NBC STUDIOS
Molly: I’m jealous.
Dorkay: Of what?
Molly: Everyone at the reunion. It seems like they’re having a fantabulous time. I wish I was there.
Dorkay: Why don’t you ask kpatch to write you in?
Molly: That’s a good idea! I’ll bet she’d do it, too! I’ll give her a call.
BRADY BACKYARD
Mickey: Look, Red. Here comes Nathan and Melanie.
Maggie: Nathan! Melanie! I’m glad you made it.
Nathan: I’m hungry. Let’s grab some hot dogs.
Melanie: You go on ahead.
Mickey: Wait up, Nate, I’ll go with you.
[Mickey and Nathan head for the grill.]
Maggie: What’s wrong, sweetie?
Melanie: I feel a little funny being here.
Maggie: Why?
Melanie: I don’t belong here. Everyone else is family, except me.
Maggie: There you go again. Are you going to make me say it?
Melanie: I guess so.
Maggie: You are so family. You’re a member of our extended family. Even if you weren’t Max’s sister, we would still love you.
[Max comes rushing over, gives Melanie a bear hug and lifts her off her feet.]
Philip: Steph, can I talk to you for a minute?
Stephanie: I’m busy.
Caroline: It’s alright. You go ahead.
Stephanie: But I ...
Philip: Please... Just for a minute ...
[Stephanie and Philip walk to a quieter part of the backyard.]
Melanie: You’re Jack Deveraux.
Jack: I am?
Melanie: Aren’t you? I mean, that’s what Nathan told me.
Jack: If Nathan said so, then it must be a fact. Hortons never lie. Who are YOU?
Melanie: Melanie. Melanie Layton.
Jack: Melanie Melanie Layton, are you a friend of Nathan’s?
Melanie: Uh huh. And I’m Max’s sister. Do you know Max Brady?
Jack: Sure do. He’s Francoise’s brother. Hey Francoise. Come here a second.
Frankie: Hey Jack. What’s up, man?
Jack: Have you met Melanie? She’s your brother’s sister.
Frankie: So you’re Melanie. I’ve heard a lot about you.
Melanie: Uh oh. That’s usually not a good thing. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s not true. I mean ... what have you heard?
Stephanie: Philip, why do you have to keep making this so hard.
Philip: You know the reason. I still love you ...
Stephanie: I can’t do this anymore, Philip. Not after everything that’s happened. I’m leaving.
Philip: Wait. [He chases after her to the front lawn.] Steph, wait. Don’t leave.
Stephanie: It’s no use, Philip.
Philip: Of course it is. We love each other. Let’s not squander what we have.
Stephanie: Did you say “squander”?
Philip: Mrs. H said it first. I was just quoting her. She’s a wise woman.
Stephanie: Now you sound just like my Uncle Bo.
Philip: Well, he IS my brother. There are some similarities.
Stephanie: I wish you COULD be like my Uncle Bo.
Philip: I can. I will. Whatever it takes, Steph. I’ll give up everything for you. We can find our own place. Away from Salem, if you still want to go.
Stephanie: Do you mean that?
Philip: I’d do anything for you. You know that.
Stephanie: Oh Philip.
Philip: Does that mean “yes”?
Stephanie: It means “maybe.” [They kiss.]

BRADY BACKYARD Bo: Are you happy, Fancy Face? Hope: You have no idea. Bo: It’s nice to have everyone home. Isn’t it? Hope: Yes... but.... Bo: Come on ... there can’t be a “but.” Hope: I was just wondering who’s gonna help me clean up. Bo: Who? Me? Hope: Yes, you. Bo: I don’t think so. Hope: You know, Brady, there’s just one thing that would have made today perfect. Bo: I know. [Please click here to listen to the song ... Bo puts his arms around Hope.

Wow. So awesome to "see" everyone again. I love it. Sometimes I have to remind myself that your stories aren't the actual cannon, even though, often times, they really SHOULD be. Can YOU write for the show?  You could fix everything! |

Awwww....what a great story! I'm totally trying to ration the "classics" so I don't run out too soon, but they're so good I want to keep reading! Thanks, jkjpatch!

Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the "classics"! I've written about 30 stories, so you're not likely to run out any time soon.  |

I was thinking about how Hope and Bo always hosted a big 4th of July party every year, and it brought this story to mind. So I thought I'd bump this thread. Enjoy.
