*The scene opens. It is a few days before Christmas. At home in Chicago, Aeryn and her room mate Rue are busy putting the finishing touches to the decorations adorning the living room of their home. The open fire place is popping and crackling as Rue throws another log in, giving it a few tentative prods with the poker as she momentarily mesmerized by the dancing orange flames. She looks around as Aeryn passes her, giving her a nudge.*
Aeryn: Here something to ward of the winter chills.... *she passes her a glass*...
*Rue, taking the glass from her and examining the warm liquid inside with a cautionary sniff* ... Mmm... mulled wine, thank you. So that's what you've spent all this time in the kitchen doing.
*Aeryn smiles*
Aeryn: Well i can do things other than beat people up...
Rue: So multi talented Miss Ashfield ...
Aeryn: Oh so very ... *she laughs* ... Now come on and help me finish these decorations off, my parents will be here soon.
*Both women take a good sip of the warm spiced wine and set there glasses down on the table as they make there way towards the currently sparsely decorated tree. Picking up a set of lights, Rue begins to wind them around the tree as Aeryn follows her, tucking the strands declaratively between the branches.*
Rue: So what did that lovely partner of yours give you for Christmas?
Aeryn: I have a gjft, and these... *she pulls a chain around her neck upwards, lifting three keys from her top*
*A confused look on her face* Rue: Well ... that certainly is an original necklace.
Aeryn: Its house keys Rue...
Rue: He bought you a house?!
Aeryn: ... They're keys to his house, in Boston. *she closes her fingers tightly around the keys*
Rue: ... Oh... right...
*Aeryn catches the look on her friends face.*
Aeryn: Don't worry, I'm not going any where, so you can lose the face. ... *she smirks at her friend* ... He's just opening his home to me, which is a huge step for him... I feel very privileged. The perfect gift.
Rue: I'm happy for you sweetheart. ..*she places her hand on Aeryns shoulder and gives a squeeze.* ... look at you, with your three homes now. "Aeryn Ashfield..London..Chicago..Boston" *Her hands up punctuating each location as she says them. Both women laughing*
Aeryn: I should be branded..
Rue: So i take it he was alright about what happened on Reloaded then, if he gave you the keys to his house.
*Flashback to Reloaded*
*... Thomas Simon: Kurt Newman and Aeryn Ashfield have been counted out...but seemingly aren't done Richie!
Richie Rhodes: Hell no their not done Thomas! These two are athletes, fierce competitors! And bitter rivals, neither one is going to give the other any room to claim the upper hand.
Thomas Simon: Newman head first into the guard rail! ...
Richie Rhodes: Aeryn is bearing down on him, shes finally going to get some pay back ....WAIT! Christian Carter from no where nails Ashfield with the Awesome title!
Thomas Simon: Shes down Rhodes, these two jackles are going to double team the the tag team champion!
Richie Rhodes: ... Look, at the ramp its Johnny Clash! ... Newman and Carter are high tailing it, they want nothing to do with Clash and the resistance.*
*As Johnny reaches Aeryn he clasps her by the back of the neck and hand, helping her up from the arena floor checking on her as she gets to her feet. She utters her thanks as Clash raises her hand to the fans who cheer their approval.*
*Backstage*
Johnny Clash: Are you sure you're ok?
Aeryn: I'm fine thanks to you, they didn't touch me.
* The two friends hug. Over Johns shoulder Aeryn sees Chrissy Starr, her face expressionless but her eyes starring daggers towards the two. Aeryn gives her a bemused look.*
Aeryn: I owe you one. *They break the hug*
Johnny Clash: Take it easy, eh.
*Aeryn smiles*
Aeryn: You know me Clash, I'll take it any way i can get it... *the laugh*...I'll see you later *She pats him on the shoulder as she walks off.*
....................
Aeryn: Soul? Of course he's fine... nothing happened on Reloaded for him to worry about.
Rue: Really? Seemed to me Johnny Clash has made a few saves for you and on your behalf, not only on Reloaded but in the recent past to...are you sure he doesn't want more than a pat on the back in return?
Aeryn: *snorts in amusement*... Shut up. Me and Clash have a history but nothing like that. Friends nothing more, you got it.
*Rue holds her hands up*
Rue: Got it loud and clear... Though that other woman Chrissy, she didn't seem to like it to much.
Aeryn: Shes not said anything to me, she understands surely ... he's just a good friend ... if she has an issue, she can come and talk to me about it.
Rue: She didn't loom like she was in a talking mood when you were hugging her guy... *She catches look the stormy look looming on Aeryns features and knows to push the issue no further. The two women continue to decorate the rest of the tree. The only sound to be heard is the crackling of the fire in the hearth*
.................
*December 29th. The Philips Arena - Atlanta Georgia. A few hours before Uncivil War.*
*Aeryn Ashfield is sat alone in the Phillips Arena. Her tag team partner Soul Shadow gone, in order to receive some treatment to a nagging injury before the match, leaves her with some time to gather her thoughts.*
Aeryn: Uncivil War. What a beautifully appropriate name for a pay per view. A place where feuds are finally settled in front of the biggest audience possible. Much like the Romans used to gather in their thousands in the colosseums to watch the gladiators fight, so the MPW audience gathers to watch four of its own elite gladiators, four champions take on four pretenders to the respective thrones. As tonight we play War Games.
A team of champions. Let that sink in for a moment.... four of the five champions that the MPW has will all be standing shoulder to shoulder in the same corner of the ring.... four champions that all seem to have one common problem. Kurt Newman. Not to say that the rest of that team hasn't been causing trouble when ever possible, but Kurt you really are the tie that binds. You've managed to interfere with and piss off the entire Resistance stable and Pheonix Rising. That really is impressive, how does one man manage to make so many high profile enemies all at once?! I really do hope you liked the taste of four boots super kicking your teeth down your throat last week, because if you try to pull any of your tricks tonight and come at any of us with the "Awesome" title, you'll be leaving with a lot more than a sore jaw and that jizz covered belt.
A more pressing concern is Pheonix Risings most recent tag team opponents. Jason X and Chris Cable. Boys you came for us and you beat us...once. You are correct Jason if the titles had been on the line you would be standing in this ring now as champion, and would have every right to call us weak, undeserving, fake champions unworthy of the titles. But they weren't, you aren't and your dead wrong!
If i need to remind you both...again, we have only lost to you once. One time. We have beat you previously in tag team competition and singles and weather you like to face facts or not two weeks ago was the only time that you have been good enough to get the job done. The same i am afraid will happen tonight. You have lost to everyone on our team even as recently as a week ago and you still throw around your threats and your insults like they mean something, they mean nothing. They haven't meant anything since Taufik beat you for your Tv title. But please do come and test us tonight if you still think that we cant stand the pace and duty of being champions in this great company, and we will give you a personal demonstration of what we did to Iconic Aggression to earn this gold around our waists. We do not roll over under the pressure of a challenge to hand over what we worked so hard to achieve.
This is a team of champions, a team of proven match winners, a team that knows how to handle high profile matches and win when it matters most. You may have won a few battle but tonight this field of gold, we will win the war.
