Ramyfan1981- I don't want to give anything away, but Ricky and Amy are my favorite couple also, and I think they should of ended up together, so just keep that in mind :)
Mexzaq- I can't tell, but you may be on to something ;)
INT: DOCTORS OFFICE - DAY
We see a female doctor in a white coat sitting at her desk; she is looking towards the camera with her hands folded. We are unable to tell who is sitting in front of her.
DOCTOR
I'm afraid the test results have come back positive. We need to start treatment right away, and being that you are in Stage two you should have a 65% chance of fighting infection, but you should really take these pamphlets home, look them over and decide on your options. Chemotherapy is something we will start right away; however, you should consider a Mastectomy, because your chances of recovery will become greater if we remove the cancerous tissue all together.
Suddenly we see Lauren sitting on the other end of the table. All the color drained from her face, she looks terrified. She is speechless and just looking back at the doctor in shock.
DOCTOR
I know this is difficult to hear, but we did the right thing by taking the biopsy, and although it is hard to take in at the moment, we are doing the right things now, and you are extremely lucky that we located it early. You will need support throughout this time, people to comfort you and keep you strong. Do you have family out here?
LAUREN
No. Not here, back home.
DOCTOR
Friends?
LAUREN
Yes, well sort of, not anyone I would really tell this to though.
Doctor sighs.
DOCTOR
Well, maybe you should think about contacting your friends and family back home, you are going to need people to talk to. This is never an easy experience to go through, and although your chances of remission are high, you are going to need positive people to surround you.
The room is silent for a few minutes. We see Laurens face, she is in complete shock. She doesn't understand why this had to happen to her, and at such a young age.
FADE OUT
INT: HAWAII/ ADRIAN AND OMARS HONEYMOON SUITE - NIGHT
Adrian and Omar are lying in bed; Omar is kissing Adrian's neck. Adrian is staring at the ceiling, almost unresponsive to Omar's affection. Omar notices and stops kissing her.
OMAR
Adrian what's going on?
Adrian realizes Omar is talking to her.
ADRIAN
Nothing.
OMAR
C'mon Adrian, you have been distant since we got here, what is the matter with you?
Adrian looks away from Omar.
ADRIAN
Nothing I'm just exhausted, the heat out here is getting to me.
Omar rolls his eyes; he knows she is lying to him. He plops back against the pillow.
OMAR
I don't know Adrian; you have been acting strange since we got married. Did someone say something to you or something? Are you regretting marrying me?
Adrian cuts him off.
ADRIAN
No! I'm not regretting marrying you! Why would you even say that?
OMAR
I don't know Adrian. This is our honeymoon, we are supposed to be happy and in bliss basically, but all you have done so far is shut me out. It's like your physically here with me, but you're not mentally here with me. I keep catching you drifting off like you are in a whole other place.
Adrian quickly tries to think of a response.
ADRIAN
I'm sorry. I guess I just can't believe the wedding is over already, and that we are married. All that stress over a perfect event and in just a couple of hours it's over. I guess I'm just getting used to not having to plan anything; it's been like two years of non-stop planning and then all of a sudden nothing anymore.
Omar crunches his eyebrows.
OMAR
That is what all this is about?
Adrian looks nervous.
ADRIAN
Yeah...
Omar laughs.
OMAR
God Adrian, that's not that serious to be this distraught over it. I get that it's weird to have everything finished now, but I would almost think you were sad over it.
Adrian awkwardly laughs.
ADRIAN
Silly isn't it?
OMAR
Uh, yeah. C'mon, forget about all of that.
Adrian smiles at Omar.
ADRIAN
Your right...
Omar starts kissing Adrian's neck, she looks over at him with a nervous look, and she wants to tell him the truth but just can't bring herself to do that to him. She forces herself to participate in the affection, but we see her face as she turns towards Omar. The guilt on her face is pretty overwhelming.
TRANSITION TO:
INT: JOHNS BEDROOM - DAY
It is Friday morning. Amy is still sleeping and Ricky is in John's room with him. Ricky is getting clothes into a backpack for John to take with him later that night. John is getting ready for school.
JOHN
You are picking me up early from school today?
RICKY
Yep, I want you to come with me; we have to do something before we leave tonight.
JOHN
What are we doing?
Ricky smiles at John.
RICKY
I can't tell you exactly yet buddy.
John makes a face.
JOHN
I want to know!
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
You'll see later buddy, I promise. When I pick you up from school you will see.
JOHN
Does it have to do with what we got at the mall the other day?
Ricky smiles.
RICKY
Yes it does, but remember mommy doesn't know about that so you have to keep it a secret.
JOHN
I have, I haven't said anything to her.
RICKY
I know you haven't, I'm proud of you.
JOHN
I know how to keep a secret!
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
I know you do buddy.
Suddenly Amy walks in John's bedroom.
AMY
Knock, knock.
Ricky and John see Amy; they look at each other and smile.
JOHN
Hi Mommy.
AMY
Hey baby, getting ready for school?
JOHN
Yup.
Amy smiles, and then looks at Ricky.
AMY
Do you want me to take him? I have to stop by my dad's.
Ricky looks at John as if he was saying "you better not tell our secret".
RICKY
Yeah, if you want to. I have a busy day at the shop so if I get there early I can try and get everything done earlier.
Amy smiles.
AMY
What time are we leaving tonight for this "surprise"?
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
Probably about four. I'm going to pick John up from school and then I'll meet you here afterwards.
AMY
Okay... Is there a certain way I should be dressed?
RICKY
No. What do you mean?
AMY
I don't know, I have no clue where we are going and I don't know if I should be dressed casual or dressy?
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
Just dress comfortable, however you want. Just pack an extra pair of clothes for tomorrow.
Amy is looking at Ricky with a curious look. Ricky notices and laughs, he zips up John's bag of clothes for tonight, sets it aside and then walks over to John kisses him on the head and then walks towards Amy. He kisses Amy.
RICKY
Stop thinking about it, it's going to be a nice time. I'll see you later.
Amy smiles.
AMY
Okay.
TRANSITION TO:
INT: EMPIRE STATE BUILDING/ NYC - DAY
Grace and Ben are sightseeing. Ben took her to see the Medical School earlier that morning and Grace really liked it. They are now seeing the city, and hanging out together.
We see the view from the observatory floor, the Manhattan skyline looks amazing, and Grace can't believe the view.
GRACE
Wow, this is amazing. I mean I've seen the city when I came to visit Adrian, but this view is just... breathtaking.
BEN
I know, isn't it? This is like the best place to really see the city, to take it all in. New York is pretty amazing.
GRACE
It really is.
BEN
So you think it's a possibility you will decide to come here?
GRACE
Yeah, definitely. I mean the school is great, and not to mention it is one of the best Medical Schools in the country. Plus I get to hang out with you, Adrian, and Omar. It will feel so good to have my friends around you know?
Ben smiles, although he knows the chances of them all hanging out with Omar are pretty much slim to none, and Adrian may possibly avoid him altogether as well.
GRACE
Can I ask you something Ben?
BEN
Yeah, sure.
GRACE
I don't want it to be awkward okay? You can tell me the truth.
Ben looks confused.
BEN
Okay...
GRACE
Do you ever wonder about you and me, I mean like back in high school, when we briefly dated...
Ben laughs.
BEN
Yeah, why?
GRACE
Well I just wonder if all the drama with Adrian, Ricky, and Amy wasn't going on, I wonder if we would have hit it off, you know?
Ben smiles.
BEN
Well I was pretty smitten by you Grace, especially freshman year.
Grace laughs.
GRACE
Really? Oh my god I didn't know...
BEN
Yeah well, you were with Jack at the time, and then Amy came into my life quickly and well you know how it all went from there.
Grace nodded.
GRACE
God there was so much drama in high school... It felt like it never ended.
BEN
I know. I wish I could go back and do things differently though.
GRACE
Differently how?
BEN
Well for starters, pursuing Amy was a mistake I should have never gotten myself into.
GRACE
Aw, but you guys were great together for a little while.
BEN
Yeah, except for the fact that she was pregnant with Ricky's baby while we were together...
GRACE
Well, yeah... Everyone thought you were pretty crazy being with a pregnant girl that wasn't even pregnant with your child.
Ben chuckles.
BEN
I guess it was kind of stupid in a way. I had no idea what I was getting myself into though, I was pretty naive then...
GRACE
Well I guess there is a reason for everything though right?
Ben shrugs.
BEN
I don't know, I guess so.
GRACE
I don't know I guess I asked that question though because I think we were really similar in high school, I mean besides our relationship drama. If none of them were in the picture, I think we would have clicked.
BEN
Possibly.
Grace smiles. Ben notices the wind is making Grace a little cold, he offers her his sweater. She looks at him and smiles.

Yes, thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you allowing me to do this. I know it's a little out of the ordinary, but this place has a real sentimental importance for this event.
Listening.
RICKY
No problem. Thank you so much, Bye.
He hangs up his cell phone and smiles, he quickly calls George.
GEORGE
Hey Ricky.
RICKY
Hey, everything is set up for tonight, it's turning out great. The food will be ready for me to pick up at like one?
GEORGE
Yup the kitchen is working on it now. They are going to pack them in tin containers and give you a couple burners so you can warm the food up.
RICKY
Great, I really appreciate your help George, I really do.
GEORGE
Nope, don't mention it. Amy is going to love what you have planned, I know it.
RICKY
Yeah, I hope so.
GEORGE
You're a good man Ricky; I've always told you that.
RICKY
Thanks George. I'm going to run now to get some candles and stuff, and then I'll get John early from school, come pick up the food and stuff from you, run it up there to set up and then come and get Amy.
GEORGE
Alright, I'll see you when you get here and I'll have everything ready for you.

JOHN
I can't wait to see mommy's face.
Ricky smiles.
RICKY
I know me either. She is going to be so surprised.
JOHN
Yeah, but do you think she will be mad at me about lying to her all week?
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
I'm sure she will get over it Buddy, plus you were lying for a good reason.
John laughs.
JOHN
That's true.
Ricky winks at John.
RICKY
It's going to be a good night.
John smiles.
CUT TO:
INT: RICKY'S HOUSE- LIVING ROOM- DAY
Ricky and John are outside in the car. Ricky just called Amy to tell her they were there; she placed her phone on the coffee table in the living room and ran to get their bags. As she ran out the front door towards the car she left her phone without realizing it. We see it buzzing on the coffee table, it reads "LAUREN", but Amy is already gone.
TRANSITION TO:
EXT: RICKYS CAR - DAY
Amy gets in the car and Ricky starts driving off, he grabs her hand.
RICKY
We are going to have a really great night tonight Amy.
Amy smiles at him.
AMY
I'm just happy it's finally here, the anticipation is killing me.
Ricky laughs.
RICKY
Well there is something you have to do for me.
Amy looks confused.
AMY
What?
Ricky pulls out a blindfold from under his lap.
RICKY
When we are about twenty minutes away, you have to put this on, and you can't peek okay?
AMY
Ricky a blindfold really? And for almost a half hour?
Ricky laughs.
JOHN
Mommy you have too!
Amy looks back at John in the back seat and smiles.
AMY
Okay, okay!
Ricky looks at John in the rearview mirror and smiles.
