The Bonehead and the Brain - Chapter 1 - Harvard, Are You Ready?
September 20, 2023, The Sandbox
Hayworth took a deep breath and Faith Star rolled her eyes at him with disapproval as he checked his face in the mirror.
He wanted to make sure that there were absolutely no signs of stupidity before he left for Harvard.
"Yes you're still smart," she said with her bottle dangling from her little baby mouth.
"Yes I am smart, that's why I'm going to Harvard and I wouldn't even be going if it wasn't for you," Hayworth said and he kissed his baby sister on the cheek before turning towards the door and heading out to the DX Machine.
He was ready to leave but Faith Star wasn't that happy to see him go.
"WAH!" she cried and LC came running out of the kitchen to see why her brother had upset her baby girl.
"Faith Star what's wrong, why are you crying? Is the Brain being a Bonehead again?" LC asked her daughter wiping
the tears from her first child's eyes.
Faith Star nodded and Hayworth froze at the reference to him being a Bonehead, "I am not a Bonehead, I am a Brain!"
he stated firmly.
"You wouldn't be if it wasn't for me!" Faith Star said again and Hayworth shrugged indifferently.
"Soooo what's your point?" he asked coolly.
"You're leaving me!" Faith Star said and Hayworth ran over to her and hugged her to himself tightly.
LC smiled at the sight of her little brother hugging her little daughter, who was coming up to 6 months old.
In those short six months Faith and Hayworth spent more time together than she would have thought.
The reason for that was two-fold; one reason being that Hayworth genuinely loved his new little sister, the
other reason was a little more selfish.
"I will never leave you Faith Star, you changed my life forever wih your Gift from God and I will always be grateful
to you for that," Hayworth said to Faith Star.
"So can I come to the Harvard to see you?" Faith Star asked him and Hayworth pursed his lips.
"Its not "The Harvard" Faith Star, it's Harvard. There's only one and because of you I'm still going there," Hayworth said
and Faith Star smiled.
"So I can come to Harvard to see you?" she asked again.
"Yes I insist," Hayworth replied.
"Okay let's get moving!" came the voice of Triple H and he grabbed Hayworth by the neck and dragged him into the DX Machine
while LC and Faith Star looked on.
"Have fun with the Bonehead!" LC teased her brother.
"Oh don't worry he will!" Triple H replied back and the two Helmsleys left for Boston while the two Michaels waved goodbye.
"Man that is going to be one crazy college orientation," LC said shaking her head.
"Crazy college, I thought Hayworth was going to Harvard?" Faith Star said confused.
"That's what I said, he's going to crazy college, at least that's what people will call Harvard once your grandfather shows up," LC said laughing.
"But I thought grandpa wasn't going to do anything crazy?" Faith Star said remembering seeing Hayworth get down on his knees and beg Triple H
to be on his best behaviour last night.
"Trust me Faith Star, your grandfather's best behaviour is the worst, hang around us for a few more years and you'll learn what it means to be
a DX kid real quick," LC said and she took her daughter into the kitchen where she was making a sandwich for lunch.
"But I'm only 6 months old, how long did it take you to be a DX kid mommy?" Faith Star asked LC.
"Well I didn't know I was a DX kid until I was 7 years old, so you're looking at about 6 and a half years," LC said and Faith Star shook her head.
"Okay, in the mean-time I'll just get used to being your kid," she replied and Faith Star kissed her mother's smiling face which was beaming
with pride right now. "I love you mommy,"
"I love you too Faith Star," LC replied and they sat around the kitchen table and ate lunch. LC took a quick glance at her watch.
"What you waiting for mommy?" Faith Star asked LC.
"I'm waiting for the phone call from the police telling me that my father's been arrested for driving naked around a college campus," LC said.
"Oh that won't happen, grandpa said that he was going to wear a flesh coloured suit instead. It took Hayworth all night to get him to sign the agreement saying he wouldn't streak," Faith Star replied and LC placed a crumbled up sheet of paper on the table.
"You mean this agreement?" LC asked Faith Star who looked at the document and tried to straighten out all the creases.
"Why does it say "SUCK IT!" where it says "Sign here"?" Faith Star asked puzzled and LC sighed, hoping that her child's ability to read at 6 months of age wouldn't end up being the bittersweet experience that it was for Hayworth.
"Let's just say your grandfather likes his clothes better when they are hanging in the closet than on his body," LC said. "And no piece of paper is going to change that,"
"Oh dear," Faith Star said. "Does Hayworth know about this?"
"This is why he asked you for help, your brother knows that his father is a total Degenerate and only the faith of a Michaels kid could help him get through his first year of college," LC replied.
"But I only helped him to stay a Brain so he could still go to college, I never did anything about grandpa being naked at Harvard!" Faith Star said.
"That's because you can't change someone else's free will, unlike you Faith Star, Hayworth cannot accept grandpa Hunter the way he is.
So he's going to have to learn the hard way what it means to be a DX kid," LC said.
"He can do what Jesus told us to do and that's to honour our parents, make grandpa proud of him. Are you proud of me mommy?" Faith Star asked LC.
"Are you kidding? I wanna have you all over again, you make child birth seem easy," LC said. "I just wish your grandma was around to see Hayworth go to college,"
"Yeah I miss her too. I think about her everytime I take a bath. I can't believe she drowned at sea," Faith Star said and LC's face turned cold.
"She didn't drown at sea, something, or someone pulled her underwater and by God's grace I will find out what happened to my mom," LC said.
Chyna had died soon after Wrestlemania back in the spring, the circumstances of her death were highly mysterious in nature. There was even questions as to if she was dead at all since her body had not been found. She hadn't been seen in months and the Ortons were working with ATM and the ARK Angels of DX
to get to the bottom of it. Until then LC remained hopeful that some day soon they would all have Joanie back in the DX household, safe and sound. After all someone had to keep Hunter in check, Hayworth certainly wasn't up for it and as for Shawn, his mind would soon be on his own DX lady.
