys. No one can touch down to stay above the water and Edward goes out there and slips and falls. He can�t swim. He splashes and everyone thinks he is joking around. He comes up to the surface and screams for his life that someone save him. Annie swims out to him and pulls him in. He is lying there. He isn�t breathing. Annie has no choice but to perform CPR on him on the spot. Edward has a vision of a white ghost. The ghost looks familiar and it tells Edward to not worry about upcoming events. It was destiny that this ghost died. It tells him to be strong and to take care of all his friends. It pulls off its hood and Edward gasps lying in the sand. He is breathing again. His eyes are closed and Annie tells Edward to rest. He tells her to lean closer and he kisses her. With his eyes still closed he says, �I missed you Elizabeth.� Annie is confused, as he is not talking to her. He opens his eyes and sits up. He asks what he just said. He was still out of reality and doesn�t know what just happened past his drowning. Annie clues him in and he is upset that he did that to her. Clouds are moving in over the area and it looks like it�s going to storm. The group packs up and heads to the limo when it starts to rain. Episode Twenty-Two*************************************************** Chapter I Back in the limo rain patters on the roof and windows. Edward tells what had happened to him after his drowning, �I was unconscious and had a dream or vision of some kind. There was a ghostly figure and I. It spoke to me saying not to worry about future events and that it was destiny whatever were to happen. Whatever happens I have to be strong and take care of all my friends. I thought I saw its face when it pulled of its hood but I don�t remember what it looked like. I remember waking up and you telling me I said something.� He looks at Annie. She tells him that he called her Elizabeth and kissed her. Annie has never seen Elizabeth and wonders if the kiss was meant for Elizabeth as Edward thought he was dying. Edward swears that he didn�t mean to kiss her and apologizes for doing so. She tells him he shouldn�t be sorry because he didn�t know what he was doing. Everyone else in the limo are puzzled and look at Edward and ask him what this �ghost� looked like. He tells them that this ghost reminded him of someone still living and was tall about the height of himself. Victoria gasps and says, �Thomas!� At the same moment Edward gasps and says, �Elizabeth!� Kate looks at Edward and questions, �Well, which one is it?� Chapter II Edward looks at Kate and says he doesn�t know. He wishes he could remember but he can�t. Kate nags him a little more and Edward looses it. �I don�t know alright. I can�t help it I can�t remember who the ghost was. It�s not like this means something,� he says. Everyone in the limo is silent. The limo is riding into town now and Annie asks if Edward could have her dropped off at his place to change and then be taken to the hospital to get with her mother and father, who remains in the hospital. Edward shakes his head and worries about whom the ghost was and wonders if his vision means anything. Everyone goes inside Edward�s house once they arrive there. It is around 5:30 and he tells everyone not to go home just yet because the storm is really picking up outside. Later the weather calms down and Edward looks outside. He looks up in the clouds and sees a face. He is shocked. He realizes who it is. The ghost and the face in the clouds are the same. He jumps back from the window and knocks over a chair. He is terrified. He tells everyone there what he just saw and that he knows who is going to die soon. Just then the telephone rings and Edward answers it. He puts the receiver down on his shoulder and says calmly, �Annie, it�s for you.� It is Annie�s mother, Vivian, on the other line and tells Annie to go to the hospital as soon as she can. Edward tells everyone to get into the limo and goes to the hospital. Edward doesn�t say a word to anyone about his vision now. All will be revealed soon enough. Chapter III Upon arriving at the hospital he tells Annie he needs to talk to her. She stops and everyone else is waiting by the elevator. He tells Annie that he saw a middle-aged man�s face and that the only middle-aged man he knows that is battling to stay alive is her father! She doesn�t believe that her father is going to die. �It can�t be. You don�t know what you are talking about. I love him and he can�t be taken away from me! You hear me, he can�t!� she screams. The elevator opens up and everyone is getting on. Annie pushes everyone aside so she can get on first. The elevator goes up and she says it should go faster. The doors open up and she goes running down the hall. She stops at the doorway. Everyone else stands near the elevator. Kate tells everyone she is going to go see Thomas. Everyone else except Edward goes. Annie is standing in the doorway to her father�s room. She puts her hand on her mouth and looks back at Edward. Vivian comes out of the doorway and hugs her daughter and takes her into the room. Edward is left all alone in the hallway. He turns around and goes down the elevator and stands outside. It starts to rain again. Edward just stands there. He looks up toward Annie�s father�s room. He sees a rainbow reaching across the sky and stopping right above the room. Vivian is seen at the window and she sees Edward then closes the blinds.
