Scene I -- Training Room Woes
Static is heard before Matthew Miles’ smiling face is shown onscreen.
“Hello, Mega Buster Maniacs! It’s your buddy, Matt here and I wanted to show you guys how serious Ashleigh’s been taking her training for this big match on Primetime.”
Footsteps are heard as Matt walks down the hallway and peaks around the corner to see Ashleigh lifting weights in an empty training room of the Project X training facility.
“What are you doing, bro? Being a peeping tom again?”
Matt almost drops the handheld camera as he spun around to face his buddy, Kevin, commonly known as Psycho Sagus. He shook his head and held the camera up.
“Nothing like that, man. I just want our fans to see how serious Ashleigh is about this opportunity. She really wants to prove herself and make it up to us. You know she’s still blaming herself for us losing the titles the last time.”
Kevin sighed, “How many times do I have to apologize to her. I was just emotional that night and I was being a douche. It wasn’t her fault at all. If it were Wonder Girl and I was in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. We’ll get another chance at the gold. I know it. Someone has to stand up to the MisFits. If not us, then who?”
Matt shrugged, “I dunno… maybe the National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood?”
Kevin grinned, “C’mon lay off the jokes, man. You know Ash could get hurt out there. Are you sure you really want her to take part in this match?”
Before Matt could answer, Ashleigh is shown standing in the doorway between them.
“Is this a private conversation or can anyone join in since you’re both chatting pretty loud out here…”
Both Matt and Kevin held their heads down in shame briefly before Matt spoke up, “We’re sorry, Ash. We just wanted to…”
Ashleigh cut him off, “I don’t want you two out there protecting me this time. I want to show you and the world that I can do this on my own. I’m a part of this team too. I want show that I’m just not a pretty face. I was trained by Mariah too. It’s about time that I put that to good use. I’m going to win that match or either die trying.”
Matt adds, “I respect that Ash, I really do, but we’ve all seen what Laura does to people out there. She goes out here looking to hurt someone.”
Ashleigh looks towards Kevin and asks, “If it were Ashley in this match instead of me, would you stop her?”
Kevin’s face turns blank, “No… not in a million years. I know that’s what she aspires to be - a great wrestler and champion someday. I wouldn’t stand in the way of her dreams, even if it meant that it would hurt her.”
Ashleigh turns back towards Matt, “So why can’t you two do that for me? All I’m asking is to believe in me. Whatever happens is going to happen that’s the risks we take in this business. I knew that when I first stepped into a wrestling ring and signed my GZWA contract. I haven’t been hanging around you guys all of these years for nothing. I want to leave my mark on this industry like my mentor does everytime she steps into that ring. I want to give her - and everyone who believes in me - something to proud of.”
Matt sighs in defeat and holds up the camera, “You heard it here first, Maniacs. We’ll be expecting your full support for Ashleigh at Primetime.”
Kevin nods, “Yeah we gotta treat Ashleigh as an equal member of the team or we’ll have her crazy best friend trying to prank us again. I get that enough from her before she wouldn’t quit teasing me to pop the question on her sister…”
Ashleigh looks shocked, “You proposed to Ashley!!
”
Kevin shook his head, “No, not THAT question…”
Matt smirked, “C’mon, Ash. You should know better than that. He fainted when I gave him some condoms for his first date with her. No way he’s moving that fast.”
Kevin shaked his head, “Haha, very funny you two. It was to ask her to go steady as my girlfriend.”
Ashleigh smiled, “Alice didn’t mean no harm. She knows everyone isn’t going to take things as fast as her and Susan. Besides, she knows I’ll hurt her if she does anything to you two anyway.”
Kevin sighed in relief as Matt jokingly adds, “You’ve heard it here first, folks. Ashleigh has confessed that she’s a bully. Save us, Obi-wan Kenobi. You’re our only hope!”
Ashleigh punches Matt in the arm to cease his antics.
“Don’t even joke about that. This is serious. I REALLY am you guys’ only hope if we want to go for the tag team titles again. I’m taking my training and preparation for this match serious, so why can’t you two lay off the jokes just for one week, OK? I’m nervous enough as it is about this.”
"Always such the abusive lover. I guess we can volunteer to let you beat up on us to make sure you're ready for this thing."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa... I didn't agree to let Ashleigh lay a finger on me!!"
Before Kevin could protest the subject even more, she flips him to the ground with a judo hip toss. Matt's laughter could be heard echoing throughout the corridor until she does the same to him. Matt drops the camera during the camera, ending the video abruptly with cut to static.
Scene II -- Showtime at Primetime
It's showtime, the cameras are rolling and Primetime is mere minutes from going live. Ashleigh Cash is sitting alone up in the rafters, watching the last minute arrivals fill into the few remaining empty seats in the sold out arena. She looks down at her phone and notices two unread messages.
Kev: "Where r u?"
Matt: "Babe u don't have to hide from us. We're here for u <3"
Ashleigh smiles and replies, "Just need to unwind a bit alone before my match. Love u
"
She sighs heavily to herself before looking over her shoulder to notice that the cameramen are behind her recording.
"I was wondering what was taking you guys so long to find me up here.
It's been a very long time since I've been in a position like this. It's a first for me here in GZWA, but when I was in ZXWWF, I won the Rookie Diva Tournament then fought my way towards the Women's Championship and even held that title on two separate occasions. After that, more girls were brought in to bring the division to the the next level - Kirsten, Raven, Amanda Cortez, Delta Madison, Jesse Aguilera - just to name a few. Truth be told, I found myself left in their dust. Over the years, they have creating their own legacies while I have been left in their shadows, wondering if I belong in their world or not.
I have been one of Mariah's students for a very long-time and even took the opportunity to travel the world to hone my craft, but since arriving here back in GZWA, I haven't had the opportunity to prove my worth. I was satisfied with standing at the sidelines and supporting my best friends as part of the Mega Busters.
After watching their dreams being crushed by my vulnerabilities and weaknesses, I personally went to GZWA Management and requested this match against the Tattooed Beauty. Everyone thinks I'm crazy - even my own closest friends and family. To be quite honest, I don't even believe I can do it...
But in my doubt, I have seen my mentor Mariah achieve her dream of becoming Vixen Champion after seven long fought years. She never gave up, she never stopped fighting. What good am I to my team if I'm not willing to put everything on the line for them - and my own dreams of happiness and future championship gold, just like her?
Laura Jackson, you better watch out. You don't know me but I know and have seen what you are capable of in that ring. I'm not afraid and I'm not going to run and hide from this challenge. I'm going to win tonight and the Mega Busters are going to be the next GZWA Tag Team Champions shortly after. Who knows, I might surprise you out there - champ."
She winked at the camera before turning back to her scenic view of the arena.
