P.A.3.K.'s room
Tegan's House
Orlando, Florida
5AM

P.A.3.K. woke up as he was still in a shirt and jersey shorts. He was about to start his morning workouts and stretches but a thought suddenly came into mind as he sent a DM to Tegan's Instagram account.

PA3KRW: Hey Steff, morning over there. You up?

P.A.3.K. shrugged his shoulders as he tried but did some stretching on his own, but his phone sounded off as he saw the notification from Tegan.

tegannoxwwe_: Oh, I'm already up and going to do a little workout before lunch. I bet you wanna do this with the camera on? 😉

PA3KRW: Well...if you're okay with bed hair me...

tegannoxwwe_: Oh tosh you look great even with messy hair. It shows intensity

He blushed at her comment then began to start the video chat with Tegan. Tegan answered and showed the bright sunny day over at Wales since it was 10AM there.

Tegan: Morning to ya!

P.A.3.K.: Glad to see you all smiley *waves*

Tegan: Awww don't be glum. Tegan's here to cheer ya up!

P.A.3.K.: You can use your real name, Steff *chuckles*

Tegan: Don't wanna *smirks and smiles* Want to work out with me?

P.A.3.K.: Yeah, sure! Like to start the day with that.

Tegan: Just bear with me. You know I still have a recovering knee...

P.A.3.K.: I know Shiny one.

Tegan: *blushes* Hey you plonker! 

P.A.3.K.: Alright Steff *chuckles*

Tegan: Let's start with some weights yeah?

P.A.3.K.: Alright, brought these from my house.

Tegan: Oh... well... *shouts to her sister* Hey, mind if I borrow your bubba for a minute?

Tegan's Sister: Yeah Steff. Just be careful with him!

P.A.3.K.: Bubba?

He found out what she meant by bubba as Tegan's sister handed her her baby.

Tegan: *to her baby nephew* You'll help Aunty Steffie get back into shape *brings her face close to his* yes you will! yes you will!

The infant, not knowing he will be used as a makeshift weight, gleefully clapped and smiled.

Tegan: *to her nephew* good little bubba. *back to P.A.3.K.* Shocked?

P.A.3.K. was surprised and a bit ammused seeing Tegan bring out her maternal instincts on camera and maybe unknowingly for him. 

P.A.3.K.: So you'll curl with that baby?

Tegan: *smiles* Yeah, but the bubba doesn't mind now. 

The two then began doing bicep curls, with P.A.3.K. using traditional 10 lbs. weights while Tegan used her infant nephew as a makeshift weight with both hands securing it and making faces at him while lifting him. They finished their curls as P.A.3.K. used this chance to see Tegan's glow from beyond the screen.

P.A.3.K.: You sure are good with kids *chuckles*

Tegan: What they get for having Auntie Steffanie around *giggles*

Tegan's Sister: *walks into frame* my son, please?

Tegan: Oh boo! *giggles* here you go 

Tegan hands back her nephew to her sister as P.A.3.K. can no longer hold his chuckling and laughed. Tegan noticed this and pouted.

Tegan: Kick rocks! *pouts*

P.A.3.K. Hey, I asked for the video call to make you feel like you still have me by your side there. 

Tegan: Alright alright *surrenders by giggling* sorry about that. But I bet that worked up a sweat for you.

P.A.3.K.: Yeah, it did. 

Tegan: Responding like me again, Pat?

P.A.3.K. blushed as Tegan giggled at this form of revenge. He gave in.

P.A.3.K.: *smiles* It grew on me

Tegan: Such a daft plonker *giggles* So *sits down* What do you have planned today?

P.A.3.K.: Just some rest due to that attack from Chris (Kassius Ohno) yesterday. Also have a match against the man next week.

Tegan: Oh yeah, finally some closure.

P.A.3.K.: I wouldn't say that. But...

As he was about to say something, his stomach grumbled as he clutched onto it. Tegan giggled.

Tegan: I'm guessing my reliable house sitter is hungry?

P.A.3.K.: Well, we can do some more exercises at home. 

Tegan: Funny you mentioned that. Want to do some with me? I was taught some by the trainers here over by the medical team affiliated with NXT UK.

P.A.3.K.: Sure, I need to stretch the legs too.

Tegan then began to reposition the phone so her whole body somehow fits to the frame. P.A.3.K. did the same as they did some stretching, in Tegan's case she did some heel slides. PA.3.K. saw her wincing but for Tegan, she is trying to get the knee working for her and she did.

P.A.3.K. was also doing some heel slides even if he wasn't injured but it helps to loosen some joints and tightness by the thighs. While P.A.3.K. does some squats, Tegan does half squats as well. This went on until both were laying on the ground and breathing.

Tegan: Did that make the big bubba hungry?

P.A.3.K. was looking around the room and on her feed wondering what she meant.

P.A.3.K.: Wait, another nephew of yours entered your frame?

Tegan: *giggles* No, I meant... *blushes* you! 

P.A.3.K.: Well, that ....certainly...*blushes* oh geez *hiding his cheeks*

Tegan blushed as much too seeing her finally get her friend like this.

Tegan: Very interesting. Wears his heart on his sleeve.

Tegan: Earth to Patrick yoohoo? *waves*

P.A.3.K. was brought back to Florida after that blushing and he said

P.A.3.K.: Sorry, what was that?

Tegan: Plonker *giggles*

Tegan's Nephew: Aunty Steffanie, it's almost time for lunch.

Tegan: *to the nephew* Auntie's comin' don't get you knickers in a twist there.

As Tegan got up, P.A.3.K. saw Tegan's pronounced shapely behind through the sport shorts as he felt a bit of a warm feeling.

P.A.3.K.: Did she intend for me to see her...oh no no no. We're just friends.

Tegan then grabbed the phone as she wore a pout.

Tegan: Sadly, I will have to let you go first. *pouts*

P.A.3.K.: Awww, well I need to prepare for breakfast so best we call each other later?

Tegan: *smiles* Yeah. Later!

The two ended the call as P.A.3.K. began to prepare his breakfast and also fed Marvel and Blue. Tegan on the other hand had to prepare and have lunch with her family.

Timeskip to after lunch in Orlando
P.A.3.K. spent the rest of the morning letting Marvel and Blue out at the yard while he logged in some minutes for Call of Duty. He only had a light lunch as his breakfast compensated for his post-workout meal. He was able to let the dogs in and pet them until he got a call from Tegan again.

tegannoxwwe_ wants to video call

Without any hesitation and delay, P.A.3.K. answered the video chat to see Tegan walking back to her room with the TV all set up.

Tegan: Hello there!

P.A.3.K.: Hey, I see someone's skipping dinner? *chuckles*

Tegan: Oh no, I already had tea and supper the same time.

P.A.3.K.: Oh. Oh right. 

Tegan: Yeah, so you may be wondering why I got the Telly on here?

P.A.3.K.: Good question.

Tegan: Have you ever watched Harry Potter?

P.A.3.K.: Well, just Chamber of Secrets. Why?

Tegan: Just that? Oh my gosh! *eyes widening in disbelief*

P.A.3.K.: What's happening?

Tegan: What have you been doing with your life?

P.A.3.K.: Uhh fighting poverty to ensure a better future for myself and family?

Tegan: *facepalms* Well yeah, I know but ...oh right, how were you able to watch Chamber of Secrets?

P.A.3.K.: Well took an interest to it. Also became my gateway into the Harry Potter universe. That and I was unable to catch on after that and I know there were books but I don't have the time and money to get those

Tegan: Ohh no no. Let Headmaster Steffanie Newell take care of that, student Patrick. We will watch together from the start, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. 

P.A.3.K.: Alright, so I see a movie hangout then?

Tegan: Yeah! That and you're talking to one of the Potterheads you will ever come across in life. Also, I got Netflix hooked up on that telly so we can watch together. 

P.A.3.K. did just that and the two began to watch the movie at the same time, albeit with seconds of delay. While P.A.3.K. was watching, Tegan was giggling away reliving her childhood and at the same time, sharing it with a good friend of hers. As the movie ended, P.A.3.K. was all applause while Tegan smirked, knowing she got a potential Potterhead recruited.

Tegan: So I am guessing you loved the movie?

P.A.3.K.: I'm glad I get to watch this all over again, it now made sense why Malfoy now resented Potter. 

Tegan: There's more to that in the books 

P.A.3.K.: I'm guessing there are more movies after Chamber of Secrets

Tegan: Yes! *giggles* but let's let Sorcerer's Stone simmer into your mind. *sighs*

P.A.3.K. noticed the sigh and was concerned.

P.A.3.K.: That sigh is concerning, Steff. Anything coming to mind?

Tegan: I mean, sure, things happen for a reason but I've had longevity outside the WWE. Only in the WWE did I encounter this ACL injury. Am I meant for this place? *tears up*

P.A.3.K. felt a sharp tinge in his heart since he cannot presently be there to physically let her cry on his shoulder but he can only console her even from afar.

P.A.3.K.: Steff, if you weren't meant for this, then why did Regal and Hunter let you go home? 

Tegan: To cut me?

P.A.3.K.: No, you told me this yourself when you broke the news of you going home, to give a boost to NXT UK and recover with your family by your side. I know some days will suck like shit but there will be the days you will pat yourself on the back for the progress that you don't stay in place and wallow in despair. And I want to be one of those you can lean on because you made me see that life isn't all about struggles but the plateaus of normalcy. You told me to live a little too. And I want to tell you the same. With your family by your side and us a call away, you should consider yourself lucky.

Tegan nodded and wiped her tears as she let his words stay on.

Tegan: Yeah, you're right Patrick. Thank you *smiles*

P.A.3.K.: Just doing my job as a friend *chuckles* Plus a smile fits for the Girl with the Shiniest Wizard. 

Tegan: Are you trying to get with me? *giggles*

P.A.3.K.: Oh uhm...uhhh... *blushes*

P.A.3.K.: Shit! What am I doing going so fast?

Tegan noticed the blushing again as she suddenly had in mind

Tegan: Does he...like me more than just as a friend? Well, he is nice but I don't know if it's an act or.... oh tosh!

Tegan: I'm just kidding you cheeky plonker *giggling* but thanks for being there for me. 

P.A.3.K.: Don't mention it. I've never opened up to anyone like this to be honest, but I thank you for the watch along, letting me stay here for a while. I've never met someone with such genuine warmth and sincerity in my life. Usually this sincerity is seen only in politicians come election time then it goes to zilch right after until the next election season.

Tegan: Hey, let me just tell you, my warmth, sincerity and empathy go beyond me letting you stay there and watch the house as well as take care of my doggos. I just found someone as genuine, sinere and considerate as I am and that is you. 

P.A.3.K.: Uhm, thanks I guess.... *blushing*

Tegan: Well I'm glad you liked that Harry Potter taster because we will watch the other movies next time because I have to go out with the family for a reunion since I only came home after a year. I won't be able to call back right after if that's oka...

P.A.3.K.: Hey, it's fine with me, spend time with your family. That's also why you're there in Wales apart from recovery.

Tegan: Thanks. Until the next call then? 

P.A.3.K.: Yes, Good night over there!

Tegan: Good afternoon and well..good night in advance *smiles*

Both turn off the video chat and end the call as Tegan prepared for her family reunion while P.A.3.K. rested up the rest of the day.
