Jax brings Brenda back from Europe.
She has lost her memory. She doesn’t
remember anything before this past
year. She had been living with a rich
socialite in Paris, but he has passed
away. It took a lot of convincing on
Jax’s part to get Brenda to come back.
He told her that if she came back,
maybe she would remember more. All
Brenda really wanted was to remember
who she was before her accident.
As they arrive in Port Charles
a flood of feelings come back to Brenda.
She actually feels at home and at peace
here. Jax takes Brenda back to his
penthouse. She decides that she wants
to take a walk around, he told her to
be careful. Brenda walks passed Kelly’s
dinner because it had already closed
for the night. She then came to Luke’s
Club. Brenda goes in and sits down at
the bar. Luke comes out from his office
and is totally shocked to see her there.
Luke - Brenda, what happened to you?
Everyone thought that you had died.
Brenda - Do I know you?
Luke - Well, I kinda hoped you remember
your old pal Luke.
Brenda - Oh, you must know me from before
the accident. I can’t remember anything or
anyone from before then. Jax found me in Paris.
He told me that I used to live here. I only came
back with him in hope that my memory will return.
Luke - Well, I would happy to tell you anything
you needed to know.
Brenda - Thanks, well you said that we were
friends before my accident and I hope that we
could be friends now. I could use all the friends
I can get. Besides, the music here is great and it
never hurts to have an in with the bartender.
Luke - (laughs and thinks the same old Brenda)
Of course, Babydoll, anytime.
Brenda then leaves to finish her walk. Luke
immediately calls Sonny.
Sonny - Corinthos.
Luke - Hey man, Luke here. You’ll never believe
what just happened to me.
Sonny - Well, I guess you’re gonna tell me whether
I like it or not.
Luke - I just talked to an old acquaintance of
yours.
Sonny - Who?
Luke - A Miss Brenda Barrett.
Sonny - Have you gone crazy old man, you
know as well I do, she died in
the car accident.
Luke - Yeah, that’s what I thought too, but she
was sitting at the bar. How could I forget a face
as beautiful as hers?
Sonny - Listen Luke, if what you say is true,
I’ll be right over.
Chapter 2
Sonny rushes to Luke’s. They speak quickly and
Luke tells him about Brenda’s memory loss. Sonny
goes to look for her and he has a pretty good idea
where he’ll find her.
Brenda goes to the docks. She sits down
on the bench, watching the way the moonlight reflects
on the water. She can’t believe that it’s so peaceful
there. All of a sudden, she feels like she’s being
watched. Brenda turns around and sees a man staring
at her. She wonders if he knows who she is.
Sonny - Hello, do you mind if I sit?
Brenda - No, go right ahead, it’s not my bench.
Sonny - (laughs and thinks - well at least she didn’t
lose her sense of humor) Thanks. It’s a beautiful
night, isn’t it?
Brenda - Yes, it is. It’s so peaceful.
Sonny - Are you new in town? I don’t think
we’ve met before.
Brenda - I guess you could say I’m new here.
I have lived in Paris for the past few years. I wound
up there after I was in a car accident. I used to live her
before that, but I can’t remember ever being here
before. So, I feel like I’m new here.
Sonny - Well, it’s very nice meeting you.
Brenda - Thanks, but I think I better be getting back
now, Jax is probably waiting for me.
Sonny - (cringes as she mentions that she is
staying with Jax) It was my pleasure, miss...?
Brenda - Barrett, Brenda Barrett.
Sonny - Brenda, well maybe we can talk again
sometime, so I’ll see you
around. (he walks away)
Chapter 3
As Brenda walks back, all she can think of is
the man she met at the docks. She hadn’t even asked
him his name. He had the greatest smile. She couldn’t
understand why she felt some kind of connection with
him. She was visited by the man from the docks in her
dreams that night. She woke up smiling, just knowing
that she would see him again.
Jax had an early meeting so she was by herself.
She was hungry so she thought she would go back
to the diner she had passed the night before; hopefully
it would be opened now. She walked in and
everyone turned and was staring at her. She felt
really uncomfortable. Then she saw the man from
the docks. He came over to her and led her back
to his table.
Sonny - Hi, I knew I would see you again.
Brenda - Thanks for the save, I thought maybe I had
forgotten to get dressed this morning, the way they
were staring.
Sonny - I’d do anything for you, always.
Brenda - (a little unsure of him) Ok, thanks again,
I guess.
Liz approaches to ask for her order.
Liz - Hi, I’m Liz, you must be Brenda, I have
heard a lot about you from Lucky. It’s very nice
to meet you. Can I take your order?
Brenda - Sure I’ll just take some pancakes and
a cup of coffee, black. It’s nice meeting you also.
Liz - Ok, Sonny would you like anything?
Sonny - No, thanks I’m fine. (Liz leaves)
Brenda - Do you know who Lucky is and how
does he know me?
Sonny - Lucky is Liz’s boyfriend and his aunt
owns this dinner, and I’m guessing that Lucky
must know you from before your accident.
Brenda - I guess that must be it.
Just then Jason, Robin, Ned and Lois walk
in together and sit at a near by table. They all notice
Sonny sitting at a table with a woman. (They can’t
tell that is Brenda because her back is facing them).
Sonny sees them and prays that they don’t come
over. He doesn’t think that Brenda can handle so
much attention in one day. Plus he doesn’t want
Brenda to find out that they were lovers.
Sonny - I’ll be right back, my business partner just
walked in and I need to speak to him for a second.
Sonny goes over and speaks with Jason. He
tells Jason Brenda’s story and how he didn’t want her
to know who he really was. He tells Jason to explain
everything to Ned, Lois and Robin and to tell them that
he would call them all later to fully explain everything.
Then Sonny walks over to the table to find Brenda gone.
Chapter 4
Just as he is beginning to worry she comes over and sits back down.
Brenda - Sorry, I had to go make a phone call. I need to
see if Jax was back from his meeting, and I wanted
to let him know where I was. He wasn’t back yet.
Sonny - Well, I just want to be upfront with you, Jax
and I don’t get along very well. In fact, he can’t stand
me and I can’s stand him and believe me that’s putting
it lightly.
Brenda - Sorry to hear that, he seems nice enough to me.
Sonny - Yeah, so what are you doing this afternoon?
Do you want to do something together?
Brenda - Sorry, but I already made plans with Jax for
this afternoon. We are going to go the park and he is
going to try and help me remember my past. Maybe
we could do something another time? I would really like to.
Sonny - Yeah, that’s sounds good.
Brenda - Well, I should be going now, thanks again for the breakfast.
She walks out and Sonny sits there, hating the
fact that Jax is controlling her again. He’s not going to
let Jax hurt her again, when he knows that he is her only
true love. But how would he be able to explain that to
her. Will she feel the same about him as he still does for
her? He had so many questions that he prayed for
answers to.
The next day
Sonny has talked to Jason, Robin and Lois.
He told them about how he had got the call from
Luke, to where he sat with her on the docks. Also
that he didn’t tell her who he really was, but he
would, he just wanted to give her time. He knew her
so well. If she had known that they were lovers, she
wouldn’t have talked to him so openly. She most likely
would have avoided him. She needed a friend and
that is what he wanted to be to her.
Lois called Jax’s PH
Lois - Hello, is Brenda there?
Jax - Who is this?
Lois - It’s Lois. I wanted to see how she was. I
know that she is going to need some friends
and I want to be there for her. I miss her and I
have some old photo albums, from when we were
younger, that I would like to show her. Would it
be okay if I were to stop over later?
Jax - I don’t see why not. I told her about you and
Robin and Jason yesterday while we were at the park
and she smiled. I was hoping that maybe if you
talked to her she would remember something. She
even mentioned that she was thinking of calling you
this afternoon. She’s asleep right now, but I’ll tell
her to call you later.
Lois - Thanks Jax, I really appreciate it. I can’t
believe she’s actually back in our lives.
Jax - Yeah, neither can I. I didn’t tell her about our
relationship and I didn’t mention Sonny either. I
thought I would let you explain it to her.
Lois - Ok, I’ll be waiting for her call.
Chapter 5
Jax has just stepped out for another meeting and
Brenda decides that she is going to call Lois and
ask her to come over. Lois tells her that she will
be right over and that she will brings some old photo
albums with her.
Lois arrives at Jax’s penthouse and she sees Brenda.
Lois smiled, happy with the fact that Brenda looks so well.
Lois - I know you might not remember me, but it is
great to see you again. I know you must have so
many questions and I will be so happy to help you
with them. We were best friends and hopefully
we still will be. I’ll always be here for you.
Brenda - I would really like that. I could use all
the friends that I can get. When I was in Paris I
didn’t have very many friends. I ran my own
clothing store displaying the clothes that I designed.
I was wondering if I always had a natural ability
for style?
Lois - Yeah you were great with keeping up with
the trends. You were a model for Deception and Jax
Cosmetics.
Lois and Brenda talk for the whole afternoon.
Lois tells Brenda everything about herself from the
day they met until the day of the car accident. Lois
can tell that Brenda is a different person. She notices
that Brenda is more self-assured and independent.
Lois is happy with the change. Lois asks Brenda to
become a partner in L & B with her again. Brenda
accepts and Lois takes Brenda to the offices. When
the get there they bump into Ned.
Ned - Brenda it’s great that you are back, for
good I hope?
Brenda - All I can say for now is that I hope to
be here for a long time.
It’s nice to meet you. Lois has told me all about
you again.
Lois - Brenda and I have spent all afternoon
looking at photos from the old
days. We are best friends again. I asked her to
be my partner and she accepted.
It looks that we will be spending more time with
each other again.
Brenda - I’m so happy to have such great friends.
Lois - Well, I’m starving, how about we all go
out for dinner? Luke’s club okay?
Brenda - Great.
Sonny is sitting at the bar talking with
Luke when he notices Ned, Lois and Brenda
walk through the door. He sees Brenda and
smiles. He can’t get over how beautiful she
looks. Then Jax walks in the door and goes
to sit down with them. Sonny starts to feel that
same jealous feeling entrap him again. Jax and
Brenda are dancing and Sonny can’t help but
to go to her and step in.
Brenda - It’s nice to see you again Sonny.
Sonny - Yeah, I have been thinking about you
a lot lately.
Brenda - It’s no use fooling me anymore. I had
a long talk with Lois this afternoon and she
told me all about us.
Sonny - Sorry, I just didn’t want to push you
when you seemed so uncomfortable.
Brenda - Thanks for the consideration, but in
the future I would appreciate if you didn’t keep
the truth from me. I have every right to know.
It was my past too.
Sonny is hurt that she considers him her past.
Sonny - Yeah well I’ll keep that in mind.
They just hold each other for the rest
of the song. Sonny is content to just have her
in his arms again. Brenda is starting to feel that
there was more of a connections between them
then Lois had mentioned.
