Allton: Vinnie…. I need you to do me a favour.
Vincenzo: Sure Boss, name it.
Allton: You’re competing at Outsiders Ladies Night.
Vincenzo: Uh…. What? I ain’t wearing no dress.
Allton smiles, shaking his head.
Allton: And you don’t have to. Of that, you can be assured.
Vincenzo: Good. So…? I’m confused here.
Allton: You know young Penny has a ‘match’ at Ladies Night against ‘Cancer’.
Vincenzo: Yeah…?
Allton: YOU, Vincenzo are to be portraying Cancer.
Vincenzo: Oh, I see. Sure. No problem.
It’s been a few weeks now since Vincenzo Larossia was savagely attacked by Peter Vaughn after Vaughn lured him away to an abandoned warehouse. How did Vaughn get the jump on Larossia? We may never know. Unfortunately, Vincenzo refuses to talk about it. We join Allton and Vincenzo still in the hospital, but Vincenzo is finally about ready to leave the hospital now. After about an hour or so, Bill arrives in Allton’s car and the three of them make their way back to the Key West hotel. Lord Allton sighs.
Bill: What’s up?
Allton: Staying in this hotel has become tiresome.
Allton hands Bill a piece of paper.
Allton: Billy, please drive to this address.
Bill: Uh… sure…?
Bill quickly scan-reads the piece of paper before shrugging and putting the address into the Sat-Nav. After a while, the three arrive at a huge mansion just outside Key West. Bill and Vincenzo stare in awe as Lord Allton has a huge grin on his face and gets out his phone.
Allton: Billy, pull around to the front. Yeah, we’re here. Please come and meet us.
Allton ends his call and after a few moments, a middle aged man dressed in a suit stands by the front door. Bill gets Allton out of the car and the smartly dressed man comes to meet him. Allton and the man shake hands.
??: Lord Allton, welcome Sir.
Allton: Thank-you Jefferson.
Unable to hold in his confusion any longer, Vincenzo stops Allton from heading inside for a brief moment.
Vincenzo: Roberto….What is this place?
Allton: Vincenzo, Billy, welcome to Allton House. My place.
Vincenzo: Y-your place?! B-but I had no idea.
Allton: No. I’ve just got it finished within the past month or so. Months and months of planning permission and….ugh what a nightmare!
Vincenzo: How did you afford this?
Allton: Being a celebrity these days certainly has its…..advantages.
Vincenzo: But Outsiders doesn’t pay this kind of money.
Allton: No. It doesn’t. But I tell you what, why don’t you let me worry about what Allton House costs and you just come in and have a look around? Hm?
Vincenzo shrugs as the three men follow Jefferson inside.
Allton: Jefferson, has everyone else made it yet?
Jefferson: Yes, Sir. Mr and Mrs Thomas are in the back near the pool with Miss Thomas of course. Matsuda is here, somewhere. I believe she is training Miss Penny again. Mr Branson is visiting from France but says that he cannot stay more than a few days.
Allton: Very good. And Tank?
Jefferson: Tank is here as well, Sir. I believe he’s in the games room.
Allton: Francisco, and Mrs Larossia?
Vincenzo: MAMA’S HERE?!
As if on cue, Vincenzo and Frankie’s mother appears from a room off to the side with Frankie towering over her.
Vincenzo: Mama! Frankie… how did you know about this, but I didn’t?!
Mama Larossia: You...you were never good with secrets, si?
Vincenzo: I was when it counted…
Inside the house is a double spiral staircase with a nice calming apple green colour adorning the walls of the main hall (Allton’s favourite colour and a throwback to when he still lived with his parents in England). Well, it looks like a double staircase. One side is in fact a ramp.
Allton: I’ll leave you guys to get acquainted. I have to catch up with Penny. Jefferson, where did you say Matsuda and Penny were?
Jefferson: I’m not sure Sir. Shall I look?
Allton shakes his head.
Allton: No, no. Please… make sure that everyone is comfortable and happy. I’ll go find them.
Jefferson nods.
Jefferson: Sir.
Lord Allton then heads away towards his specially designed training room that he had built. From just outside the room he can hear Matsuda coaching Penny.
Matsuda: That’s it Penny-Chan! You’re coming on wonderfully.
Allton then heads into the training room to observe Penny’s progress. Her kicks are now much more precise. Matsuda has been teaching her very well, it seems. Penny slams her foot into a dummy - not unlike the one in Matsuda’s house and it crumples on the floor in a heap. The women pause and face the doorway when they hear clapping.
Allton: Wonderful. Just wonderful. Penny, I do believe that you are ready for your match at Ladies Night. However…
Allton pauses for effect with a coy smile on his face.
Penny: ‘However’ what, Lord Allton?
Allton: I’m intrigued as to how well you promo! How about it? Every great wrestler has to promo! Am I right, Matsuda? By the way, Matsuda… Incidentally you are wrestling at Ladies Night as well. Mr Zybala informed me a while back.
Matsuda: OK sure.
Lord Allton nods and claps his hands, gesturing for Penny to follow him. Allton House has a fully functioning media room set up and Allton tells Penny to stand in front of the nearby camera.
Allton: OK, Penny my dear. Hit me with your best promo!
Penny: Uh… OK....
Penny begins but she is too quiet. Like the time that she and Allton first met.
Allton: A bit louder.
Penny: CANCER! I’ve sadly had to deal with you all of my life… but you know what? I actually get a measure of revenge! Because I’m gonna be at another Dystopia and this time, I’m living out my dream of kicking your butt!! At Ladies Night, I’m going to kick your butt all over that Dystopia ring and when I’m done, there will be NOTHING LEFT!! Cancer…. You aren’t going to kill me…. Because I’m going to kill you first! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!
Penny flexes her muscles and Lord Allton is taken aback with her final line, a single tear runs down his cheek. He quickly wipes it away before Penny notices and heads over to her, giving her a hug.
Allton: That was a better promo than I can deliver! That was awesome. You’re ready!
Penny smiles and we fade out on her face.
