“Lights, Camera, Action”
Austin Ramsey: “You ready to do this all over again, Baby?”
Austin is holding Todrick’s hand and leans over and kisses his wife on the cheek to calm her nerves. She bats her eyes at him and smiles.
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “I was born ready, my love.”
The two begin to make their way into the crowd, and as people take notice, the cheers begin to ring throughout the arena. This was a complete shock to the fans and was well received. Austin is in full hunter mode, and Toddy smiles and waves at the crowd. They get to the guard rail, and Austin releases Toddy’s hand. They look at each other and nod, and hop the barricade. The crowd is roaring, it all melts away, and time appears to stand still.
Toddy is lost in her thoughts. “This is it. I can’t believe we are officially back in OPW. This feels good; it feels right. The lights, the cameras, and the action. I’m ready to climb this mountain with my husband by my side. I get to give him the tag team he wanted for such a long time. Let’s get this done; time to send Caffeine Mafia a message. Unfortunately, we have to send it through Paul Montuori, but it must be done. It's not personal, just business.”
Austin and Toddy slowly advance, nodding at her, and they rush Paul inside the ring. He is screaming wait, wait, wait and bam, Austin nails him with the back of his elbow in the throat. Todrick shows she still has her flexibility as she simultaneously goes low and sweeps Paul’s legs out from under him, and they seal the deal with their version of the Total Elimination Tag Team Finisher. The crowd is deafening, and Toddy sees Miss Michelle furious and starting to storm back towards the ring. She has other problems as Roger Wright takes her out.
Todrick saunters over to her husband and raises his hand in the air. They use their free hand to signify they are coming for the OPW Immortal Tag Team Championships. Austin holds the ropes open, and she steps through them. The two share a quick kiss and exit the same way they arrived. They high-five the fans, and once they get to the back, Austin picks her up and spins her. She looks into his bright green eyes and sees the love and excitement there. She smiles at him and leans down, and kisses him again.
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “I love you, Austin Ramsey. The look in your eyes is everything, and I’m happy to share this moment with you.”
Austin Ramsey: “Thank you for this, my love. I know that you have this crazy momentum behind you right now. You were the first to cleanly pin Chris Page before FIGHT closed, making you a massive draw to any company. You held the Manhattan Championship for a very long time, showing the world what you are capable of. But you chose me. That’s not something I take lightly.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Look, you have always put me first in our relationship. I lost sight of that and was ashamed when you pointed it out. You never say no to me, but this is 50/50 in that ring as a tag team and our marriage. We have come a long way, and this journey in OPW starts with the message we just sent, and Caffeine Mafia was definitely watching. I’m in this with you; that is all that matters.”
Austin takes her hand and kisses it.
Austin Ramsey: “With you by my side, there is nothing I can’t do. Let’s get out of here. I wanna listen to the twins' heartbeats again.”
Austin and Todrick collect their belongings and leave the building.

“Coming Down From The High Part I”
Austin walks into the kitchen with a grin on his face. Todrick is washing dishes, and he walks up to her and slaps her ample rear end.
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Boy, don’t come in here starting something you can’t finish.”
Todrick giggles, and Austin grabs her waist from behind and holds her tight. He slowly sways with her.
Austin Ramsey: “Hey Baby, guess what?”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Chicken Butt?”
Austin Ramsey: “Hehehe, no, silly. OPW posted the new match card for BeDLaM@thaBARKLaYZ. And guess what else?”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “You have a big match?”
Austin Ramsey: “I don’t, but you do. You are facing AdrennaLynn, and if you win, we get to challenge The Caffeine Mafia for a shot at the Immortal Tag Team Championships at SHoWCa$e 36.”
Todrick spins around and sees the warm smile on Austin’s face. She holds her arms around his shoulders as he continues holding her waist.
Austin Ramsey: “Guess that means we are getting a shot at those titles because I know you will win this. This chick is known for talking about coffee highs, and we both know that you crash when you come down off of that high you crash. And if there is one thing you know how to do is knock a bitch off their high horse, and you look so fucking sexy when you do it.”
Todrick remains silent, and Austin’s eyes search hers. She, in turn, was searching his to see if he was disappointed that he didn’t have a match. She quickly dismissed that thought from her mind as she could see how happy he was. He truly meant everything he had just said to her.
Austin Ramsey: “You gonna say something, woman? Oh, you want me to use my special skills to get it out of you?”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “I’m just at a loss for words. I know we made a big impact with our return, but I didn’t imagine we’d be here so quickly. I’m beyond grateful and ready to send Little Miss Coffee Drip on the fastest caffeine crash anyone has ever witnessed. Well, I guess I need to address my Rockstars. Will you help me?”
Austin Ramsey: “Do we need to do it right this minute? Cause I got something else on my mind.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Oh, I know, I can feel what’s on your mind. What else is new? I suppose I will give my king his crown. Shall we?”
Austin Ramsey: “Oh word? But I don’t want to go upstairs.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “No, Austin, your dumb dogs watch us, and that creeps me out. Plus, you know Sam Chatman will be here in a few hours, and I’ve already cleaned up.”
Austin grabs her hand and pulls her as he walks toward the steps. They enter the bedroom and shut the door. It reopens, and Duke and Domino are shooed away by their father as he puts them out of the room.

“Coming Down From The High Part I”
Austin, Todrick, and Sam park outside the coffee shop, and Austin holds the door open for Todrick but closes it in Sam’s face and laughs as he does it. Sam shakes his head, rolls up on Austin, and quietly whispers, “Fuck you, Lil Dude” Austin is quite pleased with himself, but he knows not to let Toddy see or hear. So he whispers back, “Shut up, Chatman.” The two quietly laugh, and Toddy orders several different types of coffee drinks. The men help her take them all to the table in the corner where they can film and not be disturbed. Sam Chatman takes Todrick’s phone and goes live.
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Hey, Rockstars, it’s your girl Toddy here, and honey, she is back. I know y’all saw this war goddess make her triumphant return next to the god of war standing next to me. So in case, we didn’t make it clear last week, we are coming for the OPW Immortal Tag Team Championships that are currently held by this Hodge podge team of a knock-off Young Avenger team of Squirrel Girl and Echo, the two that no one talks about and Marvel takes pity on them. They usually get one line per comic, which is not whom we want to represent those championships. It would be best if you had a team that would roar. You need a team that makes sense, and you need a powerhouse duo like Scarlett Witch and Vision.
This week I will show hyper Squirrel Girl what happens when you come down off the caffeine high you cling to. Little Ms. Drip Drip will see what it’s like dealing with unlimited raw power and ability. But today, we are here at this coffee shop to see just what is so special about her go-go juice. Let’s begin, this one is a cold one, like, it’s giving me the same energy of all of her promos that I’ve watched, but Austin, be a dear and try the iced latte.”
Austin takes a sip of the coffee and makes an ugly face as he spits it back into the cup and shakes his head no.
Austin Ramsey: “Bland”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Thank you, Gordon; I meant Austin. But she is a bit bland, and I haven’t seen anything spicy about her at all. I actually watched some of her work, and I needed an energy drink to get through it. There really is nothing interesting about her, is there? Not all caffeine is good caffeine, but let’s move on. Let’s try a hot one; this one is called Flat White.”
Austin takes a sip and clearly isn’t pleased with it. He is channeling Gordon Ramsay, spitting it out and wiping his tongue.
Austin Ramsey: “Tasting this one reminds me, I’ve had a lot of success; I’ve had failures, so I learn from failures.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Failure is exactly what the coffee that Oprah rejected will experience this week. Honey, I have faced the best that this business has to offer, and I sent them all packing. You little squirrel are looking to hold on to a nut that never belonged to you. I’ve had bowel movements that are more interesting than you, and your I need coffee bullshit. Your entire existence is dryer than the walls of you and your partner combined, and that’s saying something. Austin next flavor, please.”
Austin picks up a cup labeled Magic and takes a sip. He begins choking and looks angry.
Austin Ramsey: “My industry, I’m sorry to say, is full of muppets.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Magic, well, if I am the Scarlett Witch, I am one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse. Do you really expect this basic trollop to be able to hold a candle to me? I’ve allowed everyone here to tolerate her average at best performances. And she has exhausted my patience. But I do hope you all understand that even now, what I’m about to do to her, is me be REASONABLE.
Austin Ramsey: “Well then, Wanda, let’s defend our home.”
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “Little girl, I’m about to expose you to the word for exactly what you are. You don’t deserve to carry that championship because there is nothing significant about you and your partner, whom I’ve bested before, and probably ran out of FIGHT!NYC. You have no magic when it comes to your in-ring ability and what little you have; remember that only the witch that cast the runes can use her magic; you were defeated before you began. I won’t be sorry; when we are done, I’ll give you the role you desire in this story. You aren’t facing a girl that something was just awakened in, I’ve been awake, and I don’t need caffeine to get through every obstacle.
I’m the girl that you look at when that caffeine high drops, and you know that you are done. You are the coffee that is dumped down the drain before the shop closes, and you know it. I’ll remind you of your role in this hierarchy. You may feel like you are that girl, but you have never been that girl. You will never be that girl, and I will see to it. You are dismissed to your existence in mediocrity.”
Austin slowly turns his head like Stewie Griffin and looks at Todrick. She stands there looking at the camera with arrogance and confidence. Austin smiles and shrugs his shoulders as Sam ends the live broadcast.
Austin Ramsey: “Gawd damn, Babe. I like this girl a lot. I felt like you channeled me in there. Well, One of the 28 in the collective. Hehehe.
Todrick Tabor-Ramsey: “I told you, we are one when it comes to this team. One voice, one sound, one mind. We are the team to beat.
Samuel Chatman: “Alright, you two, before you get all mushy and shit, let’s go home and edit this.
The three laugh and head out of the coffee shop, and the scene fades to black.
