On a Hot Summer's Night

Shorty finally got himself out of bed and spent some time with Brooks.

He wanted to go fishing and the family is always in need of extra cash so I thought I'd send him to catch some dinner!

OMG...facepalm...is that a random FLOATING fish I managed to never see when I was play testing St Bernie before release!?! Yes...yes it is.

I heard chatting while Shorty was fishing so I zoomed out to discover a whole gaggle of tourists chilling out on the empty lot just behind him! Some Day, I plan to put in a resort! I'm thinking either this lot or the small island in the background, but I can't decide so it hasn't happened yet.

I couldn't find Brooks when I got back to the house. He may have been too hot to complete his walk with Jasmine and Ephraim, but he had no trouble running all the way across the main isle to the Ferry Terminal! Mooching treats and belly rubs from Lawerence Lum of course, LOL!

Just spending pretty much the last of their money on some overdue bills.

Bahahahaha! I checked back in with Shorty just exactly when he was falling down from a wild fish on the line! At least he got a good meal and a couple of fishing skills out if it!

It's going to be another lonely night for Jasmine. Shorty recieved another party invitation so after a quick shower he was off to the Malloy house across the street.

Hang on! SHORTY is behaving inappropriately!? Because he was rejecting your flowers! AND you're newly engaged ma'am!

Shorty continues to fight with the party host, but it looks like Brooks is making a new friend! Should we name him Rocket?

Well he got to go inside, so I guess they got over their squabble. Now just to go home and...

Wait a minute! Shorty! I thought you were heading home, not breaking out the guitar again! The girls do NOT look amused.

OMG! Not again!!

I told you, you should have gone home! You have only yourself to blame for this.

AEW Collision 3/16/24

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Bryan Danielson -- LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!! They start on the mat, trading holds, quick transitions, and quick escapes. They trade some kicks. Danielson catches Shibata's leg, maneuvers him into position for the Romero Special, but just stomps the knees instead, then traps the arm and stomps the elbow!!!!! Danielson hyperextends Shibata's arm over his shoulder. Shibata responds with elbows and kicks. Danielson with a butterfly suplex into a arm bar attempt, but Shibata blocks and escapes, transitioning beautifully into a bow and arrow! Danielson escapes and locks in a bow and arrow of his own. Shibata escapes into a lateral press for two, then grabs a double wrist lock.

Danielson shoves Shibata!!! They trade shoves, then they trade chops!!! Danielson picks the ankle, takes Shibata down, and traps and stomps the arm again!! Shibata sort of suplexes Danielson off the apron, and Danielson lands hard on his feet. Shibata lands a running PK on the apron to Danielson on the floor!! Shibata traps the arm and stomps on it twice!!! Shibata with a nasty kick to the back!! Shibata with a big kick to the injured arm!! Shibata lands a big pump kick to the face outside, then another running boot to the face!! Danielson sits Shibata in a chair outside and lands a running dropkick!

Danielson lands a shotgun dropkick off the top, then a running dropkick in the corner! Danielson goes for another, but Shibata cuts him off with a running boot in the corner, followed by vicious strikes!!!! Danielson lands another running dropkick, followed by chops and round kicks in the corner! Shibata with nasty elbows to the jaw, chops to the chest, and jabs to the face!!!!! Damn! Shiabta lands a running dropkick!!

Shibata lands a beautiful snap suplex for two, then locks in an ankle lock, but Danielson escapes with an ankle lock of his own! Shibata escapes and locks in an ankle lock again, then Danielson escapes and grabs an ankle lock of his own again. Danielson lands a leg-capture German suplex and goes for a rolling elbow, but Shibata catches him and plants him with an STO!!!!!!!! Nice!!!

They trade knees to the midsection. Shibata lands a quick DVD for two!!! Shibata with an elbow to the head! Shibata with a ripcord attempt, but Danielson reverses and lands the Busaiku knee!! Cover, but Shibata kicks out at two!!!!!!!! Danielson attempts the LeBell lock, then traps the other arm to prevent a rope break, but Shibata gets his foot on the rope.

Danielson lays in the round kicks!!!! Shibata sits down and asks for more!!! Shibata eats the kicks, then rolls through the last kick, rolling to his feet and landing a nasty pump kick to the face!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!! Shibata with elbows to the face, Kawada kicks to the head, then DISGUSTING round kicks to the chest!!!!!! I am freaking out!!!! Eat your heart out Danielson!!!!! Danielson absorbs the kicks and asks for more!! Nice!!! They both sit down and face each other! They trade NASTY PALM STRIKES TO THE FACE AND NECK!!!!!!! Damn!!!!! They stand and continue to trade strikes!! Danielson finally gets the best of this with a round kick to the head!! Danielson goes for the Busaiku knee again, but Shibata avoids it and LANDS HIS SIGNATURE RIPCORD BITCH SLAP TO THE FACE!!!! I AM LOSING IT!!!

Shibata grabs a flying octopus hold and maneuvers Danielson to the mat. He tries to get Danielson's shoulders down but can't, and Danielson gets a foot on the rope to break. Shibata goes for a PK, but Danielson ducks it and rolls Shibata up for two! They trade beautiful pinning combos and near falls!!!! Shibata gets a jacknife for only a one count. Danielson escspes, grabs the arm, and transitions into the LeBell lock, but he can't lock it all the way in. Shibata gets Danielson's shoulders down for two, but Danielson reverses into a pinning combo of his own for three!!!!

THAT SLAPPED SO HARD!!!!!! I AM FREAKING OUT!! Beautiful submission wrestling that devolved into a strong style slug fest, with incredible back and forth throughout the match. Exactly my cup of tea in every way. Shibata is the GOAT!!!!!!! Rating: 4.5

Julia Hart (c) vs. Trish Adora for the TBS Championship -- Julia slams Trish's head into the steps a few times and throws her into the barricade outside. Trish lands a shoulder breaker onto her knee for two, then lands a nice German suplex from her knees into a bridge for two. Julia ultimately gets the pinfall with a moonsault off the top. This was kind of an awkward match. Rating: 2

Zak Knight and Harley Cameron with Lexy. Zak says he will give Angelo Parker a fight, but it won't be in Canada and it won't be on Angelo's terms.

Daniel Garcia vs. Lee Moriarty -- Moriary lands an aggressive topé, as Garcia is distracted by Shane Taylor outside. Moriarty lands a belly to belly suplex and holds onto the arm/hand for some joint manipulation. Garcia stomps a mud hole in Moriarty in the corner, then lands a nasty chop block to the knee and slams the leg back repeatedly into the mat! Garcia lands a belly to back suplex for two. Moriarty tries to run at Garcia in the corner, but his leg gives out. Moriarty lands a double stomp to the chest! Garcia catches his leg and viciously locks in a heel hook for the submission!!

A short match and a decisive win for Garcia, which I love to see. I know these two would have had a great match if they went longer, but what we got here was solid. Rating: 2.5

Pac vs. Aaron Solo -- Solo with a nice kick to the head and topé con giro to the outside to start. But it's all Pac from there with stomps in the corner, vicious kick combinations, a shotgun dropkick off the top, a running uppercut, a Black Arrow, then the Brutalizer for the submission victory.

Short and sweet!!! Nice return to the ring for Pac, who is looking as great as ever!! It is so good to have him back. Rating: 2

Pac grabs a mic. He says he is back, and he is looking for trouble, and this (Solo) is not exactly what he had in mind. He addresses Tony Khan, telling Tony to find him some trouble, or he will find it himself!!! Um, hell yeah!!!!!!!

Danielson promo. He says he is thankful he was able to wrestle Shibata tonight after they were both told they would never wrestle again. He is also thankful that he has a match with Ospreay at Dynasty. He mentions Ospreay's comment about watching Danielson when he was young and trying to emulate Danielson, as well as Ospreay's comment that he doesn't plan on dying in the ring with Danielson. Danielson says this tells him that Ospreay may have watched and tried to emulate him, but Ospreay can't walk in his shoes or Shibata's shoes. He and Shibata have been on death's door because of how much they love this. So Ospreay can say what he wants about what he is willing do to. Danielson knows what he is willing to do, and he doesn't think Ospreay is ready for that. Great stuff from Danielson here, coming off very real and genuine as usual.

Claudio Castagnoli vs. Lance Archer -- They trade shoulder tackles and body slams early on. Archer lands a cannonball senton off the apron onto Claudio on the floor! That looked painful. Archer dominates for a while, then Claudio turns it around with a vertical suplex and running uppercut. Archer lands a big lariat. Archer tries to walk the ropes, but Claudio pulls him down into a big uppercut for two. Archer blocks the Giant Swing and rolls outside, but Claudio follows with a running uppercut outside. Claudio goes to the top, but Archer stops him with a rising knee. Archer lands a chokeslam for two. Claudio lands a nice DVD, uppercuts in the corner, then a rope-hanging stunner for two. Claudio with a nice springboard spinning uppercut off the ropes for two. Claudio gets Archer in the Swing, but The Righteous break it up for the DQ finish.

That was a decent match that was starting to pick up when it ended with a stupid DQ. What was the point of that finish? Rating: 2.75

Danielson comes out to help Claudio as he is being attacked by The Righteous and Archer. The Righteous take Danielson down. Shibata comes out to threaten them with a chair, and they back down.

Ruby and Angelo with Lexy backstage. Angelo says he was ready for a match against Zak tonight with his family in the crowd. And if Zak doesn't want a match tonight, he's going to get a fight, because Angelo is going to find him. Ruby says they are baiting Angelo in, and if he goes looking for a fight, he will have to do it without her. Angelo says she is right, and he will leave it alone for tonight.

Kyle O'Reilly vs. Bryan Keith -- O'Reilly with a nice running knee, then runs at Keith as he sits on the mat, stops short, and slaps him in the face! Beautiful. Abdominal stetch by Keith. Nice DDT by Keith for two. Keith with knees to the head. They trade round kicks outside. O'Reilly with a kitchen sink, then his beautiful kick/palm strike/knee/leg sweep combo, then a running forearm in the corner!! O'Reilly hyperextends the arm over his shoulder, then lands a back suplex into a knee bar, but Keith rolls to the ropes. O'Reilly locks in a guillotine, transitions into a triangle, then lets go and lands a vicious PK!!!! O'Reilly goes to the top, but Keith takes him down with a jumping headbutt! Keith with a big knee to the head for two! Keith with a double underhook into a powerbomb for two! O'Reilly lands his beautiful axe and smash combo, and I freak out!! Keith with an enziguri! They both go for kicks at the same time and both block repeatedly. O'Reilly lands the rebound lariat!!!! Nigel says on commentary, "That's mine." 🥺🥺🥺. O'Reilly lands a brainbuster for two, then locks in an armbar for an immediate submission!!! Nice!!!

Very good match here!!! O'Reilly did his thing as always, and looked so, so great. I could not be happier to have him back. I have missed him so much. Rating: 3.25

Roddy and the Kingdom come out to celebrate with O'Reilly after the match. Seeing O'Reilly back from a career-threatening injury after almost two years, seeing Roddy with that belt around his waist, and seeing those guys together.... My heart overflows. 😭😭😭

Lexy with Deonna and Thunder Rosa. They talk about teaming against Toni and Mariah next week. Deonna says they may have never teamed before, but they have fought each other before and she trusts Rosa. She says Toni tapped at Revolution, and if not for interference from the butler and Mariah, she would have the title. Rosa asks does she mean the title that Rosa never lost? Rosa says they have a mission next week against Toni and Mariah.

Buddy Matthews and Brody King vs. Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo (Wild Card Match to Qualify for the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament) -- HOB jump Dean and Bravo before the bell and dominate the early part of the match. Nice cannonball in the corner by King, then double teams by HOB. Dean tags in and eats it off the top, but gets right back up with a back suplex to Matthews. King comes in with a big lariat to Dean. Bravo comes in to help, but eats a nice knee from Matthews. HOB land Dante's Inferno on Dean, but Bravo breaks up the pin. Matthews with a nice jumping knee to Bravo on the apron, sending him into the arms of King on the outside, who just hurls him with a body slam onto the announce table!! Nice! King then lands a piledriver on Bravo on the announce table! Matthews curb stomps Dean's head in the ring and covers him. He is out, but Matthews pulls him up before three for more punishment. Matthews goes to the top, but here comes Mark Briscoe, who takes Matthews down with a chair to the head!! Dean covers Matthews for three!

Wow! Crazy stuff here with HOB dominating the match until getting screwed by Mark. Still shocked HOB lost, even with the interference. This was a solid match though, and it gets extra points for a genuinely surprising finish. Rating: 3

Copeland comes out with a big case and a mic. He says he won't call Christian "Jay" anymore. Jay is dead. He has become Christian Cage. He has bought it all, his ego is out of control. Copeland thought since they were friends before wrestling, they would be friends after. He says Christian was on board with him coming to AEW. He came to AEW to retire with Christian, not to take his spotlight that he has earned. He talks about earning his title shot, and having it taken away by being taken out with a conchairto from the Patriarchy. He says he got a phone call from Foley, who helped him remember who he is. He is someone who has dark caves in his head that Christian has never navigated. He introduces a weapon he has made, which he calls "spike." He says next Wednesday, Christian will be in the hospital. He and spike are going to take away Christian's pride, his ego, and his manhood. He will make Christian say two words that will cause Christian to never be able to look his daughters in the eyes again, "I quit."

Solid promo by Copeland here. The spike thing is a little corny for me though.

l'azienda di famiglia (e le donnole dell'isola) ! daniel r. and f1 drivers x ofcs - mini wedding series part 3.

"the family business (and the weasels of the island)"

summary: nobody seemed to warn lester and danny that good things come with the most difficult journey. OR it's wednesday, and all the couple wanted was for the grid to stay away from the italian's sisters. (1)(2)

characters involved: lando norris, george russell, pierre gasly, carlos sainz, alex albon. fictional including the alessandro siblings, trish alonso (see masterlist) and the hearth sisters (and their kids!)

content warning: written part (HELLA LONG). hurt/comfort and a hint of crack fic! mentions of possible infertility, conceiving/pregnancy, mental health, therapy. thirsty!grid singles, lando norris x alessandro!ofc, george russell x alessandro!ofc. minor scenario with cigarette, use of explicit language and google translated italian.

note: got my etsy danny ric shirt. felt good. was writing a feel good part of this series but then decided last minute "hey let's add some sadness into this" and voila. bon appetit xx

masterlist

“Good morning, lads and ladies,” Daniel Ricciardo was the sunshine of the remote island— no matter how exposed the land and the beach were to the sun. The Australian driver could show up in the most depressing place and still manage to paint it yellow. 

But that didn’t apply to all that Wednesday morning. 

The usual suspects — Pierre, Carlos, Lando, George, and surprisingly Lance too — were still hungover from last night. Apparently, from what Daniel had witnessed last night at the bar stand, Valtteri makes a mean cocktail. The first one to believe him was Lando, who definitely asked for more because “he was parched.” Then the usual suspects continued to drink as they begged Bottas to make more. So the grumpiness from the five this morning was just a result of Valtteri’s talent in mixology. 

Lando just grunted quietly as he ate his breakfast. He was cranky, but it was only because Lewis had a vegan option while he and the other lads weren’t allowed to eat much carbs. Lando could really use some nougats. 

“So, not good morning then,” Daniel chuckled before he walked up to the kitchen, looking for the morning shift chef. It didn’t take much longer for Lester to enter the dining hall with the wedding coordinator, Garcia. They were talking amongst themselves before catching the sight of her friends. 

Lester paused from walking before waving, “Morning!” 

Everyone waved back at her, except for the five who only nodded. Lester frowned, “…Okay.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Aimee Hearth, the youngest sister of the Hearth family and Charles’ girlfriend, waved off as she joked, “they had a Taco Tuesday night.” 

Sylvie then looked at Lester and made a drinking gesture, leaving Garcia and Lester to hum in realization. 

“Okay,” Lester giggled, “I’ll tell the chef to have some juice for you, I suppose.” Then she and the coordinator continued to walk towards the kitchen. 

Lando slumped against his chair and sighed, “She’s so weird.”

“Weird how?” Sylvie asked, now looking at her best friend with a scowl. 

“This week made her weirder than she usually is,” Lando whined, “she’s all smiley and giggly— it’s creepy. That’s a Danny Ric thing to do, not a Lester Allie thing.” 

Lester’s friends sat to Lando’s left and laughed at the remark. Damiano David leaned forward to look at the British man. “Lando, it’s her wedding week, dumbass.” 

“I think I’d rather have her shitting on my life instead of giving everyone a happy smile,” Lando shifted in his seat. 

“And she didn’t want to get her sisters’ photos sent to your grid group chat, but we can’t always get what we want,” Thomas sassed. His Italian accent seemed to be a little too loud, he thought, because at the last word almost half the grid stared at his direction. He saw the watching eyes and shrugged, “Hey man, Lorelei speaks. There’s no way anyone could hear a screaming guy down the hall and not ask a question about it—“

“Okay, okay!” Lando protested with a roll of his eyes, “Damn, there’s no need to expose me.” 

“What do you mean, expose you?” Max and Lewis snorted. “Everyone by the lounge room could hear you. You sound like a dying hyena, bruv.” 

The chef came out of the kitchen with jugs of juice— mango and orange, leaving the door open as the couple and the coordinator discussed the agenda for today. The chef came pouring some juice for the guests while the men listened in to the conversation. 

“Mrs. Wolff and her family will be arriving later today with Mrs. Hamilton and the baby. We’ve had their rooms set up— and I can assume Sir Hamilton has already set up the crib for the baby?” 

“He should be.”

“Right, sounds neat. Now what are we looking at… let’s see…” 

“Dinner, perhaps?” 

“The caterers will be serving lunch at 12:30, just half an hour after your families arrive. They’ll serve dinner for the guests at the dining hall while the evening chefs will serve dinner for the family dinner at the villa.”

“Great,” Daniel said, the eavesdropping lads hearing the smile from his voice alone, “that sounds like a plan.”

“If you don’t mind me asking: there will still be portions made for the kids’ right?” Lester asked. She was so polite, never demanding— perhaps that’s what Daniel didn’t like so much. He wanted her to demand for more. But that’s maybe why he also loved her so much. 

“Yes! Of course, it will be for six, yes?” Garcia asked. A hum of agreement came from the kitchen. 

“Psst, Lando, psssst~” Max tried calling the Brit, but he wasn’t having it. 

George and Alex glared at Max and told him to shush. Max looked at his girlfriend and Lewis with his jaw dropped, as if he was asking, “Can you believe this shit?” 

“It should be, unless you count Lori’s brother- ow, never mind,” Daniel groaned, “I forgot I’m not entitled to make such jokes yet.” 

“Would you like anything else from the kitchen?” The chef asked kindly, making Lando look at her with a smile. 

“Some fruits, perhaps?” Lando suggested, feeling slightly irked that he couldn’t listen in to the conversation in the kitchen.

“That should be confirmed as of your arrival two days ago,” Garcia said, “and if you would like, we can always set up a table for the littles so you can have some time. It should be safe for them to go around the villa. And we can also get them some colouring pages and crayons to keep them occupied during the dinner.”

“Of course,” the chef nodded, “just going to chop ‘em up for you.” She then walked off, allowing Lando to continue with his eavesdropping.

“That sounds good!” Lester eagerly said, “I should have thought of that before.”

“I came prepared, Lester, so don’t worry,” Garcia chuckled. “You’ll have more kids at the reception so we’ve made a little table arrangement for them.” 

“Maybe this is a time for her sisters to take a break,” Daniel laughed. “God knows what two children could do to each of them.” 

“Yeah, hearing that they’re single parents made me admire them even more— and I’ve not seen them before!” 

Hearing the conversation, Lando whipped his head towards the direction of the other drivers. His eyes twinkled in excitement and the grid singles seemed to share the same sentiment. 

Valtteri had only shaken his head, wondering what he was just roped into. Lewis caught a glimpse of his reaction, reaching out to pat him at the back. 

Man, were they ever ready to meet the Alessandros. 

The arrival of the Ricciardos was exciting, the grid singles said, but the Alessandros were a different story. 

The singles had decided to do a roll call and relaxed at the beach. The rest (being Sebastian, Fernando and his family, Lewis, Charles and Max with their partners) remained in the palace, some opting for the central air conditioning while the Alonsos hung out at the pool by the west entrance. 

The boys already greeted the family before going back to whatever they were doing. The port was near the palace itself, making it easier for anyone to get to their temporary shelter fast. The beach was also near the port, which gave the boys some access to see who arrived and who had left. 

Then came the Alessandros. 

“Mio caro! Come on, ‘urry!” Pierre’s head was the first to snap in the direction of Lester’s yelling voice, then it was followed by the rest. “They’re here!” 

“I’m coming— that doesn’t sound so right,” Daniel replied back. 

The boys could see the couple standing in the docks as the guests arrived through a boat. The littles had arrived first, jumping up on the arms of Danny and Lester. 

“Oh man, Franco— you and Andrea are heavy!” Daniel hoisted the boys up. “Geez, Lina— what do you feed them?” 

“Men who like to be unkind to women.” 

The boys were close enough to be able to hear the arriving people. So their conversations were loud enough for the boys to eavesdrop. 

“My kinda breakfast.” Anyone with two eyes could say that she was… hot. Pierre Gasly had seen her face once or twice in magazines but not once did he care enough to get to know her. He didn’t think that he’d see her in person though, radiating the same energy that she had on those pictures.

Pierre looked back at the boys, volleyball in hand as he nodded in the direction of the docks. “Jacquelina,” his French accent said loud enough for the men, “she’s the eldest, oui?” 

“Yeah,” Lando confirmed. 

“Dio abbia pietá,” God, have mercy. Pierre muttered beneath his breath before turning back. 

“Same here,” Lester said as she juggled the toddler and the infant in her arms. “Theo and Maris have grown a lot this past year! Don’t tell me you’re feeding them the same thing as Lina, sis?” 

“No,” another woman stepped out of the boat, trying to balance her way down as she laughed heartily. “They like racists for dinner.”

“Still hilarious as ever, Nora,” Danny laughed aloud, hugging the brunette as a greeting. The woman kissed him on the cheek before moving on to Lester. 

Kara Eleanora Alessandro. That was the 30 year old sister of Lester, then. She was the businesswoman who runs a boutique in Tuscany and Milan. 

Pierre was stupid for that. Why didn’t he go out to shop more often? 

“Ever the genius, Dan,” Nora chuckled, kissing her sister on the forehead. “I hope the groom’s treating you nicely, tesoro?” 

“A malapena,” barely. Lester laughed softly, making Daniel turn towards his fiancée with a huge scowl on his face.

“The accusations, bellezza,” Daniel scoffed, “on our wedding week.” 

“Yeah, keep that up then there will be no more weddings happening,” Nora said, reaching for her children as she carried them. “Is there any place the bambinos could freshen up in? Theo and the boys were rather excited about swimming when we said beach. They can’t swim on the beach just yet because we just arrived – they need to nap.” 

“Ah yes! West and east entrance,” Lester told her sister, “Garcia will show you your rooms, then you can have lunch if you’d like.” 

A tall figure exited the boat, making his way down to the dock as he exclaimed, “Danny!” 

“Mateo! How’s it been?” Daniel slapped the boy’s back and greeted. “How’s college?” 

“Shit,” Mateo Alessandro stood there with his 6 '1 being. He was dressed on a blue short sleeved linen shirt and khaki shorts, his bucket hat eccentric. 

“Oi, stop swearing,” Lester scolded her little brother before giving him a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. “I didn’t raise you like that, bambino.” 

“You’re only four years older than me,” Mateo rolled his eyes. 

“MATEO! YOU UTTER PIECE OF SHIT!” A scream escaped a girl’s mouth as she exited the boat, stomping down as if the boat wasn’t shaking. 

“NICOLA! Don’t be foolish! Stop shaking the boat,” Lester hissed, the younger girl not caring as she smacked Mateo in the arm. 

The slap was so hard that even the drivers from afar grimaced. Crikey.

“Alright, cut it out,” Daniel told the girl before Mateo could even retaliate. “Use your words, kids.” 

“Look at what this testa de cazzo did to my face,” dickhead. The girl whined as she turned her head to the side, suddenly catching a glimpse of the drivers who then looked away after being caught by her. 

Daniel and Lester leaned over and saw what she was pointing at. 

A penis was drawn on the side of her head. Right on her temple, in fact. 

Lester glared at Mateo, who couldn’t contain his laughter any longer as he cackled hysterically. 

Of course, Daniel took this as a chance to joke.

“If anything, you’re the dickhead,” Mateo wailed at the joke that Daniel made, trying to catch his breath. 

“Don’t encourage the boy,” Lester nudged her fiancé harshly before turning to her sister, “Do you think you can take it off easily?”

“I sure hope so,” Nicola Alessandro was everyone’s favourite, being the youngest and all that. Truthfully, Mateo and Nicola were the favourites of the Alessandro family. They could get away with anything and get something with a snap of a finger if they asked for it. So their foolishness was just a natural thing to happen. 

If you put them in the same place, you’ll have nothing but chaos. 

“It’s washable,” Mateo finally stood up from laughing too much, wiping down the drawing. “See?” 

“You need to stop doing shit that’ll get you in trouble, Mateo,” Daniel paused, “Actually, don’t do the shit that’ll get me in trouble. They already think that I’m influencing you.”

“So we can’t talk about the po—“

“No! We didn’t even do that,” Daniel protested, “stop being a shithead. I love you, man, but you need to stop concocting something heinous at this early time of the week. I’ve got to marry your sister.”

“Ma should have adopted him out and stuck to being a girl mother,” Nicola shook her head before walking towards the direction of the palace.

“Oi! You’re a bitch, you know that.”

“Stop throwing that word around, Mateo! The kids can hear you!” Lester huffed as she and Daniel watched Mateo walk away. 

The couple then turned towards the direction of the grid singles, Daniel crossing his arms and Lester resting her hand on her hips. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the staring drivers, obviously acting like deers caught in the headlights as she pointed at them. 

“Don’t try it, boys,” she warned them.

Daniel also said, “We mean it.” 

They both walked off, heading to the palace as well. 

The drivers only looked at each other, silence filling the air. Bottas then guffawed and was followed by the rest of the group. They had a hard time keeping a straight face as they were being told off by the couple. Those two were the most cheerful couple to have existed in the paddock, so to see them look serious? Yeah no. 

They all had to laugh.

pierregasly posted on his story !

An hour hadn’t even passed since the Ricciardos and the Alessandros arrived at the island, and if you were to ask any of the drivers they were starting to feel bored by the lack of activities done. Most of them had gone off to somewhere inside the palace after Lance told them about the entertainment den at the basement level.

Everyone left the beach but George Russell. He decided that he should stay and spend some time listening to the calming waves of the low-tide water, under the umbrella with his shirt undone and his chest and abdomen exposed to the world. 

This was the life he wanted to live after the 2023 season. He hadn’t really wanted to party for two days straight, but most people were his friends and they’ve never taken the energy out of him. So really, he’s winning either way.

His eyes were closed the entire time, his ears listening closely to the sound of the waves. But he drew his attention to the rustling of the sands as he shot up and turned to his right, looking towards the direction of the footsteps. 

“Buongiorno,” he was so happy his sunglasses were on because his eyes trailed down the legs of the petite woman before looking back at her. “How are you?” 

Shit, George thought as he gulped, she’s actually talking to me.

“I’m great!” It wasn’t as if he had a choice— he had to talk to her instead of fearing that he’ll be screwing it up one way or another. “How are you? Liking the island so far?” 

“Ah yes,” she nodded before peering down the empty spot next to him, “may I sit?” 

“Yes, yes, do,” George nodded eagerly as she smiled gleefully and sat on the empty outdoor chaise lounge, sighing in joy. Forget about her wearing a black beach dress that barely covered her red bikini, her smile was heavenly.

“Thanks,” her Italian accent was the same as Lester’s, George noticed, and her fluency was much better, “I haven’t had a time to sit down for a moment until the little ones settled.” 

“I’ve got a niece and a nephew,” he chuckled, “my sibling struggles a lot too.” 

“It’s good that they’re out for a nap,” she said, “because I get to see the beach peacefully before they start causing havoc later.”

“It must be something you’ve missed,” George laughed. “Having a peaceful time on the beach.” 

“Yes,” she nodded in agreement, “having two under six is not exactly suitable for struggling mothers.”

“Sorry to hear that,” George spoke softly. He really did feel bad for her. 

“Meh, that man is a coward,” she stated with a shrug, “he left because he can’t handle a woman who’s doing a much better job in business and in parenting— sorry, I did not catch your name?” 

“Oh! Yikes, that’s true,” George grimaced before sticking his hand out, “‘m George. I’m one of the poor souls who have been causing problems on the island since Monday.” 

“Ah, that explains why you’re here in the silence,” she joked as she reached out to shake his hand. “Kara Eleanora. I am one of Lorelei’s older sisters.” 

“Really?” George’s eyes widened, pretending as if he hadn’t seen her hop out of the boat earlier. “So you are the Nora that Daniel talks about.” 

“I have a feeling that he is talking about me in a poor manner,” Nora laughed quietly.

“No, no,” George shook his head, “he tells us a lot about Lester’s siblings— he loves all of you, really. He recently told us about your baby’s christening.”

“He is Marisa’s godfather,” Nora grinned, “my Gabby’s godfather was his father’s friend, and I have trusted Daniel more than I had trusted the pezzo di merda’s asshole friend.” piece of shit.

“He is trustworthy,” George nodded. “At least you know that he’s a permanent fixture.”

“I can’t help it; he’s in every group chat our siblings have whenever we’re all away,” Nora laughed loudly as George followed along, “nobody wants to be as involved in their partner’s family as him— it’s no wonder why Pa allowed him to propose.”

“So, Nora, tell me more!” 

Lando Norris didn’t like snitching, he swore. He wouldn’t do it purposefully, he’d do it because his big mouth couldn’t stop itself from doing so. 

So when he made his way back to the beach to see how George was, he hid behind the shrubs when he caught sight of the tall British man walking down the shore alongside a woman who was a foot or two shorter than him. He gasped quietly, trying to grasp the scene in front of him. 

The McLaren driver did not like snitching, but his fingers acted faster than his brain did when he sent a message to someone. Or rather… some people.

Lando: The Prince is with a lady. I repeat, THE PRINCE IS WITH A SISTER!!

It didn’t take long for Carlos Sainz, Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon to arrive, leaning down at Lando’s level before the British man nudged his head towards the direction of the duo. Wordlessly, the three men looked at the walking figures. 

Then they took off, with Lando begging for them to come back and don’t do something stupid. But it was too late for that. 

“Oi, George!” Alex hollered, making the couple turn around with a frown, “I thought you were alone here?” 

“I was,” George said slowly, his face etched a look of confusion before it turned into a glare, “but the three of you obviously decided that I shouldn’t be anymore.” His glare said not to screw it up for him while Nora remained on his side, but the three weren’t about to let him win.

“Oh, hola,” Carlos said politely, putting on his trademark smile as he offered his hand to shake, “I’m Carlos. What’s your name, hermosa?” 

“Kara Eleanora,” she grinned charmingly before shaking his hand, “you’ve got quite the accent— are you from any other country, perhaps?”

“Spain,” Carlos grinned smugly at the boys. 

It only started there. Lando didn’t even want to replay their Wednesday after that first encounter with an Alessandro sister. Only wanting to replay the one that he had with the youngest one. 

The night seemed to end early for everyone. By the time the sun began to set, the Wolffs arrived on the island with Stevie, her newborn and Daniel’s best friend, Scotty and his wife Chloe Stroll. They arrived rather fashionably early than expected and truthfully, Lester and Danny were more than grateful.

Stevie had introduced Lottie Hamilton to everyone just as the model arrived. The baby was only 8-week old yet she already stole the hearts of the adults on the island. Danny and Lester spent their time around the baby with some of their nephews and nieces hanging around them, asking the adults if Lottie would race too– because Lina’s son Andrea would like to race like his Zio Daniel. 

The time seemed to pass by quickly, because the couple’s endless conversation with the Hamiltons lasted longer than expected. Daniel and Lester waved goodbye to the two before they got ready for dinner.

During the Alessandro-Ricciardo dinner, Lando took it upon himself to walk around the island. Had it been for the pathways made and lights outdoors, he probably would have gotten lost on his little adventure. It was during that time when he accidentally stumbled upon the villa where the dinner was occurring, and as always, he had accidentally listened in on the conversations shared between the family.

Meanwhile, the Alessandros sat on one side of the table and the Ricciardos on the other. The kids were occupied on their own table and had no intention of talking to the adults anytime soon. Daniel’s nephew, Isaac, had taken it upon himself to keep an eye on the little ones - to which Daniel thanked him and swiftly handed the child five euros and 20 Australian dollars, telling him not to tell his mother about the money. 

“I don’t know if this is like a coincidence but Mom’s name is Grace,” Daniel’s sister, Michelle, started, “and Lori’s mom is…”

“Grazia!” Lando heard Mateo’s laugh throughout the location followed by others as they laughed along. “And you know what, Michelle? Her maiden name is even funnier.”

“Oh no,” Lester laughed, “right, mio caro, remember what I told you about Mama?”

“The maiden name? Yeah, how can’t I,” Daniel snickered, “Mom, Mama’s maiden name is Riccardo.”

“Really?” Lando would pay to see the shocked look on Mr. and Mrs. Ricciardo’s face. “Is it really?”

“Sí,” Grazia responded, “my papa’s family business happens to be Siena’s famous local winery– La Vigna E La Cantina Di Riccardos. It’s been running for many decades now. The Riccardos are very famous in our town.” The Riccardos’ Vineyard and Winery.

“I would have gotten a deal to produce wine from their business with Lori’s uncle,” Daniel told them, “if she had told me in the beginning.”

“Am I just the means of your successful business, mio tasso?” Lori said. She hadn’t really needed to tell him that. She and her siblings did not have much connection with the winery, after all. Her mother, Grazia, worked there briefly and had earned enough in the place. She owned parts of the winery, of course, but there was only enough to do and enough money to earn in the place. So Lester didn’t feel the need to tell him about it if she’s not involved in the business.

“No,” Daniel shook his head and huffed, earning a giggle from Lori, “stop twisting my words around, love. You’re going to get me in trouble. I only mean that they have better… taste?”

“But we don’t have an I on our Riccardo,” Grazia chuckled, “that’s not confusing, no?”

“You’re an Alessandro,” Lester’s father, Giacomo Alessandro, laughed aloud, “you have not been a Riccardo for years.”

“Besides,” the eldest Alessandro sibling, Jacquelina – or Lina, piped up as she sipped on her sauvignon blanc, “We will only have one Ricciardo by the end of the week. Two– if you include Daniel himself.”

“I like that idea, Lina,” Daniel snapped his finger before he pointed at Lina excitedly, “thank you for reminding us. See? You don’t have to worry about many Riccardos with and without the letter I when it’ll just be me and Lori!”

“Give it a month or two, then there’ll be three of them,” Michelle said, while she wiggled her brows at the couple. The couple shared a look before laughing nervously, their reaction masked as amusement. 

“We’re just saying,” Nora clinked her glass with Michelle’s before sipping, “it would be very nice if the bambinos have a baby for a cousin.”

“We have Maris,” Lester shook her head in disbelief, “isn’t she adorable enough for a cousin?”

“Yeah but, I have heard Isaac and Isabella ask for a baby cousin,” Michelle suggested with a scheming smile. 

“I’ve been hearing it for more than I can count,” Michelle’s husband groaned, “it’s not like it’s easy to shoot a baby out of a woman, you know? It’s hard to explain to them that it takes a lot of work for that to happen.”

Unbeknownst to everyone, the couple had been trying. Nobody knew just yet, because they didn’t want to make a fuss out of it. It had taken a toll on Lester’s mental health, as well, but it wasn’t something that she spoke of aloud. Daniel had taken notice of it, and had immediately sat her down to have a conversation about the matter. She cried so hard that day.

The memories of negative results were still fresh for the bassist, if you were to ask her. She hated tossing out the pregnancy tests knowing that she had to tell Danny that she hadn’t done it. Everybody talks about the wonders of conceiving and pregnancy, but why didn’t they warn Lester about the disappointing and draining part of it? Clearly, they only advertised the positive side of it but provided very little support for those who kept on trying. 

Going to her gynecologist became a constant thing, and hiding it from Danny wasn’t easy. What was she supposed to do? She was already failing and she wasn’t even a mother yet. Daniel didn’t know how terrible it was until the day she declared that she was going to see an online therapist during her tour. He couldn’t even believe that his fiancée was suffering from this. He remained proud of her, still. He told her that they’ll find a way. He expressed his admiration for keeping a brave front throughout all of this – telling her that she would be the amazing mother bear that their kids would have.

The therapist wasn’t a secret to anyone, but trying to conceive a baby was. Danny wanted her to have the peace she deserved after those stupid pregnancy tests had failed her. He was upset himself, but Lester was the one blaming her own body for not doing the thing she expected it to do. He could only be there for her, trying and trying. He could only be there for the treatments that she may need, and for the worst things that could happen in the process.

Squeezing his hand below the table, Lester shot him a smile. I’m here for you.

He took notice of her smile and grinned back at her, squeezing her hand back. And I will always be here for you.

Lando was so caught up in his own little world that the only thing that brought him back to his senses was a smell of smoke coming from behind him. He turned around and nearly jumped and screamed, watching as the young adult peered at him with a suspicious look. She sat on the bench by the stone fountain, between her fingers was a lit cigarette.

“I know you had a crush on my sisters, but I did not think you would stoop this low,” she laughed quietly, taking a drag before exhaling sharply. 

“I’m not- not stalking,” Lando insisted before gesturing at the pavement, “‘m just walking around at night. Like a normal adventurer– do your sisters know you smoke?”

“They know that every once in a while I do,” she shrugged, her fingers reaching out to offer him the cigarette. Lando shook his head in insistence, not wanting to do that. “I don’t get stressed as often.”

“Yeah?” When she moved to one side, Lando took this as an invite and sat next to her. The smell of the cigarette reeked and Lando was sure his clothes would have the scent of smoke all over it by the time he leaves. “You must be living a chill life then.”

“Bwoaaa… I would not say so,” she wrinkled her brows as she thought of it. “My sisters are successful in life, and I am not– that stresses me out. Besides, you are the one to talk. You are doing what you love and you are making money out of it.”

“I’m sure you have something,” Lando shrugged.

“D’you put this much trust on people you meet, Norris?” She giggled, her accent slipping into a southern one after saying the first word. “Perhaps I have something. Who knows.”

Lando laughed quietly, “You know my name and you haven’t even told me yours. How unfair is that?”

“You’re a professional driver alongside my in-law,” she raised a brow, “you’re not exactly the private kind. Unless you have forgotten that you are famous?”

“I don’t like to brag about it,” Lando waved her comment off, “I prefer bragging about my trophies. Now, trophies– they always have me and my ego going. They show that I have something to prove. Fame is different– you can be famous and still be talentless.” 

“Honest,” she observed with a hum, "sei impressionante.” You are impressive. 

Lando might have understood, or he didn’t, but she didn’t care as she introduced herself, “Nicola Grazia.”

“Nee-ko-la Grat-zia,” Lando said slowly. 

“Or Pepsi,” she grinned, “Lina called me that first but Lo decided to keep it forever.”

“How– oh,” Lando paused, causing the Italian girl to nod and encourage him to speak, “Cola.”

“Yes,” she dropped the butt of her cigarette before stomping on it, killing the burning end of it. “Like Pepsi-Cola.” 

“Well, I’m Lando Norris,” he reintroduced himself, causing her to laugh heartily. “And- I think you’ve been an amazing company so far, Miss Alessandro.” 

“It’s nice to meet my sister’s own pet sewer rat,” Nicola joked, shaking his hand and pulling away. Lando pulled an unimpressed look as she continued, “Lo told me to call you that because she and Dan are the couple from Ratatouille. Do you know Linguini and Colette?”

“Yes,” he muttered in annoyance, reminding himself to give the two an earful tomorrow. 

“You are like their Remy,” Nicola smiled at him cheekily.

“I already got that when you called me a sewer rat,” Lando rolled his eyes.

“I’m jealous,” Nicola sighed before standing up, not even looking back at him as she said, “I’ve always wanted to travel with them for free. I should be their Remy.”

Lando stared at her as she disappeared from his sight, wondering what the hell did the youngest Alessandro sister tell him. He asked himself a lot of questions that night: Did she compare me to a rat AND called me a freeloader? Did I just try to shoot my shot with her by saying she was a good company and accidentally making it sound like I’m insinuating something else? 

She had already caught his attention and the couple just warned them not to try anything with any of Lori’s sisters. But maybe Lando would push his luck a little. 

What’re the chances of him being obliterated to the moon by Lester and Danny? Maybe if he tries hard enough, he’ll be able to get away a little.

Danielson vs Shibata was supremely good shit man, just the exact kinda sicko shit you want.

Trish Adora might be the most actual underrated wrestler on the aew roster, not underrated in the chad gable or daniel garcia way of people speak, but one that is truly underrated and needs to be used in a bigger way, one of those very complete women who just is currently lacking the star power but has all the checkmarks to make into a star, including that unteachable aura/charisma.

Chapter 3: My Teacher's Other Side

Read Previous Chapter

🌸 

Nighttime on the same day. Trisha was on her bed busy with her phone. She was playing Strife Play and chatting with Jin.

🌸 🌸 

Morning, next day. At the lavatory area near the school cafeteria. While Trisha was washing her hands, she felt something on her feet. When she look down, she saw a white cat with orange spots cat. A big fat one. It was rubbing itself to her feet and her lower leg.

“Ah so cute!”

She quickly wiped her wet hands with her handkerchief and tries to pat the cat. Before she could do it, the cat ran away.

“Wait. I won’t hurt you.”

It ran towards the back of the building and so she ran and tried to follow it. When she reached the corner and about to turn to the left side, she didn’t notice the guy leaning on the wall while reading a book with an anime illustration on its cover. She bumped into him. Due to the collision, both of them fell down and the book was thrown away.

“Ouch!” Trisha hit her knee on the ground.

“What are you doing?” said the guy. The guy is someone Trisha knows.

“Sir Jake! I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” 

Jake got up and took Trisha’s hand, helping her to stand up.

“I’m fine. Why are you running anyway? Are you being chased?”

“No. I was looking for a cat. Did you see it?”

After helping her stand up, Jake walked towards the book and picked it up.

“Nah, I haven’t noticed.”

“That book…”

“...You know this?”

“I think I’ve seen that book cover before…”

And so Trisha remembered the time when Jin told her about his hobby aside from playing games. He likes to read manga too and he recommended that series to her. But Trisha doesn’t really read manga so she haven’t tried it yet but she still remembers the book cover at least.

“Wow I didn’t know you read manga sir Jake. Do you watch anime too?”

Jake leans towards her, putting his index finger on his lips.

“Shhhh…”

Could it be that he doesn't want anyone to know that so he reads it alone? Trisha doesn't understand why he still needs to hide that. 

Then the bell for the first period rang.

“Ah, I need to go to the office now. Are you on the way to your class too? What’s your first period?”

“H.E.-”

“Oh no.” She suddenly remembered what Mary told her last time. 

- "By the way, our next subject is H.E., and our teacher is a bit strict so please be sure no to be late on his class.

“Ahhhh!! I’m gonna be late I have to go!” Trisha runs.

Jake noticed something and tried to stop her, but Trish runs so fast that it amazed him.

🌸 🌸 🌸 

Trisha was running in the hallway while repeating her prayers.

“I hope he’s not there yet. I hope he’s not there yet. I hope he’s not there yet. Oh God please.”

She passed by the faculty office where a man was about to leave.

“No running in the hallway, Ms. Bautista…”

Trisha recognized the voice and knew that things will get worse so she stopped.

“Sorry sir.”

“You’re already late so there’s no need to run.”

“Actually sir, I--" Trisha is trying to think of an excuse why she’s late.

“Wait, are you okay?”

“Huh?”

“It’s bleeding. What happened?!” William pointing at Trisha’s knee.

“Ah this must from when I bumped into sir Jake… Now that I’ve seen it, it does hurt.”

Then Trisha finally thought of an idea.

“On my way here, I accidentally bumped into someone and hit my knee on the ground. It hurts so I was walking slowly and I didn’t notice the time.”

“... But you were running just now.”

“Ah y-yeah. Ha ha... I was thinking I might still make it on time. Hehe” 

William grabbed her hand. “Come with me.”

“Huh?!”

🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 

They stopped by the clinic’s door. William entered and talked to the lady inside. 

“Excuse me Ms. Garcia.”

“Oh sir William… and Trisha?”

Trisha saw that it was her aunt Dianne so she smiled and waved.

“Trisha?” William got confused after hearing that name for the first time, but realizing where it come from.

“Is she the niece you were talking about Ms. Dianne" said by the other man sitting on the chair. The man has a black hair with a long bangs covering his left eye.

“Oh I see.” William murmured .

“Wait. Sir Andrew, what are you doing here?”

“Well I got a paper cut when I was reading in the library so I came her to ask for some band aids. Guess I need to head back to the office now.”

“...Is that so?” William doesn’t know whether Andrew is telling the truth. He knew his cousin always like to joke or tell lies.

As he was about to leave, he turned to Trisha,

“By the way, I’m Andrew Go. The History teacher of Grade 12. Your aunt and I are good friends so tell me if this guy is bullying you, okay?”

“Huh?! Why would I even  do that?!” William reacted.

“Trisha your knee!” Dianne saw that Trisha’s knee is bleeding.

“Woah, sir William is a meanie…” said Andrew

“I didn’t do anything!”

“No this is-” Trisha was trying to explain but William spoke before she could even finish.

“She hit her knee on the ground. Dianne can you treat it so it won’t get infected.” 

“Of course. Trisha come here" Dianne went to one of the cabinets to take the first aid kit.

Andrew was about to leave and called William.

“Will… Don’t you have a class today?”

William looks at the wall clock and realized he was late. He, of all people hates tardiness. 

“Ahh!!”

Trisha looking at him, felt a bit guilty and said.

“Sorry sir because of me.”

William pats her head.

“Don’t worry about it. Come after you’re done”

William smiled at her and left with Andrew. Trisha couldn’t believe what she saw. Her terror teacher just smiled and he looked like a different person.

More Sims to Move!

With Korey making inappropriate forum posts and Wanda leveling up after deciding it's better to wear clothes for cooking, it's time to let these two be until round two! Now back to the main house to move Angela and the twins out!

Kasey won't be there to say goodbye, though. She's in need of some cheering up and the best remedy seems to be a date with Garth.

Aww...They're so cute!

Bye Angela! I hope you love the little house I'm moving you to! And don't worry, once summer comes it will be Korey's season with the twins. Until then, he better be keeping up with his child support payments!

The house seems so quiet and empty with the most dramatic sims moved out. Oh look, it looks like Korey managed to break the computer before moving out. LOL! That's so Korey, he's such a jerk of a sim!

There's finally room for a pillow fight now! Kizzy and Trish are probably the closest out of all the roommates.

Kasey finished up her date. Looks like she worked up quite the appetite with all that PDA!

Poor little Snowball having nightmares about fires after all the chaos of the past week.

Aww...How sweet!

Just that darn Freezer Bunny Gnome again! And one last task bright and early in the morning before we say goodbye to the Malloy Household...

Uh oh! Looks like some of my sims are going to be paying back taxes next year!

And then I got a notification...

Aww...He may be a jerk, but he does actually love the twins. In that expensive house though, I wonder how long this will keep up!

Cell reunion

Pairing: Lita x Fem reader

Description: You and Lita are reunited during your hell in a cell match with Becky against Damage Control

You run out and knock Dakota into the cage before pulling Iyo into the cage while Becky deals with Bayley since the two had a current feud. The match was 50/50 at this point with each of you basically tossing and throwing each other around with you and becky even doing the Road Warrior's Doomsday device, suddenly a new and familiar theme to you begins to play throughout the arena leading you to stand stunned as Lita runs down to the ring unable to control your smile as she deals with with dakota before iyo gets out earning her a twist while you and becky get a double pin on bayley which earned a win as lita climbed in the cage before she pulled you into a tight warm hug "God I missed you, I haven't seen you in so long". The last time you saw each other was the party for your retirement in mid 2007 which led to a tumultuous romance with romance with Test, a surgery on your hip after a car accident, less stress and worry, and longer being on the road managing to stay in contact with a few of your friends of Edge, Victoria, Rey, Beth, Christian, and Undertaker while losing contact with Trish, John Cena, Lilian Garcia, Bautista, Lita, Umaga, and Torrie managing to get into contact with a few which you were half you saw umaga for a long while before he passed and you did get to reunite with rekindle the friendship you had with chyna before her untimely passing years later on, but now memories flow as you and lita catch up backstage after the last few years of not seeing each other. A few weeks later and through lita, you reunite with trish and soon the three of you were as close as the three of you had been years earlier while on the road wrestling together being each other's number one supporters and both women became your maids of honor when you married Sami Callihan early on the next year and were the first ones you told when you found out just a few days after that you were pregnant feeling nothing but unconditional support from them as you go through your first pregnancy.
