Chapter: Chapter 20 - Happily Wedded Bliss
Characters: Brooke Lennox, Sabrina Mancini
It wasn’t easy but Sabrina is being the bigger person by walking away. Obviously, the slap, but also Brooke’s reasoning is a lot to stomach. I know a bunch of you were hoping for a wedding catfight, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
Voting Incentive!
Because I protest too much…vote to see Wednesday’s update!
Whoa. Nice restraint Sabrina.
I agree. If that had been Mo getting slapped around she would have paniced and run off scream and crying.
I don’t know about that.I know you’d come running to me!
Anytime.. tuna breath.
Love the reaction of the guy in the back of the first panel, let’s hope that this doesn’t end up on something like youtube for Brooke, for some reason there’s always someone recording these things and posting these bad moments.
And thank you for not going down to a slap, if she did I’d really have to think about her strengths as a wrestler even if it was a surprise slap. I’m still trying to work out how that slap went down though.
Slapping happens a lot in wrestling. Do you think the guy in the background was hoping for more or just making a run for it?
I know that it happens a lot in wrestling I do watch it. It just ticks me off to the extreme when you see those women fall down from it.
“You’re not better than me.”
…wait, what? Where the hell did THAT come from?
Yeah, that was my thought… one thought does not lead to the other, at least for rational people. It seems like Brooke’s insecurity let itself out as being the real (frankly only) reason she’s decided to pin this on Sabrina.
Still, very disappointed that Brooke seems to have decided that character development is for losers and gone back to being a two dimensional biatch.
Same here. Reae it twice. Then again. Then I figured Brook is psych and it must have been one of those other voices.
Well Sabrina miight not better than Brooke but I’m better than her. Laughing hard.
It does seem like a leap of logic, but… this is Brooke we’re talking about. I too was saddenly by this turn. Brooke in the bathroom suddenly developed a conscience but then goes right back to her old self the next page.
yeah i had the same reaction as well. my best guess was that when sabrina was talking Brooke was getting the sound effect used on all the Charlie Brown specials when adults were talking “blah blah bla blah blaaah” and so Brooke filled in the blanks the way she wanted to.
or grasping at straws here- Brooke is “thinking” that by Brina saying Brooke wasn;t careful, that in Brooke-ese that means “if I(Brina) was sleeping with Michael i would have covered my tracks better than you.”
i suppose after the third panel Brina FINALLY says something to imply superiority by throwing Brooke’s faults in her face that Brooke finally has something to complain about but before then. ? or Broioke is psychic and knew brina would say that ahead of time and was pre-getting angry.
Adon hit it on the head, for Brooke’s reasoning at least. It stopped being about how Maddie knew and about Brooke’s self-esteem pretty quick.
On the other hand, I’m not giving up on Brooke growing up a bit from this experience. It’s been days for us, but not even multiple minutes for her. She’s still reeling from what just happened. I’ll be interested in seeing how she acts after tonight.
Sabrina didn’t do Brooke’s self-esteem any good by walking away. That’s twice in as many minutes that Brooke’s been dismissed as a credible threat – once in love, once in combat. Worst part is, it’s a fair assessment, and deep inside, Brooke knows it. I can understand why she’s about to wig out. I still blame her, of course, but I do get it.
So now Brooke will have to invent a new fantasy to justify herself.
Well, nice soap-opera stuff. Brooke is about to alienate herself from everyone that could help her. She’ll probably join the heels…but that won’t be a good thing for the heels!
Brooke could make a great heel.
She already was. Brooke’s been a bitch and a rule breaker from early on. Maybe just not so vicious as the Belles.
Oh, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke. *shakes head* You don’t exactly have the moral high ground, here, you realise that? You’re giving muscle-bound, silicone-pumped Aussie bimbos a bad name, you know.
And I’m not biased against you because I’m from New Zealand. Honest. 😉
Everyone knows Zeelanders like everyone. And what is wrong with Silcone?
Oh yes, we like everyone. We just like to pretend we don’t like Aussies. Yyess… pretend… And there’s nothing wrong with silicone, as I said, Brooke’s ruining it for everyone. 🙂
Hmmm. I’m really surprised brooke and chloe never got along. They have so much in common.
And by the looks of the sneak preview, Brooke is gonna prolong this. Somehow I’m not gonna be surprised if Maddie decides to call security and have Brooke hauled out of the wedding.
I will be surprised, Maddie doesn’t seem strong enough to do that.
Of course Brooke and Chloe never got along. Who wants an arrogant, vain, manipulative queen bee type around? Not the existing arrogant, vain, manipulative queen bee!
What would Brooke have to offer the Belles, anyway? Mentally, she’s Chloe without the (dubious) brain and leadership abilities. Physically, she’s like Kat Smith without the skills.
Coming off the successful “The Hulk” movies and with The Avengers in 2012, the brass at the local TV stations are looking to make a new series She-Hulk with Brooke from Rival Angels.
Her catch phrase is slightly modified: “Don’t make me angry. … you wouldn’t like it when the Blue She-Devil is Angry.”
Fans reactions to the iconic series are mixed. One because she’s Australian and two because they really don’t know who she is, but they love Sabrina ‘Ultra-Girl’ Mancini.
Brooke Hulk. If you make me mad I will accuse of you of something!
Prelude to the wedding brawl! I can’t wait! Come on Snowy! throw some catnip or something this wedding is getting stale and needs spiced up. Seriously,I hope this turns into a feud between Brooke and Sabrina there are so many angles you can go with this. good job ALBONE!
Restraint, for the win.
That said, it’s still not too late for this to be the beginning of a Sabrina/Brooke feud. Or, if Sun noticed this, for Sun/Brooke to become a reality. Either way, if a fight does break out at the wedding, I think it’s safe to say that Brooke is going to be the one who starts it.
Not better than you? Brooke, you were just calling a girl Fatty – at her own wedding! Not to mention she probably weighs a third less than you do. I get the feeling the next couple of chapters is about Brooke’s everything coming crashing down and her lashing out at everyone to try and blame them for it.
Brooke, you really need to start taking your medicine!
Brooke is taking it out on everyone now. I feel sorry for Sabrina, but I hope Brooke can cool down. On the other hand, this could lead to a good storyline. I’m so very torn! =P
The catgirls often make leaps like that. And not always off the top rope either. You’ll be going along and having a nice chat over catnip buns and a nightcap, then they are off in left field. Let me tell you that can be a high fly ball too.
Figuring out the path from “A” to “B” would make for a good game show. (Forget it. I have the idea registered already.) But sadly it would never make the latestfad. Reality TV. 😉
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke… when’s she going to get it through her head that about 99% of the roster is better than her in one way or another? Being a mattress maiden might get you short term perks, but in the long run, all you end up with is a bad case of herpes
Voice of experience, Donny? LoL
Yeah, but not personal experience. I know a few guys in High School who fell for that sort of skank. They went on to regret their decisions
oh almost forgot- said most of what i wanted earlier but now has Maddie actually apologized to Brina for suspecting her to be the one sleeping with Michael. i don;t think she ever accused brina of it except for the icy reactions Maddie always had when her name was mentioned. or does she just think brina’s sleepign with someone other than Michael and hasn;t changed her opinion on Brina? or is Brina next up on Maddie’s three way dance card?
The way this is turning out, we’ll go back into the reception and Sun will be misting Marina for flirting with her crush =p
Amanda…I like how you think. 😉
Sometimes I think Brooke has conversations in her head that didn’t actually happen.
SABRINA: Hi, Brooke. How did you sleep last night?
BROOKE: I am not a slut!
SABRINA: Ummmm, okay. Would you like a bagel for breakfast?
BROOKE: What do you mean my butt looks fat in these pajamas?
Trevor, you got it!!!! lol
Dyna, you know that Sabrina’s a bit of a hothead so this is actually pretty tough for her, kind of like you and Snowy’s restraint. XD
SotC, if Sabrina would’ve went down, I’d like to think it was the surprise of it all. I mean, she’s taken piledrivers and powerbombs so a little slap is hardly a sting. You are absolutely right about someone always recording in this day and age and you may even remember when Brooke made a comment about ‘trashy Youtube catfight girls.’ XD
2O2BC, the disconnect in logic that you are witnessing is Brooke projecting…of what she thinks Sabrina is thinking. Obviously, she’s wrong.
DragonMan, I think Sabrina had to walk away to prevent a brawl, Brooke’s ego aside. And Brooke can still show some restraint as long as she counts to ten or something.
Darkmark, she still has Amanda, at least for now. XD Maybe they’ll start their own group. O_o
alurker, that is very magnanimous of you because Brooke doesn’t like New Zealanders and she would argue with you about her ‘enhancements,’ pointing out that they’re saline. XD
Adder, you might remember that Brooke wanted desperately to be in Hell’s Belles but as Chloe put it, didn’t want any failures in the group. The Belles may have changed but Chloe’s still a bitch! XD
Kurt, you got me LOL’ing! Brooke could make a great She-hulk if they could greeny her up. But yah, I think people would still root for Ultragirl. lol
Snowy, that is hilarious! Brooke will even look at you crazy as she accuses you of something. 😛
Wokinshadoze, there’s a lot of readers that are hoping for a catfight, but I don’t know. Oh wait…you checked out the voting incentive, didn’t you? XD
Tarrasque, you can bet that Brooke won’t forget this and may include Sun on her list by proxy. But, what Brooke has in ambition, she is sort of short in talent, at least initially. Still a feud with Sabrina and/or Sun would be pretty cool.
Cookie Ogre, if Brooke wanted to make sense, she would’ve stopped a long time ago.
GhostEraser, or maybe a stronger dose?
Zanan, enjoy the torn-ness and relax in knowing that the answer is about to present itself. 😉
Champ, that does sound like a fine game, especially with a great subject like Brooke!
Donny, it will be a very sad day for Brooke should that day ever come. I like the term, ‘Mattress Maiden!’
jpiv, Maddie has NOT apologized and probably never will despite her ill will towards Sabrina. Also, Maddie won’t be extending that offer to anyone else ever again. She’s learned a very painful lesson there. As for her feelings towards Sabrina…what can I say? She just doesn’t like her.
well looks like some one has finally got a competitive fire lit un her butt , nicely done Bree your awesome ness inspires others to greatness
Yeah, I agree, Sabrina what was best in the situation by walking away. Unfortunately, Brooke’s situation is such that it’s insulting and hurtful to be looked down on that way, and it just starts more problems.
Brooke isn’t going to see reason and count to ten. I really do hope somebody restrains her and escorts her out. I’d do it, if I was there.
I think the entire thing is about Brooke’s low self esteem. Brooke needs to gain some self confidence all her behavior stems from a total lack of confidence in herself.
Comichero, this will be one heck of a backfire if Brooke decides to take her inspiration out on Sabrina!
DragonMan, this is a bad situation and there’s not a whole lot of good that can come from it. But maybe the girls can get together later and talk things out. Or something.
Tiffany, it is true. Brooke had a big win for her at the PPV over Monica Rumble, but she’s still behind her roommates in skill and standing. She can make that better for herself with hard work, and with it some self-confidence. But she’s got to put in the work, IMO.
A nearly 6 foot amazon beating a 4 foot Monica is not exactly a huge victory. Sabrina tried to help her with match in the training room against Suzy Cettina, and Brooke felt pretty good when she nailed Suzy with her heartbreaker. But, Brooke’s brain is the issue. She always takes the easy way, short cuts, work arounds, etc.
Best thing is to bail on the reception, cool off and re-evaluate what to do next. And she better pray that Maddie won’t come gunning for her.
