The scene opened in what appeared to be some kind of classroom. Painting easels were set up around the room. Angelina and Velvet walked into the room which had filled up rather quickly. Angelina looked around the room at unfamiliar faces and raised an eyebrow inquisitively at Velvet.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Where the hell did you bring me? Art class?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Sort of. It's called the Paint Cellar.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Okay... uh.. and why am I here, exactly?

Velvet shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as the two made their way to their seats. Both women sat down before Velvet responded.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: I figured maybe this would help you relax. You've been pretty on edge lately and I thought you could wind down a little. And since you didn't take my suggestion of getting laid, I figured this would be the next best thing to try.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: I'm not on edge. I am perfectly fine, thank you. I have serious matters to attend to, I don't get to slack off all the time like some people...

Angelina eyed Velvet as she said that. Velvet rolled her eyes and mumbled something inaudible under her breath. A dark haired woman took the stage at the front of the classroom. The middle aged woman cleared her throat and began to speak.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Hello everyone, let me first introduce myself to you. I am Ms. Garcia. Thank you all for coming to Paint Cellar, I'm so glad you gave us a chance. This is a great place to explore your creativity. You may even discover that you're the next Picasso. You never know.

The teacher half chuckled, her small attempt at being funny and trying to lighten the mood. Half the people in the room seemed to give a pity laugh. The middle aged instructor smirked before she turned her attention to the easel behind her.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been painting for over 20 years and I've even found a deep passion in art. Once I discovered my passion for it, I have never been able to turn away. I hope to see the same in some of you here. Now today I am going to teach you a few little tricks to creating a fun, easy, and creative painting.

Angelina looked over at Velvet and made a motion like she was going to make herself vomit.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Just give it a shot. It's something different.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: I could be doing actual work right now. This in no way benefits me for my match at Christmas Eve of Destruction.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: I disagree.

The teacher continued to babble on up front, but neither girl was really paying any attention.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Shows what you know. Look, I appreciate you trying to help, but I have this under control. I know what I need to do.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Are you actually admitting that you have to prepare for someone in a match? I thought you never did...

Velvet said the last part with sarcasm. Angelina rolled her eyes and shook her head.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Vel, most of them I don't. No. However, I can admit that that little troll, AJ Lee, has gotten lucky in a few matches in the past. So I am trying to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Especially not at the PPV.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Now that I showed you a few short tutorials, I would now like all of you to pick up your brushes and paint a picture. It can be whatever you want it to be. After we're all done, we can go around and share about what we painted. Any questions?

The teacher looked around the room. No one raised a hand or spoke up.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Alright and there doesn't appear to be any questions. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's make art!

The teacher swung her arms around enthusiastically as she spoke, trying her best to bring energy to everyone in the room. Some of the people bought into it, but the other half did not. Certainly not Angelina, who scowled at the woman from over the top of the easel. Velvet smacked Angelina's upper arm to break her glare.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: You heard the lady, paint something. Just try it.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: I'm not exactly the artsy type. I kick people's asses for a living and that's about all I do. I don't draw, or play an instrument, and I certainly don't paint like some Preschool kid. Is this what you normally do?

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: I've never done this. I thought it would be something different. Now paint.

Angelina huffed and picked up the paint brush. She looked over the different colors of paints for a few moments. Then she looked up at the blank canvas. Velvet had already started whatever picture she had in mind. Angelina pursed her lips, not really sure where to start.

jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Having trouble thinking of something?

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: No, I think I got something...

Angelina began to work on the blank canvas. Velvet smiled, glad her tag team partner seemed to be having some fun with this. After some time had passed, all the students in the room seemed to be done with their paintings. A few of them eagerly shared at the front of the classroom. Some boasted about their family, or how it was Christmas time, or even painting some sunset on some made up beach. Velvet walked to the front and showed her painting. She had decided on animals, she was a huge animal lover. Two cats laid side by side in her painting. She went on and on about her two cats at home, and the painting was to remind her of them, and how much she missed them on the road. After she left the stage, Ms. Garcia spoke up.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: I believe we only have you left.

The paint instructor pointed right at Angelina. Angelina sighed and grabbed the painting. She carried it to the front and looked out at all the faces staring back at her.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: So you painted a girl, in a wrestling ring? What does this mean?

Angelina smirked and cleared her throat.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: It's not quite finished just yet.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: So, who is this girl? Your daughter?

Angelina burst out laughing. She slapped her hand against the podium and continued to laugh. Once she could contain herself, she spoke up once more.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Hell no! Although I could see the assumption, she does look twelve.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: So... who is she?

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: My opponent.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Opponent? For what?

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: I kick peoples faces in for a living. Hence the wrestling ring. You see, this little twerp is AJ Lee. I see your looks of confusion. No worries, she's really not a big deal at all, so I can understand why none of you seem to know who she is.

One girl at the back of the room raised her hand before she spoke.

art.student;;random.girl: I know who AJ Lee is!! She's my favorite Diva in EBWF!

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: You're delusional. She's a psychopath, who should be thrown behind bars, and have the key destroyed forever. That girl is one beer short of a six pack, she has a screw loose, she's off her rocker... which ever of those you prefer.

art.student;;random.girl: That's not true, she-

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: SHUT UP AND SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!!!

Angelina's sudden outburst made the room of people jump.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Now that I have your attention.

art.instructor;;ms.garcia: Ma'am, please don't-

Angelina turned and almost hissed at the woman. The art instructor stopped in her tracks.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Don't make me kick your teeth out like I've done to so many others. I am not done talking. Now everyone shut the fuck up and show some respect to the Women's champion!!

Angelina huffed out at the audience.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: You see, this little bitch is going down on Sunday. She may like to skip around the ring and make wacky little jokes, but none of that is going to matter at Christmas Eve of Destruction. She is NOT worthy of being near MY title. She doesn't even deserve to stand in the ring with someone like me. So, I am going to make her life a real nightmare before Christmas.

Angelina laughed and pointed back at the drawing of AJ Lee and the EBWF ring.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: She thinks that she is going to take my precious title from me. She truly believes that she can get the job done where so many have failed. Well let me tell you, AJ has no idea what is in store for her this weekend. I am going to make her life hell! I will make her bleed for all of her sins, including her setting her eyes on my championship. I am going to leave her in a bloody pulp when I'm done with her. You see, EBWF Christmas came early for me. They are allowing me to dip my hands in glue, then in glass for my match.

The audience gasped in shock at the mental image.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Isn't is fucking fantastic?! I will use this opportunity to make this bitch bleed within an inch of her pathetic life. I will scrape the flesh off of her face with the glass on my hands. It will look like she skipped right into a meat grinder when I'm finished with her. Then I will shove my title in her bloody face to further prove my point. That I am the BEST!

Angelina grabbed a paint can full of red paint. She tossed it at the painting and laughed.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love:Blood!

She laughed even more. The room of people began to look at one another in concern.

lauren.williams;;angelina.love: There will be so much BLOOD!!

Angelina's maniacal laugh filled the room quickly. She smeared the red all over the canvas and continued to laugh. Velvet made a b-line for the front of the room and grabbed her partner. Velvet hurried her out of the room, completely embarrassed. She mouthed an apology to the instructor who stood there with her mouth agape. Velvet shut the door after she pushed Angelina out of the room, and the scene faded out. All the while, Angelina's laugh could be heard down the halls.
