Scene One
The scene opens up backstage inside on the corridors of the arena that SCW has taken over for the night. It doesn’t take too long though until the familiar face in this familiar surrounding turns up, that being Virgil. Virgil, with his phone in hand, is looking slightly impatient as he walks down the corridor. Virgil stops for a moment as his phone vibrates into life, flashing like a strobe light in the middle of a rave, as
Virgil raises the phone with his facing suddenly interested in this device.
Virgil: Come on Eddie, where the bloody hell are you.
Virgil presses a button to cease the noise and find a text on, Virgil begins to quietly read it out loud.
Virgil: Congratulations, you have been selected this month to received double your minutes on your contract, all you need to do to redeem...Argh bollocks to this!
Virgil wheels his hand back and goes to launch his phone, but stops himself and regains his composure as he lets out a sigh shaking his head.
Virgil: Come on Eddie, hurry the hell up.
Virgil slips the phone back into his pocket as he goes to continue making his way down the corridor when he see's Phil walking round from a corner into the corridor.
Phil looks up to see Virgil, which makes him suddenly stop in his tracks. Phil suddenly turns back around and goes to walk away Virgil but Virgil suddenly sees him
Virgil: Hey Phil, oi Phil!
Phil stops in his tracks and slowly turns back to face Virgil as Virgil storms right up to
Phil. Virgil, still with his phone in hand, stops right in front of Phil.
Virgil: Did you speak to Mark Ward about me wanting to see him yet?
Phil: Er, I'm afraid there hasn't been much time for socialising with the first Climax Control about to happen, I mean I've got to...
Virgil: Woah, woah, woah, you've got to what? Look I understand that you're employed here to do a job but surely you've got someone under you who's only going to get you some tea, and maybe he might get Mark Ward tea too? Would it be too hard to get him to pass on my message? I mean it's obvious Mr Ward missed the promo but Saint Patty deserves someone of higher class in the company to have a word with him, mention he can't just talk about people like myself however he likes without repercussions, and fine the bloody idiot. Then I'll be very happy and we can all move on with our lives. Because of Mr Ward not knowing sooner he's already said more slanderous things about me so you don't mind letting Mr Ward know about this do you?
Phil sighs slightly as he makes his response without a lot of enthusiasm.
Phil: No sir, that'll be fine.
Virgil: Thank you very much. I don't mean to trouble you it's just being such an athlete like myself I do require more time focused on the match and less on situations like this.
Virgil turns around and begins walking away from Phil, Virgil looks at the phone again and begins to go through its details when Phil suddenly speaks up.
Phil: Oh, by the way Virgil, I do have a message for you.
Virgil: What is it?
Phil: Gentlemen by the name of Eddie G said hi.
Virgil's face suddenly lights up as he quickly turns around to face Phil again with a huge smile on is face.
Virgil: Eddie's here?! Finally!
Phil: He also said he'd be back in a couple more days.
Virgil's joy suddenly disappears again as Virgil slowly begins to shake his face.
Virgil: Screw this, I'm off for some bloody tea!

Scene Two
The scene opens inside a local coffee shop, close to the Climax Control arena, which is currently not full with only a few seats inside the shop taken. A frustrated Virgil then opens the door, which rings a bell as it opens, with Virgil making his way inside and over to the kiosk table. Virgil slouches over the kiosk as he shakes his head, he then looks up at the menu where a smile slowly creeps back onto his face.
Virgil: Finally, a shop with class. Can I have one of your large tea’s please. Black.
Virgil watches the shop assistant make the tea as he rubs away at his chin, something he does to help calm him down in high stress situations such as his tag team partner being nowhere to be seen. The shop assistant brings over the large tea as Virgil pulls a note out of his suit pocket and hands it over to her.
Virgil: Keep the change.
With that Virgil grabs the tea and heads over to a table near the window of the coffee shop and takes a seat so that he can look out the window. Virgil takes in a deep breath as he relaxes in the chair and takes a sip from his tea, the joy of the taste really brings Virgil back from his current mood and begins to lighten that load allowing him to finally enjoy the experience of being in Las Vegas, the city of sin, and apart of SCW. Virgil begins to looks at the pamphlets on the table when someone comes walking right up to Virgil and stands right next to him. Virgil keeps reading away.
Virgil: This table’s taken I’m afraid.
The gentlemen stays right next to Virgil, Virgil begins to shake his head as he starts to look up.
Virgil: Look I said this table is...oh well It’s About Bloody Time isn’t it!
The gentleman sits down on the chair next to him to reveal Eddie G having stood next to Virgil the whole time.
Virgil: Where the bloody hell have you been?
Eddie: I’ve had a few issues getting here but it’s all slightly better now. Anyway enough about that, how have you been?
Virgil: How have I been? Stressing about the fact that a tag team was meant to walk up into SCW and for a good majority of the time that this tag team was meant to exist in this company only one half of it has bothered to show. That’s how I’ve been, how’s that holiday of yours. I mean I’m guessing that’s why you’ve taken so long. Hell at one point I thought that maybe Saint Patty had a point when it said you might stab me in the back and wouldn’t show until the last possible moment for the match, or just maybe not show for the match at all and leave me in a handicap match.
Eddie: Saint who?
Virgil: So you’ve not even been watching any of the programming so far?
Eddie: Look...like I said I’ve been a bit busy getting everything ready for our wrestling return. I mean come on Virg, it’s been a while ain’t it.
Virgil: Alright, I’ll give you that, but just this once.
Eddie: Well get me up to speed then, what’s this match you’re talking about?
Virgil: As I told management we’re here he’s already put us in a match against the current best tag team. Pretty much from whatever history they had they’re basically undefeated when it comes to tag team competition, which in my opinion means we need to bring our A game straight away and dive straight into this match all guns blazing. They’re a bit of a weird lot, more into the dark arts and stuff, that Gabriel did some show around here where he’d fly in and through fire or jump off bollocks. Basically he’ll want to try and intimidate us with glitter and mystery so I suggest you look into him as soon as you can to make sure he doesn’t have much of a chance to. His partner seems a little odd too, though I think because of his size I might be able to get him down nice and quick and work him into the Virgil’s Viagra pretty quick. I’m quite sure he’d tapped to that as well, I just need you to keep an eye on Gabriel and keep him away if I get that locked on. They do seem to have a bond inside the right, which obviously for us wouldn’t have been a problem if it weren’t for that Saint Patty messing around with my head and also if it hadn’t been so long since we’d been in the ring with each other. I’m guessing we’re going to have a bit of ring rust, but as I said that ring rust really needs to be gone within sixty seconds so that we can take it to both Gabriel and Despayre and make sure we establish ourselves at the top of the tag team pile. If we can get these two under a win column for us then it’s near enough a certainty that we’ll be involved in the first tag team title match whenever SCW put them up on the line. Imagine the prestige we’ll get off the back of being the first SCW tag team champions? There does seem to be a slight problem for us though as that Gabriel seems to have a problem with our name, kept banging on about how both of us don’t want to be taken seriously, especially you with your size and strength, with a name such as Team Viagra.
Virgil goes to take a sip out of his tea as he Eddie looks confused.
Eddie: What? He’s got no reason to care about our name. Has our name hit a sore spot for him or something?
Virgil spits his tea back out as he starts laughing, having to put the tea back down before spilling it all over the place.
Virgil: I have no idea, but that would make a lot of sense for his reaction.
Virgil has a smile on his face as he looks Eddie in the eye.
Virgil: Man it’s good to finally have you here. I’ve been all over the place waiting for you to turn up and with you finally here that’s really helped me out a lot. Though that Saint Patty will still have to pay for his comments.
Eddie: What exactly did he say?
Virgil: Not a lot, just that you might turn on me, blah blah blah. Nothing major, but it’s the principle of him saying it whilst you weren’t actually here yet, he needs to learn the things you say at certain times and at other times there’s things that you never say.
Eddie: Virgil, come one, by the way it sounds already this guy isn’t even worth a second of your thought let alone your time.
Virgil: You might be right, but he’s already decided to think I’m a cry baby of it. You know I’m no cry baby and I know I’m no cry baby, it’s about respect. He should’ve respected me enough not to talk about you while you weren’t here and putting seeds of doubt in my mind, that deserves to have repercussions from management.
Eddie laughs as he shakes his head.
Eddie: Come on Virgil, let’s get back to the arena and start talking strategy for the match.
Virgil: What about my tea?
Eddie: Surely you can get more at the arena?
Virgil: ...Probably, ok fine. Let’s go.
Virgil and Eddie get up from the table and head for the door of the coffee shop, Virgil opens the door as both men then walk out of it and around the corner leaving the sight of the camera. The scene then fades out to black.
