It was just another day in New York City as Ella Singleton and Jasmine Philips were walking through the city with masks covering their faces. Ella wasn't a fan of being around people but she had lost a bet to Jasmine about where they would be booked on the upcoming supershow for PWS Apex. Ella thought they were going to be the opening contest but Jasmine had selected the dark match option. Ella growled when she found out Jasmine would be right.
{Ella Singleton} This is the lowest thing you could have done to me Jazzy.
{Jasmine Philips} I'm not the one who made the stupid bet. I could have waited to be in this crummy city until it was time. It's not like we are going to be needed for anything.
Ella shrugs her shoulders while looking at all the people just crowding the sidewalks.
{Ella Singleton} Do these idiots know how to social distance?
Jasmine shrugs her own shoulders as Ella looks down at her phone. She cocks her head to side.
{Ella Singleton} Is this legit?
Jasmine stops in her tracks to look over Ella's shoulder. Both of their eyes widen as they notice what this dark match was actually about.
{Jasmine Philips} Holy shit, this match just got fucking wild. I just have one question. Who in the hell are we facing?
{Ella Singleton} I have no idea Jazzy. I'm sure Carter has been doing some research for us. From what I can tell is that they are two sisters who apparently come from a wrestling family. A wrestling family that is supposed to be so well known that everyone bows their head whenever they walk into a fucking room. My dad is a wrestling legend but you don't see anyone feigning over him.
Jasmine looks at Ella and laughs.
{Jasmine Philips} Wasn't your father a bad boy in wrestling? I mean he did have a nickname called The Hammer. As for these two sisters, I don't give a fuck who they are related to because that doesn't matter at all.
A lengthy text comes through Ella's phone from Carter as Ella nods her head.
{Ella Singleton} Now that makes fucking sense. According to Carter, Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez is supposed to be this legend in the business but hasn't done anything recently. She lives vicariously through her daughter. She hasn't done much for Apex. Carter also wants us to know that Madison Lopez hasn't had a match since signing with the company. I find that kind of shitty if you ask me. We've had two matches. We've dominated in both. I don't think these sisters have any clue on what is waiting for them.
{Jasmine Philips} It's like I just said Ella. I don't care who these sluts are in the grand scheme of things. This is our second match on a supercard but yet we have been used on the pre show twice. I don't think the bosses understand what they are asking from us. Since we are once again regulated to the preshow, then we will not be held responsible for whatever happens to these two hoes. I don't care what your names are. I don't care if you think this match is yours. This match is ours. That number one contendership for the tag team championships are ours and there is nothing your sluts can do to stop us. We are not afraid to fight dirty. We are not afraid to bleed for the cause. We will do everything within our power to kick your asses and send you right back to the shadows you hide in.
Ella smirks.
{Ella Singleton} When The Society signed our names on the dotted line, we told the world we would become the tag team champions soon. This match is only a formality. We are the only team that matters in this company. We are the only team who will get what we want. I am going to kick the living shit out of both of you. The Lopez sisters are going to be forgotten about once we leave you in a broken mess. This is our time and we will not let it slip through our fingers.

“A man trying to patch things up and trying to meet his granddaughter”
(The scene opens up at Gracie’s house, as the family is having a quiet night of just hanging out and relaxing for once as they don’t have to travel very far for the upcoming show that’ll take place in LA. The entire family but Jorge and Gracie for now… are sitting around the living room, just relaxing.)
Eddie: I wonder what’s taking Gracie so long to get stuff for the food?
Jenn: Don’t worry about it, I’m sure she’s fine. You know how she shops, she takes a while to pick out the perfect things. She doesn’t half-ass stuff.
Eddie: I know, I’m just…. That food in the pressure cooker smells so good!
(Kayla checks the timer on her watch to see how long it’s left to cook the food.)
Kayla: Says another hour left.
Eddie: Well, since we’re waiting. We can play a card game or something. I personally like Uno myself. Anybody?
Kayla: sure! Nothing like a quiet card game would pass the time.
Jenn: Quiet!? US!? HA! Now let’s get the game going, shall we???
(They start the card game, and it’s relatively quiet between all of them until Kayla gives Eddie a plus 4 and he slams his hand on the table out of anger. Before anything else was said, Gracie returned from the store but her focus was on something else from the outside.)
Eddie: What's wrong with you?
Gracie: Did anybody else notice a black car sitting across the street? It wasn’t there when I left. It has a weird-looking dude in it looking at this house. I mean he can’t get into the driveway because he doesn’t have the code but still…
(All of them got up from the couch. Eddie made his way out the door and down the driveway, with Alexis not far behind him. Both of them reach the gate at the start of the driveway, and the strange man...gets out of the car. It’s a person that we’ve seen before, Dion Carpenter. The father of Madison and estranged dad of Jenn.)
Dion Carpenter: Excuse me, ma’am and sir. Does Gracie Lopez live here? I saw her walk into that house.
(At first neither Alexis nor Eddie say anything towards the man. Eddie doesn’t like that man already, there’s just something about him that doesn’t seem right.)
Dion Carpenter: Well, anyway… I’m her grandfather and I want to see her.
Eddie: What’s your name?
Dion: Dion...Dion Carpenter.
Eddie: Funny because there’s nobody in this family named Dion, so I don’t get where you get off saying you’re her grandfather when you’re not. The only grandfather she knows is my dad… so one more chance before I call the cops, who the fuck are you?
Dion Carpenter: Jenn and Madison’s dad… and I looked up the family tree, the most recent one and it says Jenn has a kid and married a man named Eddie... and you resemble the picture that I saw.
(Eddie looks back towards the house where he sees Jenn and Madison standing there watching what’s going on. Lexi keeps an eye on Dion making sure he doesn’t do anything funny.)
Eddie: Was married. She’s my ex but yes, she adopted my daughter to be hers. Still doesn’t make you her grandfather. You haven’t been around her, and she doesn’t know who you are. Besides, didn’t you give up on your daughter when she was a teenager?
Dion Carpenter: You had to bring that up didn’t you?! It was tough!
Eddie: Bullshit! I raised my daughter for years by myself before Jenn even entered the picture. You wanna know how many so-called “rough” days I had? A lot, but I never ran out on my kid. I also had a career that forced me to travel the world and the open roads… Never left my daughter behind. I don’t give a damn if the queen herself came here and whisked you away to England, those are your goddamn kids, YOUR responsibility. But, now you stand here and expect me to open this gate and let you walk into this family like the past doesn’t matter?
Dion Carpenter: Look, I get it… but I’m trying to fix it. I made a mistake back then but at the time I had a big work deal that I couldn’t pass up…. I left her in a good home…
Alexis: And never called! I already hate you on that fact alone, but you don’t want to know what I’ll do to protect the ones I love and you’re forcing it by stalking Gracie… Just give me a reason to call it “self-defense”....I’m BEGGING you…
Dion Carpenter: Not stalking, Just wanted to make sure this was the right house..this neighborhood is rich and fancy and everything blends in.
Eddie: Well, nobody wants to see you right now, so you wasted your time coming here. We were enjoying dinner. All of the girls have matches to get ready for as well, and neither of them wants you to screw that up for them. So, I’d suggest you leave before I reach through this fence and rip your spine out through your mouth…
(Eddie looks at the man through the gate that’s in between them, before shaking his head. He’s had enough of that man and decided to turn around and walk back up the driveway. He could have stayed and said more but he didn’t want to waste his time with someone like him. Lexi stayed with him for a second as she starts to walk away)
Alexis: I never wanna see your face around this house ever again, you hear me? Jenn and Madison are MY sisters, they don’t need an asshole father like you around and Gracie? She doesn’t want to meet you AT ALL. So, just go...leave!
(Alexis moves away from the gated fence like Eddie did a few minutes ago and returns to the girls up at the front door of the house. All of them re-enter the house but Madison, she looked at her dad shaking her head, showing her disapproval of what he tried to do, which wasn’t smart at all. To come unannounced like that to a stranger’s house and do that? Terrible idea, Madison disappears back into the house as Dion drives away.)
End
“Not our first rodeo in tag division”
A day later after the argument and fighting.
(Scene opens up at Jenn’s house, she’s looking at the ocean and leaning on the rail of her deck while doing so, A doorbell ring came across her phone, which she has an App for it so that if she’s in the backyard like this, she can unlock it and see whoever is at the door quicker. She sees that it’s her sister, and grows a smile on her face. She unlocked the door, and told her to come in. A few seconds later, Madison came strolling to the back porch with food in her hand. She got food from Jack in the back for both of them.)
Madison: I brought you food, I didn’t know you ate or not but I just got back from the gym.
Jenn: I haven’t eaten yet, so thank you!
Madison: Anytime! I still can’t get over why my dad would do that last night. He’s stupid…
Jenn: I kinda figured it was gonna happen anyway. I mean he’s trying to patch things up between us, but that bridge is gone. There’s no patching things up with what he did to me in the past. I don’t hold grudges much, but this is different. People also like to bring up that it’s “daddy issues”.... I don’t have a dad, so it’s impossible. But people like to make stupid assumstions all the time. Most of the time i just brush it off, because why would I stoop so low and talk to a guy like that? It’s never gonna happen. But, I get it, he’s your dad and he’s going to be around to see you, I’m fine with it. But, coming around Gracie’s house? That’s where I draw the line.
Madison: It’s just…. It’s bringing Drama around here. We don’t need that right now.
Jenn: Honey, no matter what, there’s gonna be drama. But you need to tell him to stop coming around these parts, we’re not interested in anything he has to say, and Gracie has no interest in meeting him either, she doesn’t even know who he is! And yet he wants to stalk her... I think Eddie won’t be pleasant next time around.
Madison: I’ve never seen him so angry like that before. It looked like he was gonna throw a punch. His veins were popping out in his arms.
Jenn: Eddie will always protect us no matter what even though we don’t really need it. We’re two strong independent women, with loud voices.
Madison: Yeah we are! Don’t forget confidence either.
Jenn: Can’t ever forget that. Especially you, since I met you, the confidence you’re showing has grown and I’m proud of you for that. Before you were shy and just not understanding how the world worked, and now? Now you’re voicing your opinion and not let anybody push you around before.
Madison: Yep, and i’m learning a lot of life values from you guys as well. Before you guys, I was just… hanging with the wrong crowd and getting into trouble. I was one of THOSE kids. But you guys pretty much saved me from going further down that rabbit hole.
Jenn: I’m glad you didn’t, I guess we should talk about the match we have.
Madison: I suppose we should.
Jenn: I’ll let you start off.
Madison: Well, alright. Most people look at me like I’m just some person off the streets and I need to “learn” more while being in that ring. Now… I’m not some random person who just got off the streets, I’ve been doing this thing for over a year now. I’ve had some bumps in the road along the way and I’ve also been held down along the way as well, now what do I mean by being held back? Some people just see me as a wrestler they can use as a fill in, or someone who needs to pass the time with “jobbers.” See, that’s the problem, how am I supposed to prove myself around here if I’m never booked? Those people, the “jobbers” are beneath my pay grade and I’m not going to put up with it anymore.
(Madison pauses for a second.)
Madison: These people here probably think I’m not “ready” for a championship either, and again, they’re wrong. I’m not new to being placed in number one contender matches or championship matches for that matter as well. I’ve been in number one contender matches 3 times over all in my career and this one will be my 4th one. But, you know, this place likes to keep people's past hidden from them unless they’re in that inner circle….
“Can’t talk about this”,
“can’t talk about that”.
“Can’t talk about that forbidden door either!”
Madison: Really? I mean people always talk about SCW or whatever it is, but when it comes to our past, it’s like it doesn’t matter. Look at my sister, 10 time champion but they want you to believe that she’s a 34 year old rookie who started yesterday... I don’t get it.. But that’s ok, we’re gonna take this and bottle it up for next time.
(Madison motions over towards Jenn so she can speak, she nods towards Madison accepting it.)
Jenn: 10 time champion, and never once have I been in a pre show match, it’s a slap in the face if you think about it. Barely anybody will be there to watch it and nobody pays attention to the pre show stuff anyway. Now Admittedly, I’ve taken a step back for a little bit just so these girls can have their time in the spotlight as well because I’m not a selfish person. But, MAYBE, just MAYBE it’s time to rev things up again and make sure people pay attention to what i’m about. I think it’s about time to get over the ha ha’s and start kicking ass again, and making people suffer like I have before or are these people going to be offended and try to suspend me or treat me like garbage like they do with lexi? OH, OH! I get it, if we win this match, they’re gonna stop us from facing the champions?
(Jenn rolls her eyes in disgust.)
Jenn: And let’s not forget what happened a couple of weeks ago, I got an email saying that I was supposed to face someone, I went to click on the link and it was gone. For a few minutes I sat there and thought maybe they sent the wrong thing, but nope. I guess someone threw a bitch fit backstage and got mad they wanted to face me, well you know what? screw you too then, I don’t want to see that person again, and I REFUSE to work with them as well, and if they match up with that person… I won’t show up, simple as that.
Madison: Well… someone needs a snickers... As far as this match goes, it’s a statement match for us, and make a statement we will. Don’t want to believe in us? Fine, we’ll force you too. Also, this place couldn’t even get my name right either… C A R P E N T E R. that’s my name. Get it right if you want my attention.
(Jenn grabs the bag of food before heading inside of her house. Madison wasn’t far behind as she followed her sister into the house as well. The scene comes to an end.)
