The scene opened in the backstage and as it does we see a black limo pulls into the parking lot of the Norfolk Scope, where this week’s edition of Friday Night Fight Night is set to air live in just a matter of a few hours in front of a sold out crowd. The limo pulls through the parking lot coming to a stop in front of the rear entrance doors. As the engine goes quiet the left front door opens and a middle aged man dressed in a plain black suit with a white dress shirt steps out. He walks around to the back pulling the door open. A pair of women’s legs emerge from inside touching the pavement below. Moments later the occupant slides the rest of the way out rising to a standing position. The camera slowly pans up their legs revealing the person to be Serenity Chambers Reso. Serenity stretched her legs and straightened her baby blue T-shirt as she waited for the limo driver to return with her gym bag. A few moments pass and the driver returns carrying her black gym bag. Serenity takes the bag from him draping it over her shoulder. She offers him a polite smile and a thank you before turning around and heading towards the building. A few moments later she finally reaches the building and is stopped by the security guard on duty. She reaches into the front pocket of her gym bag for her company id. Seconds later she pulls out the small plastic card and hands it to him. He looks on the clipboard in his hands and searches for Serenity’s name. Finding it towards the bottom of the page he crosses it off handing the card back to her. She shoves it back into the pocket of her gym bag as she heads inside. She stopped at the check in desk for her locker room assignment and to see if Jason had arrived yet. After being told that her locker room was number 423 she was told that Jason hadn’t arrived yet but scheduled any minute. Serenity nodded in acceptance as she took the key and headed on her way. She made her way down the long hallway going almost to the end. Finally finding room 423 she stuck the key in the lock turning it all the way till she could hear it click. She twisted the knob slightly pushing it inward and making her way inside. Serenity gave the room a small look over as she tossed her bag on the couch. It wasn’t the best but it would do. It wasn’t like she was going to be spending all day in there. She reached into the main section of her bag pulling out a metallic pink iPod, clipping it on the waistband of her jeans she lowered herself on the floor to start on her stretches. After a couple of minutes she found a song that suited her fancy and pressed play. As the song started to play through her headphones she leaned towards the right, stretching out her right leg. She was so consumed with her pre training stretching that she was unaware that the door to her locker room had opened and her husband Jason Reso had entered the room. Jason walked up behind her. He brushed her long blonde hair away from her neck moving his face towards her in an attempt to give her a kiss on the neck. Serenity pulled away swinging her hand back almost hitting him. Jason ducked just in time watching Serenity’s hand swing into the dead air. %Jason Reso% Whoa…hold on there Seren, what are you trying to do take me out instead? %Serenity Chambers Reso% Not unless you’ve recently became a woman and changed your name to Ivy. %Jason Reso% Lucky for me I haven’t. By the mood you’re in I take it that your web chat yesterday didn’t go very well. %Serenity Chambers Reso% Eh, it was the usual round of bullshit about how great Ivy was and how she’s going to beat me. Morons. The girl just steps foot in the company and because she’s got this reputation of being great elsewhere she’s suddenly the all to end all here. Of course she plays right into it. %Jason Reso% Plays into it how? %Serenity Chambers Reso% Apparently she’s some sort of savior that was brought in here by management to bring up the ratings in the divas division and save them from low ratings. The best part that people like me need to see that. %Jason Reso% Sounds to me like she’s a little sick in the head. %Serenity Chambers Reso% She’s a little more than a little sick. Ivy gives a new meaning to the word nut job. Both Serenity and Jason share a laugh at the comment. As they do a knock comes on the door. Serenity raises her head just enough to turn towards the door. She calls for whoever is out there to come in then turns her head back around and lays it back down on Jason’s chest. The doorknob starts to turn and eventually the door starts to open. As it does WGEF interviewer Kris Dawson stepped inside the room with the same blank expression on her face that she always had. Seeing Maria standing there waiting for Serenity to notice, Jason tapped her on the shoulder pointing to Kris standing by the doorway. Serenity pulled her arm back eventually pulling herself to a seated position, turning to face Kris. She couldn’t help but notice the microphone in Kris’s hand. Serenity rolled her eyes as she motioned for Maria to have a seat. %Serenity Chambers% Not that I don’t already know Maria, but what do you want? %Kris Dawson% Well actually I was hoping that I could…uh…ask you a few questions about your match Friday night against Ivy. %Serenity Chambers% (sighs) Very well Ivy, it’s not like you’ll leave me alone till I say yes. So ask your stupid questions and get this over with. %Kris Dawson% Later on you’re facing…um…Ivy. She sounds mean. I mean I caught her interview with Jessica and she said a lot of nasty things. Are you nervous about facing her? %Serenity Chambers Reso% About facing Ivy, are you kidding? She comes into this company acting like she’s some sort of savior that management brought her to help boost up the ratings because none of the divas around here have been able to do it. %Kris Dawson% But you guys are good, why would she say that? %Serenity Chambers Reso% Because she’s full of shit, why else? She’s trying to make herself seem like she’s better than she really is. Is she good? Quite possibly she is but good enough to raise the competition around here by herself I highly doubt that. I’ll admit there are some divas around here that spend more time looking for their next roll in the hay than in the ring, but you get that anywhere. I. however, am not one of those. I actually spend a great deal of time in the ring, you can ask my husband if you don’t believe me. %Kris Dawson% No, it’s okay I believe you. %Serenity Chambers Reso% How fantastic for you. %Kris Dawson% You sound pretty confident that you’ve got what it takes to beat Ivy, but she also said that she can beat you. What do you have to say on that? %Serenity Chambers Reso% Are you serious with that question? (Kris nods) Somehow I figured that you would. Tell me something Kris, do you really think that I would say someone other than myself. I may be blonde but contrary to the opinions of some people around here I’m far from stupid. %Kris Dawson% Do you have any last words for Ivy? A slight smirk spreads across Serenity’s face as she turns her attention from Kris to the camera that was pointed at her. %Serenity Chambers Reso% Ivy…I know you’re watching this. Paying close attention to every little word that comes out of my mouth getting yourself all bent out of shape about how wrong I am. You can try as hard as you want and it will never happen. Why? Because you and I both know that everything I have said is right. No matter how much you try and deny it, you know that it’s true. This little image of yours about being hired by management to boost up the ratings around here is nothing more than a joke. And that will be proven. Everything you have worked for will be gone and you will be left lying on the mat in an unconscious heap. You think that it will be you walking out of this match the winner but I know different. I will be walking out of the Norfolk Scope with yet another victory under my belt and at the your expense to boot. Keep living in your dream world Ivy cause soon reality is going to hit and you’re going to have nowhere to run but back to where you came from. She turns towards Kris. %Serenity Chambers Reso% Now if you don’t mind I have a match to get ready for. This interview is over. Without saying a word Kris motioned for the camera man to stop filming. She rose from her seat making her way across the room and into the hallway leaving both Serenity and Jason alone as the scene fades to black.
