We open on a scene of Cleo Phillips, seated in a chair in a colorful room like it’s straight out of some sort of children's program, she’s holding a book that she’s quietly reading from. She's playing the refined look, with reading glasses and the whole bit, but in that clearly mocking sort of way, she looks up from her book, which we now see is titled “Scooby Doo and The Invasion of The Body Snatcher.” She looks up with a cocky smirk, and addresses the camera.
[Cleo] Oh hello everyone, I was just doing a fine bit of reading. What a fun story it is for the kids, your usual Scooby Doo tale, in the end the gang unmasks the villain and save the day, you know the usual. That’s how it happens in these children's storybooks isn’t it? Scooby and the gang always win, sadly for Dawn Warren...this is no storybook, and there’s no mask to pull off of me, what you see is what you get, and what you get is a streetwise badass bitch from the projects who’s coming to snatch a body.
Cleo drops the book and tosses the stupid looking reading glasses off her face.
[Cleo] It’s even worse that her whole persona is about supporting Scrappy Doo. That just speaks volumes about your character doesn’t it Dawn? All I gather about you is how happy you are to see your family be successful. It’s like you and Scrappy Doo are the sidekicks, or after thoughts of your inner circles. There’s a reason Scrappy was the bad guy in one of the movies, and a reason he ended up in a museum in the later series, because he was awful and annoying, and nobody gave a fuck. Much like you seem to be just awful and annoying, and nobody is going to give a fuck when I obliterate you with a dose of reality.
With a grin, she repostures herself to casually lean back in the chair with her arms folded, her favorite resting position.
[Cleo] Dawn is nothing more than a grown woman still trapped in a child's body, I don’t mean to keep harping on her obsession with Scrappy Doo, but it’s really all I have to go on. Even in my short time here, I’ve done more than she has, and gotten closer to championships than she has. I’d say more eyes are on me than on Miss Warren. I’d go as far as to call myself the favorite. Is it arrogance? Maybe. But when you look at the two of us, who do you truly think is going to win in a fight? The little girl obsessed with books and cartoons, or the grown woman who lives to fight?
Cleo pauses for a moment, allowing the viewers and listeners to marinate on that though for a while, she knows they all have the right answer deep in the bowels of their minds.
[Cleo] You know last week, the upper crust of this company tried to pull a fast one on me and switch up my opponent at the last minute. I don’t know if they were worried I would embarrass Miles Kasey or not, because I assure you I would have. So what do they do? They try sending Kazimir at me, assuming since he’s had my number before it would be an easy victory for him, and boy were they ever wrong, but that little switcheroo and just watching how things seem to work around here, you need backup. Much like out on the streets, you gotta have someone watching your six. So I have made a call, and as soon as the ink is dry, Cleo Phillips will have her own backup out there very soon. That’s right, I got my circles too, and in mine..I’m not the sidekick. I run that shit.
She smirks again, and readjusts herself in the chair slightly.
[Cleo] This isn’t one of your cartoons or storybooks Dawn, and it’s certainly no mystery on who’s going to come out on top. You and I are on different trajectories, and I suspect you may not even be here much longer. If I get to be the one to take the trash out, then I’ll gladly accept that honor. I know I still have a ways to go to get to that top spot I desire, but I guarantee I’ll get there, and when I do, Dawn Warren will be even more of an afterthought that she already is. I am going to break her, I am going to wipe that cute little smile off her face. All the “puppy power” in the world won’t save her from an actual villain, who is coming to inflict pain and punishment.
Cleo leans forward, she rolled her eyes as she said the words puppy power.
[Cleo] Puppy Power, how ridiculous. Grow the fuck up. I can’t believe the immaturity of my opponent this week, how am I expected to take you seriously when you just babble about Scrappy fucking Doo all the time. I CAN’T lose to you. I may have taken a loss to Kazimir but at least Kazi is an actual fighter, and I was able to get my redemption over him anyway. Shit, I’ve made my opinions about Heather Haze clear, but even she is more of a serious threat than you, something you learned first hand didn’t you? I mean, a loss to you would be like..the ultimate form of embarrassment. So I’m going to have to do what I have to do, I’m going to take The Pink Puppy, and I’m going to put that bitch down.
She pauses for just a moment, before delivering her catchphrase.
[Cleo] Get ready Dawn Warren, because I am about to SET IT OFF.
She stays looking at the camera, with an arrogant smirk on her face, as the scene fades to black.
--------------------
Back home in the Bronx, Cleo sits with her friend Monique Rigsby, her lifelong best friend since childhood, and the one person she trusts to have her back one hundred percent.
[Cleo] I really should have brought you in from the start Mo’, you and I have always been more of a team, having you watching my back out there is going to be just what’s needed going forward.
[Monique] Let’s just hope all the final paperwork goes through, and Big Mo’ will be there watching your back like the good ol’ days.
[Cleo] I see no reason why your papers won’t go through. They’ve already been sent off for final signing.
[Monique] Yeah, you’re right. So, who do you have this week anyway?
Cleo shrugs, and laughs to herself a little
[Cleo] They got me against some scrub called Dawn Warren. Her whole deal is she likes Scrappy Doo a lot or something.
[Monique] That annoying little dog from Scooby Doo?
[Cleo] That’s the one, I don’t get it really but that’s not really my problem, you know. I’m just gonna go out there and do what I always do, and bring a fight.
[Monique] Well, if my paperwork goes through fast enough, I might just join you out there.
[Cleo] Totally, not that I need it. I know I can handle Dawn, but we got to get the people to understand, what the duo of The Body Snatcher and Big Mo’ are bringing to Apex.
The two girls give each other a fist bump.
[Cleo] Either way, I got this, and we’ll get you in the mix soon. After they tried to screw me over last week, I’m gonna need my soul sister out there.
[Monique] I appreciate that, and I won’t let you down Cleo. They want to play games with MY soul sister, then they’re going feel my power.
The two girls share a laugh, and another fist bump.
[Cleo] PWS Apex better be prepared, because the Body Snatcher Tour has begun.
The girls laugh again, and continue their small talk, awaiting for Big Mo’ to be officially signed on, days before Cleos next matchup, one she has complete confidence in winning.
