“I'm writing the future,
I'm writing it out, loud.
We don't talk about the past,
We don't talk about the past now.”
Manhattan, New York 2008
We hover in on 1997 Saturn and it is inside that car where we are able to see a 22 year old Todd Warren, and a 17 year old Kate Steele. Kate has long raven jet black hair, along with a black dress with white spots. She wears long jet black stockings that come up past her dress along with a pair of all black vans. Kate is definitely dressed like a common emo girl as her make up is all over her face. The newly high school graduate just sits in the passenger’s seat as she stares out at the window. Staring at the high class home that was in front of her. She sighed as the man in the driver’s seat looked back at her.
Todd: So is this your home? You might as well get going. I am sure your parents are going to be worried about you.
Kate looks at the house before she can feel her cell phone start to vibrate within her purse. She reaches into it and glances at the message from her sister. “Please come home - Samara” Kate couldn’t help but scoff as she shook her head making sure to put her cell phone away.
Kate: What’s the point? The moment that I go through that door it’s going to be as if nothing changed. Everything I tried to escape from. Everything I wished to leave behind is going to be waiting within the confines of that door. On top of that my parents aren’t home, and do you think they really give a shit about what’s going on with me?! For them it’s just another chance to put me in a psychiatric hospital. Another chance for them to take Samara’s side, and another opportunity for her to unleash her frustrations upon me. Do you know what it feels like to have your older sister abuse you every single day of your life? Do you know what’s it like to have a father try to buy your happiness and for a mother to constantly take your sister’s word over your very own?!
Todd just shakes his head as he offers a long sigh in return.
Todd: And you still think that’s reason enough to try to commit suicide on those train tracks tonight?!
Kate: At least then I would have at least been noticed. Instead of the treatment I get.
Todd giggles as he looks at the large home before turning his attention back over to the teenage girl. He can’t help but grin as he shakes his head.
Todd: You really are something else you know that… You must be a spoiled brat, a rich one at that. Just judging by your home and what not. Here I thought I was doing something special. Showing you around the city. Some musical joints with people just like you. Trying to get your mind off of things and yet you go right back into doing what you wanna do. It’s honestly kind of cute.
Kate: You don’t know me.
Todd: Whatever you say Kath-Lyn…
Kate throws a minor tantrum as she glares daggers into Todd’s eyes.
Kate: I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT…
Todd: I know, I know… That’s your name but you prefer Kate… I get it, it’s called a joke lighten up. That’s part of your problem. You take life way too serious sometimes…
Todd just shakes his head as Kate crosses her arms as she looks back at the man. She offers a long sigh in return as she replies back to him.
Kate: Yet you were on those same tracks too… Want to explain what you were doing out there?
Todd nods his head in agreement as he begins to answer her.
Todd: Honestly I was doing the same thing that you were doing, but I had my reasons.
Kate: That being?
Todd reaches into his pocket and pulls out an engagement ring as he holds it up shaking his head back at her.
Kate: An engagement ring?!
Todd: My fiance called off our engagement tonight because I didn’t pay her enough attention. So I guess that makes me everything that you hate. You wanted to end it all because no one paid you any attention, and I wanted to pull the plug because I felt like I lost everything… But as I sat on those tracks I knew I couldn’t go through with it because I knew my mom needed me, and more importantly than that I have a little sister who thinks the world of me. I am adopted but my family treats me like one of their own. My father divorced from my mother, and he took my older brother Jimmy with him to Charlotte. I can’t leave my mom hanging. She and Dawn need a male figure around them, and I came to the realization that it would be selfish if I were to put them through any unnecessary drama. Things might seem at their lowest but there’s got to be a brighter day out there somewhere right?!
Kate: I guess… At least you get to go back to a sister and a mother that loves you. I have to go back to a life of utter hell. A life of no friends. Do you know what’s it like to have your sister take your only boyfriend away from you and sleep with him?! It’s like she doesn’t want to see me successful…
Todd: ...Or she’s jealous.
Kate: OF ME?! That’s a good one…Here take your ring back I might as well get going…
Todd looks at the ring as he shakes his head back at her.
Todd: Keep it… Just think of it as a promise ring.
Kate: I am not promising myself to you… I don’t even know you.
Todd: I didn’t mean it like that… I meant that if you ever have crazy thoughts just look at it and know that you have at least one friend in this world, and that things aren’t as bad as they seem.
Kate: What do I owe you for all of this?
Kate opens up her purse as she reaches into her wallet pulling out “a lot” of money. What else did you expect from the “1 %” but Todd just shakes his head as he smiles in return.
Todd: I don’t want your money… I rather you just be safe. You are such a young girl have a bright future ahead of you. Might as well keep that. Come on let me walk you to the door. Make sure that you are ok, and that your sister would at least keep her cool.
Todd exits the car as he steps over to her side of the car. He opens the door as he walks her to the door. Kate finally started to feel accepted. She didn’t know what it was about the man but around him she felt warm, she felt loved, and more importantly accepted. He walked her to the door…
"So, I'm writing the future,
I'm leaving a key here.
Something won't always be missing,
You won't always feel emptier."
And here we are Nyako. You know it won’t be long until the sounding of the bell and it will be time for you and I to step in the ring with one another. Everyone knows that the LAW World title is the title to have in this company. It’s the title that everyone aims for. It’s the belt that symbolizes that you are the epitome of greatness but as true as that may be. That title has fallen under the spell that since I lost it there hasn’t been a credible champion to run with the belt. The Doc won it from me, and I will admit she flat out beat me. We fought tooth and nail for that belt, and the moment she wins it
GONE...
Evie Taylor rose up through the ranks to win that title. Beating the Doc for it and the moment she gains the title… Well I think you know what I am about to say next but let’s face it Evie Taylor won the title and it wasn’t long before she was..
GONE…
And then you have the LAW World title tournament and I had the misfortune of being eliminated in the first round but the ultimate winner in your sister Oni Kymiku. She wins the championship and it’s like she’s a houdini.
GONE…
No she’s still around but the amount of bullshit we have to put up with her not competing. Not being around. Being “injured” and all of that jazz it’s quite irritating. It’s very annoying but that’s the story of the World Championship. People are quick to shit on my reign as champion yet I am the only woman to have managed a successful defense with the title. But when you look at the Marquee Championship it has always been the workhorse championship. It has always been the title that people hold and are workhorses with it. One cannot forget the constant battles between Violet and Skye Sparks and Violet. Or the battles between Gabby and yourself. Or Crystal’s pursuit in trying to capture that championship.
But it has been a belt that people have wanted because it’s a work horses title, and for that I give you credit because you went out there and defeated Gabby not once but on two separate occasions, and on that alone that’s impressive, and you even turned away Fujiko and beat her. But I don’t understand the bullshit you are spewing say that you beat two women I needed help to beat. Gabby, ok I might have needed some help in between her but when I beat Fujiko in our first encounter I did that all by myself. Oh and guess what when my good friend Violet was dominant with the Marquee Championship guess who was the woman that beat her cleanly in the ring..
I was… So don’t spew pretentious unnecessary untrue bullshit. Shit that doesn’t even make sense. In this world I am the one that’s supposed to be the one to bring up the petty shit because I thrive on being an evil Bitch. I thrive on being someone that the fans don’t necessarily care for. You on the other hand are supposed to be someone of the people. Someone trying to turn over a new leaf. Yet I think it’s absolutely funny that you mentioned that when it comes time to putting up or shutting up… I would rather punk out. That’s hilarious.
ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS… Considering you are the Bitch that couldn’t even show up for your match. Whose match had to get cancelled. And despite what you might think of me. I am the bitch that has been here since day one. Who is always on the show. Who can be depended on to show up night in and night out. Despite if things don’t seem in my favour or if I complain. I am the woman that will always compete because that’s what I fucking do. You want to complain that you were just ready to give it up because people jump you… and you were sick of it?!
HILARIOUS… ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS… Considering I was the bitch that went right to your locker room and stood toe to toe with your sister. It wasn’t about doing something from behind. It was confronting her and letting her know how I felt, and the only person that hit someone from behind was YOU… You were the one that grabbed me… You were the one that CHOKED me out… It wasn’t the other way around. So before you even open your mouth trying to think of ways you can validate yourself. Trying to see if this is worth it. Why don’t you look in the mirror and practice what you preach. Why don’t you look at the dirt in your own eyes before trying to look at someone else’s.
I been around and if you were paying attention you would notice that I have been just wrestling the matches that came my way. I been dealing with the deck that has been dealt to me. Nothing less and nothing more. I earned my shot at you, and while you are left trying to figure out a way for you to be validated as a champion. Which seems to be a common theme among a lot of people this show. I don’t need any validation because I know I am good. I know I am one of the best people on the roster. A woman who can stick around since day one doesn’t need any validation. Everyone has seen me rise to the top of the mountain.
But since Queen of the Ring I been on the outskirts trying to look in. Trying to wonder when I would have my chance to be golden again. When I would have the chance to fight, claw, and scratch my way to the very top, and guess what. We are at that very moment. While my name will be the one that goes up in the Grand Marquee. As my name replaces yours on the Marquee Championship you will at least have something to live onto. History…
Because you did make history. Longest reigning Marquee Champion in the history of the fed. That’s an accomplishment in itself. But after you lose… It will simply be just that history. Something people won’t pay any attention too unless they look in a record book, but by then it won’t matter because I will have already replaced your name as the longest reigning Marquee Champion in the history of the fed. I will already have been champion and erased your name.
It’s ok Nyako… Perhaps that might not happen. Perhaps you might come through big. I mean it’s Pay Per View time so out of the blue you want to wrestle like you got the try hard pants on. You want to prove yourself, you want to show that your reign as champion is legit.
Enough with the weak shit. I am not a week to week wrestler. Just letting the calendar go by preparing myself for what’s to come when it means something. Every match means something. Every match is an opportunity to show why I belong in the hunt.
When it comes to this match it comes down to who is going to want it more, and as it stands I am hungry for this win. I have been hungry since I laid my eyes upon the Marquee Championship. You haven’t had that hunger since you won the title, and that makes me more dangerous than you. I am a woman with all to gain and nothing to lose…
But for you, you will lose your pride… and when I am done… Your title…
At Validation I will get what belongs to me and you will be nothing more than an after thought… See you there Nyako, and good luck… You damn sure will need it.
"Just think of the future,
And think of your dreams.
You'll get away from here,
You'll get away eventually."
Present Day
Kate stood at the elevator as she crossed her arms. Todd stood right beside her as he offered a long sigh in return.
Todd: So that’s it you are just going to end things with Vi just because of the thought of power? Kate you are better than this.
Kate shakes her head before she looks back at Todd shaking her head in utter disgust as she glances at the elevator making sure to press the button on the elevator.
Kate: Why is it taking so long for this fucking elevator to reach the God Damn floor… And why should I care about what Vi has to say. She’s just trying to ease herself in on MY PINK LADIES… You know that group that I created. The group that I created with my own bare hands when she was nowhere to be found. Now that things are going well with the group she thinks she can just slide on in like she helped me create this and she didn’t.
Todd just shakes his head sighing in return.
Todd: She was sick Kate… You know had she not gotten sick. The two of you would have still been going strong as the Red Hots and nobody would have been able to take you down.
Kate: Well that’s not the case. She had to leave and I had to stick around. It was a case of someone else just bailing out on me and I was forced to fend for myself. Now I have a good thing going… No a GREAT thing. I have Jenn, I have Kenzi, and I have Sidney, and I don’t give a damn who Violet is she is not going to take that away from me.
Todd shakes his head again as he looks back at Kate.
Todd: So I guess that’s it. You turned into the very thing that you tried your damn hardest to get away from. You turned into your sister.
Kate: Don’t you fucking say that… I am not her.
Todd: Could have fooled me. Considering you are willing to abuse your friend verbally in the same way that Samara abused you all of those years. I remember when we first met. The day you wanted to commit suicide. You told me that you had no friends. Well here we are seven years later and you have friends that care about you. That genuinely have a heart in order to be your friend. And you just want to be that selfish brat that would rather cast them aside instead of respecting their side of their coin. I know you love having power and who wouldn’t. But is it really worth it at the cost of losing a friend. Is it really worth it if you have nothing to show for it and no one to share it with?
Kate: I have friends.
Todd: But let’s be honest here. You get mad at Vi. You two get into a bitter fight that’s just going to lead to Jenn being forced to pick a side. And if Jenn is left in the air of not knowing what to do. How long will it be before Mackenzie sees you as weak? As Sidney sees you as weak, and Skye wanting to go where the true power is? It may just seem like your power to keep but Kate when friends fight no one really wins. It’s a lose, lose situation no matter how hard you try. No one wins. Wouldn’t be better if cooler heads prevailed in this? For a woman who wanted to have true friends you sure have a way of trying to get rid of the only ones you have.
Kate: Just shut up… Shut up ok!
Kate runs over to Todd embracing him into a long passionate hug. She hugs her tightly as Todd looks down into her eyes.
Todd: Kate you aren’t your sister. You don’t hold grudges. That’s just not who you are. You know what you need to do. Go in there, and do it Kate.
Kate backed away from Todd as she found herself walking back into that hospital room. Vi looked at the door as she growled angrily at Kate.
Violet: What do you want bitchface?!
Kate offered a long sigh as her eyes met with that of her friends.
Kate: Look Vi… I just wanted to say I am sorry… I didn’t mean to fight over something so stupid do you forgive me?!
Kate said with a look of sincerity on her lips…
So, just think of the future,
Think of a new life.
And don't get lost in the memories,
Keep your eyes on a new prize.

And if Jenn is left in the air of not knowing what to do. How long will it be before Mackenzie sees you as weak? As Sidney sees you as weak, and Skye wanting to go where the true power is? It may just seem like your power to keep but Kate when friends fight no one really wins. It’s a lose, lose situation no matter how hard you try. No one wins. Wouldn’t be better if cooler heads prevailed in this? For a woman who wanted to have true friends you sure have a way of trying to get rid of the only ones you have.
Kate: Just shut up… Shut up ok!
Kate runs over to Todd embracing him into a long passionate hug. She hugs her tightly as Todd looks down into her eyes.
Todd: Kate you aren’t your sister. You don’t hold grudges. That’s just not who you are. You know what you need to do. Go in there, and do it Kate.
Kate backed away from Todd as she found herself walking back into that hospital room. Vi looked at the door as she growled angrily at Kate.
Violet: What do you want bitchface?!
Kate offered a long sigh as her eyes met with that of her friends.
Kate: Look Vi… I just wanted to say I am sorry… I didn’t mean to fight over something so stupid do you forgive me?!
Kate said with a look of sincerity on her lips…
So, just think of the future,
Think of a new life.
And don't get lost in the memories,
Keep your eyes on a new prize.
