That Friday Feeling

???
Hey come back here!

As Friday Night Genesis rolls on we are taken to a scene in the backstage area where Lisa Evans is searching for her next interview. Some excitable yelling and screeching is heard from behind a nearby door causing both Lisa and the cameraman following her around to stop dead in their tracks and listen for a moment.

???
Ha, I fuckin’ got you now!

???
Putteth me down foul swine!

???
Na sorry sweetie, time for you to die!

???
Oh yeah!? Let us see how you like being lifted!

Quickly hoping to catch whatever is happening on camera, Lisa bursts through the doorway where once again she is stopped dead, this time confused at the scene playing out in front of her. As the cameraman turns the corner we see two xboxes hooked up to two separate tvs with the controllers now thrown down on the floor. The camera pans around to see one part time cameraman for CMV, Brad Yates, hoisted up in the air by the trombone playing, Brazilian superstar, Rubik.

Rubik
Not the most enjoyable of experiences is it?

Brad Yates
Dude I’m Jason, I’m just playing the game!

Rubik
Nice try Bradley, we’ve been friends for years! I know exactly who you are.

Brad Yates
What, no you dumbass. I mean…

Lisa Evans
Umm… Excuse me?

Startled by Lisa, Rubik drops Brad who lands on the top of his head behind the sofa.

Lisa Evans
What’s going on?

Rubik
Well woman if you must know, we were engaging in some friendly video games. Bradley here suggested we play a little Friday the 13th because it's better than the Tesco value orange juice but now I’m sensing a little foul play on his behalf.

Brad claws himself back up.

Brad Yates
It’s how you play the game!

Rubik
Oh I’m sure.

Lisa Evans
Well now that you’re no longer playing, may I have a few words from you for the CMV Universe?

Rubik
Sorry no, I don’t speak english.

Brad Yates
You’re an idiot.

Lisa Evans
But you’re speaking english right now…

Rubik
Damn, it was a clever ruse but you see right through me. I knew those english lessons were a bad idea. Very well, what words would you like me to speak?

Brad Yates
How about a “sorry for dropping you on your head, Brad?”

Rubik
How about a “Sucketh this knob, Brad?”

Lisa Evans
Actually how about a few words how you’re feeling about your win over Brett Angel last week and how you plan on doing the same in your main event, 2 out of 3 falls match later tonight?

Rubik
I’m in the main event? Bradley hand me my trombone!

Brad Yates
No.

Rubik
Well Lisa, myself and Mr Angelico have a long and storied history. That’s another clever ruse you see, it’s actually a pretty brief history. Back in the dark days over on Unmatched before the world got to see my handsome devilish face, I beat him. Pretty easily too. Now I know the word “history” might be a little bit of a stretch there but that can’t be helped as he’s just not that good. Anyway that’s how the story goes as they say and now we’re here and Brett is a big star! I think. I don’t actually know though, he’s treated like one but I haven’t actually seen him do anything, then again I’ve also not been watching. Regardless, I beat him again very easily last week and tonight will be no different. If I had big enough back pockets Lisa, Brett Angel would be all comfy cozy resting in them. Until I sit down anyway.

Lisa Evans
Well you certainly have proven that you have his number and because of your impressive display last week, you find yourself with a Light Heavyweight title match in two days time at Purgatory against the winner of tonight’s match. Who would you rather face at Purgatory?

Rubik
Brett Angel. I like easy victories.

Lisa Evans
No I mean who out of tonight’s Light Heavyweight title match?

Rubik
Who is fighting?

Lisa Evans
Um, well there’s the challenger Joey Bacon...

Rubik
Hold on isn’t he huge? Like a bloated mass of blubber? Did he eat the actual challenger?

Lisa Evans
No no, he’s the real challenger… It confuses me too.

Rubik
Ay caramba! Well not him then, the other one.

Lisa Evans
So then you would rather fight the champion, Bryce Hurt?

Rubik
Hurt?

Lisa Evans
That’s right.

Rubik
Well who did that?

Lisa Evans
Who did what?

Rubik
Hurt Bryce?

Brad Yates
No you idiot that’s his name, Bryce Hurt.

Rubik
Well that’s not very good. That could cause a whole lot of confusion.

Lisa Evans turns to look at her cameraman with a confused and almost sad look on her face, not quite knowing what to do next. The cameraman shrugs his shoulders and goes to turn and walk away but is stopped by the voice of Brad.

Brad Yates
Well if that ordeal is over, do you guys wanna hang around and play some games with us? We have all kinds of things we can play like Friday 13th, Yooka Laylee, Halo....

Rubik
Yes good games! Even have Dead by Daylight which Bradley sucks all the asshole at.

Brad Yates
Listen here, I’m trying to show you the way here okay. You’ve been drinking this Tesco value orange juice and haven’t yet tasted...

Rubik
You guys stay and play with us, yes?

Lisa’s confusion turns into a little bit of a smile as both she and her cameraman shrug and walk over to the sofa. The scene ends with Rubik stealing the last spot on the sofa causing Brad to sigh and slump down onto the floor.
