Sitting at a table at the Outback is Alexis, Mackenzie, Kimberly and Claire.
Kimberly: �Okay, we have a lot to do before tonight.�
Claire: (sipping a margurita) �What else is left, Kim? We�ve decorated, chosen music and hired a caterer. There is nothing else to do!�
Alexis: (sipping a club soda) �I agree with Claire.�
Kimberly: �Hello! Alexis, where is your brain? We still have to take care of the surprise for the guys.�
Mackenzie: �What surprise? You never told me anything about a surprise!�
Kimberly: (pulling out her cell phone and dialing a number) �Hello, this is... Scott Baldwin�s secretary... Alisa Sawyer... yes, I understand that Mr. Baldwin has hired a stripper to come to Luke�s Club for a bachelor party tonight... well, there has been a slight change of plans... yes, we need to change that to a male stripper.�
Mackenzie�s mouth drops open and Alexis clamps a hand over her sister�s mouth as she starts laughing. Claire looks shocked.
Kimberly: �Actually, it�s a party for a female... do you have any strippers available tonight... yeah... his name is Sven? Yeah, that�s fine. Yeah, I�ll hold.� She turns to her friends and grins victoriously.
Claire: �Kim, you are so bad!�
Kimberly: (laughing) �I know.� Turning back to her phone call. �Nine o�clock... you know the location... okay, thank you.� She turns her phone off and picks up her martini. �Mission accomplished.�
Mackenzie, Alexis and Claire begin applauding. Kimberly raises her glass.
Kimberly: �To the utter demise of our men�s silicone dreams.�
The other three women raise their glasses, laughing, and they clink them together.
Meanwhile. Luke�s Club.
Ned, Scott and Stefan sit at the bar, drinking vodka and laughing.
Ned: �So, the way I see it is that the women DID hire a stripper.�
Scott: �You�re right.�
Stefan: �What do you mean, he�s right? They promised that they wouldn�t!�
Ned: �Ah, my innocent brother-in-law. You have no clue just how bad our wives really are. They hired a stripper. I know it.�
Stefan: �Are you sure?�
Ned: �Of course I am. Who knows Alexis better than I do?�
Stefan: (laughing) �Than I guess that we need to do something about this.�
Scott: (patting him on the back) �That�s the spirit!� he turns to Ned. �Any ideas?�
Ned: �Well, we could just cancel the stripper.�
Stefan: �Wait a minute. The girls want a stripper. They never said who they wanted to be doing the stripping!�
Scott: �What do you mean?�
Stefan: �You two could be their strippers.�
Ned: �I like that... but you would have to too.�
Stefan: �Wrong. Cassadines don�t strip.�
Ned: �Well, your sister sure does.�
Stefan: �Alexis doesn�t count. I meant male Cassadines.�
Ned: �You�re right. You don�t strip. You simply take your wife into sound and lighting rooms and have sex with her and accidentally turn the speakers on so everyone can hear.�
Stefan blushes. Ned and Scott high five each other.
Stefan: �Fine. I�ll do it.� He frowns. �As long as we don�t have to remove all of our clothes.�
Scott: �We weren�t even considering it.�
Stefan: (raising his glass) �Than, by all means, to our stripping careers.�
Ned and Scott raise their glasses and clink them together.
Ned: �I�m so proud of you, Stefan.�
Stefan: �Meaning?�
Ned: �I knew that you would eventually act like a normal human being if we rubbed off on you long enough.�
Stefan: �I know.� He mock sighs. �I miss the old days.�
Scott: �Sure you do.� He takes another sip. �When you used to play hide the wombat in the secret passageways with the maids.�
Stefan: (indigenously) �I never did that.� He smirks. �It was all Stavros. I preferred to spend my time harassing Alexis.�
All three of them start laughing.
Stefan: (smirking) �You know, she reacted pretty poorly to a frog in her bed.�
Ned practically chokes on his vodka. Scott and Stefan give each other a high five.
That evening. Ned and Alexis� bedroom.
Alexis is running around getting dressed. Ned is sitting on the bed, watching her.
Alexis: �How does this look?�
Ned looks at his wife�s very short sleeveless ice blue linen dress with a matching jacket.
Ned: �You look ravishing.� He smiles. �But isn�t that a little short, Mrs. Ashton?�
Alexis: �What, are you jealous?�
Ned: �Not at all.� He grins �Why would I be? It�s not like there�s going to be men there, right?�
Alexis: (sweetly) �Of course not.�
Ned: �How do I look?� he spins around, showing off black slacks and a slate blue button down shirt. �I don�t want to look like an old guy.�
Alexis: �A, you�re not old. B, you look great and C, why does it matter? It�s not like there�s going to be any girls there, other than the waitresses, right?�
Ned: (smiling sweetly) �Of course not, Sweetie. We promised you guys.�
Alexis: (setting her hairbrush down) �I love you, Ned. Try to not get too smashed tonight. I don�t want to spend tomorrow nursing you back to health from your hangover.�
Ned: (putting his arms around her) �I�ll try to be a good boy.�
Alexis: �Yeah, you�ll try... until Scott and Jax talk you into doing something stupid.�
Ned: �Hey, don�t leave Stefan out of this little equation! He�s getting to be just as bad as the rest of us, Lex.�
Alexis: (sighing) �Mikkos would be turning in his grave if he knew how Stefan and I turned out... married to Quartermaines, living in, gasp, New York.� She laughs.
Ned: (pulling her closer) �So, who�s coming to your party?�
Alexis: �The usual group- me, Kimberly, Mackenzie, Julia, Bobbie, Monica, Claire, Laura, Emily, Felicia, a few of Julia�s friends from London. You?�
Ned: �Me, Jax, Stefan, Scott, Gregory, Luke, Mac, Jerry, Nikolas and maybe some of Jax�s other friends.� He smiles. �It�s going to be fun. I�m picking Jax up.�
Alexis: (looking at her watch) �I�d better get going. I�m picking Kimberly and Claire up.� She smiles. �I told them that I was on prescription drugs that prevent me from drinking alcohol, so they begged me to drive their intoxicated little selves around.�
Ned: (kissing her gently) �Have fun tonight and be careful, Sweetie.�
Alexis: (kissing him back) �You too, Baby. I love you.�
Ned: �I love you too.� He smiles and gives her a gentle push towards the door.
Ten minutes later, Alexis pulls into the driveway of the firehouse. She honks the horn.
Claire comes out first and gets into the front seat with Alexis. She is wearing a jade green sleeveless dress with a matching scarf.
Alexis: �You look amazing.� She smiles. �Where�s Kim?�
Claire: �Getting a �there had better be no strippers there tonight� lecture from Scott.� She smiles. �You look nice too.�
Alexis: �Claire, there�s something I wanted to tell you.�
Claire: �Go ahead.�
Alexis: �I just wanted to say that.... uh... I know that we got off to kind of a shaky start, but I�d like it if we could be friends.�
Claire: (smiling sincerely) �I�d like that a lot, Alexis. Or can I call you Lex?�
Alexis: (laughing) �Sure you can.�
Claire: �Well, Lex, to tell you the truth, I was a little jealous of you when I first got here. You have a perfect husband and three perfect children, and I...�
Alexis: �You miss your daughter, don�t you?�
Claire: (softly) �Lily is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You can�t even imagine how it feels to be separated from your child every day for years on end.�
Alexis: �I don�t, and I�m truly sorry that you�re away from her, Claire. Where is she?�
Claire: �My ex-husband, Andrew, who has full custody of Lily, stuck her in a boarding school in France.� She sneers. �That is no place for a ten year old.�
Alexis: �Well, if anyone can get her back for you, it will be Kimberly.�
Kimberly: (opening the car door) �What will be Kimberly?�
Alexis: (as she slides in) �We were talking about you helping Claire get Lily back.�
Kimberly: �Oh yeah. Claire, we�re going to have to get going on that next week.� She frowns. �Wait a minute, why are you sitting in the front?�
Claire: (laughing) �Because I got here first.�
Kimberly: (sighing) �I hate the backseat. Alexis?�
Alexis: �I�m going to have to agree with Claire on this. Sorry, Kim.�
Kimberly: �Fine. But on the way home, she has to ride in the trunk.�
All three of them start laughing as Alexis backs out of the driveway and they head downtown to the Outback.
A half hour later.
By the time Ned and Jax arrive at Luke�s, the rest of the group has already arrived.
Nikolas and Gregory are chatting, Scott and Stefan are laughing together, and the rest of the men are milling around.
They all begin to applaud and cheer when they see Jax come in with Ned.
Jerry: (hugging him) �Well, my little brother the groom is here! Let the fun begin!�
Luke: �Someone get these men a drink!�
Waitress: �What would you like, sir?�
Jax: �I�ll have a vodka on the rocks.�
Ned: �I�ll have the same.�
Scott and Stefan go over and put a quarter in the jukebox. Rod Stewart�s �Forever Young� blasts out.
Gregory: �So, Jax, you ready to put your bachelor days behind you?�
Jax: (laughing) �It seems that I don�t have a choice.�
Ned: �It�s not THAT bad.�
Stefan: (snickering) �You would know, having been married five times.�
Ned: �Like your wives were any better, Mackenzie excluded.�
Stefan: �There was nothing wrong with Bobbie, and you were married to Katherine too, buddy old pal!�
Ned: �Details, details.� He laughs. �Besides, Mac was in love with her too.�
Mac: �Ned, I try to not dwell on the bad memories.� He takes a long drink of beer.
They all start laughing.
Meanwhile, across town at the Outback.
Alexis, Kimberly, Claire, Julia and Mackenzie are standing together. Mackenzie, Claire and Kimberly are drinking wine. Alexis and Julia are drinking club soda.
Mackenzie: �Just think, Julia. In two days, you�ll be just another married woman like us.�
Kimberly: �Yeah. All we have to do is get Claire married now.�
Claire: �I�m thinking, um, no.�
Alexis: �I never thought I�d get married. But Ned just swept me off my feet.�
Julia: �He has a tendency to do that.� She smiles.
Kimberly: �I wonder how long it will take until the guys storm over here and kill us.�
Julia: �What are you talking about?�
Claire: �Nothing.�
Alexis: (at the same time) �Nothing.�
Kimberly: (at the same time) �Nothing.�
Mackenzie: (at the same time) �Nothing.�
Julia: (smirking) �Yeah, I really believe that.� She grins. �Now, if you�ll excuse me, I�m going to go talk to the guests who actually tell me things.�
She sashays away and her friends start laughing hysterically.
Across the room at a small table.
Bobbie: �Mon, are you going to marry him?�
Monica: (sipping a martini) �Who? Greg? I don�t know. But I know that I love him.�
Bobbie: �What about Alan?�
Monica: �What about him? He chose to be a drug addict.�
Bobbie: (taking her hands) �Monica, no matter what, I�m here for you.�
Monica: �Thank you, Bobbie. I don�t deserve you as a best friend.�
Bobbie: (laughing) �I know you don�t, but I stick around anyway.�
They start laughing and take long drinks of their martinis.
An hour later. Luke�s Club.
All of the men are drunk, or getting there, by now, except Nikolas.
Scott: (sitting at the bar) �You know what�s good about being married?�
Ned: �Other than having your laundry being done for you?�
They start laughing as Stefan shakes his head.
Stefan: �Nope, because my wife doesn�t do my laundry, and I�m still happy.�
Just then, there is a knock at the club door. Ned, Scott and Stefan start laughing.
Jax: �Who else is coming?�
Luke: (sensing what�s going on) �It�s entertainment time, boys!� he calls towards the door. �Come on in!�
The door flies open as Luke turns the stereo on to stripping music.
At that moment, a huge blond man comes through the door, tearing his clothes off until he is down to just a little purple speedo and a bow-tie.
Jax�s mouth drops open. Stefan looks mortified. Ned and Scott are in total shock.
Jax: (mad) �You ordered me a MALE stripper? You three are pathetic!�
Scott: (laughing) �We did not! Someone messed up!�
Luke: (stopping the music) �Hey, you! Put your clothes back on!�
The stripper looks around the room and notices that it is all men there.
Stripper: �My name is Sven, and you are men!�
Gregory: �What are you doing here?�
Sven: �I was hired by someone named... Alisa Sawyer... the secretary for Baldwin... someone named Baldwin.�
Scott: (his mouth dropping open) �KIMBERLY!�
Ned: (at the same time) �ALEXIS!�
Stefan: (at the same time) �MACKENZIE!�
Jax, Nikolas, Mac, Gregory and Jerry start laughing hysterically. Ned, Scott and Stefan are totally mortified.
Jerry: (chortling) �Let me get this straight. Your WIVES upstaged you?�
Mac: �That�s too bad! Way too bad!�
Nikolas: �Oh wow! Alexis, Mackenzie and Kimberly are REALLY BAD!�
Sven: �So, you do not want me to take my clothes off?�
Scott: �NO! You can leave now, by the way!�
Sven: �What about my money? I work on commission... the kind that is stuffed into my g-string, you know?�
Jerry: �I�ll give you five bucks if you leave right now.�
Sven: �Okay.�
Jerry hands him five dollars and he leaves quickly, picking up his clothes as he goes.
Jax: �Now I�m disappointed! I was looking forward to a stripper!�
Stefan: �Don�t get mad, Jax.� He grins. �Get even.�
Jax: �Meaning?�
Scott: �Everyone, what do you think of getting the women back for this?�
Everyone: �Yeah! Good idea!�
Ned: �Everyone, we�re headed for the Outback. Let�s go.�
Jax: �Ned, what�s going on here or do I not want to know?�
Ned: �You don�t want to know, but I�ll tell you on the way over.�
Fifteen minutes later.
Mac: (opening the employee back entrance of the Outback) �Now what�s my story?�
Gregory: �You left Jax�s present here.�
Mac: �Okay. Got it. I�ll cue up the stereo and you guys get ready.�
Scott: �Good luck.�
Mac smiles and heads into the main room, where Julia is opening boxes of flimsy lingerie and gorgeous pajamas.
Felicia: (seeing her husband) �Mac! What are you doing here! This is a girls only party!�
Mac: (trying to not laugh) �Well, I forgot Jax�s present. It�s in the back room.�
Kimberly: (sweetly) �How is your party going?�
Mac: �Well, I believe that we were supposed to have a stripper, but someone canceled it and sent a MALE stripper in her place.� He looks over at Alexis, Kimberly, Claire and Mackenzie. They all look away. �But we�re having fun anyway.�
Julia: �You were going to have a stripper! That�s just wrong!�
Mac: (waving his hand at her) �Yeah, yeah. I don�t want to hear it. I�m just here to pick up a present and get back to Luke�s.�
He heads over to the bar as the women turn back to Julia.
Mac waits until he is sure that they aren�t watching, and then he hits play on the stereo system. The opening bars of �I�m too Sexy� blast out.
All of the women look up in surprise.
Mackenzie: �What�s going on here?�
Mac doesn�t say anything. He just leans back against the bar.
Julia, Alexis, Mackenzie and Kimberly look shocked as Ned, Stefan, Jax and Scott come out, dressed in oversize black suits and black fedoras. They stop in front of the bar, facing the women.
The rest of the men come trailing in behind them and sit down at the tables, laughing. Mac stops the music for a moment.
Kimberly: �What the hell is this?�
Jerry: (laughing) �I believe that you requested a stripper, correct?�
Claire: �But...�
Jerry: �No buts. Enjoy yourselves, ladies.�
Mac restarts the music and the four men begin to dance around, slowly removing their jackets and dropping them on the ground.
Kimberly: (in a low voice) �You have got to be kidding me.�
They take off their hats and throw them to their wives. Alexis laughs as she catches Ned�s. Mackenzie looks shocked as she catches Stefan�s.
Jax: (singing with the music) �I�m too sexy for Ju-li-a, too sexy for Julia!�
Julia blushes a deep shade of red as Jax begins unbuttoning his white shirt.
Ned: �I�m too sexy for A-lex-is, too sexy for Alexis!�
Alexis is speechless as Ned tosses his shirt to the ground and sways around.
Stefan: �I�m too sexy for Ma-ken-zie, too sexy for Mackenzie!�
Mackenzie is totally shocked as Stefan undoes his belt and tosses it in the air.
Scott: �I�m too sexy for Kim-ber-ly, too sexy for Kimberly!�
In unison, all four men unzip their pants and step out of them, revealing skin-tight speedos. Ned�s is blue, Jax�s is green, Scott�s is red and Stefan�s is black.
All of the women start hooting and applauding.
Ned dances over to Alexis and runs his finger over her face. Her mouth drops open.
Stefan blows Mackenzie a kiss. She blushes a deep shade of red.
Bobbie, Monica, Laura, Claire and Felicia start throwing money at the men.
Scott comes over to Kimberly and runs his index finger over her lip. She smiles.
Picking up some of the money and tucking it into the leg of his speedo, Jax dances over to Julia and sits down on her lap, posing seductively. She starts laughing.
Alexis gets up and goes over to Ned. She looks him in the eye, licks her lips seductively, and stuffs two twenties into his waistband.
Laughing, Julia slides a few bills into Jax�s speedo. He grins broadly.
Kimberly motions for Scott to come over to her. She slips two tens into his speedo.
Mackenzie goes over to Stefan and slides a few bills into his speedo. She looks amused.
As the song ends, all four men bow. The women, as well as the other men, give them a standing ovation.
Julia: (laughing so hard that she�s crying) �Well, that was quite a show!�
Ned grins at Alexis, who is also laughing and crying at the same time.
Mackenzie: �I take it that you guys canceled our stripper?�
Stefan: (retorting) �I take it that you were the ones who sent Sven to strip for us?�
No one says anything. Mackenzie just grins a little.
Kimberly: �How about turning this into a co-ed party?� the women nod enthusiastically.
Julia: (to the men) �After what you just did, you�re all invited to stay.�
Jax: �Cool! We�re going to go change in the bathroom, okay?�
Mackenzie: (as they walk away) �Or you could just stay in that!�
All of the women start laughing and nodding in agreement.
When the guys return, Mac cranks the music up and he and Felicia begin pouring drinks.
Ned: (walking behind Alexis and putting his arms around her waist) �Hello, sexy Lexi.�
Alexis: (leaning against him) �You were pretty good, Mr. Ashton. I really liked you in that speedo. Will you wear it for me later?�
Ned: (whispering in her ear) �If you�re lucky, I�ll be wearing less than that.�
Alexis moans as he discreetly sucks on her earlobe. She can feel him becoming aroused.
Ned: �What do you say, we take this somewhere private?�
Alexis: (laughing) �What do you say, we wait until we get home?�
Ned: (pouting) �Alexis!�
Alexis: (rubbing against him) �It�ll be worth the wait. I promise.� She smiles. �And I�m glad to see that you�re not drunk.�
Ned: (sighing in defeat) �Yet. I think I�ll go get a drink. You want another club soda?�
Alexis: �Not right now, thanks. I�ve had about nine.�
Ned: �I see that you�ve removed your suit jacket and now you look like a sex goddess.�
Alexis: (turning around and kissing him) �It�s all for you, Baby.�
An hour later.
Alexis and Julia are sitting at a table, sipping club sodas. Their husbands are laughing together on the other side of the room, drinking tequila shots.
Alexis: (sighing) �Ooh goody. I get to wake up next to Mr. Hangover in the morning.�
Julia: (laughing) �You�re not the only one.� She smiles. �But I say, let them have fun.�
They watch as Ned, Luke, Jax and Gregory all gulp down their shots and start laughing.
Across the room, Emily and Nikolas are sipping their beverages and laughing.
Alexis: (sighing again) �Are any of them going to be up in time for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night?�
Julia: �I�m sure that they�ll be semi-awake.�
Alexis: �And you guys finished all of the last minute arrangements with Chez Plaisance and the church?�
Julia: �Yeah. We finished today.�
Alexis: �Avery and Brooke are so excited about being flower girls. They keep practicing with two boxes of kleenex that Ned gave them.�
Julia: �I can�t wait until the twins are born.� She smiles.
Alexis: �Yeah, they�re sure cute when they�re little... and then they start walking, talking and driving you crazy.� She laughs.
Julia: (leaning in towards her) �I know why you�re drinking club soda and not wine.�
Alexis: �I�m on these pills...�
Julia: (hissing) �Save it. I�m your best friend. Don�t lie to me. I know you�re pregnant.�
Alexis: (flustered) �I am not... Julia...�
Julia gives Alexis a look that causes her to blush bright red.
Julia: �I thought so.� she smiles. �Don�t worry. I won�t say anything.�
Alexis: �Thank you.� She smiles. �Ned and I haven�t told anyone.�
Julia: �Congratulations! Your baby can play with the twins! They�ll be close in age!�
Alexis: (whispering) �We think it�s a boy... Christian Nathaniel.�
Julia: �Ooh, I like that.�
Just then, they notice something that makes them stop talking.
Standing on top of the bar is Ned and Jax. They�re holding empty wine glasses as microphones. A new song blasts out of the stereo. They begin to dance.
Ned: (drunk) �Come out, Virginia, don�t make me wait, you Catholic girls start much too late... ah, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate, I might as well be the one...�
Jax: (equally drunk) �Well they showed you a statue, told you to pray, built you a temple and locked you away... but they never told you the price that you�d pay for things that you might have done...�
Both: (crooning) �Only the good die young! That�s what I said, only the good die young! Only the good die young!�
Alexis and Julia look at each other and roll their eyes.
Ned: �You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd, we ain�t too pretty, we ain�t too proud, we might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one...�
Jax: �So come on Virginia, show me a sign. Send up a signal, I�ll throw you the line. The
stained glass curtain you�re hiding behind, it never lets in the sun...�
Both: �Darling, only the good die young. I�ll tell you, only the good die young.�
Ned: �You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation. You got a brand new soul, and a cross of gold.�
Jax: �But Virginia, they didn�t give you quite enough information. You didn�t count on me, when you were counting on your rosary.�
Ned: �They say there�s a heaven for those who will wait. And some say it�s better, but I say it ain�t...�
Jax: �I�d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun...�
Both: �You know that only the good die young. I�ll tell you, only the good die young. Only the good die young.�
Ned: �Said your mother told me all that I could give you was a reputation. She never cared for me, but does she ever say a prayer for me?�
Jax: �Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don�t let me wait. The Catholic girls start much too late... but sooner or later, it comes down to fate, I might as well be the one...�
Both: �You know that only the good die young. I�ll tell you, baby, only the good die young. Only the good die young. Only the good die young...�
As they climb unsteadily off the bar, everyone applauds.
Ned: (loudly) �Alexis, when do we get to go home and have THE SEX?�
Alexis is mortified. Her friends start laughing.
Jax: (drunk) �Yeah, Julia? Why don�t we have sex too when we get home?�
Julia and Alexis both look ready to throttle their husbands, who are grinning at them.
Ned: (throwing his arm around Jax) �Let�s go get another drink, Aussie.�
Jax: �Good idea, Mr. CEO!� They walk off together, swaying slightly.
Alexis: (amused) �And just think, they used to hate each other.�
Two o�clock in the morning. The Ashtons� house.
Alexis leads Ned, who is half-asleep, up the stairs to their bedroom.
Ned: (drowsily) �Where�s my car? You didn�t have to drive me home!�
Alexis: �Nikolas and Emily are bringing it over soon. And don�t even start about me driving you home. Did you want to crash your precious car in a drunken stupor?�
They walk into their bedroom. Alexis turns the light on. Ned moans.
Alexis: �What�s wrong?�
Ned: �Tequila. That�s what�s wrong. How much did I drink?�
Alexis: �I lost count.� She hides a smile. �Do you remember singing with Jax?�
Ned: �I have a vague recollection.� He thinks hard. �I remember a bar... and tequila, and me, Jax, Greg and Luke having a contest... I think that Jax and I both won.�
Alexis: �I think that�s because Monica and Laura threatened to leave Greg and Luke if they drank anymore. However, Julia and I think that you and Jax will get your self-imposed revenge in the morning.� She laughs.
Ned: (slurring) �S�not funny.� He moans again. �Can we have sex now?�
Alexis: �You have got to be kidding me. You can barely see straight.�
Ned: �I can too! I can see that you have two arms, two legs, two bre...�
Alexis: (cutting him off) �How about you go to bed, Mr. Tequila?�
Ned: (gently stroking her breasts) �Please, Lexi?� he moves close to her and Alexis can feel his arousal pushing against her. �You promised me!�
Alexis: �Ned, I think that it�s time for us to both get some sleep. We can fool around in the morning, if you�re still alive.�
Ned: (sighing) �What the hell is so great about sleep?�
Alexis: �In case you have forgotten, which you probably have, the wedding rehearsal is tomorrow. You don�t want to have a hangover in church.�
Ned: �Fine. We�ll go to sleep.� He methodically removes his clothes and going over to the bed, passes out on it.
Alexis watches him in amusement and then starts laughing under her breath.
Alexis: (to herself) �I bet that he can�t even remember his own name in the morning.�
Laughing, she heads into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Ned never moves the entire night.
