I N T R O D U C T I O N
MR. KENNEDY......KENNEDY

One week there..the next week...not? The last time WIW followers had seen the loudmouth of the WIW...it had been in the month of October in which Ken Kennedy had attempted to team up with Brock Lesnar. Ken had listened to Paul Heyman, who said it had been a good business decision for him, but it hadn’t turned out so. One successful victory had been their only success, only for the week afterward to be crushed by Dangerous Minds. The extreme failure had been enough to burn into Ken’s mind and cause him to dart out of scene as Brock had been dismantled by Dangerous Minds...only to disappear for a few months and return to Meltdown. However Ken didn’t return to WIW television as soon, and has yet to do so. After disappearing off the face of the planet, it was only recently in which he came home to find his girlfriend Melina waiting for him in worry...it was only then in which he confessed that he was dealing with some “personal issues” that he had needed to get over. Those were the only words in which Ken had said about his absence...to anyone....

S c e ne O n e- A Sit Down

~~~~~~4 Weeks Before Returning To The WiW~~~~~~~~

Our scene slowly opens with a rental car pulling up slowly to an average size house a striking home at the corner of a street in the center of Green Bay, Wisconsin. The car slowly drives up to the driveway in which a car already sits before stopping altogether. The door swings open only for a wide dress shoe to come down and press on the driveway, weight being put on this shoe as the person, dressed in a suit. The camera slowly pulls away to reveal Paul Heyman standing there. He closes the door with a loud slam and clicks the small button on his keys for the car to beep slightly. He shoves his keys into his pants pocket and grabs his briefcase that he had set on ground. He cleared his throat slightly and gently runs a hand down his chest, straightening his tie before slowly going up the walkway and up the steps, to arrive at the porch and to bang, slightly at first, on the door. There is no sound from inside after a few moments waiting and he bangs his chilled knuckles on the door again, only to quickly return them to his coat pocket’s warmth.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: I don’t get why I don’t have a key by now...

He huffed loudly and attempted to look through the door to see if anyone was inside and just ignoring him.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: KEN! Come on we both agreed to this time...and DATE!

Paul knocks on the door one last time which sends scurries to occur inside; the clanging of Ken’s dog Austin coming in from one of the other room. Paul looks in to see the dog there and motions to go get his owner but sighs heavily in realization that...the dog couldn’t understand. Austin tilts his head a bit to the right and whines slightly before sitting and staring at Heyman who was freezing outside.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Austin...go get Ken...come on now...

Austin whines again before getting to his paws and considering lying down before darting back in the room he had come from...his master’s bedroom in which he was still sleeping in. The covers completely enveloped the blonde haired WIW superstar and the room was completely dark. Austin slowly crept through the blanket of darkness before coming to his master’s side...Ken’s hand hanging from the bed, parallel to the floor. Austin slowly brings out his tongue and licks Ken’s hand a few times before Ken’s eyes flash open to open the day. Ken quickly brings back his hand inside the bed and looks down to see his dog there.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: (Groggy) Boy...what you waking me up for?

Ken listens closely to hear the annoyed and loud yells from outside. Ken lifts his head up from the pillow and groans loudly before looking at the clock, knowing exactly who was outside.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: (To Austin) Is he pissed?

The dog sighs heavily and jumps up onto the bare spot of the bed, nestling down in the blankets and letting his head fall on a vacant pillow.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: That pissed huh?

Ken smiles and heaves himself off of the mattress, body bare other than the tight boxers around his waist. He groans as he looks out the window to guarantee the fact that Paul Heyman was outside. Slowly, he walks out into the hall to see Paul there, glaring in an upset fashion. Ken blinks a few times before approaching the door and pushing it open...the door being unlocked the entire time.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: I had it open...so you could get in Paul.. .

Paul stares for a few moments and groans heavily, a smile curving over Ken’s lips before he lets his manager inside. Yawning he goes back into his bedroom to throw on some lounge clothes before coming back out where Paul had managed to get comfortable on the living room sofa.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: How have you been Ken?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: What do you mean? You mean since your little Lesnar plan failed...terribly...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Look...Ken...that just didn’t work out...you can’t win every time...

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: We won once and those Dangerous Minds idiots took us out...and to be honest with you I haven’t paid much attention to WiW since I asked for that leave of absence the day after that happened.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: I tried to get in contact with you about that...

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Yea well...I was in dispose...

Heyman frowns slightly as Ken proceeds to explain.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: You couldn’t reach me...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Where did you go anyway?

There is silence for a few moments and Ken shrugs the question off.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Just somewhere to get my thoughts together...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Well we all need that sometime...

Ken shrugs and rolls his shoulders and plops down on the couch.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: When you thinking about coming back?

Ken inhales slightly and bites his lower lip.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: I’m not so sure...but I was thinking about it...and I realize just how much I miss...Mel...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Meltdown? No problem Ken that’s the better show for you anyway...

Ken gives Paul an aggravated look and laughs it off.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Not..Meltdown Paul....Mel.....Melina....

Paul frowns considerably and sighs heavily.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: You can’t let your feelings for a woman...ruin your career!

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Face it Paul...I didn’t do all I could do on Fusion before I switched over to Meltdown...plus...Mel’s been having some tough time lately. I mean hell, I wasn’t even there when Snitsky powerbombed her...that bastard is gonna pay...

Ken inhales heavily as he points to Heyman in reassurance.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: ...someday...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Look...Ken...with Melina around she’ll just get in the way and more than anything be a distraction rather than any type of hell.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: What I said...stands...Paul. This is my career here, and Fusion...is the brand I’ll be returning to.

Heyman shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Fine then...how about your return...I can squeeze you in, on the next Fusion?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: I don’t want to be SQUEEZED in Paul...you know who you’re talking to right?

Paul rolls his eyes.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: How could I forget?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Exactly. I’m not going to be SQUEEZED into anything...I’ll have MY time to go out and address the people...when I feel it’s ready...say Soul Survivor time...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: THAT LONG? Ken that’s four weeks...don’t you want to jump back on your game?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: What to where I left off? I think not...give me five weeks to get back in shape...back in my mental state of things...and I’ll be back on Fusion better than I have ever...ever...been...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: A whole four weeks...no sooner?

Ken leaned forward slightly toward Heyman.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: No...damn...sooner.

Heyman puts up his hands in defense and sighs as the scene slowly fades away to black.

S c e ne T w o I’m Back

Our view now jumps to the backstage arena of WIW Soul Survivor. The music of Ken Kennedy is heard pounding through the speakers as he steps backstage with a huge smile on his face. Paul Heyman awaits clapping loudly as everyone else gives Ken a bit of recognition.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: I told you Paul...I had everything handled...and now...I’m back where I belong.

Ken was far more chiseled down and fit than he had been a few weeks ago, and it appeared to be that he did all he was going to.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Now...you had a few weeks now...you got me a prime spot on Fusion...I’ll just stroll right on in and steal the show...

Ken smiles in a cocky fashion as Heyman puts up a hand.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Actually...there’s a little problem...with that..

Ken raises an eyebrow and puts his own hand up, mocking Heyman.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Wait...what?

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: You have a spot...but it isn’t necessarily in the main event...

Ken tightens his jaw and sighs heavily.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Hell...I guess the semi-main event will have to CUT IT...this time now won’t it?

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: It would have to...if we had that spot...

Ken raised his eyebrows in shock as he gave an aggressive glance to one of the workers who was listening in on his and Paul’s conversation.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Not the main event...not the semi main event...where the hell is my match Paul?

Heyman sighed heavily, trying the best he could to hold off. He had been hoping that Ken wasn’t going to be thinking about Fusion for a few days but he was sadly wrong.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: PAUL!?

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: OKAY OKAY...the best I could get was...the second match...

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: SECOND MATCH? Paul you’re my MANAGER you’re supposed to make GOOD business decisions for me...hell...even match number ONE would have been better than two!

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Look there’s nothing I can do about it...it’s best just to look forward to it...

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: NO NO...I’m not dropping this! What was Teddy Long’s EXCUSE for not giving me a higher ranking on the show? I mean...I WAS the one who did HIM a favor...and came over to Fusion in the first place!

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: He said you need to impress him...show him something...to earn your spot...

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: EARN my spot...I HAVE A BIRTHRIGHT DAMNIT to my SPOT! I’m going to talk to him...

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: Ken...this is your first night back and you’re already going around making demands?

Ken turns to face Paul after already been walking in the direction of Teddy’s office.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Paul...it’s ME we’re talking about here..kay?

Ken turns back around and walks steadily toward the locker room. Another camera comes in and before long we see Kennedy coming toward us, an office reading: Theodore Long...General Manager of Fusion...on the door. Ken smiles in satisfaction of reaching it and doesn’t bother to knock on the door before walking in to see Teddy on the phone.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Hey Teddy...I gotta talk to you...

Ken slowly approaches the desk Teddy is at as he continues to talk on the phone. Ken frowns strongly and leans forward, bringing his hands forward to point himself out. P>Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Hey...Teddy...man...hey I need to talk to you...

Teddy continues to ignore Kennedy before he takes the liberty of moving his hand forward to settle his finger on the dial, causing Teddy to lose his conversation. Staring upward Teddy looks up in shock in the fact that Ken just did that.

Theodore Long\\Don’t Hate This Playa//: Mr. Ken Kennedy...I didn’t see you had entered MY office...

He stands slowly and runs his hands down his chest, straightening his jacket as Teddy was about to point out how rude Ken had been, before once again Ken jumps in.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Right..but Teddy...I just heard from my manager..that uh this week...on Fusion...I’m going to be in the second match?

Ken brings out his arm in a confused fashion, his eyes squinting as if it had been a complete insult to him. He chews openly on his gym and cocks his head as Teddy continues on with the conversation.

Theodore Long\\Don’t Hate This Playa//: Yes that’s true...I figured you would want to participate in a match this week Mr. Kennedy.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Of course I want to compete in a match Teddy...hell...I’m BACK you know?

Ken chews on his gum a few more times, trying to get Teddy to understand that situation, only for him to receive no response.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Teddy...man...the second match...that’s for...nobodies...for guys like who are just coming into the business man...I’m BETTER than that...I DESERVE better than that and I DEMAND better than that! I’m to talent Teddy...and uhh you should be thankful I came back to Fusion...

Theodore Long\\Don’t Hate This Playa//: Wait hold on a second there Kennedy, are you saying that you DESERVE a bigger spot...that you demand one?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Are you deaf?

Theodore Long\\Don’t Hate This Playa//: No believe me I’m definitely not that...but you have to understand Kennedy...I’m actually giving you the benefit of the doubt here. I could have put you in a dark match...

Ken gave a frightened and disturbed look at the mention of the idea.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Me...a dark match? HA!

Ken smiles and laughs for a few moments before straining serious features on his face.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Teddy...I could have stayed on Meltdown...and given THEM viewers. Instead...like I said...I’m doing you a favor...I’d think you’d do the same for me...

Theodore Long\\Don’t Hate This Playa//: I’m glad you picked Fusion to come back to Ken...but for now...I think you need to chill and worry about getting my attention to advance back up...to main event status. Now..please leave my office...it IS a Pay Per View...and I’m busy.

Ken groans underneath of his breath and clenches a fist in an angry fashion as Teddy turns his back to walk back behind his desk. He slams his fist into his open hand and nods, before backing up slowly and exiting the office.

Paul Heyman was waiting outside, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms.

Paul Heyman\\Creative Mastermind//: So Ken...what was that about...EARNING your spot?

Ken gives Paul and irritated look before rolling his shoulders and ignoring the question.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: I gotta go find Mel...

S c e ne T h r e e- I Didn’t Miss You

The scene slowly opens to the quiet backstage area, specifically designated for the WIW divas. We are still at Soul Survivor and a mumble of voices can be heard as we approach a cluster of shadows. The camera positions it just right as to see Melina Perez sitting aside the tag team she manages known as Billy and Chuck. All three individuals had lost that evening and they all looked at each other with depression in their eyes. Melina looks as if she has been crying as her make-up is smeared, but mostly it is because of the sweat that had formed during the match. Mid-way through the conversation the door opens and slams against the wall only for a loud voice to ring through.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: MEL! Baby sorry it took me so long...

He walked briskly over to her, upset about Teddy’s Long decision to put him so low on the card, he was back in the WIW back in wrestling, and he was glad about it. As he walked he then took notice to the two men standing beside her, still in ring attire of their own. He stops walking for a second and adjusts his jacket before raising his head proudly and giving them a sinister look.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Hey gay jelly bellies...why don’t you guys just run along while me and Mel talk okay? Like good little boys.

Billy\\Gay or Not//: You know...I didn’t miss you.

Chuck\\Gay or Not//: Me either...

Ken stares at them for a few moments before speaking up again.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Yea well you know what...no one gives a damn about what losers like you think...

Chuck\\Gay or Not//: At least we were on the main event...when’s the last time you headlined anything Kennedy?

Ken shakes his head and ignores him before acting as if he had heard something funny before pointing to the door.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Just go dickheads.

The two shake their heads and turn toward the door, disappearing in a few moments.

Ken sighs heavily and grabs a chair to sit next to Mel, who was wiping her eyes with a tissue. Ken hadn’t noticed her being so down when he had walked in and frowned to see her like this.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Whoa...whoa now...Mel...

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: Ken...look...not right now okay?

Ken moved closer, coming to her side and letting his arm wrap around her shoulder so she could lean on him. She did so without question and buried her face in his chest.

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: ...I had that damn match won Ken...but TRISH STRATUS! My career has been TERRIBLE lately...JUST TERRIBLE! This was my chance to really bring things up again...but NO!

Ken sighs heavily and kisses the top of her head.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Don’t worry hun, with me over here on Fusion things will get better...

Melina smirks in a slightly evil fashion before shrugging.

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: Maybe I need what you had...a break...you know?

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: You leave...when I COME BACK? How inopportune is that?

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: I just really need it Ken...I think I’ll do it too...that’s exactly what I need.

Ken rolls his eyes.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Why would you just copy me like that?

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: I’m Melina...I don’t copy...people copy me.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Not this time...

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: But Ken...just because I’m not on Fusion doesn’t mean that you’re not going to do awesome here...there’s no one back here. You’ve got it handled.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: Girl...don’t you think I know that?

They share a brief moment of laughter before he runs a hand through her hair.

Ken Kennedy\\WiW’s Loudmouth//: But when you do get back...we’re both going to be champions...gold or not...me and you baby.

She smiles brightly and gets to her feet before straddling his lap and wrapping her hands around his neck.

Melina\\The Queen of The World//: Don’t I know it...

The scene slowly fades away to black as Ken and Melina embark on a slow and passionate make out session.
