When the show resumed, the camera was in one of the locker rooms as two women bantered back and
forth as they prepared for their upcoming match.  It was Tara Scotti and Mercedes Khani.
DINA:  See, I told you there were a couple of hotties in here.
BETHANY:  You were right; they look good enough to eat.
TARA:  Hey, only special people eat here and you are not special…..yet!
BETHANY:  Can’t wait to show you how special I am.
DINA:  Alright, cool down Beth…..don’t want you scare these two away; we’re gonna party later, aren’t
we?
MERCEDES:  Well……
BETHANY:  Uh-oh, here it comes.
DINA:  What’s wrong girls?
TARA:  Dina, we need to talk.  While it was a bit of a shock to see you and Bethany together again, it’s
not a real surprise to Mercedes and me.  After all, we know you two have history.
DINA:  And so?
TARA:  Well, we already had plans for later.
DINA:  So, invite them along….we can all have fun together.  They’ll warm up to Beth once they get to
know her.
???:  I really doubt that.

A voice came from the door and in stepped Grace Rivera.
TARA:  So, what do you think?  Should we?
MERCEDES:  I really don’t know Tara.  Maybe it would be best to just get together with her tomorrow
instead.  You know what our Latina friend would say.
TARA:  Well, Dina is our friend too, isn’t she?
MERCEDES:  Of course she is…..and I am even ready to give her friend the benefit of the doubt, but I
don’t think everybody will be so generous.

Before Tara could reply, the dressing room door swung open and a pair of beauties stood in the
doorway; it was Dina Al-Sabah and Bethany Howlett.
DINA:  Well, well….if it isn’t the mouth that roared.
GRACE:  And I love you too Dina.
DINA:  So, what’s this I hear about you and my girls hanging out.
GRACE:  Your girls?  Still think the world revolves around you, eh?  For your information, I asked Tara
and Mercedes if they wanted to go grab dinner and drinks with us after the show a week ago.
DINA:  Us?  I only see you….

Just then, two other women strolled into the dressing room; it was Christina Dzieduszycki and Jamie
Eason.

EPISODE 4
LOCATION: THE PYRAMID ARENA [MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE]
JAMIE:  Grace, are we ready yet?  Remember, Christina and I want to make that stop before we eat.
DINA:  Hey Jamie, what’s up?
JAMIE:  Oh…hey Dina……hello Bethany.
DINA:  See?  Jamie doesn’t have a problem with me.  It’s only you.
Grace turned toward Dina and Bethany and opened her mouth as if to speak; only to close it abruptly
and turn back toward Tara and Mercedes.

DINA:  C’mon Grace…..you got something to say to me……..spit it out.
GRACE:  Alright….I will.  I guess nobody else here wants to do it but I don’t have a problem telling you
what’s on my mind.
DINA:  It would be a first if you did.
GRACE:  See?  That’s what I’m talking about.  Clearly, we don’t think too highly of each other.  While I
think we respect each other’s ability in the ring, I think you think I’m too much of a loudmouth while I think
sometimes you’ve got a stick up your ass.
DINA:  Excuse me?
GRACE:  Sometimes you come off as holier-than-thou.  Hell, we came into the FWF about the same time
and quickly shot up the ranks.  We both got gold and were both in line to grab the gold from Ocean
Bloom when the fed went belly up.  Through all of it, while I may not think too much of you personally, I’ve
never lost respect for you……..until now.
DINA:  C’mon Grace…..you can speak plainer than that.  I know you’ve got plenty of hot air left in you.
GRACE:  Touché.  I just cannot believe for all your talk, you are now hanging out with HER.  After all she
has done already here in the AFW, you would choose to hang out with that whore.

Bethany moved forward but was quickly blocked by Dina who came nose to nose with Grace.

DINA:  You’re right Grace.  I do think you talk too much, but my relationship with Beth is none of your
business.
GRACE:  You’re wrong there, Ms. Terminator; it is my business.  Tara and Mercedes are two of my best
friends and would do anything to protect them.  You and blondie are definitely headed for a bad decision
and I’ll be damned if you drag them down with you.
DINA:  Tara and Mercedes are grown women….grown women who happen to be two of MY best friends.  
And if you think I would stand by while somebody tries to hurt them, you’re out of your mind.
GRACE:  You just watch yourself….and don’t get them involved in your little tiff with Heidrun; that girl is
dangerous and whatever happens, you’ll only have your skanky friend to thank for it.
DINA:  Where she goes, I go and we’ll deal with whatever we have to together.

Grace shook her head in exasperation before she headed for the door where Jamie and Christina were
waiting.  Before she left, the Lethal Latina shot another serious look at Dina and Bethany before the trio
headed off down the hallway.  Silence held sway in the locker room for a few seconds before Tara spoke.

TARA:  Well, I guess it would be useless to invite you two to join us now, huh?
DINA:  Don’t sweat it darling.  We can party tomorrow night…...after all, we’ll have a couple of
spectacular wins to celebrate, right?
TARA:  Damn straight!

Dina then hugged both Tara and Mercedes before she and Bethany headed for the door.  The Desert
Diva waved goodbye and then disappeared down the hall.  Bethany however, hovered in the doorway for
a second before she spoke.

BETHANY:  I don’t know what you two really think of me and I guess I have given most everyone reason
to hate me, but know this; I would have somebody cripple me before I see anybody hurt Dina….…and
that’s the truth.

With that, the sexy blonde disappeared down the hallway leaving behind Tara and Mercedes to get ready
for their match.
