Thoughts:
"It's quite a bit warm and sunnier than ever in Canada today. Perhaps it wasn't that fine of an idea to wear a black sweater, because it's doing exactly what it says on the tin: making silly little me sweat! Other than that, I've spent several weeks getting ready for this match, and only now do I get the notion to purchase something to drink that isn't flavored water: sweet, lovely Pepsi. This match is most likely the biggest one in my life, in that if I lose, I'm on my own, no more "being Ms. J's protege." On the other hand, if I win, I kill a relationship. Even in one's success, there will be an adjacent failure. Don't you just absolutely hate it when negative karma happens?"
"Anyway, my pay-per-view history serves me better than my TV history: one win and one loss in pay-per-view matches. I'm not one to really brag about my currently mediocre run in this company, but now that I think about it, just about everyone I have lost to is a current or former champion. Ziu Zhong, World Visionary Champion, was Zero Gravity Champion when Steve Herring and I faced him. Patrick Jones, Zero Gravity Champion for two weeks. Ryder Blade, current Xcel Champion. Do you catch my drift?"
"If not, my drift is that I'm the kid that can hang. Tayla sees me and sees the kid that can't hang. Believe me, I can hang. I hanged with the World Champion, I can beat Tayla. I ca--"
Passer-by:
"Miss?"
My zoning out and inner monologue had broken, so I kind of jumped... oops.
Passer-by:
"Are you OK?"
Katie:
"Oh, yes sir. I was just thinking about how I would win my upcoming match."
Passer-by:
"Ah, OK, my friend just wanted me to che-ehhh wait, match?"
Katie:
"Y--yes? Why d'ya ask?"
Passer-by:
"I was never here. Turn off your phone."
The passer-by scampered away, leaving me befuddled.
Katie:
"Turn off my pho--OH!"
My phone showed me a primative fish with an X where his eye would be, and in the fish, the letters "s-t-u" appeared in a slow left-to-right swipe... the--

YOU ARE WELCOME
NNNN-EOM
[Setting: A dark hotel room with two people, our Orphan hacker and our petite rookie, who is tied up in a wooden chair. If there's one good thing about this for Katie, it's that her posture is going to improve.]
Stu:
"You think you're going to just waltz and jog your way to a championship match? You think you're going to end what poor Tayla and Stacy have going? You must be incredibly more stupid than I ever gave you credit for, Montes."
Katie:
"For the sixth time, I am not stupid. I'll admit, I'm confused as to why I'm cheered. What I'm doing is wrong, but like I've said, I can't help my feelings."
Stu:
"Feelings, cheering, jeering, why does any of this matter to you? What is your purpose?"
Katie:
"My purpose is to win hearts. Win matches. Win."
Stu:
"That's not your purpose, that's your goal. All the time. The reasons I've tied you up are as follows:"
Fish Stew holds up one finger.
"To, how do the kids put it? Get under your skin."
Two fingers.
"To watch a replay of your boring promo that I just had to hack. How's that phone, by the by?"
Three fingers.
"Finally, to make sure you don't get to Heatstroke. I will not allow that relationship to die, Tayla and Stacy both will be more miserable as a result of you losing, and as far as Ryan Omega knows, it's because of you not being there."
Katie:
"But what about you? Who would watch me if your plan does work? Aren't you going to turn the lights on and off?"
Stu:
"I don't have to, but that does give me the idea. I stand corrected, you aren't a completely pious moron like you present yourself as."
Katie glares at the back of the Glitch in the System's head.
Stu:
"So, are you going to get up and slap me? Those ropes aren't exactly tight."
He was right about the ropes, as Katie was already up and aiming the wooden chair right at Stu's head.
"Go ahead. But, then you really won't be able to get out of here. The locks are combination based, and only I know the code."
Katie:
"What about the windows?"
Stu:
"The windows? They're windows, why do yo--"
WHACK! The chair makes contact and knocks StuFish out, at least for a moment. In a stroke of luck, the chair hasn't broken, so Katie throws it out the normal window, shattering it wide open.
Katie:
"And he says I'm the stupid one. You would think a master hacker would know how to plate windows."
Katie jumps out of the open space of former window, yelling:
"I'M A'COMIN' MISS J!"
To the delight of any teenager on the immediate vicinity.
