Pick up from 35

Lulu decided she didn't have time to worry about Cassie's mood swings.  I guess it's because I woke her up.....she thought as she hurriedly packed the rest of her belongings.

Tawanna stuck her head into the room.  "Lulu, girl, you better hurry it up!  We're practically the last ones left on this ship!"

"I"m almost done, T!  Is Robin ready?"

"What do I look like to you?  How should I know about YOUR man?"

"Arrggghhh!!!  T, for once in your life could you PLEASE cooperate?" Lulu asked, frustrated.

Tawanna laughed.  "You so stupid, Lulu!  Don't you know when I'm joking YET???"

Annoyed, Lulu started swearing under her breath as she threw clothing into her travel bag.

"I'll go check on Rob," Tawanna volunteered, snickering.

"Gee THANKS!" Lulu replied sarcastically.

Tawanna ran down the hall to Robin's room and pounded on his door.  "Yo Rob!  Open up!!" she yelled.

Inside his room, Robin cringed at the sound of Tawanna's voice on the other side of his door.

"Remember what Lulu said be nice." said Robin to himself.

Robin opened the door.

"Hey T whatsup?" asked Robin with a smile.

"Lulu wanted to know if you are ready yet." said Tawanna.

"Of course everything is packed and my suitcases are ready.  Let me turn off my laptop. And I will head out with you girls." said Robin.

"Okay Robin may I have word with you?" asked Tawanna.

"What's on your mind Tawana?" annoyed Robin.

"Look I know I may always seem harsh and I'm always on your case about you and Cassie. You have to understand that both Cassie and Lulu are my girls especially Lulu.  And I just don't want to see her get hurt that's all.  I really need to ask you this and please honest Robin...do you have feelings for Cassie and are sure you want to marry Lulu?" asked Tawanna.

"That's two question Tawanna." said Robin.

"Please Robin this is serious if you have feelings for Cassie then you need to stop playing games with my girl Lulu and call off the engagement." said Tawanna.

Robin pause for a second and finally spoke.

"The only feelings I have right now is Lulu." said Robin.

"Are you sure?" asked Tawanna.

"Sure." said Robin telling half the truth.

"And are you really ready to married her." said Tawanna.

"YES...can we go now!!!" said Robin being defensive.

"That's all I needed to hear...and Robin just to make sure that we are clear on things if I find out that you're lying and you are playing games with Lulu...I will hurt severely you GOT THAT!!!" warned Tawanna.

"Whatever lets go." said Robin.

"I'm not playing with you Robin!!! I really mean it." said Tawanna.

After Robn and Tawanna finished their discussion, they met up with Lulu and the three set off on their trip back home to Lincoln Heights.

Meanwhile, at Bill's house, he and Giselle are having their morning coffee together.

"So what's on your agenda today, Giselle?"

"Believe it or not, I'm free today, Uncle Billy!  I was supposed to have a photo shoot, but it got rescheduled to next week," she explained.

"I'm covering a story on the MJ Tribute going on at the Revolution," he told her.

"MJ Tribute?  I didn't hear anything about that.  Sounds like fun though," she replied.

"Why not come with me and check it out?  A bunch of young folks are putting it together," he suggested.

"Wait a minute.....did you sat the REVOLUTION?  Is that a coffee spot?" she asked curiously.

"Yeah---well---at least it was before the quake.  From what I understand it's been expanded and renovated into more of a club," he explained.

"I think Danny has some connections with that place.  I remember hearing him talk about it on the phone before..."

"I like that guy--he's going places.  Why don't you call him and ask about it?  Maybe he can get you in on it."

"Yeah!  If I can get in on it, that might help out my modeling career!" she said excited as she got up from the table and ran to the phone.

A few minutes later she joined Bill at the table again.

"So? What did Danny say?" Bill asked Giselle.

"He didn't answer his cell," Giselle said, disappointed.

Bill hated to see his niece down.  "Look, Giselle, just come with me down to the Revolution and see if anything's going on.  If it's meant to be, you'll get in on it.  If not, at least you and I can spend some time together."

Giselle thought about her Uncle's suggestion and finally agreed.  After they finished their coffee, they got showered and dressed and were soon in the car on their way to the Revolution.

Meanwhile at Lund's apartment Sage was getting ready to head down to the Rev when she got a phone call from Danny.

"Hey Danny I'm all set and ready to head down to the Rev." said Sage

"Hey Sage about that I'm a little bit feeling under weather so I can't make it today." lied Danny.

"Danny the tribute is right around the corner you have to come." said Sage.

"Not to worry we have plenty of time to rehearse and do our thing juust not today I don't want to come over there and give everybody my cold including you in your condition." lied Danny.

"Oh Danny you always thinking of me." said Sage.

"Gotta go love you." said Danny.

"Love you more." said Sage hanging up.

"So Sage what kind of lies did Danny came up with this time?" asked Lund.

"Stay out of this Dad!!!" said Sage.

"Sage this guy is playing you for a fool I just know it.  Why can't you see that?" snapped Lund.

"Dad just because you and mom relationship sucks don't give you the right to mess up mine." said Sage.

"Sage he's taking on a one long ride.  You deserve better." said Lund.

"You mean Tay?  Get real Dad.  I am not lowering myself to date on of the muppet babies." said Sage.

"I'm not going to argue with you on this just go to the reheaarsal and do what you have to do.  But after the MJ tribute is over you are grounded for a month." said Lund.

"Dad I DIN"T RAN OUT NAKED ON PURPOSE!!!!" snapped Sage.

"You humiliated me in front of everyone.  DO you realize how much that's has an affect on me?" angered Lund.

"Well you no prize winner yourself." snapped Sage.

"Young lady you are testing my patience." said Lund.

Soon sage stormed out and slammed the door.


"Where did I go wrong with this girl.  Just tell me what did I do wrong?" asked Lund to himself.

Back at Marla's house, Cassie is snoring when a knock on the door wakes her.

"Hey Beautiful!  Rise and shine!  We've got lots to do today!" Charles announced happily as he stood in the doorway watching her.

"Huh?  What?"

"You must really be exhausted from our romantic date, Beautiful!  It's almost noon," he told her.

Cassie immediately sat up when she realized how late it was.

"My babies!!  They must be starving!!" she said as she jumped out of bed and headed for the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay!" Charles said as he stopped her from trampling him at the door.  "I fed them both."

Cassie let out a sigh of relief.  "Oh.....thanks, Charles!  I don't know what happened---I never sleep this late!"

Charles laughed.  "Don't worry about it.  Just hurry up and get ready!"

"For what?"

"Cassie, we've gotta get down to the Rev and rehearse for the Tribute Show.  And you haven't even decided what you're doing yet!" he reminded her.

"Oh.............the Tribute Show............that's right....." she replied unenthused.

"Could you show a little more love for the King of Pop?" Charles teased.

Cassie looked down.  "Charles, can I be honest with you?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just not feeling this whole Tribute thing.  I wanna mourn privately.  Is that a bad thing?" she asked, hoping he'd agree.

"Cassie........everyone will be SO disappointed if you don't participate.  Tell you what----if you don't want to perform, at least do some art work for the stage---how's that?" he asked.

"Charles!  That' SUCH a great idea!!  OMG--what's wrong with me?  Why didn't I think of that?!" she rambled.

Charles laughed, happy she wasn't down any longer.  "I don't know why, Beautiful.  I guess you need me afterall, huh?"

Cassie hugged him, beaming.  "Thanks so much, Charles!  I can do my work downstairs in the basement---I don't even have to go to the Rev until it's finished!" she planned.

"Not go to the Rev?  But I'm going, Cassie.  I want you there for moral support!" he said.

"Chaaaaarles......." she whined.  "I need to concentrate if I'm gonna do a portrait of Michael Jackson.  All of the rehearsing will distract me!" she objected.

He thought about awhile about what she said.   "Hmmm......guess you're right....." he finally agreed.

Cassie was relieved.  "So you go on without me, Charles.  Lizzie will give you all the moral support you need!  And please let her know what I'm doing for the show---she was concerned,"

Charles looked a bit disappointed that Cassie wasn't going with him.  "Yeah, alright...." he said reluctantly.

Cassie gave him a thank you kiss, an i love you kiss and a see you later kiss, and then ran to get her art supplies.

Meanwhile at the airplane while Lulu was sleeping Robin was downloading the rehearsal clip to his ipod. 

"Boo what are you doing?" asked Lulu waking up.

"Just downloading some tuff to my ipod." said Robin.

"Well it's better not be porn.  That's illegal you know." said Lulu.

"Sweetie I know that!  I wouldn't even waste my time downloading that porn crap.  Anyway that's how people get viruses on their computer.  Going on sites that they shouldn't be going on.  Now go back to sleep." said Robin kissing Lulu.

Robin finally downloaded the clip and kept watching it over and over again until he fell asleep.

Batman642

While he slept, he had dreams about the Tribute Show.  A few hours later, Robin felt someone shaking him and calling his name.  "Robin!  Wake up!  We're here!"

Slowly he shook off the sleepiness, opening his eyes.  To his dismay, Tawanna was the person standing over him, trying to wake him.

Robin moaned.  "Oh it's YOU......"

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too!  Wake Lulu up, will you?  And fasten your seat belts!  We're landing in a minute!" Tawanna said, bossing him.

When she was sure Robin was fully awake, she hurried and sat in her seat across the aisle from them and buckled up.

Robin put his seat in the upright position, fastened his seat belt and shook Lulu.  "Hey!  Sweetie!  Wake up!" he whispered in her ear.

Lulu yawned and stretched.  "God......I can't believe how TIRED I feel...." she remarked, coming around and realizing where she was.

"Yeah, me too.  But at least we had a safe flight---so far.  Hurry and buckle up---we're landing soon," he told her as he helped her prepare.

As the plane started to descend, Robin grabbed Lulu's hand and squeezed it tight.
Candygwen


"Robin you squeezing my hand." concerned Lulu.

Lulu saw the fear in Robin's eye and sweating with fear that the plane will crash.


"Robin calm down the plane is not going to crash." said Lulu.

Robin thought about his near death experience and he's started heavy breathiing.  The plane finally landed.

"You see it was a safe landing. Robin...Robin...ROBIN!!!" yelled Lulu.


Lulu notice Robin's heavy breathing then she realize Robin is having a panic attack.


"SOMEBODY GET HELP!!!" yelled Lulu.

Lulu held and console Robin.

"Everything is going be okay.  Try to pull yourself togetherwe landed and we're safe.  Try to stay." said Lulu as she held Robin tight.

Batman642

"Wow Lulu, Rob's really got it bad...." Tawanna remarked as she watched them and collected her belongings at the same time.

"Don't get on his case about this later, T...." Lulu warned her in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, girl, I know where to draw the line," Tawanna assured her.  "I feel bad for him..."

"What's taking them so long?" Lulu asked impatiently as she waited for some help from the flight attendants.

"I'll go see," Tawanna volunteered. 

She left Lulu and Robin at their seat and went up to the front of the plane and found the flight attendants grinning and saying goodbye to the passengers as they exited the plane. 

"Excuse me!! My friend is back there and he needs some help NOW," she demanded.

"What seems to be the trouble?" one of them asked.

"He's freaking out is all I know....He was just in a plane crash not too long ago and I think he's having flashbacks or something.  Would you just come and check on him PLEASE??!!"

She led the flight attendant back to where Robin and Lulu were.
Candygwen

"We better get someone." said The flight Attendant.

Finally Robin started to calm down.

"I fine." said Robin getting a hold of himself.

"Robin sweetie are you sure you don't need any help?  You were freaking out earlier." said Lulu.

"Lulu I say I am fine. I just lost it a little bit.  Can we pleaseget off this airplane nw?" asked Robin.

"Robin your hands are shaking." worried Lulu.

"Lulu please just let me get a hold of myself please.  I'll be fine." said Robin as he slowly getting up.

Lulu was getting concerned about her fiancee'.

"Okay seriously I'm worried about him." said Tawanna.

"Me too." said Lulu.

Batman642

The girls managed to get Robin safely off of the plane and the flight attendant showed them a private lounge where they could sit with him until he got back to normal.

"This really isn't necessary," Robin objected.  "What good is sitting here gonna do?" he asked, annoyed.

"It's just a precaution," the flight attendant explained.  "It's better than calling an ambulance, don't you think?"

"Well.....since you put it that way....I'll sit here awhile," Robin agreed.

"You stay here, Boo, and me and T will go get the rest of the luggage," Lulu told him.

Tawanna made a face.

"Are you sure you can handle it by yourselves?" Robin asked, concerned.

"Sure!" Lulu replied quickly.

"NO!!" Tawanna contradicted her.  "Anyway, we shouldn't leave him here alone, Lulu--what kind of girlfriend are you anyway??"

"I think he needs his space," Lulu told her.  "Don't you, Boo?"

"What I need is to get out of here and back home," he said as he got up.  "Come on," he said, "we're ALL going to get the luggage," he told the girls as he headed towards the lounge exit.

"Okaaaaay.....if you say so......" Lulu said, still sounding a bit unsure as she and Tawanna followed, keeping a close eye on him.

Meanwhile back at homeEddie &  Jenn was watching Cassie drawing and painting a portrait of Michael Jackson.

"I wish that Cassie will participate in the tribute." said Eddie.

"She is Eddie.  Cassie just don't want to perform that's all." said Jenn.

Soon Jenn cell phone rang.  Jenn look at it and it was Monica.

"Umm Eddie I'll be right back I just have to take this call." said Jenn.

"Okay take your time." said Eddie.

Jenn answered.

"Hey Monica whatsup!!" asked Jenn.

"Jenn I really could used your help." said Monica.

"Sure what is it?"asked Jenn.

"It's Robin he hasn't called or return any of my calls since I have scold at him about his fling with Cassie.  And today he is coming home for the summer and I don't know what to say to him.  What should do?" asked Monica.

Batman642

"I wouldn't worry if I were you, Monica.  Sure --- Robin might be upset with you and avoiding you --- but he'll ALWAYS love you --- no matter what.  And remember Monica --- WE are the PARENTS.  If anything, Robin should be worried about what HE'S gonna say to YOU --- don't you think?" Jenn reasoned.

Monica sighed.  "I guess you're right.  It's just that he and I have ALWAYS gotten along SO BEAUTIFULLY.  It was always Mike that rubbed Robin the wrong way.  Now that Mike is dead, maybe Robin will start taking out his frustrations on me..."
she worried.

"That's nonsense, Monica!  Of course you two will have your differences of opinion, but don't worry that your relationship will weaken.  When Robin comes home, just be yourself.  What happened between him and Cassie is water under the bridge, so why even bring it up?  Hopefully they both learned their lesson -- unfortunately at the expense of their unborn child..."

"I wish I could be like you Jenn.  You're always so calm and cool..." Monica remarked.

Jenn laughed a little.  "I guess you forgot about the other day when I stormed up to Eddie's hospital room, thinking I'd catch him and Dana together, huh?"

Monica laughed too.  "Oh --- yeah --- except for on that occasion!" she added.

"And Monica, just between me and you.....I ended up at the police station that night.  Nobody else knows--let it be our secret," Jenn confided.

"You're kidding?" Monica replied, shocked.

"I wish I was.....But my point is, everyone loses it sometime or another, so don't be so hard on yourself.  You're a gret mother and you've got a wonderful son," Jenn encouraged her.

"I'm glad I called you, Jenn.  I'll take your advice and just be myself, and let nature take its course," she decided.

"Well, I'd better go, now.  I don't want Eddie to get suspicious and start asking me questions.  He still doesn't know Cassie lost Robin's baby---and if he finds out now, God help us all...." Jenn lamented.

"Oh okay, you go ahead then, Jenn.  Thanks for the advice!" Monica said, hanging up quickly.

Jenn went back and joined her husband.
Candygwen

"Who was the Jenn?" asked Eddie.

"Aww no one real important." lied Jenn.

They both continued to watch Cassie paint.

Meanwhile back at the Rev. Tay, Lizzie, Kendra, and Jeron was rehearsing their number. They were all enjoying themselves and talking about the tribute.

"Alright I got all the MJ CDs including The Jackson 5 stuff from my dad." said Tay.

"Which one should we play first?" asked Kendra.

"How about the stuff we are  planning on doing for the show." said Lizzie.

"Cool I go first." said Jeron.

"How about a real star going first." said Devin walking in.

Batman642

Devin's little remark backfired because Lizzie was not impressed.

"Devin, let's get something straight---this is all about Michael Jackson and no one else.  So when you walk in here, check your ego at the door," she advised him with an attitude.

"Whoa.....Lizard....what's gotten into you?" Devin replied taken by surprise.

Lizzie rolled her eyes at him and then turned her attention to Jeron.  "Go ahead, Jeron -- do your thing," she told him, ignoring Devin.

Jeron grinned and then started singing BEN.
Candygwen

Everyone except Devin was impressed.  While everyone was listening Charles showed up.

"Hey Charles!" greeted Lizzie.

"Hey sorry I'm late I have to go and get my outfit for the tribute." said Charles.

"Say where's Cassie? Suppose to be here." said Lizzie.

"About that well  Cassie say she really not up to performing." said Charles.

"What!?!?  That's just like Cassie!!!  That is such cop out.  Cassie thinks of nobody but herself." said Lizzie.

"Cut Cassie some slack Lizzie.  She is still mourning.  Anyway just because she doesn't want to perform doesn't she still want to be part of the tribute.  She doing a huge portrait of Michael Jackson." said Charles.

"Well I guess that's better than nothing.  But it still would've been nice if she participating more." said Lizzie.

"So does that mean you don't have anyone to perform with you at the MJ tribute?" asked Sage walking in.

Batman642

Lizzie looked Sage up and down and sucked her teeth. "We've got PLENTY of performers," she bragged.

"Hey.....ain't you the chick that was running around with no clothes on?" Kendra asked.

Everyone laughed except Sage and Charles.

"Did I miss something?" Charles asked, unaware of what went on with Danny and Sage.

"Did you EVER!!" Tay informed him.

"Go on and make fun if you want," Sage announced.  "I'm a big girl -- I can take it."

"That's for sure!  I've gotta hand it to you, Sage, for showing your face after what you did!" Lizzie told her.

Sage smiled triumphantly.  "Thank you!  Now, about my act....Me and Danny are doing THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL.  He's gonna chase me around the stage like in MJ's video," she giggled.

"You mean like deja vu from yesterday...." Lizzie corrected her.

"And anyway, where's Danny?" Tay asked.

"He's sick, but he'll be fine for the show---I'll make sure of that!" Sage replied.

"By the way....when is the show?" Charles asked.

"That depends on Robin," Tay answered.

"ROBIN??? What's HE got to do with this???" Charles reacted, shocked.
Candygwen

"Uh HELLO...Robin is the new owner and manager of the Rev." said Lizzie.

"And he gave us the okay to let us have the tribute in The Rev." said Tay.

"Is that so." said Charles unamused.

"Well well well looks who's becoming the green eyed monster." said Sage.

"Sage don't start." said Charles.

"Oh come on Charles face it Robin is becoming more famous and you a still nobody." said Sage.

"Sage leave Charles alone." said Lizzie.

"I was just being honest Lizzie." said Sage.

"Look thisis not about Charles and Robin.  This is about Michael Jackson.  Charles and Robin are mature enough to let their differences ruin the tribute." said Lizzie.

"Did someone mentioned my name?" asked Robin walking in with Lulu.

"ROBIN!!!" excited Lizzie, Tay, & Jeron as they and hugged Robin.

"What am I puppy chow?" joked Lulu.

"LULU." shouted Lizzie s she hugged Lulu.

"Let me guess you're Robin?" asked Kendra.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot Robin, Lulu this is Kendra.  Kendra this is Robin and his girlfriend Lulu." greeted Lizzie.

"Correction fiancee'" said Lulu.

"Robin is the new owner and manager of the Rev." said Lizzie.

"Nice to meet you two." said Kendra.

"Same here.  Lizzie told me so much about you." said Lulu.

"Yeah but Lizzie never told say anything to me about you except that Robin bought the Rev." said Kendra.

"Oh yeah Robin, Lulu this is Devin." said Lulu.

"Whatsup guys I'm Lizzie's..." said Devin then Lizzie interupted FRIEND...Devin is a friend I was telling you about." said Lizzie.

Devin was confused.

"Why does this looks like a younger version of Cassie, Robin and Charles?" wondered Sage to herself.

"And why is Tay keeps starring at me with that funny look on his face?  he is so weird." wondered Sage.

"Wow the new Rev. looks awesome it's better when I have imagined. I'm going to have fun running the place.  Especially when we do the tribute." said Robin.

Eveybody was happy to see Robin and Lulu except for Charles.

Batman642

"Charles, where's Cassie?" Lulu asked, trying to break the ice.

"She's working on an art project," Charles replied, not bothering to explain in detail.

Lulu frowned. "Art project?  What could be more important than our MJ Tribute?"

Lizzie overheard them and interrupted.  "AHEM!!! From what I understand, she's doing an art project FOR the Tribute -- a portrait of Michael."

"Oh.......okay......cool!  Why didn't you just say so Charles?" Lulu asked giving him a playful push.

Charles didn't think she was funny and gave her the cold shoulder.

"Geeez.....what's wrong with YOU?" Lulu asked, insulted, as Charles walked away from her.

The whole time, Robin was standing by silent, just taking it all in.

"Don't sweat him, Lulu.  If we're lucky, maybe he'll change his mind and won't want any part of this...." Robin said.

Just then, Giselle and Bill walked in and they both spotted Charles.
Candygwen

"Hey it's Charles." excited Giselle.

"Keep away from that boy Giselle." said Bill as he grabbed Giselle.

"Uncle Bill I just want to say hi." said Giselle.

"Are you crazy?  That Antoni boy is nothing but trouble.  I am not leaving you alone with him." said Bill.

"Oh come on you act as if he is Chris Brown and I'm Rihanna or something." annoyed Giselle.

"You may as well...look I just don't trust that boy.  Why is here is beyond me." said Bill.

"To pay tribut of course." said Giselle.

"I guess you are right but I still want you to stay away from him.  You can do so much better.  Stick with someone like Danny.  Now that have a positive influence on you." said Bill.


"He sure has." said Giselle thinking pervertedly.

Soon Bill and Giselle spotted Robin and the others.

"Hey do you know where can I find a Robin Morgan?" asked Bill.

"That'll be me whatsup!!!" greeted Robin.

Batman642

Before Bill could answer, Giselle interrupted.  "Heeeeey......we've met before......" she told Robin.

Robin looked surprised.  "Have we?" he asked, finding it hard to believe he'd forget a knockout like Giselle.

"Yes.  Remember Uncle Billy?  When I first came here to live with you and you took me out to eat at some restaurant and that crazy lady, Dana, came up to the table and thought you and I were on a date, and she accused you of cheating on her friend, but you told her that I'm your niece not your girlfriend and then she calmed down and we all ended up eating together.  Remember? There was another girl there too.....Cathy I think?" Giselle said.

"Oh....you must mean Cassie," Robin corrected her.

"Yeah, yeah, Cassie!  And she showed me pictures of her twins!"

"I remember now," Robin agreed.  "I was in town for my father's funeral back then, so I wasn't myself."

"Well, we may have met before, Robin, but it's nice meeting you AGAIN because I don't remember any of that," Bill admitted, embarrassed.

"That's because you're old Uncle Billy," Giselle teased him, giggling.

"Nevermind, Giselle.  I'm not even 40 yet so give me a break."

Then he turned his attention to Robin.  "So, I'd like to interview you about this Tribute Show if you don't mind."

Robin shrugged and grinned, liking the attention.  "Sure.  Let's sit down," he suggested as he led them to a table.  "Ask me anything."
Candygwen


"So Robin how did you end up becoming the new owner of the Rev.?" asked Bill.

"Well actually my dad bought it but it was closed down because of the earthquake last year.  When he cut me & my mother out of the will he gave all the money to my relatives.  And my relatives gave us million dollars each so with the money I bought it and asked for Renovations.  It wouldve been impossible if it wasn't for Cassie's grandfather in San Diego" said Robin.

"So when you heard about MJ death how did you feel?" asked Bill.

"Like any other MJ fans or one of MJ's friends or family very.  It was devastating.  People don't seem to realize how much of an impact this man made.  He didn't just sing and dance.  He was a humanitarian, he broke racial barriers,  he was an icon, he open doors for Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Neyo, Beyonce, Missy Elliot, Rihanna, and yours truly (mentioning himself)" said Robin.

HELLO you left one person an upcoming artist...m." said Tay.

"Oh brother." said Lizzie rolling her eyes.

"Yeah MJ inspired Tay too.  MJ inspried alot of people.  He was a huge inspiration.  That's why we are giving this tribute.  To clebrate his music and his life.  I admit MJ is not perfect and he been through alot.  But we are not going to focus on his personal life, controversy and the bullshit rumors.  We want to remember him as an artist, a musician, a dancer, a father, a brother, a son, humanitarian and most of all a person." said Robin.

"Preach on Robin." cheered Jeron.

"So is came up with the idea of the MJ tribute?" asked Bill.

"Well I can't lie to you and I can't really take credit but idea belong to Cassie's younger sibling and their friends.  Lizzie and Tay meet Bill.  Bill these are Cassie younger brother and sister Lizzie and Tay." said Bill.

"We met." said both Lizzie and Tay.

"So you two were behind all this?" asked Bill.

"For sure." said Lizzie as she was flattered the Robin aknowledge and giving them credit.

Tay was impressed as well.

"Damn why can't Robin be my brother instead of Nate?" asked Tay to himself.

"Wow Robin you and The Suttons seems pretty close." said Bill.

"You can say that." said Robin as he slowly thought about Cassie.

"It's no wonder you and Cassie became such great friends." said Bill.

"If you want to interview someone why not interview those who came up with the idea." said RObin.

"Tell you what let me interview all of you and Ialso want to take pictures of you guys as well.  If you don't mind." said Bill.

"I don't mind at all." said Robin and the others.

Batman642

Everyone posed for a group photo---everyone except Charles.

"Wait a minute!  Someone's mising!" Lizzie announced, noticing him in the corner.  "Chuck!  Get your butt over here!"

"Lizzie, leave him alone if he doesn't want to be in the picture," Lulu told her, still hurt by Charles' unfriendliness.

Giselle heard what was going on and spoke up.  "Chuckie, we need you in the picture!" 

She got out of place and ran to the corner where Charles was standing and brooding alone.  "Chuckie, stop being a big baby! " she said, pulling him by the arms toward the rest of the group.

"Charles are you coming or not?  You're holding everything up, man!" Tay shouted.

Embarrassed, Charles stopped resisting Giselle and reluctantly followed her over to the group.

"Here, you stand right next to me, Chuckie!" she said happily, making room for him.

"Giselle----that's enough!" Bill warned her from behind the camera.

"Wow....Giselle seems to know Charles pretty well....." Lulu whispered to Robin suspiciously.

"Don't get involved," Robin whispered back.

"Okay, everyone," Bill instructed, "SMILE!!!"  he said as the camera flashed.

Moments a guy arrived with a group of people.


"May we help you?" asked Robin.

"Are you Robin?" asked The Guy.

"Yeah whatsup."Robin asked.


"Hey you looked strangely familiar." said Tay.

"Yeah I know you're MJ's concert promoter for O2 concert. And these are the guys who are suppose to be in the concert.  We saw clips of you guys rehearsing with MJ." said Lizzie.

"That's correct we got Robin's message and I tried to email him back but you didn't responded yet." said The promoter.

"Sorry I must've been still on the plane." said Robin.

"Anyway we agree to come here and particpate in the celebration." said The promoter.

Everyone was excited.

"Oh my God that is cool." said Kendra.

"Yeah I know." said Lizzie.

"Yeah RObin wanted to do a number with us." said one of the background dancer.

"Wow you're doing a number?" asked Lulu.

"That is so cool. Which one is it?" asked Lizzie.

"I want to that quiet for now." said Robin as he doesn't want to reveal too much and he doesn't want Charles to know he is doing the number for Cassie.

"I can say now this Tribute is going to be great." said Bill.

Bill interviewed some of the background dancers and the promoter, took a few more photos and then was ready to leave,

"You coming, Giselle?" he asked.

"Can I stay, Uncle Billy?  I promise I won't do anything wrong."

Bill looked at her and then looked at Charles who was by himself again in the corner.  "Well, alright, but I'm gonna talk to that boy before I leave," he told her.

"Don't be mean to him, Uncle Billy...." she pleaded as he walked away from her and over to Charles.

Bill didn't bother to answer her as he worked his way through the crowd of people over to where Charles was.

Bill quickly grabbed Charles by the shirt.

"I want to talk to you little boy." said Bill snatching Charles.

Bill took Charles to a private room so he can talk.

"Look you little lowlife I don't what's your angle being here but I'm going give you this little. Stay the hell away from my niece. I don't you around her, I don't want you near her, and I don't even want you breathing to the same air she breathes.  She finally getting her life back together and she doesn't need no scumbag like you interferring.  If I find out you hurt Giselle or you been hanging around her I'm coming at her with razor blades and lemon juice. I'm talking pain boy!!! Severe mind numbing pain.  Do hear me?" threatened Bill.

"I understand but just because you're dating my mom don't think you can intimidate me." said Charles.

"Fine!!!" said Bill.

Then Bill suddenly punched Charles in the stomach.  Charles was gagging in pain.

"Don't you ever in your life test me boy.  If I didn't know your mother I'll kill you right now. Now you just remember what I just said." warned Bill as he left he Rev.

Charles in pain crying feeling that his pride was hurt. Then he ran into Lulu.

"Charles are you alright?" asked Lulu.

"GET OUT MY WAY & LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" snapped Charles.

Batman642

Stunned, Lulu stood with her mouth wide-opened for a few seconds and then burst into tears, her feelings hurt just as much as Charles' pride.

Her reaction took Charles completely by surprise, and he immediately felt regret for snapping at her the way he did.

"Oh......Lulu........I'm sorry....." he said as he tried to put his arms around her shoulders and comfort her.

Lulu pushed him away.  "No!  Now YOU leave ME alone!!" she shouted in retaliation.

She stormed away, crying.  Lizzie, Kendra, Sage and Giselle all saw her crying and followed close behind her as she went into the Ladies Room.
Candygwen

The four ladies found Lulu crying her eyes out while she was sitting on the bathroom counter. All of them went into the stalls and got her some tissue.

"Lulu, what's wrong girl?!" Lizzie asked.

"I saw Billy punch Charles in the stomach and he looked like he was in a lot of pain. I went to go check on him to see if he was okay, and he just snapped at me;telling me to leave him alone!" Lulu exclaimed.

"Wait, MY Uncle Billy punched Chuckie?! That's impossible! Lulu, are you sure?" Giselle asked.

"Of course I'm sure!" Lulu said.

"I really don't believe you, Lulu. Uncle Billy wouldn't hurt a fly!" Giselle exclaimed as she stormed out of the bathroom in rage.

"Don't worry about her Lulu. She's kind of out there," Kendra said.

Everyone laughed.

"But don't worry, Lulu. We'll talk to Charles and see what's up. We got 'cha back!" said the other girls.

"Thanks you guys," Lulu sniffed as she tried to pull herself together.  "Charles has been SO WEIRD to me today!" she complained, looking in the mirror.

"My sister probably has him all twisted," Lizzie replied, annoyed.

"Don't blame Cassie!  She's not even here!" Lulu said, defending her friend.

"That's EXACTLY my point!  She should be here like the rest of us----but NOOOOOO-- she's gotta be difficult and stay home painting!  This is supposed to be a SHOW--not an art exhibit!" Lizzie explained.

"Lizzie.......Cassie's an ARTIST and this is her way of paying tribute to MJ.  I'm sure what she's painting is gonna be absolutely beautiful, and Charles OF ALL PEOPLE should understand that and support her --- not get all bent out of shape and take it out on ME!" Lulu said.

"Well, Chuck has always been cool with me, Lulu.  Maybe he's just having a bad day, and you just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Don't take it personally---you know he's always liked you," Lizzie told her.

Lulu thought about it.  "Yeah......true," she finally agreed.  "And he did apologize......" she remembered.

"So it's settled then?  We can get out of here?" Kendra interrupted anxiously.

Lulu took one last look in the mirror, took a deep breath and then nodded.  "I'm cool.  Let's bounce," she told them, exiting the Ladies Room.

The whole time, Sage never said a word.
Candygwen

As they all walked out of the bathroom the girls ran into Giselle.

"Hey Lulu I want to apologize for snapping at you a few minutes.  I hardly know you and I have no business going off on you like that." said Giselle.

"That's alright." said Lulu.

"I think I kinda' understand why my Uncle did that.  My Uncle Bill tend to take things the wrong way and he probably thinks Charles is going to hit on me.  He's what you say a very overprotective person." said Giselle.

"Welcome to my world." said Sage.

"It's cool Giselle." said Lulu.

Soon Charles came back.

"Hey Lulu I know you are upset but I really am sorry for blowing up at you earlier today. It's not you at all.  When peopleare in a bad mood they often take it out on wrong person.  I just had a bad day and I'm really sorry that I went off on you." said Charles.


"Apology accepted." said Lulu hugging Charles.

Both Charles and Lulu hugged.

"Awwwww" said Lizzie, Kendra, & Giselle.

"Alright shows over nothing more to see. Get out of here." said Charles.

"Just to let you know if you do that again.  I'll hurt you." said Lulu playfully punching Charles.

"Enough I'm brusied already." joked Charles as he left.

"Well well well. That's good to see you and Charles made up.  You better watch it Lul or you end up falling for him." said Sage taunting Lulu.

"Sage unlike you I am not that kind of woman.  So do yourself a favor and get your sick twisted mind out of the gutter and get a life." said Lulu walking away.

Meanwhile Robin was talking to the promotor & the band and backgrund dancers.

"So tell me what it's like to work with the King of Pop?" asked Robin.

Batman642

"Robin, man, it was the chance of a lifetime, dawg.  Now don't get me wrong --- it was HARD WORK -- but it was worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears," one of the dancers replied.

"Yeah, King of Pop didn't even fit him.  He should've been called the Emperor of Pop!  He was so smooth, so precise....It's like every move he made was the perfect move, yo!  Nobody could top him!" said another.

"And his personality.....so kind, considerate, mannerly.  Never raised his voice.  Never got angry if we messed up.  He was just patient with us til we got it right.  Sometimes, he'd make fun of us -- but it was all in good taste.  He never put us down or made us feel inferior.  I only worked with him a short while, but believe me when I tell you I loved him.  And not becasue he was THE MICHAEL JACKSON either.  I loved him because he was the real deal.  He had all this money, fame, notoriety, but at the end of the day, he just wanted to hang with the fellas and be one of us.  He didn't deserve to die, and i'm gonna do everything in my power to keep his memory alive," said the first dancer.

Robin shook his head as he listened, mesmerized.  "I wish I could have met him."

"Don't worry.  When we start rehearsing, you're gonna get so caught up that you'll feel like he's dancing right next to you---you'll see what I mean," the dancer promised.

"Well then let's get started!" Robin said eagerly.

"Just run your idea by us face-to-face.  We want to make sure we understand what you want to do," the dancer explained.

"Oh, sure.  This is what I'd like to do....." Robin began.
Candygwen

"I really want to do that number y'all rehearse two day before his death." said Robin as he showed them the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEA25qJQlw0.

As the dancers watched some of them was smiling and some of them got emotionalI as it brought back memories (check out link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdcytuKhVQo).

"Well so what's the word?" asked Robin excited.

"Robin it will be an honor to work wit you." said (Kenny Oriega Director/Producer).

"I am most definietly in." said Travis Payne (Choreographer/ Associate Director).

"We are all in." said Tyne.

"We won't let you down." said Misha.

"We won't let MJ down we promise you." said Shannon.

"You won't forget this Robin." said Timor.

I will show you everything that I know...MJ knows." said Mekia flirting with RObin.

Robin blush a little bit.

"It just something you need to do for us." said Chris.

"Sure anything." said Robin.

"Are you willing to do another number with us?" asked Daniel.

"I guess yeah but I don't want to take over the whole show.  Lizzie and the others are doing their tribute to MJ as well and it wouldn't be fair to the others for me to hogged the spotlight." said Robin.


"Oh no it's nothing like that it just that we always wanted to do smooth criminal with MJ.  Now that he passed we never got that experiecned." said Shannon.

"Will you do it for us?" asked Misha.

"Are you kidding? I will love to do it." said Robin.

Batman642

[thanks for the links batman642.  i feel so bad for those dancers. they never got to realize their dream :-( ]

Meanwhile, back at the house, Cassie is putting the finishing touches on her larger than life size portrait of MJ as Jenn and Eddie sit, watching in amazement.

'I just can't believe how talented our daughter is....." Eddie remarked.

"It's a Bradshaw thing," Jenn bragged playfuly.

"Mom.....Dad.......you're EMBARASSING me..." Cassie whined.

"Oh stop frontin, girl.  You know you love it!" Eddie replied, laughing.

Cassie laughed harder.  "You're right  I love it!"

The basement door opened and Charles walked in.  "I'm back, Cassie!  You still in here, Beautiful?" he called.

"Heeeey....." Cassie greeted him with a big smile and a kiss.  "You're just in time, Charles.  I'm all done," she said as she directed his attention to the art work.

"Wow, Cassie...." Charles remarked, amazed.

"Do you really like it?" she asked anxiously.
Candygwen

(No problem Candygwen!!! I really feel bad for the dancers as well. It got to be very devastating for them. This could've really been a great concert.)


"Like it? I love it.  You are the best artist in the world beautiful." said Charles.

"I don't know about being the best Charles." said Cassie being modest.

"Oh come on everyone is going to love it once they see it." said Charles.

"Oh Charles you just saying that." said Cassie.

"It's the truth you are really talented." said Charles as he wrapped his arms around Cassie.

"Thanks!  Charles are you alright you seem kinda' down." said Cassie.

"I don't I thinking about pulling out of the show." said Charles.

"Why? Charles is it because of me then don't just because I'm not performing doesn't mean you have to skip out too." said Cassie.

"It's not youCassie." said Charles.

"Then what is it?" asked Cassie.

"I just found out Robin is running the tribute and he's helping Lizzie & the others out." said Charles.

"So?" confused Cassie.


"He and Lulu are in town.  Cassie why didn't you tell me that Robin is a part of the tribute show?" asked Charles.

"I didn't want you to feak out." said Cassie.

"I really wish you would've told me." said Charles.

"Charles this is about you or Robin this is about paying tribute to MJ." said Cassie.

"I know but Robin really gets under my skin."said Charles.

"Charles you shouldn't get jealous because me and him aren't even on good terms right now.  You are the one I want to be with and Robin is engaged to Lulu so stop worrying about you losing me to Robin because I love you.  You are the one Charles." said Cassie.

"Thanks that's all I needed to hear from you." said Charles.

"Good and I want you to perform at the tribute.  Do it for me please." said Cassie holding Charles' hand.

Charles looked in Cassie's eyes.

"Oh alright fine!!! I'll do it...for you and MJ."  said Charles.

"Good that's my Charles." said Cassie kissing Charles.

The two started kissing until Eddie.

"Oh escuse me." interrupted Eddie.

"Oops sorry sir." said Charles.

"Someone needs to check on the twins and get ready dinner will be ready in a minute." said Eddie.

"Okay Dad." said Cassie.

As Charles walked passed Eddie bapped him with a newspaper.

"I got my eye on you boy." said Eddie with a mean look.

Charles was confused but didn't care so him and Cassie went upstairs to check on the twins.

Batman642

After they finished changing the twins, as they headed out of the nursery, Charles noticed his mother’s bedroom door was cracked and could see Marla stretched out on her bed.\

“Hmmm…. That’s strange….” he remarked.

“What?” Cassie asked as they stood in the hallway.

Charles pointed at the bedroom door. “Since when does my mom crash so early?”

Cassie saw Marla layng down and shrugged it off, trying not to make too much out of it.

“Whatever you do, Charles, DON”T wake her up,” Cassie advised. “She’s probably just really tired…”

“I know what you’re saying, but it’s not like my mom to be in bed before dinner, Cassie. I’ve gotta check and make sure she’s okay,” he explained.

Cassie’s heart sank, remembering the conversation she and Marla had in the den the night before and the accusation Marla made about Robin.

Candygwen

"Mom wake up dinner is almost ready." said Charles.

"Oh hey Charles." said Marla waking up.

"Mom are you alright?  It's not like you to sleep late like that." concerned Charles.


"I'm fine Charles.  I just had a long day." said Marla.

"Well after a nice dinneryou will alot better." said Charles.

"Hey Charles is Lizzie, Tay, & Jeron still at the rev?" asked Jenn.

"Of course where else could they be?" said Charles.

"I better call them and let them know it's time for dinner." said Jenn.

Batman642

So Jenn called Lizzie and told her to come home ASAP.

"Oh Mom....." Lizzie whined, "we're having SO MUCH FUN!  Can't we stay here and order pizza?"

"No, Lizzie.  I want you two home, and Dana wants Jeron home as well," Jenn insisted.

"Crap!" Lizzie replied.

"Nevermind...just get home, young lady," Jenn ordered as she hung up.

Then Lizzie got an idea. 

"Lulu, would you and Robin like to come over for dinner?" she asked.

Lulu's face lit up.  "Would I???  Of course!!  I'm dying to see my girl, Cassie----even tho she blew me off earlier---and those cute little godtwins of mine!!!" she replied excited.

"Awesome!!" Lizzie responded.  "I'll go tell, Robin!!" she said as she ran up to the stage where Robin and the dancers were rehearsing their SMOOTH CRIMINAL routine.

She waited patiently until they got to the end and then jumped up on the stage and raced over to Robin.

"Heeey......slow down Shorty!" he teased.

"Sorry, Robin!  But are you guys done for the evening?" she asked anxiously.

"Why? What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing's wrong!  Mom wants us to come home for dinner!" she told him.

Robin hesitated.  "Oh.......Well er um......I thnk we've got more rehearsing to do," he said.

Travis Payne, the choreographer, overheard him.

"No way, man!  We've done enough for the night.  You go ahead with the little lady and enjoy your grub," he said, giving Robin a friendly slap on the back.

"Are you sure?  I don't think we've got it down just right...." Robin replied, hoping to get out of Lizzie's dinner invitation.

"Who's the choreographer here?  You or me?" Travis asked.

Robin looked down, embarrassed, and didn't even answer.

"Alright, then," Travis continued.  "Nuf said.  I insist you go with this cutie pie immediately," he said smiling at Lizzie.

"Gee thanks!  Come on, Robin!" Lizzie said, pulling his arm.

Reluctantly, Robin went along with her, and soon they were all on their way to the Antoni house for dinner.
Candygwen

As they all drove off Robin soon realized he haven't seen his mother since they had arrived back and he knew despite of what happened with him & Cassie he has to see his mother sooner or later.

"Oh no I just thought of something.  Lizzie I have to put a raincheck for dinner." said Robin.

"Why Robin?" asked disappointed Lizzie.


"Yeah why..don't you want to see Dana, Cassie and her folks again?" asked Lulu.


"Of course it just that since we got here I haven't contacted my mom and we did went to the Rev.  She's going to worry eventually.  Lulu you drop me off and go ahead have dinner with them I'll be fine." said Robin.

"Oh Robin I was really looking to having dinner with you." said Lizzie.

"Don't worry shorty.  I tell you what I will take you out to lunch tomorrow during rehearsals.  My treat and it will be our little date okay?" offered Robin.

"Okay since you're treating...it's a date." said Lizzie.

"Robin I know you are not cheating on me." teased Lulu.

"Robin have good taste." joked Lizzie.

"Don't worry Lulu you are still my number one girl." said RObin as he kissed Lulu.

Batman642

Lulu dropped Robin off at his mother's new house.

"Whoa.....what a crib...." Jeron remarked, impressed as they drove away.

"Yeah.....I'll say!" Tay agreed.

"I can't wait to see the inside of it later tonight!" Lulu said excitedly as she drove to the Antoni's.

Meanwhile, the sound of a car in her driveway caused Monica to look out of her huge bay window.  She was pleasantly surprised to see her son get out and approach the house.
Candygwen

"I wonder how she is going to react?" wondered Robin to himself.

As soon as he rang the doorbell Monica quickly opened the door.

"Mom!!!" surprised Robin.

"Robin...I was worried about you haven't called mein quite awhile." said Monica.

"Well the semester is over for the summer." said Robin.

"Well aren't you going to give me a hug?' asked Monica.

Robin hugged his mother and into the house.

"Wow the house look really nice." said Robin.

"Do you really like it?" asked Monica.

"Yeah." said Robin.

"Come on in dinner is almost ready.  There is so much we need to talk about." said Monica as she pleasently pulled Robin in.

Meanwhile Lulu, Lizzie and the others finally arrived at Marla's house for dinner.

Batman642

"SURPRISE!!!" Lizzie shouted as she came through the kitchen door holding Lulu's arm.

Startled, Jenn jumped a little as she stood at the stove, stirring the sauce. When she looked and saw Lulu, she dropped her wooden spoon in the pot.

"Well, well, well, this IS a surprise!  I didn't know you'd be joining us, Lulu!" she said, hoping Robin wasn't with her.

"It's okay that I invited them, right Mom?" Lizzie asked, seeking her mother's approval.

"THEM???? Oh......sure......" Jenn answered, trying not to be rude.

"Gee, thanks, Mrs. Sutton.  Unfortunately, Robin couldn't come tonight.  He's with Miss Monica," Lulu explained.

Jenn felt better when she heard Robin was a no-show.  "Oh!   What a shame," she replied, pretending to be disappointed.

"Do you need any help Mrs. Sutton?" Lulu asked politely.

"No, sweetie, but thanks.  Why don't you go on up and see Cassie and the twins?  You know you want to...." Jenn said with a sly grin.

Lulu jumped up excited, clapping her hands.  "Oh thanks Mrs. Sutton!!" she said as she ran out of the kitchen, relieved she didn't have to help out.

Lizzie started to follow her.  "Hey!  Wait for me!" she called.

"Not so fast, Lizzie!!" Jenn shouted at her daughter.

Lizzie stopped abruptly and turned to face her mother.  "What Mom?" she asked, clueless.

"Lizzie, the next time you decide to invite someone for dinner, please let me know FIRST," Jenn said in a serious tone.

Lizzie was puzzled at her mother's request.  "But Mom, I just thought it would be a nice thing for Robin and Lulu to join us is all....." she explained.

"I know, I know.  You've got a big heart and that's a beautiful thing.  But still---you never know what I might have had planned.  What if I had your grandfather and Vera in mind for dinner?  What if I didn't have enough food prepared?"

"Oh........I didn't think about that," Lizzie admitted.  "Sorry, Mom.  I didn't mean to mess up your dinner plans--honest."

Jenn put her arm around her daughter's shoulders and gave her a loving squeeze.  "I know, Baby.  And don't worry---no harm done.  But next time, NO SURPRISES---PLEASE."

"I promise Mom," Lizzie said as she hugged Jenn.  "Can I go now?" she asked anxiously.

Jenn hit her playfully on her rear end.  "Go on, get out!  But dinner's almost ready so don't get too comfortable," she warned.

Lizzie giggled.  "Okay!  Love you Mom!" she said as she ran out of the kitchen to join her sister and friend upstairs.

Wow!  We really dodged a bullet!  If Robin had shown up what a mess that would have been....Jenn thought to herself as she continued cooking.
Candygwen

Meanwhile back at Monica's house Robin and his mother is enjoying dinner.  Monica notices Robin has been very quiet the evening.

"Well someone have to break the ice so it may as well be me.  So have you and Lulu dicuss wedding plans yet?" asked Monica.

"Mom we haven't even set a date yet.  I still have to get her a real engagement ring." said Robin.

"Okay so what did you think of your new Rev?" asked Monica.

"I like it alot. I just the way I wanted." said Robin.

"Looks like the Rev is going to be great." said Monica.

"Great it's going to be the best." said Robin quietly.

"So how do you think you did in all of your classes this semester?" asked Monica.

"Great I think I'm going to get all As as usual." said Robin.

"That's nice. Robin this really a good thing you are doing for MJ tribute.  I'm really proud of you." said Monica.

"That's it this is too much mom wh are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" frustrated Robin.

"Robin I haven't seen you in awhile and I miss.  Plus I haven't heard from since...since." said Monica.

Then Robin interupted and said"Since you found out what happened with me and Cassie.  It's obviously you haven't forgot about that."

"True I have not and I was hoping we will talk about that." said Monica.

"GEEZ mom!!!" annoyed Robin.

"Robin we have to talk about this sooner or later." said Monica.

"Well I don't want talk about so let me save you all the trouble...Robin Morgan I am shocked very disappointed in you.  You really disgust me as a son,  Your father was right about you.  You are a weak loser and I hate you." said Robin as he got up.

"Robin please sit down." said Monica stopping him.

"Let me go." snapped RObin.


"I SAID SIT DOWN NOW!!!" snapped Monica.

Robin finally sat down.

"Now you listen to me Robin...what you said just about now was really hurtful.  I would never say those things to you." said Monica.

"But my dad would." said Robin.

"Baby I am not Mike and he is gone.  You and I always got along. I would never hate you. You are the best that ever happened to me.  RObin I love you very much....I don't like what you and Cassie did and I am a bit disappointed that you made the wrong choice again but I don't hate you.  No matter what happens I will always love you no matter what.  Now I may have overreacted when I found out.  Even though I don't condone what you have done I should have handle it better.  But that doesn't excuse you sleeping with Cassie." said Monica.

"But mom I'm not lying to you.  The whole thing was Cassie's idea.  She made me sleep with her and keep it a secret." said Robin.

"It's still no excuse Robin.  It doesn't matter who's idea it was...wrong is wrong and you two was wrong for that. Now forgive me for being cruel but you are lucky that Cassie has lost her baby.  Do you have any idea what would've happened if she didn't lose her baby.  You would've hurt alot of people especially your fiancee' Lulu." said Monica.

"I know I just didn't think about that." said RObin.

"That's your problem you don't think.  Robin are engaged to be marry soon.  This is a very serious commitment you are making.  Are you sure you are ready to get married?" asked Monica.

"Sure I guess." said Monica.

"There is no guess Robin. Either you are ready or not.  And if you are not even sure then you are not ready.  I'm not even sure you are 100% committed to Lulu.  It seems that you still have feelings for Cassie." said Monica.

"Mom I am really sure this time." said Robin.

"I hope so Robin because I don't you going around hurting tose girls.  Robin I may seem like I'm being harsh but I'm not.  I want you to get your act together.  I don't you to end up like your father.  I love you very much and I hope you understand." said Monica.

"Yeah I understand mom." said Robin.

"And I think it is best that you stay away from Cassie.  At least for awhile just until you two finally get your act together." said Monica.

"Fine I'll give Cassie her space." said Robin as he cross his finger behind his back.

"Good now that we settle this lets have some cake and Robin it's good to have you home again." said Monica hugging Robin.

"It's good to be home." said Robin.

The two of them hugged and had dessert.

Batman642

Upstairs in the Antoni house, Lulu was playing with the twins on the floor while Cassie, Lizzie and Dana looked on.

"OMG!  I can't BELIEVE how BIG they are!!  And they're talking SO MUCH!!" Lulu exclaimed, delighted.

"We love you, Lulu!!!" Kalie screamed as she jumped on top of Lulu, giggling.

Colin tried to get in on the action too, laughing and giggling and kissing Lulu's face all over as they rolled around.

"They're REALLY excited to see you, Lulu!" Cassie remarked, impressed.

After a while, Lulu was getting exhausted.  "Okay, guys, I give up!!  I surrender!!  Lemme get up!!" she begged as she tried to catch her breath.

Cassie and Lizzie each took a twin off of Lulu so she could get up from the floor.

"Whew!!!  Thanks!!  Colin and Kalie have alot more energy than I do!" she admitted.

"Which means you're an old lady like me now," Dana teased.

"You?  Old?  Yeah, right!" Lulu disagreed.  "You'll NEVER be old, Dana."

Dana smiled, flattered, as Cassie and Lizzie went to put the twins in their playroom.

"So how are things going with you and Robin?" Dana asked as they waited for Lizzie and Cassie to get back.

Lulu stuck out her hand and proudly displayed the ring Robin gave her.

Dana nodded with approval.  "Nice....So you're......engaged?"

Lulu nodded, excited.  "We are!  Cool, huh?"

Dana chuckled.  "Congratulations.  I'll have to congratulate Robin when I see him."

"You'll see him at the Tribute Show if you come."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world.  I gotta see my Jeron sing his solo!" Dana bragged.

Lizzie and Cassie came back from the playroom and sat down with Lulu and Dana.

"So what are we talking about?" Lizzie asked nosily.

"Your favorite topic --- Jeron!" Dana teased.

Everyone laughed.

"Actually, I was showing Dana my engagement ring," Lulu explained to Lizzie.

"Am I gonna be in the wedding?" Lizzie asked bluntly.

"Lizzie!!  Don't be rude!!" Cassie scolded her younger sister.

"What??!!!  I just wanna know....." Lizzie whined.

"It's okay, Cassie," Lulu assured her.  "OF COURSE you're in it, Lizzie!  Cassie's the maid of honor and you're a bridesmaid," she continued.

"My first wedding!!  I'm so excfited!!" Lizzie replied.  "I thought I'd be in Cassie's wedding first, but it doesn't seem like THAT will ever happen!!"

"Shut up, Lizzie!" Cassie warned.

"I remember when you guys were trying to plan your wedding, Cassie," Dana reminisced.  "Out at the beach house---remember?"

"Yeah, how could I forget?" Cassie said sadly, also reminiscing.

"Don't worry, Cassie.  It'll happen when the time is right," Lulu consoled her.  "But a DOUBLE wedding would be so cool!"

"You mean, you and Robin and Cassie and Chuck?" Lizzie asked.

"Yes!" Lulu replied.  "I think it's a GREAT idea!"

Cassie frowned.
Candygwen

"Lulu please don't encourage Lizzie." said Cassie.

"Oh come on Cassie it will be a dream wedding of a lifetime." said Lulu.

"Lulu I don't want to talk about it." said Cassie.

"I can picture it now a fairytale wedding with you, Cassie, Charles, Robin." said Lulu.

"Lulu I said SHUT UP!!!" shouted Cassie.

Everyone was shocked at Cassie reaction.

"OMG I am so sorry.  I don't know what has gotten into me.  Lulu please forgive me." said Cassie.

"Let me guess you had a bad day as well.  You & Charles really deserve each other." said Lulu.

"Lulu wait. You my gir! You know I would hurt you or anything.  I just have alot of stuff on my mind." said Cassie.

"Cassie I just want to spend time with you.  I've been away for awhile.  But lately you became I don't even know anymore.  Did I do something hurt you?" asked Lulu concerned.

"No it's you not at all. I'm really am happy to see you.&n
