{The scene opens inside Roxi and Keira’s condo. Keira is noticeably missing from the place, having gone off to stay with Jenny Tuck during Roxi and Keira’s twenty-four hour separation before the renewal. Roxi was at home almost moping around the house, not really her usual chipper-self as she wandered almost aimlessly. Seemingly stumbling upon the duo’s trophy room, replicas of all championships won from all over the wrestling spectrum. A line of glass cases sporting various titles, awards, trophies and the like.
Roxi stopped and stared, not at any one championship in particular, but almost staring through them. She sighed, eyes glossing over as if she was reading the nameplates and the title names themselves. Her finger poked the containers and slide along it softly, as to not leave fingerprints. It was a few moments of reflection for Roxi. In her most private moments, the usually incredibly happy woman, is capable of having moments of self-doubt. This was one of those times. }
I’ve lost track of what really matters…
{Roxi put her hands behind her back and jerked her head to remove hair from her eyes. She stared, silently at the championships for a few moments, and then, sneered. Her face turned to a frown of disappointment. Her arms went from behind her back, to on both hips. She heavily sighed and shook her head.}
What the heck have I been doing?
{Roxi almost laughed at herself, as if she remembered something that she had forgotten, almost like she had forgotten to lock a door or something. She gently ran her fingers through her hair and sighed again. She finally turned and exited the room, and continued to look around the empty house.
It seemed much larger than usual. Maybe it was because she was all alone, but it seemed to be huge. By most condo standards it was a little larger, but now, it seemed enormous. But given all the secret renovations there, it had to be. Like the costume area, the roof accessible elevator with a secret code, and a building lockdown code thanks to the intrusions of some of their enemies. Everything to protect those they care about. Quite the burden on the shoulders of the married couple, but, it was what they did.
Roxi finally plopped herself down on the couch. Boredom had set in for the most part, but also, some feelings of self-doubt, a dash of nervousness and anxiety thrown in as well. Roxi was restless, but didn’t want to do anything either. She thought about reaching for the remote or the ipod to just break the silence, but before she could, there was a knock at the door.
Roxi got up, and walked to the door, opening it and finding her family all there to greet her. Her sister Nicole, her mother Elizabeth, and father Paul.}
Elizabeth – Hello there.
Roxi – Hi Mom. What brings you guys around?
Elizabeth – It’s the day before your wedding renewal. We figured you could use some company.
Nicole – Unless… you have someone here already?
{Roxi shook her head.}
Roxi – No, I sent Chris and Sasha to see Keira. I feel like she’s feeling more alone than I am.
Nicole – But you’re in this big house all alone, Rox. Surely you could use some company.
Elizabeth – And family.
{Roxi held the door open for her family to come in. Of course her mother brought a plate of cookies, along with a tray of fruit. She placed them on the counter in the kitchen as Roxi and her dad shared a hug.}
Paul – How’s my little girl?
Roxi – I’m okay daddy.
{Roxi hadn’t noticed the trays her mother was carrying wrapped in her father’s hug. She turned, his arm still around her as she say the trays.}
Roxi – Mother….
Elizabeth – Just in case you get hungry.
{Roxi knew better than to argue with her mom. She gently nodded as Nicole snuck one of the cookies from the tray and ate it.}
Roxi – Hey!
Nicole – I made them, I can have one!
{Roxi’s eyes playfully narrowed daggers at her sister, who giggles and makes way too much out of how good the cookie actually is, moaning and smacking her lips in pure delight just to tease her sister.}
Roxi – I swear.
Nicole – But you love me.
{Nicole had a mischievous smile. She offered her Roxi a cookie of her own. Roxi kindly accepted it and ate it, as Paul and Elizabeth cracked open the fruit tray with oranges, apples, pineapple, watermelon and strawberries in their respective places. }
Elizabeth – Save the cookies for later girls. The fruit needs to be eaten.
{Soon the four were enjoying the fruit tray and Roxi still seemed off, playing it off to her family that everything was okay. But not everyone was fooled.}
Roxi – You guys didn’t need to come. Really.
Nicole – We’re family, you’re stuck with us.
Roxi – I know. And… it means a lot to me that you are going to be there this time. I mean, last time, it was great. But, having you guys there…it’s like, life has finally come full circle again.
Elizabeth – Roxi, you and your sister know that we wished we could have been there, but we were all in different places two years ago. And because of you, and Keira, now all of us, are back together as one. And we couldn’t be any prouder of you and Keira for all you’ve accomplished as people.
Roxi – Thanks mom.
Nicole – Well, scale of 1 to 10, how nervous are you?
Roxi – 12.
Nicole – That bad huh?
Roxi – It’s routine, we’re already married. I know this. But with everyone who is going to be there, you guys included, it just seems like this time, it HAS to be perfect. The best.
Elizabeth – I’m sure it will be fine.
Nicole – Yeah, seriously Rox, no need to panic or be nervous. This will go fine.
Roxi – I hope so.
Nicole – I know so. So, how early do you start tomorrow anyway?
Roxi - At 8. I get my nails done, my hair done and squeeze myself into that wedding dress and… marry the woman I love… With all of you there.
{Roxi forces a smile and nods to reassure her family. Nicole goes back to eating pineapple pieces.}
Elizabeth – I remember when your father and I got married. He looked so handsome in that tux. I knew I made a great choice.
Paul – I knew your mother wasn’t perfect. She was dumb enough to marry me, so I took what I could get.
{A round of laughter breaks most of the tension in the room. Roxi excuses herself and walks to the restroom, splashing some water on her face staring into the mirror for a few seconds.}
It’s going to be fine.
{Roxi nods to herself, and walks out of the rest room, passing the trophy room again. She can’t help but stop and stare at it, and the one person who saw right through everything, places his hand on her shoulder and rubs her neck. It forces a giggle out of Roxi.}
Paul – What’s the matter?
Roxi – Just nerves I guess.
Paul – I know you Rox. And I know when you are hiding things.
{Paul takes a glance into the trophy room.}
Paul – What is all this?
Roxi – It’s…
{Roxi shrugs and walks in, leading her father around.}
Roxi – It’s everything I’ve done in wrestling. Everything Keira has done. Our legacies, really.
{Paul takes a look around and inspects the trophy cases closely, nodding at each one, seeing Hall of Fame plaques, Titles, awards and the like. He finally turns and nods with raised eyebrows.}
Paul – Impressive. I’m really proud of you.
Roxi – Thanks daddy.
{Paul folds his arms and gives Roxi a look of knowing she’s still not happy.}
Paul – This is why you’re not happy, isn’t it?
Roxi - No it’s… just… *sigh* Yeah. I wanted so bad to win the grand slam championship for SCW. I was super psyched to do it, and I failed. I haven’t won a singles match in months. To be honest I feel like I didn’t even deserve that championship match. My own standards weren’t met.
{Roxi plops herself down in a nearby chair. She looks up at her father, disappointed in herself.}
Roxi – I feel like I’m chasing numbers and accomplishments. 3rd grand slam, 50 wins, 133 days as champion, 3-time bombshell’s champion, I have a trios tag title shot August 5th, I just feel like… everything is just a number, a feat… That that’s all this is for.
Paul – So, that means you’re not having fun anymore.
Roxi – I want to wrestle, I like to wrestle. But… it’s really not fun anymore. If I’m gonna do it, I need to do it for the right reasons. Because it’s fun.
Paul – Rox, From what I’ve seen, and I remember about you when you were little, you always tried to do too much. You wanted to walk before you could crawl. You wanted to do everything. When I worked on something, you wanted to help. When your mother went somewhere, you wanted to go. You were curious. Always seeking adventure. Do you feel like that now?
Roxi – I could do with a vacation from adventure.
Paul – I don’t think you can escape adventure darling. One way or another you go on it. I think you just need to relax. Stop taking it so seriously. I think you’re more worried about some imaginary standing. You feel like you’re floating on name recognition, and yet, you don’t even feel you’ve earned it.
Roxi – I really don’t. Sure, I’ve done…. Stuff. This room is full of it. But I need… something. I feel like I’m just a bit player when I should be more. All of these things, it’s confusing. I am supposed to be some kind of standard bearer and I can’t seem to get the job done on my own anymore.
Paul – What I know is, once you reach the point … in anything that you feel like it’s work, or you’re only doing it for something… it’s time to stop.
Roxi – You think I should? I mean, I have matches lined up, I can’t just back out of them.
Paul – Well, why don’t you go on your honeymoon, and see how you feel after that?
{Roxi finally smiles fully, having gotten it all out of her system, and having someone listen. She nods, standing up and hugging her dad.}
Roxi – Thank you daddy.
Paul – Now, what do you say we eat before your mother and you sister take all the cookies.
Roxi – You got it.
{Roxi and her dad walk off and the scene fades.}
Hello SCW,
I come before you tonight, seeking retribution.
Normally, I don’t let a loss really bother me. They happen. I wouldn’t have 34 of them if they didn’t. They come and they go. Water off a duck’s back as they say.
And really, for all intents and purposes, I shouldn’t really be bothered. I’m renewing my vows, I have my family, my health, a legacy and a pretty stellar career. All is really right with the world right now. It’s awesome. I am extremely lucky to have all this in front of me. Anyone else would be estatic.
But I’m not happy. It’s like I’ve got to bed mad ever since 2 weeks ago. It’s a sour taste in my mouth. I just feel it in my body and it sucks to have it there. I just hate it. I have felt like such a failure for the past 3 weeks. Every day I find myself just having to try and soothe this frustration.
I really wanted to be standing in front of you at Summer XXXTtreme having accomplished a goal. I wanted, very much to be the SCW Roulette champion. To have completed the Grand Slam and to be finally seen as one of those all-time level wrestlers in SCW. Not just bombshell’s, but wrestlers period. I wanted to stand here and be happy and proud and prideful of accomplishing something that only 3 people had done. And really, I wanted to beat Kate Steele.
But, thanks to her husband, I had to deal with the bragging. I didn’t get the job done. I should have. I should have simply put my foot down and ended that nonsense. But I didn’t. And now I stand here, almost aimless. What’s next? Where do I go from here? I had so much planned, so much visualized as finally completing this goal and being able to call myself a grand slammer. Maybe it’s my problem. Maybe it’s just a me thing. Maybe I’m just being greedy. Championships, numbers records. All of that, just for me. I wanted something out of this, something that would redeem me. I have felt like such a failure lately. In no win situations, and really getting a title shot without really earning it. I wanted to, but it was thrust upon me. And if not for outside interference, I would have accomplished this goal.
But now I sound like I’m making excuses. The real issue here, it’s that it’s been me, not being good enough to justify where I place myself. Maybe I’m thinking too highly of myself. Maybe I don’t deserve all the praise heaped upon me. I don’t know anymore. Everything is pretty confusing now.
This isn’t fun. It used to be fun. Now it’s work. And I don’t want it to be work anymore. I need to get back to having fun. While still on my quest. How do I chase this championship dream, and still have fun. Because failing again… it means then, I’m out of time, and I can’t chase the dream for a while. There’s got to be some fun out there somewhere….
Perhaps I’ll find it when I take on Amy Jayne.
{The scene opens with Roxi, freshly dolled up for her wedding in her wedding dress along with her bridal party. Amy Drew, Misty Waters, Kahlan Fischer and Melody Grace, all decked out in their bridal gowns. Roxi’s family in the background as well. Roxi looks across at her group, a smile over her face.}
Roxi – You all look amazing.
Melody – And you’re a total babe!
{Roxi can’t help but blush at her friends compliment.}
Roxi – Thank you Melody.
Amy Drew – Seriously, you look great. Keira’s a lucky girl.
Roxi – Thank you Amy. You came a long way to do this for me.
Amy Drew – You know I love you Rox. I made it to the first, and I wouldn’t miss this one for the world either.
{Roxi and Amy share a hug, and Amy’s give Roxi’s breast a squeeze which causes Roxi to wince and recoil.}
Amy Drew – One last time.
{Amy winks as Roxi nods and hugs her again tightly. She turns to Melody and Misty.}
Roxi – You guys… I can never thank you enough for being part of this with me. We had one crazy ride and Team Super Sprinkles Unicorn Lovers United will always be together. I love you both so much.
Melody – Yay! Team Super Sprinkles Unicorn Lovers United! Always!
{Melody puts her hand in and Roxi places hers on top of it. They both look at Misty, who is just shaking her head but can’t help but laugh at the two acting like children in a secret club. Melody clears her throat loudly.}
Melody – Team… Super Sprinkles…
{Melody trails off as Misty puts her hands on her hips.}
Roxi – Unicorn Lovers….
{Misty finally reaches over and puts her hand in.}
Misty – United.
Melody – YAAAAY!
{Melody giggles as the three throw their hands up.}
Misty – What am I going to do with the two of you?
Roxi – Love us?
Melody – Forever?
{Misty breaks into an actual laugh for a few seconds.}
Misty – I do. I do. You two are incorrigible.
{Roxi and Melody share a high five.}
Misty – We still need to change the name.
Roxi – We’ll work something out. But… seriously. Thank you. Both of you.
Misty – Of course Rox. You’ve always been there for me. Even when I was… not the most helpful.
Roxi – It’s okay.
{Misty and Roxi share a hug. Melody hugging both of them. Roxi finally turns to Kahlan, looking down and rubbing her pregnant stomach. She looks up and shrugs}
Kahlan – I feel kind of like a letdown. I don’t have a fancy boob hug or a secret handshake.
Roxi – No worries. You’re here Kah. That is more than enough for me. Through everything, we’ve grown as close as… well, a straight and a bi-sexual woman can.
{Roxi shrugs. Kahlan just shakes her head.}
Kahlan – I love ya Rox. You know that.
Roxi – I do. And look on the bright side of things, Keira hasn’t been around to try and touch your butt.
Kahlan – It was ONE time!
{Roxi giggles and hugs Kahlan, kissing her on the cheek.}
Roxi – You all, coming here, being my best friends and helping me share this moment with all of you. It’s a wonderful feeling. I can never thank you, or ever repay the kindness that you are showing me today. I love you all so very, very much.
{Roxi walks up to her Mother, Father, and Sister.}
Roxi – Guys… It is the greatest feeling in the world to have all of you here. Reunited after years apart, and finally getting to go through this with me. I couldn’t ask you guys to be any more supportive and loving to me and Keira. This means a lot to both of us.
Elizabeth – We wouldn’t miss this for the world. We’re happy for you, and Keira. This is a happy day.
Nicole – Yeah Rox. This is your day. Enjoy it. Let’s have some fun.
{Roxi walks up to her dad, hugging him tightly.}
Roxi – Daddy… most of all. I am happy you’re here… to formally give me away.
Paul – It’s my pleasure darling. This is all for you.
{The wedding march begins softly, for the Bridesmaids. Melody as “head” bridesmaid, goes first. Followed by Misty, and Kahlan. Amy Drew grabs a hold of Roxi’s train as she takes her father’s arm and walks down the aisle as here comes the bride plays.}
Most of all, I need to thank you Keira. Without you, none of this, would be possible. The yin to my yang, the hot to my cold. My everything in this world, and proving to not only me, but everyone that you are my equal in every way. You have constantly surprised me, and made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world with your warmth, compassion and love.
Words cannot really express how I feel when I am with you. I’m free. You have made me wife, partner, friend, and soon to be mother. Although you have given me plenty of practice on the latter. But nothing, and no one can come close to you in my life. Others are special, others have a piece of my heart, but I am forever yours in this, or any other life. I will always be with you, I will always care for you, and above all else, I will always love you.
Always. And Forever.
So, yes, It may seem like a demotion for me. But then again, maybe there’s something to this. This is a chance for me to get right back on my feet. Finally stop this skid and run of bad luck. Finally light a fire under my butt now that I have only one thing to chase now. Wins. Not titles, not accolades, not even number of wins. Just wins in general. I just want to win again. Get my hand raised. That’s a start. A start of finally changing things and getting this back to actually being fun again!
Now Amy Jayne. I can learn from. She’s got that hunger. The drive to want to make a name for herself. Challenging anyone and everyone to a match. She kind of came up short against Melly, and well, normally I’d be right here telling you that I don’t like making a rookie’s job any harder than it is by just piling on the losses, but you know, I’m still a little greedy. I still want to win. I am going to have to be a little selfish and start putting myself first if I want to get back into the hunt for the Roulette title. It’s still a goal. A mountain I will climb. But this time it’s going to be with a little momentum in front of me. Not a 1 off shot. I’m going to beat Amy Jayne, and earn this next chance. I said it before, and I will say it again. It’s only a matter of time. As nice as it would have been to stop Kate from breaking the record myself, Natalie can still do it, and even then, I may have to make Natalie’s reign shortest in history. Because regardless of what’s happened in the past 3 weeks, I’m still coming for that championship. I’m still coming to win the grand slam.
But first, I’m gonna have some fun. Vows have been renewed. Friends have been thanked and butts touched. I’m now free to take my wife on our second honeymoon and relax.
Trust me when I say I admire Amy Jayne’s bravado and guts. I admire how she wants to wrestle the best. Well, unfortunately, I’ll have to do for now. But the way I’m feeling now, the way I’ve finally been able to take a load off and all the hard stuff is out of the way…
I feel like I can take on the world. I feel like fighting I feel like wrestling. I feel like winning. Amy Jayne is just right now, at the right place at the wrong time. Or… something like that. It’s been a stressful week. I need a vacation.
See you guys soon!

{The scene cuts to during the Battle with Stephanie, as Claire has ensnared Roxi by the ankle, and hoists her up high, dangling over a building.}
Claire – You know that crazy bitch was going to kill you, right?
Roxi – Why… the change of heart?
Claire – Nobody kills you… but me.
Roxi – Heh.
{Claire grabs Roxi’s costume and flings her over the balcony onto the ground. The battered hero can barely put up any struggle. Claire confidently walks over and kicks Roxi a hard kick to the ribs and bowls her over in a tremendous amount of pain.}
Claire – This is almost too easy.
{Claire mounts Roxi and begins raining down punches that Roxi can barely block. Most get through as Roxi coughs and wretches as Claire gets off of her. Roxi can barely defend herself as Claire seems almost disappointed.}
Claire – Seriously, this is how it ends?
Roxi – Yeah… you… pick the bones…
Claire – Dammit…. I hate it when you make sense. Killing you now sucks. What fun is it to kill you when you don’t even offer a challenge? I swear you need to stop getting your ass kicked so bad before I get here.
{Claire helps Roxi to her feet. Gripping her arm as hard as she can tossing Roxi onto a couch.}
Claire – You know you owe me for this.
Roxi – You.. didn’t need to do anything… I had it.
{Roxi rolls off the couch, trying to get up.}
Claire - Sure you did champ.
{Roxi is able to get up, laboring and holding her ribs.}
Roxi – Claire…
Claire – Don’t you say it…
Roxi – Thanks.
{Claire slams her fists on the balcony and then walks up to Roxi, but Roxi socks her right in the jaw out of nowhere stunning Claire and knocking her back. Claire gets up. Turning away as she goes to punch Roxi back, but Roxi simply collapses too badly injured to do much else. Claire sighs as she hops on the balcony.}
Claire – You’re welcome.
{Claire fires off a grappling hook and swings away leaving Roxi to recover as the scene fades.}

{The scene opens in Roxi and Keira’s honeymoon suite in the SCW cruise ship, now out in the Pacific ocean, headed to a comfortable spot for Summer XXXtreme IV. While Keira has found herself a new hobby of playing Pokemon go, Roxi just had time to sit and think. It had been a week, back from the Honeymoon, an LAW show down and now, sitting here on this cruise, and preparing Keira for the chamber of fate match. Roxi put all of her effort into making sure Keira played a big role. There were always going to be questions of whether or not Roxi did really give her all against Keira when it was really lose-lose for her, but Roxi wanted Keira to be at the tp. Roxi has put everything into preparing Keira, so much so she didn’t care much, nor really show any care for her own singles match against Amy-Jayne.
With seemingly all the joy swiped away from making a 50th win meaningful, it was hard for Roxi to really refocus herself on her own career. Sure, she planned to beat Amy-Jayne. She brought video clips and analyzed them on her own time. But in the end, Roxi wasn’t too concerned with this. She wanted her wife to do well. Sacrificing her own health seemingly by spending countless hour coaching Keira, and perhaps resting on her laurels a bit too much. Too many different things were making Roxi tired, and unwell. She beamed through it with a smile, but she honestly needed both the honeymoon, and then this cruise to finally be able to rest and not worry about so much.
Roxi sat in the bed looking at nothing in particular. The room was quiet, the setting private. Keira was out chasing Pokemon, along with an alarming number of crew members, fans, and wrestlers. Roxi just a woman alone with her thoughts. Alone with the one person she couldn’t lie to.
She calmly got up, walked the bathroom in the suite and washed her face. The mirror didn’t lie showing the bags under Roxi’s eyes and a look of pure exhaustion. The break couldn’t come soon enough. But there was still one more goal to accomplish. One more push that had to be made. And then…. Freedom.
Roxi sighed heavily and pushed her hair out of her face with her hands. She stared at herself in the mirror for a few seconds.}
Roxi – What is wrong with me?
{Roxi ended up looking down at her hands, and they were clenched in a fist for no reason. She was tense. Nervous. Nervous for her wife. Nervous for herself even. She took on final deep breath, and her fists unclenched.}
Roxi – Really? That was it?
{It was as if a wave of euphoria came over her. She knew Keira would do great, and she knew she would win. This was all just done with her unclenching her fist. Letting go. Was there a reason to be worried? For her wife’s safety, but she would see to it that Keira was prepared as possible. As far she went. It would be win nymber 50. A bounce back. A reinvigorating of her career. It would not be luck at Summer XXXtreme, it would be a showcase of what Roxi could really do. A showing of a woman on a mission. She had a goal, she had a reason to fight for that goal, and that’s what she was really after. Maybe she had fooled herself a week ago by just saying she would not worry and play cool. Now… she really felt it coming on. She felt all that tension melt away something had finally given way to good feelings, good vibes.
She couldn’t help but smile. There were worries, but Summer XXXtreme would not be one of them. Amy-Jayne was not on her mind either. She knew in the coming days, she’d see, and possibly hear from Amy, but she didn’t care. Roxi felt like a prisoner in her own cabin suite up until now. Now… she needed to get out. Go do something.
She hear music.}
Roxi – Karaoke.
{She smiled, and almost beaming she walked confidently out of the cabin, and towards the music. It was open Karaoke night on the ship. A bunch of drunken wrestlers, bombshells, and fans would take their liquid courage enhanced talents and slur and slosh their way through some songs.
But Roxi, Roxi was gonna rock the mic.
She walked up to the stage to the director, writing her name on a piece of paper and a song title next to her name. She calmly waited while a particular fan attempted Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll” but didn’t really have it, not too bad, not too good. The song ended and Roxi was announced as taking the mic to a surprisingly large amount of applause. She tapped the microphone to take sure it was working.}
Roxi – Are you guys ready to rock?!
{The thunderous applause was met by the opening guitar riff of 3 Doors Down and “Kryptonite”. Some drunken whoo and some cheering as Roxi tapped her foot and began.}
Roxi – (Singing)
I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa
{The song finshes and there is a long round of applause for Roxi absolutely killing the song. Then she confidently strode to the house band playing and took over the drum set while another gentlemen came up for the playing of Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone” Roxi smirked and played the drums along side the song. Flawlessly.
She had garnered a large crowd and enjoyed playing drums for the crowd and it made some the singers a lot more bareable during Roxi’s fills.
At the end of the night, Keira was in the crowd, watching her wife rock out and enjoying herself. Roxi was drenched with sweat as she came off the stage to a large round of applause after finishing with a fan singing “Dream On” By Aerosmith. A slower song and Roxi took a bow and went down to her waiting wife.}
Roxi – Hi.
Keira – You seem different.
Roxi – I am. Actually. I’m starting to have fun while we’re here. I don’t know what it was. Maybe it was the water on my face, maybe it was the alone time. But you know… I feel really good. It’s like I’m a new woman.
Keira – I’m glad. I think we should hit the pool. Since you’re already so sweaty.
Roxi – You got it.
{Roxi smiled at Keira. A real smile, this was wasn’t faked or just for show. It was good. She was happy. Keira was happy. Everything was okay. This wasn’t the end of the world. In fact, it was like a new beginning.
One that Roxi was planning on taking advantage of.}
<HR>
Hello SCW.
I know I haven’t really been myself lately. I’ve been down in the dumps, and hiding it with my personality. Because I never wanted anyone to worry about me. I wanted to take this all on myself. I’m the superhero. I don’t need the saving. I am the one who saves. Everything has been just topsy-turvy the past couple of weeks, and the vacation from wrestling made me feel pretty good. Getting married again was amazing. I am so happy that most of the SCW bombshells and some of the male wrestlers were able to share it with me. It has always held a special place in my heart, and it always will. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful friends. And to have my family there was amazing as well. The last two weeks, I have pretty much felt… whole.
There was one piece that was missing. Winning. Winning something meaningful. Well, really, just winning period. It wasn’t here. I felt like a failure. Circumstances be damned. People have called me great, and yet, the first 5 months of this year, along with 2 last year, I was a tag team champion, and I was seen as less than stellar, despite beating all opposition. Maybe it was the long layoff from singles wrestling that did it to me. I wasn’t ready. And I was doing it for the wrong reasons.
Oh, I still plan on walking out of Summer XXXtreme with my hand raised. Because I’m getting back on that horse, and gaining what I need. I planned on earning my way back to the Roulette championship, and at this point, while I was too late to actually stop Kate Steele myself, Natalie McKinley can stop Kate. But at this point? It really doesn’t matter to me who wins. I am coming for the Roulette championship, though, I really would prefer Kate, because even if she has the record, the loss I took was flat out embarrassing. And I intend to make up for it. It’s the goal I have set.
Some may think I’m looking past Amy-Jayne, but I’m not. I have no intentions of losing to her. I don’t think about losing too much, it’s what got me here in the first place. I am going to show Amy-Jayne that while aggressiveness is pretty cool and commendable, this night, at Summer XXXtreme IV isn’t going to get her night. Not in the slightest. I will get out of this slump. Back on the horse that has kicked me off, and show it exactly whose running this show, and that’s me.
No, everything is starting all over again. It’s the old why do we fall thing. So we can pick ourselves up. I’ve told people variations of that very phrase. I never actually expected that I would need to take the advice so hard myself. I was in a state of doubt. I know I’m better than Kate Steele, I should have been better that night, but I wasn’t, and it bugged me. I’ve got to get that monkey off my back, and sadly, the rookie, as talented as she is, is in the wrong place, at the wrong time. I won’t say I’m going to steam roll her, I just saying she’s going to get an education. Normally, I love teaching, but this one, the student may not come back.
It won’t be the end for Amy-Jayne, at least I hope not, but it’s the beginning of my return to form.
Hope to see you there, to witness it live.
