*sigh*

That was about all I could come up with. After all the shouting, wrestling, showring, changing and finding Deirdre and a relatively quiet place to sit backstage. Stern-faced disappointment was never really my thing.

But really, I honestly couldn't have described anything she's done as flat-out stupid until today. Unwise, not my thing, maybe even icky once or twice but never moronic. Of course, Lessien's involved, and knowing what she's capable of that makes me Benefit-of-the-Doubt Girl.

So...

[Deirdre Hahn]

So...

Facing Jennifer like this was worse than your mom, the principal and a 12 person jury combined. I had my suspicions, but it made perfect sense to show up at the time.

You're probably...uh...wondering what I'm doing here, right?

Well, Sarah bet me that I couldn't get to more than 5 pay per views for free by being tricked by your enemies. I think I'm on course as long as you hang on to that title.

No way Jenny could cut through a story as plausible as that. Better roll the dice on a change of subject just to be safe.

Congrats, by the way.

[Jennifer Drew]

Look, it's OK. I'm not mad. At all. I just think we should sit down and come up with some sort of flowchart so that you know when and when not to accept free ringside seats. You know, safe bets like if the call comes from me, and there's no cryptic last words and evil laughter when whoever it is hangs up.

This is exactly how I imagine Ashley and Lessien talking on the phone.

Now, come on. I'd much rather hear you tell me why you came.

[Lessien Melwasul]

"Now all of the sudden you care?"

~Betty inquired, entering the ever so touching backstage scene. Things had not been going exactly as planned. Such were the ways of Planet fucking Life ... population: one.~

"Caring is such an easy thing"

"to fake."

~The form of Lessien had seen better days. Her physical shell had been more than abused by Jennifer Drew. But her soul remained intact. She looked at Deirdre. Her Cheshire smile warm and possibly even sincere.~

"Didn't I tell you? All this little paper girl cares about is her so called career. Her legacy. How she will be remembered in this wasteland they dare call a city. But once she thinks that is secure, she has enough time for you. Until it is time to send you away again, of course."

~Betty turned her head towards Drew. Alice's eyes showed generous amounts of loathing and hate.~

"Your heart is flat like the world of old."

~Betty smirked and dropped her gear bag.~

"In other words, it makes me sick how you treat the wonderful people in your life."

~She looked at Drew's companion again. More plans weaving themselves into strands of action. Planting seeds in young

fertile

minds. She looked back to Drew with even a bigger smile than before. and just for her.~

[Deirdre Hahn]

Scary. I know I screwed up but now I can't even tell how bad.

It's fine, really.

I know she cares. She practically broke her neck trying to see if I was being carried off by goons or minions or what not. That says it all to me. Aren't we forgetting I'm the one who thought all this was a good idea for some reason and came close to making her night much harder?

Better just come with it to Jenny.

I just thought it would be cool to be there, when in your head you really did it.

[Lessien Melwasul]

~Betty's face twisted. Alice pitied the fool.~

"Oh, she's a real keeper Drew. Pliable, dense and believes

every

last

word you say? Too bad it will just lead to heartbreak."

~Alice looked to Deirdre.~

"We dance the song of heartbreak and hope all the while,wondering if somewhere,somehow there is someone searching for us”

~Betty looked back to Drew.~

"Oh yes, now that you've done it Lover. Whatever will you d-"

~They all paused together.~

"Wait a second?"

"Only seconds to destroy..."

"Just what is it you think you've done again?"

~This was a little more dangerous area than young love and heart.~

[Jennifer Drew]

Ohhhh, I get it now!

I locked in a nice friendly, reassuring gaze.

Look at you, acting like you don't know, so you get me to admit you're special. Well you are with your undefeated in one on one Debutante Title matches until now. I told Dee Dee I knew this time the only way I was going to shut up that little voice in my head that constantly calls me a fraud was to beat you, and uh, breaking news she passed away peacefully watching the pay per view. Happy?

As for, what happens now?

Dramatic shrug.

Well, the legacy thing you were talking about? Done. I'm just going to enjoy the ride wait and see who puts me down, if anyone can. Got a problem with that?

[Lessien Melwasul]

^-permission-

~Betty catches a movement out of the corner of her eye. A camera with a man attached to it, focusing on the scene. Alice closed her eyes behind the dark lenses and took a dark breath.~

"Lights. Camera."

~They were all to spent to react quickly enough as Lessien's elbow caught Deidre across the temple in a text book definition of a sucker punch. Her world went black immediately as she slumped gracelessly to the floor.~

~An old fashioned lariat took a rising and concerned Drew out of her ever so fucking famous boots. Alice's fingers pressed into the soft flesh of the downed woman's neck.~

"Listen to me."

~Alice hissed privately until Betty turned it up 27 notches.~

"Do I have your fucking attention Lover!?"

~Betty dug her knee into Drew's stomach just to make sure.~

"Because that is all you've done today. You have got my attention completely!"

"I never go away."

"I beat you. You beat me. The end!? Are you fucking insane!?"

~Alice laughed, which was never a pleasant thing.~

"No, Jennifer. I beat you. You beat me. I knock the people you love the fuck out and I make your life unbearable until I beat you again. Then you beat me, and it starts all over again!"

~Alice pressed a little harder.~

"Thank me."

"You should bow down and sing my fucking praise, child! I'm Lessien Melwasul and I've been places you can't even find in this coloring book you call a life! Don't you get it!?!? You're nothing without me!!!!"

~Anger!~

"Life is filled with it."

~The form of Lessien stood up over the choked out mess that was the Top Debutante only to turn and bury a boot tip into Deirdre's side, just for disappointment... for disappointing her.~

"My own fault really..."

~She said to herself with a sigh and an instant mood swing to cool and calm.~

"Relying on others to break you down instead of myself..."

~Somebody coughed painfully, Betty didn't care who as her eyes glanced off the camera. She picked up her gear bag and swung it over her back. Her hard life coat kissing the concrete as she passed the life filled bodies. Her form passed the camera and her boots echoed down the emptying backstage. The End? Those two words combined had no meaning here.~
