MORE BRIDGE-BUILDING IN PORT CHARLES
Is it something in the water?  Justus calls Tom to discuss the situation
rationally.  They meet at Luke's, and Luke offers the back room in case
furniture is going to fly.  The two men stomp their hooves and rattle their
antlers and generally look like a nature program, then Tom pulls the
totally ungentlemanly act of counting Simone's affairs (only *two*?? on a
SOAP?? She's a positive virgin!!) and telling Justus he won't succeed
either.  He claims it's retaliation.  J. doesn't rise to this bait, and
leaves his money and walks out like a gentleman.

ROBIN GOES TO THE PROM
Brenda sulks through the room and Sonny asks if she's carrying a peace
offering for Lily.  "In your dreams."  Sonny tries to make peace, he's
staying away from Miguel, she should stay away from Lily, and she snorts
"Why don't we BOTH stay away from Lily?" and walks out, with Sonny still
trying to find out where she's going.  Sonny turns and Luke says "welcome
to the doghouse" and they discuss women.  I'm surprised the conversation
didn't touch PMS, as all the other stereotypes came up.  Sonny thought it
was simpler when he just loved 'em and left 'em, "this relationship stuff
is harder than I thought."  Luke rambles on about cavemen and protecting
the family, and how he's been doing his job and why is Laura so unreasonable?
[Hormones, Luke.  Couldn't be anything to do with YOU.]

Meanwhile, where Brenda is going is to Robin's to see her before the
Prom.  Robin is a nervous wreck, but beautiful.  [She's been SLEEPING
with the guy, for goshssakes, what's so scary about a little dance??]
Brenda is at her best as the "big sister" to Robin and she's brought a
bracelet, engraved, to remind Robin always that she has people who love
her.  "You can always count on me."  [Ominous Knell of Doom??]

Stone comes in, looking uncomfortable in his tux, and Sonny points out
that "if you let a woman in your life, you can expect complications."  He
hands Stone the keys to the Jag, after ascertaining that he has his meds
with him.

Mac opens the door and gets a flash in his face: Maxie has a new camera.
They've (Maxie and Felicia) come to see Robin's dress.  Mac asks Felicia
to see if she can find out what's bothering Robin, and F. has a few words
about the ethics of spying.  She will report if it's life-threatening
[but her PI skills are no better than they ever were, so in the event,
she doesn't find out how life-threatening it is.]  [I'm in the distinct
minority, here, but I liked her hair.  Practical for a mom with two kids,
which would be my guess why Kristina has it this way.]  Felicia goes up
to see Robin, Brenda leaves.  Robin's hair is up (very pretty, even
though she, too, has the two tendrils hanging on the side.)  Felicia
decides that the only thing bothering Robin is First Love, and comes down
to tell Mac.

Stone arrives, looking scared.  Mac straightens his tie without
strangling him, and goes up to get Robin, who looks wonderful in a blue
dress.  They make peace.  [We just graduated our baby, I know what Mac's
on about]  Mac comes down and announces with fanfare, Robin!  She makes
an entrance on the stairs.  Maxie takes pictures, Stone gives her her
corsage and she gives him his boutenniere, and they're off, to return for
breakfast at the Outback.

A STRESSLESS NON-WORKING DINNER
Of course, I'm counting on Razz's wonderful transcript here, [and gee,
where is it, it's been a full day! (*joke*, JOKE!!)]  Lucy is at the
Outback and Kevin comes in.  "Oh, good" she says, "you got my message."
Kevin is delighted to be having a stressless, non-working dinner in his
favorite restaurant with the woman he loves.  Lucy looks a little weird,
and Tony walks in.  She sits both men down and asks them what they have
in common.  Kevin suggests "a talent for beign bamboozled?" but Lucy
leads them to admit they are both doctors, both work for GH, and both
care about AIDS.  Tony asks "Lucy, what are you up to?" and she pouts and
turns to Kevin, who asks "Lucy, what are you up to?"  She mentions the
Wizard of Oz and both say no.  Working at full Lucy-motor-mouth speed,
she talks Tony into it, and then Kevin is easy.  She figures having Tony
as the scarecrow looking for a brain is a great idea, since he is a brain
surgeon.  And Kevin, well, sometimes Kevin seems to need a heart.  Tony
leaves, and Kevin is now ready for his nice stress-free dinner.

Lucy winces.  Well, there is just one more teeny-weeny thing... the song
with Damian.  What song?  Oh, just a song.  Well, all right, it's from
"Annie Get Your Gun."  WHICH song?  Uh, well, "Anything You Can Do I Can
Do Better."  Kevin wants to know if this is the repressed version or the
healthfully in touch one.  He positively absolutely HATES the idea, and
that's the repressed one.  This song is full of double-entendres [Drat.
Of course, not the high school version, but surely the Music Circus ones
I've seen, and I've missed all this!] and he doesn't want it.  Lucy can't
figure out what Damian wants.  Kevin figures what he wants is Kevin in
jail, and reminds Lucy of D. getting Tony arrested last year.

Then they settle down to dinner, and a nice dose of Lucy raving about
Madame Maia.

SIDNEY THE BEAR RETURNS
(Get out the hankies!)
Alan and Emily are wondering how Lucy snookered them into the Wizard of
Oz skit.  They each think the other talked them into it.  Emily doubts
Alan can be the Cowardly Lion, and Sidney the Bear makes an appearance.
[I am the Keeper of this Personna: Alan does well.]  Emily loves the
Wizard of Oz: "My Mom and I watch it all the time."  Oops.  She collapses;
how long will it take to get used to?  [Longer than 4 years, kid, I'm
still saving things up to tell my Mom.]  Sidney asks what her favorite
part is, and Emily says it's the part going from black and white to
technicolor.  Sidney, a teddy bear of great philosophical bent, thinks
maybe death is like that, going from black & white to technicolor.
(*sniff*!)  They agree to watch the movie and look for Munchkins and
start to rehearse, and they hug.  (*sob!*)
