(Pixi sits cross-legged on the couch reading all the latest UPW promos. Her prized and very recent acquisition; the UPW Sim City belt rests across the back of that couch. Behind her Larry is busy practising some of her cheerleading moves. She stops and peers over Pixi’s shoulders to see what she’s doing.)
Larry: Oh. That’s Jester. He’s ...ah….an odd one for sure, but I have to say, he really hit the nail on the head there when talking about Rain. He can’t have it both ways. If he’s so damn good, he shouldn’t be hiding behind excuses. He lost. Get over it.
Pixi: Well, I am minded to offer him a rematch. I like fighting Rain. He’s good: fast and strong with an excellent skill set. If I’m going to be the greatest Sin City champion – EVER, then I can’t dodge the strongest challengers. That’s not how it works. But you know, all that psychological rubbish he tried...(She shakes her head). I don’t regret decisions. I don’t have doubts. We Pixies have a LOT of positive energy. We don’t dwell on failures. We focus on the good, what works and what can be improved. By fighting Rain I WILL improve. That’s what’s important.
Larry: So is watering your plants.
Pixi: I know, but over-watering is the most common cause of house plants dying. They’re all fine. In fact, they’re in a lot better shape than a lot of the talent in UPW.
Larry: I hear you. Boy, are there a ton of bruised egos out there right now. Seems like YOU are the only one that can take a loss and just keep on going – regardless.
Pixi: It’s Positive Pixie Power!
Larry: Yeah….I think jester gets his in dust form. Oh, say – can we head over to Jack’s tomorrow? I want to spread the word: The Raiders got a new cheerleader and she’s AWESOME! I managed to collar some tickets for the next game too. I was going to give 2 to Annie and Carson.
Pixi: I think Annie would rather play than watch, but it’s a big party, so that ought to appeal to her. But...Moe might want a couple – just to try to impress her.
Larry: He’s a trier. I’ll give him that.
Pixi: And he doesn’t complain constantly when he comes up short. So he’s better than so many others in UPW. And he doesn’t even fight.
Larry: True, but you do and do it well enough for two. I’m sure that Rain actually realises that - despite all the rhetoric.
Pixi: The rhetoric is what makes it fun. I’m just cherishing the moment. I won. I won AGAIN. That’s THREE TIMES I’ll held gold. The naysayers can cut it any way they want. It won’t alter the record books.
Larry: Can’t argue with that. Now are you just going to sit there or are you going to join me in some fabulous stretching exercises. They gave me some new ones to do, you know.
Pixi: Yeah, like you can’t do them.
Larry: Of course I can! I just want to be better than the other girls.
Pixi: You’ve been hanging around too many wrestlers – that’s where that competitive streak comes from I’m sure.
Larry: Says YOU!
Pixi: It’s allowed. I AM a wrestler and amazingly good one at that.
(Pixi then gets up, placing the tablet down and circles around the sofa to join Larry in some truly mind-boggling stretching.)
