The efed...a concept that allows all people to live the lives of the superstars of the squared circle. Living vicariously as you push them to the edge and back. One such federation is on the screen of a laptop that rests on the tray of Victoria as she and Steven are driving to the next show. Using a mobile connection, Victoria is looking in on an efed that she has joined for something to do on the long drives. She has joined as herself. And this night, Stevie is driving as Victoria starts to laugh after reading something on the screen.

Victoria, The Psychotic Bitch I can't believe this is how people see me Steven. As a demented fool that is nothing but a jealous psycho...

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager But babe, you are a demented jealous psycho...

Victoria reaches across to the driver's side and hits Steven a punch on the shoulder. She pulls back and puts her feet on the dash as she settles back to read the different promos. She reads about the match she is involved in. A triple threat that pits her against a character named Passion and another called Avril Chase. How ironic, a match somewhat like the match she has to participate in on her way to winning the title in XRW. Letting her fingers pull her hair lightly, she thinks of what she is going to do and what she is going to say about this. Realizing that she can make this a promo for her match in XRW, she takes off her seat belt and climbs over the seat to rummage in the backseat.

Victoria, The Psychotic Bitch Where is that damn thing...Steven...where is the camera?

Steven checks in the rearview mirror to see Victoria's ass over the seat and smirks.

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager I think it is in the blue carryon.

Victoria finds it and then climbs back to the front seat.

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager What are you doing?

Victoria, the Psychobitch I am going to do this promo, thinking out loud and who knows, maybe I could use this for XRW when I am finished. Wait til you hear what this match is in this fed...I face Passion and Avril Chase...sounds like someone really likes the XRW but are too scared to use their real names,Desire and April Hunter. Hell, they use the XRW pictures of Desire and April Hunter as their characters pictures. And they say that I am weird. At least I do my character true to life...

That was true, in her psychotic way, Victoria played herself out. Steven had seen some of her rps and they actually scared him since she used him in the roleplays as well. And she wasn't to easy on him either.

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager Well have fun with it Vickie babe...don't mind me, I am just the chauffeur.

Victoria doesn't hear him as she has her tongue stuck between her lips as she begins to type on the keyboard. Suddenly as she types, she starts to speak, the camera getting every word.

Victoria, the Psychobitch "The scene opens on a pair of people watching training tapes of two women in the federation. Passion and Avril Chase. On one side is a bowl of popcorn that the man is pulling handfuls out of as the woman is curled up in the corner, mangling a pillow in her hands as she watches the screen intently, her fingers of her left hand letting go to tangle in her hair." How does that sound Stevie? ~she turns to the camera~ And when I talk about Passion and Avril Chase, I am talking about Desire and April Hunter. Think that people will get that Stevie?

Stevie nods, as he checks to see if he can pass the big rig in front of him. Victoria goes back to typing, again, speaking out loud as she types.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Victoria says... "Look Steven, those two are just pawns in the games that real divas play. Being put against the PsychoDiva, ME! They think that they are going to be getting the better of the one woman that shines brighter than any woman here in the federation. The only thing that they are going to get the better of is the back of my hand and then a nice little laydown in the middle of the ring to look at the pretty little ringlights above them." Hmmm...Does that sound okay...

She looks over at Steven who is driving and not seeming to listen. Snapping her fingers in front of his face, she tells him to pay attention as she glares then goes back to writing.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Then I could say something along the lines of... "First we have Passion, Every man's passion," God she is played so damn much like Desire, it isn't funny. "Passion who can't seem to keep her mind on a match and not on who is lucky enough this week to have her in their desires and bed. Pathetic really when you think that if she put half as much time into wrestling as she does into sex, she would be a champion about now." Oooooo...getting nasty.

Victoria starts to grin evilly as she moves to type some more.

Victoria, the Psychobitch What to say next...hmmm "She may be every man's passion but all she is to me is a stepping stone on the way to my title. I have walked all over women like her on my way to the top and who does she think she is to step in my way. I will definitely show her who is the top Diva in this federation. Passion thinks that she can step into the ring with me and play with the big girls...well little girl, I am going to show you that you don't mean anything. To the fans, to the people backstage, and especially to me. I am going to beat you like the little sniveling princess you are and you have two options from that...to take it, and like it." This is fun Steven, almost like rehearsing what I could say in a promo myself. Steven...are you listening?

Steven Richards nodded absentmindedly as he watched traffic, weaving back and forth as he sees oncoming traffic that is preventing him from getting in front of the truck. Victoria silently seethes but she just gives a toss of her head and then turns back to writing.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Now to go after April Hunter...I mean Avril Chase..."And as for you Avril, talking like you are all that. So what if you have done Playboy, so what if you have the best bustline money can buy. All that proves is that a drop toe hold won't hurt because your face wouldn't even hit the canvas. You know, just a suggestion here but...you could rent yourself out as a floatation device if this wrestling career doesn't take off." Now what...

Thinking, Victoria toys with the laptop as Stevie revs the car and speeds out beside the big rig then passes it, getting into his lane just in front of a car speeding towards them. Victoria had seen it coming and let out an unholy scream as she reached for her head, her fingers tangling and twisting in her long dark hair.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Steven Richards, you ever try that again, so help me you are going to regret it!!

Steven cringed as Victoria's voice almost went supersonic. He didn't reply to her because he didn't want to aggravate her more. He focused on his driving as she caught her breath. Shooting the odd glare at Steven, she went back to her roleplay.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Now before I was almost killed...what was I saying? Oh yeah... "Avril, I watch as you flaunt your assets and say that you are on the chase for the title. That is all well and good, but you see, you have one major obstacle to face before you can get to that exalted position and that is the woman that is going to put you down and put you down hard with the widows peak. That's right Avril, I am going to show you just why it is that I am the one true diva that is the only person that should or rather will win the title and wear it around this waist." *Victoria rubs her stomach with one hand, emphasizing the position that the belt would be resting in on her waist as she tangles her other hand in her long dark curls.* "So you two little girls better be ready. Because I am going to be bringing my best. And psycho or not, you won't stand a chance against me. It is my destiny to wear the title and I will. Now that isn't a threat, that little girls is a promise!" There, that sounds good doesn't it? ~She waits a moment for Steven to say something but when he doesn't, she replies to herself.~ Yes it does Victoria, you have your character down pat. You are going to go far in this efed, yes you are...

The scene fades out on Steven passing another truck, Victoria typing fast into the laptop as she continues her rant against Passion and Avril Chase.

Scene: McDonald's drive thru

Day: Friday, 11 June, 2004

Time: 11:30 pm

They had been driving most of the day and night towards Ground Zero. Lunch was a distant memory as is the snack at dinnertime to save time. With a good nights sleep not too far away, the car carrying Steven Richards and Victoria pulls into a brightly lit restaurant parking lot, the familiar yellow arches lit up. Turning sharply, Steven moves the car into the drive thru and opens the window at the speaker. The two are studying the menu as a teenager's breaking voice is heard coming over the squawky speaker box.

McDonald's drive thru attendant, Who's Lovin' It Hi, welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order

Taking a breath, Steven leans out of the car window and starts ordering.

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager Yeah...I want a McChicken with extra mayo, large rootbeer and...hang on... ~turns to Victoria~ What do you want babe?

McDonald's drive thru attendant, Who's Lovin' It Would you like fries with that?

Victoria glares at the speaker, tangling and twisting her fingers together.

Victoria, the Psychobitch I want the chicken caesar salad with a bottle of water...

McDonald's drive thru attendant, Who's Lovin' It Would you like fries with that?

Victoria and Steven both look at the speaker box with looks of wonder on their faces. Victoria sneers as she puts on a whiny teenage voice.

Victoria, the Psychobitch Nooooo, we don't want fries with that...

Steven Richards, Deranged Manager You know Vic...fries sound good...

Victoria growls as she glares at Steven who is ordering fries with his meal.

McDonald's drive thru attendant, Who's Lovin' It That will be 14.73, please drive up to the first window.

Steven pulls his head back into the car and puts it into gear as they drive up to the first window. The teenaged boy in braces and a goofy hat, opens the window and leans out to take the money. He recognizes the two in the car and pulls back into the restaurant to yell something to people inside. Leaning out again, he smiles a smile full of metal as he starts to gush at Victoria.

McDonald's drive thru attendant, Who's Lovin' It Wow man, like we are your biggest fans here Victoria. Like can we have your autograph? Better yet, can you come in here? Nah wait...You probably are busy and all...But can you tell me... ~The rest of the crowd behind him adds "and us"~ about what you are going to do in your match against April Hunter and Desire?

Victoria smiles as Steven just rolls his eyes. Victoria undoes her seat belt and leans over Steven who lets out an ouufff as she elbows him in the ribs.

Victoria, the Psychobitch You are right about not coming in but I will tell you that Ground Zero is going to be a very painful night for Desire and April Hunter. You see, this is for the tournament to crown a women's title holder and well, we both know that I am the one that should wear that title so I have to do a little damage to those two women to get there. But they will try to get some offense in and they just might get lucky to manage to slow me down but nothing is going to stop me from my rightful destiny...

The employees standing in the small room of the first window start a Victoria chant. A buzzing sound can be heard over the speaker as other cars in the drive thru are honking to be served. Victoria shoots a look of annoyance at them then turns towards the window.

Victoria, the Psychobitch We have to go, so pay the man Stevie.

Steven looks at Victoria who has moved back to her seat. She is buckling up as Stevie pulls out a wallet and pays for the food. Driving forward, they are handed two bags and a tray of drinks out the window by another teenager, this one a girl that smiles at Steven who smiles back. Victoria catches it but doesn't say a thing, just tangles her fingers in her hair as they pull out of the lot and into traffic towards a Motel 6 just down the road. climbing out of the car after they have gotten their room, the two weary travellers head into the room and flop on the bed. Opening the bags from McDonalds, Stevie hands Vickie her salad then pulls the soggy and now cold McChicken and fries out of the bag. Victoria pulls out her warm salad and turns to look at Steven who has a look of disgust on his face.

Victoria, the Psychobitch This salad is warm..no thanks to your burger...and I bet your burger isn't so hot...Whadda ya say we order some pizza instead?

Steven nods gratefully as he picks up the phone book to call for pizza. Victoria meanwhile gets the laptop open and logged on, checking on the efed she is in to see if anyone else had posted.
