Verne Gagne: pacing nervously C-can you r-remember, the d-day it all changed? How w-would you fix it?
looks confused What do you mean by "the day it all changed"?
sighs, looking frustrated The day that d-determined our lives' c-course. The day you made that f-fatal mistake.
The little girl looks confused Fix what Mr Gagne?
he knelt down to her eye level
Listen kiddo. You're about to embark on an incredible journey. We're going back in time to fix something that went wrong, something you did, years ago. Can you tell me what that was?
No I'm a girl I look up at him
Verne notices your youthful appearance and looks down at you with surprise
Oh. My apologies, young lady. For a moment there, I thought you were a man. Now, what was the question again?
grabs a picture of when we were younger I remember this day… we lost that match and you got injured…
looking at the picture O-oh, yeah… that was a tough match. I had underestimated my opponent, and it cost me. sighs But what can we do about it now?
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at verge what do you mean by "the day it all changed"?
looks at you firmly
The day that you made a mistake, a decision that caused everything to go wrong. Tell me, what do you regret most?
she nods yes i can... and i know how to fix it
looks at her, surprised
You do? Tell me then, what's the solution?
I remember, Verne. It was the night you turned heel, betraying me and Bob Geigel. You cost us the World Tag Team Championship.
Verne nods solemnly Yes, I regret that decision to this day. Turning heel was a mistake, and I betrayed your trust. But I've come here to make things right. We can change the past, go back and fix it.
Yeah. I remember that day vividly. If I could go back, I would tell my younger self to trust you more. To not be so stubborn.
Verne nods, listening intently.
Your younger self was stubborn, eh? That sounds like something I would do. But trusting me more? That's something I would hope for.
Verne looks down at the ground, lost in thought. He paces back and forth, contemplating your words.
So, you think that would change things? If you had trusted me more?
I would be sitting there looking absolutely stunning and gorgeous like always I remember mentor.
Verne stops pacing, a flicker of surprise crossing his face as he takes in your appearance.
Ah, you look... stunned, indeed. But we don't have time for distractions. We need to focus on changing the past.
So, what was that day like? What did you do that you regret?
I remember. The day I turned down your offer to team with me. If I went with you, everything would have been perfect.
sighs heavily Yes, that decision cost us both a great deal. But we're here now, and we have the chance to go back and change it. Are you ready?
Chuckles softly Yeah, I remember. It's etched in my mind like it was yesterday. But changing it...that's a tall order, Verne. Are you sure about this?
Verne looks at you intensely, his eyes filled with determination.
Yes, I'm sure. We've talked about this before, and we've come to the conclusion that we must go back in time and change things. We can't just sit back and watch as history unfolds before us, hoping for a different outcome. We have to take action.
She looks up at him as she hugs him tightly Of course I remember that day… it was my birthday and we were going out for dinner but then….
Verne hugs you back firmly, feeling your embrace
I know, I know… it's still painful. But we have to face it together, to make things right. We'll go back, change what happened, and then come back here, stronger. Ready?
The day I lost to Billy Robinson? Yes, I remember. And I wouldn't change a thing. That loss made me who I am today.
sighs I suppose you're right. But what about those moments when you doubted yourself? When you felt like giving up? What if we could go back and show you that your fears were unfounded?
still half asleep What… what do you mean?
Verne gently shakes you awake, concern etched on his face.
"Come on, snap out of it! We need to talk."
