We find Sierra Silver laying on her bed, looking up at the glow-in-the-dark moon and star stickers on the ceiling. Her corgi, Hawk, lays his head on her stomach and her cat, Happy, soundly sleeps in her cat tree on the other side of the room. “Oh, Calamity!” by All Time Low plays from the speakers on the table next to her bed. The melancholy atmosphere is interrupted by a knock at the door.
Enter…
The door opens to reveal Sierra’s best friend, Thomas Snow. He’s got a smile on his face but it droops a little when he takes a look at the sight in front of him.
Hey, Si… What’s going on?
Nani?
I mean… You seem… Off.
How?
Well…
Thomas gestures to a large whiteboard in the corner of the room.
Your evil plans board is blank. No mission to steal France using nothing but cupcakes or something. And Happy isn’t trying to rip off a new sweater you made her. It just seems so… not Sierra.
Sierra sighs.
I guess I’m just not feeling it.
Thomas takes a seat on the bed.
What’s up?
Sierra sits up to face her friend. She hugs her knees to her chest as she speaks.
I… I’m just bummed. I miss him.
Who? Richard?
She nods.
I just keep thinking. If I was a little faster in breaking up that pin, we might’ve won and maybe he’d still be here… Maybe he wouldn’t have left me...
Thomas frowns.
Si, you can’t think like that. You didn’t do anything wrong. He just couldn’t handle the fact that he lost.
But he-
He took the pin then walked out. That’s not on you.
I should’ve just told him I knew how to do that dance...
Sierra.
Nani?
Thomas sighs, trying to change his approach.
Who won the Tournament of Mystery?
I did…
Who was the first Multiuniversal champion?
I am.
Who’s the Bruiserweight champion?
I am.
Who’s gonna beat those three yahoos and take that #30 CruiserHavoc entry?
I am!
Who is Sierra HECK’N Silver?!
I am, gosh dangit!
The two friends high five excitedly, Thomas relieved to see Sierra smiling again.
Now you need to beat Bouchet, Nash, and Nidrah so you can earn that final spot and show McCoy that you don’t need a boyfriend to be awesome.
I need to beat Booty, iCarly, and Hydra, you mean.
...Sure.
Right! First of all, I dunno why iCarly needs yet another shot to shine. We’ve all seen how badly she chokes every single time she’s presented with an opportunity. What I said before our match at Turmoil totes came true! Those two yutzes were one-and-done champs yet again! Simply at the right place at the right time, no skill was at play when they won the straps and it showed when they had to defend them. Sure, it’s getting to a point where I’ve had a lot of shots too, but my failures haven’t totally been in my control. So do they really count? I don’t think so!
I’m sure Hydra has heard a lot about getting too many chances. Her new bestest buddy Spider-Webbins has had plenty of her own! On the main roster, dropping down to CDub, all for naught, though! Then Hydra took notice and said, “I gotta get me some of that” and latched onto those coattails! I guess because all the more successful peeps were taken? Cuz nothing gets more eyes on you than pairing with someone who’s been just as unsuccessful as you?
Ironic...
But someone like Booty Tray? He hasn’t had many shots. Much like you and me, he’s been overlooked, passed over time and time again for people who don’t deserve it! Mr. Catapult doesn’t get the attention he deserves. He’s such a good wrestler! It’s such a shame!
Though… Mayhaps there’s a reason for it. I mean, tee-bee-haych, it’s pretty boring if your entire reason for being is based around one move.
Says the woman with a roll-up as a finisher…
SHHHHHHHHHHHHush your face!
Thomas chuckles. Sierra just smiles.
Feel better now?
A little.
Well, winning cures everything. So go out there and win.
Sierra nods, her smile getting wider with confidence...
