Chapter 17 Sonny: What about Brenda? Robin: I heard what you said about her. What has happened that could change everything, Sonny? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AT GH Katherine: If you love me… She lowers her voice to a whisper. Katherine: Then take me home tonight. Stefan backs away from their hug to look at her. As Katherine's voice gets higher. Katherine: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed it. Stefan: No really, it's quite all right. Move back into Wyndemere. That's where you belong. Pack your things tonight. Stefan walks away and a pleasant smile comes upon Katherine's face. Katherine: YES! You're playing right into my hands Stefan Cassadine. She walks away happily. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AT THE HARDYS' HOME There was a knock on the door, Liz calls ''I'll get it!'' and then she runs down the stairs and opens the door. Lucky is standing in the doorway. Lucky: Hey Liz. Liz: Hey Lucky. What are you doing here? Lucky: Well… I just wanted to see you. Liz: How nice of you… please come in. Lucky: I can't stay long, my mom is pregnant, she's about 5 months now. Got to keep watch of her. Liz: Wow, congrats on your new baby brother or sister. Lucky smiles at her and gives her a hug. He backs away and looks into Liz's eyes. He turns his head to kiss her, but then he pulls back. Lucky: I'd… better… go… See ya Liz. Liz looks down and then looks up again. She has a soft voice. Liz: See ya Lucky. Lucky leaves and Liz shuts the door slowly she sighs as she watches Lucky leave. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AT SONNY'S PENTHOUSE Sonny: Nothing at all, Robin. Nothing of anyone's concern, not even mine. Robin: If it's not of anyone's concern, then why would it change yours, Brenda's and Jax's life? Sonny: It's not yours… if nobody knows about it, nothing will change. Robin: But you want things to change, don't you, Sonny? Sonny: Meaning? Robin: You want to be with Brenda, right? Sonny: More than anything, but she doesn't want me. If that's what makes her happy, I should leave her alone. Robin: Sonny, you are one of the most bravest people I know. You gave up Brenda just to make her happy. That takes a lot of strength, I admire you for that. Sonny: Thanks, sweetheart. Gimme a hug. Robin and Sonny hug. Sonny: It's not going to be easy, but I'm gonna do it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AT J&B’s PENTHOUSE Brenda sits down on the couch and sees the mail on the table, she picks up a letter addressed to her. The return address was from Luke's. She opens it and takes out a huge card. It read: ''A BIG SURPRISE PARTY AT LUKE'S! IT'S NOT ANYONE'S BIRTHDAY,RIGHT? SO, WHAT IS IT FOR? IT'S A SURPRISE! BE THERE! AT LUKE'S TONIGHT AT 7 SHARP, BE THERE!'' Brenda smiles as Jax walks in. Jax: Hey… what's that? Brenda: An invitation. Jax: Oh? To what? Brenda: To a surprise party at Luke's. Not for anyone though, it's a surprise that he is giving us. Jax: I suppose other people are invited also. Brenda: Of course. I wonder what the surprise is. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AT SONNY'S PENTHOUSE Robin and Sonny are talking on the couch when there is a knock on the door. Sonny: What's up? Bodyguard at the door: Mail for you, boss. Sonny: Slip it under the door, please. When he sees the mail slip under the door, Sonny gets up and picks it up. He opens the first letter he sees and it's the invitation to Luke's. Sonny: Hmm… a party at Luke's tonight. Robin: I suppose I'm getting one too. Sonny: I remember Luke speaking of a party, he said he invited everyone from PC except the Cassadines. Robin: I'm going, are you? Brenda is probably going to be there. Can you handle it? Sonny: Oh yeah, I can handle it. I'm going, Brenda or not.
