Original Date of Post: 12/21/2008
Narrator: Here comes the bride! God, I hope she’s not wearing white! (Medea clears her throat) I mean, we’re all pretty confident that May will look very beautiful on her special day! We’re going to start the story about two days before the wedding at the rehearsal dinner.
Caroline: Here’s to May and Drew! (Cheering and applause)
Kelly: I can’t wait for the wedding!
Grace: Now you promise that you’re not going to start singing Jennifer Hudson again right?
Erika: You better not because I’m singing at the wedding!
Marisa: Since when?
Erika: Since I asked May months in advanced. Plus, I invited this producer from RCA Records to the wedding. So ladies, this might be my big break!
Grace: Milking the wedding for your own personal gain! Really Erika, you are something else!
Erika: You can’t blame me for wanting to move up in the world! Plus, May and Drew had no objections to me singing right after the vows!
Marisa: You bribed them, didn’t you?
Erika: Shut up, nark! (May walks up)
Misty: Hey, only two days until the BIG day! Nervous?
May: Very!
Marisa: Pre-wedding jitters?
May: Something along the lines! (At another table)
Ash: Okay men, another poll!
Marcus: Oh, we can read you like a book! What’s the poll this time and how much money are we going to put in?
Ash: Eh…I don’t know!
Harley: Well when you know what you’ll be betting on, let me know! I love a good bet!
Nando: I too would like to partake in your bet! (Joshua walks up)
Harley: Well hello Joshua! Nice of you to show up fashionably late!
Joshua: Sorry I’m late everybody!
Brock: Word to the wise Joshua. Erika is going to try at anything to make you jealous. She has gone around and told everybody that she has a rich boyfriend.
Joshua: (Sighs) Don’t remind me! Sorry for my tardiness guys. I actually had to pick someone up from the airport for the wedding. (Tucker walks up)
Tucker: Hi everybody! Hello Harley!
Grace: Ladies, get ready for a good show! Look who just stepped into the ring!
Misty: Holy crap! Harley’s ex and present boyfriend in the same room!
Erika: And Harley’s not saying a word!
Marisa: This is priceless! (Camera flashes)
Todd: I love my work! (Phone rings)
Marisa: God damn it! I wonder what my mother wants! Keep watching Todd and let me know what happens when I get back!
Todd: Yeah, yeah, yeah! (In a corner)
Marisa: What’s up Mom? Huh? Oh really! (Back at the other table)
Nando: Harley, are you going to introduce me to your friend?
Harley: (Sighs) Nando, this is Tucker.
Nando: Ah, Fantina's baby brother! Very nice to meet you!
Tucker: Likewise!
Ash: Um…We’ll leave you guys to catch up! (They all leave the area) I’ve got it! Poll on who snaps first! We’ll start the biding at twenty dollars!
Tracey: It has to be Tucker! Look at him! He looks like he’s ready to snap Nando’s neck off!
Erika: No way! I’m putting my money on Harley snapping! I mean look at him! He’s as silent as a church mouse!
Marcus: Sure! I want to put my money on Harley, but Nando might go berserk! I mean, what if Harley still has feelings for Tucker? Nando could snap! Tough choice, but I’ll go with Harley!
Brock: Me too! (Marisa walks up) There you are! Who do you want to bet on?
Ash: Who do you think is going to snap first, Tucker, Harley, or Nando? Twenty bucks!
Marisa: I’m not really in the mood to take part in this! (She walks away)
Tracey: Uh-oh!
Marcus: Wait up! (Nearby)
May: Drew, I need to speak to you right now! (Nearby)
Drew: What’s up?
May: I might be pregnant.
Drew: What the…Again?
May: Yes Drew!
Drew: Now how the hell did this happen?
Narrator: Let’s freeze for a second! You see, about a couple of weeks ago…
Drew: Hey, shut up! You already went into graphic details about the conception of our first child, don’t screw it up now! Oh man, we’re only 19 and we’re going to have TWO kids?
May: Well, I might be. I am late. I need to take a test.
Drew: Oh God, please let it be a mistake! (May growls) Although…
May: Save it Drew! Let’s just go on with the rest of this dinner.
Kelly: There you guys are! You’re missing all the fun!
Drew: Not now Kelly!
Kelly: Tucker showed up and Harley’s speechless!
May: Tucker’s here?
Drew: This, I’ve got to see! We’ll continue this discussion at home! (Nearby)
Nando: You know how to do the waltz? Harley doesn’t even know that dance!
Tucker: Yes, my parents taught me how to do it years ago and it has stuck with me ever since.
Nando: Perhaps you could do me the honors by teaching me a few moves. I’m still a little rusty on a couple of moves.
Tucker: It would be my pleasure! (They start to dance)
Misty: Wow, they’re good! (Harley walks away)
Erika: Girl, the drama has just begun! Harley is still not saying anything. (Nearby)
Marisa: I’m just in a daze right now! I want to be sad, but…I just don’t know!
Tracey: It’ll be okay Marisa!
Marcus: Yeah, it’s going to be tough I know. But I’m sure you’re going to be alright!
Tracey: Would you like us to do anything?
Marisa: I think I should go now! It’s best that I go home and be with my family for this.
Marcus: I’ll take you home! I should say that this is the most unexpected news I’ve heard all day! (Sees Tucker and Nando dancing) Okay, that wins for most unexpected thing to happen!
Tracey: Hey May!
May: What’s going on Tracey?
Tracey: The three of us are going to leave early. Marisa kind of has a family emergency and I think she needs someone to be there for her.
Drew: Is everything okay?
Marisa: I’ll still be there for the wedding and everything; it’s just that I have to go home right now.
May: Okay then, I hope everything is okay. (In the car)
Marcus: Marisa, you know it is okay to cry when these things happen. You can always come and cry on my shoulder if you want. (Marisa sighs)
Tracey: You know it’s not good to hold anything in.
Marisa: I’m not holding anything in.
Tracey: You know it sounds like you are. Marisa, you just got word that your father has been diagnosed with cancer and has been told that he has three months to live. Doesn’t that make you sad? Don’t you show any remorse?
Marisa: Sure I’m sad. It’s sad to hear anybody getting word that they have cancer and is cut down and of course it won’t ever be the same without him. It’s just that…we have one unhealthy relationship.
Tracey: What the hell are you…
Marcus: Hold it Tracey!
Marisa: It’s okay! It’s just that Tracey really doesn’t know the truth behind my relationship with my own father.
Tracey: But he’s dying! Shouldn’t you bury the hatchet with him before he dies?
Marisa: I can’t ever forgive him…No matter what, he's still a bastard!
Tracey: Huh?
Marcus: Well, we’re here! Would you like for us to come in with you? (Marisa gets out of the car) Little buddy?
Marisa: I’ll see you guys later!
Marcus: Okay then. (They drive away)
Tracey: Marcus, what the hell was that about? She called him a…
Marcus: Bastard…Yes, I know. Nothing I haven’t heard already. (Sighs) It’s kind of a long story Tracey!
Tracey: I’ve got all night! Let’s hear it!
Marcus: Alright, let me pull over so I don’t get distracted. Now normally, I wouldn’t tell anybody any of this. But since I’m getting tired of all this secrecy crap, you should at least know the truth. Just remember if she heard that I told you this, she’d skin me alive.
Tracey: That’s a risk I’m willing to take!
Marcus: Easy for you to say! You’re not the one who’s going to die by her hands. (Stops the car) Okay, what would you like to know?
Tracey: Didn’t I just tell you that? I want to know why Marisa is acting so weird about this sad news!
Marcus: Right, her father! It all kind of started when she was about six months old. At that time, her father left the house and never returned. You see, Marisa’s parents never married and had a child out of wedlock. So for the next six years it was only Marisa and her mother. Times were a little tough, but they got through it all! Around that time, they were living in a different place…
Tracey: Where?
Marcus: Eh…just so we don’t confuse the readers I’ll just say far, far away!
Tracey: Okay.
Marcus: Well that was when Marisa’s mom lost her job and ended up moving here and when they met yours truly. Meanwhile, her father spent the next ten years getting married to other women and was really distant from his only child. Maybe an occasional birthday card every other year or something like that! But of course when she was younger, she would always wait up at nights wondering when her father was coming home. But when she was ten, her mother told her the truth that her father was never coming home. It was then that she learned the truth that he abandoned the family. She couldn’t believe it! She couldn’t believe that her own father would abandon her or her mother. She originally thought that he was sent overseas to fight in a war. It was from then on that she had such bitter resentment towards the old man.
Tracey: She never told me that.
Marcus: Oh, it gets better! Right before we start high school, he comes out of the blue, back into their lives. He asked for her mother’s forgiveness and she accepted it. Marisa’s mother was able to accept his forgiveness, but not her. She still believed that he was no good and to this day never forgave him for abandoning them.
Tracey: Oh man!
Marcus: So now you know!
Tracey: I know that she has ill feelings towards her father now. But don’t you think that she should at least try to make amends and to forgive him for what he has done? He did come back and has been back for the last five years!
Marcus: I don’t know! Marisa has to decide that for herself.
Tracey: It’s just trifling that she can’t show any emotion for her father dying!
Marcus: Here’s the thing Tracey! You have a healthy relationship with your father I take it and I'm close with my old man as well. Marisa is a little different! She has wounds that just won’t heal and it’s up to her to make that call. (Later that night at May’s apartment)
May: (Thinking) How are we going to do this? This is crazy! I feel like I'm turning into Brittney Spears! (Drew opens the door)
Drew: Hi honey. You ready to sleep?
May: Why, so you can act like some horny, humping dog!
Drew: What’s going on? (May scoffs) Come on! We’re getting married in less than two days. You shouldn’t be giving me the cold shoulder. You’re just stressed out! How about I give you one of my back massages?
May: (Sweetly) Well, that does sound nice! (Angrily) Wait, no! Get off me Drew! (She pushes him away) It starts with an innocent back rub and then it’ll lead into steamy, coat-closet sex! No wonder I’m having another baby just months after I have Sara! (Baby crying) Now look what you did! You woke up Sara! Get out! (Drew runs into the other room)
Drew: Hey! (Picks up Sara) Come on sweetheart, no more crying! I’m getting enough of that from your mother. (Back at Marisa’s house)
Michelle: Marisa? (Knocks on her door) Honey! (She opens the door) Are you okay?
Marisa: Sounds like something you would ask Dad or even Laura, not me.
Michelle: How are you taking all of this?
Marisa: I really don’t know how to react to all of this. I mean, I am a little sad that he is dying. But how can you feel absolute sadness for someone you’ve held a huge grudge against for the majority of your life?
Michelle: Your father has been trying to be in your life ever since he came back. But you’ve repeatedly pushed him to the side and threw him to the dogs.
Marisa: Yeah, I am cruel like that.
Michelle: It is my fault that I spoke so terribly about him when you were younger and that was wrong. I do remember there was a time when you would think that your father was some great man.
Marisa: (Scoffs) I was probably seven and stupid!
Michelle: But he’s been trying to be the best father he could be once he came back.
Marisa: Half-assed!
Michelle: (Sighs) I’m just going to assume that this is your way of dealing with the grief. I just hope that sooner or later, you’ll come to a realization about your father.
Marisa: …I’ve noticed his rapid weight loss since Christmas break.
Michelle: Yeah, since you’ve been in school he started losing so much weight, became incredibly weak, and really can’t stomach any kind of solid food. Honey, if you need to cry…
Marisa: Why do I need to cry? Why does everybody think I need to cry? I don’t feel like crying and I still don’t know how to feel about all of this.
Michelle: Boy, you’re stubborn just like him.
Marisa: Don’t ever say that again! (Sighs) I’m going to bed! May wants me to help her with some last-minute things with the wedding.
Michelle: Okay then. (The next morning at a shop)
Grace: So what do you guys think of last night’s little fiasco with Harley, Tucker, and Nando?
Kelly: I think the whole dancing scene with Tucker and Nando was a little weird, but it was entertaining!
Misty: I wonder if there’ll be drama unfolding during the ceremony or better yet at the reception! What do you think Marisa?
Marisa: Huh? Think about what?
Grace: We’re talking about Harley’s ex and present boyfriend!
Marisa: I think it’s fine!
All: Huh?
Misty: You’re not feeling yourself today! What’s wrong?
Marisa: (Sighs) Sorry! I guess I’m just not in the mood for mindless gossip today.
Kelly: But you live off that stuff!
Misty: Something’s up and I want to know! (Marisa sighs)
Kelly: Normally you don’t sigh that much!
Grace: And you were pretty upset when you left last night! Did Tracey do something to you?
Misty: Did you get a bad grade in school?
Kelly: Are you pregnant?
Marisa: No, none of your business, and hell no! (Sighs) Might as well tell you! My mom called me last night and told me that my dad came back from the doctor’s office. He has cancer and at the most has three months left to live.
Misty: Whoa. That is some big news.
Kelly: I’m so sorry Marisa! I imagine that you must be devastated by this whole thing.
Marisa: Actually Kelly, I have been unable to show any kind of emotion to the news.
Misty: You’ve got to be kidding me! Your father is dying and you are unable to show any emotion towards that?
Marisa: I know I should feel something…but I just don’t. Sure it is sad that he’s dying, but still…
Kelly: He’s still your father! The man who raised you…
Marisa: Stop right there! He did not raise me! He abandoned me and my mother when I was six months old and didn’t return until I was a teenager.
Misty: Wow, you never told me that.
Grace: But you should still be upset at the fact that your father is going to die. (Marisa sighs) But, it might just be your way of dealing with the pain.
Misty: The way you’re talking is like saying you don’t care if your father lives or dies.
Marisa: It’s not what I’m saying at all!
Misty: Then what are you saying? (Marisa groans)
Marisa: How can I put it in a way you all can understand? Okay, if it were my mother dying, I wouldn’t be able to function whatsoever and I would possibly go berserk. But that’s because I am so close to my mother. My father and I don’t have that relationship and even though he’s been living in our house for five years, I still see him as a stranger and I guess that’s the reason why I’m a little weird on this subject. (May walks up)
Kelly: Hi May!
Misty: Ready for the big day?
May: Not really.
Grace: Oh…Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet now!
May: I’m actually a little shaken up about this fight I had with Drew last night.
Grace: You two got into a fight when you are literally hours away from walking down the aisle?
Misty: What in the hell did you two have to argue about? (May starts to cry)
Kelly: Now look what you two did!
Marisa: What’s the matter May?
May: I got mad at Drew last night right before I went to bed. I called him a horny dog and made him stay up with Sara last night. That boy just doesn’t want to keep his hands to himself. No wonder I’m having a… (Gasps)
Grace: Having a what?
May: Nothing!
Kelly: Don’t tell me you’re having another baby!
May: Maybe!
Kelly: Wow, you really are turning into Britney Spears. Starts with one kid and then another one right after that! Before you know it, you’ll be divorced, bald, tattooed, and addicted to cocaine! (They all glare at her) Was I too literal?
Marisa: Are you sure you’re having another baby?
May: I’m three weeks late, I’m throwing up in the bathroom every morning, and I have strange cravings like I did when I was pregnant with Sara.
Misty: Don’t jump the gun on this one! Girls are always late around our age. And as for the throwing up, I’ll say that it’s just pre-wedding jitters.
May: What about the cravings?
Kelly: We all have cravings!
Grace: Take a pregnancy test! (At Drew’s apartment)
Joshua: How do I look?
Marcus: Like you’re about to be buried six feet under.
Brock: Have you seen my pants for the tuxedo? I put it down for a second and now I can’t find them.
Drew: No, and I didn’t want to see your underpants!
Tracey: Here you go Brock! I found them!
Drew: Great, now put them on before I lose my lunch! Great, I choose the guy who can’t find his pants to be my best man. I sure can pick 'em!
Brock: It was either that or you go with fire-starter over there!
Ash: I start one fire and I’m haunted by it for the rest of my life. Gee Drew, who pissed in your cereal this morning? (Drew glares at him)
Drew: Let’s just say I’m not in the mood.
Marcus: What’s the matter? Got a bad case of limp biscuit?
Drew: Marcus, shut the hell up!
Tracey: Everyone’s got something to hide this week! What’s going on?
Drew: Go pester your girlfriend Sketchit, I’m not in the mood!
Tracey: Watch it Drew! Remember, you piss us off and maybe we won’t show up to your wedding tomorrow. Go on and do the wedding without us guys!
Drew: That’s fine with me because who knows if there’s going to even be a wedding!
Ash: DREW! (He slaps him in the face) You’re scaring me now! No one should ever get into a fight with Tracey so something is up.
Drew: (Sighs) Sorry you guys! It’s just that May might be pregnant and it’s stressing me the hell out.
All: AGAIN?
Drew: Yeah.
Marcus: Keep it in your pants, man!
Drew: It isn’t so much of the news that’s bringing me down, it’s more like the fight I had with May last night.
Joshua: It’s not a good thing to fight with your fiancé two days before your wedding.
Drew: Thanks for the advice! And this, coming from the guy who had sex with another girl in your ex-girlfriend’s closet!
Brock: You guys fought over the new baby?
Drew: Sort of. I told May I was a little excited on having the new addition. However, she got a little irritated last night and called me a humping, horny dog.
Ash: But that’s no reason to say that there isn’t going to be a wedding. Just give her some space until the big day. (Drew sighs)
Drew: I guess. (A little later in Marcus’s car)
Tracey: What the hell is with everyone?
Marcus: It’s a full moon!
Tracey: I’m serious Marcus. Everyone’s acting crazy or stupid!
Marcus: You’re blowing things way out of proportion! Everyone is not acting crazy or stupid. It’s just the situation of certain circumstances that are making people crazy.
Tracey: Uh-huh? What about that? (Points to Harley outside)
Marcus: Oh come on! Like this is the first time you’ve seen Harley wearing a tube top, mini skirt, standing out on a corner like a prostitute! (Tracey glares at him) I’ll get him in the car! (He gets out of the car) What the hell are you doing?
Harley: Do I know you, chica?
Marcus: What the hell, man? Look, just get in the car now!
Harley: How much you got?
Marcus: Huh? I am not buying pussy off from someone I KNOW has a penis! (Police sirens) Get in the car! NOW! (They jump in the car)
Harley: Ugh! What are you doing here?
Marcus: We should be asking you why you’re standing on a street corner like some painted-up whore!
Harley: Simply looking for a date for tomorrow.
Tracey: You’ve got to be kidding me!
Marcus: What are you talking about? You have Nando!
Harley: Ha! After last night, I told him he can go with Tucker. And then I called him a cheating whore and walked away.
Marcus: Prostituting yourself on the street isn’t the answer. Do you have any idea how close I was to getting arrested?
Harley: Who are you, my parents? Besides, it’s over! Why does this always happen when I’m with a good man? I must have been Mussolini in a former life!
Marcus: You just want a date to make Nando and/or Tucker jealous I take it. You don’t have to go with somebody! It’s not like it’s a contest to see who goes with the best arm candy. It is only a wedding!
Tracey: Well thanks a lot Harley because you just cost me twenty dollars! It’s my own damn fault for betting on Tucker!
Marcus: Alright Harley, so that you don’t do anything stupid between now and the wedding, we’re going to keep an eye on you. And it has been decided that you are going to spend the night at Tracey’s house.
Tracey: Why does it have to be my house?
Marcus: You lost the bet! (Tracey sighs) Don’t worry, I’ll spend the night as well. (Stops the car)
Harley: What are we doing here?
Marcus: We’re here to check on little buddy!
Harley: Oh crap, she’s going to kill me if she sees me in this!
Tracey: I doubt it! She has other things on her mind. Let’s go! (They knock on the door)
Michelle: Hi boys! What brings you by here?
Marcus: We came to see how everyone was doing.
Tracey: Is Marisa even here?
Michelle: No, she went to the church to help May with some last minute things.
Marcus: And where’s…
Michelle: Her father is at the hospital getting a few tests done. (Sighs) I assume she didn’t say much to you boys.
Tracey: She just refused to show emotion.
Marcus: It’s just her way!
Harley: I’m sorry! I missed a big gap of this story.
Marcus: Sorry Harley! You see, we’re just a little concerned about Marisa. She just got word that her father is going to die from cancer.
Harley: Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that.
Michelle: Young man, why are you…
Tracey: You don’t want to know! (The door opens) Marisa?
Marisa: Huh? I’ve had this dream before, except I was in a wedding gown. What’s going on here?
Tracey: Marisa, do you mind if we talk outside? Alone!
Marcus: Right! Harley and I will stay in here!
Harley: You two go and enjoy your little talk! (They go outside)
Marisa: Why is Harley in a tube top and mini skirt?
Tracey: I’d rather not get into the details. (They sit down) How are you feeling?
Marisa: I’m fine!
Tracey: Is that the lie you’ve decided to give to everyone who asks that?
Marisa: Why do you keep insisting…
Tracey: Because I’m concerned about you! I know you’re sad whether you want to admit it or not. You’re just hiding your emotions and that’s what…
Marisa: I’m not hiding anything Tracey!
Tracey: I know your father hurt you and your mother. I know you’ve been hurting all of your life when it came to him. But, I do believe that you should at least have some sort of forgiveness before he dies.
Marisa: Tracey, shut the fuck up! I’m tired of people telling me how to feel. Yes, it is my father and yes he is dying. The way I see it is that it’s just karma in effect. He’s been a dick his whole life and now he’s dying. There’s nothing you can say or do that can change my opinion about the bastard! So stop telling me what I should be feeling and butt the fuck out! (Tracey gets up and goes back inside)
Marcus: Tracey?
Tracey: I cannot believe she said…
Michelle: Tracey, sit down!
Tracey: She goes off and…
Michelle: I SAID SIT! (He sits down) I know she’s hurting inside and I know she’s sad that her father is close to death. Marisa’s just too stubborn to admit it or show it. Just please don’t bug her like that again!
Tracey: But the way she talked to me…
Michelle: Yes, we could hear her from inside. She’s just venting! (Sighs) Normally, she would never wish ill or death upon anyone. But if her father is brought up, she just gets dark about it.
Marcus: She’s right.
Michelle: Just give her some space for now. I know your words will reach her.
Tracey: I just wish that I could do more for her…
Michelle: I know you do Tracey. That’s the kind of good that her father could never see inside of you. I know you mean well! (That night at Tracey’s house)
Harley: Now you guys promise to take me home first thing in the morning, right? I want to get into my suit before the wedding.
Marcus: You mean an actual suit and tie? Its official, the world has truly gone mad!
Tracey: I’ll be glad when tonight is over!
Harley: Today wasn’t so bad!
Marcus: You better not go there! Tracey got into a fight with Drew, got cussed out by his girlfriend, lost twenty dollars…
Tracey: And if I lose my virginity to a gender-confused male, Peter Pan here is going to be flying out of my window tonight.
Harley: Fair enough. (Door knocks)
Tracey: Come in!
June: Are you boys all settled?
All: Yes!
June: Very good, now if you boys need anything just let me know.
Tracey: Thanks Mom! (She closes the door) Come on, let’s get to sleep. We have to be at the church at 9:00am. (He turns out the light)
Marcus: Tracey, don’t be mad at little buddy!
Tracey: You’ve told me that a number of times already.
Marcus: I know, but repetitive is the key!
Narrator: Finally, it’s here! The moment you’ve all been waiting for! The wedding of May and…
Joshua: Guys we have a big problem! The wedding is supposed to start soon and Drew is no where to be found!
Ash: You’ve got to be kidding me!
Narrator: Whoa, this ought to be good!
Brock: He’s got to be somewhere! I saw him in his dressing room earlier!
Joshua: Then he must have ducked out!
Tracey: Calm down Joshua! We can ask the girls if they’ve seen him. (In another room)
Misty: Okay, all you need to do is wait about five minutes after doing all the steps listed on the back of the box.
May: Five minutes? This damn thing better be accurate for me to wait so long. (The door knocks)
Grace: Who is it?
Joshua: It’s Joshua! Can I speak to one of you girls? (The door opens) Wait, I didn’t say all of you ladies!
Marisa: What’s wrong Joshua?
Joshua: Marisa, we have a problem! (Whispering) Have you seen Drew at all?
Marisa: No! (Marcus runs up)
Marcus: Big problem! I just talked to Kelly and she said she saw Drew running out of the building!
Joshua: Keep your voice down! (Inside the church)
Conway: Thanks for letting me come.
Dawn: No problem. The invite said I could bring one guest.
Zoey: Brianna isn’t coming, right?
Dawn: No, she said it would be too sad to come.
Conway: Why, does she cry at weddings?
Zoey: She still has a crush on the groom.
Marley: Why doesn’t that surprise me? (Nearby)
Nando: Mind if I sit here?
Harley: If you sit there, I’m sitting somewhere else.
Nando: Please Harley, let’s just talk!
Harley: Fine, what would you like to talk about? You and Tucker dancing the waltz? That’s just so sick! Backstabbers!
Nando: Oh, we were just getting into conversation and turns out he knew a lot about dancing just like you. So I asked him to help me out! The waltz is the one dance I’m terrible at and I wanted to do it. You know there’s going to be dancing at the wedding and slow dancing at that.
Harley: How do I know you’re telling me the truth?
Tucker: I can vouch for him!
Harley: What do you want, you lying wh…
Tucker: Careful! We’re in a church! As usual, you’ve got to be your usual, jealous self.
Harley: At least I never tried to snap anyone’s neck for talking to me.
Tucker: You got me there! Nando wanted to do this for you, Harley and who am I to object!
Harley: You mean, you’re not trying to steal away my Fernando?
Tucker: No, you paranoid freak! I’m glad to see you very happy. Nando is a lucky man to have someone like you.
Nando: I sure am! (Nando kisses Harley on the cheek)
Tucker: Um, Harley…
Harley: Yeah?
Tucker: I’m happy for you. I wish nothing but the best for the two of you.
Harley: That means a lot to me. Thank you Tucker! (Nearby)
Joshua: Listen everybody, we’ve got a big problem! Drew is not here! Now if we want this wedding to go on, we have to find the groom and make sure he hasn’t left the country or faked his death.
Marcus: So what do we do?
Joshua: First, we need a group to drive around and find him. He couldn’t have gotten too far on foot!
Tracey: I can do that!
Joshua: Next, we need someone to keep May in her dressing room until we find him.
Grace: You can count on me and Misty for that job!
Joshua: Perfect! Last, we need someone to keep the people in the church in their seats and entertained at the same time.
Erika: Why are you looking at me? Doesn’t your little blonde whore sing for you? Get her to sing!
Grace: Sweetie, no cussing in the church!
Erika: Shut up, you nun!
Joshua: Please Erika!
Marisa: Would you do it if I told you that the guy from RCA Records is here?
Erika: I’ll do it because the nark told me who was out there! He better be out there!
Marisa: I think I should be grateful that she isn’t going out there with a Jennifer Hudson wig on her head. (Tracey takes her by the hand)
Tracey: Come with me! (They go into the car)
Marisa: Was this your way of getting me to talk since we’re alone?
Tracey: Partly! The other reason is to help me find Drew and you do know the choke-hold.
Marisa: Well, you’ve got me there. Dad taught me that move!
Tracey: So…
Marisa: It’s a useful move and that’s really the only good thing I can say about him.
Tracey: Come on! You don’t mean that! You’re going to miss him when he dies. You don’t have to admit it, but I know you are going to.
Marisa: Maybe a little. Now let’s just keep our eyes open in case one of us sees Drew. (Back in the bathroom)
May: I’m done!
Grace: Great to hear that! Um, we have a very slight setback.
May: How slight?
Misty: Well, um…
Grace: The priest hasn’t shown up yet!
Misty: But he phoned and said that he is on his way.
May: The priest?
Grace: Yes, the priest! So until he arrives, you must stay in this room so that Drew will not see his blushing bride until the ceremony. We wouldn’t want bad luck to befall our dearest friend. (Nervous laugh)
May: Are you telling me the truth?
Misty: Of course we are! Why would you even ask that?
May: You’re lying to me, aren’t you?
Grace: No I’m not! (And I’m Telling You playing in the background)
May: And how come I hear music out there!
Misty: (Sighs) That would be Erika!
Grace: You gave her permission to sing at your wedding. She’s just getting tuned up!
May: You guys win this round. But this wedding better go on in 30 minutes or I’m going to sort it out myself. (Back in the car)
Tracey: Any sign of him?
Marisa: Nope. (Phone rings) I’ll get that! Hello!
Grace: Have you found him?
Marisa: Not yet.
Grace: Well hurry up! We told May a lie, but it won’t last too long so hurry up.
Marisa: I don’t see you helping us, lazy-ass!
Grace: What was that?
Tracey: There he is! He’s coming out of that shop!
Marisa: Stop the car! I’ll chase him on foot if I need to!
Tracey: Don’t throw your high-heal at him!
Marisa: Fine, I’ll keep them on! (She runs out of the car and grabs him) GOTCHA!
Drew: Ah! Let me go! Marisa?
Marisa: You’re busted! (Tracey runs up)
Tracey: Where the hell did you go?
Marisa: Tracey, check his bag. For all we know there could be a fake mustache in there.
Tracey: Whoa, it’s just a card and a toy rattle!
Drew: Yes. I was here getting something for May and our new baby. It’s a good thing this shop sells baby stuff and cards for fathers who screwed up.
Tracey: (Reads the card) “Sorry I was such a jerk.”
Marisa: So, you weren’t fleeing the country?
Drew: No! Why would I do that? I want to stay and get married!
Tracey: Sorry for the misunderstanding Drew. Everyone started getting paranoid when they couldn’t find you.
Drew: Well now that I’m done, you can let me go, and take me back to the church! (A few minutes later at the church)
Erika: (Singing)
And I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever, ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
Oh, I'm not livin' without you…
Grace: Hard to believe you actually let that one get away!
Joshua: I don’t want to talk about it.
Misty: So why did you sleep with that blonde chick? I mean, that baby she had is yours, right?
Joshua: You should know that when I slept with Cassidy, she was already pregnant.
Grace: All men say that on the Maury show!
Joshua: And what a coincidence? We’re going on in a few weeks.
Marisa: Start the wedding!
Grace: You guys are back! Where the hell were you?
Tracey: Relax Grace! Drew’s back and more importantly, he was not fleeing the country.
Drew: Why does everybody think that I was going to leave?
Grace: It is most likely to happen! Now you, get your white butt to the front and cut Erika off! Now everybody, get in your positions because it’s wedding time! Ladies, go stand next to your suitors.
Marcus: Pretty big words from someone who isn’t even the maid of honor!
Grace: Marcus, would you like to walk out there with a big shiner?
Marcus: Not particularly!
Grace: Then shut up and get ready!
Marisa: Tracey…I’m sorry.
Tracey: Marisa, it’s okay!
Marisa: No it’s not. There was no excuse for my temper and I shouldn’t have taken my anger and frustration out on you of all people.
Tracey: I’m glad that you’re not mad at me anymore.
Ash: What’s with that handkerchief?
Sakura: I’m sorry Ash! I always cry at weddings!
Ash: Right because I seem to recall you sobbing uncontrollably at my mother’s wedding.
Sakura: I’m a sucker for sap like that.
Ash: Well I’m a sucker for train-wrecks like this! (Erika runs up)
Joshua: There you are.
Erika: Like you care! Sorry I’m late everybody! I just talked to the guy at RCA Records and he’s going to sign me up.
Joshua: Congratulations!
Erika: Thank you Joshua! And congratulations to you for the birth of your bastard child!
Joshua: Erika…Oh, never mind!
Max: Oh God, where’s the ring? Where’s the ring?
Misty: Stop being so paranoid!
Brock: It’s on your pillow!
Max: (Sighs) Oh right!
Narrator: Such a beautiful ceremony…And let’s just skip to the best part of any wedding!
Priest: May, do you take Drew to be your husband, for rich or poor, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
May: I do.
Priest: Drew, do you take May to be your wife, for rich or poor, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?
Drew: I do.
Narrator: And this part!
Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride. (Drew and May kiss) Give it up for Mr. and Mrs. Drew Rose! (May and Drew walk down the aisle and into the limo)
May: I love you so much Drew and I’m so sorry I yelled at you the other night.
Drew: It’s okay May. I just want to let you know that I love you and I can’t wait for you to have our second child.
May: Really? Well, I think you should know that I took a pregnancy test before the ceremony and it says that I am not pregnant.
Drew: Really?
May: Yeah, really.
Drew: Phew! That is a load off my mind! But I guess you can have the card I got before the wedding. (He pulls a card from his pocket)
May: (Reads out loud) “Sorry I was such a jerk.” Aw! (He puts his arm around her)
Drew: Today is the first day of the rest of our lives!
May: Together!
Drew: Forever! (They kiss on the lips)
Narrator: And then they all enjoyed their wonderful night at the reception party! Well, that is the end of our first season. We’re all going on a break, but we’ll be back soon with more of Romance 102.
