The sun was high in the crystal blue sky when the scene opened up on a private home in Miami, Florida. It was a pretty calm street, a few cars passed by the home as a large Samoan man loaded a black SUV that was parked in the driveway of the home. Upon closing the trunk and turning around, we can see that it is indeed Leifi Maivia, part of the famed wrestling family. He would be accompanying his girlfriend Zora Graysen to her first official GZWA match. He knew that she would be a huge bundle of nerves and he was going to be there to support her and help her in anyway that he could.
Leifi locked up the car and went to get Zora because it was time to get on the road and drive the 4 hours from their home to Jacksonville. Figuring she’d be grabbing some road snacks and drinks, he headed directly for the kitchen. But when he arrived, he didn’t find her there and instead could see her on the back patio just staring ahead at the fence that divided their yard from their neighbor’s.

"Zo, what are you doing out here? I thought you were going to meet me out at the car."
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"They’re all right here. I just had to clear my mind a little bit."
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"Is your match with Morgane still bothering you?”
Zora nodded her head, causing Leifi to take a seat on the bench next to her and wrapping a heavily tattooed arm around her slender shoulders. Zora’s eyes remain locked on the fence, her breathing heavy as she tried to just not think about what happened in her GZWA debut.

"I always thought that Morgane and I were on good terms. She was always nice to me but it seems that the moment that match was booked… things changed and she has been avoiding me. I even got her a Christmas gift but I’ve been holding onto it because I’m too afraid to give it to her because I don’t want her to blow up in my face."
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"Oh I don’t think you have to worry about that. Metu and I had suspicions that she was going to try and psych you out. She wanted to show you that even though she had a hand in training to get you to that point… that she hadn’t lost her touch. That was her first match in a very long time and she had a bit of ring rust. Someday you guys will step into the ring again and at that time… you will be the one who manages to take her down and be the winner."
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Are you sure? Because besides you… this is all I’ve ever wanted recently. I want to prove to the world that yeah, I’m dating a Maivia and have had some of the best training in the world… but I don’t want the wrestling world to look at me like ‘ugh… another Maivia’."
Leifi pulled her in close and kissed the top of her head.

"Why don’t we continue this in the car? We have to get on the road so we get to Jacksonville before dark."
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Are you sure you don’t want me to help with the driving? It’s not like it’s a short drive babe."
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"Nah, I got this. The only thing you need to worry about is getting into the right frame of mind for your match this week against Missy Sippy."
Zora nodded her head and took the outstretched hand of her man as he helped her up to her feet. They headed out to the car through the house, making sure to lock all the doors along the way even though Leifi’s cousin Leilani Maivia-Kawena would be arriving a little while later to house sit until they got back. They were about 30 minutes into their trip when Zora put her head to the side, cushioned by her sweatshirt, and fell asleep.

"Zora! Zora! How is your match this week against Missy Sippy going to differ from your exhibition match at Reina de Reinas against Morgane Renaud?”
Zora rolled her eyes, inhaling deeply before exhaling sharply.
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Well that match was nothing but a fluke. Morgane just wanted to relive her glory days where she had a small title reign as a tag team champion. She was able to work some sort of mind game and it worked for her… to an extent. You guys also have to remember that it was my first ever match and I was going against one of the people who had a hand in training me. So already the odds were stacked against me… I just wasn’t able to overcome them."

"Your opponent this week is a self-proclaimed wild child from the south. How would you describe yourself?”
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"I would say that I am a fighter. And while she might think that her southern hickness is going to be playing a factor… she’ll learn right quick that I have a lot more fight in me than she thinks she does in her. I have something to prove by coming out here to a putting my body on the line. I come from a school that is known for churning out champions and future hall of famers alike. But I want to prove that I can do it all on my own and that I don’t need the help of the Maivias. We both lost our respective matches at Reina de Reinas and so we both want to prove that our loses aren’t going to be a repetitive thing. But sadly for her… that is what the case is going to be. I want to win this match so badly that I will do just about whatever it takes to get my hand raised at the end."

"So you’re saying that you’re just going to forget about what happened against Morgane?”
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Exactly… that was just an exhibition match on a pay per view that was meant to showcase all that I had learned. Well there are a few things that I didn’t get to show then. Primetime… is just that… it’s the primetime legit debut of Zora Graysen and not some special showcase. People are going to see what I am really like when I step between those ropes. Missy Sippy is going to be getting the brunt force of everything that I have. I will fight and scrap to make sure that she doesn’t walk out as the winner."
» REPORTER | TWO «
"Have you shaken off the nerves that you showed? Is this match going to be your redemption?”
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"I’m pretty sure I have already established that things are going to be very different than the other one. Yeah sure I’m new to all of this, but I’m also the older one to that bagwoods hillbilly. Things aren’t going to be like they were last time. I plan on sending her back to the land of moonshine and inbreeding with her tail tucked between her legs and her head hung low in shame. I’m going to be the queen that I was always meant to be. I will make Missy my little bitch. She is used to getting tossed around isn’t she?”
» REPORTER | ONE «
"Besides your drive and determination, what do you have that Missy Sippy doesn’t?”
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"You mean besides the fact that I have a high school education and bachelor’s degree? Or that I didn’t have to be an idiot and get my name from a state? Or is it the fact that I can speak in coherent sentences and not sound like a bloody fool? Well if you really want to know, I have speed and agility playing on my side. She might think that those stupid redneck games she plays and mud wrestling she does at get togethers is enough to have a strength and toughness advantage over me… but she fails to realize that I’ve had to fight for everything that I have. I was the only female in my wrestling class because I wanted to be tested. I had to prove to the boys that I could hang if no surpass them… which is what I did. I was the best student in my class and even got one on one training for the great Loluki Maivia himself. Sure… things were basically handed to me training wise but it is what I wanted. Even in college I took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a way to defend myself while living off campus and I excelled even though that. Missy isn’t going to know what hit her when we lock up at Primetime. She’s going to think she has this one in the bag. And also, Missy needs to head to Sephora for a makeover if she thinks that she is better looking than I am. She only thinks she’s pretty cause her brother-cousin told her that."
Zora couldn’t help but chuckle (both in the dream and out) as she tucked a piece of her onyx colored hair behind her ear. The reporters once against started to fight for her attention.

"ZORA!”
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"Zora!”
Zora instantly snapped up and out of her dream. She looked a bit out of it as she turned to look at Leifi.
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"What was so funny?”
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Oh uh nothing. I just had a dream is all. And everything I have to do against Missy Sippy… came to me."
She smiled as she put her hoodie back into her lap.
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"Where are we?”
» LEIFI | MAIVIA «
"Around Orlando. Did you want to stop to go to the bathroom or anything? I was going to top off the gas tank."
» ZORA | GRAYSEN «
"If you want to."
Leifi nodded his head as he pulled into the right lane and waiting for the next rest stop or gas station to come across their path. The scene then proceeded to fade out as they kept driving.
