Disclaimer: I don't own Chris Jericho, wish I did, but don't. Plot is based on Y2J's current storyline, which is… um… the writers really aren't giving us alot to work with & that's the WWFE's fault, not mine.

Please review---don't make me beg.

Author's Note: Written after 10/11/01's SmackDown. Continuation depends on the direction the writers send Jericho. This is still in Chris's POV.

     Well, Rock, looks like in ten days we'll find out if everything truly is "cool" between us.
     Hey, I don't have a problem with The Rock, although I sure wouldn't mind getting ahold of that WCW title he's got.
     The thing that really gets me is I had to beat Rob Van Dam to get this chance… okay, so RVD lost because Stone Cold Steve Assclown hit him in the head with a steel chair. He lost, but he gets an opportunity to get in on the Austin/Angle WWF title match. To steal a phrase (I guess you'd call it) from one of the Alliance's most annoying members, The Hurricane, "Whasupwidat"?! Van Dam lost, yet he gets the better end of the stick. Sounds a little unfair to me, *I* should be in that match, not him.
     But, I'm not jealous, though. Rob seems to be having some problems with Steve Assclown, so I think I'll kick back, watch the two of them kick the shit out of each other and Angle come out the winner.
     You're thinking that can't be my only reason for not being jealous, right? Good, you get cookie! Kidding. Anyway, I've "mapped out" my next couple of months and I think it looks good. I'm making some assumptions---because the writers, who more often tend to *not* listen to me, having really decided where I'm going yet---and hoping I don't make an ass of myself, when I submit this to the aforementioned writers. Let's take a look, shall we?

October's No Mercy - I beat Rock for the WCW title
November, Survivor Series - Return match with The Rock and I win again (or maybe it's my return match from having lost in October, either way I leave champion)
December's Vengeance - By now, I figure Trip has returned and gone to the Alliance with his trashbag ho and he wants to get his hands on my WCW title, most likely because Steve Assclown still has the WWF title (damn him). Trip and I have a match and, of course, I win.
January, Royal Rumble - Return match with Trip. Let's say, for some God forsaken reason, I lost to the man with the humongous schnoz. So far, Benoit is on track to be back by this time so the two of us become a tag team (again!) after this PPV.
February's No Way Out - Myself and Benoit against whoever the tag champs are. And we win.

     Sound good to you? Sounds damn good to me. And, look, it was all done without me turning heel or going to the (laughable) Alliance.
     I wouldn't be surprised if the writers follow the rumors that hit the websites. You know, that way, every once in a while, they can come up with something *un*expected. I mean, they've got to get their ideas somewhere since nearly half of the time they don't listen to me.
     And I'm Y2J. That's just not right, but I'm not going to cry about it like a certain Rattlesnake who likes to cry, whine, bitch, and hug everyone.

End…?
