Chapter 14: Theresa, part 1

New York, August 2016

"Hey Curtis, hey Cecilia! It's your favorite aunt Theresa again! Welcome to your...seventh video." Cornchip Girl says excitedly to her video camera. She has developed a hobby of creating videos for TJ and Spinelli' children about what they should expect when they grow up. It's not much of a surprise since she has become a famous Youtuber, mainly for her videos about "supposedly" identities of Robinhood6 leaders. She jumped on this opportunity very quickly, her creativity and cheerfulness fit this much better than being a naval officer.

"I'm pretty sure by now your parents have told you about Robinhood6. If not, burn this tape and never look back, got it?" She points her finger to the camera sternly, maybe she's too trusting for her own good. "Still here? Good, because I've been looking forward to this one. I will introduce to you about your mom and dad' friends, except for me, of course. You got to see enough of my awesomeness in the previous six ones."

"Honey, are you making fun of me in your videos again?" Gus shouts from the kitchen downstairs. "Don't you have better things to do? Like, I don't know, not making fun of anyone of us?"

"You're so negative Gus. Of course I'm not gonna do that." She shouts back down playfully. "That's what I'm totally gonna do." She smirks and whispers to the camera.

"Yeah, so starting off with your uncle Gus. I bet your dad has praised him from time to time about his bravery and how badass he looks in news after cleaning up crimes in New York and how he can single-handedly take down a giant mega death robot..." Theresa trails off in a very bored voice. "That's probably what he would say, always talk good about his friends, and it might look true from his physique, but your mom knows best. She's probably trashtalks Gus a lot, listen to her." She jokes. It's a wife's duty to make fun of her husband, I guess.

"He may seem invincible, but your uncle has one weakness that only few people know, so don't tell anyone, ok?" She looks through her sides to make sure she's alone and starts whispering to the camera so her husband downstairs can't hear. "Back in seventh grade, when Five Night At Freddy's was still a thing, Gus saw a Bonkey animatronic caught fire by accident, and it melted completely. Long story short, he's still scared of Bonkey until this day. Watch this." She starts putting on a Bonkey mask and walks out of the room downstairs.

"Gus, can I talk to you for a moment?" Her voice is loud enough to be heard by the camera.

"What is it Theresa?" He answers in his normal, low voice. "Aghhhh! Don't eat me!" A high-pitched scream, similarly to Gus's voice in fourth grade, immediately follows.

Mexico, August 2016

The camera fades to the next scene at the Citadel. "I hope your parents have also told you about this place or else your mom would kill me." Cornchip Girl laughs for a second, then stops instantly. "Seriously, she would literally kill me, so please ask her first."

"TJ and Spinelli live here most of the time, along with your uncles Chuck, Bob, Wang, Menlo and your aunts Gretchen and Lisa. Let's talk about them." She continues. "I don't really know what their jobs are, or what Robinhood6 does, but I know quite well how they're like."

"It takes five minutes talking to anyone here to know that, you know?" Lenny slips in as he walks past her. He was Gus's roommate in college so he knows her quite well.

"Don't you have work to do Lenny?" She shouts back at him. "Back to the point. You probably know your parents well, but I'm sure there are things they'll take into their graves. It's my job to dug them up. For example, everybody knows TJ is the king of speech and master of lying, especially to protect someone. What you don't know is that he's really bad at lying normally in front of his friends. Take a look!"

The camera fades, and turns back on at a concealed spot, recording the conversation between Cornchip Girl and TJ. "Hey TJ!"

"Hey Theresa, here to find ideas for your Robinhood6 theories again? Just don't record anything here ok?" He greets her back warmly.

"No I'm actually here for something else. Remember my breakup with Gus during high school? I just checked Facebook yesterday and saw Gus's post the day after: "I'm hapy, I don't ned her." Do you remember anything about that?" Gus has already confessed to her he had sex with a girl that day while he was drunk shortly after they made up, but TJ doesn't know that to this day.

"Oh I remember that day, for sure. He cried a lot, wanted to fight Yeoman, and things like that. He eventually drank himself to sleep, but it took me and Vince so long to calm him. So nothing to worry about, you guys made up in the end, right?" Theresa smiles, he really knows how to cover up a story in the most natural way possible. He even shivers and acts disgusted at the right moments.

"Well that's good to know. But I'm here for something else."

"What else do you need?" TJ asks, intrigued.

"Well, today is my birthday, I just want to see if you guys have done anything for me." She asks innocently, TJ doesn't use Facebook so he doesn't know she's lying.

"WHAT? It's your bir...I mean, of course we know it's your birthday! Gus has...prepared major things for you!…With us, of course...and he'll be on his way soon...IT'S A SURPRISE. Yes! It's a surprise, so you shouldn't ask too much, else it would be ruined...Why are you here, you're supposed to not be here so we can prepare..." His charisma has vanished completely.

"Relax, TJ, I'm kidding. It's not my birthday." She cuts him off. TJ finally figures it out she's messing with him after a few seconds, both laugh it off. Theresa then turns to her hidden camera and winks.

"Wait, are you recording this?"

The camera fades again to Cornchip Girl holding it to her face. "Your mom also has some interesting facts, which one should I tell? Hmm...got it, gifts!" She exclaims, snapping her finger. "I'm not sure how you'll think of her, but to us she's very strict and violent during work, maybe a little bit chiller in parties. No one I know of, except TJ, can approach her without fearing for their lives, unless you know some life hacks. I think I kept an old video footage of this."

The video changes to a recording from behind the bushes of TJ and Spinelli in a picnic about three years ago. Spinelli seemed to be mad at him for something he did before the picnic. Luckily, TJ brought a gift, which after unwrapping, revealed to be an odd-looking katana, likely to be handmade. Spinelli started smiling and hugged him. Both blushed and leaned in slowly for a kiss, but TJ stopped and turned to the camera. Spinelli also turned and then ran towards it with her katana. There was a loud scream from what seemed to be Theresa before it faded to static.

Again, it cuts back to her. "So you see, Curtis and Cecilia, if you want to make your mom stop being mad at you, give her one of these three things: a ticket to a wrestling match, a good sword, or a limited edition of Stephen King's novel. A few people besides TJ has tried it, and it works ten out of ten." Theresa then pauses and has a moment of thought.

"If you want to give her a sword, be at least twenty. Spinelli would kill me if you aren't. Try the other two instead" She adds. "Why would you be watching this if you're not twenty anyway. Stop it, ok?"

"One thing I know for sure, your parents must have told you about their four closest friends, their 'gang'." Cornchip Girl talks to the camera while walking to the laboratory. "They're still good friends now, one of them is your uncle Gus, but not me, sadly." She fakes frowning. "Still, that doesn't stop me from being your favorite aunt, right? Anyway, let's go see the fourth member, shall we?" She moves the camera to see Gretchen in the background, working on her laptop.

"This is your aunt Gretchen. Say hi, Gretchen!"

"Hello kids." She turns around and smiles, and turns back to work right after.

"Your aunt here is a genius, a great scientist and inventor, and a very rational person, not like a mad scientist you see in movies. We are lucky to have such a good friend and also the smartest person alive." Theresa spares no bounds complimenting her.

"Aww, thank you." Gretchen turns around again, appeared to be touched by her words.

"TJ likes to joke that she's the mother of their group, but it's usually TJ and Menlo that keeps her in check, ironically." Theresa smirks.

"Excuse me? In check of what?" Gretchen changes her expression instantly. The recording fast forwards to her meeting with TJ and some other scientists in the afternoon.

"Watch this. This happens almost everyday." Theresa whispers to the camera and starts recording the session from outside the room.

"This gun is a revolutionary invention boss. With just a snap of the finger…I mean, with just a shot from this gun, the victim will turn into dust in a instant, like in Fallout 4." Gretchen continues explaining how the gun functions and is it possible in details, not noticing the horror in the faces of everyone in the room.

"Again, like I said, you have to be at least twenty to watch this." Theresa whispers to the camera.

"Ummm, Gretchen, I think this gun can work to turn regular objects to dusts as well right?" TJ cuts in.

"Yeah, I guess, with some modifications. But it's a gun, why should we shoot objects with a gun?" Gretchen asks puzzledly.

"Why would we need such a gun? We barely using regular ones anyway. A gun that can turn objects to dust, however, would be a useful tool to destroy evidence." He suggests.

Gretchen raises her fingering, attempting to raise a point, but stops. After a few seconds, she slams her head into the table multiple times. This has happened so many times that no one looks surprised at this reaction anymore.

"Why didn't I think of that?" She groans while continue slamming her head.

"And that kids, is a perfect example of some of her 'genius' moments." Theresa whispers.

"Put the camera away Theresa!" Gretchen shouts, her head glues to the table.

"Thes, I swear to god if you're gonna make another video making fun of us, I will rip ya skeleton out and use it for Gretchen's lab!" Spinelli adds in a snarky comment before the recording is turned off.

"Okay, moving to the next one. Ah, perfect timing, Menlo is here." Cornchip Girl moves the camera to Menlo, who is walking out of the earlier meeting, too busy reading some documents to pay attention to her.

"This is Menlo, your aunt Gretchen's boyfriend, and is our friend, well kinda our friend, since elementary. Fun fact, he's your dad's best friend in kindergarten." Theresa says as she starts following him, filming as they go. "He's a strict guy, disciplined, all about being organized. But don't worry, he's very CARING and NICE TO KIDS. He helps everyone out when he can, and is a RIGHTEOUS MAN. He caught one of your dad's heists back in college, and decided to join him instead for the cause." She compliments Menlo loudly, making sure he can hear it. "See! I'm complimenting you guys, please tell Marian that!"

"I heard you, and I don't care." Menlo shouts back without any stopping.

"Here's the fact: Menlo is a dinosaur. He likes sudoku, crosswords, bingo, I don't even know if they still exist when you two grow up. Basically to bribe him, think of something your grandfather likes, and give that to him." She whispers to the camera when he's out of sight.

"Okay, let's move on to your uncle Chuck." She then points the camera to Chuck, who is staring out of the window a from afar. "Out of your mom and dad' friends, I know this guy the least. Still, he's one of your dad's closest friends, so three things you should know about him." Theresa says and raises three fingers to the screen.

"One, do not, I repeat, DO NOT ask him to help with pranks. His pranks are many times more dangerous than TJ's, and most of the time not funny." She shudders, still remembering his prank on her and Gus last year. It took them a whole week to get rid of the smell. "Two, don't play war games with him, ever. He's a master tactician, and the best fighter I know. And he will probably cheat." She's still salty for losing him in Battleship a long time ago. "And lastly, don't mention your uncle Wang in front of him, they're not in good terms, since...since I first knew them, I suppose."

"Speaking of the devil, I think I saw him, let's go see him." She points the camera back to her and turns it off.

"This is your uncle Wang when he's in his twenties. Say hi to Curtis and Cecilia, Wang!"

"Hi kids!" Wang smiles brightly to the camera, waving his arm.

"Everything you need to know about him is that he's a great conman, and a Batman fanatics, and..." She pauses for a second to think of more things to say. "...No, that's it. Ok, Wang, your service are done, so can get back to work."

"Bye kids!" Wang continue smiles brightly to the camera, still waving his arm.

"Bye Commissioner Gordon's wife!" He manages to slip this in before the camera is turned off.

"Here's a fun, and the only fact you need to know about your aunt Lisa. Can you guess what it is?" Cornchip Girl says as she points the camera to Lisa's door. She opens it and records Lisa, who is doing something on her computer. As always, the room is in total darkness asides from her computer screen. Lisa turns around and hisses at her loudly.

"That's right." Theresa nods and closes the door. "Don't ever come into Lisa's room unless it's a life-threatening emergency. On second thought, scratch that, even if it's a life-threatening emergency, just text her."

"And last but not least, your uncle Robert." Theresa holds the camera in a selfie, with Robert visible in the background. He stands with his arms crossed and back against the wall, staring at the camera, but without a smile or a simple hi.

"He used to be king in elementary school like your dad, I used to put corn chips in his path to mark his arrival. Like Gus, he's a stone cold badass, maybe too stone cold." She talks in a very small tone so Robert cannot hear her. "I heard people in the Citadel has never seen him smile ever since it was constructed."

"Still, Robert was a wise king then, allowing TJ and his gang to thrive. And he is a wise general now, an irreplaceable man in this group. He and TJ were my favorite kings, though I'm not sure he remembers me." She continues, not knowing behind her, Robert is smirking at her rambling.

"That's why you're one of my favorite subjects, Cornchip Girl." He mumbles.

Los Angeles, August 2016

"Welcome back C&C! I'm here in with your uncles Vince and Mikey in LA! They're the last two members of your mom and dad's original gang." Cornchips girl moves the camera to the two men across the table in Wendy's, barely getting Mikey fully on screen.

"What's up mah favorite niece and nephew!" Vince greets.

"It's nice to see you do such lovely videos for a change. Away from the violence and crimes of Robinhood6." Mikey smiles at Theresa.

"Don't push it, Mikey." Vince smirks at him.

"So, I talked a lot about these two in in my previous videos, so this one I'll tell some fun facts about them, you kids ready?" She cuts them off and turns the camera back to her.

"Fun facts? Alright, whatcha got in mind?" Vince asks, intrigued.

"Let's start off with Mikey. Vince, why don't you tell them for me?" Theresa answers as she passes the camera to him. "Tell them whatever fun things about him that you like, embarrassing things encouraged."

"Go ahead Vince. But remember, I'm your BEST FRIEND." Mikey reminds him in a friendly tone, but not forgetting to emphasize the last part.

"Don't worry big guy, there's not much that we can make fun of you." Vince reassures him and turns back to the camera. "One thing you have to keep in mind about your uncle Mikey is even though he's the friendliest guy you'll ever know, he's super strong. I mean, even stronger than Gus, and nearly as much as your mom. So like the Hulk, don't make him angry."

"That was very disappointing of you, Vince. The Bonkey obsession fact would have been better than that." Theresa takes back the camera with an unimpressed expression on her face.

"What can I say? I'm a nice guy." Vince shrugs.

"You know, people always say: nice guys finish last." She smirks and hands the recorder to Mikey with a wink. "Your turn, Mikey."

"By the time you watch this, your uncle Vince will likely has bragged about how he's the best at all kinds of sports..." Mikey starts with a smirk on his face.

"Wait...No, do not tell them that!" Vince shouts, realizing what Mikey is about to say.

"But that's because he always avoids conversations when it comes to…" Mikey continues, not caring his friend's protest.

"Mikey you traitor! Gimme that tape!" Vince launches across the table between them, trying to take the camera from him.

"...playing pool." Mikey manages to finish the sentence, with a loud "NO!" from Vince follows. It wasn't long afterwards that Mr. Win's ego is shattered and the two begin a pool match in a nearby bar. Bad is an understatement for Vince's play, he somehow manages to shoot every single balls out of the table, twice, both with only one stroke. Those would have been miracle shots if they were intentional (which it is, according to him). Worst (or best) of all, Theresa records the whole thing.

"You keep doing that, and I'll smash the tape to pieces, Corny." Vince tells her irritatedly.

"I encourage you to challenge your uncle Vince in this whenever he's all over with himself." Theresa makes a final remark to her video between her breaths while running out of the bar, away from Vince. "That's all for now, but we're not done yet. There's still a few of your parents' friends that I haven't introduced, I'll see you then. Love you both!"

A/N: I made a few references about the Recess episodes in case you're wondering, "Some Friend" and "Fort Tender" about Menlo, and "Bonky Fever" about Mikey. I also made some other references, like Batman and Infinity War, so some parts may seem confusing if you haven't watched or played it.

I know aunt and uncle are term for relatives, but from what I know, it can also be used for close friends to your parents, so I find it fitting to also use them here.
