I walked into the Staples Center and took a look around. There were only a few cars in the parking lot and no fans had shown up yet.
" Thora, you're here early. I saw you pull in so I though I'd meet you." Stephanie McMahon said walking up to me.
" Yeah. Home got boring so I flew out a day early." I said.
" I know how that is. Well, you're never going to guess who is here too." She said.
" Terry's here already!" I said, surprised. She nodded.
" He seems a little nervous. Plus, he's got a woman with him. I'm just warning you now." She said as we walked down the hall together.
" Thanks." I said, running a hand through my brown hair. She stopped at a door and looked at me.
" They're in there. If I hear anything I'll come in." she said. I smiled and looked at the door.
" Thanks..I think." I said. I put my hand on the doorknob and turned it. I slowly opened the door and saw Terry sitting on the couch with a blonde woman.
" Thora." He said, standing up. I walked in and sat my bags down.
" Hi Terry." I said. I was surprised at how calm my voice was.
" Um, Thora, this is my fiancee, Annie." He said looking at the woman. " Hun, this is Thora."
" Hi. I've never met anyone named Thora before. What does it mean?" She asked. I could tell already that she wasn't the brightest star in the sky if you know what I mean.
" It means thunder. I was born during a storm." I said dryly.
" Oh that's really cool." She said, actually twirling a piece of her long blonde hair in her finger.
" Baby, why don't you go see if Adam and Jay are here yet." Terry said, obviously seeing my hostility towards her.
" Oh, okay. I love you Terrbear." She said, giggling, giving him a kiss on the cheek. God get me a bucket, I think I'm about to throw up.
" I love you too baby." He said as she walked out the door. I looked at him after she had shut the door.
" So how long did it take before you started fucking around on her?" I said coldly.
" Thora, we can't start off like this."
" Oh we can't. Well I'm not the one who brought their little nymphet with them." I said, sitting down on the couch.
" I couldn't help it. She said she wanted to come along. But anyway, Annie isn't our concern."
" She better not be." I said.
" Vince has already talked to me about some of tonight's schedule. You and Jazz have a match about halfway through the first hour. I'm going to come out and help you beat her."
" Not that I need your help anyway." I said.
" Damn it Thora. Why the fuck are you being so damn stubborn?" he yelled. I stood up and looked him right in the eye.
" Maybe because I didn't want to do this in the first fucking place. Paul thought it was a good idea and he asked me to do it. Not for me or you or him, but for the fans. These WWF fans haven't even had a taste of what Hardcore really is in recent history, and Vince needs us to show them how bad we can be. That's why I agreed to this 'arrangement', and Paul said if at any time I want out I can just say the word and I'll be the one wiping the shit out of my ass with your bloody carcass." I said, remembering a promo that Terry did once, back in the day. Terry looked at me as I grabbed my things and headed out the door. I turned around once more and looked back at him. " I'll see you by the curtain when we go on. Not any sooner than that." I finished. I stormed down the hall and past Steph and Vince.
" Thora...how did it.." Steph began to yell after me. I turned around and looked at her.
" Give me a half an hour and then I'll tell you." I said. I dumped my workout bag in the women's dressing room and I headed up to the very top of the arena with my laptop.
" Thora, you're here early. I saw you pull in so I though I'd meet you." Stephanie McMahon said walking up to me.
