The scene opens to a newly furnished apartment in an unknown location. It’s a nice Friday afternoon and the sun was just about to set from the view of the open window. The camera then pans to various pictures of Roxy on the walls of the house, along with past pictures of her time in previous wrestling companies, particularly her time with her besties from The Dollhouse. The view then stops at a half-opened door where the bright light peeks through from inside. It was the only bedroom in the apartment and at the center is a queen-sized bed neatly made with pink and white-colored sheets. On the other side of the room, Roxy is seen sitting down in a small chair, across a small children’s table, with plastic teacups and a kettle above it. Around the table are three more chairs with toys resting on them -- a teddy bear, a barbie doll, and a babydoll.
Roxy: More tea, Mrs. McGlee?
Roxy wears a small pink ruffled dress that only goes halfway down her thighs. Her shiny blonde hair is down and she wears a beach hat over her head and sunglasses over her eyes. She moves the barbie doll with her hand while she does it’s voiceover as if she is having a conversation.
Babydoll “Mrs. McGlee”: Suuure Roxy! How kind of you!
Roxy: Thank you for coming to my tea party! You see, I am not really a fan of tea overall, but it seems like a lot of people are. I figured this would be a perfect time to do a housewarming party since I’ve just moved to this place!
Roxy takes the toy kettle and pours some “tea” on the teacup across Mrs. McGlee. The camera now focuses on the Teddy Bear with a nametag “Dipp” and Roxy once again does his voiceover.
Teddy Bear “Dipp”: Well, Roxy… If you don’t like tea so much, then you could have had a barbecue party instead! Everyone loves those!
Roxy: Hmm… True but that would require me to get some ingredients and set it up and make sure that everything is cooked to perfection! That is just too much pressure, you know? But don’t worry! We have biscuits too! They are freshly baked from the bakeshop, they always make good biscuits and bagels out there! Lolly-Jay is friends with the owner, so I was able to get a discount!
Baby Doll “Lolly Jay”: Why yes, I come there every day for bagels and coffee! They make everything with love!
Roxy now pretends to take a “sip” of the tea.
Roxy: Say… Where is our last guest?
Roxy looks across her and there is an empty chair with a folded paper over it that says “Reserved for Keith Williams”
Roxy: It’s a shame that he’s missing such a nice party! I thought he’d want to come by to check on the competition since he is coming after me and the Ride the Lightning Championship after all! There I was in my very first match in RRW, celebrating my win and making sure that everyone knew exactly who Roxy is but that damn guy had to crash the party and make it about himself because someone new has come along with all the spotlight on her. And I know. I rub people the wrong way! Veterans and Champions become intimidated of me in fear that they might lose the attention and praises that are supposed to be reserved for them, but is it really my fault that my skills are incredible and incomparable? I’d thank my parents for making me who I am today, but in the end, it’s all my effort and not anyone else’s that put me on the winning side of that match. And it’s super lame that Keith didn’t even try to know me before stealing my thunder! Shame!
Roxy takes a spare teacup and puts it on a table. She takes the plastic toy kettle and “pours” some tea.
Roxy: That is exactly why I invited him to this tea party, but he didn’t show! We could have been friends, but I suppose it can all wait when I get in the ring with them. I have nothing to be ashamed of and I can’t even begin to tell you how many men and women have threatened to brutalize me in that ring only to fall short in the end. I guess that’s always been the trend. We stick our nose in businesses that don’t concern us. We overcompensate for every little thing we lack. And we jump the gun without thinking of the consequences and that’s exactly what Keith continues to do. I won the match fair and square, I bested the hungry challengers and made them my bitch, so why is he allowed to just walk in there and put me on the spot where I had no other choice but to accept? Don’t get me wrong, I honestly don’t have a problem with that at all! I’ll take on anyone anytime, but why does he get to suddenly challenge a newly crowned Champion without working for it? What exactly did he do to earn this moment in the sun? If he wanted the Ride the Lightning Championship so bad, if he’s so confident that he could defeat anyone in his way, then why did he just not join the scrambles match and proved it himself? Right, I guess he’s too good for that. After all, why would you go through four people when you could just focus on one? I would have gone with that option myself given the chance!
Roxy places the teacup across her, near the empty chair, as if to offer.
Roxy: But that’s okay! It’s okay to be afraid of humiliation! It’s okay to be in constant fear of being overshadowed by the girl who just got here! Old Roxy would have been like “Put your title on the line against mine” to make it even-steven but new Roxy does not want anything in return. New Roxy just wants to prove that she’s exactly where she belongs -- at the top of the company with gold around her waist and a name to be remembered. I suggest you accept my friendship now, Keith! Come play with me! I’m sure you’re a good guy! I’m sure you’d understand! Because I assure you that you are going to hate me forever if this doesn’t pan out and Sweet little Roxy outplays and outlasts you in that ring and walk out STILL the Champion. Maybe then, you’ll learn to truly know what you’re up against first before you recklessly challenge someone who is tough to defeat. We’re gonna have so much fun!
Roxy giggles. She takes her teacup and once again takes a “sip”, smirking, before the view fades to black.
