Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids (Prysm Ray)

[Penelope Lea]

The setting? All-of-Garden, the premiere vegan restaurant in Las Vegas, why? Well, Rolf McCounterson Jr. was treating, and Penelope Lea, despite her concerns over the lack of animal products, promised Sin City Wrestling's senior official a date should she be granted the victory against Prym Ray a week ago. Needless to say (but said anyway) Penelope Lea just miraculously happened to get the victory over our Trix-yogurt haired warrior. Edging her fork around a tasteless noodle, Penelope, elbow on table, twirled it around her eating utensil, as if she was afraid to bring the unknown into her mouth. Penelope Lea had this ongoing hatred of any noodle-based cuisine, but absolutely refused to ever allow tofu to ever touch her tongue again, not after her experiences with Sasha Lea's countless attempts to drop animal product from their diet. Yes, their diet. Sharing a fridge, and having Sasha do the grocery shopping had its unfortunate tolls on Penelope Lea's young stomach. Her experiences with tofu outweighed her experiences with Chinese restaurants, and noodles being the only thing with recognizable merit on the menu, forced Penelope to order absolute dread. Eying her fork, as if she was having a heated staring contest, she continued to twirl the noodle around, and around, trying to eat the time away. Rolf however, began to notice this.

"Penelope, is something wrong?"

Is something wrong? HAH. If it wasn't for a promised victory, Penelope Lea would probably be at a restaurant where steak was an option for a side-dish. Probably not the most healthy thing, but god did she linger for something with substance in her meal. Sighing, she blew a strand of hair away from her face as she adjusted her black-rimmed glasses.

"No, everything is absolutely perfect."

Sarcasm filled the air as Penelope mentally frowned to herself. She should have called off the date as soon as she was given her victory, but alas, the promise of a free meal shadowed her intelligence. Never again! Giving Rolf a toothy, arrogant smile, she lifted her fork and stuck the gooey life-less, animal-less tentacle into her mouth, grinding the metal of the fork along her teeth as she did so, her "pleasing" smile still present.

"Really? Because you really don't sound, or look like it."

No shi...Penelope rolled her eyes as Rolf continued to insist on insulting her. The troubles she went through just to get an easy win on her record. Rolf and Penelope weren't "friends" during the championship tournament, Penelope Lea won the title on skill, and slight luck, it wasn't until after when Penelope decided to develop some sort relationship with referee. Sharing carbonated tea when one "accidentally" come out of the machine alongside hers. Mustering up chatter about the latest Warehouse 13 episode, which was COMPLETE luck on Penelope's end. Not getting angry when McCounterson dumped her lunch into the garbage. Yes, the cornerstones of a beautiful friendship.

"Well, I'm tired. I am a champion after all."

It was then that colorful hair came into Penelope's line of sight. Panicking, Penelope grabbed her gigantic purse (still not big enough for her ego) and planted it in font of her face, hiding. Red and yellow weren't only the colors of a living legend, but the hair colors of the woman she and Rolf screwed out of a victory! Darting her attention towards Rolf, who was stupidly holding his head up high, enjoying whatever he was eating, Penelope loudly whispered to get back his attention.

"Rolf, get down! That's Prysm Ray!"

Raising an eyebrow, McCounterson stopped mid-bite and looked for the woman in question. However any feeble attempts at hiding were quickly negated as both he and Miss Losing-Record locked eyes. Rolf gulping rather loudly made Penelope shake within her heels as her conscience suddenly set in. What were people going to think when people realized she went on a date with Rolf McCounterson Jr?! Gross!

[Prysm Ray]

Even though Prysm had just come off of her second loss, she wasn't feeling down at all. She tried her best, and that was fine with her. Plus her friend from back home, Sparkle as she liked to call her, had sent her quite an interesting clip of her match. That clip was of Prysm kicking out of the pin before the Ref's hand connected to the mat for the three. But that didn't really bother her, as the main thing on her mind right now was food, and lots of it.

She had come to All-Of-Garden almost every day since she had been in Vegas. The food was amazing, especially for a Vegetarian like Prysm. Of course looking around to see if she knew anybody here, she spots Mr. McCounterson. Not knowing or caring, for that matter, who he was with Prysm walked over to his table. Smiling at the man she said.

Hey there Ref... Lemme talk to you for a second.

Prysm grabbed a chair from a nearby unoccupied table and pulls it over. Sitting down on it, she pulls her iPhone out of her pocket since she didn't use a pocketbook. Taking a few seconds with fiddling through the phone that she didn't fully know how to operate, she opened the video text she had gotten from Sparkle. As the video started to play she flipped it around and showed it to Rolf.

I just wanted to clarify with you on that little... mishap of yours. You didn't see my shoulder come off the mat, did you?

Prysm wasn't an awfully intimidating person, but Rolf seemed to be shaking in his boots upon seeing the clip.

N...no... Of course I didn't. My mistake.

Smiling as if she actually believed that terrible lie, Prysm replied.

Good... because I'm pretty sure the company would frown upon a Ref giving away a match so he could get a date from the girl he helped win.

Of course she had seen Penelope hiding behind her massive Pocketbook. And almost like she wasn't mad about this at all, Prysm says something completely random.

I didn't know you were a vegan Penelope.[/center][/color]

[Penelope Lea]

To play along, or not to? Penelope, never exactly fond of the vegan dietary style, didn't want to play the part emotionally but mentally she knew she couldn't allow Prysm Ray to get the upper hand in the situation. Luckily, Rolf McCounterson Jr. denied her allegations, so at least there was ground, however wobbly, to stand on. Unfortunately, the fact she tried to hide herself from the scene made it almost obvious that Penelope was on a date with the man. Almost.

Picking up her gigantic purse, which luckily (though not surprising) had reflective material, Penelope acted as if she was checking her reflection, to give an ode of confidence to her aura. If she was seen as confident, then hopefully what she had to say wouldn't come off as a blatant lie. Lightly kicking Rolf in the shin, to catch his attention so she could give an example of how to carry one's self in this particular situation, she passed a smirk as she put her purse back in its designated position.

"I am the best vegan in the universe."

Talking matter-of-factly, Penelope Lea was never one to actually tone-down her self confidence.

"Someone of my intelligence understands the definitive quality of a vegan diet. For someone to stray elsewhere, picking up a chicken drumstick, might as well jump off a ten-story building and kill themselves, because it would be a less-tragic death, not only for them, but for their family."

Rolf McCounterson Jr. raised an eyebrow as he watched Penelope string a compiling list of blatant lies. Having had a heated argument in his car earlier, Rolf had reluctantly agreed to take her to the Wendy's Drive-Thru afterward, and order Penelope two Baconator's, the second of which she promised to give to Sasha. Little did he know that Penelope was going to save one for a just-after-midnight snack. For that time of the night when Sasha's leftover tofu was the only thing "eatable" in the house.

"I just happened to run into a friend, and I thought it would have been horribly rude to not share a table with them."

[/color]

She looked at Prysm Ray with a confident eye as she relaxed herself within her seat. Jumping suddenly, she held up a finger. Penelope just realized that her mode of transportation wasn't explained.

"Aaaand I can't operate a motor vehicle, so I had Sasha drop me off while she drove off to run some errands."

She always felt the phrase "I never learned how to drive" felt so juvenile compared to the former. Snapping her fingers, she sat back down and continued to give Prysm Ray her confident expression. Rolf, showing signs of wanting to laugh at Penelope's actions was given a dirty look by his date.

"Yup! Sheer happenstance. Nothing sleazy going on here, like me forgetting to check your shoulder. I can promise you that."

[Prysm Ray]

Nothing Sleazy, time to roll the pant legs up... walking through some DEEEEP shit now.

Smiling, Prysm nodded at everything they were saying. Her eyes scanning both of the people at the table, obviously seeing major holes in their story. Then her eyes grazed both of their plates, Penelope's in particular. Seeing the lack of any real substance on the plate she sort of changed the subject.

Penelope, hun... where's your tofu?

Being a vegetarian herself, Prysm knew the major benefits of eating Tofu, no matter how bland it tasted. Without Tofu it would require some serious vitamins to make up for it, she couldn't let Penelope go a meal without it! It would leave her not at her very best if they were to meat (Get it?... I'm so Punny) again in the ring.

Here... they must have forgotten it. You must've ordered from Janice, from what I've seen she always forgets some part of an order. I'll get something to help that.

As she said that she waved over the waitress whom Prysm was used to here, and had gotten good service from. As she came over, Prysm didn't even let her ask or hand her a menu as she rambled off a rather small order.

I'll just have a simple Tofu Burger, cut in half on two separate plates, and a small Kale Salad.

After she jotted down some notes on her little pad, the waitress went to go hand the order in. Seeing the waitress walk away, Prysm turned to Penelope and says.

There... you'll LOVE it, they make some of the best Tofu Burgers here that I've ever had. They even cut up some Chives and put them on it, absolutely amazing.

Prysm was being rather nice, even though she had just lost... unjustly to these two. Seeing Penelope dressed so nice though, Prysm just had to ask.

Penelope, what's up with the fancy clothes? That's a little bit much for being dropped off at a restaurant isn't it?[/center][/color]

[Penelope Lea]

Mentally, Penelope was ramming the palm of her hand onto her forehead repeatedly. Yes, she was dressed to impress, but she had this knack for dressing too impressively, especially when it came to events such as dating. She had battled with herself just an hour ago, arguing with own reflection on whether or not to go casual or excessively fancy. Unfortunately she couldn't find a middle ground, and ended up flipping a Knuckles to determine her fate. Knuckles being her favorite character in the Sonic franchise, and having a plush of such a character was given. Tail-up meant fancy, therefore, sitting now uncomfortably, waiting for her half of a tofu burger was Penelope Lea. Elbow-length black gloves, an almost too-revealing Jessica Rabbit-like red dress, and hair covering a single eye, Penelope Lea was indeed dressed in such a fashion to question the idea of being dropped off by her older sister.

"Uh...um...I was...uh..."

Stammering for logical excuse, Penelope Lea looked around her environment, looking for anything that could explain herself. There wasn't a stage, so throwing a one-time, Penelope Lea-only performance wasn't an option. The waitresses were dressed like they were going to serve food, whereas Penelope didn't. In fact, Penelope looked like a person of supreme importance, like she was some kind of A-list movie actress. Under the florescent lighting Penelope practically glowed, being stealthy simply wasn't an option.

"Penelope was just saying she was "breaking in" her clothing for a performance she had planned for the upcoming SCW show."

Wha-wha-wha-wha-what?! Penelope awestruck over Rolf McCounterson Jr's sudden outburst of intelligence couldn't believe her ears. She wasn't sure she would use the exact phrase "breaking in" but it was better than nothing, which was the only thing Penelope had. Darting a wink towards Penelope, Rolf smiled as he continued to retell a non-existent conversation.

"Yeah, she was explaining how dressing in character helps prepare herself for an upcoming performance. How it helps get her in the mindset of the person she's trying to protray.

If anyone could sneak a peek in Penelope's mind, they would see a once raining cloud sprouting a rainbow bridge underneath a million galloping ponies, all dancing in the utmost of glee. Perhaps befriending Rolf McCounterson Jr. wasn't a regrettable thing after all!

"Yeah, that's exactl-"

"A tofu burger, split in half on two separate plates with a side of kale salad."

JANICE. If the devil had a name it would be "JANICE." Having been derailed from her food drama with clothing drama, Penelope had completely forgot that Prysm Ray ordered her a tofu burger! The once dancing ponies were now scurrying away to their homes as a heard of tofucows were stampeding in the distance. Would vegans eat tofu from tofucows?...How JANICE managed to get the order in and out so quickly was a mystery as Penelope watched a smiling Prysm Ray accept her ordered meal. Screaming bloody murder in her mind, the theme of Jaws began to play in the distance as the plate of her half of the tofu burger edged closer and closer to her. Da-nun. Da-nun. Da-nun.

[Prysm Ray]

Prysm, of course wasn't buying a word that these two were saying. Anyone who didn't realized that they were on a date was very jaded. But Prysm was at the point where it didn't really matter, as she knew what her plans were... but, food was her number one priority right now, as she instantly dug into her salad.

Kale was something that most people couldn't eat by itself, but Prysm absolutely loved it. Especially since All-Of-Garden were smart enough to give their Kale a slight frost to help the flavor. After a few bites, Prysm glanced up to look at Penelope.

The look on her face was priceless. It was almost like she was traumatized by the burger. Forcing herself not to laugh, Prysm slowly swallows the small bite she had just taken. Taking a small breath to make sure she wasn't going to let out a slight giggle or a small laugh of some sorts she finally asks.

Penelope, is there something wrong with your burger?

Seeing her still stare at the burger she accidentally lets out a small laugh and says.

Hey... it's not like it's going to jump off the plate and bite you. Fear isn't a good look on you Penelope. You look much hotter when you're being an egotistic bitch.

HEY, Don't Talk to her like tha-

Shut it Rolf, I was just giving her a compliment. Confidence is a very sexy trait. But you wouldn't really know of that would you?

She snapped at him. Showing a little bit of her true colors, she absolutely despised men like Rolf. Trying to be chivalrous when he didn't even get this date like a man.

[Penelope Lea]

"People actually have the audacity to call these 'burgers?'"

[/center][/i]

Thinking to herself, Penelope continues to stare down at the tofu burger made of fresh tofucow. Burgers weren't meant to be probed by four-pronged forks but she didn't want to actually touch it. To embrace a thing with touch is to accept it, Penelope wasn't about to accept the fact that her latest rival just gave her half of a killer substance. People were aware of the song, right? "Killer Tofu?" Oo-ee-oo, killer tofu, Penelope Lea began to cut herself a delicate, yet precise triangle. She couldn't allow Prysm Ray to get the upper hand, she had to eat it. Giving Prysm Ray the psychological edge wasn't something she was about to do, NEVER!

Triangle cut. Fork pierced. The pseudo-hamburger screaming in agony after being burned, cooked, and sliced, Penelope began to bring the burger into her mouth. Her teeth resisting, she began to give the tofu an uneasy smile as it edged closer and closer to her mouth. Was she really going to do this? Was Penelope really going to torture her taste-buds just to prove a point? What exactly was the point; to prove she was better than the woman who just kinda-sorta complimented her?! Perhaps it was just a nudge of sarcasm, just blatant lies to spring a fire, to force her to eat it! PENELOPE COULDN'T ALLOW PRYSM TO DO THAT! Throwing her fork down she pointed an accusing index finger in Ray's direction.

"HAHA! I'm not stupid, I'm not an idiot. I see what you're doing! Complimenting me while in the same time, insulting me. HAHA~ Oldest trick, ever. Forcing me to prove how awesome of a vegan I am, when I shouldn't even have too. I GLEAM OF AWESOME. LOOK AT ME!"

[/center]

Penelope stood up, posing. Her dress literally making her gleam underneath the restaurant lighting.

[Prysm Ray]

Staring at Penelope, Prysm smirked ever so slightly. She really did have a flair about her that did gleam. Picking up her half of a burger, she takes a bite of it. Staring at Penelope, whom was making a complete fool of herself by creating such a scene, that now pretty much everyone was staring over their way.

Swallowing the bite she took, she smiled at her. Showing Penelope just how much she loved being a vegetarian. She loved this sort of food. And that some people, didn't treat food like this as poison or something that was going to jump off the plate and bite you.

Penelope... Listen. As much as I find your over-confidence sexy, I don't want you to prove anything about you being a Vegan. I was simply trying to be nice.

Prysm then took another well sized bite of her burger. Savoring the flavor. As she just stared up at Penelope, wondering how she would react.

[Penelope Lea]

Penelope, sat back down, not exactly dumbfounded, but lost for any bodily expression. Despite her claims, Prysm Ray simply shrugged them off, as if she was genuinely interested in sharing her dreaded tofu burger with Penelope. That bugged her. Seriously bugged her. Maybe it was a still an act. Prysm did know JANICE by name, and Penelope could tell that she didn't have to reference her name-tag. JANICE and Ray could have been friends of the deepest kind! Especially considering Prysm's knack for throwing around the word "sexy" ever so suddenly, there had to be a reason!

Looking back down at her burger, Penelope lifted the top bun and began to examine for any suspicious tampering. Prysm Ray was eating her half of their burger without any hesitation, as if to lure Penelope into eating her's. The burger was cut in half before hand, it wasn't done in front of her, JANICE must have done something to her half! No one eats a tofu burger with that large of a smile on their face, or any burger really! Picking back up her fork, she brings neatly cut triangle of tofu and brings it to her nose. Suspicious tampering had a special fragrance, and Penelope was determined to find it out.

Sniff.

Sniff.

Sniff.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing! Was JANICE a masterful manipulator? Was she such a master at her craft that she hid the stench of suspicious tampering with nothing?! It was food! Food has to smell like something, yet this burger, this burger didn't smell like anything. Suspicious. Looking back at Prysm, who was still enjoying her half of their tofu burger, Penelope began to feel irritated.

"You did something to mine, didn't you?"

[Prysm Ray]

Sighing, Prysm rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe this woman. First she thinks that the food is going to attack her, and then she thinks it's tampered with. Grabbing her own fork, she reaches over to Penelope's plate. Cutting off a small portion of the burger with her fork, she picks it up and eats it. Chewing it, and swallowing it, loving the taste still she said.

See? It's fine. I'd never try to poison ya'.

Well that was rude.

Glaring at Rolf, Prysm thought of a brilliant idea. Even though it was blackmail... it had to be done.

Alright, I have a proposition for you two. If you, Penelope, cannot eat that burger... then you must go out on a date with me.

As she said that, a smile crossed her face as she stared at the beautifully dressed Penelope and then continued.

And, You... Rolf.

She said that with a heavy hint of disgust.

You will have to PUBLICLY apologize to me, on Anthrax for screwing me over for your own selfish gains.

However, if you do manage to eat that portion of a burger. Then, all you'll have to do is give me a re-match with One Hundred Percent clean officiating.

Finishing off the last of her own burger, she chews and swallows it before finishing with.

Or if you don't want to... then I could just go march to the SCW Headquarters and show them the clip, and then reveal that you did that for a date. It's your choice.

[/color]

[Penelope Lea]

Did she hear that correctly? Going on a date...with Prysm Ray, her rival! The Gary to her Ash, the Rarity to her Applejack, the Adam to her Eve. Wait, what?! Penelope Lea watched helplessly as she could practically feel the prying eyes of Prysm Ray undress her. Folding her arms, to unsuccessfully hide her chest, Penelope looked downward, trying to focus on her burger, which also felt utterly and terribly wrong. Prysm Ray was conniving and manipulative, Penelope practically had no choice, look upward at a seemingly perverted Prysm Ray, or look downward at a dinner she never wanted to have in the first place. Hands underneath the table, she began to strum her knees to a random, unfamiliar beat, as if trying to distract herself, and others from the scene. Knowing it would be unsuccessful, she did it anyway, she wasn't Sasha Lea, so her abilities to keep a steady beat was anything but present. A disruptive cough from Rolf made Penelope stop to a halt. Why Rolf? Unless Prysm Ray's cough was insanely masculine, it couldn't be her. Darting her attention away from the burger, and onto Rolf, he simply smiled shyly. He didn't like the beat, and didn't feel totally comfortable with Prysm Ray at the table anymore either. Penelope was going to have to do this. She absolutely had no choice in the matter.

Sighing deeply, though quickly regretting it, she tried to hide herself once more as she reached for her fork. Thinking that things could possibly be tasteless when in minuscule proportions, Penelope began to cut her burger into a series of rectangular slices. One by one, she focused her attention on the width of each slide, trying to make each one smaller than the last. Burgers, while traditionally eaten without the aid of utensils, today, at this very moment, would forever be eaten in infant-sized portions. 15 slices in total, Penelope gave herself a moment to marvel at her artistry. She had managed to arrange the slices in a giant "P" for Penelope. Creative, right? Unfortunately, it made her not want to eat the burger even more!

"Crap."

[/center] [/b]

She could just imagine the giant smile on Prysm Ray's face as she struggled with the thought of not only having to eat the burger, but completely destroying her art. Closing her eyes, she pierced the first slice of the burger, not willing to witness the destruction of a masterpiece. Bringing it to her mouth, she quickly dipped it on her tongue as the familiar taste of tofu exploded inside it. She swore to herself, and her tongue that she would never do this again, but alas she put in a situation where she couldn't keep that promise. Cringing, she ate another. And another. And another. Each new slice killing taste bud, after taste bud. Rolf McCounterson really owed her twins of Baconators now, there was simply no going back. Counting, she began to narrate her progress aloud.

"Five."
"Six."
"Seven."
"Eight."
"Nine."

She continued until she reached fourteen. Eyes still closed, she smiled at her progress. Penelope was going to do it! She was going to accomplish something of absolutely stellar results. Yes, she would have to wrestle a match with Prysm again, but she beat her before, she could do it again...even with fair officiating, she hoped. Between the two evils, it was better than having to go on a date, a wrestling match lasts at best seven minutes, a date could take an entire evening, and Penelope wasn't about to devote an entire evening to Prysm Ray. Not at all! Twirling her fork between her index and middle fingers, a trick she forced Sasha to teach her with a drumstick, Penelope pierced the last slice of the burger. However, she couldn't take it off the plate! Opening a single eye, she looked down at the slice. THERE WAS ANOTHER FORK IN IT!

"WHAT?!"

[Prysm Ray]

The other fork was of course, Prysm's own. A sly smile on her face as she pulled the burger away from Penelope, and pushed it in her own mouth. Quickly eating it as she then said.

Well then... it looks like you didn't manage to eat the whole thing like we bet.

Sly? Yes. Devious? Possibly. But Prysm did what she had to, to get what she wanted here. Setting her fork down she said calmly towards Penelope, who looked stunned and confused.

However... I'm willing to compromise here. Let's ask Rolf here what the verdict is.

Turning towards him, both women were curious as to what he was going to say. He was obviously shaking, nervous about the decision he was going to make. Then he tried to gain some composure as he put on his best Referee attitude.

W...well. Penelope ate as much as she could of the burger, but did not eat the whole thing. Which is an issue as neither criteria were met.

As he said that, the smile on Prysm's face grew. She couldn't wait to hear the final verdict. She could assume that Penelope was dreading it.

I will officiate a rematch between you two...

The smile on Prysm's face dimmed as he said that. She could hear a slight sigh of relief from Penelope. But then Rolf continued with his verdict.

However, since not all of the burger was eaten... the date will also take place.

Prysm tried to hold back a giddy laugh as she looked at Penelope, who looks like she had just seen a ghost. This had all worked out in Prysm's favor... and that was a relief for once.

[Penelope Lea]

Penelope was speechless. Rolf McCounterson Jr. was supposed to be her friend! Was this planned from the start? Were Rolf McCounterson Jr, JANICE and Prysm Ray one huge mega-unstoppable-super stable? No, it couldn't be, if anything it was just JANICE and Prysm, and unless McCounterson Jr' was JANICE's cousin, her accusations would hold no merit. Penelope wasn't used to having things not go her way, and it seemed karma was getting the upper hand. The tofu she hate was for absolute nothing! Everything was just a big, humongous waste of time. Anger overcoming her, the lingering aftertaste of tofu still present, she gripped her plate and threw it like a frisbee against an adjacent wall.

"You cannot be serious!"

"Serious as a heart attack."

Rolf McCouterson gleamed over his decision. He was the SCW senior official, officiating things was in his job description, be it a wrestling match or a simple tofu burger eating bet, it was the best and only thing he knew how to do.

"Also, since Penelope ate the majority of her burger, I do not have to have issue a public apology. We each get the best of both words!"

Worst. Date. Ever. How exactly did Penelope gain anything out of any of this! Forced into a match she didn't want to have. Sneaked into a date with Prysm Ray, a WOMAN. Penelope was SCW Hellcats champion! Didn't that mean anything?!

"I'm. Out."

Having mind to dial Sasha Lea with her cellphone, Penelope picked up her purse and headed for the door. She was through with this! Done! Rolf McCounterson would have to pay the check AND the damages, Penelope wasn't going to have any of these shenanigans anymore!
