SCENE 1 (02/03/18 : Sweetwater, Texas)
The scene opens up in a TA Travel Center in Sweetwater Texas. There is a little restaurant in the truck stop where Elizabeth Blackwell is hanging around, drinking on some sweet tea. She is wearing a Minnesota Vikings jersey and black pants. She looks toward the exit, starting to seem like she is getting a little annoyed. She glances at her watch.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Geez Jess, you aren’t very punctual.
She shakes her head as the waitress walks by, not ready to order just yet. Finally she gives a half smile as she stands. A blond headed chick wearing a bright yellow shirt and blue jeans walks over and gives her a big hug. It is Annie’s half sister Jessica. They sit down across from each other.

{Jessica Fugate}
Sorry it took me so long. It took me awhile to convince mom to go shopping on her own and not follow me here. I see you ditched Annie.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Yeah she thinks I’m in Minnesota visiting my dad. She’d kill me if she knew I was meeting with you..
Jessica looks down embarrassed. Elizabeth doesn’t say anything else, just watches Jessica with interest.
{Jessica Fugate}
So umm….how is Annie?.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Why don’t you call and talk to her?.
{Jessica Fugate}
After all the years of her lying to me about my mom being dead? I can never forgive her for that.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
She did it for you. Your mom never wanted to have anything to do with you until you became a wrestler and started making good money.
{Jessica Fugate}
She says that Annie and dad kept her locked out of my life.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
And you believe her over your dad and Annie. I know I’ve only known her about a year now and I know that Annie can be cruel and heartless but I really don’t believe she’d pull something like that..
{Jessica Fugate}
She’s my mom. Why would she not want to be in my life? Even if….
Jessica trails off as she looks down at her menu. Elizabeth feels like there is more that she was going to say. The waitress comes back by as both girls order a hamburger and some french fries.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
So why did you want to meet up with me so bad?
{Jessica Fugate}
Can’t I meet up with one of my besties just to catch up?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
We aren’t besties. We barely even talked during the times I was training with Annie. What is this really about?
Jessica looks down at her drink. She seems to be trying to find the words. Elizabeth just watches her, giving her a chance to come clean.
{Jessica Fugate}
Well it’s just that, can we keep this just between us?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
My lips are sealed.
{Jessica Fugate}
It’s just that sense I moved in with mom, I’ve been paying for the rent and the bills. She keeps telling me that she’s in between jobs right now but I’m not sure she is even really looking. And when I try and tell her stories about growing up or wrestling, she just doesn’t seem to be very interested. It just sometimes makes me wonder if maybe…..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Annie was telling you the truth all along?
Elizabeth finishes her sentence. Jessica nods, still looking down at the table. Elizabeth is confused about something.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
So why aren’t you telling Annie this?
{Jessica Fugate}
I can’t admit that I might have been wrong. She’ll never let me hear the end of it. Not only that but you know how she is. She’d show up on our doorstep and probably want to fight mom. I don’t know what to do. What do you think?
Elizabeth has to think about it for a moment. Jessica is right, Annie would wreak havoc if she knew her sister was being mistreated. She will never forget the time Annie snapped at her for calling Jessica a bitch for running off with her mom..
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Maybe you should just draw the line with your mom. Let her know that you are her daughter and not just a meal ticket.
{Jessica Fugate}
Is that what you would do if it was your real mom coming back into your life?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
My real mom has been dead for thirteen years. I’d probably have a heart attack if she showed up on my doorstep. Speaking of, we got company.
Storming up to the table is Jessica’s mom, Patricia Ellis. She is wearing a green skirt and a matching top. Her light blonde hair mixed with some streaks of white. She walks up to the table, looking down at Jessica..
{Patricia Ellis}
You lied to me. I thought you said you were going to the bank to get some money out of your savings.
{Jessica Fugate}
Hi mom. I was going to go right after lunch. My good friend Liz...
{Patricia Ellis}
I know who this little red headed bitch is. She’s that girl your sister is training. Are you trying to undermine me? After everything your sister did to us? We are leaving, let’s go Jess.
She grabs Jess rather roughly by the arm and pulls her from the table. Elizabeth is up in a flash but stops in her tracks when Jessica shakes her head. Elizabeth sits back down as Jessica walks off with her mom who is going on about loyalty. Elizabeth sighs as the food arrives. What is she going to do about this? Should she involve Annie? She has a lot to think about as she also prepares for her next Law match.
SCENE 2 (02/11/18) : Tallahassee, FL
The crowd is packed into the arena, ready for Law to take place. Backstage all the divas are walking around, preparing for their matches in their own ways. Standing by the Law logo is interviewer Carmen Diaz. She smiles into the camera as the feed goes live.
{Carmen Diaz}
Hello Law fans, Carmen Diaz here. Joining me at this time is new Law recruit Elizabeth Blackwell.
She motions over as Elizabeth walks up to her, looking unsure as she stands next to Carmen. She is in her black pants with the red flames at the bottom and red tube top shirt under the short vest. Behind her walks Annie Fugate. She is wearing black pants with stars on them and a crescent moon along with a black shirt and the High Stakes Wrestling Women’s championship around her waist. Carmen seems a bit uneasy with Annie standing behind them but she just smiles as she looks at Elizabeth who looks at the camera and gives a slight smile.
{Carmen Diaz}
You have been on a bit of a tear here since your debut a little over a month ago. Not only did you defeat Darling Clementine in your debut, but last Law you defeated Maki to remain undefeated. You must be feeling pretty good about yourself right now..
She holds the microphone out to Elizabeth who looks at it for a moment and back at the camera. She seems to be a bit nervous, this being her first interview. She glances back at Annie who motions her to go on. Elizabeth clears her throat.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
I would be very proud of myself if not for the fact that this should be no big surprise. I was trained at Chaos Wrestling All Stars by Christy Chaos. I was fine tuned by the greatest women’s champion of all time in Annie Fugate. If anything should be a surprise, it’s that someone like Clementine actually held her own for as long as she did. I should have beaten her in about ten seconds..
{Carmen Diaz}
And what about Maki? Should you have beaten her quicker than you did?
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
You know a few weeks ago, Maki said she liked me. And you know what, I like her too. She was as tough as they come and I gained a lot…..
Elizabeth is pulled back by Annie who starts explaining something to her the camera can’t hear. Elizabeth seems to argue with her a bit at first before Annie points to her title. Elizabeth finally nods and walks back to her spot next to Carmen.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
As I was saying. Maki did a lot of talking on Twitter about what she planned to do to me. But in the end, she couldn’t do anything. Because Maki is simply all talk and very little action. I honestly would have enjoyed a lot more dragging the match out to slap her around some more. I’m on track to become a champion. And I’ll go through anyone they put in my way. Maki did her best but her best just wasn’t good enough
She glances back at Annie who smiles and gives her a small nod.
{Carmen Diaz}
Speaking of champions, you have a chance to prove yourself against a champion this week when you take on Chaos champion Roxy Cotton. It might be cliche but this could truly be the biggest challenge of your career to date.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Isn’t every new person I face going to be a bigger challenge? It’s all a part of starting at the bottom. But you know who has the true luck in this match? Doxy. Because her title isn’t on the line. So after she falls to my hands, she will still be the champion. I just hope she realizes that I’ll be coming for it soon. Tonight is just a taste of things to come.
Carmen starts to speak again when Annie pulls her back. The two start talking quietly. Carmen seems to be getting a little annoyed as Annie finishes her piece and Elizabeth walks forward.
{Carmen Diaz}
If you two are done I’d like to finish this sometime today..
Elizabeth looks like she wants to apologize when Annie steps forward and grabs the microphone away from Carmen..
{Annie Fugate}
You got something you want to say to me?
{Carmen Diaz}
I just want to do my job. Can you give me back my microphone?.
{Annie Fugate}
No. You suck at your job. Beat it.
She looks like she wants to argue but with both Annie and Elizabeth watching her she finally just walks off. Annie hands the microphone to Elizabeth.
{Annie Fugate}
Finish this.
Elizabeth mouths “really” to Annie who backs up and stands behind her. Liz shakes her head and looks into the camera. .
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
So now it is time for me to face the Dixie Chicks reject. Roxy you might be a champion but to me you are just the next step up the ladder. The next rung on my quest to reach the top. Everyone doubted me against the wannabe ghoul Clementine and I made her submit. They doubted me against the possessed Maki and I pinned her in the middle of the ring. Everyone is going to doubt me against you. The champion against a newbie in only her third ever match. Developmental talent I believe I was called. But I know what you fear Doxy. You fear losing. You fear people seeing the great champion as a paper champion. You fear that this reign will end just as quickly as the last one did. And to that I only have one thing to say
Elizabeth walks forward so only her face can be seen in the camera.
{Elizabeth Blackwell}
Welcome to your Nightmare!
Elizabeth hands the microphone to the camera man and walks off screen, followed by Annie. The camera stays on the LAW logo before finally fading out.
