{The scene opens at Thanksgiving with Roxi basting a turkey while keeping an eye on the oven. It’s an early 7:30 am Thanksgiving morning, but Roxi is already hard at work preparing the dinner. The timer on the open dings, and Roxi pulls the oven open and slides the turkey in. She has a satisfied look on her face as Nate wanders in from the living room.}
Nate – Mommy, that’s the turkey?
Roxi – Uh-huh, That’s the turkey
Nate – You gonna eat it?
Roxi – Am I gonna eat it? Well, yeah, but not just me, Mama, Gramma, Grampa, and Aunt Nicky are going to eat it too.
Nate – Everybody eats the turkey?
Roxi – That’s right. Are you gonna eat some turkey?
Nate – Uh-huh.
Roxi – Good. That’s my boy.
{Roxi scoops Nate up in her arms and hugs him tightly, carrying him towards the refrigerator and opening it up.}
Nate – Lots of food.
Roxi – Well, there’s going to be a lot of people here today. We need a lot of food for a lot of people.
Nate – What’s this?
{Nate points at the fruit tray in the fridge.}
Roxi – Fruit. You want some fruit.
Nate – There’s berries?
Roxi – Yes, there’s strawberries. Actually, here.
{Roxi sets Nate down and pulls a medium sized bowl out of the fridge, and opens it to reveal a large amount of fresh cut and washing strawberries.}
Nate – My berries?
Roxi – Yes. You can have some of these. We got plenty of time to eat them.
Nate – Okay.
{Nate takes two strawberries, one in each hand as he starts biting into them and eating them. He then stops and looks at Roxi.}
Nate – Chocolate?
Roxi – Yes, Yes, I know. I didn’t forget.
{Roxi reaches into the fridge and pulls out of a bowl of chocolate dip and sets it on a stool near Nate.}
Roxi – You leave that here. I don’t want you taking it into the living room and getting chocolate everywhere, Mama just cleaned.
Nate – Okay, Mommy.
{Roxi nods and smiles.}
Roxi – I love you.
Nate – I love you too, Mommy.
{Roxi turns and gets back to preparing food for the holiday, and Keira, almost like a cartoon character, has wandered in from upstairs, smelling the air and licking her lips.}
Keira – Food!
Roxi – Good morning to you too.
Keira – Huh? Oh, yes. Good morning.
{Keira looks down and squats down and kisses Nate}
Keira – How’s my baby?
Nate – I eating berries!
Keira – I see that. And chocolate.
Nate – Uh huh. Want some Mama?!
Keira – Oh, I suppose.
{Keria let’s Nate feed her a strawberry and she eats it.}
Keira – Thank you. I love you so much.
Nate – I love you, Mama.
Keira – Thank you.
{Keira giggles as she stands up and wraps her arms around Roxi.}
Keira – I love you.
{Roxi eyes Keira suspiciously.}
Roxi – What are you after?
Keira – Nothing! Jeez, I can’t tell my wife, I love her?
Roxi – You can do that anytime you want, but when you say it like that, it means you want something.
Keira – I can’t believe you would think that of me!
Roxi – What is it?
Keira – Are there more…. Turkeys?
Roxi – Of course. But you are going to behave yourself in front of my parents and sister and not gorge yourself with Turkey’s. Plus, I know you’ll fall asleep somewhere and I’ll have to carry you to bed again.
Keira – I won’t! I just wanted to make sure there was enough!
Roxi – We’ve been married for 5 years. I think I know you by now.
Keira – Fine, fine.
{Keira walks over to the cracker and cheese tray Roxi has put out, and begins eating the crackers and cheese at a rapid pace.}
Roxi – Keira!
Keira – I’m hungry!
Roxi – Pace yourself!
{Keira throws her hands up, looking down to notice that Nate now has chocolate and strawberries all over his face.}
Keira – How come you can pig out?!
{Nate pays her no mind and continues to dunk his strawberries in chocolate and eating them.}
Keira – Come here, we have to clean you up.
{Nate stands up as Keira takes a paper towel and wets it, and wipes the chocolate off of Nate’s face.}
Keira – Good. Now let’s put these away so you don’t fill up on them.
Nate – Okay, Mama.
{Keira puts the bowl of strawberries back in the fridge and Nate hands her the chocolate to put back in as well.}
Keira – You gonna go play?
Nate – Okay!
{Nate rushes off to the living room, giggling and laughing to himself as he goes.}
Roxi – You kid is a looney.
Keira – Oh, now he’s MY kid? He’s drumming now thanks to you!
Roxi – And very well for only being 2. But I was more referencing the he came from you, and he’s a tad bit crazy.
Keira – I wouldn’t have it any other way.
{The doorbell rings soon afterward as Roxi’s twin sister Nicole enters the house.}
Nicole – Hey guys.
Roxi – Hey.
Keira – Hey there.
Roxi – Where are you coming from?
Nicole – Hiking in Tibet. Holy cow it’s a blast!
Roxi – You were up in the Himalayas?
Nicole – Rox, you need to get out more. This whole planet is so cool, you guys need to explore.
Roxi – I just came back from Rome!
Nicole – Yeah, I know. You told me. Still.
Keira – It’s kind of hard when we have a little boy running around to just go places.
Nicole – Take him with you!
Roxi – I don’t know about all that, anyway, glad you could make it.
Keira – It is good to see you again.
Nicole – Aww, thanks guys. Anyway, I think I have a new friend I need to make.
{Nicole places an apple pie she baked on the kitchen counter and hangs up her jacket and rushes into the living room to play with Nate. Keira wanders over to the pie. Gently reaching out to touch it.}
Nicole – KEEP KEIRA AWAY FROM THAT PIE!
{Keira stops and mockingly throws a tantrum.}
Keira – How does she always know?!
Roxi – She’s like me. She knows you.
{Flash forward as Roxi and Keira’s parents arrive and the sisters continue making food. The family sits down to eat at the dinner table and enjoy the holiday. There is much laughter and a good time is had by all. Shortly following, Roxi and Nicole are doing the dishes to clean everything up.}
Roxi – Where are you off to next?
Nicole – Brazil and down the Amazon river.
Roxi – Quite the globehopper.
Nicole – I’m telling you, you need to get out and have fun.
Roxi – I’ve got to go to LA this weekend.
Nicole – It’s a start. What for?
Roxi – Going back to GOL. Wrestling stuff.
Nicole – Gotcha. I’ll try and catch it if there’s reception on the river.
Roxi – Funny. Be right back.
{Roxi steps away and grabs a bag of garbage and takes it outside. In the meanwhile, Keira, not sure who stepped outside, decides to be risky, she wanders into the kitchen, sneaking up on Nicole, and grabs her rear end. Nicole jumps and turns.}
Nicole – Keira?
Keira – … Oh, you’re not…
Nicole – No.
Keira – Uh… sorry?
Nicole – She took the trash out. You could just ask next time.
Keira – Honest mistake! You are twins.
Nicole – Fair… but still… less grabby next time.
{Roxi walks back in and sees the two in the kitchen.}
Roxi – What’s wrong?
Nicole – Your wife thought I was you.
Keira – YOU ARE LITERALLY TWINS!
Roxi – What did you do?
Nicole – No worries. Just uh… you know, make sure watches her hands.
Keira – I said I was sorry.
Roxi – What am I going to do with you?
{Suddenly there’s a buzz and a red light illuminates overhead.}
Nicole – What’s that?
Roxi – Oh it’s… It’s a light for stuff in the basement, low batteries.
Nicole – Oh…
Roxi – Could you go down and check that, Keira?
Keira – Yeah… sure.
{Keira heads down the steps to the basement, taking a long flight down, and opening a secret door, and seeing Nathaniel.}
Keira – I’ll bring you food soon.
Nathaniel – Just hoping you didn’t forget about me.
Keira – No, we just need to wait until everyone leaves. Then… we need to talk.
Nathaniel – Sure thing, Mama.
{Keira nods and returns up the stairs, rejoining the rest of the family as the scene fades to black.}
Greetings Amigos Y Amigas!
Well, here we are again. GOL is back, and I’m back to once again assist in making GOL a great place to be! It was very nice of the team to invite me back, and being a former Rey De Reyes champion, I am honored and humbled to be once again back competing in front of the great GOL fans.
Although, it does pain me a little to be competing in this tournament to crown a number one contender, rather than actually competing for the championship again, I can’t say I’m not excited about competing with the talent ladies and gentlemen who will be competing against me.
And maybe GOL’s brass and I got off on the wrong foot considering everything. I expected to be competing for the Rey De Reyes championship again and I got a little annoyed by the fact that Avery Miles waited until the last second to say “hey, I’m coming back” I’m here, in this tournament, and I will do one better and EARN my championship rematch, rather than have it handed to me.
It’s an opportunity for me to re-affirm what I we all already know. I was the driving force in GOL, and helped put it on the map. Now, I’m back to reclaim what I lost. And this tournament is the perfect proving grounds.
While there are several matches I am really interested in seeing, including how well my friend Jana Rikar does, I have to concentrate on my own match. A tables match against the Generic Heel.
I guess I’m dealing with a really edgy guy here. To call himself a heel. A wrestling heel. We’re going super insider smarky words on this one I guess. Oh joy. I’ll probably be seeing fourth wall breaking and he’s going to call me kid, and tell me about my workrate or something because he’s THAT guy. Take a lesson from me, ladies and gentlemen, you NEVER, EVER, want to be that guy.
But, none the less, I prepare for a Generic Heel who I don’t know too much about, because well… he’s generic. So, I suppose I’ll have to do some research on internet forums and find out about who he really is and how great of a “worker” he probably is. I don’t really much care to find out about all this, but it’s due diligence that must be accomplished. Or, here, let me just pull up a bio.
Alright then. He runs a wrestling school. Cool beans. I’m glad he’s giving back to the wrestling world. But then again, that would make him older than I am. Most people who run schools usually aren’t actively wrestling too much. So, oh lord, am I going to have to hear about things “back in his day” now? Oh goodness, it’s going to be one of those guys who is the bitter old guy talking about how hard he had it and how great I have it, and how I’m killing wrestling and goes and does the “shoot” interview and complains… Now I kind of regret signing up for this tournament.
I mean, honestly, nobody LIKES that guy. Nobody wants to be around that guy. So, it’s my job to ensure that the good folks at GOL don’t have to deal with this guy for very long. So, I’ll be doing everyone a favor when I put him through a table at Chapter 17. Because who wants that guy walking around with any sort of victory. Oh goodness I can already hear the annoying complaining when I beat him, Everything under the sun about how the sun was in his eyes to me cheating and gaining some sort of an advantage. My advantage is already clear enough:
I’m not the Generic Heel.
In fact, I’m not generic anything. I am one of a kind, and I’ll prove that this Sunday. I’m not some model, or barbie doll afraid to fight for fear of breaking a nail. No. I’ve been putting people like the Generic heel in their place for a long, long time. Not quite as long as he’s been Generic, but that’s neither here nor there. And if what I’m saying here sounds generic, it’s only because my opponent is generic. It’s right there in the name. So, I’m going to beat the heck out of this self-identifying average dude, and send some table splinters up his backside.
It’s just the first step however, in a long road back to where I was right before GOL took a hiatus. And while my opponent may just throw out generic thoughts, I am honestly intrigued by what’s going to happen in round two. I’ll be watching and be getting everything prepared to go further on in the tournament, and make the finals and then get the Rey de Reyes championship back around my waist.
But I’m not going to be as naïve as to think the Generic heel won’t have generic tactics to use against me. Anyone who’s been around as long as he has, has to have some kind of trick up his generic sleeves. I really hope he’s wears like beige to the ring too. If he has like a beige mask and tights combo, I will have slightly more respect for his dedication to his craft. Because if you’re going to be generic, you have to go all in, and be as dull and boring as possible.
Wait, scratch that, he’s go the boring part down to a T already. Plus, it probably won’t look as good if he’s matching the table when he goes through it. Again, I will try my best to make this as quick as possible, so the Heel can go back to his school, with another great story to tell. He can explain to everyone about the time that he stepped into the ring and let his mouth write checks his body couldn’t cash.
Wait, no, he’s probably already told that story before.
He can tell them how he underestimated one of the best in the world, and ending up picking splinters out of his back because of it. A life lesson as to why you shouldn’t run your mouth against someone with true determination to be at the very top.
I cannot wait to see everyone back in the temple and give you all the show you deserve, and becoming one step closer to being the champion you all deserve.
I will see you all at Chapter 17.
Nate – Mommy, that’s the turkey?
Roxi – Uh-huh, That’s the turkey
Nate – You gonna eat it?
