Narrator: And now the wedding you’ve waited 8 years for…Well 2 years if you’ve been reading on schedule!
Sakura: Misty! There you are!
Misty: It’s so good to see you! (They hug)
Sakura: Thanks for picking me up.
Misty: It’s no problem. But why did you call me to pick you up and not your parents? They’re probably dying to see you home from Sandgem.
Sakura: Eh…we’re kind of not on speaking terms. Not since Graduation.
Misty: Okay. Well if you guys are having a little spat, I guess you can stay with me in the apartment with me and Winona. I can have someone stay with me in my room.
Sakura: Thanks so much Misty. (At the diner)
Theresa: Even on your day off you still find time to come in Waterflower.
Misty: Well my friend was hungry so you know.
Sakura: I’ll have the special of the day. What are you going to have Misty?
Misty: Huh? Oh nothing. I’m not that hungry. The special has a lot in it. You must be really hungry!
Sakura: Yeah, I was so excited yesterday I couldn’t really eat and of course I can’t ever eat food on the airplane.
Misty: Okay, you’ve got a point. So tell me. Why isn’t Richie with you? When I last talked to you, you said that you and Richie were coming down for the wedding.
Sakura: Oh…Well, we kind of got into a fight and he’s not coming. I really don’t feel that comfortable talking about this subject.
Misty: Okay, I won’t delve any further.
Sakura: Thank you.
Misty: Sorry I missed your graduation.
Sakura: Its okay Misty…It’s not really a big deal.
Misty: Are you kidding me? Of course it was! You graduating with top honors and getting your B.A. in Psychology is a big freakin’ deal.
Sakura: It wasn’t really a big deal. Truth be told, it was kind of a depressing time for me.
Misty: Huh? How so?
Sakura: Oh…It’s nothing really. Hey, you graduated too!
Misty: Thankfully! This year has been a rollercoaster and I’m so glad that the school year is over.
Sakura: So how’s everyone else?
Misty: Let’s see…Well Ash is in the police academy and is doing very well for himself, Brock graduated as well and is working at a vet with his girlfriend, Marisa has been doing gigs for her stand-up, Tracey’s working and has his own place, Marcus is the lead in Phantom of the Opera, and Harley just graduated. He pretty much danced his way through college.
Sakura: It’s so great that you keep up with everyone Misty. I should have done more to keep in touch.
Misty: Hey, we all understand Sakura. You’re very dedicated to your work and we all know first hand. (A little later at Misty’s apartment)
Lanette: Hey bride-to-be!
Sakura: Lanette! I didn’t know you were back!
Lanette: Hey, I remember you! You’re…wait, wait, wait…don’t tell me. Your name starts with an S. Now was it…Sassy, Sandi…? (Sakura growls) Just kidding! I remember you Sakura! (Winona growls)
Misty: What’s the matter?
Winona: I’m going to kill her!
Misty: My sisters again!
Winona: If she says one more thing I swear I’m going to pull out Daisy’s hair strand by strand. Lily too!
Lanette: I warned you about inviting them over.
Daisy: I cannot believe you’ve been living here all this time. It’s just so dinky.
Lily: These are the apartments we usually see on the news when someone gets shot.
Winona: Is there a reason why you two came to the apartment besides to criticize?
Daisy: I sure hope that all of the girls coming to the Bachelorette party will have enough room to move around in this dinky space.
Winona: She needs to die.
Sakura: Oh yeah, when do you need my measurements Misty?
Misty: Measurements for what?
Sakura: For the bridesmaid dress!
Misty: Oh you don’t need to do that. I already have all my bridesmaids.
Sakura: Huh? (Knocks on the door)
Daisy: Finally. (Opens the door) Late as usual! Geez Violet, could you be any slower!
Violet: Hey, it took me five minutes just to get out of the car. You try moving around with this stomach.
Lily: Well no one told you to get pregnant.
Daisy: Seriously.
Misty: Guys leave Violet alone. She’s got enough on her mind without you two calling her fat or stupid for getting pregnant.
Lily: For the record, I called you stupid. Daisy was the one who called you fat.
Sakura: Misty, what do you mean I’m not going to be a bridesmaid?
Misty: So what’d you bring over Violet?
Violet: Oh yes. I brought over something for the traditional items needed for the wedding. I found the something blue. Check it out! (Misty gasps) Like it? It’s a blue pendant I got several years ago.
Misty: Oh wow, this is perfect. Thank you so much Violet!
Sakura: MISTY!
Misty: Yes Sakura? (Doorbell rings) Coming! (Opens the door) Just in time!
May: We would have been here earlier if Marisa would have just moved her butt. Why you couldn’t learn how to drive like the rest of us is beyond me.
Marisa: Shut up already. I was on the phone with an important person and I needed to give him all of my information.
Misty: Come on girls. What is done is done! Now let’s go over the routine again. (All groan) Come on. I just want everything to be perfect.
Daisy: We know what to do Misty. I mean we’re not idiots.
Marisa: Well…Nah, it’s too easy!
Daisy: What was that nark?
Lily: She says you’re stupid!
Sakura: HOLD IT!
All: Huh?
Sakura: Are you trying to tell me that all of you are bridesmaids and I didn’t even get asked?
Daisy: Everyone except for Violet because she’s too fat to fit into the dress.
Violet: I’m going to cut off all your hair in the middle of the night. (Sakura runs outside)
Marisa: What’s up with her?
Misty: (Sighs) I’ll be right back girls. Just sit down until I get back. (Goes to Lanette) If any of them start to fight, break out the baseball bat! (Runs outside)
Sakura: (Grumbling) Unbelievable! My own best friend! How the hell was that even possible for…?
Misty: Sakura! What the hell is your problem? Why is it so important for you to be a bridesmaid?
Sakura: I just feel…Alone. I’m sorry I overreacted Misty! It’s just a silly thing! I mean, it’s right for you to choose you friends who you’ve seen everyday since we left high school. I mean why should you pick your best friend from high school? Why should you even bother with someone who went far away to go to school?
Misty: Something tells me that the bridesmaid issue isn't the main problem! What’s really going on? (Sakura starts crying) What the…? Sakura don’t cry!
Sakura: I can’t help it! I came here hoping to feel a little happier and to try and leave my problems behind. But I can’t! I just can’t do it! I’m such a loser.
Misty: No you’re not! You are not a loser! Sakura, maybe I can make you an usher for the wedding.
Sakura: (Sobbing) No Misty, I am a loser! I didn’t even graduate college.
Misty: Huh?
Sakura: You heard me. I dropped out a couple of months ago. To make things worse I didn’t tell my family until they came in for a visit on the week I was supposed to graduate.
Misty: Why didn’t you tell them? Why didn’t you tell me?
Sakura: I have my pride Misty. I didn’t want anyone to think less of me. Me, Sakura! I’ve been striving for perfection my whole life and I screw my whole life up.
Misty: It’s only one semester you have to make up. You can always go back in the summer and…
Sakura: It’s not that simple…See I’ve already been kicked out of Sandgem. I got kicked out several months ago. Let’s just say I took some classes that I didn’t do so well in and I ended up flunking out of them all. Soon enough, wound up on academic probation and then kicked out.
Misty: Where have you been living all this time?
Sakura: Richie got a place so I’ve been living there. But now he’s about to kick me out too because I’m… (Gasp)
Misty: You’re what?
Sakura: Nothing! I didn’t say anything!
Misty: Are you…pregnant?
Sakura: …Yes…And to make things worse, it might not even be his baby. (Crying) Oh my life is just falling apart piece by piece and I can’t even enjoy the best time for my best friend. Misty, I’m sorry for going off like that. I’m just…I’m just…Oh God, I don’t even know anymore.
Misty: It’s okay Sakura…You’re just having a mood swing. (Embraces her) It’ll be okay. I’m here for you! (A little later inside)
Winona: I ordered pizza you guys!
Marisa: Sounds good to me! I’ll stay a little longer if you did that.
Daisy: None for me! I’m on a strict diet!
Lily: Me neither! (They leave)
Winona: (Silently) And stay the **** out! (Phone rings)
Lanette: Truer words have never been spoken.
Marisa: Amen to that! (Toilet flushes) Huh?
Misty: You’re still here?
Violet: Hey cut me some slack. (Sighs) Man I’m exhausted.
May: How far along are you Violet?
Violet: I’ve got another month or so to go. I heard someone say they ordered pizza!
Misty: Did you want to stay?
Violet: Sure thing. I’m sure Daisy and Lily left.
Misty: You’ve got it! (Winona walks in the room) Who was that on the phone?
Winona: Oh it’s just Wallace calling me.
Marisa: Where’s he staying?
Winona: At my parent’s house just until the wedding is done. A five year old doesn’t need to be here with all this going on and neither should Stephanie!
Sakura: Who’s Stephanie?
Winona: That’s my daughter.
Sakura: Ah, so you had a girl. What about you guys?
May: Sara’s still my one and only.
Violet: I have number one in here.
Marisa: (Scoffs) Not in this lifetime!
Sakura: Still a virgin?
May: Do you even have to ask?
Sakura: Are you still with Tracey? (She nods) Oh yes, how sweet? Marisa’s still with her high school love, May is married to her high school love and Misty’s about to marry her high school love. Oh love is just so magical. Feh!
Marisa: I take it your love life isn’t going so well.
Sakura: No **** Sherlock!
Marisa: Hey, don’t cop an attitude with me. We’ve all been there at one point in life! Be thankful your boyfriend never played tonsil hockey with his whore of an ex behind your back. (That night)
Misty: I can’t wait to see you!
Ash: I can’t wait to see you too! Just a couple of more days and we’ll be husband and wife and in our new place. (Misty sighs) Something wrong?
Misty: Nothing’s wrong! I’m happy Ash. I really am! Just…a lot is happening and I’m kind of getting overwhelmed…but it’s the good kind!
Ash: Is there such a thing as a good overwhelm?
Misty: (Chuckling) There is! I’ll talk to you later Ash. (Hangs up) I better go eat something or I’ll pass out! (Walks into the kitchen) Huh?
Sakura: Come on…pick up! Please pick up!
Richie: Hello?
Sakura: Richie, I’m sorry! (Dial tone) Richie…Richie! (Sobs)
Misty: Sakura! Sakura! (She cries on Misty) Come on, it’ll be okay! (The next day at the tux shop)
Morrison: My butt itches!
Ash: Stop complaining!
Morrison: And these pants are uncomfortable!
Ash: We heard you the first time so shut up!
Lunick: So, so lucky! Ash is getting married! I only wish Solana and I could…
Ash: Huh? Have you guys…?
Lunick: We’re up to the part where I can fantasize about her and she can go and date other men.
Marcus: Well, May and Drew already went down the aisle! In a couple of days, it’ll be your turn with Misty! Ah! Do I hear wedding bells for Tracey?
Tracey: Idiot! Look, we’ll get married when we’re BOTH ready. It’s just that she wasn’t ready for that commitment!
Marcus: Well no matter how you look at it, you two are definitely next to be hitched.
Brock: You cannot be serious! You mean to tell me that they are going to get married before me and Suzy?
Marcus: You’re still with Suzy? I plum forgot! What with screwing around with Holly!
Brock: All in the past!
Tracey: Yeah and I seem to recall a little escapade involving an art history teacher.
Brock: Hey, nothing happened! I was just a mole for Dean Bertha! And anyways, Suzy and I are together and that’s all that matters.
Marcus: Alright Brock, but one false move and your relationship is… (Morrison farts)
Brock: That’s a paint-peeler! (All groaning)
Ash: Morrison, if you do that during the wedding, I will kill you in front of everyone. Okay, I’m going to change out of these clothes! (He walks away)
Brock: Now onto the bachelor party! I got a stripper! (All groan)
Lunick: Woo-hoo! (Silence) Isn’t…that…good?
Marcus: Not really a good thing to do a stripper. For one thing it is cliché and another thing most of the men here have a good hold on their girlfriends.
Brock: Simple as that! One stripper, plenty of men, one night only! Plus the girls are getting a guy stripper, so as far as I’m concerned it’s a fair game.
Tracey: It is Ash’s last chance of bachelorhood. After that he’s, married and has his rights stripped away until the day he dies or gets a divorce.
Marcus: Way to look on the bright side Tracey! And to think, you were the one who wanted to get married to Marisa.
Brock: It’ll be fun you guys! And not all of Ash’s friends are taken! Lunick and Morrison are still single.
Marcus: That’s because no girl will ever touch them.
Lunick: Okay, if I tell the stripper that I’m a millionaire, do you think she’d give me the time of day?
Brock: And I thought I was pathetic! (Back at Misty’s apartment)
Winona: Mail call!
Misty: Hmm…Oh, this one is from Dawn and Zoey! They’re friends from my senior year in high school! “Congrats to you and Ash and may your wedding day be blessed! Sorry we can’t make it to the ceremony, but we send our love.”
Winona: Hmm…Where’s Sakura? It’s almost noon and she hasn’t come out of her room once!
Misty: She’s probably still sleeping.
Winona: She really seemed down yesterday. Is everything okay?
Misty: Well…not really. (Knock on the door) It’s open!
Lanette: The flowers are in!
Misty: Already? The wedding is in two days and there’s been a heat wave for the last couple of weeks. They’ll wither up and die before the wedding!
Bebe: We’ve got that covered! Tending to all the flowers so they don’t wither up and die! No girl ever wants to have dead flowers on their wedding day!
Misty: I’ll leave them in your care Bebe! I’m going to check on Sakura. (Goes into the room) Sakura, I came to check on you! Huh? She’s gone! (At Marisa’s house)
Marisa: For real? Oh my God! This is just so…Wow! I…I can’t believe it! Thank you so much sir! (Hangs up)
Michelle: Who was that?
Marisa: That was my agent! I got offered a job in San Francisco. The pay is wonderful and I can transfer to one of their schools and work on my B.A. and…Oh I can’t pass this up! This is the best news ever!
Michelle: Funny you should mention that! It just so happens that the job I applied for in that very same city has called me back and offered me a position.
Marisa: What are you trying to tell me? Are you trying to follow me wherever I go?
Michelle: Far from it! You know I’m not going to die in this town! I was a little scared telling you this news because if I went by myself, you were going to stay here in town. But you would be with Tracey. But seeing as we’re both going in the same town, we could find an apartment for the two of us. (Marisa sighs) Is there a problem?
Marisa: No problem at all! It’s just that…I would like to be a little more independent!
Michelle: I understand!
Marisa: But…I don’t like to be alone! Well…let me think now! You and I both have a job in the same city…but the city is super expensive to live there! Solution, we move in together and keep putting up with each others bull-crap until one of us gets married!
Michelle: I can live with that! How are you going to break it to Marcus and Tracey?
Marisa: I don’t know. (Doorbell rings) God, please don’t let it be them. (Michelle opens the door)
Michelle: Nope, it’s another one of your friends!
Marisa: Sakura?
Sakura: Mind if I speak to you…in private?
Marisa: Sure…Um, Mom…If you don’t mind…
Michelle: Fine, fine. I know when I’m not needed! (She leaves the room)
Marisa: So, what’s on your mind?
Sakura: I really need to talk to someone who has experienced something. Misty has no idea with this horrible feeling!
Marisa: Well, stop beating around the bush and tell me what’s going on?
Sakura: Right…What happened the time Tracey cheated on you?
Marisa: You really want to bring that horrible skeleton out of the closet? Fine then! I was distant for one summer due to family issues. I’m away from the city for a couple of weeks and he meets up with his ex. They kiss, Marcus sees, I confront, and we end up breaking up. Every freakin’ time I remember it I get sick!
Sakura: Sorry Marisa. But the consequences of his actions must have resulted in something more.
Marisa: Yeah and for me it ended up with me in the hospital with a burst appendix. All I can say is at least he didn’t sleep with her and that it was just a kiss. Is that why you’ve been so depressed? Did Richie do that to you? Is that what happened?
Sakura: …Maybe it wasn’t a good idea talking to you.
Marisa: Just answer my question! I promise I won’t tell anybody!
Sakura: It’s what happened…but vice versa!
Marisa: You cheated on Richie? (She nods) Oh my God!
Sakura: I didn’t mean to! Like most people say I didn’t mean to do so! It’s just that our relationship was on the rocks and then this guy came into my life and…we ended up having sex! But then I ended up pregnant and the child is most likely not Richie’s. And now my parents know and they want nothing to do with me!
Marisa: …Wow…Just wow! (Sakura sniffles) I’m shocked…and a little irritated! (Growls) Why are you here Sakura?
Sakura: What are you talking about? I’m here to see my best friend get married.
Marisa: No you’re not. You figured if you came back home, you would find someone just as depressed as you are or find someone on cloud nine to bring them down with your crappy life. (She starts to tear up)
Sakura: I’m sorry.
Marisa: (Sighs) Okay, sorry for being so blunt. It’s just that I get some great news and five seconds later I gotta hear this crap. But I will tell you this. I took Tracey back after his ex cheated on him. Remember karma! What goes around comes around! But even though we were apart for months…I still wanted to be with him. I couldn’t stay mad at him. But yes, cheaters get slapped down with karma every once and a while. I would think that you being pregnant would be punishment enough. My only advice would be to talk to Richie.
Sakura: I tried. He won’t talk to me!
Marisa: Understandable! He’s hurt because the one he thought he could trust went behind his back and cheated with another man. Give him some space! Richie’s a very forgiving person and I’m sure he’ll come around. Sad to say, if you’ve been in a relationship for several years and one in the relationship cheats and the other one just can’t seem to let that love go! It happens to a lot of people.
Sakura: Did you become a councilor since the last time I saw you?
Marisa: No, this is actually a result of watching too much Maury. I’ve got stop watching those kinds of train wrecks. Just promise me when you’re getting a DNA test, you won’t go on national television. (Later at the theatre)
Vivian: Great job today! Now get a good night sleep and I’ll see you all tomorrow!
Duplica: Give you a ride home?
Marcus: That’s okay!
Duplica: Oh I get it! I take it you have more chores to do for Ash’s wedding.
Marcus: You can say that! Ash is asking for some help and it’s the least I can do for him. He is a friend and you know if I leave it to him…he’ll just screw it up. The boy is not that bright!
Duplica: Well Ash should be happy to have a friend like you! (Tracey walks up)
Tracey: Ready for the bachelor party? (Marcus gives a nervous laugh)
Duplica: You are not a good liar! (She walks away)
Marcus: Oh thanks a lot Tracey!
Tracey: You should have told her. Hell, Marisa was fine with us going!
Marcus: That’s because the girls have a stripper coming to the bachelorette party! (A little later at the apartment)
Marisa: Stripper, stripper, stripper!
Winona: Oh put a sock in it! Misty’s in the other room and she’s not supposed to know anything until the stripper comes!
Theresa: Hope you ladies brought a roll of dollar bills!
Marisa: I sure did. I was hoping to put this into good use in Vegas…but for some reason I never got the chance to see a strip show.
Daisy: How is it possible that Misty doesn’t have that many girls to come to her own party?
Winona: We sent out invitations! It’s just that most of them can’t make it. (Knock on the door)
Marisa: (Singsong) I’ll get it! (Opens the door) Oh…Come on in!
Solana: Sorry we’re late!
Marisa: (Sighs) The anticipation is going to kill me! (Back at Brock’s house)
Flint: Here we go boys! Beer!
All: BEER!
Flint: Hold it! (Smacks Morrison’s hand) Not for you! You’re only 20!
Morrison: No, I’m of legal age! Here’s my I.D.
Flint: Nice try…Harry Conick?
Brock: So can I throw one hell of a bachelor party or what?
Ash: I’ll give you props Brock! You were able to invite everybody. Except…
Brock: Except?
Ash: I was kind of hoping Richie would be here.
Brock: Hmm…Well I tried to get him to come, but he really didn’t sound too confident about coming.
Ash: Oh that’s too bad. I haven’t seen him for a while and I was really looking forward to seeing him. Hope he at least makes it to the ceremony. (Nearby)
Tracey: Marcus, take it easy.
Marcus: What?
Tracey: You’re drinking quite more than usual!
Marcus: I have not! (Belch)
Tracey: You only do that if you’re nervous about something. Spill it!
Marcus: Come outside with me! (Outside)
Tracey: New York City?
Marcus: That’s right! I get the doggone opportunity to move to the Big Apple.
Tracey: Wow, that’s great! I mean, wow! I don’t know how you would be nervous about that!
Marcus: I have plenty to be nervous about! First of all, I’ve lived here my whole life. My parents are here, my whole family is here! Plus, this is small town crap! New York City is freakin’ huge! And finally…Marisa! Oh boy, she’s going to be devastated if I leave.
Tracey: Marcus, if that’s what you’re nervous about is how Marisa’s going to react then you have nothing to really worry about. I’m sure she’ll support you with this.
Marcus: I hope so because I know her well. She doesn’t really snap to the idea of change. She doesn’t even like it when her favorite shows are put on a different time! (Later at apartment)
Misty: Oh, another thong! Thank you Theresa!
Theresa: Remember, those are edible panties! Cherry flavored!
Misty: Remember guys, marriage isn’t all about kinky sex toys! Marriage is about commitment and honesty and…
May: Yes, we all know that. Tonight is the night about kinky sex toys and **** shaped cakes and chocolates!
Marisa: Thank God for sex shops! (Doorbell ring) Ding dong!
Winona: Did you jack up on sugar before you got here? (She opens the door)
Marisa: What the hell? Richie?!
Theresa: Is that the so called stripper? You got ripped off!
Misty: You guys paid for a stripper? Richie’s the stripper?
Theresa: Alright, we paid for a stripper. Let’s see some skin!
Richie: I’m not a stripper! Misty, is Sakura here?
Misty: Yes she is. (Shouting) Sakura!
Richie: Congratulations on you and Ash. (Sakura walks out)
Sakura: Richie? (They walk outside)
Marisa: Oh, I hope they can work things out.
Man: Excuse me, ma’am!
Marisa: (Gasps) Oh, yes officer!
Man: I received word from the neighbors, complaining about the noise.
Aria: Wait a minute, he’s not from the…
Solana: Shut up!
Man: Well…let’s pump up the noise! (Party music comes on) LET’S PARTY! (Takes off his shirt and the girls scream)
Marisa: Thank you God! Thank you God! (Back at Brock’s house)
Brock: Live from my living room!
Marcus: Who gave you a microphone? (All laughing)
Brock: Shut up Marcus, don’t steal my thunder!
Marcus: Sorry! (Hiccup)
Brock: Ash, in two days you will be married to a wonderful lady. But tonight, we celebrate your bachelorhood one last time. Give it up for Princess Apple! (Hindi music comes on) There’s the bachelor! Get the bachelor!
Todd: Oh baby! (Snaps picture)
Lunick: Time to strut my stuff!
Todd: You stuffed your crotch? Man, you are pathetic!
Apple: Are you ready?
Ash: As ready as I’m ever going to be! (Outside the apartment)
Richie: I never want to see you again.
Sakura: Please Richie…I’m sorry! Can’t you trust me when I say that I’m sorry!
Richie: You are crazy! It just so happens I met this guy you cheated on me with. He told me a few things I didn’t know. Apparently, you guys started having sex in the middle of last year. It explains a few things…Like how I got this ****ing STD!
Sakura: I’m sorry! (Tears up)
Richie: Save your tears for someone who gives a ****! I drove down here to tell you that face to face. To tell you the way you didn’t tell me. Here’s your suitcase with your clothes. I’ll send the rest of your crap to your parents!
Sakura: Please Richie, don’t leave me! (He walks away) Please Richie! (Sobs)
Misty: Sakura! (She falls to the ground sobbing) Sakura, what happened?
Sakura: (Sobbing) He left me! Richie left me! (Misty grabs her)
Misty: Come on, come on!
Sakura: I was sorry Misty! I told him I was sorry! I truly am! I’m sorry! (Back inside)
Daisy: Shake it! Shake it!
Marisa: Yeah boy!
Theresa: Don’t stop till you get enough! (Later at the other party)
Ash: (Hiccup) Oh man! Hit me! (Morrison punches his back) Not that you idiot! (Belch) Ooh boy! I need, I need…to go outside for a bit!
Tracey: Here Ash, let me help you! (Outside) Okay, just get some fresh air! Breathe in! (Ash inhales) And breathe out! (Ash vomits) Ugh! Right on the shoes! Why do you people always aim for my shoes!
Ash: I can’t help it! It’s always on the ground!
Tracey: Fine, fine! I’m going to wash off and you stay out here until you stop with the projectile! (Tracey walks away)
Apple: Are you okay?
Ash: Yeah, just pounded a few! You know! (Gags) Ugh…
Apple: Want to lie down in my car? (She brings him in the car) Here we are! Ash? Oh no he stopped breathing! (Lays him down) Don’t worry Ash, I’ll save you! (She gives CPR) Come on damn it! (Ash opens his eyes and starts kissing her)
Narrator: Oh boy, this isn’t going to end well! (Apple’s bra is thrown) Oh this is so not going to end well! (Ash’s pants are thrown) Oh that is not good! Let’s see how Misty’s night ended! (Misty on the bed with Sakura) That’s hot and at least they have their clothes on! Well let’s just skip ahead to the next morning in the car!
Apple: (Groans) Huh? Oh man…I must have partied a little too hard with the clients. (Looks over) Oh my God! Oh dear…Oh no! I slept with Ash! Oh dear! Okay, gotta ditch the evidence. (She drags Ash out of the car) Okay, good boy! Stay sleeping! (Runs back to the car and drives away)
Ash: (Yawns) Oh man…I am never drinking again! (Turns over) Whoa, this isn’t my bed. This is cement! What the…This isn’t even my house! And what happened to my clothes? (Runs into the house) What the hell is this? (Morrison snoring) I should have known! (Kicks him) Hey wake up! It’s daylight! (Morrison belches and farts) Charming!
Morrison: (Groans) Oh man! That was some good nachos last night! Huh? (Laughing) Hey Ash, I can see your doodle!
Ash: Oh grow up! (He kicks him)
Brock: Ugh! Morrison, your gas is so powerful it can wake up the dead! Whoa Ash, there you are! Looks like you need some clothes! Um, here’s…somebody’s underwear! (He puts it on)
Ash: Did you two stay overnight?
Brock: Yeah, it was just us two! Everyone else went home around midnight. But hey, great party!
Ash: …Yeah…the party! Do you remember the party?
Brock: Boy you must have been drunk! Well…I didn’t see you after Tracey took you outside, but you were truly the life of the party before that. (A little later at Marisa’s house)
Marisa: (Yawns) Oh man, what a hell of a night. (Looks at the clock) Geez, I didn’t realize how late it was!
Michelle: Marisa, come out here.
Marisa: (Groans) I’m sleeping. Can’t it wait until later?
Michelle: You have a visitor.
Marisa: (Sighs) Fine. I’m getting up. (Opens the door) Laura! (They hug) Did you come out here for the wedding?
Laura: Well that and to visit with friends and to help you all with the move!
Marisa: Oh good. I’ve always wanted my very own pack-mule!
Laura: Sure, if you pay me! Half your paycheck will do just dandy!
Marisa: Keep dreaming pipsqueak! (Knock on the door) Wonder who that is! (Opens the door) Tracey!
Tracey: Hey, I just came to check on you. Laura, I haven’t seen you in a while!
Laura: Tracey…I suppose he’s here to help with the move as well.
Tracey: Say what?
Laura: You didn’t tell him?
Marisa: No because I only learned about this yesterday! Tracey, let’s go in the backyard. (They walk outside)
Tracey: What did she mean by packing? Are you moving out?
Marisa: Sort of. Sit down! (They sit) Look…yesterday I got a call from my agent. I got a dream job. I mean it’s right up my alley. The only thing is that, the job is in San Francisco.
Tracey: All…the way out there?
Marisa: Yeah.
Tracey: Wow…I feel like someone punched me in the gut! I’m happy for you…I really am! It’s just…not being able to see you every day! The fact that we’d be away from each other! It’s very depressing!
Marisa: Oh Tracey…
Tracey: I don’t want to risk losing you again!
Marisa: You mean like when we graduated high school? But we’ve grown up a little since then. It doesn’t have to end again… (He grabs her by the hand)
Tracey: Screw what the statistic says! I will always love you! (Marisa gasps) I’ll make it my mission to join you in San Francisco. (She hugs him)
Marisa: Tracey… (Back inside)
Laura: I’m here for less than an hour and those two are still up with the drama.
Michelle: At least they’re not fighting…or at least it doesn’t look that way. (Back outside)
Tracey: Did you tell Marcus?
Marisa: No…not yet. Just you and Laura know! (Sighs) I’m dreading telling Marcus.
Tracey: I’m pretty confident he’ll be happy for you. Just like you’ll be happy for him if he ever gets an opportunity like yours! (Back in Misty’s apartment)
Misty: You feeling any better?
Sakura: (Sighs) I screwed up! I’m sorry I ruined your night.
Misty: It’s okay. I’m not much of a fan of strippers like everyone else. What happened between you and Richie last night?
Sakura: Just him telling me off basically. Just to say it was my fault and that I deserve every bad thing that comes my way. And he’s right! I sleep with a guy for over a year, drop out of school, lie to Richie, and lie to my whole family. And as a result, I end up pregnant, I gave Richie an STD, my whole family hates me, and Richie has kicked me out. I ruined my life!
Misty: Sakura, I’d be lying if I said you didn’t deserve this…but you can do better. What about this guy who might be the father?
Sakura: Well…he’s…in jail as of now.
Misty: Tell me you’re joking!
Sakura: I’m afraid not. (Sighs) I’ve never felt so alone in my whole life.
Misty: You are not going to be alone. I’m going to be there for you!
Sakura: Thanks Misty…I’m sorry. I’m sorry for bringing you down with my problems and whatnot. I’m sorry for it all. This is supposed to be your time to get married…and I’m ruining everything. Just promise me this. Don’t do what I’ve done. Learn from my mistakes…be sure to be good to Ash!
Misty: I will. (At the diner)
Ash: What the hell did I do last night?
Lunick: Hmm…You drank…a lot actually! Danced with the stripper! Oh man, Princess Apple was certainly something else! Smooth and sweet just like Absolut Vodka!
Ash: (Groans) Please don’t say vodka again! Look…I blanked out between the time I went outside and when I woke up! Now something must have happened if I woke up naked in the middle of the driveway. You guys didn’t pull any kind of prank right?
Lunick: Not to my knowledge. Most of us left around midnight! Except for Morrison who just passed out on the floor! Oh, by the way! I got Princess Apple’s phone number. And her autograph picture too! I feel like I won the lottery!
Ash: Good for you! (Gasps and stares at the picture) Oh no!
Lunick: Oh no? (Flashback of Ash having sex)
Ash: Oh man…Oh I really screwed up! (Hyperventilating) Oh God… (Runs into the bathroom) I slept with the stripper? Oh man! I ****ed up! Okay… (Splashes water on his face) No one saw what happened because everyone was too drunk! If no one knows, no one will get hurt. Good, I’ll repress this! Bada-bing, bada-boom! No harm done! Okey-dokey! I just gotta keep this a secret until the day I die. No problem! I’ve got to go puke! (A little later at Misty’s apartment)
Misty: Okay, what do you think! (All gasp)
Lanette: Oh you are going to look so pretty tomorrow. I can’t believe you’re going to be married tomorrow. I’m so happy, I could cry!
Bebe: Okay drama queen. Misty that is the perfect gown and everything is perfect.
Winona: You should have told her sisters that.
Misty: I just had to do a final check and make sure everything fits. I’m just so nervous that we’ll be saying “I do” tomorrow.
Lanette: You know all this talk about marriage is making me wonder!
Bebe: Yeah, keep dreaming! This state is still debating on gay marriage!
Lanette: Fine then…I guess the best I can hope for is Winnie getting married!
Winona: (Blushes) I guess…when Steven gets back…there might be talks of a wedding. (Later over the phone)
Misty: Ash?
Ash: Oh hi Misty.
Misty: How are you feeling?
Ash: Kind of sick to my stomach.
Misty: Yeah, I’m the same way. So many thoughts are racing through my head.
Ash: Same here.
Misty: I can’t wait for tomorrow Ash.
Ash: Same. By tomorrow, we’ll be saying our vows in front of all our friends and family members…I love you Misty.
Misty: I love you too. (The next morning at the church)
Grace: The priest is here and he’s ready when Misty’s ready.
Winona: We’ll be sure to tell him.
May: Okay, you got everything Misty?
Marisa: Let’s go down the list again. You have the something old, the something new, the something borrowed, and the something blue?
Misty: Yes, got em’ all!
Daisy: You have the flowers!
Misty: Check! (At the front of the church)
Lanette: Okay, welcome you guys!
Bebe: May we see your invitation!
Richie: Oh shoot, I don’t have it!
Lanette: No invite, no in! Hit the road spanky! (Ash walks out)
Ash: Girls, we’re going to start soon. Richie! (They hug) I have not seen you in a long time! How have you been?
Richie: Well…I’ve been better! You haven’t seen Sakura around, have you? Oh there she is! (They walk over)
Sakura: Richie?
Richie: (Sighs) I’m sorry for what I said the other night…I think I should at least be there for you. I know none of this stress can be good on you…or the baby.
Sakura: Oh my God Richie! (They hug) Wow, Marisa was right!
Richie: What was that?
Sakura: Nothing…I’m sorry I cheated on you… (Tears up) I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Ash: (Groans) Repress it! Repress it!
Brock: Um, Ash?
Ash: WHAT?
Brock: I just came to check on you and see if you were ready to start.
Ash: Oh…right…sure! Let’s get married! (In the back room)
Winona: Everybody, in your positions! We’re about to go out there! (Brock runs up)
Brock: Wow, this is turning out better than I expected.
Narrator: Ah, yes…the wedding! It’s what most of us readers have been waiting for so long. Misty and Ash…will finally be husband and wife…after they get passed this part.
Priest: Do you Misty, take Ash to be your husband, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, to love and to hold till death do you part?
Misty: I do. (She smiles at Ash)
Priest: Do you Ash, take Misty to be your wife, in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, to love and to hold till death do you part?
Ash: I… (Gulps) …I do…with all my heart!
Narrator: Phew! For a second I thought he was going to pull a James moment! And now…
Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride! (They kiss and everyone applause) May I now present, Mr. and Mrs. Ash Ketchum! (Standing ovation)
Narrator: And now for the reception!
All: Congratulations!
Laura: (Sighs) Misty looks so pretty in her wedding dress. I’m so happy for her. So when are you going to take the plunge?
Marisa: That’s none of your concern!
Laura: Oh, so I take it you asked him and he said no!
Marisa: Wrong twerp! It was the other way around and I’m tired of having to be reminded of it! We’ll get married when it’s the right time.
Laura: I’ll accept that. In the meantime, did you tell Marcus about the you-know-what?
Marisa: Not…yet!
Laura: You had all day yesterday to spill and you didn’t! You know, you really can’t hide this from him forever. Eventually, he’ll catch on when he notices that the house is completely deserted. Maybe I should…
Marisa: Maybe you should butt the hell out of my business! (Sighs) Here goes nothing! (Nearby)
Tracey: No Marcus!
Marcus: What? I’ve only had one!
Tracey: You had three already! (He slaps his hand)
Marisa: Marcus, can I speak to you?
Marcus: Sure. I wanted to speak to you about something. (Outside)
Marisa: Listen Marcus…I know all good things must come to an end. Oh…this is turning out stupider than expected.
Marcus: See…I know when you care about someone they become part of the family and…Oh wait that’s too geeky! (Both give off nervous laugh) Sorry, I got a bit of news. It’s not bad, but it’s pretty big.
Marisa: Same here…
Both: I’m moving! (Gasp)
Marcus: Hey, maybe this’ll be good! I’m moving to New York City!
Marisa: Gamble and lose, San Francisco!
Marcus: What?! Oh man…now that’s even further. But I suppose this move of mine will get me better rolls. But it’s not like I’ll be alone. Duplica is coming with me!
Marisa: Well I’m glad you won’t be alone! As for me, this opportunity is going to be big for me. Who knows? I might even end up an opening act for someone like Chris Rock, or Steve Harvey, or…Oh but I’m getting ahead of myself! So I guess this is the end of an era.
Marcus: Don’t think like that! We still have time before our moves! Plus afterward, we’ll still keep in contact. Technology is advancing and as long as the microchips won’t be implanted in our brain…
Marisa: Oh shut up Marcus. (She giggles) I’ll miss these moments. (Nearby)
Tracey: (Tears up) Well…this is just great. I’m losing a best friend and my girlfriend. But I guess it is for the best…They are going on to do what they want to do. But what’s next for me? What do I do once Marcus goes off to New York and Marisa goes to San Francisco? (Slow song plays) Huh? (Marisa runs back inside)
Marisa: Tracey, want to dance?
Tracey: Sure… (On the dance floor)
Marisa: Tracey…you’ve been rather quiet since I told you the news. Are you sure you’re feeling okay by all this?
Tracey: Absolutely. It’s just going to feel weird not having you or Marcus around. But I am indeed happy for you. (Nearby)
Misty: Oh Ash…I love you so much! We can finally start our life together!
Ash: I love you too Misty! First thing tomorrow…Our honeymoon!
Narrator: Will Ash keep that secret in forever…or will it come out…find out next time for the finale!

Ash: This is the end! The end of our story! My friend, the end! Yes, you heard right. It all comes to an end!
