*It is early Monday morning and General Celes is sitting in her office going over some paperwork when her door bursts open. Then closes just as quickly right into someone's face*
Someone: "OW!"
*Celes looks quizzically at the door...which opens again, but slower this time. Holly walks in while holding her nose in pain and sporting a very angry look on her face*
Celes: "Miss Walker, the EPITOME of the word "backfire."
Holly: "Now you listen..."
Celes: "Normally I would have scolded you for bursting into my office without an appointment, thereby failing to give me a chance to preemptively spray germ repellent...but given your comic relief...I'll let it slide."
Holly: "I know what you are trying to do and it won't work!"
Celes: "Insult you? It ALWAYS works...though your character gives me an ample head start."
Holly: "NO!! I mean what happened on this weekend's Voltage!"
Celes: "Giving KENTA! Army a chance to "outdo" you in the category of pyscho-sexual abnormalities?"
Holly: "NO!!!! *Holly is growing more furious by the second*
Celes: "Fine...I am assuming you are talking about my important announcement on Kim Cross' historic first episode of "Truth and Assumptions".
Holly: "WHY THE HELL DO WE NEED TAG TITLES!?"
Celes: "I believe I answered that question..."
Holly: "NO! Let ME provide the answer! The REAL answer! The truth behind your motivations!"
Celes: "This should be informative..."
Holly: "The reason you are creating a new OG-Joshi title is to take importance AWAY from MY OG-Joshi World Title!! Now that I am finally Champion, you are doing everything you can do to demote me and my Championship. By adding another title, you dilute the importance of THIS one!"
Celes: "Classic Holly. Everything just HAS to revolve around you, doesn't it?"
Holly: "You're damn right it does! I'm the OG-Joshi World Champion...i'm the Ace of..."
Celes: "Shut up for a second and learn something. This new Tag Title belt has NOTHING to do with you in the least. Take a second and reflect on my actions towards you during the last three weeks since Unleashed..."
*Holly begins to think*
Celes: "I have not denied or discredited your Title win at Unleashed or your new reign as Champion. My personal feelings about you aside, I respect the OG-Joshi Champions, contenders, and competitors in your Unleashed match too much to do ANYTHING to hurt the status of the OG-Joshi World Title...even if YOU happen to be holding it. The OG-Joshi World Title will still remain the jewel of the OG-Joshi crown. BUT..."
*Holly remains silent*
Celes: "The OG-Joshi Tag Titles are a different TYPE of titles meant to reflect a different TYPE of competition here then the kind YOUR Title stands for. We have seen some excellent wrestling in the last eight months of OG-Joshi Tag team matches. By creating Tag Championship Belts, I seek to codify the existing high quality of OG-Joshi tag team wrestling into something specific to shoot for. And I seek to award the teams of wrestlers who continue raising the bar even further to be the BEST at tag team wrestling, a worthy wrestling art that stands seperate and unique from singles competition. This all has NOTHING to do with your World Title."
Holly: "Well then...but...what...what about ME?!"
Celes: "What ABOUT you?"
Holly: "I'm the Ace of OG-Joshi whether I am in singles or tag team competition! I deserve to be in the tournament!"
Celes: "There is no one in OG-Joshi that can stand you and would willingly team with you."
Holly: "I don't care! I'm the best wrestler here!! I can tag with ANYONE and win the Titles in this tournament!"
*Celes' eyes widen and a smirk comes across her face
Celes: "Oh really? ANYONE? How about we test that hypothesis?"
Holly: "That what?"
Celes: *sighs* "How about you PROVE you are the best!? That's what you are all about, after all, right!? Proving other people wrong!? Fighting against adversity!? That's all you EVER say, especially ever since you won the OG-Joshi World Title! Well, let's see you do it once AGAIN."
Holly: "FINE! Uh...*Holly thinks for a second* do WHAT, now?"
Celes: *sighs again* "You enter the Tag Team tournament and win it with a partner that I choose for you."
Holly: "Um...that doesn't sound very......"
Celes: "What's the alternative!? You can't find someone else in OG-Joshi to tag with now, ANYWAY! You have nothing to lose here, but everything to gain. If you were to win the Tag Title Tournament with a partner I choose, wouldn't that just prove to everyone how "great" you are?"
Holly: "Well...FURTHER prove it...I guess!"
Celes: "I'll sweeten the deal. Between you and me, 4 of the teams in this tournament will have to go through an initial qualifier round. I'll allow your team to bypass it and start at the next round. And in THAT round, I'll have you face a team that has to get THROUGH the qualifier round...meaning they'll already be tired."
*Holly smiles devilishly but then her expression suddenly freezes and turns into utter confusion. Her left eye squints and she starts to closely examine Celes*
Holly: "Wait a second...just WHY are you doing this for me!?"
Celes: "I have my reasons."
Holly: "Yeah, your reasons are to screw with me! I just want to know how you are going to TRY to do it! And I say "try" because the jokes on YOU! With all the advantages you are giving my team, I am destined to win this Tournament and be the first OG-Joshi double champion EVER!"
*Holly's facial and bodily expression turns to one of grandeur*
Celes: "It sounds like you are agreeing to this arrangement, then?"
Holly: "Absolutely." *Holly shakes her head yes, confidently*
Celes: "I'd rather not shake your hand so let's just leave this as an oral agreement...wait...I don't like the sound of THAT either in regards to you. Just sign your name on this open team contract. Leave the other team member slot blank and I'll take care of the rest."
*Holly signs her name on a contract saying "OG-Joshi Tag Title Tournament entry form* (and NO, i'm not gonna do any legal/contract shenanigans here!)
Celes: "Good luck in the tournament...champ."*Celes smirks*
Holly: "Good luck with your quest to become a real human female! Lady parts and all!"
*Holly laughs loudly and leaves the room as Celes sits back in her chair and confidently smiles*
