SCENE 1 (02/11/18 : Tallahassee, Florida)
The scene opens up backstage of Donald L. Tucker Center center in Tallahassee Florida where Law is taking place. Security has flooded the scene, pulling apart Elizabeth Blackwell and Roxy Cotton who were both counted out of their match. They have the two girls seperated and far enough apart that they aren’t lunging at each other anymore. Elizabeth watches Roxy walk away before she moptions to hitting one of the security guys and heading on her own way to the locker room. She walks through the door and stops as she is being glared at by Annie. She looks confused at this look from her manager.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
What’s the matter with you?
{Annie Fugate}
What do you mean “What’s the matter with you?” You know what’s wrong. Explain yourself.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Look she said she wanted to met in private and I respected her wishes.
Annie raises an eyebrow, her mad look turning to confusion of her own.
{Annie Fugate}
What are you on about?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Nothing, what are you on about?
{Annie Fugate}
I’m on about the fact that you lost. All my hard work and you’ve already ruined your undefeated streak. Against the wannabe Dixie chick to boot.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Well you know if you’d come to ringside to be a manager instead of watching from the back you’d have seen that we both got counted out. It’s a draw..
{Annie Fugate}
You did not win the match.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
But I wasn’t defeated. So I’m still undefeated. A draw is not a loss.
{Annie Fugate}
A draw is not a win either though. I’m still disappointed in you. I taught you better than to ignore the referees count. You threw her over the guardrail with plenty of time to get back in the ring and beat the count. You could have had the easy win.
Elizabeth rolls her eyes as she walks to her locker and pulls out her street clothes..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I know a win is a win but I don’t want to beat the champion like that. When I beat her I want it to be in the middle of the ring. That is how I prove that I’m ready to be a champion. Besides, I could be just as mad as you. She had Maxine out there to help her and you were nowhere to be seen.
{Annie Fugate}
I would have been out there if you needed it but you are more than capable of taking those two out by yourself if need be. Besides before you get to worked up you might like to know what I secured for you. Namely for Rising Stars in two weeks.
Elizabeth stops digging through her clothes and turns and looks at Annie who gives her a smug smile..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You finally got me some Blackout Cake? I’ve been wanting to try that forever.
{Annie Fugate}
Something much better than cake.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Don’t be ridiculous Annie there is nothing better than cake.
{Annie Fugate}
Do you want to know what you are getting or not?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Sure Annie, what do you have for me this time.
{Annie Fugate}
A rematch with your little brawling buddy from a few minutes ago. Little Miss Roxy Cotton. You are facing her again at Rising Stars. Except something will be slightly different.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Well I’m kind of hoping for maybe no countout or a cage or something. Some way that she has to face me down instead of trying to make a run for it when she notices she can’t win.
{Annie Fugate}
How about for the Chaos championship?
Elizabeth blinks blankly, the news not quite sinking in yet
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Wait. This time it’s for the championship? How’d I get a title shot when I’m still new?
{Annie Fugate}
Well you are “undefeated” and you did just stand toe to toe with the champion. That’s more than enough to earn a title shot. Now you have to be sure you do one little thing differently this time.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Really? What’s that?
{Annie Fugate}
Don’t get counted out again. The title can’t change hands on a count out or disqualification. This time you have to beat her in the middle of the ring. I expect to see that gold around your waist in two weeks.
Annie smirks as she grabs the HSW Women’s championship and leaves the room. Elizabeth scoffs and rolls her eyes.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You certainly have a way of turning words of encouragement into hateful sarcasm.
She finishes grabbing her street clothes and disappears to the back to shower and change as the scene fades out.
SCENE 2 (02/14/18) : Rapid City, South Dakota
It’s Valentine’s Day but since Elizabeth isn’t in a relationship, she has decided to come home and visit with her father. Not her real dad of course, he died in war when she was five but her adoptive father. He is an older British gentleman, wearing pants and a Queens Park Rangers jersey that Liz got him for father’s day last year. Elizabeth is wearing black pants and a Minnesota Vikings jersey. They are currently watching M.A.S.H. Elizabeth doesn’t care for it much but her dad loves it so she pretty much just daydreams as they watch it. She’d play on her phone but that’s rude and she likes spending time with him. It’s been three years since her adoptive mother passed away. He is doing better now but some holidays are pretty rough on him. The show goes to a commercial and he turns to her smiling
{Dave Blackwell}
So how are things going kid?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Pretty good dad. Enjoying wrestling for LAW and even hanging out with Annie even though sometimes she drives me crazy. But honestly since Monica, she is probably the best friend I’ve ever had.
{Dave Blackwell}
That’s good.
He is giving her a strange look. She just smiles weakly, wondering what is going through his mind.
{Dave Blackwell}
I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to answer me honestly.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Of course dad, what is it?
{Dave Blackwell}
Are you gay?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
What?? No!.
{Dave Blackwell}
Are you sure? You do like to spend a lot of time with this Annie girl plus your old friend Monica turned out to be gay.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
No dad I can assure you that I’m straight..
{Dave Blackwell}
It’s okay if you are kid, I’ll still love you all the same.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
That’s great dad but again I’m straight. Not that I’m saying there is anything wrong with it, everyone has the right to live their lives however makes them happy..
{Dave Blackwell}
So have you met any guys in Law yet?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
LADIES of Wrestling dad. Not a whole lot of guys hanging around there. Well…..not many backstage. Tons of them follow the show and haunt the outside to try and get autographs and stuff.
{Dave Blackwell}
You should set up some dates or something. I don’t want you to be alone.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Dad I’m only nineteen. I have plenty of time to worry about dating and all that nonsense later. Right now I just want to focus on my wrestling career. I got a title shot coming up. .
{Dave Blackwell}
I still don’t quite understand the point of these big gold belts..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Think of it like the World Cup in Football. It means you are the best in the company. And if I can beat a veteran like Roxy in only my fourth match, it would be huge.
{Dave Blackwell}
But that little place of yours has twenty titles.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
There is only five titles So maybe it is more like winning the Division title in the NFL. It’s the first step in winning the bigger titles and one day being the Law champion.
{Dave Blackwell}
Of course winning a division title is nothing for my Patriots. They do it every year..
Elizabeth blows a raspberry and gives her dad a thumbs down.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Didn’t save them from getting beat down at the Superbowl.
{Dave Blackwell}
Remind me again who beat your little Vikings out of the championship game
He gives her a cocky smile to which she chuckles.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Touche. I just hope I can win this title and hold it until Maya returns. I can’t wait to rub it in her smug little face..
{Dave Blackwell}
You know you should really let it go. It’s sad that Monica forgot about you but it happens. You can’t let it rule your life.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Annie said I should let it drive me. Push me to be better than her and Maya. Prove to her that she choose wrong picking Maya as her best friend over me
{Dave Blackwell}
Right. And you are sure you’re not gay?
She gives him an exasperated groan. She glances at her watch and slowly climbs to her feet.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Anyways dad I’m going to head to my apartment now. I have to get up in the morning for some training.
{Dave Blackwell}
Don’t leave just yet sweetie, I was just teasing you. I got you a Valentine’s Day present. Hold on.
He stands up and disappears into the kitchen as Elizabeth sits back down. He comes back a few moments later with a heart shaped cake. Elizabeth smiles brightly as she stands up and gives him a hug.
{Dave Blackwell}
It’s dark chocolate, your favorite. I know it’s not as good as your mom use to make but the store said it was a top seller. Happy Valentines day Liz. I love you.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I love you too dad. Thanks..
She sits down, taking the fork he brought her and opening up her cake. He smiles happily as he sits down and turns his attention back to the TV. This is how the scene fades out.
SCENE 3 (02/??/18) : Undisclosed
The scene opens up in a dimly lit hospital room. Everything is run down and old, the place seeming to have been abandoned for several years. The light flickers and Elizabeth Blackwell appears, holding a clipboard that she is reading. She is in her black pants with the flames at the bottom and the black tube top under the short red vest. She tisks a few times shaking her head
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Look at all these symptoms that Roxy Cotton has. A fever of only about one degree above normal. Chills and achy this and that. I’d have to diagnose her with a serious condition. I call it whiny baby syndrome. I think she realized that I wasn’t intimidated by her. That just because she holds that title proudly, doesn’t mean I’m nervous about facing her. And I proved that on Law when I stood toe to toe with her. I fought her tooth and nail even after she tried to run from the ring and have herself disqualified. I kept coming even after she was begging for Maxine to save her. And if she thinks it was bad then, she has no idea what she is tune for this time. I think for her treatment I’m going to prescribe a size seven boot up her ass. I’ll even let her choose which one.
She taps the side of her boots as she drops the clipboard on a bed. The light flickers and she has moved closer to the camera, a small smile on her face
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You know something Roxy, I like you. Not in a buddy, hang out after the show kind of way. As a wrestler, I like you. You are the type of person I can look up too. But as it stands now, you are just in my way. You see, I want your championship. I want that title around my waist. I want to be a champion. I want the name Elizabeth Blackwell to have some meaning. And to do that Roxy, I have to defeat you. That’s why I said earlier that what you saw at Law was just the tip of the iceberg. I’m preparing to give you even more of a fight then I did last time. And I won’t make the rookie mistake of getting myself counted out this time. It doesn’t end until one of us is pinned or made to submit in the middle of the ring. I’m in this until you pretty much knock me out cold. I hope you are prepared for the same.
The light flickers again and this time Elizabeth is sitting down on the edge of one of the old beds, kicking her feet out in front of her.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I know that deep down inside Roxy, you probably don’t believe I’m worthy of a title match against you. There are probably tons of other women here in Law who are much more capable of facing you. Of course with that being said, you are probably glad it is me getting the shot. Because you think I’m going to be an easy win for you. This is only my fourth ever match. And I proved last week that I’m prone to making rookie mistakes. But you can’t question my heart Roxy. You see as important as being a champion is, it is more important that I help Annie achieve our goal. To take over Law so when Maya returns with little Monica in tow, we can smash them out of our company. That all starts with you Roxy. It didn’t start with Clementine who I was able to beat without even breaking a sweat. It didn’t start with Maki who was all bark and no bite. It starts with you. The fighting champion. Two time champion and soon to be a two time former champion. I promise to continue your tradition of making the Chaos title mean something again..
The light flickers again and now Elizabeth is standing by an IV machine, swinging the line back and forth like a pendulum.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You see Roxy, I asked you last week what you’re afraid of. And the more I watch you, the more I’m figuring out. You are afraid of letting down your fiance Vinnie. He will figure out that you being just a trophy girlfriend isn’t good enough for him anymore. You are afraid that the four people who call themselves RoxStars. But more than anything you are afraid that you will see that all your talk will be for nothing when a nineteen year old in only the second year of her career in only her fourth match will beat you in the middle of the ring and show the entire LAW universe that Roxy Cotton is all smoke and mirrors. That in the history of a title that has had champions like Samantha Tolson and Kenzi Grey, you’ll be just a footnote in the titles history. What we in the business call a transitional champion. No matter your fears, I’ll make them come true. Rising Stars two thousand and eight. My first ever pay per view. And my gift to you Roxy is a simple greeting
The light flickers as Elizabeth is now right in front of the camera, her face taking up the entire screen
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Welcome to your nightmare.
The light flickers one last time and Elizabeth disappears. One of the machines springs to life, a life line beeping. It slows down until it flatlines, showing exactly what Elizabeth plans to have happen to Roxy’s championship reign. The flatline tone continues until the light flicker out, bathing the scene in darkness.
