9:00AM
April's house
Off Camera
 
*April Starr wakes up to the sound of her phone ringing. She reaches over and grabs her phone, then flips it open. She puts the phone to her ear and pushes herself up*
April Starr: Hello?
Emmett Hale: April?
April Starr: Emmett?
Emmett Hale: Hey... I have to talk to you..
April Starr: About?
Emmett Hale: Alyson is missing... and David came and got Christopher from me.. I think he has her.
April Starr: WHAT??
Emmett Hale: I've been trying to get ahold of her all day.. and shes not answering her phone...
April Starr: Okay, Emmett, I'll find her. Don't worry too much...
2:00PM
PWE Arena
Off Camera
 
*April Starr walks down the hall, playing with her nails. After receiving the news about her sister she keeps chewing on her lip and pushing her hair back behind her ear. She turns the corner and bumps into someone.*
April Starr: God damnit why can't you peop....
*She looks up and sees James Michaels*
April Starr: Oh.. Sorry..
James Michaels: Its ok I guess, no harm done. Wait...April Starr, right?
April Starr: Right.. And you're... James Michaels... right?
*James Michaels studies her moment before sitting down his black dufflebag. Dressed in his usual black tank top and black Jeans, casual as he ever got.*
James Michaels: That's me.
*April's cell rings and she picks it up*
April Starr: Hello? ..... NO!! How many times do I have to tell you people!! I dont wanna do shows I dont wanna do interviews!! I dont wanna make phone calls!! I want to find my sister!!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!
*April Snaps her phone shut and leans her head back against the wall closing her eyes*
James Michaels: Is everything alright?
April Starr: Oh yeah.. just freaking peachy... I have no freaking clue where Alyson is.. just that shes stuck witbthat asshole David Cage.. I have people bugging me to perform and do interviews and I just.. I can get a minute to myself... But other than that yeah I'm fucking great!!
*She looks over at Michaels and takes a deep breath*
April Starr: ...Sorry
James Michaels: It's ok. I didn't realize that David Cage had your sister. I saw his name on the card but I don't know him personally. Is anyone do anything to get her back from him?
April Starr: I'm trying.. But I have no idea where they are at this point...I'm just gonna have to murder him in this match I guess
James Michaels: Murder doesn't really help literally. But some good old fashioned torture may be in order. I understand how you feel though. My sister vanished many years ago. She was my only real family. I don't know why I am telling you this.
April Starr: Really? Alyson is my only family too... Looks like we're kinda in the same boat here huh?
James Michaels: Yeah sounds like it. My older sister took care of me more than my real family. Even pulled me out of a foster home as soon as she was 18. Got a full time job and everything to get me out of that hell. Then she just vanished....
April Starr: Wow.. Sounds like Aly... I'm so sorry.. Do you wanna... Go get a drink across the street?
*Michaels thinks on it a moment, possibly deciding if whatever he was about to do could wait or not*
James Michaels: Yeah, why not? I am sure we both could use one?
April Starr: Definitly..
*The 2 walk out of the arena and across the street to the bar. April sits at the bar and orders a captain and sour, then looks at michaels. Michaels orders a beer and takes a seat beside her, looking forward in thought*
April Starr: You knew Robert too huh?
James Michaels: We started out as enemies but after talking with the guy backstage on and off I realized it was all just part of the game. He ended up being the closest thing I'd call having a friend in the business. Haven't saw him in ages though. How about you? I know you two was an item for a bit....
April Starr: Yeah.. For a bit... But... shit happens...
James Michaels: By that I assume you mean him totally vanishing. I was kind of hoping that when we reopened with Pwe, he would return. His name was on the first card and everything. They wouldn't have booked him unless he was ok, but yet he was mysteriously striken off the show.
April Starr: Yeah but.. that's Rob for you i guess... he does shit like that lot... But.. I'm over it.. who needs him anyway
James Michaels: Well I guess that's one way of looking at it. I am sorry about bringing up your relationship with him. I'd imagine it must be a bit of a sore spot.
April Starr: It can be..but.. like i said... im over it. Nothing to worry about. Hes just a guy. Atleast you didn't bring up Tyler
James Michaels: And I won't for your sake. So why is Alyson teaming with David anyways? Is she doing it to try and get information?
April Starr: From what I know... IT has something to do with Madison and christopher
James Michaels: I admit, I don't know many people around here very well. Hell we wrestled in the same company for months last year and I don't even remember speaking to you once. So you have to excuse me if I ask a dumb question.
April Starr: Christopher is David and Alyson's son... And Madison is David;s cousin
James Michaels: Ah. I got ya now. I wish I knew of some way to help you. I know exactly how you may feel.
April Starr: Yeah well.. I mean.. she can take are fof herself.. And christopher.. and MAdison... I'm just.. worried you know?
James Michaels: Yeah, well maybe after the match something will develop. If not you could always get your partner to lock in a painfull submission until he gives up some info.
April Starr: I won;t have to convince him to... After all MAdison is his little girlfriend
James Michaels: That helps, especially if there is love involved. They say people will do crazy things for love. I don't know if that's true myself, but I am sure you've heard it
April Starr: They sure do.. Like.. Trust them... You've never been in love?
James Michaels: No, have you?
April Starr: Twice... both times here... Believe me.. you're better off
James Michaels: Twice? I've only been in two real relationships so for me that's a big number. I felt strongly about my first girlfriend, but for the most part it seemed more of that of a friendship.
April Starr: Like I said... You're better off... People say its the best thing in the world but.. its not
James Michaels: I'd say your right. Last one gave me nothing but trouble. It seems fitting I guess that we are in a bar talking about relationship problems. *looks around the room* I bet everyone in here has something similar maybe
April Starr: Most likely... So we've been around the same company for a long time.. and the first conversation we have.. is like this
James Michaels: It's wierd too. I normally don't mingle with the other wrestlers. Actually it seems like hardly anyone wants to mingle with me. I thought maybe I was too damn depressing for them or something.
April Starr: You are.. But so am I... Which is why I guess we're getting along
James Michaels: It seems like the first in a long time. A friend in Pwe? *laughs* That's assuming a lot I suppose.
April Starr: Is it? Whys that?
James Michaels: What kind of person would I be to assume that every pretty girl that talks to me wants to be my friend?
April Starr: Pretty?
James Michaels: I'm sorry, I am not good at handing out compliments. I will take it back if its offensive. The last girlfriend of mine pushed me to speak my mind more often, its a hard habit to shake.
April Starr: Relax... I'm joking
James Michaels: Well I hope you get this kidnapping straightened out soon. if you need any help, I will do what I can. Though I think after this match, Trevin may take care of Cage for you. He seems a pretty tough guy
April Starr: Trevin is... Scary.. acutally I'm glad hes on my side but.. facing Alyson... I can;t.. i dont want to..
James Michaels: You don't want to have to fight her. I can imagine what you feel. I wouldn't want to face my sister. Thing is though, I am sure she feels the same. So if you end up in the match together, maybe you two can work out a plan
April Starr: Yeah.. probably... I just... I don;t know.. Its tough
James Michaels: Well I hope you work something out. I can understand not wanting to strike her, but you have to focus on whats the most important above all else
April Starr: In the ring.. the most important thing is winning... And I know that.. and so does she
James Michaels: So then you know what you have to do. Worse case scenario, if you don't wanna face each other, couldn't you just tag out? Surely she would do the same.
April Starr: Hey... You're right.. We can.. Thanks..
James Michaels: Anything for a friend I suppose. Again, I am still surprised how similar our past is.
April Starr: ME too.. I mean.. hey maybe it wasn't coincidencce i ran into you.. who knows
James Michaels: Maybe if you believe in fate I suppose.Like I said, normally I don't mingle with people. I think it's hard to talk with some people, but it's not been bad with you. So maybe it wont be so bad to have someone to say hi to other than the camera crew
April Starr: And maybe it'll be nice to have someone besides my crew, band, interviewers and paparazzi to talk to...
James Michaels: Your a busy girl. A sucessful band and professional wrestler. As for paparazzi, you can have them
April Starr: Trust me I don't want them.. Let them go bother Britney I'm perfectly fine
James Michaels: Way I understand it, only way you are going to get rid of them is to disappear. They attack stars no matter what. Britney proved that to the world when she shaved her head
April Starr: Sometimes I think that's not a bad idea.. dissappearing
James Michaels: Guess you could buy a cabin in the middle of nowhere and stock it up with food so you only have to go out once every blue moon, but wouldn't that life be boring?
April Starr: Hey.. a life with noone bothering me.. ever.. doesnlt sound too bad actually
James Michaels: I've lived a sort of hermit life. Before returning to wrestling I lived in a small town where wrestling apparently wasn't very big, cause I was rarely bothered. It wasn't bad I guess. I missed the ring a lot though and I knew I had a lot of unfinished business.
April Starr: Yeah... being away from the ring is tough... I honestly dont know what i'd do without wrestling...
James Michaels: I didn't know you loved wrestling more. I kinda figured you was more into music. Guess that explains why you are still here though.
*Michaels finishes his beer and sets it down.*
James Michaels: better not order another one, its still pretty early.
April Starr: Yeah.. Shit.. I have to go.. I totally forgot i have a show tonight.. Its.. rigth around he corner.. 8 oclock.. if you wanna come..
James Michaels: I may pop in.
April Starr: I'll see you around then.. It was nice.. our talk
James Michaels: I enjoyed it too. You know where to find me if you need me.Good luck in your match.
April Starr: Thanks.. See you later..
*April smiles and rushes out of the bar*
8:00PM
Local Club
On Camera
*April stands on the stage of a local club, counting down the final seconds till her show starts. She finally looks up as the curtain parts and her band starts playing "Too Much To Ask"*
April Starr:
Its the first time I ever felt this lonely
I wish someone would cure this pain
Its funny when you think its gonna work out
Till you chose weed over me you're so lame
I thought you were cool until the point
Up until the point you didn't call me when you said you would
I finally figured out you're all the same
Always comin up with some kind of story
Everytime I try to make you smile
You always feelin sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't, you're too tough
You think you're loveless
Was that too much that I asked you for?
Thought you'd come around around when I ignored you
Sorta thought you'd ave the decensy to change
Well babe I guess you didn't take that warning
Cause I'm not about
To look at your face again
Can't you see that you lie yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I
I'm still here
But Everytime I try to make you smile
You always go and feel sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You stand like a stone
Alone in your zone
Was that too much that I'm askin for
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
can't find where I am
Lying here alone in fear
Afraid of the dark
Noone to claim
Alone again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't you see that you lie yourself
You can't see the world through a mirror
It won't be too late when the smoke clears
Cause I
I'm still here
Everytime I try to make you smile
You always feelin sorry for yourself
Everytime I try to make you laugh
You can't, you're too tough
You think you're loveless
It was too much that I asked him for
*April smiles as the people in the club cheer for her. She takes a deep breath, trying to, for now, push thoughts of Alyson to the back of her mind, but the match is at the front of it. She grabs the mic off the stand and smirks*
April Starr: I'm gonna make this short and sweet... my match coming up for PWE... is in the bag... first of all.. Mickey Madness and Legion?? Legion I can see being competition.. but Mickey.. sweetheart you're just a rookie loser who wants so badly to be one of us you tried bailing the boss out of jail.. but guess who actually did it.. me.. But.. that's okay, when I beat you down... you'll see you don't belong... and then theres Alyson and David.. now.. I know for a fact Alyson will wanna do no harm to me so David.. prepare to fight this one on your own... and lose.. Bullying and kidnapping gets you nowhere.. remember that... i'll see all of you in the ring.
*April smirks again and gets ready to do her next song*
