A New Hope for the Whole F'n Show
By Crys Skywalker
Another day and another alliance had broken in front of Rob Van Dam. Again in the middle of all this, Rob ends up losing another friend. He lost his wife about a year ago and things hadn't been the same. He lost all of his confidence when his one and only left the mortal world. Even the Zen that he practiced all those years didn't seem to comfort him as much as it should.
He jokingly by Jericho picked up the games of Duel Monsters and Magic the Gathering, hoping that it might take a bit of the pain away. He loved games and he was meeting new people all the time playing these card games. But he still couldn't find someone that he could trust and confide in.
Boredom started to set in and he began to shuffle his Duel Monsters deck. Rob looking around, realizing the roommate that got him into these games wasn't around. Sullenly he went to the computer. It was Jericho's laptop, but frequently Rob had been online looking for someone to chat with. Tonight was no different. Hopping onto a Yahoo account that no one knew about, he quickly looked to see if there was anyone on of one of the Yu-gi-oh sites. Sure enough there was and he IM that person…
Zenhappy: Hi I notice you were on late at night… do you Duel?
He hoped for a reply. He hadn't had the best of luck online.
LadyKaiba: Well hello there. Yeah I have a deck. You want something to pacify the time huh?
Zenhappy: Yeah you mind…?
LadyKaiba: Sure, But I'll warn ya, I'm good. :D
Zenhappy: I look forward to a challenge.
LadyKaiba: Then let's duel…
Zenhappy: You make it sound like I'm battling Yugi Moto…
LadyKaiba: More like Kaiba my dear, a female version of him. I'm going to start off. With the six cards I have I'll set one monster in defense face down and set a card. So tell me a little about yourself?
Zenhappy: Already on the Defense huh?
Lady Kaiba: Now, now the best defense is the best offense.
Zenhappy: Okay I'm not here to argue… Okay I'm going to play Graceful Charity, a response?
LadyKaiba: Yes I activate Dust Tornado. You will still have to discard two cards though.
Zenhappy: Dang, well that backfired. I discard the two and set two.
Lady Kaiba: Okay I draw…
Zenhappy: I Activate Ojama Trio x2.
LadyKaiba: Darn…I'll end my turn.
Zenhappy: You wanted to know more about me? Well I'm a guy that travels a lot. Job requires it. I get home once a week and I just lost my wife.
LadyKaiba: Ouch… Not good. That's not cool. It sounds to me that you aren't taking to well to you're job.
Zenhappy: Well I can't really complain…
Rob sat there looking at the screen wondering about this woman that he was dueling. She sounded that she was quite intelligent, but was he safe in trusting her. Right now he felt to play it by ear and see how she takes to the information.
Zenhappy: With me working for the WWE it really isn't that bad.
LadyKaiba: WWE??? Is this Rob Van Dam? I heard that he was into Duel Monsters and Magic. Please don't be toying with me.
Zenhappy: And if it I'm really Rob Van Dam?
LadyKaiba: I would say that you'd be pulling my leg, but I can't say if it is you or not. If it is, I'm really glad. Mainly I always wanted to meet you and I'm glad to be dueling with you… Wait where are you?
Zenhappy: Albuquerque, New Mexico.
LadyKaiba: Tell me something that is knowledge that only the Real RVD and his fans would know… And I mean the hardcore fans would know.
Zenhappy: Well I guess it can't hurt, I left ECW because I thought the WWE was going to be a better career opportunity then what it really was.
LadyKaiba: It is really you… how odd that I got the chance to do this. Can I meet you somewhere? I duel better in person. I won't tell anyone.
Zenhappy: you live here?
LadyKaiba: Yes silly. Read my profile. Oh, never mind…
Zenhappy: Yeah I guess… Um I'm over by the malls.
LadyKaiba: Sheraton or Marriott?
Zenhappy: Marriott.. I guess you really do live here.
LadyKaiba: I'll meet you in fifteen minutes at the Winrock mall in the food court. I'm going to wear my RVD shirt so you can find me.
Zenhappy: Okay I'll see you there.
Rob got offline as Jericho walked in. Jericho looked at Rob curious by his reaction.
"Where are you heading off to?" Jericho asked.
"I'm meeting with someone at the mall. I met her on the net." Rob spoke frankly. Jericho gritted his teeth. He knew that Vince would be pissed if any of the wrestlers decided to make appearances other than at a fast food joint or the stadium that they wrestled at.
"Rob be careful…" Jericho warnings left on deaf ears as Rob left out the door.
TBC…
