                                                               “Confrontations”

                      Monday Night RAW, Raleigh, North Carolina (RBC Center), just arriving, around... 8pm

“Yeah, well I'm just saying! Don't you think that when you see a black animal of ANY KIND cross your path, it's bad luck?” Mike asked, continuing an argument with Kat about a black squirrel crossing the road on our way here.

“Well, in the old stories it's always a black cat! And that wasn't a cat!” Kat said, avoiding various pebbles in the parking lot.

“I just think that other black animals shouldn't be left out. I mean, if you saw a black bear crossing your path, wouldn't that be bad luck?” he asked.

“Well, just crossing your path and doing absolutely nothing like you're implying it is, no. Coming straight at you, yes.” she said back, kicking around a rock.

“Well, I'll let you meld in your wrong opinions, then. Just watch out for falling pianos or snakes or something.” Mike said, looking around him looking paranoid.

“Why pianos and snakes?” Punk asked.

“Because that's the way it happens in the movies.” Mike answered.

“Oh, yes. Because everything in movies is completely, one-hundred percent true.” Maria chimed in, sarcastically.

“Exactly! You guys heard Frankenstein's Monster in the janitor's closet last night after 'Mania!” he argued, bringing up a loud bang and a growl we all heard last night.

“That was Jose the Janitor banging his head on the ceiling and growling in pain.” Maria said, knowingly.

“Jose's not that tall.” Mike said back.

“He's like, six-foot-eight, Mike!” I said, surprised that Mike hasn't noticed that in the past.

“Okay, but I'm still standing firmly on the squirrel thing. I mean, that probably wasn't even a squirrel!” he said.

“What?” Kat asked in confused desperation.

“It could have been a cat in a squirrel disguise. It was pretty big.” Mike said observantly.

“What?” we all asked in the same tone as Kat the first time.

“You saw it! It was bigger than the dog Kat had when she was a kid!”

“I had a St. Bernard when I was a kid, Mike.” Kat said, raising an eyebrow at him.

“Okay, well as big as Kathryn's childhood cat!” he said.

“Which one? Francine or Onslow?” I asked.

“Francine.” he answered.

“Dude, Francine was fat as all hell. And Onslow was insanely skinny. AND they were both house cats, Mike. Not squirrels.” I said back.

“Well, it was a big squirrel. Let's just leave it at that.” he said finally.

“Yes. Please!” Kaitlyn said from next to John.

“Since when do you chime in on our little group debates?” Maria asked, looking up from her phone.

“Since I got bored just being John's arm candy.” she said, looking up at her boyfriend.
