'Are you sure about this, Miles?'
'What do you mean, 'is he sure?' What's there to be sure about? Hawaiian vay-cay, bay-bay!'
'Shut up, Teagan.'
'Shut up, Teagan. Yeah, Izzy, I'm sure. It's wrestling, for charity. It's basically a thing I like to do and another thing I like to do. Besides, I've been missing the ring since...'
'...yeah. That was a bummer.'
'Yeah.'
'Yeah...also, there's Hawaii...you know...palm trees, and beaches, and Lilo and Stitch's house...'
'Shut up, Teagan.'
'Shut up, Teagan. Do you know anything else about this gig, though? Like, what company is this for? Who else is there?'
'I know it's a Rumble match. That's about it. I mean, it's open to everybody, so...y'know...hard to tell until I'm actually in there with 'em...'
'Wait, a Rumble match? You do know flying in a Rumble match is a bad idea, right?'
'Uh...yeah? Thank you, Captain Obvious...'
'Oh yeah? Well, what are you gonna do for offence, then, smartypants?'
'Hey! My offence is versatile!'
'Sure it is! There's flipping, flopping and flying! Really covering all the bases!'
'Shut up, Teagan.'
'Shut up, Teagan. Really, though, I'll just adapt my style. This isn't the first match like this I've been in. In fact, I seem to remember winning last time...'
'Objection! There were like six people in that match! It was barely even a Rumble!'
'I mean, she's got a point...'
'Shut up, Teagan. Look, Iz...don't sweat the details. If I get thrown out, I get thrown out. What matters is, I'm going to be contributing to a good cause. And I'm still well-known enough to put butts in seats. The more butts, the more money the company makes. That's all I care about.'
'Awww...I keep forgetting what a little honeybunny cutie pie you are! Seriously, one of these days life is gonna destroy your soul...and it's gonna be sad to see.'
'Shut up, Teagan.'
'Whatever. Speaking of honeybunny cutie pies, where's mine? Auntie Teagan misses his little baby face!'
'You mean Run? He has AV Club today. He won't be back 'till later.'
'Wait...so who's gonna shoot your video, then? Don't you have to turn that into them before you fly out to Hawaii? And aren't you flying out tomorrow morning?'
'You mean we're flying out tomorrow morning...'
'Shut up, Teagan.'
'Shut up, Teagan. And don't you guys worry about that. The video's definitely going to be turned in in time. I got a little Plan B lined up.'

'Guess who's back...back again...Miles is back...tell a friend...'
Sorry, guys...couldn't resist...! Seriously, though...what's UP, everybodyyyyy? You know who this is...your friendly neighbourhood Frequent Flyer! That's right, it's ya boy Miles A. Way, here with a very special announcement! You guys ready?
...You sure you're ready?
...OK, here goes – in only a couple of days, your boy's going to be entering the Invitational Rumble match at Tara Fenix's charity wrestling event in Waikiki, Hawaii!!
That's right, all you guys who hit me up after the situation at Revo a couple of months ago, saying how disappointed you were that I didn't hang around for longer...well, now you get to see me wrestle again! Patience always pays off!
And yes, I know what you're all thinking. Rumble match. A chance in a dozen, if I'm lucky. Most likely a chance in a hundred. Plus, I can't even do my thing, because what kind of dum-dum tries to fly in a match where everybody's trying to throw everybody else over the ropes? And yes, you're right – it's crazy. It's probably not going to end very well for me. But you know me – I like big odds. I like challenges. I like being the underdog. Because the thing is...when you're an underdog...nobody takes you seriously. When you're an underdog, everybody overlooks you. And that's when upsets happen. That's when the little dog wins the fight. And this little dog has won plenty of fights that way.
Even if I don't win, though, you know what? It's no big deal. This isn't about wins, or losses, or belts, or opportunities. This is just a charity event. Just a bunch of guys and girls raising money for a good cause, by doing what they like. And this match? It's just a match. No pressure. No stakes. It's actually kind of refreshing. You know? I can't remember the last time I wasn't wrestling for anything, or to prove anything. I can't remember the last time I was wrestling just...to wrestle. Just for the sake of it. For the joy of it.
So, yeah, I'm hype. And I hope whoever's in that ring with me in a couple of days is just as hype as me. Because no matter what happens, I'm going to be giving the organizers, and everybody else in that arena, the best performance I possibly can – and it would be really cool if everybody was on the same wavelenght. 'Cause that way, we could make magic. That way, we could put on a barn-burner, and send everybody home happy, no matter who ends up winning. What do you say, guys? Are you up for that?
Well...I guess I'll find out in a few days. Until then, make sure you guys show your support – I'll put the link to the fundraiser in the description down below. Even if you can't show up, throw these guys a couple of bucks; they deserve it. And if you can show up...well, then, see you there!
For now, this is Captain Miles, of Way Airlines, signing out.'
