The Riddle Pt. 1
Waverly's POV
It's been two months since Uncle Curtis passed away and Wynonna came to town. Ever since then Aunt Gus has been asking Waverly and Wynonna to get rid of all the extra stuff laying around. Today is that day and Wynonna wasn't going to wake up before 11am, much less on a Saturday so Waverly called Champ to come over and start getting rid of everything.
"God, there's so much. " says Waverly while unloading the truck. "Yeah. Curtis spent the last few years of his life hand-picking it, from the Badlands to the Rockies." states Champ. "And you know that because..." asks Waverly. "Cause every time he went out, I did two things: drive and dig. Curtis had a nose for buried stuff. He was kind of like you into the, uh, into the past of where things come from and stuff before today, uh,..." he says putting another box down.
"You mean like history?" Waverly says annoyed that her boyfriend can't even remember the main thing she's obsessed with. "Yep! How can somebody so pretty be so smart huh?" he says stroking her cheek. Waverly whispers "Because they're not mutually exclusive." and laughs sarcastically.
"Remember the last time we got mutually exclusive? Now that was historic, eh? Huh, right?" Champ walks behind Waverly trying to seduce her. Waverly pushes him off. "Babe! Not in front of my legacy. " Champs just starts looking through Curtis's collection. "What's this? Oh my God. Uncle Curtis." Waverly finds a letter addressed to her. "It's his handwriting. "
Champ, not really interested, asks "What is it?". "It's a poem." He scoffs. "There once was a girl from Nantucket...huh?" Waverly dismisses Champ's comment and rolls her eyes. "Hands off my sister nine seconds." yells Wynonna from the Homestead. "It's eight seconds, loser. " says Champ, feeling offended that Wynonna doesn't remember the fastest record at the time that was set by him.
Waverly hides the letter from Wynonna wanting to keep something all to herself. Her sister asks about the most recent case they got, but gets distracted by the motorcycle Champ has just uncovered from Curtis's things. She pushes Waverly out of the way screaming and runs to the motorcycle she's been dreaming off for years. Wynonna gasps "1200 stage one Screaming Eagle!" "Yeah I hauled it for Waverly" Champ says a little jealous.
"No, Curtis's will does stipulate that the bike goes to Wynonna." Wynonna laughs and strokes the bike like it's a horse. "Oh! I knew we were soulmates." Wynonna purrs and sits on the bike. "What am I gonna name this sexy beast?" Her demeanor changes into a ball of nerves when she spots Doc walking towards them. "Doc!" "Wynonna can we talk? In private." Doc says more serious than usual. Waverly thinks that something is going on between the two of them, but just focuses on the poem.
