Vs. ELIMINATION CHAMBER: UNDER ATTACK 2018

REC:

 

“Fortune Favors the Brave?

What a bunch of bullshit.

Fortune favored the Fortunate, there were those that get matches by being drawn and HANDED opportunities for the Tag Team titles while London and I continue to fight and claw our way through this bloody tag division. We are given a match, both are ruined by The Network and especially max Kane, we get pushed to the back? Jason Helms and Bree Lancaster are now the Number One Contenders? Then the rich part, Dante McCaffery himself gets a title shot with Xander Valentine, of course they blow it like dompkofs and now we are all back to square one with Lohan Country undeserving champs all due to a draw?

The first time we were not allowed to compete for the tag team title was because of a vote, so we’re supposed to be okay with this? Maybe it’s time we enlighten you a bit on who the Truelove Twins are. My name is Paris, I am the youngest of the Twins, London came out first which technically makes me the baby, whatever. We are very different and yet the same, ask Kali and she will tell you that I’m damn handy with a leather strap. See, I’m the type of person that has very little patience, I don’t look at a situation and analyze it, instead I go hard without thinking twice about it. What does that mean exactly?

When opportunity comes knocking, I bust the bloody door down.

Laura Steinbeck originally brought us here to be guardians and watch the back of Sienna Swann, not an easy task to say the least when you have so many jealous bitches trying to bring her down. London and I learned pretty quickly how to play this game, it’s not like we hadn’t dipped our toes in the wrestling pool before. We are winners, always have been and for London and I?

A fresh start was welcomed.

The one thing you didn’t know? We are just as good singles, proving it at Fatal Fortunes. London is a little calmer, she is the smarter one, I can admit it, for I don’t apply myself like she has, London doesn’t want to just come out and slap a bitch in the face, oh no, she would rather smile, then kick you in the bollocks, for me? It’s a different story, I won’t smile, I’ll kick you and then smile. Fatal Fortunes taught everyone in the SCW one thing, just how versatile we can be. I don’t even know how much more I can take, we have patiently waited, I alone could walk up to Abigail Lindsay or Dawn Lohan and punch them in the mouth to remind those two cunts why we are here and deserve our match with no strings attached…..

But let’s be honest…

No one wants to see The Beauty Factory all have gold, right?

Sometimes, you don’t get to choose, and you will all soon find that out at Under Attack even from start to finish….

Two are always better than one.”

DOUBLE TROUBLE

PROLOGUE: SUPERMAN LIVES

 

Fatal Fortunes had come and go, for many they were hoping for a chance that they normally wouldn’t. It was the case for the Truelove Twins as London and Paris had been thrown to the back of the line by Mr. D which in turn upset the two beauties, they never really had their legit chance at tag team gold, being held back by the bad business practices of the Network and the stupidity of Max Kane had become infuriating. Laura Steinbeck had been trying her best in a fever pitch to get a rematch for the Twins since the Breakdown a few weeks after RTG XV where the same results once again resulted much like the Fatal Five-Way in Toronto. London and Paris are Tag Team specialists, they have been around the block a few times before coming to the SCW, now was their chance to shine in the ring even while still protecting Sienna Swann….

And at Fatal Fortunes, it proved the two sisters are extremely versatile.

Paris found herself first in a leather strap match, against Har Megiddo’s, Kali. Some wondered if she could take on the rough and sick Kali who was as unpredictable as the come. It was a chance for the Truelove’s to get a win over a member of another tag team, they did so, and Paris ended up making Kali submit. Then it was London’s turn, where she found herself in a House of Fun match. Here she faced one half of the tag team champions, Dawn Lohan and Maddie Steward. Anything went, Laura was horrified at both matches and yet London too survived showing a different side to her with a chair and slamming it on the back of Dawn Lohan after pinning Steward.

The Twins not only were successful, they survived Fatal Fortunes which of course many did not.

So, what was next for the beauties? The Tag Team titles, the only problem was Bree Lancaster, an ally was forced to team with Jason Helms and suddenly The Twins once again found themselves on the outside looking in. London and Paris were not happy with it, matter of fact they were ready to start scheming, get their way, that still didn’t stop them from also handling other business that was more important at this moment, Sienna Swann and Chris Cannon. Sienna had a good night, she defeated Thomas Valentine and Dylan Howell, Regan’s half-brother. Chris on the other hand did not losing to their ally, Josh Hudson in a TV Title match.

To the Twins that this was the perfect time to strike.

 

Breakdown
Fatal Fortunes 1
Buffalo, NY.

Paris sat down while London applied lotion and ointment to the welts on her back from the leather strap, Laura looked on concerned, she wanted to make sure that her girls were okay, things were starting to look up at least. London was also feeling a little worse for wear, she had taken a beating too but was content with helping her sister. Both were still in their black and powder blue wrestling gear, long straight hair hanging down, nails polished a baby blue…..

 

London: “Does that hurt?”

 

Immediately Paris winces and slaps her sister on one of her welts…

 

London: “OW!”

Paris: “Does it look like it hurt? I feel like I was a beaten Game of Thrones style and I didn’t steal anything from that domkopf.”

London: “No, but you sure choked her out.”

 

It brings a slight smile to Paris the thought of choking Kali and making her tap out, making anyone tap out in a business that was run on pride was always an achievement…..

 

Paris: “That I did, London. Honestly, you didn’t do so bad yourself. Thought you might have wet those trunks when they announced the house of fun match…”

 

London scrunches up her nose in disgust at the thought…

 

London: “Eww… That only ever happened once in Mexico and that wasn’t my fault. That bitch spiked my drink!”

Paris: “Ha! You think Abigail is putting ointment on Dawn’s back right now? I mean, they are sisters too technically.”

London: “Doubt it, we need to get our chances with them and that’s it. We proved tonight that single or tag team we are the best and future Champions, yet they throw Bree and Jason Helms together, I think it was too much coincidence.”

Paris: “Oh it was totally rigged…..”

 

Laura finally steps in, wincing a little at the marks both Twins have….

 

Laura: “Ladies… I should have pulled you two, this is getting ridiculous now. This “Fatal Fortunes” crap has already cost me thousands, maybe even millions. I can’t have a photoshoot with you two bruised, battered, beaten and looking like Denzel in Glory.”

 

Both Paris and London look at each other confused…

 

Laura: “It’s a movie darling… Anyway, it’s not happening. We’ll try foundation, makeup, whatever we have to do to fix these blotches. Aside from the obvious, I want you both to know I’m proud of you two, going out there and showing the SCW just how versatile the Truelove Twins are, darling. This was a message, now come on, I’m taking you to the trainer’s room, then tomorrow to the spa with Sienna. Where is she anyway?”

London: “We don’t know Ms. Steinbeck”

Paris: “No clue.”

Laura: “That woman, probably with Regan and Mikaela, I’ll be right back, don’t you go anywhere.”

London: “Yes, Ms. Steinbeck.”

Paris: “Yesiree!”

 

Laura leaves, Paris turns to London with an arched eyebrow….

 

Paris: “You know where she is.”

London: “Cannon. Probably comforting him after that loss.”

Paris: “Shall we?”

London: “We told her that we would stay put, Paris.”

Paris: “Yeah, we did. Okay, I’ll be back.”

London: “Paris!?”

 

London tilts her head in the direction of Paris who is more than ready to find Sienna thinking she is with Chris, London takes a moment to think about before shrugging her shoulders and following her sister. After a few moments, they walk into his dressing room without knocking, Cannon is still sitting there, showered and in his suit and staring at his cell, he looks up, already packed, taking his roll away with him after seeing the Twins walk in….

 

London: “Oh please, don’t leave on our account, handsome.”

Chris: “I don’t have the time or patience for this…”

 

Chris shakes his head…

 

Paris: “What, you have somewhere better to be?”

London: “He’s probably off to drown his sorrows like he did before Apocalypse. We’re sorry you lost tonight.”

 

London casually pouts while walking by Chris, she’s scanning the locker room while Paris leans back against the door frame…

 

Paris: “Is Sienna here?”

Chris: “No.”

Paris: “You sure she isn’t hiding in the locker, or your bag maybe?”

Chris: “What? Look, I don’t have time for this, seriously.”

 

The twins can see his is beginning to get agitated now, Chris was a delicate person to deal with. A lot not going his way and it was London who approached him first….

 

London: “Chris…. Stop, we come in peace, honestly…”

 

As Cannon was about to walk out, he stops, London quickly joins Paris standing in front, trying to block him from going anywhere. He let’s go of his suitcase and folds his arms….

 

Chris: “She’s not here, she hasn’t been here and honestly, she is the last person I want to see right now. This is getting out of hand. I made a gesture to help out someone that was in need, it was for someone that I do genuinely care about because behind all the vanity there is a decent woman that needed help I like to think. That is all. I came back to wrestle, not have this drama in my fucking life okay.”

Paris: “And you lost tonight.”

His eyes narrow, slowly turning to Paris who actually gets a little anxious and nervous stepping back a bit….

 

London: ”….. In a very highly contested match against one of the best in the World. There is no shame in losing to Josh Hudson, Chris. It happens, that is not why we are here.”

Chris: “Yes, I lost, I’m fine with it. You two went out there and put on a show, impressive.”

London: “Why thank you, we appreciate that.”

Chris: “See I can give compliments when it’s warranted. Those welts and bruises look nasty, should get them looked at.>’

Paris: “Battle scars.”

London: “Makes us sexy.”

Chris: “Right, then what is it? I doubt you came here for small talk. Sienna sent you didn’t she?”

Paris: “She doesn’t even know that we are here, neither does Laura. That’s not the point. You gave us time back at the hotel when we caught you and her red-handed. Then, you became testy, we get it, now we just want you to listen, it is our jobs to have her back and protect Sienna from everything and anything, including her heart being broken.”

 

Chris looks away and laughs to himself, mostly in complete disbelief…

 

Chris: “Okay, let’s get one thing straight here, I am not trying to break anyone’s heart. I am a married man, I love my wife, my family and everything I have worked for.”

London: “So what about…”

Chris: “What?! Do you even know what is going on? Probably not. So, let’s get one thing straight okay. I can appreciate what Sienna is doing in the SCW, all things considered I’m proud of what she’s accomplished in the company although how she got there is something else entirely. Just like I am proud for the steps she is taking in her life outside the ring.”

Paris: “What does that even mean?!”

Chris: “It means I will stand with her during this tough time until she makes it impossible and improbable to do so, that’s it, there really is nothing else to discuss. Anything else you can talk to her about, it isn’t my place to do so.”

London: “No? Did you not kiss her then?”

Chris: “She kissed me, and I pulled away.”

Paris: “Is that so? There was not one time in that exchange whatsoever that for a moment you thought about being with her? Do you know what you are doing to her emotionally and psychologically Chris? She is a woman that needs your help, she wants to not only be with you, it’s your support, everything that you have which will keep her on track to get better. What do you think would happen if you told her now? She could become depressed…”

London: “Addicted again….”

Paris: “Sheltered….”

London: “Suicidal….”

 

Chris finally cuts in…..

 

Chris: “I get it…. I get it. That is not my intentions but you both know that I have a family and they come first, she knew that before I agreed to anything.”

London: “The same family who didn’t tell you about the first baby?”

 

After saying that, Chris bites down on his jaw, his fists slowly clench, turning to grab his luggage and leave. To Chris that was extremely personal. No one should have known about that, but it’s gotten out in recent years through the grapevine and at one-point Sienna was in with Kelcey they talked….

 

Paris: “We know a lot more than you think, we get it but let me explain something to you while seething there. This is a chance to be with the most beautiful woman in the world, she has surpassed Kelcey and in time you will have to take care of a sick wife. Sienna will never get old, she will live in her beauty for years to come and you two can have a massive number of babies. If you don’t, this will destroy her.”

Chris: “Are you listening to yourselves?”

London: “We get it, Kelcey is a good person, you and us all know that Sienna was the person you were meant to be with.”

 

Chris eyebrow arches….

 

Chris: “This is unbelievable… You two mind stepping out of the way if you’re quite done? I think the two of you need to see a trainer for concussions.”

 

Cannon takes a step forward, Paris pushes her arms out onto his muscular frame which is trying not to burst out of his suit. She quickly removes her hands and thinks quickly…

 

Paris: “That isn’t all… There is also the case of Ikiro Yoshida.”

Chris: “What?!”

London: “The Japanese dude that does Karaoke.”

Chris: “I know who he bloody is, love. That’s not the point I am trying to get at. What are you talking about Ikiro?”

 

London balks at the question shrugging her shoulders…

 

Chris: “He basically worships the ground she walks on, doesn’t he?”

Paris: “Yes!”

London: “Totally!”

Paris: “And that is where the problem lies. He is a stalker, he like peeps in her window while she is sleeping, he touches her where she doesn’t want to be touched, he hounds her and all she wants is to have the man she loves protect her, Lois Lane needs her Superman, Chris. If you were to push her away, that crazy lumpkin would think he actually has a shot with Sienna and then she would have to settle, be miserable, maybe even premature in aging?”

Chris: “The last time I spoke about him with her I had a different story, ladies.”

London: “Whatever she told you it was a lie because this is serious Chris, she needs you, the addiction was bad enough but there are so many more factors that fall into play here, we really need you to understand what effect this will have on Sienna.”

Chris says nothing, his face says it all the frustration showing on his face. To him these two just weren’t listening to a word he said…

 

London: “I refuse to believe that you are not attracted to her both physically and emotionally, you’d have to be gay or blind and we all know that isn’t the case. Deep down inside you both know you were made for one another.”

Paris: “Exactly, don’t fight it. Do what is right, Sienna needs you more than anything. She needs you to stave Ikiro’s advances, he’s a dangerous Jap ready to go Kamikaze on her ass.”

 

The bigger Cannon sighs, he shakes his head some, rubbing his forehead as the Twins look at each other and wink, they turn back to Chris with serious and concerned demeanor’s….

 

Chris: “I’m tired, I’m beat up. I just need to get back to my hotel room.”

London: “Excellent idea! We will tell Sienna to meet you there.”

Chris: “No! No, you will not. I listened to what you had to say, I understand every bit in this, it’s fine. I know Sienna is going through a lot right now and I said that I would help her out much as I can, but I will not sacrifice my family in the process, no way. I appreciate what you two are trying to do for Sienna, I think to think about what is best for me and my future here in the SCW.”

London: “Sienna is your family, Chris.”

Paris: “She’s fragile Chris. Underneath all that glamor and allurement she is a woman that needs acceptance, she loves you, she wants to be with you. She needs that rock to be her strength in such a difficult time. Just remember the face of her mother, how worried her parents are. Remember when she came to Kelcey’s side to defend YOUR honor after Blake Mason hurt you. THAT is Sienna Swann.”

London steps to one side of Chris now while Paris does the other, the two surrounding him. Looking like they are getting into his head as they continue to talk…

 

London: “The real Sienna Swann. Don’t let this go and watch for Ikiro, he’s a dangerous man, a pervert. All he wants to do is bad things to Sienna and one day, if you are not there for her, she maybe in some dire predicament where she could fall prey to the perverted Japanese Rock Star and you know how they are.”

Paris: “Roofies and shit.”

Chris: “Stop! I get it, I need to go.”

London: “Think about what we said.”

Chris: “Of course I am, you’re not giving me much choice….”

The Twins stand there and smile, frowning a little before waving. Chris walks out, they turn to one another and giggle….

 

Paris: “Pervert!?”

London: “Jesus, Paris I had to tell him something, it’s the only way that mon froppie is going to go after Sienna and defend her love. This will bring them closer together and everyone is happy.”

Paris: “What about Ikiro?”

London: “Oh, we need to talk to him…. All in due time.”

The Twins both chuckle some before leaving Cannon’s locker room, they head back down to the Beauty Factory dressing room, Sienna is inside still in her wrestling gear, she turns to the Twins….

 

Sienna: “Where is Laura?”

London: “She’s out there looking for you.”

Paris: “She thought you were with Chris.”

Sienna: “I was with Bree, Regan and Mikaela. Doesn’t matter. Is Chris still here?”

London: “We actually just ran into him. He’s pretty devastated about the loss to Hudson. We were trying to cheer him up, unfortunately there is only one person that can do it.”

Sienna: “Well I’m sure Kelcey is around somewhere.”

London: “Pssh not her.”

Paris: “You.”

 

The twins both grin…

 

Sienna: “I’m sure he rather not see me.”

Paris: “Actually he told us to tell you to meet him at his hotel room later. He really wants to see you but keep it on the downlow.”

Sienna: “The down-low?”

 

Sienna arches an eyebrow…

 

London: “Yeah, he’s warming to you. Just go in there and snuggle with him, he may just need a spooning.”

Sienna: “A spooning?”

London: “Yeah when you lay behind hind and stick your vagina strategically on his ass….”

 

Sienna rolls her eyes….

 

Sienna: “Oh, that kind of spoon. Did he really say this?”

London: “We would never lie to you, Sienna.”

Paris: “Ever.”

 

She seemed unsure, but Sienna perked up at the idea of Chris actually wanting to see her….

 

Sienna: “Okay, this better not be bullshit.”

She walks over and grabs her things to shower and glam up. The Twins glance over at each other again and wink. Sienna heads into the bathroom, just then Laura walks in….

Laura: “Is she here?”

London: “In the showers.”

Paris: “Getting ready to go out and celebrate.”

Laura: “Fine, you two come with me, we’re going to the Trainer’s room.”

As Laura heads out, the Twins high five each other mischievously knowing that their plan is well on its way hoping it works.

 

 

 

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES

 

The Truelove Twins had been keeping a secret for over a year and one they thought would just be swept under the rug and not have to worry about anything, while they were in Mexico while under the Promotion of Juan Carlos Trejo, the wrestling promoter who had hired the Twins as both wrestlers and DJ’s. He was a popular upstart, trying new things and innovated wrestling shows that had the Mexican community in a buzz. It was slowly starting to catch a wave on the business before everything abruptly stopped one night and everyone found themselves without a Promotion or JC Trejo who simply disappeared.

There were two women that knew the truth, The Truelove Twins.

London and Paris were at a party with him where he elected to drug them both after everyone else had left. Paris fortunately didn’t get hit with the side effects like London had, she saw her Twin Sister being assaulted by JC and proceeded to attack him, thinking she killed the young promoter, seeing his safe open with cash, drugs and a gun, they staged it as a robbery and left with all his safe belongings. From then on moving forward, London and Paris stepped off the grid and within a matter of months found themselves both under the tutelage of one Laura Steinbeck.

What the sisters didn’t count on was JC Trejo at some point coming back.

Thinking they were in the clear, London and Paris came to the SCW, they were originally brought in to protect Sienna Swann, in due time Laura realized she had a goldmine with the two beauties, they were both talented and at the same time, able to bring home some tag team championship gold, all they needed was a chance, an opportunity and Laura was willing to give them one. What Laura didn’t expect though was for their mother, Bridgette to approach them months later that a man who as calling himself JC Trejo showed up at her house and almost did the unspeakable, hurt her as well. When she told Laura, things had changed and from that moment on, Laura knew that things needed to change.

The Twins had been partially honest with Laura, just not completely honest, with the Fashionista.

Things were about to change, and it was up to the Twins to make it happen.

 

Laura’s Home

Hollywood Hills, CA.

One Week Ago

 

Laura Steinbeck had seen her good friend, Bridgette frantically come and visit a month or so ago. After traveling and trying to get Tag Team Title shots for her girls, London and Paris had to follow through with the talk, the promise they had given their mother. It was time to hash things out the best they could, hoping that Laura would indeed try to help them get through a situation that could escalate quickly and put everyone in danger. Laura sat on her white couch in the beautiful home, her feet tucked into the cushion, wearing black pants and a white blouse, unbuttoned to the chest. Her long hair hung down, nails a glossy coating. Paris was standing, London was sitting, both had on matching black summer dresses and wedge sandals, their nails a French finish and long hair hanging down. Paris stared a picture of Laura and her mother, Bridgette, London sat quietly with her legs crossed….

 

Laura: “That was taken several years ago. Your mother and I were very close back then, she was a thing of beauty, still is. In time models find acting to be a source of way to keep their youth, that she did. You two look just like your mother, it reminds me of how precious she is to me. This is the main reason I took on this challenge and took you two in. Sure, your mother gave me a handsome bonus to do so but I’d done it for free…. That is until recently.”

London: “Ms. Steinbeck….”

Laura: “London, I like you, always respectful and cordial unlike your sister, right now, I need you to shut up and listen.”

Paris: “Hey… don’t talk to her like that.”

Laura: “Then get out of my house.”

 

Paris quickly turns to London who is shaking her head, gesturing the more brash and ill-tempered Paris to calm down and let her speak. It took a second for Paris to bite her tongue, definitely a practice she is not used to…..

 

Laura: “Good. I am doing my best to not only get you a World Tag Team title match but also make sure you win those belts and show why you two ARE the best tag team in the world. As you have seen the last few weeks, it is blatantly obvious that the boss never learned his lesson with Regan Street and instead continues to show his merciless bias which has me livid. We don’t get the same opportunities that everyone else does, we are not gifted matches like all the other teams do, votes, choices, drawing, doesn’t matter have gone all against us coincidentally which we three know is a load of crap that is why when Mr. D announced the Elimination Chamber and you two, The Truelove Twins were starting it that meant two things, first your odds of winning have decreased immensely, and two you’ve been put at a great disadvantage where if you lose, we know why but if we win? You basically beat every tag team on the roster to do so in one match. My question to you two, can you do it?”

Paris: “Bloody yes.”

London: “Of course.”

Laura: “You’re confident?”

Paris: “Very.”

London: “We are ready Ms. Steinbeck.’

 

Laura chuckles a little, reaching over to her glass of wine and sipping it before putting it down and shaking her head….

 

London: “Ms. Steinbeck?”

Paris: “You don’t believe us?”

Laura: “No, I don’t.”

 

The Twins seemingly shocked glare at one another….

 

Paris: “How dare you even insinuate that we can’t win those titles at Under Attack even entering as the first team! We are capable of doing anything we want and that includes being just as good as any of the other women you manage!”

London: “Paris… please….”

Paris: “No, this is bullshit, London! All we have done since we started here under your tutelage is do as you ask. We have beat up people, spied on them, seduced and slept with men like high priced whores just so you could sign them to business deals and said nothing except “Thank You” and that’s it! We protect Sienna, do not tell me for one second we haven’t played a role in her success!?”

London: “Paris… calm down.”

Paris: “To hell with calming down, London. How dare does she have the right to talk down to us!? We have been nothing but loyal!”

Laura: “Are you done?”

Paris: “Done!?”

 

Laura slowly stands up, she slips her feet into her heels, drinks a little more wine and walks right up to Paris, face to face, she snags the picture from her hands and looks at it for a second….

 

Laura: “That’s right darling, are you done?”

Paris: “No! You have no right that….”

 

Laura turns the picture around and shoves it right in Paris’s face, London quickly springs off the couch and goes to intervene but stops as Laura grabs Paris by the back of her hair….

 

Laura: “The minute you two put your mother, my friend in danger, I had every right to question your motives! Look at the picture, you ungrateful bitch and see her for what she was because if it hadn’t been for me and her quick thinking she would be in some barrel being eaten away by acid!”

 

Paris looks with her eyes wide, holding the wrists of Laura who clearly has reached her boiling point. It is not often that Laura Steinbeck ever loses her cool, she is a very smart woman who knows how to play things in her favor and yet this was one of those instances where even she didn’t know how to get around it until now and with the Elimination Chamber coming, with all the press the Beauty Factory will receive moving forward, it is imperative for Laura to have all her ducks in a row…..

 

London: “Ms. Steinbeck, Paris… please!?”

Laura: “Do you remember that night, how frighten your mother was when I brought her to Sienna’s house and you two were there!?”

London: “Yes, we do!”

Laura: “Look at the picture Paris and think long and hard, darling!”

 

Paris’s green eyes turn to the picture, she slowly shuts them tight, clenching Laura’s wrists even more. London and Paris can never forget that night, it was the moment they knew their past had come back to haunt them….

 

Sienna Swann’s Home

Santa Monica, CA.

One Month Ago

 

London and Paris were both in shock at seeing their mother there especially with the news that she had. They had no other choice but to listen and finally admit to the truth. It was hard to begin with, trying to hide all of this for so long and foolishly thinking that one day this would come back to bite them. Both Twins stand there listening to what their mother had to say, still in their workout clothes while Sienna Swann was out at the beach…..

Bridgette turns her attention back to the Truelove Twins, her two daughters are standing there in anticipation, Laura starts to make her way out toward the beach to meet up with Sienna, leaving the Truelove’s to discuss things….

 

London: “Mum, tell us.”

Paris: “Please?”

Bridgette: “His name is Juan Carlos Trejo.”

 

Both the Twins eyes widen, thinking he was dead….

 

Bridgette: “And he wants his property back.”

London: “Property? Mum, what did he say to you?”

Bridgette: “Do you know him?”

 

London and Paris have no choice but to tell the truth, they look at one another before turning back to their mother and nodding at the same time. All Bridgette can do is let out a bellowing sigh….

 

Bridgette: “He says you stole from him in Mexico, is that true?”

London: “We did.”

Paris: “For a reason!”

Bridgette: “For a reason!? I never brought you two up to be thieves! We earn our keep, that has always been our mantra since day one! I should have never let Samson let you go, this was a huge mistake, I don’t even know my daughters anymore!”

Paris: “Will you listen to us!?”

Bridgette: “Listen to you? I was assaulted and threatened by some bloody Mexican man in my own home and it took everything in my power not to tell your father! Do you two even realize what this means? He is obviously a bad man and you brought trouble to my doorstep! He was going to bash my skull in if I didn’t tell him something!”

London: “We are so sorry mum, we are, you shouldn’t have gone through that, it was our fault.”

 

Paris turns to London….

 

Paris: “Tell them why!”

London: “No. we shouldn’t have stolen from him.”

Paris: “Tell them why!”
Laura stands back listening to all this with her arms crossed in disappointment. Bridgette can’t bare the thought that her daughters not only put her in these situations, they also were involved with people like JC Trejo. She didn’t want to hear any explanations, no matter how adamant Paris was …

 

London: “Just drop it and let’s take responsibility for this. We will take care of it, we will talk to JC.”

Bridgette: “I’m flabbergasted and disappointed in the two of you for this. Why do you think I asked Laura to watch over the both of you? Why I paid her to get you out of Mexico before it was too late? What were you doing Paris when Laura found you, huh?”

Paris: “I was in a holding cell…. For fighting.”

Bridgette: “I give up….”

 

She flails her arms in the air, turning to head out the door, when Paris grabs her arm and swings her mother around….

 

Paris: “You are not leaving here until you know the truth mum!”

London: “The truth is we stole from him, that’s Paris. Mum, we will fix it.”

Paris: “Why are you lying to her!?”

London: “We will fix it!”

Bridgette: “What are you not telling me?”

London: “Mum, nothing. We are sorry we failed you and we will fix it.”

Bridgette: “Fine… whatever….”

 

Paris takes a deep breath, her eyes glaring at London who is shaking her head, finally she speaks, there was nothing holding her back anymore, she needed for her mom and Laura to know the real reason this happened, and nothing was going to change it….

 

Paris: “He tried to rape London!”

 

Bridgette stops, she slowly turns to look at London who has a horrified look to her face, covering her mouth and trying to fight off the tears of anger toward her sister….

 

London: “Why!?”

Paris: “It’s the truth!”

 

Laura and Bridgette are both stunned at the revelation, they stand there without knowing what to say, Paris doesn’t give them much of a chance to anyway…..

 

Paris: “We were part of his wrestling promotion, we acted as both talent and DJ’s during his shows which he held at local clubs and bars. JC was good to us, paid us well, we partied, we did everything that we shouldn’t have done and yet that was Mexico. We made a lot of friends and contacts, it was a great ride while it lasted until that domkopf tried to rape my sister. We went over to his house, a bunch of his female wrestlers and us, we had a good time, the drinks were flowing, the next thing I know I’m waking up in the living room downstairs alone, I don’t know how much time had passed, he slipped me something, London too. I went upstairs and saw her half out of it being forced upon by him, I reacted and grabbed some wooden lamp and blasted him on the noggin with it. I thought I killed him, we panicked, so we saw his safe and took his money, his drugs and his gun, make it look like a robbery.”

Bridgette: “Why didn’t you call the police!?!”

Paris: “It’s Mexico, mum! They are crooked just as JC is! I did what I felt was, don’t blame London…. I did this.”

 

Bridgette walks over to London and gives her a hug, Laura sighs and stares at Paris who can’t even look into her eyes. London breaks the hug…..

 

London: “No…. no. I’m not letting Paris take the fall for this, we are responsible for it, we thought that JC was out of the picture. We didn’t know what to do, we thought about survival and that was it. We never meant for any of this to get back to you mum, we will handle it, I’m so sorry.”

Paris: “I was trying to protect her and if it happened again? I’d do it all over.”

Bridgette: “Paris…. I know what you did was help your sister, you shouldn’t have stolen from him. This man now wants to hurt us if he doesn’t get his belongings back. He will find you, it’s not hard considering you’re on TV all the time. Maybe he just hasn’t been paying much attention to what you do. As your popularity continues to grow with Laura and the magazine articles featuring the two of you, the exposure will sooner or later get to him. Give him back what he wants.”

Paris: “I wish I could.”

Bridgette: “What are you saying?”

 

Laura continues to look on, eyes narrowing, paying close attention….

 

London: “We don’t have it all anymore. Just part of the money and his gun. We don’t have the drugs. We rid of them before coming back to the States.”

Bridgette: “Rid of them?”

Paris: “Yeah, mum.”

 

She could feel her knees weakening, taking a second to sit down on the couch, Laura tends to her friend, holding her hand, caring for a woman that was so fragile, she could faint at any moment. Paris tries to check on her mom, yet Laura looks up at stares daggers into her, backing her away. London grabs Paris and takes her outside…..

 

Laura’s Home

Hollywood Hills, CA.

One Week Ago

 

Laura let’s go of Paris, she puts the picture back on the mantle and shakes her head in disgust. Paris was surprised by what Laura did, she didn’t think Ms. Steinbeck had it in her but instead she challenged the more volatile of the two Twins. London tries to calm Paris down….

 

Paris: “You think we are the bad gals here? We are not. There isn’t a fucking day that doesn’t pass by when I don’t think of that domkopf’s hands all over London. There isn’t a night I don’t lie in bed thinking about my mum or dad and how this would affect them. Now it became personal and until we come up with the goods to finally pay off this asshole, it will continue to haunt us until it is over and how much do you think I bloody blame myself!? All I want it to learn from you, all I want is to be with Sienna, Jennifer (Helms), Willow (Wilkes), Jason (King) and Ricky (Octavius) proud to be in the Beauty Factory! All I want is to wear those tag team titles with London, proud that finally we can stand for something in the tag team division! I didn’t want this, neither did London. When we begged you to wrestle, we were serious about it, we wanted to show you and the SCW we are the BEST at tag team wrestling. We beat almost every team which is why this hurts that you do not believe in us.”

London: “Ms. Steinbeck, we are sorry that this happened to mum more than anyone. We are doing our best to fix this, you know that. You’re not going to be with us in Utah, instead at the shoot with Sienna in St. Bart’s. We can do this, trust us, please!”

Laura: “Ladies, allow me to be frank and honest with you. From the very beginning I never had any doubt that the two of you would ever be champions or winners for that matter. You’re the daughters of Samson and Bridgette Truelove, two of the most talented people on this planet, that was never my worry. The same with Sienna, Jennifer and Willow. They are everything I ever dreamed of when it comes to looks, posture and presence. In the ring Sienna is the World Champion, look at everything she has done to get there and yet look at the problems she has dealt with outside the ring with her vices Problems that have almost cost her millions, problems that have almost cost her careers. This is what I am trying to avoid with you. Willow is a professional, she doesn’t worry me. Jennifer is too young, she is willing to learn and that helps. You two though? Seem like the past continues to rear it’s ugly head and that alone is what concerns me, why the red flags are up, why I feel like if I don’t react now and be proactive then this will never come to fruition.”

London: “Ms. Steinbeck….”

 

Laura again stops London in her tracks before she is able to say anything. Paris grumbles, brushing her hair back in frustration, upset about everything that has transpired so far tonight. Paris tries to stay calm, London sighs….

 

Laura: “I am not finished. I have already learned from Sienna that distractions can cost you two everything that you’ve both worked hard for. You said it yourself, Paris, every day you think about what happened in Mexico? Maybe that brought something out of you, I don’t know but I must admit I was impressed with you two and Fatal Fortunes. Do you see what I have to deal with Sienna? Chris Cannon, Ikiro, her outburst, her abuse and family history, she is high maintenance and while yes, she ahs become World Champion those things will catch up after a while, I d not want that here.”

London: “It’s not.”

Paris: “Let us loose, believe in us. We can win that Chamber.”

 

The Fashionista shakes her head, pouring herself another glass of wine….

 

Laura: “No, you can’t, not in this state, which is why I’m going to fix it.”

Paris: “Fix it? What?”

London: “What Ms. Steinbeck?”

Laura: “Did you bring what I asked?”

Paris: “Yes.”

 

Paris walks over to her purse, she takes out a gun in a case and places it on the table. Laura rolls her eyes and walks to the front door, she has her phone in hand while London and Paris both look confused…..

 

Laura: “Si darling, esta abierto.”

London: “Ms. Steinbeck?”

Paris: “What the fuck?”

 

Laura opens the door and JC Trejo is standing there in a black suit and button up shirt, no tie. He has a henchman with him that follows the Mexican in, London quickly runs to Paris side as Trejo extends his arms….

 

JC: “Mira aqui! Look at this, my Truelove Twins, long time no see! Joo ladies are looking fine!”

Paris: “You stay away from her!”

JC: “Relax, relax munequa. I’m not here to cause any trouble. In fact, I’m on my way back to Mexico after my dealings here. It’s funny, Los Angeles is a mecca for Lucha Libre. I was thinking of starting my own promotion here based out of LA and it would be a good business venture.”

London: “Get out!”

Paris: “We don’t care about your ventures, what do you want?”

 

JC smirks, he looks over at Laura before pouring himself a glass of Brandy, swirling the glass for a second before sipping it…..

 

JC: “Ms. Steinbeck, joo got taste, senora.”

Laura: “Thank you darling.”

London: “Ms. Steinbeck!?”

JC: “Look, relax for a minute and let’s talk, okay? For almost two jeers, joo two stole from me. Forget about why, forget about the fact joo left me for dead in my bedroom bleeding out of my head like a pinche lechon asado! Maybe I got a bit fresh, I was drunk, joo started kissing on me while Paris was passed out….”

 

Paris turns to London who slowly starts to look away….

 

JC: “I asked if joo wanted to wake up joor sister, joo said no, let her sleep, we went upstairs and what happened? Maybe it got too much but joo know what? Did I deserve to be hit on the cabeza? Did I deserve to be robbed!?”

Paris: “Yes!”

JC: “Watch joorself munequa, I’m feeling pretty thankful tonight, don’t piss me off. I didn’t hurt your mama because she was beautiful, talented and most of all innocent in this. I had hoped I’d get this reaction out of you when she came to see you but most importantly? I everything you stole from me back.”

Paris: “How, we don’t have your cocaine anymore, JC. We spent half your money!”

JC: “I know, and it took everything that I had including joor manager to stop me from putting a bullet in joor head and taking joo, London back to Mexico to be my maranita. So, I suggest you let me talk and shut joor fucking mouth, Paris.”

 

As Paris is about to respond, London slams her palm and shuts it, Paris struggles a little, but London begs her with concern and fear on her face….

 

London: “Please don’t.”

 

Paris nods….

 

JC: “Muy Beuno! Let me explain really quickly, see, joo too are not my problem anymore. Ms. Steinbeck here a month ago called me out of the blue and told me who she was. I came up and met with her, I will say, I respect this woman and what she has done to fix this little problema we had. Not only is she funding my venture, she gave me back all my money, including the worth of the cocaine AND 50% more for my troubles for leaving joo alone after this. Joo two munequas are lucky. Go to church and thank God joo have her. Now, one last thing, mi pistola?”

 

London points at the table, he sits up, downs the Brandy and grabs it, opens the case and sees that it is intact, smirking and pointing it at the two Twins who embrace each other….

 

JC: “Relax, we are done. It’s been a pleasure, maybe it hasn’t, I don’t know. Joo ladies have a good life and stay pretty. See joo around munequas.”

 

JC starts to make his way toward the door, Laura hands him an envelope, JC nods, kissing Laura on each cheek. The henchman opens the door, JC walks out, Laura locking it after they leave. The Twins stand there both not knowing what to do and still trying to process what happened. Laura again protected her clients like she has Sienna on numerous occasions this time going a step further. She slowly creeps toward them, sipping her wine….

 

London: “…..”

Paris: “…. I….”

Laura: “Shhh. We’re done tonight. NOW, you go out there and WIN the Tag Team Championships and survive the Elimination Chamber. Your distractions have been eradicated. Show yourselves out the door, goodnight.”

 

Laura walks pasts them and starts to head up in her spiral staircase. London and Paris stand there in silence for a second before Paris finally speaks….

 

Paris: “Thank you…. Ms. Steinbeck.”

 

The Fashionista stops, turning and looking over her shoulder, she nods and heads back upstairs. London grabs Paris hand and leads her to the front door knowing that at least this chapter of their life is over…

Hopefully.

 

 

 

EPILOGUE: KARAOKE KING

 

It was one extreme to another. At Fatal Fortunes II, the Twins were not in action, they had to suit in the back and watch the Network who originally cost them the tag team titles thanks to Max Kane get a chance at the Lohan Country after London had beaten Dawn in one of her matches. Suddenly Xander Valentine was the next member of the Network, the same man that cost Sienna and the Twins the number 40 spot in Taking Hold of the Flame. London and Paris had to make some decisions, they understood that now they needed to be more aggressive moving forward and when Breakdown rolled into Edmonton, Alberta it was going to be their time to strike.

The Twins though were not just focused on themselves, they were focused on Sienna Swann, trying to protect the Angel from herself. How were they going to do that? Last week in Fatal fortunes they talked to Chris, they wanted him to understand just how in love Sienna was with him, they both knew that while the Golden Swann, the Iron Angel was one of the most beautiful women to look at, Chris and Kelcey Wallace were just too tight. Could it happen? Would it happen?

I guess they could chance it to fate but that was too unpredictable for the Truelove twins.

Either way, London and Paris had plans, they wanted to do more than just help Sienna, they wanted to open her eyes. There was an x-factor to all of this however.

Ikiro Yoshida.

Why would the Twins approach Ikiro after they practically begged Chris to take Sienna, to show her some love? Only the Twins knew that answer and the best way to get to Ikiro and talk to him about a woman they both knew he cared dearly and was in love with, use it to their advantage and at the same time put Sienna in a situation where she will finally have to choose benefiting the entire Beauty Factory.

Fatal Fortunes II
Milwaukee, WI.

 

Ikiro was successful that night have won a tag team match with Derek Adonis, the Twins knew that Chris wasn’t there, so it was the perfect opportunity to apply some charm and approach the young Japanese star who has always been nice and welcomed them with open arms. London and Paris both wore jeans and black boots, matching white halter tops with their long hair hanging down and nails a glossy coat. Ikiro was already out of the shower, drying up with only a towel around him, he was caught by surprised as Paris closes the door behind her.

They walked in without Laura having no knowledge of this….

 

London: “It must be our lucky day Paris.”

Paris: “Looks that way, London.”

 

The two women pause in the strides and look to admire Ikiro whose only piece of modesty right now is protected by his hand and a towel…

 

Ikiro: “Twins? Uh…. EyeYoshi, naked?”

Paris: “Oh that’s okay love, we don’t mind. Nice butt by the way.”

London: “Go on with what you’re doing, don’t mind us, we are just here to talk about Sienna.”

 

The compliment to his butt put a smile on Ikiro’s face, His ears perk up at the sound of Sienna’s name….

 

Ikiro: “Is Sienna okay?”

Paris: “No, she’s not and that is why we are here to talk to you about her, it’s pretty bad EyeYoshi, I mean really, REALLY bad!”

The tone to Paris and the expression on her face, one of concern is replicated by London. The two women approach Ikiro and place their arms on his bare chest…

 

Ikiro: “Please, you can tell EyeYoshi.”

Paris: “I think we need you more than ever in this, we are approaching a very dangerous situation and if you don’t do something about it, I’m afraid that we could all lose Sienna…. Even you.”

Ikiro: “Me? What is wrong with Sienna.”

 

London and Paris both glance at one another, sadly, frowning at the thought of what is about to happen to Sienna. They each grab a hand and lead him to the chair, they sit next to him. His towel falls to his feet and both look down at what Ikiro is packing and lose their train of thought for a moment…

 

Paris: “Uh…”

 

London starts first with her speech….

 

London: “First off… I want to congratulate you on the win tonight, if anyone can carry that perverted fat fart, Derek a Penis… I mean Adonis… it’s you love. Seeing you out there was magical.”

Paris: “Like we were at Disney World magical.”

Ikiro: “EyeYoshi likes Disney World.”

Paris: “So do we, next time we are in Orlando, we’ll go, it’s a date!”

London: “That is with Sienna of course unless you don’t do something right away. I thought it was important for us to come here tonight and talk to you, it’s like you’re an inspiration to us, seeing you out there in the ring carrying your partner….”

 

Ikiro cuts her off….

 

Ikiro: “EyeYoshi didn’t carry Adonis, he too heavy.”

The Twins both let out giggles, they kiss him each on the chin, Ikiro’s eyes widen and he promptly picks up the towel and covers his modesty….

 

Paris: “This is why we like you so much Ikiro and why we are concerned about what is going to happen and we both want you to be aware of everything.”

Ikiro: “With who? Sienna?”

London: “And Chris Cannon.”

 

His eyes squint a little…..

 

Paris: “He’s a married man, Ikiro. Kelcey Wallace is a good woman, she was very nice to you, right?”

Ikiro: “Kelcey, she is very nice. Always treated EyeYoshi with respect.”

London: “She is also very pregnant. We overheard Chris and Sienna talking, she is with child and yet Chris is playing Sienna. He wants control of her, she is a woman that loves Chris and she loves you, she is very torn right now, Chris knows that, so he wants Sienna and Kelcey to himself. Kelcey when he goes home, Sienna when he is out on the road. Sienna is in a very fragile state…”

 

Ikiro sits there trying to take in all the words the beautiful twins are saying, he’s still learning but doing a remarkable job all the same. Paris rubs his thigh softly and reassuringly…

 

Paris: “We’re confusing him Paris, lets slow it down a little. we need to explain to you the history first I think.”

Ikiro: “History?”

Paris: “Yes, history. See, when Chris Cannon first came to the SCW, he had left GDW and it was for only one reason, Kelcey Wallace. The first time he met her, he said she was the one, that was until Sienna showed up in the SCW 18 months later.”

Ikiro: “So?”

London: “Chris lied.”

 

Ikiro’s eyes widen….

 

Paris: “What’s troubling about all of this is that for years Sienna liked Chris, they hit it off right away, Chris, Sienna even caught Blake Mason and Kelcey Wallace kissing, Chris tried to play it off like he didn’t care and it was all Blake, sure, it probably was, that domkopf can’t keep his pecker in his pants, not surprising. That’s the troubling part though, Chris pretended that he didn’t care but in reality, he wanted to use Sienna against Kelcey and Blake.”

London: “Sienna is a good person Ikiro, think about this for a moment. When Chris went down to injury, he thought he was taking Blake out, all in the name of Kelcey, was that really the fact? Or was he doing it for Sienna the whole time who in turn sided with Kelcey and went after Blake and Bree only to be piledriven from the second rope and paralyzed temporarily. Do you know how that must feel for Sienna?”

Lowering his head, Yoshida shakes it, mumbling the word “No”…

 

Paris: “It changed Sienna after that love. She was never the same, a woman that on the outside is strong, confident and polarizing, on the inside she is screaming for help, ready to break apart, fall back into her drugs and alcohol….”

Ikiro: “NO!”

The Twins were caught by surprise at the reaction of Ikiro. London places her hand on his shoulder, Paris on his thigh again….

 

Ikiro: “I should go see the Angel…”

 

Ikiro tries to stand but the twins manage to keep him sat down both resting their heads on his shoulder now…

 

London: “Calm down, see you can change all of this Ikiro. Look what Chris has done since he came back? All proper and good, dressed up in his suit and tie, being the gentleman that he is and causing Sienna to embarrass herself, throwing her body at him on television only to reject her constantly when deep down inside she is in love with YOU.”

 

Paris glances down…

 

Paris: “That’s right, she loves all of you, but Chris has like these evil powers that attract Sienna to him, he manipulates her, promises Sienna the world, all he ever wants is to take, take and take some more and is that fair to Sienna? Is that fair to you? To Kelcey? To us? We are supposed to be protecting her and that’s why we were so behind you being with Sienna, you made her smile…..”

London: “…. You made her glow.”

Paris: “…. You made her happy.”

London: “…. You made her clean and THAT my friend is the most important thing. You never took advantage of her in her fragile state ever.”

Ikiro: “I would never…”

Paris: “We know… Just like we know what you did on Valentine’s day when her engagement ended.”

Ikiro: “Because of EyeYoshi…”

Paris: “No love, it wasn’t your fault it was because her fiancé was a domkop. Chris is playing on her addiction, he thinks that by supporting her in AA and other focus groups that he could move right in, break her trust and then get away with everything!”

Paris: “He’s trying to break her down so that when she hits rock bottom, he can be her Superman.”

 

It was a lot to take in, but Ikiro understood what was being said. His eyes start to narrow, his fists begin to clench…..

 

Ikiro: “He is no Superman to EyeYoshi.”

London: “No he isn’t and that is why we are here. Ikiro, we love Sienna, she is more than just a friend to us, The Beauty Factory is more than just a group. This has become a family and we can see Laura angrier by the day thanks to people like Chris Cannon who suddenly come here and move in to take her from you…..”

 

Paris leans in and whispers in his ear….

 

Paris: “Just like they took your wife and daughter the last time.”

 

Ikiro’s eyes slowly close, the anger can be seen forming after what the Twins have been telling him. He sits there quietly for a moment. London rubs his back, slowly running her nails on his skin to give him some sort of pleasure to sooth the savage beast, Paris holds his hand, kissing it and trying to calm him some….

 

London: “You are our friend. We are yours, right?”

Ikiro: “Yes. You have always been good to me…”

London: “Then help us here to take back Sienna from Chris Cannon. All he wants to do is have his cake and eat it too. He says he’s helping Sienna? What happens when he breaks her heart? She loves you Ikiro, she’s in lust with Chris, it’s a big difference. Sometimes women, they go after what they think they can’t have, for so many years she has been infatuated with Chris, people claim that Sienna wants everything Kelcey had, that’s not true. Sienna can have anything she wants and more Ikiro if she chose to take it. Chris won’t ever allow that because he has to be in control. He learned that from that scum bag, Silas Mason…”

Paris: “Look at it this way, see the Domestic Violence Conference Amy Chastaine is having in a few weeks? It’s people like Chris Cannon the reason they exist. He is mentally abusing Sienna, what is next? Physical abuse? Do any of us want to see Sienna become a victim of that and when she is rejected by Chris in turn could go back to her vices or even worse?”

 

A look of concern befalls Ikiro’s face…

 

Paris: “Sienna loves you Ikiro, all she could ever talk about was you after the rocky start you two had and when Chris showed up, like we said, something came over her, an evil power by Chris and while he wants to play innocent, or act like he’s a good family man or some great husband to a pregnant woman that is sitting at home with a degenerative disease as he looks to use Sienna as his side booty? No…. you are the ONE for Sienna, Ikiro and you are the ONE that needs to do something about it.”

Ikiro continues to listen in silence, so many thoughts going through his head. London rubs his chest and turns his face toward to her….

 

London: “We will never let anything bad happen to you and Sienna, the only way that will happen though is if we fight and we fight and do not stop fighting every single day until she comes back home to you, love.”

Paris: “She’s right. Do you want to lose another love of your life again like you did the last time?”

 

Just as Paris finished that sentence, Ikiro pops to his feet, he starts pacing as the towel drops to the floor again, a scowl on his face when suddenly he breaks out in Japanese…

 

Ikiro: <”I am not going to lose another love of my life again! I will not stand by and watch Chris Cannon hurt Sienna thinking that he can use her at will! I have been tiring of these games of the SCW for a long time now and they do not respect the World Champion! They do not respect The Truelove Twins or Laura and they have always been good to EyeYoshi!”>

 

Ikiro turns to face twins, standing in all his glory. Both Paris and London look down averting their eyes but can’t help glancing up occasionally while he continues to talk….

 

Ikiro: <”I love Sienna, there is no question about that, I want her to be with EyeYoshi, he will take care of her, not Chris Cannon! I didn’t know what to do, she told me that she loved me, that it was just difficult for her with Chris Cannon, but I cannot do this anymore! She will not be taken from me and this gaijin will NOT take Sienna, he will not hurt her anymore! You want EyeYoshi to do something about it!? EyeYoshi will do something about it!”>

 

The Twins sit there wide eyed, watching this Japanese man screaming in his native tongue completely naked, not understanding a word that he is saying. He finally settles down, takes a deep breath and nods…..

 

Ikiro: “Are we done?”

Paris: “Uh… yeah, yeah we are done.”

London: “Absolutely. Just remember what we told you.”

Ikiro: “EyeYoshi, remembers.”

Paris: “Great, look, Sienna is alone tonight, maybe you should take her out for some cheese and pate”

London: “She would really like that.”

Ikiro: “Hai.”

Paris: “Well, hi to you too handsome.”

London: “No London, Hai In Japanese is yes.”

Paris: “Oh right, silly me.”

 

The Twins start to make their way out of the dressing room. They both stop, turn around to see Ikiro standing there with a bulge in his towel which he has now picked back up and wrapped around his waist….

 

London: “I guess he was happy to see us.”

Paris: “Donkey’s get erections when they are mad and….”

London: “Stop, I don’t even want to hear how YOU know that.”

 

They both wave at an angry Ikiro as they close the door behind them and walk down the hallway….

 

Paris: “What the bloody fuck did he say?”

London: “I have no clue, but he was pissed, that’s a good thing.”

 

They fist pump…

 

London: “I think that went rather well, don’t you think?”

Paris: “I think so, better than expected.”

 

As the two make their way into the Beauty Factor dressing room, both Sienna and Laura are there. Sienna still in her wrestling gear after defending the title against Alexis Quinne, Laura in her black suit and red shoes with matching blouse….

She is tapping her foot impatiently with a suspicious look in her eyes….

 

Laura: “Where did you two head off to again? I have been trying to get you a Tag Team Title match and you’re nowhere to be found! Under Attack is righty around the corner and there is a rumor of a tag team Elimination Chamber match. I need to confirm this and if it is true, we need to be ready. After this Fatal Fortunes debacle, I am ready to throw whatever I can at this management. So, stop wandering off doing god know knows what and focus!”

London: “Yes Ms. Steinbeck.”

Paris: “Whatever you say.”

Laura: “Good, now help Sienna clean up, we have places to be.”

As Laura storms out of the room and slams the door, the Twins turn to Sienna who rubs her fingers through her sweaty hair before grabbing her things to shower….

 

Sienna: “Don’t worry about her girls. She’s under a lot of pressure, allowing Mr. D to get to her, don’t worry, just stick to your guns, you’ll have the tag titles around your waist before you know it. It took me 4 years to get the World title, while I don’t admit it out there at times I’m glad it took me this long. I earned this, just like I know you two will earn the tag titles.”

London: “Thanks Sienna.”

Paris: “That means a lot coming from you.”

Sienna: “Don’t mention it.”

 

The Angel was about to walk into the showers when London grabs her arm….

 

Sienna: “What’s wrong?”

Paris: “It’s… It’s nothing…”

Sienna: “You can’t just do that and then not me… What’s the matter? Has something happened?”

Paris: “… No it’s just… It’s Ikiro.”

 

Sienna turns to face Paris now….

 

Sienna: “What’s wrong with Ikiro!?”

London: “Nothing, we don’t think… It’s just Paris and I were talking and think you need to go out with him tonight.”

Sienna: “Wait, last week you told me to spoon Chris (Cannon), I went to his room and no one answered, I don’t even think he was there. He’s been a bit standoffish and frankly, it’s starting to piss me off. Whatever, he can’t resist me forever.”

Paris: “We know. No one can resist you, you’re too beautiful! But I think you should skip Chris, go out with Ikiro tonight, he’ll be looking for you.”

 

Sienna’s eyes narrow….

 

Sienna: “You talked to him too?”

London: “We? No.”

Paris: “No… no… no.”

London: “He’s fun.”

Sienna: “He is fun, we’ll see.”

 

The World Champion grabs her towel and heads into the showers, London looks at Paris, cracking smirks as their plan is coming together nicely and when this is over, Sienna won’t have to choose….

The decision will be made for her.

 

 

SCENE FADES

 

---

 

 

REC:

 

 

“Were we Fortunate?

Some experts may say yes, Paris and I were victorious in our matches though neither one of us were in a tag team match. Instead we were tested, random draws determined our opponents and the Match stipulation. For Paris it was a Strap match against one of the members of Har Megiddo, Kali and she choked her practically to death, the mon froppie couldn’t take it and she bloody tapped. I must admit, I am proud of my sister, I really look up to her even if I’m the older one by four minutes. To see my sister, compete in a singles match considering we haven’t wrestled without each other in the corner was a happening in itself. A strap match, yes and guess what? She defeated another member of a tag team here so what does that mean?

Once again, we show our dominance over this division.

Did it stop there?

No, then I was next, chosen to wrestle in a House of Fun match, inspired by Sienna Swann and her Television Title win last year in the same contest. Madison Steward and Dawn Lohan were the other two involved in my match, again members of the tag team division, one-half of the Champions and former World Champion, the other a student of a legend and what happened? I bashed the Champion with a chair over and over, I pinned Madison Steward and TWO times in one night the Truelove Twins had their dominance on display.

I don’t know about all of you, but Paris and I erased all doubt that we more than earned our share and a chance at the Tag Team championship. Ms. Steinbeck is right though, Sienna Swann is also right, it seems like we will be put through every single hoop and hurdle instead of just given our outright chance? What more did we need to prove? You put Paris in a strap match? She chokes the life out of Kali. You place me in a House of Fun and who leaves a Former World Champion and current Tag Team Champion laid out on the mats?

ME.

Do we have a reason to be angry? Frustrated? Annoyed? Yes, we do and there is nothing that will change our mood and look, I’m very friendly, I mean you come and talk to me and I may take a selfie with you or even give you an autograph, I’m approachable so it’s not like I have a bad attitude, Paris, sure I can see that, she can be a bit brash and standoffish, yet that is what makes us unique, we are not the same yet we are Twins. I must say though with a very heavy heart that if something isn’t done about this and soon?

You won’t be able to tell us apart as I’m not going to play nice anymore.

Our time is now SCW, stop playing the games or else understand…..

That the Beauty Factory?

At Under Attack against ALL odds?

May need to start getting a little ugly.”

TWIN KILLING

NUMBER ONE WITH A TWIN BULLET

 

 

The Scene Opens….

 

Saltair, also The SaltAir, Saltair Resort, or Saltair Pavilion, is the name that has been given to several resorts located on the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, United States, about fifteen miles from Salt Lake City. Proximity to Interstate 80, plus new population expansion into the Tooele Valley and the western Salt Lake Valley, prompted the construction of a third Saltair in 1981. The new pavilion was constructed out of a salvaged US Air Force aircraft hangar and located approximately a mile west of the original. Once again, the lake was a problem, this time flooding the new resort only months after it opened. The waters again receded after several years, and again new investors restored and repaired and planned, only to discover that the waters continued to move away from the site, again leaving it high and dry.

Concerts and other events have been held at the newest facility, but by the end of the 1990s, Saltair was little more than a memory, too small to compete with larger venues that were closer to the public. While there is occasionally activity now and then, through most of the early twenty-first century, the third Saltair was all but abandoned. In 2005 several investors from the music industry pooled together to purchase the building and are now holding regular concerts there. Bands, singers, and DJs such as George Clinton, Green Day, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Ruth Mendoza, Bob Dylan, The Used, Dave Matthews Band, The Black Crowes, Deadmau5, Tiësto, DJ Baby Anne, Evanescence, Panic! at the Disco, Children Of Bodom, and other notable hip-hop music and rock music acts have all performed there recently. On February 18, 2011, Kesha performed to a sold-out crowd on her Get Sleazy Tour. Here is where we find The Truelove Twins, usually both London and Paris find their way to any venues when on their free time they can perform in some DJ capacity, the Saltair III was the place. That is only for entertainment though….

Their main focus?

Under Attack.

After their accomplishments in the Tag Team Division with victories over every single tag team they have faced except Lohan Country that ended in a no-contest thanks to Max Kane and the Network, the Twins opened the eyes of many after Fatal Fortunes showing the entire Wrestling world the meddle they were maid of in singles competition in strenuous situations. The iron was hot, and it was now time to strike. They signaled to the cameraman to hook up the live feed with Laura Steinbeck, who was in a white business suit, red blouse and matching open toed pumps with her hair down in St. Bart’s via satellite, the Twin both were wearing black pleather pants and jacket, matching knee-high black boots, Paris had on a yellow halter top, London a sky blue one, their straightened hair hung down, nails a French. The Fashionista knew how important this was for them which is why she made an appearance to talk….

 

REC:

 

As the camera started to roll, it was Laura’s feed that started first while the Truelove Twins stood behind watching until it was over and then it would cut back to them. There is a beach behind Laura, in the distance the World Champion, Sienna Swann is modeling a new line of beach wear….

 

“Did you really think I would miss my Truelove Twins moment to shine in the Elimination Chamber to become the NUMBER ONE contender to the tag team titles, belts that have been on Lohan Country for far too long, lucky to have survived Fatal Fortunes and the two matches where Max Kane interfered, costing London and Paris their right to wear this gold. As you can see, I am here in St. Bart’s where I’m with YOUR World Champion, Sienna Swann, with a new photoshoot and line of beach wear that will come out for the Spring next year as part of her deal with Victoria Secret and Vogue. Now, while some of you have been rather vocal about your World Champion not being at Under Attack, let’s all be honest here darlings….

There was no contender for Sienna, consider yourselves privileged.

It’s a shame what happened to AJ Helms, it really is and for that we all hope he has a speedy recovery. That is not why I am here though talking to all of you in the world of the SCW, what this is ALL about at Under Attack is the Truelove Twins and their quest to become the World Tag Team Champions. Do you know how hard we have worked to even get a chance? Many can say the Twins were given that opportunity at Rise to Greatness and a few weeks later on Breakdown but let’s be honest with ourselves ladies and gentlemen, if you watch the footage it has been thwarted by stupidity and outside interference. What I have right now in front of you is not just a collection of the most beautiful women and men on the planet, the constant barraging by the skeptics who complain about models in wrestling and yet the GREATEST wrestler ALIVE is exactly that holding the most prestigious title in the planet which bares me to ask the question…

Are your facts true?

Or simple opinion by the jealous hypocrites who wish they were walking in the heels of the Beauty Factory? Please, turn your undivided attention to London and Paris Truelove. Have they lost a two on tow tag team match? No, if anything what these two women did was defeat almost ALL the tag team division present in this Chamber already. Do we have to go back and name every single one? Do I need to state my case the Truelove Twins should ALREADY be the Number One contender, and this is a simple forgone conclusion? I am disappointed that not only did Mr. D decide to put my two girls into the Chamber but also starting it out. What does that mean for us?

We are in a very dangerous situation where an injury can occur?

The Twins will need to go through every single tag team to walk out the winners?

Our chances they survive are slim to none?

Do we ever believe in the odds? The answer is no. As a matter of fact, I welcome these odds, I want this to be the moment where my Twins walk out winners and there are no excuses. Time is money, their faces are worth more than most of you in the Chamber make in a year and still, they will be put to the test just like they have at Fatal Fortunes and were they not Fortunate? Not by bravery, by skill, knowledge and most importantly…..

Talent.

Five teams will learn a hard lesson in life that no matter when they enter the Chamber, London and Paris WILL be there waiting and when they do? One by one they will fall until the Chamber rises and the Truelove Twins walk out as the next World Tag Team Champions no matter who wins out of Lohan Country and this mockery of Bree and Jason.

Goodbye darlings enjoy Under Attack and now I present to you….

THE TRUELOVE TWINS!”

 

Laura smiles before the satellite feed cuts out. The footage is now directed right back at London and Paris, the two women that have the unenviable task of entering first in the Chamber and challenging five other times for a shot at the World Tag Team Titles. London and Paris have been waiting a long time for this, patiently for their REAL chance at the title and if they need to continue proving they are the top tag team in the SCW, so be it. London steps up as Paris is right behind her, speaking in their native South African accents….

 

“Thank you, Ms. Steinbeck, it’s a shame she is not with us today but in all reality, she needs to be there with Sienna Swann, your World Champion, as for us? There is only one thing that we are concerned with, the Elimination Chamber. Let’s talk a little about history, shall we? Is there any team who has beaten us so far? Pinned our shoulders to the mat? No. There are those who are getting the same chance at us for the tag team titles and we find that unfair. The SCW seems to go in circles, Ms. Steinbeck warned us of that when we first entered, trying to find ANY little excuse from giving us an outright shot which we have already earned. Instead, we are put in the belly of the steel beast, a construction that gives no mercy, it has no take, it changes careers and even ends them. Paris and I know what are asked of us, the question stands though, five other teams are getting a fair shot, why are we not?”

“I can answer that London, as we stand here in front of a venue that houses some of the most decorated music acts in the world, we wanted to stand out here in a paltry and mundane city like Salt Lake. The people here are annoying, the crowds tend to simply ignore greatness, they don’t know that history is about to be made and with the SCW making our road to the titles more difficult than ANYONE else in the Chamber, I often wonder why so blatantly? Mr. D and his daughters know that if London and I were given a fair shot to draw a spot in the Chamber and come in not as the first team, it would be a foregone conclusion, who would win, us. How does that make the rest of you in this match feel? That we are the biggest threat with former World Champions in there and yet they think so low of you all to screw us over? Make it easier, the path of least resistance? London and I are used to against the odds, no one ever thought we would amount to anything, even our parents pretty much sent us away, living in Mexico, not knowing where we were staying, it was the life on the road, the privileged can talk about how great their careers are, even James Evans wants to take a walk into memory lane with all the great tag teams of course he only named a few. For us?”

“We don’t give a damn about SCW history. You want to talk about history mon froppies? Do we care about tradition and what it stands for? No, the problem is here there’s a bit of mis-communication, a failure to understand who WE are and what WE represent. I am London, this is Paris and we are the Truelove Twins but even more important than this? WE are tag team wrestling. Do you believe the Chamber changes that? Are Paris and I supposed to be intimidated by what lurks ahead? A team with two former World Champions, one of them a psychotic serial killer who preyed on woman, ask that domkopf, Kennedy Street, she’ll give you the lowdown on Mr. Evans. Or what about Sam Raine, a GDW Hall of Famer from a land long dead yet her reputation is definitely one to take notice? Do you see the concern on our faces?”

“No and that is exactly why Mr. D decided to stick it to Laura Steinbeck and the Beauty Factory. He doesn’t want us as tag team Champions, he can’t fathom the thought of the Beauty Factory holding more gold and yet, that’s okay with everyone else? This bias? Our mother was a starving actress once, working in cheap diners and eateries to make ends meet. Our father was a football coach in high school making the bare minimum until he took the women to ten South African titles and was picked to coach the International team. Our mum became one of the best-known actresses of all time in our country and they both beat the odds. Every single day they were told that you would never make it….. and they did.”

“Didn’t so many people in the SWA and NEWA tell us the same thing before we went on our hiatus? They doubted us, we were too small or too cute, we didn’t match up to the big sweaty men yet since we were Twins they gave us attention.”

“The wrong kind of attention and yes, and for a moment, we believed them.”

“Is this going to curtail our road to the titles? Throw us off the tracks and the path we started to get there?”

“Never, if anything it will give us not only motivation, lots of incentive and most importantly, great resolve.”

 

The Twins look at one another for a moment and fist pump. London and Paris are more than determined to not only make this work, they will look to become the Number One Contender against all odds. Being chosen as number one already puts their chances at great risk with all the other good tag teams in there. They know it and plan to prove everyone wrong so when they do come out on top, there will be no excuses. Paris looks on and speaks….

 

“How many hoops and hurdles must we jump through? We are the best tag team in the SCW and world, yet Lohan Country week after week have been given the hall pass. If it wasn’t for the incompetence of The Network than it was some silly vote or draw? Now Jason Helms and Bree Lancaster get tag team title shots and ALL we have been doing since the very beginning is beat the best teams this company has to offer, and you want to talk about history? Dark Fantasy has NOTHING on us. The Next Level has NOTHING on us. The Cashmere Mafia has NOTHING on us. I could name tag team after tag team but why waste our time? They are buried in the annuls of history and no matter how many times you say their name, they will NEVER come back and reach the prominence they once had for it is OUR time now. London and I have waited EIGHT long years to hold the top tag title in the world, this is it and still, we need resistance? There are many questions unanswered, we have a Redemption? A Chance for Pain? A Team of Desire? Devils dressed in hair skin and an Empire? Did the Red Empire earn this right?”

“Last time I recall, we beat them so bad, they were sent packing and disappeared only to return and be given this? Scarlet Grey and Ruby Amarant will never be US, they can never reach our level, we proved that already and, in the Chamber, they are gifted a chance by doing nothing but taking a vacation? Playing games with that idiot, Blackbourne? I’m sorry, where did we miss the memo? Har Megiddo failed at Fatal Fortunes against us in singles competition, failed at WTF Wednesday, they are big, mean and stupid. What have they done? It’s a shame really that right under their noses, the only team fit to wear the gold is us, going well with our fashion, our look, are we afraid that either Paris or I will get some cuts? Bruises? Lacerations? Sure…. It’s okay, scars are sexy.”

“That they are but we are not concerned, we have the right, the talent, the everything that has been asked of us to be where we are today and ibn one simple little abuse of power, we are then send to the lion’s den first? Tell me something James Evans and Angelica Jones, as former World Champions are you a little nervous? All eyes are on you, if anything you two are the perennial favorites to win, how do you think we feel about that? How does a man who practically went psycho and had multiple personalities get a second chance? What about you Dragon? The great Angelica Jones who is the Matriarch of the Jones family, so proud of your name and everything it stands for, what would it do to TWO World Champions if we left the Number One Contenders? James Evans, you make me sick, you’re a fraud, trying to get your life back together, tell me domkopf, do you stare at your fiancé at night sleeping, thinking of all kinds of nasty things to do to her? Maybe wish she was Kennedy Street or Amy Chastaine? You do Not deserve this opportunity, you should be locked up in an institution with Dylan Howell! As for you Angelica? Couldn’t stay away? That lust for the spotlight was too much for you didn’t come back to help James, oh no, each of you have individual goals hoping that they come true and then what?”

“Turn on each other after you accomplished this one goal? The SCW doesn’t need makeshift tag teams like The Redemption with a bunch of wankers who had their time in the spotlight, why don’t you disappear already? A true story where we all are supposed to be inspired by what? A man that should be in a sanatorium? That is their answer to always trying to enhance the division, putting a bunch of people that would rather carry singles gold, this is passing time, a hobby to them, a chance to fill in the gaps until that next title match is set for them. No, just go…. seriously.”

“Better yet, once we eliminate you and these four other tag teams, it will be your ticket home, written in lipstick courtesy of us. Red Empire, Har Megiddo, Team Desire aka the Stewards, what do they all have in common? They have fallen at our feet. HALF of this Chamber has been beaten by us and if we surprised the world when we decided to run out and beat the hell out of Har Megiddo and the “Chance of Pain” with chairs. Did you think that we would just go idly by and watch this ruse unfold in front of our eyes? Oh no, if we are going to be at a disadvantage so are the rest of you. Sam Raine and Crissy Gardner, I think the ones who are a bit over confident is you. Seems like you have luck riding on your side. How many chances are you going to get Sam to make good on your potential and promises? Sienna has already embarrassed you twice, do you really want more of the same?”

“A glutton for punishment and as for Gardner, how much of that potential is wasted? Words are words, we can all speak them, we ca radiate every single word to mean something and the hardest part is the follow through. Can you do that Crissy? You and Sam talk a big game, if that won Championships, you maybe the champs forever. That’s not the case though is it? We have to do good on our promises and if we don’t? Then where does that leave you and credibility? On the flip side, hags, it makes you dangerous and that entices us just a little more hence why we picked on you. Again, another situation where two people who deserve nothing are given our opportunities and we do ALL the work, it’s sickening, it’s tiring and that is why we attacked you two bitches, we are done playing nice and it is time the Beauty Factory gets a little ugly!”

 

The Twins are not in a great mood, knowing their spot, they can at least have a game plan going in though it will be tough for either of them to stick with it. So many teams coming in at intervals will make it tough for the Twins to stay focused. Laura has them ready, they know what is at stake, for the Twins it is one thing and that is to walk out as the next challengers for the Tag Team titles. London and Paris have their work cut out for them, they are ready. London speaks….

 

“Is this what you wanted? Then you have it. Gigi and Maddie Steward are talented, they learned from the best and still, twice we beat them, in tag team and Fatal Fortunes? When does the Beauty Bias end? I’ll tell you when it ends….”

“….. the minute the bell rings after the Chamber and we are announced the winners! Chance of Pain, Team Desire, Red Empire, Har Megiddo and finally Redemption. You all have been given the Golden ticket to a shot at the tag team titles. The road ahead for one of you will start with us and then it will continue one by one for all the teams in the Chamber will sooner or later come head to head with the Truelove Twins.”

“There are no excuses.”

“Only failure that result from this match, not for us, for all of you.”

“James Evans knows the threat, he understands we are the only danger to his championship hopes and dreams, he fears the Twins, he maybe disguising himself as a normal man but no conference or Be Brave badge will change the fact he’s a monster, a wolf in Sheep’s clothing. You can help yourself Mr. Evans, why? The woman standing next to you concerns and brings in a little doubt. You can count on her like Paris and I can no matter what you say or do. Know that all five of these teams needed help from the boss, every single one needed the rub as Sienna always says. We understand now what the Iron Angel has been through, being part of her journey, it was the same obstacles thrown at her like now they have us. Maybe we are not being taken serious.”

“They probably underestimate us. Think we are a simple afterthought due to our entry into the Chamber, That’s fine, we like shocks and surprises.”

“We step into that chamber first, we don’t get a chance to rest, we don’t get a chance to watch other teams beat each other up and then come in for the pickings like a bunch of vultures. Paris and I instead must be on guard, each time that silly light goes on another team enters. We don’t have the luxury of chance and we never needed it.”

“There were promises that needed to be kept, from Rise to Greatness until now all we have seen is being passed over, that ENDS NOW. London and I are not in a joking mood anymore, we are coming for something more than just a shot and a terrifying match inside the Chamber, we are looking for respect and when the Truelove Twins are done?”

“You WILL respect us!”

“Does Chance of Pain stand any kind of chance in winning the Chamber?”

“NO!”

“Can Har Megiddo bully and steamroll their way to the title?”

“NO!”

“Will Team Desire bring gold to the Goddess!?”

“NO!”

“Is the Red Empire read to take the throne in the SCW!?”

“NO!”

The Redemption? Can they have their moment in the spotlight again!?”

“NO! NO! NO!”

“It is a known fact that drive and desire conquer all. We are that and so much more. Talent, Charisma, Heart and finally the won thing that separates us from all of you?”

“Unity.”

“We are one and we will stand tall at the end when each Chamber opens….”

 

The two sisters glance at one another as Paris starts to speak…..

 

“It won’t be double the fun, it will be Double the suffering, Double the disappointment and double the heartbreak…..

For everyone in that Elimination Chamber goes down, yes EVERYONE….

“In a TWIN KILLING!”

 

London and Paris start to smirk, London let’s out a slight giggle, brushing her hair back while Paris’s eyes narrow, ready for what may come as the first entrants to the Elimination Chamber….

Walking out as Number One contenders to the World Tag Team Titles.

 

 

FADE TO BLACK
