Ludlow church:
Tim: I do
The priest: And do you, Meg Cummings, take Tim Truman to be your beloved husband. In good as well as bad times?
Meg: I do
The priest: I know pronouns you as wordful husband and wife, Tim? You can know kiss the bride.
Tim pulls Meg close in a short, but passionate kiss. They both smile, as they run out of the church. Friends and family are throwing rise at hem. They get into the limo as they rented, and they kiss again.
Ben's and Maria's house:
Maria: Honey, would you just come look at my newest painting?
Ben: Sure, just a moment!
Ben (looking at the painting): It's absolutely wonderful. You know what, Maria? You are just as talented as you are beautiful, and that means a lot.
Ben kisses Maria as he smiles.
Maria: Allright, enough with the chitchat, I've got to make my idea's come true.
Ben: You call this "chitchat"? I don't think you really mean that.
They share a passionate kiss, but Maria pulls Ben away and starts on a new painting.
Maria: Anyway, shouldn't you be meeting with Gregory now?
Ben: Gosh, you're right, I'll better be going, see you tonight.
Maria: Bye.
Ben: Bye.
The limo:
Tim. You are so beautiful in you're wedding dress, that I can't believe it.
Meg (blushes): Well, thank you. You don't look to bad either..
They kiss as they drive away to their honeymoon, which appears to be located in Sunset Beach.
Tim and Meg arrive to their hotel.
Meg: God, it's so beautiful out here, nothing like Kansas.
Tim: Nope, it sure isn't. Well, let's get unpacked so I can show you something even more wonderful.
Meg: Tim! We're in public.
Tim: I know, I know.
Later in the suite. They lie on the bed about to make love:
Tim: I love you more then anything in the world, Meg Truman.
Meg: And I love you to. Gosh, I can't believe my name is Truman now.
Tim (ironic): What, you don't like it?
Meg: Sure I do, silly. I love it. We're a family now.
Tim: Yes we are, and let it stay that way.
The Restore:
Ben: Oh, hi Gregory.
Gregory: Ben, just at the time as always.
Ben: With pleasure.
Gregory: So, about the Liberty Corporation..
After they talked and had some dinner, Ben heads back to Maria that he should meet with, at the cave at the beach.
When Ben arrives, he sees that the cave is filled with candle lights and Maria is sitting between them.
Maria: Hey, English.
Ben: Hey beautiful. I've brought some candles to be romantic, but it doesn't look like we're gonna need them.!
Maria (grinning): I guess not. Anyway, I've also brought something, but it's only food.
Ben: Well, what kind of food?
Maria: Some sandwiches. you didn't expect something big, did you?
Ben: No, no. I'll eat anything that's from you.
He starts kissing her while he lays her down on the pillows that Maria brought. They made love, and slept for an hour, before they head back home.
The suite:
Tim. That was great.
Meg: Oh Tim! You sound like someone from a porn movie or something.
Tim. No, really, it WAS great. Everything with you is great.
Meg: And I can say the same thing with you.
Tim. Hey, I'm sorry, but I've got to call the others to say that we're Allright. You can go shop for an evening dress or whatever you like to do. Oh yeah, remember that we are going out tonight, right?
Meg: Sure.
Tim kisses Meg, and goes into the "Living room".
Meg (thinks): Tim, you really make me happy, but why do I feel like something is missing? No, Meg, you're just fooling yourself. Tim IS the one.
Meg goes for a walk in the streets. Suddenly she sees a small café named "Elaine's wafleshop".
Meg (thinking again): I'd like some waffles.
She walks in and ask for some waffles, but suddenly some strange tells her not to.
The stranger: Hey, do not eat those waffles.
Meg: Why not?
The stranger: Because they taste like, well. The lady who appears to own the shop stops him
Elaine (ironic): Oh Michael, do you always have to warn my guests about the main traction at my shop? If didn't know any better, you would think that you were a lifeguard here, and not at the beach.
Michael laugh, but Meg is confused.
Elaine: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Elaine. I own this shop.
Meg: Oh, and I'm Meg. It's nice to meet you.
Elaine: The same here. And the "awful" man there is Michael.
Michael: Hi Meg, nice to meet you.
Meg: Nice to meet you to. Now, would someone please tell me what's going on??
Elaine: Well, Michael here, thinks my waffles stinks, but. well, they might do but anyway.
Meg: Oh that way, I guess I'll just order something else. What are you REALLY good at then?
Michael: No, let me choose for you. I think that you would take a cheese sandwich.
Meg: A cheese sandwich?
Michael: Yeah, they taste SO good.
Meg looks on Elaine for an answer.
Elaine. Well, not to brag, but they are really good.
Meg: Allright then, I'll take one of them.
She receives her sandwich and a about to leave when Elaine ask her a question.
Elaine: Hey Meg, I haven't seen you around here before, are you new here?
Meg: Oh, yes I am. My husband and me are on our honeymoon here. Actually were arrived just this morning.
Elaine: A honeymoon? That's so sweet, congratulations! Not to be rude, but I could tell something who might come in handy.
Meg: What's that?
Elaine: Well, this city isn't named Sunset Beach for nothing. The sunsets here are really beautiful, perfect for couples like you and.?
Meg: Oh, Tim. Yeah, I've heard that they are really special here. Thanks anyway.
Elaine: Bye.
Meg: Bye.
The suite:
Tim: Hey, Connie, it's Tim.
Connie (in the phone): Oh, hi honey, how is it in Sunset beach?
Tim: Oh, it's just great. Meg and me are going out tonight so I won't be able to call you. I'm sorry.
Connie: It's Allright as long as I know you still love me, cause you do, don't you?
Tim: Of cause I do. Don't dare to think like that. Ever. I miss you baby.
Connie: That's so sweet. But, I've got to admit that I'm a little jealous that you are sleeping with Meg. Damn her.
Tim: Take it easy. Meg is. well, it's kind of hard to figure out why I actually like her. It must be that she is so innocent.
Connie: You naughty boy! Anyway, I don't even wonna go there. I miss you SO much!
Tim: I miss you too. And I love you very, very much.
Connie: Love you to, bye.
Tim: Bye.
Tim (thinks): Oh Meg, I'm sorry, but Connie is the best. I just need your money.
Ben and Maria's house:
Maria: English. Let's go to the beach.
Ben: No, not right now. I'm going down to take care of some problems at the deep. Would you like to join me?
Maria: Sure! I'll just go get dressed.
Ben: Allright, just hurry a little. Mark just called and said that some of the employers wants they're checks.
Maria: Sure, just wait for a few minutes.
A little later.
Maria: Aaww!
Ben (running up the stairs): Hey, what's wrong, sweetheart?
Maria (holding a hand on her head): Nothing. I just hurt my head. It's nothing serious. I think I'm staying at home. I should call Annie anyway.
Ben: Are you sure?
Maria: Yes. You just go on.
Ben: Allright, sweetheart. See you later.
Maria and Ben share a kiss, and Ben leaves for The Deep.
The Deep:
Meg is there without Tim and Ben just arrived.
Meg walks to the bar, as she she's a tall dark-haired stranger. She asks the bartender who he is. She doesn't know why.
The bartender: Oh, that's Ben Evans, the owner of this club.
Meg: Really? Sorry, I don't know why I even asked.
The bartender. That's Allright. A lot of women ask that, but he's married to the most beloved of them all. Maria Torres Evans.
Of some strange reason, she feels jealous, but hey, she doesn't even met the man!
Meg: Well, then just give me a martini.
The bartender: Oki doki.
Meg: Oki doki?
The bartender: Yeah, "oki doki". Don't tell me that you haven't ever heard of that word before.
Meg: actually, I haven't. You don't hear that often I Kansas.
The bartender: You're from Kansas? That explains why I haven't seen you around here before. Have you moved from Kansas to Sunset beach?
Meg: No, I'm on my honeymoon.
The bartender: A honeymoon, huh?
Meg: Yes. We just got married today.
The bartender: Shouldn't your husband be here?
Meg: Maybe. I don't know. I haven't been married before.
The bartender (laughing): That's a good one.
Meg: Thanks. By the way, I'm Meg. It's nice to meet you.
The bartender: Nice to meet you to. I'm Mark.
Meg: Catch you later.
Mark: Sure. Maybe you and your husband should come here tomorrow.
Meg: I'll remember that. Bye.
Mark: Bye.
The suite:
Meg enters the room.
Tim: Oh, hi honey.
Tim kisses her passionate.
Meg: That's a great welcome.
Tim: I think that to.
Meg: Hey, we better be going. And I can promise you that you are going to like my new dress.
Tim: I think I would.
They go to The Resort.
Ben and Maria were also going there.
The Resort:
The waiter: Can I help you?
Tim: Yeah, me and my girl. I mean wife (Meg smiling) has reservations here.
The waiter: Your name?
Tim: Mr and Mrs Truman.
They found the table and order some food.
Meg: I'm just go the ladies room and fresh up.
Tim. Sure.
Meg: I'll be back soon.
Meg leaves but bumps into Ben Evans. She recognizes him from The Deep.
Meg: Oh, I'm sorry.
As she looks into his eyes, something strange happens. Something she never felt before. She couldn't describe it.
Ben appeared to feel the same way. It was like they couldn't move. Like something was keeping them.
Finally a waiter came to Ben.
The waiter: Sorry to bother you, Mr Evans, but you're wife is asking for you.
Ben: Sure, I'll better be going to. Why did he say that? He wasn't even talking the her.
Meg (thinking): What was that all about? It was weird. over natural in some sort.
She went back to Tim and about an hour later they went back to the suite.
Tim jumped to the bed, waiting for Meg.
Tim: Sweetie, are you coming?
Meg: Tim. I don't really feel like doing it right now... I'm sorry, bur I've got a headache.
Tim: Allright. I guess I'll go to bed now.
Meg: Thank you.
Tim: No problemo. I love you.
Meg I know. Why didn't she say I love you too? And why is Ben Evans still on her mind?
The next morning.
Ben's office at The Deep:
Ben: Mrs Annville, would you please take care of these files for me?
Judy: (Leaving the office) Of cause, Mr Evans.
Ben: Thank you.
Judy: My pleasure.
At the evening:
Meg and Tim are going to The Deep.
The Deep:
Meg sees Mark behind the desk.
Mark: Oh, hi Meg!
Meg: Hi Mark. This is my husband, Tim Truman.
Mark: Nice to meet you.
Tim: Nice to meet you too.
Mark: So, can I get anything for you?
Meg: Yeah, I'll take a martini.
Tim: A Bloody Mary, if you have one.
Mark: Just a minute.
Mark leaves.
Tim: So, you two know each other?
Meg: A little. I meet him yesterday, he's a great guy.
Tim: I don't doubt it. Hey, I'm just going to call my parents, they asked to me to yesterday.
Tim kisses her quick, and disappears into another room.
Suddenly Ben came down to talk to Mark, but in the second he does that, Meg bumps into him.
Again, their eyes meet. The same strange thing happens. They can't let go. But the music starts and they both came back to reality.
Ben: I'm sorry mrs.?
Meg: Meg Cummings. no, I mean Truman.
Ben: Can't you remember what your name is? He's laughing.
Meg: I do! But I just got married...
Ben: Married? You must be happy.
Meg: Oh I am. But what IS your name?
Ben: Ben Evans, nice to meet you.
Meg: The same here.
Ben. Have we met before? You seem familiar.
Meg: Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think so.
Ben: No, you're properly right. I'm sure I would have remembered if it was so.
Meg (blushes): Oh, stop it.
Ben: Stop what?
Meg: Nothing, I'm sorry.
Ben takes a look around.
Meg: Are you looking for someone?
Ben: Actually, I do.
Meg: Who?
Ben: Mark, the bartender. Have you seen him? He got dark-blond hair and.
Meg: I know, I know. Yes, he was just here, but he went in the backroom. Are you to friends?
Ben: No, he's my employee.
Meg: You own this place?!? Meg tries to sound surprised - she didn't want to sound like she's been spying on him or something.
Ben: Yes, also the Javaweb. Have you been there?
Meg: No, I haven't. What is it?
Ben: It's a small computer café.
Meg: Sounds nice.
Ben: Oh, it is.
Meg: Maybe I should go check it out.
Ben: That would be a great idea.
Meg: Sure, what's the address?
Ben writes down the address and hands it to Meg, as Tim comes in it looks to him like Ben just gave her his number.
Tim: Hey, what are you doing? He asks Ben.
Ben: I was just giving her the address to.
Tim: To what? Your address??
Meg: Tim? What's wrong with you???
Ben: I should better be going.
Ben returns to his office.
Tim: What was that all about?!?
Meg: Nothing! He was just giving me the address to a café! God, Tim what's wrong with you??
Tim: Nothing. I'm sorry, I just thought that.
Meg: I get it. But I would never do that. Trust me.
Tim: I'm sorry.
They share a quick kiss as Mark comes in.
Mark: Hey, sorry to keep you, I was just taking care of some business.
Meg: That's okay, really.
Mark hands the drinks to them.
Meg: Oh yeah, Mark? Ben is looking for you, he was here for a minute ago or something.
Mark: Thank you, Meg, I'll better be going.
Thirty minutes after:
People are starting to show up.
Meg: Wow, looks like this place is really famous.
Tim: Yeah. Wonna dance?
Meg: It would be a pleasure.
So, they danced for hours, like newly wedded are supposed to.
The next day:
Tim and Meg woke at the suite. The night before, they DID NOT make love. Meg didn't feel to.
Tim (thinking): What's wrong with you, Meg? On our honeymoon, we have only made love once. as soon as you wake up, I will talk to you.
Soon, Meg woke up.
Tim: Good morning, sweetheart.
Meg: Hello.
Tim: I think that there is something we need to discus.
Meg (smiling): And what would that be?
Tim: Meg, you haven't been in the mood for. well, for.
Meg: Tim, please. Can't we get some breakfast first?
Tim: Allright, but I want an answer after eating.
Meg: I'll promise.
Tim and Meg get dressed and are headed to the restaurant. They eat, and they talk about the "problem".
Tim: So, Meg. Why?
Meg: Why what?
Tim: You know. you want make love.
Meg: Tim. I just don't feel like, okay?
Tim: I think that there is more in that.
Meg: Tim, really there is nothing more. I love you, okay? I just been felling a little dizzy lately, that's all.
Tim: Are you sure?
Meg: I am. Look, today we aren't going to see something together, right?
Tim: No, I guess that it's tomorrow that we are going on that sightseeing I promised you, right?
Meg: Yep. Then I'm going for a walk. The weather here are so beautiful.
Tim: Should I go with you?
Meg: No thanks. You just do what you want to. I'll be back an an hour.
Tim: Allright.
The share a quick kiss, and Meg is out of there.
Meg ends up at the Javaweb.
She makes herself comfortable in front of a computer. She logs on the Internet and writes a mail to no other then her beloved SB.
She writes: Dear SB. So, I got married to Tim. I know that I had my doubts, but I've known Tim for so long, so a guess I was just nervous. How are you doing? I know it's been a while since we last chatted or mailed each other, so contact me soon, Allright? You can't believe how happy I am: I'm on my honeymoon! This place is so amazing. The beach is great and so are the sunsets. Yes, pretty much the sunsets. I guess that's why the town is named that way. Oh, SB. I could stay here forever. In Sunset Beach. Hugs and cyber-kisses from Dorothy. She sent the e-mail and headed back to the suite.
At the evening:
Tim and Meg are at The Deep. So are Ben and Maria.
Suddenly, Ben noticed Meg's beautiful face. He can't get his eyes of it.
Maria: Ben, who are you looking for?
Ben (coming back to reality): Huh? Oh, I just saw someone I knew.
Maria (looking in the same direction and seeing Meg): Who? Her? Come on Ben, let's go say hi!
Ben: Maria, we can't.
Maria: Why? Is there something that bothers you?
Ben: No no, not at all.
Marie (smiling): Then let's go say hi.
Ben tries to pull away, but Meg sees him.
Meg: Hey Ben! Care to join us? She yelled without asking Tim.
Tim: Meg.
Meg: oh, I'm sorry Tim, but I don't want you two to be unfriends.
Ben and Maria finds some chairs and join them.
Maria: Hi, I'm Maria. You two must be Meg and Tim, right?
Meg and Tim: Yes we are.
Meg: You must be Ben's wife, Maria?
Maria: I am.
Tim: Well, it's very nice to meet you.
As the night went by, the two parts became very close friends.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Tim: So. are you in the mood?
Meg (thinking): No, I'm not. I don't why. I just don't want to hurt you. Iguess that I could just do it this once. So, she made love to Tim, and of cause he didn't know how much she was hurting.
The next day went by with sightseeing.
The day after sightseeing.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Meg: I think I'm gonna go for a walk. See you later.
Tim: Sure, love you.
Meg: I know. Of some strange reason, she never returned his comments of how she was looking or when he told her that he loved her.
Meg (thinking): Oh, Tim what is happening to me? Or should I say to us? You are the one, aren't you?
Ben and Maria's place:
Ben hasn't checked his computer for days, so he decided to take a look.
The machine said: You got mail.
Ben: That does much be from Gregory.
But he was wrong. It was from his dear Dorothy.
Ben: Dear SB. So I got married.......... SUNSET BEACH?!?! He yelled.
Maria (Coming down the stairs): Ben? What's wrong?
Ben: Nothing.
Maria: Nothing? And should I really believe that??
Ben: Oh, you mean that yelling? It was just some business. Maria: Allright then. Maria goes upstairs again.
Ben (thinking): This can't be happening! Is she messing with me? No, Dorothy would never do that. But wait a minute.. Suddenly he got a flashback about Meg's words: No! I just got married.
Ben (still thinking): Meg Cummings? No. But wait a minute. Didn't Meg tell me yesterday that her husband was named Tim? And that they came from Kansas? Dorothy from Kansas! This is unbelievable. Ben runs out of the house in hope of finding Meg. His Dorothy.
Meg is at the Javaweb, checking her mail.
Meg: Why aren't you mailing me anymore?
In the same moment, Ben enters the café and noticed the letters from SB in Meg's inbox. He is shocked after realizing the truth.
Ben: Oh my God. this isn't real.
Meg sees Ben.
Meg: Oh, hi Ben... Ben, what's wrong?
Ben: I found you. I found you..
Meg: What do you mean??
Ben: Meg, I need to talk to you.
Meg: About what?
Ben: About you. About who you are.
Meg: Allright. What do you wonna know, then?
Ben (grinning): No, it's not that. It's just that I know you. Oh my God, I know you so damn well!
Meg: Are you sure you're Allright? You seem a bit nuts.
Ben: Allright. You'd better sit down.
Meg: Ben, I am sitting down.
Ben: Oh, sorry. Well, anyway Meg... or should I say Dorothy from Kansas?
Meg freezes.
Meg: How. how could you impossible know. Unless you're. SB.
Ben: I got news for you! I am! I'm Sb! Really!
Meg almost had a blackout.
Meg: So, these (pointing at the computer screen) are from you????
Ben: You bet!
They were both thrilled that they have finally met. They looked deeply into each other's eyes while having a big smile from ear to ear. Meg broke the silence.
Meg: Oh, you're really SB, aren't you? And that explains it all! I mean, it explains why we couldn't stop starring at each other! Ben, this is SO amazing!
Ben: I know! The connection... what are we going to do about the fact that we. well, at least I felled in love with you, Meg. he was frightened what she would say now after all this.
Meg: It wasn't just you, Ben or SB. I love you too. But, we are both adults and we are both married.
Ben: I know, I know. But what should we do? We can't just go on like this never happened.
Meg: No. We can't and I know that. We have to tell, well we have to tell Tim and Maria.
Ben: yeah, you're properly right but Maria doesn't know about you. I mean about Dorothy.
Meg: And Tim doesn't know about SB either. How do we say or tell them about the "connection"?
Ben (sighs): The connection. The very special connection. To be honest with you, Meg then I don't know.
Meg: And I don't either. Hey, listen! I've got an idea. Well, a sort of idea..
Ben: What is it?
Meg: Ben, we have to leave this behind. We are both married and I'm going home to Kansas soon. You and Maria will live happy together ever after, just as you are supposed to.
Ben: I guess you're right, but.
Meg: But what?
Ben: It's just going to be really hard to let go of you. We may not know each other in person, but on the net, we were in love, Meg. I don't think that I will be able to let go of you that easy.
Meg: yes, we were in love. But we don't know each other as I know Tim and you know Maria. We would never forgive ourselves for leaving them. So, we won't It's actually a kind of simple.
Ben: But, Meg.
Meg: No buts. I may be a little strict but I have to.
Ben: You're right. But can't we at least get to know each other before you leave? Please?
Meg: I don't know. What if we fall even more in love? That would be horrible!
Ben: Not horrible. Love is such a beautiful thing.
Meg: You know what I mean! She says and laughs.
Ben: Yeah, I do. But how about it? Would you like to know the real SB? That would be in person, then.
Meg: I'd love to! She grinned.
Ben: I guessed we cleared that out. Well, I'm free tomorrow, so how about the two of us would meet at the end of the pier eight pm?
Meg: Sure. I'll call you tonight if Tim has any special plans, okay?
Ben: Of cause. See you tomorrow.
Meg: Goodbye then.
Ben: Bye.
Ben leaves the Javaweb, Meg as well.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Tim is talking to Connie.
Meg walks in on his little "chitchat".
Meg: Who is that?!
Tim (shocked by seeing Meg home so early): Hey honey. What brings you here so early?
Meg: This is MY suite too, remember??
Tim: Of cause I do.
Meg: Now, Tim please, tell who you were talking to.
Tim: My mom.
Meg: Oh, your mom? "I love you. I miss you. I'll contact you as soon as I get back, then we'll go out and I make the night REAL comfortable for you". I'm sorry Tim, but I don't buy it.
Tim: How can you even say something like that, Meg? I love you, and ONLY you!
Meg: I'm not stupid! And if there were nothing, you wouldn't mind me calling the last dialed number, would you?
Tim (nervous): Of cause not. but why do you even worry? I told you; it was nothing.
Meg: Tim, just let me dial the number, okay? It wasn't a question; cause would have done it anyway. Meg dialed the number:
Connie: Hi, Tim? (Connie's phone was able to show who was calling) Is that little bitch got home? Sorry, but I guess I'm just jealous. I mean, after all you love me the most, right? Tim, are you there?
Meg hangs up.
Meg: Connie!?! She screamed as loud as she could. Connie? You cheated on me with Connie? I can't believe this. Meg was bursts into tears.
Tim: I can explain.
Meg: Oh, really? You better have a damn good explanation for having an affair!
Tim: Meg, just listen to me.
Meg: No, sorry but I don't really feel like listening to you right now.
Tim: Please.
Meg: No, Tim. As for now, I would like to go home to Kansas and find the love of my love. Bye Tim.
Meg leaves as Tim yells that she should stay. But she isn't. Meg goes a long walk in Sunset Beach, and it's starting to get dark.
Meg (thinking): I'll better get something to eat. She heads towards to The Wafleshop.
Elaine: Oh, hi Meg! What's wrong? She asks when she sees the tears running down Meg's cheek.
Meg: Nothing.
Elaine: Don't try to fool me. I've been help for many couples. Now, would you please tell me what's wrong?
Meg: Allright. But only if you promise not to tell anyone.
Elaine: Of cause.
Meg: It's Tim. He's been cheating on me with my best friend.
Elaine: What? He's scum, Meg. If this is really true, then he doesn't deserve you. Believe me, something like that happened to my daughter.
Meg: Really? I only thought this would happen in nightmares.
Elaine: That's what Paula thought to. But, listen. Whatever you do, don't ever trust him again. And don't ever find together again. He will only hurt you.
Meg: Thank you, so very much. Could I get a sandwich?
Elaine: Sure, just a moment.
A minute after, Elaine returned with the sandwich. Meg paid, and as she was about to go, she turned around:
Meg: By the way, wasn't there a legend about Sunset Beach?
Elaine: Yeah, and it goes like this: "When the moon rises early just as the Santa Ana winds kick up out of nowhere and the sun is just dropping out of sight, whoever you meet at the far side of the pier is who you're destined to be with."
Meg: Thanks.
Meg leaves the café, and heads towards to the beach to eat her sandwich, and to get a last view of the most beautiful place ever.
Meg is sitting at the beach, and suddenly she noticed Ben standing at the pier. She had completely forgotten all about meeting him in all this mess with Tim.
Meg (thinking): I'm sorry Ben, but I can't meet you. Not now. You don't have to comfort me. I can handle this.
Suddenly, she feels a wind clearing her cheeks of the tears she cries, and she thinks: "When the moon rises early just as the Santa Ana winds kick up out of nowhere and the sun is just dropping out of sight, whoever you meet at the far side of the pier is who you're destined to be with." She asks some strange lifeguard: Hey, is this the famous Santa Ana wind?
The lifeguard: Yes it is. He leaves.
Meg: No, you are just fooling you are just fooling yourself. Ben is married, and besides, it's only a stupid legend, isn't it?
She went back to the suite to pack up the rest of her things. Lucky her, Tim wasn't there.
A few hours later, she was home. Hank and Joan was gone to sleep a long time ago, since it was in the middle of the night. She went to her room, and found an email from SB. It said: Dear Dorothy, or should I say Meg? Why didn't you show up like you were suppose to? I waited a long time, but you didn't come. Did you and Tim have plans for the night? Cause then we can just meet tomorrow, cause I really would like to know you before you are going home to Kansas. Ever since I found out that you were Dorothy, I can't stop thinking about you. Love, Ben.
She was to exhausted to write back now, but she would tomorrow. She owed him that much. She felt to sleep one minute after.
The next morning:
Meg was so embraced to go down, when her parents thought that she was having a blast in Sunset Beach. But she has to do it, so silent she moves down the stairs. Joan and Hank are to stunned to see her here.
Joan: Honey, sweetie, what are you doing here? And where is Tim?
Hank: Yes, tell us.
Meg: Mom. Dad. Tim and me are no longer a couple.
Joan: What do you mean???
Meg: That we are no longer together. I found him on a conversation with Connie. Telling her that he loved her and he admitted that he was having an affair with her. Meg was burst into tear.
Hank: That scum boy! I'll kill him! Hank looked like a tomato in his head.
Joan: Hank, please come down. Meg, are you sure?
Meg: Yes, I am completely sure! And if I were wrong, then why would he admit it?
Joan: I don't know. I guess you're right.
Meg: Yes I am. And I don't want to see him ever again. She said, took a piece of bread and a glass of milk and went to her room. She finished her breakfast and decides to mail Ben back:
Dear Ben. This is really hard for me to tell, or even think about. It's impossible for us to meet, and it's not because that Tim and I have plans, it's because. She stops for a moment, while she wipes a tear away. She continues: . Tim and I broke up. I found out that he was cheating on me with my best friend and my maid of honour, and actually I'm back in Kansas right now. I'm sorry that we never got a chance to talk for real, except the night at the deep. But at that time we didn't know who we were. I would love to keep in contact, cause you're my best friend, since Connie is gone. Yours forever, Meg.
She pushed "send" and soon after she got an answer:
Dear Meg. I can't believe what I'm reading. I'm so sorry that you I going trough right now. I want you to know that I will always be there for you, Meg. But I'm still obsessed about meeting you. What do you say that I'll being in Kansas about a week? Bye for now, Ben.
Meg (thinking): WHAT?!?! No, Ben wasn't coming to Kansas. They didn't know each other that well, and besides, she didn't want him to leave Maria. She wrote a letter about him not coming. But she couldn't make herself send it. She was to weak against seeing SB's face again. That's why she wrote that it would be fine.
Tim: I do
The priest: And do you, Meg Cummings, take Tim Truman to be your beloved husband. In good as well as bad times?
Meg: I do
The priest: I know pronouns you as wordful husband and wife, Tim? You can know kiss the bride.
Tim pulls Meg close in a short, but passionate kiss. They both smile, as they run out of the church. Friends and family are throwing rise at hem. They get into the limo as they rented, and they kiss again.
Ben's and Maria's house:
Maria: Honey, would you just come look at my newest painting?
Ben: Sure, just a moment!
Ben (looking at the painting): It's absolutely wonderful. You know what, Maria? You are just as talented as you are beautiful, and that means a lot.
Ben kisses Maria as he smiles.
Maria: Allright, enough with the chitchat, I've got to make my idea's come true.
Ben: You call this "chitchat"? I don't think you really mean that.
They share a passionate kiss, but Maria pulls Ben away and starts on a new painting.
Maria: Anyway, shouldn't you be meeting with Gregory now?
Ben: Gosh, you're right, I'll better be going, see you tonight.
Maria: Bye.
Ben: Bye.
The limo:
Tim. You are so beautiful in you're wedding dress, that I can't believe it.
Meg (blushes): Well, thank you. You don't look to bad either..
They kiss as they drive away to their honeymoon, which appears to be located in Sunset Beach.
Tim and Meg arrive to their hotel.
Meg: God, it's so beautiful out here, nothing like Kansas.
Tim: Nope, it sure isn't. Well, let's get unpacked so I can show you something even more wonderful.
Meg: Tim! We're in public.
Tim: I know, I know.
Later in the suite. They lie on the bed about to make love:
Tim: I love you more then anything in the world, Meg Truman.
Meg: And I love you to. Gosh, I can't believe my name is Truman now.
Tim (ironic): What, you don't like it?
Meg: Sure I do, silly. I love it. We're a family now.
Tim: Yes we are, and let it stay that way.
The Restore:
Ben: Oh, hi Gregory.
Gregory: Ben, just at the time as always.
Ben: With pleasure.
Gregory: So, about the Liberty Corporation..
After they talked and had some dinner, Ben heads back to Maria that he should meet with, at the cave at the beach.
When Ben arrives, he sees that the cave is filled with candle lights and Maria is sitting between them.
Maria: Hey, English.
Ben: Hey beautiful. I've brought some candles to be romantic, but it doesn't look like we're gonna need them.!
Maria (grinning): I guess not. Anyway, I've also brought something, but it's only food.
Ben: Well, what kind of food?
Maria: Some sandwiches. you didn't expect something big, did you?
Ben: No, no. I'll eat anything that's from you.
He starts kissing her while he lays her down on the pillows that Maria brought. They made love, and slept for an hour, before they head back home.
The suite:
Tim. That was great.
Meg: Oh Tim! You sound like someone from a porn movie or something.
Tim. No, really, it WAS great. Everything with you is great.
Meg: And I can say the same thing with you.
Tim. Hey, I'm sorry, but I've got to call the others to say that we're Allright. You can go shop for an evening dress or whatever you like to do. Oh yeah, remember that we are going out tonight, right?
Meg: Sure.
Tim kisses Meg, and goes into the "Living room".
Meg (thinks): Tim, you really make me happy, but why do I feel like something is missing? No, Meg, you're just fooling yourself. Tim IS the one.
Meg goes for a walk in the streets. Suddenly she sees a small café named "Elaine's wafleshop".
Meg (thinking again): I'd like some waffles.
She walks in and ask for some waffles, but suddenly some strange tells her not to.
The stranger: Hey, do not eat those waffles.
Meg: Why not?
The stranger: Because they taste like, well. The lady who appears to own the shop stops him
Elaine (ironic): Oh Michael, do you always have to warn my guests about the main traction at my shop? If didn't know any better, you would think that you were a lifeguard here, and not at the beach.
Michael laugh, but Meg is confused.
Elaine: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Elaine. I own this shop.
Meg: Oh, and I'm Meg. It's nice to meet you.
Elaine: The same here. And the "awful" man there is Michael.
Michael: Hi Meg, nice to meet you.
Meg: Nice to meet you to. Now, would someone please tell me what's going on??
Elaine: Well, Michael here, thinks my waffles stinks, but. well, they might do but anyway.
Meg: Oh that way, I guess I'll just order something else. What are you REALLY good at then?
Michael: No, let me choose for you. I think that you would take a cheese sandwich.
Meg: A cheese sandwich?
Michael: Yeah, they taste SO good.
Meg looks on Elaine for an answer.
Elaine. Well, not to brag, but they are really good.
Meg: Allright then, I'll take one of them.
She receives her sandwich and a about to leave when Elaine ask her a question.
Elaine: Hey Meg, I haven't seen you around here before, are you new here?
Meg: Oh, yes I am. My husband and me are on our honeymoon here. Actually were arrived just this morning.
Elaine: A honeymoon? That's so sweet, congratulations! Not to be rude, but I could tell something who might come in handy.
Meg: What's that?
Elaine: Well, this city isn't named Sunset Beach for nothing. The sunsets here are really beautiful, perfect for couples like you and.?
Meg: Oh, Tim. Yeah, I've heard that they are really special here. Thanks anyway.
Elaine: Bye.
Meg: Bye.
The suite:
Tim: Hey, Connie, it's Tim.
Connie (in the phone): Oh, hi honey, how is it in Sunset beach?
Tim: Oh, it's just great. Meg and me are going out tonight so I won't be able to call you. I'm sorry.
Connie: It's Allright as long as I know you still love me, cause you do, don't you?
Tim: Of cause I do. Don't dare to think like that. Ever. I miss you baby.
Connie: That's so sweet. But, I've got to admit that I'm a little jealous that you are sleeping with Meg. Damn her.
Tim: Take it easy. Meg is. well, it's kind of hard to figure out why I actually like her. It must be that she is so innocent.
Connie: You naughty boy! Anyway, I don't even wonna go there. I miss you SO much!
Tim: I miss you too. And I love you very, very much.
Connie: Love you to, bye.
Tim: Bye.
Tim (thinks): Oh Meg, I'm sorry, but Connie is the best. I just need your money.
Ben and Maria's house:
Maria: English. Let's go to the beach.
Ben: No, not right now. I'm going down to take care of some problems at the deep. Would you like to join me?
Maria: Sure! I'll just go get dressed.
Ben: Allright, just hurry a little. Mark just called and said that some of the employers wants they're checks.
Maria: Sure, just wait for a few minutes.
A little later.
Maria: Aaww!
Ben (running up the stairs): Hey, what's wrong, sweetheart?
Maria (holding a hand on her head): Nothing. I just hurt my head. It's nothing serious. I think I'm staying at home. I should call Annie anyway.
Ben: Are you sure?
Maria: Yes. You just go on.
Ben: Allright, sweetheart. See you later.
Maria and Ben share a kiss, and Ben leaves for The Deep.
The Deep:
Meg is there without Tim and Ben just arrived.
Meg walks to the bar, as she she's a tall dark-haired stranger. She asks the bartender who he is. She doesn't know why.
The bartender: Oh, that's Ben Evans, the owner of this club.
Meg: Really? Sorry, I don't know why I even asked.
The bartender. That's Allright. A lot of women ask that, but he's married to the most beloved of them all. Maria Torres Evans.
Of some strange reason, she feels jealous, but hey, she doesn't even met the man!
Meg: Well, then just give me a martini.
The bartender: Oki doki.
Meg: Oki doki?
The bartender: Yeah, "oki doki". Don't tell me that you haven't ever heard of that word before.
Meg: actually, I haven't. You don't hear that often I Kansas.
The bartender: You're from Kansas? That explains why I haven't seen you around here before. Have you moved from Kansas to Sunset beach?
Meg: No, I'm on my honeymoon.
The bartender: A honeymoon, huh?
Meg: Yes. We just got married today.
The bartender: Shouldn't your husband be here?
Meg: Maybe. I don't know. I haven't been married before.
The bartender (laughing): That's a good one.
Meg: Thanks. By the way, I'm Meg. It's nice to meet you.
The bartender: Nice to meet you to. I'm Mark.
Meg: Catch you later.
Mark: Sure. Maybe you and your husband should come here tomorrow.
Meg: I'll remember that. Bye.
Mark: Bye.
The suite:
Meg enters the room.
Tim: Oh, hi honey.
Tim kisses her passionate.
Meg: That's a great welcome.
Tim: I think that to.
Meg: Hey, we better be going. And I can promise you that you are going to like my new dress.
Tim: I think I would.
They go to The Resort.
Ben and Maria were also going there.
The Resort:
The waiter: Can I help you?
Tim: Yeah, me and my girl. I mean wife (Meg smiling) has reservations here.
The waiter: Your name?
Tim: Mr and Mrs Truman.
They found the table and order some food.
Meg: I'm just go the ladies room and fresh up.
Tim. Sure.
Meg: I'll be back soon.
Meg leaves but bumps into Ben Evans. She recognizes him from The Deep.
Meg: Oh, I'm sorry.
As she looks into his eyes, something strange happens. Something she never felt before. She couldn't describe it.
Ben appeared to feel the same way. It was like they couldn't move. Like something was keeping them.
Finally a waiter came to Ben.
The waiter: Sorry to bother you, Mr Evans, but you're wife is asking for you.
Ben: Sure, I'll better be going to. Why did he say that? He wasn't even talking the her.
Meg (thinking): What was that all about? It was weird. over natural in some sort.
She went back to Tim and about an hour later they went back to the suite.
Tim jumped to the bed, waiting for Meg.
Tim: Sweetie, are you coming?
Meg: Tim. I don't really feel like doing it right now... I'm sorry, bur I've got a headache.
Tim: Allright. I guess I'll go to bed now.
Meg: Thank you.
Tim: No problemo. I love you.
Meg I know. Why didn't she say I love you too? And why is Ben Evans still on her mind?
The next morning.
Ben's office at The Deep:
Ben: Mrs Annville, would you please take care of these files for me?
Judy: (Leaving the office) Of cause, Mr Evans.
Ben: Thank you.
Judy: My pleasure.
At the evening:
Meg and Tim are going to The Deep.
The Deep:
Meg sees Mark behind the desk.
Mark: Oh, hi Meg!
Meg: Hi Mark. This is my husband, Tim Truman.
Mark: Nice to meet you.
Tim: Nice to meet you too.
Mark: So, can I get anything for you?
Meg: Yeah, I'll take a martini.
Tim: A Bloody Mary, if you have one.
Mark: Just a minute.
Mark leaves.
Tim: So, you two know each other?
Meg: A little. I meet him yesterday, he's a great guy.
Tim: I don't doubt it. Hey, I'm just going to call my parents, they asked to me to yesterday.
Tim kisses her quick, and disappears into another room.
Suddenly Ben came down to talk to Mark, but in the second he does that, Meg bumps into him.
Again, their eyes meet. The same strange thing happens. They can't let go. But the music starts and they both came back to reality.
Ben: I'm sorry mrs.?
Meg: Meg Cummings. no, I mean Truman.
Ben: Can't you remember what your name is? He's laughing.
Meg: I do! But I just got married...
Ben: Married? You must be happy.
Meg: Oh I am. But what IS your name?
Ben: Ben Evans, nice to meet you.
Meg: The same here.
Ben. Have we met before? You seem familiar.
Meg: Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think so.
Ben: No, you're properly right. I'm sure I would have remembered if it was so.
Meg (blushes): Oh, stop it.
Ben: Stop what?
Meg: Nothing, I'm sorry.
Ben takes a look around.
Meg: Are you looking for someone?
Ben: Actually, I do.
Meg: Who?
Ben: Mark, the bartender. Have you seen him? He got dark-blond hair and.
Meg: I know, I know. Yes, he was just here, but he went in the backroom. Are you to friends?
Ben: No, he's my employee.
Meg: You own this place?!? Meg tries to sound surprised - she didn't want to sound like she's been spying on him or something.
Ben: Yes, also the Javaweb. Have you been there?
Meg: No, I haven't. What is it?
Ben: It's a small computer café.
Meg: Sounds nice.
Ben: Oh, it is.
Meg: Maybe I should go check it out.
Ben: That would be a great idea.
Meg: Sure, what's the address?
Ben writes down the address and hands it to Meg, as Tim comes in it looks to him like Ben just gave her his number.
Tim: Hey, what are you doing? He asks Ben.
Ben: I was just giving her the address to.
Tim: To what? Your address??
Meg: Tim? What's wrong with you???
Ben: I should better be going.
Ben returns to his office.
Tim: What was that all about?!?
Meg: Nothing! He was just giving me the address to a café! God, Tim what's wrong with you??
Tim: Nothing. I'm sorry, I just thought that.
Meg: I get it. But I would never do that. Trust me.
Tim: I'm sorry.
They share a quick kiss as Mark comes in.
Mark: Hey, sorry to keep you, I was just taking care of some business.
Meg: That's okay, really.
Mark hands the drinks to them.
Meg: Oh yeah, Mark? Ben is looking for you, he was here for a minute ago or something.
Mark: Thank you, Meg, I'll better be going.
Thirty minutes after:
People are starting to show up.
Meg: Wow, looks like this place is really famous.
Tim: Yeah. Wonna dance?
Meg: It would be a pleasure.
So, they danced for hours, like newly wedded are supposed to.
The next day:
Tim and Meg woke at the suite. The night before, they DID NOT make love. Meg didn't feel to.
Tim (thinking): What's wrong with you, Meg? On our honeymoon, we have only made love once. as soon as you wake up, I will talk to you.
Soon, Meg woke up.
Tim: Good morning, sweetheart.
Meg: Hello.
Tim: I think that there is something we need to discus.
Meg (smiling): And what would that be?
Tim: Meg, you haven't been in the mood for. well, for.
Meg: Tim, please. Can't we get some breakfast first?
Tim: Allright, but I want an answer after eating.
Meg: I'll promise.
Tim and Meg get dressed and are headed to the restaurant. They eat, and they talk about the "problem".
Tim: So, Meg. Why?
Meg: Why what?
Tim: You know. you want make love.
Meg: Tim. I just don't feel like, okay?
Tim: I think that there is more in that.
Meg: Tim, really there is nothing more. I love you, okay? I just been felling a little dizzy lately, that's all.
Tim: Are you sure?
Meg: I am. Look, today we aren't going to see something together, right?
Tim: No, I guess that it's tomorrow that we are going on that sightseeing I promised you, right?
Meg: Yep. Then I'm going for a walk. The weather here are so beautiful.
Tim: Should I go with you?
Meg: No thanks. You just do what you want to. I'll be back an an hour.
Tim: Allright.
The share a quick kiss, and Meg is out of there.
Meg ends up at the Javaweb.
She makes herself comfortable in front of a computer. She logs on the Internet and writes a mail to no other then her beloved SB.
She writes: Dear SB. So, I got married to Tim. I know that I had my doubts, but I've known Tim for so long, so a guess I was just nervous. How are you doing? I know it's been a while since we last chatted or mailed each other, so contact me soon, Allright? You can't believe how happy I am: I'm on my honeymoon! This place is so amazing. The beach is great and so are the sunsets. Yes, pretty much the sunsets. I guess that's why the town is named that way. Oh, SB. I could stay here forever. In Sunset Beach. Hugs and cyber-kisses from Dorothy. She sent the e-mail and headed back to the suite.
At the evening:
Tim and Meg are at The Deep. So are Ben and Maria.
Suddenly, Ben noticed Meg's beautiful face. He can't get his eyes of it.
Maria: Ben, who are you looking for?
Ben (coming back to reality): Huh? Oh, I just saw someone I knew.
Maria (looking in the same direction and seeing Meg): Who? Her? Come on Ben, let's go say hi!
Ben: Maria, we can't.
Maria: Why? Is there something that bothers you?
Ben: No no, not at all.
Marie (smiling): Then let's go say hi.
Ben tries to pull away, but Meg sees him.
Meg: Hey Ben! Care to join us? She yelled without asking Tim.
Tim: Meg.
Meg: oh, I'm sorry Tim, but I don't want you two to be unfriends.
Ben and Maria finds some chairs and join them.
Maria: Hi, I'm Maria. You two must be Meg and Tim, right?
Meg and Tim: Yes we are.
Meg: You must be Ben's wife, Maria?
Maria: I am.
Tim: Well, it's very nice to meet you.
As the night went by, the two parts became very close friends.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Tim: So. are you in the mood?
Meg (thinking): No, I'm not. I don't why. I just don't want to hurt you. Iguess that I could just do it this once. So, she made love to Tim, and of cause he didn't know how much she was hurting.
The next day went by with sightseeing.
The day after sightseeing.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Meg: I think I'm gonna go for a walk. See you later.
Tim: Sure, love you.
Meg: I know. Of some strange reason, she never returned his comments of how she was looking or when he told her that he loved her.
Meg (thinking): Oh, Tim what is happening to me? Or should I say to us? You are the one, aren't you?
Ben and Maria's place:
Ben hasn't checked his computer for days, so he decided to take a look.
The machine said: You got mail.
Ben: That does much be from Gregory.
But he was wrong. It was from his dear Dorothy.
Ben: Dear SB. So I got married.......... SUNSET BEACH?!?! He yelled.
Maria (Coming down the stairs): Ben? What's wrong?
Ben: Nothing.
Maria: Nothing? And should I really believe that??
Ben: Oh, you mean that yelling? It was just some business. Maria: Allright then. Maria goes upstairs again.
Ben (thinking): This can't be happening! Is she messing with me? No, Dorothy would never do that. But wait a minute.. Suddenly he got a flashback about Meg's words: No! I just got married.
Ben (still thinking): Meg Cummings? No. But wait a minute. Didn't Meg tell me yesterday that her husband was named Tim? And that they came from Kansas? Dorothy from Kansas! This is unbelievable. Ben runs out of the house in hope of finding Meg. His Dorothy.
Meg is at the Javaweb, checking her mail.
Meg: Why aren't you mailing me anymore?
In the same moment, Ben enters the café and noticed the letters from SB in Meg's inbox. He is shocked after realizing the truth.
Ben: Oh my God. this isn't real.
Meg sees Ben.
Meg: Oh, hi Ben... Ben, what's wrong?
Ben: I found you. I found you..
Meg: What do you mean??
Ben: Meg, I need to talk to you.
Meg: About what?
Ben: About you. About who you are.
Meg: Allright. What do you wonna know, then?
Ben (grinning): No, it's not that. It's just that I know you. Oh my God, I know you so damn well!
Meg: Are you sure you're Allright? You seem a bit nuts.
Ben: Allright. You'd better sit down.
Meg: Ben, I am sitting down.
Ben: Oh, sorry. Well, anyway Meg... or should I say Dorothy from Kansas?
Meg freezes.
Meg: How. how could you impossible know. Unless you're. SB.
Ben: I got news for you! I am! I'm Sb! Really!
Meg almost had a blackout.
Meg: So, these (pointing at the computer screen) are from you????
Ben: You bet!
They were both thrilled that they have finally met. They looked deeply into each other's eyes while having a big smile from ear to ear. Meg broke the silence.
Meg: Oh, you're really SB, aren't you? And that explains it all! I mean, it explains why we couldn't stop starring at each other! Ben, this is SO amazing!
Ben: I know! The connection... what are we going to do about the fact that we. well, at least I felled in love with you, Meg. he was frightened what she would say now after all this.
Meg: It wasn't just you, Ben or SB. I love you too. But, we are both adults and we are both married.
Ben: I know, I know. But what should we do? We can't just go on like this never happened.
Meg: No. We can't and I know that. We have to tell, well we have to tell Tim and Maria.
Ben: yeah, you're properly right but Maria doesn't know about you. I mean about Dorothy.
Meg: And Tim doesn't know about SB either. How do we say or tell them about the "connection"?
Ben (sighs): The connection. The very special connection. To be honest with you, Meg then I don't know.
Meg: And I don't either. Hey, listen! I've got an idea. Well, a sort of idea..
Ben: What is it?
Meg: Ben, we have to leave this behind. We are both married and I'm going home to Kansas soon. You and Maria will live happy together ever after, just as you are supposed to.
Ben: I guess you're right, but.
Meg: But what?
Ben: It's just going to be really hard to let go of you. We may not know each other in person, but on the net, we were in love, Meg. I don't think that I will be able to let go of you that easy.
Meg: yes, we were in love. But we don't know each other as I know Tim and you know Maria. We would never forgive ourselves for leaving them. So, we won't It's actually a kind of simple.
Ben: But, Meg.
Meg: No buts. I may be a little strict but I have to.
Ben: You're right. But can't we at least get to know each other before you leave? Please?
Meg: I don't know. What if we fall even more in love? That would be horrible!
Ben: Not horrible. Love is such a beautiful thing.
Meg: You know what I mean! She says and laughs.
Ben: Yeah, I do. But how about it? Would you like to know the real SB? That would be in person, then.
Meg: I'd love to! She grinned.
Ben: I guessed we cleared that out. Well, I'm free tomorrow, so how about the two of us would meet at the end of the pier eight pm?
Meg: Sure. I'll call you tonight if Tim has any special plans, okay?
Ben: Of cause. See you tomorrow.
Meg: Goodbye then.
Ben: Bye.
Ben leaves the Javaweb, Meg as well.
Tim and Meg's suite:
Tim is talking to Connie.
Meg walks in on his little "chitchat".
Meg: Who is that?!
Tim (shocked by seeing Meg home so early): Hey honey. What brings you here so early?
Meg: This is MY suite too, remember??
Tim: Of cause I do.
Meg: Now, Tim please, tell who you were talking to.
Tim: My mom.
Meg: Oh, your mom? "I love you. I miss you. I'll contact you as soon as I get back, then we'll go out and I make the night REAL comfortable for you". I'm sorry Tim, but I don't buy it.
Tim: How can you even say something like that, Meg? I love you, and ONLY you!
Meg: I'm not stupid! And if there were nothing, you wouldn't mind me calling the last dialed number, would you?
Tim (nervous): Of cause not. but why do you even worry? I told you; it was nothing.
Meg: Tim, just let me dial the number, okay? It wasn't a question; cause would have done it anyway. Meg dialed the number:
Connie: Hi, Tim? (Connie's phone was able to show who was calling) Is that little bitch got home? Sorry, but I guess I'm just jealous. I mean, after all you love me the most, right? Tim, are you there?
Meg hangs up.
Meg: Connie!?! She screamed as loud as she could. Connie? You cheated on me with Connie? I can't believe this. Meg was bursts into tears.
Tim: I can explain.
Meg: Oh, really? You better have a damn good explanation for having an affair!
Tim: Meg, just listen to me.
Meg: No, sorry but I don't really feel like listening to you right now.
Tim: Please.
Meg: No, Tim. As for now, I would like to go home to Kansas and find the love of my love. Bye Tim.
Meg leaves as Tim yells that she should stay. But she isn't. Meg goes a long walk in Sunset Beach, and it's starting to get dark.
Meg (thinking): I'll better get something to eat. She heads towards to The Wafleshop.
Elaine: Oh, hi Meg! What's wrong? She asks when she sees the tears running down Meg's cheek.
Meg: Nothing.
Elaine: Don't try to fool me. I've been help for many couples. Now, would you please tell me what's wrong?
Meg: Allright. But only if you promise not to tell anyone.
Elaine: Of cause.
Meg: It's Tim. He's been cheating on me with my best friend.
Elaine: What? He's scum, Meg. If this is really true, then he doesn't deserve you. Believe me, something like that happened to my daughter.
Meg: Really? I only thought this would happen in nightmares.
Elaine: That's what Paula thought to. But, listen. Whatever you do, don't ever trust him again. And don't ever find together again. He will only hurt you.
Meg: Thank you, so very much. Could I get a sandwich?
Elaine: Sure, just a moment.
A minute after, Elaine returned with the sandwich. Meg paid, and as she was about to go, she turned around:
Meg: By the way, wasn't there a legend about Sunset Beach?
Elaine: Yeah, and it goes like this: "When the moon rises early just as the Santa Ana winds kick up out of nowhere and the sun is just dropping out of sight, whoever you meet at the far side of the pier is who you're destined to be with."
Meg: Thanks.
Meg leaves the café, and heads towards to the beach to eat her sandwich, and to get a last view of the most beautiful place ever.
Meg is sitting at the beach, and suddenly she noticed Ben standing at the pier. She had completely forgotten all about meeting him in all this mess with Tim.
Meg (thinking): I'm sorry Ben, but I can't meet you. Not now. You don't have to comfort me. I can handle this.
Suddenly, she feels a wind clearing her cheeks of the tears she cries, and she thinks: "When the moon rises early just as the Santa Ana winds kick up out of nowhere and the sun is just dropping out of sight, whoever you meet at the far side of the pier is who you're destined to be with." She asks some strange lifeguard: Hey, is this the famous Santa Ana wind?
The lifeguard: Yes it is. He leaves.
Meg: No, you are just fooling you are just fooling yourself. Ben is married, and besides, it's only a stupid legend, isn't it?
She went back to the suite to pack up the rest of her things. Lucky her, Tim wasn't there.
A few hours later, she was home. Hank and Joan was gone to sleep a long time ago, since it was in the middle of the night. She went to her room, and found an email from SB. It said: Dear Dorothy, or should I say Meg? Why didn't you show up like you were suppose to? I waited a long time, but you didn't come. Did you and Tim have plans for the night? Cause then we can just meet tomorrow, cause I really would like to know you before you are going home to Kansas. Ever since I found out that you were Dorothy, I can't stop thinking about you. Love, Ben.
She was to exhausted to write back now, but she would tomorrow. She owed him that much. She felt to sleep one minute after.
The next morning:
Meg was so embraced to go down, when her parents thought that she was having a blast in Sunset Beach. But she has to do it, so silent she moves down the stairs. Joan and Hank are to stunned to see her here.
Joan: Honey, sweetie, what are you doing here? And where is Tim?
Hank: Yes, tell us.
Meg: Mom. Dad. Tim and me are no longer a couple.
Joan: What do you mean???
Meg: That we are no longer together. I found him on a conversation with Connie. Telling her that he loved her and he admitted that he was having an affair with her. Meg was burst into tear.
Hank: That scum boy! I'll kill him! Hank looked like a tomato in his head.
Joan: Hank, please come down. Meg, are you sure?
Meg: Yes, I am completely sure! And if I were wrong, then why would he admit it?
Joan: I don't know. I guess you're right.
Meg: Yes I am. And I don't want to see him ever again. She said, took a piece of bread and a glass of milk and went to her room. She finished her breakfast and decides to mail Ben back:
Dear Ben. This is really hard for me to tell, or even think about. It's impossible for us to meet, and it's not because that Tim and I have plans, it's because. She stops for a moment, while she wipes a tear away. She continues: . Tim and I broke up. I found out that he was cheating on me with my best friend and my maid of honour, and actually I'm back in Kansas right now. I'm sorry that we never got a chance to talk for real, except the night at the deep. But at that time we didn't know who we were. I would love to keep in contact, cause you're my best friend, since Connie is gone. Yours forever, Meg.
She pushed "send" and soon after she got an answer:
Dear Meg. I can't believe what I'm reading. I'm so sorry that you I going trough right now. I want you to know that I will always be there for you, Meg. But I'm still obsessed about meeting you. What do you say that I'll being in Kansas about a week? Bye for now, Ben.
Meg (thinking): WHAT?!?! No, Ben wasn't coming to Kansas. They didn't know each other that well, and besides, she didn't want him to leave Maria. She wrote a letter about him not coming. But she couldn't make herself send it. She was to weak against seeing SB's face again. That's why she wrote that it would be fine.
