<Backstage of TNT>
<Gabe is sitting alone on a training table lag wrapped. A Trainer walks in from a side room with a clipboard.>
Trainer: Well everything clears out on your leg Gabe, basically just a contusion to your left thigh and a deep thromboses to you calf muscles.
Gabe: So basically its just really black and blue and should hurt for a couple days.
Trainer: Sounds like you know your bruising terminology, but yes, Rest recoup it for the next 2 days or so and then light work starting on Monday, it will be stiff and my ache a little but you should be fine by next week. Use these crutches tonight but you should be good to walk tomorrow.
Gabe: That is a relief Mac, I have barely started my career cant have someone like Ian already force sick days.
Trainer: I watched the match, you two really worked it out there and gave a great show.
Gabe: Thanks, I'd like to think, best match of the night. <Gabe gives a smile> But I will leave that to the fans to decide.
Trainer: Best Decision that I can think of...
<Gabe gets up grabs a pair of crutches and walks slowly out as the scene fades>
<Scene opens with Gabe sitting up slowly in bed. He is still wearing the clothes from the night before. His hair is disheveled and he looks like death rolled over>
Gabe: ugh.... What a party. Those girls really know how to celebrate after a win, it truly was a blast celebrating with the MPW crew away from the drama and crud at least for a few hours. But I haven't had a Raver like that since my sophomore year, but what foggy memories.
<Gabe looks over at his phone and notices there is a message, both text and voice mail.>
Gabe: Lets see whose message I've missed. <Gabe reviews his messages and notices there are quite a few. As he reads a look of shock, a little fear and finally rests on happiness crosses his face. He jumps up and begins cleaning his hotel room and getting some clothes out. He then dials a number on his phone.>
Gabe: Hello Angel? Hey its Gabe, yea I am sorry I was kind of out late last night celebrating. What...Yea I did I won my match last night so I am officially 1-0 on air. What you watched it? Awesome, yea my leg is OK just bruised. hmmhmm, yea, OK, You're where? Wait, what time is it? ...Really, ... wow that's um a bit of a surprise, Yea, No, ah ...remember Winter break Sophomore year.... Yea, just like that, ...so forgive me? ..... Great I will come by the airport in about 20 and we can catch up and you can fill me in on why your coming to visit me out on the road...
<Scene fades as Gabe hangs up the phone>
<Scene opens with Gabe a a red haired young woman at a dinner table out at a nice restaurant. The plates empty hint that dinner is over.>
Gabe: Angel it is awesome you came out to see me. I am a bit surprised though...
Angel: Yea I know. But you are making it and you know what kind of wrestling junkie I am. I used to go to all the old venues as a kid. Gabe: True, well I appreciate the support. How is whats his name that engineering major you are dating.
Angel: Don't know we broke up about a month ago so Chris is history. But thanks for asking.
Gabe: Wha? You two were good together, I thought you and him were good together.
Angel: It doesn't matter, we aren't any good anymore. Its no big deal, it allowed me the freedom to come see one of my besties from college.
Gabe: <Chuckles> Bestie... like I ever did your hair or makeup.
Angel: <laughing) True you aren't very good at color coordinating. Good thing everything goes with blue jeans.
Gabe: Hey now. Be nice.
Angel: Nah, wheres the fun in that. <She smiles> Anyways, I suppose you want to know why I came out to see you.?
Gabe: Yea, I mean I am flattered but coming out while I'm on the road is a bit odd.
Angel: Well here is the thing... You know I've always been a fan of this business, and I never saw myself of having any opportunity around professional wrestling...
Gabe: <looks skeptical> go on...
Angel: Well like I said I have always wanted to break into the pro wrestling but never knew anyone that was anywhere in it to help me until you got in at MPW. So I was wondering, would you teach me?
Gabe: Teach you? I'd love to but goodness I barely have time to train myself let alone bring someone up to speed.
Angel: You know I will work my ass off, you know what I will do when I commit, please can you help me.
Gabe: I don't know its going to be tough and I'm just now learning the ropes myself.
Angel: Look, you know I will work. How about I just travel with you and train for 3 months, if I cant cut that part you can let me know. I could be your manager for awhile. I don't need to wrestle right away, I just want a shot at the business right now... Please.
Gabe: Hrm.. I guess that could work. And it would be cool to have a traveling buddy, and well I could use a roomie as I move out to Vegas... Sure, under the condition that I get approval from MPW and you find some thing o earn some money part time to help pay your way. I have some stored up and my contracts not all that great yet.
Angel: Oh thank you thank you thank you... You will not be sorry.
Gabe: OK no problem. Now tomorrow we are supposed to meet up with Emi Yammamoto at some roller skating event thing so lets go crash and see what she has planned. Then the next day I need to record my promo for my Hardcore match against TJ Paine.
Angel: That's great. How do you feel about that match?
Gabe: Oh against Pain,,, Not to worried. Well I will rephrase that, if it was just Pain I wouldn't be to worried. He has proven he has to cheat to win the past few weeks and that bunch hasn't done a good job at even that. Now the type of match will allow Pain to do whatever he wants and get away because there is nothing considered cheating. He has talent, and skill, but he tends to be sloppy, to loose. That I think will be his downfall. He has talent but isn't disciplined enough to see it through to the end.
Angel: But how much discipline do you need to use a chair, or bat, or trashcan or..
Gabe: I get the point Angel, and yea that's what I am saying, those give him an advantage because its his kind of fight. If it was straight up wrestling skills, no contest I'd pin or have him tap, but this match, I have to be ready for anything. Plus he will have his wife out with him, and she scares the hell out of me, kinda like the hillbillies from deliverance.
Angel: hehe, that's mean.
Gabe: Mean but true, but its not her I'm wrestling its TJ, Its going to be a new experience going that direction, but hey gotta feel good that its a #1 contenders match right?
Angel: Yea that's a big accomplishment already that they see you as a true talent. I got a feeling you are going to go far and I plan to ride your coat tails as far as I can. <She smiles>
Gabe: Ride my coat tails? You mean work your ass off."
Angel: potato Patato...
<Scene ends with a close up of Angel, big smile as her green eyes sparkle with happiness)
<Scene opens inside a skate rink. Gabe and Angel enter looking a bit confused.>
Gabe: Emi said to meet her here but not sure where she is.
Angel: Its OK, I am just exited to meet your new friends in MPW.
Gabe: Now Emi is a trip but odd things always seem to happen when she is around.
Angel: Odd? How So?
Gabe: Like Power Rangers, Anime weird, its like she is followed by a bunch of Cos Play rabid fans or something. <Gabe gives a light laugh> But its all good, there is no one like Emi and I for one am glad she is my friend.
<Just then Emi slides to the railing of the skate rink and waves to Gabe and Angel. He dark hair only slightly disheveled from the wind created by her speed on skates.>
Emi: Hey you and your friend. Go grab some skates its already set up for you. Its skate time.
<Emi dashes off the boards and resumes skating in the wide circle that the other patrons follow. She then precedes to move in an intricate pattern flowing from spin to spin highlighting her grace and agility.>
Gabe: Huh, did know she could skate like that.
Angel: Didn't know anyone could roller skate like that. <Angel gives a bright laugh as the two of them go and procure their skates and begin to put them on.>
Gabe: Huh... Look at that.
Angel: What?
<Gabe points out 5 oddly looking skaters, somewhat ashen and Grey they seem to appear out of nowhere yet the oddity makes them seem like they have always been there just slightly out of focus and out of view. The figures begin a beeline straight at Emi as they have no concern for the crowd and just bowl into her knocking her down and sliding her to the boards near Gabe and Angel>
Gabe: Are you OK? < he and Angle roll quickly over having just finished getting their skates on.>
Emi: yea, those bullies. Kenji is out there alone now we gotta go stop those claymation bullies.
<Gabe and Angle Shrug as they mouth "Claymation">
Gabe: Sure thing we got your back. To bad Cami isn't here, where is She?
Emi: I know Super Shiny Tiger Twins is at Half power today so you two will need to fill in, she had something with Trey said she would be by later.
Gabe: OK lets go.
<The three of them push off into the skate rink as the Claymation
bullies are pushing people around and laughing and causing a ruckus. Gabe Angle and Emi lock hands as they chase down the Claymations and execute a perfect slingshot maneuver Gabe swing Angel who swing Emi building speed and power. Emi launches from the ground as she leaps into the claymations bowling them over. Landing gracefully as the claymations fall awkwardly, Emi raises her Tiger pendant and utters "Super Shiny Tiger Twin Powers Go. There is a flash of light and the 5 claymations shimmer and disappear. Gabe and Angel slow to a stop mouths agape looking at Emi, just then Kenji skates up with an ICEE.>
Gabe & Angel: That was awesome!!
Angel: Now I know what Gabe meant Emi it truly was a great time.
Kenji: What did I miss, Oh Emi, I got you an ICEE.
<Emi, Gabe and Angel begin laughing as the scene fades.>
