Team Desire vs. The European Fiery Nation

[Team Desire]

Katie Steward | "Her Faithful"

Los Angeles, California, Katie drives her Porsche around the streets of LA. She drives up to her church. Pulling into the parking lot and pulling into her reserved spot. She gets out of the car. Walking to the front doors of the church to go inside, but she can't. The doors are locked. Katie tries to pull the door open a couple more times thinking it must be a mistake. The doors don't budge.

"What in Goddess Heaven is this? Where is TJ? I need to talk to him." Katie said to herself as she stood out in front of her church. She takes out her phone and calls him to find out where he is.

"Hello, Katie?" TJ says on the other end, sounding surprised to hear from her. He hadn't heard from her in months since she tried to run off.

"TJ, where are you? I need to talk to someone. Everything is very confusing right now." Katie seemingly cried out.

"I'm just hanging out at Steward's Place. You can come pick me up." TJ tells Katie where he's at, but Katie is very confused.

"What? You're at my place? I didn't see you there. I just left." Katie tells him.

"No. Not your place. "Steward's Place." TJ tries telling her again.

"I don't understand. You're at my sister's? Why are you at Jessica's place? TJ!" Katie starts to get upset at TJ's unintental cryptedness.

"No, Katie. I'll text you the address. Just come over." TJ tells Katie he'll see her soon as he ends the call.

Katie holds her phone in her hand. She starts to walk back to her car. Her phone buzzes, receiving the message of where she needs to pick him at it.

"Well luckily for him that is not Jessica's address."



West Hollywood, Katie's Porsche pulls up to the address that TJ had texted. She gets out and checks out the outside of the bar that's sign reads "Steward's Place." Katie walks into the bar and restaurant and meets with TJ inside.

"TJ, what did you do?" Katie says to TJ who has a smile on his face seeing her surprised look.

"Do you like it? It's a little something I've been working on for the last couple of months. A nice traditional Irish restaurant in West Hollywood. I thought you would like it." TJ tells Katie about the restaurant.

"TJ, this is incredible." Katie looks around and seeing a lot of her memorabilia around from her movies and wrestling.
"What can I say? I had some free time and my laptop." TJ tells her.

Katie again hears it. TJ said it was something he was doing for a couple of months. He had some free time. While Katie was gone for a few months leaving TJ by himself. THis is what he was doing. Doing something to honor her legacy.

"Damn it, TJ." an upset Katie tells him as she starts to cry.

Katie disappeared on everyone. Thinking it's what was best. So she wouldn't hurt anyone with her crazy ideas. She didn't know if she would have came back. She would've never seen this if Gigi or the Brats had found her. She walks past TJ leading to the restroom to hide.

About 30 minutes later, Katie steps back out of the restroom. She's put herself back together and ready to face TJ. She doesn't have to go too far since he is standing right there waiting for her.

"TJ!" Katie jumps back being startled by him.

"Is everything ok, Katie? You seem bothered." TJ tells her.

"Yes, TJ. I told you on the phone earlier that things were very difficult right now and I need to talk." TJ hears Katie and he holds out his arm and leads her towards the back.

"Ok, we can talk in the office." Katie and TJ walk back into the office. Katie finds the chair and takes a seat while TJ sits on the desk.

"I'm guessing this is about where you've been the last few months?" TJ questions her.

"I'm sorry, TJ. I didn't mean to abandon you or anyone. I just needed to get away. I ruined so much with the power that had consumed me. I just couldn't deal with it." Katie pours out her soul to him. Gigi ended up finding me. We fought. Then the Autumn found me and brought me to trial and they agreed to give me what I wanted. We disbanded and I'm not allowed to see them anymore."

"The Brats are not together anymore? So Paris won't be around anymore to bully me?" TJ naturally figuring out the most important piece of the story.

"Now I get to come back to this. Something so beautiful and I don't deserve it. Gigi is mad at me. The Brats are gone. I need to be punished for my past sins, not rewarded." Katie explains to TJ the results of what happened after her disappearance.

"Ok, that's a lot. I didn't know any of that. I'm sorry that this is all too much for you." TJ tries to apologize.

"No, don't do that. You're not the one that needs to apologize. This is all really beautiful. It's just the feeling of everything going back to normal and I just can't do that." Katie says slouching back in the chair.

TJ sits on the edge of the desk and his head lowered. He thinks about Katie' story. He wants to respect her wishes, but he doesn't want to take her route of punishing her for the things she's done.

"I'm sorry Katie that everything that's happened and it's left you broken. Whatever you want to do, I'll go along with it, but for now. I have a restaurant to run." TJ stands up and offers his hand to help Katie up. They walk out of the office and TJ is ready to show her what the place looks like running.

TJ turns and finds a family sitting at the table to help. Katie walks over to the bar and takes a seat and watches.



After midnight, "Steward's Place" is closed and Katie and TJ leave the restaurant heading back to Katie's car.

"Is it always that busy?" Katie asks.

"You slap 'authentic' ' across something and the people are interested. Traditional Irish hits Southern Californians ears." TJ explains the restaurant popularity strategy.

.Katie smiles looking happy for the first time tonight. Her phone rings. She puts it out and answers the Unknown Number. She says "Hello" and nothing. The call ended in a few seconds.

"Who was that?" TJ asked.

"I have no idea. Just an unknown caller. Probably the wrong number." Katie tells him as the two of them get into her car.

"Ok, so I know you don't want things back to normal for you, but what are you planning on doing tomorrow?" TJ questions Katie as she starts up her car. She sits there and thinks over the answer. What is next for Katie Steward?

“What is next for Katie Steward? Well it’s simple. To continue my path of redemption. To give back through expressing my own creative work into making this year's Rise to Greatness XX the most spectacular show in its history. Of course, SCW as their usual selves are being very difficult to work with. Supplying only the amateurish wooden talent that they can find for me to work with on this project. It’s ok though. I can handle this. All the great directors had their struggles putting their masterpieces together. I’m no different from them. I just got to work through it. Speaking on that subject SCW continuing their uselessness is giving Gigi and I more wooden blocks to work with on Breakdown with the European Fiery Nation. I didn’t even know they hired a bunch of soccer hooligans to compete in the tag team division. Of course they did and of course they thought pitting them against a strong team like Gigi and I was a good idea.”

“Now I know people listen to Gigi and they see she is going through some things. Everything is fine. We are a team and we’re going to do this together. We’re going to achieve our dream of the tag team championship. So no up and coming team like Chance and Kelsai or sports fans like Fiery Nation is going to cut in front of us this time. That’s why I’m taking Rise to Greatness so seriously. Because my story is that important.”

“So SCW, please. For the love of the Goddess! Give me someone that can act so I can direct my masterpiece for you!”
