A man in an unknown part of the world stood mesmerized at a woman wondering what in the hell he was gonna do.

Man: ''Is it really you?''

Woman: ''No, it's my evil twin sister!! Damn right it's me.'' He soon felt a stinging pain as her freshly manicured paws sent a direct pain through his cheek, after the slap. ''And, guess what? I've been recently updated on the goings-on while I've been gone, frankly they're a little more then disappointing. I know what you did while I was gone you bas . . . god, you idiot! You are so stupid.''

Man: ''What about Sonny?''

Woman: ''What about him? I told you I had been updated, I know exactly what he's been upto with HER.''

Man: ''Sorry, however I've gotta tell him.''

Woman: ''At least that's still something I can fall back on. Hasn't changed. I'm coming back, I could careless. Guess what? Hell's going to break loose in good 'ol reliable PC and I'll be cheering it on.''

Man: ''I'm coming with you.''

Woman: ''Why, I wouldn't expect anything less.''

Port Charles

Sonny: ''Mike, calm down. He's dead. Don't act so surprised Angel wanted to protect me you know she cared about me and the man did kill her husband.''

Mike: ''So you and Carly . . .''

Sonny: ''Yeah, slowly.''

Mike: ''I'm glad.''

Sonny: ''Yeah.'' Phone rings, ''Hello? WHAT? Well how is she?''

Mike: ''Carly?''

Sonny: ''Some guy's in her house!''

Mike: ''Now Sonny don't go getting jealous.''

Sonny: ''Do I look like I am? I mean THAT, he was there when she got in!!''

Mike: ''Well go.''

Sonny: ''I'm going!!'' Phone rings again. ''Hello? She knows him? Well don't make habits out of doing that.'' Mike looks shocked.

Mike: ''Sonny that was surprising to say the--'' Phone rings.

Sonny: ''WHAT?''

Voice: ''Sonny?''

Sonny: ''Jason? You are, alright.'' Sonny hangs up the phone. ''Why was it surprising Mike, enlighten me.''

Mike: ''If, pardon the comparison, this we're Brenda who had some guy she knew waiting for her you'd be out of her like a flash. You wouldn't have picked up the phone the second time to find out she knew him.''

Sonny: ''Brenda? BRENDA MIKE. Don't you EVER compare Carly & Brenda. EVER!''

Mike: ''You loved them both.''

Sonny: ''Brenda and Carly are two completely different cases and that's that.''

*~*

Back in the unknown place.

Man: ''I called him.''

Woman: ''Excellent Jason. I can't wait to make our arrival back in Port Charles. But first.''

Jason: ''What?''

Woman: ''We have to inform my little sister of course, of my arrival so she can meet us.''

Jason: ''Brenda . . .''

Brenda: ''I realize, of course that it would be easier for her if you never saw her face again, however I'm sure to depress your day, I don't really give a damn.''

Jason: ''Brenda, I thought you'd been updated on current event Brenda.''

Brenda: ''I have.''

Jason: ''Brenda, Robin's dead.''

. .

Ch 2

Brenda starred shocked at Jason's stupidity.

Brenda: "Robin may be dead to you, but she sure as hell is not dead to me."

Jason: "I mean it literally."

Brenda: "Who told you this crap?"

Jason: "Sonny."

Brenda: "Well, now that will make sense."

Jason: "What?"

Brenda: "Sonny and Robin have bonded over the time you've been away, he told you this because he wanted you to get over her and leave her alone or because he in his own warped way thought it would be best."

Jason: "No, Sonny wouldn't do that to me."

Brenda: Laughs amused, "Ha! Rich, who was his little sister? Or are you assuming he only 'assumes it for the best' on women? Sonny has to be in control, Jason, you of all people should know that!"

Jason: "But . . ."

Brenda: "All the men you could have CHECK on this would be loyal to Sonny, not you."

Jason: "No, Brenda you don't understand she's not in Paris anymore, I checked--for myself. So that means . . ."

Brenda: Quietly, "He's hiding her in Port Charles."

Jason: "But why?"

Brenda: "That's what I'd like to know."

Penthouse-Port Charles

Mike: "What?"

Sonny: "Never-never mind."

Mike: "Sonny . . ."

Sonny: Yelling, "I said NEVER MIND!!"

Mike: "Fine, fine."

Sonny: "Besides, there are more important aspects at this moment. Jason's coming to Port Charles."

Mike: "So?"

Sonny: "So, I have some business to take care of."

Mike: "From Jason?"

Sonny: "No, to get prepared for why Jason's coming."

Mike: "What?"

Sonny: "It's busines Mike you know, I can't talk about it."

Mike: "Whatever I've got to go."

Sonny: "Ok, sweetheart."

Robin: (appears), "So, what are we gonna do?"

Sonny: "I don't know."

Robin: "Maybe I should face him."

Sonny: "You can't."

Robin: "Why not?"

Sonny: "You're not ready."

Robin: "I think I might be."

Sonny: "Uhhh . . ."

Robin: "Look, Sonny, you've kept me here--thank-you SO MUCH for it. However, I think that after that creepo breaking me in Paris and me not wanting Jason to know I'm alive because I was so vulnerable. It's time. I knew lying wasn't a permanent answer it never is, it's the cowards way out. Avoidance. Now, the best solution would be for since you and Carly are working things out -- to my chagrin. It's time for little Miss. Me to go home. Face the world on my own. Hey, maybe even learn to be Independent . . . or hell live by myself, even? Come on."

Sonny: "Robin, I don't like this."

Robin: "Sonny? I have one question."

Sonny: "Shoot."

Robin: "Why do you think he's coming back now?"

Sonny: "I don't know."

Robin: "Another then? Since that doesn't quite count as an answer?"

Sonny: "OK?"

Robin: "I heard you and Mike. Sonny are you still in love with Brenda?"

Sonny: "Ahh . . ."

Robin: "Enough with the crappy answers, how about this one, do you think I'm over Jason?"

Sonny: "Nope."

Robin: "Oh, so you can answer questions about me point blanc, but about you . . ."

Sonny: "Hey! Well you better go and get ready if I know jason he'll be here any minute he likes to call last minute 'ya know?"

Robin: "I don't need to get ready for Jason . . . but you know I like to look good for company, especially rising from the dead you know . . . so, I'm gonna, be right . . . bye!" She runs up the stairs like a bat out of hell.

*~*

The Unknown place is all of a sudden not son unknown when Jake tells Jason his beer is ready.

Brenda: "You still gonna be taking that beer, or can you not wait to see your sweet Robin. The look of relief and anger when you found out someone's been keeping her from you. Well my Jason it almost looks like you love her as much as you love Michael."

Jason: "God, Brenda, wherever the hell you've been they sure didn't give you an attitude adjustment."

Brenda: "Is that a yes or is that a no?"

Jason: "It sounds like a yes, doesn't it?"

Brenda: "Yes, Brenda you're right--on all counts?"

Jason: "Don't push it OK, I think we should go make a little surprise at Sonny's."

Brenda: "Oh, no, no. You surprise Sonny, when I come out it'll be a big gala or somein'."

Jason: "Whatever you say."

ch 3

Brenda and Jason had parted ways and he was off to see Sonny and find out where the hell he was keeping and Robin and why he was keeping her from HIM!

Johnny: "Sir?"

Sonny: "Yeah?"

Johnny: "It's time for me to . . ."

Jason: Pushing his way in, "What the hell is going on Sonny?"

Sonny: "Jason, I've been expecting you come in, come in . . . That's allright Johnny when Max comes take-off."

Jason: "I know she's alive Sonny! Where are you keeping her and why?"

Robin: "Jason?"

Jason's eyes made their way over to Robin, as his glistening blue eyes took the look they only got by looking at her.

Jason: "Robin . . ."

Sonny: "I think this is a matter the two of you should discuss."

Jason: "Wait I have to--never mind."

Sonny: "What is it?"

Jason: "I was gonna tell you something." Defiantly "But it can wait."

Sonny: "Well, if that's it. I have some business matters to take care of."

Robin: "Be careful . . remember walking down the street is a risk for you."

Sonny: "Yeah, yeah."

Jason: "Robin, you're, you're OK?"

Robin: "Promise."

Jason: "Why was Sonny keeping you from me?"

Robin: "Jason, why is this really such a problem?"

Jason: "What do you mean?"

Robin: "If I recall correctly you didn't wanna see my face EVER again."

Jason: "It was rash words, I should have thought over."

Robin: "No, no, things that come out that quickly are usually exactly what you mean."

Jason: "What could make you want me to think your dead?"

Robin: "Well, as you may well know--OR NOT, the person you're deeply in love with telling you, you're dead to them, they never wanna see you again, is a serious blow to a person's ego."

Jason: "I'm sorry." She can tell he truly meant it.

Robin: "That's Ok, it's not really the reason I wanted you to think I was dead--it's quite stupid actually. I thought that if YOU thought I was dead everyone would, no one would be able to find me--you we're a bit of a tester, but deep down I knew that if you found out, you'd come and I just couldn't deal with that."

Jason: "Found out what? Robin, what aren't you telling me?"

Robin: Looks down and sighs deeply, "Look Jason if I tell you this just don't freak OK?"

Jason: "Robin, I can't give you any promises."

Robin: "Well, I was in the paper quite a lot in PC because of you."

Jason: "Right, so, what does this have to do with Paris?"

Robin: "I soon found out that this guy I was paired up with for an assignment was from good ol' reliable Port Charles. We bonded over that and we kissed. Once. Way Too soon for me."

Jason: "Alright, so?"

Robin: "So, when I repeatedly turned him down he got psychotiacly upset. It was kina scary."

Jason: "But you we're OK, besides that right, he just scared you?"

Robin: "No. After a while, I started obssessing over you and everything, I was starting to feel better about everything. Then after two weeks I noticed he was stalking me. Sonny had guards on me, so he phoned to check up on me. I broke down, admitting how scared I was and he decided if the guy didn't listen in a week he'd leave me to make a decision. I did. I decided he freaked me out too much with his obsessive possessiveness over me, I went to talk to him. He attacked me! Saying he saw me with Sonny, that's when I saw it he had a shrine full of old newspaper clippings going back to early '98. The man was obsessing over me the entire time we were dating and when I didn't come back within twenty-minutes Sonny came and got me. I knew you'd come deep down and I couldn't see you yet, since I wasn't over you I hadn't gotten enough time this happened in 2000 shortly after our break-up anniversary after the new Millennium, by the end of February I was truly dead to you."

Jason: Angrily, "So this psycho creep stalks you and you're too scared to inform me?"

Robin: "This is exactly what I was afraid of! You're attacking me, Jason!"

Jason: "Robin, I want to kill this bastard."

Robin: "I'm sorry I told you I was dead."

Jason: "Why would you do that?"

Robin: "I was so scared. Now that I'm coming back out? What if he finds me? Sonny couldn't find him Jason, he disappeared? That's why I'm still here!" Jason slowly walks over to her and wraps his arms around her.

Jason: "Hey, don't worry about OK? I'll take care of you now. I'm here."

ch. 4

Jason and Robin sat on the couch as he cradled her back and forth.

Robin: Pushing him away, ''No, Jason!''

Jason: Shocked, ''What?''

Robin: ''Jason, I

can't be relying on anyone, I need to be independent!!''

Jason: ''Who's this guy?''

Robin: ''I think . . . I think he's just sick. Someone needs to find him and help him.''

Jason: ''Robin! Don't do this again.''

Robin: ''What do you mean?''

Jason: ''I MEAN that when Tony took you and Michael you didn't do anything about it because he's 'sick'. Don't do this again let this guy pay for what he did to you.''

Robin: ''NO! Leave it alone, he's back in the past where he belongs and just leave him

there.''

Jason: ''How could Sonny let you do this?''

Robin: ''Jason, Sonny listens to me! I'd

appreciate that if you plan on taking my life over you start doing that too.''

Jason: ''I'm sorry, I really am. God, I just this is a little lot, you know?''

Robin: ''Yeah.''

Jason: Sitting back down against the couch, ''So . . . you've been living here all this

time?''

Robin: ''Mmm-hmm. Carly has been none the wiser. Surprising isn't it?''

Jason: Chuckles, ''No--maybe a little 'cause she's so suspicious.''

Robin: ''Yeah, I was surprised she didn't have someone search the place. Of course I

wasn't here when the whole Sorrel thing was going on -- Sonny had me moved when he was staying at Angel's.''

Jason: ''Thank-god, wasn't there a bomb?''

Robin: ''Yep. Sonny was so brave and smart though. I just wish it wasn't such a close-call again. God . . .''

Jason: ''Can we not go there tonight?''

Robin: ''Yeah, sure.''

Jason: ''Good. So where

have you been sleeping?''

Robin: ''Somewhere Carly would never go!''

Jason: ''Where?'' Robin: ''The maid

quarters.''

Jason: ''What do you mean Carly is always ordering Garcia around?''

Robin: ''Yeah, but Carly would never actually set foot in the room. She just yells and yells, since Garcia knew of course. She'd run faster . . . Carly just thought she was gaining respect.'' Robin rolls her eyes at the last comment.

Jason: ''Sounds like Carly.''

Robin: Stands up, ''Let's not talk about her if that's OK

with you?''

Jason: ''Just fine.''

Robin: ''You know what sounds much more interesting?''

Jason: ''What?''

Robin: ''What you've been upto. I mean travelling the world? Way more exciting then

outwitting Carly . . . what's her last name?''

Jason: ''Corinthos--soon to be Benson. Anyway, yeah the world is interesting but you

know it gets boring because you get . .''

Robin: ''Lonely?''

Jason: ''I guess.''

Robin: ''So, where did you go?''

Jason: ''Mostly the places I read to Michael about, Egypt, Italy, Morocco.'' Mumbles, ''Paris.''

Robin: ''WHAT?''

Jason: ''Yeah, when you left I read to Michael about . . .''

Robin:

''Jason!''

Jason: ''I missed you OK? I just wanted to see you!''

Robin: ''You didn't when I left,

what made you change your mind?''

Jason: ''Robin even when I was saying it I wanted to kill myself. I just knew that if I

said that breaking - up would make sense.''

Robin: ''Run that by me one more time?''

Jason: ''I never could break-up with you.

Then when you broke-up with me I just wanted to die, but I couldn't because of Michael, so I decided that I would make you hate me.''

Robin: ''Why would you want me to hate you?''

Jason: ''Because you should! Robin I t

reated you SO bad and then you-you still loved me.''

Robin: ''So you wanted to make me hate you because . . .''

Jason: ''Because I didn't deserve you and you weren't happy. God Robin, you

wouldn't leave even though you were so miserable. All for me? You deserved to hate me.''

Robin: ''So that's why you said that? Jason, do you realize what I went through

wondering how all of a sudden you hated me?''

Jason: ''I didn't think that far, I thought about the way you looked--so unhappy. I

just couldn't stand it.''

Robin: ''Then why the hell wouldn't you make it better? Why wouldn't you chose

me? Why wouldn't you love me like you should? Why wouldn't you just set Michael free? I was yours! Michael wasn't! And now what Jason? Now Michael's gone you're going to make it all better? I don't think so bud!''

Jason: ''I'm sorry . . .'' Robin: ''Yeah, well you know what? Maybe you're right,

maybe this time I'm not going to sit back and take it.''

Jason: ''I'm glad. I wouldn't expect anything less.''

Robin: ''Why? You should?

What's wrong with you? Don't you remember who I am? I'm Saint Robin, Jason! Wake-up and smell the roses! I've gotta get some air . . .''

Jason: ''Don't leave because of me -- again.''

Robin: ''I won't!''

Jason: ''Then what?''

Robin: ''Leave!''

Jason: ''What?''

Robin: ''Go find Carly, you know what maybe it's meant to be? You're both manipulative little . . . right now you're in the same boat with her.''

*~*

Jake's Brenda is sitting at the bar eating peanuts when Carly and Sonny walk in.

Sonny: ''Carly, you're using him again!''

Carly: ''Oh Sonny!''

Brenda: Hiding, ''Oh brother.''

Sonny: ''What we're you doing with that guy and Michael? You we're using Michael to

get that guy to make me jealous and it's NOT working.''

Brenda: ''Really worked for me, with Jax.''

Sonny: ''Carly, answer me!!''

Carly: ''Uhhhh! Look Sonny, I love you and you don't want me so.''

Brenda: ''What?''

Sonny: ''What?''

Brenda: ''What does he mean what?''

Carly: ''You mean you want me?''

Brenda: ''No one will ever know why if you say yes.''

Carly: Jumps up and hugs him, ''Sonny that's great!''

Sonny: ''Maybe . . . but if you keep pulling stunts like this.''

Carly: ''Oh Sonny I won't I promise!!''

Brenda: ''Sounds like she's begging for Candy on Halloween, he can't be falling for this!!''

Sonny: ''Time tells.''

Carly: ''What?''

Brenda: ''Imbecile.''

Sonny: ''It means as time develops we'll see where life leads us.''

Brenda: ''Not for long . . .'' With that she leaves by the back exit, with a smug grin on

her face.

Carly: ''Oh Sonny don't you worry, I can control time.''

Sonny: ''Carly that makes no

sense.''

Carly: ''What I meant was, that I believe we are in charge.''

Sonny: ''OK, Carly. Let's

go, Michael is still waiting with his ice cream with Leticia.''

Carly: ''Who cares?!?''

Sonny: ''What was that?''

Carly: ''I know we really must be

starting to get home. He must be worried sick about us.''

Sonny: ''I'm glad to see you're begining to develop maternal skills.''

Carly: ''Is that an

insult? Sonny, he's almost 5!''

Sonny: ''Right. So how is he coming along with that bike . . .''

ch. 5

Brenda was now on the docks where Jason sat pouting, she could tell instantly his little visit with Robin hadn't gone . . . well.

Brenda: ''I take it she didn't fall into your arms?''

Jason: ''Really? You think I thought she would!''

Brenda: ''Yes as a matter of fact I do.''

Jason: ''Yeah, well . . .''

Brenda: Laughs, ''Don't worry about me though. I was thoroughly entertained.'' She

smiles a happy smile.

Jason: ''How so? Please tell this may just be interesting!!''

Brenda: ''I was at Jake's and can you guess who came?''

Jason: ''Who?''

Brenda: ''Carly! With her dashing little slave trailing behind her. Sickening but

funny.''

Jason: ''What we're they discussing?''

Brenda: ''Their sham of a . . . oh it destroys the word to call it a marriage.''

Jason: ''Really? Hadn't they broken-up?''

Brenda: ''I thought so too.''

Jason: ''Hmm. How weird.''

Brenda: ''Indeed.''

Jason: ''so what was the funny part?''

Brenda: ''Well it was Carly so just looking at her clothes was entertainment

enough, but the way she begged him for everything and ugh.''

Jason: ''It's what I would expect.''

Brenda: ''So I take it something you told Robin or Robin told you was not taken too

well?''

Jason: ''You take it correctly.''

Brenda: ''Which one?''

Jason: ''Oh everything!!''

Brenda: ''What happened? What did she say?''

Jason: ''About how I wasn't doing anything any help but telling her the things I did

so she would hate me . . . and . . .''

Brenda: ''My God you really had turned into Sonny that year. Continue . . .''

Jason: ''How she didn't want me to know she was alive for complicated reasons

she won't even let me help with.''

Brenda: ''Give her some time. She may have been too busy to get over you.''

Jason: ''Yeah right. It really doesn't take much.''

Brenda: ''Point taken.''

Jason: ''Speaking of getting over what about you and Sonny?''

Brenda: ''What about me and Sonny?''

Jason: ''Are you over him?''

Brenda: ''Is he over me?''

Jason: ''Don't play games.''

Brenda: ''Why games are fun. Besides you and Sonny invented games. Let's start

off by a simple game of hide and go seek.''

Jason: ''What?''

Brenda: ''You'll see, you'll see soon enough.''

*~*

Sonny's Penthouse

Robin's been packing things and when Sonny comes in she knows that look. She smiles? He's got a plan.

Robin: ''Alright. Spill-it.''

Sonny: ''A coming out party.''

Robin: ''I think I get where

you're going . . .''

Sonny: ''Lots'a people there ? he may resurface and I'll be there then, it's time.

Besides Jason knows anyway it's time everyone who thinks you dead does. It's not official because not everyone thought you we're dead.''

Robin: ''So, when and where?''

Sonny: ''Tonight. Luke's, trust me people will come.''

Robin: ''But I have nothing to wear!!''

Sonny: ''Oh, come on, don't act like that's your biggest problem.''

Robin: ''Alright, alright, I'm going to get ready and I'll be staying at the cottage.

Nikolas lives with Helena now so he offered it to me.''

Sonny: ''The cottage? As in where you lived with Jason? AND CARLY!''

Robin: ''Yeah.''

Sonny: ''You do realize you'll have to have guards and lots of them because it's so

secluded.''

Robin: ''A price that for once I'm willing to pay.''

Sonny: ''Alright. I'm calling Luke.'' Robin: ''Luke won't have an objection, any

excuse for a party . . .''

*******

That night Jason had come early not realizing there would be a ?party', Luke told

him so he told Brenda ? she'd told him to tell her of any ?party' or big things that would be happening so she could get out of his way. Jason watched as Robin came in . . . looking brilliant. He was mesmerized by her but he was forced to tear his eyes off of her when she walked towards Luke and Sonny came up to him, if only things we're different he wouldn't be stuck with Sonny.

Sonny: ''Hey I know I'm no Robin, but I'm sure you could use some company.''

Jason: ''I'm fine. Thanks.''

Sonny: ''If Brenda we're alive I'd want you to tell me, the same goes for Lily. So for

keeping Robin away I'm truly sorry but she asked me man and if you could'a been there and seen how scared she was oh god.''

Jason: Feeling a little guilty, ''It's OK I understand but . . .'' Carly walks in

interrupting their little discussion and gasping at the sight of Robin.

Carly: ''What is she doing here!!''

Sonny: ''Talking to Luke I presume.''

Carly: ''Ugh! Well you better not go back to her Jase!''

Jason: ''Who said you have an opinion worth even pretending to listen to.'' With that

said he got up and walked toward the other end of the room and sat sulking quietly.

Carly: ''What's up his . . .''

Sonny: ''Don't. Just try to have a good time could you?''

Voice: ''I know I plan to!!''

Sonny: ''Brenda . . .''

Carly: ''What the!''
