Post by Zelda Knite on Apr 19, 2013 13:28:52 GMT -6
[Zelda stands outside the door to a hotel room with a bag over her shoulder and her phone in her hand. She knocks gently on the door before turning her attention back to her phone in disgust as we can see the name “Simon” displayed across as a call before Zelda closes it off and refuses to answer. The door opens up and Zelda smiles when we see Xavier Cross standing there. Zelda smiles and bites her lip cutely as he waves her in.]
Xavier: Thanks for doing this champ.
Zelda: No problem, I did used to babysit for Brad Kane... I think I can handle “just” three.
Xavier: Adam said you wouldn’t mind, so we could go catch the game, but I just want to make sure. You sure you’re ok?
Zelda: X, I can watch your kids for a few hours, it’s no biggie. Stop stressing.
Xavier: Well I was also referring to the whole thing with Simon too. I don’t know what’s going on, but you seemed pretty upset.
Zelda: *giggles* No, I’m fine, in fact maybe this will help me keep my mind off of it all, he’s been calling me like every hour for the past two days. I refuse to answer him, *winks* just like you told me to, “make him squirm a little”. Oh and thanks again for that and the whole dinner the other night by the way, it really helped... it was a good distraction.
[Xavier Cross puts his hand on Zelda’s upper arm and smiles at her, Zelda blushes a little and the two awkwardly stare at each other for what feels like ages before Cross pulls his arm away and shakes his head.]
Xavier: Well umm... Yeah, Adam is waiting. Later Z, and thanks again.
[Zelda smiles at Cross cutely before turning away and putting her bag on the bed as Cross heads out the door.]
The belt is finally back.
It’s been almost two years since I last held this title. It’s been almost 14 months since I had this title taken from me because I refused to sing that ridiculous low ball contract. In a way it feels weird to finally be holding it again, but in the same way it feels natural. This belt always felt like it was made for me, I was the first wrestler to touch it, I was the first person to put it over her shoulder, I was the first person to kiss it’s plate after victory. It feels weird... but it just feels right, like this is where it belonged all along.
It’s an amazing feeling. I fought for so long to get back to his point, I fought for so long just to be able to be myself again. I only have myself to blame for what happened, but it still feels good to recover and finally be the champ again.
You thought you could keep me away, you thought that I didn’t care anymore or that I was above chasing the title... I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t care or if I had the mindset of never trying to reclaim my title. I wouldn’t be me if I just sat back and watched as every other woman on the show got to have all the fun... and It wouldn’t be fair to the champion knowing that they are only champ because Zelda refuses to fight for it. I’m not Homeless Herald, I’m not the Zelda Knite that undertook the hostile takeover of Velez industries, I’m not the Zelda Knite that tried to retire at 21 to raise a family...
I’m the Zelda Knite that pinned Emma Danielson in the first ever Starlets match in NCW. I’m the Zelda Knite that first layed her hands on this belt as a 19 year old rookie. I’m the Zelda Knite that dislocated her shoulder and still won a handicap cage match to retain that title.... I’m the Zelda Knite that made every starlet’s life a living hell for ten months with only one loss...
I’m me again... and taking that belt at Sovereign, proves it.
I warned Kathy that I wasn’t going to back down, I told Emma that if they kept up their attempts at trying to rule the Starlets with an Iron fist that I was going to bring their world crashing around them and I did. It doesn’t matter if you stack the deck against me, I just fight harder, it doesn’t matter if you set up a three on one beatdown... I’ll just come back stronger. I’m “Little Mac” standing tall against Mike Tyson, I’m not going to back down and I’m not going to go out quietly. That’s just not who I am.
With NCW closing it looks like “The Legend of Zelda” finally has her story set in stone. Three time World Champion with a combined days as champion equally over a year. First World champion, first gladiator, first woman to main event an NCW PPV main event, The first and only Starlet inducted into the NCW Hall of Fame... and to think I almost gave all that up.
It’s good to be back where I belong. It’s good to be on the top again...
It’s good to be Zelda Knite again.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. This is the moment I’ve been fighting for.
This is what I’m all about.
[Zelda out from the other room of the connected hotel rooms where she just put the kids to bed and walks back into the other where she jumps on the edge of the bed and grabs her Nintendo 3DS and copy of Pokemon and goes to turn on the system when we suddenly hear the sounds of the Legend of Zelda theme playing... her cell phone obviously. Zelda grabs it and rolls her eyes and thinks about hanging up on the call, but instead something makes her answer it.]
Zelda: Fine Simon. What do you want? You’ve called or texted me every two hours. I don’t know if I want to talk to you right now, I’ve been ignoring your calls for a reason you know. The last time you didn’t want to talk about, you were more concerned with accusing me of crap I didn’t do! *sigh* Ugh, if you really want to talk and just don’t want to ridicule me some more, then fine. I’m at *says address*.
[After a quick fade out and right back in we’re there just as a small knock rings through the room and Zelda without any haste in her step, stands up and heads towards the door. Simon smiles sheepishly at his maybe ex-girlfriend but Zelda gives him no reaction at all.]
Simon: Why are you here? Who’s hotel room is this?
Zelda: Xavier Cross’s.
Simon: What the ****?
Zelda: Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m babysitting his kids for a few hours.
Simon: So you’re babysitting for him? Anything else you do for him?
Zelda: You know, you’re not starting this off good at all.
Simon: SORRY! It’s just you and I have been through a lot and I actually had to fight for you. When you were under Kelly’s control I took beatings just to be next to you and Kelly hated me being there. I stood by you every step of the way during the Homeless Herald thing and now I guess I’d never seen you with other guy friends before. Then you go and tell me everything I thought I knew about your past relationships was a lie and it was just too much.
[Zelda’s harsh expression softens as she softly smiles at him, looking a bit ashamed of herself. Feeling that maybe it wasn’t the best time to have that kind of bombshell dropped on him.]
Zelda: I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth from the beginning... but I didn’t know how to say “Oh by the way Simon... I was really with a lot of guys because that’s all guys used me for when I was younger.” There aren’t a lot of good breaks in Super Mario World to slip that one in, you know?
Simon: I see...
Zelda: And Simon, I can’t change what I’ve done. I can’t take back being a confused teenager just looking for....
[Zelda turns away, the memories and hurt feelings of what she’s referring to are getting to be too much and shamefully looks at the floor. Simon takes her by the chin and forces her to look at him.]
Simon: No no... it’s my fault, you shouldn’t have to feel sorry for anything, I just want you... I just want you and I to be together and none of that stuff matters because, I don’t want to lose you... I lo.... I... think I love you.
Zelda: R..r..really?
Simon: *nods*
[Zelda’s jaw drops as she remains speechless, she goes to say something but nothing comes out as she just stammers for a second. Eventually she just steps forward and puts her hands on Simon’s sides and looks up at him. The two embrace intimately as they passionately kiss. Zelda pulls Simon through the door and he presses her up against the wall, continuing to rub their hands across the other’s body. Zelda pulls away and looks at the open door to the kid’s half of the double room as she bites her lip shyly.]
Zelda: Go close the kid’s room door.
[Simon nods his head and in a hurry heads that direction.]
Zelda: I’m still mad at you for callin’ me a whore...
[Simon turns around and sees Zelda sitting on the edge of the bed now, he smiles as he nods his head before rushing over and knocking her down onto the bed. Simon lays on top of her, holding himself up with his hands, with her arms wrapped tightly around his neck as they kiss wildly. Simon pulls away for the purpose of removing Zelda’s pants but while attempting he looks down to the side of the bed and notices Zelda’s gym bag, partially open with the “Lady Dominicus” mask laying at the top. He stops and stares at it as Zelda leans up and gives his earlobe a bite as she tries to pull his shirt off.]
Simon: What’s that? Your Herald mask?
Zelda: No, my Lady Dominicus mask... come on, I don’t want the kids to catch us.
[Zelda tries to kiss him again, but clearly Simon’s mind is elsewhere. He blatantly ignores her and lets her fall back down to the bed, Zelda pulls away and sits up against the best post, looking at him very confused.]
Simon: Why are you carrying it around?
Zelda: This afternoon me and Rob went on a mission broadcasting our evil message, corrupting the souls of small chil...
Simon: WHAT!?
Zelda: Rob and me were goofing off at a Dave and Busters, it was so much fun. I pwned this little weiner kid at skee ball and helped Rob when a Razor scooter.
[Simon is clearly getting more and more agitated despite his best efforts not to. Zelda still seems confused at this and hasn’t caught on because she’s kinda slow at times. She leans forward and puts her hands on Simon’s cheeks, trying to look and see what is up when suddenly he jerks away and stands up from off the bed.]
Simon: Are you ****ing kidding me right now? You went on that date anyway!? Despite the fact that I was clearly upset about it and it clearly bothered me?!
Zelda: It wasn’t a date Simon...
Simon: Sure as hell seems like it, all the giggling and fun having and... I don’t ****ing know, it just sounds like you sure had a hell of a time for it being innocent!
Zelda: I’m sorry I didn’t think it would be a problem... we were fighting and nothing happened. I didn’t know you’d get upset.
Simon: Of course you didn’t know because you never pay attention to anybody but your ****ing self! It’s always about Zelda and what Zelda wants to do as long as Zelda is happy and having fun she doesn’t care about how anybody else feels, otherwise she’d stop contacting her *** damn ex-****buddy... or I maybe current ****buddy for all I know.
Zelda: Stop saying that about me! Look, just go. Clearly you aren’t over this yet. This was a mistake.
Simon: Here I’ll just leave and you can invite him over and be all cute and eccentric together.
Zelda: He doesn’t even want to be in a relationship right now, he’s in a custody battle with his kid’s mom!
Simon: How do you know, did you inquire about being with him!?
Zelda: Whh..what? Oh my God Simon, you’re being ridiculous right now.
Simon: No you’re being ridiculous!
Zelda: Good one. Would you please just go...
Simon: Zelda I’m just...
Zelda: No. No more. Just go before yous anything else to make this worse.
[Zelda is clearly tearing up now as she points towards the door, Simon lowers his head and sulks away after a deep sigh. After he’s gone, she runs up and locks the door and stops herself from crying with an angry look on her face while trying to be strong.]
You know what’s weird?
If this were three weeks ago I’d have no issues with this match. Me and Simon taking on The Perfect Couple of NCW. You know the woman who likes to be choked and the man who has done more choking than Tony Romo in football games, especially when it comes to the World title. Speaking of which... Hey Alex, remember that time I totally knocked you off that ladder and took the belt and gave it to Kyle? Those were fun times.
Ok I’m getting off track here.
Back to what I was saying: but now, with me and Simon fighting this match has taken a really annoying turn. I don’t know if Simon is even going to show up, he just might leave me out there to rot or he might come out just to make sure I don’t sleep with Alex. Which is ridiculous because everybody knows us Knites on screw the Joneses figuratively. So yea... this isn’t going to be one hell of an interesting matchup.
But, I know Simon. He’s a good guy at heart and he’s not going to half heartedly fight this match, and he’s not going to abandon me and despite what issues we might be having with each other we can still work well together as a team. We’ve trained together, we’ve sparred together, we have prepared to to be a team together just in case a situation like this were to ever arise, it’s just that we didn’t think we’d might be broken up at that point... but the training and messages are still there in her minds. When that bell rings, I know Simon will do his part to help us win, once that bell rings I know he can put down his petty views on this whole situation.
Anyway... congratulations on the Coliseum win there Alex. It only took you how many tries? I remember when you were in the second one, Adam had me backstage for the vent and I remember how you kept blaming Angel for the loss. I remember how you claimed he sold out and tapped to Adam before you could break the submission just because he was Part of the Revolution... it was all Angel’s fault that you weren’t going to A Night to Remember as number one contender. It’s weird to look back on that moment and remembering how I thought to myself “Wow that guy is throwing a Baby Bowser level temper tantrum there” and now after all these years looking at you and thinking “If I only knew then, what I know now” and realized it was going to become a common thing for you.
Always blaming somebody else because you weren’t good enough, always pointing the finger at another person claiming it was all their fault Just because you just weren’t good enough to make it happen. Wah, wah, boo, hoo... that’s all it ever seemed to be.. hopefully you got past that and I truly hope you put up a heck of a fight against Verona and maybe you’ll finally realize that dream of being NCW champion and you can become the other Husband/Wife team to at one point old NCW World Titles and speaking of which, don’t worry Alex I’ll finish my thought on you in a minute,
Shelly.
It feels like we have so much history together when we really have such little experience against each other. Maybe it’s because your original intention when signing up to wrestle was to get at me, maybe it’s because you took up your husband’s sword and tried to defend his honor by taking on the Knites only to get embarrassed on multiple occasions? I don’t know. Whatever it is.. it’s just hard to hate on you. You’re not my Bowser or my Sephiroth, you’re more like my Wario or better yet my Seifer from Final Fantasy 8. You’re a threat to me, you’re a capable opponent in your own right and I have no reason to look past you like you don’t matter... but in the grand scheme of things... there’s always bigger and more pressing matters to attend to.
There’s always a tougher, stronger, more intimidating opponent around the corner that I have to worry about more than you.
But go ahead Shelly. Say what you’re going to say about me. You’ve been crying about it ever since I was dating Rob how big of a brat I am how big of a spoiled little twat I was and how I thinkt he whole world has to revolve around me. I don’t care really. It’s not like anything you can throw at me is going to hurt worse than what my own boyfriend or exboyfriend or whatever he is now has been saying. Call me a tramp, a slut, a little whore who is like a thorn in your side it doesn’t matter, because none of that has anything to do with my wrestling skills.
I’ve already faced you one on one, I gave you the match you had been beggin’ for forever and you lost. I don’t have anything to prove here and I don’t have any reason to fight you. This is a match to me, nothing more and nothing less. Maybe it will mean some kind of redemption to you? I couldn’t tell you, only you can answer that... at the end of the day the only thing that matters to me is that I have proven that I can beat you, I have proven that I’m better than you. My three world title runs, my induction into the Hall of Fame... I don’t have anything to prove to you, and I don’t have to gain your respect for any reason. Hate me all you want and think whatever you want about me, because I’m still the Marcus Fenis of this Starlets division and you’re still the Carmine. Memorable... but in the big picture nothing but a side character...
where as I am still the main attraction.
Anyway, I’ve gone on long enough, but I do want to say that Alex... I hope you really can put yoru doubts to rest on this pay per view. You’ve been a hard fighting man in this company for a long time and I know Adam has a ton of respect for you, dating back from your epic battles against one another. However, I have just one request for you... do me a favor and when you’re in the ring with Simon... punch him a little harder for me ok? Dont’ get me wrong or anything I’m still going to try and pin your wife and prevent you from winning the match, but if you could just like I don’t know give him a cheap shot or two... that would be fantastic. K?
So what I guess what I’m saying in the end is that, it’s good to have a Knite and Jones match main event one of the last Collisions ever. I know Adam would want it that way, and I know the NCW fans do as well. Good luck and all that stuff that I’m supposed to say as a good sport but just remember this is still a game....
and in the end, you can always count on me having the high score.
Just deal with it.
[Zelda steps out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a bath towel around her to cover herself up and heads towards her bag. She sits on the edge of the bed and reaches in for some clothes but the first thing she accidentally grabs is the Lady Dominicus mask which she immediately drops. She takes a few deep breaths and it’s obvious everything that’s been on her mind gets to her as she breaks down and begins to softly cry with her face buried in her hands. Just then however, Xavier Cross comes walking into the room where he sees her and is instantly wowed to a point of his jaw dropping open and he’s unable to speak or look away. Zelda turns to him, and she herself is in disbelief that he’s there. Cross continues to stutter and not say a word until he can finally muster out a response.]
Xavier: Wow... I mean... I’m sorry I didn’t realize... I’ll be over here, not looking at you or anything...
Zelda: No, X, I’m sorry I didn’t realize you’d be back and I just got a shower real quick... you don’t have to run away... let me just...
Xavier: Hey... are you ok? What’s wrong?
Zelda: It’s nothing...
Xavier: Simon again?
[Zelda looks away trying to hide her face, a clear sign that Cross hit the nail on the head. XC heads and puts his hand on Zelda’s bare shoulder as he sits down next to her, Zelda turns her head and places her head on Cross’s chest and begins to explain herself.]
Zelda: Simon came over and he told me he loved me, but then he just flipped out again for no reason. It’s like nothing I can do is right anymore, I just don’t know what to do and it’s frustrating. It’s like I keeping just screwing things up at every turn...
Xavier: Hey come on, first you haven’t done anything wrong, so that’s on him. you’re not screwing anything up he is. He has an amazing, beautiful, successful girl like you wanting to be with him and he’s throwing it all away just because he can’t get over his jealousy. That’s not on you, that’s on him.
Zelda: Wow that is the nicest, smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say...
Xavier: And besides; YOLO! Who cares what him or anybody thinks, you just do whatever makes you happy because...
[Cross pulls Zelda off his chest slightly and looks her in the eyes as he puts his hand on her thigh to try comfort and make her feel his sincerity as he prepares for his next line.]
Xavier: Any guy with half a brain in his head could see how special you were and would feel lucky to be with you...
[Zelda looks at Cross’s hand on her thigh and then back up at him with those big blue eyes of hers and goes to say something but the words escape her. Cross looks at the sight of what grabbed Zelda’s attention and just now notices where he placed his hand.]
Zelda: Thank you.
[Zelda reaches up and puts her palm on his cheek while looking him in the eyes, she bites her bottom lip as they stare at each other momentarily almost close enough to kiss. Cross moves his hand slightly up her leg and to the inside of her thigh which causes her to take a sudden small gasp of air as she smiles. Zelda pulls Cross’s head as she lays back on the bed and now he’s position over the top of her, holding his position with his right hand. Cross moves his hand further up her leg and Z’s breathing gets deeper as he does, not objecting at any point. Xavier finally reaches a point and Zelda lets out another quick gasp followed by a soft moan. XC continues for a few seconds as Zelda breaths heavily, before he suddenly jumps up and looks frantic.]
Xavier: Wait no... no no... We can’t... you’re Adam’s sister and isn’t right, not right now.
[Zelda sits up and looks shocked herself as she tightens the towel around her, she nods her head in agreement.]
Zelda: Yeah..umm.. I really should get dressed, and get going... Gib might start getting worried about where I am.
Xavier: Yeah and I need to go... uhh... take the coldest shower ever.
[She giggles as Cross and her continue to stare at each other for a few moments before Cross forces himself away and heads towards the bathroom. Zelda lets out a deep breath as she closes her eyes, still breathing heavily, still quivering. She composes herself long enough to reach for her bag and we fade to black, finally.]
Xavier: Thanks for doing this champ.
Zelda: No problem, I did used to babysit for Brad Kane... I think I can handle “just” three.
Xavier: Adam said you wouldn’t mind, so we could go catch the game, but I just want to make sure. You sure you’re ok?
Zelda: X, I can watch your kids for a few hours, it’s no biggie. Stop stressing.
Xavier: Well I was also referring to the whole thing with Simon too. I don’t know what’s going on, but you seemed pretty upset.
Zelda: *giggles* No, I’m fine, in fact maybe this will help me keep my mind off of it all, he’s been calling me like every hour for the past two days. I refuse to answer him, *winks* just like you told me to, “make him squirm a little”. Oh and thanks again for that and the whole dinner the other night by the way, it really helped... it was a good distraction.
[Xavier Cross puts his hand on Zelda’s upper arm and smiles at her, Zelda blushes a little and the two awkwardly stare at each other for what feels like ages before Cross pulls his arm away and shakes his head.]
Xavier: Well umm... Yeah, Adam is waiting. Later Z, and thanks again.
[Zelda smiles at Cross cutely before turning away and putting her bag on the bed as Cross heads out the door.]
The belt is finally back.
It’s been almost two years since I last held this title. It’s been almost 14 months since I had this title taken from me because I refused to sing that ridiculous low ball contract. In a way it feels weird to finally be holding it again, but in the same way it feels natural. This belt always felt like it was made for me, I was the first wrestler to touch it, I was the first person to put it over her shoulder, I was the first person to kiss it’s plate after victory. It feels weird... but it just feels right, like this is where it belonged all along.
It’s an amazing feeling. I fought for so long to get back to his point, I fought for so long just to be able to be myself again. I only have myself to blame for what happened, but it still feels good to recover and finally be the champ again.
You thought you could keep me away, you thought that I didn’t care anymore or that I was above chasing the title... I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t care or if I had the mindset of never trying to reclaim my title. I wouldn’t be me if I just sat back and watched as every other woman on the show got to have all the fun... and It wouldn’t be fair to the champion knowing that they are only champ because Zelda refuses to fight for it. I’m not Homeless Herald, I’m not the Zelda Knite that undertook the hostile takeover of Velez industries, I’m not the Zelda Knite that tried to retire at 21 to raise a family...
I’m the Zelda Knite that pinned Emma Danielson in the first ever Starlets match in NCW. I’m the Zelda Knite that first layed her hands on this belt as a 19 year old rookie. I’m the Zelda Knite that dislocated her shoulder and still won a handicap cage match to retain that title.... I’m the Zelda Knite that made every starlet’s life a living hell for ten months with only one loss...
I’m me again... and taking that belt at Sovereign, proves it.
I warned Kathy that I wasn’t going to back down, I told Emma that if they kept up their attempts at trying to rule the Starlets with an Iron fist that I was going to bring their world crashing around them and I did. It doesn’t matter if you stack the deck against me, I just fight harder, it doesn’t matter if you set up a three on one beatdown... I’ll just come back stronger. I’m “Little Mac” standing tall against Mike Tyson, I’m not going to back down and I’m not going to go out quietly. That’s just not who I am.
With NCW closing it looks like “The Legend of Zelda” finally has her story set in stone. Three time World Champion with a combined days as champion equally over a year. First World champion, first gladiator, first woman to main event an NCW PPV main event, The first and only Starlet inducted into the NCW Hall of Fame... and to think I almost gave all that up.
It’s good to be back where I belong. It’s good to be on the top again...
It’s good to be Zelda Knite again.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. This is the moment I’ve been fighting for.
This is what I’m all about.
[Zelda out from the other room of the connected hotel rooms where she just put the kids to bed and walks back into the other where she jumps on the edge of the bed and grabs her Nintendo 3DS and copy of Pokemon and goes to turn on the system when we suddenly hear the sounds of the Legend of Zelda theme playing... her cell phone obviously. Zelda grabs it and rolls her eyes and thinks about hanging up on the call, but instead something makes her answer it.]
Zelda: Fine Simon. What do you want? You’ve called or texted me every two hours. I don’t know if I want to talk to you right now, I’ve been ignoring your calls for a reason you know. The last time you didn’t want to talk about, you were more concerned with accusing me of crap I didn’t do! *sigh* Ugh, if you really want to talk and just don’t want to ridicule me some more, then fine. I’m at *says address*.

Simon: Why are you here? Who’s hotel room is this?
Zelda: Xavier Cross’s.
Simon: What the ****?
Zelda: Don’t get the wrong idea, I’m babysitting his kids for a few hours.
Simon: So you’re babysitting for him? Anything else you do for him?
Zelda: You know, you’re not starting this off good at all.

[Zelda turns away, the memories and hurt feelings of what she’s referring to are getting to be too much and shamefully looks at the floor. Simon takes her by the chin and forces her to look at him.]
Simon: No no... it’s my fault, you shouldn’t have to feel sorry for anything, I just want you... I just want you and I to be together and none of that stuff matters because, I don’t want to lose you... I lo.... I... think I love you.
Zelda: R..r..really?

Simon: Sure as hell seems like it, all the giggling and fun having and... I don’t ****ing know, it just sounds like you sure had a hell of a time for it being innocent!
Zelda: I’m sorry I didn’t think it would be a problem... we were fighting and nothing happened. I didn’t know you’d get upset.
Simon: Of course you didn’t know because you never pay attention to anybody but your ****ing self! It’s always about Zelda and what Zelda wants to do as long as Zelda is happy and having fun she doesn’t care about how anybody else feels, otherwise she’d stop contacting her *** damn ex-****buddy... or I maybe current ****buddy for all I know.
Zelda: Stop saying that about me! Look, just go. Clearly you aren’t over this yet. This was a mistake.
Simon: Here I’ll just leave and you can invite him over and be all cute and eccentric together.
Zelda: He doesn’t even want to be in a relationship right now, he’s in a custody battle with his kid’s mom!
Simon: How do you know, did you inquire about being with him!?
Zelda: Whh..what? Oh my God Simon, you’re being ridiculous right now.
Simon: No you’re being ridiculous!
Zelda: Good one. Would you please just go...
Simon: Zelda I’m just...
Zelda: No. No more. Just go before yous anything else to make this worse.
[Zelda is clearly tearing up now as she points towards the door, Simon lowers his head and sulks away after a deep sigh. After he’s gone, she runs up and locks the door and stops herself from crying with an angry look on her face while trying to be strong.]
You know what’s weird?
If this were three weeks ago I’d have no issues with this match. Me and Simon taking on The Perfect Couple of NCW. You know the woman who likes to be choked and the man who has done more choking than Tony Romo in football games, especially when it comes to the World title. Speaking of which... Hey Alex, remember that time I totally knocked you off that ladder and took the belt and gave it to Kyle? Those were fun times.
Ok I’m getting off track here.
Back to what I was saying: but now, with me and Simon fighting this match has taken a really annoying turn. I don’t know if Simon is even going to show up, he just might leave me out there to rot or he might come out just to make sure I don’t sleep with Alex. Which is ridiculous because everybody knows us Knites on screw the Joneses figuratively. So yea... this isn’t going to be one hell of an interesting matchup.
But, I know Simon. He’s a good guy at heart and he’s not going to half heartedly fight this match, and he’s not going to abandon me and despite what issues we might be having with each other we can still work well together as a team. We’ve trained together, we’ve sparred together, we have prepared to to be a team together just in case a situation like this were to ever arise, it’s just that we didn’t think we’d might be broken up at that point... but the training and messages are still there in her minds. When that bell rings, I know Simon will do his part to help us win, once that bell rings I know he can put down his petty views on this whole situation.
Anyway... congratulations on the Coliseum win there Alex. It only took you how many tries? I remember when you were in the second one, Adam had me backstage for the vent and I remember how you kept blaming Angel for the loss. I remember how you claimed he sold out and tapped to Adam before you could break the submission just because he was Part of the Revolution... it was all Angel’s fault that you weren’t going to A Night to Remember as number one contender. It’s weird to look back on that moment and remembering how I thought to myself “Wow that guy is throwing a Baby Bowser level temper tantrum there” and now after all these years looking at you and thinking “If I only knew then, what I know now” and realized it was going to become a common thing for you.
Always blaming somebody else because you weren’t good enough, always pointing the finger at another person claiming it was all their fault Just because you just weren’t good enough to make it happen. Wah, wah, boo, hoo... that’s all it ever seemed to be.. hopefully you got past that and I truly hope you put up a heck of a fight against Verona and maybe you’ll finally realize that dream of being NCW champion and you can become the other Husband/Wife team to at one point old NCW World Titles and speaking of which, don’t worry Alex I’ll finish my thought on you in a minute,
Shelly.
It feels like we have so much history together when we really have such little experience against each other. Maybe it’s because your original intention when signing up to wrestle was to get at me, maybe it’s because you took up your husband’s sword and tried to defend his honor by taking on the Knites only to get embarrassed on multiple occasions? I don’t know. Whatever it is.. it’s just hard to hate on you. You’re not my Bowser or my Sephiroth, you’re more like my Wario or better yet my Seifer from Final Fantasy 8. You’re a threat to me, you’re a capable opponent in your own right and I have no reason to look past you like you don’t matter... but in the grand scheme of things... there’s always bigger and more pressing matters to attend to.
There’s always a tougher, stronger, more intimidating opponent around the corner that I have to worry about more than you.
But go ahead Shelly. Say what you’re going to say about me. You’ve been crying about it ever since I was dating Rob how big of a brat I am how big of a spoiled little twat I was and how I thinkt he whole world has to revolve around me. I don’t care really. It’s not like anything you can throw at me is going to hurt worse than what my own boyfriend or exboyfriend or whatever he is now has been saying. Call me a tramp, a slut, a little whore who is like a thorn in your side it doesn’t matter, because none of that has anything to do with my wrestling skills.
I’ve already faced you one on one, I gave you the match you had been beggin’ for forever and you lost. I don’t have anything to prove here and I don’t have any reason to fight you. This is a match to me, nothing more and nothing less. Maybe it will mean some kind of redemption to you? I couldn’t tell you, only you can answer that... at the end of the day the only thing that matters to me is that I have proven that I can beat you, I have proven that I’m better than you. My three world title runs, my induction into the Hall of Fame... I don’t have anything to prove to you, and I don’t have to gain your respect for any reason. Hate me all you want and think whatever you want about me, because I’m still the Marcus Fenis of this Starlets division and you’re still the Carmine. Memorable... but in the big picture nothing but a side character...
where as I am still the main attraction.
Anyway, I’ve gone on long enough, but I do want to say that Alex... I hope you really can put yoru doubts to rest on this pay per view. You’ve been a hard fighting man in this company for a long time and I know Adam has a ton of respect for you, dating back from your epic battles against one another. However, I have just one request for you... do me a favor and when you’re in the ring with Simon... punch him a little harder for me ok? Dont’ get me wrong or anything I’m still going to try and pin your wife and prevent you from winning the match, but if you could just like I don’t know give him a cheap shot or two... that would be fantastic. K?
So what I guess what I’m saying in the end is that, it’s good to have a Knite and Jones match main event one of the last Collisions ever. I know Adam would want it that way, and I know the NCW fans do as well. Good luck and all that stuff that I’m supposed to say as a good sport but just remember this is still a game....
and in the end, you can always count on me having the high score.
Just deal with it.
[Zelda steps out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a bath towel around her to cover herself up and heads towards her bag. She sits on the edge of the bed and reaches in for some clothes but the first thing she accidentally grabs is the Lady Dominicus mask which she immediately drops. She takes a few deep breaths and it’s obvious everything that’s been on her mind gets to her as she breaks down and begins to softly cry with her face buried in her hands. Just then however, Xavier Cross comes walking into the room where he sees her and is instantly wowed to a point of his jaw dropping open and he’s unable to speak or look away. Zelda turns to him, and she herself is in disbelief that he’s there. Cross continues to stutter and not say a word until he can finally muster out a response.]
Xavier: Wow... I mean... I’m sorry I didn’t realize... I’ll be over here, not looking at you or anything...
Zelda: No, X, I’m sorry I didn’t realize you’d be back and I just got a shower real quick... you don’t have to run away... let me just...
Xavier: Hey... are you ok? What’s wrong?
Zelda: It’s nothing...
Xavier: Simon again?
[Zelda looks away trying to hide her face, a clear sign that Cross hit the nail on the head. XC heads and puts his hand on Zelda’s bare shoulder as he sits down next to her, Zelda turns her head and places her head on Cross’s chest and begins to explain herself.]
Zelda: Simon came over and he told me he loved me, but then he just flipped out again for no reason. It’s like nothing I can do is right anymore, I just don’t know what to do and it’s frustrating. It’s like I keeping just screwing things up at every turn...
Xavier: Hey come on, first you haven’t done anything wrong, so that’s on him. you’re not screwing anything up he is. He has an amazing, beautiful, successful girl like you wanting to be with him and he’s throwing it all away just because he can’t get over his jealousy. That’s not on you, that’s on him.
Zelda: Wow that is the nicest, smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say...
Xavier: And besides; YOLO! Who cares what him or anybody thinks, you just do whatever makes you happy because...
[Cross pulls Zelda off his chest slightly and looks her in the eyes as he puts his hand on her thigh to try comfort and make her feel his sincerity as he prepares for his next line.]
Xavier: Any guy with half a brain in his head could see how special you were and would feel lucky to be with you...
[Zelda looks at Cross’s hand on her thigh and then back up at him with those big blue eyes of hers and goes to say something but the words escape her. Cross looks at the sight of what grabbed Zelda’s attention and just now notices where he placed his hand.]
Zelda: Thank you.
[Zelda reaches up and puts her palm on his cheek while looking him in the eyes, she bites her bottom lip as they stare at each other momentarily almost close enough to kiss. Cross moves his hand slightly up her leg and to the inside of her thigh which causes her to take a sudden small gasp of air as she smiles. Zelda pulls Cross’s head as she lays back on the bed and now he’s position over the top of her, holding his position with his right hand. Cross moves his hand further up her leg and Z’s breathing gets deeper as he does, not objecting at any point. Xavier finally reaches a point and Zelda lets out another quick gasp followed by a soft moan. XC continues for a few seconds as Zelda breaths heavily, before he suddenly jumps up and looks frantic.]
Xavier: Wait no... no no... We can’t... you’re Adam’s sister and isn’t right, not right now.
[Zelda sits up and looks shocked herself as she tightens the towel around her, she nods her head in agreement.]
Zelda: Yeah..umm.. I really should get dressed, and get going... Gib might start getting worried about where I am.
Xavier: Yeah and I need to go... uhh... take the coldest shower ever.
[She giggles as Cross and her continue to stare at each other for a few moments before Cross forces himself away and heads towards the bathroom. Zelda lets out a deep breath as she closes her eyes, still breathing heavily, still quivering. She composes herself long enough to reach for her bag and we fade to black, finally.]
