Hello, Hi, Howdy, umm is this a whirl wind week or what? So, last week at Climax Control I was just minding my own business, when Odette had to go and do what Odette does best and that was… meddle in another person’s business. So now, here I am about to become a tag team wrestler? I know right, that wasn’t want I was expecting from my career either but she believes it will be good for me, I’m not sure how as I remember clearly vowing to never step foot into the world of championships again if I was to lose at Into the Void. ANNNS yet here I am, about to walk into this week’s Climax Control by Odette’s side and we are going to try and win the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Tag Team Championships.
Let it be known, this wasn’t what I was going to do next in my career, this wasn’t even on my planner. Yet, what can I do? I have no options. I must show up and try my hardest to help Odette win back her championship that she never really lost all because of Evie Baang who decided to hand over her championship to pursue Crystal Millar. Words of advice Evie, don’t waste your time trying to build up a match with Crystal, because we all know she only puts the work in at the twelfth hour before she tucks her tail between her legs and disappears for the next few weeks.
This weekend at Climax Control I get to headline the show with MY Best friend Odette Stevens and we get to FINALLY work together as a team. This is a dream come true moment for me, however, I can’t help feeling like I’m going to let the team down. I need to get my head in the game, but let’s be honest it’s hard to do what when my head and my heart are telling me to do two complete different things.
I had one thing left that meant something to me in Sin City Wrestling, one single thing and that was being undefeated at Supercards and now, that’s been taken from me… I feel lost… I feel alone… I feel like a failure and there is nothing I can do to stop the hurt that I have because of this. I’m mad at myself for losing, I’m mad at the fact that my motivation was robbed from me and I’m mad at I now get to watch Crystal run her filthy mouth and claim to be the best.
If I’m being honest I’m on a downward spiral right now and I really don’t see how anyone can stop me, or save me or fix me. I guess it’s true when they say, that when things get broken, you can try and fix them but it will never be the same. So, here’s to being broken and here’s to trying to recover.
Cheers.

Tuesday; Las Vegas the city of sin.
The scene opens inside lavish home that belongs to Odette and Gabriel Stevens. Gabriel and Lucas were chasing each other around in the living room, while Odette stood in her kitchen dressed ready to go for a day out shopping. However, she wasn’t going alone as she looked across her kitchen looking over to see her NEW tag team partner Melody Grace staring at the screen of the red IPhone seven plus.
Odette: Mel are you ready to go?
Melody didn’t even shift her attention from the screen of her phone as she continued to scroll through the pages of Pinterest looking at anything and everything to keep her mind off what she was meant to be doing today.
Melody: Do you really need me to go?
Odette was a little taken back by Melody’s words as she thought for sure her best friend would be excited for her big day, nevertheless Melody still didn’t even pull her attention away from her phone.
Odette: As my future bridesmaid, you’re required to come with me. it’s the law.
Odette made her way over towards Melody trying to get some excitement to arise from her best friend, but she was wasting her time. Melody had been in a foul mood since she had stepped foot into this house and Odette wasn’t going to stop until she found out why.
Melody: You and Gabriel already got married, it’s a renewal of vows, do you even need a bridal party for that?
The Aussie looked down at her one-time number one fan, who was now one of the lights of her lives in disgust. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing coming from Melody’s mouth as she was always so positive and happy all the time. It was as if the life has been sucked right from her and all she was left with was the shell of her former self.
Odette: I don’t need one, I want one… and you were over the moon excited last week when we spoke about this. So, what the fuck is up with your attitude today?
Melody finally peeled her eyes away from her phone before she slipped it into her baby pink YSL handbag. Looking up and over towards her best friend Melody just effortlessly replied, not giving her response a second thought.
Melody: I just really don’t see how me going to a wedding dress shop is going to cheer me up.
A lightbulb went off in Odette’s mind, of course this would be a tedious chore for Melody to participate in but she really wanted her to cheer up and embrace it. Walking over towards her Odette draped her right arm over Melody’s shoulders and gave her a little squeeze.
Odette: You’ll get to try on all the pretty dresses.
This was something she thought for sure Melody would be on board with, she was expecting her eyes to light up and her hands to clap together in excitement. However, Odette was left disappointed as the look on melody’s face said it all she wasn’t amused.
Melody: Yippeeee.
She rolled her hazel eyes before letting out a loud sigh, letting Odette know that she wasn’t in the mood today to play dress ups. She was sad and sulking, something that James hated her doing but he wasn’t around and she could get away with it. Odette just pulled her arm back away from Melody and started to drum her fingernails on the marble bench top beside her.
Odette: You can have a dream about the one you’ll pick when James asks you one day.
She gave her friend a little nudge but Melody didn’t even blink or move a muscle. Surely Odette didn’t just bring up the taboo topic that Melody isn’t allowed to talk about? Surely, she didn’t just promise her something that was never going to happen.
Melody: I’ll be one hundred and ten, I won’t need a white dress, I’ll need a new hip and teeth.
She dragged her right hand through her curly blonde hair before she placed her bag over her shoulder, looking to make a quick exit from the kitchen so this conversation could end. Odette was hot on melody’s heels as she followed her best friend towards the front door.
Odette: Don’t be a Debbie downer Mel, we have all seen the way he looks at you. Your time isn’t that far away.
Melody didn’t bother to turn around, she hated talking about this purely because she knew it was never going to happen and it was all her fault why it was never going to happen. Regardless of the situation she didn’t want to be talking about it she just wanted to head out, get the dress shopping done so she could come back to Odette’s house drop off her best friend before she made the drive back to Beverly Hills.
Melody: I don’t want to talk about it.
She reached for the door handle on the front door but as she went to swing it towards her, Odette side stepped her and cut her off stepping in front of her. Odette was now looking down at her friend with a concerned look on her face.
Odette: We don’t have to go, if it’s got you this upset.
Melody took a moment to think about what she was doing and how she was acting, she felt like an idiot but she couldn’t help it. She knew what she wanted to do with her life and right now, the reason why she couldn’t do it was standing right in front of her pretending that everything was going to be okay. She was throwing her happiness in her face while Melody was internally ripping herself apart. With a big sigh the young blonde finally spoke towards her best friend, she knew she was going to have to be honest with her if they were going to try and function this week as the dream team Sin City Wrestling were pinning them as.
Melody: I’m not upset about the dress shopping, I’m not even mad that I’m your bridesmaid… again. I’m just upset at what you did at Climax Control. You didn’t even ask me if I wanted to be your partner, you just nominated me and walked off like it was no big deal.
Melody was being very real with Odette and Odette couldn’t see what the big deal was. She thought she had made the right choice with Melody as her tag team partner but hearing those words made Odette think that Melody didn’t want to be tagging with her. To her it wasn’t a big deal, it was something they had always talked about. One day teaming up and tearing down Team Hero’s historic reign together. However, it was just always talk and now Odette wanted to make that a reality which was something Melody wasn’t ready for.
Odette: Because it isn’t a big deal.
Melody just rolled her eyes, of course Odette couldn’t see what was really happening here she was too busy living in her perfect little bubble where everything was green and gold.
Melody: It is to me.
As if on cue Gabriel had walked into the room with Lucas in his arms, innocently heading over towards the girls to give his wife a kiss before she went shopping. However, instead of walking in on them giggling and enjoying themselves he had walked in on them having a disagreement.
Odette: We finally get to team up and now this is a big deal to you. That you’re going to turn into a negative? I don’t know what’s wrong with you lately Mel, but baby girl you need to stop being so negative all the time. You need to see the light in the day for what it is.
It wasn’t about here turning it into a negative, it was about her not getting to once again do what she wanted to do. Melody just huffed, she knew huffing got under Odette’s skin so she made sure she did it loudly.
Melody: I don’t need to see anything. I can see everything perfectly and before you shoved me into this battle royal match this weekend, I had everything planned.
Melody’s voice wasn’t it soft sweet song like tone like it normally was, it was quite harsh and to the point something that Odette and Gabriel hadn’t encountered.
Odette: And what was your grand plan?
Odette was staring a hole into her best friend trying to work out what was going on in that mind of hers but she couldn’t work it out she couldn’t work out why she was so angry about being her tag team partner.
Melody: I was going to challenge Mercedes to my final match and I was going walk out beating her once again and that was it. I was going home, I was going to Cali, to live with James, Dexter and Puppy. I was done. I’ve lost EVERY-thing that meant ANY thing in my career at into the void. I FAILED. I failed myself, James, my fans… I’m no longer unbeatable at Super Cards… I’m done, I can’t come back from that. I wanted out. I was so close to being out and then you… YOU had to go and point your stupid finger at me and ruin it all.
Gabriel didn’t say a single word as he watched Melody rile up at his wife, not because he didn’t have the guts to say anything he just knew these two were like sisters so of course they were going to have disagreements from time to time. Odette was just shocked, pure and honestly shocked at what Melody had just said to her.
Odette: You were going to quit?
Melody just nodded her head sarcastically as if she had to spell it out towards the Aussie.
Melody: I had my letter written up and addressed for Mr Underwood and Mr Ward and everything, I’m done Odette. Well I would have been done, until you had to go and point your stupid finger at me to become your stupid tag team partner.
She didn’t give Odette a single second to reply as Melody opened the door and rushed outside, letting the large wooden door slam shut behind her. Odette was going to go follow her but Gabriel was now by her side and he forced his hand on the door, so his wife couldn’t open it. Turning to look up at the love of her life Odette just looked at him stunned. Gabriel just pulled his wife into his side before he pressed his lips on the top of her head kissing her lightly while Lucas, wiggled around on his father’s side wanting to follow Melody and chase her.
Odette: I had no idea.
Gabriel just held his wife to his side before he gently spoke.
<FONT COLOR=#368BC1>Gabriel:</FONT> You can’t know what people refuse to tell you O. Just give her some time today, she’ll come around.
And we fade on Gabriel holding the two people that mean the most to him in this entire world. Leaving Melody to stew over what she had just said and done, while driving around the outskirts of Vegas.
**
Later that day;
It had been a few hours and Odette had cancelled her shopping day to spend the day at home with her husband Gabriel. While Lucas was now being entertained by Despy and Angel whom had dropped over to visit the young boy hell bent on trying to teach him how to play checkers as Uncle Despy’s goal was to be the one to teach him all the board games in the world. Synn was watching his son interact with Lucas, concerned as Lucas had the tendency to reach out and grab on to Angel and squeeze him just a little too tightly. Snowflake was watching them all from his seat on the floor beside Lucas, who was just moving the checkers around the board without any thought.
Gabriel has his arms wrapped around his wife’s waist in the kitchen with his head on her shoulder as he looked at her reflection in the window in front of them. Kissing her gently behind her ear he whispered towards her.
<FONT COLOR=#368BC1>Gabriel:</FONT> You know, since Grandpa is here, we could slip upstairs and think about extending the family.
Odette’s eyes lit up as she turned towards Gabriel who was grinning from ear to ear, she didn’t expect to hear that from him especially since the topic of another child was put off between them. Just as Odette was going to reply, they both looked towards the doorway as the front door cracked opened and in walked Melody Grace. She wasn’t alone however as James was now with her as he had travelled to Vegas with her but had decided to spend his time at the casinos instead of hanging around the Steven’s house. It’s not that he didn’t like them, it just well he didn’t overly tolerate them either.
Despy looked up from his spot in the living room and without a second to spare he grabbed onto Angel and stormed over towards Melody in a huff.
Despy: You have some explaining to do, Melody Grace Carpenter.
Melody just looked at Despy confused, while Despy was now tapping his foot in her direction. His sole focus was on Melody as he didn’t even catch on to the fact that his buddy James was in the same room as him.
Despy: What’s this I’ve been hearing about you wanting to quit SCW?
All eyes were now on Melody in the room and everyone had flooded the area what she was standing in, she could feel Synn looking at her, Despy was shaking his head from side to side in disappointment, James was burning a hole in her skin with anger as he didn’t know she was going to retire. Gabriel had his eyes glued on his wife while she was looking at Melody concerned. Lucas was at Despy’s feet trying to jump up and take Angel away from him so he could play with him. Melody turned towards Gabriel and Odette and spoke.
Melody: You told him?
Despy was quick to jump to their defence.
Despy: No, Angel told me, because Angel heard it from Snowflake… so don’t be getting mad at them young lady. Now spill, why would you want to walk away from Sin City Wrestling? Hmmm?
Despy was making his way up closer towards Melody, while he was searching for answers from his best buddy. Melody wasn’t going to say anything, she was just going to turn around and walk out but no matter which direction she looked she was surrounded by her closest friends and basically family.
Melody: I wanted to quit because I’m a loser. A big fat, tank of a loser. I let Crystal beat me. She took my title. Well Polly’s title… but you know what I mean and I no longer have my one claim to fame. I’m no longer the Super Card Queen. I ruined it for me, I ruined it for my fans and now I have nothing.
Despy scoffed at her words, looking at her a little hurt and confused but he knew she didn’t mean to hurt him. So, he was going to fix this. Despy turned to look at his father and as if Synn knew what Despy was hinting at the booming voice of Synn was now projecting towards young Melody.
<FONT COLOR=#E56717>Synn:</FONT> You’re willing to give up everything, over one night? You’re rise to the top didn’t happen overnight, so what makes you think you’re fall from Grace, would crumble because of one match?
Before Melody could reply to Synn, he stepped into the room and was now standing beside his son.
<FONT COLOR=#E56717>Synn:</FONT> You started at the bottom, you’ve been laughed at ridiculed, mocked… and you won everyone over and built and empire, a fortress, with an endless following, who support you no matter what you do… or who you do it with.
He turned to look at James, driving his point home.
<FONT COLOR=#E56717>Synn:</FONT> And you just want to walk away from them? That my dear, would be you failing them, not the losses, not the titles, you walking away would ruin what you have created from the ground up. However, if that’s what you wish to do.
Synn took a step back before he said to much, leaving the floor open for Gabriel.
<FONT COLOR=#368BC1>Gabriel:</FONT> I get where you’re coming from Melody. We have all been there, I wanted to quit before I went on and became Sin City Wrestling Heavyweight Champion for a second time… if I would have walked away, I probably wouldn’t have had one of the best years in my career. A championship, a pregnant glowing wife, followed by the birth my world, my son.
Gabriel looked at his family to drive his point home before he continued.
<FONT COLOR=#368BC1>Gabriel:</FONT> You can’t just run away because things get hard, or because you lose something that has no meaning to begin with. The Super Card Queen? You think one loss, where you weren’t even pinned of submitted is going to take that away from you? It’s your presence at Supercards that will keep that title alive… You should dig deep and want this Melody, only you can be the killer of your own titles. You control your fate.
He took a step back to be by his wife’s side before he looked around the room, waiting for the next person to step up. James just looked at his girlfriend, unsure of this little intervention moment the Sins were conducting but why should he keep quiet when he has his own issues on his chest.
<FONT COLOR=#FBB917>J2H:</FONT> I seriously wish you could see yourself through my damn eyes Mel. You keep saying that you have failed me and yet every day I seen you, every second I see you I can’t be any prouder of you. You have overcome a lot, by yourself, in your career, in your personal life but you have never ever given up… hell, if you could put at least twenty percent of what you put in when you were hell bent on fixing us, you would never have a dark day in Sin City Wrestling again. I get that you feel like you’re at your lowest point, I’ve been there… curiosity of that arse hole over there.
James motioned to Gabriel and he was referring to the time that Gabriel threw James into a dumpster one night at Climax Control.
<FONT COLOR=#FBB917>J2H:</FONT> Sure, I had to take a break to come back to be the man I am today, but you don’t need to take a break from your career Mel. You have it all, looks, charisma, agility, the moves, you’re fast, you’re fucking fast in that ring and no one could catch you, the fans adore you... I adore you. You make friends with everyone, you don’t hold grudges, you move with the times, you keep things fresh and exciting… you’re always evolving… you don’t need to step away from the ring to rebuild yourself, you just need to take a break on yourself and stop being so hard on yourself.
James smiled towards his girlfriend, while Despy nodded in agreement before he spoke out.
Despy: BFF you should really listen to my Best Buddy, he knows what he is saying.
James cringed at what Despy had just said but he let it slide as he watched Melody start to tear up. She was confused and now she felt like everyone was picking on her when they were trying to show her, her strengths. James wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her back from running away while covering it up with a delicate hug. Everyone in the room had said something, apart from Odette who was trying to find the right words.
Odette: I’m sorry that you feel like I pushed you into this Melody. I just didn’t think you would be at the end of your rope. I should have asked you first before announcing you as my tag team partner. I just thought you would be excited. We could be the dangerous two, the Disney Duo, hell we could be Anna and Elsa… for all I care. I just wanted to tag up with my best friend, so we can tear down that strangle hold that Team Hero has on the record. I wanted us to live out our dream of being a tag team before well life happens and we run out of time.
Melody screwed her nose up at what Odette had just said, she wasn’t talking about death surely?
Odette: However, if you still want to step away that’s fine… I mean… Gabriel just suggested we start extending the family sooooo…
There was a smirk on Odette’s face that Melody knew all too well and it wasn’t long until Melody was walking towards Gabriel. She didn’t waste a moment before she slapped her hand on Gabriel’s bare chest before she wiggled her right index finger at him.
Melody: No! You know the rules, no more children until I get to have children… so we can have little babies that grow up together. So, no… just no.
Gabriel just smirked while James just tried his best to hide the fact he was rolling his eyes at that idea. Lucas had made his way over to James and was now tugging on the bottom of his shirt looking for attention. While Melody took a step back and looked at the room filled with her loved ones.
Melody: I don’t deserve you all. I truly don’t.
She was welling up as she looked at Despy, Synn, Angel, James, Lucas, Gabriel and Odette before she went to speak once more she cut off by Odette. The Aussie had swooped in and stolen Melody’s time to talk.
Odette: So, I have a question for you Melody Grace Carpenter. One I should have asked you a long time ago, well on Sunday night at least. Would you like to be my tag team partner, my best friend in crime and the one I stalk, and chase down Team Hero’s record with and claim it for our own?
Odette was holding her hands out and she had Melody’s hands in hers as she looked in her friend’s beautiful eyes looking for the answer. It didn’t take long for her to get her reply.
Melody: OH MY GOD, of course I will.
Melody jumped up into Odette’s arms and the two hugged while the boys watched on, glad that their worlds could return to some type of peace. Meanwhile as Odette hugged her best friend she looked at James and winked at him, as if she was challenging him to beat that. James just ignore it before he reached down and lifted Lucas up into his arms so he could stop pulling on his shirt. It only took a few hours but everything in this household seemed to turn back around all thanks to Despy who was smiling proudly as the beautiful moment he has just created. Once Despy was pleased with what he had seen he turned to look back at the checkers board and before anything could be said, the sound of the table being flipped broke up the silence.
Despy: BEATEN BY A BABY!!!

So here we go, welcome to a new era in Sin City Wrestling Tag Team Wrestling. A dawn of a new day, staring one of Sin City Wrestling’s most loved Bombshell’s and one that well… you either love or hate. Melody Grace Carpenter and Odette Nicole Stevens. Two very decorated female wrestlers, who have left a very noticeable mark on Sin City Wrestling during their time here.
Only time will tell if they can team together and overcome others such as Team Technicolor, The Fallen, The Elders, The Boss Ladies or The Angel Clan. I mean sure the other tag teams have been teams already and know they can work together, but what could out match or outweigh the bond that Odette and Melody share? Ask yourselves that before you start saying that they haven’t tagged before and that is going to cripple them. If anything, it’s going to drive them on. They have been after this pairing since Melody first decided that she wanted to become a wrestler, so what makes you all think they are going to let this golden opportunity slip through their fingers?
You’ll be sadly mistaken if you bet against these two just because they are new to the tag team scene together. Just know Odette know what it takes to be a champion in the tag division, so do you really think she would pick someone who would share her passion? If you do, you’re kidding yourself.
So, Remi, Edie, you might be sisters but I can assure you… your little dysfunctional tag team is going to be left one shade this Sunday night and that’s red from embarrassment when once again, you both get aired out and beaten.
The Elders? Well let’s be honest they have been talking about losing all week on Twitter, so enjoy that feeling of not letting yourself down when you taste defeat this Sunday night.
The Angel Clan? I mean do they even exist anymore? I mean I haven’t seen them around lately, so you know what if you could just stay gone, you would be doing all of us a huge favour.
The Boss Ladies, That’s a joke, right? Like I am picturing some hard-hitting suits in my mind, but when it comes to being in the ring with Odette and Melody, they’re going to be picked apart. Also, Evie threatened them that if they let Belinda walk out of Climax Control one half of the tag team champions, she could destroy everything they have ever loved. So, consider that motivation.
The Fallen, or as I like to call them, the Fallen so far, they can’t get back up. Those girls will slide on in, just in the nick of time but I can promise you it won’t be enough. It will never be enough to topple the team of Melody and Odette and why’s that? Because well they seem to have more distractions lately, over stretching themselves and well that’s never a good thing when your mind should be fully focused on your own life.
It doesn’t matter who gets put before the team of Melody and Odette because the ending will be the same. Odette will once again be crowned one half of the tag team champions and Melody will leave this Sunday night being crowed Little Miss Three out of Four.
Odette and Melody, your NEW Sin City Wrestling Bombshell Tag Team Champions.
It’s going to happen this Sunday night, be a part of it and get ready to witness history.
