((This takes place about a half hour before DoD Starts, Just to give a time line))
The halls in the GHW Building are a buzz from the Pay-Per-View about to start. Superstars are moving through the halls near the entrance and locker rooms, including a young man sporting a new look that is turning heads. Scotty Dreamer walks down the hall towards the locker rooms, a white muscle shirt and matching pants on with a new pair of black and white wrestling boots. He is also sporting a pair of white gunner gloves and elbow wraps that he is pulling up into a more comfortable position on his arms. His hair, instead of being spiked up like usual is now slicked back and has apparently had more blond dyed into it. The real head turner though is the color showing in his hair, it has a pink temporary dye splattered through it so that his dark roots show as well a a mix of bright and dark pinks. His face and arms are also covered in a body paint that is a mix of black, red and pink. He makes his way through the hallway, breathing heavily and awaiting the opening bout which he plans to jump into and win. His mind seems to be on the match more than getting to his locker room as his eyes are almost unfocused and he is lightly moving to his own thoughts on later that night. He turns around a corner and walks down that hall a bit before kicking his locker room door open and walking in and to the locker. He digs through it a bit, pulling out his sunglasses and sliding them on and getting a prescription pill bottle. He walks over to the refrigerator and gets a can of Pepsi before opening the bottle then the can. He tosses one of the pills up and catches it in his mouth before taking a drink of his Pepsi to wash it down. He tosses the bottle back in his locker after capping it and turns to the door with his Pepsi in his hand and leaving his locker room and closes the door behind him. He turns down the hall and heads for the lounge next to the entrance to wait for the match.
::Scotty Dreamer::
"I hate having to take those damn things... Damn knee can't be bugging me during the match though.... Time to catch some reactions with the change though......"
Scotty shakes his hands out and cracks his neck as he walks, breathing heavily from the excitement taking him over. He slides his hand into his pocket and pulls out his Verizon Voyager phone, touching the screen to get on the internet. He flips through a few things as he takes another drink of his soda and brings the headphones from his phone to his ears one by one. He clicks it over and the music can be heard from a few feet away, fast punk rock guitar parts and drum beats but nothing coherent. Dreamer slides the phone back in his pocket and rubs his chin lightly, the faraway look in his eyes showing him only focusing on what's right in front of him and the match later that night. Scotty makes it into the Lounge and pulls up a chair, sitting next to the wall and closing his eyes while breathing more calmly now. He feels a tap on his shoulder and opens his eyes to look over to see a member of the Tech Crew there. Scotty pulls his phone out and turns it off before taking his headphones off and stashing it back in his pocket. He looks at the Techie and nods for the man to speak.
::Technical Worker::
"Umm... Just wanted to let you know that your new theme song and entrance is set up for you. I'm sure you knew that but personally I want to let you know some of us guys really put some time in it and can't wait to see how you work with it. The new look is really working for you, is there anything else you need?"
::Scotty Dreamer::
"Yeah, actually there is. Could you hold onto my phone for me? If someone does come out to face me in this I don't want to run the risk of it getting broken you know? Thanks for the work too, I'm sure the crowd is going to love it. As for the look, if the fans want to see me go hardcore, I'm going to give them hardcore."
The techie takes his phone and slides it in his pocket, patting it lightly to show that it's safe before nodding with a smile and walking out of the lounge to leave Scotty to his own thoughts. The young Irishman leans over and places his elbows on his knees and takes a deep relaxing breath and awaits either the match or something exciting. Just then he feels something hit his arm and looks to see an empty Pepsi bottle hit the ground before looking up to see Amanda standing there smiling. Scotty stands up and smiles back as he walks over and hugs her, he kisses her lightly as they pull back and step out into the hallway to talk. Scotty crosses the hall and leans on the wall after turning to her and she just smiles to him and she crosses her arms.
::Amanda Hallsworth::
"So, you plan on winning that rumble and leaving me back on Genesis while you go off to face the Coven by yourself? That's not cool you know, I'll miss seeing you backstage."
::Scotty Dreamer::
"It's not the stipulation and you know I wouldn't leave you behind. Having that stipulation may help later though, maybe someone on Revelations could help me hit those Coven pricks in their own back yard. I have to win though. But you have it easy tonight, facing off against that loser Hayden. Good luck in you match, even though I know you don't need it."
::Amanda Hallsworth::
"Thanks, and good luck to you too. You'll probably need more luck getting all that paint off of you though. It does look good, I've always been a fan of pink, even if it's an awesome design on my new boyfriend's face an arms."
::Scotty Dreamer::
"What can I say, pink seems to stand out, don't worry though, I'm going to mix it up every week. But my surprise is this boyfriend thing.... So we're official now?"
::Amanda Hallsworth::
"Of course, after that last date you won me over. I do have to go get ready for my match though, so go out there and pull a win so we can go out and celebrate alright?"
::Scotty Dreamer::
"You pull a win too, we'll make it one hell of a party. And thank you.... you've really made the last week one of the best I've ever had. Now go get ready, I'll see you after the show."
Scotty pushes lightly off the wall and walks up to her, rubbing his fingers lightly across her cheek as he kisses her. They break away lightly and rest their foreheads together smiling before another quick kiss and Amanda walks away waving to him. Scotty shakes his head lightly as he watches her go, turning to look at the door to the entranceway and taking a deep breath and smiling. He steps back into the Lounge and sees a few guys shaking their heads as he sits down and picks his Pepsi up and takes a drink of it. He looks up to see people preparing themselves mentally, but his attention is caught as the door opens and a man walks through that sparks his interest....

TBC: You Know Who!
Jake Diamond: "... Hey there Scotty... What the hell happened to you? Plan on going to a rave tonight or do you normally paint yourself up to look like a flamingo, in the always possible case that you'd have to hide with a flock of them if the situation arose?"
Although Jake's comment would seem arrogant and dickish to most, Scotty doesn't take much exception to it since it was nicer than most of the things out of his mouth. At first, Scotty thought Jake was just being clever and joking around, but the stone and confused expression on The Future's face would say otherwise.
Scotty Dreamer: "No smart ass, I actually wanted to try something new and original, but that rave you mentioned does actually sound pretty good!"
Not realizing the sarcasm Jake tilts his head to his side and raises an eyebrow, further driven into his state of confusion. Scotty laughs loudly and slaps Jake hard onto the chest, trying to help the former champion to lighten up. Jake's solid stone face remains the same for quite a bit, quickly forcing Scotty to believe he insulted Jake Diamond, but a small and sly smile begins to creep out of the crevices.
JD: "Now Scooby, can I call you Scooby?"
SD: "No, I'd - "
"Whatever, anyway Scooby I heard you're making quite a name for yourself. Is that true?"
"I'd like to think so, I mean I've -"
"Shut up, I'm not done yet. I also happened to hear that the Slam Jam Nation is making quite a splash onto the scene of Gods and Heretics Wrestling. That's pretty impressive I must admit."
"Yeah, and - "
"You mind not interrupting me? Thanks. I've also been a fan of yours since you've arrived, I must admit and I could see a bit of myself in you, of course not as great but similar. With that being said Scotty and with yours truly still the biggest free agent currently in Gods and Heretics Wrestling, how'd you like it if I took you under my wing and show you more things in this business than you'd ever imagine! Not even the Slam Jam Nation could give you that!"
Scotty, afraid of "interrupting" Jake Diamond once more, seems to be reluctantly quiet. Impatient and bitter both at the same time, Jake quickly goes tired of waiting.
"Come on champ! What are you waiting for, this is the offer of a lifetime! Are you just going to sit back and wait for a magical fairy to give you a sign?!"

Scotty gets a little annoyed with Jake's love of his own voice and stands up, taking a drink of his Pepsi. He looks at "The Future" in the eyes with almost no emotion showing on his face for a moment before smiling and lightly shaking his head.
::Scotty Dreamer::
"You really do just love the sound f you own voice it seems. And to let you know, the name is Scotty and not Scooby. I only have two nicknames, one I'm shying away from and tonight I prove the other one in the Battle Royal."
::Jake Diamond::
"And I wish you luck, don't forget...."
::Scotty Dreamer::
"Now who's interrupting who? Sucks really, sorry about that before. But I do have to thank you, being complimented by a man I have personally been a fan of since before I started in GHW is really shocking. But with you saying I am making a big name for myself that is for good reason. Controversy sells and one way or another I got pulled into a heaping mess of it. Come next week I'll make it even worse when I jump ship to get back at Vladimir Strife for trying to punk me out."
::Jake Diamond::
"Watch out man, Vlad is one bad mother..."
::Scotty Dreamer::
"Just a second Future boy, you gave me a lot to talk about this time. Now there may be reasons you see a bit of yourself in me, that's because at one time I wanted to be just like you, except now my hair looks better, I have a more original look and I'm not an inexplicably arrogant jackass to the fans but don't take that as an insult. You are an amazing entertainer for the fact that no matter how insulting you get, you still somehow manage to pull a cheer or two in the ring. Now I was trained for a few months by a friend of yours who only had nice things to say about you if you cut out him talking about how much of a cocky jackass you could be."
Jake looks at Scotty with a look between wanting to laugh and slug him. Scotty just pats the man on the head and gets a look of almost anger as he laughs about touching Jake's 'perfect hair' before waving it off with a deep breath to calm his own laughter. Jake just looks wide eyed at how obnoxiously brave or stupid Scotty is currently proving to be.
::Scotty Dreamer::
"Lighten up man, I'm just kidding with you. Alex Stall is the one I worked with and he did say you were a good guy deep down. But to let you know, you mentioned Slam Jam Nation being a hit right now... I may be taking a hiatus from their ranks when I get to Decimation. I have some personal business to attend to with a certain revived and bitchified stable that you are acquainted with. As I said, I have a score to settle with Vlad and as you may know if you pay any attention to something besides yourself that I have a little problem with Hayden Hardkore."
::Jake Diamond::
"I did notice and do believe you have a right to be angry with them, being that little scene I caught a glimpse of in the hall with you and Amanda. Congratulations on that one too, but don't get too cocky. Hayden and Vlad are both great wrestlers so don't take them lightly, but remember they are nothing compared to the future of the business here. But getting back on topic, you never quite answered me did you Scooby?"
Scotty gives Jake a glare who just stares back, both men seeming to be fighting a small grin each from the subtle jokes tossed back and forth. Scotty brushes his hand over his slicked back hair and points to Jake before walking past him and tosses the empty bottle in his hand into a trash can. He then cracks his knuckles and looks at the time before hearing Lizzie starting to announce Dawn Of Destructions opening.
::Scotty Dreamer::
"I'll keep you posted, as you know I've got a lot on my mind right now and thinking you 'taking me under your wing' is another thing I need to consider. Meet me at the bar around the corner after the show and we'll discuss it. Anything else you need, I have about five minutes until my match starts and about another two minutes before I actually need to go out there."
Jake turns to Scotty who is now leaning in the doorway awaiting his music to start playing over the PA so he can go out and fight his match. Jake shakes his head as he notices Scotty smiling lightly at the current thoughts and upcoming Rumble.

"Oh? And what would that be?"
Now intrigued, Scotty grins at and Jake and looks at him in the eyes. However Jake's playful smile subsides and is replaced with a rather solemn but just as cynical smirk.
"See tonight, I'm taking on Cosmos to see who will be the number one contender for the Charging Glory championship, and when I win that I'll be facing Rhaps on the next Saturday Night Decimation..."
"Yeah, and how does that concern me?"
"Well Scooby, I'm going to give you your first lesson free of charge. It's called "Putting Your Money Where Your Mouth Is 101." So if you do as you say you will and win tonight, and then eventually transfer over to Decimation, I'm willing to offer you an automatic challenge against yours truly for the title, if I happen to win it..."
Scotty brightens up at the sounds of Jake's offer. However, Scotty seems to see other intentions as Jake's smile grows and his classic iceberg blue eyes mirror off devious intentions.
"Wow Jake! That'd be great, you don't know how much that'd mean to me, I'd -"
"Whoa, not so fast sport, there is one condition. See, if you want to beat the Coven so badly just for the hell of it, imagine how badly you'd destroy them if something as big as, lets say, a title shot is on the line. So Scooby, time to step up or shut up. If you win tonight and eventually transfer, you're going to have to take on a member of The Coven 2.0 in a number one contenders match! How's that for incentive?!"
Scotty's bright expression dwindles down, and fast, and stares back into Jake's eerily fiery blue eyes. A stagehand comes behind the curtain and pokes Scotty on the shoulder, instantly bringing him out of his brief trance. The stagehand whispers into Scotty's ear that he's out first, who nods in response. He turns back to Jake, who's still smiling like a jackal, and finally answers Jake's query.
"Fine Jake, alright. But I've got one question, lets say Rhaps beats you and retains, what will I have to fight for then? A shot against him, or just a chance to beat you up?"
"Well Scooby, I reckon the choice would be up to you wouldn't it? Of course, what makes you so certain that Jake Diamond won't prevail?"
"I don't know, you do have a good record against Rhaps it's just that..."
Scotty doesn't seem to know how to finish his sentence without either insulting Jake harshly or undermining him. Almost reading Scotty's dilemma, Jake laughs out loud and pats Scotty on the shoulder.
"Tell you what Scooby, whether I win or lose, I'll still prove in that match that I really am 'The Future'. So Scotty, go out there and win so I'll be able to mop the floor with you eventually on Decimation. Then, I'll go out after you and prove that I still am the best in the business... Because I'm Jake Diamond..."
Stagehand: "Scotty! You're on!"
Scotty's music begins to play, and as Mr. Dreamer turns to head through the curtain, a strong hand spins him around and goes face to face with him. Slightly shocked just as well surprised, Scotty looks back into the solid, grinning face of Jake Diamond.
"... And I'm better then you!"
Jake smiles and lightly pats Scotty on the cheek before turning around and walking away. Scotty, no longer fully shocked, grins as Jake walks away, realizing Jake's offer to Scotty was all a ploy to make sure he succeeds, at least for now. Scotty Dreamer nods and heads through the curtain, beginning the long journey to try his shot at either opposing or joining with Jake Diamond.
