Closed Captioned for the Sign Language Impaired

[Dan Herrera]

Bree is sitting in front of her laptop in the middle of her living room. The TV is on in front of her but she is not paying attention. Right now she is focused on the little 12 inch screen of her laptop. She sits Indian style with the laptop on her legs. She hovers over a video, before she pressed play on it. The video then begins to play on the laptop.

After a few seconds, Bree herself walks into the camera view. She cracks her knuckles and then begins signing to the camera. As she does, Closed Captioning of what she is saying begins to show on screen.

< You may have noticed, I missed da first episode of season 3 for LDFC. But don't fret, I was still dere watching from da back. I just was not booked. I asked for the show off because I really wanted ta think about what had been going on with me for the past month or so. >

She shifted uncomfortably as she continued to sign to the screen.

< After all dat went on with Valcone and Laura Seville. There was no happy endin' to the story. They were still jerks, and we were da losers dat night at 2nd Impact. Just like I was at Season 2 Episode 5 against Liesl. Just as has seemed ta be da case for me lately. >

Bree kicks around her feet on the floor for a moment as she looks down at the ground.

< I watch my best friend Donnie do great things like the Rookie X Cup. He killed it dere. He's been killing it here in LDFC lately too. I just start wonderin' ta myself, am I givin' it my all? Or am I just not cut out for dis? >

Bree pulled her phone from her pocket and checked for any new notifications.

< I called muh best belle from the bayou, Penny, da other day. I told her dat same ting right dere. You know what she said ta me. She said all she ever heard about was how great I was doin'. Dat word round Louisiana was always about how I was getting big wins against people like Hana Song and Crimson Baroness. Sure dey knew about muh losses. But they also knew about my wins! >

Bree gave a playful shrug to the camera.

< I have lost sight of da prize recently. I was so focused on da dubyas and els next to my name dat I didn't realize that I had been fighting really well just as I always have been since I joined LDFC. So instead of worrying about the winning, I realized dat dere's somethin' much more important to me. Dats rising to da occasion, when da occasion calls for it. >

Bree pulls out a piece of paper from her back pocket. She slowly unfolds it til a picture of Keegan Hightower is shown. She turns to her living room wall before putting a pushpin in the picture so that it's hanging in the background of her video.

< Keegan Hightower just so happens ta be da newest hurdle in da young career of LDFC's Belle of the Bayou. He's touting all kinds of sass about his record being undefeated. And ta be honest, it's a pretty big achievement. But I also started off 5-0 in LDFC. Things have evened out since den as dey always tend ta do. If Keegan thinks dat this undefeated business is da end all be all here in LDFC, he'll fall from a much greater height dan he needs ta. You are a competitor Keegan, no doubt. Even if ya did what ya did ta muh friend Jensen. I want you ta know that losing won't be da end of Keegan Hightower. >

Bree takes a big breath.

< You're startin' ta find your meaning in your record right now. And even if it's not me dat does it. Somebodie's gonna beat you. Dat's da way things go in wrestlin'. I don't want ya to start gettin' too far ahead of yer self Keegan. So when Episode 2 comes around. I'm gonna come out to da ring and rise to da occasion as I know I can. And I'm gonna do da favor of giving you dat first loss so you can move on with it and not have to focus on that record so much. Why? Cause I'm just a nice girl like that. See you soon Keegan. > 

Bree smiles at the camera and winks before she waves goodbye and reaches forward turning off the camera. Bree nods at the screen seeing her video is finished and hits send on the video and it uploads to the LDFC site.
