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 showing off.
"No he haven't" said Cassie.
"And to show that I am better than Robin I'm going to get you anbd the twins some icecream." said Charles.
Charles bought them icream and they were enjoying themselves.
"Charles stop trying to compete with Robin. I'm with you okay." said Cassie enjoying her icecream.
"I just want to make sure." said Charles.
Soon Lulu called Cassie on her cell.
Batman642
"Cassie? You busy girl?" Lulu asked.
"For a change.....no. We're in the park chillin. How are you, Lulu?"
"Girl I am SO HAPPY. We'll be back home tomorrow! School is over and Robin says you guys are organizing a tribute for MJ at the Rev! This is gonna be so exciting, Cassie! I haven't sung in awhile and I miss it! Have you decided what you're gonna do for the show yet?" Lulu asked bubbling over with excitement.
Cassie hesitated wishing she could be as excited as Lulu was, but instead dreading the event.

"Not yet...I could hardly contained myself." said Cassie hesistantly.
"This is so excited I can't to get back to the Heights. There is so much I have to got to tell you. I know you can't wait to see me and Robin." said excited Lulu.
"I can't say much for Robin but I miss you so much Lulu." said Cassie.
"Well I have to go and turn these books in. Talk to you later." said Lulu hanging up.
"MJ tribute? What's that all about?" asked Charles.
Batman642
"Oh......I guess I forgot to tell you....." Cassie stalled. "Tay and Lizzie and Jeron -- they want to give a Tribute Show in honor of Michael Jackson. Isn't that sweet?"
"I guess. But Lulu--isn't she at Sea School? What's she got to do with it?'
"School's out for summer, Charles. She's coming home and she wants to be a part of it," Cassie answered, trying to keep Robin's name out of the conversation.
"Is it gonna be at my mom's house?" Charles asked.
"Nooooo....."
"Well then where?" he persisted.
"Tay said something about a friend of his in the music business helping them out," Cassie fibbed.
"Hmmm....." Charles responded, deep in thought. "I think I'll sing an MJ song for their tribute show," he decided.
"HUH???"
"Sure, why not? I can carry a tune. I think I'll sing "Lady of My Life" and dedicate it to you, Beautiful," he said proudly.
Before Cassie could object to the idea, Charles started to sing the song to her.

(Thanks for the link Candygwen)
Cassie was in a daze when she heard Charles sing.
"Well beautiful what do you think?" asked Charles.
"Yeah sure you are welcome to participate." said Cassie.
"Great I knew you couldn't say no." said Charles kissing Cassie.
Soon Cassie realize that Robin was setting up the Tribute and she didn't tell Charles about.
"Oh no what have I done? Why do I keep getting myself into these thigs?" frustrated Cassie.
Meanwhile Tay and Lizzie was working on some ideas for the show.
"Shouldn't we wait for Robin to get home beofre we do anything?" asked Lizzie.
Batman642
(ur welcome)
"Nah....Robin is cool like that. He'll let us do whatever we want so we might as well get a head start," Tay said with confidence.
"Yeah, you're right," Lizzie agreed.
"Cool. So it's settled then----I'm gonna sing and dance to PYT," Tay decided.
"And me and Kendra are gonna do a duet -- Say Say Say," Lizzie replied.
"Nice. What about Jeron?" Tay asked.
"He didn't make his mind up yet," Lizzie informed her brother.
"Well he better hurry up and decide. For the finale, we're all gonna do the Thriller dance," Tay said.
"I love that dance! I'm glad I learned it already," Lizzie said excited.
"Yeah me too. We might have teach the others," Tay worried.
"They'll catch on fast, Tay. Don't worry," Lizzie assured him.
"I know Jeron and Kendra will, but what about Cassie?" Tay continued worrying.
"Cassie knows it too. But I'll make sure she brushes up on it," Lizzie said as she pulled out her cell and dialed her sister.
Candygwen
Soon Cassie cell phone rang.
"Lizzie what!?!" annoyed Cassie.
"Have you came up with an idea what you want to do for the show yet?" asked Lizzie.
"No Lizzie I've been busy with other stuff." said Cassie.
"Then make time Cassie because it'll be showtime before you even know it." said Lizzie.
"Alright but do you mind I spending time with Charles." said Cassie.
"No but you better not get pregnant before the tribute." said Lizzie hanging up.
"OOOOOOh I could just ring her neck right now." angered Cassie.
"Who was that?"asked Charles.
"My annoying sister who else. She keeps bugging me about the tribute." said Casie.
"Come on beautiful this MJ tribute means alot to them it would be nice as a big sister to help them out." said Charles.
"I guess you're right." said Cassie.
"We may as well head back and get started." said Charles.
Meanwhile back at the hospital the doctor was checking on Eddie.
Batman642
"Doc, I thought I'd be released by now. What's the hold up?" Eddie wanted to know.
"We're not taking any chances---you know---because of what happened to the King of Pop," the doctor explained.
"What's that got to do with me?" Eddie asked.
"You had a mild heart attack and he died of cardiac arrest. Need I say more?" the doctor replied.
"You're penalizing me for what happened to Michael Jackson? I can't believe this!" Eddie fumed.
"Just calm down, Mr. Sutton. It's just a precaution," the doctor tried to console Eddie as he checked his vitals.
After awhile, he put his stethoscope away.
"Well???" Eddie asked anxiously.
The doctor smiled. "You're free to go. I'll sign your discharge papers," he said.
Eddie let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Hallelujah!!!" he shouted.
Then he picked up the phone and called Jenn withi the good news.
Candygwen
"Really thank God I thought you are going to be stuck at the hospital forever." said Jenn.
"I was worry for a minute there because of the whole MJ situation they were still running tests on me." said Eddie.
"Can you blame them Eddie? This is serious business." said Jenn.
"But I just had a Minor Heart Attack." said Eddie.
"Eddie that is still serious business Minor or not. You shouldn't take this lightly. No one expected MJ to died of Cardiac Arrest. This mean you are getting older and you need to start taking better care of yourself. Now maybe next time you listen to me." said Jenn.
"Whatever Jenn!!! Are you going to pick me up?" asked Eddie.
"Sure I'll be there in afew minutes." said Jenn.
Batman642
Meanwhile, Danny and Sage are also planning their acts for the MJ Tribute.
"So it's settled. We're gonna do 'The Way You Make Me Feel', right Sage?"
"Yeah, Danny. I've got the perfect micro mini skirt to wear. I can't wait to strut across the stage in it!" she said as she held up the tiny skirt and showed it to him.
Danny smiled. "And I'll be right behind you, baby, singing."
"I have to admit, I didn't know you could sing, Danny!"
"There's alot you don't know about me," he replied.
"So let's start rehearsing!" she suggested.
"I've got a better idea. Let's go down to the Rev and rehearse on the actual stage," he told her.
"But how are we gonna get in? Isn't it still locked up?"
"Yeah, but I've got a key. I never gave it back after Mike's funeral," he said with a mischevious grin.
"Cool! Let's go!" Sage agreed as she dropped the skirt on the bed and headed for the door.
"Hold on there, Sage!" he said as he stepped in front of her. "Bring that skirt with you. I need inspiration!"
Sage laughed, grabbed the skirt and the two of them hurried ouit of the house.
Meanwhile, Jenn starts out on her way to the hospital to pick up Eddie. As she comes downstairs, she sees Tay, Lizzie, Kendra and Jeron doing the Thriller Dance in the livingroom.
"Hey kids, that looks great! Your Dad and I used to do the Thriller Dance together," she bragged.
"No way, Mom! Really?" Lizzie asked, surprised.
"Yes, REALLY!! But why are you guys doing it now? Is this your way of grieving?" Jenn asked.
"We're practicing for the MJ Tribute at the Rev," Tay told his mother.
"MJ Tribute?"
"Yeah! Robin owns the Rev, you know. And he gave us permision to put on a show to honor MJ. Cool huh?" Tay asked.
"I'll say! That's a GREAT idea! I wish your father and I could be a part of it. We loved Michael Jackson back in the 80's.)
"So why can't you?" Lizzie asked.
"DUH!!! Dad's in the hospital, Lizzie!!" Tay remarked, annoyed.
"Actually, Tay, I'm on my way to pick him up. He's getting discharged," Jenn corrected her son.
"Oh. Cool. So then why CAN'T you be in the show?" Tay asked.
"I don't think Eddie is up to it," Jenn explained.
"Well at least come and watch, okay?" Lizzie asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Jenn promised. "Do you guys want to come with me to pick up your father?" she offered.
"No, but could you drop us off at the Rev? We want to practice this dance on the stage," Tay answered.
"Sure, I've got no problem with that. Only......how are you gonna get in? Isn't the Rev locked ujp?" Jenn asked.
"Lizzie called Robin's mom and she's got the keys," Tay replied. "She'll meet us there."
"Okay, well shake a leg, you guys, because your father is anxious to get out of the hospital," Jenn rushed them as she headed out the front door.
The kids gathered up their cds and dvds and hurried out behind her.

Meanwhile Danny & Sage arrived at the Rev. Sage was impressed with the new Rev. new look.
"Wow this place looks wonderful. It's way better than it origanally look." said Sage.
"This was Robin's idea and it needed a new style." said Danny.
"It's almost looks like a dance club/studio. Robin got a great imagination." said Sage.
"Speaking of studio. Let do practice our performace in this studio." said Danny as he was geting horny.
"Danny it's a studio." said Sage.
"Oh come on it's not like anyone else is going to be here. It's not even open yet." said Danny.
Soon Sage striped down to her bra and panties and threw her blouse at Danny and soon Danny started chasing Sage all over the Rev. Then he grabbed Sage in took her to the studio and turned off the lights.
Batman642
Meanwhile, Jenn had her kids and Jeron and Kendra in the car, headed for the Rev and Monica was on her way to meet them there with an extra set of keys that Robin gave her for safekeeping.
Both cars pulled up in front of the Rev at just about the same time and parked. The four kids piled out of the car, excited and anxious to get inside. They ran over to Monica's car.
"Hi Miss Monica!" Lizzie greeted her with a big smile.
"Hello Lizzie!"
Lizzie introduced Kendra. "And you know my brother, Tay and Jeron," she added.
"Yes, I remember them from Thanksgiving. Good to see you guys."
Then Jenn approached Monica's car.
"Thanks for meeting us here, Monica. I know it was short notice, but the kids are so excited about putting on this Tribute," Jenn explained.
"I understand, Jenn, and it's no problem at all. Just let me know what date the show is so that I can be here in the front row!" Monica laughed.
"We haven't set a date yet, but it's gonna be soon. Robin's coming back for it and so is Lulu," Lizzie told her.
"Is that so?" Monica asked, surprised. "I haven't spoken to Robin lately."
Lizzie looked puzzled. "You haven't spoken to Robin? But why?" she asked.
Jenn nudged her daughter. "Lizzie, mind your business."
"Anyway, here are the keys," Monica said, handing them to Lizzie. "Go ahead and unlock the place while I chat with your Mom. I'll be in shortly."
Lizzie took the keys and she and the other kids ran to the entrance of the Rev while Jenn waited for Monica to get out of her car and lock up.
"So you'll stay here with the kids, Monica?" Jenn asked.
"Yes of course, Jenn. There's no way I'd let them stay here alone---anything could happen."
"I wish I could stay with you but I've gotta get to the hospital to pick up Eddie," Jenn explained.
"Go, go, by all means, go Jenn. We'll be fine!" Monica assured her.
Jenn smiled and gave her a quick hug. "Thanks, Monica. You're a god send."
The women parted company---Jenn went back to her car and Monica headed for the Rev, where the four kids had just stepped inside.

"Hmm that's odd!!!" confused Monica.
"What do you mean?" asked Lizzie.
"The door is already open." said Monica.
"Maybe the Renovators left it opened." said Tay.
"Well I think it's kinda' irreponsible for them to do that Tay." said Monica.
"Robin should have a word with them about that." said Lizzie.
"I agree." said Monica.
"Wow look at this place. It's looks amazing." said Kendra.
"I know Robin has great taste." said Lizzie.
"Man this place is phat." said Jeron.
"Huh?" confused Monica.
"It's slang for cool Ms. Monica." said Lizzie.
"Check out these rooms, an art room, music room, dance room, and a pair of high heel shoes." said Tay as he saw them on the floor.
"Hey check out these sexy silky panties." Jeron picked up.
"Boy put that down." said Monica.
Jeron hid the panties in his back pocket. Lizzie soon spotted a pair of boxer shorts and dress clothes.
"What on earth is going on here?" asked Kendra.
I don't know but whoever or whatever it is I don't like it and you not going to them disrespecting my son's business." said Monica.
Then suddenly they heard noise of moaning and groaning then it turned into freaky noises. It was coming from the studio.
"Oh yes yes YES!!!" screamed Sage.
"Who's you daddy? Who's your' daddy." yelled Danny.
"OH HELL NO!!" YELLED MONICA.
Monica and the kids barged into the studio on Danny and Sage. They were all shocked!!!
Batman642
(sorry for the delay!!)
Sage screamed when she saw the small crowd staring at her and Danny. She pushed him off of her and ran, butt naked, away from everyone's view.
Danny scrambled to get up off of the floor, also butt naked, and ran cursing behind Sage.
Monica took off running behind both of them, also cursing and furious.
The kids stood there, still in shock.
"Can you BELIEVE this Lizzie? First we bust Chassie, and now Sage and Danny!! Maaaaan.....we live around a bunch of FREAKS for real!!!" Tay remarked, scratching his head.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I wanna see what Miss Monica is gonna do to them!" Lizzie said anxiously as she headed in the direction of Danny, Sage and Monica.
Kendra, Tay and Jeron followed.
Candygwen
(That's alright welcome back Candygwen)
As Tay, Lizzie, Kendra, & Jeron watched, Monica was chasing and beating Danny with her purse. Both Sage and Danny was running in the street butt naked.
"Damn Tay no wonder you like Sage. You got good taste dawg." said Jeron.
"Wow I never realize there was a whole lot of Sage." shocked Tay as his mouth opened.
"Tay you're drooling." said Lizzie.
"Oops!!" embarrased Tay.
"This is so going on my myspace page." said Jeron as he snapped a picture of Sage on his cell.
Lizzie and Kendra both smacked Jeron.
"Owww!!! What was that for?" surprised Jeron.
"Freak!!!" said Lizzie.
"Geez sorry I promise the next time you take a shower I snappe picture of you." said Jeron.
"OMG!!" disgusted Lizzie as she stormed back in the Rev.
"Lizzie it was a joked!!! I didn't mean anything like that." said Jeron chasing after her.
Soon more and more people was watching Sage and Danny running around in their birthday suits. Everyone was laughing and pointing and snapping pictures suddenly the police car arrived and the cop arrested both Sage and Danny indecent exporsure. The police cover them with towels and put them in the squad car and we everyone was booing and throwing things at the police.
Batman642
(thanks!)
Back in the Rev, Monica was still furious. "God, I wish I could leave you kids here alone! I want to go down to that Police Station and press trespassing charges on those two!"
"No, Miss Monica. Please don't do that!" Lizzie begged.
"I know you guys want to rehearse---don't worry," Monica consoled Lizzie.
"And it's not only that, Miss Monica. That's Sage---my dad's ex-partners' daughter. She's kinda sorta like family. The black sheep of the family, that is," Lizzie explained.
"Yeah, and the dude---that was Danny---he used to manage the Rev before Robin bought it," Tay added.
"Are they friends of yours?" Monica asked Tay.
"She is. He definitely IS NOT. But he's not worth getting all worked up about, ma'am," Tay replied.
"Well.......I GUESS they'll suffer enough even if I don't go down to the station," Monica decided.
So the kids started practicing their Thriller Dance as Monica watched from the sidelines.
Candygwen
Meanwhile Jenn arrived at the hospital to pick up Eddie. When she got there she saw Eddie already dressed and ready to go.
"Wow look like someone is anxious to get out of here." said Jenn.
"Jenn two days of lying bed and eating hospital food is enough. I am ready to go." said Eddie.
"Eddie shouldn't you wait for a nurse to come and check you out?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn you my personal nurse." said Eddie.
"Be pateince Eddie." said Jenn.
The two wait for the nurse to come while they watching the news about MJ. Soon they saw a shocking coverage of Sage and Danny running around butt naked on t.v.
"What the hell?!?" shocked Eddie.
Batman642
"Welcome to the latest Channel 8 News. I'm Martha Johnson with our latest story. As you can see, there were two people caught running through the streets of Lincoln Heights without any clothes on. They were identified as Sage and Danny from The Rev. We'll have more information later on tonight. Thank you," the anchorwoman said.
"Wow, Jenn. Lund will be pissed off when he sees this," Eddie said.
"You got that right! If that were Cassie and Charles, I wouldn't let them leave the house again," said Jenn.
Back at Mrs. Antoni's mansion, Cassie and Charles were spending quality time with Collin and Kalie in the backyard on the swingset. Cassie and Collin were playing on the slide, while Charles and Kalie were swinging together.
"C'mon Collin and Mommy! Play with me and Daddy!" Kalie screamed.
"Coming Kay Kay!" Collin yelled.
Colin ran to the swings with Kalie.
"Here buddy; let me give you a push," Charles insisted.
Charles got the twins started again on the swings and went to go talk to Cassie on the bench.
"Cassie, how long are you going to be mad to me? It's starting to get a little ridiculous. Even the twins are starting to notice!" Charles explained.
"Look Charles, until you come clean to the police about what really happened to Mack, I will never forgive you," Cassie exclaimed.
"Not even if I have the most romantic evening planned out for us tonight? I'm thinking of a romantic candlelight dinner on the beach. Then, we could go back to La Hotel de Fancy, the best hotel in all of Los Angeles. We get to stay there overnight in the 'Romantic Suite' and in the morning, you get to have a free day at the hotel spa. The twins are already taken care of. Lizzie and my mom promised to watch them for tonight."
"Oh Charles. That sounds really sweet. Maybe I'll reconsider."

Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin was packing everything.
"Well that's the last of it." said Robin.
"I still can't believe the semester is over. It is going to be so weird heading back to the Lincoln Heights." said Lulu.
"Yeah tell me about it. I almost feel a home here." said Robin.
"It's definitely going to take some getting used to. Have you called your mom yet?" asked Lulu.
"I'll call her when we arrived home." said Robin.
"I can't wait to see the new Rev. and perform the Tribute for MJ." said Lulu.
"I hope the new Rev turned out better as I planned." said Robin.
"It will." said Lulu as she kissed Robin.
Then Tawanna barged in.
"Excuse you two can y'all help me packed my stuff." said Tawanna.
"Most people knock before coming in a room." said Robin.
"Whatever boy, just help with my bags please." said Tawanna.
"You are the rudest person I have ever met." said Robin.
"Robin just drop it this is our last day at the ship lets not spoil it by arguing." said Lulu.
"Oh alright." said RObin.
Batman642
Meanwhile, on the way from the hospital, Eddie decides that he wants them to stop at their old house in Lincoln Heights so that Jenn could see what progress has been made on the renovations.
Jenn couldn't believe her eyes when they got there. She was so happy with the way her house looked.
"Oh Eddie! They did such a terific job! I want to move back home ASAP!"
Eddie laughed, glad his wife was happy. "You haven't even seen the inside yet!" he said as they got out of the car and walked up the driveway.
"Eddie, if the OUTSIDE looks like this, I don't even need to see the inside!"
Eddie took her hand as they walked up the steps to the porch. "Well you're gonna see it anyway," he told her as he unlocked the door and flung it opened.
"TA - DAH!!!" he sang proudly.
Jenn gasped. "Oh it's BEAUTIFUL!!!" she remarked as she walked in and gazed at her surroundings.
"I was hoping you'd like it, Jenn," he confided.
"I LOVE it, Eddie!!!" she assured him.
He smiled and grabbed her around the waist. "And I love you," he replied.
"Eddie, I know things are gonna be better between us just as soon as we get out of Marla's house and back here where we belong," she said as he held her in his arms.
"No doubt, Jenn. No doubt," he agreed.
Candygwen
Meanwhile at the police station Kevin Lund got back from lunch break. Everyone was starring and pointing and snickering at him. Some one put a picture on his desk saying father of the year with a playboy bunny.
"Hey Lund you got some daughter." said one of the cop.
"Yeah you're a great role model." laughed the other cop.
"What the hell is going on here? I don't get this joke at all." said Lund.
"Come here I got a surprise for you." laughed the captain.
"Hey word of advice. Keep your daughter on a lease." said the cop.
Lund went to the office and saw Sage in a trenchcoat.
"Sage!?!? What the hell is going on here?" shocked Lund.
Then Lund looked up and saw the news about them.
Batman642
Kevin Lund was horrified at what he saw and asked the Captain and other officer for some privacy to speak with his daughter alone. They obliged and left him and Sage in the office.
Kevin sat across from Sage, visibly shaken, his face as white as a sheet, He just shook his head for awhile looking at the floor not knowing what to say.
The suspense was killing Sage and she couldn't take the silent treatment any longer. "Dad?"
Lund looked up at her. "What have you got to say for yourself, Sage?" he asked.
"I'm sorry???" she replied, uncertain.
"Is that the best you can do?" he asked.
"I don't know what you want me to say, Dad. Do you think I wanted this to happen? Danny and I were alone in the Rev and things got out of hand is all. But we didin't know we were gonna have COMPANY!!! All of a sudden, Ms. Morgan and the Sutton kids and their friends were there GAWKING at us! What was I supposed to do, Dad?"
"Oh, and that was your solution huh? Run out in the street STARK NAKED??!! Nice going, Sage. I should've shot that character right between the eyes when I had my chance...." he said with regret in his voice.
"Dad! It's not DANNY'S fault!!" Sage said defensively.
"Can't you see he has absolutely NO RESPECT for you, Sage? To put you in a position like that---in a public place! You see what happened don't you? Doesn't that stop and make you think twice?" Lund asked, trying to get through to her.
"Oh so YOU'VE never had sex in a public place, Dad???" Sage challenged.
Lund's mouth dropped open in shock. "I can't believe I'm having this conversation with my daughter....."
Sage sat with her arms folded across her chest, waiting for an answer to her question.
Candygwen
But all she can come up with one thing.
"Can we please go home now?" asked Sage with an attitude.
"That's all you can say to me? You know I thought your mother was a piece a work but you take the cake. I just don't undertand you Sage. Just give me a few minutes." said Lund as he stepped out of the office.
Then one of the cops walk pass by and said here's a dollar.
"What's the dollar for?" confused Lund.
"Maybe your daughter can do a private striptease for us." joked the cop.
Then Lund went and attack the cop, beating him to a pulp. Soon the Captain came and broke up the fight.
"I WANT TO SEE BOTH OF YOU IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!!!' yelled the Captain.
Meanwhile back at Marla's house Cassie was getting ready for her evening with Charles and she was excited. Soon Dana knocked to check on Cassie.
Batman642
"Cassie should I set a place for you at the dinner table?" Dana asked as she poked her head into Cassie's room.
"No thanks, Dana. Charles and I are going out tonight," Cassie replied happily.
Dana stepped into her room as she noticed Cassie's attire. "Wow, girl, you look fiiiiiine! I haven't seen you dressed up like that in a long time!"
Cassie giggled. "Thanks, Dana. Are you SURE I look okay?" she asked as she struck a pose.
"POSITIVE! Where are you guys going anyway?" she asked inquisitively as she sat on Cassie's bed and watched her get ready.
"Charles is taking me on a romantic, candlelight dinner date," Cassie replied.
"Easy on the romance, girl. You've already got twins....." Dana reminded her.
Cassie sighed. "I know, I know...."
"Hey! Speaking of ROMANCE, did you see the news today?" Dana asked suddenly.
"No. Why?"
"Our girl Sage was on the news. She had some romance herself with Danny Marinero and got cold busted!"
"I'm not following you, Dana," Cassie replied, puzzled.
"Okay, okay lemme slow down. Sage and Danny were in the Rev doing Lord knows what and got caught in the act and ended up running through the streets naked and got arrested and a film crew caught the whole thing on camera! I can't believe you didn't see it, Cassie!"
"Daaang! Sorry I missed it!" Cassie said, disappointed.
"It's probably on youtube girl," Dana said trying to make her feel better.
"Yeah, you're right. What were they doing at the Rev, I wonder?" Cassie asked.
"Well Jeron and Tay and Lizzie and Kendra were down there earlier practicing for the MJ Tribute," Dana explained.
"I know. But I didn't know Sage and Danny were a part of it too!" Cassie said surprised.
Dana shrugged. "The more the merrier----no? I mean, it's for Michael afterall, Cassie...."
"Yeah, that's why the likes of SAGE shouldn't be any part of it!" Cassie answered.
"Well what about you, Cassie? Are you gonna be part of it?" Dana inquired.
Candygwen
"I guess so!." said reluntant Cassie.
"What do you mean you guess? Are you or aren't you?" asked Dana.
"Lets just say I was forced into this. My precious little sister blackmail me into doing this. There are times that I wish I was an only child." said Cassie.
"Cassie you don't mean that. Anyway I think it will be good if you did that. It will do you some good and it will mean alot to Lizzie and the others." said Dana.
"I suppose you right." said Cassie.
"I know I'm right." said Dana.
Cassie smile alittle.
"Have you heard from Robin and Lulu yet? There semester should be over soon and heading back home." said Dana.
"Please don't remind me." said Cassie not wanting to talk about Robin.
"What?!?" confused Dana.
"I mean their semester is over and they should be returning home I think tomorrow." said Cassie.
"Good because I think we all should do something special when they get here." said Dana.
"I don't think that's a good idea." said Cassie.
"I know it's a good idea we haven't hang out since last year at the beachhouse." said Dana.
Soon Charles came into the door.
"Ready Beautiful? Wow you look stunnily beautiful." said Charles as he saw Cassie in that dress. (Check out the link http://www.contactmusic.com/photos.nsf/main/erica_hubbard_2437768)
"Thanks Charles." said Cassie.
Batman642
[thanks batman642 for the link. i luv erica's pink shoes :-) ]
Cassie and Charles headed out the door towards Marla's Mercedes Benz, happy that she'd given them permission to use it instead of Charles' old pick up truck.
Just as they got ready to back out of the driveway, Eddie and Jenn arrived back from their old house in Lincoln Heights and pulled up behind the Mercedes.
"I hope your folks don't give us any grief, Cassie," Charles told her as he spotted them in the rear view mirror.
"Why would they do that?" Cassie asked. "We're just going out for dinner."
Meanwhile in the Sutton's car, Eddie starts fuming.
"Do they really think they're going out on the town, Jenn?"
"What do you mean, Eddie?" Jenn asked, puzzled.
"Jenn! Look at them! First of all, they're in MARLA'S car. Her expensive, off the chain MERCEDES! Second, look at how they're dressed!"
"Eddie, they deserve some time to themselves," Jenn defended them.
"Have you been drinking Jenn? Time to themselves? Aren't you the one that told me Cassie had a miscarriage? Sounds to me like they've had ENOUGH time to themselves!" Eddie exclaimed as he started to get out of the car to have a word with the young couple
Candygwen
(No problem Candygwen)
Soon Jenn got out quickly and stopped Eddie.
"Eddie Sutton you stop this right now!!!" snapped Jenn.
"I am not going to have another heart attack because of them." said Eddie.
"Leave them alone. They have been through enough." said Jenn.
"What!?!? Are you kidding me? What about what I have been through. And quite frankly I hav had it up to here." said Eddie.
"Eddie I know you are upset about the miscarriaged." said Jenn.
"Upset I am pissed and furious this needs to stop." said Eddie.
"I know but you just got out of the hospital and this fumming over them isn't going do you no justice.Please Eddie let them have their night together." said Jenn.
"Fine and I hope they will enjoyed their night together because this will certainl be there last time because as soon as we move back to our house except for spending time with the twins Charles will no longer allowed to see my daughter." said Eddie.
"Eddie you don't mean that." said Jenn.
"Oh mean it Jenn.I have had it with that boy." said Eddie.
"Eddie you don't understand it's not Charles' fault." said Jenn.
"Jenn will you stop defending that boy. He is a bad seed and bad influence on Cassie." said Eddie.
"You forget it I am not going to argue with you. I will discussed when you are 100% healthy and when you actually got some sense." said Jenn storming in the house.
"Jenn wait up." said Eddie running after her.
"I wonder what that all about?" asked Charles.
"Let just go before they return." said Cassie.
"Sure thing beautiful." said Charles as they drove off.
Meanwhile back at the Rev Jeron, Kendra, Lizzie and Tay were rehearsing their tribute to MJ while Monica is watching.
Batman642
"I'm glad Jeron finally figured out what he's gonna do," Tay whispered to his sister as Jeron sang on stage.
"I know what you mean. It took him awhile, but he picked the perfect song for his voice -- "Ben," Lizzie replied.
"Thank God Miss Monica knew the words from when she was a kid!" Kendra said.
"Yeah....otherwise we would've been up the creek!" Lizzie agreed.
After Jeron finished his solo, everyone clapped.
"Okay, guys, I'd say that's a rap!" Monica announced. "It's getting late, dont you think?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right......" Tay reluctantly agreed.
"Anyway, I've gotta get home and help Miss Marla with the twins," Lizzie remembered.
So they locked up the Rev and Monica drove them all back to Marla's house. Eddie was sitting on the couch in front of the tv when they walked in.
"Daddy!!!! You're home!!! I'm SO HAPPY!!!" Lizzie greeted him, hugging him tight around the neck.
"It's great to be back with my family," Eddie said.
"Hey Dad! Welcome home!" Tay said with a little wave and smile.
"Thanks son," Eddie replied. "I heard you all were rehearsing for an MJ Tribute. How'd it go?" he inquired.
"It's going great, Dad. Lizzie and Kendra are gonna do "Say Say Say," I'm doing "Bad," Jeron is doing Ben, and the finale is gonna be the Thriller Dance. I think Charles and Cassie are performing too but I'm not sure what," Tay explained.
"Well they left here awhile ago and from the way they were dressed it didn't look like they were going to rehearse anything," Eddie said, annoyed.
"Cassie better not let us down if she knows what's good for her!" Lizzie replied, just as annoyed.
"So when is this show gonna be anyway?" Eddie asked.
Candygwen
"Well as soon as Robin gets back from Sea School he will give us the details. We going to have it at Rev and Robin gave us the okay. So hopefully the tribute will very soon." said Lizzie.
"Wow that's great that you kids and Robin are showing love for MJ and doing something positive for the community." said Eddie.
"We have to do something to lift eveyone spirits." said Jeron.
"So when is Robin coming?" asked Eddie.
"He should be back tomorrow." said Lizzie.
"That's good looks like you kids have alot of work on your hands but with Robin help this will turn out well. I can't wait to see the tribute." said Eddie.
"Yeah I am so excited." said Kendra.
Meanwhile Charles and Cassie arrived at the beach.
"Charles what are we doing at the beach?" asked Cassie.
"To have dinner of course surprise." said Charles
Cassie saw a candle light picnic like dinner and she was impressed
Batman642
"Do you remember our dinner on the beach last year, Cassie? At the beach house?" Charles asked as they sat down and got comfortable.
"Yeah I do, Charles. It seems like such a long time ago. So much has happened since then," she said sadly.
Charles reached over and lifted her chin gently and looked into her eyes. "But we're still together, Cassie. No matter what, we're still together. And you know why?"
Cassie nodded. "Because we love each other---that's why," she replied.
"That's right. And we belong together, Cassie. You and me---we're made for each other. There's nobody else out there for me, Cassie. You're it for me."
"And one day, we'll get married. Right?" she asked.
"Of course. It's not like I don't want to marry you, Cassie. We've tried over and over but it never works out. But one day, when the time is right, you'll be Mrs. Antoni," he replied.
"You mean, Mrs. Sutton-Antoni," she corrected him with a smile.
He smiled back. "Okay, Beautiful. Whatever you say," he agreed.
Cassie sighed, happy again. "So what's for dinner? I'm hungry," she said.
"Well then, wait til you see what I've got for you!" he said, excited.
Candygwen
"I got pizza, sparkling grape juice, bread sticks and cheese dip." said Charles.
"You went all out." said Cassie.
"All for you beautiful." said Charles.
"What no music?" laughed Cassie.
"We got music just listen to the ocean." said Charles.
But when Cassie listen to the ocean she started to think about Robin. Cassie was still holding a little against Robin and she wanted to focus on Charles.
"Turned on the car radio Charles." said Cassie.
"What for beautiful?" asked Charles.
"It would be more romantic." said Cassie.
"Anything you say beautiful." said Charles.
Charles turned on the radio it started playing MJ song lady in my life. The two started to slow dance and soon started to kiss and make out.
Meanwhile back at Sea School everyone except for Robin was celebrating and partying their last night on the ship. Robin was on his laptop watching clips. He came across a clip of MJ last rehearsal (Go to the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qE22UOlQts). When Robin saw this it gave him an idea for what he want to do for the MJ tribute and to impress Cassie.
"This is perfect. This is the perfect way to make it up to Cassie. I can do the number MJ rehease on This Is It tour and plus I can get the backstage performers from the O2 concerts." said Robin.
But Robin have to keep everything quiet to make it work. Then Lulu showed up.
"Boo what are you doing? You are missing the party." said Lulu.
Batman642
Startled, Robin quickly closed his laptop. "Oh! Coming, Lulu!"
Lulu looked at him suspiciously and frowned. "You'd better not be looking at internet porn, Robin..." she warned.
"I've only got eyes for you---Scout's Honor," he said as he held up two fingers.
"Well..........I GUESS I believe you. Come join us, okay?" she invited him.
"I will. Just gimme a sec," he promised.
Meanwhile, back at the Antoni mansion, Eddie has turned off the tv downstairs and is upstairs in the bedroom with Jenn getting ready to retire for the evening.
"It's so nice having you back next to me, Eddie. I was lonely in this big bed all alone," Jenn sighed.
He grinned. "Maybe now you'll appreciate me more," he teased.
"Yeah, RIGHT!" Jenn teased back.
"Jenn, can you believe Charles and Cassie aren't back yet?" he asked, changing the subject and looking at the clock.
"Eddie......DON'T START. It's not that late," she replied.
"Jenn, it's almost 10pm. Do you know where your children are????"
Jenn sighed. "You're impossible. Have some faith in your daughter, will you?"
"I tried that and it didn't work, Jenn."
"Well try HARDER. I haven't given up on Cassie and neither should you. And I DON"T think we should be talking about those two anyway because it only upsets you."
"Well then maybe you should tell her to change her ways so that I wouldn't HAVE to talk about her!" Eddie suggested as he got under the cover and turned out the light.
Jenn sighed again. "Eddie, if it'll make you feel better, I'll have a serious talk with our daugher. Now please, stop thinking about Cassie and Charles and start thinking happy thoughts. You want to stay out of the hospital, remember?"
"Right. Happy thoughts," he repeated getting drowsy.
"And you forgot to kiss me goodnight," she added.
"Oops. My bad...." he apologized as he turned over and kissed her.
Meanwhile, Dana, Lizzie and Marla were getting the twins and Natalie ready for bed.
Candygwen
"So Lizzie when is the tribute?" asked Dana.
"I don't know. Robin is suppose to be here tomorrow and give us some details." said Lizzie.
"Robin?" confused Marla.
"Yeah we asked Robin if we can have the MJ tribute at the Rev. and not only he gave us the okay but he wants to help as well." said Lizzie.
"Isn't that wonderful?" asked Dana.
"What a delight." said Marla sarcasticly.
"What that suppose to mean?" asked Dana notice Marla change of attitude.
"Nothing let just put the kids to bed." said Marla.
"Umm Lizzie you better get to bed you have alot of work to do tomorrow." said Dana.
"Okay night Dana! Night Mrs. Antoni." said Lizzie.
"Night!!" said Dana & Marla.
"What is your problem? You have problem with Robin or something?" asked Dana.
"I don't but my son do. What if he decides to participate and finds Robin is running the whole thing?" asked Marla.
"Girl please is not thinking about that boy." said Dana.
"You know how Robin and Charles are." said Marla.
"Robin is too busy to worry about Charles and even if Charles was a part of the show and I don't think he would Robin stand in the way paying tribute." said Dana.
"I hope you're right." said Marla.
Meanwhile back at the beach Chassie was making out. Things was going well until Cassie strted to think about Robin, Jenn and Eddie.
"Chales don't" said Cassie she tried to pull away.
"Oh come on the night is perfect." said Charles kiss all over Cassie.
"Charles this is gone far enough." said Cassie.
"But baby I want to go too far." said Charles as he tried to take offCassie's dress.
"Charles STOP!!!" yelled Cassie.
"Cassie what is i?" asked Charles concerned.
"Charles it's getting late my dad is back at home and we caught by Nate, Lizzie and Tay and company. If we stay out longer my dad will get suspicous and I don't want to upset him and put him back in the hospital." said Cassie.
"(Sigh) I guess you're right." said disappointed Charles.
"Thanks for the lovely evening Charles. I really needed that. You really are my prince." said Cassie as she kissed Charles.
"Anything for you beautiful." said Charles as he smile.
Batman642
So Chassie packed everything up and took a nice ride home in the moonlight with the top down on Marla's convertible.
Meanwhile, Lizzie is in her bedroom getting dressed for bed when she realizes that she forgot to include Devin in the plans for the MJ Tribute. She looks at the clock and decides it's not too late to call him and invite him to participate, so she does.
"An MJ Tribute, Lizard? For real? I'm TOTALLY down for that!" Devin agreed when he heard about it.
"Oh cool. I figureed you would be," Lizzie replied, relieved. "So sleep on it and decide what song you're gonna perform. Just one thing, Devin. You can't do BEN or PYT or BAD because Tay and Jeron have picked those songs already."
"Those songs are whack anyway. As soon as you asked me, I knew what song to do," he boasted with confidence.
"Oh yeah? What song is that?" Lizzie asked, curious.
"Dirty Diana! My favorite!" Devin told her, excited.
"Hmmm....I wonder why...." Lizzie replied sarcastically. "Anyway, we're gonna be at the Rev tomorrow for rehearsal so meet us there, k?"
"You bet. Thanks Lizzie."
"Good night, Devin."
Lizzie went to bed with a smile on her face and so did he.
Candygwen
Meanwhile after Marla and Dana put Natalie and the twins to bed they decided to watch televison Marla recieved a phone call and it was Bill saying he will be home tomorrow.
"Are you really?" asked Marla.
"Yeah there was word that someone in Linclon Heights is doing an MJ tribute so I have to see for myself and take some picutres." said Bill.
Batman642
"Oh my God!!" Marla responded, excited.
"What's wrong?!" Bill asked, alarmed.
Marla laughed. "Oh nothing! Nothing's WRONG---it's just that the kids here are doing the tribute! Jenn's kids and their friends!"
"You don't say? Small world, huh? Well, I guess I'll be covering their story!" Bill said, happy.
"So then I should be seeing you soon then!"
"Absolutely. Are you a part of the show?" Bill teased.
"Very funny! I'll be a part of the AUDIENCE---that's about it, Bill!"
"Oh come now, Marla. I bet you've got plenty of talent just waiting to be discovered...." he flattered her.
"Well now this is true, Bill, but I think I only want CERTAIN people to discover my talent."
"I hope I'm one of them."
Then Marla thought about what Dana told her --- how she was making things too easy for Bill--and she cut him short.
"Uh......Bill.......someone's trying to get me on the other line. I'll talk to you later, okay?" she forced herself to lie.
"Oh," he sounded disappointed. "Alright then--talk to you later, Marla."
When Marla got off of the phone, Dana was smiling at her and nodding with approval. "You're FINALLY learning!" she said.
Candygwen
(btw, thanks for the last rehearsal link batman642)
Suddenly they heard a noise. Dana and Marla went to the living room to see what was going on. They saw Charles and Cassie walking in door.
"I really had a great time Charles. Thanks again for a romantic evening." said Cassie.
"I just want to letyou know you mean the whole world and I am never going anyone take you away from because if they do I will kill them." said Charles as kiss Cassie goodnight.
"Oh excuse me!" said Marla interupting.
"Mom, Dana! How long have you two been watching?" shocked Charles.
"Long enough for you take a long cold shower." said Marla.
"I gotcha. See you inthe morning beautiful." said Charles running upstairs.
"Night Charles!." said Cassie.
"Look like you two had a great evening." said Dana.
(No problem Candygwen)
Batman642
Cassie flashed a big, genuinely happy smile. "We did...." she said dreamily. "We've had our ups and downs, but I SO love Charles!"
Dana and Marla looked at each other, amused.
"Yeah, you SO love him until tomorrow when you wanna wring his neck!" Dana teased.
"Excuse me.....I SAID we have ups and downs. This just happens to be an UP moment," Cassie explained.
"Well please try to keep things on the up and up for awhile, Cassie," Marla added.
"I'll try, Mrs. A," Cassie promised as she started up the stairs.
"Cassie, wait. I need to talk with you----just you and me," Marla said, hinting to Dana.
Dana frowned. "Good night, you two," she said as she stomped up the stairs, insulted.
"Don't go away mad, just go away!" Marla told her.
Then she took Cassie by the hand and led her into the den and closed the door.
"Have a seat," she told Cassie.
Cassie sat down, sensing Marla's serious mood.
"What's wrong, Mrs. A? Did the kids give you a hard time? Did we stay out too late?' she asked, worried.
Marla sat next to her on the couch and took Cassie's hands in hers and looked her straight in the eye.
"Please don't hurt my son anymore, Cassie. Don't break his heart---please," she said.
Cassie was taken aback. "What? I wouldn't---"
But Marla didn't let her finish her sentence.
"Cassie, sometimes you do and say things and don't realize the impact you have on Charles. You are absolutely his whole world, Cassie. I don't know if he's your world, but believe me when I tell you, you are HIS WORLD. If you hurt him again, it could kill him, and I'm not gonna sit by and watch that happen, Cassie."
Cassie tried to get a word in edgewise but couldn't as Marla continued talking:
"I know that Robin is coming tomorrow and he's having some big bash for Michael Jackson at the Rev. And you and I both know the history between Robin and Charles and you. So I'm counting on you Cassie to do EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER to make sure Charles doesn't get the wrong idea about you and Robin. Now---are you and Charles going to the event at the Rev or not?" Marla asked as she held Cassie's hands even tighter.
Cassie nodded and gulped, nervous.
"So I suggest you get a game plan and fast. Make sure Charles doesn't have ANY REASON to get the wrong idea about you and Robin---do you hear me? I love my son, and I DON'T want him to go off of the deep end over you, Cassie. You got that?" Marla questioned her.
"But how can I control what Charles thinks?" Cassie asked in a weak voice.
"Just don't send any mixed signals, Cassie. I know you and Robin are friends and all, but for Christ sake....."
"We're not even that friendly anymore, Mrs. A, so it shouldn't be a problem," Cassie informed her.
Marla looked puzzled. "Not friendly? Since when?"
Cassie started to feel uncomfortable with the conversation.
"Well........after the plane crash.....and then Charles getting stabbed.....I dunno.....everything was just going wrong and.....oh....I dunno...we're just not that friendly anymore," Cassie stammered, avoiding the truth.
Marla's expression changed from puzzled to suspicious as her woman's intuition started to kick in. "Cassie......did something go on between you and Robin???" she asked, point blank.
Cassie's hands started to sweat as Marla continued holding them. "Uh.......NO!" she blurted out, agitated.
"Caaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssiiiieeeeeeee........." Marla persisted, staring her down in a motherly sort of way.
Cassie yanked her hands out of Marla's and stood up abruptly. "I said NO!!" she repeated angrily.
Then she stormed out of the den, leaving Marla sitting alone on the couch with her mouth wide opened in disbelief, shocked at Cassie's guilty reaction.
"Oh my God......" Marla said outloud to herself. "Oh............my...........GOD!"
Candygwen
Soon Jenn went downstairs to get a glass of milk and spotted Marla sitting by her couch in shocked.
"Hey Marla is everything okay?" asked Jenn.
"I wish it was." said Marla.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn I'm really worry about my son." said Marla.
Batman642
Jenn sat next to Marla, sensing that something serious was going on. "What's wrong with Charles?" she asked, concerned.
"Oh Jenn......." Marla sighed, "nothing is wrong with him YET. But if he ever finds out....." She didn't finish.
Jenn's heart started to pound as she feared the worst. "Finds out..........WHAT, Marla?" she asked, playing dumb and hoping Marla didn't know about Robin and Cassie.
Marla stayed quiet. She didn't have the heart to tell Jenn that she was almost positive Cassie and Robin had crossed the line, but little did Marla know that Jenn already knew.
"Marla?"
"Jenn-----I just need to be alone right now," she finally said. "I can't talk about it."
"Marla, whatever effects Charles ultimately effects my daughter."
Marla shot Jenn a look. "Is that so? And what about vice versa? Whatever Cassie does effects Charles too!" she said defensively.
Jenn's heart sank as she realized Marla must be referring to Cassie and Robin. "Then you do know about......."
"ROBIN," Marla said as she angrily finished Jenn's sentence for her.
"Oh Marla....." Jenn sighed.
"How could Cassie DO something like this? I TRUSTED her, Jenn! I helped her sneak out and go to Mike's funeral so that she could be there for Robin as a FRIEND. And this is how she repays me? By making a fool out of my son?!"
"Shhh!!! Not so loud---someone might hear you!" Jenn said as she got up and closed the door.
"And how long have YOU known about this?" Marla asked.
"I just figured it out while Cassie was in the hospital," Jenn replied sadly.
"I'm not following you, Jenn. What's the hospital got to do with this?" Marla asked.
Jenn avoided answering the question by asking a question of her own. "Marla, how did YOU find out?"
"Just a few minutes ago---by accident. I was just trying to talk some sense into Cassie because I found out Robin's coming to town and I didn't want any more trouble between him and Charles. But Cassie was so nervous and DEFENSIVE, and she said she's not even friendly with Robin anymore which makes no sense at all, and I just put two and two together."
"Oh I see...." Jenn responded, deep in thought.
"Jenn," Marla continued, "did Cassie's stay in the hospital have anything to do with ROBIN???"
Jenn stood up, refusing to sell out her daughter completely. "I've said too much already, Marla," she said as she started to leave the den.
"Jenn!!"
"I'm sorry, Marla. Just know that what Cassie says is true---she's done with Robin," she said trying to make her feel better.
"Jenn, you OWE me an explanation! After all I've done for you guys? The LEAST you can do is let me know what's going on with the mother of my grandkids!" she said, trying to play the sympathy card.
"If and when Cassie is ready, she's the one that should tell you, Marla---not me. But for your son's sake, just leave it alone. Let dead dogs lie," Jenn advised as she turned and walked out.
Candygwen
"I need a drink!" said Marla.
Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin & Lulu decided to leave the party and hangout at the Sky Deck on the last night.
"Can't believe the semester is over." said Lulu.
"I know it seems it went by so fast." said Robin.
"Have you called home to have your mother pick you up yet?" asked Lulu.
"Actually I one of my relative is going to pick us up." said Robin.
"How come Miss Monica isn't going to pick you up?" asked Lulu.
"Umm just busy I guess." lied Robin.
"Isn't this night beautiful Boo?" asked Lulu as she holding Robin's arm.
"Yeah it's a beautiful scenerery. A Full moon, sparkling ocean." said RObin.
"Look their Dolphins jumping up." said Lulu.
"Hey guys." said Robin waving.
Soon the two sat down and watched the scenerey.
"This is so romantic." said Lulu yawning.
"Yeah very romantic." said Robin.
Soon someone from the party was playing MJ songs You Are My Life ( Check out link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_15tALSO5M).
"May I have this dance?" asked RObin.
"Sure Boo." said Lulu
The two started to slow on the sky dance.

[thanks for the link batman642. beautiful song]
Meanwhile, Cassie is in her room quietly crying in her pillow, upset over her conversation with Marla, when she hears a faint knock at her door.
"Mrs. A, please leave me alone!" she shouted.
Her door opened anyway, and it wasn't Mrs. Antoni, but instead it was Jenn.
Cassie looked startled and quickly got up, trying to hide the fact that she was crying. "Mom! What are you doing up so late?"
Jenn closed the door behind her and sat on the bed next to her. "I needed some milk---I couldn't sleep What are you doing
in here crying?"
"I was trying to be quiet," Cassie answered. "You heard me anyway?"
"No, but I saw the light shining underneath your door," she explained.
"Oh."
"And I just finished talking with Marla," Jenn continued.
"OH."
"So she figured out that you and Robin hooked up?"
Cassie nodded sadly. "I don't know how, but she did. Mom did you tell her?"
"Cassie! I'm surprised you would even ask me that question! No I didn't tell her! I found her in the den and she was upset about it and how Charles is gonna take it!"
"How Charles is gonna take it??? She can't tell Charles!!!" Cassie replied horrified by the thought.
"Calm down! I didn't say she was gonna tell Charles. But she seems to think he's gonna eventually find out," Jenn said.
"He can't EVER find out, Mom!" Cassie said crying again.
Jenn hugged her daughter sympathizing with her plight. "There, there, don't you worry," she consoled her.
After a good cry, Cassie looked up at Jenn. "Mom, how can you be so nice to me? I don't deserve it...."
"Cassie, honey, I love you, and as far as I'm concerned you deserve nothing but the best. You made a mistake, you're sorry, and I forgive you."
"Charles wouldn't---I just know it."
"Don't be so sure," Jenn advised.
"I'm not chancing it, Mom. Once was enough. He forgave me when it happened on the cruise and I promised it would never happen again. I can't let him know I broke that promise----no way," Cassie vowed.
"Listen, it's late and we're not accomplishing anything here, Cassie. You're just getting yourself all worked up over this and it's not healthy. Don't forget you were hospitalized not too long ago and you're not 100% back to norrmal. So try to get some sleep and stop worrying so much. I'm sure everything will work out just fine," Jenn assured her as she got up.
Cassie looked hopeful, appreciating Jenn's positive attitude. "Do you really think so, Mom?"
Jenn smiled. "Of course," she said as she blew Cassie a kiss and closed the door.
As she walked back to her own bedroom, Jenn felt a bit guilty for lying to her daughter like that.
Candygwen
(No Problem Candygwen)
"Now how am I going to tell Eddie that the baby Cassie lost isn't Charles and it's really Robin's baby? And should I tell her? I got to keep both Charles and Eddie away from each other until I figure something out." said Jenn to herself.
The nex morning back at Sea School Robin and Lulu both woke up and found they fallen asleep on the sky deck.
"Wow that was really romantic." said Lulu.
"Yeah and we officially back on shore." said Robin.
"Well that sucks." said Lulu.
"I've better finished packing." said Robin.
"I've better call Cassie." said Lulu.
Robin went back to his cabin suite to finish packing and he wanted to keep watching MJ rehearsal for O2 concert. Lulu called Cassie. Cassie qoke up quickly out of bed and saw her cellphone ringing.
Batman642
She groaned when she picked up her cell and saw Lulu's name in the caller i.d. She was tempted to not answer, but then felt bad so she took the call.
"Hey girl," she said, sounding down and out.
"What the heck is wrong with you?! You sound like you just got run over by a truck!" Lulu teased.
"Girl I'm beat and you woke me up...."
"Oops! Sorry! I'm just so excited, Cassie! We're back on shore and soon we'll be back home!" she squealed.
Cassie rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up completely. "Lulu, are your parents back in your house yet?"
"I don't think so. I haven't heard anything. I'm gonna stay with Robin and Miss Monica in their new house! In separate rooms of course!"
"New house?"
"Yeah, girl! Robin didn't tell you his mom bought a new house? It's big like Mrs. Antoni's house---you should see the pictures!" Lulu continued.
"Oh....no wonder you're so excited," Cassie replied. (I can't believe Robin's mom bought a house and I didn't even know, she thought to herself.)
"I am! And of course I can't wait to see you and the babies!" Lulu went on.
"They'll be happy to see you too," Cassie assured her.
"And the MJ Tribute!!! OMG, Cassie, it's gonna be SO COOL!! I think Robin's got some big surprise act that he's been working on secretly! I hope it's for me...."
"Lulu, this is supposed to be for Michael Jackson---not you!" Cassie corrected her.
"Oh........yeah.........my bad," Lulu admitted, embarrassed. "Well, I can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve---whatever it is!"
"And after the show, what do you guys have planned?" Cassie asked, curious.
"Robin says we might go to Miami! Hey Cassie----why don't you guys come along too?!"
"Are you crazy???"
"No I'm serious-----it'll be fun!! Like at the beach house last year -- only better!!" Lulu insisted.
"No way, Lulu. You and Robin go and have yourselves a ball in Miami. Me and my kids and Charles will be fine right here," Cassie assured her.
"Oh Cassie!! You're such a punk!" Lulu pouted.
"I'm not gonna fight with you about this Lulu, okay? Anyway, the babies are crying and I've gotta check on them so call me when you're back," Cassie fibbed, hanging up on her friend.
Then she tossed her phone onto the nightstand and slid back under the covers for some more sleep.
Candygwen
"What has gotten into her?" confused Lulu.
Meanwhile Robin was still watching MJ last rehearsal.
"This is perfect for Cassie and I can get in contact with the dancers, the female guitarist, etc. It'll be all good. The question is how?" asked Robin.
Robin search through the web.
"Damn this is harder than I thought, but I have to keep trying." said Robin.
Then he spotted one of the backstage dancers myspace page and he contacted them.
"I really hope they reply." said Robin.
Batman642
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 d
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 showing off.
"No he haven't" said Cassie.
"And to show that I am better than Robin I'm going to get you anbd the twins some icecream." said Charles.
Charles bought them icream and they were enjoying themselves.
"Charles stop trying to compete with Robin. I'm with you okay." said Cassie enjoying her icecream.
"I just want to make sure." said Charles.
Soon Lulu called Cassie on her cell.
Batman642
"Cassie? You busy girl?" Lulu asked.
"For a change.....no. We're in the park chillin. How are you, Lulu?"
"Girl I am SO HAPPY. We'll be back home tomorrow! School is over and Robin says you guys are organizing a tribute for MJ at the Rev! This is gonna be so exciting, Cassie! I haven't sung in awhile and I miss it! Have you decided what you're gonna do for the show yet?" Lulu asked bubbling over with excitement.
Cassie hesitated wishing she could be as excited as Lulu was, but instead dreading the event.
Candygwen
"Not yet...I could hardly contained myself." said Cassie hesistantly.
"This is so excited I can't to get back to the Heights. There is so much I have to got to tell you. I know you can't wait to see me and Robin." said excited Lulu.
"I can't say much for Robin but I miss you so much Lulu." said Cassie.
"Well I have to go and turn these books in. Talk to you later." said Lulu hanging up.
"MJ tribute? What's that all about?" asked Charles.
Batman642
"Oh......I guess I forgot to tell you....." Cassie stalled. "Tay and Lizzie and Jeron -- they want to give a Tribute Show in honor of Michael Jackson. Isn't that sweet?"
"I guess. But Lulu--isn't she at Sea School? What's she got to do with it?'
"School's out for summer, Charles. She's coming home and she wants to be a part of it," Cassie answered, trying to keep Robin's name out of the conversation.
"Is it gonna be at my mom's house?" Charles asked.
"Nooooo....."
"Well then where?" he persisted.
"Tay said something about a friend of his in the music business helping them out," Cassie fibbed.
"Hmmm....." Charles responded, deep in thought. "I think I'll sing an MJ song for their tribute show," he decided.
"HUH???"
"Sure, why not? I can carry a tune. I think I'll sing "Lady of My Life" and dedicate it to you, Beautiful," he said proudly.
Before Cassie could object to the idea, Charles started to sing the song to her.

(Thanks for the link Candygwen)
Cassie was in a daze when she heard Charles sing.
"Well beautiful what do you think?" asked Charles.
"Yeah sure you are welcome to participate." said Cassie.
"Great I knew you couldn't say no." said Charles kissing Cassie.
Soon Cassie realize that Robin was setting up the Tribute and she didn't tell Charles about.
"Oh no what have I done? Why do I keep getting myself into these thigs?" frustrated Cassie.
Meanwhile Tay and Lizzie was working on some ideas for the show.
"Shouldn't we wait for Robin to get home beofre we do anything?" asked Lizzie.
Batman642
(ur welcome)
"Nah....Robin is cool like that. He'll let us do whatever we want so we might as well get a head start," Tay said with confidence.
"Yeah, you're right," Lizzie agreed.
"Cool. So it's settled then----I'm gonna sing and dance to PYT," Tay decided.
"And me and Kendra are gonna do a duet -- Say Say Say," Lizzie replied.
"Nice. What about Jeron?" Tay asked.
"He didn't make his mind up yet," Lizzie informed her brother.
"Well he better hurry up and decide. For the finale, we're all gonna do the Thriller dance," Tay said.
"I love that dance! I'm glad I learned it already," Lizzie said excited.
"Yeah me too. We might have teach the others," Tay worried.
"They'll catch on fast, Tay. Don't worry," Lizzie assured him.
"I know Jeron and Kendra will, but what about Cassie?" Tay continued worrying.
"Cassie knows it too. But I'll make sure she brushes up on it," Lizzie said as she pulled out her cell and dialed her sister.

Soon Cassie cell phone rang.
"Lizzie what!?!" annoyed Cassie.
"Have you came up with an idea what you want to do for the show yet?" asked Lizzie.
"No Lizzie I've been busy with other stuff." said Cassie.
"Then make time Cassie because it'll be showtime before you even know it." said Lizzie.
"Alright but do you mind I spending time with Charles." said Cassie.
"No but you better not get pregnant before the tribute." said Lizzie hanging up.
"OOOOOOh I could just ring her neck right now." angered Cassie.
"Who was that?"asked Charles.
"My annoying sister who else. She keeps bugging me about the tribute." said Casie.
"Come on beautiful this MJ tribute means alot to them it would be nice as a big sister to help them out." said Charles.
"I guess you're right." said Cassie.
"We may as well head back and get started." said Charles.
Meanwhile back at the hospital the doctor was checking on Eddie.
Batman642
"Doc, I thought I'd be released by now. What's the hold up?" Eddie wanted to know.
"We're not taking any chances---you know---because of what happened to the King of Pop," the doctor explained.
"What's that got to do with me?" Eddie asked.
"You had a mild heart attack and he died of cardiac arrest. Need I say more?" the doctor replied.
"You're penalizing me for what happened to Michael Jackson? I can't believe this!" Eddie fumed.
"Just calm down, Mr. Sutton. It's just a precaution," the doctor tried to console Eddie as he checked his vitals.
After awhile, he put his stethoscope away.
"Well???" Eddie asked anxiously.
The doctor smiled. "You're free to go. I'll sign your discharge papers," he said.
Eddie let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Hallelujah!!!" he shouted.
Then he picked up the phone and called Jenn withi the good news.
Candygwen
"Really thank God I thought you are going to be stuck at the hospital forever." said Jenn.
"I was worry for a minute there because of the whole MJ situation they were still running tests on me." said Eddie.
"Can you blame them Eddie? This is serious business." said Jenn.
"But I just had a Minor Heart Attack." said Eddie.
"Eddie that is still serious business Minor or not. You shouldn't take this lightly. No one expected MJ to died of Cardiac Arrest. This mean you are getting older and you need to start taking better care of yourself. Now maybe next time you listen to me." said Jenn.
"Whatever Jenn!!! Are you going to pick me up?" asked Eddie.
"Sure I'll be there in afew minutes." said Jenn.
Batman642
Meanwhile, Danny and Sage are also planning their acts for the MJ Tribute.
"So it's settled. We're gonna do 'The Way You Make Me Feel', right Sage?"
"Yeah, Danny. I've got the perfect micro mini skirt to wear. I can't wait to strut across the stage in it!" she said as she held up the tiny skirt and showed it to him.
Danny smiled. "And I'll be right behind you, baby, singing."
"I have to admit, I didn't know you could sing, Danny!"
"There's alot you don't know about me," he replied.
"So let's start rehearsing!" she suggested.
"I've got a better idea. Let's go down to the Rev and rehearse on the actual stage," he told her.
"But how are we gonna get in? Isn't it still locked up?"
"Yeah, but I've got a key. I never gave it back after Mike's funeral," he said with a mischevious grin.
"Cool! Let's go!" Sage agreed as she dropped the skirt on the bed and headed for the door.
"Hold on there, Sage!" he said as he stepped in front of her. "Bring that skirt with you. I need inspiration!"
Sage laughed, grabbed the skirt and the two of them hurried ouit of the house.
Meanwhile, Jenn starts out on her way to the hospital to pick up Eddie. As she comes downstairs, she sees Tay, Lizzie, Kendra and Jeron doing the Thriller Dance in the livingroom.
"Hey kids, that looks great! Your Dad and I used to do the Thriller Dance together," she bragged.
"No way, Mom! Really?" Lizzie asked, surprised.
"Yes, REALLY!! But why are you guys doing it now? Is this your way of grieving?" Jenn asked.
"We're practicing for the MJ Tribute at the Rev," Tay told his mother.
"MJ Tribute?"
"Yeah! Robin owns the Rev, you know. And he gave us permision to put on a show to honor MJ. Cool huh?" Tay asked.
"I'll say! That's a GREAT idea! I wish your father and I could be a part of it. We loved Michael Jackson back in the 80's.)
"So why can't you?" Lizzie asked.
"DUH!!! Dad's in the hospital, Lizzie!!" Tay remarked, annoyed.
"Actually, Tay, I'm on my way to pick him up. He's getting discharged," Jenn corrected her son.
"Oh. Cool. So then why CAN'T you be in the show?" Tay asked.
"I don't think Eddie is up to it," Jenn explained.
"Well at least come and watch, okay?" Lizzie asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Jenn promised. "Do you guys want to come with me to pick up your father?" she offered.
"No, but could you drop us off at the Rev? We want to practice this dance on the stage," Tay answered.
"Sure, I've got no problem with that. Only......how are you gonna get in? Isn't the Rev locked ujp?" Jenn asked.
"Lizzie called Robin's mom and she's got the keys," Tay replied. "She'll meet us there."
"Okay, well shake a leg, you guys, because your father is anxious to get out of the hospital," Jenn rushed them as she headed out the front door.
The kids gathered up their cds and dvds and hurried out behind her.
Candygwen
Meanwhile Danny & Sage arrived at the Rev. Sage was impressed with the new Rev. new look.
"Wow this place looks wonderful. It's way better than it origanally look." said Sage.
"This was Robin's idea and it needed a new style." said Danny.
"It's almost looks like a dance club/studio. Robin got a great imagination." said Sage.
"Speaking of studio. Let do practice our performace in this studio." said Danny as he was geting horny.
"Danny it's a studio." said Sage.
"Oh come on it's not like anyone else is going to be here. It's not even open yet." said Danny.
Soon Sage striped down to her bra and panties and threw her blouse at Danny and soon Danny started chasing Sage all over the Rev. Then he grabbed Sage in took her to the studio and turned off the lights.
Batman642
Meanwhile, Jenn had her kids and Jeron and Kendra in the car, headed for the Rev and Monica was on her way to meet them there with an extra set of keys that Robin gave her for safekeeping.
Both cars pulled up in front of the Rev at just about the same time and parked. The four kids piled out of the car, excited and anxious to get inside. They ran over to Monica's car.
"Hi Miss Monica!" Lizzie greeted her with a big smile.
"Hello Lizzie!"
Lizzie introduced Kendra. "And you know my brother, Tay and Jeron," she added.
"Yes, I remember them from Thanksgiving. Good to see you guys."
Then Jenn approached Monica's car.
"Thanks for meeting us here, Monica. I know it was short notice, but the kids are so excited about putting on this Tribute," Jenn explained.
"I understand, Jenn, and it's no problem at all. Just let me know what date the show is so that I can be here in the front row!" Monica laughed.
"We haven't set a date yet, but it's gonna be soon. Robin's coming back for it and so is Lulu," Lizzie told her.
"Is that so?" Monica asked, surprised. "I haven't spoken to Robin lately."
Lizzie looked puzzled. "You haven't spoken to Robin? But why?" she asked.
Jenn nudged her daughter. "Lizzie, mind your business."
"Anyway, here are the keys," Monica said, handing them to Lizzie. "Go ahead and unlock the place while I chat with your Mom. I'll be in shortly."
Lizzie took the keys and she and the other kids ran to the entrance of the Rev while Jenn waited for Monica to get out of her car and lock up.
"So you'll stay here with the kids, Monica?" Jenn asked.
"Yes of course, Jenn. There's no way I'd let them stay here alone---anything could happen."
"I wish I could stay with you but I've gotta get to the hospital to pick up Eddie," Jenn explained.
"Go, go, by all means, go Jenn. We'll be fine!" Monica assured her.
Jenn smiled and gave her a quick hug. "Thanks, Monica. You're a god send."
The women parted company---Jenn went back to her car and Monica headed for the Rev, where the four kids had just stepped inside.
Candygwen
"Hmm that's odd!!!" confused Monica.
"What do you mean?" asked Lizzie.
"The door is already open." said Monica.
"Maybe the Renovators left it opened." said Tay.
"Well I think it's kinda' irreponsible for them to do that Tay." said Monica.
"Robin should have a word with them about that." said Lizzie.
"I agree." said Monica.
"Wow look at this place. It's looks amazing." said Kendra.
"I know Robin has great taste." said Lizzie.
"Man this place is phat." said Jeron.
"Huh?" confused Monica.
"It's slang for cool Ms. Monica." said Lizzie.
"Check out these rooms, an art room, music room, dance room, and a pair of high heel shoes." said Tay as he saw them on the floor.
"Hey check out these sexy silky panties." Jeron picked up.
"Boy put that down." said Monica.
Jeron hid the panties in his back pocket. Lizzie soon spotted a pair of boxer shorts and dress clothes.
"What on earth is going on here?" asked Kendra.
I don't know but whoever or whatever it is I don't like it and you not going to them disrespecting my son's business." said Monica.
Then suddenly they heard noise of moaning and groaning then it turned into freaky noises. It was coming from the studio.
"Oh yes yes YES!!!" screamed Sage.
"Who's you daddy? Who's your' daddy." yelled Danny.
"OH HELL NO!!" YELLED MONICA.
Monica and the kids barged into the studio on Danny and Sage. They were all shocked!!!
Batman642
(sorry for the delay!!)
Sage screamed when she saw the small crowd staring at her and Danny. She pushed him off of her and ran, butt naked, away from everyone's view.
Danny scrambled to get up off of the floor, also butt naked, and ran cursing behind Sage.
Monica took off running behind both of them, also cursing and furious.
The kids stood there, still in shock.
"Can you BELIEVE this Lizzie? First we bust Chassie, and now Sage and Danny!! Maaaaan.....we live around a bunch of FREAKS for real!!!" Tay remarked, scratching his head.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I wanna see what Miss Monica is gonna do to them!" Lizzie said anxiously as she headed in the direction of Danny, Sage and Monica.
Kendra, Tay and Jeron followed.
Candygwen
(That's alright welcome back Candygwen)
As Tay, Lizzie, Kendra, & Jeron watched, Monica was chasing and beating Danny with her purse. Both Sage and Danny was running in the street butt naked.
"Damn Tay no wonder you like Sage. You got good taste dawg." said Jeron.
"Wow I never realize there was a whole lot of Sage." shocked Tay as his mouth opened.
"Tay you're drooling." said Lizzie.
"Oops!!" embarrased Tay.
"This is so going on my myspace page." said Jeron as he snapped a picture of Sage on his cell.
Lizzie and Kendra both smacked Jeron.
"Owww!!! What was that for?" surprised Jeron.
"Freak!!!" said Lizzie.
"Geez sorry I promise the next time you take a shower I snappe picture of you." said Jeron.
"OMG!!" disgusted Lizzie as she stormed back in the Rev.
"Lizzie it was a joked!!! I didn't mean anything like that." said Jeron chasing after her.
Soon more and more people was watching Sage and Danny running around in their birthday suits. Everyone was laughing and pointing and snapping pictures suddenly the police car arrived and the cop arrested both Sage and Danny indecent exporsure. The police cover them with towels and put them in the squad car and we everyone was booing and throwing things at the police.
Batman642
(thanks!)
Back in the Rev, Monica was still furious. "God, I wish I could leave you kids here alone! I want to go down to that Police Station and press trespassing charges on those two!"
"No, Miss Monica. Please don't do that!" Lizzie begged.
"I know you guys want to rehearse---don't worry," Monica consoled Lizzie.
"And it's not only that, Miss Monica. That's Sage---my dad's ex-partners' daughter. She's kinda sorta like family. The black sheep of the family, that is," Lizzie explained.
"Yeah, and the dude---that was Danny---he used to manage the Rev before Robin bought it," Tay added.
"Are they friends of yours?" Monica asked Tay.
"She is. He definitely IS NOT. But he's not worth getting all worked up about, ma'am," Tay replied.
"Well.......I GUESS they'll suffer enough even if I don't go down to the station," Monica decided.
So the kids started practicing their Thriller Dance as Monica watched from the sidelines.
Candygwen
Meanwhile Jenn arrived at the hospital to pick up Eddie. When she got there she saw Eddie already dressed and ready to go.
"Wow look like someone is anxious to get out of here." said Jenn.
"Jenn two days of lying bed and eating hospital food is enough. I am ready to go." said Eddie.
"Eddie shouldn't you wait for a nurse to come and check you out?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn you my personal nurse." said Eddie.
"Be pateince Eddie." said Jenn.
The two wait for the nurse to come while they watching the news about MJ. Soon they saw a shocking coverage of Sage and Danny running around butt naked on t.v.
"What the hell?!?" shocked Eddie.
Batman642
"Welcome to the latest Channel 8 News. I'm Martha Johnson with our latest story. As you can see, there were two people caught running through the streets of Lincoln Heights without any clothes on. They were identified as Sage and Danny from The Rev. We'll have more information later on tonight. Thank you," the anchorwoman said.
"Wow, Jenn. Lund will be pissed off when he sees this," Eddie said.
"You got that right! If that were Cassie and Charles, I wouldn't let them leave the house again," said Jenn.
Back at Mrs. Antoni's mansion, Cassie and Charles were spending quality time with Collin and Kalie in the backyard on the swingset. Cassie and Collin were playing on the slide, while Charles and Kalie were swinging together.
"C'mon Collin and Mommy! Play with me and Daddy!" Kalie screamed.
"Coming Kay Kay!" Collin yelled.
Colin ran to the swings with Kalie.
"Here buddy; let me give you a push," Charles insisted.
Charles got the twins started again on the swings and went to go talk to Cassie on the bench.
"Cassie, how long are you going to be mad to me? It's starting to get a little ridiculous. Even the twins are starting to notice!" Charles explained.
"Look Charles, until you come clean to the police about what really happened to Mack, I will never forgive you," Cassie exclaimed.
"Not even if I have the most romantic evening planned out for us tonight? I'm thinking of a romantic candlelight dinner on the beach. Then, we could go back to La Hotel de Fancy, the best hotel in all of Los Angeles. We get to stay there overnight in the 'Romantic Suite' and in the morning, you get to have a free day at the hotel spa. The twins are already taken care of. Lizzie and my mom promised to watch them for tonight."
"Oh Charles. That sounds really sweet. Maybe I'll reconsider."

Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin was packing everything.
"Well that's the last of it." said Robin.
"I still can't believe the semester is over. It is going to be so weird heading back to the Lincoln Heights." said Lulu.
"Yeah tell me about it. I almost feel a home here." said Robin.
"It's definitely going to take some getting used to. Have you called your mom yet?" asked Lulu.
"I'll call her when we arrived home." said Robin.
"I can't wait to see the new Rev. and perform the Tribute for MJ." said Lulu.
"I hope the new Rev turned out better as I planned." said Robin.
"It will." said Lulu as she kissed Robin.
Then Tawanna barged in.
"Excuse you two can y'all help me packed my stuff." said Tawanna.
"Most people knock before coming in a room." said Robin.
"Whatever boy, just help with my bags please." said Tawanna.
"You are the rudest person I have ever met." said Robin.
"Robin just drop it this is our last day at the ship lets not spoil it by arguing." said Lulu.
"Oh alright." said RObin.
Batman642
Meanwhile, on the way from the hospital, Eddie decides that he wants them to stop at their old house in Lincoln Heights so that Jenn could see what progress has been made on the renovations.
Jenn couldn't believe her eyes when they got there. She was so happy with the way her house looked.
"Oh Eddie! They did such a terific job! I want to move back home ASAP!"
Eddie laughed, glad his wife was happy. "You haven't even seen the inside yet!" he said as they got out of the car and walked up the driveway.
"Eddie, if the OUTSIDE looks like this, I don't even need to see the inside!"
Eddie took her hand as they walked up the steps to the porch. "Well you're gonna see it anyway," he told her as he unlocked the door and flung it opened.
"TA - DAH!!!" he sang proudly.
Jenn gasped. "Oh it's BEAUTIFUL!!!" she remarked as she walked in and gazed at her surroundings.
"I was hoping you'd like it, Jenn," he confided.
"I LOVE it, Eddie!!!" she assured him.
He smiled and grabbed her around the waist. "And I love you," he replied.
"Eddie, I know things are gonna be better between us just as soon as we get out of Marla's house and back here where we belong," she said as he held her in his arms.
"No doubt, Jenn. No doubt," he agreed.

Meanwhile at the police station Kevin Lund got back from lunch break. Everyone was starring and pointing and snickering at him. Some one put a picture on his desk saying father of the year with a playboy bunny.
"Hey Lund you got some daughter." said one of the cop.
"Yeah you're a great role model." laughed the other cop.
"What the hell is going on here? I don't get this joke at all." said Lund.
"Come here I got a surprise for you." laughed the captain.
"Hey word of advice. Keep your daughter on a lease." said the cop.
Lund went to the office and saw Sage in a trenchcoat.
"Sage!?!? What the hell is going on here?" shocked Lund.
Then Lund looked up and saw the news about them.
Batman642
Kevin Lund was horrified at what he saw and asked the Captain and other officer for some privacy to speak with his daughter alone. They obliged and left him and Sage in the office.
Kevin sat across from Sage, visibly shaken, his face as white as a sheet, He just shook his head for awhile looking at the floor not knowing what to say.
The suspense was killing Sage and she couldn't take the silent treatment any longer. "Dad?"
Lund looked up at her. "What have you got to say for yourself, Sage?" he asked.
"I'm sorry???" she replied, uncertain.
"Is that the best you can do?" he asked.
"I don't know what you want me to say, Dad. Do you think I wanted this to happen? Danny and I were alone in the Rev and things got out of hand is all. But we didin't know we were gonna have COMPANY!!! All of a sudden, Ms. Morgan and the Sutton kids and their friends were there GAWKING at us! What was I supposed to do, Dad?"
"Oh, and that was your solution huh? Run out in the street STARK NAKED??!! Nice going, Sage. I should've shot that character right between the eyes when I had my chance...." he said with regret in his voice.
"Dad! It's not DANNY'S fault!!" Sage said defensively.
"Can't you see he has absolutely NO RESPECT for you, Sage? To put you in a position like that---in a public place! You see what happened don't you? Doesn't that stop and make you think twice?" Lund asked, trying to get through to her.
"Oh so YOU'VE never had sex in a public place, Dad???" Sage challenged.
Lund's mouth dropped open in shock. "I can't believe I'm having this conversation with my daughter....."
Sage sat with her arms folded across her chest, waiting for an answer to her question.
Candygwen
But all she can come up with one thing.
"Can we please go home now?" asked Sage with an attitude.
"That's all you can say to me? You know I thought your mother was a piece a work but you take the cake. I just don't undertand you Sage. Just give me a few minutes." said Lund as he stepped out of the office.
Then one of the cops walk pass by and said here's a dollar.
"What's the dollar for?" confused Lund.
"Maybe your daughter can do a private striptease for us." joked the cop.
Then Lund went and attack the cop, beating him to a pulp. Soon the Captain came and broke up the fight.
"I WANT TO SEE BOTH OF YOU IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW!!!' yelled the Captain.
Meanwhile back at Marla's house Cassie was getting ready for her evening with Charles and she was excited. Soon Dana knocked to check on Cassie.
Batman642
"Cassie should I set a place for you at the dinner table?" Dana asked as she poked her head into Cassie's room.
"No thanks, Dana. Charles and I are going out tonight," Cassie replied happily.
Dana stepped into her room as she noticed Cassie's attire. "Wow, girl, you look fiiiiiine! I haven't seen you dressed up like that in a long time!"
Cassie giggled. "Thanks, Dana. Are you SURE I look okay?" she asked as she struck a pose.
"POSITIVE! Where are you guys going anyway?" she asked inquisitively as she sat on Cassie's bed and watched her get ready.
"Charles is taking me on a romantic, candlelight dinner date," Cassie replied.
"Easy on the romance, girl. You've already got twins....." Dana reminded her.
Cassie sighed. "I know, I know...."
"Hey! Speaking of ROMANCE, did you see the news today?" Dana asked suddenly.
"No. Why?"
"Our girl Sage was on the news. She had some romance herself with Danny Marinero and got cold busted!"
"I'm not following you, Dana," Cassie replied, puzzled.
"Okay, okay lemme slow down. Sage and Danny were in the Rev doing Lord knows what and got caught in the act and ended up running through the streets naked and got arrested and a film crew caught the whole thing on camera! I can't believe you didn't see it, Cassie!"
"Daaang! Sorry I missed it!" Cassie said, disappointed.
"It's probably on youtube girl," Dana said trying to make her feel better.
"Yeah, you're right. What were they doing at the Rev, I wonder?" Cassie asked.
"Well Jeron and Tay and Lizzie and Kendra were down there earlier practicing for the MJ Tribute," Dana explained.
"I know. But I didn't know Sage and Danny were a part of it too!" Cassie said surprised.
Dana shrugged. "The more the merrier----no? I mean, it's for Michael afterall, Cassie...."
"Yeah, that's why the likes of SAGE shouldn't be any part of it!" Cassie answered.
"Well what about you, Cassie? Are you gonna be part of it?" Dana inquired.
Candygwen
"I guess so!." said reluntant Cassie.
"What do you mean you guess? Are you or aren't you?" asked Dana.
"Lets just say I was forced into this. My precious little sister blackmail me into doing this. There are times that I wish I was an only child." said Cassie.
"Cassie you don't mean that. Anyway I think it will be good if you did that. It will do you some good and it will mean alot to Lizzie and the others." said Dana.
"I suppose you right." said Cassie.
"I know I'm right." said Dana.
Cassie smile alittle.
"Have you heard from Robin and Lulu yet? There semester should be over soon and heading back home." said Dana.
"Please don't remind me." said Cassie not wanting to talk about Robin.
"What?!?" confused Dana.
"I mean their semester is over and they should be returning home I think tomorrow." said Cassie.
"Good because I think we all should do something special when they get here." said Dana.
"I don't think that's a good idea." said Cassie.
"I know it's a good idea we haven't hang out since last year at the beachhouse." said Dana.
Soon Charles came into the door.
"Ready Beautiful? Wow you look stunnily beautiful." said Charles as he saw Cassie in that dress. (Check out the link http://www.contactmusic.com/photos.nsf/main/erica_hubbard_2437768)
"Thanks Charles." said Cassie.
Batman642
[thanks batman642 for the link. i luv erica's pink shoes :-) ]
Cassie and Charles headed out the door towards Marla's Mercedes Benz, happy that she'd given them permission to use it instead of Charles' old pick up truck.
Just as they got ready to back out of the driveway, Eddie and Jenn arrived back from their old house in Lincoln Heights and pulled up behind the Mercedes.
"I hope your folks don't give us any grief, Cassie," Charles told her as he spotted them in the rear view mirror.
"Why would they do that?" Cassie asked. "We're just going out for dinner."
Meanwhile in the Sutton's car, Eddie starts fuming.
"Do they really think they're going out on the town, Jenn?"
"What do you mean, Eddie?" Jenn asked, puzzled.
"Jenn! Look at them! First of all, they're in MARLA'S car. Her expensive, off the chain MERCEDES! Second, look at how they're dressed!"
"Eddie, they deserve some time to themselves," Jenn defended them.
"Have you been drinking Jenn? Time to themselves? Aren't you the one that told me Cassie had a miscarriage? Sounds to me like they've had ENOUGH time to themselves!" Eddie exclaimed as he started to get out of the car to have a word with the young couple
Candygwen
(No problem Candygwen)
Soon Jenn got out quickly and stopped Eddie.
"Eddie Sutton you stop this right now!!!" snapped Jenn.
"I am not going to have another heart attack because of them." said Eddie.
"Leave them alone. They have been through enough." said Jenn.
"What!?!? Are you kidding me? What about what I have been through. And quite frankly I hav had it up to here." said Eddie.
"Eddie I know you are upset about the miscarriaged." said Jenn.
"Upset I am pissed and furious this needs to stop." said Eddie.
"I know but you just got out of the hospital and this fumming over them isn't going do you no justice.Please Eddie let them have their night together." said Jenn.
"Fine and I hope they will enjoyed their night together because this will certainl be there last time because as soon as we move back to our house except for spending time with the twins Charles will no longer allowed to see my daughter." said Eddie.
"Eddie you don't mean that." said Jenn.
"Oh mean it Jenn.I have had it with that boy." said Eddie.
"Eddie you don't understand it's not Charles' fault." said Jenn.
"Jenn will you stop defending that boy. He is a bad seed and bad influence on Cassie." said Eddie.
"You forget it I am not going to argue with you. I will discussed when you are 100% healthy and when you actually got some sense." said Jenn storming in the house.
"Jenn wait up." said Eddie running after her.
"I wonder what that all about?" asked Charles.
"Let just go before they return." said Cassie.
"Sure thing beautiful." said Charles as they drove off.
Meanwhile back at the Rev Jeron, Kendra, Lizzie and Tay were rehearsing their tribute to MJ while Monica is watching.
Batman642
"I'm glad Jeron finally figured out what he's gonna do," Tay whispered to his sister as Jeron sang on stage.
"I know what you mean. It took him awhile, but he picked the perfect song for his voice -- "Ben," Lizzie replied.
"Thank God Miss Monica knew the words from when she was a kid!" Kendra said.
"Yeah....otherwise we would've been up the creek!" Lizzie agreed.
After Jeron finished his solo, everyone clapped.
"Okay, guys, I'd say that's a rap!" Monica announced. "It's getting late, dont you think?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right......" Tay reluctantly agreed.
"Anyway, I've gotta get home and help Miss Marla with the twins," Lizzie remembered.
So they locked up the Rev and Monica drove them all back to Marla's house. Eddie was sitting on the couch in front of the tv when they walked in.
"Daddy!!!! You're home!!! I'm SO HAPPY!!!" Lizzie greeted him, hugging him tight around the neck.
"It's great to be back with my family," Eddie said.
"Hey Dad! Welcome home!" Tay said with a little wave and smile.
"Thanks son," Eddie replied. "I heard you all were rehearsing for an MJ Tribute. How'd it go?" he inquired.
"It's going great, Dad. Lizzie and Kendra are gonna do "Say Say Say," I'm doing "Bad," Jeron is doing Ben, and the finale is gonna be the Thriller Dance. I think Charles and Cassie are performing too but I'm not sure what," Tay explained.
"Well they left here awhile ago and from the way they were dressed it didn't look like they were going to rehearse anything," Eddie said, annoyed.
"Cassie better not let us down if she knows what's good for her!" Lizzie replied, just as annoyed.
"So when is this show gonna be anyway?" Eddie asked.
Candygwen
"Well as soon as Robin gets back from Sea School he will give us the details. We going to have it at Rev and Robin gave us the okay. So hopefully the tribute will very soon." said Lizzie.
"Wow that's great that you kids and Robin are showing love for MJ and doing something positive for the community." said Eddie.
"We have to do something to lift eveyone spirits." said Jeron.
"So when is Robin coming?" asked Eddie.
"He should be back tomorrow." said Lizzie.
"That's good looks like you kids have alot of work on your hands but with Robin help this will turn out well. I can't wait to see the tribute." said Eddie.
"Yeah I am so excited." said Kendra.
Meanwhile Charles and Cassie arrived at the beach.
"Charles what are we doing at the beach?" asked Cassie.
"To have dinner of course surprise." said Charles
Cassie saw a candle light picnic like dinner and she was impressed
Batman642
"Do you remember our dinner on the beach last year, Cassie? At the beach house?" Charles asked as they sat down and got comfortable.
"Yeah I do, Charles. It seems like such a long time ago. So much has happened since then," she said sadly.
Charles reached over and lifted her chin gently and looked into her eyes. "But we're still together, Cassie. No matter what, we're still together. And you know why?"
Cassie nodded. "Because we love each other---that's why," she replied.
"That's right. And we belong together, Cassie. You and me---we're made for each other. There's nobody else out there for me, Cassie. You're it for me."
"And one day, we'll get married. Right?" she asked.
"Of course. It's not like I don't want to marry you, Cassie. We've tried over and over but it never works out. But one day, when the time is right, you'll be Mrs. Antoni," he replied.
"You mean, Mrs. Sutton-Antoni," she corrected him with a smile.
He smiled back. "Okay, Beautiful. Whatever you say," he agreed.
Cassie sighed, happy again. "So what's for dinner? I'm hungry," she said.
"Well then, wait til you see what I've got for you!" he said, excited.
Candygwen
"I got pizza, sparkling grape juice, bread sticks and cheese dip." said Charles.
"You went all out." said Cassie.
"All for you beautiful." said Charles.
"What no music?" laughed Cassie.
"We got music just listen to the ocean." said Charles.
But when Cassie listen to the ocean she started to think about Robin. Cassie was still holding a little against Robin and she wanted to focus on Charles.
"Turned on the car radio Charles." said Cassie.
"What for beautiful?" asked Charles.
"It would be more romantic." said Cassie.
"Anything you say beautiful." said Charles.
Charles turned on the radio it started playing MJ song lady in my life. The two started to slow dance and soon started to kiss and make out.
Meanwhile back at Sea School everyone except for Robin was celebrating and partying their last night on the ship. Robin was on his laptop watching clips. He came across a clip of MJ last rehearsal (Go to the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qE22UOlQts). When Robin saw this it gave him an idea for what he want to do for the MJ tribute and to impress Cassie.
"This is perfect. This is the perfect way to make it up to Cassie. I can do the number MJ rehease on This Is It tour and plus I can get the backstage performers from the O2 concerts." said Robin.
But Robin have to keep everything quiet to make it work. Then Lulu showed up.
"Boo what are you doing? You are missing the party." said Lulu.
Batman642
Startled, Robin quickly closed his laptop. "Oh! Coming, Lulu!"
Lulu looked at him suspiciously and frowned. "You'd better not be looking at internet porn, Robin..." she warned.
"I've only got eyes for you---Scout's Honor," he said as he held up two fingers.
"Well..........I GUESS I believe you. Come join us, okay?" she invited him.
"I will. Just gimme a sec," he promised.
Meanwhile, back at the Antoni mansion, Eddie has turned off the tv downstairs and is upstairs in the bedroom with Jenn getting ready to retire for the evening.
"It's so nice having you back next to me, Eddie. I was lonely in this big bed all alone," Jenn sighed.
He grinned. "Maybe now you'll appreciate me more," he teased.
"Yeah, RIGHT!" Jenn teased back.
"Jenn, can you believe Charles and Cassie aren't back yet?" he asked, changing the subject and looking at the clock.
"Eddie......DON'T START. It's not that late," she replied.
"Jenn, it's almost 10pm. Do you know where your children are????"
Jenn sighed. "You're impossible. Have some faith in your daughter, will you?"
"I tried that and it didn't work, Jenn."
"Well try HARDER. I haven't given up on Cassie and neither should you. And I DON"T think we should be talking about those two anyway because it only upsets you."
"Well then maybe you should tell her to change her ways so that I wouldn't HAVE to talk about her!" Eddie suggested as he got under the cover and turned out the light.
Jenn sighed again. "Eddie, if it'll make you feel better, I'll have a serious talk with our daugher. Now please, stop thinking about Cassie and Charles and start thinking happy thoughts. You want to stay out of the hospital, remember?"
"Right. Happy thoughts," he repeated getting drowsy.
"And you forgot to kiss me goodnight," she added.
"Oops. My bad...." he apologized as he turned over and kissed her.
Meanwhile, Dana, Lizzie and Marla were getting the twins and Natalie ready for bed.
Candygwen
"So Lizzie when is the tribute?" asked Dana.
"I don't know. Robin is suppose to be here tomorrow and give us some details." said Lizzie.
"Robin?" confused Marla.
"Yeah we asked Robin if we can have the MJ tribute at the Rev. and not only he gave us the okay but he wants to help as well." said Lizzie.
"Isn't that wonderful?" asked Dana.
"What a delight." said Marla sarcasticly.
"What that suppose to mean?" asked Dana notice Marla change of attitude.
"Nothing let just put the kids to bed." said Marla.
"Umm Lizzie you better get to bed you have alot of work to do tomorrow." said Dana.
"Okay night Dana! Night Mrs. Antoni." said Lizzie.
"Night!!" said Dana & Marla.
"What is your problem? You have problem with Robin or something?" asked Dana.
"I don't but my son do. What if he decides to participate and finds Robin is running the whole thing?" asked Marla.
"Girl please is not thinking about that boy." said Dana.
"You know how Robin and Charles are." said Marla.
"Robin is too busy to worry about Charles and even if Charles was a part of the show and I don't think he would Robin stand in the way paying tribute." said Dana.
"I hope you're right." said Marla.
Meanwhile back at the beach Chassie was making out. Things was going well until Cassie strted to think about Robin, Jenn and Eddie.
"Chales don't" said Cassie she tried to pull away.
"Oh come on the night is perfect." said Charles kiss all over Cassie.
"Charles this is gone far enough." said Cassie.
"But baby I want to go too far." said Charles as he tried to take offCassie's dress.
"Charles STOP!!!" yelled Cassie.
"Cassie what is i?" asked Charles concerned.
"Charles it's getting late my dad is back at home and we caught by Nate, Lizzie and Tay and company. If we stay out longer my dad will get suspicous and I don't want to upset him and put him back in the hospital." said Cassie.
"(Sigh) I guess you're right." said disappointed Charles.
"Thanks for the lovely evening Charles. I really needed that. You really are my prince." said Cassie as she kissed Charles.
"Anything for you beautiful." said Charles as he smile.
Batman642
So Chassie packed everything up and took a nice ride home in the moonlight with the top down on Marla's convertible.
Meanwhile, Lizzie is in her bedroom getting dressed for bed when she realizes that she forgot to include Devin in the plans for the MJ Tribute. She looks at the clock and decides it's not too late to call him and invite him to participate, so she does.
"An MJ Tribute, Lizard? For real? I'm TOTALLY down for that!" Devin agreed when he heard about it.
"Oh cool. I figureed you would be," Lizzie replied, relieved. "So sleep on it and decide what song you're gonna perform. Just one thing, Devin. You can't do BEN or PYT or BAD because Tay and Jeron have picked those songs already."
"Those songs are whack anyway. As soon as you asked me, I knew what song to do," he boasted with confidence.
"Oh yeah? What song is that?" Lizzie asked, curious.
"Dirty Diana! My favorite!" Devin told her, excited.
"Hmmm....I wonder why...." Lizzie replied sarcastically. "Anyway, we're gonna be at the Rev tomorrow for rehearsal so meet us there, k?"
"You bet. Thanks Lizzie."
"Good night, Devin."
Lizzie went to bed with a smile on her face and so did he.
Candygwen
Meanwhile after Marla and Dana put Natalie and the twins to bed they decided to watch televison Marla recieved a phone call and it was Bill saying he will be home tomorrow.
"Are you really?" asked Marla.
"Yeah there was word that someone in Linclon Heights is doing an MJ tribute so I have to see for myself and take some picutres." said Bill.
Batman642
"Oh my God!!" Marla responded, excited.
"What's wrong?!" Bill asked, alarmed.
Marla laughed. "Oh nothing! Nothing's WRONG---it's just that the kids here are doing the tribute! Jenn's kids and their friends!"
"You don't say? Small world, huh? Well, I guess I'll be covering their story!" Bill said, happy.
"So then I should be seeing you soon then!"
"Absolutely. Are you a part of the show?" Bill teased.
"Very funny! I'll be a part of the AUDIENCE---that's about it, Bill!"
"Oh come now, Marla. I bet you've got plenty of talent just waiting to be discovered...." he flattered her.
"Well now this is true, Bill, but I think I only want CERTAIN people to discover my talent."
"I hope I'm one of them."
Then Marla thought about what Dana told her --- how she was making things too easy for Bill--and she cut him short.
"Uh......Bill.......someone's trying to get me on the other line. I'll talk to you later, okay?" she forced herself to lie.
"Oh," he sounded disappointed. "Alright then--talk to you later, Marla."
When Marla got off of the phone, Dana was smiling at her and nodding with approval. "You're FINALLY learning!" she said.
Candygwen
(btw, thanks for the last rehearsal link batman642)
Suddenly they heard a noise. Dana and Marla went to the living room to see what was going on. They saw Charles and Cassie walking in door.
"I really had a great time Charles. Thanks again for a romantic evening." said Cassie.
"I just want to letyou know you mean the whole world and I am never going anyone take you away from because if they do I will kill them." said Charles as kiss Cassie goodnight.
"Oh excuse me!" said Marla interupting.
"Mom, Dana! How long have you two been watching?" shocked Charles.
"Long enough for you take a long cold shower." said Marla.
"I gotcha. See you inthe morning beautiful." said Charles running upstairs.
"Night Charles!." said Cassie.
"Look like you two had a great evening." said Dana.
(No problem Candygwen)
Batman642
Cassie flashed a big, genuinely happy smile. "We did...." she said dreamily. "We've had our ups and downs, but I SO love Charles!"
Dana and Marla looked at each other, amused.
"Yeah, you SO love him until tomorrow when you wanna wring his neck!" Dana teased.
"Excuse me.....I SAID we have ups and downs. This just happens to be an UP moment," Cassie explained.
"Well please try to keep things on the up and up for awhile, Cassie," Marla added.
"I'll try, Mrs. A," Cassie promised as she started up the stairs.
"Cassie, wait. I need to talk with you----just you and me," Marla said, hinting to Dana.
Dana frowned. "Good night, you two," she said as she stomped up the stairs, insulted.
"Don't go away mad, just go away!" Marla told her.
Then she took Cassie by the hand and led her into the den and closed the door.
"Have a seat," she told Cassie.
Cassie sat down, sensing Marla's serious mood.
"What's wrong, Mrs. A? Did the kids give you a hard time? Did we stay out too late?' she asked, worried.
Marla sat next to her on the couch and took Cassie's hands in hers and looked her straight in the eye.
"Please don't hurt my son anymore, Cassie. Don't break his heart---please," she said.
Cassie was taken aback. "What? I wouldn't---"
But Marla didn't let her finish her sentence.
"Cassie, sometimes you do and say things and don't realize the impact you have on Charles. You are absolutely his whole world, Cassie. I don't know if he's your world, but believe me when I tell you, you are HIS WORLD. If you hurt him again, it could kill him, and I'm not gonna sit by and watch that happen, Cassie."
Cassie tried to get a word in edgewise but couldn't as Marla continued talking:
"I know that Robin is coming tomorrow and he's having some big bash for Michael Jackson at the Rev. And you and I both know the history between Robin and Charles and you. So I'm counting on you Cassie to do EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER to make sure Charles doesn't get the wrong idea about you and Robin. Now---are you and Charles going to the event at the Rev or not?" Marla asked as she held Cassie's hands even tighter.
Cassie nodded and gulped, nervous.
"So I suggest you get a game plan and fast. Make sure Charles doesn't have ANY REASON to get the wrong idea about you and Robin---do you hear me? I love my son, and I DON'T want him to go off of the deep end over you, Cassie. You got that?" Marla questioned her.
"But how can I control what Charles thinks?" Cassie asked in a weak voice.
"Just don't send any mixed signals, Cassie. I know you and Robin are friends and all, but for Christ sake....."
"We're not even that friendly anymore, Mrs. A, so it shouldn't be a problem," Cassie informed her.
Marla looked puzzled. "Not friendly? Since when?"
Cassie started to feel uncomfortable with the conversation.
"Well........after the plane crash.....and then Charles getting stabbed.....I dunno.....everything was just going wrong and.....oh....I dunno...we're just not that friendly anymore," Cassie stammered, avoiding the truth.
Marla's expression changed from puzzled to suspicious as her woman's intuition started to kick in. "Cassie......did something go on between you and Robin???" she asked, point blank.
Cassie's hands started to sweat as Marla continued holding them. "Uh.......NO!" she blurted out, agitated.
"Caaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssiiiieeeeeeee........." Marla persisted, staring her down in a motherly sort of way.
Cassie yanked her hands out of Marla's and stood up abruptly. "I said NO!!" she repeated angrily.
Then she stormed out of the den, leaving Marla sitting alone on the couch with her mouth wide opened in disbelief, shocked at Cassie's guilty reaction.
"Oh my God......" Marla said outloud to herself. "Oh............my...........GOD!"
Candygwen
Soon Jenn went downstairs to get a glass of milk and spotted Marla sitting by her couch in shocked.
"Hey Marla is everything okay?" asked Jenn.
"I wish it was." said Marla.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenn.
"Jenn I'm really worry about my son." said Marla.
Batman642
Jenn sat next to Marla, sensing that something serious was going on. "What's wrong with Charles?" she asked, concerned.
"Oh Jenn......." Marla sighed, "nothing is wrong with him YET. But if he ever finds out....." She didn't finish.
Jenn's heart started to pound as she feared the worst. "Finds out..........WHAT, Marla?" she asked, playing dumb and hoping Marla didn't know about Robin and Cassie.
Marla stayed quiet. She didn't have the heart to tell Jenn that she was almost positive Cassie and Robin had crossed the line, but little did Marla know that Jenn already knew.
"Marla?"
"Jenn-----I just need to be alone right now," she finally said. "I can't talk about it."
"Marla, whatever effects Charles ultimately effects my daughter."
Marla shot Jenn a look. "Is that so? And what about vice versa? Whatever Cassie does effects Charles too!" she said defensively.
Jenn's heart sank as she realized Marla must be referring to Cassie and Robin. "Then you do know about......."
"ROBIN," Marla said as she angrily finished Jenn's sentence for her.
"Oh Marla....." Jenn sighed.
"How could Cassie DO something like this? I TRUSTED her, Jenn! I helped her sneak out and go to Mike's funeral so that she could be there for Robin as a FRIEND. And this is how she repays me? By making a fool out of my son?!"
"Shhh!!! Not so loud---someone might hear you!" Jenn said as she got up and closed the door.
"And how long have YOU known about this?" Marla asked.
"I just figured it out while Cassie was in the hospital," Jenn replied sadly.
"I'm not following you, Jenn. What's the hospital got to do with this?" Marla asked.
Jenn avoided answering the question by asking a question of her own. "Marla, how did YOU find out?"
"Just a few minutes ago---by accident. I was just trying to talk some sense into Cassie because I found out Robin's coming to town and I didn't want any more trouble between him and Charles. But Cassie was so nervous and DEFENSIVE, and she said she's not even friendly with Robin anymore which makes no sense at all, and I just put two and two together."
"Oh I see...." Jenn responded, deep in thought.
"Jenn," Marla continued, "did Cassie's stay in the hospital have anything to do with ROBIN???"
Jenn stood up, refusing to sell out her daughter completely. "I've said too much already, Marla," she said as she started to leave the den.
"Jenn!!"
"I'm sorry, Marla. Just know that what Cassie says is true---she's done with Robin," she said trying to make her feel better.
"Jenn, you OWE me an explanation! After all I've done for you guys? The LEAST you can do is let me know what's going on with the mother of my grandkids!" she said, trying to play the sympathy card.
"If and when Cassie is ready, she's the one that should tell you, Marla---not me. But for your son's sake, just leave it alone. Let dead dogs lie," Jenn advised as she turned and walked out.
Candygwen
"I need a drink!" said Marla.
Meanwhile back at Sea School Robin & Lulu decided to leave the party and hangout at the Sky Deck on the last night.
"Can't believe the semester is over." said Lulu.
"I know it seems it went by so fast." said Robin.
"Have you called home to have your mother pick you up yet?" asked Lulu.
"Actually I one of my relative is going to pick us up." said Robin.
"How come Miss Monica isn't going to pick you up?" asked Lulu.
"Umm just busy I guess." lied Robin.
"Isn't this night beautiful Boo?" asked Lulu as she holding Robin's arm.
"Yeah it's a beautiful scenerery. A Full moon, sparkling ocean." said RObin.
"Look their Dolphins jumping up." said Lulu.
"Hey guys." said Robin waving.
Soon the two sat down and watched the scenerey.
"This is so romantic." said Lulu yawning.
"Yeah very romantic." said Robin.
Soon someone from the party was playing MJ songs You Are My Life ( Check out link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_15tALSO5M).
"May I have this dance?" asked RObin.
"Sure Boo." said Lulu
The two started to slow on the sky dance.

[thanks for the link batman642. beautiful song]
Meanwhile, Cassie is in her room quietly crying in her pillow, upset over her conversation with Marla, when she hears a faint knock at her door.
"Mrs. A, please leave me alone!" she shouted.
Her door opened anyway, and it wasn't Mrs. Antoni, but instead it was Jenn.
Cassie looked startled and quickly got up, trying to hide the fact that she was crying. "Mom! What are you doing up so late?"
Jenn closed the door behind her and sat on the bed next to her. "I needed some milk---I couldn't sleep What are you doing
in here crying?"
"I was trying to be quiet," Cassie answered. "You heard me anyway?"
"No, but I saw the light shining underneath your door," she explained.
"Oh."
"And I just finished talking with Marla," Jenn continued.
"OH."
"So she figured out that you and Robin hooked up?"
Cassie nodded sadly. "I don't know how, but she did. Mom did you tell her?"
"Cassie! I'm surprised you would even ask me that question! No I didn't tell her! I found her in the den and she was upset about it and how Charles is gonna take it!"
"How Charles is gonna take it??? She can't tell Charles!!!" Cassie replied horrified by the thought.
"Calm down! I didn't say she was gonna tell Charles. But she seems to think he's gonna eventually find out," Jenn said.
"He can't EVER find out, Mom!" Cassie said crying again.
Jenn hugged her daughter sympathizing with her plight. "There, there, don't you worry," she consoled her.
After a good cry, Cassie looked up at Jenn. "Mom, how can you be so nice to me? I don't deserve it...."
"Cassie, honey, I love you, and as far as I'm concerned you deserve nothing but the best. You made a mistake, you're sorry, and I forgive you."
"Charles wouldn't---I just know it."
"Don't be so sure," Jenn advised.
"I'm not chancing it, Mom. Once was enough. He forgave me when it happened on the cruise and I promised it would never happen again. I can't let him know I broke that promise----no way," Cassie vowed.
"Listen, it's late and we're not accomplishing anything here, Cassie. You're just getting yourself all worked up over this and it's not healthy. Don't forget you were hospitalized not too long ago and you're not 100% back to norrmal. So try to get some sleep and stop worrying so much. I'm sure everything will work out just fine," Jenn assured her as she got up.
Cassie looked hopeful, appreciating Jenn's positive attitude. "Do you really think so, Mom?"
Jenn smiled. "Of course," she said as she blew Cassie a kiss and closed the door.
As she walked back to her own bedroom, Jenn felt a bit guilty for lying to her daughter like that.
Candygwen
(No Problem Candygwen)
"Now how am I going to tell Eddie that the baby Cassie lost isn't Charles and it's really Robin's baby? And should I tell her? I got to keep both Charles and Eddie away from each other until I figure something out." said Jenn to herself.
The nex morning back at Sea School Robin and Lulu both woke up and found they fallen asleep on the sky deck.
"Wow that was really romantic." said Lulu.
"Yeah and we officially back on shore." said Robin.
"Well that sucks." said Lulu.
"I've better finished packing." said Robin.
"I've better call Cassie." said Lulu.
Robin went back to his cabin suite to finish packing and he wanted to keep watching MJ rehearsal for O2 concert. Lulu called Cassie. Cassie qoke up quickly out of bed and saw her cellphone ringing.
Batman642
She groaned when she picked up her cell and saw Lulu's name in the caller i.d. She was tempted to not answer, but then felt bad so she took the call.
"Hey girl," she said, sounding down and out.
"What the heck is wrong with you?! You sound like you just got run over by a truck!" Lulu teased.
"Girl I'm beat and you woke me up...."
"Oops! Sorry! I'm just so excited, Cassie! We're back on shore and soon we'll be back home!" she squealed.
Cassie rubbed her eyes, trying to wake up completely. "Lulu, are your parents back in your house yet?"
"I don't think so. I haven't heard anything. I'm gonna stay with Robin and Miss Monica in their new house! In separate rooms of course!"
"New house?"
"Yeah, girl! Robin didn't tell you his mom bought a new house? It's big like Mrs. Antoni's house---you should see the pictures!" Lulu continued.
"Oh....no wonder you're so excited," Cassie replied. (I can't believe Robin's mom bought a house and I didn't even know, she thought to herself.)
"I am! And of course I can't wait to see you and the babies!" Lulu went on.
"They'll be happy to see you too," Cassie assured her.
"And the MJ Tribute!!! OMG, Cassie, it's gonna be SO COOL!! I think Robin's got some big surprise act that he's been working on secretly! I hope it's for me...."
"Lulu, this is supposed to be for Michael Jackson---not you!" Cassie corrected her.
"Oh........yeah.........my bad," Lulu admitted, embarrassed. "Well, I can't wait to see what he's got up his sleeve---whatever it is!"
"And after the show, what do you guys have planned?" Cassie asked, curious.
"Robin says we might go to Miami! Hey Cassie----why don't you guys come along too?!"
"Are you crazy???"
"No I'm serious-----it'll be fun!! Like at the beach house last year -- only better!!" Lulu insisted.
"No way, Lulu. You and Robin go and have yourselves a ball in Miami. Me and my kids and Charles will be fine right here," Cassie assured her.
"Oh Cassie!! You're such a punk!" Lulu pouted.
"I'm not gonna fight with you about this Lulu, okay? Anyway, the babies are crying and I've gotta check on them so call me when you're back," Cassie fibbed, hanging up on her friend.
Then she tossed her phone onto the nightstand and slid back under the covers for some more sleep.
Candygwen
"What has gotten into her?" confused Lulu.
Meanwhile Robin was still watching MJ last rehearsal.
"This is perfect for Cassie and I can get in contact with the dancers, the female guitarist, etc. It'll be all good. The question is how?" asked Robin.
Robin search through the web.
"Damn this is harder than I thought, but I have to keep trying." said Robin.
Then he spotted one of the backstage dancers myspace page and he contacted them.
"I really hope they reply." said Robin.
Batman642
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?"
