“Nothing Makes Sense Anymore”
Date: April 24, 2018
Christy and Ally are in their San Diego home that they share with Julianna DiMaria and they are standing outside of her bedroom, right by the door. They are both equally concerned about Julianna as they wait for her to come out.
Christy: She’s taking this thing REALLY hard!
Ally: I know! It’s not her fault that her team lost at Lest We Forget in the final match.
Christy: NO! I wasn’t talking about THAT! I’m talking about the whole Jimmy Catfish thing!
Ally: Is that what we’re calling him now?
Julianna (from inside): I CAN HEAR BOTH OF YOU!!!!
Christy and Ally cringe for a bit.
Julianna (from inside): What the FUCK do you both want?
Ally: Julianna… if we may… we get it! You were in love with someone that was something that clearly wasn’t as advertised. But that’s life… and that’s men… if we’re being completely honest. But still… FUCK HIM!!!
Julianna (from inside): I REGRET DOING THAT!!!!
Christy: Look Julianna… we get that you’re hurt. But, if there’s anything we can do to get your mind off of this…
Julianna (from inside): NOPE!!!! NOT ONE BIT!
Ally: We’re filming a “Let’s Play” for YouTube… um… Super Smash Brothers Melee for GameCube….
Christy: Yeah! If you wanted to play with us…
Julianna (from inside): GameCube? Did you say…. GAMECUBE?
Ally: Yes….
Both young ladies cringe with nervousness as they can hear Julianna get up from her bed and approach the door. They split aside as Julianna opens the door.
Julianna: You both come to me wanting to play GAMECUBE? REALLY?
Ally and Christy back away.
Julianna: ...I always wanted to play GameCube…
They both take a sigh of relief.
Ally: You mean you never have?
Christy: Um… DUH! Her parents didn’t let her have a childhood, remember?
Julianna: Whatever. Just… show me how to play… what was it called… Super Smash Brothers Melee?
Christy: Best. Game. EVER!
Ally: Let’s go!
Julianna sighs as she follows Christy and Ally down the hallway. They reach the living room and they sit down in front of the couch where a GameCube with two controllers are hooked up.
Ally: The camera is rolling already, right Christy?
Christy: Yep! We can just edit out some of this stuff, but… yeah…
Julianna: So… how do you play this?
Ally: It’s EASY… just be very patient…
Half an hour later…
Julianna and Christy are button mashing their GameCube controllers into oblivion as they play a round of Super Smash Bros.
Julianna: Take THAT…. AND THAT… AND THAT!!!!!! That’s right you stupid puffy pink of shit Jigglypuff! EXPLODE OFF THE SCREEN!!!! Eat Pikachu’s Thunder…. BITCH!!!! You’re ELIMINATED!!!
Ally: Oh lord… it’s just a computer player…
Julianna: Well… I am DOMINAT…. HEY!!!!!
Christy: Kirby just ate your Pikachu…
Julianna: No….. no….. NOOOOOO!!!!!
Christy: I win!!!!
Julianna: You CHEATED!
Ally: It’s part of the game Julianna!
Julianna: Why the FUCK did this game give Kirby the power to swallow up opponents and spit them out? That’s like… game rigging!
Christy: Ally, your turn. Sorry Julianna
Julianna: Whatever. Just pick your character, Ally!
Ally: I already did!
Julianna: Princess Peach? Seriously? UGH! Whatever… fucking prissy piece of shit…
Christy: FALCON PUNCH…
Julianna: Captain Falcon is a pussy.
Suddenly, their gaming is interrupted with a knock on the door.
Julianna: I’ll get it….
Julianna rolls her eyes as Christy and Ally play their round. She walks toward the front door and opens it, and her eyes widen with surprise at the sight of the person at the door.
Julianna: ...what the…
Christy: Who is it?
Julianna: Dad, what are you doing here?
Mr. DiMaria: I just want to talk…
Ally: Julianna, are you okay?
Julianna: Yeah… it’s good…
Julianna steps outside and shuts the door behind her. Considering what happened the last time she spoke to her father, she’s extremely tense at the moment.
Mr. DiMaria: So… I heard about that nimrod you’re dating…
Julianna: Dad, please? I don’t want to talk about that right now. In fact, I don’t want to talk to you at all. The last time I saw you, you and my mother were arguing and you bolted from me thinking that I was ditching wrestling for university. If you had just stayed for one more minute, you would have heard me say that I was doing wrestling and school at the same time. You completely overreacted and it made me so upset!
Mr. DiMaria sighs, as he obviously has realized by this point that Julianna continued to wrestle.
Mr. DiMaria: Jules, listen. I’m sorry about that. I didn’t mean to go off on ya. At that moment, I felt like I was betrayed, that after all the hard work I put into your career, you were throwin’ it all away. You’re right. I overreacted and I shoulda let ya finish what you were sayin’. But, I don’t want you to hate me. I was already upset because your mother was being completely unreasonable with me. She’s goin’ completely soft on ya and that’s not the way she was raisin’ ya before.
Julianna: Dad, I don’t want to hear it. All I needed to hear was an apology for blowing me off the way you did. Whatever happened between you and my mom… I get it. Fights happen. But, I’m not getting involved in that.
Mr. DiMaria: Has your mother talked to you about this at all?
Julianna: No…
Mr. DiMaria: Figures. Fucking cunt…
Julianna: DAD!!!!
Mr. DiMaria: Sorry Jules, it’s just… FUCK… your mother’s driven me NUTS since you got promoted to NGW.
Julianna: What are you saying? That it wasn’t just one fight? That there’s MORE to it?
Mr. DiMaria: I’m gonna give it to ya straight, Jules. Your mother and I are on the rocks. It hasn’t gotten any better. We’re getting along worse than before and to be honest, it’s always been this way for the last 25 years. For you, we stuck it out. But now that you’re goin’ out and doin’ everything all on your own, with NGW, with school in the fall semester and all of that, the glue that was keepin’ us together is no longer there. We can’t live with each other anymore, Jules. Things are fallin’ apart.
Julianna’s eyes widen with worry as she realizes that her parents’ situation is far worse than just one petty fight that happened a month ago.
Julianna: So… maybe if I moved back in with you guys, things will be better?
Mr. DiMaria: Nah… you don’t need to do that. You’re going to be holding yourself back if you do. But, I just wanted to tell ya I’m sorry and that I got no issues with you. You’re my daughter and I love you and want the best for you, that’s not changin’, ever! Alright?
Julianna doesn’t react right away.
Mr. DiMaria: My issues with your mother don’t make a damn difference on what happens between you and me, got that?
Julianna nods with understanding.
Julianna: Yeah…
Mr. DiMaria: Good! Now, I’m gonna leave ya alone but… before I do that… mind if I use your bathroom for a minute?
Julianna: It’s all good, dad.
Julianna opens the door and steps back inside with her father walking in the house.
Mr. DiMaria: It’ll only be a minute.
Julianna nods as she shuts the door. Next, she walks back to the couch where she witnesses Princess Peach BASEBALL BAT Captain Falcon into oblivion, resulting in Ally winning the game!
Ally: Falcon… PUNCHED!
Christy: Shut up, Ally!
Julianna: My turn…
Christy: Oh… hey Julianna. Everything okay with your Dad?
Julianna: We’re okay...he and my mom though… probably shouldn’t talk about it.
Ally: Well… let’s play another round and let’s just get your mind off of it. Why’d he walk in for?
Julianna: To use the bathroom.
Christy: Oh…
Julianna sits down between Christy and Ally.
Ally: Alright, Bowser’s the name, torching you to death is the game! What’s yours, Julianna?
Julianna: Uh… hmm… eh… Zelda for right now…
Once the computer characters are chosen, the next round, and the button mashing… begins!
Julianna: WHOA! I didn’t know Zelda could transform…
Ally: It’s nice… but I think her transformation is ugly personally…
Julianna: HEY!!!! You’re ABUSING your flamethrower there!
Christy: Oh take it like a woman, Julianna!
Mr. DiMaria: What the fuck is this?
Christy looks over, seeing Mr. DiMaria towering above the three.
Julianna: Not now, Dad!
Mr. DiMaria: You’re…. You’re playing VIDEO GAMES???
Julianna: It’s just something fun, okay?
Mr. DiMaria: Pause that shit....
Ally: Julianna, you don’t… JULIANNA!
Julianna paused the game before standing up to meet her father in the eye.
Julianna: Dad, we’re just unwinding, okay? It’s not a big deal.
Mr. DiMaria: It IS a big deal! You have all the time in the world to train harder and be even better in NGW and instead you’re wasting your time playing VIDEO GAMES?
Julianna: I do what I want with my life, okay? GOSH! Don’t get bent out of shape! You’re starting to sound just like you did when you were arguing with my mother.
Mr. DiMaria: Who enabled you to play this shit, Julianna? Your mother?
Julianna: What? NO! Dad… wait… where the hell are you going?
The three young women watch her father walk up to the GameCube set up and unplug the console from the TV.
Christy: HEY!!!!
Ally: We’re filming a Let’s Play for YouTube!
Mr. DiMaria: I don’t care, my daughter needs to be taught a lesson!
Julianna: WHAT?
Julianna is confused as he removes the controllers from the GameCube.
Mr. DiMaria: Focus on your career, Julianna!!! Not this crap!!!
Julianna: Give that back, dad!
She walks up to her father trying to snag the GameCube from him, but she pushes her down causing her to land on the opposite couch unharmed as he walks to a support beam of the house.
Julianna: Dad, what are you doing?
Mr. DiMaria: This is for your own good….
Suddenly, he SMASHES the GameCube into the beam.
Christy & Ally: HEY!!!! That’s OURS!!!
Those pleas fall on deaf ears as he repeatedly smashes the console against the pillar before he throws it down on the floor shattering the GameCube upon impact!
Julianna: ARE YOU FUCKING MENTAL?!??!?!?!
Mr. DiMaria: You’ll learn your lesson, won’t you? When you’re a wrestler, wrestling is ALL that matters! That was for your own benefit! NO MORE DISTRACTIONS!
He begins to walk out of the house.
Julianna: You can’t DO THAT! You can’t just break someone else’s property in THEIR house! Dad… talk to me!!!!
Mr. DiMaria opens the door.
Julianna: That shit can’t fly!!!!
Mr. DiMaria: It flew!
He steps out of the house and slams the door shut, leaving Julianna in shock.
Christy: Wow….
Ally: And the camera captured the WHOLE THING!
Christy: Forget about that...
The two stand up from the couch and walk to stand above the shattered GameCube. Julianna walks toward both of them with tears in her eyes.
Julianna: Girls, I’m so sorry… I didn’t… I…
Ally: He’s NEVER coming into this house again!
Julianna: ...nothing makes sense anymore…
Christy: I know…
Julianna: I’ll buy you guys a new one…
Ally: They don’t sell them anymore, Julianna…
Julianna: UGH!!! I’ll… I’ll be back… I need to call my mom and tell her what happened!
Julianna is quick to rush down the hallway and bolt back into her room to make the phone call.
Christy: Do you think her parents are going to get a divorce?
Ally: Christy!!!
Christy: Sorry…
The pair continue to observe the shattered GameCube, trying to make sense of what just happened.
