*We open to Firefly Toys and Games in Columbia, South Carolina. As the camera pans through the building we can see there is a section where people can play Table Top Games and Board Games, another where people can play Card Games, and another where people can play video games. Here is where we find Maniac, Mandy, and Greg who are all playing different games on different systems. They are close enough to each other where they could all three talk without yelling and after a few minutes of silence while gaming Maniac breaks the silence.*
Maniac: You ok Mandy bear?
*He uses his peripheral vision to look over at her while keeping an eye in his game. Not looking away from her game either she answers.*
Mandy: Not going to lie, I'm a little nervous but mostly determined. I want to do this.
*Maniac nods his head.*
Maniac: Well you know we're all here to support you no matter what.
Greg: Definitely.
Mandy: Thanks guys.
*She smiles and the rest of the time they played it was in silence, all the while none of them notices that Santino watches them from a distance.*

On camera
*The scene opens to Maniac and Mandy at Thirsty Fellow Pizzeria and Pub, the two are sitting together in a booth seat eating food. Maniac is having a Mushroom & Provolone Burger while Mandy is eating a Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich and are both enjoying their meal. After a moment Roderick Sterling walks up to the table with a microphone in hand and begins.*
Roderick: Roderick Sterling here at Thirsty Fellow Pizzeria and Pub in Columbia, South Carolina where Maniac and Mandy are relaxing and enjoying some food from a local restaurant as Maniac prepares for his match against Sarah Callahan at Havoc. Before we begin Mandy I believe you have an announcement?
*Mandy puts down her sandwich, wipes her mouth off with her napkin, and smiles.*
Mandy: Yes Roderick, I know that I am just an interviewer and I work on the YouTube page but I am putting that all on hold. Sarah Callahan, you dare make a mockery out of the pain and suffering that both Maniac and I have been going through like it's nothing? I'm going to show you suffering like you never felt before, I challenge you to a match at Blood, Sweat, and Tears. You and me one on one bitch, you got the guts or are you all talk?
*Mandy goes back to eating and all the while Maniac is smiling.*
Maniac: Strike a nerve Sarah? Is that what you thought you were doing?
*Maniac chuckles and takes another bite from his burger before continuing.*
Maniac: Seems to me that all you're doing is making more enemies, Mandy knows who I am and she and I are in love. You know you seen jealous Sarah, everyone is finding love EXCEPT you. Don't worry though, I'm sure there's a male equivalent version of you out there somewhere...
*Maniac shutters at the thought, taking a drink of his beer then continues.*
Maniac: Anyway, since you had trouble understanding what I said I'll break it down for ya guuurrlll.
*Maniac does an impression of Sarah getting a giggle out of Mandy.*
Maniac: I was complimenting you and your skills when I said we were going to burn down the house with our match, and then the other part was me telling you basically that the real Maniac is what you're going to get in the ring and is going to be the one having his hand raised in victory. I'm really looking forward to this match Sarah, it's not only a chance to show you what I'm really all about in the ring but it'll be another win and another step towards Ringmaster. As far as Erica goes, I'm her Maestro not her boss. Look, I get it she's a bit intense but that's because she's so passionate about what she does. Does she go to the extreme sometimes? Yes, because she feels that she has been pushed to that option. I cant tell her what to do, she's an adult and it seems that she has a problem with you which seems to be a "you" problem.
*Maniac chuckles and takes another drink of his beer then continues.*
Maniac: You really think you're going to shake me with your petty attempts at mind games you better think again little girl, the best of the best have tried and failed. I can't and will not be rattled, can you say the same Sarah? Something tells me that you can't and at Havoc I'll prove it.
*Maniac goes back to his meal with Mandy as the scene fades to black.*
