It was the week of the final SCW Show of 2023 and Krystal was all set to win the Golden Briefcase, especially since only two her opponents, Seleana, and Georgie, had promoted the match whilst Luna was strangely quiet! And amongst the backlash against Krystal’s apparent entitlement following her loss to Bella Madison in the final World Bombshell Title qualifier of the year, she was arguably extra motivated to prove them wrong! Can Krystal win?

I bet those idiots don’t even realize what this shit has done to me.
I’ll admit, I was angry and pissed off after I lost the qualifier to Bella and yes, I used my promo to vent that anger, at which point every fucking Bombshell and their mother piled on top of me because how dare I show passion for this sport.
Then again, when I did the opposite this time last year after I lost the World Bombshell Title Match to Masque!
Honestly? I don’t know what the rest of the SCW roster wants me to be at this point, either they want me to show passion or they want me to shut up and just go with the flow, as if everyone wants me to be perfect after my record setting run with the Bombshell Roulette Title two years ago.
The fact that the bosses joined in only makes it worse, were my actions this year partially motivated by Sin? Yeah, I’m not denying that at this point, but there was still a lot of pent up frustration during those last few months that I took out on everyone and anyone and right now? I have one end goal for this year.
If you guessed the Golden Briefcase, then you’re absolutely correct, but I still had a lot to consider for after I won that damn thing! Good thing December 2 Dismember is the last show of the year because I can at least use the Christmas holidays to plot after I win the ladder match!
After that? Well, we’ll see when the time comes.
”And they wonder why I don’t use my wrestling twitter account much these days.” I muttered to myself as I read through the tweets that had been made against me in the wake of my first promo for the match, sometimes I wonder if this shit is worth it given how much of a toll my mental health has taken these last few years. ”At least Jessie got discharged from hospital.”
”I heard about that from Cass, good to know Jessie is on the mend.” Makayla commented as she entered my computer room and then frowned when she saw the tweets I was looking at. ”Are you still fuming over the comments other SCW Wrestlers have made on Twitter following your last promo? I told you the script for that thing was a bad idea but did you listen? No!”
”You don’t get it Makayla, if I had let that match pass without incident people would be claiming up and down that I don’t give a shit!” I insisted as I turned my chair around and stood up to face my ex-wife. ”I’m currently in a no win situation with the Bombshell Roster and I figured venting my frustrations was better than having a repeat of everything that happened earlier this year!”
”And I’m not denying that but that promo may have flushed all the work you’ve done to redeem yourself since Violent Conduct down the damn toilet.” Makayla responded with an exasperated sigh and I nodded in response. ”Jesus Christ Charlotte, maybe try listening to me next time.”
”Right, and I should listen to someone who can’t even train to become a wrestler because of her heart problems because?” I asked with a frown as I shook my head. ”You don’t know what it’s like Makayla, your just a fan of wrestling who used to be married to a wrestler, I do and I’ll trust the opinions of my fellow wrestlers a lot more thank you very much!”
”Right because people who willingly get kicked in the face for a living are clearly better decision makers than a former culinary student! Just look at that pissgate nonsense for a prime example of this!” Makayla responded with sarcasm dripping off her voice and I had no response to that. ”Besides, I did say that I wanted to talk about that, didn’t I?”
”What’s there to talk about? I’ve been living with you since Violent Conduct, we haven’t even talked about restarting our relationship yet even though Rachel still calls me mommy and the twins……..” Makayla cut me off in the best way possible, namely by kissing me on the lips, not a full on make out or anything but the intention was clear as day. ”You actually want to get back with me? After everything I’ve done over the past year?”
”I wanted things to be back to the way they were before Blaze of Glory for a while now, I just wasn’t sure when the time was right.” Makayla explained as she brushed some of her long blonde hair over her shoulder. ”Charlotte? I don’t care about what titles you win or what major matches you compete in, at one point you were the woman I loved but you nearly threw that all away because of your misguided quest to secure a better future for us, I’m not saying we should get remarried right away, but I am saying that I want us to go back to being a lesbian couple, if that’s what you want off course.”
I had to think about my answer for a minute, but I responded the same way Makayla did, only with a lot more passion, sadly the one thing that stopped us from clearing the desk and having sex atop it was the fact that the dogs needed to be fed and Garrus, being a German Shepherd, knew how to open doors, shame too because I almost had Makayla’s top off by that point.
This may not have been the early Christmas gift that I wanted, but I’ll take it!

I’ll give SCW credit, they know how to make the holidays seem special, well, more special than usual.
After everything that happened last week I was half tempted to delete my Twitter/X account and just follow the goings on in SCW through Cass, because it seems like I can’t open my mouth on that damn site without someone jumping down my throat and besides. Elon’s managed to turn a once popular site into a wasteland within a year of buying it so it’s not like I’d be missing much! But in the end, it came down to the simple fact that I’d have to enter my password first.
And after the elephant incident in India last year I’m about done with that level of headache!
So why am I at Jessie Salco’s bar this close to Christmas? It’s not like Jessie’s around anyways due to her recent health scare and all? Well the truth is that I got a test to meet someone here for a truce of sorts, I guess it would be cliché to call it a Christmas Truce, especially since Christmas Eve is still a week away, but that seems to be exactly what it is, and furthermore? It’s the last person I expected such a truce from.
Here's a hint, remember when my bitch phase started? Well, there were two women I attacked that night, one was Cass and we me made up once the Sin saga ended, but the other? Yeah, you guessed it, the truce was with Ariana.
Yeah, I was shocked too!
”Where the hell is she?” I wondered to myself as I sat at the bar, to Jessie’s credit, she had managed to take the bull by the horns when opening her bar, the place was packed and the food smelled delicious, the bar staff were all friendly too. ”Beginning to think she’ll never show up.”
“Waiting for someone?” The bartender who had been serving me, a young woman with dark hair wearing a crop top and booty shorts, asked as I turned to her. “You’ve been looking towards that door since you got here?”
”It’s a long story.” I responded as I shook my head and the bartender nodded in understanding. ”So, Jessie really lets you work in that outfit huh?”
“Says the professional wrestler.” The bartender countered and I had top admit, she had a point! Though my wrestling outfit consisted of a crop top and long pants so it wasn’t as revealing as hers. “Besides, I gotta make tips somehow.”
”There’s a joke there about some of the male patrons but I’m sure you’ve heard it before.” I responded dryly getting a laugh out of the bartender. ”Look, if she shows up, tell her that I headed home okay? She’s a Greek American woman, bit taller than me, waist length black hair, olive skin?”
“Oh you mean Ariana?” The bartender asked and I nodded, I kept forgetting that I was dealing with a bartender who had primarily sought employment here because she was a huge SCW fan, the door to the bar opened and she looked up. “There she is now.”
I turned around and sure enough, there was Ariana, her hand was still in a brace from Courtney’s attack and the Bombshell Internet Championship wasn’t with her, presumably she left it at home to avoid it getting stolen, but she was there standing in front of me. ”Glad you could make it Krystal, traffic was murder.” Ariana stated simply before she looked straight past me and at the bartender. ”The room I requested is free, right?”
“Yeah, follow me.” The bartender responded before leading me and Ari off to a side room, once we were inside she closed the door at Ariana’s request and I turned to her.
”Okay, what the hell is this about Ariana?” I asked bluntly as I folded my arms and Ariana leaned against a table. ”We haven’t spoken since the second Climax Control after Violent Conduct and I distinctly remember you saying that any friendship we had was dead.”
”You mean that statement I made whilst it felt like everyone was dog piling me for trying to take matters into my own hands?” Ariana glanced at her damaged hand and shook her head. ”No pun intended.” Ariana added as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”What do you think this is about Charlotte? I asked to meet you here to discuss a truce.”
”Peace talks between two former friends turned rivals at a bar owned by a Bombshell notorious for two things, her obsession with the World Bombshell Title and being a vindictive bitch?” I asked with a raised eyebrow and Ariana nodded. ”You realize the irony in that, right? The only thing keeping it from being even more ironic was if Jessie herself was here to oversee the peace talks and I’m assuming we both know why she isn’t here or won’t be at December 2 Dismember VI?”
”If you mean Jessie’s health scare then yeah, I saw her original tweet about it when I was at the same hospital for a checkup on this.” Ariana commented before holding up her braced hand. ”I just wanted to meet on neutral ground, the Go Gym and Hero Academy are hardly neutral and the Gold Coast Cassino is too public, to say nothing of the possibility of us running into London Underground, this seemed like a good place.”
”That’s all well and good but why? And why now when I’m about to compete for a briefcase which could let me go after you, presuming you get your win back over Courtney off course.” I pointed out and Ariana nodded in response. ”That never occurred to you?”
”Just to get it out of the way? If you win the briefcase and decide to use it against me after I beat Courtney on Sunday?” I won’t hold it against you, it’ll be within your right as the briefcase holder after all.” Ariana responded as she shook her head and I nodded as I keened against the wall. ”As for why? We’re both going through the same thing, I’m being demonized for getting revenge against Courtney, like costing her a World Bombshell Title Math and you’re getting the same treatment because you vented your frustrations.”
”There’s a big difference between a choke artist getting a fluke win and a paper champion using her injured wife to help her retain the title Ariana, we both know that.” I responded as I shook my head and Ariana nodded. ”And what’s the point anyway? I have no interest in reviving the Go Sisters team, even if the bosses bring back the Bombshell Tag Titles!”
”Hey, even I’ll admit that that was a failed experiment! Our one win was against the Metal Maniacs for fuck’s sake and they haven’t been seen since then, hell they didn’t even get our team name right on the Summer XXXTreme card!” Ariana pointed out as she shook her head and I nodded in response. ”Though admittedly that might’ve been because we didn’t have an official name at that point! And even setting that aside, time heals all wounds anyway and hell, you made up with Cass, your own flesh and blood.”
”You do know the whole reason for that was blood is thicker than water, right?” I asked before shaking my head and then extending my non dominant hand out for a handshake, why? Because Ariana’s dominant hand was the one in the brace and I wanted to make it as easy as possible. ”For now, the truce is on, besides, I’ve just started dating Makayla again and I want to enter the new year with as much of a clean slate as possible.”
”And I can’t think of a more loaded task than that after the year you’ve had.” Ariana responded before accepting the handshake. ”So, we’re at a bar, we may as well get something to drink/eat whilst we’re here.”
”Never thought you’d ask.” I responded before we returned to the bar, grabbed a table and placed our orders.

*promo time*
May as well do it in here, right?
”You know, there’s a saying I heard recently that comes to mind given my treatment by certain members of the Bombshell Roster, and for what? Because I vented my frustrations last week rather than let them boil over again? I swear this division is full of fucking hypocrites!” I commented as I shook my head. ”No sin is forgiven until it is punished, and that’s definitely the vibe I got from everyone else in the Bombshell Locker Room, why does it matter anyway? Because after I beat Luna, Georgie and Seleana on Sunday, all eyes are going to be on me and the Golden Briefcase.”
And for good reason.
”After all, that briefcase comes with a power I’ll hold over the rest of the Bombshell Division, or more specifically? It’s champions, Alexanra, Ariana, and Julianna if the champions retain on Sunday and Bobbie, Courtney, and Bella if new champs are crowned on Sunday.” I stated with a frown on my face. ”And because no one likes it when I speak the truth about their new favourite Bombshell and her track record in title matches? That’s all I’m going to say about Bella for now, instead? I’m shifting my focus to my competition in this match!”
Starting with Luna.
”Then again? I’m not sure if there’s anything to say about Luna without repeating my talking points from last week, because she certainly didn’t have anything to say about me, Georgie, or Seleana.” I stated bluntly as I folded my arms. ”What’s the matter Luna? Raven’s got your tongue? Worried that you’ll fail again? Who knows at this point? And frankly? Who cares? Not like anyone had you predicted as the winner anyway.”
Next up is Seleana.
”I’ll give Seleana credit for actually having something to say this time around, pity most of it was about how everyone views your wife as the joke she is!” I commented as I shook my head. ”How you put up with that idiot is beyond me Seleana but the most you had to say about me and the others who are actually in this ladder match is that you’ve faced us before and know what we are capable off? Pathetic, almost as much as your attempt at recapturing the days when you were actually a threat to the champions of the Bombshell Division!”
Last up is Georgie.
”Oh Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, you think your head hurts now just from listening to me talk? At least your actually talking, unlike our first match Georgie! But more to the point? After I’m done with you on Sunday? Your headache won’t be from hearing me brag about being the Golden Briefcase holder.” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”It’ll be from when I bash your head into the ladder so many times you think that the current British Government is the best you Brits have!”
Really.
”The main takeaway I’m getting from the past two weeks is that no one cares if I’m trying to be good, but everyone loses their minds when I lash out at anyone.” I stated as I folded my arms. ”What Krystal do you idiots want? The good two shoes who tries to treat each of her opponents with the same level of respect? Or the jaded bitch who is sick and fucking tired of everyone criticising me when I try to do anything for myself?! Because quite frankly? The Bombshell Roster is pushing me that way right now!”
It’s that simple.
”The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I tried to be a better person in the wake of that Sin bullshit and what did it get me? My millionth rematch with Roxi Johnson? A pointless match against Georgie? Every other Bombshell acting like nothing has changed about me? I gotta ask, what’s the fucking point?” I asked bluntly as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Especially when you consider some of the pans I have for when I win the Golden Briefcase on Sunday Night, if the Bombshell Roster didn’t hate me before? Just because I pull no punches when I’m pissed off? Then they will hate me even more in the New Year.”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”But that isn’t for another two weeks, and I’m not in the business of revealing all the cards I have in my hand just yet.” I commented as grinned cockily. ”After all, I’ve got Lena, Seleana and Georgie standing in between me and that briefcase, and at The Path To Redemption Part IX: The Path To Hell? Well, let’s just say that the path to redemption will take a darker turn and the rest of the Bombshell Roster will have no one to blame but themselves for how I act in the new year! Luna, Seleana, Georgie? See you on Sunday!”
I left the room as the scene fades.
