“Cody? What are you doing?” she asked, barely awake.

“Carmen baby, You passed out up here last night. Don't worry, I slept on the couch.” Cody said, smiling a little. “I made you some breakfast.”

“Oh, you shouldn't have.” Carmen replied as she got up on her elbow and wiped the sleep from her eye. “French toast. How did you...”

“You told me once.”

“And you remembered?”

Cody smiled, “of course I did.”

“Well, you didn't have to...”

“Yes, I did. You deserve it after all the shit that has happened.”

“Cody...”

Cody stood up and smiled, leaning down and kissing her on the forehead. “I love you.”

“I love you to Cody.”

“I hope I can make everything up to you.”

“Keep doing this and you might make it up to me a lot faster.” Carmen said with sarcasm in her voice. She leaned over and started eating as Cody left the room and went back downstairs. He cleaned up the kitchen and got the mail by the time Carmen had come downstairs. He smiled at her and flopped on the couch where he had been sleeping the night before and opened an envelope. He read the letter, snorted, then tossed it aside. Carmen walked into the living room and smiled at Cody. He looked at her in awe, as she was wearing nothing but his old Vancouver Canucks jersey.

“I hope you don't mind me wearing this...” she said with a smirk.

“N-n-no.” Cody uttered.

“Okay, good. I'm going to take a shower okay?”

“Sure, I mean hell, we both live here.”

“And I just realized that the clothes I have here are dirty. You think you could wash some up ?”

“Consider it done.” Cody interrupted. Carmen nodded and smiled, running off upstairs shower as Cody stood up and cracked his neck. He walked over to the phone and grabbed the cordless, flopping on the couch again. He started looking through the yellow pages, and in a few moments found what he was looking for.

“Hello. Bridges restaurant, how can I help you?” The lady on the other end answered.

“Hi. I would like to reserve a table for two for 8:30 pm tomorrow night.” Cody replied.

“For whom is this reservation for, sir?”

“Carson-.”

“Smoking or non-smoking?”

“Non-smoking.”

“Okay. Thank you for calling Bridges. Bye.”

Cody hung up the phone and smiled. Before he had a chance to walk away the phone rang. Cody picked it up. “Hello?” He answered.

“Cody, man, where the fuck are you?”

“Manson?”

“Yeah, numb-nuts.”

“My nuts are fully active. Anyway, what the fuck do you want?" Cody asked, fearing for the worst.

"Dude, we have thats thing, you know."

"Oh, the thing." Cody Answered having no clue what he's talkign about. "Yeah know, because we all know what the thing is."

"Its something to do man. Its at that place..."

"Michael, do you ever know what the hell your talking about?" Cody questioned.

"Not a clue." Michael admitted. "But I had it written down that we had to do something on this day."

Cody thought for a few minutes then spoke up. "A pressentation, at a high school."

"Yeah, Thats it." Mike said as he remembered."Something about how fighting is wrong."

"Shit man, They where smart, get to the the baddest motherfuckers in the business of wrestling to come and talk about how fighting is wrong."

"No shit."

"Wait, how did you get my house number, i thought you only had my cell?"

"I seen carmen in the back the other day, she told me."

"Ah." Cody paused. "Dude, by the way... Thanks, yuou know for coming down..."

"We're a team man, Thats what he do." Manson sighed and then chuckled. "Thank God for you sister inlaw eh? Holy shit, I got to stop hangin with you, I'm getting teh canadian shit stuck in my head."

Cody laughed. "Yeah, trust me man, that crow bar is real, and it hurts." Cody winced. "I have felt it meat my skull."

"Damn." Manson said with pain. "I wouldn't want to piss her off."

"Dude, I have heard stories of her's and Seth's basement, came very close to being put in it. Its a fucking torture chamber." Cody laughes as he hears Manson gulp. "Dude, don't worry, Jalie is a bitch but as long as your with me, and I'm on her good side, you won't get hurt to much."

"If she's so bad why aren't you dead?"

"What do you mean?"

"The whole Brandi thing?"

"Carmen loves me." Cody paused. "And jalie wouldn't hurt her sister."

"Well Dude, Just get there... I don't want to do this shit with out you."

Cody's face rinckles up. "Why?"

"Because dude, You have this starge way of lightening every thing."

"Michael Mason, Complementing me, on something other then wresting skills... I think i might faint."

"HA HA." Mason sarcastically laughed. "I'll see you later."

"Maybe." Cody Replied.

"Bring Carmen if you want. The more the marrieor."

"Ight. Peace."

"Later."

Cody hung up teh phone and turned around. Carmen is standing there in a pair of his PJ pants and his jersey. "So, who was that?" She asked, and Shook the water out of her black hair.

"Mason." Cody replied. "I got a promotion thing at a school about how fighting and drugs and all that shit is wrong."

Carmen giggles.

"Yeah yeah, I know." Cody replied knowing what shes thinking.

He leaned in and the two greezed each other cheeks with each other lips and Cody whispered into her ear. "Your comin to."

Carmen smiled and pushed away, giving him a peck on the lips then turned and walked upstairs.

The Gym was packed with middle school and high school kids. Michael Mason stood behind the curtain and smiled as Cody Carson and Carmen Dumas finally walked though the doors to the back of the school gym. With his naturally quick pace he walked up to them. "About time."

"Lick my Testicals."

Mason smiled "Isn't thats what she's for."

Before Cody could say anything, Carmen dumas elbowed Manson in the stomach. Manson gave her a light shot in the ribs and Cody shook his head. "Asshole."

"Bitch." Mason Replied to Carmen.

"Scrotum sucker."

"Rug muncher."

"Cum Guzzler." Carmen replied, not wanting to be out done.

Before manson can reply a man walked up to the trio and interupted their play. "You guys will be on in about five minutes. You got your lines?"

"Lines?" Cody Questioned. "Sorry man, i don't do lines. I am free speak all the way."

"No, You will do your lines."

"No." Cody said bluntly.

"Yes."

"Listen here you racoon fucking imbasul. These kids deserve to know exactly what the hell I think and I'm not readin some two bit disk jockys lines for anyone. So you can go fuck yourself."

The man looks a little flusterd but gave in. "Fine, I don't care. But Can you please watch your mouth."

"Fuck you." Manson and Carson said in unison.

"Get bent." Carmen added and both Manson and Cody stare at her. "What?"

The smile and shake their head. Carmen walks over and gets between the two. Cody grabs his arm around her shoulder manson back off a bit, taking a step to the side. Carmen moves away from cody and wraps her arms around Manson. Cody looks at her and she stick her tongue out at him. Cody smiles. And Manson holds his hands up in the air. "Cody, You see my hand man."

"Shut up and give me a hug." Carmen said interupting him.

"But..." Cody nods at Manson and her gives Carmen a hug, picking her up and spinning. Then setting her back down. "Since when did you start liking me this much?"

"Since you proved to be as loyal as Cody said you where."

"Huh?"

"Last week you came down with teh odds against you, to save his ass, and mine. So, that proved to me that you are loyal."

"You didn't think I was?" Manson asked sounding a bit affended.

"No, its not like that. Just with every one turning since Cody became World Champion, and you are world champion material, I was just hoping you didn't pull a Cantina or Rumbler."

"So you didn't trust me?"

"Yes... I mean NO."

Cody and Manson exchange glance and cody smiles knowing Manson is pulling her chain.

"Well, Is it yes or no?"

"Yes."

"So yes, you didn't trust me."

"No."

"So no you don't trust me."

Carmen is flush and manson can't hold back the laugh. His laugher stops quickly as a straight and Hard elbow knocks the wind out of him.

"Damn." Cody said as Manson doubled over.

"And you" Carmen said as she walked toward Cody.

Suddenly, Carson is saved as the curtain come open and the lights hit them. Cody smirks and carmen stops in mid step. "I'll deal with you later." She whispered.

"OWW... KINKY." Cody whispered.

"Ladies and gentelmen, Give it up for AWA's Own Cody Carson, Carmen Dumas and Michael Manson..." A man in a tie, and a brown suit said. HE was a bald man, with grey hair coming down his neck and an black mustache.

All the kids clapped and cheered as Cody carson, Michael Manson and Carmen Dumas all appeard on stage. Every one suddenly went quiet and the goofy looking guy in the brown suit started to talk again.

"I told you it was great guest, didn't I?" The man started making himself feel good. "Now, I will let Cody and the gang take..."

"Shut you mouth slappy." Cody said getting a huge pop from the kids. "We're here today to talk to you guys about fighting, drugs and all the great shit."

"But don't worry, We aren't like some of your teacher, we won't preach to you." Manson added. "I hated that most."

"Your damn right, 'Oh dris are so bad...' the teachers punch that into your head every day, but back in there day they where the ones smokin thats hit up. They where the walks walking around like... I love you man." Cody started. "I'm not telling you not to do them, and I'm not tellign you to do them, but really, you have to make that choice yourself. If you want to go out and smoke some weed, go for it." COdy gets teh group in teh back hooting for him. "You you want to experiment with it, Go for it. Just don't knock in unless you tried it."

Carmen looked at cody shocked. Cody Looked at her and shugged his shoulder. "Well, personally, I think taht you shouldn't need drugs to get though the day... But some people do so, Whatever."

"Lets do a pole." Manson started. "Who in here has done something to get a buzz?" Only a few people and the hole back row put up their hands. "You all are fucking liars. We do things every day to get a buzz. For some people doing work is getting a buzz. Its a rush of energy."

Cody sighs. "Next topic is..."

"Sex." Carmen said all the boys heads whip to Carmen.

"I think every male in the crowd needs a bib." Manson added as he leaned back from his mic and talked to cody.

"Sex can be fun, painful and loving." Carmen started.

"Kinky." Came a scream from the crowd and everyone laughed.

"That to." Carmen added with a smile. "But really, sex is more fun then anything. I mean ladies, remeber teh first time that you got to control you boy friend, Trie him to the bed and do what ever you want to him." Carmen looked over her shoulder. "You rememebr right hunny." Cody goes a little red and nods. "When I tied you up and made you my own little..."

" You should stop right there. We don't need any guys popping anythign now do we?"

"Fair enough." Carmen stated and a groan went out in the crowd. "Sorry guys. But sex can be the best thing in your life. So many people put sex down but if you can have fun with it, nothing is wrong with it."

"I think thats enough about sex." The man with teh stupid brown suit said.

"But i'm not done."

"YEah, Shes not Done." Came a scream.

"I guess you guys and girls can talk to her after the presntation. But we have to get moving onto our last subject. Fighting." Cody stated.

"Yes, listen to this man, fighting is wrong." The man in the suit said.

"What the hell are you talkign about you fucking idiot? Fighting isn't wrong, Fighting is what I do. Fighting can be wrong. Like your you some big Jock Guy beating teh shit out of a little nerd..." A Big Jock guys stops punchign the little nerd and looks at Cody.

"OR if your beating the shit out of them in a gang." A Gang of kids stop booting a poor kid and look at Mason.

"Or if you beating them for no beating them for no reason." A coupel fo kids exchanging punches stop and look at Carmen.

"But other then at, go for it." Cody added at the last minute.

Suddenly the Music, We're not gonna Take it hits and everyone starts beating teh shit out of each other. Carson, Carmen, And Manson all turna nd walk off the stage as people start throwing chairs.

"I think we made a big impact today." Cody said.

"That we did." Mason added.

"That we did." Carmen added, looking over her shoulder. "How much of an impact we made..."
