It's not about luck, it's about being the uber Kristen.
Well, sure. The luck part comes in with all the external stuff you can't control, which I won't write out because I can only think of bad examples right now.

Kristen, all the best to you! And what ita's mother would say, too. Just go in there and be all Kristen. They'll love you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Go Kristen! Knock their socks off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not pooh-poohing the wishes for Kristen's luck -- if you want a defense of my mother's PoV, I'm more than happy to give you her phone number.

I'm not pooh-poohing (poo? Pooh?) either! Just amplifying.
Dear Kristen: EVERYTHING GOOD, inside and out!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Go, Kristen!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Go, Kristen!!!!!

Jesse, take ita's mother's number. Think of the power, girl. It's just a phone call away.
