[AO3] [WATTPAD]

NOTE: The beginning of this chapter hits a little harder than it did when I wrote it, because my own grandparent is in ill health of late. That's partially what's been complicating my life. I promise I will post fanfics other than this one very soon - including a certain one a certain fandom has been clamoring for.

------

"Grandma? What do you do when you feel like life is over?"

The elderly proprietor of Marukyu smiled, even if she didn't turn away from the stove. Rise tried not to think too hard about all the new wrinkles that were forming around the corners of her eyes, how much slower she walked than she did before Rise took off for fame and fortune. Those thoughts didn't bring any joy to anyone. Might as well focus on the positives.

"What on Earth are you talking about, Ri-chan? You are still so young. You have many years ahead of you, you should not be thinking about such things yet."

"I… can't help it." She tried to turn her thoughts aside from actual mortality and toward her situation with her classmate. "A friend I really like is fighting with me, and I don't know what to do. I think- no, I know I hurt her feelings on accident. But she's really hurt and she thinks I did it on purpose."

"Hm? What could you have done, dear mago? You are so young, I'm sure it was nothing."

What could she say? How was she supposed to tell her kindly old grandmother that she might not be entirely straight, her friend might not be entirely female, and their relationship might not be entirely platonic? The woman was very traditional, even if she very rarely had an unkind word to say about anyone.

"I told a secret to a friend. Another friend, I mean. And I thought I could trust her with it, but I know now I shouldn't have told her at all… because the whole school found out, and the first friend is embarrassed."

Her grandmother laughed as she lifted a block of silken tofu from the box in which it had been setting, placing it on the counter to be cut into smaller pieces. Rise fell to work right away, since this was her job at the moment as sous-chef. "Ri-chan, it is not something to worry about, I can assure you. These things happen. But if you don't talk to your friend, don't try to work things out, you will regret it later in life. I promise you that, as well."

That, she could absolutely believe. "Yeah. She's just so angry, I don't know what to say to her. Is there anything I can say? Or should I just keep letting her know I want to talk and let her be the one to come to me? I don't know what to do!"

"Ahhhhh, yes, I can understand your concern there. It is like… playing go." They both chuckled, because the raw soybean liquid she was now straining to make the milk base for tofu was also pronounced "go", even though she was referring to the board game. "You are worried what every move you make will be the wrong one. To give up too much territory would be a costly mistake. But to do nothing is the worst move of them all. Then you will have not played, and you have already lost."

"But I…" That was hard to argue with. If she didn't lift a finger at all, she would lose Ai. Sure, if she risked it all she could still lose her, but they were better odds than giving up now. "Y-yeah. Thanks, Grandma."

"Of course. And I know, it must sound silly from an old lady like me, saying your troubles are so small. I know to you, they seem like mountains. But looking back from the mountain I stand on now, they were the foothills. You'll see someday."

Slumping, she set the knife down now that the tofu had been sliced into portions. "If I live that long…"

"RISE!" Suddenly she was being whacked with a spoon, and she ducked and covered her head. "Don't talk like that! You will have a long and healthy life, or I will send you right back to this world to try again! Do you understand?"

"Yes, Grandma," she said with a little bow. Even though she was smiling. So what if her parents were idiots? She had family; she wasn't alone. Sometimes life gives you exactly what you need — no more, no less.

~ o ~

However, what Rise had not been given was a plan of attack. And the longer she tried to think about it, tried to come up with something to put into play the next day, the more she continued to come up blank. So she decided to focus on practicing her vocals. The exercises were second nature by now, but she was still so rusty after only occasionally singing over the past year. Getting back into the game meant all parts of it, not just the "fun" ones.

Nothing happened the next day at school. Literally nothing. She did try to seek out Ai a few times, just in case they could smooth over the unpleasantness after she had her single petty act of revenge. Maybe that was it. Maybe they could be friends again, if she apologised… but Ai was either skipping, or very artfully avoiding her at all turns. She never saw her once, and she wasn't even responding to her texts or voicemails. Ghosted.

That evening, after dinnertime, she came calling around the Ebihara residence. But the woman who answered told her they weren't receiving guests. Probably a maid, but it also could have been a secretary of some sort. It definitely wasn't Ai's mother…

Thursday seemed like it would be much the same as the last. Unfortunately, an incident toward the end of the day interrupted an otherwise dull existence. Rise had been hoping for something like that — until it happened, and made her eat her wish.

"Attention, please!" called Noriko Kashiwagi in her throaty purr, crossing her arms to prop up her breasts and put them even more on display. Rise had long ago become desensitised to her teacher's little inappropriate displays, but that didn't mean she wasn't far more comfortable in Ms. Sofue's classroom, despite her Egyptian headdress. At least she didn't behave as if she were auditioning for a porno. "Mmm, yes, all eyes on me, class! All eyes on me!"

"Ugh," Kanji muttered from behind her. "No thanks, old bag." Rise tried not to snort.

"That's better. Now… would anyone care to explain this?"

She held up a manilla folder. An empty manilla folder. One of the girls in the front row raised her hand, and the teacher pointed to her. "Is… it's a folder, right?"

"It is. And there was supposed to be something in there. Would anyone care to guess what?" Dead silence. "The answers to yesterday's quiz. But it seems they walked off. Now, if some young, strapping boy would like to come forward and… reveal himself, maybe a little detention with me can straighten him right up."

While she was chuckling in way too flirtatious a tone than was appropriate, making most of the class wonder if they should be reporting her, Rise was glancing around the room, trying to see if she could spot the perpetrator. Not that she knew what to look for exactly; Naoto would have been the one with that skill set, and she wasn't in that class. But she couldn't help idly speculating anyway.

"No one? Very well. I will give you until the end of this class, or you will all be serving detention if the culprit doesn't come forward." When the predictable grumbling broke out, she raised her voice a little to say, "But! Confess your sins, and I may be more lenient! Now take out your books, we must get started."

"Shit," Kanji grumbled under his breath as the students rushed to obey. None of them were coming forward, but none of them wanted to get in trouble for something else either. "That gross old lady is gonna find some way to pin this on one of us. I just know it."

"Would you relax?" Rise hissed under her breath, glancing back at him as she opened her book. "She probably just misplaced it while she was too busy thinking about new ways to make the boys in her class feel uncomfor-huh?"

She cut off when she felt a page slide over her fingers in a way that wasn't natural. Looking down, she saw a piece of paper fluttering to the floor. Did somebody toss it onto her desk? No, it was much more likely it had been tucked in the pages of her book and fallen out when she opened it. Brow furrowing, she stooped to pick it up.

And her heart stopped. It didn't take her more than a couple of seconds to figure out what she was looking at.

"What's that?" asked one of the boys. She had barely looked up at him when everybody else was craning their neck, trying to see. Instinctively, she drew away, even though she would later regret doing so.

"Miss Kujikawa, do you have something you care to share with the class?"

"Oh. Well… yes, Miss Kashiwagi, this fell out of my textbook."

The woman slunk through the classroom toward her. Really, she started to think she ought to get a phone set up somewhere to grab video of the audacity of this cougar! She snatched the page out of her hand, stared at it… and her eyebrows shot up.

"This is it. The answer key." A ripple of gasps spread throughout the room, followed by hushed whispering. "Oh… but why would you need this, Kujikawa? Your grades have been consistently splendid."

"I… I didn't take it, I promise! It was just there already — I've never seen that before in my life!"

Noriko shook her head and tsked. "My, my, such acting skills. Not that I'm surprised, Risette. I would say that you must have been stealing the answers all along and that's why your grades are so high, but… this is the first time an answer key has gone missing."

"Miss Kashiwagi," Kanji put in suddenly, "come on, that's crap." Rise saw the teacher flinch at his disrespectful coarseness, and was thankful he pushed ahead immediately afterward. "Why the hell would she put that somewhere as stupid as her book if she was trying to cheat? Nobody's that dumb."

"Or careless," the teacher agreed with a long sigh, staring down at the page thoughtfully. For a long few seconds that had Rise's stomach twisting into knots. "Kujikawa, I'll supervise while you retake the test after school. If you score an above average grade on it, no cheating, I will choose to believe this somehow found its way into your book by mistake and we will forget the whole thing. But I had better not see you pull anything like this again, understand?"

The pop idol deflated somewhat. She had really been hoping the teacher would just believe her outright, and she wasn't thrilled at the idea of having to retake a test for no good reason. But all she said aloud was, "Yes, sensei."

"Mm. Now, if any of you choose to admit to a little prank on Kujikawa, you can raise your hand now, or see me after class. Where I can punish you suitably."

If only she didn't add that sinister chuckle as she walked back to her desk, hips swaying too much to be accidental…

"What the hell?" Kanji hissed to her as the teacher began to give their lesson for the day in earnest. "You didn't do it, right?"

"No, I didn't."

"Then how'd that thing get into your book? It was in your bag before you even walked into class."

Jaw setting as she stared through the blackboard, Rise growled, "Oh… I have a pretty good idea."

~ o ~

This time, Ai was lying in wait like a supervillain in her lair — even if it was just on the roof. Rise was already shaking her head and clapping as she walked up to her.

"Thank you, thank you." She even took a little bow before raising up to smirk devilishly at her. "And I'm sure you're pissed but trying to put on that brave face."

"You think this is tatemae? No, no. You're getting the real Rise, live and in colour."

"Sure, okay, whatever. But you must be here because of my little gift."

Rise leaned her elbows against the ledge, staring out over Inaba through the fence. Just sighing and thinking. Ai regarded her warily; she could see as much out of the corner of her eye. But she didn't say anything further as she waited for the response.

"It didn't feel good."

"That's it?" she snorted. "Wow."

"It didn't. Because you were my friend, and I miss you, and… I don't want to fight. Doesn't matter, though; I know I really messed up, and you're mad. And I can't change that; maybe… I can't ever change it. But does it have to go down like this? Really?"

Ai's tone wasn't as jovial now. She was still ice cold, not betraying any pain or rage. "Yes."

"Fine. But now it's my turn to let you know something."

"And what might that be? Please, Risette, bless me with your tiny little thoughts."

Rise spun to glare at her. "Oh, there it is. You think I'm small-minded, huh? Because I didn't know how to handle this from the beginning. Well I guess I was. But don't you think this is a pretty childish way to react? Trying to embarrass me, get me kicked out of school?"

"You mean the way you almost got me kicked out of school? Which could still happen, you know; I fooled them once, but what if I slip up? Or you slip up again? Could still come crashing down around me. I'm used to shitty rumours circulating about me, y'know; these rumours are just new and unwelcome because they could mean the end of life as I know it. Hell, you could still just out me again more publicly, and then I'd be royally fucked. But I'm going to force your hand." She took a step closer, glowering down into her eyes. "I am going to push, and prod, and ruin, and unravel, until you either have to kick my ass, leave in defeat, or out me on purpose. You could do that, you know; it's always been on the table. But you really think you're a good person under all that fame and stardom and self-involvement."

Rise burst out laughing, biting as the sound was. "Whoa, whoa, amazing! You're sitting there, calling me vain again! YOU! I thought we already did this one."

Ai rolled her eyes. They were both drawn tight as bowstrings as they tried to navigate this situation, being so close to a person that had been everything in their eyes once. Rise knew she still felt that way. She only could guess whether or not her feelings remained requited, despite this feud.

"Fine. Then your days are numbered. I promise I'm going to be so happy when you're dragged off your pedestal, cutie."

"Sure," she snorted. "Because we both know that's not true."

"Oh, it's not?"

"No. You still love me." Even while Ai let out a blast of harsh laughter, Rise pushed ahead. "And I still love you. So you doing this to me? It's only going to be a bad look for one of us."

Ai's dark smile finally faded into a blank look. "I didn't think you would admit it. Wow, I really wrapped you around my finger, didn't I?"

Rise felt that. She saw the glimmer of hope, she knew she had to grasp it. But with Ai dead set on her current path, she didn't know how. So she simply whispered, "I will do whatever you want. Okay? Anything to make it up to you. I already would. But you have to act like I'm not a monster first, just… give me something to grab onto. Tell me how to be better."

Ai frowned, brow creasing the tiniest bit. She leaned closer, and Rise felt her heart leap into her throat — amazed this was going to happen, here, on the school roof where anyone could see them! Her eyes began to slide closed…

But before they were shut, she saw the smirk and her heart was already sinking. The writing was on the wall. Words weren't necessary; all they did was pour salt in the wound Ai had already ripped freshly open.

"You can't be better, because you can't be me."

Then she strutted confidently off toward the stairwell, leaving a bruised and battered survivor on the battlefield. Even if Rise wasn't the victor, nor had she died; it was something of an emotional break-even. But she would need a while to recover from the skirmish regardless. Anyone would have.

~ o ~

It took Rise until she was already walking home from school, a successful retake of a test she hadn't cheated on already under her belt, to realise the silver lining of all these events. The temptation to be so unbelievably furious with Ai was strong, as was the painful longing for release — to give up, to either forget about Ai forever or just retaliate to give her what she seemed to want. The idol didn't know what to do but she felt like doing nothing wasn't acceptable.

But eventually, as she was staring into the rippling water of the Fuefuki, it came to her. Clarity. The realisation that there was a flipside to just how ardently her former friend was pursuing this line of vengeance.

"Ohhh," she breathed softly with a slowly widening smile. Bittersweet though it was. "I get it. That's really sad… but I get it now."

Unfortunately, nobody was around to hear this revelation, so she didn't tell anyone. Not yet. That was something she could keep in her back pocket for a little while longer.

To Be Continued…

[2] wrong send; t.k & j.k

WARNING(S): MENTIONS OF SMUT, CURSING, CHEATING ON PARTNER, HUMILIATION KINK.

PAIR(S): JUNGKOOK X READER, TAEHYUNG X READER.

SUMMARY: You accidentally send a nude that was meant for Taehyung to your history partner, Jungkook.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No? What did he mean by no?

You shifted uncomfortably as you sat on the lid of the toilet. Was he going to expose you to the whole school? Was he going to blackmail you into doing his bidding? Shit. Of course you shouldn’t have trusted that innocent smile.

God, his doe eyes didn’t help either. Jungkook just gave off an innocent, soft guy vibe in general. You could literally melt in his arms and cry at how safe you feel.

Not that you’ve been hugged by Jungkook. You’ve just heard stories from girls who ‘tripped’ and had Jungkook catch them.

Your phone’s screen lit up once more, you looked down at your phone and read the messages he sent.

JUNGKOOK - Come here, now. You know where my dorm is, I’ll be waiting.

A sudden chill ran down your spine at how stern his words were. You were scared out of your mind, were you gonna back out and just not go? nope.

You needed to explain yourself and maybe even beg him to delete your entire chat. You didn’t know what he want or what he was planning to do or say to you once you got there.

And you had a feeling that you both weren’t just gonna laugh it out.

You put your shirt back on and walked out of the stall, approaching the sink and quickly splashing your face with water.

You can’t let him sense how scared you are, he’ll just use that against you.

Taking in a deep breath and sighing, you looked at yourself in the mirror. Taehyung was seriously going to kill you if he found out. The way Taehyung got mad wasn’t in the screaming, angry way. It the rough sex kind of way.

Usually, you wouldn’t mind when he got his way way with you in a rough manner. But, when Taehyung’s furious. He takes his anger out on you.

No, he didn’t abuse you. But you’d just end up being ten times more sore the morning after. He knows how much you hate marks around visible areas so he’d make sure to mark you in every place you hated marks to be.

You rushed out of the bathroom, swiftly avoiding each person or item in your way. You weren’t in any sports team or club, you just had a knack of avoiding things. Like your problems for example.

The dorms for both boys and girls was just next to the school’s building, so you didn’t have to run as far. The only problem was the fact his room was on the fifth floor. There was an elevator for the dorms but they were always full or slow as shit.

You ran up the stairs as quickly as you can. You were scared as to what exactly would happen if you took more than an hour in getting to his dorm. You didn’t want to piss him off by taking your sweet time, he was already doing you a favour by hearing you out.

You panted heavily as you stumbled towards his door. The fate of your reputation and relationship with him and Taehyung rested right on the other side. It sounds dramatic, but no one can really predict what life throws at you.

You took in a deep breath and fixed yourself. You shakily rose your hand up and knocked three times on the wood. Fuck. “Jungkook? It’s me, you called me here remember?” You heard some shuffling on the other side.

“If now isn’t the best time I can just--” You couldn’t even comprehend what was happening until you felt yourself being pulled into the room and having your back pressed against the cold wood.

You felt two thuds by the sides of your head. Looking up, you saw Jungkook’s eyes staring right into yours. You wanted to look away from his strangely intimidating gaze, but you’d rather look into his eyes than let your thoughts run wild as you looked down his body.

Jungkook wasn’t acting like himself.

The Jungkook you knew always wore a bright smile and had an innocent aura. This Jungkook wasn’t smiling, nor did he look like he was in the mood to play around.

“Jung-” You began. “Did you do it on purpose?”

Your breath hitched, his voice was so low. You felt that familiar chill run down your spine, a feeling that only Taehyung was able to give you until now.

“Answer me.”

You narrowed your eyes in confusion and crossed your arms, trying to show that you weren’t fazed by his actions. “Why would I send that shit to you on purpose? You know that I love Taehyung.”

Jungkook rolled his eyes and scoffed, leaning in closer to your face. Your eyes widened, you uncrossed your arms and rose a hand to push him back. Only to have your hand pinned against the door. Your wrist completely pressed back by his strong grip.

You tried using your other hand, your hand quickly having the same fate as your other one.

“You really think I believe that shit? I’ve seen the way you look at me during P.E. I must really have an impact on you if I make you wet even when you already have such an attractive boyfriend.”

His eyes stayed on yours, observing your reactions as his mouth spilled such filthy words.

You felt your face heat up at his words, but you stood your ground. “Listen, it really was a wrong send. I promise it was for Taehyung, I swear.”

Jungkook stood silent for a few seconds, not releasing his grip on your wrist. His grip didn’t hurt you, but they were firm enough to keep you in place.

“So.. are we good?” You hesitantly asked, looking up at him with hopeful eyes. He turned his gaze back towards you and gave you a devilish smirk, “Nope.” He replied, leaving you stunned.

“You didn’t deny it.” You tilted your head in confusion. “What?” You asked.

“When I said that I made you wet, you didn’t deny it.” Jungkook said, his expression unreadable. You couldn’t tell if he was guilt-tripping you or if he was teasing you about it, either way you were at a loss for words.

You nervously swallowed, shit. You didn’t want to admit he was right, but he was. You really couldn’t be blamed, other girls in class found him extremely attractive as well even if they had boyfriends. Then again, Taehyung was just as sexy.

Jungkook noticed your silence, he chuckled darkly and leaned in to whisper into your ear. “What a greedy little slut.”

You froze, not liking how your knees felt weak at his words. You tried to lift your hands but he only pressed down harder, keeping you in your place. “What the hell are you doing, Jungkook?” you hissed, making him pull his head back to look into your eyes once more.

Jungkook licked his bottom lip, his doe eyes darkening as his eyes drank in your vulnerable state. “You owe me.” He casually spoke.

“I- excuse me?” You asked in disbelief.

Jungkook smirked, “If you want me to keep quiet.. You have to do something for me.” Your eyes narrowed. “How sure are you that I’ll just let you boss me around?” You spoke, attitude laced in your tone.

“Taehyung and I have the same tutor, I have his number too.” You rolled your eyes and scoffed, “Like I’ll believe that shit.” “Really? So the number xxxx-xxx-xxxx doesn’t ring any bells?” He confidently replied, chuckling as he saw how your eyes widen.

“Face it, babygirl. You’re at my mercy now.”

You stayed quiet, you felt yourself shaking at this point. You hated how you were scared, you hated how you owed someone as evil as him. “Don’t be scared, baby.” His voice sounded much more gentle.

You looked up at him, finding comfort in his sincere eyes. Jungkook leaned into your ear. His voice sounding husky as he whispered, “If I were honest, this isn’t the first time I’ve thought of having you under me.”

You exhaled slowly, your heart was beating fast. You felt him trail his lips down your neck and onto your collarbone, sucking on the exposed flesh.

You let out a small whine, your head falling back into the door as you closed your eyes. He gently bit down on your skin, causing you to give him a moan as he bit down harder. You felt hot all over, the atmosphere suddenly feeling heavy.

You felt his lips curl up into a smirk as he noticed your thighs press together to relieve tension. Jungkook pushed his knee in between your legs to spread them apart, hissing as he felt how hot you were down there.

Feeling him let go of your wrists, you wrapped your arms around his neck. You pressed yourself up against him, feeling his hard member against your thigh. You were doing this for the sake of your relationship with Taehyung, you had to play along with whatever Jungkook wanted.

Did you feel guilty? of course you did. You were basically cheating on him at this point. You tried telling yourself this was all for him, but you knew in the back of your head you could’ve thought of a better way to get Jungkook to be quiet.

You were just too desperate to think quicker.

Pulling him closer, you kissed him. Your hands getting lost in his hair. Jungkook moved his lips along with yours, kissing back just as rough. He gently down on your lower lip, making you moan against his lips.

You rolled your hips against his thigh, pulling his hair lightly as you two kissed. Jungkook growled against your lips, pushing you back into the door. “What? don’t like it when the girl takes over?” You teased, smirking up at him.

Jungkook playfully rolled his eyes and held your hand, “I don’t mind actually.” He said before pulling you to him and pushing you to fall back into his bed.

“But tonight, you’re mine.”

CCW’s Top 69 list review

𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗨𝗦 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 & 𝗞𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝗞𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗟𝗘

Kourtney Kardale: Hey everybody and welcome. I am Kourtney Kardale alongside the suavest and dazzling Cassius Bates, coming to you live from the Squared Circle Confidential studios. Tonight, we will be bringing you all the hottest happenings within CCW. So, Cassius, the CCW dropped their coveted top 69 list last night. What are your thoughts about it?

Cassius Bates: Well Kourtney, it was an interesting list for sure, a lot of good names on there. But you know who was snubbed? Pao Chan. Rika’s puppet… panda… alter ego... thing! And we’ve seen widespread protests over this online since the list went up. But otherwise, it’s a pretty good list that covered the year pretty well, I think.

Kourtney Kardale: It did stir up a bit of an uproar with some of the talent. When I was looking down the list and it seemed fair for the most part. The list had a variety of wrestlers on it but it also had their staff listed.

Cassius Bates: But CCW’s always been good about that, like, anyone could get the Golden Ticket Championship… if they ran in here right now, we could win it and potentially make our way onto the list in the next year. That said, what do you think of the top three? Angel McMaster, C.J. Sweet and Chang Dong Geun? Were those the right choices? Or did someone get snubbed like a Winter Drell, Chris Constantine, Brew Collar or otherwise?

Kourtney Kardale: It's pretty fair to say that the top three of the list are in their rightful places. No disrespect to Winter and Chris and Brew Collar, but when you look at what Angel has accomplished over the past few months, her resume keeps building and most of her opponents are well known outside of CCW. C.J. has been trailing behind Angel holding her own with her accomplishments and facing top tier wrestlers herself. And the man who beat God and Allah. Of course Chang Dong Geun would round out the top three. He causes quite the stir.

Cassius Bates: My lovely colleague has a point folks. We’ll give you that, now, lets see. There are some more shocking placements on the list too, like the Children of the Moon getting the top rank as a tag team? Even outdoing the Dragons and Brew Collar who have had big years all their own. Jack Danielson even pointed out he felt this was low placement for the first ever two time Tag Team Champs. What do you think?

Kourtney Kardale: This one is a toughie. You have so many talented tag teams in the company and every single one of them are killing it. Jack makes a valid point. They should be higher up on the list, but higher than the champs? I don’t know. It’s sort of a slippery slope when it comes to that.

Cassius Bates: And if you move them up, you can’t not move up the Dragons, and there’s no ties in this thing so… It is a tough call for sure. I know somewhere Sydney Vahle is punching the air angry at that Farm Fresh Beef snub too.

Kourtney Kardale: Well, I guess you could say that they should be thankful because Valeria ranked lower than a mop. A mop! She didn’t seem all that happy about it and her friend Hunter is enjoying herself by torturing her relentlessly about it. Maybe Valeria needs to step out of her country music superstar friends shadow to make an impact?

Cassius Bates: Maybe but it could be worse, Heather Haze was actually pinned by that mop at one time! And while Heather got her win back, Haze is a championship level wrestler here, so that’s a championship level mop! No shame in losing to that mop. Now, a bucket… a bucket would really be embarrassing. But then, I guess we have to talk about the other elephant in the room, the staff on the list. Chellsea placed early, as did Faith, Verity, Felicity, Sydney, and more…. But Brennan Devlin was 69. He had to cheat for that, right? But Chellsea wouldn’t let him do that.”

Kourtney Kardale: Being number 69 is a place Brennan would place himself and would feel like he was the biggest winner on the list. Adding staff to the list is controversial. Who are we to say who goes on what list? I mean they are apart of the show. Besides the fans who come to the shows or watch at home, they play a pretty important role.

Cassius Bates: I still think we here at SCC should all make a secret pact to get on next year's list to be fair. You in?

Kourtney Kardale: I’m definitely all in for that. Speaking of next year though. With the amazing year that CCW has had, we have to look forward to what 2021 will bring. Will the landscape change? Will we see a new World champion? New faces joining the madness? What does 2021 hold for the CCW as a whole.

Cassius Bates: Well if 2020 was crazy, 2021 will be too. So, I think the best way to do this is, we could sit here and speculate but… how about this. We both name our top five CCW talents to look out for, those we expect to do big things in 2021… And considering I am nothing if not a gentleman, I think you should go first, m’lady.

Kourtney Kardale: Hmmm, I predict that Cartier will be booked more in the new year. Cecily Golding will finally turn on Brennan and be the hero the CCW needs. C.J. Sweet will continue to dominate. CCW announced through a tweet exchange that they signed Lourdes Hawthrone. I think she’ll make a big splash and debut strong.

Cassius Bates: Fun choices there, let’s see… I’ll start off strong. Ricki Wilde. As of this show, she has not lost a single match in CCW. Nothing. And I think she’ll continue. There’s a long rumbled rumor between various sources that the Director With the Merchandise, Dulce Desjardins may be stepping into the ring in the not too distant future, and I see big things for her as well. Deadeye Weston is another talent that I believe is on the brink of a breakout moment, he just needs the time. Let’s see that’s three, four would be the former Combat Crown Champion, Azi. Our resident demon had a big run in the CC division, so who’s to say? And I have a big scoop for you Kourtney. Breaking news, CCW has signed Ben Everest who will be making his debut at Wrestling With Christmas. Definitely big things in store for the big man.

Kourtney Kardale: Those are good predictions. But it’s time for my number one… Rika! I feel it deep down in my soul that she’ll have an amazing 2021. She was one of the first opponents of Angel McMaster, so you know that she can hang with the best of them. The whole thing is gonna happen.

Cassius Bates: Such a cold sell of that Ben Everest announcement. What did he do to you Kourt? Did he hurt you? But a very good list nonetheless!

Kourtney Kardale: I’m excited for his arrival. Anyway, I had a fun time discussing the top 69 list with you. CCW looks to be in good hands.

Cassius Bates: I would 69 with you anytime… Top 69. You know what I mean. It was great being here with you, Kourtney! See you folks next time!

Kourtney Kardale: Yes, see you guys next time. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah! Thanks for joining us.
