King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2008 we find a frazzled looking Alix Maria Spezia, elbow deep in a pile of books. Literally elbow deep. Strewn across the catering table are dozens of wedding magazines, catalogues, catering menus, with dozens of yellow sticky labels stuck in, on and around various pages. Sat with a pen jammed in her mouth deep in concentration is Alix, eyes moving between pages at a furious speed. As she becomes ever more frantic, the books and notes are suddenly swept off the table and replaced with a small tub of strawberry ice-cream. Without so much as a second thought Alix dives in and starts to eat the ice-cream, barely noticing Jade Rodez-Duncan sitting on the table beside her. ALIX Ooh, goody. JADE Ally, are you okay? ALIX Never better. Could have done with some sprinkles though... ooh, confetti, we need confetti! As Alix goes to pick the books back up off the floor Jade jumps in front of them to stop her. ALIX Sweetie, you're either gonna have to go on a crash crash diet real quick or step a little to the left. JADE Look, Alix, you really need to stop obsessing. ALIX I can't! This is my destiny, I want to live it while I'm not dead, you know! And narcotics are some powerful shit lemme tell ya. Krista's all I can think about. Morning, noon, night, that one second period where the clock goes from 11:59 to 0:00 and nobody's quite sure what day it is, but luckily it only lasts a second so it's not long enough for anyone to panic about. Seriously, I'm beginning to wig out here Jade. I can't sleep properly, I'm not eating right. So much so that I can't even put it down to harmless insomnia or anorexia! I even forgot the lyrics to Gettin Hot In Here last week! That shit's classic and I couldn't even remember the words, I just froze up, right in the middle of a hot costume dance number, in front of thousands of people. Something's not right for sure! Alix hides her despair with a mouthful of strawberry ice-cream. ALIX Why aren't you wearing your cheerleader outfit? JADE Because I'm not wrestling tonight? ALIX Oh. We need to get you a 'not-wrestling outfit' in that case. Jade looks down at herself a little concerned. JADE Why... what's wrong with what I'm weari... look, nevermind that, we're talking about you and Mom here. I haven't known Mom for that long really, but I do know you're not going to get her to do something before she's ready. She's a strong, indipendent... kinda stubborn woman. She is her own woman and she answers to nobody. Only person who's gonna get past that is Maya. Have you not thought to ask her for some advice? ALIX Of course! Man, why didn't I think of that? Go to the smart kid first! It all makes so much sense now! Scowling a little, Jade regrets even bothering to try and help. Just as she's about to leave though, something makes her cower back towards the table. Alix quickly stands up... not to help, but seeing an opportunity to finally collect up her wedding plans again... as into shot walks MEGAN SKYE. Megan walks right up to Jade, who backed up against the side of the table tries not to look too worried, despite the situation. MEGAN If it isn't the Cinderella story of the summer. Bad news, Jade. JADE Wha... what's that? MEGAN I just got out of Josie's office. And she agreed, since I pinned you last week, I'm the number one contender for your Women's Championship. So, you're going to be defending your title against me on Sunday night in Cleveland. One on one. Not looking too surprised about this, Jade does look nervous instead as Megan continues to stand just inches from her, staring right at her, with Alix paying little or no attention. MEGAN Welcome to the big leagues little girl. Megan reaches forward... and to her amusement, Jade flinches as she lightly pats her across the cheek a couple of times and walks off. ALIX Ooh, how catty. You think she'd make a good bridesmaid? JADE Alix! ALIX I know, I'm sorry, it's my problem, not yours. Looking flustered Jade tries to settle herself back down, as we go back to Sofa Central. COLE If Megan is trying to play the intimidation game with Jade, then... COACH Then what? Then she's gonna succeed in turning Jade into a quivering mess? Then she's gonna become new Women's Champ on Sunday? Let's be real one time, Jade ain't got no game. COLE Has anyone ever told you that your grammar is awful? COACH Anyone ever told you yo' Momma be ho'in herself out nationwide? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
