Well, let's just get it out of the way, shall we?
Am I shocked AJ and I lost? No. Am I shocked that AJ is blaming me for anything? No. Am I shocked that Bliss is still telling herself that she's better than I am? No.
Those things are small. I can deal with a bad week. It sucked all around. I'm aware of that. But, you learn from a loss. You learn what works, and what doesn't work. You learn who you can and can't rely on. And obviously, I can't rely on AJ Stark. As evidence by challenging me to a Sin City title match at Ruthless Assault right before teaming up with me. I never asked AJ to stand alongside me and fight. I never asked for anyone to do so. But if you are, you need to pull your own weight, and and...you need to be down for the right cause. And clearly, AJ Stark is just out for himself. Whatever. The time for that is drawing near. I'll deal with that soon enough.
Trey Baxter. Ever the classy gentlemen aren't you. The fact is, you want, what I want, and that is the MPW, free of the AOA. I get that. And no, this isn't a plea for you to help me. I'm not asking for assistance, but the bottom line is now, you're just in the way. Now, you're just making this difficult. Much like AJ Stark, you have your own agenda. And that's fine. It simply means I cannot trust you to have my back.
Not that you would under any other circumstances anyway. Not like I did for you.
Yes Trey, when THE Tristan Slater was beating you down week after week, who came to your aid? Me. Not because I like you, or because I hated him, or anything to that effect. I did it because it was right. And despite all your vitriol that you will no doubt throw at me this week, I don't hate you. I don't even dislike you. Because even though you are selfish, even though you are a self-righteous prick, even though, you are a downright disrespectful and horrible human being...your dishonestly and evil is almost...honest.
This was the match that everyone was looking forward to, but it's in the wrong place at the wrong time. It means nothing. I beat you, the AOA wins. You beat me, the AOA wins too. There is nothing to gain from this Trey. Not a thing. It was something that was cooked up by the people in charge for the AOA's amusement. As if they don't have enough with Chris Cable running around.
Last week was a low point, no question about it Trey. Meanwhile, you've been on this fantastic little streak, beating the lesser opponents that you should. Good for you Trey. I'm happy for you finally coming back to what you should be. Because for a while there, it didn't look good.
You were taken out of the game, and you cam back to trumpet of fanfare, and then, reality set in, because there were more issues, bigger issues than just you. Just like Drake, you too crave the spotlight. Trust me, I know the old adage about wrestling is a solo sport. You either want the spotlight, or you never get in it. But you've had the spotlight before Trey, first world champion, way to go. Impressive feat no question. But being the first, does not make you the best. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Not now, not ever.
But now, that spotlight is gone, and Trey Baxter is desperate to get it back. Desperate to bask in it again. How does he do that? By beating Khaotic? Oh, wow. Beating AJ Stark? I'm shaking now. Your reputation may proceed you Trey, but it does not intimidate me. Nothing you can do or say will ever accomplish that. Oh, was that a lesbian joke in there? I imagine better high school insults because that certainly makes you look cool doesn't it?
How does the song go? "Now I'm that bitch?" Just another opponent that you will simply defeat because you're Trey Baxter and you are cool, right? I'm over it. I'm so tired of it, I'll sleep on it.
Trey, you and I will do battle, and regardless of who wins, it won't mean much in the long run. You know it, I know it. Whatever. This is only another small battle in a war that will rage for a long time. But unlike the old saying"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." That's out the window.
"The enemy of my enemy is my enemy?" That's more like it.
By the way, Heroes sucked. It's why it got cancelled.
[ Roxi and Zelda sit on a rooftop on a stakeout. ]
Sydney - So that's when I said to Mabel, I says...
[ Sydney stares at Roxi, who isn't really listening. ]
Sydney - Hello?! Anyone Home!?
Roxi - Hmmm? What?
Sydney - Were you listening to a word I said?
Roxi - I'm sorry.
Sydney - Great. Now I have to start all over again.
Roxi - Was this the story of you kicking a soccer ball in Mia Hamm's face?
Sydney - No. This was where I got into a fight with Michelle Kwan at the Ice rink.
Roxi - Oh.
Sydney - So anyway...
Roxi - Wait, why did you get into a fight with Michelle Kwan?
Sydney - Sue tried to tell me "irregardless" isn't a word.
Roxi - ....
Sydney - What?
Roxi - It isn't.
Sydney - Yes it is.
Roxi - It means the exact same thing as "regardless" It's a useless word.
Sydney - It's still a word.
Roxi - It's like saying "to-may-to" is the correct way to say "to-ma-to".
Sydney - Wait, you pronounce it "to-ma-to"?
Roxi - That's the way it is pronounced.
Sydney - No it isn't.
Roxi - Yes.
Sydney - No.
Roxi - Yes.
Sydney - No.
Roxi - Whatever. We're trying to do a stakeout here.
Sydney - Oh, now you want to focus on the task at hand.
Roxi - What? I've been concentrating the whole time on it.
Sydney - You are a liar. And a horse thief.
Roxi - Whatever.
Sydney - You mean to tell me that you've been watching this intently through my whole story?
Roxi - Yes.
Sydney - Lies. You were thinking about Ted.
Roxi - ...
Sydney - Besides, what are they doing anyway?
Roxi - They're just standing there, talking. That's what they were doing when you asked five minutes ago. So five minutes from now, when you ask me what they're doing, my answer will still be, they're still there, and they're still just talking!
[ A beat. ]
Sydney - What are they talking about?
Roxi -....Shut up, Z.
Sydney - That long huh?
Roxi - Is it that obvious?
Sydney - Oh yeah.
Roxi - I just wish he would call.
Sydney - Haven't you called?
Roxi - A bunch of times. His phone is off. I go by his place, he's never there.
[ Another beat. ]
Sydney - What if he left town? He could be flying. They always make you turn your stuff off when you get on a plane. Which I never understood by the way. What, is the plane going to down if ..
Roxi - Shh! Something's going on.
Sydney - ...I knew that.
[ Another car pulls up outside the stakeout spot. A heavy-set man gets out, and is greeted by the others and let inside. ]
Roxi - That's our boy, let's move.
Sydney - Wait, did I ever tell you about the time I survived a expedition where I was betrayed by my longtime friend who wanted fame and fortune?
Roxi - Z....That's Lara Croft.
[ Roxi hurries off ]
Sydney - Are you sure?
[ Moments later, the two superheroes kick in the front door. ]
Sydney - Alrighty boys, get ready for a spoonful of justice!
Roxi - Nice zinger.
Sydney - You think so?
Roxi - Yeah.
Sydney - I can do better. Watch Alight, we're about to enter fist city! population: You!
Roxi - ....
Sydney - What? No good?
Roxi - That was awful.
Sydney - You're awful.
Roxi - You're a towel!
Sydney - You're a towel!
Fat man - Enough!
[ Roxi and Sydney stop arguing as the men point their guns at them. ]
Roxi - She started it.
Sydney - Did not!
Fat man - Enough I said. Now, maybe you two want to help me out here...who are you, and what are you doing here?
Roxi - We're here to stop you.
Sydney - Yes.
Fat man - Oh, well then, I guess we should surrender.
Roxi - That would be preferable. Geez, you know, you guys get a bad rap, you know that? Most criminals would be all like...
Fat man - Kill them!
Roxi - Yeah, that. And...uh-oh.
[ The bullets fly as Roxi and Sydney duck behind crates to avoid being shot. ]
Sydney - That went better than I thought it would.
Roxi - I know right?
Sydney - So, any bright ideas?
Roxi - I'm thinking.
Sydney - I'm all ears.
[ Suddenly, Roxi's belt begins to vibrate. ]
Roxi - Hmmm?
Sydney - What is that?
Roxi - My phone!
Sydney - You brought your phone?
Roxi - What of it?!
[ Roxi checks the number ]
Roxi - It's Ted!
Sydney - Great timing.
[ She answers the phone. ]
Roxi - Hello?....Hi Ted! I was worried about you....yeah...no, no, me and Sydney are just watching a movie that's all. It's just the surround system....Oh yeah, typical girls night...what?
[ A bullet whizzes by Roxi's head. ]
Roxi - Holy...No, no, this action scene is just intense. You...you want to talk to me? ...Well, I'm right here...
Sydney - You think you could wrap that up please!
Roxi - Okay, well...I'll meet up with you later...I missed you...Soon you soon...
[ Roxi hangs up her phone. ]
Roxi - He wants to talk to me later!
Sydney - I know, can you beat the bad guys please!
Roxi - Oh yeah!
[ The men finally stop to reload, and then they attack.
Cut to a short time later, when all the bad guys have been rounded up. Roxi and Sydney are back on the rooftop. ]
Sydney - He picked a heck of a time to call.
Roxi - But he called! I'm so happy. I've got to meet up with him now.
Sydney - Wonderful.
Roxi -...
Sydney - What?
Roxi - I think somebody's jelly!
Sydney - I...I am not!
Roxi - Uh-huh.
Sydney - Am not! It was just that you turn into a little school girl when he calls. You're smitten with this guy.
Roxi - I am not smut.
Sydney - You are too.
Roxi - You know what, I don't need this. I am going to see MY Boyfriend.
[ Roxi turns and swings away.]
Sydney - Oh...suck it. [imitating Roxi:] I'm going to see MY boyfriend, look at me, I'm Roxi Johnson, I'm like a 16 year old girl...
[ Later, at Ted's apartment. ]
Ted - Thanks for coming.
Roxi - Thanks for inviting me.
Ted - I...I guess I should get right to the point, but I guess I should apologize.
Roxi - You did kinda leave me hanging out there.
Ted - I know. I shouldn't have done that.
Roxi - You didn't return my calls. What the heck happened?
Ted - I....I needed some space.
Roxi - Space? We went on three dates, we only just had sex two weeks ago!
Ted - I know. It's just that...I've been hurt before. I just needed to make sure that I made the right choice.
Roxi - What are you talking about?
Ted - See, when you came back, when you came over here tonight. It cemented the idea in my head.
Roxi - Where is this going?
Ted - Roxi, I've never done this before, but I need to just go ahead and come out with it.
Roxi - ....
Ted - I love you.
Roxi - *gasp* L..L...Love?
Ted - Yes. I'm madly in love with you, and...I've been away because I was thinking about something.
Roxi - W...what?
[ Ted gets down on one knee. ]
Ted - Roxi...
Roxi -OHMIGODOHMIGOD!
Ted - Will you Marry me?
