LJ: Hello Arina, you are looking as beautiful as ever today. Here these roses are for you.

[Taking the roses and smelling them Arina looks up smiling]

Arina: Thank you LJ they are so beautiful, I am so glad we got see each other today when you are around everything seems a little less hopeless.

LJ:I know what you mean without you I would not even be here it is your love and support that has giving me the strength to carry on Arina. I owe you everything.

Arina: You owe me nothing LJ it was you who taught me how to love you who showed me there is more in this Universe then the conflict I have known my whole existence. Walk with me.

[the young couple walk through the park holding hands on this perfect spring day.]

Arina: I wish we could stay like this forever LJ, the only time I ever truly know peace is when I am with you.

LJ: I know Arina the only good thing about this war is that it brought you into my life.when I first looked into your eyes I knew I had found what was missing in my life.

[Stopping under a tall oak tree the young couple embrace and share a deep passionate kiss.]

Arina: LJ, I love you so much some times I just wish we could go away together to some remote place and let the rest of the universe pass us by.

LJ: I love you too Arina, and I would not be able to live with myself if even one life was lost because I took you away from where you are need most.

Arina: I have found a new reason to fight since I met you and.....

LJ: Arina what is wrong?

Arina: There is trouble LJ I have to go I am sorry.

LJ: Don't be sorry go and do what must be done I understand and Arina please be careful.

Arina:: I promise my love.

[The sounds of the TV suddenly stop and we then see that we are in the bedroom of LJ Black and Trinity Litrell's multi-million dollar home in Philadelphia on Sunday night. The room is tastefully elegant. The walls are done in a creamy beige and the floor a shade darker. The black bedsheets contrast nicely with the rest of the decor. We see the couple laying in the large king-sized bed, wrapped in them. Trin has her head rested on LJ's bare chest, who is sitting up againest the headboard. He puts down the remote, having put the large, flatscreen TV on mute.]

LJ: I am so popular they are using my name for characters in movies now.

[Trin snickers in delight at his remark.]

LJ: Finally. A couple hours to relax. I spent all day with the heads of different departments as well as engineers preparing for tomorrow's presentation. Members of the Senate and military will be there as the newly restructured Black Corp Industries makes its bid for that aerospace contract.

Trin: You deserve more than a couple hours to relax, love. But are you sure you're ready for this? I mean, it's a huge step for the company. A lot is on the line.

LJ: Babe, this will put our aerospace division on the map. Besides which, I have a couple of senators in my pocket. The only real problem is General McGrady. He believes that because of my money that we along with Hughes got away with murder.

Trin: A lot of people think that. But I don't think it should be any problem. If it gets too heated, we can always have Shawn come in and bail us out, say that something came up and we have to reschedule. I don't think it will come to that though. You are ever the persuationist, Mr. Black.

LJ: I am not worried about McGrady. I have enough officials in Washington on that think that I can handle him. Maybe I should bribe the referees in the NAEW not that I need any help to win. Against Aaron Idol.

Trin: (snickers): Kermit was wrong. It is easy being green.

LJ: Gold is just as good. After I finish Aaron Idol off Tuesday night I will have one less person to worry about at the pay per view where I will be the next NAEW World Champion Idol may be a two time NAEW Champion. He will not make it to Sunday to try for a third reign as Champion though.

Trin: You will not only take Aaron Idol out in your match, but his career and dignity as well. Though in his case, I think he'd be better off without all three.

LJ: Aaron is a former World Champion I will give him that. Still man who has the name Idol he must have big ego to make up for his short comings.

Trin: There is nothing short about you babe.

LJ when I win the NAEW World Title Sunday it will be the start of my long reign as Champion.

Trin: Well, when you win that title, maybe you can give it back some of it's shine. It's been so long since you've had gold around that sexy waist of yours. You deserve it more than anyone, love. For right now, let's get some sleep. We need to get up bright and early tomorrow. We have busy days ahead. LJ: You mean a busy night.

[Before Trin can say anything, LJ embraces her in a deep, passionate kiss. He manages to grab the remote and turn the TV off and the scene fades to black.]
