I'm still pretty much in shock, you know. Like, I still can't believe I have a chance to become the NCW starlet's champion this Sunday. To me, that's crazy. I mean, all I did was beat Shelly and Emma a couple of weeks ago, and now, I can...I become the champion. Dios mio! I would like to think that it's because of my new attitude towards NCW. But for me, this is still really crazy. I mean, I have spot in a fatal-four way against Mercedes Vargas, Megan Sanderson, and My best friend Jenny Williams! How exciting is that?! They called my name to be in the match to decide who the next champion is after what happened with Freya. It's a shame, Freya was a cool chick. She told boring-as-**** stories about her and Dexter all the time, but she was still cool. But, she's gone now, and her loss can be my gain.
I guess this is what it feels like you finally have things straightened out in like. This was my do-over, you know? I needed it. In a perfect world, I would have had an opportunity before to win the Starlet's title. It's been about a year, and I have had chances and never came through on them. Hell, I lost my first like 4 matches before I got it right. But that's okay, I've learned from it. It took a long ass time, but I'm learning from it finally. But the reason it took so long was there was a lot of my life that was messed up. But that's over.
I got my mind right, my body right, my spirit right, More importantly, I got my LIFE right. Hell, I'm even starting to like hanging out with Crystal. And I thought that was loco! This has been so great for me. I no longer have to look over my shoulder to see if anyone's coming for me. No hiding from people, no running, no sleeping with one eye open, or a pistol under my pillow. That **** is over. And it feels so good. A weight is really off my shoulders. And now it's time to concentrate on the ring. It's time to become a champion. I never thought I'd get a chance to say that, because it doesn't get any bigger than winning the NCW Starlet's title. Maybe that's why it's taken me this long to get my shot, because everybody wants it.
I know Mercedes and Megan both want the title. Mercedes has had a shot or two at it, but always came up short. But then again, it is Mercedes Vargas we're talking about here. I mean, what does Mercedes bring to the table? She's a spoiled rich girl? Is she just a white girl dying to come out of a Latina? My girl Jenny took her down a few months ago. She runs around accusing people of being fake and all that, but really, she's the fake. She parades around like she's special, do you see anything special about Mercedes? I didn't think so. A person who has talked a big game for so long and has nothing to show for it. Involving herself in other people's affairs because she isn't interesting enough for anyone to give a rats culo about for more than 5 minutes.
Megan's a bit different. I think that perhaps she was on her way to becoming the Starlet's champion maybe if Freya didn't leave. Megan has gotten the better of me a couple of times in the past, but that was when I was putting on a show. I tried to tell myself that I was ready, when I knew damn well I wasn't. And then she beat me. I tried really hard to tell myself that I could defeat her, knowing my mind and judgement were still clouded. I had no business thinking that, and Megan saw through my brave face. Estúpido. Now, I have to make up for it. Make up for screwing around when I should have been taking this serious. Megan may have been somewhat robbed of the Starlet's title back in January, but that doesn't make her entitled to it now. And it may just take someone like me to show her that.
And then there's Jenny. My little sister Jenny. You know what it's like, don't you Jenny? What it's like to carry that gold of the Starlet's title. It felt good, didn't it? I was so proud of you. You really did it, you know. Now, I have a chance to do what you did. It's a close as being co-champions, you know? We could end up being that way. I know that you really stepped up your game in order to win that title. But Jenny, you know as well as I do, that you have never been able to beat me. Whenever, whatever we play, I've been able to beat you. Singing, dancing, cards, board games, I've been able to beat you. And now, in wrestling, I've beaten you. But this time, it's different, there's a title on the line, Jenny. A title you lost to Freya Kane. I've been worried that maybe you fell into the same thing I did. Where you stopped caring. You've been the Starlet's champion Jenny. It's my time to be the champion. Then, I'll give you a shot. I'm ready for this Jenny. More ready for anything than I've been in my entire life.
I need this Jenny.
I want this Megan.
I'm taking this Mercedes.
I'm going to become the champion I know I can be. No more running, no more hiding, no more excuses. No more slacking. It's time to erase all those past problems, and be who I am, and take what I know I can.

Jazz stands in her apartment, doing her yoga for the day, when there's a knock at her door.
Jazz:
Who is it?
Nina
Es Nina!
Jazz smiles and opens the door and the two friends embrace.
Jazz:
Nina, how did you find me?
Nina
I ask about you. They tell me where you were.
Jazz:
What...what are you doing out here?
Nina
I come to visit my friend, why? you no want me here?
Jazz:
No,no, I want you here, but...No puedo creer que estás aquí
Nina
Me perdí mucho. Yo estaba preocupado por usted.
Jazz:
You don't need to worry Nina, I'm okay.
Nina
I see that now.
Jazz:
Well, come in, and let's talk, okay?
Nina
Si.
Nina enters and the scene fades
I can't believe that Nina came all the way out here just to visit me. Although, I did dump a lot in her lap when I left. I was a real bitch to her, and she took it in stride because of our friendship. That's why I love Nina. So understanding.
| Jazz's apartment, continued, later in the day |
Jazz:
I'm so happy you came Nina.
Nina
Did you miss me that much me amor?
Jazz:
I did, and because I need to tell you something.
Nina
hmm?
Jazz:
Lo siento Nina. Lo siento por dejaros, salir de Nueva York, y no se lo diga. Lo siento por lo que deja con algunas muchas preguntas, y todo eso. Pero esto ya es historia. Todo cuidado.
Nina
No es nada
Jazz:
Thank you, Nina.
Nina
Oh, I got this letter from Flash.
Jazz:
From....Flash...
Nina
Si. He misses you also.
Jazz:
Thank you so much, Nina.
Nina
I read...you are a nasty girl.
Jazz:
cierra la boca!
Fade on the girls laughing and joking.
It was so great to hear from Flash too. Nina left for the night back to the airport, and I danced around the room all alone. I knew that Flash still had faith, so therefore I had faith. Faith that we would finally get back together. We would finally see each other and I would learn the truth.
And what a better way, then to be the NCW Starlet's champion when I finally see him again?!
It's going to be a great time. There's so much to be happy and excited about. So much to be ready for. So much to look forward to. I know I can do it. All I needed was the chance.Ahora, voy a hacer Todd, a mi familia y mis amigos orgulloso y convertirse en el NCW Starlet de campeón!

Jazz opens her apartment door to find something she wishes she'd have never seen again. A single rose outside her door.
She knew what it meant.
Pete was in town, and he knew where she lived.
