Background music: Tank! - The seatbelts

Boston, Massachusetts.

Pan waited, blue hair tied up and form clad in a shirt and skirt bouncing her head to drumbeats in her ears as the coffee shop about her roused to life people passing left and right as she smiled brightly. Spying her prey as she entered the coffee shop.

Dawn Halliwell was rocking a Misfits T-shirt and jeans that wore the ravages of at the very least fashion and shit-kickers of a pair of doc martens that matched Pans own , she looked nervous.

Something in Pan smiled as wide as she was even as she stood arms wide open and smiled brightly.

“There you are!”

Dawn looked like she wanted to escape, but Pan stopped short even as she took out a pair or ear phones and the silence grew as Pan offered her hand out for a hand shake.

“Dawn Halliwell!”

A long pause and Dawn et the hand shake of her own with a small exasperated sounded.

“Fuck.”

Pan pulled a chair up and gestured to sit down even as she took the seat opposite and said with a light smile.

“Dawn, I ain’t gonna bite”

A pause and Pan winced rubbing the back of her neck.

“Wrong phrase to use.”

Dawn could really say anything else just quietly sat down watching Pan like she was a tiger and Pan wrinkled her nose as she tried to size The other woman up, feeling the waves of nerves from her even as Pan said again gently.

“Dawn please, relax I just wanna talk, hang out you know be Pan give you the sense of me.”

Dawn finally let loose some words as she wring her hands.

“Do you just wanna fuckin’ talk? I mean no fuckin’ games? No shit? No Secret plans?”

Pan chuckles.

“I’m not a Disney Villain, Dawn. I know! I figure we do an ice breaker. I mean you’re nervous, I get it I’m like all step-mom but seriously I’m still the same Pandora you saw backstage.”

Another pause.

“Doesn’t make you any less fucking intimidating.”

Pan smirks a bit and spoke gently.

“Ok so from what I figure we have three things in common. Wrestling, Music and Spike Kane, I ‘m Nothin’ special Dawn I’m just a girl who happens to be in a relationship with your father, you’re lucky I didn’t drag Astrid along as well..”

Pan’s tone was amused as she lilted her tones with a slight grin eyes on Dawn who seemed o wince a little more before Pan moved forwards and took Dawn’s and which captured the other woman’s attentions as their eyes met and she spoke with soft tone.

“Dawn, you don’t have to be afraid of me, you don’t have to impress me if you want my respect? Be you. Be the Loud mouthin‘ curse giving, no fucks wearing living dead girl you fucking well are. Because the last thing you should be right now is afraid.”

Dawn looks a little shocked that Pan of all people has dropped swears even as Pan gives a secretive smile and squeezes her hand.

"Now you going to sit there slack jawed or are we going to have fucking lunch?"

Background Music: Woodkid – The Golden Age : www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWMMdX6KYGM

Brooklyn works her way back up to her feet, Shea tries to stand but Brooklyn hits another hard kick to the left leg of Shea and then pulls her up one more time for the BAMF!!! Shea is down and Brooklyn just collapses over her. The referee drops down for the ONE! TWO! THREE!!!!!

We fade in on neon lights and rainbow lips, blue hair lit up as a drum beat thrashes to a familiar beat before we are called to a familiar sound.

“We all recognise that I’m the problem here”

Cut to pan’s neon lit face and her simple, full of joy smile.

“Except I’m not am I? if I were the real problem I’d be the one watching this Gauntlet where women from all over the diamonds division will meet in Mexico and face off for a chance at Brooklyn Madrox, current Diamonds champion and cub champion of the pack. Seriously Maxine must be so proud.”

Pandora sighs even as the lighting starts to rise about her and she smiles more dressed in her usual devil may care fashion blue hair sat in pigtails and she raises her eyes to the sky as she seems to hold her hands as if praying before looking back down to the camera.

“I find myself in a match with women I’ve faced before in every respect except Maxine Valentine. She’s the only one I haven’t really faced outside of a multi-person match. The thing with these matches is you start with two and we keep going until one woman stands so this is a series of single woman matches, this is a test of skill, determination grit and endurance.”

She smiles a bit brighter.

“Sounds like my kinda party."

Serious face Pan now.

"Ever since I lost the Diamonds belt I’ve been climbing a longer, slower road back to that area finding obstacles in my path time and again, Battle Royales, singles matches to prove myself against all and sundry supporting Spike in every breath and Astrid whilst she challenged Rayne and –finally- got her hands on that belt. ”

She smirks.

“But here we are, uncertainty in our future! We don’t even know who’s going to be first out. We don’t know who will be the first two to step on the dance floor for all to see, so Let’s look at my opponents.”

A quick screen shot of Maxine Valentine performing the Arms of the Abyss , The Riastad and the Sacrifice on various opponents.

“Maxine Valentine, the self-proclaimed Shadow in the warp, a lady who took what was being offered and has become a hard-line disciple to the McDonnaugh Name, Last any one saw of her before that she was being wheeled into an ambulance on a stretcher and Dean was… making friends.”

A slight smirk

“The woman held the Sheildmaiden Belt for a while losing it to Rayne before Astrid could claim her shot, yet seems to really want a piece of Astrid, And I don’t know why? Is it the old adage of taking somebody our own size on?”

She shook her head and she poses.

“You’ll find in me a willing dance partner Mad Maxine, if we should meet on that floor I’ve made it part of my life’s mission to slow you guys down, do what’s right no matter the consequences and if that involves dropping the beat on you until you stop movin? That’s what I’ll do!”

She chuckles and we cut to Alexis Caffrey images hitting the Entanglement and the Kiss Goodnight.

“Alexis Caffrey, legend seeking to once again make the climb, hero to some villain to other but nobody can doubt that you do still have it, thing is you’ve wavered and faltered, maybe I’m not the best gal to be pointing fingers I mean Most people will point at me and as ‘what have you done lately? Thing is I’m still riding the Iron Maiden name, I’m still a problem.”

She chuckles.

“There’s a lot of ladies who could potentially meet up in this all vying to become Diamonds champion some for the first time others for the next time, and I’m not looking to slack on anyone much like our next Contender.”

Gabriela Luna’s highlights flash by the Sudden impact hit the Phoenix splash. We cut back again to Pandora rocking out an unheard tune even as she smiles and spoke.

“The homeland heroine, the pride of Mexico, the lady who can match Dawn Halliwell for well timed curses in Spanish, and now I’m going to forever regret saying that because I know you two will make a point of trying to outdo each other.”

She nods.

“You Ride the razor’s edge chica, You fly, you fight with passion, heart, people love you for it, hell I love you for it but if me and you step to facing I t doesn’t matter if I’d have to fight tooth and claw with Valentine or anyone else I will match you and I –will- give as good as I get Sister, I’m not about to let anyone stand in my way of this anymore if it means playing spoiler to you?”

She shrugs.

“Sorry. It’s just business.”

A long asmall sigh and the beat of a du mas the light turn blue and we see flashes of Astrid Hall hitting the Spear the Mjolnir inert cut with Pandora’s face she goes form neon clad to woad and back again the war paint of old evolving as she spoke with a sly smile.

“Astrid, honey, we have got to stop meeting like this.”

A slight chuckle.

“Of all the people in this match up, I need to say the least to you, you know where we stand, where I stand you know I will leave it all there in the ring and you also know that I won’t stop.”

She smiles a bit.

“You know I can’t stop I feel I have something to make up for and facing Brooklyn is what I think will fix that."

She nods solmenly

"That means I will fight and I will keep fighting even if I’m first, even I’m least It doesn’t matter hell I hope I’m first in because I want to stand there in front of the Mexico Faithful , stand there and remind them, remind all of you that the light house still burns bright that after all the dark, the sun will rise again.”

She closes her eyes and spreads her arms her form once more lit up by the neon lights and she grins slightly.

“All Bloody Hail right?”

She shook her head.

“What’s mine is mine, Let the Red Sun rise, for a brighter dawn. And All will be Well”

She nods.

“All Will Be Well”

Fade out.
