Cameras : ON
Ciela twirled the locket between her fingers. She looked down at it as Makayla sighed.
”Ci, you need to stop dwelling on this. Auntie Estrella will one day come around. Until then, we need to get our heads straight. I pinned Chef Andre at EXP 12 but that wasn’t enough. The next event is Devil May Cry and it is our opportunity. Our chance to get back in the win column once more. Another opportunity to get our hands on Ahmya and Bert McAlroy.”
Ciela seemed uninterested. All she wanted to do was look at the locket.
”CI!”
Makayla snapped at her friend as Ciela’s head looked up. She looked shocked.
”Huh? Oh yeah. Bert and Ahmya. We need to make sure we win this match at Devil May Cry. We are the only team that can make sure Bert and Ahmya are dethroned. They don’t want to see us again. We almost got them last time. They can’t get lucky again. They can’t keep us away from the titles that are rightfully ours.”
A commercial for Devil May Cry came on the television. The announcer can be heard.
”In a Multiplayer Championship number one contendership match, The Time Jumpers do battle with Al Fresco. Which team will take on Bert McAlroy and Ahmya at EXP 13?!”
Makayla clicked the tv off. She shook her head in frustration.
”What makes anyone think Al Fresco is anything special? They defeated the Faction? That is their claim to fame? What happened when you stepped into the ring with Jenny and SuMa? You got flambéed. You got so overcooked that you were trashed. Then, on EXP 12, you stepped into the ring with me and Ciela as well as Larry Tact and, as expected, you lost again. You seem to be ok with losing. You seem to be here for all the wrong reasons. This business is a passion to me and Ciela. This business is in our blood. It is a family business for us both. We are here, in this time, to show what wrestling is all about. We are not here for catering or for fancy wines. We are here to crush the competition to a pulp. We are here to end the lives and careers of our opponents and you saw a glimpse of that at EXP 12. You haven’t seen us at our best yet and you better damn well hope and pray that you don’t have to catch our wraths at Devil May Cry.”
Ciela nodded her head in agreement with her tag partner.
”The thing about Dionysus is he simply isn’t anything special. He is a simple man who tries to give off the representation of being important. You remind me a lot of Steve Wozniak. He only became important in the event of the death of Steve Jobs. Mr. Jobs was the brains and the face of the company and Wozniak took over like anyone knew who the hell he was. You come from a long line of douchy men if I were to take a guess. You are someone who simply can’t become that which you claim to be. You like to put on airs. You think you are better than everyone but you prove it never. You will never be better than us Dionysus and that pisses you off. That makes you angry. Almost angry enough to beat us but you won’t be able to.”
Mikayla stood up and stretched a bit. She laughed as she spoke again, losing all reservations she once had.
”You know, Chef Andre is another person who has a false sense of entitlement. He thinks his cooking skills will help him inside the ring and, quite frankly, there is no fucking correlation. There is nothing that says cooking will help you in a wrestling match. I am sick and damn tired of all these lazy gimmicks of this time. People try to say WE are a gimmick when we are true to ourselves. We are who we are. Guys like Al Fresco make a mockery of this business. I mean, Bert McAlroy is a shitty drug addict but at least he keeps it real. What makes you all think this little team you have put together has ANY real chance of getting you love and admiration? What makes you think that ANYONE wants to see two old dudes in chef coats who talk in proper english when they can see two scantily clad time traveling hot women? Here is the thing, we don’t flaunt our assets for the cameras or social media like some people do. We don’t put thot pictures on social media trying to be on the next Denzel Porter Too Hot to Thot list. We simply be ourselves. We stay true to us and that is what makes us happy. That is what people need in this business, realism.
In a business that is mocked more than revered someone needs to keep some sense of sanity and it sure as hell isn’t you two. Just like it sure isn’t you that will go on to EXP 13 and the Multiplayer Title match.”
Ciela laughed as she jumped up and down.
”Kay, here is the thing. These guys are looking for validation and when we don’t give it to them, they will throw a tantrum so big it will make it all worth beating them in our first match against them without a third partner.
Al Fresco, this is your one chance. Your one opportunity to get into the conversation for the Multiplayer Championships and, quite frankly, you aren’t man enough to hold onto it. You are destined to fall like the rest. You are destined to fail in the past so that people like us can succeed in the future. You are destined to fall to the Time Jumpers. We can’t win every match but we damn well can’t lose to you either.”
Mikayla looked out the window at the crowds below.
”All of those people in the streets below have no idea what their future’s hold. Las Vegas goes through spurts of booming economy and spurts of downright depression. You have to have depression in order to get to a recession, in order to get to a boom period. You must learn to crawl before you learn to walk. You must learn to take a loss before you realize what a win truly means. I don’t think either of you understand that. You are both the kind of people who think you can ALWAYS win. You are the kind of people who will doom us all in the end.
At Devil May Cry, Ciela and I will do our parts to try and keep you all from being able to spread your teachings of perfection. We will make sure that the next generation know that it is not the loss that matters but how you bounce back from the loss. We have bounced back from our loss to Bert and Ahmya. We have answered the challenge and made it back to being just one win away from our chance to right the wrong. Our chance to capture what should have already been ours. It is our time to shine and we will be damned if we allow you two to put a damper on that. If we lose to you, we need to just give up in our conquest efforts of this time period.”
The two girls met face to face. They smirked as both shook their heads and then looked at the camera.
”Did you think we were going to kiss? I love this girl but she is family and this isn’t Alabama.”
The Time Jumpers giggle as the scene faded to black.
Scene 2
Future Meets Present
Cameras : OFF
Ciela Luiz breathed in and out as she hid out of the way. She closed her eyes as she could hear the voices around her.
”Come on. She went this way!”
In and out her breaths went as she hoped they wouldn’t find her. These officers were time officers here from 2039 from Nasa, specifically the office of the Inspector General. She was so scared that she may be caught and her time in this period will be over. She was unsure what would happen to her in her time if she were caught but she was determined to not find out. She ducked down and had a seat beside a dumpster. She let out a sigh of relief. Before she could think any thoughts she felt a hand around her throat. She opened her eyes, unable to breathe as she stared into the dark green eyes of the officer in front of her. The officer in front of her spoke into his radio.
”Fugitive apprehended. Meeting at the rendezvous spot in fourty.”
The officer cuffed Luiz and tossed her into the back of a paddywagon. Just like those who come to different times for a trip, the Inspector General’s officers had to lay low. Ciela’s breath got heavy and sporadic as she passed out from the panic.
When she awoke she was in a chair and sitting across from her was the informant from the inspector general’s office of her time, the same informant who had been questioning her mother in 2039. Ciela struggled trying to free herself from the chair but had no luck.
”Save it Miss Luiz, those chains are not going to let you free. Even if you were to get free, where are you going to go? You are a rough one to get ahold of ya know. We have been trying. Good thing for you that your mother loves you a lot. She wouldn’t crack and even tried to lie for you. We… handled her.”
Ciela’s face twisted to one of anger.
”What in the hell did you do to my mother? If you so much as pluck a hair from her head, I will have your job. Hell, I will hunt you down in 2039 and kill you myself.”
The informant laughed lightly.
”Idle threats aren’t too bright of you, Miss Luiz. You are in NO position to be making those kinds of threats. I don’t want to hurt you nor your mother. I simply want to know why you are going against the contract you signed with us. I want to know why you have done what you did. Tell us what we want to know and we can make it all better for you.”
Ciela smirked as she shook her head.
”What in the hell are you talking about?”
The informant pounded his closed fist on the table causing it to rattle. Ciela flinched a bit.
”You know damn well what I mean. You came to 2021 and instantly joined Twitter. You instantly tried to interact with Estrella from this time. You and Miss Vayden joined wrestling companies in hopes of making a name for yourself. Do you not understand the magnitude of problems you have brought on yourself, your family, your fans? Do you understand how you may have set OUR time travel expertise back with your little stunt? You are a smart girl. I trust you will do the right thing and come back with me.”
Ciela smirked evilly. She raised an eyebrow at him and spoke softly and matter of factly.
”And what if I refuse?”
The man laughed lightly but with a dickish tone.
”If you refuse, everyone you love will be heartbroken because you will be stuck in this time and not able to go back to your own. You are playing with fire Miss Luiz.You need to do what is right. If you care about your dear old mother.”
That was enough to set Ciela off.
”My fucking mother has nothing to do with this. This was all me. You need to respect her. She was both parents for me.”
The man shot her a glare.
”Since you want to play like this, you need to prepare to say goodbye.”
With that Ciela’s mother, Estrella, was placed in the seat across from her. Ciela teared up a bit as Estrella looked on with confidence.
”My daughter, do not cry, do not fret. You have all the tools you need to fight this. In the mean time, give this to 2021 me. I will know what to do with it.”
Ciela hugged Estrella tightly.
”Mama, I don’t want to go. I need you.”
Estrella broke the embrace and kissed her daughter on the forehead.
”You will have me when the time is right, mi corazon. Now go and change the world for the better.”
With that Estrella was led away as the cuffs on Ciela were unlocked. Just like that she was released and on her own. She had to go find Estrella, the 2021 version, and quickly.
