(Drake and Josh walk into their room, and sees Nicole on the couch, crying)
Josh:Nicole, what's wrong? What is the problem?
Nicole: Leave me alone, I don't want to talk about it.
Drake: You don't know how to talk to women, let me try. Nicole,(Walks over to her and sits on the couch next to her) what's wrong? Tell me, please.
(Nicole sniffles and turns to face Drake)
Nicole: That was the hospital, my mom just died.
Drake: That's horrible, what happened?
Nicole: They didn't know what was wrong with her, they just couldn't figure it out. That's why I came to stay with you in the first place.
Drake: Where's your dad?
(Josh walkes over and whispers in Drake's ear)
Josh: Just leave that subject alone for awile, let's call mom and dad to see when they will be coming home.
Drake: Do you want to come downstaires for a while, at least until mom and dad get home?
Nicole:No.
Josh: Drake, why don't you go and call mom and dad so I can talk to Nicole for a while.
Drake: Oh, ok, i'll see yoo two later.
(Drake walkes down the steps)
Josh: I know you don't want to talk right now, but tell me, did you really know your mom was in the hospital when you came here?
Nicole: Yes, but I didn't think it would be anything real serious.
Josh: You really should tell Drake about your past.
Nicole:No, don't you remember how long it took me to tell you, and you still don't know everything.
(Pauses for a seconed)
Nicole:Darn it!
Josh: What do you mean I still don't know everything, what have you been keeping from me?
Nicole: (sighs) Call Drake up here, and i'll tell him everything, and fill you in on the parts you still don't know.
Josh: Why don't we go down there, then when mom and dad get home, we'll know it right away.
Nicole: Ok, then.
