Chapter 6: El Fin
Raven: (Yelling out loud) He's cheating on me! (Now speaking in a regular tone) I knew it was too good to be true. I think I'm gonna throw a brick through his car window. I think that is what I'm gonna do.
(Her yelling loud enough for Chelsea, Eddie and DeDe to hear. They all look up at the window. But see nothing. DeDe gets up to see what was moving in the bushes.)
Dee Dee watches Raven strugle to get herself together. Raven has a couple of twigs poking out of her hair.
DeDe: Um... Chelsea. There's a strange girl getting out of your bushes.
Chelsea: What? (She gets up to look.) (She looks then sighs slightly.)
(Eddie still sitting crossing his fingers whispering to himself.)
Eddie: Please don't let it be Raven out there.
Chelsea: Eddie... Your girlfriend is out here.
Eddie: I knew it was too good to be true. (Puts the jewelry box in his front right pocket and gets up and walks over to the window.)
(All standing in the window. Eddie and Chelsea both crossing their arms. Very disappointed looks upon their faces)
(Now watching Raven pick the twigs and leaves out of her hair.)
(Raven turned around to see all three of them staring at her and seeing one very upset Eddie.)
(Chelsea and Eddie step outside and DeDe stays in the house to watch from the window.)
Raven: I can't believe you Eddie!
(Eddie arms still folded. Just starring at her. Not saying anything, just waiting for the right time to speak.)
Raven: Of all the things in the world. You forgot our anniversary. And your cheating on me with my best friend.
Chelsea: Look Rae...
Raven: (Yelling) Let me tell you something, friend. I was there for you girl through thick and thin. And you steal my boyfriend. I thought you were my best friend?
(Eddie puts his thumb and index finger on the bridge of his nose, and puts his other balled up hand under the other elbow. And looks down and closes his eyes, and sighs very deeply.)
Raven: And you buying her jewl...
(Eddie walks up to Raven and digs in his pocket and pulls out the jewelry box. Confused look on Raven's face.)
(He opens the box. She sees the gift. It's a 24k gold heart shaped locket necklace. On top of the heart it has engraved on it. She reads aloud... )
Raven: Eddie loves Raven 4-Ever.
Raven: OH MY GOODNESS!!!
(Eddie smiles slightly.)
Raven: (Now squealing) Is this really for me?
Eddie: It's all you baby.
Raven: I thought you forgot?
Eddie: I would never forget. I just acted like that this morning because I figured that you would be alittle mad, and then you wouldn't be dissappointed by the time I took you out for dinner. I made reservactions for us at Shae Jospehine's.
Raven: Oh... Eddie. I didn't mean to be such a jerk. Oh... It's so beautiful, Eddie!
(She kisses him)
Eddie: I would have given it to you this morning but Chelsea's aunt was busy with other clients. So I made Chelsea promise not to tell you about it. She's been holding it in for about a month now.
Raven: Uh... You guys are too good.
Eddie: So I had to come here to meet her aunt and pick up your anniversary surprise. Chelsea's Aunt is a jewler and she gave me a special deal.
Raven: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to spy on you. And say what I just said. I was just so upset about this morning.
Eddie: Look Rae... It's okay.
(She looks at the golden heart locket. Picks it up and opens it. It's a picture of her and Eddie in the photo booth when they went to the carnival about 3 weeks ago.)
Eddie: I got this heart shaped locket because you've always had my heart. You've had my heart every since we first met when were little kids Rae.
Raven: Oh.
(She kisses him again)
Raven: That's is so so sweet.
(He takes the necklace and puts it on her.) (Another kiss)
Raven: Hold on Eddie.
(Raven walks up to Chelsea)
Raven: Chelsea... I'm so sorry girl. (Gives her a hug.) Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?
Chelsea: Yes I do. But listen Rae, you should know that I would never steal your boyfriend. We're best friends, right? Besides... (She grabs her by the wrist. And drags her over to Eddie and grabs his wrist and says...)
Chelsea: you two were meant for each other. You guys are the perfect match.(She put's their hands together) Plus everybody at school can see it. And I talked to your Dad and your little brother about it way before you two started going out, and they both agree, you two do belong together. It was just you two who didn't see it. And now you do... (Chelsea backs away)
(Eddie and Raven both look at each other. Give each other another kiss.)
Chelsea: Now will you two get out of here!!! You both still have an anniversary to celebrate.
Eddie: Thanks Chels. (Waves to Chelseas Aunt thanking her again)
Raven: Thanks Chels... for not telling me about the surprise.
Chelsea: Now go on you two.
They go off to Eddies car. He opens her passenger side door. And they ride off together. With Chelsea looking on...
Chelsea: (Yelling) Have fun you guys!!!
Riding along in Eddie's car, Raven has a vision.
vision
Raven is lying in a hospital bed asleep. (She's wearing the traditional hospital patient outfit and she's wearing her 3 month anniversery locket that Eddie gave her, from awhile back.) Eddie is sitting in a chair cradling something really small wrapped in a blue cloth. Raven wakes up from long well deserved rest. Eddie gets up walks over to the hospital bed, and says...
Eddie: Hey mom. (Raven grins a smile at Eddie)
Raven gives a faint. "Hey."
He starts to lean in for a kiss but was interupted by a Hospital nurse who walks in to check on Raven.
Nurse: Mr & Mrs.Thomas? Have you thought of a name for your baby?
Raven looks up at Eddie. She quickly remembers her old vision from the night of her room warming party 6 years ago, before Eddie and Raven kissed for the first time.
Raven: Yes... My baby's name is Eddie Jr.

And from that moment on, Raven knew who she would be spending the rest of her life with.
The End...
