Eddie looked up, surprised. “Say what?”

Lund nodded. “Yep--sure did! I wanted to bust a cap in him, but missed,” he said, annoyed with himself.

“Hmmm….that reminds me of the time when I busted Cassie and Charles in the shower together. Good thing for Charles, I didn’t have my gun on me because I would NOT have missed. But I had to resort to the power of the fist and busted his ribs real good!” Eddie bragged.

“Eddie, what’s with these girls these days? I don’t remember girls being so easy when I was growing up--do you?”

Eddie shook his head. “Sure don’t. And if Cassie keeps it up, she’s gonna put me right in my grave--I’m telling’ you man…” he sighed sadly.

“Keeps it up? You mean they’re still…..”

“You know they are! Even worse than that, Jenn told me Cassie had a miscarriage while she was away in San Diego! That’s why I’m up in here now!” Eddie admitted.

“Ohhhh…..so that’s the news Jenn was talking about…” Lund murmured to himself.

“Jenn????” Eddie repeated. “You spoke to Jenn recently?”

“Yeah--last night when I was driving her home from the precinct. She said she told you something that upset you and she thinks that’s why you had the heart attack,” Lund blurted out.

“Driving her home from the precinct? What are you talking about, man?” Eddie asked, puzzled.

Then Lund remembered he was supposed to be keeping Jenn’s brush with the law quiet.

“Uh…..well….er…..um…..” he stalled.

“Lunnnnnnd….OUT with it!” Eddie demanded. “Why was my WIFE at the STATION last night?!”

“Okay, Eddie, just calm down. Just calm down.” Lund said before explaining.

(Sorry I took so long been sad and depressed about the whole Michael Jackson dying)

"So Lund explain to Eddie what has happened.  He couldn't believe this is happening to him.

"I have to talk to Jenn this is getting out hand.  My whole family is getting out of hand.  I just don't know what to do anymore." said Eddie.

"You know I'm there if you need me Eddie." said Lund.

"Thanks." said Eddie

Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin went to see Lulu but she wasn't in her lobby then he figured she's probably in the lobby somewhere when he got there he saw everyone watching televison crying including Lulu and Tawanna.

"What's going on?" asked Robin.

"Oh Boo it's horrible." sobbed Lulu.

Robin consoled Lulu.

"Wow what happened?  Y'all act like if everyone lost a close friend." said Robin.

"Robin we just found out that Michael Jackson has died." said Tawanna.

"What oh no." said Robin.

They all watched what has happened.  Everyone was playing tribute to MJ (Check out link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JE7FUZSTU0)

(thanks for the tribute link batman642. i hope ur feeling better)

After watching news reports about MJ's untimely death for hours, Robin couldn't take it anymore and got up to leave the TV room.

"Boo, where you goin?" Lulu asked, not wanting to leave.

"I gotta get out of here, Lulu.  You can stay if you want," he told her as he left.

As he slowly walked back to his room, Robin thought about how life was too short and too uncertain for people to hold grudges against each other--especially people who shared so much like him and Cassie.

When he got back to his room he called her immediately.

Cassie was also distraught over the MJ news and picked up her phone without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hello?"  She sounded sad and tired.

"Cassie it's me, Robin.  Don't hang up alright?" he asked, also sad.

Cassie sighed into the phone.  It was bad enough that the King of Pop was dead, but now she had to deal with someone who was dead to her in her heart.

"Why are you calling me?" she asked, hurting.

"I know you heard the news, Cassie.  This is killing me--what happened to Mike.  But it also made me wake up and smell the coffee.  Tomorrow's not promised to me or you and if anything happened to you--anything bad--like what happened to MJ, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if we were on bad terms, Cassie.  We've gotta talk and set things straight between us," he told her.

"I'm too upset to talk about this now, Robin."

"You don't have to talk--just listen to what I have to say," he told her.

Candygwen

"I know I acted like a total jerk." said Robin.

"You damn right you acted like a jerk...a total jerk.  You really hurt me Robin." said Cassie.

"I know that's because I was upset that you told your mother about us.  I have no idea I have gotten you pregnant and you have suffer miscarriaged.  And I didn't realize you were trying to explain to me why and for that I am really sorry." said Robin.

"I appreciate your honesty Robin but that's not good enough." said Cassie.

"Cassie please if I you were still pregnant I would've been there for you 100000%.  I would've taken care of you and the baby." said Robin.

"And what about our parents Robin you know they would've been very furious with you." said Cassie.

"I don't care.  I would still be there for you and I would have face the responsibility and consequences.  Cassie I have never lied to you.  I always been a great friend to you.  And I never stopped loving you.  And I think about you all the time.  You always been there for me.  You are my special friend and I don't want to lose you.  I want to make it up to you." said Robin.

"And what about Lulu?  Have you ever thought about what would happened if Lulu knew if I ended up pregnant with your child?" asked Cassie.

(No problem Candygwen and I am feeling a little better thanks)

Batman642

(Cool)

"If Lulu ever found out, it would be a total nightmare and we would ALL be messed up--I know.  She can't ever find out,Cassie.  Last time we promised each other to keep it quiet, but when it comes to Lulu she can't EVER find out," Robin stressed.

"That goes for Charles too," Cassie agreed.

Cassie didn't realize that Charles was walking down the hallway and passed her room and heard her mention his name.

He stuck his head in her bedroom doorway and smiled.  "Hey Beautiful.  What goes for me too?" he asked, curious.

"Uhhh........" Cassie stalled, flustered.

"Cassie?  What's wrong?" Robin asked, wondering what was going on at her end.

Candygwen

"Hold on I have interference...Hey Charles oh nothing I was just talking to Lulu and we were just talking about how Robin needs to be more considerate to his girlfriend." lied Cassie.

"You got that right....he got his own girlfriend and he needs to stick to that.  But what that's has to do with me?  I'm always considerate of you beautiful." said Charles as he kissed Cassie.

"Yeah lol must've slipped my mind.  Hey let me talk to Lulu I haven't from heard from a while." said Charles.

"NO...I mean Lulu got class very soon and she can't stay that long." said Cassie.

"Oh I see...well anyway I know it's a depressing day with MJ dying and all but I figured I take you outside and gets some air." said Cassie.

"Thanks but I promise Tay and Lizzie that I watched MJ videos with them.  We'll hang out soon." said Cassie.

"Alright I know family is important but don't keep waiting." said Charles as he kissed Cassie again.

"You know since your fight with Robin I feel so relieved and happy.  I feel that we are so much closer now." said Charles as he left the room.

Cassie was relieved that Charles left.

Batman642

She closed the door to make sure no one else overheard any of her private conversation with Robin, and then she got back on the phone with him.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey!  Everything okay over there?" he asked, concerned.

"Yeah.....I just had a REALLY close call is all...but everything's cool."

"Good."

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds.

"I'm so glad we're back on speaking terms," Robin finally said, breaking the silence.

"It's gonna take me awhile, Robin, for me to get over the way you hurt me.  I was really devastated over the things you said to me.  I've never heard you talk to ANYONE like that before!"

"Like I said, I'm gonna make it up to you," he promised.

"I guess what they say is true...." Cassie sighed.

"What do THEY say?" Robin asked, curious.

"There's a thin line between love and hate," she told him.

"I never should have crossed that line, Cassie," he admitted.

"But you DID," she said rubbing it in.

"Yeah....I did," he said sadly. "And it sounds like you're not gonna forgive me."

"Like I said before, this is really bad timing, Robin.  I'm in a funk over Michael and I can't think straight," she explained.

"I'm in a funk too, but that's why I AM THINKING STRAIGHT.  The way I'm feelng down over Mike---I don't want to ever feel like this over anybody ever again, Cassie.  And like I said, if anything ever happened to you and we were on the outs, I'd go nuts."

"Well, thanks for being honest, and thanks for taking the first step--really.  I know this wasn't easy," Cassie said, softening up a bit.

"So, at least now you know where I'm coming from, Cassie.  I'll give you your space until you're ready to be friends again."

"You mean IF I'm ready to be friends again," she corrected him.

"Come on, Cassie......gimme a break...." he sighed sadly.

"I've already given you a BIG break by not hanging up on you!"

"I appreciate you listening and not hanging up," he acknowledged.

"So are we done for now?  I've got some things to do," she told him.

"Oh!  Most def, Cassie--I don't want to wear out my welcome," he said apologetically.  "Call me whenever," he added.

"Bye Robin."
Candygwen

Cassie sat down on the bed and put her head over her lap and said "Why me."

"Cassie are you coming or not?" yelled Lizzie.

"I'll be down in a minute." said Cassie.

Meanwhile Tay, Lizzie, and Jeron was watching the news.  Tay was getting an idea.

"You know guys we should do some tribute to MJ." said Tay.

"You know for once Tay you have great idea." said Lizzie.

Batman642

Just then, Cassie came down the stairs to join them for videos.

"Tay has a great idea?  Since when?" she teased, trying to cheer up.

"Since MJ died," Jeron replied.

"Ha ha--very funny.  Show some respect for the deceased," Tay told Jeron.  "ANYWAY, Cassie, my idea is to give MJ a tribute."

"How are you gonna do that?" Cassie asked, clueless.

Tay had a strange look on his face.  "I have a friend in the music business.  His name is Rashaad.  He can help us out--I just know it," he said as he quickly glanced at Lizzie and Jeron for moral support.

"Oh yeah....." Lizzie joined in, "RASHAAD can help!  You remember RASHAAD, don't you Jeron?" she asked, giving him a wink.

"Duh.........yeah, yeah, RASHAAD.  I don't think you know Rashaad, do you Cassie?" Jeron asked.

Cassie looked annoyed.  "NO, and I don't WANT to know him.  Keep your little friends to yourselves!  Now are we gonna watch videos or not?"

The three younger ones looked at each other, relieved that they were able to keep Cassie in the dark about Reuben's return.

"WELL???" Cassie repeated, looking at them for an answer.

"Oh, yeah, yeah!  A good video is coming on right now -- Earth Song," Lizzie said as she turned up the tv.

Meanwhile back at Seaschool Robin was pacing around trying figure how to make this up to Cassie.  Then he went in his closet and MJ Billie Jean outfit he wore at Sea School costume ball which him and lulu won first place.  Robin put on the glove and hat.  Cool it still fit.  Then Lulu walked in saw Robin dressing up as MJ.  Lulu started to giggled.  Robin heard and saw Lulu.

"Hey." surprised Robin.

"Boo why are you wearing those clothes?" giggled Lulu.

"I'm want to cheer Cassie up she kinda's down." said Robin.

"What else is new?" laughed Lulu.

"She hurt about the whole MJ.  So I figure I cheer her up a bit." said Robin not telling the real reason why he dressed like that.

"That's sweet.  And you really filled that costume really nice.  No wonder we won first place." said Lulu.

"Yeah and you made one sexy cleopatra." said Robin.

"You got that right." said Lulu.

"And it took less than two seconds for me to take that costume off." joked Robin.

"ROBIN!!" blushed Lulu.

"Well I hope this new laptop with video cam works." said Robin.

"It was nice of your relatives to give you a new laptop to replace the old one you lost in the plane crash." said Lulu.

"Yeah this is in HD which is cool...Um Lulu do you mind? I sort of want to do this privately." said Robin.

"Sure thing Boo. Tawanna and I are going to check on the other girls.  Have fun." aid Lulu as she left.

Batman642

Meanwhile, Danny Marinero receives a phone call from Sage, apologizing for her father's behavior.

"It's cool," he replied.  "I think he was missing on purpose," he said, referring to Lund's shooting.

"Anyway, where are you now?' Sage asked.

Danny couldn't tell her he was at Giselle's.  "I'm not where I want to be---which is with you," he replied slyly.

Sage giggled, flattered.  "I wish you were here too.  I'm down about Michael Jackson," she said getting sad.

Danny hadn't been watching any tv and didn't know anything about the tragedy.

"What are you talking about?" he inquired.

"Are you KIDDING me?  What are you---under a rock or something?  Michael Jackson passed away and it may be drug related," Sage informed him.

"No way!!" Danny responded alarmed.

"I wouldn't lie about something like that," Sage told him.

Being the business man that he was, Danny's mind started to race.  "Something's got to be done in his honor!"

Sage sucked her teeth.  "No kidding!  I think his family has that covered..." she replied sarcastically.

"No!  I mean HERE--in Lincoln Heights!  I've gotta get in touch with the new owner of the Revolution and see if we can throw a bash in Michael's honor!" he said, excited.

"Isn't the Revolution demolished?" Sage asked.

"No. Mr. Morgan's son bought it and it's being renovated.  The last time I saw it, it was practically finished, and it would be the perfect place for us to do something to remember Michael and at the same time raise money."

"Mr. Morgan's son bought it?  You mean ROBIN???" Sage asked surprised.

"Yeah, and I need to get in touch with him to get his permission to organize a Lincoln Heights MJ Celebration," Danny said.

"Don't worry--I know how to reach Robin," Sage volunteered.  "Just leave it to me."

"Thanks babe.  I'll stay in touch," Danny promised.

"You'd better.  We have unfinished business," she said reminding him about their last date.

After her conversation with Danny ended, Sage put her plan into action to find Robin.  If anyone would know how to reach Robin, it would be Cassie Sutton.  So Sage's first step was to call Tay--her closest link to Cassie.
Candygwen

Soon Tay's cell phone rang and it was Sage.

"I'll be back guys." said Tay.

Tay went into the kitchen and answer the phone.

"Hey Tay sweetie it's me Sage." she greeted as she begins to flirt.

"Hey Sage did you listen to the CD?" asked Tay.

"Oh sure it was nice." lied Sage.

"So Sage whatsup?" asked Tay.

"I really need a big favor from you." said Sage.

"Sage you know I'll do anything for you." said Tay.

Batman642

"Thanks Tay, I was hoping you'd say something like that," Sage told him.

"What do you need?" Tay asked, eager to come to her rescue.

"Wellllll....I guess you heard the sad news about Michael Jackson?" she asked.

"Yeah...I'm trying to get a tribute together for him," he told her.

"Get out!  For real?" she asked, surprised by the coincidence.

"Yeah for real.  Why?"

"Well Tay, that's exactly why I'm calling!  A friend of mine wants to do the same thing and would like to have it at the Revolution. So I was wondering if you could get me Robin Morgan's number? I understand he owns the Rev since his dad passed away," Sage explained.

"Sage you just gave me a great idea.  The Rev is a perfect spot for MY MJ tribute!  As a matter of fact, why don't we just put our heads together and combine our tributes?  I'll get my sister to call Robin, and I know he'll say yes!" Tay said excited.

"Cool!  And then you'll get back to me, right?"

"Sure thing Sage! Talk to you later!"

Tay and Sage both hung up happy.  Tay went back and joined the others in front of the tv and told them the latest developments, but left out the part about Sage.

"Looks like we don't have to bother Rashaad afterall.  Robin owns the Rev so he can hook us up!" he said.

At the mention of Robin's name, Cassie looked at Tay and did a double take.  "ROBIN?!" she asked alarmed.

"That's a GREAT idea!" Lizzie joined in.

"No it's not!" Cassie disagreed.

"What's wrong with you, Cassie?  It is so a great idea!" Lizzie argued.

"Yeah, Cassie, I thought you'd be happy!" Tay said, surprised at her negative reaction.

Cassie had to think fast to come up with a reason why she was anything BUT happy.  "Robin is far away in Sea School is all...." she said.

"So???!  He doesn't have to DO anything!  The Rev is practically all fixed up so he just has to give us the okay!" Tay reasoned.

Lizzie got up and grabbed Tay's hand, pulling him away from the tv.  "Come on, Tay.  Forget Cassie!  I have Robin's number!  We can call him right now!" she said.

"Cool!" Tay said as they ran up the stairs to Lizzie's room.

"No!!  Wait!!" Cassie objected as she started to get up from the floor and chase after them.

"Cassie, what's your problem?" Jeron asked as he followed her up to Lizzie's room.

"Oh you wouldn't understand!" she said upset.

When she got up to Lizzie's room, it was locked so she pounded on the door.  "Lizzie!! Tay!! Open up!!" she demanded.

But they ignored her and soon had Robin on the other end of the phone trying to convince him to give them the go ahead to have an MJ Tribute at the Rev.

Candygwen

"Wow that's a great idea." said Robin on the phone.

"So Robin are you going to do it?" asked Lizzie.

"Of course I'm a huge MJ fan and plus you and Tay are my little buddies." said Robin.

"Thanks Robin I knew we count on you." said Lizzie.

"Wait a minute don't celebrate just yet.  I still have to take of few things. I have to finish taking my finals and I really want to see how the new Rev look when get back.  And I will have to talk to the headmaster if I can leave early after I finsih taking my final exams." said Robin.

"Alright do what you can but we really need you.  Do you want to talk to Cassie?" asked Lizzie.

"Hmm not right now I have to get back and study." said Robin as he tried to give Cassie her space.

"Oh okay see you soon Robin." said Lizzie hanging up.

"We are so in business." said Lizzie as hi five Tay.

Cassie continued to banged on the door.

Batman642

As Robin got off the phone, he thought to himself that this would be a wonderful way for him to make up with Cassie, and that he coulld do it in person at the Rev instead of with the webcam.  But since he had his outfit on, he decided to practice his dance moves anyway before hitting the books to study.

Back at the Antoni house, Lizzie and Tay can't believe how Cassie is behaving over their idea.  Tay decides he'd better not say anything just yet to either of his sisters about Sage's involvement.  Little does he know that Sage is keeping Danny's involvment a secret from him.

Sage is also keeping Tay's involvement a secret from Danny.

"Danny, I just got off of the phone with a close friend of Robin Morgan, and gues what?" she asks excitedly over the phne.

"What babe?"

"We got it!!  We got the Rev for the Tribute celebration you want to organize!" she told him.

"Oh Sage....that's great!  I owe you BIG TIME!" he promised.
Candygwen

"I know." said Sage with a big grin.

"Meanwhile back at Marla's house Charles notice that was upset and he saw her stormed to her room and slammed it.

"Can't believe that Tay and Lizzie is ruininng my life.  I'm going to kill them." she said to herself.

"Wow she must sibling problems again." said Charles clueless as he overheard.

Then Charles had an idea so went to the nursery and got the twins.  Come on kids it's time to play with mommy.

'Yay." cheer Colin and Kalie.

Batman642

The solution Charles came up with was just what Cassie needed.  He brought them into her room and the four of them rolled around on the floor playing togehter and laughing together until they were all exhausted.

As they lay on the floor trying to catch their breath, Cassie took a good look at Charles and felt more attracted to him than she had felt in a long time.  As he lay there peacefully with his eyes closed, a slight smile on his face, and Kalie falling asleep on his chest, Cassie reached out and gently touched the side of his face.  He opened his eyes and looked over at her laying next to him on the floor with Colin on top of her, sleeping.

"I love you, Charles," she said quietly.  "Thanks for being here for me.  I know how much you wanted to go to Utah."

"It's okay, Beautiful.  As long as we're all together---that's the main thing," he assured her.

"Yes....but....."

"But what, Cassie?"

"Let's put the kids down for a nap so it's just you and me," she suggested as she carefully got up from the floor without waking Colin.

Charles got up just as carefully with Kalie.  "Just you and me?" he asked her anxiously as they walked to the nursery.

"Yes, Charles.  Just you and me," she repeated.

They put the twins in their cribs and left the nursery, closing the door behind them.  As they stood in the hallway, they could hear Lizzie, Tay and Jeron singing along with the tv downstairs.  Nate was gone to work and Jenn, Marla and Dana had all gone to the hospital together to visit Eddie.

Charles hugged and kissed her softly.  "Are you sure you're feeling alright, Beautiful?"

Cassie nodded.  "Yes, I feel fine, and I miss being with you, Charles," she said with a certain sadness.

Charles held her in his arms for awhile, neither one of them saying a word.  "We've been through alot, Cassie....." he said finally.

"I know.  I can't believe I almost lost you, Charles."  She shuddered a little, thinking about the events of the past few months.

"And then I almost lost you.  But let's not talk about that now," he added, holding her even closer.

"You're right.  Let's just enjoy some alone time while we can," she suggested as she took his hand and led him towards the bedrooms.

"Your room or mine, Beautiful?" he asked.

Cassie smiled, mischief in her eyes.  "How about one of the guest rooms, Charles?  The bed is bigger."

Charles grinned.  "You ARE feeling better, aren't you?" he teased as they went into an empty guest room and closed the door behind them.
Candygwen

Meanwhile Jenn, Marla and Dana  arrived at the hospital to see Eddie.

"Well I see you are in a better mood and more sane.  I guest it safe to let you through." said the nurse sarcasticly.

"Don't start with me please.  Just let us see my husband." said Jenn.

"Alright what was your husband thinking marrying woman like her?" asked the nurse.

Meanwhile Eddie and Lund was playing cards and watching televison.

"Isn't anything else on besides playing all this MJ stuff?" frustrated Lund.

"Show some respect will you.  The man just died." said Eddie.

"Alright alright your deal." said Kevin Lund.

Batman642

The door to Eddie's room opened while he was dealing, and the three women stepped inside.

"Well......isn't this a nice surprise?  Beautiful, Gorgeous and Heavenly!  You ladies look better than the Supremes ever looked!" Lund complimented them.

The three women smiled and blushed.

"That's my ex-partner for you---full of game!" Eddie chuckled.

"What you mean GAME?  We ARE Beautiful, Gorgeous and Heavenly!" Dana scolded Eddie.

Everyone laughed.  Jenn went over and gave Eddie a long and passionate kiss.  Then she asked. "How ya feeling, Babe?"

"After THAT??  Clear the room and I'll show you how I'm feeling," he answered, hoping everyone would leave them alone.

"Yeah, well keep dreamin, Eddie Sutton.  We ain't goin NOWHERE!  Right Marla?" Dana fussed.

Marla laughed.  "Leave me outta this!  I'm not one to come between a man and his wife!"

Dana shot Marla a look.  "Yeah.....RIGHT!" she said sarcastically.

"Ladies.......behave yourselves!" Lund warned playfully.  "And Eddie....CONTROL yourself.  You just had a heart attack."

"Hmph!  That don't mean I'm dead, Lund," Eddie replied with an attitude.

"Seriously, Eddie, how are you feeling?" his wife asked again as she sat on his bed.

"Jenn, I am SO READY to get outta this joint, I don't know what to do with myself!  I feel fine!  Honest!  My pressure just went up when you told me about Cassie," he explained.

"Well we don't want that to happen again so let's talk about SOMETHING ELSE," she hinted, not wanting Marla to find out.

Eddie caught on.  "Oh, right, right.  You're right.  So.....uh.....MARLA....I didn't expect to see you.  Thanks for the visit!"

"Eddie, I haven't forgotten how you helped me out with Mike.  And now that we're all under one roof, you're family to me  OF COURSE I'm gonna visit you!" Marla said.

"Speaking of us all living under one roof, we're gonna be going back to our own house in Lincoln Heights soon, Marla," Eddie informed her.

"That's too bad.  I wish you guys could just stay," Marla admitted sadly.

"Eddie, will you be up to making the move?" Jenn asked, concerned.

"Jenn, stop worryng will you?  I TOLD you, I feel fine!  And I also promised you that when you got back from San Diego we'd go back to our house," he reminded her.

"I just don't want you to have a relapse, Babe," she answered.

"Maybe she's right, Eddie.  Maybe you shouldn't be in such a rush," Marla agreed.

"Look, if Eddie says he feels fine, he feels fine.  Right Eddie?" Dana asked bluntly.

"The house is gonna be so empty...." Marla sighed.

"Empty?  I ain't going nowhere!  You still got me and my two sons and your own son to keep you company, girl," Dana replied.

"Well now that that's settled, how about you pretty ladies joining us in a game of cards?" Lund asked, changing the subject.

"I'm down," Dana agreed.

"Sure why not?" Marla replied.

Jenn hesitated.  "I don't know if I can concentrate on cards right now," she said, concerned about Eddie.

Eddie looked at her, a bit annoyed.  "Jenn, a good game of cards is EXACTLY what you need.  You're so uptight," he complained.

"Sorry, Eddie.  Sorry I'm not happy go lucky like your girl DANA here!" Jenn snapped at him.

There was an awkward silence in the room after that, and everyone felt uncomfortable.
Candygwen

"Whoa Whoa Whoa where is all this coming from?" asked Eddie.

"Wow I know where this is going so I better go and grab a bite to eat." said Lund.

"Me too." said Marla.

"Wait a coming with you." said Dana.

"Be careful Lund, Dana been around with so many men maybe carrying something after all she was a prostitute." said Jenn.

"Oh no she didn't." angered Dana.

"Jenn you are out of line." said Eddie.

"I know you did not say what you think you have said." snapped Dana.

Batman642

"I'm just telling the TRUTH.  Do you have a problem with the TRUTH?" Jenn snapped back.

"Oh???  So you wanna start telling the TRUTH???  Because if you REALLY want some TRUTH, I'll GIVE YOU SOME TRUTH, JENN!!" Dana shouted.

"Dana, YOU wouldn't know the truth if it knocked you upside the head!  I didn't forget that you LIED to me about talking to Cassie's doctor---which I found out YOU NEVER DID!!  So don't offer to give me some truth now---it's too late for that."

"Oh come on you two---stop it!!" Marla demanded as she stepped in between them.  "You'll upset Eddie!"

Marla grabbed Dana's arm and whisked her out of the room.  "Kevin are you coming?" she asked.

As Lund followed the two women he turned and in a rush said,  "Eddie--get well soon, man.  I'll be in touch!"

Jenn and Eddie were left in the room alone.  Eddie looked bewildered.  "Jenn---what in the world just happened here?"

She didn't know what to say.

"Jenn---how could you embarrass Dana like that?  She was nice enough to get me here in time to save my life, she came twice to see how I was doing, and this is the THANKS she gets from you?  How could you, Jenn?" Eddie asked, stunned.

"How could she lie to me about our daughter, Eddie?  I trusted her to fill in for me with the doctor and she lied to me!" Jenn complained.

"And I suppose two wrongs make a right?  Just because she did wrong, it's okay for you to do wrong?  Is that how it goes?"

"I didn't do wrong, Eddie.  I just spoke the truth," she insisted.

"Woman, you are really a piece of work sometimes...." Eddie said as he shook his head and blew off some steam. 

"Well.......you DID tell me to clear the room," Jenn replied, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah I did, didn't I?  But I didn't mean like that!" he complained.

"I guess I went overboard, huh?" Jenn admitted reluctantly.

"Ya THINK Jenn?"

"Sorry," she said, ashamed.

"Try telling that to DANA," he suggested.

"I will, Eddie.  I promise I will---later tonight," she assured him, hoping to get back on his good side.

Eddie looked at her for awhile without saying anything, intentionally making her feel uneasy. 

After awhile, he decided she'd suffered enough and he held out his arms.  "Come over here and gimme another one of those Jennifer Sutton kisses!" he said with a sly smile.

Relieved, Jenn approached his hospital bad.  "You mean you're not mad?" she asked sheepishly.

Eddie chuckled.  "It's not me you've gotta worry about!" he warned, amused.

Meanwhile, Marla and Lund were in the hospital cafeteria with Dana, trying to calm her down.
Candygwen

"I swear if she wasn't marry to Eddie or if she wasn't Cassie's mother right now I would snap her neck into two." angered Dana.

"Dana please calm down." said Marla.

"Calm Down?  That helfa insulted me and accused me of lying about Cassie." said Dana.

"Did you lied about Cassie?" asked Lund.

"NO I DIDN'T." yelled Dana.

"But why does Jenn think Cassie was lying?" asked Marla.

" I just told Jenn what Cassie and the nurse told me.  I don't know what the hell is going on?" asked Dana.

"I think there's only one person who do knows and that person is Cassie." said Marla.

"And I was suppose to talk to her." said Dana.

"But first you need to straighten things out with Jenn." said Kevin.

"Uh uh no Jenn is the one that needs to be straighten out.  I did nothing wrong." said Dana.

Back at the Antoni residence, Tay, Jeron and Lizzie have had their fill of MJ videos for one day and turn off the tv.

"We've gotta start figuring out what we're gonna do for our tribute," Tay told the other two.

"And I've gotta call Kendra," Lizzie added.

Tay and Jeron turned to her with a look of surprise.

"Y'all two sure are becoming fast friends," Jeron remarked, puzzled.

"What can I say?  Us girls gotta stick together..." Lizzie replied as she dialed Kendra, her new "friend."

Then Nate return back from work.

"Hey Nate back so soon?" asked Lizzie.

"I'm on my lunch break so I decided to make myself a quick sandwhich and head back." said Nate.

"Wouldn't it make more sense for you to make lunch before you go to work?" asked Tay.

"Tay leave Nate alone." annoyed Lizzie.

"Well I also forgot my cellphone.  I think I left it in one of the guest rooms.  I better go get it." said Nate as he went upstairs.

As soon as went upstairs in one of the guest he heard some noises as he opened the door and saw a shirtless Charles and Cassie in her bra and panties making out.

"OMG!!" yelled Nate.

"Dammit." snapped Charles.

Batman642

Downstairs, Tay, Jeron and Lizzie heard the commotion  and raced upstairs to see what was going on.

Jeron was the first one to enter the guest room and caught a glimpse of Cassie before she was able to put her clothing back on.

"DAAAAAANGG!!!!" he cried out, shocked.

Next Lizzie came rushing through the door.  "What happened?!"  Then she saw her sister scrambling to put her pants on.

"Cassie???  OMG I can't BELIEVE you!!!" Lizzie scolded.

Tay was trailing right behind Lizzie as he also burst into the guest room and saw his humiliated older sister and Charles.

"No way!!  Y'all were up here knocking boots??!!" he asked, outdone.

"Would everybody just GET OUT???!!" Charles shouted.

"Nah, man, you ain't right!  You had my moms gettin' on me about house rules the other night because Kendra was here, and you ain't even following the house rules!" Jeron accused angrily.

"You guys.......PLEASE.....don't tell our moms or dad!!" Cassie begged, frantically buttoning her shirt.

"Yeah, especially MY MOM!  She'll freak if she finds out we were in her precious guest room!" Charles said, annoyed.

"Well if you don't want us to tell, Cassie, get ready to do us some BIG favors!" Lizzie warned.

Nate was just standing there shaking his head, disappointed in Chassie.

"I'm getting my cellphone and I am going back to work." said Nate as he grabbed his cell.

"You not going to tell?" asked Charles.

"Hey, you two never saw me." said Nate as he left.

Soon as Cassie got fully dressed she took Lizzie took to her room and slammed the door.

"Alright you little blackmailer what do you want this time?  I'm not lending you anymore of my clothes." said Cassie.

"Oh it's more than that." said Lizzie.

"What?  Out with it Lizzie." snapped Cassie.

"We want you to help us with MJ tribute." said Lizzie.

Batman642

"Oh God no, Lizzie---not THAT!!  ANYTHING but THAT!!" Cassie responded, panicked.

"You're such a drama queen, Cassie---Geez....You should be glad to help us out!  It'll be just like when we had the talent show at the Rev!  You liked that, didn't you?" Lizzie tried to persuade her.

"Things are different now, Lizzie!" Cassie explained.

"Yeah, I know---things are even BETTER now!  Now ROBIN owns the Rev and he's our FRIEND so everything will turn out great--not like last time when Lulu wound up with a broken leg because of stupid Sage.  This time, everything will work out just the way we plan!  Why wouldn't you want to be a part of something that ROBIN is sponsoring?"

Before Cassie could answer, Lizzie continued....."Oh!  Is it because Charles and Robin don't get along?"

Cassie was relieved she could use that as an excuse.  "Yes, Lizzie, that's EXACTLY why.  That's what I love about you, Lizzie--you're so smart!" Cassie flattered her.

"Yeah, well, I'm not buying that reason, Cassie.  I know they don't get along, but I'm sure they can put aside their differences for the King of Pop.  So.....unless you want mom, dad and Mrs. A to know that we caught you and Charles doing the nasty in the guest room, you had BETTER help out with our tribute---NO MATTER WHAT," Lizzie insisted.

"Lizzie......" Cassie whined, "PLEASE!" Cassie continued to beg.

Lizzie adamantly shook her head.  "I mean it, Cassie.  I'll talk to Charles if you want me to and explain that it's not about Robin or him or you -- it's all about Michael," she offered.

"NO!!!  Don't say ANYTHING to Charles about this---you hear me?  Just let me handle it."

Lizzie looked doubtful.  "Psssshhhhh!  Yeah, right, 'cause you HANDLE things so well..." she replied sarcastically.

Cassie was reaching her boiling point with her sister.  ""Lizzie, I swear to God sometimes I just want to kill you!"

Lizzie smiled sweetly, trying to aggravate her sister even more as she opened the door to leave the bedroom.

"Oh and by the way Cassie.....I just LOVE that thong of yours!   It's just SO SEXY...." she said, mocking.

Cassie picked up a book and hurled it at Lizzie, who ducked.  "GET OUT!!!" Cassie screamed, humiliated, angry and worried.

Lizzie laughed and closed the door.

Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin, Lulu, and Tawanna just finished their last final exam.

"Wow that last exam was a killer." said Tawanna.

"Yeah I thought would never finish." said Lulu.

"That exam seem easy to me." said Robin.

"You are such a nerd." said Tawanna.

"Don't callin' my boo a nerd.  He's very smart." said Lulu.

"Don't mind her she just mad she can't beat me in Dragon's Liar 2." said Robin.

"Whatever Robin!!! That game is just stupid." said Tawanna.

""You just don't know how to play." said Lulu.

"Hey let grab something to eat these exams made hungry." said Robin.

"So what are your plans for the summer?" asked Tawanna.

Batman642

"I'm heading back to Lincoln Heights ASAP.  The kids want to have an MJ Tribute at the Rev," Robin replied.

"Oh cool!!  You can count me in!" Lulu said, excited.

"Thanks, babe.  I knew I could count on you," Robin told her giving her a quick kiss as they walked to the dining room.

"What about me?" Tawanna asked, pouting.

"That's a good question, T.  Are you in or out?" Lulu asked her back.

"Can you sing or dance?" Robin asked Tawanna.

Tawanna looked at him, insulted.  "Excuse you?  I should be asking YOU that question!"

"Oh T, don't go getting all offended!  He's just ASKING!" Lulu defended Robin.

"Tawanna, you don't remember the MJ routine I did out a the beach house party last fourth of July?" Robin asked her.

"Nope, sure don't," Tawanna replied with an attitude.

Now Robin was insulted.  "Well YEAH I can dance.  Now what about you?" he repeated.

"Yes, yes, yes!  Jesus!  I can dance and I'll be in your little show---okay?" she answered, annoyed.

"You are SO difficult...." Robin told her.

"Just ignore her, Boo...." Lulu said.

"Can we just eat?" Tawanna suggested as they brought their trays to a table and sat down.

"After the show is done, I'm thinking about heading out to Miami," Robin announced.
Candygwen

"Why Miami Boo?" asked Lulu.

"Hmm I don't know I just need somewhere to think and clear my head." said Robin.

"So you can think about Cassie." said Tawanna.

"Tawanna you're pushing it." warned Lulu.

"Acctually I never really been around Miami before and I figured it'll be a good time to explore around this town." said Robin.

'And also think about our wedding plans." said Lulu.

"Yeah and that too." said Robin as he almost forgot about his engagement.

"Are you really sure you're ready to get married?" asked Tawanna suspiciously.

"Of course he is and I want to spend my time with him in Miami." said Lulu.

Soon food arrived and they began to eat.

Batman642

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Lund, Marla and Dana have finished their coffee and are ready to leave the cafeteria.

"So---should we go back up to visit with Eddie some more, or just leave?" Marla asked.

"Well, you ladies do what you want.  I'm outta here," Lund told them as he walked away.

"Dana?"  Marla asked.

"Let's just go home, Marla.  We showed our faces---Eddie knows we care----that's good enough," Dana decided.

"Okay, fine.  But do you really want to go HOME?  Why don't we do something?" Marla suggested.

"Like what?" Dana asked.
Candygwen

"A little shopping wouldn't hurt." said Marla.

"Girl you just read my mind." said Dana.

"So to the mall?" asked  Marla.

"Well it's summer...hell yeah." said Dana.

Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin, Lulu and Tawanna was enjoying their lunch when they saw the Headmaster.

"Wonder what our Headmaster doing here?" asked Tawanna.

"Maybe because it's a restuarunt and he's hungry." said Robin sarcasticly.

"He's coming over here." said Lulu.

"Robin I want a word with you alone." said The Headmaster.

"Okay." surprised Robin.

Robin went with the Headmaster to talk with him privately.

"I wonder what he want with him?" asked Tawanna.

"How should I know." said Lulu eating her fries.

"Whatsup." asked Robin.

"Actually I want to congratulate you on how well you did this semester.  You one of the highest ranks in our class.  Even with your long league absence and your freak accident you were still able to keep with your school work. Most people would use the funeral and the plane crash as an excuse or a cop out to get out of work but you did the opposite.  I'm really proud of you Robin." said The Headmaster.

"Thank you sir." said Robin.

"Did you ever try to straighten things out with your ladyfriend?" asked the Headmaster.

Batman642

"Yessir, I did what you said.  I reached out to her and tried to break the ice.  She's coming around---slowly," Robn replied uncomfortable discussing the topic.

"Good, good, glad to hear it," the Headmaster said as he patted Robin on the back.

"But could we not talk about this here, Sir?  I wouldn't want it to get out somehow...." Robin said, concerned.

"Not a problem," the Headmaster assured him.  "Enjoy your Summer, son."

"You too, Sir," Robin said as he walked back to join his friends.

When he sat down, Lulu and Tawanna were looking at him strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Robin asked them.

"Boo, are you okay???" Lulu asked, concerned.

"I'm fine--why?"

"Rob, man.....you are as white as a GHOST!" Tawanna informed him.  "What did he say to you?"
Candygwen

"Oh nothing he just told me that I have done so well this semester that he is proud of me and he told me to have a great summer." said Robin.

"Like I say before you are such a nerd." said Tawanna eating her burger.

"Will you stop calling him that!!!!  He's bright person.  And hopefully he will make the honor roll." said Lulu.

"You got that right babe." said Robin.

Tawanna was getting suspicous.

"He's hiding something and I'm going to find out one way or the other." said Tawanna to herself.

"Hey wanna Tawanna want to play Dragon's Liar 2 one last time?" asked Robin.

"I sure will and you better not cheat." said Tawanna.

"Please I'm a pro and I think I am able to beat this game this time." said Robin.

"OMG let me tell everybody." said Lulu.

Batman642

Lulu rounded everyone up and before long they were all in the game room ready for the showdown between Robin and Tawanna.

Meanwhile back at the mall, Dana and Marla are watching some kids breakdance to MJ's songs.
Candygwen

"I never realize these kids are so talented." sai Marla.

"Hey you heard those kids sing beofre." said Dana.

"You know despite all the B.S. and controversy that man has gone threw he really have positive and great influence on the children. Young and old." said Marla.

"He will never be forgotten." said Dana.

"Hey join them." said Marla.

"Okay." said Dana.

Soon the kids spotted Dana and Marla.

"I see you kids are enjoying MJ music." said Dana impressed.

Batman642

As she and Marla continued watching, she felt a strong hand touch her on her shoulder.  When she turned to see whoit was, she was shocked to see her son, Nate.

"Boy!  Are you trying to give me a heart attack or something?" she reprimanded him.

"Sorry, Mom.  What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Me?  I'm shopping with my friend, Marla here.  Now what are YOU doing here?  I thought you were supposed to be at work!"

"I am at work," he replied.

"Your new job is at the Mall?" Dana asked, suprised.

"That's right.  I do undercover security.  So don't do any shoplifting or I'll have to arrest you," he teased.

"Hmph!  The days of me being a booster are long gone, Nate.  But I was good in my day, lemme tell you..." she bragged.

"What's a booster?" Marla asked, clueless.

Nate and Dana looked at each other and chuckled.

"Nevermind..." Dana told her friend.

Meanwhile back at Sea School at the game room Robin and Tawanna was playing Dragon's Lair 2.  Tawanna barely got passed level 2 but Robin supassed Tawanna and got to the final level.  Everybody was cheering for Robin.

"Careful Robin this is how you messed up the last time." said Lulu.

Robin vision Princess Daphne as Cassie again.  He tried not t get to him so instead of thinking negative and thought odf something positive things about Cassie and he ended winning the game.  He ended having the highest score.  Everybody was cheering including Lulu.

"That's my boo." said Lulu as she kissed Robin.

"This should be a sporting event instead of poker." joked Robin.

Batman642

"What Boo?  The dragon's lair or the kissing?" Lulu joked back.

"What do you think?" he asked with a wink.

Back at the Antoni's, Charles is brooding over the fact that he and Cassie were interrupted.  He decides he needs some fresh air.  Before leaving, he knocks on Cassie's bedroom door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Beautiful.  You decent?" he asked.

"Come in Charles."

"I'm going out for awhile.  You and the twins wanna come?" he invited her.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Anywhere but here, Cassie..." he sighed.

Candygwen

Sure there are too many people in this house anyway." said Cassie.

"Things was alot better when we had our own apartment." said Charles.

"Tell me about it." said Cassie.

Meanwhile back at the mall Dana and Marla was enjoying themselves then Marla received a phone called.  It was Bill.

"OMG it's Bill how's my hair look?" asked Marla.

"Girl you are talking a cellphone he can't see you." said Dana.

Marla answered the phone.

"Hey Darling I missed you." said Bill.

Batman642

"I've been away, Bill.  I just got back in town a couple of days ago," Marla explained.

"I'm out of town myself, but I'll be back soon," he replied.

"Is everything alright?" Marla asked.

"Sure---just a business trip.  I think I might have some work for that adorable granddaughter of yours when I get back."

"Great.  Let her mom and dad know," Marla suggested.

"And I'd like to see you again, Marla," he added.

Marla smiled.  "Great."

"Maybe we can go salsa dancing again."

"I'd love that," she told him.

They set a date for their next Salsa evening and when Marla got off of the phone, Dana was staring her down with her hand on her hip.

"What's wrong with you?  Jealous?" Marla asked.

"Ha!  You wish I was jealous!" Dana replied.

"Well then WHAT?"

Dana shook her head.  "You white women are just too nice!  Make him work for it, Marla!"

"I don't know what you're talking about Dana."

"I'm talking about how you're just so HAPPY to hear from him and telling him how GREAT  it is that you all go out again and how you'd LOVE IT," Dana explained.

"So what's wrong with that?  It's true...."

"Well what about the fact that he hasn't called you in a good month or more?  He's got some nerve, Marla!  What has he been doing all this time?  Your son almost died in the hospital, Cassie was sick in the hospital, you had to fly to San Diego, and where was Bill through all of this?" Dana asked.

"He's not my husband, Dana.  We hardly know each other!  I can't expect him to deal with all of my drama.  Not yet at least!" Marla defended herself.

"Well he still could've called you to see if you were alive!" Dana argued.

"He did.  He just called me---okay?  Now drop it," Marla told her.

"Hey---it's dropped," Dana replied.

Meanwhile Charles and Cassie was enjoying their outside walking in the park with twins getting from fresh air.


"This is exactly what I needed I walk in the park.  Thanks Charles." said Cassie.

"I bet Robin never did that for you." said Charles sh
