[ The plan is almost complete. All of the pieces are nearly in place. The Shoot Kings? Proud members of FRONTIER. Jay Pride? FRONTIER for life. Laurel Anne Hardy and Evangelista? They wave the FRONTIER flag proudly. Even CJ Osborne, a man no longer contracted by this organization, has said that he will be there for FRONTIER if needed. But for some reason, one person is still undecided. One person still doesn't know where she stands. Well she better find herself a clue and quick. Because the longer she drags this out, the more she's going to piss the other side off. For her sake, she better make the right choice. ]
Chandler: Madison, how are things with Alexia Brandt going? Am I making any progress?
(Madison continues to scroll. Judging by Chandler's question, Madison is likely going over Alexia's tweets.)
Madison: Things are still as contentious as ever.
(Chandler sighs. He looks up at the ceiling and shakes his head. He searches for answers, needing to know what he has to do to convince Alexia to join the FRONTIER front.)
Chandler: Why? How? Doesn't she know that world famous feminist Drew Emery follows me on Twitter?
Madison: She does. But I'm not sure she believes you.
Chandler: All she has to do is check my followers list. Does she know that I absolutely loathe slut shaming and that it is one of the worst things that can be directed at the female populace?
Madison: She does. But she also thinks that you're being overbearing.
Chandler: Overbearing? How in the world am I being overbearing when I'm the one that's agreeing with her cause? Hmm, let's see what else. Did she see those random feminist quotes that I posted?
Madison: She saw them and even favorited them...
Chandler: Great!
Madison: ... but I'm sure she believes that you have no idea where those quotes even came from.
Chandler: Of course I don't know where they came from! I just typed "feminism quotes" into google and picked out the ones that I thought sounded the best.
(Madison shakes her head at Chandler's cluelessness.)
Madison: Thus you proving her point.
Chandler: Dammit! You know, there's a difference between "playing hard to get" and being stubborn as hell. What does she think, I'm trying to get into her pants or something? I have no interest in her sexually. She does absolutely nothing for me. The only thing I want from her is loyalty, not a roll in the sack.
Madison: While I admit that she is playing hardball, you are coming off kind of desperate.
Chandler: Desperate? How?
(Madison turns back to Chandler and cocks an eyebrow.)
Madison: Have you actually gone back and read some of these tweets that you've directed at her?
(Chandler curls his lip as he bops his head from side to side, going over some of those tweets in his head.)
Chandler: ..... fair point. But there's something that I've got to do about this. There has to be a way that I can finally convince her to come over to the FRONTIER side.
Madison: What about Preston?
Chandler: What about him?
Madison: Isn't he like friends with her or something?
(And just like that, the lightbulb goes off.)
Chandler: ..... you know what? You're right! He is friends with her. Preston is the key! I can get him to try and manipulate Alexia into siding with FRONTIER. You're a genius, babe.
(Madison smirks as she nonchalantly brushes her hair off her shoulders.)
Madison: I have my moments.
(After Chandler kisses her on the cheek, he picks up his iPhone and heads out of the room. Hopefully this is the beginning of delivering another huge blow to FGA.)
[ Preston can be seen stepping away from a weight machine inside of a gym. Beads of sweat roll down his face and arm. The neck area of a sky blue sleeveless shirt is darkened with sweat. After sitting down on a bench and wiping off his face, he wears a buzzing sound coming from his left. He looks over towards his phone and sees the name "Chandler Scott" appear on the screen. Preston reaches over and presses the answer button.]
Preston: Hello?
Chandler: Hey man. What's going on?
Preston: Nothing much. Just getting in a little action at the gym.
Chandler: It must be nice. How are The Hamptons treating you?
Preston: Quite lively. I just got back from Miami earlier in the week. As much fun as South Beach is, there's nothing quite like The Hamptons.
Chandler: I hear you on that. How's the rehab coming along?
Preston: It's coming along. I've had a little setback here and there. And this elbow was healing a little slower than the doc and I anticipated. But I'm making progress. Almost back at 100%.
Chandler: That's great news, man! I've missed seeing you in the ring.
Preston: Shoot, I've missed being in the ring.
Chandler: Of course. Hey, while I've got you on the line, I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor?
Preston: Depends on what it is.
Chandler: Okay. You know of this Alexia Brandt chick right?
Preston: Yeah, I know her. We were both in Titan Wrestling for a little bit. Once that place suddenly closed, I happened to mention FGA to her and she joined up a couple of days after that.
Chandler: Good, good. So you've definitely got a rapport with her, correct?
Preston: I would say so, yeah.
Chandler: And would it be safe to say that you guys are friends?
Preston: It's not like we go out for drinks or anything like that. But every time we've conversed, it's always been pleasant.
Chandler: Good enough. So here's the favor that I need. You know that FRONTIER and FGA are having another show coming up in August, right?
Preston: I've seen the back and forth tweets. How could I not?
Chandler: Well as I'm sure you know, I've finally chosen sides and have sided with FRONTIER. Even that follower Pat Gordon Jr has weaseled his way over here.
Preston: Why would anyone hire him?
Chandler: That's what I said! But anyway, there's two names that I'm trying to convert to FRONTIER. And that's Jason Richards and your buddy, Alexia. They both work for FGA and FRONTIER. But both of them were also in FRONTIER first. So in my mind, it would only make sense for them to side with the place of employment that they were at first. Right?
Preston: I could understand that line of thinking.
Chandler: Well when it comes to the ladies, I know you have a way with words with them. I've seen how you've sweet talked both Riley Lynn and Alexia.
(Preston can't help but to smirk.)
Preston: I wouldn't exactly say I've seen "sweet talking" them....
Chandler: You know what I mean.
Preston: ... Okay. I'm listening....
Chandler: I need you to use some of those smooth moves on Alexia. You know, get into her head a little bit and convince her that siding with FRONTIER is the best move for her.
Preston: And I would do this because?
Chandler: Because? Because I'm your friend and I'm asking you for a damn favor.
Preston: Sounds to me like you're more or less demanding that I do this.
Chandler: Look, are you going to do this or not?
Preston: I'll tell you what. This whole FRONTIER vs FGA thing, I have nothing to do with it. I wasn't involved the last time. And because of my injury, I certainly won't be involved this time. Look Chandler, you're one of my best friends and all. But I respect Alexia. And I'm not going to use her for your gain.
Chandler: Are you kidding me? What the hell happened to you? Has this injury made you go soft or something? Where is the conniving Preston Blake that turned A.J.Fairchild and Ryan Kidd against each other? Where's the conniving Preston Blake that staged a petition with the Battered Women Society to try and get A.J. Fairchild fired? Hell, weren't you just needling both Dom Harter and Heather Halliwell just a couple of weeks ago? And now you're trying to hit me with this " noble" act?
Preston: I don't need to explain my actions to you. You're a grown man, Chandler. But more importantly than that, you're a hell of a wrestler. I'm more than confident that you'll be able to get yourself out of this mess. Now if you excuse me, I've got to run. Best of luck, buddy.
Chandler: But Preston! PRESTON! PRES-

[ Madison is still reading away on the laptop as a dejected Chandler mopes his way back into the room. He heads over and faceplants right onto the bed. ]
Madison: So, how did it go?
Chandler: About as horrible as it possibly could.
Madison: Why, what happened?
Chandler: Preston said he's not going to do it.
Madison: WHAT?
(Chandler turns over onto his back and then sits up.)
Chandler: That was pretty much the reaction I had.
Madison: Well babe, this is probably the worst time to show you this. But.....
Chandler: Show me what?
(Madison waves Chandler over towards her. Chandler gets up and makes his way over to the desk. As Chandler leans over Madison's shoulder, Madison hits the right arrow button. The video of Alexia Brandt's latest FRONTIER promo plays. Chandler clenches his jaw as he hears Alexia's comments towards him.)
Madison: When it rains, it pours?
Chandler: The only thing that's going to be raining is Harvard Hammers on her head.
[ Our scene opens up to the GFC World Heavyweight Champion, Chandler Scott. Chandler stands in front of the FRONTIER backdrop with the GFC World Title draped across his right shoulder. As he begins to speak, he shakes his head in disappointment. ]
Chandler: Alexia, Alexia, Alexia. You disappoint me, you really do. After everything that I've done, you still won't give me an answer. After everything that I've been through for the good of this company and its members, you still won't show me any loyalty. And after all the times that I've shown you that my intentions have been nothing but pure, you still neglect to stand side by side with your World Heavyweight Champion.
(Chandler scans the room with an "I can't believe this!" look on his face.)
Chandler: What gives, Alexia? Why are you playing hard to get? Those are games to be played for teenage girls, not the strong woman that you desperately try to make yourself out to be. Why are you playing hardball with me? Do you.... wait, do you actually think that I have ulterior motives? Do you think that I'm trying to get with you? Is that why you're so reluctant to side with me? Because if that's the case, then you're sadly mistaken. You see, I'm a happily taken man that is madly in love. And even if I weren't in a committed relationship, you're not exactly my type. I prefer my women with a little color in their skin and with a great personality - not skin that's as pale as a ghost with a superiority complex like a certain someone I know. No offense, of course! I wouldn't want to come off as a sexist pig or anything.
(Chandler scoffs at the notion.)
Chandler: The Godfathers of Wrestling are on my side. Madman Szalinski and Graham Clauson, two men that aren't exactly my biggest fans, are on my side. Jay Pride, the man that is probably the polar opposite of me, continues to show me the utmost respect. Even CJ Osborne, who has always had some smart alec comment to make towards me, has pledged to always side with FRONTIER. It seems like the only one that's still sitting here racking their brain over this relatively easy decision is you. And if you ask me, I don't exactly see what the holdup is. What exactly is there to decide? I'm not asking you to pick between wearing the black heels or the flats. I'm not asking you to choose between the cherry red lipstick or the candy apple red. If I were asking you to pick out your wardrobe for the evening, then I could understand you taking a so damn long to decide on something. But this isn't a question about what clothes to wear out to dinner. This is a decision about where your heart and loyalty lies.
If you ask me, the answer is very simple. You shouldn't side with Frontier Grappling Arts. You should side with Pro Wrestling FRONTIER. The reasons are so simple. Do you want to be in a company where they give you championship opportunities or do you want to be with a company that gives you nothing but scraps? Do you want to be with a company that you treats you like an athlete or a company that parades you around like a piece of meat? Do you want to be in a company that actually respects you and your talent? Or do you want to stay in a company where its wrestlers are allowed to throw fireballs in your face? You do know that A.J. Fairchild, the man that the FGA Hype Machine is right back behind, attacked his best friend's girlfriend with a title belt nearly six months ago? You do know that Dom Harter and Malcolm Drake brutally assaulted a woman backstage with a lead pipe. The same Dom Harter that, for some odd reason, is seen as a heartthrob. The same Dom Harter who, for some reason, you bother having contact with you.
So again, Alexia, what exactly is the damn holdup? Do you want to be apart of a classy organization? Or would you rather rot away in FGA in that piece of trash state New Jersey? I figured that a woman who is supposedly all about female empowerment, equality, rational thinking and respect would have made this easy decision weeks ago. But that's not the case. No, what we have here is a freaking wannabe feminist who is debating about staying in an abusive relationship. Oh the irony!
(Chandler snickers over Alexia's blatant hypocrisy.)
Chandler: I've shown you nothing but the utmost respect. But in return, you've shown me nothing but disrespect. You even had the gall to say that you were going to leave me bleeding on the mat. Hmpf! I would love to see you try. You want to know what I think? I think that all of this is a facade. You're not some feminist. You're nothing but some hipster wannabe feminist who thinks she knows all about the female plight because she took one Women's Studies course in college. You were supposed to be this strong woman with a backbone. But all you've done is waver in the wind. And don't just think that this is because I want you to side with FRONTIER. You could have aligned with FGA for all I cared. But at least you would have made a decision. But instead, you're stringing all these men along like the typical female that you hate. Once again, the irony kills me.
Don't blame me because you don't have the guts to make a decision. So what if the decision pains you? So what if it's a hard choice? Hello, you're a grown woman, not some child! Being an adult is all about making tough choices in life! You think it didn't pain me to say goodbye to FGA? You didn't think I had second thoughts about ripping up that new contract they faxed over to me? You think I never second guessed myself over some for the venom that I spewed at that shell of a company? Of course I did! But I made my decision. Or rather I should say, they're chronic mistreatment of me made my decision all the more easy to make. This wasn't a case of me flourishing in one company and floundering in another. I'm the GFC World Champion. And despite how much of a prestigious honor that is, I have accomplished more in FGA by the sheer fact that I've won every belt they have active.
But not you, Alexia. Oh no, you can't be an adult and make a decision for yourself. No, you have to whine, cry and flail your arms around. You have to be so melodramatic. You have to blame me for your all of your problems. A feminist playing the victim? You are slaying with with all this irony.
(Once again, Chandler snickers as he shakes his head over Alexia's thought process.)
Chandler: I'll tell you what, Alexia. I'm not going to threaten you with bodily harm like you've done me. I'm not going to threaten to cut you open and make you bleed like you did me. I'm not even going to threaten to beat some sense into you. You see, I'm far more civilized than that. But let me just say this, I hope that for your sake, you make the right decision. Because if you don't make the right choice, you won't have to worry about me or what I'm going to do. You don't even have to worry about the men and women in that FRONTIER locker room and what they'll do. If you decide to side with FGA, all those fans that surround the ring won't let you leave the arena in one piece.
So go ahead, Alexia, give me your best shot. Show me what it means to Fight Like a Girl. Hmpf! You can fight like a girl, fight like a man or even fight like a transexual for all I car!. At the end of the day, your fighting style won't matter because you will fall to me in defeat. It won't be because I'm stronger than you. It won't even be because I'm a man. It will be simply because I am better than you.
Veritas!

[ Madison Stewart sits in front of her 15" Macbook Pro. Her eyes scroll from left to right, never taking her eyes off the screen. Whatever it is, its surely got her undivided attention. In the background paces Chandler Scott, who can be seen trying to get everything packed for his upcoming trip to FRONTIER. After finally trying to shove his last bit of clothing into the suitcase, he zips it up and takes it from the bed to the floor. One he's made sure that everything is in order, he sits down on the edge of the bed, turns to Madison and speaks. ]Chandler: Madison, how are things with Alexia Brandt going?

But not you, Alexia. Oh no, you can't be an adult and make a decision for yourself. No, you have to whine, cry and flail your arms around. You have to be so melodramatic. You have to blame me for your all of your problems. A feminist playing the victim? You are slaying with with all this irony.
(Once again, Chandler snickers as he shakes his head over Alexia's thought process.)
Chandler: I'll tell you what, Alexia. I'm not going to threaten you with bodily harm like you've done me. I'm not going to threaten to cut you open and make you bleed like you did me. I'm not even going to threaten to beat some sense into you. You see, I'm far more civilized than that. But let me just say this, I hope that for your sake, you make the right decision. Because if you don't make the right choice, you won't have to worry about me or what I'm going to do. You don't even have to worry about the men and women in that FRONTIER locker room and what they'll do. If you decide to side with FGA, all those fans that surround the ring won't let you leave the arena in one piece.
So go ahead, Alexia, give me your best shot. Show me what it means to Fight Like a Girl. Hmpf! You can fight like a girl, fight like a man or even fight like a transexual for all I car!. At the end of the day, your fighting style won't matter because you will fall to me in defeat. It won't be because I'm stronger than you. It won't even be because I'm a man. It will be simply because I am better than you.
Veritas!
