These are scene clips of Lucky and Liz with the song "No Ordinary Love" by Sheena Easton playing.............
(Liz and Lucky holding hands walking along the beach, Liz and Lucky embracing and kissing under the stars at the beach, Liz and Lucky studying together, looking at each other and smiling from time to time, Liz and Lucky meeting at the box car, Liz and Lucky having a picnic, Liz and Lucky at the park with Foster---Foster licking Liz's face---Lucky laughing, Lucky and Liz smiling at each other in class when the teacher's not noticing, Liz resting her head on Lucky's shoulder with Lucky's arm around her on the bench at the docks, talking, Lucky knocking on Liz's window, Lucky at Liz's door---she is about to close the door---Lucky pulling her out and kiss her, Lucky in his bed smiling, Liz in her bed smiling............)
I don't think I've ever felt like this
I don't think I've ever known so much happiness
I never had one touch change so much, and oh what a feeling
This time, I am sure the that heaven must have sent you from above
'Cause I get butterflies when you whisper sweet love
No other heart will do, oh it's only you
You take my breath away, every time you hold me, I want to say I love you
My cup is to the top, and emotions overflowing
Baby this ain't no ordinary love, this ain't no ordinary love
My love, you've given new meaning to romance
And my world would never be the same again,
No more tears in the rain
No more hidden inhibitions
It's a brand new day and it's filled with your magic
We both know that it's real and what we feel inside
No mountain's too high to climb, no river can divide
After all is said and done you're the one, I am already gone
I know nothing is guaranteed, but I 'will take my chances
There's no need to worry, this is not ordinary love
I love you, baby
Baby this ain't no ordinary love
No ordinary love, ain't no, ain't no, no ordinary love
No it;s only you, no other heart will do
It's only you, no other heart will do
It's special, special, it's gonna be special, special.......
In front of the box car...........
(Liz's waiting for Lucky, she is sitting by the box car smiling to herself.......)
Nolan: You really shouldn't be out here by yourself. ( He is leaning against a tree )
Liz: ( Jumps, turns, and sees Nolan ) Oh, God! You scared me! ( calms down) I won't be alone too long, Lucky's coming in a minute. What are you doing here?
Nolan: (grins ) You are starting to sound like Lucky.
Liz: Look, you better leave for your own sake, Lucky wouldn't like it if he sees you here. He's gonna think that you are following me everywhere or something.
Nolan: ( Grins ) And what if I am following you around?
Liz: ( eyes get big ) You are not!! ( backs off a bit ) I know I look like your Sabrina, but I am not her, I hope you are not really following me around....
Nolan: ( laughs ) God, you are so easy! Don't worry, I have much better things to do then following a scrawny teenager around, I just happen to like this spot....( grins) I guess you could say that fate brought us together.
Liz: And fate is telling you to leave now if you are smart.
Nolan: Well, I think I can just keep your company till your little sweetheart gets here. ( Sits down) So, school's out isn't it?
Liz: ( moves away from Nolan ) I am not good at making small talks with strangers, I would really rather for you to leave.
Nolan: And leave you alone here? That's not the way to treat a lady. ( Looks at Liz, realizes that she is very uncomfortable) Are you afraid of me?
Liz: ( her face pales, she gets up ) I think I am going to go find Lucky.....
Nolan: ( grabs Liz's hand ) Wait.......
Liz: ( starts to panic ) Please....don't....
Nolan: ( loosens his grip a little, stares at Liz) Why are you so afraid of me....... (sees tears in Liz's eyes, he lets go of her hand) hey, calm down, OK? I am not going to hurt you......I am sorry if I scared you........
Liz: ( calms down some, fights away the tears ) It's all right....I am just a little jumpy....
Nolan: ( stares at Liz) Someone hurt you before.....( jumps up ) Is it Lucky? Is he hurting you?
Liz: ( shakes her head, looks at Nolan as if he is crazy ) NO! Lucky would never hurt me. He has been the only one I can count on through all of......( stops abruptly)
Nolan: Through all of what? What happened to you to make you this jumpy?
Liz: I don't think it's any of your business.
Nolan: ( watches Liz for a moment ) You are right, it's none of my business. But I want to know why Lucky let you come out here all by yourself if he knows.....
Lucky: I will never do that again now that I know you are following her around. ( chilling look towards Nolan )
Liz: Lucky! ( goes over to Lucky )
Lucky: ( puts his arms around Liz ) I am sorry I am late......( turns to look at Nolan) How many times does this make? I think your warnings have just ran out.
Nolan: I think you better concentrate on her than worrying about me. I am not the one leaving her alone knowing she doesn't like it.
Liz: ( before Lucky could say anything ) You have no right to say that to him. I am a big girl, I don't need him with me 24 hours a day.
Nolan: Well, that's not the impression I got earlier.
Lucky: What impression? ( turns to Liz) Did he try anything on you? ( Turns to Nolan) What did you do?
Liz: Lucky, he didn't try anything on me, he was just....trying to keep me company till you get here.
Nolan: And I guess that's my cue to exit. ( starts to leave, stops, looks at Lucky) I hope you won't leave her out here by herself again. ( leaves )
Lucky: ( starts to go after Nolan ) You....
Liz: ( Pulls on Lucky's sleeve ) Lucky, let him go, he didn't do anything. I was....I was a little jumpy.
Lucky: ( turns to Liz, embraces her ) I am sorry.....I had to watch Lulu a little longer than I thought.....( Lifts Liz's face up) Are you all right?
Liz: I am all right. I think he was just trying to be nice...like he said, keeping me company till you get here, I was just......
Lucky: Trying to be nice!! The hell he is! He is following you around! How else would he be popping up everywhere you are!! And why are you protecting him?
Liz: ( a little hurt ) I am not protecting him! He was trying to be nice....and we don't know that he is following me, it could just be a coincidence....
Lucky: Elizabeth, this was no coincidence. What would he be doing hanging around here if he was not following you?
Liz: I don't know....Lucky, are we going to fight over this? He is not worth fighting over...
Lucky: ( sighs ) No, we are not, I am sorry, it's just ..... I am sorry I was so late.....but please don't try to tell me that he was trying to be nice.....there is no question that he is following you because you look like his girlfriend!
Liz: ( sighs ) Lucky, I can't help feeling sorry for him.....I think, maybe he just wants to be friends....maybe he thinks it would ease his pain.....
Lucky: Elizabeth, you are not seriously thinking about being friends with him, are you?
Liz: I don't know....maybe we can both be friends with him.....
Lucky: Are you out of your mind? He's practically stalking you!
Liz: Even if he is following me around, I don't think he would do anything to hurt me. He was about to go beat you up when he thought that you were the one that hurt me.......( looks at Lucky) let's not talk about him any more.....I missed you.....( Kisses Lucky )
Lucky: ( kisses Liz back ) Oh, tell me about it! I thought mom would never get home!
( They kiss, get out the picnic together, talk, laugh, enjoy being in each other's arms)
Later at the Spencer house.......
(Lucky in his room, looks up the ceiling pondering, someone knocks on the door, Laura comes in )
Laura: ( smiles ) Good night, honey....( looks at Lucky ) Is there something wrong?
Lucky: Um....no....( waits a beat, sits up) actually, yeah....can I ask you something?
Laura: ( comes in the door ) Of course. What is bothering you? Is it Elizabeth? Did you guys have a fight?
Lucky: No, no, nothing like that.....it's just....Elizabeth is to soft-hearted....I am worried that she will get hurt.....See, there's this guy, Nolan O'Conner. is his name. He has been following Liz around because he seems to think that Elizabeth looks like his girlfriend who died in a motorcycle accident....I am worrying about her, and today she actually said that maybe we should both be friends with this guy....to help him ease his pain.....I just don't think it's a good idea....
Laura: I see.... ( thinks for a second) Lucky, if she really wants to befriend this Nolan guy, I don't think you can stop her....even if you can, you probably shouldn't anyway. She does have a soft heart.....and it is very easy to feel sorry for someone that is in pain over a loss like that.....I don't know what I can tell you that would help except that you have to remember that you need to let her make her own decisions. And be there for her. ( puts her hand on Lucky's) Trust her. Trust her choice. If she thinks this guy is OK to be friends with, she has her reasons...after all, she does have very good taste in the company she keeps... don't you think? ( smiles at Lucky)
Lucky: ( smiles ) I guess so....Thanks, mom.
Laura:( smiles ) No problem... ( gets up ) Good night....don't worry, it'll be all right. (leaves)
Lucky: Good night.....( lays back down with his arms behind him) Trust her choice.....I suppose that's what I should do.....
AT the Hardy house.............
(Liz walks out the front door to look up at the sky, takes in a deep breath, she walks toward the bush, hears a sound, jumps...)
Liz: ( a little unsure ) Kitty? Is that you?
( Someone gets up from the ground, turns to face Liz, close up of his face shows tears half-dried, it's Nolan, he sees Liz, stares at her, walks over, holds her in his arms, Liz does not know what to do, she freezes.........)
TO BE CONTINUED........................
