Renee O’Connor had been humbled, she took on a friend in Adrienne Wilkinson and lost. If she lost to Victoria, she had Adrienne’s word that the loss would be avenged. If she beat Victoria, then she took Victoria with her. No matter what the last Hollywood catfight for Renee was going to be against Victoria Pratt.
After the fourth fight with Victoria they became friends and it was others she thought of for beating up Vic never her but after their last fight … It was clear she was the one to do it. She was the favorite in the match up, but she knew that was meaningless and the beating Adrienne gave her brought her back to earth. She could beat Victoria, but Victoria was just as likely to beat her
She heard Victoria got into a fight with Charisma Carpenter and won. Not only did Vic win but after winning Victoria Pratt challenged her to the final fight. It was time but right now she was in New Zealand. She was representing Xena at a con
“Didn’t want to fight me a few months ago.” Renee said as Julie Benz walked into the elevator
“Excuse me are you talking about me.”
Julie was there for Buffy and Angel. She was friends with Adrienne Wilkinson and realized why she was there. It wasn’t just for the Con.
“Excuse me I don’t know what your..” Julie stepped up to Renee stopping her from talking
“Listen Renee we can play the innocent games and all that stuff but we’re both in our forties, with bodies that we both kept well-conditioned. One of us still gets roles and sex scenes putting her in her bra and panties often. I’m not playing the fore play game; I’m not playing coy when we both know this is going to end in a fight. Your friend wanted us to fight you didn’t want us to fight… Are you here to say why or are you here to fight?”
“I fought Adrienne”
Julie’s eyebrow went up “Heard she was tough”
“She is tough, and she beat me.”
“Is that why you wont fight me like she wants. Afraid I’ll beat you as well. Take away your dream of Victoria retiring you”
Renee took out two hotel cards and got in Julie’s face. Then put one down and kept the other “Ive never turned down a fight with you. If you want the fight, loser pays for the damage.”
“I want the fight” She took the card “I agree to your terms. I’m going to put on some sweats and a tank top and come in and kick your ass.”
“I’ll be waiting in sweats and a tank and no Julie you won’t be kicking my ass” They were nose to nose when Julie reached her floor
“See you soon.”
They walked out and Julie spoke up “Renee you need to know something.” Neither turned to face the other they stayed back turned “When I come in for this fight I’m not going to feel sorry for what I have to do… this is a fight I’m in my 40s and won’t heal as fast as I used to but I won’t lose because I’m afraid to have something done to me. Do you understand??”
“Unfortunately, I understand fully what you’re saying, and I will fight the same.”
In their rooms they called the proper people to alert a fight was happening and in what hotel. The floor would be cleared, the damages would be covered and all that would be left was to find a winner between Julie Benz and Renee O’Connor
Renee waited on the couch in her most comfortable sweats and an old T-Shirt from when she was on Xena. It had a lot of wear on it but she loved it. The door opened and in walked Julie Benz in her sweatpants and a tank top “Wow you got a bra on or your tits really that good”
“they’re really still this good” Julie said
Renee got up “Maybe I should change that.”
“Maybe you’ll try and maybe I’ll try to do it to you. I always wanted to fight you.”
“And I never thought about fighting you.”
“Can’t blame you for not thinking about fighting me… All the ass kicking’s that you took from Pratt and O’Dell probably had you fearing everyone until a few years ago.”
“I beat up Pratt as many times as Jen did.”
“Yes but she has more wins on you and the things she did to you…”
Renee walked over to Julie “We both know what you are trying to do but for arguments sake… Ask her about our last fight which was the most one sided of all our fights. Ask her about our first fight which she barely won and ask her about the second which I left her beaten, tied up, naked and fucked. Jennifer O’Dell may very well be better than both of us and damn sure better than Vic…Know what this will be the first time I ever fought someone the same height as me”
“Weird thing… I don’t think I have either but my resume is damn impressive I just don’t need to brag about it.. I don’t need to think about the past to face you. I know we were set up because they hope that Ill push you and make you earn it… lets find out.” Julie pushed Renee with her chest.
Renee backed up then walked back pressed her chest into Julies and both tried to push the other and it ended up Renee again pushed back “Always good to start that way. You ready for real now?”
Renee backed up hands on hips upset a little at losing that contest of bodies. Yeah, she knew that there would be more, and she was acting like someone who was half her age or worst those big titted empty headed buffoons whose life was about how great their tits were.
“Just so you know because you look upset… I used to lose those to Charisma but today in this very year I’m more of a challenge in a fight than her.”
“Guess you know Victoria...”
“Destroyed Charisma yeah I know. I figure its why Wilkinson wanted us to find each other.”
Renee nodded her head to the side as if she agreed and also was tired of talking. Julie gave it a nod and did something Renee wasn’t expecting. She put her fist out to tap knuckles which Renee obliged and the two circled each other stretching their arms out by punching downward.
Julie engaged first throwing one jab then a second which she jumped into. The first was parried and the second was more to change position, and both retightened their defences and studied the other.
