What do I got to do what do I got to do ooh
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Scene 1

[The camera fades in from the credits to show Amber's motionless figure lying at the bottom of the cliff from the end of the previous episode, she hasn't moved and the sun is high in the sky as the camera pans up the cliffs and fades to the airport to show most of the Mallrats gathered in the meeting room.]

Lex: It just seems like a stupid thing to do!
Jack: It's not like she's been gone for that long!

(Trudy stands up and addresses the tribe)

Trudy (agitated): It doesn't matter how long she's been gone... Amber is missing, Salene is still gone... and there Kacie... we need to search! NOW!

(The Mallrats look at each other as they nod)

Ellie: Okay... we'll start right now...
Trudy (nods): Good...

(Trudy looks over to Bray)

Trudy: Bray?

(Bray says nothing)

Trudy: BRAY!
Bray: What?
Trudy: Did you hear?
Bray (nods): I heard... I have ears you know!

(Trudy rolls her eyes as she looks as Slade and nods to him)

Trudy: No time like the present... lets get started!

[The camera pans to Trudy and then fades to black.]

Scene 2

[The camera fades in from the previous scene, and shows Alice and Ryan laying in bed together. Alice's head is resting against Ryan's chest as she smiles happily, the camera zooming to her face as she speaks.]

Alice: I can hear your heartbeat...

(Ryan laughs)

Alice: And your laugh!

(Alice smiles again softly as she runs her hand down Ryan's chest)

Alice: I wanted to say... that I'm happy Ryan. Really happy. With us two... it's the best thing that's happened to me in a long while... I wanted you to know that.

[The camera pans to show Ryan's face as he shows a forced smile and the camera cuts to the next scene.]

Scene 3

[Camera cuts to a graveyard in the centre of the city, two Mallrats are walking through the graveyard hand in hand while talking in small voices]

Lottie: This is a little bit creepy
Sammy: tell me about it but Trudy told us to look everywhere until we find Amber
Lottie: Somehow I don’t think we will find her here!
Sammy: I hope not…but you never know.
Lottie: Come on lets get out of hear…Amber’s not here! End of!

(Lottie turns to leave but Sammy stays in his place…still holding hands Lottie turns back to face him)

Lottie: What is it? What’s wrong?

(Sammy is staring of into the distance, he creases his eyebrows as he thinks about something)

Lottie: Sammy?

(Sammy turns to Lottie with a huge smile on his face, he places both of his hands on her shoulders)

Sammy: (Rushed) You know you hear those stories about love at first sight and meeting your soul mate?
Lottie: (Confused) Yea? But what’s that got to do with Amber?
Sammy: (shakes his head) nothing! And you know from the moment you see them that you want to spend the rest of your lives with them….well that’s how I feel about us Lottie! I might not of realised it back then but I have been in love with you since the moment I laid eyes on you back at the Mall…what I’m trying to see Lottie, is that I love you and what to spend the rest of my life with you and Xavier, I couldn’t think of wanting any more then that!

(Sammy steps back while Lottie watches, lost for words. As he steps back he lowers himself on one knee and pulls out a small blue box from his pocket which he hold up to Lottie as he slowly lifts the lid to reveal a wedding ring)

Sammy: I love you Lottie you mean the world to me…will you marry me!

(Unable to speak and as tears stream from her eyes, Lottie nods her head before throwing herself in Sammy causing them both to fall to the floor)

Lottie: (through tears) Yes! Of course I will marry you!

[As the couple kiss, the camera slowly pans out unaware to them, three members of the chosen sulk through the graveyard watching the two Mallrats with interest. Camera fades to the next scene]

Scene 4

[Camera fades in from black to show Apollo lying on his bed, a piece of paper is resting on his stomach…camera zooms in to show that it is a list of names of the Mallrats and he has crossed some of the names out]

Apollo: (Mutters) Bloody Mallrats…waste of space the lot of them, where’s a Mode when you need them?

(As if on cue, Phoenix appears in his brothers doorway)

Phoenix: What you chatting about?
Apollo: (Looks over at his brothers) These Mallrats not a single one of them has a bar of chocolate I could name at least five members of the Modes who has a chocolate stash!
Phoenix: I could name a Mallrat?

(Apollo sits up suddenly giving his brother his full attention)

Apollo: Keep talking?
Phoenix: (Screws up his face) She will kill me for telling you?
Apollo: (Twinkle in his eyes) OMG its Gel isn’t it? Gel has some bloody chocolate

(Before Phoenix has time to protest, Apollo has jumped off his bed and pushed past his brother to go find Gel)

Phoenix: (Calls after him) Apollo wait!

[Shaking his head, Phoenix takes off after his brother. Camera stays on the empty room before fades to the next scene]

Scene 5

[Camera fades in from black to reveal a blurry image and the furniture spinning around. A groan escapes someone’s lips as the camera pans out to reveal Darryl lying on the edge of Brooke’s bed with his arms hanging over the end. His head is resting on the pillow and a bucket is placed next to him.]

(Alice appears in the doorway and can’t help but smile at the state Darryl is in)

Darryl: (in a small voice) I’m never drinking again…Ever!
Alice: (shakes her head) I’m not surprised…how you feeling now?
Darryl: (Closes his eyes) Like someone is hitting me over the head, again and again with a baseball bat!

(Alice fights back a laugh and takes a seat next to him and gently rubs his back.)

Alice: I guess your not ready to talk about Axel
Darryl: (shakes his head) No not really
Alice: Well it doesn’t look like Brooke is coming home anytime soon, so you can have her room as long as you want?
Darryl: (Glint of happiness in his eyes) Really
Alice: Of course
Darryl: Thanks Ali….oh god I’m going to be sick!!

(As Darryl turns to the bucket, Alice quickly turns away)

Alice: Come down to the bar when your feeling better!

[Alice pats him gently on the back one last time before pushing herself up and leaving to go back to her room.]

Scene 6

[Camera pans out of a mirror to show Ellie staring at herself in the mirror, she runs her hands over her stomach and looks down at it in disgust. She pinches at her stomach before turning away from her reflection]

Ellie: God what is wrong with me…

(Ellie enters her room and stops Jack standing in front of a smaller mirror fixing his hair…she crosses the room and sits on the edge of the bed.)

Jack: You ok?
Ellie: (shakes her head) NO! I’m getting fat!
Jack: Excuse me?
Ellie: No I am….I just weighed my self and I’ve put on weight! This is not good Jack!
Jack: But you look perfect sweet heart
Ellie: To you maybe…but I just don’t feel right….will you help me start up a diet and a exercise regime? Pretty please Jack!

(Jack closes his eyes knowing that there is no way she is going to take no for an answer)

[Tai-San can be seen leaving her room while carrying a basket full of washing, as she walks we can see that she is in some pain but this doesn’t stop her. Before she even gets half way down the walkway, Lex appears from their doorway]

Lex: (Calls) Tai-San?

(Tai-San turns to face him as he runs towards her and before she is able to argue he grabs the basket of her and sits it under his arm)

Lex: I told you to leave it I was going to do it in a minute!
Tai-San: (shakes her head) I can’t sit around doing nothing Lex…I should be out there helping to find Amber!
Lex: You’re in no state love!
Tai-San: (snaps) I know that!

(Lex places the basket on the floor and closes the gap between himself and his wife he places his hands on her face and places a kiss on her awaiting lips)

Lex: (Whispers) For me and the baby, please rest Tai-San I don’t want anything to happen to either of you!

[Danni laughs as the camera pans to her narrowed eyes and fades to black.]

Slade: We will...
Trudy: But she could be anywhere... I'm really worried about her...

(Slade puts an arm around Trudy's shoulder as she leans in against him. In-between the sound of waves crashing, there is a small groan, it's repeated several times before Slade stands up straight.)

Slade: Listen...

(He motions to Trudy to listen)

Trudy: What?
Slade: I heard a groan...

(The groan is repeated, louder this time)

Trudy: I heard it that time!
Slade: Over there!

(Slade points to a cliff face as the pair of them rush over, Amber is lying at the bottom of the cliff)

Phoenix is leaning against the wall trying his hardest not to laugh at either of them]

Gel: (Screaming) Get Stuffed, there is no way I’m gunna give you my chocolate
Apollo: Don’t be so bloody selfish…come on Gel I will do anything and I mean anything for you if you just let me have one single bar

(Gel thinks for a split of a second before she replies)

Gel: NO!
Phoenix: (Cuts in) Did you say anything?
Apollo: (Nods) Yea…come on bro?
Gel: (Anger fills her eyes) Don’t you dare phoenix!
Phoenix: Lets think about this shall we? If Gel gives you ONE bar of chocolate then you will have to take Axel out one night and cheer him up…
Gel: (Starts to protest) Wait…..that’s a pretty good idea really!
Apollo: So do we have a deal then?

(Gel reaches into the box and pulls out a small bar of chocolate before handing it to Apollo)

Gel: (nods) I guess we do!

(Ryan says nothing and picks up his shirt, pulling it over his head)

Alice (frowns): Ryan?

(Ryan turns around to face Alice, looking at the ground as he sits down on the bed and pulls on one of his shoes)

Alice (angrily): Ryan... talk to me!

Enola: I’m thinking how amazing you are after everything you’ve been through and that I want more then what we already have…

Our dreams will all come true, I promise you,
‘Cause I can see for miles and miles.
In time we’ll be dancing in the streets all night (all night, all night).
