Help? [o2 M.Wilson, J. Drew and Lessien (?)]

[Shelby Danes]

The show begins with a distrubed Shelby Steele sitting backstage, the camera recording this live, as plot between Lessien and Shelby plunges into something maybe a bit more disturbing then originally planned. Shelby, giving the camera a look before getting up from her seat, begins to look around the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

Her hair looked to be a complete mess, and her choice of clothing was...messy to say the least. It almost looked like she hadn't bathed since her appearence on MayheM, a week ago, and oddly, developed a habit of gnawing on the rim of her right thumb, as she opened doors, left and right, not saying a word.

As she turned a corner, she noticed a quick a wave of pink hair take a corner down a hallway, and Shelby immediately began to chase after it. It meant one thing, and one thing only, Jennifer Drew was in the building, and since they had a history, she felt that Jennifer could perhaps help her in her new situation.

However, just as it seemed Shelby was about to tap on her shoulder, someone called out her name, making her pause in her tracks immediately. Closing her eyes, not wanting to deal with whomever decided to interupt her chase, she turns around, and is greeted by...

Mikki Wilson. Since the last time she had talked to Shelby, she had changed. The last time Mikki was drunk and depressed and angry. Now though...she was determined. Determined to prove that she did belong here regardless of the doubters that were everywhere. To prove that hard work does mean something in this business still.

"Shelby, I gotta thank you for calming me down a while back. I think I woulda ripped that little bitch Ink's head off."

[Shelby Danes]

Disorientated, Shelby was having trouble understanding what Mikki was saying. Placing her hand on her forehead, she closed her eyes, and tried to focus. "Hello Michelle," was the only thing she could sputter out before losing her train of thought. "Umm...I'm sorry, I don't seem to be myself at the moment...I'm afraid I've completely forgotten what we were talking about. What? They were in a conversation? Shaking her head, she tries to feel a little more comfortable, I'm looking for someone to face tonight," she scratches her head rather nervously, "And I can't seem to find anyone, I thought I saw Jennifer a minute ago...but I think she's gone. You wouldn't happen to know anyone who's...free?"

[vault]

Looking slightly oddly at the disoriented Shelby Mikki resonds.

" Well I'm free... "

[Shelby Danes]

"Well, you might be free but..." Shelby begins, looking around. She really wanted to not only face Jennifer Drew for one last time, but perhaps talk to her. The closest friend she has in this company, and after their little night of drinking after her PPV victory, she felt she had some sort of connection with her. She knew Jen would help given her new situation, "...I've never gone against you before, so I suppose we can go at in the ring tonight." She was getting rather jumpy, for some reason, the thought of facing someone completely new was beginning to excite her. "It's my chance to show Lessien how deserving I am, once I do I can finally get rewarded her lov--" Shelby stopped herself as she gave the camera crew a blank stare. What was she saying? This didn't make any sense. The Shelby Steele from just a few weeks ago was never like this.

Looking in an opposite direction, she nervously looks back up towards Mikki, "I'm sorry, but I think something's wrong with me..."

Mikki has had her share of personal relationship drama as of late so she wasn't even gonna ask about what Shelby meant by that. She also didn't really care. You could call it being a bitch if you want but she had stopped worrying about others problems.

" I'm gonna be honest here, after what I've been through with shit like that...I don't care. I don't even wanna know. I'm not here to hear about problems. No offense but that's just how it is for me right now. I'm free for tonight and so are you, if you don't wanna face me just say it and I'll go and find someone else to fight tonight. "

[Jennifer Drew]

Yeah, someone like me.

Said Jennifer as she walked into the shot. She strikes a quick fight stance then waves to Shelby and Mikki.
Jennifer was on her way back down the hallway after Shelby saw her walk by earlier but she stopped when she heard Shelby and Mikki talking. She'd only caught Mikki's last line though.

Mikki, hey. Don't think we've ever actually met outside of the ring, but I guess we can't say that any more.

Shelby, long time no see, you're looking...

Jennifer had started that sentence before actually seeing how Shelby looked and once she got the total picture she stopped herself. Deciding “hoboish” wouldn't be polite she trails off.

Uh... nevermind.So, everything cool here? Sounds like you're talking matches.

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby begins to touch her own hair, acting is if was some sort of shield towards her 'hoboish' appearance. "Jennifer!" Shelby said rather abruptly, almost creepily excited, "Yes, yes, I'm looking for a match, a match, a match, a match. Michelle wants to fight, and I was just about to accept the little challenge, but then an old flame popped up." Acting is if she wasn't chasing after Jen earlier, a smile creeps onto her a face as she puts her arm around Jennifer Drew, gazing her free hand out, as if painting a picture. "Michelle Wilson, Jennifer Drew, and Shelby Steele, triple threat tonight, live in front of these Bobcats fans." The crowd watching this promo cheer in response, "It'll be great, and a fine meal to the person I'm trying to impress tonight."

[Jennifer Drew]

She just gives her a strange look. That is until her face curled up in horror and disgust once she started sniffing the air now that the two were dangerously close.

OK, I'm going to take that as a big no on the “Is everything cool.” Fine meal? No way. My contract specifically says I can't be killed and eaten and/or sacrificed to anyone in the ring. But if you want to do a regular match then that's cool. I'd be up for stepping in the ring with you two one more time. That should do it for whoever you're trying to impress right?

More cheers get piped in, but Jennifer doesn't even seem to notice. She just looks over at Mikki and mouths “What's wrong with her?”

[vault]

Giving Jennifer a clear 'I don't know' look.

" Whoa...I'm not gonna be some kinda 'meal' for Lessein. I knew she was crazy...but a cannibal? That I didn't know... If you wanna impress her you are gonna have to work hard to beat either of us. I may not have done a lot around here but that doesn't mean I'm a push over. "

[Shelby Danes]

Shelby looks down, "People just can't take a metaphor, can they?" Shaking her head, "No one ever stated you were a push-over Michelle, but go ahead and believe that if you wish. I honestly don't see a problem with it." Cockily giving a smile to herself, her teeth rather grimy looking, she looks at Jennifer Drew, "Any match I have with you turns out to be some kind of spectacle, and I'm sure Lessien will be proud of my performance, I just have to think positive~"
