Not Done Yet (O2TagTeams)

[dp]

The Streets by Bone Thugs 'n' Harmony, The Game, and Will.I.Am begins to play on the PA system. The attention of the fans switching over to the stage as that familiar music played. A bit of a mixed reaction of cheers and boos. Some of the people liked them for who The Black Out was and stood for. Others didn't like losers. It was time to put away all the doubters and show everyone that they're really as good as they claim they were. DeShaun and Anthony came walking through the backstage curtain and out onto the stage. They slowly made their way down the ramp and climbed into the ring. Once in the ring, the two men would request a microphone from one of those around the ring. After recieving two microphones, the two men found their way to the middle of the ring and their music faded out. They looked at each other for a brief moment in confidence and nodded their heads. The attention of The Black Out switched out to the crowds as they began to speak...

DJ: "Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know, I know. We haven't been doing too hot since we've arrived in this company. Two strikes on our L board. I know, I know. It's unfortunate. We did lose in a very close match with Blazing Vixens. Then we happened to have fall victims with the Tag Team Champions of GCW. Another unfortunate loss in a triple threat tag team tornado hardcore match."

Ant: *sigh...* "Yes. It's not been a good ride these past two weeks. But we're not going to give up. Not at all. Actually, we're here here for the complete opposite of that. We're here to keep pushing on. Continue forward and prove that The Black Out isn't just all talk."

DeShaun nodded his head.

DJ: "Exactly. We're not going to run away or just up and leave because we've not been on a roll or doing as well as we'd like to be doing. We're going to stand tall and stay put."

Ant: "That is what brings us here tonight. We're going to toss out a challenge of our. Yeah. We're going to send out a challenge to any and all teams that are currently together here in GCW."

DJ: "Yup. It's an open challenge to any GCW tag team in the backstage area looking for a challenge. So who's it going to be people? Who's it going to be?"

The two men lowered their microphone with their sights set on the stage. Awaiting a response from someone or a couple of someones to be more exact. Who's going to be their next opponent?

[Cosette Grace]

Cosette by her lonesome steps out onto the stage in her purple plaid pants and Addison T-shirt. She smiles and waves getting a mixed reaction of her own. No one really knew what to make of her sudden transformation. She makes it to the ring with a microphone and looks at the two members of Black Out.

Hi!

It's so lovely to see you two again and in a professional setting like this it's even better. I don't know if you saw what happened a few weeks ago on MayheM but well the Greys aren't exactly off to an auspicious start as a team. So the tag team champions can sleep soundly knowing the family won't be making any demands of them tonight.


I understand that mother thinks she knows best but I think she understands the finer points of style like keeping the freshest person in, so I think we're ready to show we're not just coordinated on a deep spiritual level, but in the ring as well. So I think it's safe to say we accept your challenge.

[Addison Grey]

"GET AWAY FROM THEM COSETTE!" Addison screams out as she runs out from behind the entrance curtains, and places herself in front of Cosette, sticking her arms out as if she was blocking a group of people from...a lengthy walk away. She then turns herself around to face her daughter while still trying to keep an eye on the pair inside the ring, constantly glancing behind her. "Are you sure about this honey? I mean...they look rather dangerous." Addison takes another glance, "And without your father around, I'm not sure if this is such a great idea. Look at their faces...they scream of...they scream of...I can't think of the word at the moment, but they scream of it!" Clamping her hands together, she gives Cosette a pleading stare, "I can only do so much as your mother, and if you really want to face blood-raving pandas,-and you know what happens when they find out they're on the endangered species list- that's alright by me, but if you get injured...I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I just...I just might have to do something drastic if you were to get hurt Cosette."

[Cosette Grace]

Cosette was developing a nice snotty sigh and she gave a great example here.

Do you hear yourself? You don't know anything about them. If they've chosen to dress differently to express themselves and to associate a haunting visual image to their radical grassroots movement you shouldn't make fun of them and call them “pandas”

...even if I can sort of see it...

She gives the two men a sheepish grin.

But that's beside the point. You don't have to worry about me. This is exactly what we need. We have to show that we can stand up and fight against strong teams like this no matter how dangerous and/or adorable we may decide they are. Well how about it? Rah, rah Team Grey?

[Addison Grey]

"Rah, rah, Team Grey?" Addison looks away for a second giggling, "I was wondering why you refused to tag me out in our last match together, and that...makes so proud Cosette!" She jumps out of glee, as she grabs Cosette's hands, giving her a proud smile, "My daughter, trying out for her high school's cheer leading squad, just like her mother!" Closing her eyes, she places her hands on her hips, and gives Cosette an assuring nod, "To know that my daughter is following in her mother's footsteps, it just makes me so proud honey. Let me teach you something, hold up, hold up." Walking over to Cosette's side, and standing straight up with a smile on her face, she places her arms straight along her side. "Now follow my lead 'Sette. This is what got your mother on the on the c-squad."

Addison closes her eyes, relaxing herself while still smiling, when quite suddenly...she is interrupted.

DeShaun and Anthony look at each other. Both utterly confused at the display that they are currently seeing. This must've been that mother Cosette was talking about. Best not blow it for her. They could easily go on to crumble this team verbally with the knowledge they have outside the ring. But that wouldn't be right, as Cosette hasn't really done them any wrong. And the mother... Well... They understood her situation. Guess they'll have to go easy on them as far as responses go. Looking back at the two women, the mother doing some king of cheerleading thing. But this was no time for that. So... DeShaun chimes in...

DJ: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.... Whoa. This is neither the time nor is it the place for any kind of cheerleading thing. Save that for the local school's sports field."

Ant: "Yeah. Save that for... another time. Let's get back to reality here. Get back to the wrestling world."

DJ: "Now... We're more than happy to accept you as our challengers. But let's make one thing clear here. The panda jokes? Really getting kind of old now. Really is. It was hilarious at first but uhhh... recycled jokes only get you so far. Try coming up with some new material. Go ahead and bust out the mime jokes or something. Bust out the lame bank robber jokes. Something more humorous than the ol' panda routine."

Ant: "Kind of get bland and boring, ya know? And besides that, shouldn't be so judgemental of those you have no knowledge about. You shouldn't be judging us merely on appearance. You don't know us. You don't know anything about us. Yet, because of the way we dress and look, you automatically assume that we're bad people. We're the bad guys. It's really kind of sad."

[Addison Grey]

Not pleased, Addison gives Black Out a cold stare, the aura around basically a deep gray, very anime style. "...you.Killed. The. Moment." Running her hand roughly through her hair, she adjusts her headband and marches her way down the entrance ramp, throughly ticked off. She wasn't going to put up with this now, they killed the mother-daughter moment between Cosette and herself! HOW DARE THEY.

Now at the entrance steps, she takes a huff, and marches up them as well, keeping her demeanor as she faces the two, looking rather fearless. "Not. Bad. People. My. Behind." Cocking her hand back, she looks like she's about to slap them silly until...

[dp]

Anthony and DeShaun begins to back up as Addison approached them. Lifting their microphone's up to speak as they did so.

DJ: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Is that how you operate? Go upside someone's head if they don't follow your orders? They don't follow your rules and interrupt anything you're trying to do, you go ahead and swing on them? How much sense does that make?"

Ant: "Yeah. Come on now. Save it for in the ring. Sheesh. Don't need to bring the wrath of Hell down upon us just because you didn't get to relive your childhood memories of being a cheerleader."

DJ: "Need to work out that anger issue. It might cost you something in the end. Ya know?"

Ant: "Yeah. For real."

[Cosette Grace]

She couldn't even watch.

Oh my God this is sooooo embarrassing.

Once she was sure there was a break in the action she turned back to Addison.

What is the matter with you? Can't we come out and act like professionals for once? I'm sure a single slap from you would be utterly demoralizing, but still.

And if we're going to cheer we have to wow everyone, come out polished, right? So let's avoid all the slapping, go backstage and run through the drill, have a nice proper match and then when we win we can avoid all that dreadfully boring arm-raising nonsense and do something that will dazzle everyone to celebrate that we're on track. You know, team spirit and all that. Plus, I doubt these two will be in any mood to spoil our fun then.

[Addison Grey]

Addison gave a snare at Cosette, and turned her back towards her, waving her hand off rather snotty. "You do have a point, but they still killed the moment. This entire revelation that you were turning into someone just like me...stomped on, repeatedly, by those, those...those imbeciles." She turns herself back around, and begins to point her finger at the two she's facing against, "You will pay dearly for this. What you did was rude, idiotic, and I'm surprised your mothers could have raised such radical children. Couldn't you see I was having a moment with my daughter? But nooo, no, you had to come, and be like, 'oh, this isn't some place for some cheer-fest,' NYAH." Addison, surprising then does a back flip, landing back where she was previously, "Whoo, still got it, but nevertheless, if I ever catch you two, pulling off something like this again, I just might have to call certain someones to give you those nice scoldings both of you whole heartedly deserve." Flicking her hair while turning her back towards the pair, she begins walk towards the ring ropes, to allow herself to get out of this poor environment, "Cosette dear, please come. We have some planning to do in order to insure our success."

[Cosette Grace]

Cosette just smiled and shrugged behind Addison's back as she looked back into the ring. Her insistence that she was laughing along with them was seriously starting to lose any credibility. She follows a few steps behind Addison on the way out looking eager to get this routine down.
