A Twist of Fate

[Pyro]

[Pyro is alone in his locker room smiling when he hears a knock on the door.]

Pyro: Who is it?

Lover: It’s me… Lover.

Pyro: Enter!

[Lover enters the room looking around carefully. He then looks at Pyro who is sitting on a chair.]

Lover: Are you alone?

Pyro: No, can’t you see the crowd?

[Lover looks around.]

Lover: Okay… You wanted to see me?

Pyro: Yes… Close the door!

[Lover looks at him a bit unsure but then closes the door. Pyro stands up.]

Pyro: I wanted to talk to you about our match, Lover boy.

Lover: Now... How many times have I told you not to call me…

Pyro: LISTEN TO ME WHEN I AM TALKING!

[Lover smiles.]

Lover: You ain’t scary for me, man. So keep it low, will ya?

Pyro: Okay…

[Pyro grabs Lover for the throat and lifts him from the ground. Lover starts to choke and tries to remove Pyro’s hand but is obviously unable to do so.]

Lover: Let a go, freak.

Pyro: Now listen to me carefully… I had a lot of unsuccessful matches lately. I had enough of these… I had a lot of failures and I had enough of them as well…

[Lover tries to kick Pyro in the gut but Pyro moves aside and comes closer to the wall.]

Pyro: So I want you to know one thing. I am going to win this Friday no matter what. Even if I have to choke you to death, even if I have to tear you in little pieces and mince them after that.

Lover: Hey, let a go coz…

Pyro: DO YOU HEAR ME? I’M GONNA KILL YOU IF THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN!

[Lover looks more worried about being choked to death in this very moment than being killed in the match this Friday. Then the door opens and the Sin Creatures enter the room.]

Maya: We need to talk.

[Pyro looks at her and then at Lover.]

Pyro: Can’t you see that I’m a little bit busy in the moment? Can’t it wait?

Anna: No, we need to talk now.

[Pyro lets go of Lover who falls to the ground and looks at the Sin Creatures.]

Pyro: What is it?

Maya: We think that you need a change.

[Pyro looks at them as he can’t believe what they just said and then starts laughing.]

Pyro: A change?

Anna: Yes, you need a change.

[Pyro is not even smiling anymore.]

Maya: You have to start dressing better… Change that fucked AC/DC music and get rid of the red hair.

Anna: You have to stop with all of the depressants and drinking…

Pyro: This was so important that it couldn’t wait? I’m not changing anything. Now if you excuse me I was in the middle of something…

[Pyro looks at Lover who is still on the ground having troubles breathing.]

Maya: We think that you didn’t really understand us. We are leaving you and we are not coming back until you really change.

[Pyro obviously can’t believe it.]

Pyro: And where are you going? You are nothing without me! NOTHING!

[Maya and Anna just leave the room without turning to look at him.]

Pyro: YEAH! GO BACK ON THE STREET TO DO BLOWJOBS FOR NO MONEY! YOU DO THAT BITCHES!

[Pyro shuts the door with a lot of force and then suddenly stops. He sits on the nearest chair as Lover stands up looking at him. Pyro just looks at the wall as he leans his head on his fist.]

TBC by Lover

[Mr. Lover]

[Lover carefully stands up. After he takes a deep breathe he slowly approach Pyro. Even though Pyro was really mean with Lover he couldn't leave Pyro alone right now. He takes a chair and sits on it, right next to Pyro. He lies a hand on Pyro's shoulder.]

Lover: Ummm ... Forgot about them.... Ahhh ... You don't need those two bitches to be ... Uhh yourself.

[Lover taps Pyro's shoulder on few times.]

Lover: The world is full with crazy and drugged bitches like ... Ahhh .. What were their names again?

[Lover asked acting like he already forgot their names.]

Lover: Come on man! I ... I mean it's not worthy crying for them.

[Lover said standing up and starts searching for something.]

Lover: Dude do you have Jack or Johnny somewhere here?

Pyro: Who are Jack and Johnny?

[Lover looks at him.]

Lover: You can't tell me you don't know Jack and Johnny. They are the best doctors! They can heal any pain and they can make you forgot anything you want. They are awful drivers so you need to be very careful with them...

Pyro: Lover I don't have time for your bull...

Lover: I am talking about Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker....

Pyro: Oh .....

Lover: I heard you can see them in the nearest bar and you can visit them without an appointment. Wanna go see if that's true?

[Lover ask looking at Pyro.]

Lover: It's on me.

[Pyro]

[Pyro just shakes his head.]

Pyro: You go where you want. I'm staying here.

[Pyro then turns his back to Lover and keeps staring in the empty wall.]

Lover: Ok...

[Lover hesitates for a while but then proceeds to leave the room. When he opens the door he hears Pyro's voice.]

Pyro: Hey, Lover.

[Lover turns only to see that Pyro is still looking at the empty wall.]

Pyro: Nothing has changed a single bit. I am still going to win the match this Friday and nothing can stop me so you better get yourself an appointment with these Jonny and Jack for after our match.

[Lover is about to leave when Pyro starts talking again.]

Pyro: And Lover... What I said earlier... It is as true now as it was then. If I have to kill you to win I will.

[Lover hesitates what to do for a moment.]

Pyro: Close the door on your way out.

[Lover leaves the room closing the door after himself and Pyro just keeps sitting on the chair looking at the empty wall.]
