Happy New YearFriday December 26th
Misty’s Home- Las Vegas
**OFF CAMERA**
Christmas had come and gone rather quickly. After a wonderful day spent with friends and family, and then O’Malley, Misty had found herself reverting back to her pessimistic attitude, but she didn’t understand why. She had been doing everything in her power over recent weeks to keep out of that attitude and be happy…truly happy. But as she was trying to clear her head, she had a supernatural encounter on Christmas night and it had changed everything.
Even still, O’Malley had spent the night; on her sofa of course, but he noticed a clear change in Misty’s mood.O’Malley: Everything okay, love? Ye’ve been awfully quiet since last night.
He walks up to Misty as she is making herself a cup of coffee. The scent of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll coffee being brewed in her Kuerig fills the air and she can’t wait to take the first sip of the delicious coffee.Misty: I’m fine.
O’Malley raises an eyebrow, reading right through the clear lie Misty has told. He walks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her a hug.O’Malley: That wasn’t very convincing, ye know. What’s going on?
Misty gently pushes O’Malley away. She doesn’t even bother turning around to face him. Her coffee finishes brewing and she stirs in some sugar and creamer as O’Malley stares at her, waiting for an answer.Misty: Nothing is going on, O’Malley. If I say I’m fine, it means that I’m fine.
O’Malley: Forgive me if I don’t believe ye. Ye were perfectly fine up until last night and now yer all…distant and moody.
Misty takes a sip of her coffee and savors the flavor. She takes in a deep breath and finally turns around, glaring at her mysterious Irishman.Misty: Moody? Gee, thanks for insulting me now, O’Malley.
O’Malley: I wasn’t insulting ye, love. I was making an observation.
Misty glares at him before she looks away and walks past him. She pulls one of the chairs away from her kitchen table and takes a seat. She looks out the window at her backyard, remembering her conversation with Frankie...or his ghost, last night. She looks down at her coffee cup with a sad expression on her face and O’Malley walks over to her.O’Malley: Something happened, Misty, and I have a right to know what the hell is going on.
Misty: You have a
right to know? You don’t have a right to know anything!
O’Malley shakes his head.O’Malley: No? So the fact that yer suddenly ready to bite me head off when last night ye were wrapped in me arms doesn’t give me the right to know?
Misty: Why are you so convinced that something happened? I’m
fine!
O’Malley: Why do ye do this stuff, Misty?
Misty looks up at O’Malley curiously. She sets her coffee down on the table in front of her.Misty: What stuff?
O’Malley: Push people away. Something is bothering ye and ye won’t let me help ye. Ye won’t let Roxi or Melody help ye.
Misty laughs and shakes her head. She spins her cup of coffee and just stares at it.Misty: This has nothing to do with Melody or Roxi. They
have helped me, O’Malley. Or are you completely blind to how I look now?
O’Malley laughs and shakes his head.O’Malley: How could I be blind to the fact that ye look amazing? But that’s not what I’m talking about. Sure, ye’ve come around to the new look, but ye still revert back to this depressed mood all the time. Nothing is ever good enough for ye these days.
Misty: Why do you care? I never asked you to stay around. You’re more than welcome to leave anytime, O’Malley.
O’Malley: I’m not leaving ye, love. Being alone isn’t going to help ye any.
Misty: Yeah, well having you people nagging me all the time doesn’t seem to help me any either, does it?
O’Malley takes in a deep breath as Misty snaps at him. She takes another sip of her coffee and he takes a seat in the chair across from her. O’Malley: Because ye won’t
talk to any of us. How many times has Roxi offered a listening ear? How many times has she offered to help ye, but ye shut her out? I’m not telling ye to talk to me if ye don’t want to, but surely Roxi or Melody can help ye in some way. They are women after all.
Misty shakes her head.Misty: That might be true, O’Malley, but it’s not that simple. I can figure things out on my own without people constantly bugging me.
O’Malley: Maybe ye used to be able to do that, love, but it’s clear ye can’t anymore. If ye won’t talk to me, can ye do me a favor and at least talk to Roxi or Melody? They want to help ye, love.
Misty: I know they do, O’Malley, but maybe that’s the problem. Maybe I
can’t be helped this time?
O’Malley leans back in his chair and stares at Misty disappointedly. He folds his arms across his chest and lets out a sigh.O’Malley: With that attitude ye can’t. Ye need to open up and let people in. I know ye want to. I know ye want to end this year on a high note and start the New Year out with a smile on yer face, love. That’s why ye booked us that trip back to Ireland, isn’t it?
Misty frowns as she thinks about the answer. O’Malley tilts his head, again disappointed.Misty: I…I don’t know, O’Malley. I need to get away, I know that much. I just…I don’t want us to go to Ireland with you expecting certain things, but you getting disappointed in the end. I don’t want to lead you on about anything, O’Malley.
O’Malley: Yer not leading—
Misty suddenly holds up her hand, silencing him before he can finish. She stares at him with sad eyes.Misty: I think it’s best if we spend a few days apart. Before this trip to Ireland. I need sometime alone to think and clear my head, and I can’t do that with you around.
O’Malley: Yer regretting booking this trip, aren’t ye? I told ye—
Misty: I know what you told me, O’Malley. And I’d still like to go. I just need to make sure I know what the whole point of the trip is. I want us to be on the same page.
O’Malley: We don’t have to go, ye know. Ye got the SCW World Tour coming up. Ye can use the flight for something else.
Misty smiles and nods.Misty: I know that, but as I said…I really would like to go back to Ireland. I just…need to figure things out. Alone.
O’Malley: Are ye sure that’s the best idea, love?
Misty nods again.Misty: Right now, yes.
O’Malley sighs and takes in a deep breath. He pushes himself away from the table and stands up.O’Malley: I hope ye figure things out, love. Not for selfish reasons, either. But for you. No one should be in the dark place yer in right now. Especially not someone as kind hearted as ye are. I hope ye know that, love.
She smiles up at him, but it is a half-hearted, broken smile.Misty: Thank you, O’Malley. For everything.
He walks over to her and runs his hand down her cheek, then along her chin. She closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath.O’Malley: Ye need to find happiness again, love. The sooner ye realize that, the sooner ye can move on with yer life and find it. Or realize that it’s standing right in front of ye.
Misty fights back tears as O’Malley speaks these words to her. She turns her head and looks away from him and he looks towards the door.O’Malley: I’ll let meself out then.
He shakes his head and heads towards the front door. He grabs his bag from by the front door, then heads out, quietly closing the door behind him. Once he is out of the house, Misty looks towards the door, and she starts crying. For so mean reasons. She and O’Malley were scheduled to leave for Ireland in just four days and she has a lot to figure out.
If she wanted to end her year from hell and start out 2015 on a happy note, she had to figure things out quick. Otherwise, things were never going to get better.
Monday December 29th
**OFF CAMERA**Three days have passed since Misty has seen or spoken to O’Malley. He has followed her wishes, given her the space she claimed she needed, though it remains to be seen if the time alone actually helped the struggling former bombshell champion. And with the card for Inception being announced just yesterday, she had even more on her mind now.
In just two weeks’ time, she would be teaming with Melody Grace to take on the Mean Girls’ combination of Veronica Taylor and the newest member, Amanda Cortez. It was a match Misty wasn’t expecting, and right now, she’s not even sure she truly wanted it, but she would do everything in her power to not let Melody Grace down and work to defeat her next Mean Girls challenge.
As for right now, though, Misty knows that a conversation with O’Malley is in order. They are supposed to leave for Ireland in just twenty-four hours, and he had no idea if the trip was even still on. So Misty sent him a text just a short while ago, asking him to come over. He responded quickly, saying he was on his way.
She’s waiting on her front porch for the Irishman to arrive. Her knees are tucked in close to her chest and she’s wearing a light jacket when his rental car pulls into her driveway. He kills the engine a few moments later, then steps out.Misty: Looking handsome as ever, O’Malley.
O’Malley smirks as Misty takes note of his black jeans and black leather jacket. He walks up to her, just as she gets back to her feet and the two stand just inches away from each other.O’Malley: In a better mood I see?
Misty shrugs.Misty: Yes and no. I’m sorry about the other day, O’Malley.
O’Malley shakes his head with a smile.O’Malley: No need to apologize, love. I know yer going through a rough time right now. I just wish ye would let…someone…help ye.
Misty chuckles and folds her arms.Misty: No, want you really wish is that I would let
you help me. I know you said that you want me to let Melody and Roxi help me, but I know it’s bugging you that I’ve been pushing you away every chance I get.
The blank expression on O’Malley’s face proves that he can’t deny Misty’s last statement. He doesn’t say a thing, however, as Misty continues.Misty: I’m struggling, O’Malley…big time. I’m trying my hardest to figure out what the hell I want out of everything these days, and it’s a lot harder than I thought. I won’t deny that you’re a great guy, and you’re exactly what I need to start over…start fresh…
O’Malley: I’m not pushing anything on ye, love. Ye know that, right?
Misty nods and smiles.Misty: I know, and I can’t tell you how thankful I am or that. I just…I can’t promise you anything, O’Malley. I know you say you’ll wait as long as you need to, but I’m telling you not to, because you could be waiting for a very long time.
O’Malley: Ye say that, love, but ye know it isn’t true. Ye’ve made a lot of progress over the last few months.
Misty: In some ways, yes. In others, not so much. But I think that this trip to Ireland—
O’Malley: …is a mistake. It’s okay—
Misty shakes her head and brings her finger up to O’Malley’s lips, shushing him.Misty: For Christ’s sake, O’Malley, would you let me finish?
She pulls her hand away and he remains silent, letting her speak.Misty: I think that this trip to Ireland will do me a lot of good. It did wonders for me last time, which is why I want to go back. And I’d still like you to come with me…
O’Malley thinks for a moment as Misty waits for him to say something…anything. He finally takes a step back when he breaks his silence.O’Malley: I…I really don’t think that’s a good idea anymore, love. Ye don’t really want—
Misty takes a step forward towards him, and takes his hands in hers. It is a move that silences him and she looks into his eyes.Misty: Please, O’Malley? Don’t back out on me. You say you want to help me? This is how you can help me. I need a distraction from all the craziness in my life. I need to have a good time before this world tour kicks off and I have to get back to the chaos that is my life. I need a break, but I’m saying I need your help.
O’Malley: Yer sure, love? I don’t want ye to think I’m forcing or guilting ye into doing anything ye don’t want to do.
She smiles and shakes her head.Misty: I’m sure. I booked this trip for us, O’Malley. I’m not changing my mind. Please tell me you still want to go with me.
He thinks for a moment, and just as it appears that he has changed his mind and is going to turn her down, he smiles. He leans down and brings his lips to hers. When he backs away, she has her eyes closed and stands there, frozen.O’Malley: Of course I’ll go with ye, love. I can’t think of a better way to start out the New Year than with ye in Ireland.
Misty smiles then opens her eyes.Misty: Glad to hear it, O’Malley. Though, I wouldn’t have blamed you if you decided not to go with me. I’ve given you every reason to run from me for being a crazy bitch.
O’Malley chuckles and shakes his head.O’Malley: Some of us like crazy, love. Crazy isn’t always a bad thing.
Misty: In my case, I think it is. But…I think I’ll get through it. It might take a while, but I’ll get past this mess.
O’Malley: I’ll make sure to keep ye to yer word, love.
Misty again smiles and takes O’Malley’s hand.Misty: Want to head inside? I’m not finished packing yet, but I could save that until later anyway. I have a bottle of wine for me and some Guinness in the fridge for you if you want it.
O’Malley grins then kisses the back of her hand.O’Malley: Now how could I turn down Guinness? Ye know the way to me heart, love.
Misty: Your Irish. You’re not that hard to figure out.
The two share a laugh.O’Malley: That is true, love. Now let’s head back inside. It’s starting to feel a little colder out here.
Misty smiles, now in a better mood, as the two head inside and she closes the door behind them.
Tuesday December 30th
Dublin, Ireland
The Merrion Hotel
**OFF CAMERA**<img src=http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/98243/MerrionPH08141.jpg>The flight from Las Vegas to Dublin was a long one, and that was putting it lightly. After over fourteen hours and a couple of stops, Misty and O’Malley had finally made it to Dublin and checked into the five star Merrion Hotel.
O’Malley opens the door to their suite, allowing Misty to step in first. She had done hear research on this hotel before she booked the trip, but she was still awestruck by its extravagance. She stares around the room with wide eyes as O’Malley follows behind her, carrying their bags.Misty: This…this is even more amazing than the pictures I saw.
O’Malley: I told ye. It’s expensive for a reason, love. I would have been perfectly happy back at the little Inn ye stayed at a few months ago…
He sets their bags down on the king sized bed as Misty makes her way to the window. She pulls the curtain to the side, looking out at the city surrounding them and she smiles.Misty: I would have, too, but it wouldn’t have been the same. I needed to treat myself…
She turns around and smiles at O’Malley as he looks at her with a raised eyebrow.Misty: …and you also. You can’t tell me this place isn’t gorgeous.
O’Malley: No, it is. I knew it was. I still say ye spent too much.
Misty: I don’t care what you say, O’Malley. This trip was for me just as much as much as it was for you. Quit making such a big deal about how much I spent.
O’Malley shrugs, but he smiles, taking her word.O’Malley: Oh I’m not making a big deal about it, love. As I said before, it’s only making me work that much harder to get ye something special in return.
Misty smirks and shakes her head.Misty: You being here with me is special enough. Now, can we please not talk about it?
O’Malley raises his eyebrow, looking at her with a devious grin.O’Malley: I’m fine with that, love. But what exactly do ye want to do instead?
Misty: Don’t look at me like that, O’Malley.
O’Malley: Like what?
Misty: You know what. The only thing I plan on doing tonight is getting plenty of sleep. Right after I take a hot shower.
A disappointed frown appears on O’Malley’s face but it fades quickly as he lets out a laugh. Misty starts rummaging through her bag and O’Malley plops down on the bed, making himself comfortable.Misty: I’ll be out in a bit.
O’Malley: I’ll still be here, love.
Misty laughs, then turns and disappears into the bathroom. O’Malley places his hands behind his head and looks around at the luxurious room. Once he hears the water running in the shower, he bolts up from the bed and starts going through his own bag. He finds what he is looking for, pulling out a small square ring box, staring at it with a smile. He tucks it safely back into his bag before moving it over to a chair, along with Misty’s bag. He returns to his spot on the bed and closes his eyes as he waits for Misty.
New Year’s Eve- 11:30 P.M
**OFF CAMERA**Misty and O’Malley have been in Dublin for less than twenty-four hours. They will officially ring in 2015 in just thirty minutes, and Misty is determined to start the year out right. Being in Ireland has already helped tremendously as she’s only focusing about the here and now. She and O’Malley are out in the festivities in Dublin, dancing and having a genuinely good time.
As Misty dances to the various Celtic music and the smile on her face grows each second, O’Malley stares at her. A smile grows on his face as he watches her.O’Malley: I’m glad you’re having a good time, love!
O’Malley has to almost shout because the music is so loud. Misty turns around when she hears his voice, giving him a warm smile.Misty: I am, too, O’Malley! I seriously never expected Ireland to be this fun!
O’Malley: It’s not as overrated as some people think it is. Expensive, maybe…Overrated? Not so much.
Misty: I’m telling you, O’Malley…I would love to live here someday. I really would!
Misty grabs O’Malley by the hand, pulling him closer to her. She continues to dance, trying to get him to dance with her, but he has an awkward look on his face as he stands where he is. Misty stops dancing for a moment, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.Misty: What? What’s wrong?
O’Malley shakes his head.O’Malley: Nothing is wrong, love. It’s just really good to see ye smiling and having a good time.
Misty: Stop. Please don’t remind me of what a miserable bitch I’ve been lately.
O’Malley laughs and shakes his head. He leads her a safe distance away from the music so they don’t need to shout and raise their voices.O’Malley: That’s not what I’m doing, love. It’s actually only making my gift to ye that much more special.
Misty tilts her head and looks at him curiously.Misty: Gift? O’Malley, I told you that you didn’t—
Misty’s eyes widen and she goes into a stunned silence as O’Malley pulls out the small ring box from his jacket. She blinks and stands in front of him frozen. He holds the ring box up, but doesn’t open it right away as he smiles at her.O’Malley: Before ye say anything else, I know ye said I didn’t have to do get ye anything or pay ye back for paying for this trip for the two of us, but I did anyway. Ye say ye’ve been a miserable bitch? That might be true, but that doesn’t mean ye don’t deserve something special.
Misty: O’Malley…w-what is that?
O’Malley grins and holds the ring box out to her, insisting she take it. She shakes her head briefly, almost afraid to open it. O’Malley is forced to take her hand, turn it over and place the box in her hand.O’Malley: If ye open it, ye’ll see what it is. It’s probably not what yer thinking, either.
Misty stares at the box that is now shaking in her hand.Misty: Look…whatever is in this box, O’Malley…I..I can’t accept it.
O’Malley: Nonsense, love. Ye
can accept it and ye will. Please, just open it.
Misty closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath, preparing for the worst(?). With her eyes still closed, she slowly opens the box, but doesn’t open her eyes right away. O’Malley laughs and shakes his head in amusement and Misty finally opens her eyes and immediately they widen at the beautiful ring O’Malley bought for her.Misty: Oh my…
She stares at the 14k white gold Irish Claddagh ring with an emerald stone set in the middle, completely lost for words. O’Malley smiles, happy with her reaction.O’Malley: See? I’m not proposing to ye, love.
Misty manages to crack a smile and even let out a slight laugh as she stares at the ring. After a few moments, she looks up at O’Malley, shaking her head in amazement.Misty: O’Malley…this is too much…
O’Malley shakes his head.O’Malley: This coming from the woman who spend how much on a trip and fancy hotel room in Ireland? It’s still nowhere near what ye spent, I’m sure, so stop saying that. Now, do ye know what kind of ring this is?
Misty nods.Misty: I’ve seen similar rings before, but nothing this fancy.
O’Malley chuckles.O’Malley: It’s a Claddagh ring. Symbolizes love and friendship. A sort of promise ring if ye want to consider it that.
Misty: O’Malley…
O’Malley brings his finger to her lips, silencing her.O’Malley: That ring symbolizes a promise from me to you that I’ll be whatever ye need me to be, even if all ye need me to be is yer best friend. I’ll always be here for ye.
Misty stands there, still shocked, as she stares at the ring. She processes every word O’Malley has just spoken to her, and his promise to her, and she’s only snapped back to reality as the music dies down behind them, and the Irish crowd begins their countdown. 2015 is just moments away…Irish Crowd: Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…Six…Five…Four…Three…Two...
O’Malley looks down at Misty with a big smile.Irish Crowd: One….HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
O’Malley: Happy New Year, love.
Fireworks can be heard going off in the background as everyone starts their celebration. Couples celebrate with their first kiss of the New Year and Misty finally manages to crack a huge smile, wrapping her arms around O’Malley and looking up into his eyes.Misty: Happy New Year, O’Malley.
O’Malley doesn’t even need to ask for permission as he leans down and brings his lips to hers and they share a New Years’ kiss. Misty clutches the Claddagh ring in her hand as she lets the kiss linger. The two are nearly oblivious to the celebrating going on around them, as they are only focused on one another.
Two hours later…
It is only two hours into the New Year, and it is already off to a great start for SCW’s Original Bombshell and her Irish boy toy, O’Malley. They’ve spent the last few hours out and around in Dublin, involved in various festivities, and after dancing the night away, the two have decided to call it a night. They’re just getting back to their hotel room, still smiling and in an overall good mood as O’Malley opens the door for the center of his affection.O’Malley: After ye, m’lady.
Misty laughs and rolls her eyes.Misty: I’m more than capable of opening the door myself, O’Malley. You don’t need to help me every single time.
O’Malley grins as Misty walks inside and he follows behind her.O’Malley: I know that, love, but I’m a little old fashioned. I didn’t think there was a problem with that.
Misty laughs and shakes her head.Misty: I never said there was. I was just letting you know.
She walks over to the dresser, setting her purse down before she turns and heads over to her suitcase. She takes out her pajamas for the night before turning to address O’Malley.Misty: I’m gonna go change out of this dress. I’ll be right out.
O’Malley: Take yer time, love.
Misty then disappears into the bathroom to change. She doesn’t close the door all the way, however, as she will only be a few minutes at most. She sets her pajamas down on the counter next to the sink, and then looks in the mirror. She focuses on the smile on her face and then her attention is drawn to the ring O’Malley had given her earlier.
The shiny Irish Claddagh ring is placed comfortably on the ring finger of her right hand and as she brings her hand up to study the ring closer, she smiles even brighter. She looks at herself in the mirror again, then closes her eyes, taking in a deep breath before she turns and quietly walks out of the bathroom.
O’Malley is on the other side of the bed, wearing nothing but his boxers. Misty stares at his back and smiles again as she heads over to him. She sneaks up on him, wrapping her arms his waist, startling him in the process.O’Malley: Yer lucky I’m not naked, love. I wasn’t expecting ye to change so quickly.
Misty chuckles as O’Malley spins around. He looks confused as she’s still wearing the dress from their night out.O’Malley: Are ye planning on sleeping in that dress? I mean, I’ve got no problem with it, but it seems just a bit—
Misty brings her finger up to O’Malley’s lips, silencing him. He raises an eyebrow as he looks down at her, taking note of the grin on her face, and she shakes her head.Misty: No, I don’t plan on sleeping in this dress, O’Malley. But…I seem to be having a little trouble getting out of this dress and thought maybe
you could help me out of it.
O’Malley seems genuinely surprised to hear this, and he tries to speak, but he’s lost on what to say. Misty wraps her arms around him once again, keeping her eyes locked on his.Misty: There’s no reason to delay this any longer, O’Malley. I…I want this. I’m ready to move on, O’Malley. I’m ready to be with you.
O’Malley: Are…are ye sure, love? Don’t think ye need to do this just to make me happy.
Misty: It’s for me just as much as it is for you, O’Malley. I need to start this year off right, and being with you…It feels right now.
O’Malley goes silent for a few moments as he thinks things through. Misty helps to speed up his decision as she reaches behind her and starts to slowly unzip her dress, then bringing his hand to the zipper. She looks up at him, her eyes telling him to make the next move, and he does. He unzips her dress the rest of the way and brings his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Her dress falls to the floor as they take a few steps back and collapse on to the bed.
”Once again, this trip to Ireland has done exactly what I intended it to do. It’s given me a distraction…even a temporary one…from all of the chaos and negativity that has been surrounding me the last few months. There have been times where I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to just sit back and have a good time and forget about all of the bad crap that has been thrown at me this year.”
“But O’Malley has helped me. Now that I actually let him.”
“In the days before this trip, I was having major second thoughts. I’ve known what O’Malley has wanted for quite some time, and I wasn’t sure if even after this trip to Ireland, that I would be able to return the feelings. But then he gave me that ring, and my opens were immediately opened. I still have a lot to work through and get over, but I’m done pushing O’Malley away. I’m not letting him get away because he wants to be a part of my life.”
“But now it’s time to think about the week ahead…the match ahead. I once again find myself going against The Mean Girls, though this time with Melody Grace as my tag team partner. For the most part, I’ve been successful in this war against the Mean Girls, but it’s no secret that the one victory I needed…the one win that mattered the most…I couldn’t get.”
“My feud with Delia took a lot out of me. Hell, it probably took everything out of me. It’s very clear that I haven’t been the same since, and not just because I lost to her. It’s because of how personal that war got, and the lengths that both of us went to destroy each other. In the end, though, she wore me down and destroyed me more than I ever thought possible.”
“She went after my daughter, using her as a pawn. She destroyed my relationship with Drake. She used my miscarriage two years ago against me and she took every opportunity she had to insult me and degrade me. And in the end…she won.”
“But it’s not over. Not yet. You see, while she has moved on to her next challenge...if you want to call Necra that…I’ve had to sit back and figure out my next move…my next challenge. And it seems that the bosses feel that Veronica Taylor and Amanda Cortez are just the challenge for Melody and me.”
“I haven’t quite decided how I feel about this match, but if there is one thing that I know, it’s that I will NOT let Melody down. I know what to expect from Veronica and Amanda. I know that cheating to win is not past them, so I can’t deny that Melody and I may very well lose this match.”
“But not because of our performance.”
“I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure that Melody and I walk away with the win. Veronica and Amanda better understand that WHEN Melody and I win…there will be no excuses. We’re ready for them…Plain and simple.”
Saturday January 3rd
Birmingham, England
Birmingham International AirportMost of the SCW superstars and Bombshells are not scheduled to start arriving in England for a few days, but after spending a successful few days in Ireland, Misty and O’Malley have decided to head to England a little early. Misty thought that by doing so she would avoid any excess traffic that SCW’s first stop on their World Tour was sure to bring. Sadly, she was wrong.
After exiting the plane, the two are smiling as they walk through the airport to the exit. O’Malley is carrying their carry-on bags, as well as pulling his suitcase behind him, while Misty has her own rolling suitcase in tow. The two are hand-in-hand, seemingly in the best mood anyone has ever seen them in.
As they walk out the exit, they’re met but an eager reporter and photographer. The photographer snaps a picture of the two holding hands. Misty glares at them, but O’Malley seems more confused than anything.Misty: What the…Who the hell are you people?
The smiling reporter extends her hand for a handshake, though Misty does not accept. She stands in front of the young woman, with her arms folded.Reporter: I’m sorry, where are my manners? My name is Samantha. I’m a local reporter doing a story on Sin City Wrestling’s World Tour.
Misty chuckles as a cab pulls up in front of them and O’Malley takes their luggage. Samantha eyes O’Malley with an approving grin.Misty: Samantha, I’m sure you’re a nice girl and all, but if you think being a reporter and having manners are something that go together, you’re mistaken. And if I were you, I would tell your photographer to not take any more pictures unless I give him permission.
Just because Misty said that, the photographer snaps another picture. Misty glares at him, but Samantha turns to him and shakes her head, telling him to stop for now. He shrugs and just minds his own business.Samantha: I’m sorry about that. I know the kind of reputation reporters tend to get, but I’m not like that. Or I try not to be.
Samantha’s thick English accent shines through, and Misty just nods, trying to be understanding.Misty: Forgive me for being a bit rude, but I’m a little surprised you’re even here. I was trying to fly under the radar honestly, and I wasn’t expecting to walk into an unplanned photoshoot.
Samantha lets out a laugh.Samantha: Well, I’m pretty intuitive. I got word that you’d be arriving today so I just had to be here. Though I’m a little surprised you were trying to fly under the radar. Wanting to hide that sexy Irishman of yours?
O’Malley is leaning against the cab and he grins. He chooses to stay out of the conversation, however, and Misty just smiles at him.Misty: I haven’t been hiding him since I’ve known him have I? To be quite honest, the reason I was trying to lay low, was to avoid the chaos as long as possible.
Samantha: Is that even possible? I mean, working for Sin City Wrestling after all. Chaos tends to follow you guys around, right?
Misty nods slightly in response. She runs her right hand through her hair and Samantha’s eyes widen as she spots the ring O’Malley gave to Misty.Samantha: Oh…my…gosh! Is that…is that what I think it is?!
Misty raises a curious eyebrow and she looks to O’Malley. He points to his own finger as if telling her Samantha spotted the ring. Misty looks to the Claddagh ring.Misty: I don’t know. What do you think it is, Samantha?
Samantha: He popped the question! That was fast! I mean, you two have only known each other—
Misty shakes her head and holds up her hand, silencing the eager young reporter immediately. O’Malley is now chuckling as he continues to stay out of the conversation.Misty: Does it look like this ring is on my left hand, Samantha?
Misty flashes her right hand again, showing off the ring again.Misty: Right hand, Samantha. And no, he did not
pop the question. It’s an Irish Claddagh ring, not an engagement ring.
Samantha: That’s sort of like a promise ring, right? So, a promise that an engagement ring is in your future?
Samantha winks, then turns around and winks at O’Malley. He just smiles politely and shakes his head with a laugh. The photographer, meanwhile, snaps a picture of the ring on Misty’s finger and after he does this, Misty places her hand behind her back.Misty: It doesn’t matter what it symbolizes, Samantha. It was a gift and that’s all you need to know. Now, are you done? I’d really like to get to my hotel.
Samantha: This is so amazing! Melody Grace gets married and you receive a promise ring all in the same week! Love is in the air!
Misty laughs and shakes her head.Misty: I hate to break it to you, sweetie, but there is no love involved with Melody’s marriage to J2H.
Samantha: Are you sure about that? You’ve been known to act as if you know everything about everyone, and I don’t really think you know anything about you new bestie’s situation. And are you saying that
your situation has love involved?
Misty closes her eyes and takes in a deep, annoyed breath. She opens her eyes again and stares directly at Samantha.Misty: Look, Samantha, I know you’re looking to get as much information as you possibly can out of me, but I think we’re done here.
Samantha: You can’t leave! Not yet! I haven’t even had a chance to talk to you about your match yet.
Samantha frowns disappointedly and Misty just rolls her eyes. She had a gut feeling there was more to Samantha than meets the eye.Misty: What is there to talk about? Melody and I are going to beat Veronica and Amanda, no problem. Write a story about that.
Samantha laughs.Samantha: I really admire your confidence, but forgive me if I don’t really think that will happen. The Mean Girls have been on a roll the past few supercards.
Misty: You’re point? They haven’t faced Melody or me in those Supercards.
Samantha shakes her head.Samantha: No, but Delia did, and I don’t see the Bombshell Title in your possession right now.
Misty narrows her eyes, not pleased at all with Samantha bringing up her loss to Delia.Misty: You’re right. I lost to Delia. But Veronica and Amanda are not Delia, now are they?
Samantha: But they are Mean Girls.
Misty: That means nothing to me, Samantha. Just because they are in the same group as Delia, doesn’t mean they are as
*gulps* good, as she is. If they were,
they would be the Bombshell Champion, not her.
Samantha nods again.Samantha: I can’t argue with you there, but it really is hard to consider you and Melody Grace at an advantage when the Mean Girls have quite the track record.
Misty: You’re right, they do, but that doesn’t matter to me. If I’m honest, I don’t give a crap about winning this match. I’m more focused on beating the crap out of those two dimwitted daisies. Anyone can win a match, Samantha. It’s
how you win that makes it something to brag about.
Over by the cab, O’Malley clears his throat loudly.O’Malley: I hate to interrupt you, love, but I think the driver is getting a bit impatient.
Misty: I’ll be right there, O’Malley.
She turns her attention back to Samantha.Misty: You heard the man, Samantha. I’d
love to stick around and chat, but we have things to do. Good luck with any other superstars or Bombshells you come across, Samantha. Some of them might not be as polite as I am.
Samantha: Thanks, but I’m sure I’ll manage just fine.
Misty shakes her head with an amused smile. She sighs and then joins O’Malley. He holds the door open for her, then slides into the backseat next to her. A few moments later the car drives away. Samantha and the photographer watch as it disappears away from the airport and Samantha has a devious smile on her face.
”Well, here I am again. Another match against a Mean Girl, or girls as it is once again this time. I have to admit, I am getting quite tired and bored of facing the Mean Girls. Who wouldn’t get tired of facing a bunch of women who throw out the same *air quotes* insults every single day of every single week. And, of course their heads are too full of air to even realize it.”
“When I think of the Mean Girls, I think of a self-help group of women who are so down on themselves, they just get together and degrade, insult and treat everyone else like crap instead of seeing beauty and positivity in everyone. They need to prove to themselves that they are as beautiful and amazing as they say they are, when in reality, it makes THEM the ugly ones. It’s really quite sad.”
“I won’t sit here and claim that I have never spoken badly about anyone before, because that would be a lie. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and treated people horribly, but I own up to those mistakes. I’ve apologized over and over again, and I can admit when I’m wrong.”
“The Mean Girls can’t…and they probably never will. And the most pathetic part about it? They claim to be ‘so nice’ in treating people the way they do. Sorry, ladies, but you’re so very very wrong.”
“Veronica, I’m going to speak directly to you right now. I won’t waste much of my time focusing on you, because I’ve already proven a few times that I can beat you…that I’m better than you. Not to mention, I think Melody Grace has it out for you more than I do, sweetie. You might have gotten lucky beating her last time, but let me tell you, you lit a fire under her ass that I don’t think can be put out.”
“Veronica, I feel sorry for you. I really do. Your self-image has gotten so horrible and negative, that I really don’t see a way to salvage it at this point. You of all people should understand the way you treat people is wrong, because you used to be a little…chunky, for lack of better word. You were so down on yourself and couldn’t see the true physically beauty in yourself, so you had to do what so many other women do and adapt to the views of society…the views of The Mean Girls.”
“Let me ask you something, Veronica. And I want you to think long and hard about this one. You’re with Giani Di Luca now. You went and turned into a home-wrecking slut, doing exactly what Delia did in fact. My sister was happy with Giani, and I thought he was happy with her as well, but that is a conversation saved for another time. My question to you is this…Do you think Giani would be with you right now had you not lost the weight? Do you really believe he truly loves you? Because he doesn’t…and he’ll do to you what he did to my sister.”
“You’ll find out soon enough and I’m sure you’ll be so heartbroken, you’ll do exactly what you degrade others for doing. You’ll probably turn to the tubs of ice cream and gain back all the weight you’ve lost because you’ll be so heartbroken. We’ve all been there, Veronica. You’re just too stubborn to admit it. Oh well…not my problem. Don’t think I’m not gunning for you, though, Veronica. You played a hand in hurting my sister and I plan to get vengeance for her. Trust that.”
“But enough about the fat camp graduate, yeah? I think it’s time to move on to her tickle fetish freak partner, Amanda Cortez. The real one I’m gunning for in this match. The one I really want to beat, because let’s face it, her over-confidence in believing she actually stands a chance in kicking my ass is laughable.”
“Amanda, I don’t know what planet you’re from, because you’re apparently not from Earth. Ninety percent of the time, when you’re speaking to someone, I can’t even understand what it is you’re trying to say. I’m sure you’re used to moments where people just nod and say ‘uh huh’ when you’re talking to them, but that’s not because they agree with you, sweetie. It’s because they’re so bored of hearing you speak or they can’t figure out what you’re saying, so they play nice and go along with it.”
“Let me also break something to you, sweetie. Everyone notices how many questions you answer from your ask account, but honey, don’t you realize that a lot of those questions are from creepy perverts who are sitting in their chairs with a big tissue supply as they get handy with themselves? You consider yourself so tough and intimidating, yet you’re too stupid to realize what you’re doing by answering all those questions.”
“Oh, and let’s not forget you answers WAY too many questions, sweetheart. Our timelines get flooded by all those disgusting questions you answer, and for what? Enjoyment? You seriously just need to stop, girly.”
“I’ve done the smart thing though, Amanda, by ignoring you as much as possible lately. Every once in a while you’ll pop up and throw out another grade school level insult my way, but do you really think I’d let something like that bother me? Do you really think I’m going to cry because you call me ‘ugly fat Misty’ on Twitter? Do you realize how completely moronic you look when you try and insult me like that? It’s pathetic.”
“And you say the same thing to everyone. Your self-esteem must be just as non-existent as Veronica’s because you seem to live for putting other people down. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you act the way you do?”
“I have to admit though, I am afraid to face you for one reason. But, it’s not for the reason I am sure you are thinking. No, I’m afraid to beat the crap out of you because to me, it’s going to be like I’m beating up a child. That’s exactly what you and Veronica are. Children trapped in full grown women’s bodies.”
“I’m going to enjoy beating you, Amanda. I don’t expect that even AFTER it happens that you or Veronica will admit that Melody and I are better than you. I have no doubt that you’ll come up with whatever excuse you can for the failure you’re going to experience on Sunday, but once all is said and done, I’m through with you ladies. I’m not going to waste any more of my time trying to drill it into your heads, because it’ll only be like talking to a brick wall.”
“Amanda, the only way you and Veronica will win this match is if you do what people have come to expect you to do…cheat. Or if one of your Mean Girls ‘sisters’ gets involved and tries to cost us the match. If you were smart, which you’re not, you’d suggest they all stay out of this because it’ll only make you all look worse. It will only make you look like the scared, weak little GIRLS you truly are. I emphasize girls, because me? I’m a woman, Amanda.”
“You ladies might enjoy parading around going by the name Mean Girls, but I would much rather be considered a woman than a girl. Being a woman entitles us to a sense of maturity that none of you possess, and you clearly never will.”
“My almost seven year old daughter is more mature than you ladies will ever be, but I’ve already said that more times than I count on my fingers and toes. Yet you Mean Girls have no problem being the repetitive robots that you are.”
“So Amanda…Veronica…it all comes down to Inception. It all comes down to Sunday. Melody and I are more than ready and able to defeat you and we’re going to do everything in our power to make sure that happens. We’ve got the motivation, but we also have something you never will.”
“Support and encouragement from the fans. There’s no better feeling in this business than to know the fans are cheering you on and want to see you win. And Melody and I…we don’t plan to disappoint the fans. We’re going to do what we do best…something you ladies don’t do very often.”
“Win.”
“And you two deserve the beating that will be handed to you with no remorse…no regrets.”
“See you at Inception, ladies.”
