All Aboard
The scene switches to inside the MGM Grand atrium where Vickie Hall stands, directing her Amazing Life Partner, Jonathan-Christopher and Darin Zion. The boys are setting up a large display off to the right hand side. It’s a homemade billboard with leaflets and numerous fan signs stacked up in the corner. Text at the bottom of the screen reads “EARLIER TODAY”.
Fans are about to file in for the show, the doors haven’t opened yet. Vickie turns to Jonathan-Christopher and snaps her fingers.
Vickie Hall: Now, now, Jonathan-Christopher. I thought I mentioned I would like the leaflets a little closer to the front of the table.
Although Vickie could likely take two simple steps forward, reach out and move them herself, she waits for her man to stop reorganizing the signs. The Forever Man lifts up the pamphlets and places them closer. Vickie shakes her head.
Vickie Hall: A little more to the right.
Jonathan-Christopher does so.
Vickie Hall: Nope. Now a little more to the left.
Jonathan-Christopher does so.
Vickie Hall: And closer still.
Obviously, this is a VERY specific area Vickie needs them in.
Vickie Hall: And closer still.
Too specific.
Vickie Hall: There you go.
Pretty Pink turns to Darin Zion who has finished his task of making the display board pop out. There are four hot pink letters hanging off the top of the display, L.O.V.E. and the display board itself is littered in love photos from Jonathan-Christopher and Vickie. The Woman of Wonder claps at a job well done to DZ.
Vickie Hall: I just love to sit back and watch. I enjoy being pampered.
At least she’s honest.
Vickie Hall: Jonathan-Christopher, please fetch me those signs. When the doors open we have to start handing them out!
Vickie smacks the side of her head. She almost forgot.
Vickie Hall: And get me the loud speaker. There will be a lot of commotion when the doors open and I want my voice to be heard by all!
Jonathan-Christopher walks behind the display, revealing a hot pink, Hallmark branded loudspeaker. Vic asks him to hurry back. Even though Jonathan-Christopher is only a few feet away he SPRINTS the megaphone to her as if this is life or death. She blushes.
Vickie Hall: Okay boys, places. And just so you know, I will not be out there tonight for your tag team match.
Jonathan-Christopher looks shook as fuck.
Vickie Hall: Because I will need to be here, promoting our future. Promoting our change. We have been so wronged by this dog and pony show. I am absolutely sick of it!
Vickie looks at the MGM Grand security who are down the hall and at the entrance doors. There’s a medium-sized crowd waiting to get in. Pretty Pink shouts towards the staff.
Vickie Hall: When are the doors opening? It’s almost time!
One security member says they are unlocking the doors in one minute.
Vickie Hall: Okay… (turning back to her team) but that’s about thirty seconds late.
Jonathan-Christopher tries to smile, although he’s still shaken up about not having his ALP at ringside for a match against two former World Champions. REAL LOVE Darin Zion, however, is ready to go, leaflets in hand.
The security members make a play to unlock the doors. Vickie readies.
Vickie Hall: Okay, PLACES EVERYONE PLACES!
The doors are unlocked. Fans are screened, tickets are taken and the people begin wandering into the atrium. Vickie slaps Zion on the chest and asks her to be lifted up. He does so, placing Vickie on his shoulders… and the dainty woman with bushy eyebrows puts the megaphone to her mouth.
Vickie Hall: EVERYONE HELLO. It’s your favourite ALP here, Vickie Hall and I am alongside my loving man, Jonathan-Christopher and his best friend, Darin Zion! Please come take a sign and show support tonight for your passionate Hallmark Journey!
She has captured everyone’s attention, at least for a moment. Some fans move past, others are intrigued and walk over. Zion hands out pamphlets and Jonathan-Christopher distributes signs. A few of the visible signs handed out:
“NEED MORE LOVE!”
“HALL’S WERE SHAFTED!”
“LOVE SHOULD BE FREE!”
“LOVE IS ESSENTIAL!”
“THEIR BODY, THEIR LOVE!”
“HONK FOR THE ALPs!”
Vickie Hall: Since Jonathan-Christopher and I can no longer show our love for each other in the way we were supposed to, by winning either the Almasy Tournament, the 5-Star Championship OR SurViVor, we are asking YOU, the fans, to support us in our most important journey yet! From here on out, myself, Jonathan-Christopher and Darin Zion will occupy this space! We will promote our love against those in PRIME who have threatened our expression! We are here! We are hungry! We want the truth to be told!
For as tiny as the woman is, her voice is BOOMING. She doesn’t even need the megaphone.
Vickie Hall: Welcome PRIMEates…
Vickie looks down at her man. He gives a thumbs up.
Vickie Hall: To THE LOVE CONVOY!
Most fans aren’t paying attention by now. Although some have taken a sign or two.
Suddenly, Vickie is tapped on the leg by a delivery man.
Delivery Man: Excuse me, Vickie Hall?
She nods and pats Zion on the top of his head.
Vickie Hall: Put me down, Darin.
He does.
Delivery Man: I’m a little confused. I have your delivery outside. We’re supposed to bring it… in here?
Vickie snatches the paperwork from the man’s hands. She scans it over and a devilish grin crosses her face.
Vickie Hall: Yes. Yes this is correct. Please bring it in. Right here. There’s a hookup off to the right hand side.
The delivery man still looks unsure but he’ll take her word for it. He whistles to his crew from outside the entrance doors as fans continue to wander into the atrium.
Delivery Man: Okay guys, bring the portable hot tub in!
Vickie rubs her hands together. She pulls the speaker to her face once more.
Vickie Hall: This is a movement! Let the LOVE CONVOY… BEGIN!!!
Pretty Pink turns to 2Become1.
Vickie Hall: And good luck in your match tonight, boys. Let’s start our Hallmark Journey by OUR means.
