.:: Sorry for no coding or colour this time, posting with my ipad and it's a pain in the butt but hope you enjoy it. Best of luck to Vixen ::.

{the scene opens up on what appears to be a grocery store. Shelves are lined with various kinds of snack foods. The camera keeps panning until it stops behind two women. One is tall, with a haphazard ponytail, the other us shorter, more curvasious and burnette}
Burnette: ....I don't think you have to worry Lex
{The blonde turns, the camera catches a view of her face. The beautiful Electra Styles. She looks just like any other tired, weary mother of a toddler. The toddler in question, a pretty little girl with a mop of blonde curly hair and bright blue eyes has been busily using her shoe as a teething ring as she sits in the front of the buggy. The burnette's cart also has a toddler although the little brown haired girl appears much older, her little voice belting out a off key rendition of 'do you wanna build a snowman' the burnette turns and shushes the gril with a slight furrow to her brow. She almost looks like she could be a shorter, darker Electra}
Electra: How could I not worry Chris? You know I'm not that kind of person. I would never try and steal someone's partner and besides you know how I feel about Ryan. The last thing I wanted to do was to make her feel like that was my intention
{Her sister grabs another box off a shelve as they walk down the isle. Sophia the older cousin has started singing again, this time its lower}
Chrissy: Any body that believes you are anything more than the giant sweetheart you really are, doesn't know you at all. You are just trying to be friendly with the leader of your stable.
{Electra give a half smile, worry still in her thoughful brown eyes}
Electra: Well yes. I know he doesn't think of me like that. Spike loves Vixen. He's completely devoted to her. I'm sure if i was less attractive he's still be friendly and nice to me.
Chrissy: Right. Sometimes Lex you are too nice. If it were me I would have decked that french retard right in the mouth already!
{Lexi shushes her sister, looking slightly annoyed}
Lexi: You can't say that so loud...
Chrissy: What? That I want to kill the bitch for spreading rumours about my sister or the retard thing?
Lexi: That! You have to be careful. You don't want to offend anybody. Lord knows I'm making enough enemies just by being a good person, I don't need it made worse by you be politically incorrect in public.
{Chrissy shrugs}
Chrissy: The world is too sensitive nowadays. Every little think is examined through a microscope, even things deemed safe are scrutinized like they were a serial killer. Did you know that Whooping cough has become a pandemic in California. A disease we peactically erradicated has come back all because some idoit decided not to protect their child with a vaccine. Its a simple choice, vaccinate and live...don't and die. That's why I'm glad that it's mandatory for children here or they can't go to school. Promise me Lex that Matt and Aly will stay up here!
{Chrissy had been in a mood the moment she'd picked Lexi up this morning for this Shopping trip. Lexi didn't really need anything but she longed for some time with her sister and niece. Matthew was obviously in school, but her bright 18 month old daughter loved to go out even for a little shopping trip}
Lexi: I wouldn't up root them. My home is here Chris. You think I'm being put under a microscope too. Delia is a determined individual. She's going to try to find any think thread she can find to see if yanking will unravel the whole thing. I'm not so easily undone. Now I have to go up against Vixen on sunday and defend my title. I can already tell she hates me, guess I shouldn't be surprised. Once you get a belt you become a target for every bit of stigma and jealousy there is
Chrissy: You think she's jealous?
Lexi: Maybe self consciously she is. I know if Ryan were suddenly doting on another girl like that I wouldn't be sitting idly by just watching it happen. I think maybe I should have a talk with Spike.
Chrissy: I think you should just stay out of it Lex. Whatever couple issues their currently having are all their own. I know you want to try and save everyone but some people you need to let save themselves. If you get involved I think it will just make things worse for everyone involved, including yourself.
{lexi's distress at the situation is painfully obvious as he prys a bag of rice from her daughter's fingers. She's at a stage where everything but her actual toys was something to play with. As they're both distracted, lexi with Alyson's new found kleptomania and Chrissy having a hard time choosing a cereal a man walks beside them. He's older, greying hair from beneath a fedora and dark eyes.}
Man: You're daughter lost a shoe
{He says polietly. Electra and Chrissy both start looking around, giving the man the un-noticed second he needs to drop a white envelope into Electra's open purse. Lexi rises, holding the shoe that not five minutes ago was the object of Aly's affection. She looks to offer thanks to the man, but he's already gone. She shrugs off the feeling of insecurity. The women continue to go about their shopping, Chrissy finding another subject to rant over with Lexi patiently listening}
***
{the camera is panning in and out, trying to focus. From behind it the voice of a man is heard. Its deep and obviously annoyed}
Man's Voice: why are you getting me to do this babe? I'm a retired wrestler not a freaking director...
{the camera finally clears and once again you can see Lexi Styles. She's sittin on the end of an ottoman, looking a might tidyier than she had the day before. She has her hands clasped together on her lap, her grey skirt stops just below her knees, showing her long, tanned legs. There are a few noticable healing bruises, a testiment to the abuse she put her body through by in-ring competiton. Behind her is a trophy case made mostly of glass. Inside are various awards, as well as a dozen different title belts}
Lexi: I think you got it now Ry.
{There is some noticable 'growling' and grumbling by the stay at home Daddy but he continues to stay behind the camera}
Lexi: Well here I am once again. Making sure I take a few minutes to address some concerns. I have no idea if any of what I say matters. It's not up to me to decide for you if you believe my words are genuine or not. I think Delia's cowardly actions of having her cronies attack me speak volumes about her character and even more so about any so called evidence she has against me to say i did anything to have her come out when I faced Brandi.
{She looks solemn. Gone is the happy bright smile that usually shone on her beautiful face}
Lexi: I havn't done anything other than be exactly who I am, I have never strayed from my convictions. There has been no falter in my character. I was determined to win this...
{She holds up the bombshell title which until this moment had been sitting beside her.}
Lexi: I have never lied about wanting this, in fact it was my main reason for getting back in a ring, to prove I still had it. To prove I was worthy to be a champion after so many things had held me back, stifled my growth as an athlete, as an entertainer. Did I ask to be honoured with a title match at my supercard debut? No. Absolutely not. As much as some people think it I have had little to no contact with management so any rumours about 'sleeping' my way to the top are not only completely rediculous, but also unfounded. I won't be modest about my win record here. I win, its part of knowing what you're doing out there. Watching your opponents, knowing exactly what counter moves to perform to outlast them and better yet its about being smart enough to outlast them so that you can get that one last mive in that takes them down for a pin.
{The passion she has for this business is evident on her face as she speaks so candidly and determined to prove that any rumours being spread about her were unfounded and false}
Lexi: I don't need to be sneaky, underhanded or coniving like Delia and her group. The mean girls are nothing more than spoiled little rich girls that after getting so used to Daddy giving them their hearts desires with a flash of a charasmatic smile that a situation like this one is nothing short of a disapointment and with that comes the jealousy. And with jealosy comes the lashing out irrationally. I'm not really mad at Delia, in fact she's really just sad. She lacks confidence in herself because I have been here a significant amount of time less, but yet I managed to prove myself worthy of being the face of the SCW bombshells division, where her... She would rather spend time digging up dirt on people and filling the pages of some childish book like a teenage girl lost in the midst of a raging PMS fit. I am no stranger to the rage of women being envious of what I have. Nature and genetics blessed me with this face, this body. A body that grew to fast than the woman who possessed it.
{She takes a sigh, unsurity and doubt evident in her expressive brown eyes}
Ryan *off screen*: You're doing good Lex, don't stop there
{she nods, taking an obvious deep breath brfore continuing}
Lexi: I have never hid my past. In fact it's my past that has made me the person I am today. I am stronger simply because everything I have i had to fight a battle to earn, to possess and to keep. Which brings me to the main reason for this video. My second title defense for the bombshell title. I am going up against Vixen. A stablemate, the future wife of a man I am starting to consider a good friend and a multi-time champion herself. A woman I hold a large amount of respect for despite how much distain she probably holds for me. Vixen you continue to prove why you deserve all the accolades you do. You're skills in that ring are nothing short of, well let's not mince words here, amazing. Even though you are younger, and have less experience than me you have shown why sometimes wisdom is not always the most important thing. It takes more than just a pretty face to climb through those ropes each week. To step in front of crowds of people who either adore you or hate you. To deal with countless nay-sayers who love to hate a good guy sometimes because genuine people like us seem like easy targets for people who need to look like a smart ass know it all. That see confident intelligent women making something of themselves in an obvious male dominated sport. This is my passion, my motivation. To get between those ropes. To sometimes, take out my stress and frustrations to that release I feel while sparring back and forth in a ring, for a company that in my mind, there is no doubt that SCW holds the absolute best women's divsion out of all the companies out there. We hold some top teir talent. Talent that I am honoured to be a part of. I habe never felt so comfortable in a place as i have since joining SCW. In fact, the idea of facing you Vixen, was on the top of my bucket list for my evental retirement from this sport
{Another sigh comes out, but its more a release and relief at being able to speak her mind}
Lexi: I will give you a fight Vix, I will make sure that if you're going to take this title from me, I will make you work for it because as much respect I have, how much I think you are a smart, strong and heck I'll admit it, sexy woman, you are still trying to take this belt from around my waist and I have no intention of giving up without a fight. And no, not the way Delia thinks title shots should be given or Titles retained, but simply getting in that ring and putting your skills to the test. Proving not just to all those people out there, but to yourself that you deserve to be the one on the top of the mountain. I know I deserve to be here, and I know in the past you deserved to be here too, but do you still have what it takes now? I want to see it all. I know you're upset with me, though I have done nothing and that's fine. I fully expect that to be something that drives you in our match. I'm looking forward to the challenge you will bring. May the best woman win
{Electra tries to remain strong but her resolve falters before the camera shuts off}
