With LAW Double Shot looming, the company was on an all-out media blitz as it pushed the brand out to the public. Stars were putting on appearances all over the place, it was inescapable, everywhere you looked. Queen of the Ring had been a phenomenal success…the largest show ever. Now Double Shot was going to be the largest regular event ever…and I wasn’t even going to be part of it. I had spent the better part of last week bitching about that, but my friends had ‘enlightened’ me to the fact that all my yelling and screaming was never going to get me anywhere.
So now, I’m playing the part of Corporate Kenzi…a proud solider for LAW, just doing my job and plugging away in the trenches! There is no better way to do that than to sign autographs and take pictures with the fans. I don’t like doing it…not for the company that refuses to give me the opportunity that I earned, but I promised Nina Stokes, Melissa Reaves, and Katie Anderson that I would not be a loudmouth jackass. I know they mean well, but suffering in silence isn't my ace in the hole...I have a manager working behind the scenes to make sure I get what I deserve!
So I'll smile when they tell me to and I'll dance when they ask! I hug the fans…sign the pictures and pretend to love it...because I don't love it...I fucking hate it!
As I look around, I wonder who else got tricked into doing this shit!

Sitting a few tables down, a slightly tall and athletic-looking woman signs some autographs. Her line is small but the few fans assembled seem VERY excited. With each autograph, the woman gives a nice grin. As the line thins out, the woman takes a moment to look around and catches sight of Kenzi.
The expression she gives is restrained but civil but the eye contact definitely seemed to signal that things weren't just going to end woth a glance.

I looked over and saw Sam, Alex’s friend and partner in the Full Force Brigade. I mulled over just ignoring her and going about my business, but my friends wouldn’t have wanted that. I was expected to be civil, whether I wanted to or not. I plastered on a smile and moved down to her table, gesturing to the empty seat, “Do you mind?”
I didn’t bother waiting for an answer as I sat down, and turned to her, sticking out my hand. “Sam, isn’t it? Yeah…I remember you! Welcome to LAW!” I kept my smile even, “You going to Double Shot with Alex?”
Sam once again smiled, but it seemed half-hearted.
Sam: Yeah, I was able to get a seat in the front row. Helps me to keep an eye on this Alexis Blake. Not that she'll need me to give her a black eye. Alex has deffo got that in the bag.
Sam smirks to herself before turning back to Kenzi.
Sam: By the way, I'm glad your dog's okay after what Blake did to him.

I couldn’t help but to smile at this, it was good that Dog was in one piece, more or less. I had to admit, it made me feel good that Sam had bothered to say anything. I was still wary of her, just like I was now wary of Alex. She wasn’t the same girl I knew and I felt she now had an agenda, regardless of what she said. “So, what do you and Alex have planned here together in LAW? You guys gonna make a run at those tag team titles?”
I laughed, “Alex and I were a team a few times…but for the most part, I kinda messed things up. She probably told you all about that though…maybe a few more things I messed up too…”
Seeing Kayla, I turned and waved, hoping she would come over and run interference with Sam for me. "Hey girl! Come over here!"

I give Kayla a pat on the back. I had met her a few weeks prior and we had shared lunch together before my ex…assuming it was even fair to call her that, dropped in on us. I had learned a little bit about her in that time, mostly that she and her family were loaded. “Hey Kay, I caught you in Queen of the Ring, you looked good out there. Keep your head up, there’s a lot of competition these days.”
I sit back as Sam introduces herself to Kayla, watching the expression on Kayla’s face with interest as Sam mentions the injury to Alex that occurred in their match. It was a bit awkward with the connection of the three of us to Alex, but in the end there was no real animosity. The injury had been an accident. As close as Sam was to Alex, I felt that I had even been closer…the girl had nearly become my wife. If I didn’t hold a grudge, I doubted Sam would.
As my phone as it buzzes I glance down and what I see there makes me nearly jump out of my chair with excitement. “OH MY GOD!! I’M GONNA BE ON DOUBLE SHOT!!” I stare at the two women and before I know what I’m doing I run over and hug them both in turn, startling them I’m sure, but I’m not neglectful because I start hugging fans as well as I jump around. “I AM FACING THE QUEEN OF THE RING ON DOUBLE SHOT SUNDAY NEXT WEEK!!”
I had been so angry about being left off the show that I had nearly lost a lot of my friends with my tirades against LAW and management. I had especially been angry about Alexis facing Alex, since that was the match that I had wanted…and still wanted even now, but this opportunity was better. I could wait to face Alex down the road. With Mindy De Santiago deciding to take a leave of absence, opportunity was knocking and I was ready to answer.
Orchid walks in excited as one can be. She is seen wearing a white shaolin monk robe. Orchid looks around and sees all types of fans everywhere. Orchid is stopped by a few fans before she can reach an empty booth she can use. Fans ask if they can take pictures with the new LAW Breakout Champion, Orchid is more then happy to comply.

As soon as I see Orchid, I jump up, abruptly leaving the table as I charge over and jump into my friend’s arms, tackling her like Tigger on Winnie the Poo! I hope she doesn’t get mad as I smother her face with kisses. I don’t think our relationship has progressed that far yet…but I don’t care since I’m overjoyed to see her. I finally let her go, holding her back and staring at him with a huge grin on my face. “HEY O! I’m sooooooooo PROUD OF YOU!!”
I hug her again, holding her a little too tightly. While I am very proud of her, I am also incredibly jealous. I had thought that I would also be a champion by now…but LAW didn’t feel my efforts were worthy of opportunity. Orchid capitalized on the biggest stage in all of LAW against the toughest woman in all of LAW. There was a lot to be jealous of…but more than that, I considered her a friend.
As Orchid fixes her robe, she smiles at Kenzi. Orchid is excited to see her friend, even more so to see her happy knowing how everything has been for Kenzi both in the ring and in her personal life.
Orchid: I'm happy to see you to.
Orchid turns to the right as she sees a fan approaching, The fan wants to take a selfie. Orchid leans in with the fans. Orchid grabs Kenzi by the hand to pull her in to the picture. The fans thanks them both. Orchid nods at the fan then turns back to Kenzi.
Orchid: So it looks like your back to 100% Thank god, when I came to visit you in the ICU...
Orchid leans in closer to Kenzi and in a low tone of voice
Orchid: You looked like a beat up Pinata, oh and since your here I hope you don't mind taking pictures with me
Orchid leans back, a fan taps her shoulder. Orchid turns around and sees a fan asking if she can take a picture with her. Orchid nods and removes her title from her right shoulder, Orchid places the belt over the fans shoulder, the fans eyes lights up as if Orchid just made her day. Orchid again pulls Kenzi in to be the picture as well. The fan thanks Orchid by giving her a bow. Orchid bows back at the fan. The fan removes the belt from her shoulder, she looks at it for a few seconds then looks at Orchid.
Fan: I hope I can be the LAW Breakout Champion some day.
Orchid: Well do good in school, when you finish find a wrestling school to train you. After that Kenzi and I will be waiting for you.
Kenzi smiles at the fan as the fan hands Orchid the title.

As I watch Orchid interacting with the fans and I see the joy it brings to them I can’t help but to wonder why I don’t feel anything at all like that. Perhaps it was because I still holding people at a distance from myself emotionally. With friends like Orchid and the others, it was easy for me let down my guard a little and do what was expected. It made me feel accepted when they smiled at me and called me their friend…I was a little less jealous and a little less angry. Perhaps, if I tried a bit harder to be like Orchid and the others, things would change…maybe I would change.
I pushed those thoughts aside and put my arm over her shoulder, “So…big time match next week girl…a champion’s challenge. What do you think? You gonna go out there and give em’ hell?” Again came that pang of jealous, but I swallowed it back down. I might not have been in the main event, but a high profile match against the reigning Queen of the Ring was plenty good enough.
