I am glad YOU are enjoying doing it!

ifyoucantfixit:
I love your story telling...it is right on character, and right on the way soaps carry a story/
But did i miss something. Why are the videos not available anymore.?
I think i see another soap opera stock in trade in the works now. Quick about face. Of explanation.
Daniel:
Oh dear... I hadn't noticed that the videos were not available... I know that Viacom had swept in with their legal papers and taken a few of them...
Or are you referring to the other thread? There are two Luke and Noah threads (one with Videos, and one without)... lol :)
They're both in the Culture Tent.
Daniel:
No teleplay today, everyone. We're waiting to see if today's actual Nuke video somehow miraculously flows from what I've previously written.
Daniel:
Here ya go, Jess. With no Nuke for a week... the creative juices will be flowing... so I acquiesced to your demand and just went with the flow from today's episode. I hope I didn't breach the TV-14 rating.
“AS THE WORLD TURNS”
TELEPLAY TO AIR DEC 31 2007
<FADE IN>
SCENE: OUTSIDE THE METRO / NOAH'S TRUCK
LUKE AND NOAH CLIMB INTO NOAH'S TRUCK AS THE CROWD
STARTS COUNTING DOWN INSIDE THE CLUB.
CROWD:
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1 – Happy New Year!
LUKE AND NOAH LOOK AT EACH OTHER FOR A MOMENT.
THEY BOTH GRIN UNEXPECTEDLY AND IMMEDIATELY
LEAN OVER FOR A LONG AND INTIMATE KISS.
THEY CAN'T KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF EACH OTHER.
NOAH BREAKS AWAY FOR A BREATH,
LUKE AND NOAH RUB FOREHEADS.
NOAH (HOARSELY):
So... where we going?
LUKE (PANTING FOR BREATH):
I guess... my place? The barn?
NOAH:
Won't it be cold?
LUKE (SEDUCTIVE FLIRTATION):
Oh Noah, I can warm you up.
NOAH GRINS:
Oh yeah? How?
LUKE WHISPERS:
If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.
NOAH CHUCKLES AGAINST LUKE'S CHEEK.
LUKE LAUGHS:
That tickles.
NOAH:
Well, this doesn't tickle.
NOAH REACHES UP AND GENTLY PLACES HIS HAND AGAINST LUKE'S NECK,
BRACING IT AND MOVING QUICKLY TO KISS HIM PASSIONATELY.
<FADE OUT>
<OPENING TITLES>
<COMMERCIAL>
<FADE IN>
SCENE: THE SNYDER FARMHOUSE
LUKE AND NOAH ENTER QUICKLY, GIDDY WITH AMOROUS INTENTIONS.
LUKE STARTS TO HEAD UP THE STAIRS BUT NOAH PULLS
HIM BACK AND GRABS BOTH HIS HANDS, PULLING HIM
AGAINST HIS BODY AND KISSING HIM INTIMATELY.
LUKE CHUCKLES IN HIS THROAT AND KISSES NOAH BACK.
LUKE BREAKS AWAY AFTER A MOMENT AND BREATHES RAGGEDLY.
NOAH AND LUKE RUB FOREHEADS AGAIN.
LUKE:
You're right. Its warmer in here.
NOAH CAN BARELY LET GO OF HIM:
Where to now? Your room?
LUKE:
Umm, yeah. Its upstairs.
NOAH (SMILING):
Right. Do I have to carry you?
LUKE SIGHS:
As romantic as that sounds,
(LUKE LIFTS CANE)
I think I can manage.
LUKE HEADS TO STAIRWELL. NOAH FOLLOWS HIM.
NOAH:
So you can feel everything below your waist now?
<TRANSITION>
SCENE: A GIRL'S BEDROOM.
NATALIE AND FAITH AND JULIE AND CAMERON
ARE HAVING A SLEEPOVER FOR NEW YEARS EVE.
THEY'RE GIGGLING OVER SOMETHING ON TV.
JULIE:
That was so awesome. I mean the way he
swept her up in his arms like that.
I can't wait til I have a boyfriend.
CAMERON AND NATALIE BOTH LAUGH. FAITH SMILES.
CAMERON:
Did you really fall in that freezing pond, Natalie?
NATALIE:
Yeah, but Noah saved me.
JULIE:
Who's Noah?
FAITH:
Noah? He's Luke's boyfriend.
JULIE AND CAMERON LOOK AT EACH OTHER SERIOUSLY.
CAMERON TURNS TO FAITH, INCREDULOUS:
You said he was Luke's boyfriend?
JULIE:
Eww, gross. Do they kiss and stuff?
NATALIE:
Noah's not gross. That's a mean thing to say.
JULIE SHRUGS:
Sorry.
FAITH:
I haven't seen them kiss. But they
hold hands and stuff. Noah's really sweet.
He not only helped Natalie.
He also helped Luke walk again.
CAMERON:
That's... interesting.
But our mom says that men shouldn't do that.
The kissing and stuff, I mean.
FAITH:
Oh. Well I think Luke and Noah are both great!
We have a lot to thank both of them for.
JULIE:
Hmm. Okay. Let's talk about something else.
FAITH GETS A WORRIED LOOK:
Okay. What shall we do next?
Another game?
NATALIE RECOGNIZES FAITH'S EXPRESSION,
WONDERS WHAT IT MEANS.
<FADE OUT>
<COMMERCIAL>
<FADE IN>
SCENE: LUKE'S BEDROOM AT THE SNYDER FARMHOUSE
NOAH AND LUKE PRACTICALLY RUN INTO THE ROOM.
NOAH:
I thought we would never get here.
You walk too slow.
LUKE TURNS AROUND AND KISSES NUKE GENTLY:
Without you, I wouldn't be walking at all.
LUKE STARTS UNBUTTONING NOAH'S SHIRT.
NOAH:
Oh God. I think I'm about to explode.
LUKE RUBS HIS FOREHEAD AGAINST NOAH'S SHOULDER.
LUKE:
Let's go slower then.
NOAH (HOARSELY):
I don't think that's going to help much.
LUKE:
Yes it will... Just breathe.
We'll go as slow as we need to.
LUKE PEELS NOAH'S SHIRT AWAY FROM HIS LITHE BODY,
THEN EMBRACES HIM WITHOUT KISSING. HE HOLDS HIM
COMPASSIONATELY.
NOAH TURNS AWAY SUDDENLY, BLINKING AWAY TEARS OF FRUSTRATION:
This isn't going to work!
LUKE LOOKS UP INTO NOAH'S EYES.
HE SEES SOMETHING THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE.
What? Why not?
<TRANSITION>
SCENE: THE GIRLS' SLEEPOVER.
NATALIE AND FAITH HAVE CURLED UP, APPARENTLY ASLEEP.
JULIE AND CAMERON ARE STILL UP, WATCHING TELEVISION.
JULIE (QUIETLY):
That has to be so weird having a brother...
like that.
CAMERON:
Shhhh. We don't want them to hear us.
JULIE:
They're asleep.
But it's still really weird.
CAMERON:
I don't think we should
invite them over again.
Mom might find out about
their brother and his boyfriend.
JULIE:
Well, if you think that's best,
I can go along with that.
<TRANSITION>
FAITH IS LAYING ON HER SIDE, CURLED UP, BUT WIDE AWAKE.
SHE HAS A SAD EXPRESSION ON HER FACE.
<FADE OUT>
<COMMERCIAL>
<FADE IN>
SCENE: LUKE'S BEDROOM AT THE SNYDER FARMHOUSE.
NOAH, SAD AND ANGRY, PUSHES LUKE AWAY.
LUKE:
Noah, what is it? What's wrong?
NOAH TURNS AWAY.
LUKE:
Please Noah. Tell me what's bothering you.
I can help you. I know I can.
What are you afraid of?
NOAH (SADLY):
Nothing.... everything.
I care for you so much, Luke.
And your family has been so kind to me.
They've been like the family I never had.
LUKE WALKS UP BEHIND NOAH AND PUTS HIS ARMS
AROUND HIS CHEST, KISSING HIS SHOULDER:
That sounds like a good thing, Noah.
Not something to be afraid of.
NOAH:
I know.
It's just...
I don't want to break their trust.
I don't want to ruin this happiness.
LUKE WRINKLES HIS BROW SADLY:
You think that...
being with me is going
to hurt them somehow?
NOAH NODS.
LUKE SIGHS:
Oh, Noah.
You've tried to live
up to other people's
expectations for so long now.
First your father's,
then Maddie's.
Don't make my family
your next dictator.
NOAH CALMS DOWN, TAKES A FEW DEEP BREATHS,
THEN TURNS AROUND.
LUKE LOOKS INTO HIS EYES AND SMILES.
LUKE:
Noah, they don't matter. Not right now.
All that matters is you... and me.
And what you want.
And what I want.
NOAH SMILES WEAKLY, TAKES A RAGGED BREATH.
LUKE (CONT'D)
This is real, Noah.
We are real.
This attraction is real.
We can't keep denying it.
Even if the whole world
wanted us not to have it,
it's still there.
NOAH:
I know...
I've just come to love
your family so much.
LUKE SMILES:
I know.
They love you back.
But they love you for being you,
not because you're trying
to meet their expectations.
LUKE PAUSES.
LUKE (CONT'D)
I love you for being you.
NOAH REACHES OUT AND STARTS UNBUTTONING
LUKE'S SHIRT. HE LEANS FORWARD AND GENTLY KISSES LUKE.
<FADE OUT>
<COMMERCIAL>
<FADE IN>
SCENE: THE GIRLS' SLEEPOVER
THE ROOM IS DARK, LIT ONLY BY A SHAFT OF MOONLIGHT FROM THE WINDOW.
THE GIRLS ARE ALL ASLEEP, EXCEPT FAITH. FAITH GETS UP QUIETLY AND
GOES TO THE WINDOW, LOOKING OUT WITH SLUMPED SHOULDERS.
FAITH BEGINS TO CRY.
<TRANSITION>
SCENE: THE SNYDER FARMHOUS
A GRANDRATHER CLOCK BEGINS TO CHIME 6 AM.
<TRANSITION>
SCENE: LUKE'S BEDROOM AT THE SNYDER FARMHOUSE.
LUKE AND NOAH ARE IN BED, BOTH SHIRTLESS, WRAPPED IN THE SHEETS.
LUKE'S ASLEEP, HIS HEAD RESTING ON NOAH'S SHOULDER.
NOAH IS AWAKE, LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING.
LUKE STIRS SUDDENLY, MOANING IN HIS SLEEP.
NOAH BRINGS UP HIS ARM AND WRAPS IT AROUND LUKE'S TORSO.
LUKE YAWNS, WAKING SUDDENLY. NOAH LOOKS DOWN AT HIM.
LUKE SMILES DROWSILY:
Well you're awake early.
NOAH CHUCKLES QUIETLY:
Didn't really get much sleep.
LUKE NESTLES FURTHER AGAINST NOAH'S NECK:
Thinking about anything in particular?
NOAH:
Not really, just kind of making
my new year's resolution.
LUKE:
Care to share?
NOAH SMILES AT LUKE:
To do this as often as possible!
LUKE LAUGHS, NOW FULLY AWAKE:
Well we could start working on that one pretty soon if you want.
NOAH:
Hmmm. What's yours?
LUKE:
My what?
NOAH:
Your resolution.
LUKE:
Oh. I had that one ready
last night.
NOAH:
And... ?
LUKE:
I'm gonna move out, get a place of my own.
I was kind of hoping you'd share
it with me.
NOAH SMILES PROUDLY:
You got it.
Just tell me when and where.
