ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON 15

Episode 44

" What do you mean there's nothing we can do about anonymous calls? ," Winston snapped in a frustrated low voice as he stood discreetly away from others backstage at the Rebel show waiting for it to start. " Officer , I don't think you are aware of the seriousness of this situation. My brother is running for mayor. He's in a wheelchair and has ...."

                     The Rebel Show

(The audience members stood up and clapped enthusiastically as they heard the familiar bouncy Rebel sung theme song to the popular daytime talk show which prompted the entrance of the star himself Rebel in his " It Gets Better" tee shirt and faded blue jeans and black leather boots. )

Rebel ( bowing elaborately as the audience kept clapping and calling his name) : Thank you. Thank you so much for all your love. We have a great show for you today. I'm not one for politics. Dom can tell you that. But I know enough to know even if you're not interested in politics politics is going to be interested in you. So today we're going to focus on a local election in the DMV area. The mayor race in Hyattsville, Maryland. Great place to live. My bestie lives there and I'm considering along with Dom buying a little place there myself. A little cozy slice of suburb bliss for us and our beautiful son Eric Fletcher Gaines. By the way is he not gorgeous, ladies and gentlemen?

( Rebel pointed at the suddenly showcased glossy photograph of him and Dom holding their smiling dark skinned adoptive son as the audience cooed and clapped. )

Rebel ( smiling proudly) : My family is precious and beautiful. I am so blessed. But back to our current show theme today. Today we have joining us the candidates of the race for mayor in Hyattsville. We have Dr. Spencer Norland - Lane who holds the distinction of being a bonafide certified genius. A genius with numbers and languages. He knows several different languages. I'm lucky to know English ( laughs ).He's the smartest person in the country. I'm in awe of this guy , I'm telling you. We also welcome today his opponents Republican lobbyist Buckley Van Owen Sr. , minister Reverend Lazarus Jones and former magazine editor Dodie Angeletti. But before we bring them all out I want to wish good thoughts and much love and sympathy to our own Miss Luci Moore who was recently injured in a shooting. She's a little trooper though because we have her streamed in from her hospital bed to do her Teen Chat With Luci Moore segment. ( Audience loudly claps and cheers .)

Luci ( sitting up in her hospital bed with her laptop propped up on the table before her ): Hey , Rebel !

Rebel : Hey, my darling girl, how are you ? We've been so worried about you.  We all love you here !

Luci : I love you guys too ! Thanks for letting me on today. I'm not going to talk too much but I wanted to send a special message out to a young girl who happens to be a friend. I hope she sees this. She wrote to me about being confused about her identity and finally coming to terms with not being a boy but a transgender girl. I can relate to that so much. She's worried about what her dad might think about it all. I can understand the worries, Jade , but I think you need to trust the love you say your dad has for you as his child and tell him the truth. It's tough. I know but you might be surprised how it goes. And , if it doesn't go well at least you are finally being honest with yourself as well. Here's hoping it goes well and your dad is as supportive as my Uncle D and Uncle Spencer. This is Luci With An I Not A Y signing off for now. Love , hugs and kisses to you all.

Rebel ( smiling) : Love , hugs and kisses back at you too , Luci. You get some rest now! And , Jade , I offer you my own good vibes as you tell your truth to your dad.
