ACT 12: The Bedroom

The light is at first glowing on the two lovers still asleep in the bed. The faint sound of knocking is in the distance from not the hotel room door but from that to the bedroom. It gets louder, almost frantic, as Ric Flair finally stirs. There's a siren in the distance and the knocking is finally loud as Flair bolts up. Amy is pacing around in the main room of Joy's hotel room.

She tries to fiddle with the locked knob but she's frantic, almost crying, "Joy? Joy…" Flair is putting on his search when Joy wakes up, he quickly puts a finger on his lips then to hers. "Joy, it's Amy, why is the door locked?"

"I didn't know it was locked."

"Open the door, I need you."

Joy goes for the knob but Flair stops her and she whispers, "Are you afraid too now?"

"What?" Amy asks.

Joy speaks louder, "Just a sec."

Flair whispered, "Eric will help, I'll go talk to him. You meet me at his hotel room." In the main room, Amy knew she heard voices but aren't sure whose they are or what they're saying.

"Ok, got it." Joy turns back to the situation at hand. "Coming Amy."

Flair kissed her, "Hurry." He scrambled out the window as Joy fixed her clothes and wrapped her robe around herself.

In the other room, Amy had moved away from the door, standing staring coldly at it as Joy fiddles with the knob, "Did you see Kurt Angle? He was here before but he left so upset that I think he may be." She opened the door and saw Amy's look. They pause for a moment, then Amy shoves her aside and looks at the bed, then the window, then turns accusingly to Joy. She sighs, "Alright, so now you know then…"

Amy speaks viciously with furry, "And you still don't know, Flair is one of them!" The bitter diva began to sing:

A boy like that who'd kill your friend
Forget that young man and find a new
He's from the opposing side
Just stick to your brand and stay true
A boy like that will only give you sorrow
A boy like that will only give you pain
Don't worry you'll have a new man tomorrow
And then the cycle will start again
A boy who kills can't love
A boy whose a fighter won't rise above
A boy who has no heart can't be right for you
Get it into your head, you're too smart to
A boy like that only wants one thing
And when he's done he'll run away
He'll murder those you love like he did mine
It's about time you knew what I say
Just wait and see
Just wait Joy
Just you wait and see

"Oh no, Amy, no. No!" Joy began to sing:

It isn't true not for me
He's the one for me
As you will soon see
I hear your words
They've gone in my head
But get it through yours
I do as I please
I know I'm smart
But Amy in my heart
I know what eyes don't see
We are in love
Ric's a lover not a fighter
We shall bring tranquility
But even my heart
Knows it's all wrong
I'm head over heels
For I'm head strong
He won't leave me alone
That I do know
We belong together
For now and forever
I don't care who he is
Sided or what brand he's on
I do care that we are together
I hope you'll know what I've known all along
No Amy you should know better
You were in love yourself as you said
You know all to well what I'm feeling
For love you'll do anything even end up dead
I have a love
And he has me
Right or wrong
What else can I do
I'm everything to him
Being the same to me
I'll hold onto him forever
Thick and thin through
I'll be with him now
Today and tomorrow
And I'll be his wife
For all of our life

They both sang the chorus together:

When love comes on so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life
To be our man's wife

Amy then said quietly, "Kurt has the weapon…he's sending for the boys out to hunt for Ric."

Joy threw off the robe, "If he hurts Flair, if he even so much as touches him, I swear to you I'll…"

"Do what Flair did to JBL?" Amy sharply folds her arms.

"I love Ric."

"I know. I loved JBL."

Just then Teddy Long came into the main room, "Anybody here?" He went towards the bedroom. "Sorry to disturb you ladies, guess you're disturbed enough."

Joy grabbed her robe, "Yea. Will you excuse me a sec, there's someone I must go see."

"I just have a couple of questions."

"Please, later."

"It'll only take but a moment, you can go afterwards."

"Couldn't you just wait until…"

"No!" Teddy stops himself and changes his sharp tone to a cheery one. "Joy, you were at the dance the other night."

"Yea."

"The champ, JBL, got in an argument because you danced with a wrong superstar."

"Oh?"

"Who was that superstar?"

"Excuse me Amy, my head is worse. Will you go to Bishoff's office, I know he has a first aid kit with what I need."

"Don't you keep aspirin around?" Teddy asked.

"This is something special." Joy turned back to Amy. "Will you go for me, Amy?"

Amy hesitates as she looks at Joy, then nods, "Should I tell him to hold it for you until you come?"

Joy turns to Teddy, "Will I be long?"

"As long as it takes."

Joy turns back to Amy, "Yes, tell him I'll pick it up myself." Amy left the room. "I'm sorry Teddy, now you asked?"

"I didn't ask, I told. There was an argument over a superstar. Who was that superstar?"

"Oh, just another wrestler."

"And his name?"

Joy bit her lip in thinking, "Paul…."

BLACKOUT!
