Fallen Rise: Part 4 (Aftermath & Vows)


[ Standing in a silk, flowing, pure
white dress; Amber places on her
veil seeing her bridesmaid walk
in through the mirror. ]

"You look - - - - - -"

[ Jeszyca stops speaking.  She 
smiles instead as she starts to 
suddenly get teary eyed. ]

AMBER: Please.  Ski almost got
me on the way over here with
his do you know how far we've
come speech.

[ They loosely hug onto each 
other. ]

JESZYCA: I'm just glad we're all
happy.  It's not every day an ex
on both sides can be involved in
the ceremony.

[ She jokes to lighten the mood. ]

AMBER: Right and did you notice 
who is doing Ski & Mark's speech?
JESZYCA: I didn't see yet.  Who is 
it?
AMBER: Spokesman Landyn aka 
Weis' ex.  

JESZYCA: You're joking.  The
little world we live in, I guess.

[ Meanwhile, in the men's dressing
room.  Dyminic is speaking to his
father. ]

"Are you nervous?"

DYMINIC: Not at all.  Thinking about
being with Amber for the rest of
my life only makes me excited.

[ His Dad gives him a look. ]

DYMINIC:  I know.  I messed up
with Syria but our relationship
is nothing like that.  This is it.
DAD: Good to hear.

[ He grabs his son's shoulder. ]

DAD: Because if this happens
again.  I won't be there.  


SCENE TWO :
Outside; the back area.

[ Ring-bearers Chais & Jai are con-
versing with their God brother 
Little H. ]

"Caleb's here right?"

LITTLE H: Yes.  I parked him
toward the front on the right
side.

CHAIS: Alright cool.  Did you
pat him down first?

[ He cracks an off smile. ]

JAI: Shut up.  Better if we
can keep an eye on him.
CHAIS: It would be better if
H would talk to his parents.

Or someone could at least.

LITTLE H: I will okay.  Tonight.
But right now we should focus
on this walk.  Do you want to
be the one who screws up this
wedding?

[ Back inside. ]

"I just talked to Landyn.  It's
full on both side."

SKI: Great.  You sure LeeVigh
doesn't mind helping record?

WEIS: It's no problem.  He's
always forcing us to make
annoying videos with the
band anyway.  

[ Best man Hithe & Groomsmen
Larrie walk in. ]

HITHE: Hey, you got 15 minutes.


SCENE THREE :
Hallway near the entrance.

[ The S&M and D&A wedding parties
are lined up side-by-side, waiting
to walk into their separate rooms.

Near the front of each stand is a
screen showing the muted action
from the opposite area. ]

[ Music starts to play as they disperse,
two by two, walking down at the
same time.

Then the music changes & the door
shuts.  Ski is sitting on a flat decorated
board with Hithe & Larrie on each side
ready to lift him.  Amber looks over
on foot, smiling at them. ]

AMBER: Brace yourself boys.  

[ A little while later, Landyn & his
female counterpart end their speech-
es while Mark leads into the unmuted
vows. ]

MARK: When I first transferred TA's
five years ago when we met, I had
no clue what I would shortly find.

DYMINIC: It all started with a mix
up in hotel rooms.  Little did I know
that very night, I'd met the love of
my life.

AMBER: Even though some may have
doubted us at the beginning.  You
never let that bring down our spirit.

[ She side glances at her maid of
honor Karie. ]

SKI: I fall more and more in love
with this man everyday. 


SCENE FOUR :

"I now pronounce you Husbands."

"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife."

[ Everyone stands & applauds while the
wedding parties quickly walk down.

They gather outside in a line on 
the steps.  Ski looks up shocked
by the first person to greet him. ]

SKI: Funny.  You don't seem 25 gs
richer.

[ Zain laughs & they hug. ]

SKI: I'm so happy you made it.

Are you staying in town?
ZAIN: Oh yeah.  Me and Joh
start looking for places next
week.  It's crazy though. I 
didn't expect so many to 
know who I am.

[ Mark chimes in. ]

MARK: You we're the star man.

[ A woman not dressed for the
ocassion & a seem-to-be nurse
appear out of nowhere.

They approach their victim. ]

"Come with me.  Now."

[ Caleb turns around as he
is being dragged out by his
mother and a stranger. ]

HITHE: What's going on, where
are they taking him?

[ He looks at Little H who
stands frozen near an equally
shocked Trailyn & Mairya. 

H searches for words, then
whispers to his friends. ]

LITTLE H: They found out.


SCENE FIVE :
Downstairs, same location.

[ After the meal & dances, everyone
is chilled out.  Mark & Acer are dining on
cake/drinking wine at the head table. ]

ACE: Well that was a sick scene.

MARK: Hey.  You can't have a wedding
without a little drama.  Right?
ACE: That's true.  At least it's not with
me and the maid of honor.

[ He points over at Karie who is sitting
at the far end. ]

MARK: Too bad. I was waiting for you
to go toe-to-toe with her new beau.
ACE: Not happening.  Next year I'm
all about the new.  And a relationship
just isn't in the cards for me.

MARK: That's cool. Whatever makes
you happy.

[ Trailyn, Mairya, Little H, Jai, Chais
& Jenni are gathered near the cake
and punch table. ]

"I'm freaking out right now.  What
if they charge him?"

MAIRYA: I think they would be more
concerned about the crying out
for help part.
TRAILYN: Yeah.  Besides scare us,
he didn't really do much.  Maybe
they'll see that. 

JAI: Wait.  Caleb was wearing a mask.

How did they find out it was him
to begin with?


SCENE SIX :
Much later that night.

[ At Stuu & Weis' apartments. ]

STUU: That was one hell of a
show we put on tonight, if I
do say so myself.

[ Weis joins him on the couch,
undoing his tie. ]

  WEIS: We make a good team.
A lasting one.

[ He flicks Stuu playfully on his
nose. ]

STUU: When the baby comes next
month, we will be a totally diff-
erent one.
WEIS: The schedule change will
take some getting use to but you're
going to be an awesome Dad I
know it. 

STUU: I'm more worried about us.
WEIS: Well don't be.  I knew this
was a possibility when I moved
in here.
I made my decision to stand by
you and nothing's going to 
change that.  I promise.  

[ Stuu stays silent through Weis'
reassuring stare.  They lay down,
snuggled together & soon drift 
off to sleep. ]

FRAME BY FRAMES :

 Next Season.

[Amber at s/c, no customers/Hithe passes by & she looks the other way. ]



HITHE: Hey!

HITHE: So, are we gonna talk?

KRISTYN: About?

[ Ski suddenly enters the store & Mark waves to him. ]



DINA: Now what…did you see that?

MONICA: Yes [ looking at a magazine ]

DINA: So, how was Hithe's party?

MONICA: It was fun…

DINA: Yeah? I noticed that everyone is so quiet today…

MONICA: Yeah, long story

[looks around] DINA: We have time…

MONICA: Well, it's not really my business so…

DINA: That's fine dear.  I'll find out anyway.



[ Monica looks away disturbed...]



AMBER: Monica, come here.

Can you watch while I go to the bathroom?

MONICA: I would love to.



[ Amber hurries toward the back & bumps into Hithe. ]



AMBER: Sorry

HITHE: Are you OK?



[ She doesn't look & keeps walking as Hithe stares on.. ]



[ Amber goes in, stands at the sink & splashes water on her face/

Standing there catching her breath she hears someone

throwing up in the stall. ]



[Door opens & she coughs] KRISTYN: Oh, hi…

AMBER: Hey [moves out of her way]

Is everything alright?

KRISTYN: Yeah, I'm fine [washes hands & quickly exits]

AMBER: OK, later [she's already gone]



[ Amber walks back up front & takes over. ]



DINA: What a weird day! Everyone's running around

like a chicken with their head cut off…

MONICA: Yeah

DINA: You know if you're sick…

You really shouldn't come to work! [looks off at Amber]

MONICA: Yeah

DINA: Why would you wanna get everyone else sick?

MONICA: I don't know! [walks away]

You look a little flush

KRISTYN: Oh no, I'm good

HITHE: OK [leans in closer]

I realize this may not be the time or place,

But we really need to talk about…

KRISTYN: What did you say?

Sorry, I really have to get this done before I leave



[ Hithe sees a customer waiting at s/c/

Doesn't notice Mark was watching him. ]

MARK: Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

HITHE: Yeah, sure…

Where's Ski been?

MARK: I've had him helping out in the back

HITHE: Oh

MARK: Yeah, so what's going on?

HITHE: What do you mean?

MARK: I thought you were gonna complete those orders

I left on your desk

HITHE: Oh yeah, I'm sorry…It's just been real busy up here

MARK: Has it? Or have you been distracted by other things?

[looks over at Kristyn]

HITHE: Uh, what's your deal?

I will get it done by the end of the day…

MARK: Alright but make sure you do! Everyone looks so lost today

I'm just trying to get some order in the store…

HITHE: Well, people do have personal lives outside of work

Most people anyway…

MARK: Yeah, Ski will back up here soon... [walks away]



[ Monica coming back towards self checks.]



AMBER: Hey, have you seen Ski?

MONICA: Nope

AMBER: Wasn't he suppose to be here today?

MONICA: Yeah, I think so…

But Mark had him working overnight last night so…

AMBER: What?

MONICA: Yup, we'll I gotta get back to my lane



[walking by] DINA: Hey Amber!

AMBER: Hey

DINA: How are you feeling?

AMBER: I'm fine now…

It was just a little sore throat

DINA: That's good!

AMBER: Yeah [goes back to work]





[walks up to her] SKI: Well, that looked friendly…

AMBER: Hey!

I know, she has never talked to me before

SKI: Weird

AMBER: Yeah, everyone is acting so different today

SKI: Well, we know why some of it is…

AMBER: Right, we'll we have to talk!

SKI: OK, I'm gonna go say 'Hi' to Monica…

Be right back

AMBER: OK



HITHE: Hey, when Ski gets back…

Can you ask him to go get some carts?

AMBER: Um, you can ask him yourself… [turns back around]

HITHE: Fine



[ Goes to turn in the other direction & Mark is there. ]



MARK: I'll be leaving in about an hour

HITHE: OK?

MARK: Look, something is going on with you

But whatever it is just remember you still have a job to do

HITHE: You know what…

You always leave me with a ton of work! I'm the only manager here and

It just so happens that my two best friends are in love with me!

MARK: What?

HITHE: So yeah, everything is a mess right now and until I get it sorted out

I would appreciate it if you would get off my back!

[shocked] MARK: Oh

HITHE: Yeah and I have no idea why I'm telling 'you' this…

MARK: It's alright…uh, I'll talk to you later



[ Mark's still standing there/

Hithe drops his clipboard on a lane & heads towards the back. ]



[ Ski hears & immediately looks that way. ]



[walks up to Amber] AMBER: OK, let's talk…

SKI: What was that about?

AMBER: With Hithe?

SKI: Yeah

AMBER: I don't know

SKI: Well anyway…how was it?

AMBER: How was what?

[whispers to her] SKI: You know…

AMBER: It was great! But how did you…

SKI: Oh, I have my ways

AMBER: Oh, Hithe wanted you to get carts

SKI: And he wouldn't tell me?

AMBER: No, I told him too…but he walked the other way

SKI: Alright, I'll be back



[ Hithe's in the back about to pass bathroom/hears someone coughing. ]



[ Kristyn comes out & starts to walk by.]



HITHE: Hey, are you OK?

KRISTYN: I'm fine

HITHE: But I thought I heard you…

KRISTYN: I have to go home

I'll talk to you later

HITHE: OK, well if you need to talk…

You know where I am [shakes his head]





MARK: Hey Ski, how's it going?

SKI: OK

MARK: I just wanted to make sure you were alright…

Well, thanks for helping me earlier

SKI: Sure, no problem



[looks at him] AMBER: You talk to him now?

SKI: Yeah, he's really nice actually…

We talked and decided to be friends

AMBER: Oh, OK?

SKI: Yeah….

AMBER: So, why won't Hithe talk to you?

SKI: We kind of got into it when we left the party

AMBER: What about?

SKI: Let's just say…you're not the only one who made

a confession to him the other nite

AMBER: I didn't know you liked him!

SKI: Yeah, a lot actually… [looks down]

But anyways, at least one of us got what we wanted

AMBER: What do you mean?

SKI: Oh, I knocked on the door when you two were upstairs…

AMBER: Uh, I didn't go upstairs…

I was in the kitchen with Kyle

SKI: Who is Kyle?

AMBER: This nice guy I met…

I was with him all night when you two left

SKI: What? Then who was in the room with him…



[ Both turn around as Kristyn goes toward the exit/

& Hithe is watching her. ]



SKI: You don't think that?

AMBER: I didn't see her there…

SKI: This is all starting to make sense now…

Hithe said he really liked her and didn't mean for it to happen

I thought he was talking about you! Has he talked to you?

AMBER: No, not really…

SKI: Then it had to have been her…

AMBER: No, he couldn't have

SKI: Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure he did!



[ Dina suddenly comes past them shaking her head. ]
