After Show For Pride S03E01

[Deleted]

Hey guys. I figured this would be a good way to keep storylines moving heading into the "off week".

After each show, I'll post an After Show thread for each show. The idea of the After Show is to give your in-character thoughts on what happened on the show.

Want to move your storyline alone? Talk about it?

You wanted to send in that backstage segment but never sent it in time? Post it here.

You got attacked? Talk about it.

You got screwed? Talk about it.

You want to brag? Talk about it.

I'm not asking for anything much. This isn't even mandatory. But 5-6 lines at the most is perfectly fine. If you want to do more than that? By all means, go for it.

If you do respond to these threads, then your character's dialogue will be used in upcoming magazine shows, DVD tapings and news reports. Again, it's just a way to keep storylines moving.

Donovan Cross is seen walking backstage with his best friend Bree Nelson after a hard fought victory over Ligaya Fontaine. You would think that the scene would be more of a celebratory one, but instead the two pace along the corridor in an awkward silence; both seemingly lost in their own thoughts. Donnie glances at Bree briefly, before glancing back down towards the floor. Finally he stops, and touches her shoulder, getting her attention. He signs to her.

Donnie Cross: <Hey, is everything alright?>

Bree tries to shy away, but Donnie grabs onto her shoulders so that she’s looking right at him. She sighs before signing back to him.

Bree Nelson: <I think you can guess why I’ve been so distant lately.>

Donovan looks down at the ground for a second. His assumption that Bree had seem him sneaking into their apartment early in the morning a few weeks back confirmed. He sighs. 

Donnie Cross: <So it does have something to do with that morning?> 

He just needed her to say it so he could figure out how to proceed with the conversation. Bree looks down at the floor for a second before she begins signing back to Donnie as she ingests what he had just told her.

Bree Nelson: <It’s really none of my business. I just was really surprised is all… and kind of disappointed.>

Donnie lets out a sigh and runs a hand through his hair as his gaze falls to the floor. There's a million things that he wants to say, but he isn't exactly sure where to start. He looks back up at her and begins to sign.

Donnie Cross: <Look Bree, it's not what ya think. I mean...>

He stops, trying to think of the proper way to put things, but before he can....

Valcone: WELL LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE!

The camera pans back just enough to show Valcone walking up to the duo, moving his hands around as if he were signing with them.

VALCONE: What does this mean?

Valcone points at his face, then uses his other hand to point at Donnie’s. Valcone then spits directly next to Bree’s feet and begins to laugh hysterically over absolutely nothing.

VALCONE: In case you didn’t knooooooow! That means YOU ARE UGLY! UGLY UGLY UGLY! UGGGGGGGGGGLEHHHHHHHHHH!

Valcone leaps up into the air, clicks his heels, and spreads his arms out to the side while staring directly at the duo.

VALCONE: UGGGGGGGGGGGLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! TA-DAAAAAA!

He shakes his hands as if he had just finished up an epic musical number, and then takes a seat on the floor directly next to the duo.

VALCONE: What are the plans for tonight, guys?! ARE WE GONNA GO OUT FOR A NIGHT IN TOWN!? PICK UP SOME CHICKS?!

He points up at Donnie while staring at Bree.

VALCONE: This one’s done more than his fair share of picking up chicks, hasn’t he, BREEEEWHEELIN!? Oh, I almost forgot… YOU CAN’T HEAR ME! Errr, how does this go?

He fidgets his hands a bit, pretending to sign.

VALCONE: Uhhh, yeah. I might need some more lessons on this sign language thing. WILL YOU GUYS BE UGLY DARLINGS AND TEACH ME?!

Donnie grits his teeth and gives Valcone the death glare.

Donnie Cross: Whattaya want, MacRear?

His frustration with Valcone's timing is clearly evident in his demeanor. He flexes his palms open and shut before balling them into tight fists at his side. He steps in front of Bree, slightly shielding her.

Donnie Cross: Now really ain't the time. Why don't ya just run along and go bother someone else. N

VALCONE: Now ain’t the time?! NOW AIN’T THE TIME?!

Valcone pushes himself up to his feet, and glances down at the imaginary watch on his wrist.

VALCONE: Now looks like the perfect time to me! Oh, and BY THE WAY, DONOHUGH…

The masked MacRear takes a step towards Donnie and Bree, but then takes one wide step back once he sees Cross opening and closing his fists.

VALCONE: AIN’T AIN’T A WORD!

He shifts his focus over to Bree.

VALCONE: Can you believe this guy?! Using the word AIN’T like it’s something to do! How do you feel about the word ain’t, Bree?!

Valcone holds his arm out as if he were holding a microphone towards Bree and Donnie’s face.

VALCONE: ACTUALLY NOOOOOOOOO! I HAVE A BETTER QUESTION! HOW DO BOTH OF YOU YOUNG UGLIES FEEL THAT YOU AIN’T PICK UP THE WIN AND 2ND IMPACT?! HMMMMMMMMM?! HMMMMMMMMMM?! Either one of you could answer this one. Verbally, please, SINCE SOMEONE DOESN’T WANT TO TEACH ME HOW TO SIGN LIKE ALL THE OTHER COOL KIDS!

Donnie's face is growing redder by the second with anger. He steps towards Valcone, but Bree grabs him by the arm. Donnie looks at her and Bree just shakes her head. Donnie lets out a deep sigh.

Donnie Cross: You're so proud of that ain't ya? Having to resort to a low blow yet again. Seems to be the only way ya can get the job done, MacRear. But ya know what? I'll give it to ya; you got one over on us at 2nd Impact and I take full responsibility for that. But you're gonna get what's comin to ya one of these days. I guarantee it.

Valcone throws Donnie the spooky fingers.

VALCONE: OHHHH! I’M GONNA GET WHAT’S COMING TO ME, HUH?! And what exactly is coming to me… DONOHUGH?!

Donnie stares at him for a good while before breaking into a smirk.

Donnie Cross: Your true hideousness exposed for the world to see. In due time, MacRear. In due time.

Valcone simply brushes Donnie’s words off and lets out a yawn, letting him and Bree both know that he was getting bored with their conversation.

VALCONE: Oh, Donohugh. Donohugh, Donohugh, Donohugh… You just never learn, do you? Your threats?

He chuckles.

VALCONE: Laughable. How many TIMES do I have to kick you below the belt before you understand that you are SIMPLY NO MATCH FOR ME?! DO YOU NOT WANT TO HAVE CHILDRENS WITH BOO BOO BEAR BEHIND YOU?!

He covers his mouth after his words.

VALCONE: Ohhhhh. OHHHHHHHH! SHE’S NOT THE ONE WHO YOU’RE INFATUATED WITH, IS SHE DONOHUGH!? Is that where this conversation was going before I got here?! Silly me…

After chuckling a bit, Valcone begins to step in the opposite direction of Bree and Donnie.

VALCONE: I’ll let you two little… whatever you are to one another hash out your problems. Let you apologize to Bree here and explain your current situation. Hopefully it doesn’t fall on deaf ears.

He covers his mouth again and begins to skip away from the duo.

VALCONE: CIAO BITCHES!

#MacRearVoice

Donnie stands there glowering as he watches Valcone skip away. Bree looks at Donnie, hoping he'll fill her in on the parts she wasn't able to pick up, but Donnie doesn't wanna clue her in on Valcone's tasteless comments.

Donnie Cross: In due time, MacRear.

He turns to Bree and signs to her.

Donnie Cross: <He's going to get his... we're going to make sure of it.>

Donnie glances back in Valcone's direction before the scene slowly fades out.
