(OOC: Um yeah, this RP is almost a month late in terms of real-time. Just imagine this all taking place during Xmas season of 2006. Also, this whole story is not being taped to air anywhere. There are no video cameras at all here. This is not meant for actual public exposure. It's role play more then a wrestling promo.)

(Oh yeah, and this whole story is the result of THIS RP from last month!)

(Oh also, this is gonna be multipart and LOOOOONG. Even for me! But it's going somewhere, really!)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*It is December 24th around 6:30 PM in the small town of Deadwood, South Dakota. We see a snowy "rural-burban" neighborhood and fade in on a country road lined with some houses. Outside of one such house, we see a young man, around the age of 20, shooting hoops near his garage. Yep...it's freaking December and snowy and this guy is intent on playing ball outside! On closer inspection, he appears to be...

No wait, no time for that! As a limo has just pulled up to the house! This has gotten exciting! The limo driver gets out and then opens both passenger-side doors. Out of one door emerges OG-Joshi World Champion, Robin "Holly" Walker. Out of the other door emerges the entire Harlem Globetrot...no, actually, we see none other then the owner of Orochi-O's, OG-FPD, and OG-Joshi: the esteemed OrochiGeese. Geese tips the limo driver and looks at Holly, whose face has frozen in a pained expression...but not from the cold.*

OG: "We've already been here for five seconds and you are already causing me to doubt this decision."

Holly: "No...no, I'm fine. It's just..I haven't been here for YEARS, Geese. You gotta give me some time to adjust to all this! It's like I've been taken back in time or something..." *Holly looks around in silent thought*

OG: "Well it's only going to get harder from here on out. I told the driver to stay put until...or IF... we enter the house. You can still turn back now."

*Holly lightly smacks Geese on the back of his head and smirks at him*

Holly: "Listen up "Chaos boy", the OG-Joshi World Champion doesn't turn back from ANYTHING!

OG: "Alright, alright. Well then, if you are so resolute, let us begin the weekend."

Holly: "If I didn't know better that you just wanted me to dive head first into this, I could just SWEAR that all my stories about how good a cook my mom is got to you! You want her pie, don't you!?"

OG: "I don't think your dad would appreciate that."


*Suddenly we hear a voice from behind*

Disembodied voice: "Appreciate what?"

*OG and Holly's faces turn all anime-surprised like as they rotate their bodies to investigate the origin of the disembodied voice. We then hear a small squeal of glee from Holly...yep, that's something we've never heard before from her outside of a "rubbing her elbow in someone's face" situation!*

Holly: "Kyle!"

*Holly hugs the owner of the ...now obviously not-disembodied voice. Ironically...that same voice belonged to the outdoorsy basketball fellow we saw earlier. You DID remember that part, right?*

Kyle: "Hi Robin. *Kyle smiles and returns the hug* So wait, what wouldn't dad appreciate?"

Holly: "Oh didn't I teach you not to eavesdrop out of context!"

Kyle: "Yeah, yeah."

*Holly turns to Geese*

Holly: "Geese, I'd like you to meet my brother, Kyle."

*Geese flashes a big grin and sticks out his hand as Kyle slowly shakes it*

Geese: "I do believe we briefly met back in the hospital a few months ago."

*Holly rolls her eyes dismissively.*

Holly: "If by "meeting Kyle" you mean "thinking he was my BOYFRIEND" and then "staring suspiciously at him."

*Holly turns to Kyle and laughs*

Holly: "Geese didn't know who you were when you visited me so he assumed you were my boyfriend and went all "evil eye" on you. Though he goes all "evil eye" on mostly everyone..."

OG: *Smirks* "Pot, kettle...Holly."

Kyle: "Now, now, Geese was probably just looking after you."

Geese: "That's what I said too!"

Kyle: "Afterall, she's certainly had her share of "unique" dating experiences with guys from New York City..."

*Holly flashes Kyle a look and he stops talking*

Holly: "Now Kyle, is this ANY way to show Geese and I "your" Walker hospitality!? Invite us in already!"

Geese: "It appears the cold bothers you far more then it does him. Unless my eyes deceive me, I do believe Kyle was playing basketball as we arrived. Quite athletic determination, if I do say so."

Kyle: "Just cause its cold outside don't mean I gotta stay inside and be lazy."

Geese: "Well said. An active body leads to an active mind an..."

Holly: "Ok, there will be PLENTY of time for "Geese 101" when we're INSIDE! Or else THIS active body *points to herself* will be kicking YOUR ass into the snow!"

Kyle: "Ok *laughs*, let's go into the house. Mom and Dad are waiting for you two."

*Kyle leads Holly and Geese to the front door as Geese signals to the limo to drive off. Holly turns her head to hear the limo drive and catches Geese's glance. Geese whispers: "It's already begun." to her as she nods. Kyle opens the door and...And...we go to Part 2! Which will be posted soon! Maybe today! Maybe not!*

[OrochiGeese]

(OOC: Sorry for the delay between RP's! This RP still takes place on December 24th, 2006)


*Kyle leads Holly and Geese into the Walker home and they are immediately met by a blonde-haired woman in her mid-late 40's wearing a "Bless our house" kitchen apron: Mrs. Mary Walker. Holly flinches a bit as her mom walks over to her. Kyle pats her on the shoulder for support.*

Kyle: "Robin's home, mom"

Holly: "H..hi there..."

*Mary looks at her daughter and attempts to keep a calm expression...but the corners of her mouth start wiggling and she then runs to give Holly a big hug. Tears stream down Mary's face as she holds on tightly to her daughter. Holly's expressions remains stoic as her face muscles tighten to keep control.*

Mary: "I didn't know if I'd ever see you again...thank you for coming back..."

*Holly's mom lets go and starts drying her tears*

Holly: "Thanks for inviting me...and Geese too! *Holly suddenly turns to Geese with a look of desperation. Geese takes the cue to help alleviate the awkward reconciliation.*

OG: "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Walker. Thank you for inviting Holly and I for dinner."

Mary: "So you must be Orochi Geese, I've heard a lot about you, dear."

*OG smirks as Holly nervously laughs*

Holly: "You must not have heard ENOUGH if you're calling him "dear."

Mary: "He seems well taken care of. Now, all you kids come in and relax. I'm sure you've had a long trip and dinner will be ready soon. Dad is out back just finishing up his chores but will be in shortly."

*Holly and Geese walk further into the house into a living room area. Geese takes a seat on the couch as Holly just kinda surveys the area in somewhat of a tranced state.*

Mary: "If you want to see it, I kept your room the way it was, Robin...oh, *Mary quickly puts her hand on her mouth, slightly embarrassed* I..I don't know what I should call you now.."

Kyle: "It's ok ma. I call her Robin, you can too."

*Holly nods and then sits down closeby to Geese.*

Mary: "I...I have to say, I like your hair this color. I never imagined you as a blonde, but its nice.."

Holly: "Th..thanks."

Kyle: "She looks kinda similar to you now, huh mom?"

*Both Mary and Holly say, in unison*: "Kinda.."

*Awkward silence for a few seconds...*

Mary: "Well I made your old favorite tonight, apple pie."

*Holly smiles and nods quietly...still seeming a bit shell-shocked*

OG: "Holly has raved to me about your cooking, Mrs Walker, especially your apple pie."

Mary: "Good to know she didn't forget...."

Holly: "I never forgot you mom, I never forgot any of you. I just had to move on.."

*As she's talking, a door opens in the house. We hear an imposing voice yell "Mary! Is dinner ready yet!?"

Mary: "Jim! They're here, come on in."

*About 30 seconds of total silence in the living room passes as we hear someone taking off their jacket and fiddling with things in a closet towards the back of the house. With every passing second, Holly's body freezes up more and more until Geese finally notices and leans into her for support.*

Mary: "Jim! Get in here already!"

*Jim Walker, Holly's dad, walks into the room. He's wearing a flannel shirt and old jeans and appears to be in his early 50's or so or with gray hair. Geese and Holly stand-up to greet him as Jim looks them both over. He first walks over to Geese and puts his hand out.*

Jim: "I'm Jim Walker, and you would be..

*OrochiGeese gives his best corporate smile and shakes Jim's hand.*

OG: "I am Holly's friend and the CEO of Orochi-O's, OrochiGeese. Thank you for inviting us to your home."

*They are still shaking hands as Jim grins*

Jim: "You'll have to excuse us, as we're not used to having big city millionaires here."

OG: "No apology is necessary, Mr. Walker."

*Jim grunts approval as he lets go of his handshake and then turns his attention to Holly, who is doing her best to stand still and not fidget. She is holding her hands behind her back and gritting her teeth in an attempted smile...or more specifically, look of general pleasantness.*

Jim: "Robin....been a long time. You look well."

Holly: "Hi dad, uh...thanks. And uh, Merry Christmas."

Jim: "Merry Christmas to you too."

*Jim breaks eye contact quickly and looks at Kyle*

Jim: "Hey Kyle, you wanna set the table for one more?

Mary: "Jim, I already knew Mr. Geese was coming."

Jim: "Oh I know, but we're having another guest. Bob Parker is coming over."

*Kyle sighs a bit*

Mary: "He is? Why didn't you tell me that before!? Oh, I hope I have enough food!"

Jim: "It's ok, Kyle will make sure his new boss eats right."

Holly: "New boss?"

Jim: "Kyle is gonna be working part time at Bob's store next month...just to pull in some extra income."

*Jim turns to Geese*

Jim: "Sometimes us farm folk has to work a bit extra to make ends meet."

Holly: "Geese has a few jobs, dad, he understands."

OG: "A few careers, actually. Who has the TIME to be idle, after all?"

Jim: "Well said. And I think Kyle could learn the value of hard work."

Mary: "You already have the boy working 10 hour days on the farm!"

Jim: "And he's the better for it! Look at 'em! He may not be the biggest man but he's strong."

Holly: "Kyle, do you still play in any of the intramural leagues?"

Jim: "The boy's got no time to. It's not his fault but the good lord saw fit to keep him at a small size. So he just couldn't get accepted into any schools to play ball."

OG: "It's always unfortunate when ones' true potential is unrecognized due to perceived physical limitations. But sometimes being told you aren't good enough is exactly what it takes to accomplish your goals. Look no further then Holly herself. No one else ever thought she could rise to the very top of professional wrestling, but she is the OG-Joshi World Champion...and..*OG looks to Holly to finish the sentence*"

*But Holly looks back at Geese and shrugs her shoulders in somewhat confusion...*

OG: "And the ACE of Joshi wrestling...isn't that right, Holly?"

*Holly smiles at Geese and then winks at him in appreciation*

Jim: "Oh so you're a champion of rasslin now, huh?"

Kyle: "I tried to get those two to watch OG-Joshi but..."

Jim: "Sorry, I only watch football."

Mary: "No offense Mr. Geese, but wrestling is just too violent for me."

OG: "None taken. *Geese smiles and then nods to Holly* But I think your daughter might know something about the causes of violence in OG-Joshi." *Geese proudly smirks*

*Holly gives the most genuine smile we've seen so far today, with some pride mixed in as well.*

OG: "Holly knows what it takes to be a Champion, and I'm quite proud of her achievements."

Jim: "Seems like you two are awfully close then."

Mary: "I wish I would have known. But Kyle didn't tell me that you two are dat-"

Holly: "Oh *Holly looks embarrassed* we're not...well, not anymore. We did when I first got to NYC, but that was a while ago. We're close but we're just friends."

Mary: "Are you seeing anyone else then, dear?"

Holly: "A guy named Johnny, but we're not serious."

Jim: "That's kids in NYC, no one is serious. I've heard about the escapades that take place there...

Mary: "What Jim means is that 'dating' is a bit different there then it is here."

OG: "I can assure you both that Johnny is a motivated, successful man, and a close friend of mine."

Kyle: "That would be Johnny Wang, right?"

Holly: "uh..yeah, yeah."

Jim: "That boy's got a hell of a last name, he probably got teased a lot growing up."

Holly: "Actually he was quite popular with the ladies...and still is."

*Mary blushes a bit and looks down as Jim kinda hmmphs*

Jim: "Well, good for him, then."

*Awkward silence again as Jim turns to OG and is about to talk when the doorbell rings.*

[OrochiGeese]

*Awkward silence again as Jim turns to OG and is about to talk when the doorbell rings.*

Mary: "That must be Bob...someone let him in so I can go back to cooking!"

*Mary runs back into the kitchen as Kyle gets the door. In walks a broad shouldered man of average height around his early 30's wearing a high school varsity jacket. He's partially balding but has a big, self-assured, playful smile. He pats Kyle on the shoulder and hands him his jacket.*

Kyle: "Hello Mr. Parker."

Bob: "Hi Kyle, be helpful and take my jacket, won't you?"

Bob Parker walks over to shake Jim's hand enthusiastically then looks at OG and then Holly in amazement.*

Bob: "Robin Walker, is that you!? You're all grown up!"

Holly: "Hi Bob, it's Holly now actually...

Bob: "Well then, please call me Bobby."

*Holly smiles awkwardly and shakes his hand...leading to him giving her a big hug...causing OG to smile at her shocked expression. Holly finally wiggles out and then Bob turns his attention to OG*

Bobby: "And who's your friend, the smiler?"

OG: "My name is OrochiGeese..."

Bobby: "Geese!? Your name is Geese? You some kinda animal preserve weirdo?"

OG: "No, 'just' the CEO of Orochi-O's cereal and owner of the OG-Joshi professional wrestling company."

Bobby: "Ahh ok, never mind then. Those animal rights activists are always on my ass cause I'm a sport hunter. Especially...and don't take this the wrong way Geesey-boy... but I love hunting goose!"

*OG smiles widely*

OG: "Really now? Well to show there are no hard feelings, let me arrange to send you a few Gooses to 'hunt'. I know where to find some very active ones that should give you quite the workout. And they are known around the world for their...unique taste and tenderness."

*Holly has her head down, trying her best to hold back laughter. Even Kyle begins to blush.*

Bobby: "That would be mighty neighborly of you to send them over!"

OG: "Oh I ASSURE you that you'll never forget them...and they'll never forget you."

*Bobby turns to Jim, smiles, then points at Geese*

Bob: "I like this guy...very generous!"

*Before Holly starts to erupt with laughter, we hear a voice from the kitchen yell "dinner's ready." *

Holly: "Ok, I just want to put my stuff away and wash up before dinner. Geese, can you give me a hand?"

Bob: "I could help you if you wan-"

Holly: "Thanks Bobby, but Geese has our luggage. We'll meet you in the kitchen soon."


Bobby, Jim, and Kyle go to the kitchen as Holly drags Geese by the arm into hallway by her old room and starts whispering to them.


Holly: "I can't BELIEVE they invited that creep!"

OG: "You mean good ole 'Bobby?' He seems pretty harmless to me, kinda like an old high school football player still trying to relive his past glory with every new venture he attempts."

Holly: "Yep, I think he took his team to the state championships, actually. He's also an old friend of the family and my parents ALWAYS wanted to fix me up with him when I got older. He's creepy as hell though. One more of the many reasons that my parents were angry with me when I was "seeing' Jo was cause I wasn't showing any interest in Bobby. So it's kinda strange that Dad invited him over tonight."

OG: "You DO, of course, realize what this means..."

Holly: "That Bobby was probably getting off on hugging me?"

OG: "Besides that. It means that your parents have apparently not lost hope in you returning here and living the life that they want for you. Apparently they entertain hope that your little "escapade" in NY can come to a close now that you are back here and being "woo'd" by Bobby."

Holly: "I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered that they want to give me a 'second chance'..."

OG: "I think both reactions are fine. But do not let them distract you from your main goal of returning here."

Holly: "Which IS?"

OG: "Holly, you obviously came here tonight to show your parents what you have become and to give them another chance to accept who you really are. So do not hesitate to display your well earned pride and accomplishments, or be afraid to state your future goals. However, if you want to give them a chance to understand and appreciate what you have become, then you have to be patient with them as well."

*Holly pauses in deep thought for a few seconds then smiles at Geese*

Holly: "You know, you really freak me out sometimes."

OG: "How so?"

Holly: "Someone who's usually borderline homicidal in the ring is now sitting with me in my old house and giving me advice to be "patient with my estranged parents" about accepting me. When did the "kaiser of chaos" suddently become a counselor for troubled youth!?" *Holly laughs*

OG: "As your parents will hopefully find out about you, some people can have many layers to them."

Holly: "So..."layer-cake", you want to check out my old room? There's probably some old Jo Ryder love notes in there that we could have fun burning out back!"

OG: "As much as my curiosity is piqued as to how you spent your childhood, I suggest we head to the dinner table for now. Also, don't call me layer-cake."

Holly: *rolls her eyes and laughs* "Fine, fine..."

OG: "Seriously, don't be afraid to tell them all you have become in the last few years. They can call you Robin but you are now Holly, the OG-Joshi World Champion and Orochi-O's Director of Marketing..."

Holly: "Got Jet lag, Geese? I'm just the Vice Presi..."

OG: "I was saving this announcement for a special occasion and this moment seems to fit that description. Earlier this week I appointed you to the Board of Directors of Orochi-O's."

*Holly's eyes go wide as her mouth hangs agapge and she hugs Geese*

OG: "You invited me here before I had a chance to tell you about the promotion. Then I figured I'd save the news for when it would be most useful for you. So march right into the kitchen and tell Jim and Mary that their daughter is now on the Board of Directors of the most successful cereal company in the world.."

*Holly looks at Geese with a gleam in her eye and mouths "thank you"*

OG: "Now let's go have a celebratory dinner...with your mom's pie."

*Holly winks at Geese and lightly jabs him in the arm. Then they both walk to the kitchen.*

[OrochiGeese]

*Geese and Holly walk into the kitchen/dining room area. There are two seats left for them, though not next to each other, and everyone else is seated. Not surprisingly, one of those open seats are next to Bobby, as he ushers Holly over his way. She sighs as OG smirks and nudges her over, being "nice" enough to pull the chair out for her so she is forced to sit there. As he walks away, she lightly kicks him, outside of anyone's view, causing him to stumble a bit and smirk at her.*

Bobby: "That boy have balance problems? You need a hand?"

*Holly laughs*

OG: "Thank you but my equilibrium is just fine."

Bobby: "You're an odd bird, you know that?"

OG: "Yes, so it would seem here."

*OG sits down in between Kyle and Mary.

Mary: "Now that we're all here, we should say grace before dinner."

Jim: "You want to say it, Robin?"

Robin: "Uh...maybe we should let Bobby, since he's a guest."

Jim: "In that case, let's ask your friend Geese."

Holly: "I'm...I'm not sure you want to do that..."

Mary: "It's ok, he doesn't mind, right Geese?"

Holly: "Um, ok, but he has a very different way of saying it."

Mary: "Shh, Robin, he's starting."

OG: "Thank you Capitalism for inspiring people to work and put food on the table for themselves."

*The rest of the table stares at him dumbfoundedly as they hear the most secular stating of grace ever in their life. Jim's face begins turning red with anger"*

Jim: "Let me stop you right there, son. I don't think I've ever heard THAT version before."

OG: "We give thanks differently where I'm from. Specifically, we don't give it, we CLAIM it. We thank ourselves for our achievements, not some disembodied spir-"

Holly: "Hey, look, food! Let's eat it!! Eat it NOW!"

Mary: "Oh I'm sorry dear, I should have just let you two get started after all the traveling you did. Don't worry about grace, just go right ahead and dig in."

*Jim silently says grace as OG and Holly start eating. The rest of the table waits for Jim to finish and then starts eating as well.*

Mary: "Looks like you haven't had a good meal in a while, hun."

Holly: "Oh no...well, not for a few hours. But I eat just fine in NYC, it's the food capital of the world!"

Jim: "Too much ethnic food there for me, don't you agree Bobby?"

*Bobby is busy making a pig of himself with the mashed potatoes but then jumps to attention as he hears Jim addressing him.*

Bobby: "Yeah! I don't care for anything besides American home cookin, just like what Mrs. Walker makes."

OG: "She does represent this particular style of food quite well. Thank you Mrs. Walker for the meal."

Mary: "I'm just happy to see everyone together again, and with some new friends!"

Bobby: "So, Robin, your folks tell me you're a wrestler now? And you work at a cereal company?"

OG: "Actually, Holly was meaning to make an announcement about that."

Holly: "Geese just promoted me to the Board of Directors!"

Kyle: "Really? Good going Robin!"

OG: "Miss Walker is now the Director of Marketing for THE most prestigious cereal company in the world."

*Mary is smiling widely, but then looks uneasy as she turns to her side, seeing that Jim is silent.*

Bobby: "Wow, Geese, that's quite progressive of you."

OG: "How so?"

Bobby: "A woman on the Board of Directors."

OG: "Holly singlehandedly turned Orochi-O's around during it's most desperate time and made it profitable again. She has fully earned and deserves her new position, regardless of her gender."

Holly: "Thanks Geese." *as the smile on Holly's face begins to grow*

OG: "Holly is also the current OG-Joshi Champ-"

*Holly interrupts as the pride on her face is shining as brightly it usually does*

Holly: "That's OG-Joshi WORLD Champion, Geese. The BEST in the world and the ACE of Joshi Wrestling!"

*OG is smiling widely as Holly is beaming.*

*Mary looks down uncomfortably and whispers to Holly*

Mary: "Now now Robin, be humble."

*Holly looks down but then quickly looks up, defiantly*

Holly: "I'm proud of what I've done, mom. Humility is for short sighted people like Dizzy or Alicia Gordon."

*OG sends a curious look Holly's way at the mention of Alicia but Holly just shrugs it off.*

Mary: "I'm sorry, who? Are those your wrestling friends?"

Holly: "Never mind, not important. And no, they aren't."

*OG is still looking at Holly, trying to read her expression. She ignores it and turns to Kyle*

Holly: "So, what do you think of your big sister!?"

Kyle: "I'm proud of you, Robin, you've really made something of yoursel-"

*Kyle quickly stops talking as Jim shoots him an angry look.*

Jim: "All that wrestling and cereal-selling, I just don't understand it."

OG: "Success is measured in many ways, Mr. Walker. The fact that your daughter has achieved so many seemingly impossible goals in such a short time is nothing short of extraordinary."

Mary: "I never imagined a daughter of mine would be a champion of wrestling. Or a member of the board! That's so exciting. All that schoolwork and long nights paid off, after all."

Jim: "Which long nights do you mean?"

Mary: "Not now Jim."

Jim: "The ones with that Ryder harlot?"

*Brutally awkward silence sets in as Holly stares straight down. Finally, the situation is partially rectified as a lone clueless voice speaks up, attempting to carry on the conversation no matter what.*

Bobby: "I never liked school, myself, Mrs. Walker."

Mary: "That's ok Bobby."

Jim: "Everything turned out great for you Bobby, I'm proud of you."

Bobby: "Thanks Mr. Walker, that means a lot to me!"

Mary: "Did you know Robin? Bobby has his own business now."

Holly: "That's great. Hey Geese, can you pass the *said quickly* "anythingtochangethetopic" plate?"

Geese: "Gladly."

Bobby: *looking confused* "What plate is THAT on the table? That some fancy New York name for peas?"

*Kyle rolls his eyes*

Geese: "Yes, peas, that will work just fine. There you go, Holly."


*Dinner continues as rather uneventful conversation (comparatively) takes place. Dessert is served and they all stuff themselves, especially Bobby. As everyone finishes up, they start getting up from the table.*


Mary: "Oh Robin, did you see Bobby's new car? It's a new Chevy pickup truck!"

Holly: "Uh, good?"

Mary: "You used to love trucks when you were young."

Holly: "Yeah, and I have my own SUV now..."

Mary: "Loved them! Bobby, show her your new truck!"

Bobby: "I'd be happy to! Heck, I bet Robin hasn't seen her own farm for years, I should take her on a tour."

Mary: "She'd be pleased to go, I'm sure."

*Holly futilely tries to protest as Mary pushes her out the door with Bobby.*

OG: "That was...brusque."

Mary: "They used to be good friends when they were growing up. It would be nice for them to catch up."

Kyle: "Mom, Robin and Bobby never even used to talk-"

Jim: "You heard what your mother said, they were good friends."

*Kyle sighs*

Jim: "If you all don't mind, I'll be heading to bed. I take it you'll be staying with us tonight, Mr. Geese?"

OG: "If that is ok with you and your wife."

Jim: "Yes, you and Robin should stay the weekend."

OG: "My thanks Mr. Walker for your hospitality."

*Jim quickly shakes his hand then starts to leave the room. On his way out*

Jim: "Kyle, I need you up bright and early tomorrow, we got work to do. And don't you two interrupt Bobby and Robin."

Kyle: "Yes, dad."

Mary: "I should really be turning in also."

OG: "Thank you for dinner, Mrs Walker. Holly's praise for your cooking ability did not go far enough."

Mary: "Thank you Mr. Geese."

*Mary smiles graciously and then leaves the room as well, leaving OG and Kyle. They both wait in silence as they hear the door being closed to Jim and Mary's bedroom. Then OG looks at Kyle and smirks*


OG: "So Kyle, what do you say we join the "Tour de Bobby?"

Kyle: "I think Holly would be grateful."

OG: "What about what your dad said?"

Kyle: "What he don't know won't hurt him."

OG: *smirks* "Well said."


*OG and Kyle leave quietly through the front door and start trying to find Holly and Bobby*

[OrochiGeese]

*OG and Kyle leave through the front door, shutting it closed ever so quietly.*

Kyle: "That dirtbag probably took Robin on a "tour" near the barn."

*They begin walking down a dirt path*

OG: "I notice you have some contempt for your future boss."

Kyle: "Bobby's a slimeball- always has been, always will be. Used to come over to the house and pick on me for being "too small". And then when I'd beat him in basketball, he'd claim I cheated and Dad would take his side. Couldn't have the ego hurt of the local football "star." *Kyle rolls his eyes*

OG: "His fragile emotions have been sheltered, he'll break like a twig at the first sign of resistance. You, on the other hand, you've obviously had to go through a lot to get to the point you're at."

Kyle: "What point would that be?"

OG: "You are strong. Mentally and physically. You don't look like someone who can be broken when disagreed with. People see Bobby and think he's successful, but he's just an empty vessel of compliments. His whole world is predicated on others saying how great he is, that's how he defines himself. Whereas my whole world is doing whatever I want despite what others think of me, often in the face of their resistance. Though you are young, and still have a ways to go, I think I know which of those two paths you are equipped to take, Kyle...just like your sister. We just need to get you to some new surroundings."

Kyle: "After Robin left, my parents have been more protective of me then ever. If I'm gone for more then an hour, they think I've run away too. That's why Dad has me working the farm on my free time."

OG: "That's no way for a young man with goals to grow up. Goals like your sister had, goals like she achieved. I sense that same strength and determination in you. You just need an outlet for it."

Kyle: "I had sports, but I know I can only go so far."

OG: "Traditional sports are fueled by the media, not by achievement. What you need is a place to prove yourself where no one can hold you back. Where your reward will be directly tied to the work you put in and the results you achieve. Kyle, I believe you can follow your sister's footsteps."

Kyle: "Be a pro wrestler? Hell, I've never even been in a fight-"


*At that point, an angry shriek is heard from a female voice. OG and Kyle immediately recognize it as Holly and run to the nearby barn. They go inside and hear...*

Holly: "If you EVER touch me again, I'll rip your hand off and put it in the trophy case of your high school!"

*The sight is even more shocking, as Bobby's hand is on Holly's chest...but is completely twisted in Holly's grip. His face is contorted in pain and Holly is about to knee him when...*

Kyle: "You piece of shit! Don't you dare touch my sister! AHH!"

*Quick as lightning, Kyle vaults into the air (like a dragoon on CRACK) and PLASTERS Bobby with a flying punch to the jaw! Bobby goes careening backwards as Kyle continues the assault with some more punches. Bobby finally manages to catch one of the wild array of punches and laughs at Kyle...*

Bobby: "Boy, you can't fight me, you're too sma-"

*Kyle completes Bobby's sentence with an exclamation point...as he spins around and uses his free hand to smack Bobby on the side of his face with another punch. Bobby is sent crumbling down to the floor and Kyle begins unloading a barrage of fast mounted punches on him.*

OG: "Kyle has heart, Bobby, something YOU couldn't buy with all the pick-up trucks in the world. Something you couldn't earn with all the undeserved and patronizing compliments you've ever gotten. Kyle Walker can rise above his physical limits, whereas you, Bobby, are limited to your feeble mental ones."

*All the while, Holly is in SHOCK at the assault her brother is laying down upon Bobby. And Geese is leaning against the barn, with his forefinger pressed onto his chin, nodding approvingly.*

OG: "Holly, I do believe your brother has that Walker rage."

Holly: "Kyle, it's ok, he only tried to touch me once, I don't want you to lose your job."

OG: "Nonsense, let the boy let out his aggressions! And I'll make sure his employment is secure."

*OG casually walks over to Kyle, makes note of a profusely bleeding Bobby and then clears his throat. Kyle looks up and Geese motions him to get up. Kyle shakes his head no but Geese smirks and asks for a turn. Bobby hesitates but then dismounts when he sees the sadistic look in OG's eyes aimed at Bobby. OG picks Bobby up by the THROAT and holds him defenseless against the wall.*

OG: "So Bobby, is THIS the way you expected to get into the Walker family? You figured Holly would just roll over and accept you as a boyfriend, as a future husband? I'd imagine no one has ever had the self-esteem to say no to you before, and you didn't quite know how to deal with it, so you got desperate. Pity you find out about rejection this way. It's quite unfortunate really, but there's a silver lining for you. If you don't talk to their dad about what Kyle just did to you, we won't tell him about your "busy hands."

Bobby: "Fuck you!! Like Jim Walker would believe ANY of you! Kyle's a runt, Robin's a whore, and you're a freaking pro wrestler! That shit's fake!"

*Bobby spits at Geese, yielding a surprised look on Geese's face, almost comical*

OG: "Is that so? Fake like my grip on your neck as it crushes your larynx?"

*Bobby starts choking as Holly gets a concerned look on her face, Kyle just looks on full of anger.*

Holly: "Geese...easy..."

OG: "And I wonder if your doctor treats fake spinal cord injuries?"

Holly: "Geese...please...just let him go...I didn't want to bring trouble back here this weekend!"

OG: "Oh, it's no trouble at all! I just have to hoist him on my shoulders"

Geese does just that, holding Bobby in a Torture rack position*

OG: "And then drive him on his head! It's quite easy!"

Kyle: "What's that move called, Goose?"

OG: "Glad you asked, Kyle. I used to call it the "Air Shock Hammer", but I think I'm changing the name to the "Infinity Chaos Hammer." Subtle change, but I think it works."

*Holly's look of panic fades as she begins to nod quite casually*

Holly: "I like that. It has a nice ring to it."

Bobby: "FUCK! LET ME DOWN! DON'T HURT ME! I WON'T SQUEAL TO JIM! I PROMISE!"

OG: "Oh, I know you won't. Cause if you do, I'll find you. And then you will be eliminated."

*OG drops him down on the ground as Bobby frantically catches his breath, hyperventilating, even crying.*

Holly: "Bobby, you are an even bigger disappointment then I thought you were. You're not fit to lie on top of the horse manure you are lying on now. And you're certainly not fit to be my brother's boss."

*Bobby looks under his back and curses like Biff: "MANURE!! I HATE MANURE!"

Kyle: "No, Robin, we gotta keep this under wraps."

Holly: "Bobby, you are gonna sell your little store to me, then I'm gonna gift it to Kyle. And you, Bobby, are gonna be his employee for now on. You got that?"

Bobby: "Whatever...I'll sell, ok! Just don't hurt me, please!"

OG: "The first corporate takeover in record time from my new Director of Marketing. I'm impressed."

Holly: "I'll draw the papers up when I get back to NYC. For now, I want you OUT of my sight!"

*Bobby gets up and stumbles out of the barn as he runs scared to his car. A few seconds later we hear his truck screech and drive away. Holly looks at Kyle.*

Holly: "Damn Kyle, I didn't know you had that in you!"

*Kyle is catching his breath from the ordeal, experiencing the end effects of the "fight/flight" syndrome. He's breathing heavy but has a serious, almost shocked, look in his eyes.*

Kyle: "Neither did I. I guess... I guess I just never saw anything to bring that kinda fight out in me. But seeing what he was trying to do, it just tore me up."

OG: "Protecting your sister is very a worthy cause, Kyle, and you did it extremely well. I don't know if I ever before saw a man move so fast. Contrary to what many have told you, your body is not a liability, it's a ASSET. It allows you to move as fast as you do, as does your years of experience with athletics."

Holly; "Geese, you don't think?"

OG: "Yes, I do. And I was saying it to Kyle even before he displayed the heart he just did. Kyle, you can be a pro wrestler, you can be a great one. You just proved to me that you have EVERY tool you need...provided you have the passion to pursue this path. But you already have the heart of a fighter."

Kyle: "I...I dunno. My whole life is here."

Holly: "So was mine. And I got out of this rut and made something of myself. Kyle, you're clearly not happy here anymore! You don't have to stay! Or, at least, you don't have to be confined here."

OG: "Let that sycophant Bobby work for you here, and then learn the proud sport of pro wrestling during the rest of your time. I can help you, so can your sister, so can my entire army of wrestlers and contacts."

Kyle: "Geese, I appreciate it. But, if I did this, I'd have to do it my way and WORK for it. I can't just waltz into OG-FPD and expect to compete just cause who my sister is and cause you own the promotion. It's just not right. I can't start on top, I have to earn my success my own way, the whole way through."

OG: "It is that attitude which has molded you into the man you are now, and I respect that. So here is what I will do for you. I have a number of connections in the world of professional wrestling. You let me find you a proper training school and then a promotion for you to wrestle in. I will not get you any special privileges nor will I even allow you to enter a promotion of mine until I see you are ready. You will have to work for everything you earn, and survive on your own merits and skills."

Kyle: "That's the way I want it to be. The only way."

OG: "You just have to be willing to travel to do this. So you'll have to handle your parents. I know some top notch training programs, but they are around the country, and the world."

Holly: "I don't want my baby brother getting all sexed up in Japan, Geese, like you used to!"

*OG and Kyle laugh*

OG: "I'll see to it that he doesn't. Kyle, a world of opportunity is now being presented to you."

Kyle: "I want it. I want to be a pro wrestler. I want to fight like I did before...fight for the right reasons."

OG: "You liked what you did back there, huh? Like how that felt? That's just the tip of the iceberg."

Holly: "There's nothing like it, Kyle. Nothing like standing in front of that crowd and proclaiming yourself as the best! The ACE! The CHAMPION! Not letting anyone stand in your way and winning your goals!"

OG: "Kyle, look at what pro wrestling has done for your sister. She left Deadwood an empty shell of a girl at the lowest point in her life. Rock bottom. And yet she comes back today a MODEL woman. A professional, a champion, a WINNER in life. You can become that too, Kyle."

Kyle: "I want it. I felt it while defending Holly! And I can't just sit around here anymore."

Holly: "Well, I WAS able to defend my-"

OG: "Yes yes, we know! *OG winks at Holly* how thankful you are to your brother for coming to your aid."

*OG whispers: "work with me, here!" to Holly who winks back*

Holly: "Ah yes! Yes! And Kyle, just imagine how many others you can help by fighting in the ring!"

Kyle: "Ok, you two, I'm ready. I want to be a pro wrestler. I want to fight for what I believe in."

OG: "Excellent. I will make the necessary arrangements."

Holly: "But Kyle, if anyone gives you any trouble, you just tell us-"

OG: "No, he'll handle it himself. And he'll be just fine. He's a Walker, after all. And you don't take shit."

Holly: "Damn straight! We cause it!"


*The three laugh as they leave the barn and the scene and this seemingly never-ending promo ends*

...

(Oh, uh, I guess I should add that the rest of the weekend there is pretty uneventful!! But here's a quick prologue for the weekend until OG and Holly go back to NY a few days before New Years 2007.

Jim continues giving Holly the cold shoulder and giving dirty looks to Geese whenever Geese extols the virtues of Holly's life and career! Mary does her best to re-bond with her daughter, achieving decent success! OG and Holly proceed to burn every item that reminds Holly of Jo Ryder! OG accidentally opens the door while Mary Walker is showering, leading to awkward moments! OG later tells Holly that her mom is HOT, leading Holly to make a "rolling cradle" remark that makes them both blush in recalling their past! Finally, OG gives Kyle the necessary information and makes a few calls for him!! Also, Fatbot goes to Tijuana, gets a virus, and has to be rebooted! OG-Joshi brings fun for the whole family entertainment!)
