           The Vacation 
                 Ferncliff 
                 Visitor's Room 
                 October 1, 1999 
                 9am 

                 ''Alright, Julie. I'm here. What do you want?'' Kevin said calmly as he
           entered the room. 
                 He put his jacket on the table as he waited Julie to reply. 
                 ''Thanks for coming, Kevin. I heard that you dumped Eve!'' Julie
           smirked. 
                 ''Is that why you called me to talk about my breakup with Eve?'' Kevin
           asked looking annoyed. 
                 ''As much as amusing it would be to hear about it, that's not the reason I
           called you. No, I need you to help me with something very important. Would
           you, Dr. Collins?'' Julie asked anxiously. 
                 ''Why do you want my help? I thought you wanted nothing more to do
           with me!'' Kevin stated. 
                 ''Well, I did. But then I heard that you came to your senses and reunited
           with Lucy. I knew you were free of the evil influences of Eve Lambert and
           could be trusted again,'' Julie smiled. 
                 ''Oh, you are really laying on the flattery thick, Devlin. Just tell me what
           you want and stop wasting my time.'' Kevin demanded. 
                 ''Well, I've been really stressed out lately and I really need a break from
           life from Ferncliff. I wonder if you could ask Dr. Rimmer a very important
           question... Please inquire for me, if I could take a 2 month vacation, under
           your supervision of course. Lucy is welcomed to come along with us. I can
           even put up with her yaking, for once. I swear I won't brick her up in a
           wall.... I was considering the South of France, what do you think?'' Julie
           asked thoughtfully. 
                 ''I think you are off your rocker! You can't go on a vacation!'' Kevin
           exclaimed. 
                 ''Why not! I have been really good the last while!'' Julie protested. 
                 ''Julie, during the last couples of months here, you tried to murder Dr.
           Rachel Locke twice.!'' Kevin pointed out. 
                 ''But since then, I have been a good crazy person! Just ask Dr. Rimmer,''
           Julie smiled. 
                 Kevin shook his head, ''Julie, that isn't the problem! You are sentenced
           by the courts to live in a mental institution for the rest of your life. That
           means no vacation period! Do you understand that??'' 
                 ''I always received a vacation when I worked at General Hospital. Why
           can't I get one now? There is a lot of tension between me and Ferncliff staff
           right now. I just feel it would be best for everyone, if I went away for a little
           while. I'm sure Dr. Rimmer would okay the trip if you were my supervisor.
           You can have as many guards as you like to watch me closely. Please ask for
           me, Kevin?'' Julie begged. 
                 ''Even if Dr. Rimmer would say yes to your ridiculous idea, why would
           want me. After all, you and Greg sought revenge against me. Also I was one
           of persons who figured out that you were General Homicide Killer and I
           arranged for you to put here in Ferncliff! And finally, you just plain hate me!
           It makes no sense that you would want my company for two months.'' Kevin
           stated calmly. 
                 ''You are right! I used to hate you until Dr. Rachel Locke come along.
           Compared to her therapy, your methods are way better. And I would feel
           more relaxed if you were my psychiatrist on this trip.... As for Rachel, it's her
           own fault that I tried to kill her twice. Believe me if she came on the trip, I
           would end up murdering her. And that is no joke, Dr. Collins... That would
           not be good for my mental health at all!'' Julie said angrily. 
                 ''Then why do still keep Rachel as your psychiatrist around Ferncliff?''
           Kevin inquires. 
                 ''She is amusing to have around because she be the one who cures me.
           She thinks she is smarter than me. Like that is ever possible,'' Julie laughed. 
                 ''Nope, that Rachel isn't that bright!'' Kevin chuckled. 
                 You can say that again, Dr. Collins... Anyways, back to the subject. Will
           you help me convince Dr. Rimmer to let me go on vacation?'' Julie asked
           smiling. 
                 ''Julie. For the final time, I won't. But let me call Dr. Rimmer so you can
           be convinced 
                 of the matter!'' Kevin said shaking his head. 
                 Then he picked up his cell phone and called Dr. Rimmer to the visitor's
           room. 
             

                 5 minutes Later 
             

                 ''Is there a problem?'' Dr. Rimmer asked as he came into the visitor's
           room. 
                 ''Yes, Julie has a question for you.'' Kevin replied trying not to laugh. 
                 Julie took a deep breath and spoke, ''Dr. Rimmer. As you know, I have
           been a exhausted and stressed out serial killer recently. I propose that Dr.
           Kevin Collins take me on a relaxing 2 month vacation to the South of
           France. I will pay for all expenses for the trip, including the security guards
           who come with us. I promise when we arrive back, I will be a very relaxed
           serial killer. I am thinking about going in November. So what you say,
           Doctor?'' 
                 ''I say you are nuts!'' Dr. Rimmer muttered under his breath. 
                 ''What did you say Doctor?'' Julie inquired. 
                 ''Julie, what kind of place do you think this is? This is not a place where
           you can come and go of your own free will. You have been committed by the
           courts to live here forever. So, the only vacation you will be taking will be
           solitude, if you don't be quiet. What you say, Julie?'' Dr. Rimmer asked
           coldly. 
                 ''So, does that mean, I won't ever have a vacation in my life again?''
           Julie asked looking confused. 
                 ''Yes!!'' Kevin and Dr. Rimmer responded. 
                 ''Darn it! I guess I can rule out my summer vacation in June at Disney
           World then!'' Julie said in disappointment. 
                 She sighed and said, ''Take me to my room, Dr. Rimmer, since I am not
           going anywhere ever!!'' 
                 Dr. Rimmer nodded then he knocked on the door and the guard
           answered. A minute later, Dr. Rimmer, Julie, and two guards were on their
           way back to her private room. 
                 Meanwhile, back at the visitor's area, Kevin picked up his coat and
           shook his head, ''Vacations for mental patients!!!!! What will crazy Julie
           think of next!!'' 

                 The End  

                 Chapter 30-Columbus Day 
                 Ferncliff 
                 Outside Julie's Room 
                 October 7, 1999 
                 Columbus Day 
                 12pm 
             

                 ''I hope you have enjoyed the Julie Devlin Museum tour today. And for
           the final part of our tour, my brother Joe, will introduce you three to Dr.
           Julie Devlin. I'm sorry I can't stay, but I have to get to my EMT job,'' Frank
           said to the tour group. 
                 ''Well, thank you for being such a wonderful handsome tour guide,''
           Emily Quartermaine said winking at him. 
                 ''Hey, you're my girlfriend!'' Juan objected. 
                 ''No, I'm not!'' Emily said shaking her head. 
                 ''Yes, you are!'' Juan insisted. 
                 Jason glared at him and said coldly, ''My sister said she isn't. Get over it
           Juan!'' 
                 ''But she is my girlfriend!'' Juan whined. 
                 ''Okay, remember you asked for it, Jerk!!'' Jason said, as he started to
           pull his gun from his jacket 
                 ''Jason, there is no need for violence,'' Joe mumbled. 
                 ''Can you speak up, I can't understand you,'' Jason said sounding
           confused. 
                 ''No, I don't!'' Joe said loudly. 
                 ''Yes, you do!'' Juan said quickly. 
                 ''Who asked you?'' Emily asked looking very irritated at him. 
                 ''Everybody calm down. I like to continued this tour!'' Joe muttered. 
                 ''Oh, great!! This tour went down hill as soon your handsome normal
           speaking brother left,'' Emily complained. 
                 ''Speak up, Scanlon. Or I'll just have to elimate you if you don't!'' Jason
           threatened. 
                 Joe looked scared to death and said to himself, ''I can't believe Karen
           dated this guy!'' 
                 ''What did you say?'' Jason said pulling out his gun. 
                 ''I said... Come inside and meet Julie Devlin! Port Charles's famous serial
           murder!'' Joe said loudly. 
                 Then he entered the room where Julie resided at Ferncliff. To his shock
           Julie Devlin, was siting at small dinner table with a Thanksgiving meal spread
           infront of her. 
                 ''Ah, Julie. Today is Columbus Day not Thanksgiving!'' Joe shouted. 
                 ''Why are you shouting??? Oh, I forget, you are the new and improved
           Joe that mumbles!'' Julie said sarcastically. 
                 Juan, Emily and Jason burst out laughing at her comment, while Joe
           looked ticked. 
                 ''He gets on my nerves when he mumbles, I keep wanting to kill him,''
           Jason chuckled. 
                 ''And Jason meant every word he just spoke!,'' Emily grinned. 
                 Joe looked rattled for a minute, then spoke loudly, ''Any questions for
           Julie?'' 
                 ''Yes!'' Juan said putting up his hand 
                 ''Go ahead!'' Julie said as she took a bite out of her mashed potatoes and
           gravy. 
                 ''Are you really the General Homicide Killer?'' Juan asked seriously. 
                 ''Yes, I am!'' Julie said taking a bite out of her salad. 
                 ''You??'' Juan giggled 
                 ''Yes, me!'' Julie said looking mad as she buttered her french bread. 
                 ''But you don't seem smart enough to plan out serial murders!'' Juan
           observed. 
                 ''She wasn't! Greg Cooper brainwashed her to commit the murders step
           by step!'' Emily pointed out. 
                 ''But I did kill all those people. And I could of done all the murders with
           or without Greg's help!'' Julie insisted. 
                 ''Right, we believe that!!'' Jason smirked. 
                 ''Shut up!'' Julie snapped. 
                 Then she continued to finish her meal as the tour group watched her. 
                 Then Jason just stared blankly at her, ''Isn't Thanksgiving in November?
           That's when Sonny told me when it was.'' 
                 ''That's correct, Jason!'' Joe shouted. 
                 ''I am celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving, you idiots!'' Julie said looking
           annoyed. 
                 ''You aren't Canadian!'' Joe yelled. 
                 ''Joe, you know if you didn't mumble, there would be no need for
           shouting...Anyways, no, I am not Canadian but my good email buddy is. We
           agreed to celebrate thanksgiving even if we aren't together!'' Julie said
           pleasantly. 
                 ''I thought you aren't allowed to email here at Ferncliff!'' Jason asked
           shocked. 
                 ''Well, Actually. As part of my therapy, Dr. Rimmer allows to contact
           with my friend. He believes this friend is a very good influence on me,'' Julie
           said positively. 
                 ''What this person's name?'' Juan asked. 
                 ''Shut up, Juan!'' Jason threatened him by waving his gun in the air. 
                 Juan remained quiet and sat down on Julie's bed. 
                 ''Julie, who is your friend?'' Emily asked pleasantly. 
                 ''His name is John Black. He is really nice,'' Julie smiled. 
                 ''Oh, really. Has he ever asked you out?'' Emily said curiosity. 
                 ''Oh, we are just friends. Just like you and Lucky!'' Julie smiled. 
                 Emily rolled her eyes and said, ''And friends is all we ever be, thanks to
           Liz Webber.'' 
                 ''I can get rid of her for you!'' Jason offered as he played with his gun. 
                 ''Hey Girlfriend!! You love me not Lurky!'' Juan said as he eyed Julie
           eating a piece of turkey. 
                 ''That's Lucky not Lurky!. And if you want a piece of Turkey, ask her.
           And stop calling me girlfriend!'' Emily said quietly as she walked up to him. 
                 Juan walked nervously to Julie and asked,''Can I have a piece of turkey,
           Girl...friend!'' 
                 Julie glared at him, ''It one thing to call that Quartermaine brat,
           girlfriend. But it's another thing, when you call me that.'' 
                 She dropped her fork and stared at Jason. 
                 ''Shoot him!'' she ordered. 
                 ''Nobody is killing anyone! This tour is now offically over!!,'' Joe
           mumbled. 
                 ''What?'' Julie, Jason, Juan and Emily said at once. 
                 ''The Julie Devlin Museum Tour is done for the day!'' Joe shouted. 
                 ''You are so rude! Unlike your handsome brother Frank who is so kind,''
           Emily said dreamily. 
                 ''Hey, Girlfriend! I'm the only guy for you!'' Juan shouted. 
                 ''Shut up and leave now!'' Jason ordered as he pointed his gun at him 
                 Juan looked really scared and ran out of Julie's door quickly. 
                 ''That's one way to get rid of the pest. But it would of been more effective
           if you killed him,'' Julie smirked. 
                 ''Oh, I wanted to but I promise my sister I wouldn't!'' Jason said staring
           blankly at her. 
                 ''And I appreciate it. Come on Jason, Grandma is expecting you to serve
           tea to her,'' Emily said casually. 
                 ''You are a Mobster but yet you take the time to serve tea to Lila!'' Julie
           asked looking puzzled. 
                 ''That's none of your darn business, Devlin! Jason said coldly. 
                 ''Okay, that's enough Jason.... Have a nice day!! I hope we will be seeing
           you both at the Julie Delvin Museum another day,'' Joe said loudly. 
                 ''We had lovely time, Bye Scanlon,'' Emily grinned. 
                 ''Bye Julie,'' Joe mumbled. 
                 ''What?'' Julie looked lost. 
                 ''I'm out of here!'' Joe yelled. 
                 Then he knocked on the door and departed the room in anger. 
                 ''Well, thank goodness, Mumbles is now gone!'' Julie laughed. 
                 Then she raised her glass, ''Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friend,
           John Black. Or otherwise known as Dr. Ryan Chamberlain!!!''  
                 The End 

                 Chapter 31-The Regifter 
                 Ferncliff 
                 Visitor's Room 
                 October 22, 2000 
                 3pm 

                 Chapter 31 The Regifter 

                 ''NuKaren, I mean Karen! I am so happy to see you!'' Julie said
           cheerfully. 
                 ''NuKaren?'' Karen looked confused. 
                 Then she shook her head, ''Nevermind... I have brought you something
           to help brighten up your apartment. 
                 ''Oh, how sweet. And all this time, I thought you hated me,'' Julie smiled
           happily. 
                 ''Well, hate is a strong word... Let just say we parted on not so good
           terms... Come on, open the gift,'' Karen said smirking. 
                 ''Oh, boy, I can't wait to see what it is!'' Julie said ripping the box open. 
                 ''Oh, me either!' Karen smirked. 
                 ''A doll that looks like you... Hey, this is the doll, that I place in your
           locker. Karen Wexler, you are regifter!!'' Julie exclaimed. 
                 ''Oh, you finally remember the doll... . Funny on the day you confess
           your crimes to Garcia, that little incident slipped your mind. Why was that,
           Julie?'' Karen said coldly. 
                 ''I have no idea..'' Julie said shrugging her shoulder. 
                 ''How about we reenact that day with Garcia?'' Rachel said interrupting
           the conservation as she opened the door. 
                 ''No, thank you. The reason I didn't confess to Garcia was that little
           incident was a nothing more than a harmless practical joke.... Go away
           Rachel, we don't need you!'' Julie said angrily then pushed her out the door. 
                 Then she turned her attention to Karen and said calmly. ''I would never
           kill you during the good old days of General Homicide, Karen. I was so
           touched when you asked me to be your maid of honor, that I thought you
           deserved to live. Karen, you need to lighten up about this joke!'' 
                 ''Lighten up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a death threat to me... I had nightmares for
           weeks because of it,'' Karen said angrily. 
                 ''Karen. I know you did.... I was there, remember. You couldn't stop
           whinning about it when we worked together at GH.. Was it any wonder, that
           I had to go to Luke for a drink every night after I listened to you all day
           long!!! Next time, you have a problem go to Scott!'' Julie said looking
           annoyed. 
                 ''Like he has time for me... The only daughter he cares about is
           Serena!!!'' Karen said angrily. 
                 ''I have a suggestion to get rid of Scott permantely.. How about you stab
           him in the heart? It worked for me wonderfully,'' Julie smirked. 
                 ''Julie, I don't want him to be murdered. I just want him to pay attention
           to me... ...Anyways, you are changing the subject... I want you to apologize
           for the threat you made to me!!!'' Karen demanded. 
                 ''Joke, Karen. It was a joke... Therefore I won't apologize for a threat I
           didn't say,'' Julie said playing with a doll on the table. 
                 ''And I was insulted that you killed Jake with a rope. You had no right to
           use Kevin's method for my death on Jake. Couldn't you idiots follow the
           book for your murders,'' Karen said shaking her head. 
                 ''Cooper couldn't remember how Jake was murdered in Kevin's book. So
           he borrowed your death scene. I didn't think you get so ticked off about it,
           Be grateful, you are alive and not six feet under,'' Julie said rolling her eyes. 
                 ''I am grateful. However, you could of chosen to eliminate someone else,
           like Jason Morgan.. Jake was hot, how could you just hang him... I could
           been dating Jake by now instead being alone. Thanks alot Julie!'' Karen said
           sarcastically. 
                 ''Jake was a idiot. He rejected me when I asked him out on date,'' Julie
           said angrily. 
                 ''What about Frank?'' Karen asked. 
                 ''Julie was dating Frank. However Marcia wasn't and she wanted to date
           Jake. However he rejected me, I mean Marcia, at the Nurses Ball. He paid
           dearly for saying no to me!'' Julie chuckled evily. 
                 Julie paused then continued, ''Then I used a lame excuse to get Cooper
           to agree to my plan. You must admit my final act in the nurses ball was a
           hit.'' 
                 ''Unlike that number you sang with Eve. That really stunk, Julie,'' Karen
           chuckled. 
                 Julie glared coldly at her and, ''Shut up Karen!! Atleast I am not a
           former drug addict who was allowed to be a doctor. How long we will it be
           before you start giving into the pressure of being a resident and start poping
           those pills again. You know what they say, once a drug addict, always a drug
           addict!'' 
                 ''How about this one, Julie. Once a killer, always a killer,'' Karen said
           taunting her. 
                 ''You have a good point. Karen I do feel like strangling someone right
           now. I think your neck will do. And this time I am threatening you! Julie said
           angrily. 
                 ''Guard, !!,'' Karen said nervously as she knocked loudly on the door. 
                 The door swung open and Karen ran out of the room quickly.Julie just
           laughed and picked up the doll of the table. 
                 Then she shook her head and said, ''I never thought in a million years
           that Karen would be a Regifter. You think you know a person and this
           happens!!'' 

                 The End  

                 Chapter 32-Halloween Night 
                 Ferncliff 
                 Julie's Room 
                 October 31, 1999 
                 8pm 

                 Julie was sleeping on her rocking chair, when she suddenly heard a faint
           noise of someone pounding loudly on her door. She ignored it and continued
           to sleep. Then the loud pounding on the door grew louder, thus giving Julie a
           headache. 
                 She finally had enough and yelled from her chair, ''Who is it?'' 
                 ''Trick or Treat!'' the voices shouted. 
                 ''Trick or Treat! Is it Halloween already!?'' Julie wondered as she walked
           toward her door. 
                 She knocked on the door and the door opened quickly. To her
           amazement, Neil and Serena were at her door and were wearing costumes. 
                 ''Trick or Treat,'' Serena said holding out a big orange garbage bags. 
                 Then Neil and Serena began to sing, 

                 *Sing to tune of Jingle Bells* 

                 Dashing through the streets, 
                 Meeting goblins as we go, 
                 Wearing contour sheets, 
                 Wishing it would snow.  

                 Bells in doorways ring, 
                 Making spirits bright, 
                 What fun it is to come and sing 
                 And get some food tonight. Trick or treat, trick or treat, 
                 Trick or treat we say! 
                 Try to get the treats before 
                 The ghost takes us away!  

                 Trick or treat, trick or treat, 
                 Trick or treat we say! 
                 If you don't have treats for us 
                 We'll never go away! 

                 ''Well, what a cute song! Now take a hike!'' Julie growled. 
                 ''We want our candy!!'' Neil smiled holding out his bag as well. 
                 ''Who are you supposed to be?'' Julie asked ignoring his question. 
                 ''Duh! Serena and I, are characters from Star Trek, The Next Generation.
           I am Captain Picard and Serena is a Borg. Haven't you ever watched Star
           Trek, the Next Generation?'' Neil asked looking disappointed. 
                 ''I have checked out that show once or twice. Star Trek, the Next
           Generation is second rate compared to the brillance of Star Wars.!'' Julie
           said angrily. 
                 ''Well, excuse me...... I didn't come here to debate which movie was
           better, Devlin!... I just want my candy! Give it to me now!'' Neil order. 
                 ''Yeah, hand it over or we will sing another song!'' Serena threatened. 
                 ''Look you little brats. Leave me alone! Why don't you don't you go and
           harass Stefan Cassadine with your little songs? I'm sure Count Vlad has tons
           of candy at his mansion!'' Julie said sounding annoyed. 
                 ''We already been there. Stefan said something to us but we couldn't
           understand one word that he said. So, we left with nothing,'' Neil said
           sounding discouraged. 
                 ''Well, tough! I have no candy!!!! I don't exactly have the privileges to
           running to Walmart for the Halloween goodies like most normal people!''
           Julie said angrily. 
                 ''Oh, Julie, you are such a liar!! I know for a fact that Dr. Rimmer gave
           all the mental patience's some Halloween candy,'' Serena said calmly. 
                 ''Oh, really. Who told you that?'' Julie asked suspiciously. 
                 ''Your lawyer Lee Baldwin, my Grandpa!'' Serena said confidently. 
                 ''Drat! I knew I should of fired that attorney months ago!'' Julie said
           angrily. 
                 ''Share the wealth, Devlin!'' Neil said smugly holding his bag out! 
                 ''Forget it Neil! Those mini chocolate bars are mine! Touch them and you
           die like your old man did last Halloween!'' Julie threatened. 
                 ''Didn't you plan to kill Joe, my current father? But you goofed and
           accidentally murdered the guy who I once thought was my father!'' Neil
           asked casually. 
                 ''Joe is your father? I didn't know that! Wow that Courtney gets around..
           How do you feel about it?'' Julie said shocked. 
                 ''I hate it, I'm stuck with a father who mumbles all day long. Thanks alot
           Julie, for killing the only father that I have ever loved,'' Neil said
           sarcastically! 
                 ''I'm sorry, Neil. I feel really bad that John died instead of Joe. As a
           serial murderer I pried myself on perfecting my craft. Imagine my horror,
           when I discovered my mistake at Matt and Ellen's Halloween party. It was
           too late, unfortunately'' Julie sighed shaking her head. 
                 ''Well, this is your chance to make amends to Neil by giving us your
           candy. He has never recovered from the loss!'' Serena said tearfully. 
                 ''Halloween will be forever tainted as I remember my mom wearing my
           dad's....er John's blood on her nun's costume!'' Neil said with tears in his
           eyes. 
                 ''If only I hadn't screwed up, you would have the father you loved, not
           some idiot who mumbles,'' Julie cried. 
                 Then Julie wiped a tear steaming from her face, and pulled a pumpkin
           container from her closet. 
                 ''Have it all!'' Julie said as she poured the candy into Serena and Neil's
           bag. 
                 ''Thank you Julie,'' Serena beamed, ''You are not bad as the rest of Port
           Charles thinks.'' 
                 ''Julie, I might not be thrilled that you wreck my Halloween last year but
           this year, you truly made up for it!'' Neil smiled. 
                 Julie grinned, ''My pleasure, thank you for giving me a second chance.. If
           only all my visitors were as sweet as you!'' 
                 ''Well, Neil and I have to go. My Dad is waiting for us,'' Serena said
           quickly then knocked loudly on the door. 
                 Then her and Neil ran out her door quickly, slamming the door loudly. 
                 ''What sweet kids!! Too bad they have such idiotic parents or otherwise I
           would of invite them back to visit me!'' Julie remarked as she returned to her
           rocking chair 
                 Inside the elevator, Neil and Serena were laughing wickedly. 
                 Then Serena smiled and said, ''Well, Neil, we conned that loony to giving
           us all her candy. 
                 ''And we fooled her so easily. Like I would ever forgive her killing my
           dad, er I mean, this guy I once knew,'' Neil said coldly. 
                 ''And if wasn't for your Uncle Frank and Chris training us to be a
           successful con artists, Julie would seen completely through our act,'' Serena
           remarked. 
                 ''Yes, Frank is the greatest and Chris is cool too. I wish Rank was my
           father instead that mumbling idiot Joe,'' Neil complained. 
                 ''Well, maybe someday you get your wish.... Anyways, what on the
           agenda next?'' Serena asked. 
                 ''Oh, I have big plans next for us. We are going to con the Quartermaines
           into giving us ELQ stock instead of chocolate bars. Come on Serena, Frank
           is waiting!'' Neil smirked. 
                 ''This is the best Halloween ever!'' Serena exclaimed as the elevator
           opened. 
             
             
             
             

                 A half hour later 
             

                 Julie stared out her window and stared at the empty plastic pumpkin
           container where her candy once was. 
                 Julie eye's twinkled, then she spoke quietly to herself, ''Oh, I will receive
           some more candy tonight.... The Great Pumpkin will be by tonight to give me
           some more treats. I hope he brings me more mini chocolate bars... After all, I
           have been a good insane serial killer this year!''

                 Luke's 
                 September 15, 1999 
                 3pm 

                 YOU ARE SO DEAD, LUCY COE!! 
                 FROM YOUR FAVORITE KILLER, 
                 JULIE 

                 ''You did the right thing by showing me this note!'' Luke said looking at
           Lucy with much concern. 
                 ''Luke, I don't like this insane brainwashed killer trying to threaten my
           life. I want you to take care of her now!'' Lucy demanded. 
                 ''Ask, and you shall receive,'' Luke smirked as he grabbed his keys off
           the counter. 
                 Then he ran out of Luke's, while Lucy jumped on a bar stool. 
                 She grinned wickedly, ''No one threatens Lucy Coe and gets away with it!
           Thank goodness I have my best friend, Luke to take care of that crazy Julie!''

             
             

                 Ferncliff 
                 Visitor's Room 
                 4pm 
             

                 ''Who is my visitor today?'' Julie asked Dr. Rimmer. 
                 ''The gentlemen said you would know him. So no need for introduction!''
           Dr. Rimmer replied. 
                 ''Well, let my good buddy inside then,'' Julie said sarcastically. 
                 ''Certainly, Julie!'' Dr. Rimmer said as he knocked on the door and left
           the room. 

                 A minute later 

                 Julie sat at the table drinking a glass of water as the door opened slowly.
           A confident Luke Spencer entered the room, waving a piece of paper in his
           hands. 
                 ''How dare you threaten Lucy Coe, Miss Devlin. You won't get away with
           this!'' he yelled loudly. 
                 Then he shoved the note paper infront of her, ''Deny this, you psycho
           babe!'' 
                 Julie picked up the noted and smiled, ''I am not trying to deny anything.
           I wrote that note with my very best crayon.'' 
                 ''Leave Miss Coe alone or else!'' he threatened. 
                 ''Or else what? Is Lucy too much of coward to face me that she had to
           send her bodyguard after me. And I resent that lie you used to get me in here
           that you claiming that I knew you! Next time, announce who are you before
           come in'' 
                 ''It's not a lie. Come on, think! You know who I am!'' he grinned. 
                 Julie stared at him for a minute and looked puzzled, ''Wait a minute.
           Weren't you here with those famous ghostbusters, Laura and Lucky.'' 
                 ''Yes, I was. Now, tell me who I am,'' he asked smiling. 
                 Julie snapped her fingers, ''I know, Your name is Bill Eckert and you
           assisted Laura and Lucky with their ghostbusting!'' 
                 ''Bill Eckert!! I don't look like him at all! And besides, he has been dead
           for years!'' Luke exclaimed,''Try again!'' 
                 Julie thought again and said,''Victor Newman!'' 
                 ''No!!!!! Victor is a soap opera character, you idiot!!'' Luke yelled. 
                 ''Then you must be John Black!!'' Julie grinned 
                 ''No, Julie!!! You have been wasting too much time watching those stupid
           soaps. I have a newsflash for you. They are only ficticious character
           protrayed by actors!..... Why don't I make it real easy for you... My name is
           Luke Spencer? Now, certainly you know who I am now!'' Luke said
           confidently. 
                 Julie had a totally blank look on her face and shook her head, ''Sorry, I
           still don't know who are you, except for being Lucy Coe's friend!'' 
                 ''But you and former boyfriend, Frank, used hang out at my club. It is
           named after me... I'm Luke! Remember I used to serve you your favorite
           cheese fries!'' Luke smiled. 
                 ''No, that was Claude. He was such a nice hostess!'' Julie said warmly. 
                 ''It was me! It was me!'' Luke protested, ''Take a good look. You have to
           know my face. Everybody in town knows who I am!'' 
                 ''My, My!! Aren't you conceited. Next thing, you will be saying that you
           have saved the world from a evil madman!'' Julie said sarcastically. 
                 ''I did, with the help of Robert Scorpio and Laura. We stopped the
           Cassadines from freezing the world!'' Luke said proudly. 
                 Julie started laughing. ''You expect me to believe that Cassadines were
           going to make us all ice cubes. Come on I have read better Sci Fiction novels
           than your crazy tale!'' 
                 ''Crazy!! Look who am I talking too...Fine, don't believe me. I am most
           famous man in Port Charles. I used to be mayor of this great city!! And my
           wedding to Laura was the best social event that Port Charles ever had. And
           finally, you must have heard of my feud with the Cassadine Family!'' Luke
           bragged. 
                 ''Look, you have told me your name. Am I supposed to faint at your
           presence every time you enter a room...... And for your information, I can
           threaten Miss Coe anytime I want and there is nothing you can do stop me!
           Julie chuckled evilly. 
                 ''Yes, I can.. And the next time you attempted to threaten Lucy Coe, you
           will learn to fear the name of Luke Spencer!'' Luke said coldly. 
                 ''And why is that?'' Julie asked looking amused. 
                 ''Because I am Luke Spencer, dammit!! Everyone knows I will do
           anything in my power to protect the people that I care about!'' Luke said in a
           chilling voice. 
                 ''By bragging how famous you are. Yep, knowing your name now has
           really put the fear into me!'' Julie said sarcastically. 
                 ''You will be scared. Trust me!'' Luke said calmly. 
                 Then he knocked on the door and departed the room. 
                 Once outside, Luke shook his head and said, ''I can't believe Julie Devlin
           doesn't know who I am. I'm Luke Spencer. I'm unforgettable!!!!'' 
             
 
 

             

                 Meanwhile Julie started to laugh loudly in the visitor's room. 
                 Then she smiled and spoke, ''I know who you are Mr. Luke Spencer but
           you don't have to know that!'' 
                 Then she smirked and poured herself a glass of water. 
                 The End 
             
             

           Thanksgiving 
           Ferncliff 
           Julie's Room 
           Thanksgiving 1999 
           1:30pm 
             

           Julie sat on her bed, waiting for the guard to take her to the Thanksgiving
           meal at the cafeteria. 
           She was excited because she could actually eat with the other patients instead
           of eating alone in her room for once. 
           ''And I will be a real celebrity there unlike the rest of loony patients here!''
           Julie said smugly to herself. 
           Suddenly Julie smiled to herself, ''Atleast I don't have to go the Scanlons for
           their stupid Thanksgiving meal and sing along.'' 
           Suddenly the door knocked and guard entered and walked Julie to the
           cafeteria. 
             
             
             
             

           Ferncliff 
           The Cafeteria 
           2:30 pm 
             

           ''That was some terrific meal. Can I have some more pumpkin pie?'' Julie
           asked as she sat at her table alone in the cafeteria. 
           ''No, you can't. Each person here is only allowed one slice. Please leave the
           cafeteria, the rest of the staff wants to clean up,'' the luncheon lady replied. 
           ''But I am Julie Devlin ... I am not just any insane person here at Ferncliff....
           And I am not leaving till you give me another slice!'' Julie threatened. 
           ''Julie! That is enough!'' a voice yelled. 
           Julie turned her head around and groaned, ''Rachel! What in the hell are you
           doing here?'' 
           ''Julie, I thought we might spend Thanksgiving Day together. Sorry I was
           late, but I had dinner at the Quartermaines this afternoon. Strange people,
           apparently they like to have pizza for their meal,'' Rachel said shaking her
           head. 
           Then she brought her plate of Ferncliff thanksgiving meal and proceeded to
           join Julie at her table. 
           ''Pizza??'' Julie looked puzzled, ''Nevermind..I don't want to know. Just go
           away, Rachel!'' 
           ''Julie, today I thought we could spend Thanksgiving together. I hate for you
           to be alone today!'' Rachel said sadly. 
           ''I am not alone. Don't you see all these loony people in this room. Just
           before you came her, I was talking to Batman. He was telling me that he
           might have to leave dinner early incase he was signaled by the Police
           Commissor!'' Julie said smiling. 
           ''Julie, today is a day you need to be with friends. It is important that you
           gave thanks for your many blessing today!'' Rachel said as she buttered her
           bun with her plastic knife. 
           ''Grateful! I am locked in Ferncliff for the rest of my life!! What is so
           wonderful about that?'' Julie yelled. 
           ''Julie, you could be serving a life sentence in Pentinville instead of Ferncliff.
           You really are very lucky that you have me as a your doctor!'' Rachel said
           pleasantly. 
           ''Yes, I am really lucky,'' Julie said sarcastically. 
           ''Julie, Don't let that idiot treat you!'' Kevin shouted as he entered the room
           with Victor. 
           ''Hi Kevin,'' Julie said casually. 
           ''Hello Julie!'' Victor smirked. 
           ''Victor, if it wasn't for you interfering in my life. I would be a resident at
           General Hospital instead a mental case at Ferncliff right now,'' Julie said
           coldly. 
           ''Now, Now, Julie. You need to forgive Victor. It was your fault you landed
           in here because you killed all these people!'' Rachel said strongly. 
           ''Forgive Victor! The day I do that is when pig flies!'' Julie laughed. 
           ''Why are you here, Victor and Kevin? To harass Julie!'' Rachel said angrily. 
           ''No, we aren't. We are part of Ferncliff Thanksgiving program today. In fact,
           I will be playing my accordion!'' Victor said proudly. 
           ''Oh, goody! Is your lovely wife coming also!'' Julie said sarcastically. 
           ''Why yes, she is. By the way, where are the rest of the patients?'' Victor
           asked. 
           ''You missed them. They ate already and have returned to their room. So
           there is no need to have a Thanksgiving Program,'' Julie smiled. 
           ''It doesn't matter, Julie. All the Scanlons are here and eager to perform!.
           Even if it you are the only member in the audience,'' Victor said excitedly. 
           ''Excellent. I know that Julie will enjoy the show!'' Rachel smiled. 
           ''Stop speaking for me!'' Julie yelled. 
           ''I am out of here if they are singing. It was tortured enough hearing it a few
           years ago. I actually had to pretend to like Karen's act when she did that
           stupid Irish Jig!'' Julie said rolling her eyes. 
           ''Hey, I heard that!'' Karen shouted as she entered the room with Joe, Neil,
           Frank, Lark, Mary, Chris, Eve, Matt, Ellen, Courtney, and Lucy. 
           ''Oh, boy, the whole gang is here!'' Julie said sarcastically. 
           ''Julie, now be on your best behavior. After all, you owe me a nice
           thanksgiving after you ruined mine last year!'' Frank said angrily. 
           ''You mean when I shot you in the leg,'' Julie chuckled. 
           Frank gave her a cold look and said, ''I spent my day in jail visiting you
           when I could have dinner with my family. But you know what I am glad I
           did, otherwise my family would of died of your special recipe of poisoned
           plum pudding!'' 
           ''Well, believe me. I regret telling you now,'' Julie said groaned. 
           ''Oh, well, Julie. Since you messed with my dessert. I messed with yours!''
           Lark said grinning. 
           Julie glanced at her empty pie plate and gasped in horror. 
           ''What did you do Lark!'' Julie asked looking ill. 
           ''Oh, I added coconut to the whipped cream!'' Lark said smugly. 
           ''I am hate coconut. I can't believe I ate it. And it is all your fault, Frank!''
           Julie yelled. 
           ''My fault! Why?'' Frank asked puzzled. 
           ''You adopted this brat. And if she wasn't around, she never would of finger
           me as the General Homicide Murderer! After that, no one would believe I
           was innocent'' Julie said angrily. 
           ''Julie, you and Greg were the guilty party,'' Matt said coldly. 
           ''I know, but Lark should of minded her own business!'' Julie objected. 
           ''Julie, leave Lark alone...I believed that you were innocent but then I was
           pretty gullible back then,'' Frank said sarcastically. 
           ''But I always knew you were the General Homicide Murderer! Victor
           laughed. 
           ''Yes, I you did. And after Kevin and Eve figured out that I was the killer I
           could no longer keep my secret identity as the General Homicide Killer,''
           Julie said sounding annoyed. 
           ''Julie, you and your secret identity! Give me a break... You aren't Wonder
           Woman, trying to save mankind!'' Lucy laughed. 
           ''Shut up, Shut up! Or you will be receiving another death threat soon!'' Julie
           said angrily. 
           ''You leave Lucy alone or else,'' Kevin threatened. 
           ''Or else, you will stalk me!'' Julie laughed. 
           ''I will make sure you end up in solitaire for the entire month!'' Kevin said in
           a chilling tone. 
           ''Solitaire. Sorry, Kevin, you can't do it. We need Julie around whenever we
           have our tour guides,'' Frank protested. 
           ''Yes, Julie is the most important part of our tour,'' Joe mumbled. 
           ''What did Joe say?'' Kevin and Rachel both asked puzzled. 
           ''Something I think.... Just ignore him. That's what I usually do,'' Lark
           whispered. 
           ''I will certainly do that,'' Kevin commented. 
           ''Ok, Lark, Will do!'' Rachel replied 
           ''I thought you left, Rachel!'' Julie said sounding irritated. 
           ''No, I am not going anywhere, Julie. I am one who arranged the Scanlon
           Thanksgiving program to come here to Ferncliff. I thought it would be good
           for you to be surrounded many familiar faces on Thanksgiving!'' Rachel
           smiled. 
           ''Gee Rachel, thanks. I will think of you when I lose the rest of my appetite
           during the Karen's Irish Jig number!'' Julie groaned. 
           ''It can't be any worse than your singing at the nurse ball!'' Karen sneered. 
           ''Hey, I was in that number too. And I saved that number,'' Eve bragged. 
           ''Eve, you sucked big time. I had to put ear plugs in so I wouldn't hear the
           both of you!'' Frank shuddered as he recalled. 
           ''Frank, you were my boyfriend. You told me that I was terrific!'' Julie
           exclaimed. 
           ''I lied so I wouldn't hurt your feelings!'' Frank smirked. 
           Julie looked hurt then Matt asked quickly, ''How about someone start the
           first number of the show?'' 
           ''I have the first number,'' Chris smiled. 
           He nodded to Courtney and she started to play the piano. Then he grabbed
           the microphone and started to sing. 

           PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
           And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei, 
           Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal PUFF 
           and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. 

           CHORUS 
           Oh! PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
           And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei, 
           PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
           And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei 
             

           ''Boo, Boo! Hiss Hiss! My mother could sing better than that!!'' Julie yelled
           interrupting the number. 
           ''Julie, be quiet. Or you will be forced to eat at the Kiddy Table!'' Rachel said
           loudly pointing toward where Serena, Scott, and Neil sat. 
           Julie turned red and said nothing more. 
           ''Now for the next number, Victor will be playing 
           The Turkey in the Straw on his accordion,'' Rachel announced. 
           As Victor began playing his number, Julie noticed something in his arms. 
           She gasped then yelled, ''Victor, that turkey is going to attack you!'''' 
           Then she ran toward Victor and tackled the accordion from his hands. She
           began stomping on the accordion until she had destroyed it.'' 
           ''Victor, now that I save your life. You own me favor,'' Julie smiled. 
           ''You trashed my accordion, I have had it since I was child! I owe you
           nothing!'' Victor said angrily. 
           ''Accordion?? I only saw a turkey in your arms, Victor. Perhaps you need to
           make a eye appointment,'' Julie suggested. 
           ''Guard, why don't you take Julie to her room. She obviously needs some
           rest,'' Rachel suggested. 
           ''Julie, there is no turkey. You only thought you saw one,'' Kevin said gently.

           ''Why would I take advice from you? You talk to your dead twin in your
           mirror,'' Julie sneered. 
           ''That enough Julie! You will be nice to Dr. Collins'' Karen said angrily. 
           ''Karen, you are the last person to tell me what to do. How you managed to
           be a doctor, Karen, I heard you were a wonderful drug addicted stripper at
           the Paradise Club. Why did you give that up?!'' Julie said coldly. 
           ''Hey, leave my daughter alone!'' Scott shouted from the kiddy table. 
           ''I am not bothering Serena,'' Julie asked looking puzzled. 
           ''I meant Karen, my other daughter!'' Scott clarified himself. 
           ''You have another daughter,'' Julie said being shocked. 
           ''That's how I feel some days,'' Karen muttered to herself. 
           ''Julie, you are changing the subject. You need rest, obviously all these
           visitors are way too much for you,'' Rachel said in a soothing voice. 
           ''Oh no, the turkey is attacking Neil now,'' Julie yelled as Neil was picking up
           the accordion off the floor. 
           ''Guards! Take her to her room now!!'' Rachel yelled. 
           Suddenly the two guards grabbed a screaming Julie and proceeded to
           dragged her out of the cafeteria. 
           Afterwards Kevin looked at Rachel and remark, ''I can see you are really
           helping Julie with your therapy.'' 
           ''Shut Kevin! At least, I didn't get fired by Julie!'' Rachel snapped. 
           ''Oh, Rachel. Your turn will come!'' Kevin chuckled. 
           ''Well, since Julie is gone. Why don't we finish the program at the Scanlon
           House!'' Lucy suggested. 
           ''Excellent idea. I have a Irish poem I want to read,'' Mary said excitedly. 
           ''Well, then let's go. Everyone follow me, except Rachel,'' Frank smiled as he
           headed toward the back door of the building. 
           Then Lucy, Kevin, Frank, Courtney, Neil, Joe, Eve, Victor, Mary, Matt, Neil,
           and Serena followed him outside. 
           Meanwhile a fuming Rachel was sitting at a table by herself. 
           She got up and said to herself, ''Well, I didn't want to go to the stupid
           Scanlon Thanksgiving Program anyways!'' 
           Then Rachel stormed out the cafeteria and slammed the door hard. 
             
             
             
             

           Ferncliff 
           Julie's Room 
           5pm 

           Julie lied on her bed in a straight jacket and hadn't spoken a word since she
           entered her room a few hours ago. 
           Finally she smiled and said to herself, ''Surely, they have caught that loose
           mean turkey by now.'' 
           Then she closed her eyes and proceeded to fall asleep.
