Ferncliff Chronicles
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!!!''

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!''
The End
Chapter 33-The Threat
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.

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.
