Valentine's Day was a holiday created entirely by hallmark, to put more money into their company. Atleast, that's how I've always looked at it. It really holds no significance whatsoever. It's a day to love your significant other, and show them you really care. Well, if you are madly in love with this person, shouldn't you be doing that anyway? Oh, it's Valentine's Day, I guess I have to get her something. *sulks off to the store* A fake holiday shouldn't tell you when to show your love. If it does, you're stupid.

So, it was one hundred percent fitting that I be performing against Jade on the fake holiday of love. The world had seen the rise and fall of the power couple, so it's only fair that the world watch as we tear each other apart, right? We had met almost exactly a year ago, so it made it even more perfect.

"Can you just feel the love in the air today? It's just everywhere, isn't it?"

The camera flickers to life, focusing on me. He's in some sort of flower shop. Perfect for V-day, right? From the ceiling hangs a bunch of paper hearts, setting the scene for this 'holiday'.

"We've been through it all, Jade, and everyone knows it. We've been from competitors, to lovers, to friends, to enemies, to strangers, to lovers, and we've made it full circle back to enemies. I knew that on this special edition of TTT, I would be facing you. Even if you hadn't requested the match itself, we would have ended up against each other. Without Nikki and Dante roamming the BUD halls together, when Nova and Emerald are taking every title hand in hand, people looked to Jade and Zarek. Dante Cross and Nikki Black have had many encounters on opposite sides of the ring, but we all know they're still together. Just like them, we've fought over the Heavyweight title, and although a third party ended up with the victory, everyone knows we stole the show. Furthermore, we're going to steal it this time, as well."

I walked towards the camera, as the cameraman walks backwards. Every step I took, the cameraman took one backwards.

"Do you remember how we first met, Christina? A year and two days ago we had our first encounter. I don't remember the BUDvision battle royal only because it was my first title win, I remember it because it's when I first met you. I was straight out of the indys, trying to make my way to the top, while you were an already well established superstar. It was my third match on the primetime, and I was highly underestimated by everyone. You, however, knew my potential. I remember it well. You were the only one that knew I was worth something. In the end it came down to you, Emerald, and myself. You said it right when you said I would make something of myself in this industry, because we both know I ended up winning that whole damn thing. You were my first real ally her in BUD, and we knew it would take us somewhere else. We knew there was much more there than just a friendship, so we started seeing each other...somewhat in secret."

I snatched one of the hearts and looked at the surface.. Hmm..."Zarek + Jade". Wonderful.

"Of course, that led to a tag team match, putting us in an awkward position. You were managing Dark Child, the bitch himself. Why? I will never know, but you were managing him when I first met you. My own manager, Abram McCallister, had made friends with Kimberly Pain, which pitted Kim and I as allies. Of course, Stephanie thought it wise to put the rumors to a test. She could even get a good match out of it. So you were forced to team with Dark Child, to take on Kim and myself. Well, that was definitely an interesting matchup. I'm glad you chose me in the end, though. I mean, where is DC now? Besides, we both know you were better of with me anyway. Not only was he an incredible jackass, but he dared to put his hands on you outside of the match. Then he claimed to like you? Whattadouche. You slapped that mo' fo' right in the center of the ring, pretty much telling him to fuck off. You technically got the lose, but you also picked up me, so I'm thinking you won in the end."

Closing my hand, the paper heart is crushed.

"From there it was just a little up and down ride, but for the most part we were alright. I mean sure we had our arguments, but everything always worked out for us in the end. We never had a fight that was bad enough for us not to work it out. At one time, I even thought you would be the one I would marry. Well, we all know how that turned out. Chris Burden came into town, and I can almost say that you forgot all about me. He was some old fling that you apparently never got over, and I suddenly became not good enough for you. You screwed him, and I caught you both. The worst part was that you then tried to lie about it, right to my face. So I challenged that jackass to a match at Beyond Redemption, where you were the special referee. I asked Stephanie for that match specifically because you needed to choose Christina. It was either going to be me or him, and you wouldn't give me a straight answer, so I decided to test it for myself. Put simply, you screwed me, and not in the literal sense. I had him pinned for the three count, but you refused to count, leading to me losing the entire match. Thanks for that again by the way."

Please just don't play with me, my paper heart will bleed. All-American Rejects. Sorry, couldn't help myself...

"From then on we weren't really in BUD at the same times anymore. When I was here, you weren't, and when you were here, I was on LOA. Finally, we came back to BUD at the exact same time, so it was time to put it behind us. I told you I had forgiven you long ago, and you threw it back in my face, refusing to even be friends with me. We made up and everything, and even had ourselves a fun Christmas Eve, didn't we? Ha. But it didn't exactly last long, did it? No, because we both got hungry for gold, and we both said things that we didn't really mean. Well, I said things I didn't mean, I can't speak for you."

With all of the flowers around him, he can't help but pick one up. A red rose. Cliche much?

"You didn't stop there though. Everyone knows about your sexcapades with Drew Stevenson, and making it a habit of crusing the one guy that actually goesn't see you as just a piece of meat. It's okay though, I'm over it, and you've shown that you are too."

A sniff. Smells like...a flower. Errr...I mean, so good? I don't know.

"We've gone in a complete circle Jade. Hell, we've gone in two complete circles and then some. It only makes sense that we be paired up against one another, wouldn't you agree? But please know that in this match you aren't the former love of my life Christina Gellar, you're the powerhungry, Jade. There will be no holding back, and I will expect you to do the same. You may hold that BUDvision on your shoulder, but remember, I've already done so on two different occasions defeating numerous opponents. True, you've defeaten Leaky Format like only I could, but I'm pretty sure two battle royals beat that. So, tonight, when you're looking at me across the ring, just remember that I'm your competition, and somebody you've never been able to put down."

She loves me...she loves me not...she loves me...she loves me not.

"Oh yeah, Happy Valetine's Day, babe."

He petal-less rose to the ground.

Gone.

Methods of Madness: Can you tell it's a bit rushed? Totally caught me off guard, I apologize.
