*The scene opens. October 31st.
It's 5 am by the time Aeryn Ashfield puts the key in the door of her Chicago home and closes the door behind her. Dropping her bags where she stands, she makes her way wearily down the hallway and through to the living room immediately dropping face down on to the couch, it's soft cushions instantly enveloping her tired body as she lazily kicks off her boots and relaxes, closing her eyes she easily drifts off into much needed sleep...*
...: Hey girl, you awake?
*Aeryn stirs. Opening a bleary eye in the direction of the voice.*
Aeryn: No...
*She feels the edge of the cushion sink, then her legs lifted and placed back down across the persons lap.*
...: Come on, it's 11 o'clock time to get up and tell me all about your trip?
*Groaning she lazily rolls herself over on to her back looking down the length of the couch at her room mate, a confused expression on her face.*
Aeryn: 11 o'clock? *she rubs her eyes* fuck...I just closed my eyes a second ago.
...: And now their open...so come on tell me what you've been doing?! Apart from going AWOL these past few weeks?
Aeryn: *Propping her head up on a cushion she smirks*...I haven't been AWOL Rue...
Rue: You don't call, you don't email...I know you're always jet setting somewhere, but a call to know you're alive would be nice ....
Aeryn: *Laughing, she pushes at the other woman's leg with her foot*...aright mum, I'm sorry for not checking in. I have been busy... very busy! Recovering from a few injuries and kicking arse, usually at the same time, if you must know. It's been a...*She pauses, searching for the correct word*....It's been an interesting few weeks...
*Rue looks at her friend a concerned look crossing her face.*
Rue: You were injured? What happened?
Aeryn: Just took a few to many knocks to the head and got a small...a VERY small concussion....*Aeryn keeps talking, heading off her friends next interjection*.... I'm fine Rue, really, Soul took me back to his place in Boston and took care of me.
*Rue raises an eyebrow, a grin playing on her lips.*
Rue: Yeah, I bet he did...
*Aeryn blushes a little and laughs*
Aeryn: Not like that...he's a gentleman. He wanted to make sure I followed the doctors orders...
Rue: He's met your stubborn streak then...
Aeryn: ...Shut up....as I was saying. He wanted to make sure I followed the doctors orders so that I was fit for our title shot the next week...
Rue: and?!..
Aeryn: And your now looking at one half of the new MPW tag team champions!
*Rue sequels with excitement and slaps Aeryn on the leg causing her to grimace in pain.*
Aeryn: Ooo...still a little bruised there...like I don't get smacked around enough. *she smirks.*
Rue: *Holding her hands up.* Sorry!...
*Aeryn waves off the apology and rubs at her leg.*
Rue: How did you get that one?
Aeryn: Submission? Weapon?....I honestly can't tell you. It was anything goes, and honey, we went! I'm surprised we could walk out of there when it was done. Soul had his nose busted, I came off slightly worse but it was worth it...and with a week of rest and relaxation afterward's, I have nothing to complain about. I'm almost as good as new.
Rue: A week off huh?...
Aeryn: *closes her eyes, placing her arm across in an attempt to block out the light.* Mmm hum...Me and Soul hung out in Canada for a couple days.
Rue: Must be some guy to keep you from jumping on the first plane home...*She smiles down at Aeryn and gets up, carefully replacing her legs on the seat.*
Aeryn: *Smiling sleepily* He is...
*Later that evening*
Rue: Aeryn, are you ready yet? we' ve got to go!
Aeryn: Relax...the parties not going anywhere. I'll be down in a minute...
*Inside Aeryn Ashfields bedroom she is getting herself ready. Her Halloween costume hangs wrapped from a hook on the back of her closed door as she sits at her dressing table applying the finishing touches to her make-up. Only a small portion of her face can be seen in the mirror, as the low level lighting of the room casts soft shadow which masks the rest of her features.*
Aeryn: Its been a long time since i've done this, got excited over Halloween. I mean why should i? With the job i do, i get to dress up everyday in a different costume, wearing a different mask to suit each week in order to confront the inexhaustible line up of the scary, the vile and the violent. The life of the wrestler is just one long Halloween parade and as such we get to play a lot of that other Halloween tradition...trick or treat...
*Pausing for a moment she picks up a tube of lip stick from the dressing table. Unfastening the top, she slowly draws it across, her lips turning a deep shade of red its wake.*
Aeryn: Now being the wiley veteran that i am it hasn't taken me long to get to those coverted treats. Singally, i have won the right to challenge for the biggest prize in the MPW by winning the Roll of the Dice breifcase, and in just the past couple of weeks, Soul Shadow and I, Phoenix Rising, claimed tag team gold from the hands of Iconic Aggression.
* She pauses once more as she applies make up to her eyes. A dark smoldering gaze looks back at her in the reflection of the mirror.*
Aeryn: Two months this has taken me to accomplish. Eleven matches of sweat, blood and determination to get in to the upper echelons of the MPW, to get to those sweet treats. But you alread know this, so why am i telling you?
*A glimps of black lace is seen as Aeryn gets up off of the chair she has been sitting on. Crossing the room the sound of rustling is heard as she unwraps her costume for the evening. She continues speaking.*
Aeryn: I tell you, because this week my self and Soul face the person ultimately responsible for Phoenix Rising, the spark that drove us on to our current path...Jason X. Jason, without us getting dragged into your title fued and you subsequently knocking out Soul all of this may never have happened. If you had just managed to control your self for one evening, made the effort and been a team player, this match could have been avoided. Soul and myself would have gone back to pursue our singles careers and you wouldn't be facing the best tag team in the MPW right now.
Talk about trick or treat...you managed to master mind your own downfall a month in advance! Thats some trick!
You will lose this one Jason. If not just for the fact that your appropriately named partner, Zero, has made that exact number of appearances in the MPW since September. But that, that dysfunctional tag team that you walked away from in September has transformed into the most cohesive units you could imagine! The Damned could'nt stop us. Iconic Agression failed to break us and come Reloaded you and Zero will mearly become the latest to be shot down in flames by Phoenix Rising.
Rue: Aeryn, come on!
*Aeryn smiles at the apparent agitation in Rues voice as it carrys up the stairs. She waits a few more seconds making the last minute adjustments to her costume before making her way out the door. Decening the stairs she catches sight of her friend waiting impatiently by the door.*
Aeryn: What the fuck have you come as? Miss Whiplash? *She smiles*
Rue: Im Catwoman *Turning to look at her* ...actually....*A confused expression crosses her face*...Why are you in your regular clothes? Wheres your costume, your supposed to be a devil?
Aeryn: Rue, im in someone elses costume for the entire year. Tonight, Im dressed in the only costume I never get to wear. The real Aeryn Ashfield.
Rue: I'll never understand you.
Aeryn:*Laughing she walking up to her friend putting an arm around her shoulder* Good, that would make me boring *Opening the door they step out on to the street*...and honey you should already know that i dont need a costume…i'm already a little devil.
*Laughter can be heard as the door closes and the scene fades.*
