Scene opens up out on the patio of Antonio's Authentic Mexican Restaurant. The sun is beginning to go down over the horizon and the clouds blend together, shades of indigo, lavender and periwinkle, mixed with gunmetal gray, and there is a nip in the air, but refreshing in the relentless heat . The weatherman promises a 70% chance of thunder showers this evening, but the residents know better. In any case, it's a perfect night to throw back a couple cold ones and gorge yourself on Antonio's home made tamales and fresh salsa. The restaurant is presently experiencing that lull right before the dinner crowd comes trickling in, and the bar is already crowded, with not a single empty stool available. Saki Haru and Val Fox push their empty plates away from them and lean back to enjoy the cool breeze. A tiny hispanic waitress sashays towards their table and clears the plates, simultaneously withdrawing a pad from her apron and asking if they'd like any dessert or another drink, a faint spanish lilt in her voice accentuating the sparkle in her eyes as she flutters her eyelashes at Saki. Val rolls her eyes.
Val: I think I will have a slice of Antonio's Tres Leches cake, and a cup of coffee please.
Saki: Bottle of Dos Equis for me.
The waitress nods her head and turns to go, glancing over her shoulder and winking at Saki. She winks back and laughs at her sister making gagging noises across the table.
Saki: What are you gagging for? You should be proud that gurls find me irresistible. Would it make you feel any better if I was ugly as sin and twice as stupid?
Val: I was under the impression that that was exactly what you were....
She leans forwards and flutters her own eyelashes over dramatically, mocking the waitress and her sister. Saki snags one of the freshly made tortilla chips from the bowl in the middle of the table, and flicks it at her.
Saki: Hey don't get all upset with me because by the time you got around to being born, all the looks in the family had already been used up by me.
Val: Well if thats the case, then I'm glad the brains waited for me.
Saki: Ha ha. Anyway, I'm starting to get suspicious here Val. Last week you tossed everything in the kitchen except the sink at me, and today you take me out to this place and have been nothing but nice. What gives? Im half tempted to check The Enquirer and see if there has been any recent local alien abductions or something....
Val: Oh shut up. Can't a girl just treat her Sister out to a nice dinner?
Saki: Not when that girl is you....
Val: Ok, ok. Fact is, I'm actually proud of you. You went out there last week and got signed to CCW, so this week I don't have to be ashamed of you. I figured I'd reward you. Plus I wanted to talk strategy with you about your upcoming match on Bloodbath.
Saki: Ahh! Ok. You're trying to soften me up so you can put me through some of your hellish training! Thanks but no thanks sis. I got this week covered.
Val: But...
Saki: I SAID no. Look. They are practically handing me the #1 contendership on a silver platter here. I mean look at who I am facing. Sherry Delite, who seems to be under the impression that just because I actually have a life, I can't walk into this match next week and make short work of her.
Val: Cheri
Saki: Yeah, whatever. Besides Cheri can't be taken seriously at all, just look at what she has accomplished the last week. Absolutely nothing. So she has no credibility and I'm gonna make her pay for running her mouth. She couldn't even get a win over that other Chick , and damn it, what IS her name again?
Val: Beth Blair.
Saki: That's it. Hey wasn't that the name of those two retarded kids who wore their clothes backwards some time back in the 90s?
Val: Yup.
Saki(laughing): Yeah thats what I thought. Anyway, yeah her. By the time this match is over that girl is gonna be tired cuz I'm gonna have her jump, jumpin through hoops. Give her a glimpse of what it's like to play with the big gurls. Just enough to show them that they aren't and never will be on my level. So basically what I am saying Val, is this week I'm going slumming, scraping the bottom of the CCW barrel for competition. I'm just considering it the next step up to bigger and better things. And Cheri is just some of the little people I'm going to have to go though on my way to the top of this company.
Val: There we go, thats the Sister I know and love. Not that loser from a couple weeks ago.
Saki: You're just a little ray of sunshine ain't ya Val?
The waitress walks back to the table and sets down the drinks and Vals cake. She also lays down the bill for the meal and pushes it towards Saki. she flips the slip over and sees not a bill, but a scrawled phone number and a lipstick imprint with the name 'Eva' in purple ink. She pockets the slip and winks once again at the waitress.
Saki: Hurry up and stuff your face Val, I got things to do.
Val: Wait we forgot to tip the waitress...
Saki: Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it later. Let's go.
Val: What? You're coming back here again? Huh?
Saki: Grown people business sis. You wouldn't get it..let's just go. I'll explain it when you're older. Jesus didn't mom ever give you the birds and bees talk?
Val: Oh dear God... (retches)
They push back from their chairs and walk out to Saki's Avalanche parked at the curb as the scene goes dark.
