Scene 2:

The next day filming begins bright and early.

**

L: Shirl we only have an hour to get to the church and get ready! We're not going to get married…and…(Shirley slaps her)

S: Thank you…I feel so much better.

L(rubs face): Don't mention it.

The two hopefully brides to be jump into their car and race down the sidewalk, jump into the car and speed down the road. Uh oh…too fast…No! No! Not a siren…great, that's exactly what we need right now isn't it…wait a sec…I recognize that chubbo…

L: Norman?

N: Laverne?

S: Norman?

N: Shirley?

L: Well now that we all know who we are can ya please let us go? Please?

N: I don't know Laverne…it's kinda against policy. They're pretty strict with my orders out here…

S: Please, Norman?

N: You girls were going 65 miles an hour!

L: That's not too bad…

N: Yeah, on a freeway!

S: Well, we were going a teensy bit fast…but we do have a good reason!

N: Yeah…::suspiciously:: what? And it better be good.

L: We're getting married in less than an hour!

N: That's a good reason.

S: Yes…we thought so!

N: Well OK…you can go. On one condition…got a donut?

L: And we're just supposed to carry donuts in the car in case we just happen to run into you 2,000 miles from where you're supposed to be?

N: It was a long shot…Ok…you go get married…

L&S: Thanks Norman! We'll mail ya a donut!

N: Jelly?

L: Yes with jelly…can we please go now?

N: Alright…nice seeing you girls!

Scene 3: The girls are in a little room getting dressed into their wedding gowns.

S: Phew! We made it…with only 25 minutes to spare!

L: I know…but we're here! We're getting married!

::both girls squeal and jump up and down::

S: Think of the beautiful house…

L: And the honeymoon…

S: A dog named Dave…

L: And the honeymoon…

S: Will the smut ever end?

L: Hopefully not…

S(rolls eyes): Well in an hour at least those thoughts will be legal.

L(dreamily): Yeah…

Scene 4: The intro to "Here comes the Bride…er…Brides" is playing and they both walk down the aisle. Note, I'm kinda cutting some of it short since I don't know all the vows stuff…so I apologize, but you get the idea.

Minister: Do you Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli take Laverne Marie DeFazio to be your lawful wedded wife…for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, as long as you both shall live?

Fonzie: I do.

Minister: And do you Laverne Marie DeFazio take Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli to be your lawful wedded husband…for richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or worse as long as you both shall live?

Laverne: I do.

Minster: And do you Carmine-

Carmine: I do!

Shirley: Me too!

Minister: Well this is most unorthodox…

Fonzie: Just hurry it up, huh, father?

Minister: Um, yes…yes of course sir…I now pronounce you men and wives. May I present to this congregation Mr. And Mrs. Carmine Ragusa and ::Fonzie whispers something to him:: Oh, alright then…The Fonz and Fonzess.

::Loud cheers and claps, and then the closing music plays::

Fonzie and Laverne are lying in bed in a little room in the Waikiki Hotel. (Yeah, you missed it…if you want details I'm sure that Michelle could make up some…he he…)

L: Oh Fonzie…we're really married!

F: Yep…and it's fabamundo…::leans in closer to her and they start making out::

::zoom out, script-writer can't stand to see someone else with Fonzie::

(Shirley and Carmine's room)

S: Oh Carmine…I'm so glad we're married! I've wanted to marry you ever since you took me to the junior prom…

C: Really?

S: No that was someone else…never mind. ::Carmine gets a hurt look on his face:: Just kidding! Gosh!

C: Sorry Angelface. I've loved you forever too.

S: What about Mrs. Lockwash?

C:Who cares about her? She can't hold a candle to you, Shirl.

S: Yeah, but who needs to hold a candle when you look like that!

C: Forget about Lucille, Shirley. Or should I say, Mrs. Ragusa?

S: Oooh…I like the sound of that…::they start giving eachother little nose kisses and then start making out::

::zooms out:: (We're not zooming back to the Fonzarelli's…gotta keep the PG rating ya know)

Scene 2: The DeFazio/Feeney apartment…1 week Later

Laverne: And Fonzie wants me to go back to Milwaukee with him.

Shirley: And Carmine got a job as a dance instructer here.

Laverne: So I guess this is it, heh?

Shirley(tears welling up): Yep, this is it.

L(gettin' misty): We've sure had some times together haven't we?

S: Yeah, we have…

L: What are we gonna do without each other?

S: I don't know…I mean, we've had our rough times, sure, but I love you like a sister…

L: I'm gonna miss ya Cindy.

S: I'll miss you too, Penny.

::they give eachother a big hug and it is obvious they aren't in character anymore. One of the people is motioning to cut but Garry shakes his head::

Henry and Eddie who had been waiting for their cue and realizing that Penny and Cindy are totally off script peek through the front door, so does everyone else from backstage. All is silent as everyone realizes that Penny and Cindy are in their own little world.

Penny(finally wipes her eyes with her sleeve): Hey, Cin, think we're being watched.

Cindy: Oh my gosh! We're live!

Penny: Well as long as we're Penny and Cindy again I'd just like to tell you all that it has been some of the best years of my life working on this show.

C: That goes for me too…and thank you all so much for helping us stick around this long, we couldn't have done this without you.

::the studio audience is now looking for some cue cards or something, but then realizes this was in no way planned.::

Now the whole cast comes out and they all take a bow. After everyone else has left Penny is scribbling something on a notecard and holds it in front of the camera for a moment, then gives the audience a final wave and walks off the stage.

ABC 11:00 News

Anchor: More on that story later. And now, what you've all been waiting for, the question everybody has been asking, "What was with Penny Marshall?" For the few of you who weren't tuned in to the monumental last episode of popular sitcom "Laverne and Shirley" earlier tonight, the whole nation was stumped by what appeared to be some type of code written on the note card that she placed in front of the camera at the close of "Moving On Part 4". Here is the infamous note:

Attention:

This episode is dedicated to members of the L&S Board, who inspired this episode. Special thanks to ShirlFeeney, SBerryChica32, LavernShrl, and LaverneShirley23. Cindy and I are eternally greatful for meeting you guys on AOL. It taught us more than you'll ever know. Lots of love, Penny

No one can make sense of it. Who or what is AOL? And what are these funny names somehow eerily connected with the show? The world may never know. Now tomorrow's weather report…
