OOC: This is a joint rp between Carmen and Candy. We figured this would be easier.
Carmen had received a text message from Candy, respecting their newly formed friendship, she followed the instructions and traveled to Candy and Marcus’ home. She was nervous at what she might find there and upon arriving she saw it. It was a nice house , not small like the apartment she shared with her husband. The exterior of the house was exactly what Carmen suspected. A white house with pink trimmings, pink flowers everywhere, and of course a pink car in the driveway. Max had insisted he came too, after all he could probably hang out with Marcus while the girls talked.
Max: Are you sure you want to do this? You know you don’t have to.
Carmen: I said I would, I keep my word.
Max: Alright if you are sure, I will make the most of it.
Carmen: Hey I’m sure Marcus will appreciate some guy time.
Max and Carmen laughed walking up to the door. Carmen knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. She slipped her hand into her husbands and smiled. Marcus Cage answered the door, with their 2 ½ year old baby Ruby on his hip.
Marcus: Hey guys, I was starting to think you wouldn't show up. Or find the place. Candy isn't the best with directions…
Ruby smiled at Carmen.
Ruby: I know you. You mommy's bestie Caw-men.
She couldn't QUITE get the R sound out, but she was cute regardless. Carmen smiled at her and nodded. Children were her weakness. Max noticed how she responded to the little girl and smiled too.
Carmen: No it wasn’t hard to find. She did well this time. Yes I’m Carmen. You must be Ruby..
She smiled and held out her hand. Ruby giggled and buried her head in Marcus's shoulder.
Marcus: She's acting shy. Please, come in. Candy had been in her craft room for the last hour at least. She said she was working on something extra special just for you.
Marcus stood aside as Carmen and Max came in. He closed the door behind them, and put Ruby on the floor. She immediately ran off with Fluffy and Hero, giggling and playing happily. Marcus walked up to Carmen and Max, motioning for them to go further in. As they looked around the inside of the house, it immediately became apparent that Candy was responsible for the decorating. It was clean and crisp, white and light pink. Everything was "pretty" or "girly".
Marcus: Her craft rook is right up these stairs at the end of the hall, first door on the left. Max, you are welcome to chill in the living room with me if you want.
Max: Sounds great actually. I don’t know if I could deal with any more of that glitter. I feel for you man.
He laughed and walked off with Marcus as Carmen made her way up the stairs. She got to just outside the room and took a deep breath trying to prepare herself for whatever was on the other side of the door.
Carmen: Hey it’s me.
Candy could be heard excitedly from the other side of the door
Candy: COME IN, BESTIE!!
Carmen slowly opened the door and saw the "craft" room. There was wall to wall shelving that housed multiple jars of glitter, sequins, beads, buttons, paints… any and all crafting supplies you can imagine. One wall, however, had a table against it. On the table was a sewing machine and other things. Candy looked up with a huge grin on her face.
Candy: I have been making something SUPER DUPER AWESOME for us for our tag match this week!!! LOOK!
Candy then holds up 2 shirts. Both black, shockingly. But what was on them… weeeeeell.
Candy: SEE!? THE FRONT SAYS TEAM BESTIES AND THE BACK HAS OUR NAMES! AWESOME RIGHT?
That is precisely what the shirts said. In bright pink glitter that really popped on the black shirts. Carmen choked for a second, but looked at her with a smile.
Carmen: They’re great! They look amazing. I can’t wait to wear them.
She put her hands in her pockets and nodded.
Carmen: So you said you needed to talk to me. What’s up? I mean.. I’m sure when it comes to the Hell Hounds we have nothing to worry about.
Candy: Who? OH them. Yeah I don't really know much about em, but I just couldn't wait to show you our shirts. I'm SOOOOOO excited for our tag match this week! It's going to be SUPER FUN. I mean, what chance do they have against 2 besties like us!
Candy was very pleased with Carmen's reaction to the shirts and put em back down on the table
Candy: They gotta dry before we can wear em tho.
Carmen: Well they look great. And thank you for going with black shirts..
She laughed.
Carmen: So how does it feel to be champion?
She smiled at her.
Candy: It feels good. Sorry I had to take it from you
Candy looked sad for a second then stopped
Candy: MAYBE YOU CAN GET A DIFFERENT TITLE AND WE CAN BE CHAMPIONS TOGETHER! Wouldn't that be super cool? Or maybe they will bring back the Tag Team Titles! Maybe if we can get more teams and prove that we are the bestest team!
The excitement began to bubble inside her, bursting out at the seams.
Candy: And it all starts with this tag team match against the Heck Hounds.
Carmen laughed softly at the comments.
Carmen: Candy.. How old are you? You know you can say Hell right?
She put a hand on her bestie’s shoulder.
Candy: Nooooooo that's a bad word. I can't say it. Or the D word, or the A word, or the B word. I don't say bad words. Other people can. It's ok. Saying bad words doesn't make you bad. But I don't understand why they would call themselves the… h-e-double-hockey-sticks … Hounds.
Carmen chuckled softly, shaking her head.
Carmen: Come on.. Just say hell.. and I promise to get you more craft supplies.. I saw this really pretty pink tiara too…
Candy's face turned red
Candy: I caaaaaant… but a pink tiara sounds fun…
She shakes her head.
Candy: But I cant… it's so… mean.
Carmen: No one else is here, and I won't tell anyone. I promise. I PINKY promise.
Carmen holds out her pinky, with a grin. Candy looks around and then looks down at the floor and speaks very VERY softly.
Candy: Hell…
She quickly covers her mouth, her eyes wide. Carmen smiles and looks at her. Patting her on the back she starts to speak.
Carmen: Candy!!! I’m so proud of you. You are totally a badass now.
Candy: I am, aren't I?
Candy looked almost… proud… that her new bestie was so happy with her
Candy: And that means we are totally gonna kick their butts, right?
Carmen: You are totally a badass.. But.. there’s still much work to be done. After all.. You are the collateral damage champion.. That’s a big thing. But with me in your corner. You’ll keep that for a LONG time. As for the Hell Hounds.. They are totally boned.
Candy snickered a bit
Candy: YEAH! Oh I get it! Cuz they are hounds… and dogs like bones!!
Carmen: Yeah.. totally that Candy
She laughed softly, shaking her head. Candy was so innocent, it wouldn’t be easy, but Carmen loved a challenge and a project. Working with Candy was going to be fun. VERY fun.
