The instigator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She controlled everything. 

When in the beautiful city of Paris, one was less likely to contemplate inflicting pain on others. But being a woman who literally spun as much hatred as Rumpelstiltskin spun gold, it was expected of her to ruin this night for either men in this match. Although the odds were stacked against Drew Stevenson, Rebecca was clearly the outsider as the two men were friends outside of the business whilst pure enemies of hers.

Currently seated in a lobby of one of Paris’s most extravagant hotels, Pavillon de la Reine, Rebecca played with the laces of her Minnetonka moccasin boots as she effortlessly flipped through the pages of the French vogue. It was only fitting that Rebecca hand picked this luxurious hotel, that was rather rich in history, to stay in as she admired it’s peace and serene nature. The other half of the Aryans was possibly inside the suite they currently dwelled in but this one had some business to take care of.

As stated by Drew Stevenson, BUD looked upon the three superstars of the main event as portrayals of the past, present and future of wrestling in the domain. However, that statement was somewhat disputable. Whilst the past was set in stone and the present was just as it is, the future was not solid yet. Kevin Sane was a mere candidate for the heavyweight championship, nothing more or less. Even though what he did in the past few weeks was moderately impressive in the books of Rebecca Rancid, he was not something that would shape the future of the domain and set standards for future candidates. What was interfering with the future was the ghost of BUD’s past, which could inevitably control what the future holds for the domain. If Rebecca were to become champion, she would inspire others to enter BUD in order to compete with her as compared to her opponents, she had the ability to garner more attention. Call it jealousy if you will, or the desire for pure competition, it was a proven fact that whilst Rebecca was the BUD title holder, she captured the attention of almost everyone, even those who never set foot in the domain. This was only the type of fame that superstars like Seifer and Sean Hunter could attain and therefore they were successful Heavyweight champions.

Drew Stevenson didn’t meet the standards of the previous heavyweight title holders. He was a champion who fought for what he desired; to keep his belt. However, his competition was very inconsequential and he was received challenges by great wrestlers rather sporadically, ones which he was forced to decline. Although he was truly a brave champion, it was blatant that his title reign did not have any impact on those in the domain. BUD was desperately seeking a new Heavyweight champion and they could either find that in Rebecca Rancid or a man named Kevin Sane.

This week Kevin might be standing adjacent to Rebecca Rancid in the ring but his position would change dramatically in a few weeks. Soon the man will find himself opposite of the pyro princess while he attempts to tackle whatever challenges she throws his way in order to pass and face the current heavyweight champion. Kevin never harbored any ill will towards the champion but his hatred towards Rebecca Rancid was obvious as it lacked subtlety.

It might seem that this week’s match was a rather effortless victory for Stevenson as he knew his opponents shared more hatred for each other than for him. Although that truly was the case, things were going to be different now that Rebecca was able to see clearly.

A man, say in his early thirties rushed into the hotel’s lobby in a rather helpless manner as he bumped into other guests who brushed by him. After approaching Rebecca, who paid no mind to him, he slammed is bag next to her and adjusted his glasses.

“Better late than never,�?she mustered under her breath without having to glance at him.

“You have no idea how hard it was for me to get here,�?/FONT> he complains. “I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting.�?/FONT>

Looking up from the magazine, she glares at him for a second before putting it aside to commence with their interview. Rebecca was never one to arrive late for anything, she truly believed in the phrase “The early bird catches the worm.�?In this case, our pyro princess had two worms to capture in this week’s tangle.

“You be better be,�?she replied sternly before gently patting the couch she was sitting on for him to join her at once. And this time, without any complaints, he sits down graciously besides her. The two exchanged pleasantries before quickly getting down to business. This Parisian was hired to interview Rebecca in place of one of BUD’s regulars because one can assume they wanted to give it a French twist, although this man was not a local himself, as you could already tell by his accent.

“I’m sure you are already aware of your opponent and partner’s spin on the match. Kevin Sane has stated that he does not care whether you get involved in the match or not. However, Drew Stevenson expects to win as he believes it will be easier for him with you out of the picture,�?says the man whilst quickly skimming over a piece of paper. “I’m not exactly positive if they understood that you were under the influence when you first decided your position on the match,�?he continues.

Rebecca chuckles at first whilst running her fingers through her long blonde hair, but comes across as more serious when she sits back comfortably to carefully explain her position in the match.

“I admit that I did think seeing Kevin Sane fall at the hands of the champion was rather entertaining to watch. However, I seem to be dealing with gay and gayer here as these men couldn’t be more in love with each other. With Sane charging at me the way he did when I issued a challenge to Drew, I thought he’d be a cocky manipulative asshole because of his recent fling with Jiles. But it turns out that Kevin Sane is truly a saint and so is Stevenson who apparently doesn’t believe in the art of cheating,�?/FONT> states Rebecca whilst rolling her bright blue eyes.

“He did mention that he would never have his assistant Zoey cheat although I’m pretty sure he can’t control her actions,�?the interviewer chimes in adding to her statement.

“I’ll give Stevenson that, he truly is a sweetheart. I’m sure he’d be good competition in the ring as I believe he really does give it his all but he still would be no match for me. When it comes to wrestling, I have been naturally gifted with enough rage, technique and not even Drew could deny that I’m crafty. When you really think about it, it was me who set the standards for this match. I did the official shuffle, in which I was the instigator whilst these two idiots were meant to make a mess out of each other. It will only be me who now changes this around to have a proper match with these two gentlemen. I think I’m going to be fully competing in the match now in order to cause Drew Stevenson a loss,�?said Rebecca as fans on all over would soon be shocked with the news.

The well heeled woman called for someone in the area and at once she received service, that which came on a silver platter. Try and sense the irony of this situation. Three cigarettes were nicely arranged on it as the kind gentlemen held a lighter up to her cigarette.

“I’ll make this clear though,�?she said whilst taking a puff. “I’m not doing this because Kevin Sane had recently admitted to not caring for a loss.�?Now being able to hold the cigarette in her own hand, she lifted it a few inches away from her as the smoke kissed her face whilst she spoke. “I think that statement was full of bullshit. If he never really cared for a loss on his record, he wouldn’t have bragged so much about having a clean slate. It all seems to be big sham, this good guy act he’s putting up. All this kind hearted bullshit is hard to swallow, especially from a man who once stated that his cock would turn flaccid if he were to put it in my mouth. That’s not very Christian like, Kevin and neither is having your sex tape made public,�?/FONT> says Rebecca in a quiet, saccharine tone before cackling in a very evil manner.

“Speaking of that sex tape,�?interrupts the Parisian. “I’m sure you’ve got enough of dirt on him there.�?/FONT>

Rebecca nods whilst taking another drag of the cigarette that loosely lies between her fingers.

“His penis appeared to be rather small,�?/FONT> she says casually. “I wouldn’t be one who would want to imagine how tiny it would be whilst flaccid. I really try not to bother about Kevin’s appearance anymore. I’ve stated what I thought of him when it mattered and I’m sticking to my guns whether he likes it or not.�?/FONT>

“What about his rude comments regarding you challenging Drew?�?he asked quizzically.

“Oh, don’t even get me started on that. I challenged Drew and my reasons were quite clear - BUD was lacking in true competition for the heavyweight champion. I didn’t know Kevin was an eligible candidate as well as he only seemed to be messing around in the franchise division at that time. I guess I immediately put him on his period as he came in charging to inform me that HE was the contender for the belt. Apparently someone or something gave him the idea that he was to be next in line. Perhaps it was a miracle when Jesus Christ himself came down to earth only to tell Kevin Sane he was the chosen one. I do not know how and where Kevin Sane got the idea that he was a more suitable competitor than I am but I would ask of him to please wipe that thought out of his sawdust filled head. I’m as eligible for this title as he is and I’m not stepping in front of him. The only reason he makes that statement is because he fears that he doesn’t have what it takes to defeat me. I’ll get down to the heart of the matter here, Frenchie. Kevin Sane was hoping to simply brush by Drew Stevenson in order to attain the title and let’s be honest, once he won the title, he would simply drop it to the next idiot in line and walk away. I’ve seen his type throughout my wrestling career,�?states Rebecca as she briefly inhales from the cigarette. “Those type of people have no longevity in federations whatsoever. It wouldn’t surprise me if Kevin Sane was seen packing his bags in the near future and leaving BUD because he can’t handle what I’m going to toss his way very soon.�?/FONT>

“And what might that be?�?/FONT> asked the intrigued interviewer.

“One would have to wait and see,�?she says cleverly before putting the cigarette out in the tray. “I suppose since this week, Drew is meant to be the enemy, I should stop focusing on my current partner and more on the man that holds what will soon be mine for the taking. I have no current animosity towards Drew whatsoever, but it’s rather unpredictable at this point as the next few weeks will change a lot of things for this man. We shall soon see what Drew is like with this much pressure on his back and to kick things off, I might add more weight just so I can see him crumble under the proverbial world he carries on his shoulders. Since I have now decided to look at this match from another angle, Drew should take this as a hint that I’m not one who is easy to read. It was rather naïve of him to simply assume that I would let him have this match without him having to jump through a few of my hurdles. Although, I do thank him for being able to identify, without any problems, that I’m a scheming little bitch and state it in the nicest way possible.�?/FONT>

The rather petite woman stretched and invaded the interviewer’s comfort zone as she moved in closer to him, reading over his shoulders.

“What is it you’ve got there?�?she asks as though interested but then shifts the topic to something else. You could tell she was easily getting bored with talking about her two opponents.

“After *I* beat Drew Stevenson, and quite possibly manage to take Kevin Sane out of the match, I would really like to see what they have to say about me then. I wonder if Kevin would keep his Saint image and admit that the loss I will soon be causing him does nothing to his self esteem. Oh, and I also decided not to throw this match as I want Kevin Sane to experience his first loss against me,�?she states with much confidence, which is often mistaken for cockiness amongst her peers. It was quite unfortunate that Rebecca would only be considered modest if she constantly put herself down and admitted that a loss would mean nothing to her.

“One last thing about Sane,�?/FONT> says the interviewer. “And I apologize for not mentioning this earlier but he stated that he has been performing week in and week out against superstars like Taiokaion, Midnight and a few others whilst you have barely been active in the ring.�?/FONT>

“Oh please!�?Rebecca exclaimed once more. “His competition was equivalent to that of Leaky Format, one of whom I apparently put an end to once he started getting smart. What did this match take place? A PPV before BUD mania where he received a shot at the heavyweight title against Drew Stevenson. I re-entered the halls of BUD before Kevin Sane entered. He claims that my recent claim to fame was because I was involved in a triangle with Jiles and Sparrow. Honey, if that was so minor, why was it the best match of the evening? Stevenson only got the main event because he was a title holder or else myself and Jade would have easily secured that position. That was more than just a love triangle, child, that was a well built feud between BUD’s best females. Kevin simply sees me as someone who has never worked a day in her life, which makes him look like a fool. How do you think I got this far, Kevin? Why am I so much more popular than you are? I wasn‘t handed anything and you‘ll certainly find out why. I‘m not just a name on the lips of people but rather, I‘d like to be footprint on your ass when you‘re out of heavyweight champion circle.�?/FONT>

The man nods at Rebecca’s last statement as he clearly agrees with it. The vindictive blonde pressed her back against the couch as she continued to speak of her partner.

“While Kevin and I do not get along, I believe that what we have against each other should be saved for next week. This week, it is Drew Stevenson who I shall hold down for the three count and score a win over the heavyweight champion. That is of course, enough to sweep the masses as they will already see me as their next Heavyweight championship. And pretty soon, my friends, I will get BUD the audience it had when I was at the helm.�?/FONT>

"Thank you very much for this interview, Miss Rebecca," said the french man as he got up to shake her hand. She, however, sat put and simply extended her rather fragile arm. "I hope you and your boyfriend have a wonderful time in Paris."

"Oh we will," Rebecca winked whilst slowly picking herself up from the leather couch. "And it will be in celebration of my victory of these two.. I mean Drew."

The scene quickly ended as Rebecca headed back upstairs to fetch her lover.

Romance in the city
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The end of the lovebirds. 

This time, we spot the lovely couple that is Rebecca and Sparrow as they travel the streets of Paris on foot. It had been a rather fun time in Paris as the trouble causing twosome lethargically hung around their chosen room all weekend. However, it was time now for the match to commence and that involved Rebecca leaving the hotel in Paris she dwelled in for the past days. Paris, the city of blinding lights, was a city which inspired the most romantic gestures and declarations. Who would have thought that in this very city, a bond tighter than brotherhood would grow between two men that were Drew Stevenson and Kevin Sane.

It was obvious to the eye that these two men were in love with each other as they had no bad words for each when approached with questions about their match. If Drew Stevenson and Kevin were to face one on one, the arena would most likely go to sleep due to excess boredom. However, Rebecca was thrown into the mixture to make things interesting with her scheming and bitter sweetness, she was the one who the spotlight was focused on.

But although she was as bad as can be, Rebecca was quite generous. She was willing to give Stevenson and Sane the attention they begged for and therefore both her and her lover stopped by something that caught their eye.

A man was sketching the pristine streets of Paris before Rebecca quickly demanded he hand over his drawing tools. With fear coming over him, he quietly handed her his meal ticket as she a hundred bucks on his face.

“Drew, I understand the feeling of going up against your lover in a match,�?says Rebecca in voice only Benjamin Linus would use when trying to manipulate a foe. Often, his feelings were very well concealed and he was always in control, regardless of the situation he was put in. “Trust me, I’ve been there myself therefore I shall spare you of ever having to go through that. You won’t necessarily have to ever face Kevin Sane in the ring again. Perhaps I will, time and again, to prove that I am better than him and more deserving of the title you hold for us.�?/FONT>

She begins to sit in the man’s place sketching rather quickly. One would have never imagined Rebecca as someone who was artistically inclined but she was. Ever detail was down to the point as she was one who memorized every detail of the structure of a face. That’s how she studied enemies, in such short periods of time, she was easily able to identify their next move.

“Look at me as your savior,�?/FONT> she says with a wink. “I’m the key that stops the war you’re supposed to fight with Kevin Sane. It is *I* who can prevent the two of you from having some husband and wife dispute by simply being the one who faces you in this ring. Since I assume Kevin may hold back in this match or the loss will be minor to him, I might have to step in. From the very moment I get into that ring till the moment I’m forced to get out, I’ll give you the small preview of our future match you are begging for in the ring. I suppose you could call me cocky, but that’s all I believe I need to do to be proclaimed the winner of this match. Of course, I’ll be carrying the carcass that is Kevin Sane’s body with me in the ring but I assure you that won’t slow me down a bit. I could chain him to my ankle and it wouldn’t make a difference.�?/FONT>

With a few more strokes of her pencil, Rebecca is done sketching what she desired to. Immediately, she flips the canvas for the audience to see.

“To Paris,�?said Rebecca with a smirk. “The city that ends these two lovebirds.�?/FONT>

The illustration shows Drew Stevenson and Kevin Sane fallen with their hearts not intact with the body. Whilst a woman who Rebecca believes to be herself stands atop of them with her legs strategically placed on both their chests.

“I think this is going to be the outcome of the main event and I’m sorry to inform you of this, boys. But you will never think of Paris the same again. I hope the both of you are ready because I’ll be taking you down, Stevenson. As for Kevin Sane, he might as get in that ring so he can get as much exposure as possible. Also, he’ll be able to see why I deserve a contendership to your title more than he does.�?/FONT>

Rebecca blows a kiss and shouts “Au revior�?
