Ashley Kenyon and Jeszika Gautier sit on the couch in Ashley’s house, a movie playing before them on the big screen. Ashley’s attention is on the screen while Jeszika’s is elsewhere do to her falling asleep almost immediately with the lights turned down. As the movie moves towards its climax, Jeszika suddenly wakes up and screams, looking scared out of her mind and seemingly ready to run. Ashley looks over at her in shock, pausing the movie.
Ashley Kenyon: Jesus, Jezzy, it ain’t that scary!
Jeszika scans the area, suddenly realizing where she is and who she’s with.
Jeszika Gautier: But... I....
She shakes her head and says quietly to herself.
Jeszika Gautier: Not again…
Ashley frowns. Why was her friend yammering to herself under her breath? This was just a movie, granted, one that Jeszika had just managed to miss a good portion of. What was going on here?
Ashley Kenyon: Again? I thought you said you'd never seen this movie before...
Jeszika Gautier: I haven't... I mean... I nodded off and missed most of it...
Ashley giggles.
Ashley Kenyon: Good thing they have it on demand then!
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah, I suppose it is…
She manages a smile.
Jeszika Gautier: Wanna go back to start then?
Ashley shrugs.
Ashley Kenyon: Ok, so long as you ain’t gonna pass out all over again. Are you ok, Jezzy?
Jeszika nods, trying really hard not to show anything regarding the truth of the situation show through her veneer. Ashley simply didn’t need to know.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah I'm fine... just tired is all.
Ashley nods like she doesn't really believe this line at all.
Ashley Kenyon: Doesn't look like nothing.
Jeszika Gautier: Just a little off put about the other night. What happened on the show.... and seriously needing something. You know I used the other day, right?
Ashley’s eyes go wide as she almost drop the remote control.
Ashley Kenyon: And you didn’t call me?
Jeszika Gautier: It was spur of the moment... had I stopped to call you I would have talked myself out of it... besides it was in Vegas.
Ashley can't help but let her fist fall to the couch cushion.
Ashley Kenyon: You went to Vegas?
Jeszika nodded.
Jeszika Gautier: Did you see what happened to me on the show?
Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah... the rose thing. Everybody was talking about whether it might have been Sentinel.
Jeszika can’t believe her ears. The big silent guy? The one who had spent so much time trying desperately to make things NOT personal?
Jeszika Gautier: Sentinel? Why Sentinel? I don't even have the title anymore why would he be Interested in me?
Ashley shrugs as it doesn’t matter to her at all before looking down at the remote.
Ashley Kenyon: You know that thing Bethy got earlier that night, with the note and white rose?
Jeszika still can’t believe her ears. None of this made any sense at all.
Jeszika Gautier: That was from him? You're saying my stalker her him?
Ashley shrugs.
Ashley Kenyon: That was the rumor. Bethy asked some guy who had sent the one to her and that guy said Sentinel had.
Ashley ponders this for a second.
Ashley Kenyon: You know, the guy in the hoodie didn't look big enough to be Sentinel and Sentinel doesn't have blue eyes... but... if that wasn't him... was the first one actually him or was that delivery guy just mistaken?
Looking confused herself, Jeszika squeezes her hand into a fist.
Jeszika Gautier: I don't know but I intend to find out.
Ashley nods slowly.
Ashley Kenyon: Did you find out anything in Vegas with Craven?
Jeszika shakes her head.
Jeszika Gautier: It wasn't him. That's all I know.
Her eyes narrowing, Ashley cocks her head in questioning confusion. That answer came a little quick even for Jezzy.
Ashley Kenyon: How do you know it wasn't him?
Jeszika Gautier: His voice, it wasn't the same as the one I heard.
Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: How do you know he didn't just use one of them voice thingamabobbers that Nik talks about using?
Jezika stares forward as if that idea had never occurred to her. What IF that had happened? It could be literally anybody...
Jeszika Gautier: I suppose he could have...
Ashley Kenyon: Did he have an alibi?
Jeszika nods almost absently, her mind still on the last comment.
Jeszika Gautier: He was working in Vegas.
Ashley Kenyon: Guess it would be hard to be in Vegas and Kansas at the same time.
Jeszika chuckles at this.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah pretty hard. If not him... then who else would?
The two sit silence for a second, contemplating this question between them. Who COULD it be if not Craven?
Ashley Kenyon: Doesn’t that Shonn Maguire asshole have blue eyes?
Jeszika glances down her phone and quickly searches for a photo of the aforementioned Mr. Maguire.
Jeszika Gautier: He does! And that bastard would totally do something like this.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah, he would...
Jeszika lowers her phone, shaking her head with disgust.
Jeszika Gautier: Bastard...
Her hands clench into fists and Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: Fuckin' guy was right there watching at our every stop lately too!
This information seems to surprise Jeszika.
Jeszika Gautier: He was?
Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: Well yeah, he was at the bar before Tragic Engagement. Then he was at the top of the ramp during a match and he was in the room for the incident with Brody, Bethy and Aerynn right before we found you.
Jeszika Gautier: It’s him! It has to be!
Ashley Kenyon: Aren't you fighting him this show too?
Jeszika nods, almost excited.
Jeszika Gautier: That's right I am! Makes total fucking sense now. He's just trying to get into my head!!
Ashley nods as they go quiet again for a second, the idea of partying rattling around in her head. It had always been so much fun and here they’d both just done some...
Ashley Kenyon: So... you had some, did ya?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah.... coke and some sedative can't remember the name.
Ashley sits back dreamily.
Ashley Kenyon: Sounds fun...
Jeszika nods, looking mildly ashamed but also like she’d really, really like to do it again.
Jeszika Gautier: It was... but I really shouldn't have cause now I want more...
Ashley can’t hide her hungry smile.
Ashley Kenyon: Where'd ya get it from?
The answer comes back without any thought or hesitation.
Jeszika Gautier: Skylar’s little sister Cindy.
Ashley Kenyon: Skylar?
She ponders this for a second.
Ashley Kenyon: As in Mrs. Craven, Skylar? You went there to confront the guy, probably punched him in the mouth and then did his drugs for him?
Jeszika nods in the affirmative
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah... I know I'm such a fucking idiot...
Licking her lips, Ashley’s grins intensifies.
Ashley Kenyon: How much did he have?
Jeszika just stares back at Ashley.
Jeszika Gautier: If I answer that we'll be driving off to Vegas to raid his stash.
Ashley’s eyes go wide with excitement.
Ashley Kenyon: What is he, a fuckin dealer?
Jeszika shrugs.
Jeszika Gautier: I don't know but he had a lot of drugs.
Ashley sits up, nodding.
Ashley Kenyon: Man, I should go to the Pleasure Dome more often!
Jeszika Gautier: Wouldn't mind being surrounded by hookers?
Ashley shrugs.
Ashley Kenyon: You and Bethy have dated a porn star and I date a guy even she thought was a little shady... hookers would almost seem tame...
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Touche.
Sensing she might have just gone over the line a little bit, Ashley sucks in a quick breath.
Ashley Kenyon: Don't get me wrong, I love Carrie like a sister and all but... it's not like we haven't put in our time near people who do things... ya know?
Jeszika nods, trying to let her friend off the hook.
Jeszika Gautier: That's true.
Ashley sits back, looking off into the distance all dreamily.
Ashley Kenyon: Man... I miss that stuff so much!
Jeszika nods her agreement wishing like hell she wasn’t.
Jeszika Gautier: Me too.
Ashley exhales forcefully.
Ashley Kenyon: I don't see why Bethy got so mad at me when I had a little blow with Lis. Its not like I got blind drunk, snorted half of Peru and then shot up before I came to the meeting. I went over to a friend's house, they offered me a little bit and I had some. It may as well have been like having a beer and here she is coming on like had I an eightball laid out right in front of y'all or something!
Jeszika nods slowly.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah I don’t get it either... I'm dreading her finding out I did some...
Ashley snickers to cover the resentment in her voice.
Ashley Kenyon: Maybe you'll get lucky and she won't get mad at you.
Staring at the television, Ashley shrugs almost hopelessly.
Ashley Kenyon: I hope the next job comes through or I'm gonna go crazy sitting here doing nothing but stewing about the title situation and the stalkers and shit.
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah tell me about it, need a distraction and I need one bad.
Ashley grins devilishly.
Ashley Kenyon: You know what I would dearly love? If we had a job where we had to party some to fit in and then Bethy had to make something go boom at the end!
Jeszika Gautier: Yeah like the good old times.
Ashley Kenyon: That used to be the BEST when she did that trick at parties and woke up the neighbors.
While the smile on Ashley's face grows, the sadness on Jeszika’s deepens.
Jeszika Gautier: Things were happy back then. Everything was fine, I'd love to go back to being that happy, but too much has changed now...
Ashley Kenyon: Why can't we seem to find anything else to do?
Jeszika Gautier: Because it's all we know... we need to get out and try new things.
Ashley crosses her arms, almost pouting.
Ashley Kenyon: I wish they had never ruined the old things for us!
Jeszika Gautier: I wish I'd never decided to screw over Brody...
Ashley's eyes go wide.
Ashley Kenyon: You... what?
Jeszika Gautier: That's where my troubles started. You think about it. The depression started then.... when I went through with a plan to screw over a man I was falling for...
Ashley Kenyon: That's when you guys all thought I was the one with the problem...
Jeszika Gautier: We did?
Ashley nods.
Ashley Kenyon: Cause I wanted to go and hang with Billy...
Jeszika Gautier: And I was out getting fucked up to cover my pain...
She sighs.
Jeszika Gautier: Before him we were all happy...
Ashley Kenyon: And now?
Jeszika Gautier: Now I'm a little scared cause I have a stalker. I'm happy with Kris and Care but worried he'll get them next..
Ashley Kenyon: And you think the rest of us are all unhappy too?
Jeszika Gautier: I don't know what to think anymore…
Ashley leans over and hugs her.
Ashley Kenyon: How about we try playing the movie again and you try to stay awake this time?
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika Gautier: Sounds like a plan.
Ashley nods, hitting the button as the two settle in for the night.
Two hours after the movie ends, Jeszika has gone home and Ashley stands in front of her laptop, the webcam turned on. Ashley steps back, making sure it’s broadcasting as she does so.
Ashley Kenyon: So, here we sit, broken hearted…
She nods to the camera, moving her eyes to it from the screen below.
Ashley Kenyon: Defended my title and then somebody farted!
She pauses and glares into the camera.
Ashley Kenyon: On me!
She brings her hands up to her forehead, clasping them together and looking down at her feet. She nods some before moving her hands to the back of her head.
Ashley Kenyon: I have no problem with Tommy or Tedman. Nice guy, far as I know. The kind of guy I’d probably wanna party with the way he gets into damn near everything but that was bullshit and everybody knows it!
Her hands fire down to her sides.
Ashley Kenyon: I won that damn match but now the fact that I’m gonna have to prove that I’m the real fucking champion when I already did that at Tragic Engagement and I’m STILL the only other champion who had to defend after the pay-per-view…
Cocking her head to the left, Ashley shakes her head in stunned silence.
Ashley Kenyon: Those poseurs carrying the tag title belts haven’t had to do shit to call themselves the best in the world! Lacey defended against a goddamn rookie on her second match at the pay-per-view, turns around gets a non-title match against other champions, wins and this week she fights Tedman with nothing on the line again while I had to defend against what amounted to a tag team at Tragic Engagement for absolutely no reason and then turn around on the very next show and fight the guy that got fucked out of that tournament for the world title shot by just not getting booked and now I have to split MY championship with him because some blind fucking jackass in a striped shirt didn’t have the balls to just make a decision?
Looking down, she pounds her fist on her desk.
Ashley Kenyon: What the fuck do I need to do to get some goddamned respect? I’m not some hot-air balloon like Kyle Travis, screaming about stuff I supposedly did years and years ago, I’m talking about the here and now when I’m the UWA North American Champion and I’m the only person to hold two different championships here in this company and you’d think I was either some stupid little girl complaining about not getting the Ferrari for her Super Sweet Sixteen or some aged buffoon thinking what I did ten years ago means I’m still that guy today! I’m supposed to be the number two person in this fucking company that got there by winning the tag belts, then going through Vince Jones and taking everything Yo Man has to throw at me and coming out the victor before taking on two irish street fighters at once, apparently for the hell of it and still I’m treated like I’m just the other sister...
Stepping back, Ashley waves her arms emphatically.
Ashley Kenyon: So what is it gonna take?
She shrugs, waiting for an answer she knows is never coming.
Ashley Kenyon: Is it gonna take beating on Amy Zing and Artemis like drums just because they were put in front of me this show? Is it gonna take out flying the Hong Kong Sensation and outfighting the Huntress chick? Is it gonna take walking out there with my sister and doing what we do better than any other pair alive, no matter what lie Connor and Gabriel wanna tell each other while they jack off in the storage shed they call a home because the only thing that will have them even amongst each other is their own hands?
Pausing again, Ashley starts to look away but stops herself.
Ashley Kenyon: You know, I respect the hell out of Amy Zing. That woman catches more shit from certain people than anybody ever should and she always comes back for more with a smile on her face and a spring in her step and it will be a genuine pleasure to get in the ring with her again. Artemis, I don’t know at all and I have no idea if she’s good, bad, horrid, average or what but this type of match is what should have happened last week!
She shakes her head and looks away.
Ashley Kenyon: This is such… bullshit...
Ashley Kenyon: Jesus, Jezzy, it ain’t that scary!
Jeszika scans the area, suddenly realizing where she is and who she’s with.
Jeszika Gautier: But... I....
She shakes her head and says quietly to herself.
