Dating 101: How and Where to Find Love
Dating 101
It’s not where you are from, but where you are going that matters.
Men may be from Mars and women from Venus, yet, we all need love. Notice that I didn’t say ‘would like,’ or ‘are hoping for,’ no, I used the verb ‘need’ and I meant it! At the end of our day or at the end of our lives, if we seriously analyzed our actions and the motives behind them, most of us would agree all we really wanted was to love and be loved. Since we are among boomers, I like to think we’ve reached the stage in life where we can say, without apologies, that if we aren’t in a relationship, we’d like to be in one. Period. And we deserve it!
Easier said than done, right? I’m not going to tell you that it’s easy, but I am going to tell you that it’s possible—if you are willing to adjust your attitude. Let me explain. As we grow older, we change our eating habits, our sleeping patterns, the way we dress, our exercise routine, and especially as women, we switch health and beauty products. So why are we not changing the way we pursue relationships? I’m here to tell you it is time to do just that.
Like everything else, start small and build on your successes. Certainly you would never go out and purchase a whole case of new products without trying a sample first. Well, here is your sample for adjusting your attitude. If a man about the right age catches your attention, go talk to him. No rolling your eyes, no smirking, no ifs, ands or buts, this is your free sample. I’m not telling you to ask the man out; I’m not telling you not to ask him out, either. I would be content if you just talk to him, for now.
Let’s pretend you are walking down Rodeo Drive and you see a fabulous bag in a store window. Strangely, the shop doesn’t have a designer name, actually it doesn’t have a name or a logo at all, so you have no idea if the bag is affordable, or you’d need to mortgage your house to buy it. Heck, come to think of it, you don’t even know if it’s for sale. But it’s calling your name, oh, how it would complement your summer wardrobe! You breathe deep and hesitantly push open the door, you are now inside the store, closer to the object of your desire, and you politely ask the salesperson if you could see this dream bag up close; “Oh, I would happily show it to you,” smiles the saleslady, “however, it is not for sale; it is part of a raffle to feed the hungry. Would you like to buy a ticket? They are $10 each.”
You buy two tickets, and as you walk away, you don’t care that you are not holding the dream bag because you are holding something that may get you that bag at a bargain price. If it doesn’t, well, at least you helped feed the hungry.
That man who catches your eye is your bag and the salesperson. So walk up to that salesperson and ask a simple question, ask the time, or directions, anything easy and pleasant so that person can give you an answer. If you hold the winning ticket, you may end up sitting in a coffee shop talking to the man; if you don’t, remember, you’ve fed the hungry.

Lebanon IN: Good Luck Ritual Leads to Sore Foot
According to many news sources, a woman in Lebanon, Indiana accidentally stabbed herself in the foot during a good luck ritual. Was it a mistake? Yes. Was it embarrassing, probably. Did it hurt? Most definitely. Was it worth a news release? Are you kidding? With the economy, the war and the elections, why should a careless mistake make news on AP, UP, NPR and other media?
Katerine Gunther was completing a gratitude ritual for her good luck in a local cemetery. She intended to drive her sword into the ground to complete the ritual; she missed the ground and found her foot. Friends took her to the local hospital, where she was treated.
“It's like all you can do is laugh at it now, all you can do when something like this happens is make the best out of it," Gunther said from her hospital room. "It wasn't the first time I performed the ritual, but it was the first time I put a sword through my foot.”
WTHR-TV of Indianapolis, IN reported that the Boone County prosecutors were reviewing evidence collected by police to determine if Katherine and her friends should face any charges in connection with the stabbing. Why? It was an accident. Gunther did it to herself. Other than snickering at the situation of the good luck ritual gone bad, why is the law involved at all? Is the bigotry on the part of the WTHR, the prosecutors or a combination of the two?
AP reported that no charges were filed, but that police warned the group that being in the cemetery after the posted hours was considered trespassing. The article further explained, “Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.” A simply, yet reasonable description.
Two questions remain: Why all the coverage of a simple oops, when there is religious bigotry happening in the military as the Christians continue attempting to force their religion down others throats? Why the difference in the content between the local and national stories? Could the later be the actual story? What do you think?

Theresa Chaze: Author, Publisher, Video Producer, Wiccan Priestess
Theresa Chaze has been described as the woman who plays with dragons, especially the dragons of the mind. She flies her readers to magical realms and others worlds on the wings of her dragon spirit. An Ordained Minister of the Universal Life Church and Wiccan Priestess, Theresa Chaze's work is based on her philosophy that all peoples can live together in peace as long as we come from respect, not only for ourselves but those who follow different paths or beliefs. Her work has been compared to Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey with an adult version of Harry Potter mixed in. However, her non-fiction focuses on civil rights, ethical animal treatment, and responsible environmental management, which includes rapidly moving away from fossil fuels into alternatives.
Her resume is as diverse as her interests. On the mundane level, she graduated from Michigan State University with Bachelor Degrees in English and Video Production; after which she worked for over six years at local TV stations as a writer, producer, director and all around tech.
On a more spiritual level, she is a Tarot Reader and a Reiki Healer. She is a natural born intuitive and empath with an instinctive connection to animals and nature spirits. Through her maternal lineage, she is able to not only sense those who have crossed over, but she can also communicate with them. In the summer of 1981, she initiated on the Wiccan path. Samhain of 1997, she fully dedicated to the path of the Goddess. February, 2007 she became an Ordained Minster of the Universal Life Church.
Her major works so far include the first two novels of the Dragon Clan Trilogy, Awakening the Dragon and Dragon Domain, Nict For Ure Selfe (Not For Ourselves) and a free fantasy ebook called, Sisters, Mother, Daughters. Her Book of Shadows, Out of the Shadows and Into the Light and From Blank Page to Book Shelves are available on her website (www.theresachaze.com) and through the Amazon Kindle Program. Her screenplay, Never Can Say Good-bye, won 2006 the Gloria Film Festival.
To help other authors avoid the pitfalls she encountered, she created Valkyrie Publishing. As a consultant, she creates covers and prepares books for the typesetter. As a publicist, she writes SEO press releases and produces book trailers, which she is also wiling to distribute. To see examples of the book trailer she has already produced for authors, publishers and PR firms go to http://www.youtube.com/user/Tirgana.

Alternative Days of Our Lives Storylines--Part 22
INT: STEPHANO’S HOSPITAL ROOM: MID AFTERNOON
Stephano lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling. The camera moves into a close up.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S STAGE: TIMELESS
Stephano searches the auditorium for a door. There isn’t one. Yet he refuses to give up. The woman’s voice laughs at him. Stephano looks around.
STEPHANO
You can’t frighten me.
WOMAN
Can’t I.
Suspended in the darkness above the stage, the scene at Collin and Lauren’s shop replays, only it freezes as Lexi is being choked.
STEPHANO
Lexi!
WOMAN
Your daughter
(The image fades)
will soon join mine.
STEPHANO
You murdered her!
WOMAN
(EJ’s image at the Pub appears)
Your son will be next.
STEPHANO
You stupid bitch! She’s still alive. I would never kill my own daughter!
WOMAN
If that is true, where is she?
STEPHANO
Will soon join--you didn’t kill her! You couldn’t. Celeste stopped you. Just like before. She’ll never let you hurt her daughter!
WOMAN
She won’t be able to stop me. Every moment I become stronger. When I’m ready, I will take their lives. And there is nothing you can do but watch it happen.
STEPHANO
I’ll find a way out of here!
WOMAN
Give me proof my daughter is still alive and I will leave them in peace.
STEPHANO
Never! I won’t give you the satisfaction.
WOMAN
Then you will watch your children die.
The woman leaves. Stephano stares at the images of his children.
STEPHANO
That bitch won't beat me. Do you hear me! I will get out of here. I will stop you!
(To himself)
There is a door. If she can get in, I can get out. I just need to focus.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO'S HOSPITAL ROOM: MID DAY
Suddenly he can see his hospital room.
STEPHANO
Focus. I am a DiMera.
His foot twitches.
Good. A start.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO'S STAGE: TIMELESS
Stephano is once again on stage. In the back of the house, a door appears. Stephano laughs
STEPHANO
I knew there was a way out.
He struggles against an unseen force to get to the door.
CUT
INT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
Chloe, Lucas and Nicole have finished their lunch and their meeting. Nicole has already left. Chloe is on the phone with Philip.
CHLOE
It’s where? What do you mean look out the window?
Chloe walks to the window and waves. She turns to Lucas.
Philip, has found us an office
LUCAS
Where?
Chloe points out the window. Philip is standing out side an office across the way, waving.
Wow! That was fast.
CHLOE
He is determined.
LUCAS
Let’s go look at our new home away from home.
CHLOE
(To Philip)
We’ll be right there.
She hangs up.
Remember I have to be at rehearsal in an hour.
In the background, the Pub phone rings. Caroline answers and talks, but her voice doesn’t carry across the room.
LUCAS
(Walking toward the door)
I heard about the gig. Congratulation!
CHLOE
(Following)
Thanks.
LUCAS
(Walking out the door)
Are you going to miss the big crowds?
CHLOE
No. I don’t think so. I love opera, but I don’t miss the drama. If you know what I mean.
CAROLINE
(Yells across the room and holds up the phone)
Lucas!
LUCAS
(Stops)
Tell Philip, I’ll be right there.
CHLOE
(Kissing his cheek)
Thanks
LUCAS
What was that for?
CHLOE
For being such a good referee.
She continues across the street. Lucas closes the door and goes to the bar.
LUCAS
For me?
CAROLINE
Sami. She has been trying to reach you.
LUCAS
I forgot my phone in the car.
CAROLINE
It sounds important.
LUCAS
Sami. What’s wrong? I’m fine. I forgot my phone in the car. Mickey’s? Was there a problem with the annulment? That’s great. Sami you sound strange. No I can’t right now. Philip is showing Chloe and me our new office. It’s in an office across the square from the Pub. I hate surprises. Just tell me. Okay. I’ll see you soon.
CAROLINE
What was that all about?
LUCAS
I don’t know. She was sure excited about something.
CAROLINE
A good excited or bad excited.
LUCAS
I’m not sure. She has something to tell me that can’t wait. If she comes in, tell her were in the empty office kitty-corner from here.
CAROLINE
I will. Lucas, it is a good thing you are doing.
LUCAS
It sure is. I finally feel like I’m doing something important.
Lucas walks toward the door. He opens the door.
CUT
EXT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
Lucas steps out of the pub and walks to the sidewalk. Half way across the square, a burly clean-shaven man with a brush cut walks up and steps in front of him. Lucas tries to walk around him. The man grabs his shoulder.
MAN
(Threatening)
Keep your mouth shut, inmate. Or that pretty little lady won’t be so pretty and you’ll be dead.
Lucas tries to yank his arm free; the man punches him in the ribs. Lucas drops to his knees.
PHILIP
(Running across the square)
LUCAS!
The man quickly marches in to the park, making sure his back remains to Philip. Philip and Chloe run to Lucas. Philip starts to go after the man. Lucas stops him. Blood trickles out of his nose.
PHILIP
Who was that?
LUCAS
Call Roman.
Philip helps Lucas stand. Lucas is unsteady on his feet and in a great deal of pain.
CHLOE
You’re bleeding!
LUCAS
(Pulling back his hand, it’s covered in blood.
Philip get me to the hospital. He just finished breaking my ribs.
PHILIP
What’s going on?
LUCAS
(Dizzy)
Chloe, Sami will be here in a few minute with the twins.
CHLOE
I’ll wait for her.
LUCAS
Philip. Take care of Chloe. They think--
PHILIP
Who?
CHLOE
(Pulling out her phone)
I’m calling an ambulance.
LUCAS
Philip--they saw Chloe...with me. She’s not safe.
Lucas passes out.

Alternative Days of Our Lives Storyline--Part 21
EXT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
EJ and Ava walk out of the park to the Pub.
EJ
(Pointing at the crowd)
I wonder what's happening.
AVA
I don't know. Maybe someone inside knows.
EJ
Are you sure you want to eat here?
AVA
(Opening the door)
Scared?
EJ
Of being poisoned. Most definitely.
AVA
(Going in)
Who wants to live forever?
EJ
(Reluctantly following)
To the end of the day would be nice.
INT: BRADY PUB: MID DAY
Ava is walking towards a table. EJ sees Lucas, Chloe and Nicole in the corner.
EJ
Great.
(Walking to Ava)
We need to leave.
AVA
Why?
EJ
Lucas is here.
AVA
So what. EJ, I'm hungry.
EJ
I'm not in the mood for a scene. No doubt, Samantha has already told him.
AVA
If she had, do you think he would be here? He'd either be celebrating with Sami or trying to find you. He doesn't look like he is in a rush to do either. The best defense is a good offense. Let's find out.
EJ
How?
AVA
I'll go ask him.
(Teasing)
Don' t worry I'll protect you.
Ava walks over to the corner booth.
This is an interesting group.
NICOLE
Ava. I saw you and EJ walk in. He doesn't look like a happy camper.
AVA
Tough morning. But Lucas, you know that.
LUCAS
Sami took care of the annulment.
(Raising his voice so EJ can hear)
He's a free man now.
EJ
(Walking over)
No need to shout. I'm well aware of my marital status. As is everyone else? Lucas, what are you doing hiding in the corner with these two beautiful women? Aren't you afraid Sami will snap your leash to heel?
LUCAS
Unlike you, I'm trust worthy.
CHLOE
Philip and I came with an idea how to help the returning vets. The Kiriakis Foundation is going to sponsor a national fund raising event. We're the local committee.
AVA
It's a great idea. What kind of event are you planning?
NICOLE
I wanted a gala with Champagne and gowns.
EJ
Sounds wonderful.
NICOLE
I was out voted.
LUCAS
It' going to happen on a smaller scale.
CHLOE
The main event is going to be a family friendly fair. With games and booths.
EJ
How provincial.
NICOLE
That’s what I thought.
LUCAS
I would expect you to say that. Being such a good family man that you are.
EJ
I was a good father to the twins.
AVA
(Interceding)
I have an idea for another event. A race.
NICOLE
Race.
AVA
Salem has a track and three great drivers.
EJ
A track yes. But none of us race any more. Nor do we have cars.
AVA
I could rent the cars. It could be my contribution.
EJ
Besides, you need more than three participates.
NICOLE
Could you invite some of your old friends from the good old days?
LUCAS
EJ has friends?
AVA
(Snarky)
Yes, he does.
CHLOE
To much caffeine?
NICOLE
I like it!
LUCAS
Me too. But instead race cars, go karts.
NICOLE
For kids?
EJ
Super karts can go over 150 miles per hour.
LUCAS
You’re thinking too big.
EJ
You think too small.
LUCAS
With the regular karts, we could auction off chances to race against three professional racers.
CHLOE
I love it! Do you think Stephanie and Max would do it?
NICOLE
I don’t know if it would be much of a race. Aren’t they involved?
EJ
(To Lucas)
No doubt, the fix will be in for you to win a spot.
LUCAS
Me no. I already have something lined up.
CHLOE
Which he won’t tell us.
Caroline walks over with their lunch order.
Caroline is Max around.
CAROLINE
He’ll be in later.
NICOLE
Ava came up with the idea to have a race. Do you think Max and Stephanie would be interested in driving Go Karts?
CAROLINE
Go Karts. I’m sure they would like to help. But Go Karts?
EJ
Lucas is too scared to drive the real thing.
LUCAS
I said I already have a job.
NICOLE
The committee doesn’t count. Chloe’s singing. I haven’t decided yet.
LUCAS
It’s going to be the most popular booth of the fair.
CAROLINE
What?
EJ
He’s faking.
LUCAS
Fine. Grandma Alice is teaching me her donut recipe. Julie and I are going to sell them.
CAROLINE
Alice is teaching you her donut recipe.
CHLOE
Alice Horton‘s donuts?
LUCAS
Family recipe.
NICOLE
Those overly rich, highly fattening thigh-expanding donuts? Do you need any help? I’m available.
LUCAS
I told you it was good.
AVA
A donut is a donut.
EJ
Not these.
CAROLINE
Lucas, you know that you have always been my favorite of all Sami’s husbands.
LUCAS
I swore not to tell anyone.
NICOLE
Ava, these things are so sinful, they are better than sex.
AVA
That doesn’t say much for your love life.
LUCAS
(To EJ)
I’d be willing to make you one of Alice’s special chocolate donut. Just to show there is no hard feelings.
CAROLINE
Lucas! Be good.
EJ
I like chocolate donuts.
The door opens. Abe and Celeste help Lexie inside.
Nicole
Me too.
CAROLINE
(Warning)
Lucas
LUCAS
I wouldn’t actually do it. I’d think about. But I wouldn’t do it.
ABE
Caroline. Could you get Lexie some tea?
CAROLINE
What’s wrong? Lexie, are you okay?
LEXIE
(Shaken)
I’ll be fine. Really. You don’t have to fuss.
CELESTE
(Taking EJ aside)
EJ, she tried to kill Lexie.
Ava discreetly listens.
EJ
Lexie didn’t do anything to her. It was father.
CELESTE
It doesn’t matter. Lexie also tried to keep a mother from her child.
EJ
What?
CELESTE
I should have known. The curse was on those who followed Stephano’s bloodline. It more than just being Stephano’s daughter. She tried to steal Bo and Hope’s son. She followed his example. That’s why she didn’t try to hurt Theo. He is protected by his innocence.
EJ
This is crazy. The dead can’t kill.
CELESTE
They can and they do. I will do whatever is necessary to protect my daughter. Elvis, you’d be wise to watch yourself. After all you’ve done, no one will do the same for you.
AVA
I will. I’ll protect EJ.
CELESTE
If you try to protect him--you will die with him.
CUT
INT: SALEM POLICE STATION: EARLY AFTERNOON
Hope is doing research on the computer and taking note on the paperwork in a file.
ROMAN
The warehouse break ins?
HOPE
They're driving me nuts. They have nothing in common except they are empty. The owners are different. The renters are different. Three were north of town. Two were east. Four were near the docks.
ROMAN
How about employees?
HOPE
Nada. Three different rental agents. The rest are rented through the owners.
ROMAN
I don't get it. They don't take anything. They don't break anything. In most cases, it's cleaner than before they broke in.
HOPE
(Going to get a cup of coffee)
That's what's so frustrating. They aren't leaving any evidence behind.
BO
(Walking in)
Who isn't leaving any evidence behind?
ROMAN
Little Brother. Or should I say Councilman Brady? Did you file paper work? Or did you chicken out?
BO
I didn't have time.
HOPE
He chickened out. Bo, we talked about it last night.
BO
I changed my mind.
ROMAN
Why? Not only are you more than qualified, but you have the passion to make the changes. Do you want me to go with you and hold your hand to the big bad clerk won't scare you again.
BO
I'd have to wear a suit and tie.
HOPE
You look very handsome in a suit and tie.
BO
No I don't.
Abe walks in; he head directly to his office.
ROMAN
Yes, you do. Abe, you and I talking about it just yesterday?
ABE
(Distracted)
What? Yes, what ever.
ROMAN
What's up partner?
ABE
Lexie was attacked.
BO
What? Where?
HOPE
Is she okay?
ROMAN
Can she describe who it was?
ABE
A dark haired petite woman who came out of the glass in a shop door.
HOPE
You mean she came through the door?
ABE
No. Out of the glass. I got there a few minutes after it happened. The door had been ripped to shreds, but the glass was piled in a straight line on the floor. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. A woman was coming down the stairs when it happened. She told me that door just exploded. A few seconds later, something grabbed Lexie by the throat. Collin said a prayer to St Michael and it released Lexie. I'm beginning to believe Celeste is right.
ROMAN
An evil spirit? Come on, Abe. There has to be a better explanation.
BO
Of course there has to be.
HOPE
After all the things Stephano has done--I wouldn't doubt if a spirit could curse the living, Stephano would have deserved it.
ROMAN
Without a doubt. But I still can't--no, I won't believe it is possible until I see it.
BO
I second.
HOPE
Be careful what you wish for.
ABE
What were we talking about yesterday?
ROMAN
Bo is thinking about running for councilman.
BO
It's their idea.
ROMAN
And he's afraid he doesn't look good enough in a suit.
ABE
You’re adorable. But you have to give me a better reason to vote for you.
BO
See.
HOPE
Bo, want to made the zoning changes to make it easier for people make their homes green.
ABE
What's stopping them? You have solar panels on your home.
BO
There is a 33 foot wind turbine available that will supply power in as little as 7 mph wind.
ABE
That's great. What's the problem?
BO
It's against the zoning ordinances. It’s too tall.
ABE
A two story house is taller.
BO
My point exactly.
ROMAN
So what are you going to do about?
The threesome stare at Bo, waiting.
BO
I’ll be back.
HOPE
You’re going to do it?
ROMAN
He’ll do it.
BO
I’ll do it. But you three have just been drafted as my campaign staff. And you,
(Kissing her)
Fancy Face are my manager.
ROMAN
Wasn’t she always?
HOPE
Shush.
BO
I better go before I change my mind.
ROMAN
Just to be sure. I’ll drive you.
BO
(Walking toward the door)
I don’t need you to hold my hand.
ROMAN
(Following)
I won’t be holding your hand. I’m be guarding the door in case you try to bolt.
Bo and Roman leave.
HOPE
Abe, how is Lexie?
ABE
She’s shaken and scared. Celeste took her home and is going to stay with her.
HOPE
Does Celeste know who the spirit is?
ABE
I’m certain of it. But she and her friends are too scared to name her. Saying the name is suppose to draw them to you.
HOPE
I remember reading that somewhere. It wonder who it is. Stephano has tormented so many.
ABE
Including members of his own family.
HOPE
It’s been over twenty years. I still remember how Andre murder Renee.
ABE
I remember Tony was devastated.
HOPE
I don’t think he ever got over loosing her.
CUT
INT: CITY CLERK’S OFFICE: EARLY AFTERNOON
Bo and Roman walk in. There is a short line at the counter; they walk to the back of the line. There are already two people in line. The clerk is a classical beautiful blonde (who looks remarkably like Jacqueline Courtney). Her hair is pulled back in a single braid, except for a few strands that have escaped.
BO
The line is too long.
ROMAN
Two people.
BO
I have paperwork to do.
ROMAN
So being green isn’t important enough to you to wait a few minutes?
BO
Of course it’s important.
The clerk goes on to the next customer. Two more people join the end of the line behind them.
ROMAN
So step up to the plate.
BO
Fine. I’ll pick up the paperwork and fill it out at home.
ROMAN
No.
BO
No, what?
ROMAN
I know you, little brother. You’ll find reasons to put it off until it’s too late.
BO
I don’t have my checkbook.
ROMAN
I have mine. You can pay me back.
BO
Thanks a lot.
The person walks away from the counter.
ROMAN
You’re welcome. Your turn.
BO
(Reluctantly he walks to the counter)
I would like paper work
ROMAN
(Stepping up beside him)
Hello, pretty lady. My little brother here would like to become the next councilman. Can you please give him the paperwork he needs to fill out?
ALYESSA
(Opening the file cabinet and take the forms out)
You’re Roman Brady.
ROMAN
Yes. I am. You have the advantage.
ALYESSA
(Giving the forms to Bo)
You can bring them back if you like or use the counter over there.
ROMAN
He’ll fill them out her. I haven’t seen you before.
ALYESSA
I’m just moved back to town.
ROMAN
(To Bo)
Don’t you have some paperwork to fill out? Be quick about it. There are people waiting on you. I’ll keep your place.
(Turning back to Alyessa)
You lived her before.
Annoyed Bo goes to fill out the paperwork.
ALYESSA
I was born here. My family moved away when I was a senior in high school. But that was a long time ago.
ROMAN
Not that long ago.
ALYESSA
You really don’t remember me?
ROMAN
I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t.
CUSTOMER
(From behind)
Is this going to take much longer?
ROMAN
He’s nearly done.
ALYESSA
You honestly don’t remember the girl who gave you the black eye.
ROMAN
(Surprised)
Alyessa? Alyessa Braddock? Is that really you? Now I’m really embarrassed.
Bo starts walking back.
You’ve changed.
ALYESSA
I still have a good right hook.
ROMAN
You did even back then.
ALYESSA
Difference is now I’m a third degree black belt in Tao Kwon Do.
ROMAN
That is something that I always wanted to learn.
BO
(To the people waiting)
Sorry about the wait. I have a pig head brother.
(To Alyessa)
Thanks. I made the check out to the city.
ALYESSA
(Taking the forms and stamping them)
Mr. Brady, you are now in the race. Good luck.
(Writing a note and giving it to Roman)
If you’re not afraid of getting another black eye. I teach class here Tuesdays and Thursday evening 7-10.
ROMAN
(Tucking the stray hair back behind her ear)
I look forward to it.
(Walking away)
Let’s get back to work.
BO
When did you have a black eye?
ROMAN
Never mind. I thought you said you didn’t have your checkbook?
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S HOSPITAL ROOM: MID AFTERNOON
Stephano lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling. The camera moves into a close up.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S STAGE: TIMELESS
Stephano searches the auditorium for a door. There isn’t one. Yet he refuses to give up. The woman’s voice laughs at him. Stephano looks around.
STEPHANO
You can’t frighten me.
WOMAN
Can’t I.
Suspended in the darkness above the stage, the scene at Collin and Lauren’s shop replays, only it freezes as Lexi is being choked.
STEPHANO
Lexi!
WOMAN
Your daughter
(The image fades)
will soon join mine.
STEPHANO
You murdered her!
WOMAN
(EJ’s image at the Pub appears)
Your son will be next.
STEPHANO
You stupid bitch! She’s still alive. I would never kill my own daughter!
WOMAN
If that is true, where is she?
STEPHANO
Will soon join--you didn’t kill her! You couldn’t. Celeste stopped you. Just like before. She’ll never let you hurt her daughter!
WOMAN
She won’t be able to stop me. Every moment I become stronger. When I’m ready, I will take their lives. And there is nothing you can do but watch it happen.
STEPHANO
I’ll find a way out of here!
WOMAN
Give me proof my daughter is still alive and I will leave them in peace.
STEPHANO
Never! I won’t give you the satisfaction.
WOMAN
Then you will watch your children die.

You’re adorable. But you have to give me a better reason to vote for you.
BO
See.
HOPE
Bo, want to made the zoning changes to make it easier for people make their homes green.
ABE
What's stopping them? You have solar panels on your home.
BO
There is a 33 foot wind turbine available that will supply power in as little as 7 mph wind.
ABE
That's great. What's the problem?
BO
It's against the zoning ordinances. It’s too tall.
ABE
A two story house is taller.
BO
My point exactly.
ROMAN
So what are you going to do about?
The threesome stare at Bo, waiting.
BO
I’ll be back.
HOPE
You’re going to do it?
ROMAN
He’ll do it.
BO
I’ll do it. But you three have just been drafted as my campaign staff. And you,
(Kissing her)
Fancy Face are my manager.
ROMAN
Wasn’t she always?
HOPE
Shush.
BO
I better go before I change my mind.
ROMAN
Just to be sure. I’ll drive you.
BO
(Walking toward the door)
I don’t need you to hold my hand.
ROMAN
(Following)
I won’t be holding your hand. I’m be guarding the door in case you try to bolt.
Bo and Roman leave.
HOPE
Abe, how is Lexie?
ABE
She’s shaken and scared. Celeste took her home and is going to stay with her.
HOPE
Does Celeste know who the spirit is?
ABE
I’m certain of it. But she and her friends are too scared to name her. Saying the name is suppose to draw them to you.
HOPE
I remember reading that somewhere. It wonder who it is. Stephano has tormented so many.
ABE
Including members of his own family.
HOPE
It’s been over twenty years. I still remember how Andre murder Renee.
ABE
I remember Tony was devastated.
HOPE
I don’t think he ever got over loosing her.
CUT
INT: CITY CLERK’S OFFICE: EARLY AFTERNOON
Bo and Roman walk in. There is a short line at the counter; they walk to the back of the line. There are already two people in line. The clerk is a classical beautiful blonde (who looks remarkably like Jacqueline Courtney). Her hair is pulled back in a single braid, except for a few strands that have escaped.
BO
The line is too long.
ROMAN
Two people.
BO
I have paperwork to do.
ROMAN
So being green isn’t important enough to you to wait a few minutes?
BO
Of course it’s important.
The clerk goes on to the next customer. Two more people join the end of the line behind them.
ROMAN
So step up to the plate.
BO
Fine. I’ll pick up the paperwork and fill it out at home.
ROMAN
No.
BO
No, what?
ROMAN
I know you, little brother. You’ll find reasons to put it off until it’s too late.
BO
I don’t have my checkbook.
ROMAN
I have mine. You can pay me back.
BO
Thanks a lot.
The person walks away from the counter.
ROMAN
You’re welcome. Your turn.
BO
(Reluctantly he walks to the counter)
I would like paper work
ROMAN
(Stepping up beside him)
Hello, pretty lady. My little brother here would like to become the next councilman. Can you please give him the paperwork he needs to fill out?
ALYESSA
(Opening the file cabinet and take the forms out)
You’re Roman Brady.
ROMAN
Yes. I am. You have the advantage.
ALYESSA
(Giving the forms to Bo)
You can bring them back if you like or use the counter over there.
ROMAN
He’ll fill them out her. I haven’t seen you before.
ALYESSA
I’m just moved back to town.
ROMAN
(To Bo)
Don’t you have some paperwork to fill out? Be quick about it. There are people waiting on you. I’ll keep your place.
(Turning back to Alyessa)
You lived her before.
Annoyed Bo goes to fill out the paperwork.
ALYESSA
I was born here. My family moved away when I was a senior in high school. But that was a long time ago.
ROMAN
Not that long ago.
ALYESSA
You really don’t remember me?
ROMAN
I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t.
CUSTOMER
(From behind)
Is this going to take much longer?
ROMAN
He’s nearly done.
ALYESSA
You honestly don’t remember the girl who gave you the black eye.
ROMAN
(Surprised)
Alyessa? Alyessa Braddock? Is that really you? Now I’m really embarrassed.
Bo starts walking back.
You’ve changed.
ALYESSA
I still have a good right hook.
ROMAN
You did even back then.
ALYESSA
Difference is now I’m a third degree black belt in Tao Kwon Do.
ROMAN
That is something that I always wanted to learn.
BO
(To the people waiting)
Sorry about the wait. I have a pig head brother.
(To Alyessa)
Thanks. I made the check out to the city.
ALYESSA
(Taking the forms and stamping them)
Mr. Brady, you are now in the race. Good luck.
(Writing a note and giving it to Roman)
If you’re not afraid of getting another black eye. I teach class here Tuesdays and Thursday evening 7-10.
ROMAN
(Tucking the stray hair back behind her ear)
I look forward to it.
(Walking away)
Let’s get back to work.
BO
When did you have a black eye?
ROMAN
Never mind. I thought you said you didn’t have your checkbook?
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S HOSPITAL ROOM: MID AFTERNOON
Stephano lies in his bed, staring at the ceiling. The camera moves into a close up.
CUT
INT: STEPHANO’S STAGE: TIMELESS
Stephano searches the auditorium for a door. There isn’t one. Yet he refuses to give up. The woman’s voice laughs at him. Stephano looks around.
STEPHANO
You can’t frighten me.
WOMAN
Can’t I.
Suspended in the darkness above the stage, the scene at Collin and Lauren’s shop replays, only it freezes as Lexi is being choked.
STEPHANO
Lexi!
WOMAN
Your daughter
(The image fades)
will soon join mine.
STEPHANO
You murdered her!
WOMAN
(EJ’s image at the Pub appears)
Your son will be next.
STEPHANO
You stupid bitch! She’s still alive. I would never kill my own daughter!
WOMAN
If that is true, where is she?
STEPHANO
Will soon join--you didn’t kill her! You couldn’t. Celeste stopped you. Just like before. She’ll never let you hurt her daughter!
WOMAN
She won’t be able to stop me. Every moment I become stronger. When I’m ready, I will take their lives. And there is nothing you can do but watch it happen.
STEPHANO
I’ll find a way out of here!
WOMAN
Give me proof my daughter is still alive and I will leave them in peace.
STEPHANO
Never! I won’t give you the satisfaction.
WOMAN
Then you will watch your children die.
