INTRO: What a night at Come Out and Play. The SWF crowned it's first champion in this new era, and there was controversy everywhere tonight. But in the mind of Shawn Storm only a few things happened that render any importance at all....first he defeated Sully Sphinx and checked another mark in the win column...then his mentor Falcon returned to the SWF by signing a long term contract....from there in a fit of rage Shawn accidently hit his fiance Lilly with a steel chair while trying to destroy Lucas Knight. So to say Shawn's night was full of excitement and controversy is a huge understatement. But with all that happened Shawn has to have something to say about the happenings from tonights Come Out and Play pay per view event. So we wait for him in his locker room after the nights events have finally come to a close. Let's just hope all is well between him and Lilly, and this accident hasn't driven them apart for good.

Part 1:

The scene opens in the locker room area following the SWF Come Out and Play pay per view event. The entire locker room is buzzing after a huge night where a new International Champion was crowned, a legend returned, and Shawn Storm hit his fiance with a steel chair. But as the scene fades in we can already tell we are inside the a nice locker room, and it's only a moment before the door swings open and Shawn Storm enters. He is still in his wrestling gear, but he's got a few papers in his hand.

"Lilly, are you in here?" he asks.

The room is silent.

"Hey, I'm sorry about tonight. I didn't mean to hit you, you know that baby," he says.

Storm looks around the room and then walks over to a bench along the wall. All of his gym bags are still on there but Lilly's are missing.

"No fucking way," he says in a stern voice.

Storm starts looking through his gym bag and pulls out his cell phone. He flips it over and his a few buttons, then lifts it to his face and waits.

"Come on, come on...answer damn it," he says.

Several moments pass by without an answer on the other line. Finally he flips the phone closed, and tosses it back into his gym bag.

"Damn it Lilly, why are you pulling this shit now?" he asks himself. "Oh well, I have to get a shower, and headed back home. It's a long flight back to Miami, and I have to prepare for Falcon next week at State of Emergency. It's going to be the biggest match of my career, student versus teacher.....mentor versus protege."

Storm takes a deep breath, and then sighs.

"I just hope Lilly know's that she has Avirez in a steel cage next week," he says with concern.

The scene closes as Storm picks up a towel and heads towards the shower in his locker room.

Part 2:

The scene opens on the living room floor of Shawn Storm's mansion. The early morning sun is shining through the sliding glass patio doors and onto the carpet. A door is heard shutting quietly in the background. SuddenlyLilly walks in the doorway quietly putting her bags down and then crawling on the couch pretending she'd been there all night. With out knowing Shawn is sitting at the table behind her enjoying a protein shake.

"Long night out?" he asks in a quiet voice.

I sighed feeling guilty. I wanted to go give him a hug, but it was my fault.

"Sorry," I said in a lower tone, "I fell asleep."

"I'm sure you was tired after a long night," he said, hinting at something more.

Lilly rolls her eyes, "I got drunk and dont remember honestly."

Shawn doesn't show any emotion as he stares straight forward, "You know I love to hear that. Sounds like the woman I love, and the woman I'm supposed to be marrying is resorting to her past. I guess it's better that it's happening now instead of after marrying you."

"To be honest with you Shawn I didnt want to come home to this," Lilly said, "and from the tone in your voice you didnt want me to come home either. Maybe I should pack my things and just go home."

Lilly puts her head down as she continued to sob. Shawn stares at her as his emotion begins to show.

"You know that's not what I want. You know I want you to stay here, and I want you to be my wife...but why do you continue to fuck this up? What am I doing wrong that is making you constantly do the wrong thing? I don't want to be full of hate and spite, but damn it you just keeping pushing me closer and closer to the edge. Do you realize that?" he asks in a voice filled with rage.

"I like Lucas, I can see the good in him," she says walking closer to Shawn, "Why can't you see that?"

"You want to know what I see? Do you really want the truth?" he asks.

She nods her head yes. "Shawn you know I love you," she said pausing.

"I think Lucas is playing you like a fiddle. He's not interested in anything more then you using you like a puppet for his own enjoyment. He's having a good time watching us fight like this. It's a good time to him Lilly. He thinks it's funny that we are at each others throats twenty-four, seven. Why the hell can't you see that?" he asks, "I bet the only thing that could make this anymore fun for Lucas would be getting you in the sack....if he hasn't already."

Lilly puts her head down as if she's guilty.

"Why can't you see that he's trying to help me?" she asks with sincerity.

"And why can't you ever tell the truth." he snaps at her.

"What did I do?" she asks.

"What haven't you done?" he replies. "You tell me your going to stay away from him....but you don't. You tell me your coming home, and again you don't. You know, I wouldn't have to act like this if you didn't force me to. Just like you wouldn't have gotten smacked on top of the head with that chair if you had stayed out of the ring."

Lilly looked at Shawn with a glare in her eyes.

"If you would have stopped," she said, "I may have had a chance in my match. Shawn don't you see what this is doing to us? It's not Lucas that's doing it, it's you and this jealousy. I'm marrying you not him."

"Your not going to blame your old habits on me." he says to her glaring back. "And if you haven't noticed, I'm not going to let this be a distraction to me. It didn't take me three minutes to Switchblade the sevenfoot neanderthawl, and pin his shoulders to the mat. Now at State of Emergency, I have to face Falcon...my mentor, and I'm going to keep my focuse on Falcon....and then just like at Come Out and Play, I'm going to turn my attention to Lucas Knight. This time I suggest you stay out of the way." Shawn grins at Lilly as he stands up from the table and walks over to the back of the couch.

Lilly stands up.

"Shawn," she says, "there's nothing you can do or say to keep me away from him. Lucas and I are friends, not just friends but he's helping me, teaching me. You're gonna have to learn to accept that or we're going to continue having problems."

"The choice was never mine....you just made it, and I guess we will continue to have problems. I don't know if you noticed it or not, but my right hand was covered in Knights blood at Come Out and Play....and with your decision being made, it's safe to say that I'll have Knights blood on my hands again." he says as he walks around the couch. "You know something, you really should take a shower....wash some of the Geo and Knight stinch off of you from Come Out and Play."

"I'm going home Shawn," she says, "I will not have this. This isnt what I wanted us to turn out to be like. You can focus with your petty little match, and quit worrying about me. You can think I fucked the whole locker room if you want but I wont have you sit here and treat me like this. I'll just have someone come get my things if thats the way you truely feel."

Shawn grabs her and wrestles her down on the couch. He holds her down and sits on her chest holding her arms down above her head. "How are you going to go home when you can't get up?" he asks laughing as he holds her down.

"You'll let me up eventually," she said, "Shawn I'm serious I want this fighting to stop."

"I'm serious to," he says as he keeps her pinned down. "Stay the hell away from Lucas, and things will go back to normal. Remember what normal is? Just you and I loving each other, and living for each other. Do you remember that? We never fought until you thought you could run around with a dickhead like Knight. So why don't you make the right decision?"

"Why cant you trust me?" she asks.

"Well you go behind my back repeatedly to see Knight. You constantly flirt with every swinging dick in the locker room. What most people are probaly asking is why am I still keeping you around?" he says as he puts out more effort to hold her down so she can't escape.

There is a long pause.

Shawn cuts her off before she can answer, "But I love you, and I hope your as trustworthy as you say you are baby."

"Excuse me?" she says struggles to get up. "Shawn I have never cheated on you..." she stops in mid sentence, "That i remember."

"Well you have sure fooled me and the viewing public. It's week in and week out your in compromising positions with differnt assclowns in the locker room. Taking a shower in Knights dressing room.....then talking about your panties with Geo....it's enough to make anyone wonder." he says as he kisses Lilly on the forehead to try and make her even more angry.

"We talked about this already," she says, "I told you dont believe everything you see, remember? What do you want me to do Shawn? Marry you tomorrow? would that help ease your mind?"

"What?" he asks as he lets her hands go.

"Just answer my question," she says, "Do you want me to marry you tomorrow? Would that make you realize that all these others are just...guys?"

"Are you serious?" he asks in shock.

"Yes," she says. "I am. What will it take Shawn?"

"Uh, well of coarse you know I want to marry you. If you want to get married tomorrow, then we should do it." he says as he gets up off of her.

"No, Shawn I dont," she says, "but i'm willing to do that if it will make you more secure. I love you baby, cant you see that?"

"Now we are right back where we started," he snaps. "I don't want to force you into it. If you don't want to get married tomorrow, then why did you even mention it."

"I'm just saying baby," she says, "it doesnt matter if it's tomorrow, or next week, i'm still marrying the one I love."

"Well I love you to, but why can't you honor what I want? Seriously, why can't you just stay the hell away from Knight? Why can't you help me for a change, and help me prepare for the mentor versus protege match?" he asks her.

"Because," she says, "I have feelings for him too that I can't deny that they are there, Shawn, I'm telling you this because I do love you. It's just when I'm with Lucas, I can be myself. We slept in the same bed last night Shawn."

"And the stupid things continue to happen, because obviously I didn't want that to happen....nor did I want to hear that shit," he says as he gets up off the couch and starts walking out of the room.

"We didnt have sex," she admits. "I'm sorry I wanted to be honest."

"Fuck you," he says as he walks out of the room. A door can be heard slamming shut.

"You already have Shawn," Lilly spat back, "please dont just walk away."

A few moments pass as Lilly puts her head down. Suddenly the door bursts open and Shawn strides back into the room, "What in the hell do you want me to do? How can I not walk away?"

"What did you expect me to do Shawn?" she asked, "sleep on the floor?"

"I expected you to be home, where you belong." he snaps at her. "How would you feel if I was sleeping at some other woman's house?"

"Shawn nothing happened!" she said pausing, "at least what I can remember. I woke up and immediately came home!"

"You know something, I really don't want to hear about." he says looking the other way. "What you can remember...." he says mocking her. "What a load of crap that is."

Lilly put her head in her hands and sobbed.

"Don't cry now. I'm sure you wasn't crying last night," he says without remorse.

Lilly stands up to leave. "I dont deserve you Shawn," she says before picking up her bags. "I do love you, honestly I do. I think you'd be better off without me. Maybe I shouldnt have come home?" she asks.

"You know I don't want that," he says. "Maybe you should go upstairs and rest. Then we can discuss what's best for both of us afterwhile. Besides, I need to go out to the gym for awhile and start training for Falcon."

Lilly put her bags down and nodded, walking past Shawn, she stops and pauses as if she's going to say something but simply looks at him then continues to walk upstairs.

The scene closes as Shawn exits the room again, with the sound of the door swinging shut bringing a close to the scene. Scene closed.

ENDING: It seems that Come Out and Play has only toren their relationship farther apart. What will happen at State of Emergency after these events? Where does Shawn and Lilly's relationship really stand at this point? You would think that as time passes by their relationship would either get stronger or fall completely apart...but it just gets cloudier week in and week out. Also, how will this effect Shawn in his match with Falcon? Last week Shawn put all the relationship problems behind him and beat a monster in Sully Sphinx in almost record time....can he once again rise to the challenge and pull off a upset over the man that tought him everything he knows?
