Valentine's Day

[Colt Crawford]

February 14th, 2010
Lexington, Kentucky

Valentine’s Day is a day meant for lovers, or another Hallmark holiday if you are a guy. It is a day for the likes of Thomas Lugar and Justin York to spend quality time in each other arms watching the sunrise and the sunset. A time for Saber and the alley cat to get used to each other’s scents and different rubs. A time for all the corny men to shine and all the love struck woman to bath in all the attention they get. Then there is Valentine’s Day for Colt and Britney, two far from normal individuals who spend this day in the only possible way they know how.

Britney: Now at least I can see why you haven’t won a match in months.

Colt: I thought we agreed no trash talking or it was going to be embarrassment time.

Britney: You could attempt to do what you want, but in just a few minutes I will expose every little weakness you have and expose you as the waste of space that everyone else has known you are.

Colt: Just shut up and spin the damn wheel.

Britney leans over and spins the wheel, in which the arrow lands on right hand red. Britney easily moves her right hand from under Colt’s head and places it on the spot; unfortunately the same cannot be said for Colt. As he leans over Britney to try and reach for the red spot his left leg begins to slip and finally he loses he balance and collapse, right on top of Britney.

Britney: You ogre, get off.

Colt: Give me a few more minutes and we can see what happens.

Colt rolls off of Britney and leans against the couch, Britney jumps up in triumph and laughs in Colt’s face only to be dragged down to the floor.

Britney: Another loss for you. Chalk it up to the already long laundry list of people who have triumphed over you.

Colt: You know how to add salt into the wound of a batter man don’t you?

Britney: That is what I am here for, besides if I didn’t do it to you someone else would in their promos later this week.

Colt: I guess your ri….

Britney: Then again at this very moment you don’t seem to be a worry in anyone’s mind, hell you aren’t even a minor blimp on the TWD roster at the moment.

Colt: I may not be much of a blimp at the moment, but I made more than a small impact last week with your boy Lugar.

Britney: Far from my boy, in case you don’t recall. I warned Lugar to stay out of your way, our way. He insisted on putting his nose where it didn’t belong.

Colt: And I made sure he wouldn’t be able to do that ever again. It seems to be a trend lately, your ex boyfriends come around and I dispose of them gracefully.

Britney: Again far from anything we could call an ex-boyfriend. Actually it was more of a boyfriend of an ex-boyfriend, but you get the point. And yes you did send a message to Mr. Lugar, but it seems that his boyfriend will get the first crack at revenge in his honor.

Colt: And you expect me to be afraid of him. He goes right along with Lugar and all the misfits and he will simply be the next person to cross my path and regret it.

Britney: Just like Krenshaw was, and Saber before him, not to mention Filipe before that.

Colt: You have a point Britney?

Britney: My point is you are now officially slumping, in case you didn’t think that you were before last week. Sure you have lost to competitors that are looking like solid figured in the World Title picture for a long time, but you still lost. By doing all the losing, you have basically knocked yourself down out of that picture, the one picture that you have wanted to be in from the beginning.

Colt: You act like I have meant to loss all those matches…

Britney: I am not saying that, but what I am saying is it is time to refocus your attention. First thing that you need to do is set your sight away from the World Title.

Colt: I will get that World…

Britney: I know that one day you will be TWD World Champion, hell I have no question that it is in the cards for you to be a multi time world champion, but that time is not at the moment. If it happens over the next couple of months because of some gimmick match or an opportunity that the Moderators give you then great, but no more obsessing over it.

Colt: Obsessing over it? You honestly…

Britney: I do and you cannot deny that fact. But that was then and this is now, right now you need to focus on defeating York and making another statement to Lugar, who I am more than positive will be looking to extract some revenge on you for what happened last week.

Colt: That is if he is even able to show up for the event.

Britney: Crutches, wheelchair, or stretcher it doesn’t matter how he has to get there, he will be there looking for payback. Not to mention he is scheduled for a match with Morningstar.

Colt: That is one creepy guy, but at least he rid the TWD of that boring fundamental Kersh.

Britney: Yes he did, but do me a favor and let’s not talk about Morningstar, he gives me more than just a few chills. Every time I see him staring at me I just wait for my arms and head to start leaking black ooze.

Colt: If I recall history correctly, hasn’t that already been done in wrestling. Papa something or another was his name I believe. I will admit it was scary and intimidating back then, but I don’t believe that any one is capable of pulling that off again.

Britney: Either way, that is not for us to worry about, at least not at the moment. Right now our focus is on York and making sure that Lugar doesn’t get the one up on us this week. And while you are focusing on all of that, I have a little bit of business I need to take care of, something that will finally come to head next week on Showdown.

Colt: Some part of this plan I actually get to witness, well it is about damn time, I was beginning to think you were making this whole plan bullshit up.

Britney: I don’t make things up just for your humor, granted I tend to run on the fly a lot, but I never make it up. I had a start point and I know where I want it to end, everything in between is still up to debate and we will just have to see how it plays out. All you need to worry about is knowing that it will take you to the top of the TWD Mountain.

Colt: Anything that ends with me there is never a bad thing. As much as I would love to spend the rest of this day sitting here talking about the future, the present time is wasting and I have a match I need to prepare for.

Colt gets up after a quick embrace to Britney and heads out of the room. Britney looks at her phone and notices a message. As she opens it up a smirks comes across her face as she springs to her feet.

Britney: The game is officially starting now. Tomas I warned you to keep your nose out of Colt and my business, and instead you made your presence felt in Colt’s match. And afterwards Colt made sure that you thought two or three times before you do it again. Colt’s wrestling has been on a slump lately, we can all see that. But one thing that doesn’t ever go on a slump is his ability to physically assault and dominate a man, such as he did to you.

I know you wounds will heal, and you will lick them dry, but if you are contemplating retaliation I highly suggest you rethink that. What Colt did to you at Showdown was a taste of what he is capable of doing if he wants to. His mind will be occupied on his match, but sitting in the back will be every move you make and he will be ready to make another move if he needs to.

Irony must be what fuels the Moderators each and every week. This week after the attack instead of simply throwing Lugar at Colt, they serve up Lugar’s best friend. York, you are an innocent by standard in all of this, but you will be a casualty none the less. Your unity with Lugar is respectable, but it is also the downfall for you. I can see it in your eyes, as much as you are enjoying being back your mind is not 100% on the ring. You are still trying to piece together a puzzle, the puzzle of your life.

Do me a favor York, keep searching. Find all of the answers you need in order to complete your life, then come step into the ring. Because if your not all there I can only promise that you will be further confused when the match is over. Hear my warning if you are smart, if not then I will host no pity on you.

Britney grabs her jacket and car keys and heads for the door, but not before checking on Colt.
