《Raising Gracie》RG 18

"Uncle Josh." Gracie said seeing him walk into Black and Brave where she and her parents were working out.
"Hey munchkin." Josh said picking her up as she ran over to him. "Working out?"
"Yep, mommy taught me how to do a burpee." Gracie said. "Wanna see?"
"Let's." Josh said setting Gracie down.
She did the burpee as Becky taught her and Josh smiled.
"Very good, soon you'll be out doing your mommy." Josh said.
"I wouldn't count on that." Seth said coming over. "You know Bex and her tank."
"I do." Josh said.
"So what brings you to my neck of the woods?" Seth asked.
"Needed to get away from Venice for a bit." Josh said. "Kinda burned out."
"Understood, you are always welcome here." Seth said.
"Hey man." Becky said coming out of the washroom.
"Josh needed a vacation from Cali so he's visiting us." Seth said.
"We're always happy to have you." Becky said.
"Thanks." Josh said. "Figured we could get some things for Deadboys in and I could see how you're training is going."
"That's good." Seth said. "Becky was just saying we needed to go to Cali when we got back from Saudi Arabia."
"Well I am here now so let's see what's going on." Josh said and Becky nodded taking him over where she was working and going over what she was doing and where she felt she needed a change. Josh was able to see how she had mastered a move and was needing to alter to get more out of the movement so they worked out a new routine that Becky felt better doing.
"Food." Gracie said jumping in Becky's back. "Please mommy."
"Let's go shower and change while Daddy and Josh do and then we will do get food." Becky said.
"Nachos?" Gracie asked.
"Yes." Becky said.
After showering and changing they headed to Seth's favorite Mexican eatery to get food and head home.
"That girl can eat." Josh said as Gracie went to play with her dolls.
"She can." Seth said. "She loves her food.
"More then that she loves her healthy food." Becky said. "She'll eat a sweet now and then but other wise she doesn't ask for them."
"That's good." Josh said.
"It is." Seth said. "She does enjoy her chocolate though."
"All girls do." Becky said smiling. "She even love chocolate mints."
Seth made a face and both Becky and Josh laughed.
"She gets thst from you." Seth said.
"She does." Becky said. "We only have them when we're out doing mommy daughter things."
"And I am thankful for that." Seth said.
"So where is Raw this week?" Josh asked.
"Cleveland." Seth said. "House shows in Dayton, Dublin and then Raw."
"I wish it was Dublin." Becky said.
"Soon." Seth said.
"Then we have lives around St. Louis before we head off to Saudi Arabia." Becky said.
"That is going to be cool." Seth said.
"It's even cooler because Becky get's to go and perform." Josh said. "I am very proud."

"Me too." Seth said.
"Thanks." Becky said. "I was surprised I was asked to go but I am so excited too."
"It's a big step and it's cool you get to make it." Seth said. "I know Lexi and Sasha had a match our first time there but they had to ask to perform, you were requested."
"I know, I am proud that they got to do it, they we're the first and I am okay with that." Becky said. "I am just glad to take the next step with Naomi."
"It's going to be a match to see." Seth said.
"We are, Naomi and I have been working out things and we're going to use the live events to work on things." Becky said.
"That is why you are upping your cardio." Josh said.
"Yes, gotta keep up with her." Becky said. "That and the three year old currently spying on us."
"No fair mommy." Gracie said. "How you see?"
"Because mommy is magic." Seth said getting up and scooping her up. "What's going on?"
"Play?" Gracie said.
"What do you want to play?" Seth asked.
"Park." Gracie said.
"You're not tired from working out?" Seth asked.
"Nope." Gracie said. "Please daddy."
"Oh the puppy eyes." Seth said. "Go get your shoes on and your jacket."
Gracie smiled as Seth set her down and she ran to her room.
"I got this." Seth said. "You wanna come?"
"Sure." Josh said.
"Free time, Hmm what shall I do?" Becky said.
"Pack we leave Friday." Seth said smiling.
Becky rolled her eyes and giggled.
"Ready." Gracie said.
"Okay, park time with Gracie and Joshy." Seth said.
"Yay." Gracie said. "Come on Uncle Josh, time to play."
She grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the door.
After they left Becky finished cleaning up the dishes before walking into her room.
"Hey." Becky said answering the video call from Charlotte.
"Hey, so I was just told Sasha and Bayley are looking to change their team." Charlotte said. "I guess they are throwing a fit over the fact that we brought in people from other brands."
"I bet you anything they want to replace some of their team I am thinking Mandy, Ruby and Sarah for the three horsewomen." Becky said.
"That is the rumor." Charlotte said. "I guess we'll talk about it Monday."
"What a joke, always looking for a way to cheat." Becky said. "I tell you I am getting sick of these damn games."
"Me too." Charlotte said. "What are you doing?"
"Packing." Becky said. "Traveling with a three year old mean she needs things."
"True." Charlotte said. "Is she feeling better after her ear infection?"
"She is." Becky said. "I put the anti nausea pills in my travel bag."
"Smart." Charlotte said. "Remember back in the days at NXT before it really started?"
"Yea, what a different time." Becky said.
"Yes." Charlotte said. "I always thought the four of us would be best friends, changing the game and having each other's back, but I guess I was wrong."

"People change and it's sad when they lose themselves to the character." Becky said. "You and I did things so well because we really are best friends and we saw the bigger picture."
"We did." Charlotte said.
"I also think it helped that I was drafted to Smackdown and got away from the insanity of Raw. Smackdown while sixteen years old was like new again with the brand extension. It needed a lot of work to get things stable and moving. You and Sasha feuded intensely for so long it drove her off that edge." Becky said. "Then you were gone and she had to deal with not being the favorite because Bayley and Lexi were there, then Ronda came in and she demolished that lockroom."
"True, Smackdown is a lot smoother then Raw." Charlotte said. "Smaller but smoother."
"It is and it helped that the girls there all trusted each other, we knew we had to work together to make that division the best." Becky said. "When I came to Raw as Champion the locker room was in shambles, no one trusted each other, everyone wants to step on the other to get ahead. Some of the girls are coming back around to the idea that we need to work together but it's been hard with all this animosity with Bayley and Sasha."
"I hear ya, things have changed in the SD side too." Charlotte said. "It's like chaos has settled in and we're in for a long winter."
"I am not afraid of the work to get the locker room back to where it needs to be, but Stephanie emailed me this afternoon and told me Sasha put in a request for another title shot at TLC." Becky said.
"Damn." Charlotte said.
"I feel like I am being stuck with her and it's not what I want." Becky said. "I want more challengers and not repeating the same ones again and again. First it was Lacey and it took three times to get her off me. Natty and I only battled once at SS but TLC will be mine and Sasha's fourth time since her return."
"Do the fans want it?" Charlotte asked.
"Her fans do because they think she's the best and deserves the title, but my fans don't because they know I have earned all my victories and successes. They want me to move on to the next on my list."
"TLC is very close to the wedding too." Charlotte said.
"That is why she is requesting it, feels the champ should be on Raw and not away getting married." Becky said. "I am only missing one Raw and that is on the 23 which is a week after TLC."
"Well tell Stephanie who you want to face." Charlotte said.
"I have, she is looking into it all." Becky said.
"I still can't believe how much they've changed, it's like they aren't the same girls we knew." Charlotte said.
"They aren't but we've changed too." Becky said. "I was the broken toy for so long but not no more, I found a strength and confidence in myself and I raised myself up making all do the same. The fundamentals of who I am are still there, but in that ring I let no one walk over me. As The Queen you have done the same thing and it works for us. We are confident in who we are and we have no doubt."
"True." Charlotte said.
"I get life on Raw wasn't easy and they had to work to bring the tag titles in for the women but they wanted to do that, they fought for it and I know Sasha was going through a lot after Paige's injury took her out and lord knows the fans were not nice to her, but she should've asked for help and not let it turn her into this person." Becky said. "She is more I am the Boss because I don't think she's allowed herself to heal from it all, she's rooted in the pain because it's an easy path to fallow, which is why she thinks I stole what should've been hers."
"But you were on the rise on SD since you came back from filming at the beginning of 2018." Charlotte said.
"I was, I was doing my own thing going for gold on Smackdown, but at that time things were about Ronda on Raw and she was working to bring the tag titles in. So she was lost in the shuffle, we have all been there. She doesn't get why my story connects so well with the universe is we've all been over looked and had opportunities taken by others, but I earned my victories, I earned my shot at the titles and I earned my wins."
"You did." Charlotte said. "As TQ I wanted to stop you but as me, I was rooting harder then anyone."
"I really hope she can get over herself soon, this is not a good environment to be in." Becky said.
"I hear ya." Charlotte said. "I still don't get why Bayley is doing what she is doing."
"Loyalty can be a toxic thing." Becky said. "I get she felt I was over shadowing her and it was never my intent to do so. I was so proud of the Smackdown women's division, I knew it was strong because I spent three years building it. So she felt she needed to be loyal to Sasha and used my rise as her reasoning for doing so, that I was putting people behind me when I wasn't. I have done nothing but beg these women to stand up and fight."
"I just want things to be civil." Charlotte said. "I get if they changed and they don't want to be friends but be professional."
"I agree." Becky said. "Just try not to dwell on it, put work in a box and do something else, make out with that guy of yours."
"Si, Si." Andrade said from the back ground.
"Okay, see you Monday." Charlotte said.
"Take care of Xia at your lives." Becky said.
"I will, Carmella is working with her." Charlotte said.
"Good." Becky said. "Have fun."
Charlotte smiled before shutting off the call and Becky finished packing.

Cycles of Ruin
Civilizations rise and fall. Kith build them up and monsters, led by powerful dungeon keepers, bring them to ruin. For three thousand years the cycle has been maintained by the Guild of Chaos and its endless hordes of minions who—in absence of their long lost creators—have taken it upon themselves to keep the realms of the universe in balance. The Guild has grown efficient at this task, but some among its ranks have begun to ponder the utility of a universe that has been robbed of the very possibility of change. Basil von Doom is one such dungeon keeper working for the Guild, leading an army of loyal minions from one conquest to the next; burning civilizations and sifting through the ruins in search of forbidden knowledge that the races of kith were never meant to possess. But having spent more than half a century in pursuit of glory and fame—trying to live up to the legacy of his father—Basil has grown indifferent towards his work. Desperate for a worthy challenge, but bound by his duties as a dungeon keeper, he has turned his mind towards uncovering the ultimate fate of the previous master of his house and the secrets that were buried with him. Now the young Master of House Doom must balance his growing interest in pursuing the trail of his father with the responsibilities that come with running a dungeon in service to the Guild of Chaos. To remain in good standing with the Guild, Basil has even accepted the task of mentoring an apprentice dungeon keeper, a young succubus named Elnora. It is at the tail end of her apprenticeship that the story begins; with a civilization poised to fall—its greatest heroes gathering for one last assault on the heart of darkness—and Basil striking up a conversation with his apprentice that will set into motion the unraveling of the universe. ***This is a rewrite and continuation of my story that was first posted on RoyalRoad a few years ago.
