Marina instantly takes in Jenny’s eyes and greets her with a warm smile.

Marina “Hello, Jenny.”

Jenny takes in Marina’s eyes and the confidence they exude.

Jenny “H-hi.”

Lisa “Hey, Shane, can I t-”

Lisa is interrupted as Kit opens the microphone.

Kit “Ladies, I need your attention! I want y’all to give a big Planet welcome back to one of our own sisters! Fresh off a runner-up finish in the Memphis South Cup, y’all give it up for Dana Fairbanks!”

Kit noticed Dana the moment she arrived, carrying with her the runner-up trophy from the Memphis South Cup tournament. This part was unexpected and she responds with “Oh! Wow!” as the patrons and workers at the Planet applaud. From her table, Alice yells, “Speech!” which prompts others to do the same.

Dana turns to see Marcy handing Dana the microphone. Lacey looks on from the bar while Renee keeps distant with her beer.

Dana “Okay, um… wow. I uhhh, wasn’t expecting a speech. I just wanted to drop something off and hang out, but yeah! Um. Guys, Australia sucked. I sucked there. And I know if I wanna do any good in Paris, I’m gonna have to keep training hard, but… but this feels good.”

The crowd applauds.

Dana “I know… I know it’s not the Championship, because Vera played lights out, but I promised Marina if I could ever get my career back on track and get some kind of trophy, I was gonna bring it to the Planet to celebrate so… uh, Marina? Is Marina here?”

The crowd applauds again as Marina makes her presence known to Dana. They greet one another with a hug.

Dana “Marina, I have a place where I live and it’s where I sleep, but the Planet is home. And this is where my family is.”

The patrons applaud approvingly.

Dana “And I hope when I go to Europe in May I can bring back more hardware, but this trophy… I want you to have so it can be part of the Planet so when I see it, I’m reminded that I’m home and I’m with family and I love you guys!”

Marina accepts the trophy and offers a congratulatory kiss on the right cheek to Dana while the crowd applauds once more.
