Post by Jennie Docherty / Djinnie! on Mar 29, 2024 15:05:45 GMT
Before the gates opened, the line had already formed all the way to the parking lot… People filled every gap they could find while en route to the front gates of the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. At the front of the line is where our particular focus is, though, and standing at the front of the line is none other than the IWF Women’s World Champion, Jennifer Aurora Docherty, better known to the audience as JENNIE FENIX. Despite the fact that she was nowhere near the venue, or attending any sort of event or convention, she still proudly wears the championship around her waist which glimmers from the morning sun hitting the golden plate. Surrounding her is the rest of the family, which of course includes Tara, Sabin, Eddie, Damien, Lilith and Mikaela Jade being pushed in a double stroller… Jennie’s fiancé, Allen Chaney, is even present! He’s wearing a fanny pack, and looks quite proud of it. There can be more. Angel could be lingering. Dean could be lingering. The list goes on and on, it’s a huge family with many ties to many people, and so I’m going to let you, the reader, use your imagination as to who is all here.
Jennie turns her head ever so slightly over her shoulder with Tara standing right behind her, “Remember that time we–”
“Yes!” Tara interjects, “Please, we don’t have to relive those memories.”
The children all look confused as they weren’t allowed to watch Blood Money II that pit the two sisters in a battle royale that took place at this very park. Jennie is all smiles as she awaits the announcement that the park is going to open. Without further ado, the trumpets blare! It sounds like something you’d only see on television or in a movie, because it’s something that you could easily overlook from all of the murmurs behind you…
The gates are opening!
The chime from the wristbands are heard one by one, and people are directed to and fro… The person assisting the household immediately takes a second glance at Jennie before raising their own voice in excitement, “Oh, my God! Jennie! I can’t believe it’s you!”
“Charmed, I’m sure!” Jennie answers.
The young chap looks pleasantly surprised, “And you brought all these princes and princesses with you!” he says in an authentic cheerful tone.
“Sure did!” Jennie answers again.
One by one, each of the family members make it through the entrance – Tara pushes the double stroller that has Lilith and Mikaela in it, as well as all the supplies parents would need for their children throughout the day.
Undoubtedly, the children are all excited as they scamper forward toward the entrance. Both Lilith and Mikaela Jade are leaning forward in their seats and squealing excitedly as Tara continues strolling them forward… Jennie rushes forward along with the kids, acting as sort of a big kid in her own right, and getting just as excited. It was never easy for the family to blend in, though; everybody recognized Tara as the twenty-three-year veteran in the industry. The entire family was known in the industry at this point, and it didn’t take too long for Jennie to earn a reputation for herself.
Many of the guests heading into the park instantly recognized her, and would flock over as if she were one of the many characters in the park…they would ask for pictures, and she was more than happy to oblige. It only made the anticipation of entering the park and seeing the fountain for the first glimpse all the better. The anticipation of laying eyes on Cinderella’s Castle was only getting stronger.
Soon, though, they finally did find themselves past the gates and they saw the fountains! Magic was in their eyes.
“Okay! Okay! Okay!” Jennie says, clapping her hands together, “We didn’t discuss the battle plan! Start over at Pirates, and then Jungle Cruise?!” she says while pacing back and forth and looking for where to start but then something catches her eye. “MICKEY AND MINNIE ARE HERE! Tara, Tara, Tara, Tara, Tara–” she speaks rapidly, “WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM!”
“Okay, okay. Calm down,” Tara says in a much calmer tone than Jennie, “We’ll take them, but–” Tara barely finishes her sentence when Jennie, Eddie, and Damien all dash toward the line, “Dole… whip…” Tara mutters.
Allen taps the Disney band on his wrist, glancing around, “I’m starting with a pretzel.”
For the moment, everyone seems to go their own way. Jennie and Tara with the children all for the meet and greet of Mickey and Minnie, Allen in search of a pretzel, and who knows what Sabin is going off to do? Perhaps join Allen in the quest for a pretzel? Dole Whip? Meet Chip and Dale? The list goes on.
Since it is the opening hours of the park, the line wasn’t too long, but long enough that Allen Chaney is able to rejoin them in the line. Jennie squeals again, and excitedly moves toward the next line where Allen is seen holding a spot in line, while dipping his pretzel into the warm cheese cup. Jennie springs forward and steals a piece of the pretzel, causing Allen to appear shocked as he glances at his cheese, his fiancée, his cheese, his fiancée, his cheese, his fiancée, and then finally shrugs. Jennie excitedly steps forward to Mickey and Minnie, as both mice make a number of friendly and welcoming hand gestures… Mickey and Minnie both point at the championship around her waist. Jennie cups her hands over her mouth, trying to hold back a loud squeal… slash… screech… but it’s not being held back so well.
“OH! This?! It’s the– the– the IWF Women’s World Championship! That’s ME!” Jennie says while pointing a thumb at herself, “I’m the IWF Women’s World Champion.”
Minnie looks just as excited as Jennie, and keeps making hand gestures back and forth between both of them. Jennie seems to pick up on what they’re saying off the bat, “Oh, you want to wear it for the picture?! SURE!” Jennie pulls the belt from her waist, and Minnie takes it – she hoists it high over her head, as Mickey, Jennie, and Minnie gather in for a photo. Jennie continues posing for a couple more photos with the iconic duo.
All the while, Jennie rants on, “I’ve been trying to keep an eye on the six women who made it into the Iron Maiden, and I have to say – it’s not gonna be an easy fight at Night of the Immortals no matter who gets that win! Now, of course, the first thing on the agenda is to ensure that I am walking in as the champion… y’know, if I happen to– what am I saying, it’s all ‘bout confidence, am I right?! WHEN I walk out of High Stakes with my title! It’ll be my second year, by the way. Did you know that?” They both nod, “Back to back! I feel like Patrick Maholmes…” The camera moves to the side to see Allen Chaney standing at the end of the line giving two thumbs up to Jennie for the Kansas City Chiefs reference, and BACK TO JENNIE, MICKEY, AND MINNIE, “Except I need to win! ANYWAYS! NONE OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE AN EASY FIGHT! And y’know something more about that fact? I LOVE IT!” Jennie shouts.
“I LOVE the idea of getting in the ring with Mai. She’s someone who I haven’t been able to do too much with, but she could be a tough one to figure out… But I’d figure her out! I love the idea of getting in the ring with Natasha, ‘cause she’s been turning quite a few heads since coming in…and I don’t want her to think that I haven’t noticed… I mean, if she just stays focused and keeps going, she could very well be the one to face me! And Charlotte– that’s a huge match right there! She’s such a hard worker, and I think it’s a shame that it hasn’t fully reflected in the sense that I know she’s capable of, y’know what I’m saying? She’s just got something about her… it’s no mistake that she’s in the position she’s in, and earned it, and just another one that I gotta figure it out! Y’know– I can see some similarities in our styles…” Jennie says while tapping her finger against her chin a couple of times.
Minnie places the title over her own shoulder and nods while listening intently to Jennie.
“You want to fight me for the title, Minnie?” Jennie asks while giving her a side glance.
Minnie immediately shakes her head and is waving her hands to deny the challenge.
“The title does look good on you, though! But y’know, I ain’t gonna give it up without a fight… ANYWAYS! There’s Abigail who’s a former champion, and another Hall of Famer, so she’s definitely going to be no pushover. And then you come to Serenity Holmes! That girl’s a little firecracker, and when she’s on point, WHEW! Is she on point?! She’s gotta get herself a bigger shirt, though.” Jennie clicks her tongue. She looks up a little bit to contemplate, “Perhaps a nice turtleneck sweater.”
Mickey and Minnie both nod.
“But, y’know, the one that really excites me the most is APRIL! APRIL! MADROX! The baby sister of my arch nemesis, Brookie, and I just can’t help but see even more similarities in our own way when thinking about it ‘cause – she has an overshadowing and overbearing older sister…” Jennie presses her hand to her chest, “I have an overshadowing and overbearing older sister!”
The camera takes a quick glance at Tara Fenix, and she doesn’t look as amused or pleased by Jennie’s statement, but she’s also pretty used to it, so she ultimately shrugs it off. Back to Jennie!
“You couldn’t write up a better script! So– y’know, I’m going to go ahead and make the bet… the hope… I would really love to see April Madrox win this Sunday so that we can have THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE SISTERS!”
“JENNIE, YOU’RE HOLDING UP THE LINE!” Tara shouts…she does her best not to sound so aggressive but the people all behind them were becoming more and more frustrated the longer Jennie took.
“Oh! So sorry!” Jennie says, and gives a quick hug to both Mickey and Minnie, before taking her title…
The rest of the meet and greet there goes off without a hitch. The sisters walk with a pep in their step out of the first meet and greet, but something immediately catches Jennie’s eye - MEET AND GREET FOR TINKER BELL! Sabin is standing in the line with a churro, and Jennie springs forward to jump in the line with her nephew, as she takes a piece of the churro and nods to him. Sabin has a look more like "what the fuck" but he lets it go. After all, it is his aunt.
“You coming?!” Jennie shouts back to Tara.
“I came here for a Dole Whip!” Tara says.
“And you’ll get it!” Jennie insists, “Just– COME ON!”
Tara grumbles under her breath but joins the duo in line with the rest of the kids piling in as well. The scenery fades momentarily, re-fading back inside of the meet and greet section with Tinker Bell.
“All I’ve ever wanted to be, Tink,” Jennie says whilst sitting atop a flower inside of the magical realm of Tinker Bell. Tinker Bell sits criss-cross across from Jennie, hunched forward, and listening intently, while Jennie continues, “Was a fighting champion. I wanted to put my championship on the line against anyone, and everyone! Anywhere, and everywhere! I wanted to be in the ring with the greatest that this industry had ever known, and I wanted them to – one day – recognize me as one of the greatest! I know, I know, I knooow that– it’s not an easy path… It means that I could get in over my head. And it seemed like that’s exactly what happened when I got into the ring for a second time against Brookie!”
Jennie sits back in the oversized flower as if it were a recliner chair, and clutches the championship around her waist, “But that’s what I wanted. And when I finally won the championship back for a second time, I was wondering, from day one, who would be the first person to challenge for my championship! I’m not gonna lie, I’ve tried goading Shea into cashing in her whole queen’s gambit, and getting it over with… But she hasn’t taken the bait. I just– you know, Tink, I just didn’t want to have a second run where I felt like I didn’t accomplish what I wanted. Y’know?”
She purses her lips together and nods a little bit as if to convince herself, as well as convince Tinker Bell.
“But is it my fault?! I mean, really, let’s look at what happened during my first run… There weren’t that many people willing to step up for a fight… I tried, Tink, I really tried! I had to call everybody out, but none of them wanted to get in the ring with me, and so– I saw an opportunity with Brookie, y’know? I saw an opportunity to fight a Hall of Famer. I saw an opportunity to fight who is, arguably, the greatest IWF Women’s World Champion in the history of the company! I know, I know, I know that people are still going on and on about Shelly Diamond, ‘cause I’m guilty of it myself–” she says while pressing her hand to her chest, and licks her lips quickly, “–but I thought about it, and if I had to pick one person who stands as the greatest champion in the history of the company… I would give Brooklyn that honor. Now, ROUND TWO! And who am I up against? ANOTHER HALL OF FAMER!” Jennie exclaims.
She takes a momentary pause, letting her excitement kind of die down just a little bit. With her lips pursed back together, Jennie finally asks the question, “Do you think I can do this twice?”
“What do you think?” Tinker Bell asks, and she gives a genuine smile, “Just remember what I say, though: all you need is a little bit of faith, trust, and pixie dust!” Tinker Bell says as she springs to her feet, holding her hand over Jennie, but Jennie raises her hand to get her to stop momentarily.
“And challengers!” Jennie blurts out.
“And challengers!” Tinker Bell agrees, and sprinkles some glitter over an absolutely giddy Jennie.
The imagery transitions from the magical realm of fairies into the outdoor area. Over by the Magic Carpet ride near the meet and greet for Aladdin and Jasmine, Jennie has a strap attached to her niece, Lilith – say what you will about kids on leashes, but it’s very convenient when you’re going to Disney World, and you’re able to have two hands free while keeping a toddler from getting lost and kidnapped! VERY! CONVENIENT! Meanwhile, Eddie and Damien are able to roam a little more freely but never out of sight of Jennie, as she stands in the line for the famous DOLE WHIP!
“NEXT!” the concession stand attendee calls out, and Jennie takes a step forward, but has to stop on her heel as a ginger man tries to squeeze through really quick with a Dole Whip in his hands.
Jennie’s eyes widen momentarily as she takes a second glance at the man, “CLIFF?!”
The ginger man known to the audience as none other than the assistant to the mystery co-general manager, Cliff, stops and takes his own second glance at Jennie standing at the front of the line, “Jennie! I thought you’d all be down in Fort Lauderdale!” Cliff says, as he walks in close and gives a quick hug to Jennie; Jennie hugs back.
The overlapping voice in the background, “NEXT!” shouts out to urge Jennie forward, but Jennie holds up a finger to ask for a moment.
“We decided to turn it into a Disney trip! And– well, what Disney trip is complete without a DOLE WHIP, AM I RIGHT?!” Jennie says.
“It’s way better than a boba! And I do love me a boba.” Cliff says with a nod, “Anyways! I’m actually here on a date…” Cliff smiles and glances over, waving, as the camera pans over for a quick glimpse. All we see is a huge wave of people.
Jennie waves in the general direction, but is unsure of who she’s waving to, “I– I don’t– I don’t see… Who am I waving to?”
“Yeah…” Cliff says with a contempt sigh, and a mild smile on his face, “But– y’know, if there’s anything I can get for you, don’t hesitate to shoot me a text!”
“NEXT!” the concession shouts again, more aggravated this time as the growing line behind Jennie is getting equally aggravated, and Jennie waves as if to apologize to all of them before stepping forward.
“I’m going to need – TWELVE DOLE WHIPS!” Jennie says.
The crowd behind her groans as they know it could take a while to fulfill the order. Imagery transitions to the next scene.
At the next meet and greet, Jennie sits on the magic carpet with both Aladdin and Jasmine standing on both sides of her… All the while, Jennie rambles on to them about her upcoming opponent at High Stakes, Jessica Reed, “I’m excited for it, let me tell you! I really am! Y’know, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed during my first run as champion ‘cause I didn’t do it to the standard that I wanted to set – but it’s like, is that something that should upset me? Shelly Diamond AND Brooklyn Madrox, who are BOTH Hall of Famers, and now… JESSICA REED! Who is another Hall of Famer!” Jennie sounds more and more ecstatic, and more and more excited at the thought of the competition that she’s going to be stepping up against. From her first run as the champion, to her second run, each person that she has defended against have been big names in the company. Three Hall of Famers.
“There’re a lot of names that could have easily come up when I thought about who I’d be getting into the ring with, and I’m not gonna lie – Jessica Reed was not one of the names that I thought would come up. She was the first Hall of Famer! She was the first IWF Women’s World Champion! She was the one who started it all for everybody in this company! It’s like– surreal, y’know? It’s a big deal!”
Jasmine and Aladdin both nod a little bit, and Aladdin taps the championship for a moment, “It looks like something got touched by the Hand of Midas!”
“Keep your hands to yourself! I’m talking to Jasmine!” Jennie says with a louder tone. Aladdin and Jasmine both blink and exchange glances, and Jennie just brushes her hair back, “Where was I? Now, don’t get me wrong, I know there’s something… just something, ‘cause you know, you have Mister V talking about Legion and all that jazz, for we are many, blah, blah, blah, and Jessie has always had a pretty close working relationship with him. So, it’s like– I can’t help but have that little itch at the back of my head that knows I just– I can’t trust anyone. I shouldn’t trust anyone! Right?!” She stares up at them with inquisitive eyes.
Both of them fumble over their own words, leading Jennie to continue her point, “I mean, you trusted Jafar! Look where that got you!” Jennie says while throwing her arms into the air, and exaggeratingly rolling her eyes.
“I never trusted him,” Jasmine says.
“I– I–” Aladdin stutters and just finally shrugs.
“Trust the guy that uses a snake as a staff! That sounds brilliant!” Jennie exclaims.
“She’s got a point. You should’ve known.” Jasmine says.
Aladdin is fumbling over the words again while Jasmine and Jennie both just shake their head disapprovingly at him.
“Now!” Jennie slaps her hands against her thighs, “ANYWAYS! She’s also got that little bit of history… the triad thingamabobber? I wasn’t here for any of that, but I heard things… But should I judge her down for that? Should I keep bashing her with what’s in the past? I’ve had things from my past come up to be used against me, and let me tell you, I’m not too fond of it in the least! It’s like– that happened– three months ago. Make like Elsa and LET IT GO! So– you know what– that’s how I’m going to approach this. I know that Jessie is an incredibly talented, and incredibly gifted competitor, and she seems like she’d be a fun person to hang out with! Maybe– after the show– she’s going to be a tough cookie to crack, but that’s how I want it! That’s how I’ve always wanted it! I don’t like things just being handed to me, y’know? If Mister V is gonna go ahead and pull all the ladies from the Hall of Fame, I’ll take them all on. And I’ll fight to keep my title.”
“I admire your courage!” Jasmine says, patting Jennie on the shoulder.
“And I love your solo song from the live action movie! Don’t let them take that away from you!” Jennie says, taking Jasmine by the arm. The scenery transitions one last time, and reopens in the middle of the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, where the camera scours the audience while sharing their story with everybody. We find Jennie, Allen, and all of the children sitting in their respective row, as Allen seems to be bonding well with the children– he’s creating a mohawk for Damien.
“If we’re gonna get you on the camera, you gotta have something to help you stand out.” Allen says.
Meanwhile, the voiceover says, “Mike with one eye…” and the camera fixates on one person. Jennie, Allen, and the kids all look at the camera to see a bald headed dude on the camera, and he simply waves. The narrator clears their throat and repeats, “Mike with ONE EYE!” The camera remains fixed on the individual, and he still smiles and just waves at everybody who is still watching him on the screen. The narrator continues again, “MIKE! WITH! ONE! EYE!” the narrator becoming more and more frustrated with having to repeat himself, but the guy still just waves.
“CLOSE YOUR EYE, ASSHOLE!” Allen Chaney shouts.
The guy gets a confused look on his face, and then finally mouths the word, “OH!” before finally closing one eye.
The shout got some of the attention their way as Jennie just politely waves, and awkwardly smiles, but much of the audience is laughing from Allen’s response, and the narrator is clearly nervous after the random heckle from Allen, as Allen just crosses his arms. The narrator still continues, “Oh! Well, I wouldn’t say it quite like that but… MIKE with ONE EYE!”
“I’m not apologizing.” Allen says.
"I got a joke for you," the narrator says, "What do you call cheese that's not yours?!"
A voice shouts out from across the room, "NACHO CHEESE!"
Jennie springs to her feet, and narrows her eyes on the person, who is already laughing at the joke, "Vhodka?!"
The person turns their head, and Vhodka Black waves, "Oh, hi, Jennie! Allen! This guys a hoot, isn't he?"
Jennie turns her head ever so slightly over her shoulder with Tara standing right behind her, “Remember that time we–”
“Yes!” Tara interjects, “Please, we don’t have to relive those memories.”
The children all look confused as they weren’t allowed to watch Blood Money II that pit the two sisters in a battle royale that took place at this very park. Jennie is all smiles as she awaits the announcement that the park is going to open. Without further ado, the trumpets blare! It sounds like something you’d only see on television or in a movie, because it’s something that you could easily overlook from all of the murmurs behind you…
The gates are opening!
The chime from the wristbands are heard one by one, and people are directed to and fro… The person assisting the household immediately takes a second glance at Jennie before raising their own voice in excitement, “Oh, my God! Jennie! I can’t believe it’s you!”

“Okay! Okay! Okay!” Jennie says, clapping her hands together, “We didn’t discuss the battle plan! Start over at Pirates, and then Jungle Cruise?!” she says while pacing back and forth and looking for where to start but then something catches her eye. “MICKEY AND MINNIE ARE HERE! Tara, Tara, Tara, Tara, Tara–” she speaks rapidly, “WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM!”
“Okay, okay. Calm down,” Tara says in a much calmer tone than Jennie, “We’ll take them, but–” Tara barely finishes her sentence when Jennie, Eddie, and Damien all dash toward the line, “Dole… whip…” Tara mutters.
Allen taps the Disney band on his wrist, glancing around, “I’m starting with a pretzel.”
For the moment, everyone seems to go their own way. Jennie and Tara with the children all for the meet and greet of Mickey and Minnie, Allen in search of a pretzel, and who knows what Sabin is going off to do? Perhaps join Allen in the quest for a pretzel? Dole Whip? Meet Chip and Dale? The list goes on.
Since it is the opening hours of the park, the line wasn’t too long, but long enough that Allen Chaney is able to rejoin them in the line. Jennie squeals again, and excitedly moves toward the next line where Allen is seen holding a spot in line, while dipping his pretzel into the warm cheese cup.

“OH! This?! It’s the– the– the IWF Women’s World Championship! That’s ME!” Jennie says while pointing a thumb at herself, “I’m the IWF Women’s World Champion.”
Minnie looks just as excited as Jennie, and keeps making hand gestures back and forth between both of them. Jennie seems to pick up on what they’re saying off the bat, “Oh, you want to wear it for the picture?!

“JENNIE, YOU’RE HOLDING UP THE LINE!” Tara shouts…she does her best not to sound so aggressive but the people all behind them were becoming more and more frustrated the longer Jennie took.
“Oh! So sorry!” Jennie says, and gives a quick hug to both Mickey and Minnie, before taking her title…
The rest of the meet and greet there goes off without a hitch. The sisters walk with a pep in their step out of the first meet and greet, but something immediately catches Jennie’s eye - MEET AND GREET FOR TINKER BELL! Sabin is standing in the line with a churro, and Jennie springs forward to jump in the line with her nephew, as she takes a piece of the churro and nods to him. Sabin has a look more like "what the fuck" but he lets it go. After all, it is his aunt.

Tara grumbles under her breath but joins the duo in line with the rest of the kids piling in as well. The scenery fades momentarily, re-fading back inside of the meet and greet section with Tinker Bell.
“All I’ve ever wanted to be, Tink,” Jennie says whilst sitting atop a flower inside of the magical realm of Tinker Bell. Tinker Bell sits criss-cross across from Jennie, hunched forward, and listening intently, while Jennie continues, “Was a fighting champion.

I had to call everybody out, but none of them wanted to get in the ring with me, and so– I saw an opportunity with Brookie, y’know? I saw an opportunity to fight a Hall of Famer. I saw an opportunity to fight who is, arguably, the greatest IWF Women’s World Champion in the history of the company! I know, I know, I know that people are still going on and on about Shelly Diamond, ‘cause I’m guilty of it myself–” she says while pressing her hand to her chest, and licks her lips quickly, “–but I thought about it, and if I had to pick one person who stands as the greatest champion in the history of the company… I would give Brooklyn that honor. Now, ROUND TWO! And who am I up against? ANOTHER HALL OF FAMER!” Jennie exclaims.
She takes a momentary pause, letting her excitement kind of die down just a little bit. With her lips pursed back together, Jennie finally asks the question, “Do you think I can do this twice?”
“What do you think?” Tinker Bell asks, and she gives a genuine smile, “Just remember what I say, though: all you need is a little bit of faith, trust, and pixie dust!” Tinker Bell says as she springs to her feet, holding her hand over Jennie, but Jennie raises her hand to get her to stop momentarily.
“And challengers!” Jennie blurts out.
“And challengers!” Tinker Bell agrees, and sprinkles some glitter over an absolutely giddy Jennie.
The imagery transitions from the magical realm of fairies into the outdoor area. Over by the Magic Carpet ride near the meet and greet for Aladdin and Jasmine, Jennie has a strap attached to her niece, Lilith – say what you will about kids on leashes, but it’s very convenient when you’re going to Disney World, and you’re able to have two hands free while keeping a toddler from getting lost and kidnapped! VERY! CONVENIENT! Meanwhile, Eddie and Damien are able to roam a little more freely but never out of sight of Jennie, as she stands in the line for the famous DOLE WHIP!
“NEXT!” the concession stand attendee calls out, and Jennie takes a step forward, but has to stop on her heel as a ginger man tries to squeeze through really quick with a Dole Whip in his hands.
Jennie’s eyes widen momentarily as she takes a second glance at the man, “CLIFF?!”
The ginger man known to the audience as none other than the assistant to the mystery co-general manager, Cliff, stops and takes his own second glance at Jennie standing at the front of the line, “Jennie! I thought you’d all be down in Fort Lauderdale!” Cliff says, as he walks in close and gives a quick hug to Jennie; Jennie hugs back.
The overlapping voice in the background, “NEXT!” shouts out to urge Jennie forward, but Jennie holds up a finger to ask for a moment.
“We decided to turn it into a Disney trip! And– well, what Disney trip is complete without a DOLE WHIP, AM I RIGHT?!” Jennie says.
“It’s way better than a boba! And I do love me a boba.” Cliff says with a nod, “Anyways! I’m actually here on a date…” Cliff smiles and glances over, waving, as the camera pans over for a quick glimpse. All we see is a huge wave of people.
Jennie waves in the general direction, but is unsure of who she’s waving to, “I– I don’t– I don’t see… Who am I waving to?”
“Yeah…” Cliff says with a contempt sigh, and a mild smile on his face, “But– y’know, if there’s anything I can get for you, don’t hesitate to shoot me a text!”
“NEXT!” the concession shouts again, more aggravated this time as the growing line behind Jennie is getting equally aggravated, and Jennie waves as if to apologize to all of them before stepping forward.
“I’m going to need – TWELVE DOLE WHIPS!” Jennie says.
The crowd behind her groans as they know it could take a while to fulfill the order. Imagery transitions to the next scene.
At the next meet and greet, Jennie sits on the magic carpet with both Aladdin and Jasmine standing on both sides of her… All the while, Jennie rambles on to them about her upcoming opponent at High Stakes, Jessica Reed, “I’m excited for it, let me tell you! I really am! Y’know, I couldn’t help but be a little disappointed during my first run as champion ‘cause I didn’t do it to the standard that I wanted to set – but it’s like, is that something that should upset me? Shelly Diamond AND Brooklyn Madrox, who are BOTH Hall of Famers, and now… JESSICA REED! Who is another Hall of Famer!” Jennie sounds more and more ecstatic, and more and more excited at the thought of the competition that she’s going to be stepping up against. From her first run as the champion, to her second run, each person that she has defended against have been big names in the company. Three Hall of Famers.
“There’re a lot of names that could have easily come up when I thought about who I’d be getting into the ring with, and I’m not gonna lie – Jessica Reed was not one of the names that I thought would come up. She was the first Hall of Famer! She was the first IWF Women’s World Champion! She was the one who started it all for everybody in this company! It’s like– surreal, y’know? It’s a big deal!”
Jasmine and Aladdin both nod a little bit, and Aladdin taps the championship for a moment, “It looks like something got touched by the Hand of Midas!”
“Keep your hands to yourself! I’m talking to Jasmine!” Jennie says with a louder tone. Aladdin and Jasmine both blink and exchange glances, and Jennie just brushes her hair back, “Where was I? Now, don’t get me wrong, I know there’s something… just something, ‘cause you know, you have Mister V talking about Legion and all that jazz, for we are many, blah, blah, blah, and Jessie has always had a pretty close working relationship with him. So, it’s like– I can’t help but have that little itch at the back of my head that knows I just– I can’t trust anyone. I shouldn’t trust anyone! Right?!” She stares up at them with inquisitive eyes.
Both of them fumble over their own words, leading Jennie to continue her point, “I mean, you trusted Jafar! Look where that got you!” Jennie says while throwing her arms into the air, and exaggeratingly rolling her eyes.
“I never trusted him,” Jasmine says.
“I– I–” Aladdin stutters and just finally shrugs.
“Trust the guy that uses a snake as a staff! That sounds brilliant!” Jennie exclaims.
“She’s got a point. You should’ve known.” Jasmine says.
Aladdin is fumbling over the words again while Jasmine and Jennie both just shake their head disapprovingly at him.
“Now!” Jennie slaps her hands against her thighs, “ANYWAYS! She’s also got that little bit of history… the triad thingamabobber? I wasn’t here for any of that, but I heard things… But should I judge her down for that? Should I keep bashing her with what’s in the past? I’ve had things from my past come up to be used against me, and let me tell you, I’m not too fond of it in the least! It’s like– that happened– three months ago. Make like Elsa and LET IT GO! So– you know what– that’s how I’m going to approach this. I know that Jessie is an incredibly talented, and incredibly gifted competitor, and she seems like she’d be a fun person to hang out with! Maybe– after the show– she’s going to be a tough cookie to crack, but that’s how I want it! That’s how I’ve always wanted it! I don’t like things just being handed to me, y’know? If Mister V is gonna go ahead and pull all the ladies from the Hall of Fame, I’ll take them all on. And I’ll fight to keep my title.”
“I admire your courage!” Jasmine says, patting Jennie on the shoulder.
“And I love your solo song from the live action movie! Don’t let them take that away from you!” Jennie says, taking Jasmine by the arm. The scenery transitions one last time, and reopens in the middle of the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, where the camera scours the audience while sharing their story with everybody. We find Jennie, Allen, and all of the children sitting in their respective row, as Allen seems to be bonding well with the children– he’s creating a mohawk for Damien.
“If we’re gonna get you on the camera, you gotta have something to help you stand out.” Allen says.
Meanwhile, the voiceover says, “Mike with one eye…” and the camera fixates on one person. Jennie, Allen, and the kids all look at the camera to see a bald headed dude on the camera, and he simply waves. The narrator clears their throat and repeats, “Mike with ONE EYE!” The camera remains fixed on the individual, and he still smiles and just waves at everybody who is still watching him on the screen. The narrator continues again, “MIKE! WITH! ONE! EYE!” the narrator becoming more and more frustrated with having to repeat himself, but the guy still just waves.
“CLOSE YOUR EYE, ASSHOLE!” Allen Chaney shouts.
The guy gets a confused look on his face, and then finally mouths the word, “OH!” before finally closing one eye.
The shout got some of the attention their way as Jennie just politely waves, and awkwardly smiles, but much of the audience is laughing from Allen’s response, and the narrator is clearly nervous after the random heckle from Allen, as Allen just crosses his arms. The narrator still continues, “Oh! Well, I wouldn’t say it quite like that but… MIKE with ONE EYE!”
“I’m not apologizing.” Allen says.
"I got a joke for you," the narrator says, "What do you call cheese that's not yours?!"
A voice shouts out from across the room, "NACHO CHEESE!"
Jennie springs to her feet, and narrows her eyes on the person, who is already laughing at the joke, "Vhodka?!"
The person turns their head, and Vhodka Black waves, "Oh, hi, Jennie! Allen! This guys a hoot, isn't he?"
END.
Well howdy there pardner.
