~Day 4~
{ Nick Danger has arrived back at the old house on Wolf Creek Drive, but James Gilmore is nowhere to be seen. As he approaches the front doorway, he spots several cans of bright yellow paint on the ground -- along with a note that reads something like this... }
***
"THE PENDULUM OF PAINT"
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give this house a splash of bright, yellow sunshine!!!
No elevators needed -- don't go up and down!
Side by side is the way to go! Left, right, left, right...like a pendulum or something like that! lol
CAUTION: This message will not self-destruct! -JJ
***
Nick Danger: I am getting sick and tried of this bullshit!!
{ Nick Danger grabs the paint and going left,right, left, right..going side to side like a pendulum. Making sure the paint is on the house. Around a half-hour later, James returns in a black and chrome 2021 Ford F-150 Limited Edition hybrid. He steps out of the driver's seat, carrying several boxes of donuts from a Krispy Kreme store. }
James Gilmore: Sorry I was late -- got stuck in traffic goin' down Great Southwest Parkway...
{ JJ notices a spot of gray on the front side of the house. }
James Gilmore: Ruh-roh...ya missed a spot.
{ Nick paints the missing spot with anger. }
Nick Danger :James we need to talk about this training method.
James Gilmore: I can already tell you're frustrated...
Nick Danger: All I have been doing is your fucking chores!! I been sweating bullets painting a house, waxing your cars, and mopping your FUCKING HOUSE FOR THE PAST FOUR GOD DAMN DAYS.
{ Nick paused, James being as calm as he can be despite being berated. }
Nick Danger: NIGHT OF THE IMMORTALS IS AROUND THE FUCKING CORNER I'LL BE DAMN IF TO KEEP DOING YOUR CHORES IN THIS PLACE. YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT JAMES GILMORE. I don't need you or your wife to train me. I'll be better off training with Nate then your old ass.
{ Nick Danger walks off with a very angry look on his face -- only to be driven down into the front lawn grass with a hard shoulder tackle! Mounting him is Caroline Machado, who has jumped out of the back seat of the F-150...along with Fiona McFly, who sports a seriously pissed-off expression on her face. }
Caroline Machado: Do not give up -- you will become grumpy!!
{ Fiona, overseeing the action, motions for Caroline to get off the mount. She then stares daggers at Nick Danger, who's left completely baffled on the ground. }
Fiona McFly: Get up!
{ Fiona's sharp tone prompts Nick to get up off the grass. Fiona doesn't take an eye off of him, not even for a second, before delivering instructions. }
Fiona McFly: A'right...show me Ellie's Elevator.
{ Nick Danger tries to lifted his right arm he struggles to lift it up to his chest. }
Nick Danger:I can't lift my arm up. I've been painting the house nonstop today.
{ Fiona took a deep breath, nodding at Caroline. Suddenly, the Brazilian uses her steady hands to gently massage both of Nick Danger's arms. She closes her eyes while performing the task; she then stops, pats Nick on the left shoulder, and stands back. }
Fiona McFly: Now...show me Ellie's Elevator.
{ Nick Danger lifts both his arms in the sky. }
Nick Danger: How did she do that? My arms feels one hundred percent better--.
Fiona McFly: (screams) SHOW!!!
{ Fiona's sharp delivery silences Nick on the spot. Suddenly, Caroline throws a high punch -- and Nick instinctively raises his left hand up and blocked it! }
Fiona McFly: Elbow is locked, arm is rigid. Focus, commitment, passion -- look Caroline in the eyes and pretend she's Almir!
{ Caroline throws a low right punch...and Nick lowers his left arm to block it. Caroline throws a left hand, high and low, and Nick blocks the punches with his right arm. }
Fiona McFly: Show me...Turtle Wax! Wax on, wax off...
{ Caroline throws a left hand and Nick does a left windmill block and she trie to do it with her right hand and does right windmill block. Fiona watches cautiously, her eyes fixated on the action. }
Fiona McFly: Show me the Priceless Painting -- side-by-side!
{ Caroline goes for a left punch at Nick head and Danger blocks it with his left hand and she goes for a punch again at right hand and block it again. Fiona's eyes light up, for she realises that Nick's understanding what the chores actually meant. But she still notices one maneuver missing... }
Fiona McFly: SWEEPER!!!
{ James and Fiona both watch as Nick and Caroline engage in a frantic sparring session, each applying the defencive moves and blocks as they go back and forth. When Caroline goes for a wild haymaker, Nick lunges forward and drives his shoulder into the Brazilian's chest, completing the Sweeper move -- an MMA-style takedown! Nick has Caroline in the mounted position. Fiona chimes in, watching as Nick pulls Caroline back up to her feet. }
Fiona McFly: Good.
{ Caroline and Nick sit down on the grass to take a break; Fiona sits down next to Nick and gently places an arm around him, showing a softer side to her stern demeanour. }
Fiona McFly: Frustration is understandable -- believe me, I know that feeling very well. But now you understand...wrestling lives in everything we do. It lives in how we clean a floor, how we wash a car or do painting. It lives in...how we interact with people, how we TREAT others. Everything...is wrestling.
{ Fiona paused. }
Fiona McFly: I can be very harsh, often brutal at times, and you have every right to think of me that way. I'm harsh 'cos you're a part of something very special, a journey that can be very cruel -- yet the rewards are so worth the price way pay. I...I don't want you to give up on me, JJ, or Caroline, but most importantly...I don't want you to give up on yourself. 'Cos we'll never, ever give up on you...
{ The ex-Women's World Champion took a deep breath, ekeing out a smile at Caroline -- wanting her to hear those words as well. }
Fiona McFly: You understand me...?
Nick Danger: I understand all the chores was my training. To be honest as a kid I thought wrestling was an art. But, now I see wrestling as part of my life.
{ Nick stands up a walks to James Gilmore. }
Nick Danger: I am so sorry for getting angry at you. I will never give up on myself or you, McFly, or Caroline. I would be happy to train under you guys if you can forgive my actions.
{ JJ gave the thumbs up. }
James Gilmore: Hey bub, you're good. Like the Crazy Bear would often say--
Caroline Machado: If you put good into the world, no matter what you do, good will come to you.
{ Fiona stood up, patting JJ on the shoulder as they all went inside the old house to enjoy donuts. }
Fiona McFly: I'll tell you about this house sometime, I promise you...
