Distractions Pt. One

[Shelley Silver]

Scene… The only scene here… ON Camera 

February 24th, 2016 

Shelley’s house in Burien, WA 

Last minute shoot. 

Shelley sat in her video game room, getting lost in Hyrule Warriors. A camera’s view is shown of someone walking toward her and sitting down next to her on the couch. After the person settles in, the voice of Sloane Cameron can be heard from behind the camera.

Sloane: Hey, it’s bad enough that you still haven’t said anything about your match against Emevlas Stastias for a chance to get the United States title back at Hardcore Revolution this Sunday, but you have that triple threat match against Kurt Newman and Olivia on Saturday.

Shelley blinked, still playing her game.

Shelley: That’s this weekend? I thought that President Mac had made sure that none of the events would coincide with one another.

Sloane: Apparently, that was just for FSW. Stardom is on Saturday, and Hardcore Revolution is on Sunday. Can you talk and play at the same time?

Shelley nodded.

Shelley: Just give me a little interview.

Sloane: Alright, let’s start with Olivia. At Global Takeover, you had teamed with her against Nonagon, but now you are up a chance to become number one contender for the Global Championship.

Shelley: Why is that, again? Liv and I are junior heavyweights, and I am fairly sure that Kurt is, as well. I know that I am kind of with Flip now, but I am more interested in that title.

Sloane: Tara Davidson is the Fighting Junior Heavyweight champion now, Shel.

Shelley blinked, tilting her head.

Shelley: Really? When did that happen?

Sloane: Global Takeover. It was a busy weekend for you. I’m just surprised that you blocked Flip’s match from your memory.

Shelley: I don’t even remember making it to London that weekend. At the same time, I was in a match myself, and I was on the winning side. Granted, I do take the credit for that. I assured that we had the win, and I allowed Olivia to get the pin and the glory, but I am sure that even she knows that we won because of me.

Shelley paused, chuckling and wetting her lips.

Shelley: This ain’t about that, though. You see, Miss Olivia, I could start out letting you know how much I dislike your brother and your boyfriend. I could go on about how I stopped believing in Project: CHAOS months ago. But I won’t. This isn’t about Mark Storm, or Gabreal Martin, or even Michael Saint.

No Olivia, this is about you. This is about the girl who still clings onto the fact that she is just a rookie, and that her experience is minimal. Newsflash, Olivia! My professional wrestling career only started a few months before yours. I made my debut in an EWC ring in 2015, just like you did. Only I have already held a major title, and I am about to get a chance to hold it again on Sunday. But no, Olivia, you keep that schtick up. Maybe someday even you will believe it.

Shelley smirked a little, bringing her feet under herself, getting more into her game.

Shelley: You have the potential to be great, Olivia. It’s time to pull yourself up out from under your brother’s shadow.

Shelley smirks as the feed distorts a bit and "To Be Continued..." flashes across the screen.
