Manor was sitting in a McDonalds as he looked out the window. While he got some "hey you look familiar glances" from other customers and employees, they thankfully left him alone. He was wearing a black jacket with a Dodge logo on the back, a hat with the word "Chevy" on it, and blue jeans. He picked up a french fry and dipped it in ketchup before eating it. Boy did he wish it would warm up a little bit so he could at least wear a t-shirt outside again without shivering.

Tanden hurries into the Mickey D's from out of the cold. Good thing she was hungry. She makes her way over to the counter to make her order.
Welcome to McDonald's, can I take your order?
Yea. A number 6, please. A large.
And what kind of drink would you like?
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhm...Pepsi. Yea...pepsi sounds good.
A few minutes go by, and Tanden gets her food. Licking her chops as she walks down the isle with her tray, she sits not to far from Scott Manor's position in the restaurant. Just before digging in, she catches him in the corner of her eye.
Say, you work for XWA, don't you?

***As Tanden tried to get a conversation started with another superstar in XWA, Scott she believed, Kim walked over in Tanden's direction and spat at the ground near her feet.***
I was gonna spit on your food, but I figure there's enough spit in there already.....I figure they took a look at you at the register and went "oh there's that incredibly lucky bitch, ya know the one that escaped two matches by the skin of her teeth".......
***She chuckled***
Don't worry sweetheart......I'm sure in the world's eyes you're still their adorable child, the one that everyone can't resist, along with those other uppity bitches Ashley, Jamie, all of em.......
Come back with all the "oh you're just jealous" remarks you want Tanden, because I know how unfounded they are. I don't NEED another piece of hardware, the only thing it would do is add to my impressive resume, and get me another nice replica belt for at home so I can hang it on my wall.
***The devilish smirk just beemed on Kim's face, before she shot Scott a look.***
And what are you gawking at loser......this other loser, or the presence of the hottest, greatest female superstar in competition today.

Manor looks at Hunter not really smirking like he usually does if he's about to try and piss someone off.
Hmmmmm hottest and greatest? Not really. More like most overdramatic and huge attention seeker. I mean wow, to have to start a scene in McDonalds and without ordering anything. And to think. I left my ear plugs at home instead of bringing them with me.
Manor picks up his burger and takes a bite of it followed by a sip of his water.
And couldn't help, but overhear your talk about luck. Or maybe you made a mistake. Gasp Kim Hunter made mistakes? I didn't know such perfection could make mistakes.
The sarcasm pretty evident in Manor's tone as he rolls his eyes at the end of his words.
By the way, this loser is Scott Manor. You know, a guy who signed to XWA just recently and was looking forward to a decent snack without getting into a battle of words. But hey, shit happens I guess.
Manor dips 3 fries into his ketchup and takes a bite out of them. He didn't mean to not to address Tanden at all, but at least he answered her question.

Well you're right perfection doesn't make mistakes, but I never said I was perfect, far from.......I'm just damn great is all.......and if me coming in here and not ordering is what bothered you, I did come in here for a nice 9 piece McNugget meal, but the first thing I saw walking in here was......her.
***She pointed in Tanden's direction***
So I lost my appetite, maybe I'll gain it back later in the day.....hopefully.....but after hearing you babble on and on, maybe it's best if I just went home. This place is more disgusting than usual today......
Oh and by the way, that "talk" about luck wasn't a talk Scott, it was a statement, a clear as motherfucking day, statement......and I'll just throw in that the company you just signed too, the male division is insane, and you're like a lamb being brought to slaughter.

Rolling her eyes, Tanden had had just about enough of Kim's crap. She sets her burger down, locks in, and takes aim at her.
Ok, look. I've never had a problem with you. In fact, I was probably one of the few, and I do mean FEW people in XWA that had some kind of respect for you. I've done my homework. I know what kind of competitor you were. And I know how it is to hit a slump. I'm not exactly the most dominant competitor in my own right. But you know what? Respect has to be earned. And it can just as easily be lost. And you've now just officially lost mines. All you've done the last four months is cry foul, bitch and moan about how you're not getting your due. Here's a newsflash for ya', granny. Try WINNING some before you decide you wanna be Ms. High & Mighty super cunt. I can see why you can't keep a title, much less a man. Who the hell could stand being with such a moody, incessant bitch?
I don't need any witty comebacks. You make yourself look like a fool so well, no one needs to say a word to you. All they need to do is stand back and watch you put your foot so far in your mouth that you could walk sitting down. If you don't "need" the hardware I have, let me ask you something? Why bother provoking me? Why not just moozy on along, get some grub & keep it movin'? I'll tell you why. Because you're a walking contradiction. You don't "need" my attention, or the title I won fair and square, but the 1st thing you thought to do was butt in and make a grade school threat to spit in my food. Who the hell does that? What? You think that's tough? You think that makes you bad ass? From where I'm sitting, and I think all of the people around us can agree, all it does is make you look like an idiot. Which, let's be fair...you obviously never had to work hard at doing now, have you?
Other patrons surrounding them all begin to chuckle and point as Tanden basically read Kim the riot act. She shakes her head, picks her burger back up, and takes a bite. After savoring the Angus and Bacony goodness, she returns another barb to Scott.
By the way, if you weren't paying attention to the wind-bag here, I'm Tanden. Pleasure meeting you.

All Manor could think for a moment was damn. It wasn't often he heard anyone go off on someone like that.He couldn't help himself as he let out a chuckle.
Lamb in a slaughterhouse huh? Oh that's right to a lot of people wrestling is their life. Sorry I totally forgot about that. Like I always say. Life is more than just wrestling and in life, what happens in the ring only counts for so much. I mean I could easily tee off on probably anyone on the roster, but why do it now? I wouldn't be getting paid for it.
Manor eats another fry even though he should probably finish the burger he started eating as he looks at Tanden.
Nice to meet you. Actually didn't think I'd meet anyone here from XWA. Figured just about every XWA person ate big and fancy. You know five star restaurants that take the average man months to get a reservation at.

***She looked at the people around her***
Stop gawking you idiots......
***She returned her attention to Tanden and Scott.***
You know Tanden, what you just said is a typical response that I'd expect to get from any of you prissy little goody goody female wrestlers in XWA, you know the ones that despite their wins or losses you always love. It's you and others that I'm sure you know who they are, that absolutely fucking disgust me.......
You say that I need attention that it's what I crave, that I'm a walking condradiction, you say you had respect for me and I lost it......but.......
When did I ever see that respect put forth ??
***She looks at the little girl in front of her***
I'm not over the hill little girl, not by a long shot, you think because I'm a few years older than you and A THOUSAND YEARS more experienced than you.......and for that, I should see the greatest respect, you should be on your hands and fucking knees kissing my boots right now.
I whine and bitch huh, I can't back up what I say with my win-loss record huh, grade school threats huh ??
Here's a real shocker for ya, I don't damn well need to back up what I say because over my life I am one of the greatest females.....PERIOD.....I don't bitch, I state what's on my mind no different from any other woman here....do you see people getting up in Helena or Bianca's faces when they voice their mind.......NO........and they should do the same for me. As for grade school threats......I don't wanna hurt you in a McDonalds or in the McDonalds parking lot, but I swear to god, you and me one on one when that season starts. And it is over......I have business with you and miss uppity Marisol.
Remember everything I've said Tanden..........
***Just before leaving Kim looks at Scott***
And Scott if you think you're not a lamb being brought to slaughter, I wanna see you in your first match call out Bryan Jasta.......if you do, and even fair well in that match, you may gain my respect, slightly. If not, well sniff sniff I smell a coward.
***With that she takes off out the door.***

After another bite of her burger, Tanden replies to Scott's statement, after Kim departs.
Bye Granny. Don't forget to take your Fiber!!! *giggle* The nerve of some chicks....SHEESH. Anywayz, I grew up in a household run by a Lawyer and an Architect. So you can imagine the terror in their eyes the day I walked into the living room and said "HEY MOM & DAD, I'M A PRO WRESTLER!!!". Mom passed out for 20 minutes. *giggle* That was awesome. But over time they came to terms that following in their footsteps wasn't my thing. I'm probably one of the most low maintenance chicks the whole roster. But this is the off season, and when I'm not on the job, I'm just a regular gal livin' in the city. I was actually at HQ filling out some paper work and taken promo photos. You know, bein' champ and all. I haven't even really acknowledged that I am. Most people keep the belt with them at all times. I bet Robby Sylk probably slept with the World Title when he had it. *giggle* Not me.
She follows with a giggle and a sip of her soda.

Always a fun thing to do to rebel against parents. I mean my parents were extremely religious. So I wasn't exactly a good boy.
Manor lets out a chuckle.
Honestly though. I don't really get the big deal about titles or awards. To me a hard fought match is worth more than a title.
Manor eats another fry before continuing.
I take it wrestling was always a desire of yours then? Not something you just randomly decided to do?

Tanden sets down her soda to respond.
Actually, it kinda was random. I was dating a guy my Sophomore year in college who wrestled as a way to help earn extra cash. He talked me into joining him and being his valet, and I fell in love with it all soon after. After a few months of being on the sidelines, I wanted to get in on the action myself, so I started training. Of course he didn't want me getting in the ring, and it ended up being a major part of why I broke up with him, but it's infectious this wrestling thing. Once it gets in your system, you can't get it out. Don't tell any of the bosses, but I'd do this for free. I did actually before I landed my 1st major contract. Well, not free. But wrestling three shows in two days for $300 may as well be like doing it for free. But the money and fame was never what drew me in. I've always like competition. Yea, yea, sounds lame, especially seeing as Ballet was actually the 1st athletic thing I did in my life, but hey...being light on my toes has translated well to what I can do in the ring.
Tanden catches herself.
Oops...I'm babbling. Sorry. It's just that I get so excited talking about wrestling. Not fanatical like what's her name to the point where it's all my life depends on, but hell, I'm as much of a fan of it as I was when I 1st got into it. It's like crack...it's so addicting. *giggles*

It's no problem. Honestly, as much fun as I may have in the ring, I only do this for the travel. Plus I'm not gonna deny the money is another incentive. Can't say wrestling has ever been something I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing.

Thisis true. I mean, I don't at all knock the people that can do this into their late 30s and early 40s. But how I am in the ring? I doubt I'll make it past 32 and still be wrestling, which is still a ways off, but still. I never really put much thought into what I'd do after wrestling. I'm just your "live in the moment" kinda' girl. No use dwelling on what could happen, or what's happened already. If you focus on the here and now, you'll be much happier. That's my stance anyway. Some people just enjoy being dreary & miserable all the time.
She pauses to take another bite of her burger.
This burger is especially delicious today. Don't have a clue why...

Manor lets out a chuckle for some reason.
Maybe granny was right and you're just lucky. Not that luck never hurts. I mean if Jasta is coming back for the season know I'm gonna need it.
Manor takes a sip of his water as he pulls out a pencil from his pocket and pulls a napkin closer to him. He begins to tap the eraser end against his head.
I gotta be honest. I hear the "I just live in the moment" line a lot. Not too many people are really like that. In fact, most of them I've met get all freaked out over the smallest things. Go figure.
Manor lets out a chuckle as he continues to tap the eraser against his head as his burger is probably cold by now.
