The scene opens on the beautiful Madison Hotel. The afternoon sun streamed through the large bay windows that over looked the harbor. A crowd had gathered in the Ballroom for a charity for "Big Brother Big Sister" to raise money once again. As the camera goes over the crowd we see an all to familiar face sitting with Reno, Rude and Scarpaci. She had been taking pictures with the kids that had come, and signed a few autographs, and enjoying the afternoon. It was nice to meet with the fans, and it gave her time to relax after the show had been finished. The Bombshell Tag Title sat on her shoulder, and glistened in the bright lights of the ballroom.
Voice: Miss Canelli?
Joanne turns around and sees a young girl no more then 10 or 11, standing behind her. Joanne gets up from where she sits, and smiles softly.
Joanne: I'm sorry sweetheart, I didn't see you there. What can I help you with? Would you like an autograph, or a picture?
Young Girl: No, but I wanted to say that I think you are a great person. I mean not only do you give back to the community you take time out of your busy schedule to come here. I've watched all of your matches and I'm a really big fan.
Joanne blushes slightly, and smiles widely. She didn't do any of it to be praised, but to make sure others had the chance to be something one day, and live a decent life, away from the streets.
Joanne: Thank you for those kind words... But there are thin's that I've done... That don't make me a good person.
Young Girl: I know, but you do what you have to do. When I grow up I want to be just like you.
Joanne: Thanks kid. that means a lot. But if you want to be like me then you have to train and work hard.
The young girl smiles and walks off, as Joanne comes back to the table.
Rude: That was sweet boss.
Joanne: I was just tellin' her the truth.
Reno: You really are awesome boss. I mean the kids love you, and have had a great time today.
Joanne: I know, but I still have to get ready for my match this week, and...
Voice: Well, well, well, if it isn't Joanne Canelli coming to grace us with her presence... I didn't think you would show your face here after what happened the last time.
Joanne looks up, and sighs seeing a woman about her age dressed in designer suit, with her hair pulled back into a bun. Joanne pushes a piece of hair our of her face, and leans back in her seat.
Joanne: Stella... It's been a while...I didn't think they let you out of your cell until the weekends.
Stella: And I thought you would still be in prison being someone's bitch.
Joanne sighs and shakes her head as a smirk forms on her lips.
Joanne: Cute... I've been out for a while now. I've been busy with other thin's.
Rude: How much you wanna bet the boss is going to floor this bitch?
Reno: 50 bucks.
Rude: Right on.
Joanne rolls her eyes, and sighs, as she gets to her feet, and adjusts the title on her shoulder.
Stella: Oh that's right, you are doing that wrestling thing now aren't you? You're face looks good for someone who gets hit in it week after week.
Joanne: I don't what your excuse is... I mean did your last face lift fail or are you sad all the time?
Stella: I haven't had any work done...
Joanne: Funny you don't look a day over 40. What do you want Stella?
She folds her arms in front of her, as Joanne puts the title over the back of the chair as she stands toe to toe with Stella.
Stella: Nothing really. I'm just shocked to see someone like you here. I mean after all you are nothing more then a wrestler heaving, grinding, and writhing against each other, trying to get the trinkets like you have now. I bet it's not that's not even real. I mean it looks like fake gold.
Joanne looks down at the floor and grabs the title off the back of the chair, and hits Stella across the face with the title. Stella stumbles and falls into one of the tables flipping it over. Joanne smiles and walks over to where Stella is and stands over her. She goes to grabs Stella but she gets hit with a hard kick, sending Joanne stumbling back. One of Stella's shoes gets caught in Joanne's jacket, but it doesn't stop Joanne. She tosses the jacket off, and goes back to where Stella is, as the kids start to cheer Joanne on. Joanne grabs her by the hair, and drags her to the punch bowl placing her face in it. Stella struggles against Joanne, but can't get a hold on her.
Joanne: I'll give you one chance to apologize Stella... If you don't then I'll drown you right here...
Stella fights against Joanne, and finally manages to get her hands around her arms and digs her nails in. Joanne lets go, and steps back. Stella grabs the punch bowl, and smashes it over Joanne's head. She goes down for a moment as Stella stands over her.
Stella: You have always been a pain in my ass. You've always upstaged me with everything that you've done. Let's see you get back up from this!
Reno: Should we help her?
Rude: Nah I think she's got it.
Joanne gets to her feet, with blood streaming down her face. She just smiles as Stella looks at her with wide eyes.
Joanne: I've been hit harder then that. You really think you can stop me with a punch bowl? Come one Stella you got to better then that.
Stella: Just go down already!
Joanne just smiles and grabs a chair. She hits Stella up against the head, and sends her to the floor. The kids cheer loudly as Joanne smiles and falls to the floor.
Reno: Joanne? Joanne? Speak to me!
Joanne: I'm... I'm... I'm fine... Just a little weak from blood loss, but otherwise fine. I don't think Stella is.
Reno: Lets get you fixed up Champ.
Reno and Rude help her to the door, as the kids cheer for her as she passes. Joanne smiles as they reach the door, and steps outside. They get into the car, and Joanne rests against the seat feeling the cool leather against her skin.
Rude: Do you want us to take you to the hospital boss?
Joanne: No, I'll be fine. I just need to rest.
The car soon pulls away and Joanne sighs. It would be a long way home but it was worth it.
Joanne: *Voice Over * What an ordeal that was. But you know what, that just gave me the fuel I need for my match this week. I mean I know it's not the tag titles or anythin' but Jessie and her partner that the brass just gave her is goin' to have a chance at the new pay per view and I'm not goin' to let them walk away with the titles I just got to a loser and her wannabe that has yet to win anythin' on her own. Jessie I don't know how many times that I have faced you, but I'm gettin' sick and tired of it, and it's gettin' just a little bit old don't you think? I mean we've gone back and forth more times then I can count, and yet I still have more wins over you then anythin' else. Besides you are nothin' more then a pain in my ass... Literally.
The blood had stopped dripping from the wound on her head, and was starting to feel like herself once again.
Joanne: *Voice Over * I don't like you but I don't want you to get you to win this match. I know what you're thinkin' and yes I can't stand the fact that I am teamin' with Veronica, but she is the lesser evil here and I'm goin' to everythin' that I can to make sure that you lose, and never get your hands on the tag titles. I'm not goin' to back down from this match, and I will do everyhin' that I have to just to make sure that you don't get this next win. You know what I can do in the middle of that ring, and you know that I will give you a fight for it. I will break everyone bone in your body, and you know I won't hesitate in doin' what I say. I just hope you're ready for whatever I throw at you Jessie, and if your little friend thinks about jumpin' in she better think again. I will have Veronica out there but then again... How much can I trust her? None really. The only reason that she's out there is because she is my partner... Even though I don't want her to be. The Daughters of Darkness will always be at my side, and that's not good for you or anyone else for that matter.
She looks out the window, as the city passes by.
Joanne: *Voice Over * You know this match can only end one way, and it's with me walkin' away with the win under me, and leavin' your sorry ass in the middle of the ring, wonderin' where you went wrong. I can already tell you that... You stand against me and you're goin' to lose just like so many others have already. I'm not goin' to back down from this fight, let alone lay down and let you just walk away with what is mine. Not now, not ever will I let you take this win from me, no matter what you do to try and stop me.
They soon pull onto the interstate, and start the drive home in the suburbs. The afternoon sun was starting to fade from sight, and the evening was coming on fast.
Joanne: *Voice Over * With my sisters backin' me up I know I have this match won, along with many other matches that are still before me. Jessie you are just another steppin' stone in my career and trust me when I'm done with you Jessie there won't be anythin' left of you to save for Amy's return. I know you're going to come back at me with some smart ass response, but I really don't what you have to say, because it's always the same, and you never seem to learn your lesson when you stand against someone like me. You've managed to beat Necra once, and look where that got you... Nowhere. It got you one step closer to sufferin' a total defeat against the Daughters of Darkness, and this week will be just the beginnin'. We are the Mafioso, and we get paid to kick your ass. See you soon Jessie.
Joanne smiles to herself, and stares out the window, as they speed off into the setting sun as the scene fades to black.
