The scene opens to an average sized gym in Seattle, Washington with all sorts of sparring equipment set up inside. Heavy bags, gym equipment, a small scaled wrestling ring, and much more surprisingly fit inside the gym. A petite woman of only five foot one inch stands by a heavy bag clad in a pair of neon pink zebra striped shorts and a spaghetti strapped black tank top. With two toned dark charcoal colored Nike's on her feet, she raises her hands, throwing a right jab, left jab, right hook. Sweat drips down her face, causing her skin to glisten. She grunts here and there, finally adding a few kicks into the mix. Suddenly she stops. For a few moments there's nothing, only silence— until the redhead begins to speak.

"When I got started in this business about nine months ago, I never once thought that I would be in this position at this point in my career. I feel like this is a dream... It's a dream that seems too good to be true. It's also a dream that I feel is going to end much like the one that Cinderella was a major key factor in. Cinderella was a girl that had nothing. She was poor. She lived in rags. She found herself at the mercy of her step sisters. An appropriate comparison might be that my opponents this week could be labeled the "evil step sisters", Angelina Bellini and Priscilla Price. Sure, Angelina has never given me a reason to call her evil, she's still on the opposing team and thus she's guilty by association. I'm sorry, that's just the way things work."
Alice sighs softly, taking in a deep breath afterward.

"The evil step sisters were, at a glance, far superior than Cinderella and the same thing could be said for Angelina and Priscilla. At a glance, they appear to be better wrestlers technically speaking. Their stats, some of them, are considerably better than mine. Priscilla and Angelina may excel in something while I excel in another. That doesn't make them superior though. On paper it might, but inside here..."
She points to her heart.

"... In here, it means nothing. Cinderella fought her hardest to change her life. She fought with the struggles of reality and what her heart wanted. She wanted to go to the ball and meet her Prince Charming. She wanted that different life with Prince Charming; one that she could never have if she was stuck with her sisters. You see, ladies, what my heart wants is to be a professional wrestler. To have both professional wrestling and the man that I love. While I know that I already have my Prince, I also know that Priscilla is trying her damnedest to steal him from me. Kaiden is not only my boyfriend, but this week he's my tag team partner and I will not allow anything to step in the way of a win. When Cinderella meets her fairy God mother and goes to the ball, she loses her shoe, but the Prince finds the shoe and searches the kingdom for the owner of the shoe. Cinderella's sister attempt to fit into that shoe and I feel like Priscilla is trying to fit in my shoe and let me tell you that there is no way you're going to fit in my shoe and steal him from me."
Her voice is a bit more gritty at this point. The tone is a determined one.

"At the end of the story, the step sister lost the battle and Cinderella had her Prince Charming. They lived happily ever after in the castle and everything was just peachy. This week Angelina and Priscilla have given us no choice but to take this match far more seriously than we may show. To cause you to have the same fate as the step sisters. To you I may appear a woman who's more focused with her love life than getting into the ring, but my heart tells me otherwise. On paper I may not match up to either of you, but my passion for this sport and the drive I have to be the best tells me otherwise. These three things may not make sense to you, but they certainly make sense to me and that's all that matters at this point as far as I'm concerned."
Alice moistens her lips and throws another punch. With furrowed brows, she looks more determined than ever. Looking to the camera, she smiles as the scene fades to black, concluding what Ms. St. James has to say.
