OMG, so sorry it took so long to proof read this, I was busy
beating SR3 so I could keep writing! XD
________________________________________________________________________________
[center]2012
It had been two years since Shaundi and Evelyn had split. The
initial rehab bout had lasted for about a month, before Evelyn
relapsed again. From there, it was all downhill. She had been in
and out of Rehab and Prison as far as Shaundi knew. Shaundi
still felt the pain from it, but she didn’t let anybody know
that, especially none of the saints. Shaundi stayed busy in an
attempt to drive the pain away, keeping her mind off of things.
She slid her keycard, and the back door opened. She stepped
through, and slid her sunglasses to the top of her head. She
walked through the dim hallways of the labyrinth that was the
backstage area of the Ultor Dome, now the Saints Dome, to her
dressing room.
As she walked, several of her co-workers and crew members
nodded, and said small hellos. She nodded, giving small smiles
and small greetings to a few. She opened her dressing room and
flicked on the lights. She walked over to her mirror, and turned
on the lights around it. She looked around, as far as dressing
rooms went, it was nice, deep purple walls, nice furniture, a
walk in closet, as well as a shoe cabinet.
Shaundi walked over to her closet, and flicked through her
clothes till she found what she wanted to wear today. She picked
out a deep, brotherhood red camisole, and a cropped black
jacket, as well as a pair of black cotton pants, and a pair of
heels, these just so happened to be the pair that Evelyn gave
her. They had a few more scuff marks than they used to, but they
where comfortable.
She dressed, then sat in front of her mirror and ran her fingers
through her hair, moving her sunglasses to the table. She then
stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was beautiful, even
without makeup. She put on some eyeliner, mascara, and some lip
gloss. She then plugged in her straighten-er, and waited for it
to heat up. As it was heating up, she heard a light rapping on
her door. “Come in.” She said, projecting to where she could be
heard through the door. The door opened slightly, and her
manager leaned in. “You doing ok today Shaun?” Shaundi rolled
her eyes, “It’s Shaundi, I told you I hate that. And yes, I’m
fine.” He chuckled, “I know you hate it, that’s why I do it.
Anyways, you’re on in 15.” She nodded, “Thanks.” he nodded,
then shut the door as he exited.
There was another knock at the door, and she, in an annoyed
tone, snapped, “What?” thinking it was her manager again. Johnny
Gat opened the door and walked in, “Touchy today Shaundi?
Anyways, I need to tell you something.” He pulled a chair over
to her side, and sat down, she looked at him and asked, “What is
it?” she turned to him fully, and he said, “Ok, so I assume you
heard Ev was released from prison right?” She nodded, Gat had
paid her bail and she was placed under house arrest, under
protective custody of Gat himself.
“Well, I was walking around the hideout last night, and I passed
Ev’s room. The room was dark, but her TV was on. I kinda peeked
in, she was crying, watching a re-run of your show from when it
first aired, I think it was the first episode, the one where
Genki made an appearance, anyways, she was cryin’ and shit so I
asked her what was wrong. She told me that she felt horrible for
how she’d treated all of us through her addiction, that she was
so proud of how far you’ve come along, and that she missed you,
still cared about you.”
Shaundi looked down for a second, she didn’t say anything. She
felt a glimmer of hope, her and Evelyn may be able to work
things out after all! But she didn’t let that glimmer of hope
show on the outside. “Ok.. Well that sucks for her, I’m over
it.” She then turned to the mirror once more, and began
straightening part of her hair, running the straightener through
her hair quickly.
Gat stood, and said, “So I guess that’s it then?” Shaundi
nodded, “Yep. Cya later.” He nodded, then as he exited, he
turned, and said, “You really should think about it, she still
cares about you, a lot.” Shaundi nodded, “Ok Gat, thanks.” He
grimaced slightly, and shut the door. As soon as the door shut,
Shaundi put her straightener down and threw her fists into the
air. Evelyn was gonna be hers again in no time, although, she
couldn’t make it THAT easy on Her, not after what Shaundi had
been through.

The camera man looked at Shaundi, and counted down, “And we’re
back in three, two…” He then pointed at her and mouthed, “GO!”
Shaundi put on a smile, and said warmly, “Welcome back! So today
we have three very lucky contestants, and here they are!” She
motioned to her left, and a stunningly beautiful woman walked
out of the hallway that contestants usually came out of. Shaundi
looked around, then back to the woman and blinked. “Ev?” She
asked, stunned. Evelyn wore a knee length purple dress with
wedge heels. She still looked amazing, her body had, if
anything, improved with the prison’s strict new workout policy.
Evelyn smiled, stopping a few feet away from Shaundi. “Shaundi…
I have something I need to tell you.” Evelyn’s voice was a bit
different… a bit deeper than it used to be. Not by much, mind
you, but the change was still there. It made sense too, seeing
as all the shit Evelyn’s been through. Shaundi looked at Evelyn.
Her hair was pulled back in a bun, held there by two chopsticks.
Her bangs hung loose, framing her perfect face. Shaundi forgot
for a second that she was on air, and said, “Go ahead.” She
turned to Evelyn, and crossed her arms.
Evelyn looked down quickly, then looked back at Shaundi, and
said, “I still care about you, I still love you. The only thing
that got me through my addiction was me clinging to a small,
microscopic hope that one day, we’d be able to be together
again. Please don’t make that hope be in vein, please… I’m
begging you, take me back.”
Evelyn’s eyes looked like tears where about to flow, the
audience all “aawed” at them. Shaundi kept her chin high, not
letting Evelyn get through the tough girl shell yet. “Do you
know what you put me through these past two years?” Evelyn
winced slightly, and looked down. A tear fell from her eye, and
landed on the floor next to her foot. “Yes, I know what you’ve
been through, and I know it was caused by me, and my addiction.
But I’m telling you, I’m back to where I was, I’m clean now, I
have been for three months, why do you think I was released? It
was on good behavior.” Shaundi looked down at the ground, her
hair covered her face slightly. She looked back up, and into
Evelyn’s eyes. She couldn’t fight it anymore, the urge to wrap
Evelyn in a tight hug was insatiable. She gave into that urge,
and rushed up to Evelyn, hugging her tightly.
The crowd cheered, then Shaundi felt as though she was in heaven
once more, her lips met Evelyn’s. Then, she heard a loud
beeping. She opened her eyes and looked around. “Fuck!” Shaundi
screamed, she was in her bedroom at home, these dreams had
started again, she had to get these to stop somehow.
Shaundi sat up, stretched, and rubbed her eyes. She got up, and
walked to the bathroom. She took a hot shower to calm her
nerves, once she got out her cell phone rang. She looked at it,
it was Gat. Really? She answered, “Hello?” “Hey Shaundi, you’re
headed in to do another episode of the show, right?” She
replied, “Yeah, why?” “Well, I’ve got an idea for a special
guest star, and no, it’s not Professor Genki.”
Shaundi thought this was eerily similar to her dream… “Who is
it?” She asked, almost not wanting to know. Gat chuckled,
“You’ll just have to wait and see.” Shaundi groaned, and said,
“If it’s just some random saint I’m going to kill you later.”
Gat laughed, and said, “Trust me, you’ll like them.” he then
hung up, leaving Shaundi with a ton of questions.
***
On the set of the Show
***
Shaundi was dressed in her usual “I wanna sleep with Shaundi”
garb, a black and white crop jacket, a light purple camisole
with grey fleur-de-lis on it, with a pair of purple latex pants
and a pair of black boots that where just short of knee high.
“… AAAAAAnd here’s your host… SHAUNDI!” With that, Shaundi
walked out of the archway and started down the ramp, waving at
the crowd as she went. Her theme was playing loudly, she had
chosen “Glamorous” By Fergie. She chose it because of her past,
which wasn’t that far behind her, now she was living the good
life, first class jets, money, power, but it wasn’t all she
wanted it to be. She was missing that one thing… Evelyn.
Once she made it down to the main stage, she did a small dance,
it was called The chorus lady. As she did so, she asked,
“Where’s my flowers?” And with that, several of the audience
members tossed roses onto the stage. Shaundi giggled as she
signaled for the tech operator to cut the music, he did so and
she walked over to the contestant screen. “So, as you all know,
we have three very lucky men here today to, you guessed it,
compete to sleep with me!”
She heard a man in the audience yell, “WHORE!” Shaundi shot a,
“Oh really?” Look into that part of the crowd and said,
“Security, find him and take him out back.” Several Saints moved
into the crowd, found the man who tossed the insult, and dragged
him quite against his will into the loading bay of the Saints
Dome. She cleared her throat, “Don’t fuck with Shaundi. Now,
where was I…” As she said this, the crowd laughed and cheered,
then she said, “Aah, yes, the guests. Now, here they are,
Bachelor number 1, tell me a little bit about yourself.” Shaundi
ordered as she walked towards the wall of silhouetted men.
And in case you where wondering, she never actually slept with
any of her contestants, they where all paid, that way once they
go backstage she can send them on their way, no clothing
removed. The whore image was an accident, when the producers of
the show signed her for the show, they forgot to change it from
it’s previous idea, the “I wanna fuck Annie” show, so they just
renamed it “I wanna sleep with Shaundi” and stuck her with it.
Bachelor one, after a pause, said, “I’m just an honest, caring,
nice guy from Stilwater who loves women, money, and power baby!”
Ick, he seemed like an ass, it was then that Shaundi was
thankful that she didn’t actually have to sleep with any of
them. Keeping her facade on, she laughed and said, “All right
then! Bachelor two!” After a moment, Bachelor two’s silhouette
popped up, it looked like someone wearing an oversized… oh no
way. They where wearing an oversized Gat costume. In an auto
tuned and very disguised voice, Bachelor two replied, “I’m just
looking for love Shaundi, don’t you wanna love me?” Shaundi
wondered… was that the guy Gat sent? Whatever, it wasn’t real
anyways.
“Contestant three!” His silhouette popped up as well, revealing
a tall muscular man. “I’m a good guy, I love tattoos and babes
though!” Shaundi shook her head, “Not something you wanna say on
air bud.” Shaundi retorted, walking over to her seat and sitting
down.
She then looked at the silhouettes and said, “So my question is
for Bachelor 1, what do you do for a living?” There was a
pause, then the Bachelor said, “Well Shaundi, I’m the manager at
a Freckle Bitch’s, it’s hard work, but it’s an honest living,
unlike a criminal or something, right?” Shaundi looked at the
camera with a, “Really?” Look, and said, “Thanks… now, the next
question for Bachelor 2, What’s your name?” Bachelor 2, in his
autotuned voice, answered, “My name’s Johnny Gat Mascot number
452, and you’re Shaundi.” Shaundi rolled her eyes, and then for
comedic effect, laughed.
“Now, Bachelor three.. Yeah I don’t care what you do or what
your name is. Anyways, we’re going to have a quick word from our
sponsors, see you back in a few.” Shaundi got the signal that
they where off the air, and Shaundi’s smile faded. She walked
backstage to the catering area, and grabbed a can of Saints
flow. She popped the top, and took a sip. It was overly sweet,
but Shaundi immediately felt the rush of energy that it was
famous for. She leaned against a table, and leaned her head
back, stretching her neck slightly. She was supporting her
weight with her left hand, she looked down at it, the black
Nautical Star tattoo had been redone, it was fading too quickly
because the tattooist that did it originally didn’t use the
right ink. It looked better than the original, she had to admit.
Shaundi then moved her fingers, lifting the ring finger over the
rest. She read the inscription, “Shaundi + Evelyn” With a heart
next to it… she sighed. “Good times.” She muttered as she took
another swig of the Saints flow, then set it on the table and
walked back out onto the set. She took her seat, and signaled to
the camera man that she was ready.
The cameraman nodded, and Shaundi looked down at the floor,
thinking for a second, when she heard a familiar sound on the
floor coming towards her. She looked up slowly, to see Evelyn
Saunders walking from behind where the Bachelors where, she had
the Gat mask underneath her arm.
Shaundi grinned slightly, so… this was how she planned to get
back with Shaundi… it was cute, but Shaundi couldn’t make it
that easy on Evelyn. Speaking of whom, she looked gorgeous. She
wore a purple camisole, with a pair of torn up dark washed
jeans, and her trademark stilettos.
“Well, Well, Well, If it isn’t Evelyn Saunders.” Shaundi said
boldly as she stood, crossing her arms and staring face to face
with Evelyn. Evelyn threw the Gat mask away from her, to the
floor, and said, “Shaundi… I need to tell you something.” Her
voice, like in her dream earlier, was different. It was a bit
deeper, but, again, it made sense seeing as all the shit she’d
been through the past two years.
“Go ahead, talk all you want.” Shaundi said coldly, staring
Evelyn in the face still. As Evelyn got closer, Shaundi could
tell that Evelyn had been crying the night before, her eyes
where red and slightly puffy. How much of her dream could have
been true? Evelyn got close to Shaundi, about two feet away, and
Shaundi took a step back, causing Evelyn’s facial features to
fall slightly. “Shaundi… Words can’t express how sorry I am for
the way I treated you that night. I was so sick and needing
another score, as soon as I woke up in Rehab I knew that I’d
made a horrible mistake.” Shaundi looked down at the ground,
then back up at Evelyn.
“So, a ‘Sorry Shaundi’ and you expect me to come back?” Shaundi
inquired, her voice taking a slight edge to it. Evelyn looked
down as well, her bangs falling down into her face. She looked
back up at Shaundi, “Shaundi… I know I can’t make it up to you
with words, money, or diamonds, but I NEED you, the only thing
that kept me going once I got sober was my love for you. The
small hope that maybe one day, you and I could be back together.
Please Shaundi, give me a second chance.”
Déjà vu? Shaundi shook her head slightly, looking down as she
did so. The audience booed, and started a chant, “Take her back!
Take her back!” Evelyn’s eyes took on a deep look of pleading,
longing, and fear. Shaundi had to look away for a moment, she
wasn’t used to those blue eyes anymore. Shaundi must have ran
through different scenarios a million times in her head in that
instant, but the one instinct, the one feeling that she felt
controlling her the most, was an urge to grasp Evelyn into a
tight hug, and tell her that it would be ok.
Shaundi uncrossed her arms, then rushed up to Evelyn and wrapped
her into a tight hug. Evelyn returned the hug quickly, clinging
to Shaundi like there was no tomorrow. Evelyn shook slightly,
tears of joy? Shaundi ran her fingers through Evelyn’s hair, it
was soft and smooth as she remembered it being. “Don’t you ever,
EVER, do anything like that to me again.” Shaundi whispered into
Evelyn’s ear, a tear of joy falling down her face as well.
The crowd began to cheer, the other two Bachelors came out from
behind the barrier, it was Pierce and Johnny Gat in various
forms of costume, both with voice changers on. Shaundi parted
from Evelyn slightly, her jaw dropped at the two of them. “You
cheeky fuckers!” Shaundi jokingly said as she slugged Gat on the
arm, and nodded at Pierce, all the while holding Evelyn’s hand.
***
Two and a half years later
***
Shaundi’s eyes fluttered open. She looked around, to see her and
Evelyn’s penthouse apartment in the Tidal Springs district of
Stilwater. She stretched as she sat up, then looked next to her.
The woman that Shaundi loved with every damn fiber of her being
lay next to her, her white camisole slightly askew from the way
Evelyn turned in her sleep.
Shaundi leaned over and kissed Evelyn’s neck, then her cheek,
and said softly, “Wake up, Ev.” Evelyn stirred slightly, and
turned towards her. Evelyn’s facial expression changed into a
sleepy smile as she said, “Morning Shaundi.” Evelyn too
stretched, and sat up, looking around. After a lengthy kiss,
Evelyn asked, “What time is it?”, sleep still very heavy in her
voice. Shaundi shrugged as she leaned over to her night stand
and grabbed her phone. “7:30, why?” Evelyn perked up a little
bit, “We’ve gotta show that actor around, remember?” Shaundi
rolled her eyes and groaned. “Fuck, I forgot about that
asshole.”
Evelyn smiled slightly, “Come on Shaundi, he isn’t that bad.”
Shaundi shot Evelyn an, “O rly?” Glance as she got up and
grabbed her purple silk robe, wrapping herself in it and walking
downstairs. As she headed downstairs, she heard the shutters
open, they where automated.

Re: Shaundi's Side (SR2 & SR3 Story)
DIR By: Amaris
Date: November 17, 2011, 4:53 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As she walked to the kitchen, she glanced out the windows to the
beautiful scene that was Stilwater. Yes, the city had changed a
ton from the city she once lived in, but then again, Shaundi
wasn’t the same young, stoner girl either. Shaundi touched the
power button on the coffee maker, and it started brewing. She
then turned, and plucked the remote off of it’s spot on the
counter, leaning over it and pressing the on button, the TV
flicked to life with, “-n other news, The hit show, “I wanna
sleep with Shaundi” premiered it’s third season last night. The
show is still a smash hit, and if you all don’t recall, it’s
premier four years ago cancelled out the State of the union
address to the nation, Now that’s what I call power.” Shaundi
had to giggle at least a bit at that, she remembered the
managers telling her that it cancelled out the state of the
union address, she nearly fainted, seeing as her mother was
likely watching.
She’d since explained to her mother that it was like the WWE,
fake as Pamela Anderson’s boobs. Evelyn shuffled down the
staircase, “So, any interesting news today?” She asked, rubbing
her eyes slightly. Shaundi shook her head, “Nope, just the usual
update on the show, stuff like that.” Evelyn nodded, then
grabbed a cup of coffee, prepared it the way she liked, then
shuffled into the office, or armory, whichever you’d like to
call it.
To be fair, it was both, they had a killer computer, Ultor had
been kind enough to give them some of their newest and greatest
models for their own personal use, Shaundi’s laptop that she
carried to work was amazing, super fast, super light, and
strong. If she dropped it down a flight of stairs (Which had
happened before) it hadn’t sustained even a scratch.
Evelyn opened the gun cabinet, and flicked the light switch.
“Humm… do I wanna go light or heavy today Shaundi?” Shaundi came
up behind Evelyn and wrapped her arms around Evelyn’s waist.
“I’d say heavy, we are robbing a bank before noon, after all.”
Evelyn nodded, “Good point.” She then pulled a silver .45
Shepherd off the shelf, along with a thigh holster rig. “What do
you think you’re gonna wear later?” Shaundi asked, looking over
at Evelyn as she walked into the other room once more. “I dunno,
you mean tonight?”
Shaundi nodded, “Yeah, our reservations at Mikanos with Pierce
and Tamara, remember?” Shaundi could hear Evelyn take a sip of
her coffee, then remember about the reservations. “Oh yeah, I
was gonna wear a dress, never get to wear those things anymore.”
Evelyn said with a chuckle, setting the holster and .45 Shepherd
on the dining room table.
Shaundi looked through the weapons cabinet, she felt in the mood
for something… automatic. She looked, and had an ‘Aha!’ moment
with a TEK Z-10. She picked it up, and cradled it in her arms
like a baby as she walked to the dining room once more, setting
it gently down on the table before grabbing a cup of coffee and
heading upstairs to get dressed.
***
An hour later
***
Shaundi sat in front of her vanity, smoothing out any loose
flyaway’s in her hair as well as twirling the bangs that hung
down in her fingers, ensuring they got the perfect amount of
curl. “Shaundi, we’re gonna be late!” Evelyn called from
downstairs. Shaundi took one last look in the mirror, and
smiled. She was beautiful, the only makeup she had on was a
small amount of eyeliner and eye shadow, as well as a small
amount of lip gloss.
She grabbed her cell phone off the night stand as she hurried
down the stairs, picking up the TEK Z-10 as she walked to the
entry way. Evelyn came out of the Armory/office, she was
wearing… oh god. “Really Ev?” Shaundi inquired, holding the TEK
Z-10 with one hand and using the other to gesture to Evelyn’s
attire. “What?” She asked, her voice severely distorted by a
voice changer. “Really?” Shaundi asked again, gesturing again.
Shaundi heard Evelyn sigh, and then say, “Look, I dunno who this
Birk guy is yet, plus, it’s always fun to run around in this
thing, people never know it’s me under here.”
Shaundi rolled her eyes, and with a slight chuckle, “Whatever
you say Ev.” Shaundi opened the door, and watched as Evelyn hit
the Johnny Gat mask on the top of the door frame. Shaundi
laughed, and Evelyn groaned, “Not funny.” She said impatiently.
Shaundi walked back to the door and shut it, then said, “Hey,
you’re the one who insisted on wearing the Johnny Gat mascot
costume.” Evelyn playfully punched Shaundi on the arm and said,
“Shut up you smart-ass.”

Just caught up on the story. I had missed your style of writing,
it actually gets to you, it creates the imagery in your head and
it's fun to read, the grammer and spelling is perfect.
Everything but one thing is awesome about this story.
And this is just my opinion.
Gat seems like the biggest bitch now, he seems like a big girls
blouse.
But other than that awesome story and I'm looking forward to the
SR3 part of it.
After reading all of that I remember why I enjoyed this story so
much when you started it, all that time ago.

I gotta agree with Aussie! At time your story can get drawn out
with certain details and seem slow, but you can stop reading it!
The description and well written characters grab your attention
make the story spelling. I always enjoy yur stuff!
