**SEVERAL MONTHS AGO**
Zelda: Adam ADAM ADAM ADAM!!!!
{Zelda Knite comes rushing into the room with a flyer in her hand, she quickly runs up to her brother who had his back turned until just now. She takes the paper and shoves it in his face, but gets a little overzealous and as Adam turns around she shoves it right into his nose. Adam grabs his face in pain as he takes a step back.}
Zelda: LOOK!
Adam: What?!
Zelda: Look at it! It's so awesome!
{Adam holds his nose, in obvious pain with one hand and violently rips the piece of paper out of Zelda's. He looks at it, then lowers it to his side and stares at Zelda confused, he raises the paper and takes a longer look, then lowers it again... this time seeming both confused and annoyed. }
Adam: A video game release?
Zelda: NOT JUST A VIDEO GAME! It's Final Fantasy …. THIRTEEN! Do you know what this means!?
Adam: It means that..... they've made thirteen of them?
Zelda: YES! And this one is being released.. TOMARROW!
{Adam picks up the paper and looks at it again just to double check something he saw. He lowers it and raises an eyebrow at his sister.}
Adam: In Japan.
Zelda: Yeeeeeeeeah.
Adam: Japan.
Zelda: Correct?
Adam: JAPAN!
Zelda: We've established this already.... so?
Adam: **cough** YOU DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE!
Zelda: How would you know?
Adam: You failed English in High School...... and you're trying to convince me you can speak Japanese?
Zelda: Touche....... can we go!?
Adam: What?! NO!!
Zelda: Please.....
{Zelda puffs out her bottom lip as Adam gives her a stern look, she leans forward and pouts somemore and Adam and rolls his eyes.}
Adam: Danggit.....Zel, I'm not booking an overnight plane flight to Japan!
{However, Zelda just continues the cherade and Adam face palms and points towards a door.}
Adam: Goddammit...... just go pack your stuff....
Zelda: YAY!!!!! You're the best brother ever!
{Zelda jumps up and wraps her arms around Adam's neck giving him a big kiss on the cheek before running off to get her things.}
Adam: Ugh......
{Fade Away}
**Later**
{Later that night we see Adam with his arms wrapped around his chest trying to keep warm outside a store as several Japanese teens walk by him. He looks annoyed as he stands there on that corner waiting. A teenager approaches him.}
Teen: Excuse me sir....
Adam: I'm sorry, I don't speak Japanese.
Teen: I am speaking in English sir.
Adam: I'm sorry, no habla espaniol.
Teen:........that doesn't make sense....
{Before the japense man can finish his taught the poor guy is ran over and shoved out of the way as Zelda slides into view carrying three large bags with her. Adam's jaw drops as he can't believe what he's seeing right now.}
Adam: ONE game takes that many bags?
Zelda: Well I had to buy the limited edition white Lightning PS3 too Adam, duh.
Adam: Don't you already have a Playstation?
Zelda: It's not white.
Adam: …..ok... you got me there.... but why three bags?
Zelda: I bought three of them.
{Adam takes four very long, deep breaths as he just stares at Zelda's smiling face.}
Adam: WHY!?
Zelda: Well that's a silly thing to ask... two very simple words... collector's item.
Adam: Two?
Zelda: One's for you goof!
Adam: But I didn't want one....
Zelda: I just spent all this money on you, for being such a great brother and you're going to just going to turn your nose up to it? Adam that's mean.....
Adam: It was my money!
Zelda: Oh details.... lets go home I wannna play!
Adam: Sigh.....
{Fade away}
**PRESENT DAY**
Adam: Tired?
{The scene opens as we see Zelda laying in the middle of a wrestling ring inside a small personal gym, her chest is rising and falling rapidly as she desperately tries to catch her breath.}
Zelda: What....... does it..... look..... like....... to you?!
Adam: Well maybe you'll get the point.
{Zelda sits up and angrily looks up at her brother.}
Zelda: what point? That you're a big jerk?
General: I just don't know if she has it in her Adam..... way too lazy....
{The camera pans around and we see the owner of said gym, NCW head of security The General, walking up to the siblings. He shakes his head in disgust as he climbs into the ring.}
General: Look at her... thirty minutes and she's already sucking air like a fat kid in PE class.
Zelda: Hey old geezer **deep breath** I've already had a match tonight and I'm exhausted.
General: That's no excuse in wrestling young lady! Wrestling is about conditioning! You can't win a match if you can't finish it without dropping for air every two minutes! Like I said Adam... I don't know if she's got it.....
Adam: Oh.. she's got all the talent... I know that.
General: Who's she facing?
Adam: Julietta Lee....
General: **laughing** And you think tubby here is going to be able to keep up with her?
Zelda: HEY! I'm right here you big dumb.... thing I can't think of at the moment because I'm so tired! I resent that. Adam, I'm through with this.... I wanna go home, and.....
Adam: Fine, whatever, come on, used to get everything you want anyway... you'll have to just learn the hard way I guess....
{Adam slides out of the ring and waves at the General as he walks towards the door. Zelda pushes herself up, slides out and chases after him, she turns him around right there.}
Zelda: What is that supposed to mean?
Adam: You know what it means. You're used to just having things handed to you through life. Mainly because Dad was a stupid drunk and I was on the road all the time, so it was just easier to send you money to do whatever you wanted to with.... but like I said... whatever, lets go home, apparently this doesn't mean as much to you as you said it did.
Zelda: No no, this means the world to me, I want to be a pro wrestler, just like my big brother.
Adam: Then you need to quit acting like this is something you can half ass your way through! This isn't one of your silly games Zelda... if you're not prepared out there, you are going to get hurt and you are going to lose!
Zelda: Oh please....Julietta.... old hag, I could...
Adam: This is just what I'm talking about Zel... lets just go home and do whatever you're wanting to do, doesn't matter.
{Adam begins to head out again but Zelda grabs him and turns him around one more time.}
Zelda: Fine... you think it's so important.... then lets finish it. You're my trainer for a reason and I will do whatever you want.
{Zelda turns and heads back to the ring as the camera zooms in on Adam's face, and catches him flashing a very mischievous smile. Fade Out.}
**Later**
{When we fade back in for the last time we see Zelda leaning her back against the corner turnbuckles while sitting down, she is breathing hard as the sweat covers her face. The camera zooms in closer as she readies to speak.}
Zelda: Oh looky, what do we have here, Zelda Knite nearly exhausted, banging on death's door after a long workout and day. What is everybody's complaint about me, that I don't take this seriously enough, that I'm just some goofy kid who loves her video games, not a wrestler. Well look what we have here, I feel like I'm about to die. For what you ask? For one thing, and one thing only..... glory.
From my very first day in NCW I've been saying my only goal is to make a mark, is to go somewhere where nobody else has ever gone. For that goal, I am now in this position, I'm glad I dont' have to go stop an alien invasion right now, because I am beginning to suspect I've lost all feeling in my legs. Will this be worth it? I don't know only time will tell....
But that brings me to my point here, time. The flow of time, destiny, your future, it all goes hand in hand really. See there's always someone who tries to swim against the flow of the sands of time, that person who refused to believe that their moment has passed them by. Julietta, for all that crap you talk and all those smartalicy responses, you know that in NCW, this person is you, obviously... otherwise, why would I be addressing you?
See...you're trying to fight mother nature instead of just accepting your fate, the fate of being a used up hag and stay at home mom. Just run back to your kitchen and stand in front of your stove, and start talking to that fire, because after Sunday that's all that is going to matter to you, since everybody knows you're not walking out as the women's champion. Keep pretending Julietta, keep trying to fight against the sands of time, because when I do win, it's only going to make that win so much sweeter. I'd say I'd put the nail in your coffin, but I figured you'd probably pretend to enjoy that sorta thing with your ridiculous attempts of trying to act intimidating.... so I won't give ya the chance..... geezer.
You're a hypocrite, a liar, a has been, ugly, and a fat loser. Trying to be all cool and act like I'm the one not taking you seriously, I'm the one who is too busy focusing her attentions on other things. You mock my gaming, yet you put so much attention and focus on this Joanie chick. What's the difference? You're trying to look past me, trying to put some focus on an opponent who isn't standing right in front of you. You think I'm the silly little girl with a geeky little obsession, but you're failing to see that wrestler who has trained the past two years of her life for this moment. You refuse to acknowledge that I've had a Hall of Fame wrestler giving me every bit of advice he can, for two years!
I've toiled over this wild dream of mine these past years, I've been worked to the bone, and I've come home and played, had my fun. You do realize a person is capable of focusing their intentions on more than one thing at a time right? Guess what, I can do it and I can do it without having to fight father time the whole way either. I'm young, I'm pretty, I'm everything you wish you were right now. You wish you weren't an used up mother of two with no bigger ambitions in life, but I can't help that. Unlike my games, and unlike the movies, there is no flying back into the past to change anything, you have to live with the fact that you are currently nothing in the wrestling world, where I... I'm the present, and future.
This is my moment Julietta, this is my place in history. I will be walking out with the high score here, you have to realize you can't fight against time Julietta. You're not Marty McFly, you can't change my destiny, there's no Delorean for you to run a muck in, this is for real. You're standing at the arcade cabinet on your last token Julietta, and I'm about to send you straight to a …... GAME OVER.
{Zelda smiles, but then lets out a big sigh as she grabs her midsection and the scene fades to black.}
