Tani Lyons was a person that didn't like even the thought of losing. She wasn't the type to take it lightly and she sure as hell wasn't the type to just let it happen. She had in front of her an opportunity to show that she was a true force in iicx. Tani didn't have much of a problem facing a girl that so obviously had less talent than her, however she would have a problem with getting beat by a girl that had less talent than her. So Tani was extremely set on making sure that this match ended in her favor. Sure it was obvious that the match was already leaning towards her and she wasn't going to waste it but she wanted to prove that her winning was a result of her skills not her ability to have people in all the ring places. Then again though...a win is a win. Nothing felt better to Tani than a win which was why she strived to end every match with one. It was an empowering feeling to know that you were stronger and better than a person a feeling that Tani felt addicted to. This addiction though wasn't a bad one. She was addicted to the simple thought being the best, the notion that one person could have so much power simply intrigued her. It was probably why she was so attracted to Scott. He was the same way, he was always looking for the win and he himself knew how to accomplish it even if he hadn't truly won the match. She also loved the attention that she got from winning, knowing that people have seen you overcome another person. Those same people realizing that when you step into that ring you aren't there to just have a good time. This was surely an addiction that Tani couldn't kick, one that she didn't care to kick. She was done playing in Scott's shadow in iicx and she was going to step up to the plate and do what she was meant to do, something she loved to do...win.

Tani gripped tightly onto the dark leather chair. She was anxious as usual to get started. She looked up to the clock and then back to the closed door. She loosened her grip and began to tap her fingers on the seat syncing the sound with the tick of the clock. She glanced over at the receptionist seeing the look of annoyance in her eyes. Tani narrowed her eyes and stopped her tapping looking back to the closed door. Finally there was a little jiggle on the handle. Tani sat up in her chair as the door opened up. A blonde woman stepped out she was speaking with an older man. He was balding but had a ring of gray hair. The blonde woman walked past Tani and out the office doors. The man then looked over to Tani with a bright smile. The type of smile that people in bad moods everywhere would hate. Tani pushed herself up out of the chair making her way over to him.

Tani Lyons; Doctor Wallace, how good to see you again.

The man chuckled a little to himself.

Dr. Wallace; Well good to see you too Tani. It's been a whole week has it?

Tani shrugged her shoulders making her way passed him into the cozy office. It was filled with books upon books. In the middle sat a couch and two chairs and squeezed into the corner was a small desk that had tons of paperwork piled onto it. Tani took her usual seat on the couch laying down as the doctor sat in one of the chairs next to her. He cleared his throat before picking up his clipboard and pen from the other chair.

Dr. Wallace; Alright Tani what seems to be bothering you this week?

Tani Lyons; Well besides the fact that I have to go up against the slut of iicx not a whole lot.

The doctor cleared his throat again, obviously uncomfortable with the language and harshness in Tani's voice.

Tani Lyons; Sorry doctor but it's true. She is the resident slut. I've been practically assigned to take her out, honestly it isn't going to take much but I feel so stressed out.

Dr. Wallace; Now why's that if you feel it's going to be easy?

Tani shrugged her shoulders a tad.

Tani Lyons; I'm not sure. It's just a feeling I get every time I have a match I guess. I think it's because I have a problem, some sort of addiction to the very thought of winning and since every match has a chance at losing I just get anxious and nervous about it. I feel like if I don't get the win I will just get even more anxious and nervous for the next match. I need to win it's something that I truly NEED. It sounds so odd though, I've never been that drawn to anything in my life but winning.

Dr. Wallace; When do you believe that started?

Tani looked up to him and let out a sigh. She then looked up to the cracking ceiling once again.

Tani Lyons; Oh geez I have no idea. I suppose my earliest memory of true competitiveness was when I was five. I was playing little league tee ball and I was up to bat. I smacked the bat into the ball and it went flying. Everyone was impressed because I was so young. That's when I found out what it meant to win, what it meant to be known and to be praised. To impress people. I don't know that was the first time that I found out how good it felt to win how empowering and great it was. It's hard to get that feeling anymore in this business as a woman doc. We're not always considered the best even if we know we are. I'm not gonna complain too much though because I'm getting my shot at showing what I'm capable of. I'm going to be able to show off my skills and impress people. Maybe that's what I'm addicted to, impressing people. Then again that just comes with the whole winning thing...I don't know.

Tani shrugged again.

Dr. Wallace; Tani it just seems to me that you have a competitive nature, it's not exactly an addiction.

Tani shook her head pushing herself up on her elbows.

Tani Lyons; No, you don't get it. It isn't just me being competitive and wanting to win. It's me needing to win or I won't feel satisfied.

Dr. Wallace; That's very common.

Tani Lyons; No it's not, it's not common for a person to want to win so bad that they would sacrifice anything. I want to be known doc, I want to be the girl that everyone fears that everyone looks at and knows her name. I want people to be intimidated at the very site of seeing my name against them on a card. I don't just want to win, because a win isn't just a win a win is everything. A win leads to more and more success and a win leads to you getting your name out there. It takes you to another level. I realize that this win won't mean a lot it will be a win that was already there something that was supposed to happen but it will still lead to me being the one that took care of Kendrix. She plays all nice and she has all that heart but what will it mean after she's taken care of? What will it mean when she's laying motionless on the mat? It won't mean a thing and do you know why doctor? Because the only thing that will matter at that point is me winning. I can't even stand to think of losing a match, especially a match like this a match where I am the better wrestler, where I have a better mental hold on the sport. She's just a pathetic little girl messing around in a woman's world, but she's gonna get burned by the fact that she isn't anything but a toy for me to throw around. I am not going to play the same "nice" game with her because that's not my style, not even close. I'm going to play my game with my rules and I am going to show Kendrix why she should be afraid of going up against someone like me, why she shouldn't have stepped out of place to start with.

Tani's breathing had become heavy with excitement for the match. The doctor look to her with his eyebrow raised.

Dr. Wallace; Well thats...dark. Darker than you usually are.

Tani Lyons; I know this is what I mean. I have so many reasons to win I have so many reasons to be the best and I have never EVER found myself wanting it this bad. It's weird though because this match truly doesn't mean anything to me. I've gone up against much bigger names, I mean hell I've made a true name for myself and I'm stuck going up against a broad with no experience and somehow this is the match where I realize that winning means everything to me. That even if I can already feel my hand being raised at the end of the match, I'm still anxious and nervous. It's like a disease and the only way to get rid of it is to in fact win.

Tani let out a sigh.

Tani Lyons; I don't know what's with me right now though truly. That's why I came to see you. To see if you could help me out. Try and help me find the reason why I am so hell bent on winning all the time why I feel like I need to do it.

Dr. Wallace; Honestly Tani it's just who you are. You have always been competitive, every so often you come in here simply to talk about an upcoming match. It's like you can't get enough of talking about it. Surely you talk to Scott about this stuff.

Tani nodded her head.

Dr. Wallace; Then you come here and talk with it to me. That's what would help, just get the match out of your system by talking about it. I remember that you used to do that all the time and you were never this anxious or nervous. Perhaps you should try that again...actually I have something that might help right now..

The doctor got to his feet. He made his way over to his paper covered desk and opened up one of the drawers. He pulled out a video camera. He made his way back towards Tani who had pushed herself up on the couch in a sitting position. She rose her eyebrow as the doctor took a seat.

Tani Lyons; Why do you have that around?

Dr. Wallace; It's to help people, normally I film addicts speaking about their addiction so that they can watch it and realize their true problems. However in this case, I will allow you to use it in order to talk about your match, about your opponent whatever you feel is needed.

He pressed the record button, the red light flickered on.

Dr. Wallace; Whenever you're ready.

Tani sat across from the doctor who held the camera steady.

Tani Lyons; Well I suppose I should start by talking about the girl I'm facing..Kendrix Mason. From what I know of her she's been around with a lot of guys. She doesn't have any experience and she thinks that she is leave the match just the way she came in. However I happen to this differently. She talked about doing her job, about going into the ring and doing what she could and that being enough, but to me it's not enough. To me that will never be a good enough thing for me to have an actual match with. I go up against people that have history people that have been in the business forever and I beat them. I better myself every single time that I set into that ring but when I'm going up against someone that doesn't know what they're doing it frustrates me and it causes me to dumb myself down and to loss some of my actual talent. This time though is going to be different. I have a new outlook on how I'm going to do things and it is basically based on the way my boyfriend does things, with no mercy for the opponent. I don't care how much experience she has in the ring or how badly she didn't want to be put in the position she's in. I am here to give her a lesson and to show her why she needs to stick to what she knows. I am going to get into that ring and I'm going to let out my frustrations with everything. I haven't had a match in a month or so and I sure as hell am not going to let that slow me down.

Tani took in a deep breath.

Tani Lyons; I want the wrestling world to understand something about me. I want them to understand that I am not just one of the girls that plays manager around here. I am not just another one of those girls that is meant to be arm candy and I never have been. I am in Scott's corner because there hasn't been a chance for me to jump out of my shell and prove that what I have is better than what other people have. I have true talent I have the ability to be everything that everyone else wants to be and I have the ability to make it look better than anyone could imagine. I have this opportunity just laying at my feet and I would be a complete idiot to pass it by. I do not in any ways doubt my ability to get a job done, and I refuse to let it be mistaken for that. I do not doubt my talent or the fact that I will completely take out Kendrix Mason. She realizes just as much as anyone else that I am going to unleash my new attitude on her and she is going to end up looking like a fool much like she is already. This girl has no clue though what my new attitude is about, besides just being a no mercy standpoint it's about leaving the opponent motionless it's about a new level of trash talking or everything really. I don't know how to explain it exactly but that's the beauty of it. It doesn't need to be explained it just needs to be shown and I will do just that when the time comes and it will feel great.

Tani grinned.

Tani Lyons; I'm going to make myself proud and I'm going to make Scott proud. I'm going to be the new example of greatness. I am going to show my past employers that I deserved better than what they handed me and I am going to show all my enemies that they were lucky to be in the path of the other Tani. Because this is a new look for me and new attitude. I am going to be the true Mistress of Distruction and there won't be anyone to show differently.

Tani nodded her head and the doctor stopped recording. He lowered the camera nodding his head.

Dr. Wallace; Very good Tani, how did that make you feel?

Tani shrugged.

Tani Lyons; It made me feel more ready for me match I suppose. The girl doesn't like my opinions on her but who really cares. I know what I know and I will stick with that much. Anyways doc, I really have to go. Thanks for the session it did make me feel better.

The doctor nodded to Tani.

Dr. Wallace; That's what I'm here for. Good luck in the match.

Tani got to her feet and the doctor was close behind. He opened up the door letting Tani out. She made her way out of the office. scene fades
