Carly walked into her townhouse and threw her purse across the room. She went over to her answering machine and hit "Play."
"Hey Car, it's Eve. Just wondering if you two want to go out with Ian and me tonight. Call me." Carly hit "Save."
"Carly, it's Nikolas. Gia and I want you to come over this weekend, and stay with us."
"Carl, it's Jase...Remember what you told me 15years ago? If you don't, it's okay, but I do.
You told me in 10 years I would thank you for making me go to Robin. Guess what? I'm on my way back to Port Charles. I am staying at the Port Charles Hotel."
Carly hit delete. She made sure the message was deleted and called her husband.
"AJ Quartermaine." he answered.
"Sweetie, it's me. Eve wants to know if we want to go out with her and Ian tonight. Oh, and Nik wants us to stay with them this weekend." Carly said, looking for her stash of chocolate bunnies.
"Yes, we'll go out with Eve and Ian, and yes, we'll stay with Nikolas and Gia. How are Micheal and Hayley?" Aj asked about his son and daughter.
"Neither are home from school. I have to pick Hayley up from cheerleading in 30 minutes, and Micheal is staying with his friend tonight. Hayley is going to go to a friend's house for a party. I got a call from-"
"Jason, right?" AJ asked.
"Yeah, Jason. Remember that night in the rain, long ago?"
Flashback
Carly is walking in the rain through the park. She sits on a bench and sobs.
AJ sees his ex-wife and sits down next to her.
"Carly, what happened?"
"I told Jase to go find Robin, and he did. He left me! Our marriage wasn't great, but we could have---"
Carly says, but stops. She leans her head on AJ's shoulder and cries.
AJ holds her as she does, and takes her to her penthouse.
As she tells AJ what happened, all feelings of anger and hate wash from both of them.
"Yeah, of course I remember. How could I not?" AJ said.
"Well, that's when I realized I never really loved Jason. I just tried to win him from Robin, to show that I could beat the stupid anorexic twig." Carly said.
"Car, only you would say that." AJ smiled. "Anyway, he called, something about 10 years ago."
"So meet him. Bring Hayl and see him. She should know her Uncle Jason."
"I'll call him, and arange to meet somewhere public, and where you can meet us."
"That sounds great. If I leave soon, I can pick up Hayley, ok?"
"Thank you! I need to call Eve and Nik, anyway."
"Ok, see you soon." Carly hung up and dialed Nikolas' number.
"Cassadine Estate."
"May I speak to Nikolas?" Carly asked.
"Just a moment, Mistress Carly." Carly waited for a moment and heard Nikolas pick up the phone.
"Nikolas Cassadine."
"Nik, its me. AJ and I would be delighted to stay with you this weekend. I'm sure Hayley will want to hang out with Gillian, too." Carly said.
"Great. Gia and I are hosting a ball, that's why you are staying..." Nikolas said.
"No way will I help with anything! Especially not decorating!" Carly said.
"Oh, Car, please?" Nikolas whined.
"Fine."
Carly was an interior decorater. She had been working on redecorating the Quartermaine mansion, which was a job that was a great way to get more upscale clintele.
"Car, thank you so much! Its a formal ball, make sure Hayley and Micheal have formal outfits. We know that you do." Nikolas teased.
"I have to go, Nikolas, dear. See you tomorrow." Carly said.
She hung up and went and sat down. She went upstairs to get a dress for the Bacchalina ball. She knew that those balls were traditional Cassadine events, and she wanted to look perfect.
She laid a blck tuxedo out for AJ and started to choose a dress. She chose a light pick spaghetti strapped gown, with silver shoes. She then realized she was doing this just to avoid Jason, so she called the Port Charles Hotel.
"May I speak to Jason Morgan?" she asked.
"Let me send the call to his suite." said the conceirge.
"Jason Morgan." he answered.
"Jase, it's Carly."
"Hello, Carly. How are you?"
"Great. Look, I got your message, and want to meet with you. Can we meet on Monday for lunch? I am going to be out of town this weekend." "Sure. How about the Grille at 8?" "Sounds great. See you Monday." Carly said.
'That wasn't so hard...' she thought.
"Hey Car, it's Eve. Just wondering if you two want to go out with Ian and me tonight. Call me." Carly hit "Save."
"Carly, it's Nikolas. Gia and I want you to come over this weekend, and stay with us."
"Carl, it's Jase...Remember what you told me 15years ago? If you don't, it's okay, but I do.
