I have been working on this for a little while. I want it to be more like a storyline and not just a short story so please bear with me. I have not change anything on the show expect not having Fancy getting raped.. If you guys like it, I'll post more later. I have the first five 'episodes' written!
So here you go...."Ethan," Theresa screams, "YOU said 'we're over' and now you want to go back on that? I offered you everything! Everything and you kept turning me down because you 'love' your wife. Now you are willing to take me as your mistress? I don't think so! I've since realized that I deserve better than coming second in any man's life" Theresa angrily shouts in Ethan's face. "I gave you up. You said since I didn't have the 'PROOF' that you needed to believe me over Gwen, then you wouldn't leave her. So I finally gave up, Ethan. I mean it this time. Why can't you just let me go?"
Ethan tries to break in, but Theresa rushes on, "I gave you up. I threw everything to the wind and told myself I cannot go back." Theresa turns away.
"Theresa, please hear me out!" Ethan begs. He grabs her arm to pull her back to him. "This is our way to be together. Theresa, after all of this time are you going to throw this chance away"
"Yes, Ethan! I won't let you do this to me. Not anymore." She jerks her arm out of his grasp. "I can't take the heartache anymore. This triangle of yours has to stop. It was your choice to stay with Gwen, so live with that choice!" Theresa storms out of the room and away from Ethan.
Jared enters from a side room where he?d been listening to the whole conversation. "Gee, Ethan, I really think she means it," he gloats as he walks freely around the room.
"Jared," Ethan says looking a little nervous. "How long were you standing there listening in on our private conversation?"
"Long enough to have heard things your wife wouldn't like to hear. So what's your deal, Ethan?" Jared pours himself a drink before he continues, "Why are you so anxious to get back with Theresa? Is it because of me?" Jared looks intrigued, "Are you afraid if she moves on, she won't be waiting on the side for you anymore?"
Ethan stares at Jared not knowing what to say.
Scene shift to Fancy and Luis. Sheridan is outside the living room just listening and trying not to break.
"LUIS!" Fancy says then giggles, "We can't do this yet. Just wait it will not be that long before I graduated. We can do it. We are strong," Fancy laughs at Luis as he gives her a pouting face.
"But Fancy, I really want"
"No, Luis," Fancy interrupts him as she slides away from him and behind the couch. Just to make sure there was a good distance between her and this wonderful man. "I can't stand this much temptation. I think I am going to go out. Wouldn't it be a shame if you just happened to go the same place as me?"
Luis storms to the front of the couch and kissed Fancy and then whispered something in her ear that no one else could hear. Sheridan mutters under her breath, "D*mn, I need to know where they are going to meet. I don't want to have to follow them. I could just arrange for Chris and I to be there as well."
Luis finally leaves the mansion and Fancy heads up to her room. Sheridan rushes out to have the guards follow Luis.
Next Time:
Theresa sets plans into motion
Luis talks to his brother Miguel
Fancy gets a visitor
Please tell me what you guys think...

You'll have to wait and see... but I can tell you that I do feel sorry for Gwen. No one deserves to be second in her husband's heart... not even after everything both her and Theresa have done

*************Commercial Break**************
Ethan angrily turns to leave the mansion when Jared taunts, "Don't worry ole boy, I won't tell Gwen what I heard in here."
At this, Ethan pauses at the door and mumbles something of a thanks before leaving.
Jared laughs before heading upstairs.
Theresa is upstairs on the phone, "Yes sir, everything is still a go! No, I want you to pull out all the stops and don't call back 'til it's done!" Theresa hangs up the phone and slumps back into the comfy office chair. "Is this a test, God? I can't help but still love him but this is just too much to ask of me." She pauses to look at a picture of Jane, Lit Ethan, and Ethan, not knowing Jared was right outside the door. "Why'd he have to show up here like that," Theresa starts to get angry again. She stands up and swipes her had across the dresser and throws everything to the floor, including a picture of Ethan. "D*mn you, Ethan Winthrop!" Theresa starts to break down, but Jared comes into the room just in time to catch her.
"Tess, are you ok?" Jared says calmly, "What's wrong? What has Ethan done now?" Wanting to know if she?ll tell him the truth says, "Tess, let me help you."
"That ******* Ethan. He came here tonight. You'll never believe what he said to me." Theresa thought for a moment, Should I really tell him, I don't want to upset him. "Jared can you get me a drink to calm my nerves first." I don't want to lie to Jared. That's the reason I lost Ethan. I must tell him the truth. After he leaves the room, the phone rings. Theresa answers it, "Hello? Yes, this is Theresa..."
Scene shift to Luis walking into his house. Luis is humming and smiling like crazy that he does not even notice his brother sitting on the couch. Miguel looks at him and laughs bringing Luis back to reality for a moment. "Hey Miguel, what?s happening?"
Miguel shakes his head and says, "Well I am not as happy as you obviously, but I am glad to see you so? so? in love?" Miguel is not sure about the wording.
"Yes, I think I may have gotten it right this time," Luis looking mighty pleased with himself.
"What about Sheridan, Luis?" Miguel glazed at him a little timid. "What would happen if you could be with Sheridan?"
"Look Miguel, Sheridan made her decision. She doesn?t care about me anymore, and she blames me for Marty?s death. I don?t know how we can get past that. Now if you will excuse me, I am going out tonight." Luis moved back towards his room. He wanted to make sure he looked perfect for tonight!
Fancy wondered how it was going to go on tonight. What am I doing? Fancy wondered to herself, can this really be happening to me? Fancy starts waltzing around her room. She grabs a pretty red dress and lays it on the bed and dances back to her vanity mirror. As she tries to decide whether her hair should be up or down, a knock comes on her door. "Come in!" Fancy says and then sighs because she knows it?s not Luis.
Fancy freezes as Sheridan walks in. "Aunt Sheridan? What you doing up here?"
"Oh, just seeing how you are doing?" Sheridan stalks around the room looking at the dress and shoes Fancy had lying on the bed. "Are you planning on going out?" Not waiting for Fancy to answer she goes on, "Chris and I are too. What a coincidence!"

*************Commercial Break**************
Ethan walks into his home to hear, "Wow, you're finally home. You need to get ready. We have to leave soon."
"What?" Ethan stares at Gwen, "Where are we going?"
Gwen puts Jane in her stroller and turns to Ethan, "We are going to make peace. I just got off the phone with Theresa. We are meeting her and Jared at the Seascape for dinner."
"WHAT? You've got to be kidding me. Whose idea was this?" Ethan looks shocked.
Gwen straightens up and looks straight at Ethan, "It was mine. I am tired of this feuding." Gwen turns from him and back to Jane. "I encouraged Sheridan to see Dr. Eve about her problems, and I have finally realized that I think I needed to talk to her as well. So through talking to Eve, I have decided we need to put this behind us. Jared is with Theresa now. She isn?t a threat to us anymore."
"Ok, but how did you get Theresa to agree to this dinner?" Ethan said while thinking back to what he had just asked Theresa. "Wasn?t she a bit skeptical?"
Gwen looked a little sheepish, but finally said, "Yes, she didn?t want to, but I told her we wanted to talk to her about joint custody of Jane." Gwen rushed on to explain, "Eve finally made me realize that keeping Theresa from her child is not going to help us end this situation." Gwen turned and grabbed some earrings. "We need to get a move on so hurry up and get ready!"
Ethan walked into the bedroom not knowing what to think. He wonders how he could possible have thought she, his lovely wife had betrayed him and sent the information to the tabloid. He throws on a new shirt and heads back out to the living room. He leans over and kisses her cheek. "Where are we going again?" Ethan strides into the room trying to think of a way he was going to be able to sit through this dinner with Theresa and Jared.
Scene shift to Fancy saying "Aunt Sheridan, really I was just going to go out and have a little drink. It was going to be no big deal."
"We wouldn't hear of you going out by yourself. Plus in this dress you will be quite alluring; you never know who would try to pick you up." Sheridan says as she picked up the dress glaring at it as she has her back to Fancy.
"Really, it's not big deal. I don't want to impose on you and your husband." Fancy rounds the counter and gently grabs the dress. "I guess you're right about the dress I will just pick out something different to wear. Really, Aunt Sheridan, I might be awhile. You guys should just go without me."
Sheridan turns on her, "NO," she composes herself again, and continues, "I mean, I won't take no for an answer. Just ring the cottage when you are ready to go. We?ll be waiting on you Fancy!" Sheridan forces a smile as she walks out the door so Fancy can not argue.
"D*mn!" Fancy dials Luis?s number and waits for him to answer.
Flash to Luis putting on a nice dress shirt. His phone lies on the bed vibrating away. "Shoot!" Luis grabs the phone and sees the call is from Fancy, "Well Hello!! Whoa? Slow down, Fancy. What is going on?" Luis sits on his bed and listens. "She did what? I see? do you know where you are going? What time are you leaving? Ok, well just have to change plans a little bit. Text me when you get there ok? Yes, I love you too, Fancy!"

Everyone arrives at their destination.

Theresa and Jared walk into the Seascape, "Do you think this is a trick, Jared? I don't know what to think here. I am afraid to hope that Gwen is really going to allow me and Ethan to share custody." Theresa wanders over to the host, "Reservation for Winthrop? Party of five? if a baby counts."
Jared looks at Theresa and wonders if she is just being over hopeful. "Honey, you still did not tell me why Ethan was at the Mansion tonight. What did he want?" He looks at Theresa. She has been avoiding this question all the way over here.
The hostess said, "Well where is the rest of your party?"
Theresa turned to lady and said, "They should be here soon. Could you just seat us first?"
The hostess turns and grabs the menus. "Follow me then," she said with a little extra snippiness.
"Theresa, please!" Jared said to her as he followed her to the table.
Theresa leans into talk to him so that only he can hear, "Ethan came to see me tonight to offer me a proposition." Just as she got ready to tell him, Ethan, Gwen and Jane arrived at the table.
"I hope we are not interrupting," Ethan seethed as he watched Theresa so close to Jared.
Jared leans over for spite and gives Theresa a quick kiss. "No, just making a little small talk."
But Theresa wasn?t pay attention to either man. Gwen bent over and handed Jane to Theresa. Theresa almost in tears looked up at Gwen, "I don't understand. Is this really real? Are you really willing to work with me?" Gwen just looks at Theresa.
Across the restaurant, Sheridan, Chris and Fancy walk in. Chris leads the pack not looking very happy. "Sheridan, if Fancy wanted to go out by herself why did you insist that she come with us? I can tell she doesn?t want to be here."
Sheridan completely ignored him and says to the hostess, "Crane-Boothe Reservation please, but we need to up it to three guests."
"We really don't do that ma'am, you know you need to call ahead and let us know if there are going to be more in the party," the hostess snapped at Sheridan.
"DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM?" Sheridan gets her creepy Crane-face.
"Aunt Sheridan, its ok. I am just going to leave. It is no big deal," Fancy says as she turns to leave.
"NO, YOU WILL STAY AND EAT WITH US!" Sheridan yells at Fancy and everyone kind of shrinks away from her. Sheridan swings around and says through clenched teeth, "YOU will find us a table for three, NOW!"
Chris looks bewildered, "Sheridan, are you ok?"
"YES! I am fine. I just want us all to eat together tonight," Sheridan tries to look more relaxed but it does not come out that way.
The hostess takes them to their table. It was a table seated for four people. "I said I wanted a table for THREE!" Sheridan again gives the hostess an evil eye, "Don't you know how to COUNT?"
Chris cuts in between the poor hostess and Sheridan, "This will be great for us, especially at the last minute. Thank you for all your help." Chris slips a small amount of bills into the girl?s hand. "Sheridan!" He whispers softly, "what is wrong with you?"
While no one was paying attention, Fancy starts texting Luis and telling him where she is. I can?t wait for him to get here are rescue me from Aunt Sheridan, Fancy thought, once he gets her we could leave. Thank goodness.
Next Time:
Things get underway.
Will there be any trouble between these feuding couples?

Jared puts his arm around Theresa just to watch Ethan fume. Theresa sits holding Jane in her arms crying, "Gwen? Please tell me if this is true?"
Gwen sits across the table trying to find words when Ethan broke the silence, "Well, we haven?t totally decided this yet. I mean, Gwen did not exactly discuss this with me before she contacted you about this." Ethan stared at Theresa.
Theresa straightens up noticeably, "So that means this is all for nothing? After everything we get tricked into coming here, even after..." Theresa stopped and looked away from all prying eyes.
Jared looked straight at Ethan. He opens his mouth to say something, but Ethan interrupts him, "I did not we say we tricked you into coming here, but I just wanted YOU, Theresa to know that this is totally Gwen?s idea. I only heard about it when I got home... from work tonight."
Jared snickers and Theresa looks sideways at him. She wonders what he actually knows since she hasn't gotten the chance to tell him anything. Before she gets the chance to talk to Jared, Gwen says, Theresa, we are willing to work with you."
Just then Theresa's cell rings. "I am sorry; I have to take this ok." Theresa gets up and says, "Theresa Crane," then wanders out of hearing range.
Jared mouths something to Ethan and Ethan sits back in his chair. Gwen watches this and wonders what is going on. Gwen leans over to whisper into Ethan's ear, "We are here to make peace with them. Look it is because of Jared that Theresa is really getting over you! We don't need him as an enemy."
Ethan just looks at Gwen not knowing what his answer is. I have always told Theresa to give up on me and move on, but now that it is happening? I can?t stand it! Ethan looks at Gwen with admiration but wondering if that is going to be enough to full the gap in his heart where Theresa is.
Theresa walks back to the table with a little smile.
Luis walks up to the Seascape trying to clear his head. "How did Sheridan find out we were going to meet out somewhere?" Luis shakes his head and lets out a short chuckle, "It's almost like she?s following us or having us spied on." Luis paused, "No, she wouldn?t do that she loves Chris and James. She has no reason to try and keep Fancy and I apart." Finally reaching the Seascape he walks inside. Dressed sexy as ever Luis walks in and past the hostess, who tries to stop him, and straight to where Fancy is. "Fancy, can I talk to you a moment?"
Fancy breathes a sigh of relief and grabs her purse, "Ok, Luis!"
Sheridan gets frantic, "Fancy, we are having dinner tonight, you can't just leave." She does some quick thinking and says, "Luis why don't you join us."
Everyone looks at Sheridan shocked that she would even say such a thing. Chris finally says, "If Fancy and Luis wish to eat together?" Sheridan swings her glaze at him, "Then we must insist that you two eat with us, right?" Chris says skeptical.
"Yes, YOU MUST!" Sheridan says.
Luis looks at Fancy, "You know I don't think we are up to it. I just came here to talk to Fancy for a few minutes about some police business. If you'll excuse us," Luis ushers Fancy away from the table. Fancy doesn't realize that she left her cell phone on the table.
Chris watches them leave while Sheridan grabs the phone, "Sheridan, what was that all about? You have been acting weird since we were at the cottage. I thought we were going to stay home tonight with James?"
Sheridan ignores him. He thinks that she has her cell phone. Sheridan starts looking through Fancy?s cell phone.

Theresa looks at Gwen, "I need to know if this is real."
Gwen looks up from the table. "Can we talk... outside?" Ethan looks at Gwen likes she has gone mad. "It's ok, we'll be ok." Gwen stands up and follows Theresa outside.
Jared sneers at Ethan, "So you didn't tell your wife where you really were tonight, did you?" Jared shakes his head and just laughs, "Of course you didn't, what would be the reason to go see Theresa? I don't even think Gwen would believe you went to see her about a case? No, Gwen knows you too well."
"You shouldn't be so over confident. I will get the goods on you, and when I do Theresa will drop you like a hot potato!"
Jared laughs, "You won't find any goods on me because THERE are no goods Ethan. I have told Theresa everything. She knows about all my old loves and my jobs." Jared grabs a drink and sips it slowly and sensually to taunt Ethan, "It just kills you that Theresa loves me, and I am in her bed. It will be me caressing her when we leave here tonight, not you and that is killing you isn't it, Ethan?"
Ethan grabs the table and scowls at him.
Meanwhile Gwen and Theresa walk outside. Theresa turns to Gwen as soon as they get outside, "What angle are you playing here? I can't figure it out. I have moved on. I am trying to stay away from Ethan. Please tell me what's going on."
Gwen waits patiently for once, "I was serious about everything I said. I know that as long as I have Jane and keep her from you, you'll always be after her. We'll always be fighting. If we can come to an agreement about Jane, I think we can finally put all the fighting behind us. I am really happy for you and Jared, not just because you stopped going after Ethan, but because you, for once, really seem happy."
Theresa still looks at her skeptical, "I don't know," Theresa sits on a bench outside.
Gwen says, "You think you aren't the only one who doesn't know what to do. I am trying here. Everyone just keeps telling me 'Ethan loves Theresa why can't you just see that.'" She looks at Theresa with a tear in her eye, "I do love him, but coming second is starting to get old. He sees me as a saint, but I betrayed him. I also don't know how he can think I'm saintly anyway, I mean look at what we have done to each other."
Gwen tears slowly roll down her face, and Theresa reluctantly puts her arm around Gwen. "Umm..." Theresa looks up towards the sky trying to decide what to do next.
Luis ushers Fancy out past the hostess. "Luis what are we going to do? I don't know how to get us out of here." Fancy looks around for inspiration.
"Why don't you just say you are feeling well?" Luis says as he pulls her into a kiss. "If we do this a little more I am sure you will look red enough and possibly have a 'fever' too?" Luis smiles and kisses her again! "Just don?t forget to act sick. Here we go!"
The waitress comes back and asks to take their order. Chris orders and then Sheridan orders for herself, Fancy, and Luis.
"Sheridan, are you listening to me?" Chris slightly nudges Sheridan.
"No, can you see I am looking through... my cell phone." She sees Fancy last text to Luis. It says, hurry things are getting crazy I can't wait to get out of here! Sheridan mumbles under her breath, "We'll just see about that." She reaches back across and deposits the cell phone back on the table as Fancy and Luis walk back to the table.
"Aunt Sheridan, I am not feeling good. Luis said that he'll take me home. I think I am coming down with something."
Sheridan looks up and sees Fancy all red and knows exactly where that came from. How she remembers when Luis used to kiss her like that. Sheridan shakes the images away. "Fancy, we've already ordered for you guys. I even got your chicken soup. I know how much you love it, just like James does," Sheridan says smiling, pleased with herself for comparing Fancy to her child in front of Luis.

Theresa comforts Gwen and starts chuckling. Gwen looks up at her and through the tears streaming down her face also starts to smile. Theresa says, "Who would have thought we could be civil let alone me be comforting you. No one would believe this unless they saw it."
Gwen wipes her eyes, "What are we going to do?"
But Theresa didn't get time to answer. A messenger comes up to her and hands her an envelope. Theresa reaches into her wallet and says, "Thanks, here's something extra for you, Tom, buy your wife something extra special." The guys face lights up as he thanks her and walks away. Finally, this is what I have been waiting on.
Gwen says, "what's in the envelope?"
"Nothing," Theresa still thinks about what she is going to do. She gets up and shakes the envelope. "Umm... Can we go inside? It's getting a little cold out here."
"Sure," Gwen says as she gets up, not knowing where their conversation had gone or where it (Theresa and Gwen's relationship) was standing. Gwen says with a worried look on her face, "Theresa, I just want to know that we are on the same page here. I really am not playing any angles here. I just want this to finally be over between us. I really do love Ethan. I may not have shown it very well in the past. I think at one point it really got to just be about keeping him away from you, but now. Since you have gotten with Jared I have really been able to focus on our relationship. I do love him. I am trying to make him happy." Gwen looks at Theresa almost pleading with her.
Theresa cannot meet Gwen's eyes. She smoothly tucks the envelope into her oversize purse. "I really want to try to Gwen," Theresa says as they move past the hostess and back to the table.
"So boys did you miss us?" Theresa says as she sits by Jared and leans in for a quick kiss. Jared is thrilled, as he says, "Absolutely."
Ethan looks away to see his wife coming in for a kiss as well. He leans into it to make it more than a quick kiss trying to make Theresa jealous, but it just doesn?t seem to work.
Across the restaurant Luis turns to Fancy, "Why don't we just join them?" He says through his clenched smile.
Fancy looks at Luis and surrenders to the idea. "Ok, thanks for inviting us, Aunt Sheridan and CHRIS," with extra emphasis to remind Sheridan that her husband is still there.
They both take their seats and get ready for their food that is coming. Luis looks around and notices that the place seems empty except for Theresa and Jared, and it looks like Gwen and Ethan. Whoa, what is going on there? "I wonder what is going on over there?"
Fancy says, "I don't know. I hope Theresa is ok." At the same time Sheridan says, "I hope Gwen is ok." Luis looks at both of them, then to Fancy and says, "I am sure Theresa can hold her own. But I love how you are protective of my sister."
"I have learned there is more to Theresa than just her ideas of fate. She has really helped me through some things and I really admire her for that!" Fancy says as she looks into Luis eyes.
As they were talking, a fog seems to roll into the restaurant around the four couples. No one seems to notice right away. Everyone goes on in there conversations until it surrounds them completely and cuts them off from the rest of the restaurant. "What is going on?" comes out of the fog from someone. Everyone can just sit there and not move. Something starts coming into focus for the all of the couples. It's like a movie playing so that the couples can see themselves but in a different time. Sheridan and Luis know what this is, but the rest of the group is completely shocked and do not know what's going on.
A clock tower comes into focus. Everyone watches intrigued.

As the fog thickens, things get shaken up!
