Los Angeles, California
Lost Home
The wildfires had taken over in Southern California. California had been a dangerous place to be but that didn’t stop Crystal from visiting to make sure that everything was intact. She stood at the area where her Hollywood Hills home had been. Her entire estate had been burnt to a crisp. Everything was gone. Tears started to flow down Crystal’s eyes as she looked around. She wasn’t alone as she stood next to her life Seleana Zdunich. Seleana held Crystal close to her as tears immediately started to flow down the cheeks of her wife.
‘Sel… I can’t believe it’s all gone. You don’t know how much went into that home…”
Seleana held Crystal tighter than before as she pulled her wife in. Seleana knew that these were real tears. They weren’t the crocodile tears that Crystal would often showcase on a movie set but these felt authentic. Seleana could only be there to care for her wife as she looked down into the shorter woman’s eyes.
“It’s okay chickie… It’s only a house. We have the money. We can build a bigger and better home. One that Elijah and Aurora can be proud. One that Halo and Brittany can come too and we can have big family dinners, we will recover in time. You will recover because you are one of the strongest women I know and you always find a way to make things better. You are a survivor…”
Crystal just sighs in return. “I know Seleana… You just don’t understand that this was more than just a home though… I loved this home. No amount of money will be ever to replace all of the memories that were made here. When I made a lot of money this is the very first thing that I used my money on. California became my home after Detroit and even though everything burnt up and we can rebuild things. It won’t rebuild within my heart what was lost… It’s just going to be an empty void…”
Crystal couldn’t help but let more tears escape her lips. Seleana tries her best to soothe her wife as she holds her hand and walks towards the car.
“I know all of this hurts but that doesn’t mean that this is the end of the world. We can do something else and start creating new memories that you could be fond of. We have the kids and we also have Alexandra. So why not start settling down in Vegas. You seem to really like it there and it’s not like we really in California that much anyway. I know you have studio that you own here but Melissa is doing a great job running it just like Chavy is doing a great job at the zoo. We are grateful that Zoo wasn’t destroyed and didn’t hurt animals…Maybe you can turn your attention from this and worry more about your Golden Ring Hotel. Daniel sees you doing a good job and you are thriving…”
Crystal’s eyes open wide up as Seleana kept on reaching out to her. She just sighs as she gazes back into the eyes of her wife.
“Can I ask you an honest question, do you feel like I am most concerned about my hotel?! When I fought Andrea she brought it up after the fact that I just didn’t have the passion and that I wasn’t the same woman that I was from back in the day. I wanted to deny it but maybe this hotel is getting the best of me. it’s becoming the most important thing and I don’t want it to take more precedence then that of my wrestling career…”
Seleana just sighs as she glances back at her wife. “Sometimes I just think you get easily distracted. You don’t mean to do it but you go with the one thing that currently has your mind and you don’t have time for anything else. You are amazing with the hotel but you HAVE been pouring all of your resources into that and nothing else. Aurora claims that she would like for you to spend more time with her. She doesn’t like that you don’t come home that often and even when you do you don’t make time for her…”
Crystal just shrugs her shoulders. “Wow I never really thought about things like that…”
“And I know Elijah really wants to know you more. We have things we want to do as a family but it’s hard to really go about and do them without having you there. You are just as important as is Alexandra. You are everything chickie and we just want you there…”
Crystal nods her head. “I want to be there too but I feel that Daniel really needs me at the Golden Ring as well. He trusted me to run his establishment. He trusted me to make sure everything was running to the best of its ability. I didn’t know that we would be without a bar manager and so many other key positions within the hotel. I just want perfect and I hope him to be proud of me…”
“Christina I know he’s proud of you but you need to take the same mentality and apply it to your home, and even to your wrestling career. Don’t you want to make your kids happy?! Don’t you want your fans to be happy?! You really can’t do that if you aren’t giving them your all. Just think about what I said and really give them what they want in return…”
Crystal and Seleana continue to head towards the car as she finally lets out a sigh.
“Maybe you are right. I do need to focus on them. I do have a one track mind but I will change it. I will work on things and I will make sure that things become better…”
“Good because I would hate for your wrestling to suffer because you are all over the place. Let’s go babe, Vegas is calling us and I feel like we are going to be there for a long time…”
With that the two walk hand in hand as they head for their car. They would leave California for a while as Vegas was the only thing on their mind for the foreseeable future.

On Camera
The cameras are rolling and it’s at this point that we are able to see Crystal Zdunich. She has a disturbed look on her face as she looks into the heart of the camera.
“Good evening to all of my blossoming roses out there. I am Crystal Zdunich and I feel like I need to clear the air on a number of topics. First and foremost I feel like I have this need to say sorry to all of my fans because the way I took that match with Andrea Hernandez isn’t the way that I should have taken it. I should have been much better than I was but sadly I wasn’t. I know lately I have had a one track mind as I want this hotel expansion at Golden Ring Casino to be the most important thing to me. I want it to be the biggest set of luxurious rooms for all of Vegas to book but in trying to put my all into the casino I realize that I have been taking a serious on my wrestling career.
It didn’t really dawn on me until I heard Andrea Hernandez running her mouth on social media. As she basically went on the record and claiming that this would be the end of the rivalry and how things were one sided, and how I had no passion to even give a damn, and how she never really was a friend and other things. To be honest I have been acting a little crazy and maybe just maybe I needed a kick in the ass to get myself in gear, but rest assure this is NOT the last time that she will hear from me. Nor will it be the last time that anybody writes me off like a blank fucking check because let me get something straight.”
Crystal takes a deep breath as she glares deeper into the camera and continues to speak more.
“Nor will I just stand there and let Kayla Richards disrespect my wife because the truth of the matter I was always questioning why did I come back to SCW?! What made me want to come back to the company where I had my most success?! I thought it was to just have some fun and maybe drag the members of the Golden Ring Casino along so that we could go out and win the Mixed Tag Team Championships so I can finally have that feel good moment of being a Grand Slam Champion which would further cement myself in the history books. After seriously thinking about everything I feel like I want no I absolutely deserve so much more than that! What I want more than anything is to become a six time World Bombshell Champion and I don’t give a damn who it is that is holding that title. Whether it’s Andrea or even Kayla but the truth is no matter the who the WHAT will always be the same. I will take that title at any and all stakes. So whoever holds it will be my target whether they like it or not.’
Crystal licks her lips as she speaks some more.
“And in the case of Kayla she’s a double target because she has two things that I want, but let’s put that thought on hold for a moment because I can have dreams and aspirations but what needs to be my focus is going into the ring and getting my hands on Cassie Wolfe. You want the absolute truth Cassie?! You must feel really excited to be competing in such a big time wrestling company. Both members of Young Justice will have the opportunity to get their asses kicked by both members of the Zdunich family. We are former World Champions and we will get our respect. Cassie may wish to come across as the little engine that could be she isn’t as good as she thinks she is and my issue with her is fully personal…
It pains me that I got embarrassed by her sister Krystal but she had beaten a Crystal that didn’t care, and didn’t even bother to put any effort in. She didn’t beat me at my best and seeing as she isn’t here anymore the next best thing for me is to stand across the ring from the little Wolfe and beat the unholy snot out her. She might think she is in for a great match but I refuse to be used as a springboard for her to reach superstardom. I am not an afterthought but I am the main attraction. I am a Hall of Famer and there will be some respect put on my name. Cassie do you even know what you are in for when you get into the ring with me, do you even know what I am capable of?!”
Crystal smirks as she looks further into the camera and speaks some more.
“This isn’t for fun but this is a way for me to prove that I still have the tools in the world to prove that I belong in the spot that I am at. Cassie is a woman who has dropped the ball and I don’t see a future for her. She might think she has the ability but I just don’t see it. I think I made them both look stupid when I managed to bring London Underground out of retirement to handle business within the ring. We all have a connection and we spend tons of time together at the Golden Ring Casino. At this upcoming Super Card I will get back to my winning ways and I will move up the food chain and put more important people in my sights…
You might have had a chance if I didn’t take things seriously but the Super Card won’t be your lucky day. it will be my night and the world will see that I am ready to step up once again. Make sure you bring everything you got Cassie but you will see firsthand that it just isn’t enough…”
Crystal smiles.
“Through it all I am the rose that refuses to wither away. It’s all or nothing and it’s time to take my top spot inch by inch, and wrecking through each insignificant figure that gets in my way. See you soon Cassie. It won’t be long until I make you my bitch!”
With that Crystal looks into the camera as we fade out on this image.
