Warming up

*Krystal is in a New Orleans Hotel room getting ready to go to the gym. Ice Queen is talking on her cell phone.*

Ice Queen: I don't care if it's his day off you tell him to be there. . . . Then tell me exactly what am i paying you for. . . . Don't take that tone with me or you'll be looking for another job.

*Krystal interrupts*

Krystal: Hey we need to get going I don't know where this gym is.

Ice Queen: *covering the phone with her hand* I know we'll go in minute the trainer I had arranged for is giving me a hard time. *going back the the person on the phone* You what! . . . NO! That is unacceptable. *Ice Queen walks into the next room speaking rapidly and at high volume*

Krystal: Come on will you. It's a cell phone you don't have to stay in the room to continue threatening someones existence. You can do that while walking to the gym that's why the service is called mobile.

Ice Queen: Hold on I'm getting another call. *Hits a button* Yes. . . . Today?. . . Where? . . . Fine let me get my sister to the gym. *She goes to change back to the first call* Can you believe it he hung up on me.

Krystal: Yeah it's a tragedy can we go now?

Ice Queen: I'm gonna have to get you there then leave you there for a while apparently the WWX press agent thinks last minute photo shoots are a good idea.

Krystal: Hey just give me the address for the gym and I'll get myself there. 

Ice Queen: I really don't like that idea.

Krystal: I'm not a little kid anymore. And I can take care of myself.

Ice Queen: No you're not a little kid but you are still not an adult you are a teenager.

Krystal: PLEASE!

Ice Queen: Give me your phone. 

*Krystal hands over her phone and Ice Queen types something in*

Ice Queen: There is the address just let the GPS do the rest and there are a few restaurants nearby I'll be there as soon as I'm done with the photo shoot.

Krystal: Fine I'll see what I can do without a partner or trainer because I doubt that guy is gonna show up.

*Krystal leaves the camera fades out for a moment then fades back in on Krystal at a Poboy Shop. She is arguing with a girl behind the counter who looks about the same age as Krystal.*

Krystal: Your sign says "More choices than Subway" but that's apparently a lie because everything I've asked about you've said "we can't do that" or "We don't have that". 

Girl: Our sign also says we deep fry everything and you're asking for grilled, steamed or toasted. This ain't California Honey-child.

Krystal: I can see that you have the necessary equipment to fill my request you're just refusing to do so.

Girl: Look here baby-girl ifin' you're gonna have a PoBoy somethin's gonna be fried on it. 

Krystal: You'd batter dip and deep fry the whole sandwich if I gave you the chance.

Girl: That's neither here nor there. Point is a PoBoy ain't a PoBoy unless there fried food on it.

Krystal: I don't need some thing that heavy I just need something light before I hit the gym.

Girl: We don't do light here.

*a familiar voice behind Krystal makes her stop the argument.*

Woman: you may want to consider subway then because you're not gonna give you anything light.

*Krystal turns around to face Beatrice Pendragon*

Krystal: What brings you in here? 

Beatrice: The guys standing outside, taking bets on who is gonna win when the punches start flying.

Krystal: Why do they think there is gonna be a fight?

Beatrice: I believe they said Tasha is about to whoop up on some little snowflake. I needed to see who the snowflake was.

*Krystal looks over the counter again*

Beatrice: come on I'll buy you a foot long at Subway.

*The two leave and walk a few doors down to the Subway. The pair sit down and chat while they eat.*

Beatrice: You gotta be careful when you wander around by yourself I'm surprised you're not with you sister.

Krystal: She's doing a last minute photo shoot so I'm left to find this gym she booked for me to workout at and when I left the trainer she's arranged for wasn't going to show. At this point I'm worried about being ready for Kate.

Beatrice: Which gym is she sending you to?

*Krystal shows her the GPS on the phone.*

Beatrice: I know the place. As for the trainer I can't tell you about him but if you don't have to worry about working out alone if nothing else.

Krystal: Hold on I just beat you for the title shot and you're gonna help me?

Beatrice: As you said it was just business. But I kinda feel the need to help you out before you go jumping into the rattlesnake pit. This is a title shot and from what I've seen and experienced Kate goes full tilt when it comes to her title defense. I guess you could say I'm getting a big sister complex at the moment.

Krystal: Well I really could use someone to spar with and you defiantly know what i can expect at least to some degree. I guess you can "babysit" me until my sister can show up and bark orders at me.

Beatrice: Babysit nothin I'm gonna wear your ass out. You done yet?

Krystal: Yeah

Beatrice: Lets go then.

Krystal: *gives a playful grin* And you're gonna be the one who gets worn out.

*Camera fades out as the two leave Subway*
