Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
I get right back on my feet again
[The scene fades in and we find ourselves outside the front door Anicka’s Tiny Tower located in the Wolf Family Compound. Allison Preston-Riggs walked up the front walkway to the door; she was dressed in a plain pair of blue jeans and a pink tank top, gave a knock and walked in as she usually did when she knew that Ani didn’t have company. She heard the clicking of the claws on the floor on the tiled floor before she saw the large white blur hit her in the legs. She had just enough time to grab the counter top to keep herself from falling.]
You and your new owner need obedience school. [Allison pushed the white pitbull down as it jumped up on her wanting attention. She continues until the living room area where Ani was standing on a ladder in front of the fireplace.] I can’t believe you’re keeping him. Shit, I can’t believe that VooDoo is letting you keep him.
He was such a good boy when VooDoo came over to meet him. He went over and laid down at her feet and rolled over for her to pet his tummy. [Ani looked at her and smiled.] Mega just knew that she’s the Alpha of the Pack.
Better not let Kal here you say that. [Allison stood there looking at Ani and shook her head. Anicka was hanging the N.E.W. TransAtlantic title over the fireplace. Ani was the TA champ and her husband, Dane Preston, was the Battleborn Champ. That was until N.E.W. closed and with it closing, both kept their titles. As far as Allison knew the Cowboy kept the world title too.] I can’t believe the two of you.
What can Ani say? [Anicka smiled a wicked little smile.] Does this look even to you?
Left needs to be a little higher. [For the next the next five minutes Allison kept telling Anicka higher and lower; until Anicka started getting frustrated. This caused Allison to chuckle.] It was fine the first time.
[Anicka looked over her shoulder at Allison.] You are such a bitch.
Takes one to know one, Bitch. [Allison flopped down on the couch and no sooner than she sat down, Mega was up on the couch next to her.]
[Anicka finished hanging the title; she didn’t bother asking Allison anymore if she thought it was straight or not. Once she was done, she got off the ladder and looked up to check out her work and satisfied that it was level, she turned around and looked at Allison who had taken a seat in the chair.]
[Ryder, the small black kitten that the Cowboy and Marie gave Ani came running full speed into the living room and jumped on the pit bull next to Allison and was attacking him. They watched as the massive white pitbull “played” with the small black kitten. Both giggled at the braveness of the kitten; she was clearly taking no prisoners, despite her being the size of a Scooby-Snack for the pitbull.]
He’s not a bad dog. [Allison finally admitted. The dog had done nothing but play with all the kids of the Pack and even gently nosed and licked her own twins.] But Mega? What possessed you to pick that for his name?
Ani’s not sure you want to know that one. [Anicka smirked a little bit.]
Try me.
Mega is another name for… [Before Anicka could finish her sentence, Allison figured it out and finished it for her.]
...Leviathan. [Allison shook her head. Anicka was truly a hot mess.] I can't believe you sometimes.
Ani can't believe herself sometimes. [She laughed and shrugged her shoulders.] Ani put an ad in the paper to see if someone comes forward as his owner.
It’s gonna break your heart if his owner comes forward. [Anicka got a sad look on her face and nodded.] We’ll keep our fingers crossed that no one claims him.
You know, Ani still can't believe you picked Odin and Ryan over her. [Anicka paused for a moment and looked at Allison.] It’s got a few people wondering what the Hell.
You really want to know? [Anicka nodded her head.] Well, with Ryan it was simple and easy. A lot of people don’t know it, but despite appearances, he and I are friendly with one another. [This causes Anicka to smirk and raise an eyebrow.] Oh, not like that, you hoe. [She shook her head.] Where some people like to ignore me and that I’m here because I’m not part of the “in crowd”; Ryan on the other hand, chose not to ignore me. Plus, he’s a friend of your Cowboys; so I knew that his loyalty would be on my side.
[Anicka nodded with that, she could believe that. Although she kind of question his taste in tag team partners in Johnny Stylez. She didn’t think Ryan would team with someone who was… so… on again, off again with his… upholding his contractual obligations.] And Odin?
Oh, that one was for shits and giggles. [Allison smiled.] I’m not really friends with anyone else in the aW but you and Ryan, so I sat and pondered for a moment of just who to pick. I thought back on when we first came to aW and the shit he pulled and thought, wouldn’t it be funny to “force” him to be part of my team? Even he was impressed with my ballsiness to pick him. I told him if he wanted to, he could tell the rest of aW that I made him do it. [The two women chuckled.] Sure there were people that questioned whether or not he was going to pull his weight because of the shit that went down, but he did; because like he said, he’s a professional and does his job; kind of makes me glad that I picked who I did, lord knows who would have not did their job. We took out Hollywood Elite, though. [She shook her head.] Didn’t beat Chaos theory, maybe next time. [She paused and smirked again.] Maybe we should have picked out a cool name or something to be billed as would have worked better for us? Maybe I should have called us… F.Y.A: Fuck You All. Lord knows it’s that attitude we all had.
[Anicka laughed and got up and went to the kitchen and came back with a couple shot glasses and a bottle of Vodquilla. She poured them a couple shots. Allison took hers and they both tossed them back.]
Speaking of doing your job, Hot Shot Wayne Austin? [Anicka suppressed a chuckle in her throat.] You went from world title shots and Trios Trophy shots to…
...fighting men that look like VooDoo’s ex husband. [Allison rolled her eyes as she thought of Tony Cancelliere. She never had a chance to meet him, but after seeing old clips of him, and them together, she was glad she didn’t meet him.] Piece of shit wrestler who liked to beat on women that they claim to love, that was until Vincent came along and beat the shit out of him.
Just like Ani knows you’re gonna handle shit Monday with Hot Shit Austin. [She grabbed the bottle and pour a couple more drinks.]
Shot, Ani, Hot Shot.. [She nodded to the bottle.] Just like the shots you are pouring.
What do you know about him?
About the same thing that you do. [Allison took her shot and tossed it back.] Jack and Shit.
As Ani sees it, he’s going to do one of two things. He’s going to come out here and whore, slut, cunt you to death; thinking the more times he calls you that increases his chances of winning and tell aW and it’s fans that he’s going to beat your ass like your daddy never did. [She takes her shot and tosses it back; wiping the little bit that dribbled down her chin with the back of her hand.] Or he’s going to come out here and recognize you for the wrestler you are. Any wrestler worth their weight in the ring will always scope out the competition when they sign on someplace new.
If this is someone.. [Allison raised her fingers in the air and made quotation marks and gave Ani a sideways glance.] ..new. You know how people come and go and new names and new faces; same shit. [She shakes her head.] I don’t understand it.
Bitch, don’t laugh. [Anicka chuckles a little bit.] Ani was going to do that. Ani was bored. And you know what happens when Ani gets bored. Ani had even picked the perfect mark to…
...Toy with? Tease? Torment? Torture? [Allison finished for her.]
All those T words sound fun to Ani. [Allison eyed Anicka for a moment and they had one of those convos that people can have with each other and not say a word. “Do I want to know who?” … “Ani thinks you probably don’t want to know.” … “Allison thinks you’re right.” … Anicka looks over at Mega and then back at Allison. Allison knew who it was and immediately shook her head.]
Remind me again why I hang with you?
Because Ani is awesome. Because Ani is fun. [Then she smiled a wicked little smile.] And because Ani gives you good head. [Allison gave thought to that for a moment, Ani was correct on all three counts, Allison started to open her mouth to say something but that was cut short.] Also, Ani usually gets her promos out before her opponents do.
Austin got one out? [Allison ignored Anicka's jab at her.] Nice.
Ani figured you didn’t know. Ani hasn’t had a chance to see it either. [Anicka picked up the bottle and poured them a couple more shots. She slid her cell phone over to Allison.] Want to see what he had to say?
Nope, not right now. [She shook her head and took the shot glass and tossed it back.] Does it really matter? Have I ever paid attention to what anyone has to say here in the aW? Let’s be real, if I gave a shit about what anyone had to say, I would have left with Dane and at any time during the however many months in between it’s been since then. If I gave a shit about their words… I would have already taken my toys and went home.
True, how about letting Mega out for Ani while she gets his dinner ready? [Anicka didn’t wait for her to answer as she got up and went into the kitchen.]
[Allison got up from the couch and walked over to the sliding door and before she could get the door open Mega was there with his tail wagging. She thought back on Hans and King, the German Shepherds she grew up with as pets; one day when the twins were old enough, she would get them dogs. She slid the door open and Mega ran outside. She followed out behind him, sliding the door closed behind her. She watched him for a moment as he made his way to various trees in the backyard and did his business before she went and took a seat on the brown wicker loveseat by the fire pit.]
Ani says you have a promo out, Austin, good for you. [Allison smiles sweetly.] Let me be the first to say… Welcome to the aW. Hope you enjoy the stay. What can you expect? A fight… from every mother fucker up in here. Your skills are going to be question, your going to be called everything in the book, be told that you should quit and go back to wherever you come from, that you don’t belong, etc etc. You know all that good shit that everyone likes to say to try and throw you off your game just long enough to catch that pin.
[She used her thumb to point back in Anicka’s general direction.]
Ani’s got me curious now about which route you took. [She smiles a little bit.] Did you go the whore and slut route? It’s one of the classic ways of fighting a female opponent. Hit the airwaves and call her a whore and slut and think that will work. Think that the aW fans will take notice of you, make that big impact. [She shook her head.] I reeeally hope you didn’t go that way. Seriously, that’s what a lot of wrestlers do, even the female ones. And over the years, it has become a weak ploy… and wrestling fans are aware of this. They roll their eyes at this because women in wrestling have been kicking the men in wrestling’s asses for a while now. Besides, I’m not really a whore or a slut. [She paused and thought for a moment.] Although the thing with me and Ani and my husband may be considered in that area. Maybe that does make me a whore? I don’t know?
[Mega comes bounding over to her with a bright yellow tennis ball and drops it in her lap, she picks it up and gives it a throw and chuckles at the brief moment of excitement the ball has caused before he lay down and began to chew on it with earnest.]
Or did you take the respectable route? You did your homework and saw what I can do. Found out that I don’t fight like a girl. Gave me props for what you have seen and realized that your first match in, isn’t going to be an easy one. Because one on one in the ring.. I am a bitch to beat. And it’s not because I am bigger and badder than my opponent, because I am not, but it’s because of the conditioning of how I was trained. A lot of wrestlers when they get in the ring think, let me hurt this person, pin them, get them win and get it over with. I think a little differently. Oh sure, I believe in the whole hurt ‘em, pin and win thing, but the get it over with thing… [She smiled again and shook her head a little bit, this time the smile wasn’t as friendly as the others.] Not so much. Training with Ani lately, I have learned to appreciate dragging out the pain inflicted on a person, making it last as long as possible and hurt as much as possible and that’s just so when the matches are posted for as long as you decide to hang in the aW… you remember our match, and hope you don’t see my name in anything associated with you. Because win or lose… You will remember my name.
[Pausing again she smiles, it was her usual warm and friendly one.]
You know… [She chuckles.] Not so long ago I was just like you. New to the fed and had been out of the ring for a few years. Didn’t know a soul except for my husband and a few others who have long since gone. Gone because they weren’t ‘bigger’ or ‘badder’ than the other wrestlers in the aW, because they couldn’t take what the other wrestlers in the aW were dishing out. Will you be able to handle what the aW can dish out? Will you be here months from now or break you contract and leave this place with a bad taste in your mouth wishing you had never heard of the place? Only time will tell. What I do know, is that Monday night, I’m going to extend to you the warm welcome the Savage Gods gave Ani and I. [She gives a wink.] See you at Clash, Hot Shot, where I’m going to welcome you to the aW, with open arms, only it won’t be to hug you.
[The scene fades to black as Anicka slid open the back door and came out carrying a dog food dish in one hand and the bottle and shot glasses in the other. Allison shook her head, this woman was going to be the death of her… or at least her liver.]
Hit me with your best shot
...Why don't you hit me with your best shot...
...Why don't you hit me with your best shot...
[The scene fades back in a few hours later as Allison is making her way up the stairs at the Riggs Mansion in the Wolf Compound. She makes her way to her twins bedroom, where One is looking in on the twins. He puts his finger to his white mask letting her know to be quiet. She walked over and looked in on them herself. Both the kids were sound asleep.]
They are sleeping longer through the night. Luke was a little gassy earlier, but he farted and is okay now. [He chuckled behind the mask. One and Two were scary looking men, but they took their jobs as being the Prestons’ nannies seriously. He looked over at her.] How are you feeling?
One word for ya… Vodquilla.
Sure it’s not three words? [He pointed to her shoulder, Allison looked down to find the seam on the outside; her shirt was inside out. Her cheeks flushed pink. You couldn’t see the smirk behind the mask, but you know it’s here.] Vodquilla AND Ani?
Shush you. [She stuck her tongue out at him as she has since she was a teenager and turned to make her way out the door.] Wake me if you need me.
Night Allison. [One chuckled softly as he turned off the small lamp next to the rocking chairs and made his way out the door to the room he shared with Two, as the scene slowly fades to black.]
Hit me with your best shot
...Fire away...
...Fire away...
