Back in Action
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:43:37 PM »
 The scene opens up inside of a penthouse at the Luxor Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, which currently sits completed darkened with all of the lights off.  A moment later, the door can be heard unlocking and then light comes pouring into the room as the door is opened.  A moment later, the lights all come on and it is seen that walking into the room, their arms filled with bags, are wrestling legend and SCW's newest superstar, "Beautiful" Billy James and his wife, Kristen.  As they walk into the room, it's clear the two of them are continuing on a conversation.

Kristen:  Don't get me wrong, I love it here in Vegas, it's not that.  I'm just not sure this whole thing is such a good idea.

Billy:  I got that, I just don't know why not.  What's the problem?

Kristen:  Look at how great things for us have gone since you left the business.

Billy:  Yeah, but who are you kidding?  You loved it when we were on the road together back in GCW.

Kristen:  Absolutely and I would never say otherwise, but this is... different.  We were together for years while you were wrestling and as much as I had a blast, things have just, I don't know... settled down since then.

Billy:  What are you trying to say?

Kristen:  Honestly?  If you had never stepped away from the business I really don't believe that we would currently be married.

Billy:  Oh come on, you can't be serious with that.

Kristen:  It's true.  All our time together and we never got close to taking that next step while you were in the business.  We didn't even get engaged until after you hung up your boots.

Billy stops for a moment to think over Kristen's claims.

Billy:  I don't know, I guess you might have a point there.  But this is different.

Kristen:  How so?

Billy:  What do you mean how so?  We're already married!

Kristen:  Yeah, but it's not just about being married.  I'm just using that as an example.

Billy:  I know that, but my point is that things are different now that I'm married.  I'm different.  I'm not going to get caught up in all this nonsense like I used to.

Kristen:  Maybe you're right, but that still doesn't make it any less of a concern.  We were talking about having a baby, and that's not something I feel comfortable doing if you're going to be back to wrestling.

Billy:  I'm not going back to anything, babe.  My return to the ring is for one reason and one reason only, and it's to finally take care of this bullshit once and for all.

Kristen:  I have absolutely no doubt that you believe that.  But I know you Billy.  What's to say that your old desire won't come back, and you'll find yourself wanting to go back to wrestling full-time again?  It took you years to get rid of that itch.  Let's not forget, I never wanted you going to those stupid wrestling conventions in the first place because I was afraid it would be the beginning of something, and it would eventually lead you back into the ring.

Billy:  I know, but I told you back then it wouldn't be like that.

Kristen:  Right, and look at us now!

Billy:  It's not like that.  I didn't see a bunch of fans and suddenly need to wrestle again.  I had no want of knowing things would turn out this way, it was just a weird combination of circumstances.  How could I have known that I'd run into that asshole Nick, who happened to have recently made his return to his ring, happened to be in touch with that piece of crap Mark and that I would end up helping him out, only for that dipshit to somehow see that as reason to jump me?  That's how this all started and the only reason we're really standing here.  There's no way I could have seen this coming.

Kristen:  I know that, but I also know that this never would have happened if you never went to that stupid convention.  You and I both know that this is how the wrestling business goes, you can never predict these things but they just happens.  How do you know there won't be some other random thing that you could never see coming?  How do you know that thing won't lead you to have another match, and then another after that, and then before it, you're sticking around and ultimately becoming a full-time wrestling again.  This is a dangerous direction you're ending in here and neither of us know how it will turn out and as long as you're still doing this, the rest of our left is going have to be put on hold.  Why can't you just let this one go Billy?  You've been doing that for years and it's worked out for years.

Billy hesitates for a few seconds before letting out a deep sigh.

Billy:  No, I haven't.

Kristen:  Haven't what?

Billy:  Haven't been letting this go for years.

Kristen:  What the hell are you talking about?

Billy:  I mean sure, I was out of the business for years, but I never was really able to let it all go.  This shit has been haunting me for years.  I mean, think about it.  We were originally going to finally settle this first back in 2004.  It was going to be the biggest match of all and it would finally put this all to an end.  This was over 8 years ago.  What happened?  Before the match could ever take place, GCW closed its doors.

Kristen:  I know?  But you really haven't been able to get past that in all of these years?

Billy:  The problem is it wasn't just that.  This kept taunting me for years because there was always one way or another that the talk of it just wouldn't die.  First there was the GCW Reunion scheduled for 2005, with the first match being booked being me and Mark in the main event, but that never ended up happening.  Then GCW reopened its doors and the first order of business was to have me and Mark back at each other's throats and setting up the match that would finally put this all to bed.  It never happened, as GCW's second run simply didn't last long enough.  Then another GCW Reunion was scheduled for 2010.  There were all sorts of issues and it got pushed back to 2010.  Of course, all along the talk is there being another Hot Stuff / Billy James matchup.  Before you know it, SCW is opening its door and with so many former GCW superstars heading over there, the reunion is cancelled.

Kristen:  Yeah, I guess that's all true.

Billy:  I may have avoided talking about it, but this has been nagging me for years.  Now babe, NOW I finally have the chance.  There's not going to be any cancellations or closures stopping it this time.  Mark may not know it yet, but I WILL get my match and after all of this years, we will settle this once and for all.  But first things first, I have a score to settle this week.  That little scumbag is going to get what he has coming to him while also getting him out of the way as he tries to block my path to getting back at Mark.  That douche has been nagging at me for years now.  He was sticking his nose in our business back when me and Mark were having our GCW / GXW cross-over feud.  Then he's the one who dragged my ass over to SCW, and he's the one who jumped me like the spineless little coward that he is.  I tried to help him out and in the end he proved he's one of the biggest pieces of crap that's ever existed.  It's time that someone teach that son of a bitch a less and since apparently nobody else around here has been able to successfully do that yet, I guess it's time for me to take that upon myself.

Kristen:  This is what I'm talking about.  This return is supposed to be all about Mark, yet you've already got yourself hung up on Nick.

Billy:  This Nick situation will be settled very quickly, I promise you that.  He's a warm-up to get me back in action while getting a little revenge, but most importantly, he's a road block between me and Mark.  That is why he needs to go and this Sunday, I will take care of that so I never have to worry about it again.  Then my sights are set on one and only one thing, Mark.

Kristen:  I hope you're right.

Billy:  Don't worry babe, this won't last long and in the meantime, think about it as a chance to relive some of those old fun times.  We'll have good times the way we used to for a while, enjoy it for a while and then soon enough, we'll get to go back to our life and do everything it is you want to do, including have ourselves the cutest damn baby that ever existed.

Billy then steps in closer before leaning in and giving Kristen a kiss.  He then backs off slightly and smiles at her as she eventually returns a smile.

Kristen:  Alright then, I suppose I can handle that.  I say we kick things off right then, and start having ourselves a little night out the way the Kristen and Billy of old would have.

Billy:  Now THAT sounds like one hell of a plan.  Let's roll.

Billy and Kristen quickly toss their bags off to the side and turn right back toward the door, with Kristen walking out in front of Billy.  Billy then reaches forward and slaps Kristen right on the backside, causing her to jump up a little and turn around and look back at Billy with a big smile and a little giggle before continuing on.  The two head out of the room, closing the door behind them as the scene fades.

<hr width=75%>

The scene opens back up on the casino floor of the Luxor.  The camera is focused on a blackjack table which is surrounded by mostly a group of unfamiliar faces, with the exception of the last two seats at the table being occupied by Billy and Kristen.  As they are in the middle of a hand, the dealer just comes around to Billy, who currently has 11 in his hand.  He slides a second stack of chips back behind the one he already has as he looks to the dealer.

Billy:  Double.

The dealer then pulls one card from the shoe, placing it across the other cards and revealing it to be a King.  Billy does a quick fist pump as he is clearly quite happy by the result, but seems not ready to completely celebrate just yet.  The dealer then moves his attention over to Kristen, who currently has a 17 and puts her hand out over the table as she addresses the dealer.

Kristen: Stay.

The dealer acknowledges Kristen before, with no one else left at the table, he moves onto his own hand.  Dealer turns over his second card to show that he has a 15.  The dealer then pulls another card from the show and turns it over to reveal an 8.

Dealer:  23.  Dealer busts.

Those at the table celebrate their victory, including the man sitting next to Billy turning to high five him, which Billy gladly obliges.  Billy then turns towards Kristen with a smile on his face.

Billy:  Been a long time since we've just had a random night out like this.

Kristen: That is, and I have to admit, it's definitely nice.

Billy:  Couldn't agree more.  Ready for another round?

Kristen looks down at the drink she was currently sipping, seeing that there is still a little bit left, but still nods at Billy.  Billy then puts his hand up, waving down one of the casino waitresses, who is rather scantily clad, as she walks over.  As she gets there, Billy smiles at her as he points down at the glasses in front of him and Kristen.

Billy:  Two more, please.

Waitress:  You got it, honey.

The waitress shoots a smile at Billy before turning and walking away.  Billy can't seem to help himself, as he seems to watch her from behind as he walks away, after a moment of watching and suddenly realizing Kristen is sitting right there, and quickly turns back to her, addressing her rather sheepishly.

Billy:  Yeah, sorry about...

Billy stops himself mid-sentence as he looks at Kristen only to see she is also watching the waitress leave as well.  As she walks out of sight, Kristen turns back to Billy with a smile on her face.  Seeing the confused look on his face, she simply shrugs.

Kristen: What?  We said we were going to have a night like the old days.

Billy laughs and shakes his head for a moment.

Billy:  That we did.

Billy grabs his drink off of the table and holds it up towards Kristen.

Billy:  To a night to remember.

Kristen then raises her glass as well.

Kristen: Or perhaps to forget.

Kristen and Billy both laugh as they then clink their glasses together in cheers, before each finishing off the little amount they had of their last drinks.  As they turn back towards the table, the dealer immediately addresses them.

Dealer:  Your bets?

Given their being distracted, both realize they had never put up bets for the next hangs.  Billy quickly pushes a few chips out onto the table and Kristen goes to do the same, but as she does, she accidentally knows some of her chips off of the table.

Kristen: Aw crap.

Kristen quickly goes after the chips, trying to bend down for them while staying in her seat and in the process, her had manages to plant down right into Billy's lap as she's reaching.  Billy immediately notices the looks he's getting from the rest of the players at the table as well as the dealer given the circumstances.  Given that, Billy tries to get Kristen's attention on the matter.

Billy:  Um... babe?

Kristen seems to be oblivious to the impression that has obviously been given as she continues to reach down for the chips.  Billy then goes to say something else, but is interrupted as suddenly he is approached by an old familiar face who happened to be passing by, former Perfection Connection stablemate and current SCW employee, Shane Boswell.

Shane:  Hey Billy, what's up man?  Where Kr...

Shane stops himself as he sees the answer to the question he was about to ask, noticing where Kristen is currently located.  Shane sees this and chuckles before turning back to Billy.

Shane:  So I see all of these years and even marriage hasn't changed you two at all, huh?

Billy:  No, no... it's nothing like that.  It's just...

Shane:  Uh huh, yeah, sure it isn't.

Kristen immediately pops her head up and apparently she heard the conversation as she seems a bit embarrassed and immediately addresses Shane.

Kristen: No really.  I was just looking for this.

Kristen immediately holds up the chip she was looking for to show Shane.

Shane:  Whatever you guys say.  I've got to run but I'm sure we'll catch up soon.  Welcome back.

With that, Shane lets out a laugh at the situation before him and walks off.  Kristen turns to Billy with an innocent little smile and shrugs her shoulders before turning back to the table and placing the chip down on it, as the dealer then finally starts to deal.  As the dealing is going on, Kristen then turns back to Billy.

Kristen: Obviously you know what I was doing down there, but Shane does make a good point.

Billy:  What's that?

Kristen: It's not like we didn't like having, um... fun, in public back in the old days.  And well, this IS supposed to be a night that we're having like back then, right?

Kristen gives Billy a sly little grin, as he seems to be rather taken back by the insinuation.  However, before he can respond, he suddenly notices something, which catches him off guard.  Billy's reaction immediately grabs Kristen's attention as they both look to see the pit boss simply standing before them on the other side of the table, with his arms folded across his chest and shaking his head at the two of them.

Billy:  So, um... how about this weather, huh?

Getting no reaction from the pit boss, Billy seems to grow even more uncomfortable with the situation.

Billy:  Where are those damn drinks?

Billy is looking all around for the waitress they order their drinks from as the pit boss rolls his eyes at them.  The scene then fades to black.
