''Happy
Birthday, Julie!!'' Garcia exclaimed as Julie entered the room
''Garcia!''
They didn't tell me you were my visitor! I am so happy to see
you!''
Julie exclaimed giving him a hug.
''Well,
I wanted to keep my visit a surprise for your birthday. How was your
manicure
today?'' Garcia asked.
''Wonderful!
You know, I never would of thought that a mental institution
would
provide best manicure in Port Charles. But they do!'' Julie said
admiring
her nails.
''Well,
whatever,'' Garcia said rolling his eyes, ''Why don't you come to your
room for
a surprise!''
''A surprise!
Why don't we head to my apartment now!!'' Julie said excitedly.
''Dr.
Rimmer!'' Garcia shouted.
The door
swung open and Dr. Rimmer entered.
He said,
''Follow me, Birthday girl!!''
Then he
and two guards escorted Julie and Garcia to her room. Once there,
Dr. Rimmer
opened the door and Julie gasped.
''I can't
believe you decorated my room with balloons, streamers, and this
happy
birthday banner!!'' Julie exclaimed with happiness in her voice.
''Yes,
I did. You deserve nothing less for your birthday. And I have two more
surprises
for you also! Turn around!!'' Garcia smiled.
Julie
turned around and saw a guard bringing a birthday cake on a cart that
had been
already cut up.
''Oh,
how sweet. You have all of my General Homicide Victims decorated on
a chocolate
cake!'' Julie smiled giving Garcia a quick kiss on cheek.
''I knew
you would like my choice for the cake. Everybody loves chocolate!''
Garcia
grinned.
''Blow
out the candles, Julie!'' Dr. Rimmer said excitedly.
Then Julie
blew them all out then took out the candles.
''Gentlemen!
Please have a piece of cake and some of punch!'' Julie insisted.
''All
right! We will!'' Garcia and Dr. Rimmer said cheerfully.
Then they
all headed toward the table and selected a piece of cake as well as
some punch.
A half
hour later
Julie's
Room
''This
is the best birthday that I ever had in my life. I loved the chocolate
cake,
so delicious...... But you said there was two surprises for me. You only
gave me
one surprise, where is the other one?'' Julie asked as she took a
drink
out of her punch.
''It is
here right now!'' Garcia said.
Suddenly
the door knocked, and Juan walked in the room carrying his
guitar.
Happy Birthday
to you
Happy
Birthday to you
Happy
Birthday, dear Julie!
Happy
Birthday to you!
And many
more!!
''What
do you think, girlfriend? I'm sure the record company will be signing
me up
any minute now!'' Juan bragged.
''More
like stringing you up!'' Julie muttered.
''Great,
Just lovely, Juan!'' Garcia said as he started to grind his teeth.
Then he
muttered to himself, ''I am going to kill that Taggert!!! He said
Juan's
singing was perfect for Julie's birthday. That liar, he set me up!''
''What
did you say?'' Dr. Rimmer asked.
''Taggert
said that Juan sucks! Get him out here now, Dr. Rimmer!'' Julie
whispered.
Dr. Rimmer
spoke up ''Juan...''
''You
want me to sing another number. I can certainly do that!'' Juan said
eagerly.
Then brought
out his guitar and started to sing loudly.
It's not
unusual to be loved by anyone
It's not
unusual to have fun with anyone
but when
I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not
unusual to see me cry,
oh I wanna'
die
''You are
going to get your wish right now!'' Julie yelled.
Then she
started to strangle him, and shouted, ''You are the worst singer that
I ever
heard in my life! You are dreaming if you think anyone is going to
offer
you a contract!!''
''But
Taggert said I was really good!'' Juan gasped out.
''He lied.
He hates my guts! And he sent you to torture me on my own
birthday!''
Julie yelled.
''That
can't be true!'' Juan managed to gasp out again.
''It is,
Juan!! Taggert was grinning like a fool, when he suggested you as a
singer
for Julie's big bash! That jerk, he ruined Julie's birthday on purpose!''
Garcia
said angrily.
''It wasn't
your fault, Garcia. How were you supposed to know that Taggert
really
hated Julie so much!'' Dr. Rimmer commented.
''Would
you stop worry about poor sweet Julie? Can't you see I am being
strangle
by her, you idiots!'' Juan gasped out again.
''Sorry,
Juan!'' Garcia exclaimed, ''Dr. Rimmer, please help me out!''
Then the
men pulled Julie quickly off Juan, and threw her on the bed.
Then Garica
yelled, ''Get the Hell out of here, Juan! And don't ever come
back!''
''Oh,
I can guarantee he won't!'' A man interrupted as he walked into the
room.
''Who
are you?'' Dr. Rimmer asked.
''I am
Juan's father.... Juan....you are going home to Puerto Rico now!'' He
ordered
loudly.
''But
dad!'' Juan whined.
''Shut
up, Juan!'' Juan's father yelled.
Then he
grabbed Juan by the ear and dragged him out of the room.
''Well,
since that annoying boy left, why don't enjoy the rest of my birthday
party!''
Julie smiled as she got off the bed.
''Happy
Birthday, Julie!!'' Both men said grinning.
''And
if Juan ever comes back singing again. I definitely enjoy killing him!''
Julie
muttered
''What
did you say?'' Garcia and Dr. Rimmer asked.
''Nothing........Thank
you both for a wonderful birthday, I promise I will
never
forget it!'' Julie smiled evilly

''Luke,
I hope you aren't cooking dinner this evening?'' Alexis asked
smirking
as she sat down by him.
''No!
Bobbie won't let me since I started that small fire last week.........And
I
am having
supper here tonight because Laura is at a Avon party. What are
you doing
here? Shouldn't you be out with Ned?'' Luke asked with his eyes
twinkling.
''No,
Ned is away on business. I am waiting for Stefan. We are on our way to
see Julie
Devlin at Ferncliff this evening,'' Alexis remarked.
''Oh,
So your brother, the undead, is going to see that demon Julie!'' Luke
laughed.
''Luke!!!!
That's enough, I don't want you insulting my brother in my
presence....
I am going to wait outside for him!'' Alexis exclaimed.
''Say
hi to Count Vlad from me!'' Luke said smirking.
Alexis
ignored him and headed out the door. Then Luke continued to eat his
chili.
Suddenly
Luke felt someone taping his shoulder and he turned around to a
blond
long hair girl staring at him.
''Hi!
Sorry to bother you. My name is Buffy and I wonder if could you give
me directions
to Ferncliff!'' she asked pleasantly.
''Oh,
sure. Let me get you a map, first...By the way, why are you heading to
that insane
place?'' Luke asked with curiosity.
''Oh,
Let just say I have some unfinished business there!'' Buffy said
mysteriously.
''Alright,
here is the map,'' Luke said handing her the pamphlet.
''Thanks.
By the way, what you can tell me about Stefan Cassadine,'' Buffy
asked
smiling.
''Alot,
Sit down. This might take a while,'' Luke said as he pulled her out a
chair.
''Take
all the time you want,'' Buffy grinned.
Luke smirked
and ''Once upon a time....''

The Visitor's
Room

''I demand
to know what is your association with my mother. I know for a
fact,
that you have met many months ago. If you help me bring her down, I
have the
power to make things much easier for you here at Ferncliff. But if
you don't,
thing will get much more difficult for you, Julie. And that isn't a
threat,
it is a promise,'' Stefan threatened.
Julie
had a blank look on her face and said nothing.
''She
is in shock, I think it is because you aren't using difficult words like
you
did last
time!'' Alexis explained.
''That's
because I didn't want Alexis to explain every word I said. I do want
to be
home by midnight,'' Stefan said sounding irritated.
''Good,
because I don't spend like wasting my time looking up those words
in a dictionary...As
for your threat Stefan, it means nothing to me. I have no
intention
of helping you bring down my friend, Helena... By the way, I could
strangle
you in a New York minute if I wanted to!'' Julie exclaimed loudly.
Stefan
ignored her then turned his attention to Alexis.
''Would
you mind leaving me and Dr. Devlin alone,'' Stefan said calmly.
''Sure.
I'll be outside. Scream, if you get attacked,'' Alexis smiled.
After
Alexis departed, Stefan coldly stared at her for a minute then replied,
''Julie,
my psycho mother raised me. And she is far more dangerous that you
ever were
when you walked the streets of Port Charles. So, Dr. Julie Devlin, I
don't
fear you at all... Now, tell what is your association with my mother!''
''She
is not telling you anything!'' a female voice yelled.
Stefan
turned around and was amazed to see a blond long hair girl in her
early
twenties walking toward him.
''Look,
whoever you are. Please leave before I call security!'' Stefan said
loudly.
''My name
is Buffy.... I am a Vampire Slayer and staying exactly where I
am....
Perhaps, you have heard of me, Stefan... I have been chosen to hunt
down vampires
and other deadly creatures. Now, your time as a vampire has
come to
an end!'' Buffy said as she played with her stake.
''Excuse
young lady, but I am not a vampire! Perhaps, you need some rest. I
can certainly
find you a room here in Ferncliff!'' Stefan said looking amused.
''Dr.
Rimmer is an excellent doctor. He would be more glad to help you,''
Julie
suggested.
''Julie!
Be quiet! I am talking to Stefan not you!!!!, Buffy yelled.
The she
became quiet and said calmly, ''My watcher, Giles, has trained me to
become
a vampire slayer. He has warned about ruthless, cold hearted
vampires
like you, Stefan!''
''Why
do you think Stefan is a vampire?'' Julie asked.
''Luke
Spencer told me all about Stefan. He has informed me how Stefan and
the rest
of Cassadine are nothing more than blood sucking vampires. He also
informed
me that is quite common for Cassadines to come back from the
dead!
And finally, people have only seen Stefan at night but never during the
day. Alexis
is the only one seen conducting Stefan's hospital business during
daylight
hours. So Stefan, are you still going to deny you are a vampire?''
Buffy
asked pointing her stake at him.
''Luke
Spencer was playing a cruel joke on you.. He is a liar and shouldn't be
trusted.
Buffy, I assure you that I am not a vampire!'' Stefan insisted.
''Well,
there is only one way to prove it!'' Buffy said thoughtfully.
''I have
no problem with strangling him. He deserves to die no matter if he a
vampire
or not!'' Julie volunteered eagerly.
''Julie!
Shut up! Let me take care of this!!'' Buffy shouted.
''Stefan,
why don't we take a walk up by that mirror!'' Buffy smirked.
Stefan
smiled and calmly said, ''Well, I should of known better trying to fool
the Vampire
Slayer. Oh well, Buffy, you may won the first round. tonight.
But your
luck has just ran out!''
Then he
opened his mouth and his fangs came out as he hungrily looked at
Buffy's
neck.
''Plans
are changing, Count Vlad!'' Buffy said.
Then she
tackled him to the floor and immediately plunged a stake several
times
into his heart. Stefan gasped, and turned to ashes right away.
''Yahoo!
Way to go, Buffy!'' Giles, Zander, Willow, Anya, Riley, and Spike
shouted
as they applaud loudly in the room.
''Who
let this people in!? Julie said puzzled.
''The
guards,'' Spike smirked.
''But
I never saw the door open!'' Julie sounding very confused.
''That's
because I distracted you when I killed Stefan. Now, you will die too!''
Buffy
said coldly.
Me! I
am only a harmless serial brainwashed murderer!'' Julie said
innocently.
''You
are the number one top demon in all of Port Charles. Julie, my gang
and I
will defeat you in seconds. So why don't you give up now!'' Buffy said
while
playing with her knife.
''No,
I won't. I am not a demon!'' Julie yelled outloud.
Then she
tried to escape from the Buffy and the group by running towards
the door.
But suddenly she slipped on the welcome mat and hit her head on
the door.
Suddenly, everything went black as her body hit the floor.
''Julie,
Julie! Wake up, you have had accident!'' The Nurse gently said.
''What?''
Julie asked groggily.
''You
were sleeping and was having a nightmare. Apparently, you must
slipped
off your bed and hit your head on the floor. We are now leaving with
the paramedics
to go to the nurses station in Ferncliff,'' the nurse explained
''Oh,
my head hurts so much! Julie groaned.
Then she
remember her nightmare and muttered to herself, ''Next time, I
won't
watch all of the 24 hours of the Buffy Vampire Marathon on the WB
Network.''
Then she
passed out on the gurney as paramedics left her room.

Ferncliff
Visitor's
Room
December
24, 1999
2:30pm
Karen stood
at the door of the Visitor's room, and hoped she made in time
to help
Julie. She had been at General Hospital working when she received
the phone
call from a frantic Julie
~~~~~~~~~A
hour ago at General Hospital~~~~~~~~~~
''Dr. Karen
Wexler, there is a phone call for you on line one,'' Nurse DeNeice
said.
''Thanks,''
Karen said picking up the phone.
''Hello,
this is Dr. Wexler speaking,'' Karen said pleasantly.
''Karen,
I need you to come to Ferncliff immediately!'' Julie demanded.
''Julie,
I'm quite busy. Can't this wait?'' Karen said irritated.
''Sure,
Karen, I can wait.. Oh by the way, if my appendix burst and I die, it
will be
all your fault!,'' Julie yelled then slammed down the pay phone.
Karen
stood in shock as she slowly put down the phone. She knew she had to
get to
Ferncliff in time to save Julie's life. She flung her clipboard at Joe
who
happened
to be walking by.
''I had
an emergency come up, Joe. I need you take care of my patients for
the rest
of afternoon!'' Karen ordered.
''Sure
why not, Karen. It's not like I have nothing better to do'' Joe
mumbled
sarcastically.
''Joe,
I don't have the time to figure out you are trying to say. Just take over
my cases,
Scanlon or else!'' Karen barked then ran to the elevator.
''I must
of been out of mind to want to marry that woman,'' Joe muttered
''Joe,
you really should take speech lessons then we all can understand you!''
DeNeice
observed.
''Shut
up, DeNeice!'' Joe yelled.
''Excellent,
Joe. When you put your mind to it, you can speak clearly,''
DeNeice
smirked.
Joe glared
at her coldly, said nothing, then headed toward the elevator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback
over~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karen looked
at her medical bag and hope she wasn't too late for Julie. She
nodded
to the guard and he let her inside the room.
A minute
later she entered, and saw Julie sitting at the table.
''Julie,
I came as fast I could. How are you feeling?'' Karen asked anxiously.
''Terrific!
I'm so glad you are here, Karen... I'm sorry, but I lied to you about
being
ill. I knew that was the only way you would come to visit me. I miss us
hanging
out like we used to. How about we watch some movies for the rest of
the afternoon?''
Julie suggested warmly.
''No!!!
You lied to me and said you were deadly ill in order to get me here to
Ferncliff!!!
Julie, in case you have forgotten, I am a very busy resident and
my life
is very hectic. I'm just lucky to have Christmas day off, so I can
spend
time with my family and friends,'' Karen said angrily.
''Speaking
of Christmas, Karen. Is anyone coming to visit you during the
holidays?''
Julie said excitedly.
''Oh,
my Mom is flying up from Canada this evening,'' Karen smiled
''Oh,
I don't care about your mom.... Who else?'' Julie grinned happily.
''Santa
Claus,'' Karen chuckled.
''Duh,
he comes every year with his stupid Reindeer, Karen.. Come on, I
know who
it is!! You don't have to keep him a secret anymore,'' Julie
smirked.
''Oh,
okay, I admit it. My special guest for Christmas dinner is Chris
Ramsey.
We have been dating secretly for months and plan to make our
relationship
public tomorrow,'' Karen glowed with happiness
''Karen,
I don't care about your love life... Quit stalling!! Why don't you just
admit
that Frosty, the Snowman is coming to your place for the holidays?''
Julie
demanded.
Karen
had a strange look on her face, then burst out laughing, ''Julie, Frosty
is just
a fictional character. He doesn't really exist.''
''You
liar!!! He has been your best friend ever since you were a child. In fact,
you, Frank,
Joe, and the neighborhood kids were there when Frosty first
came to
life! Maybe this song will bring back some memories,'' Julie said
mysteriously.
Suddenly
Julie hit the CD player on the table and a song began to play.
Frosty
the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a
corncob pipe and a button nose
and two
eyes made out of coal
Frosty
the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was
made of snow but the children
know how
he came to life one day
There
must have been some magic in that
old silk
hat they found
For when
they placed it on his head
he began
to dance around
O
Frosty
the snowman
was alive
as he could be
And the
children say he could laugh
and play
just the same as you and me
Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Look at
Frosty go
Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Over the
hills of snow
Frosty
the snowman knew
the sun
was hot that day
So he
said
''Let's
run and
we'll
have some fun
now before
I melt away
'' Down
to the village
with a
broomstick in his hand
Running
here and there all
around
the square saying
Catch
me if you can
He led
them down the streets of town
right
to the traffic cop
And he
only paused a moment when
he heard
him holler ''Stop!''
For Frosty
the snow man
had to
hurry on his way
But he
waved goodbye saying
''Don't
you cry
I'll be
back again some day
''Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Look at
Frosty go
Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Over the
hills of snow
''Karen,
doesn't that song bring back the good memories you had with
Frosty
as a child. I don't blame you for running off with Frosty, after your
mom made
Christmas miserable by being drunk. But if it wasn't for Frosty
quick
thinking, you would of froze to death on the way to the North Pole in
that railway
car. Karen, if it wasn't for the documentry I never would of
known
about your adventure with Frosty,'' Julie said gratefully as she shut
off the
CD player.
''The
person you saw on your TV, wasn't me but a cartoon character named
Karen,''
Karen said sounding amused.
''Karen,
give it up!!!!!!!! I have the video documentary to prove that you are
friends
with Frosty.... Now tell me, when is Frosty coming to visit you?'' Julie
said coldly.
Karen
stared at her amazement and realized Julie had flipped her lid again.
She knew
there was only thing to say, or Julie would never let her leave this
room alive.
''Frosty
visited me last night. We had the most enjoyable time playing in the
snow all
evening. He had to leave early in the morning, so he could help
Santa
deliver all the present tonight,'' Karen calmly lied
''Oh,
Oh'' Julie sounded disappointed, ''I'm sorry I missed him yesterday.
Perhaps
he is coming after Christmas?''
No, Julie,
he won't be returning. Frosty has prior commitments that will
keeps
him busy during the winter months. I'm just fortunate he made time
for me
during the busy Christmas season,'' Karen lied while trying not to
laugh.
''Well,
maybe next year, we can met,'' Julie said hopefully.
''Maybe
you can, Julie, I need to return work, or Joe will be whining to the
residents
about the workload I left him'' Karen complained as she knocked
on the
door.
''Don't
worry about Joe. Most of residents can't understand what the heck
Joe is
saying anyways.. Julie chuckled as she watched Karen open the door.
''Merry
Christmas, Julie,'' Karen smiled as she departed the visitor's room.
''Merry
Christmas, Karen,'' Julie said quietly as she took the CD out the CD
player.
''Julie,
are you ready to return to your room?'' the guard asked.
''Yes,
I am,'' Julie replied quickly.
Then she
grabbed her tape and whistled Frosty the Snowman as she walked
back with
the guards to her room.
Meanwhile
at the parking lot, Karen was chuckling loudly, ''Julie thinks
Frosty,
The Snowman is a real person. I swear that Julie gets crazier, and
crazier
every day.''
Ferncliff
A half
hour later
Julie's
Room
''Oh Frosty,
you are my hero!!!! If only I had got the courage up earlier to
ask Karen,
we could of met yesterday. But next year, we will met. We will
meet!''
Julie repeated with determination.
Then she
picked her glass of water and raised in the air, ''To Frosty!! Hope
you have
a Merry Christmas this Year!!''

11:45
pm
Julie was
watching Dick Clark's Rocking Eve quietly when she heard her
door slowly
open.
''Who
is it?'' Julie asked casually.
''Sonny
Corinthos!'' the voice boomed.
Julie
whipped around and her shock, the Port Charles Mobster was walking
toward
her.
''Where
are your goons?'' Julie asked nervously as she shut off the TV.
''Oh,
Johnny and What's his name are outside guarding the door....But
nevermind
about them, we have business to discuss,'' Sonny answered
coldly.
''Business!!
I don't work for your organization! Julie said puzzled.
''No,
you don't at the moment. But I have an employment opportunity for
you, Julie.
If you do well, you will join my wonderful organization.'' Sonny
smiled.
''Awesome,
what is this job?'' Julie asked cheerfully.
''Well,
for one million dollars, I will hired you to eliminate Joseph Sorel. He
is not
the sort of mobster we need in this town. Since the PCPD have been
unable
to convict this bad mobster, it is up to me to get rid of him. I don't
care how
you murder him, just do it. Poisons, guns, knifes, ropes, wrench,
golf clubs,
pencil, ball-point pen, crayons, I don't care. Anything you need is
at your
disposable, day or night, Julie. And I want you to frame Roy for the
murder,''
Sonny dictated.
''Why
Roy?'' Julie asked with curiosity.
''He is
a snitch for the FBI. We don't need a traitor like him around living in
town.
That man has no integrity!'' Sonny said in disgust.
''And
you do!!'' Julie chuckled.
Sonny
gave her a dirty look and ignored her comment.
He continued,
''Since you are a second rate murderer, I can't pay you the full
price
of two million dollars. I hope you understand that and will accept the
position.
''Second
Rate??? How dare you call me that. I am an excellent serial
killer!!!''
Julie said her voice shaking.
''Julie,
you rely on Greg Cooper advice for your General Homicide Murders.
It shows
to me that you have no incentive on your own to commit murder
and that
is why you are classified second rate. Pay for first rate murderer in
Port Charles
is two million, Second rate pay is one million. Third rate pay is
a gift
certificate from Walmart and dinner at Kelly's,'' Sonny explained.
''Then
I will prove that I'm first rate material by killing Sorel without Greg's
brainwashing..I
mean help. But one question? How will I escape out of
Ferncliff??''
Julie asked.
''Oh,
I will assign Jason to break you out if you accept this position,'' Sonny
replied
calmly.
''Jason,
that brain damaged idiot! You got to be kidding!!!! I would have
better
luck with PCPD breaking me out than him anyday!'' Julie said in
disgust.
''Jason
is reliable and loyal, he always does what he told to do,'' Sonny
stated.
''Just
like Lassie!'' Julie laughed.
Sonny
face turned red and he started to yell, ''How dare you mock
Jason?????
He is the greatest thing since sliced cheese, don't you know
that.''
''Oh,
please!!! Jason Morgan is overrated is this town and you know it..''
Julie
said rolling her eyes.
''That's
it!!!!!!!! I will not stand listening to you as you insult my best
friend....As
for my job offer, it doesn't exist anymore. I won't hire someone
who mocks
Jason Morgan! That is treason in my book!'' Sonny said angrily.
Then he
gave a cold look, ''Have a happy New Year Julie! May you have
another
looong year in Ferncliff and the years to come.''
Then he
laughed wickedly and slammed the door hard as he left her room.
''I didn't
want to work for Sonny, the golden mobster anyways,'' Julie said
rolling
her eyes.
5 minutes
later
''Ten,
Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One..... ...Happy Year,
Julie!!!''
Julie smiled as she watch the Ball drop on the TV.
Then she
raised her glass of water in the air and said, ''To the year 2000! It
can't
be any worse than 1999!''

9 AM
''Julie,
there is a local writer from Port Charles, wanting to talk to you,'' Dr.
Rimmer
said as he walked into her room
''Really,
is it the editor from the Port Charles Herald?'' Julie said excitedly.
''No,
it isn't,'' Dr. Rimmer replied.
''What
about a writer from the Port Charles Magazine?'' Julie asked eagerly.
''No, it
is not. What don't you meet her and find out?'' Dr. Rimmer
suggested.
''Okay,
I admit, I am quite amused to see who it is. Let's go, Dr. Rimmer,''
Julie
smiled.
Five minutes
later
The Visitor's
Room
''Where
is she?'' Julie asked the guard as she walked into the empty room.
''Oh,
she had to run to her car to pick up something. She should be back any
minute,''
the guard replied.
''Okay,''
Julie said as the guard shut the door.
2 minutes
later
Julie was
drinking some water out of her glass when she heard the door swing
open.
To her amazement, Felicia Scorpio-Jones was standing in the room
with a
pen, and a writing pad.
''Guards,
seize and search her for any muffins that she might be hiding!''
Julie
yelled.
''Julie,
relax. I'm not here to poison you. How was I supposed to know when
Eve and
Lucy asked for my special recipe of muffins, it was for you? Don't
blame
me for their misdeeds,'' Felicia said nervously.
''Whatever,
Felicia..... Why are you here?'' Julie demanded.
''I am
here because I want to write your memoirs. Your story as a
brainwashed
serial killer will intrigue readers throughout the country and the
world,''
Felicia smiled.
''And
you think you can write my memories. Give me a break,'' Julie started
laughing.
''Why
is that so funny?'' Felicia said sounding annoyed.
''It is
hilarious because you never have finished one writing project yet. For
example,
should we expect Lila Quartermaine's memoirs to be finally
completed
by the next Ice Age,'' Julie chuckled.
''I intended
to finish the book when inspiration hits me,'' Felicia retorted.
''Right,
just like you intended to finish your great American Novel. I'm sure
that half-finished
book is gathering up cobwebs by now,'' Julie smirked.
''I am
planning to return that projects someday,'' Felicia said quickly.
Julie
grinned, ''In fact, one might say that your life is full of unfinished
projects.
Like being a detective, for example,''
''Julie,
the Outback keeps me very busy lately. I also devote a lot of my time
being
a good mother to Maxie and Georgie. But one day, I intended to start
up my
detective agency again,'' Felicia smiled.
''Didn't
you hired a full time manager at the Outback recently because your
main focus
has been your writing lately,'' Julie said sarcastically.
''But
you are right Julie, I haven't had a good track record with my writing.
But I
promise if you give me exclusive rights to your story as a brainwashed
serial
killer, your book will be completed by 2001. Please, Julie, let me write
your memoirs.
I promise you won't be disappointed,'' Felicia begged.
''Alright,
well, you do have experience with Serial Killers and Stalkers,
namely
Ryan Chamberlain and Kevin Collins. Okay, I will give you a chance,
Felicia.
What do want to know first,'' Julie grinned.
''Well,
tell me about some of favorite times you have had in Port Charles. I
want the
readers to know that you used to be a nice person at the beginning
of your
internship at General Hospital. Then I will write about your dark
days as
you became the General Homicide Serial Killer,'' Felicia explained as
she grab
her notepad and pen.
''Well,
one of my favorite times was having a romantic dinner with Frank at
Marios,''
Julie said dreamily.
''I'm
sure it was just a lovely evening,'' Felicia said as she closed her eyes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Julie,
would like some cheesecake,'' Frank asked smiling
''No,
thank you. I'd rather dance with you, instead,'' Felicia(as Julie) smiled.
They began
to dance slowly on the floor as the music started.
You must
remember this
A kiss
is still a kiss
A sigh
is just a sigh
The fundamental
things apply as time goes by
''Excuse
me, but I have dance reserved with Lila. So get lost, buddy,'' Young
Edward(Mac)
demanded.
''Julie,
is my date, not yours. So why don't you take a hike, buddy!'' Frank
said angrily.
''Gentleman,
there is no need to fight over me. You can both dance with me
tonight,''
Felicia said smiling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
''Hello,
Hello. Are you still there, Felicia? Or have you left the planet
already,''
Julie yelled.
''Oh sorry,
Lila, I mean Julie. I was picturing your date in my mind,'' Felicia
sheepishly.
''Well,
it might help if you remember which story you are writing at the
time....Good
day, Felicia, I won't be needing your so called talents after all,''
Julie
said as she pushed her toward the door.
''I'll
be back because I never take no for an answer,'' Felicia shouted as she
left the
room.
Afterwards
Julie rolled her eyes, ''What a pest she is..... Looks like I'm going
to need
one powerful can of Raid to get rid of her.''
Then she
shook her head and took a sip out of the glass of water
