After her first lose and failing to make the second show Stacie sits at the bar of the tower in the XWA lounge. She felt worthless again...the two women she had aligned herself with had up and disapeared and she hadn't seen Essence since they "did it". Every one seemed to be just brushing her off as nothing...just another face in the crowd. Just another small fish swimmin in a tank fulla sharks.
Sitting there with a beer in front of her Stacie takes a large gulp and finishes it slaming it down on the bar before staring at the bartender...
Get me another beer...NOW!
Not responding with words the bartender pops off the cap to a another bud and puts it in front of Stacie before walking away to help some one else. Stacie knew that drowning her sorrows away wasn't goin to work but she couldn't think of any other way to feel better so she takes a gulp out of the bottle and just sits there quietly...

Sitting off in the distance, Heather notices Stacie by the bar, tossing back beers like they were glasses of orange juice. There was definatly something wrong if a woman like her was doing this. Heather, being the kind hearted woman she is, decides to go make an attempt at seeing what was wrong...
Uhm...Stacie right? I was just wondering how many of those you've had. Binge drinking has never really been the "in" thing to do. What's going on? You look...well...DEAD.
Heather takes a seat beside her, awaiting an answer.

Taking a second to think about how many beers she's had Stacie replies to Heather...
BoUts....5 or so....
The beers were staring to blur her vision...because it takes Stacie a few seconds to recognize the person talking to her as Heather Fierhart. Slurring her words Stacie responds...
Yeeuup,THHHaaaTTTSSSS Meh, Heather...

Heather thinks to herself...
Crap. What is it with me and emotionally embattled women.[/i]
Taking a deep breath, Heather continues.
Stacie. Darling. Sweety. Babe....GET A GRIP!!! Look at you. Thing aren't going your way and you're drinking yourself into a coma. What's going on with you? You're brother would clobber you if he saw you like this. Hell, I wanna clobber you for getting like this, girl. SNAP OUT OF IT!!!

Stacie was just about, totally shitfaced...but she was sober enough to know that Heather was right...pushing the bottle away Stacie looks at heather the best she can and tries to respond in a normal slurr free voice...
Well...I'm wortlesssss...lost first match to some jap who up and left...haven't seen Jason in about a week...I completely failed to get on the next show...
It wasn't nearly as bad as Stacie thought it was...In fact she wasn't doin' that bad...but she just didn't see it that way.

Jessica walked into the lounge, with nothing in mind just didn't know where else to go, when she sees Stacie looking well.....a mess. As Jess approaches she notices who is was, Heather Firehart, but introductions can be saved for later as she sees one of her friends indistress....
Stacie? Honey are you ok? what's wrong
She simply nods to Heather as they focused on Stacie

Jess faints a smile at Stacie's attempt to cover up that face she just saw on her a minute ago....
And just why are you having a drink or five with that face of yours upturned like that then, huh Stac ?
Jess then straightens her friend up

Heather looks to Jessica and speaks.
It seems Stacie here's having a rough go of life here in XWA. I'm trying to let her know that the world's not gonna end just because she missed the cut NOR if that dunce of a "friend" of yours hasn't called or otherwise. A good man is hard to find. I learned that the hard way. But your career has to come first. Just look at me, I've done pretty darn well for myself in recent months NOT letting my personal life get in the way of my career. ALL of my careers.
Heather waits to here what will be said next.

Jess looks to Heather nodding her head in agreement, too bad Jessica won't be following that mantra anytime soon, at least not yet.
See that Stac, put your career first right now don't worry bout "him" focus on your career for now and he doesn't come around then he wasn't worth it to begin with
Damn she was lying to Stacie's face she herself is putting everything on the line for a man, luckly he is worth it the only worth it....

With the effects of the beer slowly starting to were off...Stacie's slurring stops, and the depression slowly starts to fade away...
Thanks...Heather...Jess

Heather smiles and responds.
Trust me when I say that unless he's putting a ring on your finger, NO MAN is worth that kind of headache. All it does is fuel there egos. We women have to start standing up for ourselves. All I see nowadays is women walking around as arm candy for the boys. It's not a man's world, and this damn sure isn't a man's sport. I think I've more then proven that in the past. Girls, it's time to step up and show the world what you can do. That you can stand on your own and be INDEPENDENT. Show these men that they need US, not the other way around.
Heather bangs her fist on the table. She was certainly fired up by her speech. The question is was did Stacie and Jessica feel the same.

Listening to Heather and Jess Stacie smiles...if they only knew what Essence could do...  . Heather's speach had moved Stacie yes...but not to ditch her giant man-toy. It moved her to try and prove to everyone that she was as good as any man. Looking over at Jess Stacie asks her...
So..Jess...what brings you to the lounge?

Jess's mind was running for an answer that wouldn't give away her real intentions for being in the lounge....
Uh....Me I was hoping to catch a old friend here today
Dumbass
