"The last thing people expect, Kit-Kat....is the unexpected."
Even though Daddy has a knack for stating the obvious....he's right. People have certain expectations in life. If you can keep them sticking to those expectations, it's simple to trip them up.
As Tupac and Dre finish telling the crowd about the "sunshine state where the bomb ass hemp be", your music start blaring from the green, paint chipped, loud speakers. The tune is...catchy...and a bit haunting. I'm not sure what a "mawnster" is, but the assembled crowd seems to get the meaning as you come marching down the ramp and straight up to the ring. The look on the announcer's face is more than priceless as you cut him off from your intro which is fine with me. His voice is annoying as hell.
You expect the crowd to know who you are. Again, it's all about expectations.
I mean, look at me. A "cute blonde" with the face of an angel and I'm about to square off against a reject from Lucha Underground. Not that I'm really complaining...I like the mask... a lot. Probably more than I should and probably more than my therapist would like hearing about, but I just can't help it. Back in the Family League, masks were our gimmick. Mom, Dad, and I wore them when we battled and I always had a feeling of...I don't know....power, I guess, when I wore one. The look on an opponent's face when they realize they can't quite read your expression or just think you're a whackjob. Either one gets you where they don't want you to be....in their head. So, when I see you stare me down, I don't even blink. I know the game and I know the results of letting you win that game. I continue my fake yawning and making sure I didn't get ripped off on this manicure as you approach.
Anyway, the 'expectation here, I'm sure, is for me to suddenly cower in fear or let you intimidate me or both. Granted, you are a pretty imposing figure and, if I don't keep my head in this, I'm going to get hurt....badly.
Nope, can't think that way....gotta stay on a positive note...gotta push those feelings way down deep and use them for fuel. I'm going to need all the help I can get, I'm sure.
You stride over to me, bold as you please and, again, go for the mental game. My nostrils flare as I get a whiff of your manly, musky scent and I chew, a bit, at the corner of my mouth, right before it upturns into a smile.
The unexpected? It's coming.
“Last chance to walk away. Stay and there will be pain.”, your gruff, Batman-esque, voice tells me as you lean in and whisper about my impending doom.
"Well, one thing is for sure", I grin, "you sure got that...RIGHT!" I shout as I try to hold your gaze and snap my right leg up and bend it. Aiming my gold padded knee right for that large bulge in your black trunks. Yeah, it's cheap and, yeah, it's a bit of a risk....but no risk means no reward...
.....and I'm looking for gold here.
