Keira is seen in the training chamber, throwing fists and kicks, keeping it at 400 Times Earth's Normal Gravity. She goes Super Human and fires a huge blast at the flying droids, destroying it. Keira hears the chamber powering down as she lands, panting heavily, sweating like mad as she turns.
Keira: What the...
Roxi is there, having powered down the machine
Roxi: Relax, Ii just wanted to make sure training was going well
Keira: Yea. Got to keep in shape, just in case another world threatening stuff happens.
Roxi: I know, but I don't want you to overtrain and hurt yourself.
Keira: I was on light training....since I'm mad at you.
Roxi: Mad? What for?
Keira: Oh, I don't know. My wife went back to SCW and I keep thinking you want me to be a Stay at home MOM!
Keira goes Super over this, a bit angry as she looks at Roxi.
Keira: What if I want in on the fun!? HMM!?
Keira slowly powers down, trying to cool off.
Keira: Sorry. It's been too long since I had a good fight.
Roxi: I... I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you. It wasn't something I just did out of the blue. I thought a long time before I did it. I just didn't know you had any interest in coming back.
Keira: I did. I still do. I just wanna see if I can still go.
Roxi: Well, I didn't know, you say fight like you know... a fight, not wrestling.
Keira: Wrestling, Fight. I'm still punching someone.
Roxi: Well, now you get your wish.
Keira: Yea, I get the scraps while you get handed a title.
Keira pauses it and corrects herself.
Keira: Sorry, I meant a title shot. You got on me for that crap.
Roxi: I didn't ask for any title shot. If I had my way, I'd be picking up where I left off.
Keira: No, you didn't. Yet you still got HANDED one. Roxi...I love you. But this is one of those times I want to punch you for it.
Keira sighs a bit.
Keira: Maybe I'm just still talking in anger.
Roxi: Look, I'm agreeing with you! It's not what I wanted, it's what SCW wanted, what Alicia wanted.
Keira sighs some more.
Keira: I'm sorry.
Roxi: And I wouldn't call Crystal scraps. She's been doing this a long time and she's all over the place. You haven't wrestled in almost a year. Are you sure you really want to do this? You don't have anything to prove.
Keira: I got more to prove than you think. The title you're going for? I still haven't won it. Yea, I won a World Title...but I still haven't won the one title YOU won before!
Keira begins to pace around a bit.
Keira: I want to be the SCW World Bombshell Champion...least ONCE in my life.
Roxi turns and places a hand on Keira's shoulder.
Roxi: Relax. No one is going to think any less of you if you don't. I want that for you more than anything in the world. I know you can do it, but it's not life and death if you don't. I don't want you to obsess over this. It'll make you sick.
Keira: I know. But I want to do this. I want to try one more time. To see if I still got it.
Keira turns and kisses Roxi on the lips
Roxi: But this match with Crystal doesn't guarantee anything. You may be working for a long time even if you win.
Keira: Never said it did. I just want in on the fun too....
Roxi: I'm just letting you know. But there's also a fine line between fun and obsession. I don't want you out there getting flustered and frustrated because of the road. I know you know how it all works, but seeing you having fun and smiling makes me happier than seeing you try too hard and get down on yourself.
Keira: I know. Don't worry, Rox. I'll be ok.
Keira grabs a towel and begins to towel herself off.
Keira: Speaking of....how is our Son while I was training?
Roxi: His head is buried in his tablet that Christine got for him. He has all the fun in the world just looking at everything. I think though, he does need to get outside and play every now and again. I don't want him unhealthy.
Keira: You're right. Waiiiit. Let's go to the park!
Keira smiles a bit, hoping Roxi loved the idea.
Roxi nods.
Roxi: That sounds like an idea, now we just have to get the kid to go for it.
Keira: I could break his tablet.
Roxi: He's learning things! You can't break his tablet!
Keira: True. Maybe it's cause I'm old school.
Roxi: We just need to tell him, we're his parents after all.
Keira: Lead the way, Mom.
Keira smiles as she lets Roxi get out of the chamber first.
Roxi: Very funny
Keira: I know. Not only I am funny, but I'm so punny.
Keira smirks a bit
Roxi: Don't start that again.
Roxi walks up the stairs to find Nate sitting on the couch in the living room with his tablet
Keira: Nate? Sweetie?
Nate: Hi Mama.
Keira: Wanna go with me and Mommy to the park?
Nate: Uh... I don't know...
Roxi: It's the park with the slides.
Nate: Slides? I like slides!
Keira: Then go get ready, Nate.
Nate smiles as he puts his tablet down and runs to his room in a excited manner.
Roxi: Stubborn, but with even convincing it works. Just like his mother.
Keira: Excuse me?
Roxi: You know I'm right.
Keira: Says the woman who posted herself in Heels? That's very Heel of you.
Roxi: DON'T START.
Keira: Start what?
Roxi: The puns. Do not.
Keira: Considering I learned them from you
Roxi: It has become a great regret.
Nate runs in with his shoes in his hand.
Nate: Park slides!
Keira: Tell you what. Help Nate with his shoes and I'll stop the puns.
Keira smiles as she extends her hand
Keira: Deal?
Roxi: Gimme your shoes.
Nate hands Roxi his shoes and she puts them on him and ties them up.
Nate: I... I... wanna go down the big slide.
Roxi: Oh yeah?
Nate: Uh-huh.
Keira: You sure you're ready for that? You got to be a big boy for the big slide.
Nate: Uh... I am a little boy...
Keira: Mhmm. You got to be a big boy to be on the big slide. Brave as well.
Keira smiles as she picks Nate up
Keira: Still want to go on the Big Slide?
Nate: Uh-huh
Keira: Ok, you're going to be a big boy today.
Keira smiles as she begins to carry Nate to the car
Nate: Slides slides!
Roxi: Yes, Slides
Keira giggles a bit as they drive off. Moments later, they arrive at the park. Keira and Roxi are seen holding Nate's hands as they walk to the slides.
Nate: That's a big slide!
Keira: Yes it is. You sure you're ready?
Nate: Uh-huh.
Roxi: You need to be careful.
Keira: Ok, then. Go ahead. Mama and Mommy's watching.
Roxi and Keira slowly help Nate climb the ladder putting him at the top. Nate slowly slides down with a gleeful squeal as he comes down.
Keira: Yayyy!
Roxi: You did it!
Nate: I did it!
Keira: You're a big boy, now!
Nate: I am big!
Roxi: Are you sure?
Nate: Can I... be a little boy tomorrow?
Keira giggles as she lifts Nate up and smother his cheek with kisses
Keira: You're a goof, Nate.
Nate: No I not!
Keira: Yes you are! But I'm still proud of you.
Roxi: I think I said this before.... Stubborn, just like his mother.
Keira: Hey!
Roxi: Relax.
Keira: Yea, yea. I think once I wrestle Crystal again. I'll be back in my element.
Roxi: Just continue to train, and watch the videos and I know you'll be fine.
Roxi throws her arm around Keira.
Roxi: And most of all, have fun.
Keira: I plan on it, baby.
Nate: Ice Cream?
Keira: Ice Cream?
Roxi: Don't you wanna keep sliding?
Nate: Uh-huh, but I need ice cream.
Keira: Me too!
Roxi: *Sigh* Yeah yeah... I'll be back, you two have fun, and be careful, please.
Keira: Don't worry. We'll be careful.
Moments later, Roxi returns as Nate slides down the big slide again. He makes it down and Keira catches him as she lifts him up.
Keira: Yay!
Nate: Yay!
Keira turns to see Roxi and smiles.
Keira: Lookie, Nate. Mommy brought Ice Cream!
Nate: Ice Cream!
Roxi: Yeah yeah... How many times did you go down the slide?
Nate: Uh.... 5...3 times...
Roxi: Good enough.
Keira: He wasn't scared one bit.
Roxi hands Nate an ice cream cone wrapped in a napkin
Roxi: Be careful and don't drop it. Let's sit down and eat this, okay?
Nate: Okay.
The three go to a bench and sit down. Keira sits Nate down beside her and Roxi as the three eat.
Roxi: So... what was with Crystal's hair?
Keira: Either she's trying to kill her roots or she's starting to legit see me as her Senpai.
Keira takes a lick out of her ice cream.
Keira: Which is getting very creepy.
Roxi: Yeah, it kinda was. But, that's Crystal... she's... something.
Keira: Yea, she's married to someone...yet I keep thinking she wants me.
Roxi: Well that's not going to happen.
Keira: Someone got jealous.
Roxi: I have nothing to be jealous of.
Keira: You went pretty defensive all of a sudden.
Roxi: Because nobody is taking my wife away from me.
Keira: Wow...you pulled a me every time Pet runs her mouth.
Roxi: ... God you're right.
Keira: Well, you know how I feel now. Which reminds me. Next time Pet does something like that, tell her to back off? Yes, I get jealous. But still.
Keira smiles as she finishes her ice cream
Roxi: She's... different. She hasn't done anything in a while, so for now, we can relax.
Keira: I know. I'm saying next time she does.
Roxi: Let's not worry about that. Let's focus on Crystal for you.
Keira: Yes. Let's focus on the woman who calls me Senpai and wants to replace you as my wife.
Keira giggles at that
Roxi: You focus on that. I have different things to focus on.
Keira: But legit, dear. I'll show Crystal that Senpais will break your heart.
Roxi: You do that.
Nate: Mommy, what's a Senpai?
Roxi: ... I have no idea.
Keira: We'll tell you when you're older.
Roxi: Eat your ice cream buddy.
Nate smiles as finishes his Ice Cream
Keira: Well, Wanna slide one more time or you wanna go home?
Nate: Okay.
Keira: Ok what, sweetie?
Keira sits up and turns to Nate
Keira: So you wanna slide one more time or you tired?
Nate: Yes! yes! The big slide!
Nate does a goofy dance raising his hands and waving them around.
Keira: Ok, ok you goof. Let's go to the big slide.
Keira smiles as she picks up Nate as her, Nate and Roxi go to the big slide as the scene fades
====================================
Well, it's been a long time. What, over a year now since I stepped foot into a SCW Ring or let's be honest, ANY ring at all? I don't know if it will be a one time thing or a full run again. But to be honest, it's been a long time coming for me.
When Roxi stepped back into active duty, sure. I thought about stepping through those ropes again. I thought about it much earlier than I expected. But I didn't. One of the few regrets in my life to be quite honest.
But when Roxi made her intention known to return to SCW. I couldn't hold it anymore. The itch. The itch of a good fight. The battle between two people to see who will come out on top. When I couldn't ignore that itch anymore. I legit screamed...
"I WANT IN!"
Now I get my wish against Crystal Hilt--Zdunich. Sorry, I keep forgetting she got married. Hard to tell when she's on you, wanting me to notice her so badly. Especially when her body screams out...
"KEIRA-SENPAI! NOTICE ME!!!!"
This isn't the first time I fought Crystal. I remember a few years ago. But now, I get a chance to prove that I still got it.
See you soon, Crystal....
