It's nighttime and we find ourselves outside a warehouse. There is some light coming from inside the cracks of the same double sliding doors that we saw X open earlier. This is where Kelso is being held.
Inside the warehouse, we find Kelso laying down on a board that is in an inclination of ten to twenty degrees. His hands and legs are cuffed to the ends of the board. X approaches him with a thin cloth and a bucket of water.
KELSO: What are you doing with those?
X wraps the cloth around his face.
KELSO: (muffled) What are you doing?
X begins pouring the bucket of water onto Kelso's cloth-covered face. Kelso starts panicking. He's experiencing a torture method called "waterboarding." It's where the prisoner, victim in this case, experiences the sensation of drowning.
KELSO: (muffled) I CAN'T BREATHE! I'M DROWNING! PLEASE! STOP!
X continues the pouring with caution. It could become fatal. But X, despite his agenda to murder, is not ready for Kelso's death just yet. He goes as far as making sure that Kelso survives any of the injuries he inflicts on him.
X removes the cloth and allows Kelso to breathe. Kelso nearly coughs up his entire lungs. The waterboarding really hurt him inside. After Kelso is finished coughing, he passes out from the impact of not just from waterboarding but from his entire torturous experience. He's been through hell and back all day today. He is done for the night.
X walks off...leaving Kelso to sleep it off for the night.
Nancy is in her her pajamas. She's brushing her teeth, getting ready for bed. Tyler walks into the bathroom to help her if need be.
TYLER: So did you have fun with Abby today?
Nancy smiles as they talk about Abby. To Tyler this is a good sign.
NANCY: Yeah. I like her.
TYLER: How much?
NANCY: A lot. I hope she comes over again.
Tyler smiles. Now is the time to tell her something as a hint.
TYLER: I think once you go to bed, I think I'm gonna go out and do some stuff with Abby.
NANCY: Okay.
Tyler doesn't want to just say that he's dating Abby yet. In fact, he won't date Abby yet. Not until he does what he's about to do. We saw this coming. Nancy is what matters the most to him. Her opinion is the only opinion he's willing to accept. So Tyler is about to do what we knew he'd do. Do something an older-adult brother hardly does for his little-kid sister.
Tyler puts his arm around Nancy.
TYLER: Nancy? Is this okay with you? Me seeing Abby.
NANCY: You mean you and Abby being together like how Grandma and Grandpa are together?
TYLER: Yeah. Something like that. How would you feel about it if that happened between Abby and I? Would it bother you or would you be okay with this?
Nancy looks into Tyler's eyes. She finally understands what's happening. Her big brother is asking her for her permission to date a woman. To have another girl besides herself in Tyler's life. She smiles.
NANCY: I like her a lot. And you like her. I know that she likes you, too. She makes you happy. I can tell by your smile when you see her. I'm okay with you being with Abby. If she makes you happy...then you should be with her.
Tyler and Nancy smile at each other. They hug each other. It's official: Nancy has just given Tyler her permission to date Abby. Something we rarely see between siblings.
TYLER: Thank you, Nancy.
NANCY: I want you to be happy. Like you've made me happy. You deserve it.
Nancy is being tucked into bed. But this time it's not by Red and Kitty. She's being tucked in by Tyler and Abby. Tyler hugs and kisses her.
TYLER: Goodnight, Baby. I love you.
NANCY: Goodnight. I love you, too.
Tyler and Abby begin to head out the door. But Nancy feels like something is missing. Like something that should have happened didn't happen. She sits up.
NANCY: Abby.
Abby turns to Nancy.
ABBY: Yes?
Nancy holds her arms out. She wants Abby to hug her. Abby smiles and goes over to her. Abby and Nancy hug each other. Nancy gives Abby a kiss on the cheek. Abby's heart is melting. She feels like Nancy has just adopted her as a "sister" or a relative who she can love and trust.
Abby lays Nancy down and pulls her blanket up. The two smile at each other. Abby gives Nancy a kiss on the head.
ABBY: Goodnight, Nancy.
NANCY: Goodnight, Abby.
Nancy watches as her brother and the woman she hopes to be his girlfriend walk out while they hold hands. It puts a smile on her little face.
Outside Nancy's bedroom, Tyler and Abby are smiling. Tyler looks happier than we've ever seen him. Not only does his sister like his choice but he, too, likes his choice. It's now that we realize that Betsy is no longer an interest to him especially since she's his cousin. But it's Abby that Tyler wants.
TYLER: What do you know? You won that little girl's heart.
ABBY: I love her. She is an angel. And the thing is, when I started to bond with her, I did do it so that I can win her over so that I can win you over. But as we started to bond, I realize that Nancy and I have something special. We actually bonded for real. I felt really good being with her. I found me a little girlfriend to talk to. To do fun things with. I no longer wanted her approval for you and I. I wanted her approval for her and I to be friends. I love spending time with her.
Tyler does not stop smiling as Abby says all of this. It's tugging at him inside to hear that the girl he likes and that the girl he loves are developing a special friendship. A friendship that is definitely required from him if he is to be with a girl. Nancy comes first. So if Nancy likes the girl, Tyler will keep the girl.
TYLER: I'm glad to hear that. You may needed to win her over by being friends with her. But by being friends with her, you've won me over. The moment you brought home a happy little girl eating ice cream...you won me over.
Abby smiles. Tyler touches her face.
TYLER: Is this what you want? Do you wanna be with me?
Abby doesn't have to think about it. She knows the answers. She's known it for a while.
ABBY: Yes. Do you wanna be with me?
Tyler is the one who has to think for a moment. But it's quick. It does not take long for him to make his decision.
TYLER: Yes. I do.
Tyler leans towards her. Halfway through his leaning, Abby leans towards him. And their lips meet. Their first real kiss. Their kiss in the basement, in Chapter 8 "Dance Off", occurred while they were both drunk and it was done to piss off Betsy. But this kiss is for real. Meaningful and romantic.
It's official now: Tyler and Abby are in a relationship. The first relationship either one of them has ever been in.
We're in Tyler's apartment. The door barges open. Tyler and Abby are making out as they walk in. Tyler kicks the door shut behind him as they continue to get hot and heavy.
They kick their shoes off, without removing their lips or tongues away from each other. They begin helping each other remove their clothes starting with their shirts.
They stop for a moment to look at each other. They're nervous about this. But they want it. They're both still virgins. And they're prepared to give themselves to each other on their first time.
They continue removing their clothes by taking off their pants. Tyler is wearing boxers and Abby is wearing white panties rather than sexy lingerie. This fact continues to show Abby's good morals of not being too sexualized as much as other girls. While other girls who are underage give it up too quickly and easily, Abby, an adult virgin, is obviously the type of girl who waits for the right man to give herself to. And tonight she has found that man and is ready for it.
As they continue kissing and removing their clothes, we TRANSITION to Tyler and Abby making love in his bed. Tyler is on top of Abby. They both moan with pleasure. Abby is feeling a little bit of pain from Tyler penetrating her. But she, nevertheless, continues to make love to him.
We TRANSITION to them a few moments later as they roll on the bed, allowing Abby to be on top as she begins to ride him. Abby has her head back as she moans out loud. She's clenching his sweaty chest. He, too, is moaning. About to have an orgasm.
They go faster as they're both beginning to reach their climax. Then it happens...with a loud moan. Abby lays on Tyler's chest afterwards. Both are tired, sweaty, and satisfied with their first time.
We move away from them and go to Tyler's closed blinds over his window. We can see that somebody is watching them.
Outside his window, we find that their peeper is BETSY. She's sobbing. Furious with fire and blood in her eyes.
BETSY: (to herself) How can you do this to me, Tyler? I was supposed to be your first. You were supposed to be my first. How can you sleep with that little girl? She doesn't deserve a man like you.
Betsy pulls something out of her purse. It's a knife…just like X's knife. She gives Tyler and Abby, who are unaware that she's watching them, the same angry-raged-with-murder look in her eyes that we've seen X have.
We TRANSITION to the next morning about five-thirty. Tyler and Abby are sleeping. Still naked. Tyler wakes up. He carefully removes Abby's arm from his chest, as to not wake her up, and gets out of his bed. He puts on his boxers and walks away from the bed. Abby wakes up and finds that Tyler is not in bed with her.
In the kitchen, Tyler puts in two pieces of poptarts in the oven. He goes to his cupboard and takes out a glass. He goes into the refrigerator and pulls out a container of orange juice. He pours himself a glass.
Abby walks into the kitchen wearing her shirt and her panties.
ABBY: Hey.
TYLER: Hey. Did I wake ya?
ABBY: No.
TYLER: Want some orange juice?
ABBY: Sure.
Tyler gets another glass and pours her a glass. She takes a drink of her juice. The poptarts pop up. Tyler grabs two paper plates. He places one poptart on each plate. He gives a plate to Abby.
They begin to have their breakfast together.
TYLER: So how was it? Last night.
ABBY: It wasn't bad. It hurt a little. For some girls the first time could hurt. How was it for you?
TYLER: It was good. Wasn't anything I expected. But it was good.
ABBY: It'll get better. Donna told me about her first time with Eric. Apparently it was really bad.
TYLER: Yeah. Eric told me about it, too.
ABBY: Donna said after they practiced that it got better. So we'll do the same. It'll get better for us, too.
Tyler nods.
ABBY: But let's not worry about that right now. We got plenty of time for that. We have a lot to look forward to now. So much stuff we must experience together. So many things we should do. I have a great feeling about this.
TYLER: I do, too. You're right. Let's focus what's right in front of us.
ABBY: Yeah.
They smile at each other. They're happy together. This is definitely the start of a great relationship. They give each other a kiss.
Outside Tyler's apartment, we find a car parked somewhere in the parking lot. We can't see anyone inside. But when we hear Tyler's front door open, Betsy sits up from the backseat. She had stayed the night in her car outside his apartment. She watches as…
Tyler and Abby leave his apartment together. They're holding hands. Smiling. Looking very happy together. They go to his truck where Tyler opens the passenger side door for his new girlfriend and helps her into the truck. He's such a gentlemen.
As Tyler goes to the driver's side of his truck, we find Betsy crawling over to the driver's seat of her car. She's in a hurry to start her car.
Both vehicles start. But Betsy waits until Tyler has already backed out and begins to drive away from his parking space before she starts backing out of hers. Tyler's truck exits the parking lot when Betsy finally starts driving away from her parking space. She's giving him enough space so that he doesn't know that she's following him but at the same time making sure she's in a position where she can't lose him.
