All Aboard?
The scene switches to outside the MGM Grand Garden Arena and across the street where Jonathan-Christopher Hall stands at the edge of the road, holding large homemade signs in his hand and Darin Zion sits beside an inflatable hot tub. Meanwhile, Vickie is inside the hot tub.
…And that’s everyone who’s there.
Vickie sulks in the tub, shaking her head with anger, although she’s trying her best to hold in.
Vickie Hall: They all went inside… I don’t believe it…
Pretty Pink continues to battle her disbelief while Jonathan-Christopher stands there, like a trooper, holding the signs, ready to distribute them at a moment’s notice to anyone who’s within distance.
Except Vickie is right, all the fans went into the arena. Sure, there’s the odd person that passes by but Vickie wanted her Forever Man to focus on the wrestling fans today.
Vickie Hall: How many signs were you able to hand out, Jonathan-Christopher?
The Vow of Virtue looks down at his hands. He starts counting the signs. The first one is visible to the broadcast feed, it reads “BRING LOVE 2 PRIME”. Vickie taps her hand against the side of the hot tub, as if she’s impatiently waiting and needs the count to go faster.
Jonathan-Christopher has finished counting… but his face goes red. He doesn’t want to share the information with his Amazing Life Partner.
Jonathan-Christopher Hall: Uhhhh, a few.
Vickie isn’t buying it.
Vickie Hall: Now Jonathan-Christopher, our relationship is built on honesty. I expect you to tell me the truth, baby. How many signs have you distributed?
Vickie’s eyes are closed, her head rests on one of the pads. She’s slightly less angry now, merely wanting to know how far their reach went before tonight’s ReVival show.
The Timid Tiger is extremely timid. He mumbles the amount of signs he’s handed out but no one can hear him. It’s only a mumble.
Vickie sighs. Loudly.
Vickie Hall: Darin Zion, can you please ask your best friend how many signs he’s given to fans tonight?
Zion’s disinterested. He remains sitting on the ground, phone in hand and watching random YouTube videos.
Vickie Hall: Ummm, Darin? Are you there?
REAL LOVE snaps into reality. He looks over and kicks Jonathan-Christopher on the back of his right leg. Finally, JC Hall speaks loud enough for all to hear.
Jonathan-Christopher Hall: None.
A long, silent pause.
Jonathan-Christopher Hall: None, I am so, so sorry.
Another silence falls over them. Zion goes back to his phone, not giving a fuck while Vickie’s facial expression hasn’t changed at all. She’s not even shaking with anger anymore.
Vickie Hall: Be that as it may…
The Woman of Wonder begins as Jonathan-Christopher trembles with an anxiety attack.
Vickie Hall: You boys go to the arena now. You have a match soon.
Vickie takes a deep, calming zen breath in and then out.
Vickie Hall: And when you boys return, with your victory I might add, we can discuss the next steps in this LOVE CONVOY.
Relief crosses Jonathan-Christopher’s face.
Vickie Hall: Now scoot, baby. Zion, you follow. Go in there and pick up the win. I need more relaxation in this hot tub.
The Forever Man nods. He places the signs against the hot tub and walks towards the arena. An indifferent Darin Zion stands, dusts himself off and follows, while continuing to look at his phone as the scene ends.
