Off Camera
The trip to Walt Disney World was supposed to be amazing. It was the first time in a long time that she and her mother had bonded with one another, and to be honest it was something that they both needed. They had finally started to get close with one another and just when they thought their bond was where it needed to be. Her mother had found herself losing her World Championship. Brittany didn’t know what to do. For the first time in her life she was the one who had to be the strong one as she was lost for words over her mother. Brittany held her Roulette championship tightly in her hands as Climax Control had just wrapped up. She was in the locker room with Seleana Zdunich as the two glanced at one another. There was silence between them as Crystal finally walked into the room. No one bothered to say anything although Crystal’s tears were already telling the entire story as she let her emotions get the best of her. Tears were steadily pouring from her face and hitting the ground below. Seleana quickly ran over to Crystal as Ryleigh just glared over at Brittany.
“Brittany perhaps we should go… Your mother doesn’t seem to be taking it so well and…”
“No… My mother needs me and I am going to be there for her Ryleigh… Just like I will be there for you! I can’t afford to lose either of you!”
Ryleigh nods her head with as she looks at Christina walking into the room. Seleana grabs Crystal as they embrace into a tight passionate hug. Brittany doesn’t know what to say as she can see that her mother is an emotional mess. She looks at her own championship as she slowly turns over to that of her mother. Who just keeps sobbing out loud!
“I am such a loser Sel… I thought I was ready for tonight but…. I guess I just wasn’t…. I’m a failure and…”
Brittany however isn’t trying to hear that as she looks over at her mother and quickly shakes her head.
“Mom for the love of God would you just shut up!”
Everyone in the room is completely stunned as they didn’t expect to hear that from Brittany. The petite girl just gazes back at her mother as she looks right up into her eyes.
“Nobody thinks you are a failure and I certainly don’t feel that way… If there is anyone to blame for any of this it’s Mark Ward. I don’t know why you value that piece of shit so much. He could have stopped this. He could have properly given you enough time to recover but instead Mikah is allowed to just cry like a little Bitch and immediately get the match that she wants. I sense that you are getting screwed. They just want to see Courtney taking on Mikah. They don’t want you involved in the mix. Instead of crying and getting emotional what you really need to do is take a stand and show everyone in that office and in this company that you aren’t going to just take things lying down…”
Crystal however sighs as she looks back at her daughter. Another long sigh emerges from her lips as she continues to gaze upon her daughter.
“Look Brittany I appreciate everything but the truth is I don’t know if I even want to challenge her again. I did what I had set out to do. I proved to the entire world that I have what it takes to make it to the top again. I showcased that I had one last run in me, and to be honest I am getting tired. Seleana and I are getting married in a month, and I don’t want this business to ruin what will be a beautiful marriage…”
Seleana just stands there as she offers a sigh in return.
“But Star you can’t give it up just because of me. We both met one another because of this wrestling business. Wrestling is your every passion and you just can’t give it up because you felt you failed. I don’t want that and I know B Brat definitely doesn’t want that…”
Crystal doesn’t say anything as she looks back at her mother. The long breath escapes from her lips as she just glares directly into the eyes of her mother. Brittany shrugs her shoulders as she begins to speak.
“Look you know I am not one who is meant to have these type of speeches but let me just be completely blunt with you. Mom you know you are amazing right? It really doesn’t fucking matter if it’s you trying to be this sweet lovable Christina or even parading around as the queen bitch in the room. The fact is you are the best at what you do. I have seen you wrestle and I know for a fact that you are the cream of the crop and nobody can touch you especially when you are focused. I know that for a fact…”
“Brittany I failed… There’s no reason for you to even have this speech with me because I understand how much of a fuck up I have been. Please… Just save the motivational speech for…”
Brittany however shakes her head as she looks deeply into her mother’s eyes.
“No… For the past month or two I have been a really lost soul. I struggled to find my own identity. There was a part of me that hated that I was attached to you or that I had anything to do with you. I didn’t want to see you achieve or succeed because deep down you were only there to hold me back. Yet as time went on I came to the conclusion that I do respect our namesake. I do enjoy the bloodline that is coursing through my body, and to be blunt. I enjoy having you as a mother…”
Crystal’s eyes open wide up as she looks over at Ryleigh who smiles in return.
“Wait a minute you actually do?!”
“Yes mom I do… Granted you can’t expect me to be as nice as you are, but behind everything I know that you are my mother and you are merely looking out for my best interest. You just want to see me achieve and that means more than you could ever imagine. For the first time in my life I see you not being selfish and you are really putting my needs before your very own…”
Crystal just remains silent as Brittany continues to pour her heart to her mother.
“I knew that from the very moment you told me that you would figure out what causes the death of Ryleigh in the future!”
Ryleigh stands there stunned as she looks back at Brittany as she seems a little disgusted.
“What do you mean by my death?! What are you hiding from me Brittany?! What haven’t you told me?!”
“Because you really didn’t want to know Ryleigh. You told me not to tell you about anything from the future and I respected your wishes, but I refuse to hold anything back from you especially considering that I am the reason for your death!”
Ryleigh stands there completely stunned. She doesn’t know what to say or what to make of what Brittany just told her. She takes a long deep breath as she crosses her arms and glares daggers into her eyes.
“Any other thing about the future you could have hidden from me but that’s the type of information that I think I need to know especially considering my life is at stake. You are supposed to be my best friend Brittany and yet you purposely hid it from me…”
Brittany quickly shakes her head as some tears start flowing from her eyes.
“It’s not that… It’s just when I visited my future self I could see she was in turmoil over everything that happened. What am I supposed to do?! The only thing I could do is work at what’s going on in the present. If I knew or had any clues on what happens to you I would do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen. To be honest I hate who I become in the future. The Brittany I saw was completely selfish. She had driven her own mother onto the streets. I have no idea at what happens to you Seleana, and Ryleigh I am the one responsible for your death… I guess at the end of the day. I am just one big fuck up…”
Brittany shakes her head disgusted as more tears flow from her cheek. Seleana looks at Brittany sighing.
“Chickie… I don’t think that and…”
Crystal looks back at Brittany as she wipes the tears out of her own eyes and quickly walks over to where Brittany is so she could wrap her arms around her. Brittany is taken back as Crystal speaks out to her.
“Brittany I don’t think you are a fuck up. If anything I think you are amazing. You haven’t even evolved yet. Where you are in your wrestling career is absolutely extraordinary. You just turned 17 and are already a champion. It doesn’t get any better than that and you will go on to do even better things. Just keep at it, remain focused and you can accomplish anything that you set out to do…”
Brittany however pushes away as she could see Ryleigh just storming out of the room. She looks at Ryleigh before she turns her attention back over to her mother.
“And this is among the first of the problems. Mom I love you with everything that is inside of me. Granted we might disagree with each other or I may not show it in the best possible way. The truth is I love you no matter what I might say or do. You are the most important thing to me but I feel the reason why you even lost your title tonight is because you have been too invested into me. I get it you are building me up for the future. You are putting all of your resources into making sure I am ready to take the mantle but I don’t want you to pass me down anything. I think I speak for everyone when I say that when that moment comes I want to best you straight up in the ring.”
Brittany shakes her head with a wicked grin.
“I don’t want a hand me down, nor do I want you to just step down to make room for me. When I signed my name on the dotted line of the SCW contract I did it with the intention that I was going to stand on my own two feet and I was going to look out for myself. It’s really hard to look at things in that light when you are constantly putting me over or making things about me and not you.”
“So what kind of mother do you want me to be Brittany?! Because in one aspect I am not doing enough and in the very next you are telling me that I am doing too much…”
Brittany smiles wider than before.
“I think what I want more than anything else right now is for you to dust yourself off and take back what belongs to you. Don’t worry about me… Don’t worry about Seleana…. When the bell rings the only thing that you should even be focused on is yourself… I guess what I am saying is you need to let me ride my own bike. I feel like you want me to keep the training wheels on and I am still being carried along the way. I have grown past that point. I have managed to win a championship without your help and I told you since day one that if anybody was going to take your title away. It was going to be me. Yet you let that blonde bimbo walk right into Disney World and take it right from you…”
“I know if anybody is a failure I know it’s me Brittany… It isn’t going to be long before people are going to start talking me down. They might call me a fluke and say I don’t deserve it. They might even say how I never deserved anything and they are going to do everything in their power to focus on my shortcomings…Where do I go from here?”
Brittany raises her eyes in return.
“What do you eman where do you go from here?! Mom you are Crystal fucking Hilton… It doesn’t matter what name you hide behind. It doesn’t matter how much you wish to bury the past. The fact is you are the best wrestler on the planet and you need to start acting like it. You need to start believing in that confidence again and when you do everything else will come right back to you. You just need to focus on yourself and once you accomplished that I assure you that nothing will be able to take you down…”
“And how do you know this Brittany?!”
Brittany smiles as she looks right at her mother.
“Because I have seen you do it once before. There’s nothing to stop you from accomplishing it again! You just need to focus on that. Stop beating yourself up and truly be the rose that refuses to wither away.”
“Okay Brittany… Thank you I seriously will do that but as far as Ryleigh goes we will find out what happened to her and…”
Brittany quickly shakes her head as she looks deeply into her mother’s eyes.
“Mom I appreciate everything you have done for me but in all honesty. It’s something I need to do alone. It’s something I have to do all by myself. She is my best friend which means it’s my job… I thank you for everything though. You have no idea how much it means to me.” Like you had your big World title address and you allowed me to share the stage with you. Those are moments I will take with me for the rest of my life, and I will never forget any of them. But I think I can manage from here.”
Brittany smirks as she glances at her mom and fofers her a logn passionate hug. Crystal smiles as she kisses her back.
“Thank you Brittany I needed to hear that… Go save her Brittany. You are the only one with the power to do so…”
“Trust me I plan too… Nothing will stop me from saving my best friend, and as far as you go mom… I will be your Maid of Honor. You didn’t think you were going to just get hitched and me not be involved did you?! I wouldn’t miss it for the world…”
Brittany walks away and as soon as Brittany says that Crystal smirks as she looks at Seleana and hugs her tightly. The two seem to be nothing but smiles as this family seems like they are finally getting on the same page.
On Camera
The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of a grinning Brittany Williams. She shakes her head in disgust as she is holding what looks to be a sports almanac. She grins as she holds it upwards as she looks deeply into the camera with the Roulette Championship slung proudly across a shoulder. She smiles as she begins to speak.
“Hello all of you peasants out there. I am Princess Brittany and I am here to let all of you know that it feels absolutely wonderful to be me. I am your Roulette Champion and for those of you who have been following my me I just want to say that it was really thoughtful for what my mother did for me this past week. She granted me the opportunity to share the stage with her for my first address as the Roulette Champion and I guarantee to all of you that this title will not be going anywhere any time soon. Now I could sit here and put myself over. I could shove my name down all of your throats because I know I am among the very best but you all know my talent. You all know that this reign as Roulette Champion is simply temporary. Temporary until I actually manage to take the World Championship and make it my very own…”
Brittany smiles wider than before as she nods her head in agreement and continues to speak.
“Now that we got that out of the way let’s focus to the real task at hand and this week I get to defend my hard earned championship against the likes of Mercedes Vargas. Does Vargas honestly deserve a shot at the championship?! No… She doesn’t deserve jack shit if you ask me. She is a fucking scrub and now the company has decided to throw her a bone and give her a title match. You know it’s really funny… What I have in my hand right now is a sports Almanac. You know how popular this thing used to be back in the day?! This almanac would tell you a list of everyone who has ever won a championship. Everyone who has ever won an MVP trophy or the scores of certain games. It is also this same item that was the major issue of conflict in the movie Back to the Future 2. If I was an evil cruel individual with the power to travel back in time. I could perhaps be like a Biff and use this as a tool to make a lot of money….”
Brittany looks at the book as she tosses it behind her.
“But to be honest these things aren’t needed anymore because of a wonderful instrument called the internet. With the internet people can research their own shit and this book has become useless. People don’t read anymore and I guess you can say that the people from today’s age have ruined that concept. The reason I brought an Almanac to my promo video today is because I have the sad pleasure of going up against the wrestling world’s Almanac herself in Mercedes Vargas. Vargas is a woman who likes to talk a lot of shit but most of the stuff that she loves to bring up doesn’t make a lick of sense. To be honest Vargas loves to make her presence known on every single show talking about streaks. She loves to bring up championship reigns or who has done this or done that.
It’s honestly a bunch of useless time and nobody gives a shit about anything she has to say. She loves to bully the new girls in the company in trying to measure on what woman could possibly beat her streak but nobody gives a shit about those numbers. As usual when Vargas reports something she is extremely late to the party. I never understood why it was so important for Vargas to constantly bring up things she has done like 2 or 3 years ago. That’s when it finally hit me. She is a woman who loves to live in the past. She is a woman who is always focused on what she did yesterday or throughout her career but she won’t dare talk about what she is doing in the present. Granted her latest accomplishment was beating Seleana my future step mother in a match…”
Brittany seems disgusted as she shakes her head with a look of disappointment on her face.
“Big fucking deal! You beat a woman who has only just started wrestling. You think that makes you this almighty woman now?! No it doesn’t make you shit. It just makes you worthless and to be honest petty. While you live your life being an Almanac there are women out there like myself who are actually making history. I am pretty sure I am the youngest individual to have ever won the Roulette Championship and if you really want to take things a step further. I bet I am the only first ever THIRD generational star to do it also. Hell I might be the only third generational star to have stepped foot in this company. That in itself is amazing.
You want some facts Vargas?! Truth be told I don’t like you. I don’t respect you and as soon as we stand face to face inside of that ring I plan to spit right in your face and I won’t even think twice about doing it either because I don’t respect you. I don’t appreciate how you talk about my family. It’s one thing for me to talk shit about my mother because I live with her and I have that right but it’s another thing to hear you talking about Seleana, my mom, and of course me! The very moment my mother lost it was bad enough that she was feeling bad about herself.
Yet you had to kick her when she was already down. You had to add some salt to her wounds and you really think it’s funny don’t you. You want to know what’s really funny about the entire situation?! It’s the fact that she actually made it to that match to begin with, and while she was there your entire career seems to have gone into the fucking gutter. Sure you might have had this long reign in another company that you wish to shove down everyone’s throats over and over again. You may have accomplished so much here but just like things you might find in an almanac. It’s all things that happened in the past. You are living in the past and you constantly bring yourself up as a way to relive your glory days but the only one who is buying into any of that nonsense is of course you. Everybody else couldn’t really give two shits!”
Brittany smiles evilly as she continues to speak.
“The truth is Vargas the reason you refuse to talk about anything recent is because you don’t have anything to hold onto. You could have been the top bitch in this entire company. As SCW was coming to a close or a little before it. You were the World Bombshell Champion. You could have emerged from this company and been right in the confines of the main event yet you laid a goose egg against the likes of Mikah. After that because Christian Underwood was feeling sorry for you or maybe because he just wanted to screw my mother over you got yourself a shot at the Internet Championship and you couldn’t hack it in that match. Now here we are and you get a match for the Roulette Championship, and yes now that there isn’t an Internet Championship. Now that the titles have been cut down to two that means the titles that are around have become far more important. Which means my title is that much more important…
But that still means Mercedes won’t get anywhere close to it because I am going to beat the living shit out of her. My how the mighty have fallen. You went from the very top of the food chain and you have found your way to me. How does that actually makes you feel? Do you feel tough, are you going to gloat if you do win that you managed to beat a 17 year old girl because that so sounds like you Vargas. It sounds like something you would do. The truth is you won’t be beating me because as much as I might be my mother’s daughter. The truth is I am much more violent. I don’t have a filter and I refuse to be a transitional champion. I refuse to mock me and try to act like you accomplished something…”
Brittany grins once again as she continues to share her heart with the camera.
“What I want more than anything is to wipe that stupid smile from off of your face. The one where you think you are better than everybody else. Mercedes what this match will serve as is a way for me to take one step closer to what I am really after. I will be in firm control of my own destiny and the way I see it I am this company’s legend destroyer. I want them to line up all of the legends in front of me. Why do you think I called out Evie Baang a week ago. It wasn’t because I was ready to back down. It’s because I want to take out all of the former World Champions. I want there to be no doubt in anybody’s mind when I work my way up the ladder when I eventually take the title away from my mother or from Mikah. It really doesn’t matter to me. It started with Amanda cortez, it continued with the likes of Sammi Marlowe, and now this week I guess that means you are officially it…”
Brittany chuckles as she offers a grin wider than before.
“How do you think it’s going to feel when I beat a woman who is considered a Grand Slam Champion?! Do you know how it’s going to look when I beat you senseless?! Do you know how high my stock is going to go up… It’s going to be amazing. I know I am a woman who can’t be touched and I pride myself on taking every single bitch out that gets placed in front of me. You all thought you could get away of making fun of my mother without there being any repercussions?! The truth all of you will pay for every single thing that you have said. Whether it’s Vargas, Courtney, or even Mikah. All of you will be put in your places and I will keep reaching for the top and being better than all of you. So bring your sorry ass to the ring Mercedes. Come down to the ring and get your ass kicked.
I have been waiting for this for a long time. It’s time to close out the chapter on your career once and for all, and once you get beat by a teenager what will you do with yourself. Where will you go from there?! If I had to guess not very far. All hail Princess Brittany. The best thing about the Roulette division is that we are walking into the unknown. The match could practically be anything. I am more than ready to beat you in any type of match and from there it’s onward to being the best champion that this company has to offer.
See you soon Vargas and I hope you don’t disappoint me because I am giving you everything I got plus more. See you soon. BYE FELICIA!!! You simply aren’t on MY LEVEL!”
With that Brittany can’t help but fofer a wicked grin as we slowly fade out on this image of her.
