Ricky hasn't said a word since last Sunday.
He's normally never gets this angry.
I'm actually a little bit scared.
It's not like I've never a man hit me with a wrestling hold.
But I think he's taking personal exception to this.
I've tried calming him down. It's not working.
I fear I'm losing him.
And that's the least of my problems this week.
=============================================================
{Roxi stares at the camera like a personal youtube video. Her arms are folded over her chest. She's clutching herself tightly. The room is entirely dark, minus the light from the camera.}
Roxi - I feel like complete ****. I've been trying to talk to Ricky, get his attention. At the very least, let him know I'm okay. Sephiroth got the best of both of us last Sunday. But I don't think Ricky is really concerned about losing the Xtreme title. A cheap loss over a title isn't anything new to Ricky. I'm concerned that what may happen next will not be pretty for anyone.
{She pauses, her comfort is non-existent.}
Roxi - Thankfully, Ricky got this week off to heal, and to settle down. It may take longer considering the mood he's in. I know Sephiroth is just taking extreme pleasure in all of this. He must just be in a state of euphoria over the pain he caused. Plus, he got what he wanted.
{Another pause, she looks around almost as if she expects something bad to happen.}
Roxi - I'm not going to threaten or promise anything to Sephiroth. It's not like it matters at this point. He can laugh it up, and enjoy the misery of the Johnson family. All I will say is simply "enjoy it."
{She adjusts herself in the chair.}
Roxi - I need to move on from that, and focus on my opponents for this week. Rayne, Emma Danielson, and Cleopatra. I understand fully what this match is, and what it's all about. I may have had a rough week or two, but I'm not blind, or deaf. The three girls in the ring all want that victory that will get them a title shot. Which, right now, sounds like a death wish. But, like I do, these three see that possible title shot as an opportunity to knock Zelda off the top of the mountain. The old saying is it's a long way to the top, and a short ride down. Every moment can be denied in an instant. I don't want to fall any further than I am now.
{She continues looking around nervously.}
Roxi - Let me address Rayne for the moment. As a sign of respect, I'll address the most dangerous person in the match first. The reason you are dangerous is because only Emma knows anything about you. To Cleo and myself, you are unproven. But, you seem to talk like a seasoned pro, which you are. Just not here. I hate to harp on the same things that Ricky does when talking about unknown opponents, but it's true. You are unproven here. Not that that means I'm taking anything away from you, because I'm not. I do look upon your kind words reguarding my situation last week with fondness, and appriciation. But that doesn't mean you can mistake kindness for weakness. And while we're on the subject, let me remind you, and just about everyone else that deems me a "failure" or "loser" It's okay. Because as it stands, only ONE of the women that wrestle here, have beaten me in a one on one match. That's Zelda, who happens to be the nCw Women's champion. Not you Rayne, not Emma, Not even Cleopatra has. Those loses, sure they look bad, but looks, can be decieving. So Rayne, I trust that you'll think about that as we head into this match.
{She seems a little more confident now.}
Roxi - Emma Danielson. The beer drinking - uh, come to think of it, I've only seen you drinking. Not much else. Oh, wait, you did take out Emma English, which is an accomplishment. But one I'm not putting too high on the list. Make no mistake, as the biggest, strongest woman here, You too have a reputation. You seems to be the bridesmaid, and never the bride. You get so close, and it slips from your hand. All the time. It doesn't bother me that you don't take me seriously. Not at all. Because it was that very same attitude that cost you a chance at the nCw women's title in the first place. So, keep on doing what you're doing. I will keep doing what I'm doing, and we'll see who winds up better off after this match.
{Her mood suddenly shifts, more anger in her face.}
Roxi - And as for you Cleopatra. At one time, I may have considered you a friend. You were there, trying to help. Or, more accurately you gave off that appearence. But, like a snake in the grass, you more or less wanted another Ayla. And you thought I fit the bill. And you were wrong. Wrong, because you though, just like so many others, that I was weak, you even managed to say it again, in your latest work. But it seems the weakest person here, is you. Let's look at the facts. You tried to basically have a three on one handicap match in order to win the title. And you failed. You tried to recruit me for some kind of cult, and you failed. You have tried tried countless times to win the Women's title, and you failed. But that is nothing compared to what I've got in store for you this Friday. Because revenge, it's a slow process. It takes time. And going direct is not the best approach. I'm going to go through you, to get what I really want. I'm starting with you Cleopatra. As the old saying goes, keep your friends, close, your enimies closer.
{From the shadows, Ricky's face pops out. He slams the laptop down. Nothing but blackness. Roxi screams. Fade.}
