The FAWN arena darkened as unfamiliar music blasted though the speakers and the crowd buzzed with curiosity.

The light shone on the curtains, revealing a familiar silhouette that raised a murmur throughout those assembled. Then the curtains drew apart and the crowd burst into cheers as their favorite babyface Asian, the high-flying Estrina Starfire made her return to FAWN! Clad in white tank-top and dark jeans, the Celestial Stunner saluted the throng, then raced down the ramp like a gladiator. Reaching the apron via a single nimble leap from the floor, she grabbed the top rope in both hands and vaulted into the ring looking like she hadn’t missed a beat during her absence. The FAWNatics got that much louder when Starfire climbed the corner and raised her finger into the air, slowly directing it to the crowd and finished with a knowing wink. Thousands of camera flashes burst out in the darkness, all wanting to capture a bit of the renewed Estrina Starfire.
ESTRINA STARFIRE:
The music soon faded and the arena lit up as she received the microphone from the ringside staff.
After tapping the mic with one finger and a few deep breaths, the brunette said, “So it looks like I’m back.” She would’ve continued if not for another raucous outburst from her supporters. When it died down, she went on. “First, I want to thank you all, my fans, my supporters and everyone watching here in the arena and at home right now. Not just for the reception tonight, but for giving me the courage and strength to return into this very ring, where I endured the worst beating and humiliation of my professional career.”
The FAWNatics jeered a reminder of that dark moment, then soothed their spirits with a ’WELCOME BACK!’ chant that in turn brought a smile to Estrina’s face.
“Second, I need to apologize to my fans for letting you see me in such a sorry state. I’m sure most of you were worried when I got carried out of here by medics and EMT’s. It was rough, I’m not going to lie, but I’m out here to promise you that that is the LAST time you’ll ever see me leave on anything other than my own two feet!”
This proclamation raised a loud roar from the sold out crowd.
“Third, I’ve recovered faster than expected and the doctor has cleared me to wrestle! I’ve been training under the advice of the best medical team FAWN has to offer and I feel stronger than ever before! I can’t wait to get back in this ring and wrestle, not just for me, but for you guys!””
The fans lent boisterous vocal approval to Starfire’s plan.
“Which brings me to my final point. At FAWN--”
She said ‘amania’ alas it was overwhelmed by the speakers, that started in on ‘Bullet in my Hand’

A wall of boos rained down as Claudia Rooney emerged from backstage with microphone in hand. Clad in her black ’SHHHHHHH!’ tee-shirt and faded red denim cut-offs, Claudia put a finger to her lips to silence the music and the unruly throng.
CLAUDIA ROONEY:
When the latter faded to an acceptably dull roar, she said, “Congratulations on your return, my little Celestial Cockroach.”
Estrina glared daggers at her nemesis as Rooney started her way to the ring.
“You know, I‘ve been wondering. When did FAWN turn into a recycling plant? Because it seems to me all they do these days is bring back the TRASH I’ve disposed of over and over and over again. Was there a memo that I missed? Or do just get some sort of special dispensation because you’re supposed to be such hot shyt over on the other side of the world?”
Claudia paused, hopped up onto the apron and watched Starfire for a few seconds before dipping between the ropes.
“Don’t get me wrong. You do look a HELLUVA lot better than the last time I saw you… but I can still see the failure lurking under the spiffy new paintjob. Hell, I can smell it coming off of you in waves! Truth is, you’re the same trash you’ve always been and if you keep getting all up in my business I might have to let management know I broke their shytty little investment once and for all.”
Estrina snarled, took a few steps forward, then stopped when Rooney took a few steps back. “Funny you should mention management, Claudia. I spoke to them earlier today and they were VERY interested in, what did you call me? Oh yes, their shytty little investment had to say.
“Let me guess, you’ve signed on as Yuko Ogura’s intern.” Claudia asked, deadpan.
“Not a chance, sweetie. I suggested that you and I go at it one more time… at Fawnamania!”
The crowd cheered wildly, but the Silent Siren only sighed. “That’s… anticlimactic, to be polite.” Rooney replied. “Did all that head trauma make you forget what I did to you the last time we went one on one?”
Estrina shook her head ‘no’. “You should be so lucky, Claudia. No, I remember every bit of what you did to me. Which is why I asked for and received… a Last Woman Standing Match!” Starfire smiled prettily as the crowd went nuts and Claudia’s eyes went wide.
The Whist Warrior composed herself almost at once. Smiling once more she said, “You sure that’s what you want, Lite Brite? You can spin most any other loss I hang around your neck, but Last Woman Standing leaves no room for excuses.”
“I know, that’s why I asked for it. What’s the problem…scared?
“Of the piece of shyt I’ve already embarrassed on more than one occasion?” Rooney scoffed. “Hardly. I don’t usually savor ending someone’s career, but this would be the perfect opportunity to finish you off before your mediocrity can escape to infect the rest of FAWN.”
Apparently done, the redhead lowered her mic and turned away only to whirl around and lunge at Estrina, who promptly hopped back with a Super Kick at the ready!
Claudia hit the brakes, looked her rival up and down and said, “See you at Mania, asshole.”
Estrina said nothing so Rooney tossed the mic aside and bailed through the ropes to the floor. The fans were cheering her name again, but Starfire kept her attention on Claudia, just in case the other woman tried another sneak attack. “Enjoy walking away now, baby.” she said under her breath. “Later tonight you won’t get the chance.”
