Terra is on another date, this time with a different person. A pale female with black hair, and a gothic look to her, from her makeup to her outfit. They're in a much more moderate and cozy Pub, which seems to literally be called "The Cozy Pub". It's definitely not one of Lance's restaurants. They're both eating honey glazed onion rings for their starter. The girl is eating slowly, looking more focused on Terra than her food. Meanwhile, Terra seems to be angrily eating her food.
Terra: So then the other loser, CruZe interferes and costs me the match! Can you believe that?
Terra stops for a moment, feeling like she's rambling too much. She sighs and
Jade laughs at Terra's crude humour, not seeming to mind it at all.
Terra lets out a little chuckle whilst she stabs her onion ring.
Jade: You have a mum named Gaia?
Terra: Yeah, we live together. I'm staying with her for the time being. Bonding, I suppose.
Jade: That's lovely. My mum's version of bonding was giving me money for the shopping centre and telling me to bugger off.
They both laugh. Terra's already almost done with her rings. Jade still has a lot left.
Terra: Are you gonna eat that?
Jade: Go for it.
Jade passes the plate over to Terra, aside from the ring that's already in her hand that she's slowly pecking away.
Jade raises her eyebrow at Terra.
Jade: Annoying? I love wrestling. The only reason I didn't catch the last episode of Trinity yet was because I've been swamped at work.
Terra: What do you do?
Jade: Well, I want to wrestle, but right now, I'm in a band.
Terra: Ooh, a musician? You're not the bassist, are you?
They both laugh as Terra and Jade both finish their food. The waitress's timing is immaculate, as she comes in just as they finish eating.
Waitress: I hope you liked your starters. Here are your fish and chips.
The waitress puts the dishes on either side of the table. Terra starts on her fish, not even bothering to grab a fork. Jade takes her fork and grabs a chip, slowly biting into it.
Jade: I'm the drummer, by the way.
Terra: Oh, neat. Means you like to beat shit up. Maybe wrestling is a good idea for you.
Jade: Maybe. Good luck with your match though. Hopefully Lex doesn't interfere.
Terra: If he does, he's going to regret it.
Jade: What would you do?
Terra laughs a bit maniacally before swallowing the chip she was chewing.
Jade looks at Terra in awe whilst she takes a bite of her fish.
Terra: What? Kick arse and take titles?
Jade: Yeah. It's very admirable, what you do. I see why you're held at such a high pedestal.
Terra: Well, yeah. I talk shit and I back it up. Just look at how many people I've intimidated. Lex and CruZe sided together because they know I'm a threat. Haven stole my title because I'm a threat. The only mistake I've made so far is letting Snow get the better of me.
Jade: What's your plan for CruZe then?
Terra: Make sure his new friend doesn't get in my way. Then I'll tear CruZe's head off and keep my title. A bellend like that doesn't deserve to be Champion.
Jade: Hey, did you want the rest of my fish and chips?
Terra looks down and realizes the fish she has in her hand is going to be her last. The plate is empty. Jade, on the other hand, only ate about half of her plate.
Terra: You don't eat much, do you?
Jade: No, I've never had much of an appetite.
Terra: That's odd. You're not super skinny or anything.
Jade: I eat little by little. Being in a place like this is rather rare for me.
Terra: That's what you get for letting me pick the date.
Jade giggles at Terra's comment as she passes the plate over to her. The waitress comes by, looking a bit concerned.
Jade: Yeah, the food is lovely. I just don't eat that much is all.
Waitress: Okay, well, if you have the room for it, dessert will be ready for you soon.
Terra: Fantastic.
The waitress leaves, Jade keeping her attention towards Terra. Terra begins to notice how much more interested Jade is in her than anything else around them. She shuffles around a bit as she finishes up her last piece of fish. Right on time, the waitress brings them their dessert.
Waitress: Here's your strawberry ice cream.
Terra: The grand finale. Fantastic!
Waitress: Hope you enjoy.
Terra: Thank you love.
Terra gives her £50.
Terra: Don't spend it all in one place.
Waitress: Oh… that's unnecessary.
Terra: Oh, trust me, I don't need it. It's my pleasure.
Waitress: Thank you so much!
Terra: Don't mention it. I'll be back soon.
The waitress smiles whilst putting the £50 in her shirt pocket. She takes the plates before taking off. Jade just looks on with oddly loving eyes.
Jade: That was offly nice of you.
Terra: It's really not a big deal. I make a lot of money with Trinity. I'm a champion. I have money to spare. I'm not a miser.
Jade: Do you donate?
Terra: All the time.
Jade tilts her head, which is leaning on her knuckles.
Jade: Is there anything about you that I wouldn't like?
Terra: Besides the fact that I eat like a starving cow? I dunno… my family, probably. We're not as bad as we used to be, except my brother.
Jade: Vincent or Allen?
Terra eyes her for a moment.
Terra takes one last bite of her extra ice cream, and tosses a bunch of euros to the table, not seeming to care if it's the right amount. Terra: You pay attention… Allen. Vincent is a dunce at times, but he means no harm. Allen, on the other hand… that's a long story.
Jade: Maybe we could go to my place and talk about it.
Terra focuses on her food so that she doesn't have to pay attention to Jade obviously looking longingly at her.
Jade: At nine in the afternoon?
Terra: I'm not trying to lose my championship. I train night and day to be the best I possibly can be. I absolutely have to make sure CruZe doesn't take my championship. He deserves his comeuppance, and that's exactly what he's going to get.
Jade notices that Terra's bowl is empty. She gives her the half eaten bowl of ice cream that she was playing with. Terra begins to eat it without realizing anything.
Terra: I'm finally being recognized in a big time promotion, as I should be. Now is not the time for me to lose. I need to keep fighting. I have to keep winning. If I don't, then I won't live up to my namesake. My legacy is on the line. Not just my title. So, yes. I need to train. Tonight, tomorrow, the next day, until I remind everyone why CruZe screwed me in the first place.
Jade: And that reason is…?
Terra takes one last bite of her extra ice cream, and tosses a bunch of euros to the table, not seeming to care if it's the right amount.
Terra: You can find out if you watch this week.
She takes off. Jade looks on as she counts the money. She puts some in her pocket and notices Terra walk out the door. She slowly walks out of the door, going the same direction as Terra.
Dear Dumbass One and Two,
You think you're very clever, eh? Having New York CruZe interfere in my match after I had it won, and costing me the match. Now Lex has my title shot, and CruZe thinks he can take my title from me. It won't be so easy. Not even close. I already know why you two are buddy buddy now. It's because of me and Snow. We eliminated you both at the battle royal, and now you want to take our titles. I have some bad news for you two. There's no way in hell you're taking my title, and after Lex flops his match against Snow, I'll get the shot that I was cheated out of, and take it from him. Do you really think you're ready to face Psychonic? Everyone's after me because I'm the best in the promotion. Haven is after me, you two plonkers are after me, everyone wants to get one over on Psychonic. It's too bad I'll always prove why I'm the one on top. No one needs to put me on a pedestal, because I put myself up there, like I should be.
You can go ahead and use your cheap tactics, your numbers game, whatever you have to do to try and beat me. I'll just make you look pathetic after every attempt you make fails. I already know you can't out wrestle me. Why else would you have to cheat to win? Why else am I the one with a title around my waist, whilst you two wave your hands over your dicks to show off your imaginary belt? You'll only ever be second best when Terra Walker is around. All of you hacks are so predictable, between you two and Haven. Can any of you even wrestle? I feel like Snow, Pasha and I are the only ones. It's pathetic, really. The three of us have such a huge gap compared to everyone else. Obviously, I'm at the top. Snow may be World Champ, but it won't be for long. Usually, CruZe, I admire doing whatever it takes to win. I do it myself when I need to. Survival of the fittest is the most important thing. The difference is that I've been doing everything on my own. You had to resort to having someone on your side to do your dirty work.
I say that because I guarantee Lex will be in your corner. He's going to be right there. He's going to distract the ref. Lex can try to distract me, but that will fail. You're going try and use him to win a championship, and that is what makes you lesser than me. What I do, I do on my own. I don't need friends or servants. I don't need anyone else to elevate my legacy. I'm the one that kicks doors down, tears heads off, and makes history. That's the difference between you and me. That's what makes you a beta, and me Psychonic. So go ahead and bring your friend along. Have him do whatever he can to make your life easier and give you the slightest edge. In the end, I'll remind everyone why I'm the Nomad Champion. Trinity is my show. You're just another hack from a lesser promotion trying to weasel your way to a title victory. In the end, CruZe, you're going to face the cruel reality that the only worthy champion between the two of you and me… is forever Psychonic.
