The new San Jose Arena...what the hell was wrong with the old one? Rayne thinks to herself as she cranes her neck to look up at the arena. Like usual the arena was a short walk from her hotel . It had become a habit for her to stay close to where the venues where at to get a feel for the arena and the crowds they would be catering to..

California could very well be the entertainment capitol of the world. Movie studios, movie stars and the rich and famous every where . There where traces of the old and new everywhere you looked , and you needn't be in Hollywood to feel it . California had that kind of atmosphere . And even being in a “entertainment:” field herself , Rayne hated the feel and the commercialization of the state.
Get up get out
Get inside the outside
Get up get out get in
But she was tired of waiting around in her hotel room for Wicked to crawl out of his shell again and say anything , anything at all about their upcoming match. She practically exhausted herself in the hotel gym and truth be told , she was getting a touch of cabin fever. Even the hotels large room and the wonderful Jacuzzi with statically placed water jets in her room couldn’t keep her satisfied and holed up forever. She she had hit the pavement and do what any single girl in a strange city would do.......She went sight seeing.

Spelling out your name
Where everybody's different
But they're all the same
Yeah go to California (go to California)
Go to California (go to California)
You are perfect you are insane.
Insane is what she felt like after being to the Happy Hollow Park and Zoo , Raging Waters,...least she didn’t wear a white t-shirt, and then she nearly beat the pants off Howdy at the Cue Topia Billiard Cafe.
But it was the Winchester Mystery House that had her wishing she was out of the state . It also made her think of Blackout , with all its twist and turns and touches of madness. He’d called her earlier in the week and suggested a match next week for himself and she just might take him up on his suggestion .
We love to watch you break from the pain
Yeah go to California (go to California)

When her walk about tour ended , she found herself in front of the arena with a anticipated adrenaline rush flooding over her. It felt good knowing that she would be in the ring soon , to feel that rush of power take over and the sport and game become one with you and nothing exists outside of that ring. All that matters is you and your challenger and what’s on the line. Tomorrow night winning would be the goal. It didn’t help that Wicked was as quiet as a fucking dead church mouse. It usually helped to know your opponents mind set , wither you thought they had a mind or not.
She pushed the doors open and entered the air conditioned lobby of the arena . Hoisting her purse up higher she made her way to the offices to get her access pass. From there she walked through to the floor level of the arena and watched the ring being set up.
Hit the lights and
Strip down on the floor
Everybody hates you
But they want some more
Yeah go to California (go to California)
Go to California (go to California)
Sitting on the concrete steps , her mind continued to wander.
Thinking about the mindless , it seems that Edward still has some issues . Then again , when didn’t he ? One minute he’s a MILF lover and the next he’s a bonafide man meat boner beacon. Seems the faltering egotist
thinks she would be taking some credit for his upcoming retirement . Far from it, but she would be at the celebration party that Steve Sinclair is hosting ..too bad Edward isn’t invited
He still sounded bitter and jaded over her decision to return to the game . Only this time there were perks to the game, and instead of celebrating with her , he put her down and accused her of selling out and abandoning him . When in fact he had pushed her aside long ago.
The comment about the iron maiden made her chuckle though . Least a iron maiden had bigger pricks than he did and she could at least feel them .But what would he ever know about her now, what did he ever bother to learn about her before?. All he had done was set in his sights on his goals and expected her to follow . But all that was water under the bridge and he could be happy where ever the hell he wanted to be chasing balls and scratching his nuts.
He now his life to live and she had hers , and it seemed that both would be playing the fields. But for the time being she wanted to be free and to follow her own dream . Being Co- Commish was just one of her goals, the other would be becoming the ESW’s first grand slam champion , and the only way to do that was to return to being the Rayne she used to be . Only this time she was less naive and more determined . She would have to shake the ring rust off from the few months she wasn’t in the ring.
She would have to reassert herself as one of the top dogs and not just cause she was Co- Commish. No this time it was all about the respect that comes from having talent and from the confidence and assurance one has from being theirslef and being the best .
That is exactly the mentality she was going to bring into the ring when she faces Wicked. That is if he’s man enough to even show up. Seems everyone was either pussy whipped or turning into pussies these days., and Steve had better not blame her for that . After all Doc technically was the one in charge , leth im whip them back into shape.
The sound of her stomach growling drew Rayne out of her musings and glancing at her watch she realized it was well into the afternoon and she hadn’t eaten in awhile. Time flies when one thinks too hard. So gathering up her stuff and finding out where her dressing room was , so she knew where it was tomorrow, Rayne heading out in search of this Pacific Rim cuisine she had heard so much about.
Yeah go to California (go to California)
