Departures and Arrivals

Zooey Deschanel, in a purple top and black jeans, paced the stage as she prepared to make the big announcement. One girl was leaving but another was joining. She clenched the mic and rose it to a comfortable level before her lips parted to begin speaking.

“Kelli Berglund is no longer with us. The separation from the Queens was mutual - we simply couldn’t provide what she needed and she lacked what we were looking for. It’s unfortunate but that’s the reality of the situation.”

Zooey continued, “we had plans for her - we wanted her to have a rivalry with Olivia Holt and to be a contender at flyweight. But that vision didn’t come true and in fact she was spiraling out.”

“But where one story ends, another begins,” Deschanel commented.

“Now, we turn the page and the new chapter is about a flyweight who can also compete at bantamweight. A girl so strong that you will learn to fear her the way you do Natasha but at flyweight instead of lightweight. Is she, like the other Queens, a ‘so-called’ “glass cannon,” only time will tell.

For now ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Queen’s newest rising star and Jess Bush’s actual co-star on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, British actress and singer Christina Chong!”

(Crowd cheers)

“And yes stables, we’re ready to set up matches with her if you think you can handle her.”

(Crowd chants “Bring It On!”)
