We find Skylar, a camera set up before her, her black locks falling around her face. Her body is wrapped in a metal shirt and black ripped jeans.
"They say its a good thing to have friends and Allies at your back, supporting you when you need it. Now Amy Zing, you seem to think me you and our other opponent can be friends once this is all over? Possible I guess... But know this Amy, I don't trust easy, so you'll need to prove to me why I should let you be my friend before I let you in. Same goes for Bethany."
She pauses, looking away for a second.
"There's not much I can really say about you Amy, you say I'm strong woman and all that... All I can see about you is that you are an all around good girl, nice personality, kind, caring, happy.... All good things and all, if you wanted to work in retail, you'll soon understands Amy that being in this business, being nice can get you walk over, hurt and broken. Somewhere in your heart there needs to be hardened area, to help you deal with whatever is thrown your way."
Her gaze darkens and a smirk grows on her face.
"It also helps to have the ability to do anything, and not be afraid. The ability to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Even if it means hurting another poor innocent soul and crushing her dreams in the process."
She looks mockingly at the camera.
“You have dreams don't you Amy? Dreams to win this match? Dreams to 'do your best' against me and Bethany?"
She laughs.
"Doing you best only gets you so far, so bring your all Amy cos I sure as hell will. You're talking to a woman who has been to hell and back. You're nothing compared to what I've already conquered just to get here"
She pauses, running her hand through her hair, pulling it away from her face.
"Same goes for you Bethany. Though it seems you're a bit like me. You've taken hits and you still just keep on fighting. Though I do sense a small touch of gullibility there. I mean your best friend turned her back on you, for a guy! And tore into you like a dog with a steak and still you took her back? Now is that loyalty or stupidity? Who's to say she won't do it again? Get drunk and hate on you all, will you take her back twice after she crushed you? Will you get back up and fight her? Not give up? Not let yourself be taken for granted?"
She shakes her head.
"Sad part is, I know you will. KISS.... Loyalty to the end right? I hope for your sake, that your loyalty isn't misplaced."
She pauses looking down for a second
"I know you've had a lot of success here in UWA Bethany, you are the legit threat in this match. I know with you I'll need all my wits, strength and cunning. Which is good, I do like a challenge Miss Kenyon. That I do...."
She smirks again.
"Oh and Bethany, don't get any ideas to bringing your little friends along to the party.... Just remember, I got a few friends here of my own. See you both out there"
She blows a kiss at the camera before it shuts off and leaves us looking at a blank screen. As the scene fades back in, we see the same scene from a real life view. Skylar seated on the edge of her bed in her apartment and Sin manning the camera. Skylar turns to sin with a grin
Skylar: How'd I do?
Sin: Pretty cool, Sis!
Skylar: You don’t think I was too nasty do you?
Sin: Considering what some others say?
Skylar: Good point...
She smiles.
Skylar: So, are you ready for your date?
Sin: So much so, you wouldn't believe! And you should just get yourself laid while we're at it here!
Skylar playfully slaps her arm.
Skylar: Sin!
Sin: Tell me you don't wanna!
Skylar looks away blushing.
Skylar: I can't.... That would be a lie...
Sin: SEE!
Skylar: Oh shush you! Just cause I want to, doesn't mean I have to!
Before Sin can answer, there's a knock on the door.
Skylar: And that would be our boys now.
She opens the door and within a minute, Sin and Rocket make their way out. Skylar shuts the door after seeing them off then turns to face him, a little sheepishly.
Skylar: So I guess its just us now... whole place to ourselves for the night.
Craven: Don't sound excited or nothing...
Skylar: I am excited, I truly am. its just.... been so long since I've had... You know...
She points between them.
Skylar: This...
Craven nods slowly.
Craven: Yeah... been a while.
Skylar: Eight years... And I haven't even had a relationship with anyone since... Nothing but passing faces night in and night out.
Craven: Me either... unless you count party favors as a relationship.
Skylar: So... You probably already know, I want nothing more than everything to go back to exactly how it was before... Just us... Just love... But you know my line of work and all that that entails, plus... Can we really be exactly how were were before, knowing what I do night in and night out?
Craven nods.
Craven: I've always wanted you back.
She looks over at him.
Skylar: Even if I'm selling my body to other men every night?
Craven shrugs. Craven: Well, it's not quite EVERY night...
Skylar: Well... it still happens. Other men take me, more than a few times a week... Does that not bother you?
Craven: Do you want it to bother me?
SKylar shakes her head.
Skylar: I just want to know how to feel thats all... To make sure you're willing to have me, exactly as I am now, and that you won't be trying to change me a few months down the track.
Craven: I don't really know how to feel about it really.
Skylar: Would you want me to stop?
Craven shakes his head.
Craven: I'm not about to tell you what to do, Sky.
She nods.
Skylar: Ok... I hopefully wont have to do it much soon anyways, now I know I have a steady income from wrestling. Between that and my singing... I shouldn't have to do that much, plus I'm still living off the ten grand Pauly gave me
Craven: At least here it's regulated and they have to take care of you.
Skylar: Yeah I got Frase and Baron watching out for me, I feel safe for sure.
Craven: I think you might wanna hold on to that a little longer, Sky. You actually get looked after, you get health care screenings and UWA isn't exactly a huge company paying big money yet.
Skylar: That’s true, it isn't yet
Craven: Which place are they coming back to tonight?
Skylar: I can text and find out, hang on.
She pulls out her phone and sends off a text to Sin. The reply is fast. She stifles a laugh at the reply
Craven: Are they coming back here, going to the apartment, going to my place or getting a room?
Skylar: They're going back to your house, says that we deserve some time alone... in fact she insists we... Bonk like rabbits all night in their absence.
She laughs.
Craven: Spose she just told us what they'll be doing then, didn't she?
Skylar: Yeah I guess she did. Damn... Teenagers huh? Remember those days... We were just the same weren't we?
Craven: We were kinda like that like... last week.
She laughs.
Skylar: That we were, for one night... This is like their... third night this week isn’t it?
Craven: Well, it is their first... week of being actually together.
Skylar: Exactly, and we were the same back then... remember.
Craven nods.
Craven: Yeah... it got you in trouble...
She nods sadly.
Skylar: More than once I got in trouble for spending the night with you... But the last time...
She looks away as a tear forms in her eyes.
She: The last time was the worst...
Craven quickly moves to take her into his arms.
Craven: Heeeeey... it's ok, Sky... you never have to worry about that ever again.
Skylar: I know... but the memory is still there... How he took me...
She shakes her head.
Skylar: I just wish the memories would go away...
Craven: Does anything help?
Skylar: My kit... Bring me my kit... Some things in there help. but they memories never fully go away, just become more manageable
Craven nods slowly. A minute later, the case sits before them. She looks down at the case laid open in front of her, picking out a few things and downing then with her can of coke from the table.
Skylar: Hopefully, that helps, at least a little...
She looks up at him.
Skylar: Thank you, Rick
He nods.
Craven: It still messes with me too.
Skylar: Look at us both... Fucked up, by the actions of one asshole!
She hands clench into fists, even thinking of him made her so angry, she could hit something.
Skylar: I wish he was still here now, so I could castrate him with a spoon for force feed him his own dick!!
Craven: Wish I'd thought of that.
Skylar: What you did to him worked, he's still out of my life, and that’s what matters.
Craven: I still wake up with that in my ears some nights...
Skylar: Me too... I wake up screaming sometimes too. Sin's gotten used to comforting me when that happens, I swear sometimes she's the mother and I'm the child....
He nods slowly.
Craven: Rocket freaked the first time.
Skylar: So did Sin, she thought someone was trying to hurt me.
Craven: He thought I was overdosing.
Skylar: I don't know where I'd be without Sin... How I would have coped... Those first few years when I was on my own was hard...
Craven: You should have seen the look on his face when i played him just a little piece of that tape...
He shakes his head.
Craven: I felt like such an asshole... the poor kid got physically ill...
Skylar: He's a good kid that Rocket, as are you Rick. You're not an asshole, you never have been.
Craven: No but... to let a sixteen year old hear any of that...
Skylar nods a little.
Skylar: You did what you felt you needed to. You didn’t intend to hurt him...
Craven: No, he'd been asking me what could possibly make me...
He pauses, taking a deep breath.
Craven: I'd have the same nightmare every time. I'd hear you screaming... and I'd run to try and save you and just never manage to get there and then I'd turn the corner and suddenly I'm in that alley with him again...
Skylar: I would just re-live that night, over and over again... sometimes worse too...
He nods slowly, tears starting up.
Craven: I am so.... sorry...
Skylar hugs him.
Skylar: It’s not your fault, Rick... YOU did nothing wrong!
He nods frantically, weeping openly.
Craven: I should have stopped him... I should have not let you go home... I should have done... something....
Skylar: You didn’t know he was going to do that... neither of us could have known
Craven: But... he... I... should have been able to keep you safe,...
Skylar: You did everything you could Rick...
Craven: For so long, I couldn't get that sound out of my head... the sound that belt made and what came after...
Skylar: Me neither....
Her own lip quivers, as tears threaten.
Craven: It scared me afterwards... being able to...
Skylar frowns.
Skylar: Being able to... What?
Craven swallows hard.
Craven: Killing him.
Skylar: You did what you had to... I would have done the same if the situations were reversed.
Craven: He begged me and I didn't care... and then I felt myself enjoying it and almost threw up on him...
Skylar: I'd be worried if you didn’t feel that way
Craven: I never told Rocket about that. He knows the guy is dead but not the details.
Skylar: Will you ever tell him?
Craven shrugs.
Craven: How do you tell somebody that?
Skylar: Good point.
Craven: So... what DO you wanna do tonight?
Skylar shrugs.
Skylar: We could watch a movie or something? Play some games on the PS3. I'm down for anything really.
Craven: Whatever you wanna do, Sky.
Skylar: You got any games you like? That we could play together? I got a wee touch of a collection building since I moved here
Craven: Surprise me?
Skylar walks over the the TV in the corner and crouches down.
Skylar: Well we have Mortal Kombat, Sonic, DC vs Mortal Kombat, Rayman M...
Craven: Noticing a pattern with the Kombat there
Skylar: Like I said, collection is growing... And I love fighting games. Me and Sin play together a lot in our spare time.
Craven: Pick one and let's rumble.
Skyler: OK, Mortal Kombat it is...
She smiles.
Skylar: Just so you know, I'm totally gonna kick you ass
She pokes her tongue out at him playfully
Craven: Just keep telling yourself that.
She turns the machine on and sits down, controller in hand, holding out the other one to him, and patting the couch next to her.
Skylar: Prepare to meet your maker, Mr. Craven.
Craven: let's do this, Miss Hansen.
A few minutes later they are playing, Craven as Scorpion, Skylar as Kitana. Its a tough fight, but after an underhanded move she beats him. She looks over at him grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Skylar: I told you didn't I? I told you!
"They say its a good thing to have friends and Allies at your back, supporting you when you need it. Now Amy Zing, you seem to think me you and our other opponent can be friends once this is all over? Possible I guess...
