SCENE 1- MIRANDA'S FLAT

MIRANDA IS SITTING ON THE SOFA.

MIRANDA:

Hello and welcome. Do come and join. And you; latecomer, take your seat quickly if you please, thank you kindly. It's been quite a day. In fact, every time I think of what's happened, I come over all unnecessary. I'm trying to keep it together for the gang, but all I really want to do is duvet cocoon and weep.

But I'm being skittish, and you are in the dark; I must fill you in forthwith. We've all be worried about Clive; although, to be fair, one of us obviously wasn't at all worried. But more on that later. Three weeks ago, there was a huge argument at the restaurant; it started out as a lovely get together for Clive's birthday; Gary did the food, Mum made a cake, and everything was perfect.

CUT TO FLASHBACK:

SCENE 2 - RESTAURANT

MIRANDA, STEVIE, TILLY, PENNY, CLIVE AND GARY ARE HAVING A PARTY. GARY POURS THE WINE AND PENNY BRINGS IN A LARGE BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH CANDLES.

ALL:

(SING) Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Clive, Happy Birthday to you! Hooray!

CLIVE BLOWS OUT THE CANDLES AND CUTS THE CAKE.

MIRANDA:

What did you wish?

CLIVE:

If I tell you it won't come true. But I could expose something about one of you that would send shockwaves around the group.

ALL:

(GASP)

END OF FLASHBACK.
