I.
So that was it huh? The end of almost 13 years of friendship all because I wanted to help someone assimilate into the best company in the world? Ok, Estrella, I see you. Poor Razzles was caught up in something that literally had nothing to do with her and it was all my fault. It was time I just started taking my time by myself and not getting anymore innocent lives hurt. I just hoped she was ok.

The scene opened on Kennedy Matthews sitting on a chair in the trainer’s room shortly after Razzles was attacked. She shook her head as she looked at the ground. ”Razzles, I am so sorry this happened to you. There was no need for Estrella doing what she did. I don’t know what has gotten into her but that monster I locked eyes with was NOT my friend… not anymore.”
Razzles Mars, still nursing her head, looked up and at Kennedy. She placed a finger under Kennedy’s chin and lifted her head up. ”Hey Kennedy, it is ok. If it wasn’t Estrella with the lead pipe it could have Hajeet with a steel chair in the hallway or Geri Miller with a bat in catering.”
Razzles was spouting off random weapons and people like this was a game of Clue within Action Wrestling. Kennedy reached in her purse and pulled out a pack of gummy bears. ”This is the least I can do, mate. You deserve the best but all I have are cheap gummy bears right now.”
Razzles nervously fumbled with the package as she finally was able to get it open. She popped a red bear in her mouth. She smiled from ear to ear. ”Thanks Kennedy. Look, my friend is going to come pick me up and take me home for a bit. I will be back. Don’t worry. We have some unfinished business. The British Bombshells are just beginning. Now go and get ready for your match. I will be cheering you on.”
Kennedy looked around and then back to Razzles, still concerned. ”Razzles, you really don’t have to act like everything is ok. I understand if you hate me. Everyone does eventually. I mean look at Estrella. She was my friend for over a decade and she left me. I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to be around me anymore or didn’t trust me anymore. I promise I am not like her…”
Razzles looked at the trainer and motioned to get up. The trainer nodded. Razzles hopped off the table and hugged her friend and mentor. She rubbed Kennedy’s back as Kennedy sobbed a bit. Kennedy looked up at Razzles, tears in her eyes, as Razzles spoke. ”Kennedy, I mean it. I am not going anywhere. Just trust in me the way I trust in you. You are my friend and my tag team partner. I want to be like you. I know you are not Estrella. You have a heart. We will work this out together and take her and anyone she may get to believe her out. Justice will be served. We are the dynamic duo! We are the British Bombshells and we mean business.”
Kennedy nodded as she wiped the tears from her eyes and Razzles hugged her as the scene faded to black.

II.
Sometimes we spend so much time checking on others that we neglect our own health, both mentally and physically. I had to take step one. I had to admit I had a problem. Everyone around me saw it but I hadn’t given it much thought. I was worried about Estrella’s injury and the vengeance on Karlie and then Lissie’s title hunt. Now it was time for me to care about myself. I had to go see a doctor about how I was feeling.

We open to see Kennedy Matthews laying on a therapist couch. The placard on the desk reads “Dr Jenette Laurent” We were then greeted by the soft face of Dr Laurent. She is dressed very professionally. Her stockinged legs crossed elegantly. She looks at the notes in front of her. ”Ok, Patient is Kennedy Matthews. Twenty six years old. Professional wrestler. Recently gone through a miscarriage and loss of a close friend over said miscarriage. I am going to attempt to get to the bottom of why Kennedy is feeling the way she is.”
Kennedy hears Dr. Laurent doing her vocal intro for the tapes. ”Why the recording doc?”
Dr. Laurent smiled at Kennedy. ”It is simply so we can revisit them at a later date. Your files will not be shared with anyone else. These are for MY use and YOUR use. So tell me about the miscarriage.”
It was a tough subject. Kennedy had tried not to dwell on it. ”Honestly doc, it just all happened so fast. My pregnancy test came back negative. I had to continue my contractual obligations. My next match is when it happened. Estrella got injured and I lost my baby. Now I have lost everything. Estrella, my baby, Lissie, Geri.. they’re all gone.”
Dr. Laurent made some notes as she continued. ”And you feel like you are to blame for all of this? Like it is all because of your own actions?”
Kennedy nodded as tears welled up in her eyes. ”I mean, how can I not? How can I not blame myself when my own actions led to it all? Doc, I came here because I have finally come to the realization that it is all my fault.”
The tears flowed from Kennedy’s eyes as Dr. Laurent made more notes. ”That is enough for today. You are very visibly suffering from clinical depression as well as survivors guilt. You blame yourself for your baby’s death. You blame yourself for the loss of friends. I will write you a prescription and recommend you take it easy for a bit. You are overstressing yourself with things that don’t matter.”
The words “Things that don’t matter” echoed in Kennedy’s head as the scene faded to black.

III.
Familiarity is something that could either hinder or hurt us. Being familiar with something could ultimately lead to our own downfall. I was familiar with my opponent for Turmoil. Alex Richards was a hell of a wrestler but ultimately his own delusions would be his downfall.

The scene opened to Kennedy Matthews sitting at a bar. She smiled from ear to ear as she was attempting to drown her depression. The bartender, a grizzled older man, walked over and looked at Kennedy. ”Evening ma’am. Anything I can get ya?”
Kennedy looked at the man. ”Zimquila please.”
The barkeep looked a little confused. ”Pardon me? Could you repeat that?”
Kennedy assumed it was her accent. She yelled a little louder. ”Zimquila please sir.”
The barkeep chuckled a bit. ”Ma’am maybe you have had a few too many already tonight. There is no such thing as Zimquila. We have Zima and tequila but nothing called Zimquila.”
Kennedy muttered under her breath. ”So he is delusional then.”
The man looked at Kennedy. ”The fuck did you just say about me?”
Kennedy shook her head. ”Not you. Alex Richards. He is full of shit and I love it.”
Kennedy ran out of the bar and went back to her hotel room. She smiled from ear to ear as she began speaking into the camera. ”You thought we wouldn’t figure it out didn’t ya Alex? You thought we wouldn’t be able to figure out that you are delusional. I figured it out and it isn’t just the Zimquila. It is the whole fucking premise of everything you stand for.
Bonnie Blue, the Guardians… they were all shams. Actors and actresses hired by you to make this little sci-fi fan fiction of yours a reality. You have been a fraud this whole bloody time. I have figured you out Richards. You can’t deny the truth now. You can run but once we are between those ropes you can’t hide.
I am not the same woman I was in WCF and I was mildly successful there. I am better now. I am more focused and it shows. Ask Karlie Nash. Ask Hajeet. Ask your little boyfriend Dandy. Well, maybe not him because he will be too busy sucking your cock to get a word out but that is neither here nor there. As a bi sexual woman, I say do you boo.
Turmoil is coming up and there is nothing you can do to convince me I won’t win. I have to win. I have to take that first step into the full on transformation of Kennedy Matthews. It will all begin with you. When I come to the ring at Turmoil I will not be the same old whiny and bitchy Kennedy Matthews. I will not be there to help Lissie, she has proven she can handle herself. I will not be there to help Estrella because fuck her. You get to face me and all of me. You step into the ring with the former WCF Television Champion. With the former WCF Hardcore Champion. With the former Action Wrestling Television Champion. You get to step into the ring with someone who is your equal.
Richards you and I have never seen eye to eye but even you have to admit that I have caught your attention. It just gets under your skin to see my rise coming so naturally doesn’t it Alex. Your time in the spotlight is fading and my star is shining brighter than ever. I was a little upset that I was overlooked for some newcomers for the United States Title match but this match will work out for the better as I look into your eyes and proclaim that the mother has come home. I will continue to stake my claim in Action Wrestling while you, like the other Guardians before you cease to exist. Look around you, Richards. The Guardians are gone, wiped off the map. You needed someone else to help keep you relevant so you latched on to Dandy like a calf to it’s mum’s udders. Enjoy milking that cow dry, Alex. I will continue to rise while your countdown to spoilage continues. When have you won anything relevant recently? You lost in the chamber. You lost in the wrestler of the year tournament. Admit it Richards. You are one pinfall loss away from obscurity and it scares you to fucking death.
You were once someone I looked up to. I used to think you were the real deal. Now I see that you are just like the rest of the old timers. Way out of your league. With the recent boom in signings we are all fighting for our jobs, for our bloody livelihoods. I see that and I know you do too. The difference is I welcome the change and you wish it would stop because each time a pen is put to paper you fall further and further down the abyss that is the Action Wrestling ladder. Go join Mikey X in the unemployment line or go and die. I mean you are close to that anyway. I have tried to play nice and it has gotten me nowhere. Don't go away mad, just go away. Long live the mother of all creation. Down with all the doubters.”
With that Kennedy laughed and the scene ended.
