WWE learned of Luke's actions from yesterday on SmackDown as he choked out executive producer and head of the creative department Bruce Prichard with the Katipunan Clutch. The producer initially wanted to suspend Luke for one and a half months and have the Intercontinental Championship stripped from the Nomad, but Triple H overruled his request and dropped his demand.
Luke saw the statement made by the corporate executives, which made him smirk.
Luke: heh heh, nice try you balyena; that's what you get for giving the fans crap as they paid their hard earned money to see a good WWE show
He then saw the news for next week as he is booked in a match against Apollo Crews' big bodyguard, Commander Azeez.
Luke: hmph, that is no challenge; Azeez will go down
As he looked through his phone, Liv was in the bathroom taking a shower. The Jersey native got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
Liv: oh Lukey, the shower is yours now
She giggled as she was anticipating the Nomad's reaction when he sees her wearing nothing but a towel.
Luke: yeah- oh my goodness!
The Nomad nearly fell off the couch as he was entranced and enticed by her curves that he can barely make out through her towel.
Liv: cat got your tongue, Lukey?
Luke gulped and took a quick deep breath.
Luke: you're so... s...
Liv caught his hesitation, so she decided to play and tease him by sitting down next to him and scooted close to him, pressing her body up against his, making Luke sweat. She turned up the heat by laying her head on his shoulder.
Luke: b-babe, your towel might fall off
Liv: finish what you were about to say babe; I'm so... what?
She giggled.
Luke: you're so... s-s-sexy
Liv blushed heavily from her Nomad's compliment while also giggled as his stuttering and cuteness.
Liv: aww thank you Lukey, now go wash up, we have an outing today
Luke: huh? An outing? Sounds like last minute, Liv
Liv: yeah, I know because I was gonna ask you something
Luke: oh, what is it?
Liv: do you play any video games or have your own console?
Luke: nope, never had a console ever; remember what evil family I came from
Liv: oh right, but that's the plan, time to introduce you to some gaming
Luke: I remembered going over to my neighbor's house and he taught me how to play on his PS4.
Liv: ooh, what games did you play?
Luke: a lot, there's so many to remember
Liv: aww okay, well today, I will show you the arcade games at the mall
Luke: it's been a long time, expect me to be a little rusty
Liv: it's okay Lukey, we're just going there to have fun
Luke: alright, now time for me to wash up
Liv: I'm gonna change
(Few minutes later)
Luke was done showering and he was in his room changing; as for Liv, she was already dressed and ready.
Liv: Lukey, you're ready to go?
Luke: give me a second, babe!
Luke came out wearing all black and blushed a bit as he saw Liv's outfit.
Liv: what do you think?
Luke: you look stunning
Liv: aww, you always know what to say
Luke: let's go
Liv nodded and took Luke's hand as they leave his house and got in his car.
Luke: so are the arcade machines still coin operated?
Liv: Lukey, when was the last time you've been to an arcade?
Luke: well that's what my adopted parents told me, the machines are coin operated
Liv: well there has been a big change in the industry
Luke: oh?
Liv: you'll see once we get there
The two went on their journey as they drove to the mall for a day of fun and games.
(20 minutes later)
The two arrived and parked in front of the mall and got out of the car. Liv wrapped her arm around his, so she can stay close to him.
Luke smiled and kissed her head as the two went inside.
Liv was smiling big and at awe as she looked around all the stores selling awesome stuff such as clothes and electronics. Then Liv saw the arcade.
Liv: there it is Lukey!
Luke: alright, let's go
Liv couldn't contain her excitement as she dragged Luke and pulled him by the arm as they went inside. Luke was amazed as he saw a lot of arcade games, but he noticed that any of them doesn't have a coin slot.
Luke: Liv, where are the coin slot machines?
Liv: well Lukey, time for you to move into a new era of gaming, here they don't use coins or tokens, they use game cards like these.
Liv: and look there are no slots, you have swipe them if you want to play
Luke: oh it's free?
Liv giggled.
Liv: no silly, we need to pay, so we can play, and it's up to you how much
Luke: alright, here's $50
Liv: the $50 will transfer into your card
Luke ah okay
The two paid for their game passes and were now ready to play
Liv: Lukey, I noticed a big stuffed pig on the prize wall
Luke: and I guess you want that
Liv: yes I do!
Luke: alright, so how are we gonna win that?
Liv: we play, so we get tickets, and if we get at least 1,000 tickets, we can get the pig
Luke: huh, so these machines give tickets for you playing
Liv: yeah, so are you ready?
Luke: yes, which will we play first?
Liv: well let's find the one with a big jackpot prize
The two looked around the arcade to see which machines give the most tickets in one day, or the machine with the jackpot.
Liv: oh here's one with 500 tickets as a jackpot; drop 50 red balls in the buckets without missing one
Luke: without missing one huh? I guess the balls are the bouncy ones
Liv: yeah, wanna give it a try, Lukey?
Luke: well, I'll try my best
Liv: relax Lukey, remember we're here to have fun
Luke nodded and swiped his card to start. As five buckets spun around, Luke took the small opportunity to rapid fire 5 balls in each bucket.
Liv: oh, good strategy!
Luke took a deep breath and concentrate as he used his strategy to get all 50 balls in the buckets without missing one.
Luke: I got it!
Liv: good job!
Luke kneeled down and noticed there was no ticket slot.
Luke: where are the tickets?
Liv: oh, the tickets are added into your card, see the number on the screen? That's the tickets counting into your card.
Luke: and it's one by one?! This will take a long time
Liv: we also need patience
After some time, the 500 tickets from the game were scanned into Luke's card.
Liv: that's it, you got 500 tickets in your card
Luke: we're only halfway now, that stuffed pig will be yours
Liv smiled.
Luke: well I think it's best we split up and play as much games as we can
Liv: yeah, good idea; cut the work down in half
The two nodded at each other as they split up and played as much of the ticket games as possible.
(A few minutes later)
The two met at the counter.
Luke: so how did you do? How many tickets did you win?
Liv: I got only 200 tickets, some of the games are hard
Luke: I agree
Liv: how about you, Lukey?
Luke: well I played a game called Monster Ball, where you have to drop the ball into the hole while it spins around, and I managed to land one ball in the hole
Liv: nice! So how many tickets did you win?
Luke: well I managed to rack up... 400 tickets, so adding with the 500 I won earlier, I got 900 tickets in my card
Liv: yay! We can get the piggy!
The two went to the counter and swiped their cards on the scanner that counts the tickets in their cards. After the scanner counted, the total came to 1,100 tickets, enough to get the pig.
Liv: aww, he's so cute!
Luke: well, that was fun!
Liv: you're caught up now
Luke: I was always used to the coin operated ones, but I understand how the passes and swipes work
Liv: yay!
The two left the arcade and walked around until they stopped at the game store.
Luke: there it is, the PS4
Liv: always wanted one?
Luke: ever since I played at my neighbor's house years ago, I do, but didn't got a chance to buy one
Liv: aww, you will
Luke: I'm coming back for it soon
Liv smiled as the two looked around to see the many choices of PS4 games they can choose from. After some time of looking around, the two left and went to the food court to grab some food to eat for lunch.
(Few minutes later)
The two left the mall and went back to their house.
(In the house)
Liv was cuddling with her newly won stuffed pig in the bed while Luke checked anymore updates.
Liv: Lukey, do you have a match for next week
Luke: yup, I'm going against Apollo's big commander Azeez
Liv: ooh, I saw you lifting him up and slamming him down last week
Luke: that means he won't be a problem
Liv: how about me? Anything for me?
Luke: looks like you're going against... ooh Natalya
Liv: ooh Nattie is going down
Luke: you'll do great babe
Liv: thanks Lukey. I still can't believe you choked out Prichard and you didn't get suspended
Luke: well one, that whale deserved it and two, Triple H overruled it
Liv: well he does for not giving me or any of the others opportunities
Luke: hopefully the landscape will change, and you will hold the women's title over your shoulder
Liv: I always dreamed of that moment
Luke: and if Prichard doesn't listen, I'll have the pleasure of choking him out again
Liv giggled as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Liv: let's take a nap Lukey
Luke: okay sure
The Nomad pulled the blanket on their bodies while Liv hugged her stuffed pig as she felt warm and comfortable from Luke's arms around her.
The two kissed each other and fell asleep for a nap.
