SCENE 1: December 18th, 2017
The scene opens up in a small diner on the outskirts of Washington D.C. In the back corner at a booth sits two women. One has long black hair and is wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. The one across from her has fire red hair and is wearing a red tube top shirt under a short black vest and black pants with fire at the bottom of them. The girls with black hair watches the red head as she nibbles on a french fry. The redhead is going through some paperwork, looking a little annoyed.
{Annie Fugate}
Is there a problem Liz?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
No. I’m good.
Annie chuckles as she takes a drink of her milkshake.
{Annie Fugate}
You can speak your mind Liz. I won’t get mad.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Fine. I don’t see the point in me joining Law.
Annie slowly puts down her milkshake as Liz looks up from her paperwork.
{Annie Fugate}
I thought it was clear. You need to start putting your training to the test. And since High Stakes Wrestling folded, we had to find a new place for you to debut. Why not Law?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You know the only reason I came to you to help finish my training and that was to go after Monica. She’s not in Law. In fact, I hear she is probably going to retire again. The whole reason for me to get into a career is gone now. .
{Annie Fugate}
Mizore isn’t done yet, I can assure you of that. And it all ties into her little girlfriend Maya. You see, Maya use to wrestle here. In fact, she will be back after her little hiatus. And wherever she is, Mizore won’t be far behind. We just need to make sure that once Maya returns, we make her life a living hell.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
So why don’t I just wait until she returns?
{Annie Fugate}
Because you can do much more damage to her if you grow both as a competitor and as her rival. By winning titles here that she never could. By beating people who are better than her so you will blank her before she even has a chance to face you. Trust me, you will enjoy the ride. Beating new people and winning championships. Showing Mizore that she picked the wrong person when she abandoned your friendship for the little goblin.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I guess I understand. It’s going to be tough though. You had a lot of experience in HSW and could give me pointers against anyone I might run into.
{Annie Fugate}
Yeah I don’t know who any of these people are. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you go out there and make a name for yourself. It’s a clean slate. No one knows who you are. And no one is going to take you seriously until you give them reason to. As soon as you get your first match. That will be your time to shine. And I’ll be standing in your corner, pointing you down the path of victory.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I still don’t understand why you didn’t sign a contract. Don’t you miss wrestling already.
{Annie Fugate}
{Annie Fugate}
All in good time Liz. Right now I just want to see what LAW has to offer. See if the competition is good enough for the one and only HSW Women’s Champion.
Annie looks away just in time for Liz to roll her eyes. Elizabeth finishes the last page of the paperwork and places it in the folder. She slides it forward to Annie..
{Annie Fugate}
Fantastic. I’ll get this turned in right away. Apparently they are on a break until after the new year but I’m sure we can get you a match for Law seventy five next year. For now we will just keep up with your training so you will be ready to go.
The waitress comes by and places a large piece of red velvet cake in front of Liz, making her eyes light up. She grabs her fork and starts digging in as Annie just shakes her head.
{Annie Fugate}
I thought I told you to cut down on sweets. It’s not good for you.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Thou shall not put down cake. Cake is life!
She continues to wolf down the cake as Annie just chuckles lightly. She goes through Elizabeth’s resume and application, looking for mistakes as the scene fades out.
SCENE 2: January 6th, 2018
The scene begins in a dimly lit room where a single light bulb is hanging down from the ceiling, casting a dim glow to the room. The light bulb flickers, like something out of a bad dream. Suddenly you can hear someone humming the tune of “Darling Clementine” During one of the blinks, Elizabeth seems to appear out of nowhere. She continues humming the song for a moment until glancing up at the camera.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I’d like to welcome you all to a first. My debut in the sport of professional wrestling. With what happened in HSW and Sole Survivor never taking place, I never got to make my big debut. But nothing will stop me now. And maybe this isn’t the home I expected to be in. But it is a place I will soon make my own. All eyes will be on me as I make my debut. And people will look to see if I’m a contender or a pretender. Guess you will see soon enough fellow competitors of Law. I hope you like what you see.
She chuckles as the light flickers again and she seems to move to another side of the room. She crosses her arms over her chest as she looks into the camera.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
And what fun is it going to be as I take on another person making her debut in Law. Darling Clementine. What a unique name. Are you the daughter of a miner? Did you drive ducklings to the water where you met your watery end? All joking aside Clementine, I have no idea what to look forward to with you. I’ve done a little research and I know the gist of your game plan. I know that won’t mean much when the bell actually wins, but it at least gives me a little warning. But I hope that you don’t think you are going to come out and make a fool out of me. You might like to play around a little before you get serious but if you do that to me, I’ll put you away before you know what hit you. I have a move that I can hit out of anywhere at any time. I’ll have you seeing Red long before you have a chance to “get serious”.
The light flickers again as she moves closer to the camera. She turns her head slightly to the side, looking at the camera questionably..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
So tell me Clementine, what is your nightmare? Spiders? Snakes? No, I think you are a bit to strong for something that basic. No, I think your nightmare is people realizing the truth. That despite how hard you try to show them otherwise, you are no ghoul. You are just a little girl trying to act tough. So try your best to take a bite out of me. You will find quickly that this little redhead is to bitter for your taste. I don’t care about how I beat you Clementine. I don’t care how long it takes. All I care about is that I do beat you. And you will be beat. Because I refuse to lose on my debut. You are just a trademark example of what wrong place at the wrong time really means.
She chuckles as she slowly turns as the light flickers again, her now being a bit farther back as she starts to sing softly.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine.
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry Clementine.
The light flickers as now she is right in front of the camera, her brown eyes burning with fury.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Welcome to your nightmare.
Another flicker and Elizabeth disappears, only the sound of her humming ‘Darling Clementine’ can be heard slowly fading away before the scene goes to black.
