HONEY'S DAD'S HOME - LAS VEGAS, NV - 2017
Franklin Smith:
"Two on One, Honey. You've got this. You've got this.”
"Two on One, Honey. You've got this. You've got this.”
FRANKLIN SMITH, Honey's dad sits upon a blanc du blanc roman couch, at the edge of his seat watching the recordin of Redemption, specifically Honey's match as the bell sounds on the television. He's currently looking like Joey from friends when he wore all his porche wear, only it's all Honey. A hat with Honey's name on it. A t-shirt with Honey on it, even the very rare Japanese Strawberry Kit Kat slippers with Honey's name on them sent as part of a care package for Honey's unadvertised advertising for their product.
Franklin Smith:
"Maybe she's not ready. Tag out, Honey. Tag out.”
"Maybe she's not ready. Tag out, Honey. Tag out.”
He begins to bite his fingers and holds his breath as Honey gets whipped off the ropes and crossbodies her opponent.
Franklin Smith:
(Overly Celebrating)
"YES! GO HONEY GO!”
(Overly Celebrating)
"YES! GO HONEY GO!”
Franklin says throwing his fist forward like any sports fan and then glares at the TV.
Franklin Smith:
"Shut your mouth, Cooper. How dare you. How downright -- Oh Honey, what are you doing…”
"Shut your mouth, Cooper. How dare you. How downright -- Oh Honey, what are you doing…”
He goes from glare to heavy nasal breathing and holds his breath. Honey on the screen performs a backstabber and Franklin stands, hands trembling as he then covers his mouth to cover the big gasp as Honey does her German Suplex and Franklin kicks the air in joy.
Franklin Smith:
"Yes! Honey Freaking Hercules. There's that Muscle Moore Mandy Moore whatever workout.”
"Yes! Honey Freaking Hercules. There's that Muscle Moore Mandy Moore whatever workout.”
Honey gets her pinfall, Franklin missing her smirk to Alechs.
Franklin Smith:
"Go on Honey! One!...Two!...Fire that DAMN OFFICIAL. How slow was that count?”
"Go on Honey! One!...Two!...Fire that DAMN OFFICIAL. How slow was that count?”
Franklin watches with pure pride and joy on his face, the disdain for the referee gone as he watches Honey drop her opponent again.
Franklin Smith:
"Get the pin Honey! -- There you go. Big win. Big Win. --- OH MY…FIRE THAT SLOW COUNTING OFFICIAL. It's THREE, HOW HARD IS IT TO COUNT ONE. TWO. THREE? THERE, I JUST DID IT.”
"Get the pin Honey! -- There you go. Big win. Big Win. --- OH MY…FIRE THAT SLOW COUNTING OFFICIAL. It's THREE, HOW HARD IS IT TO COUNT ONE. TWO. THREE? THERE, I JUST DID IT.”
Franklin watches Honey go and perform a move she did once in training and was urged never to perform again by her dad. Unfortunately for Franklin, he watches Honey go for it. Heart in his throat, watching through the slits in between his fingers, he's able to breath out as Honey lands her Banned Move and gets the pinfall. Franklin roars.
Franklin Smith:
"YEEESSS! MMM!”
"YEEESSS! MMM!”
Franklin says punching the air and table flips the coffee table in the heat of the moment.
Franklin Smith:
(Arrogantly and Sassy, Cheerleader chanting)
"Sorry Alechs, no tag for you. Why's that? Because Honey always comes through. Give me a H. Give me an O-”
(Arrogantly and Sassy, Cheerleader chanting)
"Sorry Alechs, no tag for you. Why's that? Because Honey always comes through. Give me a H. Give me an O-”
Walter (O.S.):
"Give me some silence, I'm trying to follow this e-recipe.”
"Give me some silence, I'm trying to follow this e-recipe.”
Franklin draws it back in and takes a seat on the couch and rests his head on his hand, arm on the arm rest.
Franklin Smith:
"Sorry.”
"Sorry.”
Walter (O.S.):
"Fix the coffee table.”
"Fix the coffee table.”
Franklin rolls his eyes at Walter's request, more so the fact he knew Franklin did that, clearly wasn't the first time.
LATER THAT DAY:
On his iPhone filming is FRANKLIN with himself in the garden, sitting pool side with some lemonade as he is shirtless, lean definition and a pair of tiffany blue swim shorts on.
Franklin Smith:
"Honey is in the main event. Mark your calendars because my precious Honey has finally cracked the main event. It's been a while, woo! I've waited for this ever since she was in the semi-main event against that Witch of a woman. Six months later it's finally happened.”
"Honey is in the main event. Mark your calendars because my precious Honey has finally cracked the main event. It's been a while, woo! I've waited for this ever since she was in the semi-main event against that Witch of a woman. Six months later it's finally happened.”
He now peels down the sunglasses to eyeball the camera, specifically someone.
Franklin Smith:
"Now, Adrien Cochrane. By some """coincidence""" you were """miraculously""" waiting to """overhear""" the suspension to offer yourself as Honey's partner.”
"Now, Adrien Cochrane. By some """coincidence""" you were """miraculously""" waiting to """overhear""" the suspension to offer yourself as Honey's partner.”
He says stressing the bunny ear quotes with his fingers.
Franklin Smith:
"Honey didn't touch Alechs in her match, and I expect you to do the exact same. You MAY tag in, but I expect the tags to be professional, eye contact…no wait. No eye contact during the tags, stare anywhere else. When Honey gets out of the ring, don't even try the gentlemen "holding the ropes open" routine. You just get right in and have your back to Honey getting out. Don't even look. And lastly, double team moves? Below is a list of acceptable tag team moves, not on the list? Not to be performed, capiche?”

Not to be performed, capiche?”
A hand written list covers up Franklin reading the same thing. "Any move where you don't touch Honey" is written over and over in bigger and thicker sizes with the last one being written in a sharpie.
Franklin Smith:
"But apart from that, Honey is going to Destroy the Destroyers. GERMAN! Honey will toss them around like a silverback gorilla. Karloffs, more like walk offs. RC and Blazer, listen here. Honey is not some drug fueled mule, if you two Blaze. Blaze up. Light up. Smoke some MJ. Whiff a Spliff. Rock n' Roll a Doobie. Blazer, Honey doesn't do drugs. Destroyers, I said Honey will destroy you. What else is there left to say? Honey Honey everyday. Goooo Honey.”

Destroyers, I said Honey will destroy you. What else is there left to say? Honey Honey everyday. Goooo Honey.”
Franklin says adding a bit of a cheer at the end, a clap and ends the video there.
Franklin sees Alechs' truck pull in and takes a quick sip of his lemonade before shuffling his feet into some sandals and heads on over to them. He sees Alechs' truck a little damaged with Honey getting out and shutting the door.
HONEY:
“Hi, Daddy”
“Hi, Daddy”
Honey looks very happy to see her Dad, whom wasn't happy to see Honey inside a truck or a truck that was a little damaged.
Franklin Smith:
"Honey, did you drive this truck?”
"Honey, did you drive this truck?”
HONEY:
“Nope. I don't have my license. Alechs had-”
“Nope. I don't have my license. Alechs had-”
Honey looks to Alechs and then back to her dad.
HONEY:
“I don't want to talk about it.”
“I don't want to talk about it.”
Honey says shutting her dad out, which he clearly doesn't care for as Honey starts walking towards the smaller guest house on the property, one bedroom, two stories with a big open ground floor containing both a kitchen and living room with just a bit of room to have a dining table.
Alechs Aurelio:
"I am getting it fixed, soon.”
"I am getting it fixed, soon.”
Alechs says heading inside with Honey getting her hoody off immediately because it's so hot and tosses it on the couch. Honey stretches her arms now in a white t-shirt she made herself: Play fair when you wrestle in the square
Franklin Smith:
"What is going on with you two anyway? Suspended. Truck all messed up. Honey crushing it solo in a handicap match. What is happening?”
"What is going on with you two anyway? Suspended. Truck all messed up. Honey crushing it solo in a handicap match. What is happening?”
HONEY:
“Um, I don't really know. Like, I've got to now team with someone else-”
“Um, I don't really know. Like, I've got to now team with someone else-”
Franklin Smith:
(Quickly adding in)
"I've made sure that is strictly professional.”
(Quickly adding in)
"I've made sure that is strictly professional.”
HONEY:
“And I don't really know why all this is happening. I.”
“And I don't really know why all this is happening. I.”
Honey starts to scratch at her wrist again, a rash there clear as day.
HONEY:
“I have too much going on right now.”
“I have too much going on right now.”
Alechs Aurelio:
"We do. But we'll get through it”
"We do. But we'll get through it”
Honey takes a small look at Alechs neck. Though it was clear skin, Honey could see the lovebit, the hickey that was left. Transfixed in her memory and her smile falls to a straight face slightly. The suspension now a huge worry for Honey who didn't feel comfortable leaving Alechs at home out of fear Dominica or someone equivalent would contaminate her home with awful memories that Dominica was contaminating Honey's memory.
Franklin Smith:
"WE will. Don't forget me and Walter are up there and we're happy to help. I do know this mechanic who will get that truck all fixed no problem.”
"WE will. Don't forget me and Walter are up there and we're happy to help. I do know this mechanic who will get that truck all fixed no problem.”
Alechs Aurelio:
"That would be great. Thank you.”
"That would be great. Thank you.”
HONEY:
“Daddy. I think we're ok. You can go and, like, surprise Walter with a nice meal and stuff. It's his 'workaversary'.”
“Daddy. I think we're ok. You can go and, like, surprise Walter with a nice meal and stuff. It's his 'workaversary'.”
Honey says referencing Walter's three years with his firm.
Franklin Smith:
(Speaking into his facepalm)
"Oh how could I forget?”
(Speaking into his facepalm)
"Oh how could I forget?”
Honey heads over to their walk in kitchen and takes out of the fridge a lasagne she made.
HONEY:
“Here. Walter loves Lasagne.”
“Here. Walter loves Lasagne.”
Franklin Smith:
"That he does. He's too much like that Garfield.”
"That he does. He's too much like that Garfield.”
Franklin says taking the ceramic bowl Honey had made. Alechs does look quite down, clearly having his eye on Honey's lasagne and planned to help himself to a bowl of it.
Franklin Smith:
"What about you two?”
"What about you two?”
HONEY:
“Me and Alechs are going out, my treat.”
“Me and Alechs are going out, my treat.”
Alechs looks a little surprised as he hadn't planned on it and Franklin is already on his backfoot disapproving on their mode of transport.
Franklin Smith:
"Not in that Destruction Derby vehicle out there.”
"Not in that Destruction Derby vehicle out there.”
Honey furrows her brow.
HONEY:
“Can Alechs drive your car.”
“Can Alechs drive your car.”
Franklin is almost about to say "no" when Honey catches his eyes, he looks away to the lasagne she prepared to save his skin and has a visual inner battle of morals but gives Alechs a nod.
Franklin Smith:
"Ok. Yes.”
"Ok. Yes.”
HONEY:
“THANK YOU!”
“THANK YOU!”
Honey says excited but Franklin raises his hand with his index finger extended.
Franklin Smith:
"Bup Bup Bup. There are some big rules. No drinking, no smoking, no eating in the car. You come home by eleven. Keys are dropped off to the house and lastly, Alechs, you don't crash it like that truck.”
"Bup Bup Bup. There are some big rules. No drinking, no smoking, no eating in the car. You come home by eleven. Keys are dropped off to the house and lastly, Alechs, you don't crash it like that truck.”
Alechs Aurelio:
"I won't crash, sir. That was a big mistake.”
"I won't crash, sir. That was a big mistake.”
He says looking to Honey with a bigger underlying meaning. Franklin looks at Alechs, narrowing his eyes as he thinks he has the meaning.
Alechs Aurelio:
"And I appreciate it, we kinda do need a night out together. Enjoy the lasagne.”
"And I appreciate it, we kinda do need a night out together. Enjoy the lasagne.”
Franklin Smith:
"We will.”
"We will.”
Franklin says waving the lasagne at Honey who can't help but smile at her dad's point towards her and knows how grateful he is of her cookery ability. Honey waves bye to her dad before running up to give him a hug and closes the door to their house.
Alechs Aurelio:
"So where are you taking me?”
"So where are you taking me?”
HONEY:
“That's a surprise. Like, I think I want to go to get a gourmet burger. You have to try it, Cousin Trixie told me it is her, like, cheat day restaurant. And since I won the match, I get to treat you. Those are the rules.”
“That's a surprise. Like, I think I want to go to get a gourmet burger. You have to try it, Cousin Trixie told me it is her, like, cheat day restaurant. And since I won the match, I get to treat you. Those are the rules.”
Honey says taking a bit of charge and walks a little bit forward, to the slightly sunken couch and turns on the television to see what's on. Alechs decides to take a seat next to her.
THAT EVENING:
Honey stands dressed with a white headband on. A white tank top on with a rather thin cardigan on as well as a pair of very blue denim jeans and a pair of pencil heel, suede, peep-toe boots she borrowed from her cousin Trixie for a night out. Touching up her vibrant, tailor to tease shade of MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolorlipstick she borrowed from Trixie and put a few wads of bills she folded and stuffed into her purse that she puts into her Clutch before knocking back her hair and getting ready to talk about the match quickly before going out.
HONEY:
“Um. Ok. So, Alechs is not going to be working with me this time. And, like..Coda is my opponent. So is Kayla. So is RC Tucker and Jew Blazer, John Blade and Alicia. Xaria and Martin too.
Two, Honey and Adrien…I'm going to try my hardest to work with Adrien Coach-chain and, like, try to win this tag team match for all the Young Cubbies who make me smile when we get to go out there and, like, be a super team.
Super team, like Adrien and Super Stacy, who deputised me as Happy Honey, like, her sidekick I think…I don't know if I can be as good as Stacy but I will try. The AFI was, like, short lived for me, I don't know if the referee knows Blair used, like a weapon…..But Kayla and Coda are still in it. Coda is, like, the Young Lion's Champion and Kayla has, like, a shot at the Heavyweight title.
Title, like, the tag team title shot is kinda what we're fighting for, but the Destroyers are going to be so tough to face. I've never beat Coda one on one and I've never ever ever faced Kayla. If we do have to face them, like, since it's one after another, it's going to be super tough.
Toughness is what it's going to take to survive this big match up. I remember RC Tucker actually won a big match like this at Zero Hour and I bet he's going to be able to do that too, so he's, like a toughie too. Jew Blazer is funny, but he's been a tag team champion so, um, they're kind of like a really good random team together.
Together. The Karloffs are, like, a strong couple because of their chemistry together and stuff. They're probably going to show that lots and lots. And then John Blade and Alicia are, like, a duo that is just waiting to win a big opportunity like this.
This is going to really be a hard match. And last time I was in one of these, me and Alechs lost in our first match. We didn't get any further and so now could have been our second chance but he'll be at home. I wish he was there. I don't know how I'll even work with Adrien but…I will try. I will try to really find my jam and, like, show Alechs that I can be a strong woman who fights destroyers and Karloffs and Hixx Blades and former champions and try to be tag team champions again.
Again, it won't be really easy, it is looking like it won't even be possible if we enter first, but where there's a will, there's money as Walter says. I like to think of this motto. Together Everybody Accomplishes More. TEAM. Together me and Adrien can accomplish the impossible…I think.”

Honey then heads off to grab her phone and stop filming so she could head downstairs, ready for her evening out.
