A friendly invitation

[Angel]

**the camera fades into the hallway where we see Triple C walking down the hall...Angel then comes around the corner trying to catch up with Triple C...**

Angel: Trips! Trips! Wait a second!

**Triple C stops then shakes his head...he then turns around to face Angel**

Triple C: What?

Angel: Listen, I know for some odd reason you don't like The Remnant. But if you would just give them a chance, you would see that they're all really really nice people. I didn't think I could end up trusting people so soon...But, I do trust them...I trust them all.

Triple C: whatever Angel, but I'm tired of talking to you now. I'm tired of talking to you period. I've gotta go work on some bikes..

**Angel grabs Trips arm...**

Angel: Wait just one more second..

**Angel hands Trips an envelope**

Triple C: Whats this?

Angel: Its an invitation to my Thanksgiving dinner tonight. The Remnant will be there, and we would all like it if you came. *smiles*

**Triple C rips up the envelope**

[TRIPLE C]

Triple C stares at the invitation on the floor, then he glares back up at Angel.

TC- I would come.. if it was only you. The reason I dont like them is because they are keeping you away from me... Angel, damnit... a part of me wants to grab you and hug you... But I cant. You are with them! Angel, my son asks me all the time "What happend to that girl, I liked her?" I dont know what to tell him... so, here is your chance.. he is with me for the Holidays. JOHNNY..COME HERE!

A small kid comes out from a locker room with brown hair and a winter coat on. He walks up to his dad, Triple C and then he sees Angel! His eyes light up and he runs toward her, but Triple C grabs him by the hood of his jacket and pulls him back. He smiles at his son and then glares back up at Angel.

TC- So, go ahead Angel.. tell him! Tell Him!

OOC:only angel reply

[Angel]

**Angel looks down at the smiling little boy...what could only be described as a happy glow spreads across Angel's face...she then bends down opens her arms...Triple C looks at his son and then reluctantly lets go of the hood..the little boy then runs into Angel's arms...**

Angel: Oh Johnny, I missed you so much! How are you?! *smiles*

Johnny: Fine! Where have you been?

**Johnny wraps his tiny arms around Angel**

Angel: well, sweetheart, I've had to go away for a while.

**Johnny looks at Angel sadly first, then his eyes light up again**

Johnny: But..But...your back now right?

**Johnny looks up at Triple C**

Johnny: But, she's back now....right daddy?

**Triple C sighs then looks down at Angel glaring**

Angel: Uh...Johnny sweetheart...

Johnny: Oh now that you're back..we can go everywhere like we use too!

**Angel sighs then smiles**

Angel: Sure honey, I'll take you anywhere...

**A huge grin spreads across Johnny's face...Triple C puts his hand on Johnny's shoulder**

Triple C: go back in the dressing room and play o.k son?

**Johnny nods and gives one more smile to Angel before heading back to the room...Angel looks at Triple C sadly**

OOC: Trips finish END OOC

[TRIPLE C]

Triple C looks at Angel's eyes, who are tearing up.

TC- See how much we have missed you? I just dont understand why everytime you and I get together, someone has to get in the middle of it. First it was the New Bloods, then that rat bastard franchise, now the Remnant. I just dont understand... I can never talk to you enough to show you how I feel, thats why Ill have to FIGHT against the people that you decide to associate yourself with, to show you your mistakes.

Triple C puts his hands on Angel's shoulders.

TC- But damnit.. Sometimes the more I fight, the more pointless it seems... sometimes I feel as if you and I will never get back together. So let me ask you.. what will it take? Just go ahead and tell me right now, why do you always leave me?

OOC: angel, reply

[Angel]

**Angel shakes her head and backs away from Triple C**

Angel: Why did I leave you? I left you for the Franchise because you left DNP. You left us to become high and mighty in that office of yours! to become commish! Yes I know that I was suppose to be by your side when we were together, but things changed then. I know that you changed back to yourself. And I know my mistakes. But tell me something Triple C, were you thinking about me when you were having sex with everyone in the back while I was away? oh yes, I know what you said...what was you doing again? trying to bang a chick in the copy room I believe...You're not the only one Triple C! You're not the only one who was hurt! As far as The Remnant goes, they are GREAT people. They are not bad! NOT EVERYONE IS BAD!

**Angel rubs her head**

Angel: I can't deal with this anymore...have a Happy Thanksgiving Triple C...and give Johnny another hug for me..

**Angel starts walking away**

[TRIPLE C]

Triple C quickly grabs Angel's arm and turns her around.

TC- DNP WAS JUST A BUNCH OF BULLsh#t!!! JUST BECAUSE I LEFT SOME STUPID ASS STABLE DIDNT MEAN YOU HAD TO ABANDONE ME!!! What would YOU do if YOU had the offer on not having to do anything, for twice the money?! YOU WOULD HAVE DONE IT TOO! But that wasnt the reason I left, I wanted a better future for you and my son... I wanted more money.. so YOU could have more. I was planning on marrying you, but that was all shot to hell wasnt it?! Yes, I do admit to f*cking on a few chicks while you were gone, but they meant nothing! You were always on my mind... I loved you and you smashed that to peices! No, as far as the Remnant goes... this was just going to be for you... what I was going to do, but now.. this is MORE than personal. They are all GOOD AS DEAD! You want to know something?

Triple C reaches into his pocket and pulls out a diamond ring, with about 10 carats of diamonds.

TC- THIS... was supposed to be YOUR engagement ring. I have carried this in my pocket ever since the night when I was going to give it to you, but you never showed up because YOU were with that god damned franchise. So you know what? Take this f*cking thing...

Triple C throws the ring in the floor.

TC- You meant so much to me.. and you threw that away. There you go.. there it is! Happy F*cking Holidays!

Triple C storms off toward his room...

OOC: angel, continue if needed.

[Matt Hawthorne]

OOC: I love this storyline keep it up guys.

["The Outsider" Bill Yankowy]

OOC: This is awesome.

[Brett Angel]

The atmosphere is broken by the sound of someone doing a guitar riff vocally. Triple C stops and turns to see Brett Angel step around the corner. Brett looks up and sees Angel with her back to him, who is staring at Triple C. He walks towards her, looks at Triple C and can see the fury in his eyes.

“Sorry Angel. Am I interrupting something?”

Angel who appeared to be a temporary daze turns to Brett.

“Well…”

She twists her head looking back at Triple C and lets out a sigh.

“No Brett it doesn’t look like it.”

Angel walks towards Brett and as she does he sees a small box on the floor where she was just stood.

“Hey Angel did you drop something?”

Brett bends down to pick it up as Angel sees Triple C approaching.

“Wait Brett…no…don’t!”

Brett stands to see a fuming Triple C heading for him but Triple C stops in his tracks as the box is opened. The lights catch the diamonds making it shine brightly.

“WOW. What a beautiful ring!”

Brett looks at Angel, who looks at Triple C. He follows her eyes and looks at Triple C who is staring at him.

“So I did interrupt something. I didn’t realise your feelings for Angel were this strong. Sor…”

Just as Brett was going to apologise for being in the way of their potential relationship a small, soft voice is heard.

“Daddy? Daddy? Are you coming?”

With no reply from Triple C, a boy puts his head around the frame of the door. Brett swiftly closes the box and puts it behind his back. Angel puts her arm behind and takes the ring placing it in her pocket.

“Daddy?”

“What son?”

The boy pauses as he looks at Brett.

“Is that…um…um…Brett Angel of the Remnant?”

A sickened look appears on Triple C’s face as Johnny runs to Brett, who crouches down to meet the little guy.

“So what’s your name little man?”

Star-struck the boy says.

“Joh…Joh…Johnny!”

“Nice to meet you Johnny. You a fan?”

“Yeah… Mummy loves you guys too.”

“Thanks. Would you like an Autograph and one for your Mum?”

“Yeah!”

A big smile appears on his face. Brett pats down his pockets.

“I don’t have any paper or a pen.”

A EWA employee walks by and is stopped by Brett.

“Hey man do you have a spare piece of paper on that clipboard I can use please?”

“Sure Brett.”

“Thanks. And a pen?”

The employee hands him an pen too and heads off. Brett leans on the wall to sign the Autograph.

“Here you go Johnny!”

“Thanks Brett. Look Daddy I got Brett’s auto…”

“Autograph. Yeah that’s great son.” (sarcastic tone)

Angel bends down hugging Johnny as Triple C tells him to go to the dressing room again. Triple C walks closely behind him as they walk to his Locker Room. Johnny turns before entering.

“Brett go luck in your next match whoever it is against. I know you can win!”

Brett smiles.

“Thanks Johnny take care.”

They disappear into the room leaving Brett and Angel in the corridor. Brett looks at Angel who is moving her hand over the pocket where the ring is.

“Come on Angel lets go get something to eat all the extra training you have me doing is making me hungry.”

Angel lifts her head.

“What? Oh yeah sure.”

She smiles at Brett and they walk off. The camera fades out.
