CYNTHIA: "I mean it Titus. I'm tired of these ugly, low-class PWA vermin not giving us the respect that we deserve. We are *Reckless Love*, the most talented, most beautiful, most fabulous tag-team this rat-infested organization has ever seen. We should be on t-shirts. We should be front and center on posters. Our gorgeous faces should be on the sides of tour busses. Where is *my* fame Titus? Where is the glory that *this* breathtaking face deserves?"
TITUS: "Oh don't be sad baby, we have... I think... three t-shirts in the PWA SuperStore."
CYNTHIA: "*Three* shirts Titus? Honey-Bunny, do some math for me. How many shirts does Pantaro have?"
TITUS: "Uh well..."
CYNTHIA: "*Five*. Seven if you count the two Blood Brothers shirts."
TITUS: "Well, I mean, he's been around for a while..."
CYNTHIA: "*Seven shirts* Titus! And he's so ugly he has to wear a *mask* just to keep from frightening school children. Speaking of masks... do you have any idea how many pieces of Tiger Gold merchandise there are on the PWA website? Mugs, wristbands, action figures. Where is my action figure Titus?"
***Titus looks around him as if a Cynthia Love action figure might be right behind him.***
CYNTHIA: "You know *why* these uggos are getting all the glory while a drop-dead gorgrous lady like me is being ignored?"
TITUS: "Why my love?"
CYNTHIA: "Because *you* aren't winning me matches Titus! Because champions get merchandising deals, and you can't seem to string us together a pair of wins in a row to move us up the brackets!"
***Titus clasps his chest with his hand, clearly hurt.***
TITUS: "I... I... I am *so* sorry my love! You are absolutely right! How could I have been so selfish as to not see the horror I have put you through! You deserve gold and glory and as your man, it is my God given duty to deliver you each and every thing your heart desires! I swear on my life that you will have the fame and adulation that only championship gold can bring! I am your knight and your serveant. Can you ever forgive me?"
***Cynthia mock-blushes and clasps her hands. She makes a pout with her lips and demures her eyes.***
CYNTHIA: "Oh honey-lips... do you really mean it? You'll get me every little thing that... that... Titus?"
***Titus stares off over Cynthia's shoulder with a far-away dreamy look in his eyes. Cynthia cocks an irritated eyebrow at her husband, then turns to see what has captured his gaze. Across the hall, she sees Nikki Wyld leaning against a wall, chuckling under her breath as she talks to a smiling Derrick Arzon. She puts a hand on his shoulder and he clasps hers with his own. They smile. Cynthia wrinkles her nose and shoots an angry look back at her clueless husband.***
TITUS: "Ah, young love. It's cute isn't it? Hey Cynthia, remember way back when you and I looked at each other like that?"
***Smiling, Titus looks down at his wife, only to meet an absolutely furious gaze. His eyes go wide, and he shoots a nervous look between Cynthia and the young couple.***
CYNTHIA: "'Way back when?' Are you implying that... that those two gross horny tweens over there have something... some *magic* that you and I lost a long time ago? Is that what you are saying to my *face* 'Titus Dear'?"
***Titus swallows hard.***
TITUS: "Uh... no. No, no no no no. Of course not my angel. Those two clueless horndogs over there? What do they know about love? What do they know about the soul-bond that two star-crossed lovers such as you and I share?"
***Cynthia stares at Titus with an icy glare. After a moment she pivots and marches over to where Derrick and Nikki are standing. She walks right up to the two young lovers and glares at them. A confused-looking Derrick Arzon turns to Cynthia Love and cocks his head.***
DERRICK: "Uh... hi. Can we help you?"
CYNTHIA: "Just what the hell do you two think you are doing, huh?"
***Derrick and Nikki exchange a look. Nikki chews a wad of gum absently and shrugs at Derrick.***
CYNTHIA: "Don't think that I can't see exactly what you two lovebirds are doing. Young, hot, sexy... you two are trying to horn in on Reckless Love's turf! Me and Titus are the only true power-couple in PWA. You know it, we know it, and most importantly, the PWA fans know it! you two may *think* you can waltz in with your fishnet stockings and rockstar hair and capture the hearts and minds of the PWA Armada, but I know a fraud when I see one!"
***Derrick stands flummoxed for a moment... then he turns and looks at Nikki. Nikki Wyld smiles and giggles under her breath. She pats Derrick on the shoulder and steps up nose-to-nose with Cynthia Love.***
DERRIKL “Well, maybe you kiss that fraud, he’ll turn into a prince!”
***Derrik smiles at his joke as Cynthia, unamused, stares daggers at him.***
NIKKI: "Ok prima-donna... normally I'm all about emotional crazy talk, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to stop you right there. You see... if me and Derrick thought for *one second* we were being compared to you ridiculous, oiled-up jackoffs, I'd dump his ass in a heartbeat."
***She turns to Derrick.***
NIKKI: "No offense hotstuff."
DERRICK: "None taken."
***Nikki smiles and turns back.***
NIKKI: "You two are the most clueless pair of losers this tag division has ever seen. And if what you and your boy-toy are peddling is true love, then I don't want any part of it."
***Cynthia turns and glares at Titus, who has just been standing staring at the show. Titus catches his wife's angry eye and snaps to attention. He marches right over to Arzon and Wyld. He shoves past Nikki and gets right in Derrick's face.***
TITUS: "You've got a hell of a lot of nerve making my angel mad! Who the hell do you think you are?!"
DERRICK: "*Me?* I didn't even... I..."
***He shoots a confused look over to Nikki. She giggles and shrugs. Then suddenly she swoons, putting a hand to her forehad and leaning against the wall for support.***
NIKKI: "Oh Derrick... my womanly honor... my pride... I'm wounded. My feminine sense of honer has been besmirched! Defend me! Defend you lady's besmerchment!"
***Derrick looks confused as he shoots glances between Nikki and Titus. He turns to Nikki and gives her a desperate look.***
DERRICK: "I don't know what is going on!"
NIKKI: "'smerch!"
DERRICK: "What the hell does that even mean?"
TITUS: "It means that I'll see you at Assault flyboy! I'm going to beat you into oblivion! I'm going to make an example out of what happens when a disrespectful young upstart tries to hurt the honor of the most glorious woman in the history of professionall wrestling!"
***Titus shoves Derrick against the wall. Then he grabs Cynthia by the shoulders and leads her away. She glances over her shoulder as she goes and flashes a wicked smile. Derrick just puts out his hands helplessly. After Reckless Love leaves, he turns to Nikki.***
DERRICK: "What the hell just happened?"
***Nikki swoons into Derrick's arms.***
NIKKI: "You defend my fragile feminine honor good sir. And for that, your helpless lady will be forever grateful."
***She blows him a mock kiss and skips away down the hall, leaving Derrick completely flummoxed.***Statistics: Posted by Ameronth — Tue Apr 14, 2020 8:45 pm
