                           It Was Simple and Quiet

The King of All Things Jealous
------------------------------
Sigmund has awakened Lucy and Kevin and won't shut up.  Lucy can tell that
something is wrong but Kevin doesn't buy it.  Eventually to appease her Kevin
checks out Lucy's apartment.  Nothing is amiss.  Oops, Kevin doesn't see
Billie and a window is open.  Billie has flown away.  Lucy tries to comfort
Sigmund and before long Kevin is comforting Lucy.  She's comparing Sigmund's
broken heart to what has happened to them and all her doubts about the long
term viability of their relationship surface.  Kevin tries to figure out
where all these doubts are coming from.  Finally it dawns on him to ask if
Lucy had talked about Kevin with Damian.  A light bulb goes off.  Lucy
figures out Damian had been planting subliminal seeds of doubt about her and
Kevin.  With that Lucy tells Kevin to throw out all the previous discussion
and asks why he isn't kissing her.  So he kisses her and.....  Later in the
afterglow Kevin admits he was jealous.  Previously Grace had been the one
who was jealous and he couldn't understand but now having fallen in love
with Lucy he does understand.  Lucy tells him he was silly to have been
jealous as they kiss and kiss....

It Was Simple and Quiet
-----------------------
Felicia is startled on her patio by a bag of donuts dropped from above by
Tom.  Seems neither could sleep.  He comes downstairs to share the donuts.
Felicia had been thinking of Stone and Robin and is amazed and in awe of
them.  She wonders how she would handle the same kind of situation if Frisco
was dying and has determined she wouldn't handle it with the same kind of
grace that Robin has.  Tom thinks Robin would tell Felicia that she would
have that grace.

In Stone's room Robin awakes and checks Stone's breathing.  He catches her.
She's busted.  Stone is feeling spacey.  He wants to see her smile and to
see it he traces it with his finger.  He wants to be together for every
moment of the day.  Stone has been moved to the chair and Robin describes
the day, the sun, the sky, the lake, for Stone who wishes he could see it.
They decide to "visit" their old "hangs" one more time.  Robin describes
and they talk of visits to Kelly's, the docks, the park and LUKE'S and cry
and laugh as they remember the good times.  Stone wonders if Sonny and Mike
will ever get it together, Sonny will need somebody.  Robin predicts that
there will be a reconciliation someday and Robin will be there for Sonny.
Through tears Stone declares his love for Robin, a love that is from a place
in his soul that he didn't even know he had.  Robin responds with similar
sentiments and the tears flow.  Downstairs Lily is with Sonny.  Both had
dreamed of Stone but Sonny's dreams were while he was awake.  He wonders
where Stone's parents are and vows he would never turn his back on a son.
Back upstairs Robin has helped Stone back into bed.  He asks her to  stand
in the light by the window.  She does as asked and as he looks in her
direction she gradually comes into focus.  He beams as he says he can see
her and then, as she moves towards the bed the look on her face changes, the
tears start flowing.  Robin knows Stone has died.  She stretches out beside
him putting his arm on her shoulder.  Sonny comes in and when he asks if
Stone is sleeping just the look on Robin's face tells him Stone is gone.
Sonny paces almost starts hyperventilating.  He repeats. "He's ok, he's ok."
Downstairs Robin tells Mac how simple and quiet is was at the end.  She knew
immediately that something was different.  The axis had shifted and Stone
wasn't there.  But she also felt a tremendous love enveloping her.  Mac
reminds Robin that's because she is loved.  The doorbell rings.  Robin answers
it and it's Felicia.  Robin wonders if Felicia had hear Stone's gone.  Felicia
pulls Robin into her arms.  When Felicia asks if there is anything she can do,
all Robin wants is for Stone never to be forgotten.  Felicia tries to help
Robin by telling Robin that she loved well but Robin doesn't know what she's
going to do without Stone.  As they hug Brenda bounds in the open door but her
mood shifts as soon has she sees Robin's face.  Robin and Brenda hug and as
they do Robin reaches out her hand to Felicia.  Upstairs Sonny kneels at the
side of Stone's bed, holding Stone's hand, then puts his head on Stone's
chest.  Downstairs Mac picks up the phone and calls Luke.  Before Mac can tell
him the news, Robin asks to talk to Luke herself.  Luke's reminds her of his
promise and calls her "Luv" just like her dad.  At the Spencer's Luke wanders
from the kitchen to the dining room and Lucky comes downstairs.  Luke gives
Lucky the news that Stone is gone.  Lucky wants to know where Stone is now
but Luke has no answers.  Lucky then speculates about a higher being, that
despite all the problems in the world there does seem to him to be some order.
Lucky tries to make sense of it all but still doesn't know what to think
about where Stone is.  All Luke can come up with is that Stone is in their
hearts.  At Lucy's, Lucy gets off the phone with tears in her eyes.  She
shares the news with Kevin who also gets tears in his eyes and his lips
quiver.  Lucy puts her hand on Kevin's.  Back at the penthouse Felicia, Mac,
Brenda and Robin join Lily and Sonny in Stone's room.  Robin is the one to
tell Sonny it will be ok because that's what Stone would want though she
doesn't know how.  Felicia says goodbye.  Mac comforts her.  Then Brenda tries
to say goodbye but breaks down and it's Sonny who pulls her back and puts
her in the chair and then sits on the arm while Brenda holds onto his arm
for dear life.  Robin sits by Stone and tells all she wants a memorial service
that will celebrate Stone's life and wants it as quickly as possible.  The
tears flow as we fade out on Robin.  Sniff, sniff, sniff.

Till Next Time
