Frisco Gives Robin a Gift
It's the morning of Frisco and Felicia's wedding. After days of a nervous Felicia calling the wedding off-and-on, she finally decides to go through with it.  Robin and Anna are sitting on their living room couch, dressed in purple robes. Anna is brushing Robin's hair and placing a satin blue ribbon clip in it. Both are members of the wedding party.

  Anna: "Hold real still." (She puts the ribbon on and adjusts it.) "Hm, okay. Now since we've finished here, you can go into your bedroom and your dress is all nice and pressed and sitting on your bed, and you're gonna be the prettiest..." (She kisses Robin on the head.) "..flower girl that there ever was." (She brushes Robin's hair some more. Robin is just sitting quietly still, looking sad.) "Um, and do you remember what I told you about the rose petals?" (Robin looks up at her.) "You know, that you sort of, that you just toss them at the people, you don't kind of hurl them into their faces, remember?"

Robin: "Yeah." (Anna stops, noticing Robin's unhappy expression.)

Anna (putting her arms around her, placing her cheek against Robin's): "What's the matter?"

Robin (shrugs): "I was just thinking."

Anna: "About what?"

Robin: "Frisco's gonna give Felicia a ring today."

Anna: "Hm mmm. That's right. With this ring I thee wed."

Robin (sad): "I guess he won't be my god-father anymore."

Anna: "Yes he will. Once a god-father, always a god-father."

Robin (shrugs again): "He promised me a ring once. I guess he forgot all about it."

Anna: "Well, you know, Frisco's had a lot on his mind lately. But I wager he'll remember one of these days that he promised you that ring and you'll get a present." (They smile at one another. Robin perks up immediately. Anna reaches for the hand mirror on the coffee table.) "Now... look at your hair, see what I've done. What do you think? Isn't it nice?"

Robin (takes the mirror and looks at her hair, grinning): "Oh thank you, mommy. I love the way you did my hair. And I love the pretty ribbon."

Anna: "Yeah, it should match your dress, you see. C'mon, we've got to hurry because we're still in our robes. We got to get ready."

Robin: "Okay." (They stand up and start to walk to the bedrooms, but the doorbell causes them to stop.)

Anna: "Oh." (Anna opens the door to find Frisco there.)

Frisco (hurriedly): "Hi, I've only got two minutes."

Anna: "Oh, Frisco!" (She throws her arms around him and hugs him.) "I'll only take ten seconds to congratulate you and Felicia."

Frisco (surprised): "Oh." (He spots Robin standing nearby, watching them.) "This is the girl that I want to see."

Anna (feins insult): "Oh, excuse me, I'm just..." (She smiles as he goes over to Robin.)

Frisco: "Well, hello."

Robin: "Do you and Felicia... still want me to toss the rose petals?"

Frisco (looks over at Anna, then throws his hands out in a grand jesture): "There's not going to be a wedding without you! You look awful pretty."

Robin: "Thank you." (Anna walks over and stands next to Frisco, smiling at the duo.)

Frisco: "Uh, you got a couple of minutes left?"

Robin: "Sure. Have you got any minutes left?"

Frisco: "Oh, yeah, plenty of time." (He kneels down in front of her. Anna crosses her hands and places her finger to her mouth, trying to stifle a smile, suspecting what's gonna happen next.) "Listen, um, you're the reason I'm here actually. Uh, Felicia and I were buying our wedding rings the other day, and I just picked up a little something special for you while I was at the store."

Robin (her eyes getting large): "For me?"

Frisco: "Hm hmm, yeah." (He digs into his shirt pocket and pulls out a small box. Anna smiles even more.) "Now, when you wear this, I just want you to remember how much I love you and how special you are to me, okay?" (He then flips the box open to reveal a little ring.)

Robin (excitedly reaching for it): "Oh, a ring!" (She grabs the Frisco's hand and turns it so that Anna can see the ring.) "Mommy, look!" (Anna murmurs happily.) "Oh, Frisco, thank you!" (She throws her arms around him, hugging him tight.) "I love you."

Frisco (laughs): "Oh." (Robin kisses his cheek.)

Robin (looking at the ring again): "Thank you so much."

Frisco: "Well, put it on."

Robin (laughs): "Okay!" (She takes the ring, giving him the box.)

Frisco (grinning): "Oh, I get the box? Thank you."

Robin (slipping the ring on): "Oh, it's just beautiful." (She giggles and stares at the ring on her extended hand.)

(Anna taps Frisco, who's still kneeling down before Robin, on the back.) Anna: "Felicia's a lucky girl."

(Frisco grins up at Anna, then looks back at Robin.) Frisco: "Give me a hug." (Robin happily throws her arms around him and they hug again.)
