*The scene fades up in Paris. Specifically, at a press conference being held prior to Into The Void. There was a crowd of at least 100 fans, if not more. The stage was set up with tables and mics, awaiting everyone's favorite superstars. This particular session had been going on for almost 2 hours, and was just coming back from a little intermission.*
Host: Welcome back everyone. Now that our little break is over, let's get to part 2 of today's conference, shall we?
*The crowd went NUTS, absolute excitement in the air. You could feel the energy from the crowd that was there.*
Host: We are gonna start with someone… special. She's got a hell of a career list of accomplishments such as being a former SCW Bombshell Roulette champion, a PWS Hall of Famer, along with a Queen of the Ring, Women's Champion, and many others! You either love her, or you hate her, everyone please welcome CANDY!!!
*The crowd is straight up buzzing. A burst of sparkly pink “pyro” - just a few stagehands with confetti poppers really… sometimes ya gotta make do with what ya have to work with - “explodes” at the entrance area as “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard blares over the speakers. Candy skips out to the table, twirling in her sparkly pink-and-silver gear with her hair pulled up in 2 curly pigtails, tossing a handful of her own glitter into the air. She sits down and waves excitedly.*
Candy: Hiiiiiiii, everyone!! OH EM GOSH, I am soooooo excited to be here tonight in Paris!!! This place is, like, practically made of sprinkles and sunshine and dreams—just like ME!
*She bounces in place, her pigtails flopping. The crowd cheers, some chuckle affectionately. This woman that sat in front of them was a true paragon of everything bright and cheerful and good in the world. And the fans knew it.*
Candy: Okay, okay, okay—so this week I have a super duper big match against that meanie, Necra Octa…pus? Necra. Let's just leave it at that. Her name is a mouthful! And some one said she said something like that she’s gonna “wipe the mat with me like I’m some kinda discount dollar store cupcake.”
*Candy gasps dramatically. Hands on her hips. Still smiling, tho. It takes a lot to wipe that smile off her face.*
Candy: Well, first of all, if she did say that… rude. Second of all—cupcakes are amazing, and I would never be from a dollar store, thank you very much. I’m, like… at least a boutique bakery level of fierce!
*Candy clapped her hands, excitedly, before standing up and doing a superhero pose*
Candy: I bet Necra thinks just because I love glitter, hugs, and the color PINK that I’m not tough. But here’s the thing—glitter sticks to EVERYTHING. Just like me. You try to shake me off? I just sparkle more.
*Cheers are heard from the crowd. Candy gets fired up, still grinning ear to ear.*
Host: I have a few questions given to me from the crowd. Are you ready, Candy?
Candy: Bring it on!
Host: Ok, so first, this is a Powderpuff Hardcore Match. Are there any specific weapons you are looking to use?
Candy: Oh this is gonna be SO MUCH FUN! I get to use things like teddy bears, and pillows, and anything sparkly and glittery! I've never had a match like this, so I'm really looking forward to it. It's gonna be SO MUCH FUN!!! I know I'm gonna have a blast. I hope Necra does too. It's gonna truly be a very special and unique match.
Host: That's very true. As far as I am aware, it's first of its kind.
Candy: Like me!
Host: Very true. Next question. Do you think you overshadowed Necra's return?
Candy: I mean… I really didn't mean to. And I feel super bad about it. Like I told her, it wasn't my intention at all. I got invited by staff to come have a chat and next thing I knew… BAM… new contract signed. It's not like I sat back and said “hey, she just returned. Let's steal the spotlight and what not”. Cuz that's mean and I would never ever do that on purpose. It's not my fault that my return was more exciting.
*A hush took over the crowd. Of course she didn't MEAN it to come out mean.*
Candy: I didn't mean it like that. I just.. oh boy I'm digging myself into a rabbit hole, aren't I? Oooooh I bet I could use a stuffed bunny rabbit!
Host: Moving on… Necra hasn't been shy about expressing her feelings about you. How do you feel about her?
Candy: I don't really know her well enough to have a strong opinion on her. But I have been able to take people who hate me and turn them into friends before. Like my bestie, Carmen. HI CARMEN!
*Candy waves to the camera quickly before continuing*
Candy: And don't forget Mal! We played hide and seek one time. He's a really good hider! But I broke through his wall. And I bet I could do the same with Necra. Just will take some time, that's all.
Host: I'd pay to see that. Now, do you have any final words for Necra?
Candy: I guess so. Necra, you better be ready, ‘cause I’m not just bringing sweetness—I’m bringing a SUGAR STORM. And when the confetti settles…I’m gonna be the one standing, shining bright like a rhinestone in a rainbow!
*The crowd erupts as Candy stands up and tosses a handful of glitter in the air, sending things to black*
