Oh, yes, it's Ladies' Night And the feeling's right Oh, yes, it's Ladies' Night Oh, what a night
“NO!” screams both Alanah and Mattie from their respective seats in the car. Alanah in front, Mattie in the back. The Unholy Trinity of PWS is out trying to find a place to paint the town.
“Something from this decade please!” Mattie screeches.
“Christ, ok fine you pick!” Bella says throwing her non-driving hand up in the air
I'm comin' up so you better you better get this party started
“YOU SAID THIS DECADE!!!!” Bella laughs, “2001. Though I do love this song.”
“Alright alright...how bout...”
A low familiar bass beat hits and all three girls begin to groove along and sing along....
“This hit, that ice cold Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold This one for them hood girls Them good girls straight masterpieces Stylin', wilin', livin' it up in the city Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent Gotta kiss myself, I'm so pretty”
“Mamis, I’m gonna be honest with you...I have a feeling trying to find a place to have a girl’s night away from our guys is just not happening.”
“GAH this sucks! We finally get this amazing chance to just kick back away from the hotel and this virus has us all fuckin’ paranoid!” Bella shakes her head, “Maybe we should just stop at a liquor store, pick up a bunch of wine and crash in one of the rooms.”
“NO! This is supposed to be a night away from the guys and talk about wedding stuff and not have the guys constantly looking over our shoulders to make sure we’re on our best behaviors.” Alanah says, “There has to be someplace we can go where we can do all of that without risking the chance of my brother seeing Mattie’s drawing.”
“LANAH!” Mattie yells like she just spilled a giant secret.
“I’m sorry!” Alanah covers her face as Bella glances over to them with a look of shock.
“What is so special about this drawing? What is it?....My dress?”
Mattie glares at Alanah before she sighs, “You’ll see it soon enough. We still need to find a place to just go and chill.”
“Well....what about the bar back at the hotel?” Bella smirks as she comes up to a stop light, “At least there I don’t have to play designated driver, we’ll know Lanah is safe and it’s still not in close contact with the boys that any important information gets revealed but close enough that if we need em, they can be there in a second. It’s bad enough we really didn’t have a chance to celebrate Lanah’s birthday like we should have, and after hearing Mal and Jack bitching non-stop about one another for two weeks straight, I could use several drinks.”
Silence fills the car for a moment as they all look at each other, “Turn left.” Alanah says as Bella giggles hitting her turn signal.
Few Hours Later
Laughter fills the table at the hotel bar from the three girls who are currently in the middle/end of their third bottle of wine, “I swear, the look on my brother’s faces was worth it. My da just standing there, glaring at them as they are just head to toe COVERED in heaven knows what. He turned the hose on ‘em right then and there.”
That brings another round of laughter from them. And then Alanah stops and looks sad....
“Hey...” Bella nudges her a bit, she knows that look. It’s the same she sees on Mal’s face when he gets to thinking about him.
“Sorry just...that was just about a month before he...” she sniffs for a moment, “I miss him so much and it was so long ago. I’m just glad that Mal and Lach got it out of their systems. I hated that they were fighting all the time.”
“Yeah but...not anymore. Now we get to deal with Mal and Jack. AGAIN!” Mattie just shakes her head, “I wish your mom just locked them in a room.”
“Yeah I get what she’s doing though,” Bella says, pouring her friends another glass before tapping out bottle 3.
“Hey Bella?”
“Yeah?” she says finishing off the bottle in her own glass.
“Tell me about yer dad.”
“Who Nick? He’s awesome, we’d play video games all the time, he’d show me all these cool things to do so I could turn around and beat Jack.” she laughs.
“Nooooo you’re other dad.”
“David?”
“NOOOOO....” Alanah shaking her head trying to put the words together through the wine haze.
“Lanah...” Mattie sees what’s happening and gives off a bit of a warning tone but...
“I mean....the guy that...”
“Impregnated Laura with me?”
“YEAH! HIM! You never talk about him. We know bout Nick and David but..”
“I don’t know him.” Bella says bluntly, “And to be honest...here I am at 22 years old and engaged and living a great life...he’s had 10 years to make himself known and hasn’t done it.”
“So, You’re not curious about him?” Mattie now curious herself.
Bella sighs and takes a big gulp of her drink, “Not in the least. I have two wonderful men that I am proud to call my dad, plus Levi and Daniel and Jesse who are all like my Uncles.”
“Jesse IS your uncle!” Alanah says through some giggles.
“Yes, exactly. I have enough role models in my life...”
“But...”
“Lanah, drop it, ok?” Bella gets serious for a moment, “I just don’t care! I have enough to worry about. The wedding, my upcoming match against Alexis, my upcoming defenses. The last thing I need to even remotely give a shit about is the man that doesn’t give a shit about me.”
Silence fills the table for a moment as Bella grabs her glass and swallows the rest of her wine.
“I’ll go get us another bottle.”
“Alright.” Mattie says through her glass that she brought up to try and cut that tension.
Bella slides out of her chair, before she can walk away, Alanah grabs her hand and gives her a sad smile, “Bella, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to...”
Bella gives her a sad smile and bends down to hug her, “We’re good, sis. When I get back, I wanna see that drawing already.” Bella points at Mattie with a smirk, “I’m not drunk enough to forget about that!”
“Dammit!” Mattie smacks the table but pulls her pad that she carries everywhere and drops it on the table.
Bella smiles brightly before turning around and walking right into a chair, “OW DAMMIT!” she says while rubbing her leg, “That was graceful.”
She looks up just in time to catch a glance of a longhaired man trying to be incognito behind a menu and sunglasses, holding in laughter of his own. She smirks and stops at the bar real quick ordering 2 more bottles for the table. She takes one and asks the keeper to deliver the other to the table with the girls. She walks over and sets her extra bottle on the table and smirks. “Chrissy....”
"I don't know who this Chrissy is or who you are but he sounds cool so you should be grateful to have him...I am just a menu." He states bluntly without lowering the menu.
Bella sighs and sits down at the opposite side of the table, “I know, I don’t deserve such an awesome bestie like him. If I didn’t have my blinders on, he would be over there right now about to be about 4 bottles deep in some amazing merlot with some of the best girls ever. It’s a total girlfest over there, we’re about to start some nasty rumors about Alexis’ and Heather’s new friendship and also about to get a glimpse at the AMAZING Mattie Cormier’s design of my wedding dress.”
"Mattie Cormier...ah yes, I've heard of her work. Very talented. I'm certain I would LOVE to see her work if I had eyes but I am, in fact, a talking menu." We can hear the snark still heavy in his voice.
“Funny, a menu usually doesn't sass like this. But that’s alright. I brought you a bottle all your own, I figured you’d like it...it’s the exact same brand we had on that spring break trip...the one we swore we’d never ever talk about,” she glances behind her as the girls are watching her intently from across the room, “I’m sorry for being such a ragin bitch and if you feel up to it, I’d love for you to join us on our girls night.”
"WEEEEEEELL" The menu gets tossed over his head. "I mean surely I can't rely on YOU to introduce them to this style properly! You are forgiven...shall we!?"
Bella hops up to her feet and holds her arms out, “Really? And yeah....they are both pretty sauced and well...as you can tell I’m not.”
“BELLA! IT HAS POCKETS!!!!” Mattie yells from across the bar holding up her drawing to get Bella back over there cause she can’t see it.
“Then again, they may be too far gone to give a shit and just be happy to see you.” she says laughing with Christian.
"Ohhhhhh honey. You've no idea." Christian snaps his fingers and suddenly the entire bar fusses to update them to the VIP section with an extra bottle because Christian is double fisting. "...what? The owner's daughter is a fan. Sign a few things, take a few pics, and we're QUEENS now, Babies!"
Bella wraps him up in a big hug, “AND THAT’S MY CHRISSY! GIRLS! NOW IT’S PARTY TIME!” Alanah and Mattie yell as loud as possible as Christian and Bella join them back at the table...and let the henfest begin!
I got my friends. Where are yours?
Next morning
Well, late morning....afternoon-ish...
“Ugh, I really should have stopped him.” Bella says sloshing around the kitchen area, grabbing a big bottle of electrolyte water.
“GOOD MORNING!” the door swings open to see Mal bringing Luka back in from their daily morning run. Bella stares at him....more like glares at him. “What? You’re not getting any pity from me on your self-inflicted hangover.”
“That’s the thing, I barely have a sinus headache. I feel more like I had cotton in my mouth all night than anything. Apparently my tolerance has leveled up.” she says before chugging down half of the giant bottle. “We’re gonna need more of these.” she says as she finishes the rest of the bottle.
Mal just laughs as he unhooks Luka, “Check the cupboard, I anticipated as such and stocked up.” he says, walking over and giving her a kiss on the cheek, “Don’t tell me I don’t care.”
“Considering you practically came in here with everything but an airhorn....” sticking her tongue out at him, before giving him a kiss, “Your sister is going to be in a lot more pain than I am today. Besides after the taping we got, I plan on hitting up that gym hard. I have a former World Champ to beat the hell out of in a few days.”
“Lanah letting you take care of her dirty work?”
“No, more like I’m fucking sick of Alexis acting like she’s some fucking queen bee and joining Haze in the piss and moan section. Bad enough she treated Lanah like she did before our match, but to sit there and claim favorites were played? Fuck her and the horse she road in on...I’ll fucking burn the horse’s barn down at this point.” Bella junks the one bottle in the recycling bin before opening another bottle. “You know she was like my aunt once? I watched her, growing up...actually admiring her for all the hard work she did. Now, instead of embracing that...she decides she rather shit on her own legacy. First she did nothing but duck Mack, thank fuck you beat her for the title, she comes back and goes after Alanah as we try and figure out how to keep her safe during this pandemic....and now playing these fucking mind games with her?? For what, just to be a fucking bitch? I should have punched her in the face a long time ago.”
“Damn, all this rage! There might be nothing left of Alexis for Alanah.” he smirks, handing her a bagel. “Just for that...I’ll make you breakfast.”
“I promised Alanah that I wouldn’t maim her...much. But I’m telling you right now Mal, if Alexis thinks that she’s just gonna strut her ass into Riot and not have a fight coming to her?” she rips off a piece of her begal and pops it into her mouth just to keep from going.
Mal just raises his eyebrows for a moment as he cracks some eggs into a pan, “Oh I’d love to see her take you lightly.”
“I’ll rip that red hair right out of her head if she does before I show her exactly how much I am like my mom.” she grabs her water and takes a quick sip, “And maybe just for good measure....I’ll show her how much I’m like my dad too and drop her on her head. Jack was right to be pissed off at her the way she acted towards your sister. Suddenly she thinks she’s better than all of us, any of these next gen stars. Yet she fuckin’ ran and hid like a coward for MONTHS. She’s a hypocrite and her new buddy Heather Haze is no better.”
“Ya think after I kicked her ass she would have learned.” Mal said snidely, “And becoming buddy buddy with that thing that claims she is being put through hell on purpose because well HELLO you’re holding the Collateral Damage Title! That kinda shit comes with the territory.”
“Exactly. Heather would have found herself a victim of a hell of a lot worse back in the day. Makes me sick to my stomach what Alexis has become. Former World Champion gone soft because it’s ‘Just too hard’.” Bella rips off another piece but this time feeds a bit to him, “Sorry...just in a mood right now. Last night was just...so much fun. Mattie showed me the mock up of the wedding gown and then I wake up and I’m in this foul mood cause I know I have to deal with her bullshit now.”
“Well, I’m glad you had fun and . I’m also glad you got back in one piece.” he slides the eggs onto a plate, “And viola, scrambled eggs for my love and there is sharp cheese in the box for ya too.”
“Awwwww you DO care!” she says, sliding off her seat and pulling the bag out and dropping a mound on there.
“I swear woman....how can you eat like this?”
Bella grabs two forks and hands one to him, “Who says I’m eating it all? I can be taught ya know.”
Mal holds his chest and looks to the sky, “My God, will wonders never cease.”
“Stick around and find out.” Bella says popping a bite of egg into her mouth. “And who knows...maybe I can teach Alexis a little something in return.”

Post by Alexis Makarios on Sept 13, 2020 22:58:36 GMT -5
(The scene opens up in the backyard of the young Gracie Lopez in Las Angeles, CA. The sun was high, it was early afternoon. It was warm, lower 90s, and a light breeze blew every now and then. The camera pans around to show the in ground pool with some chaise lounge chairs on the side. In the pool was Alexis Makarios, floating on her back. Sitting in the lounge chairs on the side were Gracie and Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez, 2 of Alexis’s closest friends. Her “sisters” so to speak. They were soaking up a nice, calm afternoon.)
Alexis Makarios: This is nice. I needed a get away. Even with my new alliance with Heather Haze, people are still finding their way to piss me the fuck off.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I feel ya there, girl. After my loss to our favorite scum bag whore, I could use a day of relaxation.
(Alexis knew EXACTLY who Jenn was talking about, but refused to say her name. She swam up to the side of the pool and rested her arms on the surface.)
Alexis Makarios: Well after my own PERSONAL little scumbag whore fucked up MY match last week and cost me a chance at the belts…
Gracie Lopez: Oh… you mean Alanah?
(Alexis’s lip snarled up a little at the mention of her name.)
Alexis Makarios: Yes… her… How dare she show up and do that.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I guess she isn’t the goody goody pushover you thought she was.
Alexis Makarios: Maybe… but that kinda makes this all the more fun.
(Gracie and Jenn both look at Alexis, who now had a smirk on her face.)
Gracie Lopez: I KNOW THAT SMIRK!!!
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I LOVE THAT SMIRK!
(Gracie and Jenn both got up and sat on the edge of the pool near her, their feet and legs dipping into the cool water.)
Gracie Lopez: That’s the “Alexis is plotting something evil” smirk…
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Things are about to get real interesting. What is that evil little mind of yours thinking?
(Alexis tilted her head a little and spoke in a some what somber tone for a moment.)
Alexis Makarios: Well… I get a battle with little miss goody two shoes bestie. Not only is she that, she is the daughter of the boss, and lord knows that leaves a lot open to interpretation.
Gracie Lopez: Ah, yes, good ole Bella.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Is she still hiding that United Title under the laundry pile?
Alexis Makarios: Oh…. probably. I mean, she won that title then acted ASHAMED of it! Like she wasn’t proud as hell to win her first title belt. All because it came off of a friend. She knew what this business was before she ever set foot in her first match. She knew in this business sometimes… ya just gotta kick your friends ass.
(Jenn raised an eyebrow at her.)
Alexis Makarios: You know what I mean.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Yeah, I do. How many times have we fought each other? Over a title…
Alexis Makarios: Too many to count. That’s how this is. And she has like… a damn meltdown because she “had to beat her friend” OH BOO HOO GET OVER IT. She doesn’t deserve to call herself the PWS:APEX United Champion. She should know better than ANY that this business is cut throat. It’s kill, or be killed. DOG EAT DOG. You can have friends, allies, and even family. And even THAT isn’t gonna be enough at times. Hell… she probably doesn’t even remember the time her “dad” erm… stepdad… turned his back on her mom at Destiny back in the good ole PWSX days.
(Jenn and Gracie both looked at Alexis.)
Gracie Lopez: I remember a little bit, but not really clearly. I was pretty young.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: This was long before I was in PWS… tell the story, will ya?
(Alexis pushed off the wall of the pool and went back a little in the pool)
Alexis Makarios: She may not remember it, and I only remember it because I watched it as a fan. This was before I got hired in PWSi, I believe. It was at Destiny in a big survivor series style match. PWSR v PWSX v PWSi… and good ole Nick Madison turned his back on our “head bitch in charge” to team up with none other than Trisha Lee Moore and Marcus Cage. Oh it was the most dramatic thing to ever happen to PWSX. So… no one is safe in this wild world we live in. Friends… family… significant others… once that title is on the line… the skys the limit! She knew this going into her match with Alanah. That had to be postponed, by the way…
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Because SOME ONE had to go and get themselves kidnapped.
Alexis Makarios: Oh don’t even get me STARTED on that.
(She slapped the water, causing some small splashes.)
Alexis Makarios: That bitch really irked me last week. Having the fucking nerve to sit ringside in my match and make comments all damn night about me. But she’s the least of my concerns. I can’t believe I let Alanah distract me to where I lost to that… that… that rich boy asshole.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: At least he didn’t pin ya.
Alexis Makarios: True. That would have been embarrassing. But regardless… I now get to take all my frustration towards Alanah out of Miss Bella.
Gracie Lopez: I don’t know what’s up with her, but she isn’t the same girl I remember from when we were kids.
Alexis Makarios: I know. She grew up and now she’s this cocky, arrogant, spoiled little brat who can go to mommy, bat her eyelashes, and get anything her heart desires. I will say, I do think that with Levi in the mix, that’s gonna stop real fast. He even put that knife wielding psychopath in jail last week!
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I saw that! It was fantastic and I laughed so hard I almost shot water out my nose.
Alexis Makarios: Some one should have done that ages ago, if you ask me. But that’s beside the point. Bella doesn’t have what it takes to last in this business. She’s got everything TV producers and fans want. She’s young, she’s pretty, and she has 2 parents with big names that they can exploit. That’s about it. She’s … ok … in the ring from what I have seen. She’s not awful but… she could be better. She’s pretty green around the gills still.
Gracie Lopez: Yet somehow she managed to win the United Title AND the SCW Mixed Tag Titles at the same time.
(Alexis glared over at Gracie)
Alexis Makarios: Oh don’t even get me started on that. I don’t care what titles she holds. I have not once seen her with the belts. She should be waving those things around like her most prized possessions… yet she isn’t. Remember when I won my first title?
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Are you kidding me… you didn’t let that thing out of your sight for at least a week!
Alexis Makarios: EXACTLY! It’s called having a little pride in your work. If you can’t handle the fact that you had to kick your friends ass to win that belt… you shouldn’t be in this business. Plain and simple. Bella just doesn’t have what it takes to survive in this cut throat world of ours. Just wait until the first time she loses the belt. Especially if it’s to some one she is close to. Because that could happen.
Gracie Lopez: Growing up in this world does not mean you are meant to live in it.
Alexis Makarios: EXACTLY! You guys get it! She would be better off in some boring office job. Being just another faceless, mindless drone. She is latched in to the Russow/Phoenix/Madison names so hard. Without that… she’d be nothing. Absolutely nothing. We all know this. And I’m gonna prove it this week when I finally get a chance to take her on, one on one. And I swear to god if ANYONE interferes… it’s game on. I’m in NO MOOD to take shit from anyone else. Shockingly... the Russow Mafia hasn’t hunted me down like an animal and used their gang warfare and pack tactics to take out the threat.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: They do have a pack mentality.
Alexis Makarios: They sure do. I’m surprised that Alanah’s little boytoy hasn’t taken a swing at me. But it is what it is, right? I mean, I go into each show with one eye glancing over my back because I know those idiots at any moment could jump me. All to protect their weakest members. Typical. No one can fight their own battle. I just hope this week, Levi takes it upon himself to protect what SHOULD be his main event. But that’s a different story. What I’m focused on right now… is this match with Bella. She has such a big mouth. Just like her mother.
Gracie Lopez: Is it really smart to talk shit about your boss?
Alexis Makarios: Do I look like I give a shit? Like do I REALLY look like I care? Bella needs to learn some respect. And lord knows she won't learn that from mommy dearest. Maybe from Nick, I mean he WAS the only person other than Jorge who DIDN’T take a dig at me at the Hall of Fame.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I noticed that! Talk about disrespect.
Alexis Makarios: And the worst part? They all freaking encouraged it. That’s why Bella has no respect for anyone but herself and her family. GOD I can’t wait to get in the ring with her. She is going to be so overconfident… it’s actually going to be fun. I mean… it’s not like she stands a chance… when you look at it. She’s just barely outside of her rookie year. Then there’s me. I’m a freaking Hall of Famer for crying out loud! I’ve won titles beyond anything she could ever compete for.
(There was a knock at the door. Gracie hopped to her feet.)
Gracie Lopez: That must be our pizza. Finally!
(She grabbed her towel and headed towards the front door. Alexis swam to the side of the pool and lifted herself out, sitting on the edge next to Jenn for a moment.)
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I’m really glad you came out here. I wish you would have come to the show to support me in my match against… the she-slut. But I get why you didn’t.
Alexis Makarios: I don’t even know if little Maverick remembers me. I miss that kid. Alot. But i don’t want to traumatize him.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: I totally get it. I can’t believe what she did to you.
Alexis Makarios: Yeah. But it’s in the past. No use spending time and effort worrying about it right now. Bigger fish to fry.
(Alexis got to her feet and went over, grabbed her towel, and began using it to dry her hair a little bit. She sat down at the table out back, and was joined by Jenn, and a moment later by Gracie with 2 large pizzas in hand.)
Alexis Makarios: Oh thank god, I’m starving.
(She reached out and grabbed a slice, took a bite, and swallowed it.)
Alexis Makarios: PERFECT. We need to throw another party after this week.
Gracie Lopez: We really should get together more often. Keep each other caught up on our matches and things.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: That’s a great idea!
Alexis Makarios: I wish you guys could make it to Vegas to watch me whoop on Bella. It would make me smile so hard to see you guys front row ringside. And to have my back in case there’s trouble. You know how they all work.
Gracie Lopez: If we didn’t have stuff going on for our jobs, we would be there in a heartbeat.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: At least you have an ally now.
Alexis Makarios: That’s true. Haze has just as much of an issue with Bella as I do. But she’s been dealing with it longer. It’s just so funny because I was “one of them” years and years ago.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Before you knew any better?
(Alexis chuckled and nodded as she swallowed another bite. Jenn and Gracie are also digging in at this point.)
Alexis Makarios: I used to be so close to all of them. Levi, Laura, even Jack and Bella. They called “Auntie Alexis” and looked up to me. God, I feel like I failed them… they fell into the habits of the Russow Clan. Nothing really I can do about that, sadly. Glad I at least was able to be a good influence to one of the young ones.
(She looked over at Gracie and winked. Gracie smiled and nodded.)
Gracie Lopez: The best.
Alexis Makarios: I’m hoping she can try and prove me wrong. But, I am generally right about these things. So I guess we will see, won’t we? Maybe she will luck into some beginners luck. Because we all know that I am clearly more talented than she is, and I have been doing this much longer than her. It’s gonna be fun to finally silence her.
Gracie Lopez: If only it would work.
Alexis Makarios: True… she did inherit her mother’s gift to piss everyone off the second she opens her mouth… but hey… what do you expect?
(The three laugh and continue to eat and visit as the scene fades to black)
