Scene opens at the HWA Arena after Monday Madness (Yes, I know today is Wednesday, but I haven't had time to RP until today, so deal with it, jerks). In the darkness of the night, we see John Taylor leaning up against a wall. He's waiting for somebody, but we don't know who.
JT: Why am I doing this? For all I know this is a murderous stalker that wants me dead because she wants to get closer to KKM or DBR because of my past. Or maybe it's a crazed fan who wants a piece of me, like my arm or eye or something.
Or maybe I'm just being too damn paranoid to begin with. I mean, maybe it isn't as bad as I think it's going to be. Maybe it's somebody I'm close to? Allison? No, I don't think it would be her. She's not the kind of girl that would do something like this. It just isn't her. Maybe it's Sean pulling a joke on me. That son of a bitch. I'm going to kick his ass back to New York for doing something like that. But why would he want to do that? Because I mocked him about being a band wagon fan? Maybe it is him. I'll get him for this.
However, what if it's one of the other wrestlers? Mystic probably want to embarrass me or something. Maybe KKM wants to mock me, as he always tries to. Maybe DBR is going to jump me from around the corner because he wants to shoot me in the head with a nail gun.
I just realized that I'm not a much liked person for whatever reason. It seems I've made a grudge with just about every single wrestler in this federation. Maybe I should be a kinder person to everybody. That way I'll make more friends in this league.
Aw, who am I kidding? Everybody hates each other in this league, so why should I try making friends? Hell, we don't even have tag teams in this league, so who would want a friendship? Besides, I bet it wouldn't last 3 weeks with everybody changing personalities every ten days.
But I guess it's time to think about the PPV this Friday. The rumble to end all rumbles, and all of the gold is on the line. And having little idea what position I'm in, and I'm fighting everybody in the league for that title. The world title is on the line, and it's time to try to get that title and prove I'm the best in this league. Mistakes in the past will be fixed and I will prove everything to myself and to the world that I'm far from done.
But I shouldn't count out the others. If I do that then I'm going to find myself face down on the mat outside the ring. Don't get cocky, that's the last thing you need to do. You need to think of something. But what? What will help you out when everything in that ring is going to go straight to hell? There's no way to prepare for this, no way at all. Maybe I'll have to play it by ear and hope I get lucky. You know what? This person isn't going to show up. Damn you Sean and your jokes, you’re going to get it tomorrow.
Taylor then looks towards the corner. We don't know why until we start hearing footsteps in the far off distance. Taylor stands up straight and prepares for anything. Just then a stunning red haired woman appears from the corner, wearing a red evening dress. Taylor doesn't recognize the woman, but is instantly memorized by her.
JT: I never knew lady luck was so beautiful.
Taylor walks up to the lady in red and hears her talking to herself.
Stupid son of a bitch standing me up like that.
JT: Problem?
Huh? Who are you?
JT: Name's John Taylor. And you?
Why should I give my name to somebody like you? How do I know that you’re not some sort of raper or something like that?
JT: If I was, why would I be waiting at this place for that very chance? I mean, this is a wrestling arena, I doubt anybody hangs here, no matter what the reason.
Then what's your reason?
JT: I work here, so I like to wait around sometimes, just for the hell of it.
Comforting, I guess. What do you do here?
JT: I'm a performer. A dangerous one at that.
A performer, huh. Well then, actor, my name is Vanessa, and that's all you’re going to get at this point.
JT: Listen, it's dangerous to walk the streets at this time. Mind if I walk you home?
...Getting a little too close, if you ask me. But, ok, I guess.
John and Vanessa walk away from the arena, just as Allison appears. She sees Taylor walking away with another woman, and an expression of shock overcomes her. The scene fades.
