Lexi Gold · (08-29-2022)

The scene opens up inside a training facility where we see Lexi Gold running the ropes and taking bumps while her sister Leslie stands outside the ropes and watches on. Lexi finishes as her sister joins her in the ring and hands her a bottle of water. She brushes the sweat off her forehead before taking a drink.

Lexi Gold: That was intense stuff. Now it's your turn to show me what you got.

Leslie chuckles and looks down at her hands.

Leslie Gold: Please tell me you're kidding, I just got a fresh manicure.

Lexi shakes her head and leans against the turnbuckle.

Lexi Gold: I can't tell you how many times I have broken nails. Luckily no body parts though, but being able to perform in front of millions is worth the pain. You should try it someday. I know someone who can help train you.

Leslie Gold: Are you saying I should be a wrestler? I don't know. The thought of leaving my kids for the road would be a challenge.

Lexi ties up her hair back into a ponytail and gets an idea

Lexi Gold: I can't imagine having kids at this stage in my life. I simply would not have time for them, but what if we had ourselves a little challenge just for fun.

Leslie Gold: Hmm, what kind?

Lexi Gold: You live life in my shoes for a day and I live life in yours and see if we can handle it.

Leslie Gold: That could be interesting. Challenge accepted.

Lexi Gold: Perfect. We can start tomorrow.

Both sisters made their way out of the ring, talking about the challenge as they headed home for the day.

-NEXT DAY-

It was the first day of the challenge and Lexi was inside of Leslie's home as she sat on the couch flipping through a magazine while she waited for the kids to get home from school. The wait made her nervous for some reason, which was weird considering she spent a lot of time with the kids, but nothing like this. She hoped to make a good impression with them and hopefully learn something new from this experience. Finally, a few seconds later, the kids came bursting through the door and starting yelling, which startled her. She acted cool and walked over toward them.

Lexi Gold: Hey guys. How was school?

Aubree: Not really.

Ryan: Yeah, school was pretty boring. I almost fell asleep, so what are we doing, Auntie?

Lexi scratched the back of her head nervously, forgetting to plan this stuff out prior to coming, but she put herself in a kid's shoes and thought of the first thing that came to mind.

Lexi Gold: We can go to the park, but first I believe I have to feed you. What do you guys want? My snakes love my cooking, especially my homemade muffins.

Ryan: You have snakes? Can we see them?

Lexi Gold: Maybe later. They are probably sleeping right now. How about I cook you both some chicken and rice?

Aubree: Sounds good.

Lexi smiled and patted their heads before making her way to the kitchen. She got all the stuff she needed in order to make her dish and started to prepare it. An hour later and the food was done, so she grabbed plates and placed the food on them and set them on the dining room table and called them over as they ran there like a herd of wild hyenas. Lexi sat across from them at the table and watched them eat, taking pride in her cooking skills.

Lexi Gold: Well, what do you think?

Ryan: It's really good. Do your snakes eat chicken too?

Lexi Gold: Oh yes. It's their favorite meal, although they tend to go into a food coma afterwards.

They all share a laugh over that one, finding this experience easy so far, as she taps the table.

Aubree: I wonder how mom is doing with the training.

Ryan: I think she is doing great. Can you imagine if she decides she likes it, then ends up doing it for real, and you too could team up, or face each other.

Lexi Gold: Um, I was not expecting you to say that, but those options could be considerable. Anyway, finish up, so we can go to the park.

The room is now filled with silence, but that changes when the doorbell rings. Lexi lets out a squeal and runs to answer it. Once she opens the door, her snake slithers inside and wraps itself around her legs. The kids join her and notice the snake there and kneeled down to pet it. The snake sticks its tongue out.

Aubree: We can go now, please?

Lexi Gold: Of course. It's such a nice day, so I was thinking we could walk there.

They smiled and both took each hand and walked out the door and headed for the park. The screen then switched to Leslie, who was at the same training facility as before. She is seen running the ropes as Lexi's trainer watches to the side. She struggled to breathe, but the trainer encouraged her to keep going, and she didn't want to seem like a quitter, so she kept going. Once she was done, she chugged the water, waiting for a few seconds before taking bumps. She had seen her sister do this plenty of times, but it was easier said than done, respecting the wrestlers who did this often with ease, adding in some rolls and repeating everything before she finished as she stood there drenched in sweat and feeling tired. The trainer applauded her for the effort today and gave her a pep talk before leaving. Soon after, she grabbed a towel and left as well. In a few hours, she was supposed to meet him with her sister back at her place, but a hot shower was needed first.

-BACK AT LESLIE'S HOUSE-

Leslie was putting clothes away in her bedroom when she heard the door shut. She quickly finished and went into the living room where the kids almost tackled her to the ground, then Lexi's snake wanted the attention too, so it slithered around her legs. She removed it from there and shook her head, then the kids separated. Lexi and Leslie gathered together on the couch to talk.

Lexi Gold: How was the training? Was it easy, hard?

Leslie Gold: Very hard, but I did everything he asked me to, and at least I didn't die. Next time I give you shit on not doing a move correctly, please slap me. It is not easy, I can tell you that much.

Lexi Gold: I would never slap you, but will let you know that things take a lot of time and practice. You just have to keep at it if you want to get better, but I am proud of you for putting the effort in. I did have fun with the kids, though. We went to the park, had ice cream and an old couple thought the kids were my own. I also learned not to be so overprotective. Ain't that right, my baby?

The snake jumped on her and wrapped its body around her arm as she stroked it.

Leslie Gold: Just wait until you start having real babies. You will love being a mom.

Lexi Gold: Maybe. Right now, I'm happy being a snake mom. I wouldn't give that up.

They share a laugh before getting up to walk over to the kitchen, where they bring out the wine and glasses as the scene fades.

Being in many companies, there will be people who voice their concern about me and state that I'm spreading myself too thin and will likely receive burn out from constantly allowing my body to be put in these challenges. While I appreciate their concerns I know what my body is capable and not capable of doing, and I've been fortunate enough to not have to question my status as a professional wrestler just yet, so with that being said I don't know what I will encounter in this journey of mine, but you can bet I will work my ass off to find yet another golden opportunity, but first I have to get through two opponents. While I heard their name lingering around, I've yet to face either one.

She gets comfortable in her chair and takes a deep breath before continuing.

I love a new challenge put in front of me. It's like opening a new package in the mail not knowing how it will look or work when you open it, but you still trust you will like it, and that's my assumption with this match. You both been in XWF long enough to know how to get the job done. I may not be that familiar to the two of you, and you may use my past history to make assumptions, but if you both are smart you should focus on the present of The Golden Goddess who has tested the waters here long enough, and now it's time to make my own waves.

Those waves will carry me to victory. Don't believe me? Watch me. You can use my defeat against Raion Kido to try and get under my skin, but it'll only motivate me to do better next time. Anyway, I want to mention more about my opponents. First up is John Black. You certainly have been a mainstay in XWF, or been here longer than myself, so you got the experience factor, which is always nice. I can respect that, but on the other hand, you also seem like the type to talk without a filter on you, like you have many times before with previous opponents of yours. I'm sure by now you have mentioned me already and if I'm correct, then you are in for a lot of trouble, my friend. I don't condone disrespect. You may have the height and weight advantage over me, but you will be surprised when they work against you, and you eat a pin, giving you more of a reason to mention my name. I aim to thrive even if the odds are stacked against me in this situation, and thriving I shall do.

She paced the room back and forth, looking up at the ceiling and trying to mentally prepare herself for this match, as she stopped and looked at the camera again.

This brings me to my final opponent, Finn Kuhn. From what I've learned about you, you have a history of making people disappear, whether that is intentional or not. If you think that's going to be the case with me no matter the end result, then you got another thing coming to you. If anything the fans and the rest of the world will be seeing more of me, but for now I hope you don't play the common game of underestimating me much like people in the past, because let's not forget that you too were the underdog once upon a dog just trying to survive in this world of wrestling.

She smiles and clears her throat.

From the ashes a fire shall be awaken and that fire will be awaken on Warfare..
