[Jade Manendez-Arcador]

 High Stakes IV
9th November 2014
Michie Stadium
West Point, NY.

Drew Patton is slowly making his way back to his feet as Jade is struggling to get something out of her tights while Roxi is still trying to keep her adrenaline pumping. Jade finally pulls out a bag filled with a white substance as she walks over toward Roxi. Roxi throws one arm up which inadvertently knocks the powder like substance back into Jade's eyes. She stumbles around the ring while Roxi just watches in total confusion. Jade bumps into Drew thinking it's Roxi and sets him up for a DDT. However Roxi uses this to spring off the ropes and connect with a roundhouse kick to the side of Jade's head. Jade falls to the canvas as Roxi quickly goes into the cover.

Simone: This one just might be over. Roxi hit the Ray of hope.

Drew drops down as well and pounds the mat twice. However Jade shoots her shoulder up which shocks everyone. Roxi throws her hands up to her face and wonders what will but Jade away. Jade is still scratching at her eyes as Roxi bounces off the ropes but she gets caught with a swift European uppercut. The sudden strike stops Roxi dead in her tracks as Jade hooks Roxi for a fisherman driver. Jade manages to lift Roxi up but she wiggles loose from Jade's grip. She drops down behind Jade and snaps off an Eye of the Hurricane type move. Without wasting much time, Roxi springs off the ropes with a picture perfect moonsault and lands right on top of Jade. She hooks one of Jade's legs while grapevining the other as Drew Patton drops down into position. He pounds the canvas three times as the bell sounds.

Justin: and here is your winner... Roxi Johnson

Simone: Roxi did it. This match was brutal for a regular match. Roxi is going to need medical attention.

Adams: Jade owes me a full box of popcorn.

Roxi lets go of Jade as Drew raises her hand as the cameras cut away.


~ Backstage ~


Returning to the backstage area, after the hard fought battle against Roxi Johnson, Jade gabs a bottle of water and towel and stumbles over to a chair and sits down for a moment, as we see Jedah and Lizzy appear around the corner, after watching her match backstage, but also appearing was Pussy Willow.

“Mommy”

Lizzy rushes over and hugs Jade, as Jedah just strolls over and gives Jade a kiss on the forehead.

“Bad loss, but it was a great match between you and Roxi.”

Jedah said.

“I haven’t been pushed that hard for ages, it was embracing and I loved it.”

Jade said as her eyes lit up with excitement and passion.

“Jade can I have a few words about your match?”

Pussy interrupted the family moment.

“Sure Ms. Willow.”

Jade said formally, now allowing to say Pussy Willow’s first name in front of her daughter.

“Thanks.  I must apologise firstly, but I overheard your conversation with your husband… what is your reaction to the loss?”

Pussy said expecting some backlash, however, Jade glared at Pussy but just got on with answering the question.

“Difficult because I felt that I had Roxi beat, but she just had the final upper edge and picked up the win.”

Jade said with a shrug.

“But you know what, the last time I had this much fun was when I was competing in WCWF.”

“Fun?”

“Yes fun… Roxi pushed me quite hard in this match and I showed that I can push twice as hard and it was so much fun in doing so. I have never felt this happy about match for a long long time and I would love to wrestle her again and again.”

Jade said with the widest smile on her face.

“Well you definitely blew the roof off, however, I won’t bombard you with any further questions, thank you Jade.”

Pussy smiles as Jade smiles back, as Pussy then disappears leaving only Jedah, Jade and Lizzy.

“Mommy, can we go home now?”

“Sure baby… just have to pack up here first and then we can go.”

“Ok… I love you mommy.”

Jade smiles as her heart melts.

“I love you too.”

Jade picks up Lizzy and give her a quick cuddle before putting her down as the toll of match begins to kick in.

“How about for thanksgiving, we visit nana Elaine and poppa Erik… what do you say?”

Lizzy smiles and jumps up and down with excitement.

“I would love that.”

Lizzy said with a smile, as Jade smiles at the Lizzy’s excitement, as they begin to head back to the changing room, where Jade would quickly changed from her ring attire before heading back to home for a much needed shower and something to eat.

29th November 2014
Thanksgiving
Daytona Beach, Florida.

The scene opens up at the Manendez household in Daytona Beach, Florida, where we see Jade and Elaine Manendez in the kitchen making dinner, while Erik Manendez, Jedah and Lizzy are in the sitting room, where Frozen plays on the TV for the second time in the day, as Erik and Jedah watch the New York parade on the ipad.

“Will Elizabeth like pumpkin pie?”

Elaine asked as she began to make the pumpkin pie.

“To be honest, she has never tried it before, but there is always the first time.”

Jade said as she checked on the vegetables in the oven as well as on the cooking hob.

“Plus, that’s why I brought some yogurt and granola.  How long has the turkey got left?”

Jade asks as sits at the dining table, as she looks over at Lizzy as she watches the movie intently.

“Another 5 minutes.”

“The vegetables have about 5 minutes left, so perfect timing.”

Jade said looking at her watch.

“How is the parade going?”

Jade asked.

“Good, there are actually quite a lot of people there braving the cold.”

Erik said.

“It’s really an amazing sight if you are there.  Next year you can come to us and we’ll take you there.  Its an amazing experience to see the floats and balloons.”

Jedah said with a smile on his face.

The oven begins to beep, as Elaine heads over to the oven and turns it off, as well as the vegetables that sit on the hob, where she and Jade begin to prep and set the table for the thanksgiving dinner.

As Erik, disappears to wash up, as Jedah heads over to Lizzy and tells her dinner is ready and she reluctantly moves away from the TV and moves to the dinner table, as Jedah goes to wash up himself.

“Dinner is ready.”

The scene fades out with Jade and Elaine begins placing the food on the table, as Erik, Jedah and Lizzy come to the table and prepare to give their thanks and eat the food that sits in front of them.

Well this is quite unexpected to be back so soon… especially to be part of a tag team match as the prestigious 100th show.  Although I would prefer to be facing someone like Roxi again, but I am just happy to be wrestling on a big show.

So this tag team match… firstly my tag team partner for the evening; Crystal Hilton, the apparent veteran of the sport, so if this were the case then this team would be pretty damn great and should be able to beat The Fallen… right?

Wrong… Crystal I don’t really know you and you may have won all these titles, but so have I, but I don’t know how well you function in a tag team, you could be really good, or complete utter garbage,

So forgive me if I’m a little suspicious… because we all know that any actress, who ventures into wrestling, can’t act for shit. Just look at Liz Smalls… bargain bin Barbie, and to be honest, I never heard of any your movies.

So here is my plea… I don’t get in my way and I won’t get in yours, just focus on defeating The Fallen.

And speaking of which…

You two are quite an impressive unit and I and seems a little unfair that you two are going up against Crystal and myself… you two have years of experience together, but we have been forced together, not knowing what the hell is going to happen.

I guess you guys have big smiles plastered across your faces, thinking this match is going to be easy with easy pickings.

I mean Crystal could be… but I’m certainly not… I could have that slight disadvantage of not wrestling as often as you, however, you two or three, have only come back from a recent hiatus, so it might be pretty even, but we won’t know until we step inside the ring and lock up.

So if my partner decides to pull her head from her new boyfriends ass, then this match should turn out like this;

We have a good little battle, you have your shots and moments of domination and vice versa, and when the dust has settled after several near falls, Crystal and I will be the winners of this tag team match.

However, IF things doesn’t turn out like that, then you would be kicking our ass, but with some fight from me, but not sure if Crystal will be willing, however, I like the latter option of us winning and causing an upset.

So you see Raynin and Gothika, while you may have the upper edge and the years of experience, all that will come to an end, your days as a dominant force are numbered and Sunday night Crystal and I will be making a name for ourselves.
