ONE HOUR LATER
(The scene opens into the living room. Candice and Desmond are texting on their phones, as is Camille as you hear shouting from the other room of the kids playing. Consuela is seen sleeping on Terry’s shoulder as Terry is wide awake paying attention to the game, because Lions are one of Bears division rivals. Carmen then walks into the room and approaches them.)

Carmen: You invited me to do all the heavy lifting? No, all of you, get your butts to the kitchen!

Candice Blair: Mom, I had my nails done yesterday --

(Carmen snatches Candice’s cell phone before pointing to the kitchen.)

Desmond::mjlol: !!!!!!!!

Candice Blair::noah: !!!!! I came here to eat and decorate, not to cook.

Desmond: If she’s cooking shit, then, help us all.

(Candice throws a gold colored ornament at the Australian, hitting him in the head from across the room.)

Terry Chambers: I can help if you want, if she doesn’t want to.

Carmen: I like you already, Terry. Let’s go.

(Terry wakes up Consuela who is laying her head on his shoulder.)

Carmen: Consuela, you’re hosting, you’ve laid down enough. Chop Chop.

Consuela Rose Ava: Okay, what do you want me to do?

Carmen: I think we’re out of bowls to put the other ingredients in.

Consuela Rose Ava: I believe they’re in the garage somewhere.

Carmen: Alright, go find them.

Consuela Rose Ava: On it. Terry, yelp for help if you need it. My mom can be a dictator in the kitchen. :mjgrin:

Terry Chambers: She’s got nothing on my mom when I was in her way in the kitchen when I was a kid. :wow:

(Consuela smiles at him as she leaves for the garage in search of the extra bowls, leaving Terry with Carmen and Candice, who still is without her phone, so she has no other choice, but to help them out. Candice washes her hands since she’ll be touching food.)

Candice Blair: So, Terry, are you a good cook?

Terry Chambers: I try my best. My ex-wife used to do the cooking, but I’ve picked up some things since then.

Carmen: Hopefully, you’ll learn something new with us. It’s always been me, Cameron and Consuela who helped with the cooking, but this year's been a little different, so I’m expecting for everyone to pitch in? Candice, you can chop up the carrots. Terry, are you able to help me with preparing the turkey?

Terry Chambers: Sure, can’t lift it or need it stuffed?

Carmen: Just place it on the counter, so we can begin stuffing. Candice is chopping the last of the things for the stuffing.

(Terry does that effortlessly, before Carmen decides if she wants to ask some questions.)

Carmen: So, how do you and Consuela know each other? How did you guys become friends before you started dating? I don’t think I caught that.

Terry Chambers: We were friends for a bit last season. I checked up on her after Lars Grier had attacked her, and his group decided to attack me too in the process. Ever since then, we grew closer, and before you know it, we kissed at Pain for Pride and we’re going out.

Candice Blair: Not going to lie, but I cried when you two kissed at Pain for Pride. :mjcry:

Carmen: It was truly a beautiful moment, but I really didn’t know much about you, Terry. I just thought my daughter was just kissing a random man, but it’s nice to know that you guys were close beforehand.

Candice Blair: Consuela kissing just any random guy….right.

Terry Chambers: What do you mean?

Carmen: I really don’t think that’s it’s my story to tell, but it’s just amazing to see Consuela bounce back and get back in the dating scene.

Candice Blair: Also, her meeting you and stuff. We just wanna see people in our family happy and she hasn’t been happier than she is right now and with you.

Terry Chambers: That’s good to hear. She told me she hasn’t dated since she was 20, was there something she didn't tell me?

Candice Blair: I feel like this is something that she should tell you. Maybe, she’s not ready to tell you, but --

(Candice is completely cut off as Consuela walks back into the kitchen with a stack of giant bowls. The entire kitchen goes silent as they’re all looking at her.)

Consuela Rose Ava: I got the bowls. What’s going on?

Carmen: We were just talking about how the two of you came to be.

Terry Chambers: I don't think we get together if Corvus didn't bring us together.

Carmen: It’s crazy how things just fall into place.

Terry Chambers: I just saw the three on one attacks that they were pulling, and I knew I had to do something to help. It got under my skin quite a bit.

Candice Blair: Does anyone notice that Corvus arrived in the scene at the same time as COVID-19 or is it just me? 🤔

Consuela Rose Ava: It was fun when we both destroyed them at Grand Rampage together.

*DOORBELL RING*

Terry Chambers: I invited somebody, I hope you guys didn’t mind.

Candice Blair: I love meeting new people!

Carmen: The more people, the merrier.

Consuela Rose Ava: They were tested before arriving here right? :lupe:

(Terry washes his hands before slowly approaching the door. Leaving the three girls to talk.)

Carmen: Not the change the subject, but when were you going to tell Terry about the incident?

Consuela Rose Ava: Did someone bring it up?

Candice Blair: It may have slipped or been implied. :lupe:

Carmen: We told him that it was your story to tell, but he’ll probably want to know down the line.

Consuela Rose Ava: Bunch of chismosas. 🙄

Candice Blair: It’s going to be alright. It can’t be worse, right? :lupe:

(Terry walks into the kitchen with his baby sister Alexis and baby brother, Tyler.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Oh, you invited Alexis, and you’re Tyler, right?

Tyler Chambers: Yeah, we met on that face time call. And you’re Candice, right?

(Candice slides in front of Consuela cutting off her sister’s handshake. She gets at an appropriate distance to Tyler Chambers as she flutters her eyes before extending her hand to him.)

Candice Blair: I am. I’ve heard things about you.

(Candice flutters her eyes at Tyler before Desmond gets completely in front of her, backing Candice away from Tyler.)

Desmond: No boyfriends. You need to focus on your career.

Tyler Chambers: Oh, I’m not trying to date at this very second. I just broke up with my girlfriend.

Candice Blair: Do you need a new girlfriend? 👀

Desmond: Do I need to put in an extra day of training for you?

Candice Blair: It’s Thanksgiving though and he is just being nice! He’s not looking for anyone at the moment.

Desmond: That’s what they all say. *glares at Tyler* I’ll be keeping my eye on you. Let’s go train!

(Desmond tugs Candice by her arm, getting her out of the kitchen. Candice doesn’t seem like she wants to leave, but perhaps, the training session will kill some time.)

Candice Blair: I will too. :mjlit:

(Candice and Desmond completely disappear from the kitchen, leaving everyone else there.)

Tyler Chambers: Did I do something wrong?

Consuela Rose Ava: You did nothing wrong. Her trainer is very… demanding about her career. He sees the potential and wants to see her focused.

(Consuela turns her attention to Alexis.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Nice to see you again, Alexis. How have things been with you?

Alexis Chambers: Good. Bethany couldn’t be here because she’s still recovering and also didn’t wanna be in an enclosed environment with a lot of people.

Consuela Rose Ava: Same with me, but they’ve all quarantined and done their part, but I’m glad that you’re here. How is Bethany?

Alexis Chambers: She’s doing a lot better. I call and check up on her back in Jersey like every hour or so. She’s that important to me being this far away from her.

Consuela Rose Ava: That’s great to hear. I bet she appreciates it.

Carmen: I would also appreciate it if someone helps me with this stuffing. This dinner won’t be ready on time with all of this talking.

(Not much is sad as Terry and Consuela go assist Carmen with stuffing the turkey and making sure that it’s placed in the oven. Alexis runs and sits next to Candice on the couch. Candice doesn’t look too pleased.)

Alexis Chambers: I got you a present.

(Alexis gives her a very small gift from her bag, with Candice having a suspicion, but also her face lit up with a bit of excitement.)

Candice Blair: It’s for me? 👉🏻👈🏻

Alexis Chambers: Yes. See, I’m not that bad of a person. :pleading_face:

Candice Blair: You just have a big mouth, to be honest. :lupe:

(Candice opens the present, and she takes out a cute puppy keychain. Candice loves animals.)

Candice Blair: This is so precious. I love it. This will be perfect with my car keys. Um, thank you. You didn't need to get me anything.

Alexis Chambers: You really hurt my feelings calling me Bitchlexis and stuff, and I wanted to show that’s not who I am.

Candice Blair: I tend to be catty with people that rub me the wrong way, but that’s the name of the game. There’s gonna be a ton of ugly stuff that people are going to say in that Chamber, but I suppose, I’ll try my best to be nice and stuff.

Alexis Chambers: Yay!

Carmen: You called her WHAT?!

Landon: (from another room) CANDICE CALLED LEXI BITCHLEXIS. :mjlol:

Candice Blair: HEY I SAID I WAS SORRY--

(Chaos is ensuing in the house with a lot of yelling.)

HALF HOUR LATER
(Consuela is seen sitting outside on the little bench on their front patio. She could hear the inside of her house is full of noise and yelling and it was all beginning to be a little overwhelming. She just needed a chance to breath and relax before getting inside of the house.)

???: Hey.

(Consuela turned to her side as she spotted Ms. Extreme sliding into the bench next to her.)

Ms. Extreme: I heard that mom and Candice telling you to tell Terry about that ‘incident.’

Consuela Rose Ava: Yeah, I wasn’t expecting this to be a topic today, but I feel like I may need to tell him. It’s nothing to piss him off or what not, but it explains why it took me so long to get back in the dating scene. I feel like he should know the reason, but I don’t know. I just don’t want him to think that I’m hiding anything.

Ms. Extreme: As mom and Candice said, it’s your story to tell. You can tell him whenever you’re ready. I feel like maybe you should to open up to him about how Oliver’s death really kept you in Frias longer than you anticipated.

Consuela Rose Ava: I only went to Frias to visit dad, but I found Oliver through that journey and I thought that we would end up getting married and having children. We literally put in the papers for the adoption route because he didn’t want anything to get in the way of my wrestling career, but it’s insane how things change in a flash.

Ms. Extreme: Him dying was something that you never anticipated for yourself and I don’t doubt you for closing yourself off from the family for as long as you did. You were mourning and you needed all that time to recover and find yourself.

Consuela Rose Ava: I closed off from the family, began to focus on my wrestling career and trying to get that EAW contract. Making that step to contact Cameron was the biggest step in my life, but I don’t regret it.

Ms. Extreme: Oliver would want you to move on from the situation. *puts a hand on Consuela’s shoulder* He’d want you to open up to Terry about the matter.

(In perfect timing, Terry comes outside as Ms. Extreme stands up from the bench that she sat up from. She looks at Terry with a smile on his face.)

Ms. Extreme: Hi, Terry! What’s up? 😄

Terry Chambers: Hey Camille.

Ms. Extreme: Omg, that’s the nicest you’ve been to me in a while.

Terry Chambers: It’s Thanksgiving, gotta be nice to everybody.

Ms. Extreme: I feel the same way.

(Ms. Extreme looks towards Landon, who is standing on the side of the door, peaking off where she is. Landon is motioning for her to get inside as she sees his message.)

Ms. Extreme: But, I better be heading inside.

(Ms. Extreme gives Consuela a ‘tell him’ look on her face as Consuela nods to her in return. Terry takes a seat next to Consuela.)

Terry Chambers: Your mom’s...a handful.

Consuela Rose Ava: Yeah, she can say things that are a little out of her element at times. I hope she didn’t scare you off.

Terry Chambers: My mom was still scarier. :wow:

Consuela Rose Ava: I’ll be waiting for the day, where you introduce me to her.

(Seconds pass, and Terry throws his arm around Consuela with both of them just sitting and there’s nothing but silence in the air. You can still hear the yelling inside the house behind them. But at this moment it’s just the two of them enjoying each other's company.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Terry, I feel like I need to tell you something. Something personal.

Terry Chambers: You can tell me anything, you know that.

Consuela Rose Ava: Of course. I wasn’t anticipating telling you any of this, but it seems like I should just bring it out of the open and be honest. Terry, you remember how I brought up the fact that I really hadn’t been in relationships in my twenties?

(Terry nods his head in response.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Well, the biggest reason for that was because the last relationship I was in…

(Consuela takes a deep breath, before continuing.)

Consuela Rose Ava: He ended up passing away in a car accident.

(Terry looks at her emotionless, as if he’s at a loss for words.)

Terry Chambers: Wow, I’m sorry to hear about that. Were you guys close?

Consuela Rose Ava: Oliver was probably the one guy that I believed I was going to spend the rest of my life. We had been planning to adopt a child because he didn’t want me to go through pregnancy because I still had hopes that I would be signing for EAW, but he was super supportive of me and my goals to be a wrestler. He was a racecar driver, so him being behind the wheel was nothing different for him. It was something that was in his blood. He won dozens of awards and in a way, he felt invincible, like nothing in this world could take him down…

(Consuela paused as she could feel a wave of emotion going through her.)

Consuela Rose Ava: It wasn’t until a race for a charity event in March 2014 that his breaks begin to stop working and before you know it, he had crashed near a pumping station, the whole car engulfing with flames and before you know it, everyone was doing what they could to put down the fire and get him out of harm’s way, but it was too late. He was gone and I said in that hospital room, just praying to whatever god to help him. I wasn’t ready to let him go. I wasn’t ready for him to disappear from his life, but after two weeks of waiting in that hospital room, he died and I needed a nurse to get me out of the room, but I was an emotional wreck and it was a huge factor why I distanced myself from my mom and sisters. It’s why I put my focus in getting signed to EAW and seeing everyone like Camille, Candice, Cameron and you go out there and compete in these matches because I never know, if that’s going to be the last time I see any of you in your element, doing the one thing you’re passionate about. It’s why I worry about you because I don’t know what would happen if someone I loved disappeared from my life again.

(Consuela has tears in her eyes, and it causes Terry to pull her in for a hug.)

Terry Chambers: That’s completely awful to hear. I understand why you didn’t tell me this right away, because I can see the pain on your face right now. Just know that I feel a similar type of pain along with you. My father wanted to reconcile with me because he was a bad parent growing up, I just learned he passed away by a drunk driving accident. He was hit by a drunk driver. I still don’t forgive myself for brushing him off and not at least giving him a chance to be a part of my life again. My mom even wanted me to do it because of the Kobe tragedy, and we can’t hold grudges. Even though he was never there for me, it felt like he was my best friend when I found out of his passing.

Consuela Rose Ava: At least, your father made the effort of reconciling with you and it’s heartbreaking that passings can just happen to those that you don’t really expect them from, but it’s not your fault for brushing him off and not giving him any chance. You just didn’t want to get hurt again. I understand that.

Terry Chambers: And I understand that with Oliver why you never dated. I could NEVER imagine losing someone like that. Leaving the house and coming home safely is truly a blessing and something we’re not guaranteed. It just makes me wonder, why were you scared to tell me about this? I would’ve understood completely.

Consuela Rose Ava: I didn’t want you to think that I could never see anyone that lives up to Oliver’s standards. He was amazing, but I feel like he’d want to see me happy. He always managed to put my happiness before himself at times and I didn’t want you thinking that you’ll never come close, but you are such an amazing person, Terry and I love you with everything about me.

Terry Chambers: Same with me. I didn’t want you to think I wouldn’t think you were up to Trinity’s standards. It was tough for me getting out my shell because I thought I had that perfect relationship like you thought you had with Oliver. We did everything together, we had kids, we were high school sweethearts, and she supported my dreams. Until one day, she stabbed me in the back. It’s been a long time since I trusted anybody when I couldn’t even trust my own wife. That’s why I had that dislike for tag teams. I didn’t want you thinking I couldn’t get back to that feeling, but you’re getting me there in record time with your generous heart and amazing personality. It’s what I love about you.

(Consuela intertwines her hand with Terry’s, looking up with him with a smile.)

Consuela Rose Ava: We’re slowly getting there and we’re progressing after four months of dating. We must be doing something right. :wow:

(The two just look ahead to the silent street for a good minute or two before Consuela excuses herself.)

Consuela Rose Ava: I’ve been hearing a lot of yelling inside. Do you think that we should worry? :lupe:

(Carmen can be heard screaming for Consuela.)

Consuela Rose Ava: Yeah, let’s get inside.

(Consuela and Terry rise from the bench and begin to head back inside the house. Consuela steps inside, but Terry stays behind as he steps on something suspicious.)

(Out of completely nowhere, a bucket of glue falls on top of Terry. It’s followed by a bucket of brown feathers and topped off by some grey and gold sparkles. Terry looks like a complete mess as Consuela is trying to hide her laughter.)

Consuela Rose Ava: What the hell just happened???

???: FUCK! THAT WASN’T MEANT FOR YOU!!!!

(Ms. Extreme walks towards Terry, hoping that he wasn’t too angry. Landon follows her shortly after as he has busted out laughing.)

Terry Chambers: Who was this meant for?!? :wtf:

Ms. Extreme: For my other sister’s flog husband.

Landon: We believe in the element of surprise. :mjgrin:

Ms. Extreme: I am so sorry, Terry. I didn’t mean for all of this to happen.

Landon: Yeah, believe her. You weren’t supposed to turn on the trap, but at least, we know it works.

Terry Chambers: 😒

(Jamie O'Hara and a pregnant Cameron Ella Ava arrive and walks up to the house, and they take a look at Terry. Cameron holds her laughter as Jamie looks a bit confused.)

Jamie O'Hara: Nice sparkles, mate.
