Narrator: Birthday parties, they can either be one great night, or it’s just going to be one big disaster. Either way, in the future, you’ll just look back at this night with your therapist and laugh.
Drew: There we go! How does it look?
Sakura: It’s a little off on your side May!
May: I don’t think Misty’s going to mind if it’s a little lopsided.
Sakura: As long as it reads “Happy Birthday Misty”, I’ll be satisfied. Now remember you guys, no one is allowed upstairs. We are to all stay down here for the party.
Marisa: Got it!
Ash: Oh man, that cake is looking really good right about now!
Sakura: KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THAT CAKE! I worked my butt off baking that cake last night and no one is going to eat it until all the guests are here and having a fun time.
Brock: I’m actually looking forward to eating it. Just to see how the recipe turned out!
Sakura: Well I followed your directions and it looks okay on the outside.
Tracey: Doesn’t it seem weird that we’re throwing this party two weeks early?
Marisa: I know, but her birthday is on Valentine’s Day and you know how things can get on Valentines. Everyone has to do their own thing! But Sakura insisted that we should throw Misty a party. (Knock on the door)
Sakura: What the hell? She can’t be here yet!
Marisa: (Whispering) Ash, turn off the lights! (The lights go off and they open the door)
All: SURPRISE!
Harley: Oh you shouldn’t have!
Brock: False alarm. It’s just Harley. (The lights come on)
May: How did he get invited?
Marisa: He’s friends with Misty.
Harley: I’ve gotta come for one of my main chicas!
May: This is going to be a long night.
Drew: So Harley, where’s Tucker?
Harley: Can’t I go anywhere by myself every once and a while? We’re not joined at the freakin’ hip you know! I have my own life!
Marisa: I take it you two are fighting.
Harley: Insensitive boob! (Knock on the door)
Sakura: Here we go again! (The lights go off)
Marisa: (Whispering) Ready? (They open the door)
All: SURPRISE! (All groan)
Brock: It’s only Marcus!
Marisa: Get in here! Why weren’t you here with the rest of us decorating?
Marcus: Sorry, my mom just dropped me off. I had to get something for the girl of honor!
Brock: Really Marcus, you couldn’t have come to help us out! (Throat clears)
Marcus: I had some unfinished business to attend to!
Marisa: You’re a real enigma!
Misty: Um, hello.
All: Huh, Misty?
Misty: Um, surprise?
Sakura: So much for the surprise!
Misty: It would have worked if you had the door shut.
Marcus: Well let me be the first one to give you a gift! (Gives her a bouquet of roses)
Misty: Oh my God Marcus, they’re beautiful. Thank you so much. I really wasn’t expecting a surprise party or anything. I mean, my birthday isn’t until February 14th. It is still the end of January.
Sakura: I know it’s a little early, but we didn’t want to do it on Valentines.
Misty: That’s understandable.
Daisy: Ooh, a party! (Marisa growls)
Misty: Yes it is a party. Thank you for driving me over to Sakura’s house. You can leave now!
Daisy: Don’t get your underwear in a bunch Misty. I can’t turn down a party. I’m a college gal now and partying is a way of life.
Misty: (Sighs) You guys don’t mind if she stays, do you?
Brock: Mind? Of course not! You’re always welcome Daisy. My house is your house.
Sakura: This isn’t even your house, it’s mine.
Misty: Daisy, you remember everyone right?
Daisy: Of course! Let me see, Idiot, Pervert, Nark, the Nark’s whipping boy, Player boy, Pigtails, Big Gay Al, I’ve never met you before in my life, and…Tracey! (She walks over) I haven’t seen you in a while. You’re looking quite handsome!
Tracey: (Blushes) Ugh, hi Daisy. (Marisa growls)
Harley: Oh my God!
Sakura: What’s the matter Harley?
Harley: Look at this! Drew was trying to apply to some private school.
Drew: What the hell?
May: Is that true Drew?
Drew: Where did you get that Harley?
Harley: Never mind where I got it.
Drew: You thief! You were going through my backpack!
Harley: I thought it was Brock’s!
Brock: What were you trying to find in my backpack?
Marisa: You’re not talking about Pallet Academy, are you? They’ve got one hell of an art department.
Drew: I don’t really want to discuss this right now.
May: Well I do! You just want to leave our school, just like that? Jerk!
Drew: What the hell is your problem?
May: You have nerve!
Drew: It really isn’t a big deal.
May: (Growls) Never mind, let’s just go on with the God-damn party.
Drew: May, we would still see each other.
May: It just won’t be the same.
Sakura: Come on everybody don’t fight. I realize that this is an ugly situation. But can’t we just let it go for one night and celebrate Misty’s birthday?
May: I can’t believe you kept this from me! (Sakura sighs) I’m so upset right now, I can’t even see straight. I’m leaving.
Sakura: NOW WAIT ONE GOD DAMNED MINUTE! Nobody is going anywhere. We are going to have this party. I did not spend the last month and a half planning for this party to let a lot of stupid crap get in the way. Now everybody go and have some food. I MEAN RIGHT NOW!
All: Yes ma’am!
Ash: Come on Drew! Let’s go get something to eat! We don’t want Sakura’s food to go cold now. (Drew sighs)
Misty: Yeah and I’ll let you pick out some of the music.
May: Fine!
Brock: So Daisy, how is this fine night treating you? How are your lovely sisters? How about we take a step outside and talk?
Daisy: You look totally ripped from last year Tracey.
Tracey: You really think so?
Daisy: Would I lie to you?
Brock: What’s so special about Tracey? (Marisa walks by)
Marisa: I need a drink!
Daisy: Hey, I just got a tattoo! Do you want to see it?
Tracey: Um, sure.
Daisy: Cool. Let’s go into the bathroom where the light is better. (They leave the room)
Marisa: I should have known!
Marcus: What the hell is your problem? (Marisa glares at Marcus) Uh-oh! I wouldn’t worry about it. I mean so what if she’s built like a model? So what if she’s a college girl? So what if she has the ideal look of every guy’s fantasy? (Marisa growls) That’s not trying to say that you’re not the ideal look of every guy’s fantasy! Oh, I blew it!
Marisa: (Sighs) No, it’s my fault. I’ve been pussy-footing around him for the last two years. It’s because of my stupid shyness that he’s with that blonde whore!
Marcus: Little buddy! (A little later)
Sakura: So what did you think of the food?
May: Not bad. You’re a real good cook Sakura.
Misty: Almost as great as Brock.
Brock: Hey, I taught her don’t forget!
Drew: Hey May…
May: What the hell do you want Drew?
Drew: Come on May, why won’t you talk to me? (May scoffs) Look, I realize I should have said something to you. I’ve always wanted to go to this school ever since I was still in middle school. This school has everything I could possibly dream of.
May: ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF! (She slaps him)
Harley: Oh my God, you got bitch-slapped! (May slaps Harley) What the hell did I do?
Ash: Are you okay Drew?
Drew: Don’t worry about me. After Guys & Dolls, I’m quite used to May’s slap.
Sakura: Well, this isn’t turning out like I expected.
Misty: Hey, don’t worry about it Sakura. No one could have predicted all of this was going to happen if we got everybody together.
Sakura: I guess.
Misty: Besides, I’m having a fun time. (Knock on the door)
Sakura: Who can that be? I thought everybody was here. (She opens the door) Tucker, what are you doing here?
Tucker: I was invited and I came by to wish Misty a happy birthday.
Harley: What are you doing here, you whore?
Sakura: So much for having everyone getting together for a so called fun time.
Harley: You always find the perfect time to ruin a sweet occasion!
Tucker: Don’t talk to me about ruining sweet occasions Mr. Center of Attention!
Harley: And what about you?
Sakura: Please boys, don’t fight. (Harley and Tucker scoff) What is it with you people? CAN’T WE GET ALONG FOR A SIMPLE PARTY?
Marcus: I LOVE YOU MISTY!
All: Huh?
Misty: What did you say?
Marisa: What did he say?
Marcus: You heard what I said. For the past two years, I have fallen head over heals in love with you. I couldn’t wait any longer to tell you. (Misty blushes)
Misty: Marcus, I don’t know what to say to this. I...I...excuse me. (She runs into the bathroom)
Sakura: Well, I can say that I wasn’t expecting to hear that.
Marisa: Marcus, may I speak to you in private? (They go in a corner) Now what was that about?
Marcus: (Sighs) I’m actually surprised I spilled the beans! I just got caught up in the moment. But now everyone knows.
Marisa: I must say I never knew that you…felt that way about Misty.
Marcus: Sorry, I never told you about that.
Marisa: Don’t be. I know you’re not the type to tell people about the subject of love. Now of course I open up to you about anything.
Marcus: Yeah, you’re pretty much an open book. But you have to tell me, you’re one of Misty’s close friends. Do I have a chance?
Marisa: Well... (Thinking) I can’t tell him that she secretly likes Ash. She trusted me and Sakura with that secret. Plus, it would break Marcus’s heart and I can’t be the one to do that. (Aloud) I can’t give you an answer, only because I don’t know. (Outside of the bathroom)
Ash: Misty. (Knocks on the door) Are you okay?
Misty: GO AWAY!
Brock: Come on Misty! I have to take a piss! (The door opens) That’s better! (She throws a box of tissue)
Misty: Get lost! (She slams the door)
Ash: Okay Misty, we’ll leave you alone. Come on Brock. You can take a piss outside! (Inside the bathroom)
Misty: Marcus loves me? What do I do? (Outside the bathroom)
Sakura: Where are you going Brock?
Brock: I have to make a big phone call! I’ll be back in a minute or so.
Sakura: Fine. Just go! (Sighs) What an evening! (Knock on the door) Now what? (She opens the door) Winona?
Marisa: Winona?
Winona: Hi you guys!
Ash: Uh, what happened to your stomach?
Marisa: You idiot! Winona’s pregnant, remember?
Sakura: Aren’t you about nine months now? You should be at home resting.
Winona: I know. But I remembered that it was Misty’s birthday in two weeks. However, my due date is around that time so I wanted to give Misty her present early.
Ash: What a coincidence! We’re having a birthday party for Misty two weeks early!
Winona: Well I called her house, but Violet and Lily told me that she was over at your house Sakura, so here I am. (Brock runs up)
Brock: Winona! How lovely it is to see you again!
Marisa: Brock! X.Y.Z. dude!
Brock: Examine my zipper? (Looks down) Oops! (Zips up) How embarrassing!
Sakura: I don’t even want to know what you were doing outside! (Misty comes out of the bathroom)
Ash: Misty, you’re back!
Misty: (Gasp) Winona! I am so glad to see you again.
Winona: I came to see you Misty. Happy early Birthday! So you guys are throwing a party?
Sakura: It is a birthday party, not much of one I’m afraid.
Misty: Thank you so much for the gift Winona. How are you doing?
Winona: Well, I’m doing okay for the most part. I’m due in about two weeks so I’m really anxious.
Misty: Would you like to stay?
Winona: Well my plan was to stay a while since my parents dropped me off and said they were going to a movie, so I can do that. (A little later at the table)
Sakura: I hope you’re all ready for some cake!
Ash: Lay it on me woman!
Daisy: I’ll just have a little slice. I have to keep my girlish figure you know.
Marisa: (Silently) Oh please!
Daisy: What was that nark?
Marisa: A piece of cake isn’t going to ruin your “girlish figure.”
Daisy: No. But in your case, it’s going straight to your big chest. F.Y.I. a big chest only looks good on taller girls, not short girls like you.
Misty: Daisy, that wasn’t very nice!
Marisa: It’s okay Misty. I’m not bothered by her comments one bit.
Winona: Come on you guys. Let’s try to get along. (Looks at May) I don’t believe I’ve met you before.
May: Oh right. I’m May.
Winona: It’s a pleasure.
Marisa: That’s Drew’s girlfriend.
May: (Scoffs) Yeah, but apparently he cares more about some stupid school than our own relationship!
Drew: Not this again.
May: That’s it, I’m leaving.
Drew: Come on May. Just sit down.
May: Go to hell Drew!
Marisa: Come on May. Sit back down!
May: Fine!
Harley: Why don’t you just leave Tucker?
Tucker: Why don’t I just what?
Harley: I don’t know why you came here in the first place!
Tucker: Why don’t you shut up?!
Harley: Oh, you shut up! It’s your fault that we’re fighting!
Tucker: My fault? How predictable! Blaming others for your own discretion! (Winona starts holding her stomach)
Misty: Come on guys! Stop the fighting!
Sakura: Alright, that does it! (Brings out the cake) I’ve tried to be happy and I have put up with all of your stupid fighting. But you all suck! (Winona groaning) You’re turning a happy occasion into pure crap!
Ash: Yeah, yeah, quit talking and let’s cut the cake!
Brock: We have to sing Happy Birthday first!
Sakura: Fine! (Quickly) Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Misty! Happy Birthday to you! (Slams the cake on the table)
Brock: So much for the cake!
Ash: (Sobbing) It was so young!
Sakura: PUT A SOCK IN IT! Look what you made me do! (Winona starts to breathe heavily)
Brock: Winona, are you okay?
Winona: Oh yeah, don’t mind me. (Water starts to leak)
Daisy: What the hell was that?
Sakura: Oh shit! Oh man! You’re going into labor now!
Tracey: Sakura, we really should call your parents.
Sakura: NO!!! My parents are out of town right now and don’t even know about this party.
Misty: And I thought the surprises have stopped!
Sakura: I don’t want them finding out about any of this. I didn’t know that this night would be so hectic. If I’d known that in advance, I would have never put on a party. And I don’t want any of you calling any of your parents either.
Marisa: Well that’s just stupid. And I thought she was the smart one!
Winona: (Screams) SOMEBODY, DO SOMETHING!
Daisy: Hold on Winona, I can take you in my car. (Outside)
Winona: I really appreciate this Daisy.
Daisy: Okay, hang on. (Turns the key) Huh? (Engine revs up and then goes down) Piece of crap! Well, it’s no use. My car is dead! (Sticks her head out the window) Anybody else have a car? (Everyone hesitates)
Harley: Nope. None of us drive yet…Well except for Tucker and Drew.
Tucker: Sorry, my car is in the shop.
Drew: And I got a ride with May and her parents.
Harley: So you could make out in the backseat I take it. (Winona groans)
Daisy: YOU ALL SUCK! (Inside the house)
Sakura: So much for my plan.
Misty: Oh don’t blame yourself Sakura. No one could have expected ANY of this to happen. (Voice from out the door)
Drew: For Christ sake Harley, lift.
Harley: Shut up Drew, I’m lifting. (Daisy opens the door)
Marisa: What the hell is going on? I thought Daisy and Winona were going to the hospital.
Tracey: Daisy’s car wouldn’t start.
Misty: Winona, we could call your parents!
Winona: No. I tried that in the car and they turned off their cell phones.
Misty: Don’t worry Winona. We’ll stand by you until the paramedics come.
Sakura: (Sighs) Let me get some towels! (A little later in the backyard)
May: (Sighs) What a night! (Drew walks up)
Drew: It’s crazy in there.
May: Hmm, if you’ve come to cheer me up, you’re sadly mistaking!
Drew: Actually, I came outside to avoid the anarchy inside. But now that we’re alone, I think we should talk. Are you alright?
May: Am I alright? Ask me how do I feel?
Drew: (Chuckles) Repeating Guys & Dolls lines again?
May: Oh shut up Drew. I was really hurt when I found out that you might be going to a different school. I know it sounds selfish of me, but I don’t want to lose any of you guys. Not any of my friends. Most importantly, I don’t want to lose you Drew. Apparently that hasn’t crossed your mind that it won’t be the same!
Drew: You’re not going to lose me. I’ve thought about doing it, but I’m going to stay. I’ll tell you this right now May. I was ready to leave Pallet High. My original plan was to stay for Guys & Dolls and then leave at the end of the semester. But my plans changed when I met you. It’s because of you that I’m staying.
May: (Scoffs) Please, you’re only saying that to cheer me up.
Drew: It’s the truth. I really do care about you May. (He embraces her)
May: You really…care about me?
Drew: Of course.
Harley: How romantic! (May jumps) Don’t mind me! Anything is better then being in there. So I see you two kissed and made up.
May: Yeah, we did.
Drew: What about you and Tucker?
Harley: Nope, I don’t see us making up.
Tucker: Isn’t that just like you?
Harley: Hate to make you guys do this, but could you two go back inside while we talk out here? (They go inside)
May: Do you have any idea what they’re saying?
Drew: No clue and I don’t want to know.
May: They’re really yelling at each other.
Drew: Yeah. It must have been a big fight they had earlier. (Harley and Tucker kiss) Oh look, they made up.
May: That still grosses me out!
Drew: You’ll get used to it eventually! (Outside)
Tucker: I’m sorry Harley. Let’s never fight again.
Harley: That’s how I love my men; covered in pink and wrapped in an apology. (In another room)
Sakura: This is turning out great. I just wanted to throw a simple birthday party for one of my best friends and now two fights have broken out and Winona is giving birth on the couch. (Winona groans)
Daisy: Where is the ambulance! It’s been over an hour and no one has showed up!
Misty: Ash told me he called them!
Ash: I didn’t call them! Tracey called them!
Tracey: Not me! It was Brock!
Brock: I didn’t call anybody!
Marisa: You mean to tell me that none of you called the ambulance? (They all hesitate)
Ash: I think I’ll call the ambulance now!
Brock: Allow me!
Winona: (Screaming) CALL THEM NOW! (Ash and Brock run into the kitchen)
Marisa: Don’t worry Winona. Soon you’ll be in the hospital with your brand new baby.
Misty: Marisa, why don’t I take over partner duty? Your hands must be tired after Winona squeezed it to death.
Marisa: My hands are fine Misty. Why don’t you take a break and have a talk with Mr. Gloom over there!
Misty: Huh? Oh, Marcus.
Marisa: Go easy on him. (Misty walks over to Marcus)
Misty: Marcus, I need to speak to you in private. (They go in the bathroom)
Marcus: Um Misty…
Misty: Please let me speak. Marcus, as much as I am very flattered...I would love it if we just stayed good friends. It’s just that I see you as a very good friend and I don’t want to destroy our friendship if we’re to be in a relationship.
Marcus: I guess it is for the best.
Misty: I hate to crush you like this.
Marcus: Hey, I guess that’s why they call it a crush!
Misty: For what it’s worth, you were the only one tonight who didn’t do anything crazy or stupid. (Winona screaming in the other room)
Marcus: You do have a point there. I’m not in the living room giving birth or fighting with a flaming queen! I am glad that we’re going to stay friends. (Misty hugs Marcus) Aw, gee! (Back in the living room)
Brock: I wonder when the ambulance is going to show up. (Winona screams and grabs Brock’s hand) OW! LET GO OF MY HAND!
Marisa: Anyone coming yet?
Sakura: Nope. No one in the driveway!
Marisa: Man, my hands are killing me!
Winona: OH GOD! THIS BABY IS COMING OUT NOW! SOMEONE HAS TO DELIVER IT!
Brock: Oh come on. You’ve only been in labor for an hour tops. HOLY CRAP! Okay, the baby’s head is crowning! You’re ready to give birth!
Ash: Oh crap! Um, who wants to do the honors? (Marcus kneels down)
Marcus: Oh boy! (Faints)
Misty: Marcus!
Marisa: I’m surprised he lasted this long. (Drags him away) Come on Marcus, time to wake up. Wait Brock, you knew the baby’s head was crowning! You could deliver the baby!
Daisy: You’re going to let the pervert help deliver the baby?
Brock: I’ve seen my mother give birth at least four times.
Ash: Brock’s our man!
Brock: Okay let’s do it! Ash and Drew, I want you to hold onto Winona! And I need someone with a strong stomach to be next to me in case I pass out.
Harley: That would be me! (Winona screams)
Misty: Come on Winona! Push it out! You can do it! (They stare at Misty) I am a cheerleader you know!
Brock: Okay, just one more push…I think! (Winona screams and then the sound of a baby’s cry) Okay, there. It’s all over now. Congratulations Winona, you’re a mommy.
Ash: Huh? IT’S A GIRL!
Drew: Then why does it have a penis?
Daisy: Then it’s a boy!
Winona: (Sobbing) A baby boy? I’m so happy!
Daisy: Wallace would be so proud.
Winona: And that’s this little guy’s name, Wallace. Just like his daddy. I want to thank you all for putting your problems aside to help me. Misty, I’m sorry that I ruined your party.
Misty: As far as birthday parties go, this was the most exciting. And now, everyone isn’t fighting anymore. (Everyone agreed)
Sakura: Alls well that ends well. (Knock on the door) Oh thank God, the ambulance.
Brock: Better late than never. (Outside)
Paramedic: That was some fine work you did young man. Ever thought about being a doctor one day?
Brock: Well the thought hasn’t really crossed my mind.
Daisy: You take good care of my friend now!
Paramedic: Don’t worry. Winona’s in good care now. Huh? Say Miss, after I’m done with this, why don’t you give me a call? (Hands her a piece of paper)
Daisy: You flatter me! My name is Daisy!
Paramedic: You’re not seeing anybody right?
Daisy: Of course not! (Tracey sighs and goes inside)
Marisa: (Thinking) That bitch!
May: Baby Wallace, it kind of has a nice ring to it.
Marisa: Huh? Yeah, that baby is all that Winona has left to remind her of Wallace, the father of the baby. You see, it was last year when that horrible tragedy happened. Before the end of our sophomore year, Wallace was shot and died. Shortly after Wallace’s death, Winona found out that she was pregnant.
May: That’s very sad to hear.
Marisa: I’m going inside to get a chunk of cake! Do you want some?
May: I’ll get some later! (In the living room)
Marisa: Tracey, why are you in here all by yourself?
Tracey: Oh, I was just enjoying the peace and quiet while I can. You know, with all that has happened tonight.
Marisa: Look, I saw what Daisy just did with the pervert paramedic.
Tracey: No big deal. It’s not like we were going to get back together. (Tears up)
Marisa: Are you crying?
Tracey: No! Not at all! I just had something in my eye.
Marisa: It’s okay Tracey. (She embraces him) Just let it out. (Romantic music comes on) Huh? (Marcus waves to her and hides)
Tracey: Marisa, why do you keep swaying back and forth?
Marisa: Huh? Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just that I like this song. I’m sorry if it creeps you out!
Tracey: (Blushes) No, it’s actually quite soothing.
Four scene of love and laughter.
I will be okay.
If I meet my love, and we part,
We'll meet again, like we did before.
The sweet darkness I find
Fumbling around deep in my memories
I can taste the sweetness of the past.
Although you're not anywhere
I'll be alright,
If I close my eyes to that,
Love won't change,
I believe
When the spring light warms, the flowers bloom
In summer, I gaze at the moon floating on the sea
The fall wind, and the winter snow
With that sigh, I wish to be warmed,
Four seasons with your love
Once again.
Marcus: (Whispering) Come on, go for it! (Tracey and Marisa lean in closer and kiss on the lips) Jackpot! Way to go little buddy!
Tracey: Whoa! Marisa…
Marisa: I have to go now! (She runs out the front door)
Tracey: Marisa.
Marcus: (Thinking) Damn it Marisa! You screwed it up! You had him right there! (Outside in the backyard)
Ash: How’s it going Misty?
Misty: I’m okay!
Ash: Phew, what a night. Two fights and a baby being delivered! I thought I was going to have a heart attack tonight.
Misty: Yeah, it was truly a night to remember.
Ash: Oh yeah, I was wondering what happened between you and Marcus.
Misty: (Blushing) We just decided to be friends. I like Marcus a lot, it just isn’t like that.
Ash: I see what you mean. Oh yeah, I wanted to give you this present but there were too many interruptions. (She opens the box) I got you this heart locket. See, it’s big enough to put a picture of your pet in it.
Misty: Oh Ash! I love you, thank you.
Ash: Did you just say you loved me?
Misty: I meant to say, I love IT! The locket! (Ash kisses her) Was that just a happy birthday kiss or was that what I think it was?
Ash: You tell me! (They kiss on the lips)
