World of Wrestling 47
(Hissy Fit)

Moments before Joshua saw,
Jessica in the hallway,
Elissa Kwan had approached,
In a confrontational way.

Elissa: “I lost too, you big baby.
What are you pouting about?
Sometimes you do your best and don’t win.
Sometimes you go without-
The W in your win bracket.
Or the title around your waist.”

Jessica: “Stop it now. I don’t want to talk.”

Elissa: “You’re right. This was a waste.”

Jessica: “You know what? Fight me!
If you’re so mad-
I’ll tear you limb from limb!”

Elissa: “Please. You’re just sad.”

Jessica stepped forward
And nearly threw her fist.
But Joshua stepped in
Just like this

Joshua: “Whoa! Jessica! Calm down a sec!”

Elissa shook her head and wandered off.

Joshua: “Why are you picking fights with Elissa?
Let’s sit down and talk.”

Jessica: “I want to go now. Pull the car around.”

She handed him the keys.

Joshua: “What has gotten into you, Why are you-”

Jessica: “Acting like this? Please!
Did you see my match or not?”

Joshua: “I was getting ready, geez.”

Jessica: “Just pull the car around so we can get
Back to our crappy hotel.”

Joshua shook his head and did as she asked.
Even though he felt like hell.
