My dear Frodo, you asked me once if I had told you everything there was to know about my adventures. And while I can honestly say I have told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it. I am old now Frodo. I'm not the same hobbit I once was. I think it is time for you to know what really happened. - Old Bilbo [The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]
Somewhere in the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, on a beach, lies the one and only Autumn Raven. She's bathing in the sunlight on a towel that looks like it came straight out of the tie-dye era, its swirling colors a stark contrast to the beauty and peacefulness that was this beach. Her eyes are shut against the glare of the sun as she lays quite still on her back, simply trying to relax. Somewhere off to the side, sits a silver boombox that's tuned to the local heavy metal station that's popular in Los Angeles. People that pass her and her companion by give them a look before moving on. In the background you can hear the sounds of kids screaming and yelling, splashing around in the ocean water, along with the sounds of parents yelling after them. It seemed that this was the place to be if you weren't in school or didn't have work, and it wasn't too crowded which was also nice.
A sigh escaped Autumn's lips as she shifted on the towel, flexing her toes a bit.
"What's wrong?"
"Just thinking way too much is all."
"About what?"
"I can't believe I lost to that nut job Kat. How the hell did that happen? Did the universe cosmically turn on it's side or something?"
"Uhh no, not since I last checked. So you lost, big deal. It's just one person who slipped through your fingers."
"Yeah, one person I should have had no problem dealing with. It just bugs me is all."
"Well don't let it bug you. It'll eat away at you until it drives you crazy. Just relax and enjoy yourself in the here and now, that's what we came here for."
"I guess." She muttered, digging her hand into the sand besides her before pulling it out and shaking it off. The song on the radio switched again to something she had heard by Kamelot a while ago, and she had to smile at that.
"How's the folks doing?"
"Good, good. Their making the final plans to move to Chicago, plus trying to sell the house they're in...so they've been busy."
"Awesome. What about the rest of the gang?"
"Before I leave to Kansas City, we're having a big party out here on this beach. You're welcome to come if you want."
"Sounds like a plan stan. I'm in."
Autumn chuckled, stretching out her arms a little, a smile gracing her face.
"Just try not to be so loud that the cops get called, okay?"
"Don't worry. We'll be good...to a point. Might be a bunch of drunk people by the end of the night."
The two chuckled as the scene faded out.

"I am who I am and there's nothing you can do to change me. Born in the hustle and bustle in Los Angeles, I grew up a normal child, went to school, to college, did the normal life...until I was bitten by the wrestling bug and decided to follow my heart's calling. I trained down in the Carolinas by the one and only Shannon Moore, and learned everything I needed to know about the business and how to fly and function in the ring like every other well oiled wrestler out there. I did the indy circuit for a long while before being picked up by the UWL, then I went back out and did the indy circuit some more before MSW decided to snatch me up. I'm happy where I am, new faces, new chances to cause my own brand of chaos. I learned way long ago that playing the good girl, the super 'hero' for the people wasn't the way to go. It didn't get me anywhere, no luck, no nothing. So I turned the other cheek essentially and went to the dark side so to speak. And I don't regret this change whatsoever. Being able to be...the true me...is refreshing. I feel free to do as I please and hurt people. It's incredible.
You don't like who I am, then get the hell out before you get knocked out. That's real talk."
