21st birthday party with positive vibes.
(Back fresh from vacation they took from the Caribbean and Colorado for a getaway and a skiing trip that they always do every year just to relax and take their minds off of stuff. We see the girls at Madison’s house, sure it’s not as big and filled with luxury stuff as her siblings’ place but it’s a roof over her head and it’s something to get her by for now until she upgrades to a house that she wants and with how expensive stuff is in or around LA, that’s a task upon itself. At the pool in the backyard, we see a large gathering of people and we also see a person wearing a chicken outfit and a duck outfit. We also see a 21st birthday balloon too.)
Jenn: You didn’t think we’d forget your birthday, did you?
Madison: No way! But after the stuff, we been through as of late….
Jenn: We need to put that in the past, it’s over now. We need to start looking towards the future, it’s you and I now. Kinda how it would have always been if your dad didn’t get in the way, but he’s out of the picture now.
(For the first time in a while a warm smile came across the smile of Madison as well as a nod of the head. Jenn would never say it but she’s proud of her sister, and she’s proud of how she’s handled all of the stress that’s been going on as of late.)
Jenn: You know, I remember when you showed up and told me you were my sister. You were shy about it, and you didn’t know how to approach me. Now fast forward to 3 years later, you’re confident, you’re a strong independent woman, and you don’t take shit from anybody. It’s been an amazing journey to watch, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
Madison: I can’t wait to see either. I was only nervous because I wasn’t sure how you’d react to the news you know? Some strange girl knocking on your door, and throwing that news in your face. I would have been angry or slammed the door if I’m honest about it, but you didn’t. It took you a while to come around but we’ve made it work. Now that I get to spend my 21st with you? It makes it better.
Jenn: We coulda spend it in Vegas but I’m not really up for that drive right now.
Madison: Honestly? Not every 21st birthday party HAS to be in vegas. I’m happy with what I have, I have my family, I have my friends and we’re gonna have a pool party in a few minutes.
(Jenn smiles looking around at the place, they’re waiting for the sun to completely go down before the party starts. Which comes quickly during this time of year. But everyone is talking to each other and they’re having fun regardless of waiting.)
Jenn: You have a point. Anyway, do you have a match coming up?
Madison: Yeah, but it’s against that Puppies girl that you used to talk about in your stories.
(Jenn nods her head)
Madison: Honestly? I’m not worried about her. I don’t care how many “funny” moments she had either, most of the stories you told me were either a call for help or just her acting stupid and people laughing at her. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t know the difference anyway. Sure, she’s a former CD champion and she’s won women’s championships too but what has she done currently?
(Jenn shrugs her shoulders again, she can’t think of anything either.)
Madison: That’s the point, she’s done nothing. Yet, she walks around here with the gimmick she had a decade ago in hopes that someone would laugh along with her old boring jokes and antics. If anybody else did that, they would be mocked on Twitter for the lack of creativity. But I think that’s what makes her….her. She’s at the bottom of the food chain and nobody sees her as a threat and she can pick up upset wins here and there. But I’m not falling for that nonsense, I’m coming into this prepared, and I’m going to counter any of those stupid things she wants to do, I’m not in a playful mood. I’m coming into this match for a fight and I’m going to force her into one, and if she doesn’t…then that’s on her.
(Madison looks at her sister for a second before she spoke up again.)
Madison: This family has beaten her countless times over the years across different promotions and now it’s my turn. It’s my turn to kick her back into the little rat-infested hole she came from and keep her there. If you don’t get it by now, I’m not in a very playful mood right now and I should be, but I have this pent-up aggression that I need to get out and Puppies is the person for it. Sorry, not sorry.
(The scene comes to a close with the birthday party starting to ramp up with activity, and now that the sun is fully gone it’s just going to get more fun from here on out.)
