Chapter 6: Pet Play Date
(Friday)
Alex and Mike just finished working on more financial statements for small local companies. Alex was on the computer while Mike was playing games on his phone.
Alex found an article from Forbes focusing on the WWE and their declining profit.
Alex: ouch, this is gotta hurt
Mike: what's going on?
Alex: WWE's profit hits an all time low at $900 million
Mike: ouch, they really need to get audited
Alex: well you know Vince and his "creative ideas" of desperately getting profit and ratings to increase
Mike: why won't Triple H take over? He has more creativity than that old man
Alex: dude, Vince is not just the problem
Mike: what else?
Alex: it's his idiot right hand man, Kevin Dunn
Mike: is he the idiot behind all that same old crap we see every week?
Alex: yup, that's the guy
Mike: no wonder why WWE is getting worse and worse
Alex: sooner or later dude, WWE will need our help
Mike: and our first rule of advice is to remove Vince and Dunn from position
Alex: but as accountants, we need to give them financial advice as well
Mike: true
Then Alex's phone rang, notifying that he got a message.
Mike: I bet that's Alexa Bliss
Alex: how much you want to bet?
Mike: $100
Alex: deal, we're rich anyway
He got out his phone and looked at the text message.
Alex: damn it
Mike: it's Alexa isn't it? Where's my $100 boy?
Alex got a $100 bill from his wallet and gave it to Mike.
Mike: thank you for your service
Alex: shut up, dude
Mike: alright, what does Little Miss Bliss want?
Alex: she said...
Lexi: Alex! Today is Friday, so are we still up for my pets to meet your husky dog?
Mike: aww, a little play date with your pets
Alex replied back to Lexi.
Alex: bring your zoo over to my house; here's the address...
A few seconds later, Lexi replied back.
Lexi: okay, we'll see you later! X
Alex: well, I have a pet play date with Lexi later
Mike: you think you two will be together?
Alex: easy there Michael, we're taking it slow
Mike: alright man; hey, have you watched All Elite Wrestling's Double or Nothing?
Alex: Jon freakin' Moxley!
Mike: Cody and the Young Bucks did an excellent job
Alex: you know their investor, Tony Khan?
Mike: yeah
Alex: he's a huge wrestling fan and he earns double than Vince ever earned
Mike: damn, a businessman who is a huge wrestling fan
Alex: like you, me and Julio
Mike: AEW is a huge competitor to WWE
Alex: and our stock price is way up there than WWE
Mike: what's WWE's current stock price?
Alex: 72.74
Mike: huh, compared to our 520.20
Alex: they'll need an accountant's help
Mike: we'll just hope that phone rings.
Alex: yeah. Now I want to see what made WWE's profit and ratings to decrease besides the idiot executives
Alex went back on the computer to read the Forbes article.
Alex: oh, the one main reason of WWE's low profit... the Saudi Arabia deal
Mike: oh, they have been going down since Greatest Royal Rumble last year
Alex: all because Vince McMahon wants the money
Mike shook his head.
Alex: listen to this one, remember Crown Jewel?
Mike: oh my god, that waste of time event?
Alex: it was rated worst than WrestleMania 32 because of Shane McMahon and the World Cup tournament and Brock Lesnar winning the Universal title.
Mike: aren't they having another event this year at Saudi?
Alex: yup, and it's this Friday, Super Show-Down
Mike: you gonna watch?
Alex: just watching for Undertaker-Goldberg and Orton-Triple H
Mike: I'll just rewatch NXT Takeover: XXV
The two boys relaxed and went back to their gadgets.
(2 hours later)
It was already the end of another work day and Alex rushed home to prepare for his pet play date with Lexi.
(At Alex's home)
Alex came home to a happy bark from Ezio.
Alex: hey boy
He petted his furry companion.
Alex: boy, you have to get ready, we have visitors!
Ezio wagged his tail and let out his happy tongue. Alex gave the husky dog a good bath.
Alex prepared some snacks for Lexi and her zoo while Ezio watched happily.
Alex: I know you're excited, boy; but wait for a little longer; here have something to eat first while you wait
He tossed a piece of meat to Ezio and the dog happily ate it.
Then Alex heard a knock from the door.
Alex: that must be them
Alex went to the front door and opened to see Lexi with Frankie, Izzy, Teddy and Larry Steve.
Alex: hi Lexi!
Lexi: Alex!
The two hugged each other. Then Alex bent down to greet the zoo.
Alex: hey, how you guys doing?
The dogs and pig greeted Alex.
Alex: come in and welcome to my house
Lexi: nice place you have here, Alex
Alex: thanks
Lexi: as I got dropped off, I saw a sports car parked in your garage, is that yours?
Alex: yup, that's my dream car
Then they heard a excited and happy bark from Ezio as the husky came running in and greeted Lexi by standing on his hind legs.
Lexi: aww, this must be Ezio
She said as she happily pet him.
Alex: I could call Ezio, the friendliest husky dog in the world
Lexi: I can see that
Ezio got down and joined with Lexi's zoo. The three dogs and pig happily welcomed Ezio into their group.
Alex: they got along quick
Lexi and Alex watched as the zoo played and ran around the living room.
Lexi: so adorable
Alex: hey, we also have a movie date you know
Lexi: oh yeah, you're gonna introduce me to Godzilla
Alex: yeah, so make yourself comfortable and I'll go get the snacks.
Lexi sat down and watched the animals playing. Alex came back with a big bowl of popcorn.
Alex: alright, ready for the King of the Monsters?
Lexi: yes!
Alex went on to his Netflix account and selected Godzilla (2014).
About 30 minutes in, the movie showed Godzilla for the first time.
Lexi: dang, that's him?
Alex: the king himself
Lexi: he looks like a giant lizard dinosaur
Alex chuckled.
An hour into the movie, Lexi laid her head on Alex's shoulder. Then he put his arm around her to make her comfy. Lexi smiled and snuggled up to Alex. Then Alex took the opportunity to plant a kiss on top of her head which made her blush.
As Godzilla finished, Lexi gave her review.
Lexi: not bad, I like it
Alex: I'm glad you liked the movie
Then they saw the animals fast asleep.
Alex: aww, look at them
Lexi: I'm gonna take a picture of this
The Goddess took a picture of Izzy, Teddy, Frankie, Larry Steve and Ezio all sleeping together on the carpet.
Alex: it's already late Lex, I don't think it's safe to go home on your own
Lexi: yeah, is it okay if I can sleep here for the night?
Alex: sure no problem, I'll take you to the bed
The two went up to the spare bedroom.
Alex: here you go
Lexi: thanks Alex
She hugged him.
Alex: good night, Lex
Lexi: good night!
Alex went to his bedroom and slept.
Meanwhile, Lexi was awake as she thought about something.
Lexi's mind: Alex is so sweet, I hope we will be more than friends
She blushed heavily and went to sleep with a cute smile on her face.
