The Unofficial Half of the Final Journal Entry of Gerald Lord (Part 1)

The Truth

*It's Valentine's Day, Gerald Lord (GL) sits in his office, it's night-time having spent the past month and few days recovering from the brutal Hell in a Cell match the previous December, awaiting his what he was told was a special package with an urgent message.*


GL: *talking to himself* I do wonder what this could be about? *hears a knock at the door* Come in. *in walks: CravingforSkulls (CFS) walks in with a bulky envelope*
CFS: *somewhat nervous* This came for you this afternoon... it's from Ricc413300 (RIC).
GL: *takes the package* Hmmm... *opens it* it's a tape. *sees CFS is still in the room.* You can go now.
CFS: *looks disappointed* What about Valentine's day raise?
GL: *a little agitated* You'll get it in the mail. Go! *CFS exits, GL puts the tape into the television in his office and sits down to watch it, the screen is static at first but then the film begins... *RIC is shown on screen, still showing a couple cuts and bruises from the Hell in a Cell match, chuckling with three ladies all facing towards him*

RIC: *looks at the camera* Alright, alright ladies. It's filming, say hello to Gerald. *They turn, and the three are actually: Vaginus (VIN), Pubic Hurr (PH) and the lady from the FCC Obsessed with Grell (OWG).*
The three together: *In somewhat cheerful voices* Hi Gerald!
RIC: Now, I'm sure you're wondering, why they're all with me and so cheerful. Well, I wanted to let you know the truth of why I *does quotation marks with his fingers* "turned" on the show. Believe it or not, it was all planned from the beginning: the Legion, the attempted overthrow, and even my failed revolt. You see, it all began back on December 31st, 2009. I was out, celebrating the New Year, enjoying the fact that you had given me a raise for the New Year at the local coffee house.
VIN: *starts up* I'll take it from here, RIC saw me across the room and realized I was bothered by something. We never got along, but he saw I was genuinely worried about something, and asked me what was the matter.
PH: We were going to lose the house, the mortgage was just too much.
RIC: I put aside my dislike, and offered to cover the bill.
VIN: And after that me and RIC started to feel a vibe between us, so we started dating. We were going to tell you, but bigger news prevented us. On January 24th, two days before your Journal #38 show, a memo was sent to us, for me to give to you, saying that the show was in financial debt, $2,000,000,000 worth to be exact.
PH: So, we three, indicating to herself, VIN and RIC, figured we needed to spice the ratings up somehow, and realized we could play up the fact that everyone still thought backstage RIC and VIN didn't get along.
RIC: So we rolledd with it. But after some 3 journals into it, we realized a simply grudge storyline or ratings boost would help pay off the debt, we had to come up with something fast. So we came up with the biggest con ever done, in the world.

VIN: We knew you had enemies, wealthy enemies. So we had them join to become the Legion and figured someway somehow, you'd managed to make the story into a big time fight, between RIC and yourself, which we could trick them all into betting on, and then play around with the outcomes from there.
OWG: *finally speaks up* Thing is, after the Journal #41 show, where the Legion picked you apart. You seemed like you were going to call it quits. So, RIC had to pull off the deplorable Journal #42 show, where he hurt those poor kids, to get you to come back as a big hero. But you didn't... so they decided to get me involved into their plot, and had me pretend like I was from the FCC. And I convinced you to come back, and even to give me temporarily partial ownership of the show.
PH: So we built up the bad blood, got tensions running high, and slowly, like we figured you would, you started to take out the Legion, keeping RIC all the way for the end.
OWG: And when that big match happened, we had all of the Legion members place their bets on the winner for high stakes, but they placed their bets on you, GL.
VIN: So I stepped in, and bet on RIC, to stir controversy.
OWG: But when, the bets we finally calculated, and all the wagers were taken to account. I realized we couldn't bet on either one of you two winning the match, because the bets were right in the middle in a deadlock. And the rewards wouldn't pay off if either of you won.
RIC: But we already had an Ace up our sleeve the entire time. And that ace was Paige_1_Shosho (PGS).
OWG: We needed her to get close to you, get you to trust her, and she did just that. You put her as the referee of the match, and as such, we knew no matter what, we'd be able to influence the match result, so we had her place a bet on the match ending as a tie, and then she called the match right as a tie. Of course, we had to make it look convincing, and with a little interference from...
PH: Me. *shrugs* I knocked you both out, and PGS, called the 10 count. Then of course it just came down to how we were going to make it end up with you retaining your show anyways. So we had OWG name PGS the full owner of the Journal shows, and then call for a 3-way ownership. We had RIC refuse, and PGS give you full ownership again.
RIC: And that was that. With the winnings from the bet, we paid off the show's debts and retained a total of $5,000,000,000. 1 billion will go to those poor kids me and the Legion hurt back in Journal #42 the rest has been split among us five. Oh right... we haven't allowed PGS a chance to talk. *makes the camera shift to show PGS sitting down nearby, somewhat solemnly* Come on girls, let's give her a chance to talk on her own. *The four of them leave, leaving PGS with the camera.*

PGS: *after some bit of silence* GL, I know you might feel betrayed and played, but we couldn't have let you known, you were the captain of that show, and you were so enthusiastic about it. None of us had the heart to tell you, you were captain of a sinking ship, it would have broken you. But now that the ordeal is done, you have your show back, and we've paid for you to be able to do one more show. *She stares away for a moment and tears up a bit* I know you'll make it the best one ever. *sniffles a bit and then smiles weakly* And know that while I had to get close to you, it wasn't just a task for me, and I did feel something between us. And perhaps, one day, we'll be able to revisit that feeling again. Goodbye. *the video fades to black and then stops, leaving GL's office quiet once more, and GL to brood over these revelations. GL stares at the picture on his desk, it's a picture of him and PGS kissing under the mistletoe, back from the Christmas party.*

The Epiphany

*Glove Box Sex (GBS) [formerly known as CherryFlavoredButtsecks] lies in a hospital back, a nurse removes the cast around his neck gently*
Nurse: There you go, you've recovered from that throat injury remarkably.
GBS: Why yes I have, guess I'll be leaving this hospital today. *sees GL standing at the doorway*
GL: Well, look who's back in action.
GBS: *says to the Nurse* Might we have a moment? Seems I've got one more visitor.
Nurse: Of course. *heads out*
GL: *sits down on a chair* Did you know about RIC and VIN? About OWG? About PGS?
GBS: Know what?
GL: Guess not. *proceeds to explain it all to him*
GBS: *after GL is done explaining* Wow, so that's what was going on the whole time. I had it all figured out wrong.
GL: Huh?
GBS: When I joined the Legion, I was trying to break them apart, from the inside. That's why I did my turn on VIN, guess they saw right through me...
GL: You know, you could have told me?
GBS: No, I knew it had to look genuine.
GL: That's precisely what the video said.
GBS: So... what is your final show going to be about?
GL: I don't know... *radio in the hallway can be heard*
Radio Announcer: And now it's time to hear the latest song, from the Beiber-sensation that is sweeping the nation. It's Justin Beiber's newest hit. *a Beiber song starts to play*
GBS: How I wish someone would tell him he's not talented at singing.
GL: *raises his eye brow in intrigue* You know, I think I might just know how I'm going to end my Journal show.

That... is... all!
