Normalcy
How many times is this going to happen?
The Mood Swings, the Anger Roaming Free
The fact that everything just gets to me
I often wonder why I’ve been put here
Was this a punishment for a crime I’ve made?
In my sixth life?
Sure, I get envious of others, it’s human
I’m not scared to admit, I sometimes wish
People acted as normal as I, but at other
Times I’m glad that I’m alone in my persona.
Then again, to some I’m not normal.
To myself, I am definitely not normal.
That’s what I prolong to be. To obtain
Normalcy.
That’s my dream, that’s just what I need.
A feeling of pleasure and not a twinge of guilt.
Where people learn to accept people for who
They are, and not what they can do for them.
I’m sick of making insolent decisions,
Sick of the nausea when I break my back for
Somebody, when they wouldn’t care as much
To bend theirs for me. You have no idea how
Hard it is to try to please others, and to this day
I don’t know why I try. Maybe it’s because it’s
A dream. And dreams don’t always come true.
I just want to be normal. Why’s it so hard?
(X-Rodd raises the pen from his paper. He is finished. Emotions written on paper… but they still linger inside. The thought of Ashley now fades as X-Rodd drops the notebook. He is inside his old automobile: A ’88 Honda Civic. It is a piece of shit… but it’s always been his car. He doesn’t care about the luxury anymore. He just wants to be himself.
As he smokes a Marlboro Red, he looks across the street. He isn’t anywhere near his old domain. He’s driven across the country…
…to Detroit. The car in front of him is beautiful. He smiles. It is a Red Ferrari… with the license plate that says “Amber” on it. It had been a gift from Boss Ice to Nightstalker right before the demise of the RRWF. X-Rodd chuckles. He remembers that interview well.
He decides that the time is now. X-Rodd steps out of his car, and walks past the Ferrari to the training center Nightstalker has ordered to be constructed. The thought of Pimpess crosses his mind. He hasn’t forgotten about her. He doesn’t plan on forgetting. He’s going to tax her ass when they meet up. Just mark the words… and they’ll grow to life.
He enters the building, and notices that there is nobody there.)
X-Rodd: “Aww shit… I must’ve come late.”
(He keeps wandering around, and right when he’s about to open the door to a locker room, it FLIES open and hits him right SQUARE in the face!)
X-Rodd: “AGGH!!!”
(He grasps his face, and feels blood coming out.)
Ohhh man… I’m gonna feel this in the morning.
“Oh my God, I’m SO sorry!”
(He looks up. He sees a woman… clearly young.)
…and attractive.
(She tries to tend to him.)
Girl: “Oh my God, your nose is bleeding, here, take my towel…”
(He takes it, and holds it up to his nose.)
This smells kinda a good… wonder where it’s been…
(X-Rodd smiles at his own comment. The girl catches on.)
Girl: “Ahhh… yeah…”
(They both stare at each other, their eyes intertwined and locked. She smiles.)
Girl: “So… I guess you’re fine now, huh?”
(X-Rodd nods. The girl squints her eyes.)
Girl: “Hey… wait a second… you look familiar…”
(She turns her head to a picture on the wall. It has X-Rodd and Nightstalker staring at each other, which intensity. It was the big promotional poster for the match that never came to happen.)
Girl: “You’re X-Rodd! WOW!”
(She hugs him suddenly… he doesn’t know what to say.)
X-Rodd: “Yeah… that’d be me.”
Girl: “You’re going to beat the Pimpess, right?
(X-Rodd feels a string of adrenaline surge down his back.)
Ohhhh, WILL I EVER…
X-Rodd: “Yeah… I’m gonna take her ass down, for having too much cock in her mouth, and cuz she beat me in the first place. Everyone KNOWS that if someone beats me I’ll have to retaliate back. You know how it is.”
(She smiles.)
Girl: “Yeah… so what would happen if I beat you, hmm?”
(X-Rodd smiles… he likes a good flirt. He takes a step forward.)
X-Rodd: “…hehehe… I just wouldn’t give you the chance.”
(They both smiles.)
“Uhhh… So good to see you have formally met…”
(They both turn their heads, and see Nightstalker in the doorway of the gym. He smiles. X-Rodd flashes a grin back.)
X-Rodd (chuckles): “Hahaha…. Ahhhh…. MY nigga…”
(He goes to Nightstalker and they hug. No words exchanged, just a simple, yet emotional hug from both men. They both let go.)
Nightstalker: “Yeah… it’s been a long time. So how are Ashley and your bro?”
X-Rodd: “………….”
(Silence. He doesn’t know.)
X-Rodd: “How about you introduce me to your friend here.”
(Nightstalker blinks, but gets the picture. He motions to the girl.)
Nightstalker: “This is Samantha.”
(She puts out her hand. X-Rodd looks at it and smiles.)
X-Rodd: “Heh… I dunno if you know… but over here…”
(He goes up to her and hugs her.)
X-Rodd: “We do it like THAT.”
(He lets go, and she smiles.)
Samantha: “You can call me Sam.”
(X-Rodd chuckles)
X-Rodd: “And you can call me YOURS.”
(They all laugh.)
“Hey… that’s what Night told me when we first met.”
(All the heads turn to her. X-Rodd is stunned and mesmerized.)
X-Rodd: “Oh…”
(She walks up to Rodd, and hugs him. He doesn’t know what to say.)
X-Rodd: “….uhhh….. nice car.”
(They all laugh. Amber goes to her fiancée.)
Amber: “Heehee…. So Rodd… how’s Ashley? Tell her we need to go shopping!”
(X-Rodd tries to hide his frown. He walks towards the ring. The three others stand confused. He enters the ring. For some reason… he doesn’t feel like a veteran. He feels young… as if…)
Ladies and Gentlemen…. Here we have a new young star on the rise… who calls himself X-Rodd. Already he has stepped in with the big-timers, and already he’s proving himself as a threat… Wait a minute… it looks like he has something to say!
X-Rodd: “Hey yo… CUT the FUCKING MUSIC!…. (silence)… You want the TRUTH? FINE… I’ll GIVE you the truth! That’s right… I’m getting a DIVORCE… Ashley… the woman I dedicated my LIFE to… is now no more in my world. She’s taken the liberty of sleeping with my brother… so be it. I’m not going to cry, and I’m not going to whine… but am I pissed? You damn right I’m fucking pissed, and like always there WILL be a victim. Tonight… another woman will come to this ring, and she’ll make an attempt to make history… to make herself out TO BE… a “Legend-Killer.” Hah… well just because you got lucky enough to be the last person standing in the rumble doesn’t mean SHIT. You still haven’t beaten me one on one, and such a feat will NEEEVVVVER happen. I’ll leave that to a TRUE wrestler… like Nightstalker. So Pimpess… you may think you’re the biggest bitch around… but check it. Tonight… you’re going to get the worst bitch-slappin’ you’ve EVER received… heh…
…. Now ain’t THAT a bitch?”
(X-Rodd stops talking. That was the first time he had cut a promo in a long time. Nightstalker, Amber, and Sam all stand behind him. He doesn’t know who he was talking to, but they all approach him.)
Nightstalker: “Hey… I’m sorry about you and Ash, man. I wish I had been there.”
(Amber nods.)
Amber: “Yeah… you don’t deserve that, Rodd.”
(All Sam does is nod as well. She doesn’t know what’s going on, so she’s forgiven.)
Nightstalker: “So…. Are you here to visit us… or cuz you’re figuring out a place to stay?”
(X-Rodd laughs.)
Nightstalker: “C’mon… let’s get going home.”
X-Rodd: “I call SHOTGUN!”
Sam: “I call Rodd’s lap!”
(Silence…. End of Scene.)
