Scene cuts to the CDW household.
We see Aldryx and AGOTI sitting and watching TV, then AGOTI's stomach growled.
AGOTI: Yo Russ! When's the dinner ready?
Russell: Just a second AGOTI, I need to add some sauce! I think I have some in the garage. Can one of you look after the pot?
He then left for the kitchen.
Aldryx: Rock paper scissors for who gets to look after the pot?
AGOTI: Fine.
They played rock paper scissors.
Aldryx got paper and AGOTI got rock.
AGOTI groaned in annoyance.
Solazar: What's going on boys?
AGOTI then gets an idea.
AGOTI: Hey dad, Russell said for me to look after the dinner while he's at the garage but I just remembered that I gotta go help Wyatt with something. Can you check it for me?
Aldryx: What? Dad don't listen to him he-
AGOTI was gone in a flash. Solazar sighed.
Solazar: It's fine, I'll do it.
He went to the kitchen to see a pot of chili boiling and the oven was being used for something.
Solazar: Chili?
He tastes it.
Solazar: Hmm...could use some more spice to it...
He then noticed the oven was emiting smoke, Solazar opened the oven to reveal a nearly burnt roast.
Solazar: Oh my goodness! The roast is ruined I should-
He tried to pull the roast out only for it to disintegrate into ashes.
Solazar: Oh dear me-
???: YOU DID WHAT?!
He turned to see Russell who was carrying a box with sauces, he placed the box on the table and pushed Solazar to see the burnt roast.
Solazar: Russell AGOTI told me to check the kitchen and I found your roast was ru-
Russell: I don't wanna hear it old man, you're a literal fire hazard to this kitchen and you ruined tonight's dinner! Now I gotta buy a new one.
Solazar: I am sure we can fix-
Russell: No! Shut it, out of my kitchen!
Solazar narrowed his glare
Solazar: But this isn't your house need I remind you.
Russell: I know it ain't but who's doing the cooking around here? I do! Remember last time's dinner when Laurie cooked?
Laurie: Alright everyone, who wants vegan chowder soup?
Everyone minus Dawn:
(Start at 0:26)
"End of Flashback"
Solazar: Yeah I guess you're right. But still it wasn't my intention-
Russell: The fuck it ain't your intention bitch, you're made out of fire.
Solazar: At least I don't insult and yell and act totally useless.
Russell took that personally.
Russell: Take that back!
Solazar: I will once you stop acting like a teenager and pins mistakes on others.
Before the argument could go on any further,
Aldryx stepped in and separated the two.
Aldryx: Woah woah calm down fellas.
Then Cody, Dawn and Emma came along to the scene to see the commotion.
Cody: What's going on here?
Russell: He burnt the roast!
Solazar: I just went to check on the roast and it burnt. It was an honest mistake.
Russell: Mistake my ass, we need to wrap this guy in tin foil so he doesn't burn the house.
Dawn: Now now guys it is irrational to cause a commotion over burnt meat. Mistakes happen Russell, you should know that by now.
Russell: Thanks to him i gotta start all over.
Emma: Oh quit if you baby, we'll just order something.
Aldryx: I have no problem with that.
Cody: Same. But I came to realize something with you two.
He pointed at both Russell and Solazar.
Cody: The more you interact, the more disdain you have with each other and soon if that continues it could lead to many rifts within the group.
Dawn: Cody's right, we already had Magnus and IRyS a little while ago and now you two.
Russell: Don't blame me for being angry at him, he usually acts slow.
Solazar: It's better to act slow than to rush things. I do agree with Cody and Dawn, if we want order we have to do something about it.
Russell: Yeah maybe we should kick the fire hazard out.
Solazar now has furrowed brows.
Solazar: Or maybe we should kick the douchebag out? How does that sound?
Emma: Ok that's it, you two are clearly a recipe for the disaster. If I were you Cody I'd send these two to a therapist.
Solazar/Russell: Huh?
Cody: Y'know that's not a bad idea actually.
Aldryx: Yeah the more time Russell spends with dad they might become friends.
Russell: In your dreams Al, I would rather stick a sword down my throat then be friends with him.
Dawn: Yeah...they definitely need help....
Cody: Starting tomorrow you two are going to therapy sessions. But the main problem is I don't know a good therapist.
Emma: Oh you're in luck cause I know a guy who is a professional in his craft where he's tackled cases like this.
The scene showed a therapy building.
Inside we see Russell and Solazar sitting apart from one another on the sofa.
The camera then pans to see their hired therapist.
(Special thanks to Citizen_Soldier16 /Soviet_Onion15 for lett me use another OC of his Luka Vukovič in Codesworld. You're always awesome dude)
Luka: Hello Russell. Hello Solazar. My name is Luka Vukovič and I'm your therapist for the next few days. Emma told me about your mishaps and situations and I think I can fix the struggles and hardships you're going through.
Russell: Yeah good luck with that pal.
Luka: Russell I know you're not keen on this but what is important is you give it a chance.
Solazar: Mr Vukovič, with all due respect but Russell was always like this since day one when we met and joined a group of ours on separate days.
Luka: Care to share details with me Russell?
Russell could only flip the bird at Luka, Solazar slapped the back of the chef's head. The two then stared at one another with animosity.
Luka sighed.
Luka: This is gonna take a while.
The scene changed to the trio as they were standing, Russell's back face to Solazar's face as Luka was on the side.
Luka: The first step to acceptance is
resistance, you two act like one is the problem to the other but in reality you're both the problems to yourself. You lack trust and the best way to overcome that hurdle is to build it up all over again.
He points at Russell.
Luka: Russell, you will fall on your back and Solazar will catch. You need to show you can count on your friend to save you when you're falling.
Russell: I swear if you don't catch me, I'll use a fire extinguisher on your sorry blue ass.
Luka: No need for profanity. Let us begin gentlemen.
Russell closed his eyes, ready to take the fall.
Solazar was ready to catch Russell, but then a fly appeared and started pestering the manager.
Solazar: Pst! Shooo! Shooo!
He tried to swat the fly away, unknown to him Russell fell clean on the ground making the chef groan in pain.
Russell: You jackass! You were supposed to catch me!
Solazar: Humble apologies, Russell. It wasn't my-
He was caught off by Russell using a fire extinguisher on Solazar, only for Luka to pull it away from him and toss it away.
Luka: Now I'm stepping my foot down
gentlemen. Russell, Solazar was distracted by a fly, you're misunderstanding of the situation is what leads you to be THIS untrustworthy of you companion. I suggest you start believing more, if not then I'll be forced to use action....
One glare from Luka was enough to make Russell gulp.
Luka: Ok, let us commence one more time. Russell turned around and fell on his back only for Solazar to catch him.
Luka: Great job, now reverse the roles. Solazar you take the fall, Russell will catch you.
The roles were reversed, Russell was facing Solazar's back.
Solazar: Russell, I trust you that you will catch me right?
Russell: Relax I got you.
Solazar was about to take the fall, but then Russell stabbed his toe on one of the edges of the table.
Russell: Ow ow-
He was caught off by Solazar falling on him, the cook was on his knees catching the taller male.
Luka: Very good Russell.
Russell: I think my toe's hurt.
Solazar: Hang on.
He snapped his fingers and a med kit
appeared, he then used some bandages on the cook's injury.
Russell: I....thanks?
Russell was confused as Luka smiled before crossing off "Resistance" off of his check board.
The scene changed to the trio in a kitchen that was in the break room in the complex of this building.
Luka: Step two, resignation. It means the acceptance of something undesirable but inevitable.
Luka then went to the stove.
Luka: Solazar, you shall make a cup of coffee for Russell.
Russell: Him?
Luka: Yes Luka, and you will like it.
Solazar: Very well.
Solazar: Alright Russell here's your coffee.
Russell grabbed the cup but then looked at Solazar with a look of suspicion in his eyes.
Solazar: What?
Russell: I bet you added poison.
Solazar: Now don't be preposterous! I'm not the type to poison someone.
Russell: Maybe you secretly are.
Luka: There's only one way to find out Russell, only the inevitable happens and the answer is for you to find out. So go on.
Russell sighed before he took a sip of the coffee.
Russell: Hey this actually isn't half bad!
Solazar: I told you, what makes you think that I would poison you when we're literally at a therapist.
???: Well well well!
Russell/Solazar: EDUARDO!
Eduardo had a smugness as this time he was on his own.
Luka: Great...look who decided to show up AFTER 2 months of unpaid sessions.
Eduardo: Sorry Luka but I was busy with stuff and by stuff I mean myself.
Solazar: You know him!?
Luka: An old patient of mine, I helped him with some personal issues he had.
Eduardo: Yeah...
Scene showed Eduardo throwing darts at a dart board that had Cody's picture on it. Then he angrily punched a nearby bag that Cody's pictured taped to it. He then grabbed the picture and angrily tore it in half.
"End of Flashback"
Luka: You're still in debt to me.
Eduardo: Oh I'll pay you...AFTER those two losers finish their session today. If they don't then they'll pay for me.
Russell: Who are you calling a loser bud?
Solazar: That was uncalled for and why would we pay you?
Eduardo: Uncalled for? The entire
neighborhood views you as the most
dysfunctional individuals of all time.
He laughed and left. The two then looked at each other before they nodded.
Luka: Leave him be gentlemen, let us
commence with the third step.
The scene changed to then outside a
grassland area.
Luka: Acceptance.
He was sitting in a meditating pose.
Luka: It's time to accept for who you are, say out the things that are your struggles. Share your darkest secrets with one another.
Russell: Do we have to?
Solazar: If it's a part of the session then we might as well do it. I'll go first.
He sat on the ground and was joined by Russell as they faced one another.
Solazar: Before I was a manager I grew up in poverty back on my home planet of Solaria. Most Solarisapiens grew up poor at the beginning, but my parents decided to move me to college here on Earth to study to become what I wanted. In the end I was influenced by Earth's many musical talents and I developed in becoming something of a singer for a brief period before I decided it would fit me more to be a manager. I became managers for people like Travis Scott and Justin Timberlake but those were short lived as I wasn't much of a fan of their styles. I then found AGOTI and Aldryx when they were young and homeless, I decided to adopt them as my own and I would teach them how to sing. I became their manager and we instantly blew up, but what's important is that I managed to turn my life around but by not giving up.
Russell was speechless. He lost his douchy demeanor.
Russell: I...I...I'm so sorry you had to go all through that....
Solazar: It's fine, it happens to the best of us. Now let's hear your secret.
Russell: Well...it's just I was angry that I didn't win Hell's Kitchen back at season 8 so many years ago, and to this day I still am angry about not winning over some dumb fat bitch. I worked my ass off and had to deal with various teammates that performed poorly and that let me down, especially in the finale. And every time that I'd see them trying to apply in a place I worked in, I was the first one to try and blackball them into not getting in....
There was silence between them.
Solazar: I understand where you're coming from but you're also not in the right either. Blackballing out of spite doesn't get people far in life, you should learn to accept the help you're given and work with what you have around you. It may not seem easy but with the right people, you can achieve much...
The two look at one another and then at Luka who was written off "Acceptance" from his clipboard.
Luka: Well then boys that's-
Then suddenly a water balloon hits Russell's face. The trio turned around to see Eduardo and his gang.
Eduardo: Having fun in the grasslands ya hippies?!
Jon: Haha, losers-
Eduardo: Shut up Jon, I'm talking here!
Luka: Gentlemen excuse me for one moment.
He got up and approached Eduardo who had a smug on his face.
Eduardo: Hey Luka what up y-
He was cut off by Luka who grabbed his hand and slammed him on the ground with a judo throw.
Eduardo: Ow! You fucking-
Luka grabbed his arm and pulled it upwards, Jon and Mark were ready to
fire water balloons at Luka but the therapist waved his finger at them.
Luka: Ah ah, one throw and Eduardo loses his arm.
The two had second thoughts. Luka then knelt down to the bad neighbor and whispered.
Luka: Listen carefully to me. You attacked a client of mine from a dear friend and ruined our session, not only that but you're also in debt and deadlines from not paying me from all those hate sessions you had for the last months.....
He leaned to Eduardo's scared and sweaty face.
Luka: I suggest you start paying and if I ever see you try to interrupt my work again I will send you to the emergency room...
He pulls Eduardo to him.
Luka: Am I understood...?
Eduardo: Y-y-yessir!
Luka: Good.
He lets go of Eduardo who then pulls out his wallet and gives him a large stack of cash before running away.
Eduardo: Come on guys let's go!
Mark and Jon followed him. Luka turned around to face a stunned Russell and Solazar.
Solazar: That was-
Russell: Amazing of you! You really stuck it up to that asshole.
Solazar: Cody would love to hear about this one.
Luka: It was no issue gentlemen, no one messes with my clients when I'm around. Now, shall we continue.
We see Luka, Emma and Cody all watching Russell and Solazar act on their own.
Russell: Hey Sol, wants some coffee?
Solazar: Sure, also I have something for you.
He pulls out a present for the chef.
Russell: What is it?
Solazar: Open it and find out.
Russell opens the gift and he pulls out a white apron with the words "Best Cook 4-Life"
Solazar: You like it? I made it myself.
Russell: You didn't have to man. Thanks anyways.
Solazar: No problem.
Russell: Wanna cook tonight's meal with me together?
Solazar: Really?
Russell: Absolutely.
Solazar: Well this should be fun.
The trio then face each other.
Emma: Well Luka you've done it again.
Luka: It was no problem Emma, happy to help your debacle.
Cody: Thanks a lot man, how much do I owe you?
Luka: Oh no this one's on the house, consider it a friend's gift.
Cody: Come on dude at least let us treat you something.
Emma: Maybe come over for dinner.
Luka: Sure, I guess I'll join in.
Cody: Yeah, and I gotta ask. Want to join our gang? You seem like a very fun and friendly person given how you managed to get those two under control.
Luka: Hmm...very well then, I guess I can befriend you and your friends.
Emma: Great, Kitty is gonna love to hear you joining us.
With that Luka now joined the gang.
UCS754:Now normally this would be the end but I am one man and as a human being I have feelings too and the original draft sucked ACTUAL ASS! So this is why this chapter wasn't written by me it was written Citizen_Soldier16/Soviet_Onion15 he was my save in grace and if we wasn't there CDW wouldn't probably here still. If you'll like this and want to see more go check his account. And hey you might see me and Cody doing our own shenanigans in the comments of his stories. But until then always remember.
FUN IS INFINITE AT UCS ENTERPRISES!
PEACE! ✌🏻
