*Wilde Violence are backstage.*
Tell me this is over Hamada. This week, this week we deal with Daffney and Tara, we put them in our past, and we move on from there, right?
I don't see why not. It's obvious that I was worried over nothing.
It's just... for whatever reason, Alex couldn't be there for you right away when you went crazy. He wasn't the one who had to keep you in check, to make sure you were constantly okay day in and day out. It was me who had to make sure you were okay every night before you went to sleep. I was the one who had to cool you down if you so much as heard the name "Daffney". And to see that you could potentially go down the same road once again, I couldn't let that happen. I had to do whatever it took to prevent that, even reaching out to a hesitant Tara to come back and deal with Daffney.
Anyway, there's nothing to worry about. Daffney's already made it clear that Tara is occupying her time now, so we're free. We just need to get past this last barrier, defeat Daffney and Tara one more time, and we move on.
You know, Thunder & Lightning are practically ripped apart at the seams. Airhead Lacey is busy worshiping the pirate hooker Angelina and taking her beatings. Really, it's hardly going to be a challenge taking care of the Knockouts Division. All it takes it the right combination of smarts and power, and we got that in spades.
Indeed. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go.
Go? More training with Royce?
No. Chris has asked me out again, so I'm going to try and pry information about the date out of him. Apparently you and Alex had something to do with this?
I have no idea what you're talking about. And besides, you said that you liked-
The date! Yes, the date. It was.... unique.
*Hamada begins blushing as Taylor laughs.*
Well, just take it easy on the kid.
What do you mean?
Knowing Chris, you'll find out soon enough.
*Taylor laughs as Hamada walks off, shaking her head. Taylor enters the locker room where the first thing she sees is Daffney is reclining in a chair with her feet up, obviously waiting for her*
Hi!
Wh-what are you doing here?
I think we need to talk. No Hamada, no Tara. Just you and me. We have a lot to discuss you know.
Fine, let's talk.
*Taylor sets up a folding chair before sitting down.*
Let's get straight to the point, shall we?
June 13th, 2009. Do you remember that day? I do. That was the day we first crossed paths. The day I discovered you. Ever since then you and I have been linked.
You interested me because there was nobody else like you. You weren't obsessed with the pointless pursuit of their own vanity like the Beautiful People. You weren't an amoral wrecking machine like Kong. You just were. You see out of everyone here, everyone who has come and gone, you were pure. Or you pretended to be. See I could see your true self, buried deep down. And I intended to help you awaken that part of yourself. I just never anticipated what I uncover when I dislodged your mask.
You see out of everyone who has been, every woman who has come and gone from WCTNA, you are unique. You understand. You get it. In a lot of ways...you are me.
I'm you? You made me believe that my boyfriend cheated on me just to gain a psychological edge in a match, you've made So Cal Val and Lauren quit, you took out Alissa Flash just to prove that you could, and I'm like you? No. I don't think so.
I admit, I lost a bit of myself during my war with you, and maybe I took it too far with Chelsea a few months ago. But you and I being the same person? You're gonna have to explain that one to me Daff.
So naive. I remember when I was like that. It seems so long ago. A whole other lifetime in fact.
Well then, enlighten me. How did you stop being "naive"? What made you, you?
*Daffney sighs, leans back in the chair and closes her eyes*
My parents weren't a happy couple. They would fight all the time. And then they'd take it out on me. I was trapped. Nobody cared. The schools, the people around town. None of them noticed. My only solace was my best friend. It was just the two of us. Shannon and Jeannie. We were as close as sisters. That's what drew me to you. You remind me of her.
*Daffney smile wistfully. Then her expression darkens.*
And then one day Jeannie wasn't there anymore. She was my only comfort. The only spot of light in eternal darkness. And the world say fit to take her from me. I came to a realisation. Humans are savage in nature. Civilization can never be more than an idea. All people do is hurt each other. So I embraced that concept. On that day, Shannon died. And Daffney was born. So I realised then the world was cold, harsh and uncaring. So that's exactly what I became. Until I met you. You were Shannon. Then I remade you. I molded you into Daffney. I did what I couldn't do for Jeannie. I...saved you.
*Taylor starts laughing.*
You saved me? I spent MONTHS in fear because of what you did! I almost lost a good man in Alex because you let me believe that he cheated on me! And all this was because I remind you of when you were young? Before you became "Daffney"?
No, no it's not that simple with you Daffney, it never is. You didn't go after me just because I remind you of your friend or you when you were younger. You didn't do it out of some misguided attempt to "save me". You did it because you get your kicks out of seeing others suffer. You drove Tara and Alissa out of this company, you almost drove me to permanent insanity, all because you could. Not because you wanted to save me.
So, nice attempt at lying right to my face, but you forgot one little thing Daffney. You told practically the same story to Alex last year, and we all know that was a ruse just to get inside my head. All you do is lie lie lie, and it's gotten to the point where I honestly believe you think it's truth. But because I know you better than all those countless shrinks you've no doubt been forced to see, and I'm not buying it for a second. So if that's all you got, then I think we're done here. See you in the ring Daff.
*Taylor gets up from the chair and heads toward the door.*
I have never lied to you Taylor. Never. So you can trust me when I say I was wrong about you.
*Taylor stops in front of the door before turning around to face Daffney.*
What did you say?
*Daffney stands up*
I said I was wrong. You see I always thought you hide the other side of yourself away. Like you were ashamed of it. But now I realise it isn't like that at all. There was no line. There was no Shannon and Daffney. There was only Taylor. You are both Shannon and Daffney. Don't you see?
*Daffney backs Taylor against the wall*
Everything blends together. Love and hate. Pleasure...
*Daffney strokes Taylor's cheek*
And pain.
*Daffney grabs Taylor round the throat with her other hand*
Tell me, Taylor, would you ever say to me "Stop, if you loved me you'd stop"?
*Taylor looks Daffney in the eyes.*
I've never had a reason to.
Wait, are you saying you love me?
*Daffney lets go of Taylor*
Ever since I can remember I have had a hole inside me. An empty space. Nothing I have tried has filled that hole. Until I met you. Nobody has made me feel the way you do. Not since Jeannie. Don't you see? You...complete me.
*Taylor looks at Daffney with a shocked look.*
I.... I don't really know what to say Daff. This is.... wow.
I know what you can say. Just answer me one thing. Just one little question. When was the last time you were happy?
Winning the Knockout Title-
Lie!
Winning the Knockout Tag Team Titles-
Lie!
Being with Alex-
LIE!
*Daffney slams Taylor back into the wall*
Think...very carefully...about this one. Because if you lie, I'll see it in your eyes. Now when...was the last time you were happy?
....... Knocked Out. February. When we had our final match.
Now tell me, why was that?
Because.... because..... it was you.... and me....
Go on...
It was our final match, at least that's what we both thought. And because we would never have another chance to wrestle one another... there was no holding back. There was no cares. We left it all in the ring, we didn't pull any punches... it was beautiful...
You know when I was happiest? No Surrender. You and me. Because it was then I realised what you mean to me. I realised that I need you. Without you it hurts. It physically hurts. I ache for you. But the question is do you feel the same? Could you daily feel a stab of hunger for me and find nourishment in the very sight of me, like I do for you? Could you see through the bars of my plight and ache for me?
*Taylor looks at the ground.*
I..... I don't know.....
You see it seems to me you're at a crossroads. There are two different paths for you to choose from. There are two ways that you could go.
One way, is the way you're going now. You stay sweet innocent Taylor. For all the good that does you. You keep smiling when you don't mean it and laughing when you're supposed to and everything works out relatively well for you. You marry someone nice like Alex, you pop out five or six little brats, and get old and ugly and eventually die having lived in your sad, safe little box your whole life and never even guessed what real freedom was like.
There's another path for you, though, if you decide to take it. The other way, Taylor, is that you look around. You see that life has failed you. And, for once in your miserable existence, you decide to get some payback. You give this world what it deserves. You hurt it just as much as it hurt you.
I.... I need to think about this. Give me some time to think about this...
Call me when you make your mind up.
*Daffney releases her grip on Taylor and exits the lockerroom. Taylor looks at the door for a few seconds before softly sighing.*
....... s***.
