Background Info.
In our story, Brenda and Jax were never engaged. She just came to town for Sonny, but he said he was with Kate/Connie now, also Nikolas never came to town, or got shot.
Carly's POV
"Here we have the stunning Carly Corinthos Jax, here with The powerful mo- coffee importer, Sonny Corinthos." The crowd cheered as we walked down the red carpet. I waved, while Sonny tried to pull me along. we stopped at the end,but before the picture was taken, I turned towards the entrance in shock.
"What a shocker! Todd Manning, owner of the Sun, returns and walks the carpet with the lovely super model Brenda Barret. This will be quite a night." My stomach dropped. I couldn't believe this! I stood in shock until Brenda and Todd finally walked up to us. "Hey Carly, have you met my boyfriend Todd."She asked with a sly smile. "Are You kidding me? Of course, he's the guy I dumped. I mean lets face it Todd, there was never really a 'Tarly', it was always more of Carly, and Todd." I replied.
"Well Carly that's all in the past, now it's Todd and Brenda" Todd said smirking. "Wow folks, as you can see there appears to be some tension between our new arrivals". "Mr. Manning are you and Mrs. Barret a couple now?" asked a reporter walking up to Todd. They strangely exchange a death glance. "Of course and I've never been happier!"
Todd POV
"I hate you." I whispered through a smile, to my new "girlfriend". "Oh I hate you more" she muttered smiling and waving at the crowd as we walked down the red carpet. "Hey Carly, have you met my boyfriend Todd?" Brenda said smirking. I could see the look of jealousy flash across Carly's face as she said something about Tarly and Todd and Carly. The fact she made up a couple name for us meant she was definitely still into me.
"Mr. Manning are you and Mrs. Barret a couple now?" asked a reporter walking up to me, I made a mental note to make sure he was fired. "Of course, and I've never been happier" I lied. "Any comments Mrs. Barret?" he asked. "Todd is amazing, and I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to call him my boyfriend" Brenda said flashing a huge smile.
Before walking away she gave Carly a "Ha ha I'm with your ex who you still love" look and smiled at Sonny. I smirked "This is going to be an interesting night" I muttered to Carly. "You can count on that" she replied. I walked over to Brenda and as we entered the ball room I muttered "I hate you". "I hate you more"
Sam POV
After walking down the red carpet and taking pictures with my family I was about to enter the ball room when I noticed a very angry Carly yelling at Sonny. I sighed as I walked over to them, "I know I'm going to live to regret this, but what's wrong Carly?" I asked. "Todd's back" She muttered angrily as if it hurt to say the words.
I rolled my eyes, great the baby switchers back. "Is he giving you a hard time, does he want to get back together?" I questioned. She shook her head "No, infact he's here with someone" She replied. "Blair?" I guessed. "Brenda". "Barret?" I said confused. "When did they meet?". "I don't know they just strolled in down the red carpet talking about how happy and in love they are!" Carly said shaking her head in disbelief.
"Carly, calm down this whole thing is probably just a scam to make you and Sonny jealous." I reasoned. Carly took a deep breath "Your right, your right Todd's just doing this to make me jealous so I'll take him back" She said calmly. "Well it looks like it's working" I replied softly. Before she could reply I notice somebody walk through the door. I couldn't believe it. "John" I said in disbelief. "Hello Sam"
A.j POV
"I can't believe my mom and Tracy just walked down the red carpet together and no one ended up injured" I said in disbelief to Elizabeth. "I guess anyone can be pleasant, or at least civil when it's for a good cause" she replied. "Not everyone" I muttered as Carly walked by bumping in to me.
"Watch where your going" I said. "Watch what your saying" she said through grinted teeth. "Can we not do this now" I replied. "Your right, I have much more urgent problems to deal with" she said pushing past me. "Someone's in a bad mood" Elizabeth muttered once she was gone. "Yeah, and I think I know why" I replied chuckling as I saw Carly's Ex, Todd, with Brenda Barret.
"Hey Oj" Todd said as he and Brenda walked pass us. "It's Aj" I muttered rolling my eyes. "Yeah, what ever you say Bj" he replied. "Alright, that man needs to work on his spelling issues" I said once Todd was gone. "At least he has the J part down" Elizabeth replied. "Yah well, let's just forget about Todd and Carly and all the other annoying people in the world, Tonight is about us" I said smiling. "Hello Elizabeth"
Sonny POV
"Hey Brenda" I said walking up to my supermodel Ex. "What do you want Sonny?" she asked. "I was hoping I could convinced you to stop with this whole Todd Manning thing" I admitted. "There's no thing, it's very simple Todd and I are dating, I'm his girlfriend. You should know what that is you've had plenty yourself" She replied. "He's dangerous" I told her. She laughed "Well, I can assure you I've had worst, present company included" she said.
"Wow alright, if you want to be unhappy, be unhappy" I responded. "I'm very happy for your information, and I don't know why you care you've made it very clear you've moved on" She said looking away. "I care because I care about you, and this whole "relationship" thing you have going on is upsetting Carly and when Carly gets upset things get ugly, and I don't want to be the one who has to clean up her mess, so why don't you go end this fake relationship you have with Manning" I proposed.
"What I and Todd have is very real, we're in love" She lied. "Sure you are, but if your so in love why are you over here talking to me while Todd's over there talking to Carly?" I questioned. "Good question" she replied as she walked away twords Todd and Carly.
Carly's POV
"Todd" I said tapping on his shoulder. "Hey Carly, nice weather were having" he said casually turning around to face me. "Where inside" I pointed out. "Yah were inside now, but before we were inside we were outside, and while we were outside, not inside, cause we were outside it was nice, outside" he said confusing me, as always. "Stop doing that" I ordered. "Doing what?" he said smiling innocently.
"Talking in riddles trying to confuse me and avoid the subject" I replied. "Well, I don't think this conversation really has a subject, I mean all we've talked about so far is the weather outside, not~". "Stop" I said cutting him off before he could start rambling on again about inside and outside and weather. "Fine I will stop whatever I may or may not be doing so you can talk" he said smirking. "What's going on with you and Brenda?" I asked flatly. "What do you mean?" he asked innocently. "What do you mean what do I mean?" I asked in return. "I mean by What do you mean, what do you mean?" he replied. "I mean by what do you mean what do you mean" I responded.
"Alright I'm confused we need to start over, Hey Carly nice weather we're having" he said obviously trying to avoid the subject. "Why did I bother?" I said rolling my eyes and beginning to walk away. "Hey hold on alright, I promise to stop and answer all your questions to the best of my ability" he said stopping me. "What's going on between you and Brenda?"
Todd's POV
"We're dating" I lied, the words hurting as they came out of my mouth. "Really, because as far as I know you didn't know Brenda before you left Town, in which case you just met, and now you just stroll in here like the happiest couple in the world. That doesn't happen Todd, you and Brenda are only doing this to make Sonny and I jealous" she accused. "I'm not doing this to make you jealous Carly" I said avoiding eye contact. "Then why are you doing this, because this relationship you two have it's not real" she said. "It's real Carly" I lied.
"No it's not your doing this for some other reason, both of you are. Come on Todd is she blackmailing you, are you trying to make me jealous, does she have something on you Tell me the truth Todd, you can trust me" she pleaded. I wished more then anything I could tell her, "Carly there's nothing to tell" I defended. "Then your with Brenda because you like her, because you love her" she said, or more accurately asked me. "Yeah" I said simply, looking away again. "Then say it, look at me and tell me that you love Brenda" she replied.
She had me there. I knew I would probably burst out laughing if I tried to say I loved Brenda, so I stalled. "Why do you care I thought you hated me" I stated. "I don't hate you" she replied looking away. "Really?" I asked. "Yes, really" she replied again. I nodded "Okay, I'll tell you what, I'll tell you every last detail about Brenda and I if you tell me the truth. Is there still hope for us Carly, Do you still love me?"
Brenda POV
"Hey Honey" I said walking up to Todd and kissing him. When we broke apart I saw Carly walking away and smirked. "Carly wait" Todd said trying to stop her but she was already gone. He shot me a death glare "I hate you" he said. "Hate you too honey" I said smirking at his angry expression. "What were you and Carly talking about?" I questioned. "The weather" he said simply.
"Really?" I questioned. "Yah, have you ever noticed that when your outside, not inside it's a lot easier to tell the weather" he replied. "Really, interesting" I said nodding sarcastically. "Let me just remind you that this fake relationship thing isn't over till I say it's over, so if you ruin this or tell anybody the truth, you know what will happen" I reminded him.
"Okay, first of all don't threaten me, and secondly don't worry I haven't told anyone a thing" he replied. "Good, and we're going to keep it that way, which means when people ask if were a couple, you say yes, if someone asks if your my boyfriend, you say yes, and if someone ask you if you love me you say, Yes I love Brenda, it's not that hard to say" I scolded him. "Not for you" he replied rolling his eyes. I was about to reply when all of the sudden the lights dimmed and a loud voice echoed through the room.
"Hello everyone and Welcome to the Doctor's Dance, and prepare yourselves for the first, and best performance of the night"
"That's weird, I thought the first act wasn't suppose to go on for 10 more minutes" I said confused. "Well, thinking's not your strongest suite" Todd replied earning a death glare from me.
"Ladies, gentlemen, and Carly I give you... Me!"
and with that the curtains rose on stage and a bunch of dancers appeared wheeling a giant card that said "I'm back" with a lady siting on top. Then, they started singing.
"Connie's back
So nobody have a heart attack
Yeah, Connie's the host
Kate's a ghost
Yah Connie's back
'cause Kate don't know how to act
Look out world 'cause Con~nie's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack
So don't attack, Connie's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack *Jazz hands*
At the end the woman on top of the card jumped down and bowed. Oddly enough the only one who clapped was Sonny. "Boooooo" Todd shouted. "May I remind you all I own the better half of this hotel" the lady, Connie, said smiling. Everyone cheered. "oncore!" somebody cheered. Everybody stopped clapping and simultaneously yelled "NO!". "Can't disappoint my fans!" Connie mocked as the music started back up and she began doing dance moves the would mentally scar most of the people in the room forever.
