SCENE 00: THE FORWARD

We lost our debut match to Sable.. but it's alright. We can make up for it by defeating this week's challenge - Natalya Neidhart. Not to mention.. we seem to have made a deal with the Devil.. let's just hope it doesn't blow up in our faces.

SCENE 01: TEAM PSYCHO?

After what went down with Mitchell, Daffney, and Dr. Stevie, we find them inside a nearly empty locker room with Stevie pacing behind Daffney as she sits on a bench, looking into a mirror as she applies her makeup and paint. She currently has the black paint pen in her hand, drawing inverted triangles under her eyes. Dr. Stevie sighs audibly, running his hands through his hair, looking rather distressed over what's taken place.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
Daffney, I really don't see how you could do this. How could you make such a decision without me there? I thought we were together on this.. you do the work, I take care of the business aspects. You know you're not mentally stable enough for this.

She glances at his reflection in the mirror as she continues carefully applying her designs, not seeming all that concerned about the deal that was made.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
I've bee dealing with Mitchell probably as long as you have. I know what he's capable of. I know I'll probably be screwed over...

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
[He cuts her off.] Not probably, WILL. He WILL screw you over. You know it, I know it, he knows it, and the fans, who knew about this before it even happened know it. Tell him you're not doing it. Tell him you've changed your mind. Tell him something.. anything. Just don't agree with him. Who knows what this is getting you into.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
First of all, don't cut me off again. Second, I'm not stupid, just a bit off kilter. I know what I'm doing. If I see that he's gonna screw me over, I'll do something about it. Til then, shut the hell up about it.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
Shut up about it?? Daffney, I'm your therapist. You have me to make the tough decisions. You have me to handle your business. You have me to make sense of what you don't get. You have me to watch your back. You have me..

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
[This time it's her who cuts him off, getting up from her seat and pressing him against the wall behind him, her hand flat on his chest.] I have you in a lot of ways, Stevie. Some of which I still don't understand but readily put up with. You're right.. I have you to watch my back.. but you can't do that and run your mouth too, can you?

Shoving herself away from him, she goes back to the seat and the mirror, picking up the red this time and begins to fill in the designs she'd drawn before. Stevie, however, stands there for a minute, trying to take all of this in.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
Daffney.. I'm just trying to tell you to watch yourself around him. He's setting you up for something. I can see it just as if he were standing here right now, telling me everything. You say he isn't or that you can see it, but I doubt both of them very seriously. In fact, you don't need to focus on him, you need to focus on this week's match.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
I will. Leave things to me. I've got it. She lost just like I did, so I expect her to be bringing all she has this week.. just like I will. I learned things are never as easy as they seem when I faced Sable's old fugly ass this past week, and I'm not taking Natalya lightly.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
[Nodding] Good, good. Just what I like to hear. If we don't win this week, we'll have to rethink our strategy.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
[She looks at his reflection.] We? Nonononono... [Tossing down the red facepaint stick, she gets up and looks at him.] Out there, there is no we. There's a me. You do nothing but stand out there and yell. You rarely even interfere anymore. Where are the days when you used to grab anything not nailed down and smack people upside the head with it? Where's the fun when you used to zap people with tasers or help me completely torture someone? I miss those days, Stevie! I had fun then! If you want a we, then help out. If you wanna stand there and yell, go for it.. but don't act like you're doing all the work.

Going back to the mirror, she checks her clothes and makeup, adjusting her corset and smoothing out her skirt as Stevie looks on silently. After a minute, he leaves the main sitting area and goes into the showering area, coming back out moments later after changing his shirt. Instead of his usual maroon medical top, he is now wearing a white polo shirt with the same insignia as his others. Seeing that he's ready, she leaves the room, seemingly not caring if he follows or not.

As they make thier way down the hall in silence, they catch the eye of a female reporter that seems oddly familiar. Stopping at her behest, Daffney stands to the girl's left while Dr. Stevie stands to her right.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
You.. look really familiar, lady. [The sparkling gold color of the girl's hair catches her eye and she starts toying with it with a smile.] Pretty.. [Absently, she starts twirling the girl's hair around her finger.]

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Yeah, um.. I.. ow! [Daffney grins at her as she glares, obviously having pulled her hair a bit too tightly.] I'm Leticia Cline.. I used to work for TNA, but they fired me after I left to do Playboy... ow! [She glares at Daffney again before pulling her hair from Daffney's hands.] Do you MIND?!

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
Nope. Not at all.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
Ah, I remember you. Apparently they didn't consider you a very good interviewer if they let you go for that. What're you doing here?

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Oh, UPW hired me on. A trial period and all that. Do you.. do you two mind if I have a word with you on camera? This'll be one of my first interviews here, and I really wanna show what I can do.

PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST || Dr. Stevie
Well.. dealing with Daffney here is a good way to do that. She's been known to short out the best interviewer's patience levels. If you want a try, go right ahead. Just be aware that she's.. never all here and she's currently in a bad mood.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
[Nods] Got it. I'll do my best. [Looking at the cameraman, she gives a nod.] Ritchie, we're ready when you are.

As the cameraman readies his tape, Leticia fixes her hair and clothes, watching for the signal to begin.

SCENE 02: OOOO.. PRETTY!

Once the cameras had been set up and the countdown had ended, Leticia smiled and began her spiel, starting the interview, while Daffney and Dr. Stevie stood by and waited. Obviously bored with this new toy very quickly, Daffney started twirling Leticia's hair around her finger again.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Welcome to UPW, everyone. I'm your interviewer, Leticia Cline, and I'm standing here with Dr. Stevie and his patient, Daffney. [She turns to Stevie with a bright smile, putting her hand on his arm.] Dr. Stevie.. with the loss from this past X-Fire looming over the heads of you and Daffney, how do you approach this week when she's against Natalya?

Frowning, Daffney intentionally yanks Leticia's hair, making the girl's head jerk back a bit with the force. When Leticia turns to glare at her, Daffney smirks, leaning in towards the girl with a threatening gleam in her eyes.

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
Don't you think those sorts of questions are reserved for me, Leticia?! I am the one who faced Sable, you know.. and I'm the one who has to face Natalya. Neither one of those apply to him. How about asking that again.. to me this time.. and getting your paws off him. Not neccesarily in that order.

Stunned at Daffney's outburst even though she'd been warned that the psycho was in a bad mood, she slowly takes her hand off of Stevie's arm and turns to Daffney. Clearing her throat, she tries to appease the raven-haired woman somehow.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Alright.. well.. Daffney.. even though you lost this past X-Fire to Sable, what are your plans for facing Natalya this week? Is it different from how you handled Sable, or will you bring the same game plan?

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
You know.. besides the noob questions, this has to be the dumbest question I have ever heard. What the fuck do you THINK I'm gonna do, Luh-tee-shuh? I'm gonna whoop her ass! Who cares about game plans when you're psycho and pissed off?! Nobody! They all hide, thinking they can stay in one peice when they know like hell they can't! I'll get to everyone eventually, especially those I'm-so-damn-pretty hobags in the back, and rip thier hair out from thier skulls. Much like I'm currently planning on doing to you right now if you don't stop pissing me off! You've already had your warning, MISS Cline, so I suggest you watch your step with your questions.

Leticia blinks, her face showing absolute shock as she tries to get herself together to ask more questions.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
You.. are aware that Natalya is part of the legendary Hart family, right? Her last name is Neidhart, but she does have ties to them, two of which being her boyfriend Tyson Kidd and his tag team partner, her cousin, David Hart Smith. Do you think they'll help her along to a win against you?

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
You know.. if it weren't for these.. [She points to Leticia's breasts.] ..you'd have no brains at all. Of course I know she's a Hart! Who doesn't?! It doesn't take a friggin brainiac to figure it out if you follow the family. Anyhow, as far as your truly brilliant question goes, no, I'm not worried about her little scrawny ass boy toys. They can interfere all they want, but I'll win, regardless. It's in the cards.. she lost against Melina last X-Fire, she'll lose against me this X-Fire. Hart Dynasty or no Hart Dynasty, I'll come out the winner.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
But.. what about her training? She trained in the Dungeon, Daffney! Only the most hardened of athletes go there! The Hart brothers, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm..

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
[Daffney cuts her off.] Leticia, you can name graduates til you're blue in the face. I really don't care. I'm not facing eighty-two old people, I'm facing Natalya! She's the only one who matters to me right now, and she's the only one I'm facing this week unless her little tag-alongs poke thier noses in it. [Sighs] You know what? Forget them. Do you know what she did before she signed up to be a wrestler? She was the host and ring announcer for some hole-in-the-wall promotion that Bischoff ran called MatRats. MatRats! You'd think with the brains he's been credited with over the years, he'd come up with a better name than that! [Pauses] Either way, after that, she trained some and wrestled in various companies, whatever whatever, blah blah blah. It's the old 'came up from nothing, now I'm something' story. It's boring as hell, really.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Yes, but she's the first female third-generation wrestler in the world! Doesn't that impress you?

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
No. What impresses me is the fact that you can continue to ask such stupid questions while I give the same damn answers every time. Ask something useful! Ask something I'll actually have to use what's left of my brain to think about it before I answer! Yeesh, do I have to do everyone's job around here, or what? I don't give a flying monkey's ass in space if she's the first, second, or two-thousandth female third-gen wrestler. All I care about is if she can beat me this Monday or not.. and she can't.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Well.. what about her title history? She hasn't held one here just yet, but how about the Stampede Women's Pacific Championship? Or the SuperGirls Championship? Does the gold she's held matter to you if her bloodlines and training doesn't?

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
Again, no. I can name titles I've held, but will I? No. Do they matter here? No. Will they ever? No. What's the point in naming things from the past when it doesn't matter in the present? It's useless. It means nothing. It gains you nothing. It's like saying you were the winner of the PGA tournament in nineteen-eighty-four. What's it matter to the ones who play today? Absolutely nothing. Times have changed, people have changed, processes and technology has changed. Things were done differently back then than they are now, and things accomplished back then are next to nil. You wanna impress me? Beat me without cheating. Make the voices go away. Drink more sodas than I do in a day in less than an hour. Can she do any of those? Highly doubtful to NO. She will never be able to do any of those, hence, I could care less about her or her little friends, no matter how many connections she has.

PROFESSIONAL BIMBO || Leticia Cline
Alright.. you've made your point. You don't care about her, her lineage, her title history, or anything else. What about her moves? Do you have anything to say about them? Have you even seen them?

PROFESSIONAL PSYCHO || Daffney
No.. cause they're probably regurgitated moves from her dear grandpa Stu's better years, and he hasn't seen those in ages. Know why? Cause he's DEAD. Deader than the spider I killed this morning when I flung my shoe at it and killed it while it was still on the wall. Deader than her uncle Bret's wrestling career. Deader than dead can get. You know.. right now.. the only thing I have to say.. is GOODBYE. This interview is DONE. [Mutters] Cheap ass Bunny ho.

As she walks off, heading to the cafeteria, Dr. Stevie follows after her, leaving a rather stunned and disgusted Leticia standing there, mic in hand.
