center damn it!

�I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.� --Rebecca West, 1913

You know it�s very sad when a woman who has an open mind and voices her opinions is automatically labelled a feminist, honestly that really wasn�t my intent when I came to this federation, but that is what I have become. I suppose there are worse things to be called in this day and age then a feminist, though I�m really tired of all the isims that exist in today� but I digress.

So Trevin, I can�t believe I missed this before, but then again I was never really felt that you were worth paying attention to, it would seem that little Trevin cannot seem to exist without his precious chair. You know the one that you walk to the ring with� I wonder Trevin, does it have a name? I must admit I have a few toys of my own� one of which I call Mr. Pointy�

I wonder, would you be able to perform as well as you have thus far if we took away all your little toys? Seems to me that a REAL man would be able to take care of a tiny woman like myself with his bare hands. Seth seems to be able to, I know that you all like to refer to him as a child, but he is the only real man I have met thus far in this federation.

Hopefully you�ll eventually be able to join the big boys soon and be able to get through a match without your security blanket, or chair as the case may be.

You know what the most pathetic thing is? It�s that I have been wanting be treated as though I was any other competitor, you know not just being segregated as a woman� and by default I�m being asked to be treated like a guy who can�t enter the ring without his favourite toy, believe me in this case hind sight really is 20-20.

The scene fades in from black with Seth Chaos and Drusilla back in their hotel room lying together on the bed, though Seth seems to have a slightly concerned look on his face that Drusilla finally calls him on.

Drusilla: What�s bothering you love?

Seth: You know I�m having a great time with you here, but I�m worried about your match with Sands.

Drusilla: What exactly are you worried about?

Seth: Well, he has had some brutal matches in the past, and I�m worried that you might get really hurt.

Drusilla sighs and turns to face Seth, so that she is looking right into his eyes.

Drusilla: You really don�t need to worry about me Seth, I want this match to be as brutal as it can be, how else am I going to prove that I belong here?

Seth seems slightly confused about her comments,

Seth: What do you mean?

Drusilla: I am one of the only women in this fed, if I want to draw any attention to what it is that I�m working for, I need this match to be vicious.

Seth: I understand what you mean, but the last thing that I want is to see you hurt, I don�t want to see you end up in the hospital again, I don�t want to go through what I did last month.

Drusilla hugs Seth tightly,

Drusilla: I promise, I will take care of myself, but this is still something that need to do. I need to prove that I am as much of a competitor as anyone else here. If a match with Trevin Sands is what it takes, then I�m in for the long haul.

Seth returns her affection and kisses her gently on the forehead,

Seth: I love you, and I don�t want to see anything happen to you.

Drusilla: Relax, I�ll be alright. Now can we focus on something else?

Drusilla looks to the balcony and can see the lights of Athens at night illuminate the night sky.

Drusilla: Look where we are, I�ve always wanted to see Greece at night, why don�t we go for a walk?

Seth nods and the two pull on some casual clothes and walk out of the hotel. The scene changes as the two walk in Syntagma Square which is illuminated and there are several local artists showing off their work. Drusilla takes a few coins out of her pocket and gives them to one of the artists that have been working on a sidewalk drawing.

Artist: Thank you madam (translated from Greek)

Drusilla nods and the two continue to enjoy the sights in the downtown square.

Drusilla: See now isn�t this better?

Seth: Yes, but I can�t help but worry about you.

Drusilla: I know, but how about this? Worry about me on Monday, tonight just enjoy the sights and the calm night.

The two continue and find themselves at the Plaka shops, all illuminated with a great view of the Parthenon light up brightly at the top of the hill which it sits. The two browse the shops briefly, seeing if there was anything that suited their fancy. Drusilla finds a lovely necklace with the symbol of Aphrodite in silver, she pays for it and places it around her neck.

Drusilla: What do you think?

Seth: You have always been my love goddess.

Drusilla smiles coyly and playfully pushes Seth back and mischievously runs out of the shop, and stops once outside of the shopping area. It doesn�t take long for Seth to catch up with her and he grabs her around the waist, lifts her up and spins her around twice then pulls her into a deep kiss.

Seth: Promise me that you will take care of yourself on Monday,

Drusilla: I promise.

Seth: Now tell me that you love me.

Drusilla: I love you Seth, you know that.

Seth: I know I just needed to hear it.

Drusilla: Come on, lets go back to the hotel and I�ll show you how much of a love goddess I am.

Seth smiles widely and they both rush back to the hotel.

I hope you know Trevin I have not gotten this far with my looks, and although I�ve been told that I�m really cute, I never counted on my looks to get by. So by all means, don�t feel that you need to preserve them, I won�t be upset if you don�t.

So again I say, I look forward to our match on Monday.

Fade to Black.
