DEVERAUX HOUSE
Abby was in her room on her computer. She was just going to check Facebook and got a major shock.
ABBY: Oh my god!
Her profile was completely different than it had been the last time she'd seen it. The picture was of her and E.J. kissing. Her name had even been changed to Abigail DivaHo.
ABBY: Oh god!
She scrolled down and saw that she had, apparently, just posted something moments ago. However, she knew that she couldn't possibly have posted it, as she wasn't even by her computer a few moments ago. The post read: "I'm a 20-something year old girl looking for temporary companionship. Married, engaged or single, it doesn't matter to me. Anybody's fair game. I especially love British accents and having at least two or more men in my life at a time so that I can string them along and make a fool out of their wives/fiancées. If you're worried about people finding out, don't. I'm treated like a saint by my whole community, in fact I'm almost a goddess who can do no wrong to them, so nobody will ever think it's me. Contact me at [e-mail]"
Abby quickly closed that tab and was in tears. Who would do something like that? Who would hack into her Facebook page and do all of that? Of course, if she were thinking, she could have figured it out right away.

DIMERA MANSION
Stan was using the computer to post on Abby's page. He chuckled to himself.
STAN: Well, Abby, what should we let the world see next?
He thought for a moment.
STAN: Oh, I know.
He typed in something.
STAN: Then add the link.
A few more clicks on the keyboard.
STAN: And what should we name this?
He thought for a moment and began typing.
STAN: "My Greatest Conquest Yet".
Stan clicked his mouse.
STAN: There we go. Posted.
What Stan had posted on Abby's Facebook was a video of one of the nights Abby and E.J. had been together.

CLUB TBD
BEN: Jordan, don't do this.
JORDAN: Oh, it's too late to stop it now, baby brother. Tammy Sue is back. And there's gonna be hell to pay for one Miss Kate Roberts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to be going.
Jordan walked away.
BEN: This is not good.

PARK
Snow had come early to Salem. This was one of the earliest snowfalls that anybody could remember. As Teresa had nowhere to go, no job, and now apartment, she just stumbled around the park. The effects of the drugs were working on her. Soon, she fell right into a snow bank and just laid there. She was there for a while when a figure walked up to her. This person put a hand on her neck to feel for a pulse. There was one, but it was faint. This person picked Teresa up in their arms and carried her away.

[fluffysmom]

Wait until Abby sees the video that Stan posted.

Teresa needs some serious help.

[gapeach]

Am loving Stan in this story!!!

Chapter 33

HOUSE
When Teresa woke up, she felt sick. She was slightly cold, even though she had a warm blanket around her. She very slowly stood up. She noticed that she was wearing different clothes than she had been earlier. She was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. The setting looked unfamiliar to her. Slowly, she walked out of the bedroom and down a hallway. When she got to the kitchen, she saw a familar face.
TERESA: Anne? Is that you?
ANNE: Well, it ain't Mary Poppins.
Teresa slid herself into a chair across from Anne.
TERESA: What are you doing here? Where is here?
ANNE: I live here. This is my house.
Teresa looked around the room.
ANNE: If you're looking for your clothes, they're in the wash. They were pretty rank when I found you.
TERESA: Found me?
ANNE: Yep. You were frozen in the snow like a creamsicle.
Teresa continued looking around the room.
TERESA: Where's the rest of my stuff?
ANNE: What stuff?
TERESA: Don't play around, Anne. Just tell me where my stuff is.
ANNE: You mean the bag with the dragon and the hypodermics? That stuff?
Teresa nodded. Though she was cold, she was sweating a bit. The cravings had started again.
TERESA: Yeah, that stuff. Where is it?
ANNE: I flushed it.
TERESA: You what?
ANNE: It's with the fishes. I sent it down the toilet.
Teresa tried, unsuccessfully, to stand up.
TERESA: You had no right to do that. That's my stuff. Give it back to me.
ANNE: It's gone.
TERESA: Give it back to me!
Anne stood up.
ANNE: Come with me.
TERESA: No. Not until you give me back my stuff. I need that stuff, Anne.
Anne picked Teresa up, walked her into the bathroom, and stood her in front of the mirror.
ANNE: Look at yourself. Take a look at yourself.
Teresa tried to turn away, but Anne made her look at her reflection. After a minute, Teresa began to cry, partly out of shame for how far this addiction had gone, and partly because of the pain from her heroin cravings. Anne picked Teresa up and carried her into the bedroom. She rubbed Teresa's back.
ANNE: Ssh. It's okay. It's okay. Mama Anne's here. We're gonna get through this.
TERESA (crying): Anne...
ANNE: I'm gonna help you through this.
TERESA (crying): Why are you doing this to me?
ANNE: Because, somebody helped me once, a long time ago. And I always pay what I owe.

BRADY PUB
Kayla was sitting at a table when the door opened and Kimberly walked in.
KIMBERLY: Hi.
KAYLA: Hey! Good to see you!
KIMBERLY: You too.
After the two exchanged a warm hug, they sat down.
KIMBERLY: Have you heard from her at all?
KAYLA: Not since I had to fire her. Believe me, Kimber, it's not something I wanted to do.
KIMBERLY: I know. I understand. You did what you had to for the hospital.
KAYLA: What happened to her? I remember when she was in great school, she was a great kid.
KIMBERLY: I know. Shane and I talk about that a lot.
KAYLA: Do you have any idea what may have caused this?
KIMBERLY: I have a fair idea. It all started when she was in middle school.

[gapeach]

So glad that Anne is there for Theresa. Glad Kim made it back home as well!!!

[sevenna92]

I am pleasantly surprised that Anne was the one who saved Theresa. I could've sworn it was Kim for a second. Theresa really should treasure Anne. Anne is all she has.

Chapter 34

BRADY PUB
KAYLA: So, what happened in middle school to do this to her?
KIMBERLY: Well, that's when it all started, the teasing, that is. She's a smart girl, always has been. The other kids used to bully her and tease her relentlessly. It didn't help that Shane was away most of the time on missions. She and her dad were always close. There were days when she dreaded going to school. I knew she'd had trouble in seventh grade, but I had hoped that that was just an awkward stage.

DONOVAN HOUSE - LOS ANGELES - FLASHBACK
13-year-old Jeannie was lying on her bed. Kimberly walked in and put a hand on her daughter's shoulder.
KIMBERLY: It's time to get up, sweetie.
Jeannie groaned.
JEANNIE: Mom, do I have to?
KIMBERLY: Come on, honey. It's your first day of eighth grade. Don't you wanna see all your friends?
JEANNIE: I don't have any friends. Everyone at school hates me.
KIMBERLY: Sweetheart, I'm sure they don't hate you.
JEANNIE: Yes, they do.
KIMBERLY: Well, it's been the whole of summer. Maybe things will be different.
JEANNIE: When's daddy coming home?
Kimberly sat on Jeannie's bed and ran a hand through her daughter's hair.
KIMBERLY: I don't know, sweetie. I really don't know. I don't think he even knows. But, as soon as he lets me know, I'll let you know. Okay?
JEANNIE: Okay.
KIMBERLY: Now, can you please get up and go to school for me?
JEANNIE: Do I have to?
KIMBERLY: I'd like you to. Like I said, maybe everything will turn out better than you think.
JEANNIE: Okay. I guess I'll try.
Kimberly kissed Jeannie on the forehead.
KIMBERLY: That's my girl. Okay, you get dressed. I'll have breakfast ready for you in a few minutes.
JEANNIE: Okay, mom.

BRADY PUB
KAYLA: I'm guessing it wasn't just an awkward stage?
KIMBERLY: Unfortunately not.

SALEM INN
Clyde was sitting in his hotel room at the Salem Inn, when a knock came at the door.
CLYDE: Who's there?
JORDAN (VO): It's Tammy Sue.
Clyde got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
CLYDE: Well, Tammy Sue, it's good to see you. I see you've finally gone back to using your old name.
JORDAN: That's not the only thing I've gone back to.
Jordan showed Clyde the ax she was hiding under her dress.

[fluffysmom]

I'm glad Kim is back in Salem to help Teresa.

Looks like trouble for Clyde.

Chapter 35

ANNE'S HOUSE
Teresa lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Though she was cold, she was dripping with sweat. She groaned as her pain worsened. She was going through withdrawal.
TERESA (groaning): Anne. Come on, Anne. You can't do this to me.
Anne said nothing. She sat in a chair blocking the door.
TERESA (groaning): Come on. I just need a little taste. Please. Just a little, tiny taste?

DIMERA MANSION
Stan was on the computer, making more adjustments to Abby's online profiles. Stefano walked in.
STEFANO: Stanmantha, what are you doing?
STAN: I am ruining the life of the woman who slept with my husband.
STEFANO: Wonderful, yes. But, you must leave that be for now. I have some news to share with you and the twins. Follow me.
Stan followed Stefano into the main room of the mansion. Stefano sat down in his large chair. Rex and Cassie bowed.
REX: You wanted to see us?
STEFANO: Indeed. It is nearly time for your full powers to be unveiled.
CASSIE: But, Stefano, now that Dr. Rolf has upgraded us, our full powers have already been unveiled.
STEFANO: Not quite.
REX: Explain.
STEFANO: When Dr. Rolf reprogrammed you, he downloaded the DiMera history into your minds, yes?
CASSIE: Of course.
STEFANO: Then, you will no doubt recall, or at least be able to retrieve this information, that many years ago I had a brain tumor, and the only cure were three prisms.
REX: I believe I have heard something of that, yes.
STEFANO: Well, when I had you two created, I had the shape of a prism in mind. You see, the Gemini is merely a portion of my plans.
Stefano pulled a prism out of one of his pockets.
STEFANO: Take a look. The prism has five bases, yes? Five sides. Therefore, for your powers to work in full, all five of my chosen ones must be here.
CASSIE: Who are the other three.
Chad walks in.
CHAD: I'm one of them.
STEFANO: As is Elvis, who Dr. Rolf is working on as we speak. The third remaining is your father.
REX: André.
CASSIE: But, our father is dead.
There was a slight chuckle that seemingly came from nowhere. André walked out from behind a banister.
ANDRE: Oh, Cassie. You should know by now that the DiMeras never truly die.

[gapeach]

LOVE IT!!! Can't wait to see what "Stanmantha" (love that name by the way) has in store for Abby! Loved this line: ANDRE: Oh, Cassie. You should know by now that the DiMeras never truly die.

[fluffysmom]

I wonder what Stefano has in store for the people of Salem.

[unavitasegreta]

I seriously almost died after reading "Stanmantha". That is awesome! I still say that my "What If..." is "what if you wrote this show?" because this is way better than what we're getting on screen.

Chapter 36

BRADY PUB
KIMBERLY: I was hoping that after the first week, things would get better. But, they didn't. They just got worse. When she was in the seventh grade, she would tell me about what they said to her when she came home. But, that all changed in eighth grade. And, until recently, I didn't understand why.

PAUL REVERE MIDDLE SCHOOL - FLASHBACK
Jeannie was putting things in her locker, when her locker door slammed shut. She looked up to see Bridonna.
BRIDONNA: Prices have gone up since last year, freak.
Jeannie gulped.
JEANNIE: I'm really sorry, Bri, but I don't have any money with me.
BRIDONNA: That's not the right answer.
JEANNIE: I'm sorry, I just don't. It's all on my lunch card this year.
BRIDONNA: Oh, come on. Your dad's a super-spy secret agent, isn't he? Surely, he must rake in the big bucks.
JEANNIE: He does, and don't call me Shirley.
Bridonna picked up Jeannie by the shirt.
BRIDONNA: I'll call you whatever the hell I wanna call you, freak. Now get me some frickin' money from your dad.
JEANNIE: I would, but he's not home. He's on a mission.
BRIDONNA: It seems to me that he's never home. He's always on a mission.
JEANNIE: Well, most of the time, he is. He's a busy guy.
BRIDONNA: Oh, come on. You know why he's never home. And it's not because he's on a mission.
Bridonna got in Jeannie's face.
BRIDONNA: It's because he doesn't love you. Then again, I'm not surprised. You're a freak. How could anyone love you?

BRADY PUB
KAYLA: That's...horrible!
KIMBERLY: I know.
KAYLA: I mean, I know there are some cruel kids out there, but that's terrible!
KIMBERLY: And it just gets worse.

SALEM INN
Jordan brandished the ax that had been hiding under her dress.
CLYDE: Oh my lord...it really is you.
JORDAN: That's right, daddy. Your little Tammy Sue is back.
Clyde backed up. Jordan got closer.
CLYDE: Put that away now, Tammy Sue.
JORDAN: Why? You wanted me to stop tryin' to pretend I'm somethin' I'm not. That's exactly what I'm doin'.
Clyde backed up again as Jordan got even closer.
CLYDE: Why now, Tammy Sue?
JORDAN: Because, it's time. Because you and Kate kept trying to get me to be my true self. And here I am, sugar.
CLYDE: Look, if this has to do with Clem...
JORDAN: Oh, that's a part of it, too. I wanna know, daddy, why isn't he dead? I thought you told me I'd killed him.
CLYDE: He is dead.
JORDAN: He can't be. I saw him last week.
CLYDE: I'm sorry to have to break the news to you, Tammy Sue, but Clem is dead.
JORDAN: I saw Clem just the other day. He came up to me and said hi. You say he's dead. See that right there, that's a lie.
Jordan raised up the ax and buried it in Clyde's chest.

[fluffysmom]

Don't lie to Tammy Sue!
