Chapter 3 : Saturday School
AMW Training Facility
Five years ago , after Harris and Storm moved into their new homes after the Biohazard and Trifecta issues , the two built an additional place on the property in between their two houses where they and their family and friends could come out to train . It was this new training facility on their property that Grace would be trained in a year ago to wrestle herself by AMW and was used by most of the ones in the Extended Family to improve on their wrestling , to work out , or to just hang out . The training facility even had a place outside to work out and train for those who wanted to do conditioning and outdoor training as well , but at the moment AMW and Grace were inside when Andy Douglas showed up with Talia .
" So , how much long on this Saints and Tennessee Connection feud , Grace ? " Storm asked as Andy walked in with Talia .
" You would have to ask David and Chase that , because I was under the assumption that it was going to end in Nashville , two months ago . But , then we figured we had a good thing going and that it should last a little longer which is how the whole Street Fight thing got started and working towards that , so , now with Chase three to five weeks out due to KHAOS , nothing has been said except to make it at least through the Street Fight in Pigeon Forge , Tennessee . Of course , I was under the impression that they were planning on finishing everything in Nashville at the big SAW event coming up in July . " Grace said .
" What did you do with Debra and Jr. ? " Chris asked Andy .
" Debra is with Jessie and Maria dealing with Knockout business and Jr. is in Saturday School for writing on the bathroom wall . " Andy sighed .
" Hmm , " Grace said looking at Andy .
" What ? " Andy asked .
" Are you here to work out or what ? " Grace asked curiously .
" I can , why ? " Andy asked .
" Give Talia to dad and come on I need someone to run with and seeing as Storm only runs when someone is giving out free beer and dad when Star Wars intro starts playing then its got to be you , Count Douglas . " Grace tossing the ball she had to James before looking at Andy again .
" Alright then , be good for Chris , okay , Princess . " Andy said as he handed Talia to Chris .
" Yes sir , daddy , " Talia said .
Grace and Andy walked outside to the track Douglas still confused as to why she wanted him to go with her . But , just like Grace had said they did do some running and conditioning , for Grace it was fun to run with Andy as he still gave her a challenge and he was someone she could keep up with since it was five years ago that Andy taught her how to do conditioning out at Shane Douglas ' place . It wasn ' t until after they had stopped and Grace had thought long and hard about what she wanted to say and realized that it was someone outside of the guys in the Extended Family he wanted to talk to about the things that were bothering him .
" You can still keep up , " Andy said after they had breathed a little to calm down after the conditioning .
" Yeah , but now the real reason I wanted to run with you . " Grace said .
" And that would be ? " Andy asked .
" Whatever is bothering you that you don ' t want to tell Chase , Debra , or the guys within the family ? " Grace asked .
" Its , Andy Jr. , I feel like my son is pulling away from me and his mother for some reason and I don ' t know why and he won ' t talk to either one of us about it . And I ' m not going back to wrestling until I find out what is going on within my own family . " Andy said as Grace saw the stress and frustration on his face .
" Yeah , I was kind of shocked when it ended up being Crimson instead of you in the Tennessee Connection , but now I see why , " Grace said .
" Chase , called me and I wanted to , but with the stress I ' m under right now , I just can ' t focus on wrestling and try to sort everything out with Andy Jr. and the issues with my family . " Andy said .
" How long has this been going on with him hanging out with kids involved in gang related activity ? " Grace asked .
" Since school started back after the Winter Break , before that he was fine and everything was going okay . But , then he mentioned new friends at school and our first thought was good he ' s making new friends and then it turned into he ' s getting in trouble , his teachers and principle telling us that two of the new kids he is hanging with is involved in gang related activity , and that ' s got both me and Debra worried about what it could do to him and who he is bringing around the house and Talia . " Andy sighed again shaking his head .
" And what ' s been going on between him and Dakota ? " Grace asked .
" They hardly see each other since I ' m not at the Impact Zone a whole lot and the same way with Petey being gone with whatever he is doing for D ' Amore , so , nothing is ever said and he doesn ' t even mention anything about the Dynamic Duo anymore . " Andy said .
" Does he go to the same school as Rosie ? " Grace asked .
" No , we ' re to far out of the same school district . " Andy said .
" If he was in some sort of trouble would he know to come to you or Debra or someone he trusts with a problem ? " Grace asked just thinking of what could quite possibly be the problem with Andy Jr. without actually saying what it is .
" I would hope he would know well enough to do so , but with the way he ' s been lately , I don ' t know , why , you seem to have an idea now of what ' s going on with him ? " Andy questioned her seeing the change in tone from Grace .
" I don ' t know yet , I have my speculations , but I ' m remembering the issues five years ago when we found those pictures Trifecta had taken of Rosie and how she was trying to protect the family from Biohazard by trying to distance herself from dad . " Grace said .
" You think he ' s being stalked or something ? " Andy asked concerned .
" No not stalked , at least I hope not , and it may not even be that bad , Andy . It may just be peer pressure which is enough to drive any kid crazy in this day and age , but it could even be bullying and even things worse than bullying . I don ' t really know , but it does sound similar to the situation with Rosie . " Grace said .
" How do I deal with this ? " Andy asked .
" First of all , its going to need to be more than just you as this maybe something that not just you can handle and it maybe where with Fangs , if one of his parents say anything it may not come out the same way as if someone like a friend , teacher , counselor , or someone like that may sound to him . " Grace said .
" What are you talking about ? " Andy asked confused .
Grace explained more in detail what she wanted to do and by the time she was finished Andy was smiling .
" Grace , you are brilliant . " Andy said .
" Tell that to Chase next time you see him . " Grace said making Andy laugh .
" Yeah , do know that just because you are my family and just because I am not aligned with the Tennessee Connection doesn ' t mean I am not going to side with my Natural partner , Grace . " Andy said .
" Darn , thought I could convert you . " Grace said .
" Not likely , but thanks for the help . " Andy said .
" Hey , like you said we ' re family , right ? " Grace asked .
" Of course , " Andy agreed .
" Then I will gladly help you in anyway possible , Vampire Lord . " Grace said making Andy laugh again .
Saturday School
Andy Jr. was sitting in one of the classrooms at his school that was used for those who were serving detention in Saturday School , after he and one of the other boys had cleaned off the writing he had done on the bathroom wall when the P.E. coached walked in asking that Fangs come and help him in the gym much to the fear of the kid , the teacher over the Saturday School told Andy Jr. to go .
" Alright , we will continue on what we discussed after P.E. last week . " The coach smiled as Andy Jr. nearly a nervous wreck walked into the locker room when he saw the two boys who were involved in gang related activity waiting on them .
" Get in , little wrestler . " One of the gang boys said grinning at Andy Jr. knowing what was about to happen .
" I don ' t want , too . " Andy Jr. shivered also knowing what was going on wishing he could tell his dad or somebody who would put a stop to everything.
" Either , you get in or that sister of your ' s will meet one of us . " The other gang boy informed the Little Natural .
" Talia , " Andy Jr. thought walking into the school , boys locker room without any further complaint , tears falling down his face praying that someone would help him .
Track at AMW ' s Training Facility
Andy and Grace were still out at the track on AMW ' s property when Rosie walked out to see them after Jessie had gotten home from the Impact Zone with her and the twins .
" Hey , " Rosie said .
" Rosie , just the person we were hoping to see . " Grace said hugging sister .
" Not that I am upset at you guys being happy to see me , but why ? " Rosie asked .
" We have something we are wanting to ask you . " Andy said .
" But , it maybe a bit personal , so , if you want us to leave it alone we will , but it also may help Andy Jr. " Grace said .
" Then ask , " Rosie not opposed to helping a member of the family especially one of the future Inheritors as Grace and Jarrett had come up with five years ago as a name for the kids that were the future of TNA .
" Five years ago when Biohazard sent you those pictures what exactly was your thought process when you tried to run away ? " Grace asked Andy looking at them curiously .
" Protecting our family due to Biohazard threatening you guys , Grace , but it wasn ' t until I thought , at the time , that it was better for me to be away from you that I thought about running . Infact , when I first got the message from Biohazard , I was more concerned with protecting the twins than running , so , I kept my mouth shut and smiled when I had to until it got to the point where leaving seemed like the best option . " Rosie said .
" Oh boy , " Grace just thought about what Rosie said about protecting the twins knowing what she would do if her younger siblings were in trouble and knowing how her dad was with Aunt Maria .
" What ? " Andy asked .
" Rosie , five years ago , would a friend telling you to go to your parents or someone to tell them the truth have helped the situation ? " Grace asked before answering Andy .
" It was a friend who told me to talk things out with dad . " Rosie said .
" Who ? " Grace asked confused .
" A1 , " Rosie said .
" Grace ? " Andy asked .
" I think Andy Jr. is protecting Talia and if someone has threatened Talia to the point that Andy Jr. wouldn ' t say anything then its something worse than peer pressure and even bullying . Because , I know what I would do if it was Rosie and the twins being threatened and I have seen how dad reacts to someone going after Aunt Maria . " Grace said about to panic .
" How bad would something be for it to get to that point ? " Andy asked .
" Bad , " Grace and Rosie both said .
" I ' m calling the school , " Andy standing up and walking off calling the school .
" One of us may have to actually talk , Fangs , into talking to Andy . " Grace said .
" I ' m willing to have your back and help our brother . " Rosie said .
" Good , then I may need to have Petey bring Dakota by , because I think this may need to be something that a tag team partner helps out with , Rosie . " Grace said as she dialed Petey ' s number on her cell phone .
" Nice plan , " Rosie said .
" Yeah , I want to come by and pick him up if he ' s finished with his detention . " Andy said .
" Thanks , Petey , you ' re the best . " Grace said hanging up and looking at Andy who hung up with his conversation with who ever at Andy Jr. ' s school .
" I ' m going to pick up , Jr. , could you girls go tell your dad and Storm , and tell them to watch Talia ? " Andy asked .
" Yes , of course . " Grace and Rosie agreed going to the training building as Andy headed out to pick up Andy Jr.
School
" Coach , another teacher is coming , " One of the gang boys said .
" Make sure the kid gets cleaned up . " The coach said to the other one .
" Right , " The boy agreed .
" I can clean up for myself . " Andy Jr. walking away almost sick as he walked into the bathroom daring them to follow him , when he came back he looked himself despite the sick feeling inside of him after what they made him do as the coach left the locker room .
" Kid , you are going to start listening if you want that sister of yours not to get it . " One of the gang members said .
" Yeah , whatever . " Andy Jr. thought to himself as he walked out of the boys locker room .
" Your dad is here to pick you up , go and grab your stuff from the classroom , your detention is done , so , don ' t let me see you back in Saturday School again , " The teacher in charge said looking at the coach and gang boys suspiciously .
" Yes ma ' am , " Andy Jr. said leaving .
Andy Jr. grabbed his stuff from the classroom used for the kids in detention and then headed out to see his dad waiting on him at the front office .
" Dad ? " Andy Jr. asked a little concerned now .
" Come on , we need to go over to AMW ' s they were keeping your sister while I came to get you and with your mom still over at the Impact Zone . " Andy said .
" Okay , did something happen ? " Andy Jr. asked getting in his dad ' s car .
" No , why ? " Andy asked also getting in the car .
" The teacher seemed rushed and panicked when she came to get me , so , I was hoping this new problem with KHAOS wasn ' t any worse or that no one else had gotten attacked . " Andy Jr. said relieved .
" No , but Daniels did get to go home , well to AJ ' s , this morning . " Andy said .
" I guess , five years of peace and quiet was too much to ask for the dodo groups to leave us alone . " Andy Jr. said .
" Except this one hasn ' t really left us anything outside of what happened during the attacks on your Uncle Chase , Daniels , and Eric . " Andy said .
" Great , another mystery . " Andy Jr. sighed as he started feeling ill again .
" What ' s wrong ? " Andy asked seeing the change in his son .
" Just hungry , " Andy Jr . brushed it off .
" Alright , " Andy said thinking about what Grace and Rosie had said earlier going on to AMW ' s place .
AMW ' s Training Facility
Grace and Rosie was in the ring playing around with Talia when Andy and Fangs walked into the training facility , Dakota laughing at Talia as she frog splashed Grace .
" Darn , you must of learned your frog splash from your uncle . " Grace groaning .
" And she does it with force . " Dakota said AMW and Petey were also laughing .
" I was about to say its more of a tadpole splash than a frog splash at the moment with her being so little . " Rosie said .
" Yay , I beat Grace . " Talia cheered .
" The Tennessee Connection needs you on their team , Talia . " Storm laughing .
" Whose side are you on , Uncle James ? " Grace asked .
" Tennessee , " Storm said .
" Hey , you and dad trained me to wrestle . " Grace said confused .
" Sorry about your damn luck , Grace . " James said making Grace ' s jaw drop .
" Dad are you on my side ? " Grace looked at the Wildcat .
" Of course , well , except when you are on the other side of the ring from me , but yes , any other time I am on your side . " Chris said .
" You ' re not very much help , what do you say Petey ? " Grace looked at the Canadian Destroyer .
" I ' m neutral on this . " Petey said .
" And considering that Andy Jr. is my partner and he ' s a Natural , I got to go with the Connection . " Dakota said as Grace looked at Rosie with a smile .
" A heel is suppose to have heat , sis . " Rosie said making AMW and Petey laugh .
" Whose side are you on little one ? " Grace asked Talia , but she had spotted Andy Jr. instead .
" Bubba , " Talia ran to where her brother was standing next to the ring .
" Hey , Little Talia , what are you doing ? " Andy Jr . asked her smiling as she hugged her brother .
" Wrestling with Grace . " Talia said as Chase , Traci , and Katie showed up .
" I saw that , " Andy Jr. said .
" She beat Grace , too . " Dakota said .
" Naturally , " Andy said as Chase laughed coming over .
" Yeah , apparently she learned how to do a frog splash from someone . " Grace looked at Chase .
" Of course , Grace , " Chase smiled as he limped to the ring with the help of the walking stick .
" Hush , hop-along , " Grace said making Chase ' s jaw drop this time .
" Don ' t make me separate you two , " Traci said .
" Sorry , baby , " Chase said making Katie giggled .
" Alright , " Grace said looking at Petey .
" Hey Talia , do you want to go see Mrs. Jessie and the twins ? " Petey asked .
" But , I want to stay with bubba , " Talia said .
" Look , you can come back out here with bubba in a minute , but they need to talk about grown up things , so , how about you come with me and play for a little while ? " Petey explained to her the best he could .
Talia looked at her dad and Uncle Chase who both nodded for her to go with Petey .
" Okay , " Talia said as Petey took Talia from Andy Jr. who was standing their both confused and nervous .
Petey left with Talia to Chris and Jessie ' s house while Andy Jr. continued to get more nervous with each passing moment .
" Uhm , what ' s going on ? " Andy Jr. asked confused as his dad looked at him concerned , but letting Grace , Rosie , Dakota , and Katie try and talk everything out with him .
" Fangs , " Dakota said making Andy Jr. look at him as their eyes met , the issues five years ago had made them bonded and they had developed the ability to communicate with their eyes , just like AMW , the Naturals , Beer Money , Team Canada , and other teams that were in the Extended Family of TNA .
Andy Jr. knew at that moment that everyone of them knew something was going on and they were going to ask , but between wanting to protect Talia , being ashamed of what happened to him , and fear he tried to run from the building only to have Dakota tackle him .
" Forgive me , but this is not the time to start running away , bro . " Dakota said .
" Let me go , Dakota , " Andy Jr . started tearing up shaking in fear and the sickening feeling coming back to him .
" Fangs , what are you afraid of and what ' s with the sudden change in what you believe in ? " Rosie asked .
" You wouldn ' t understand . " Andy Jr. said as Katie saw bruises on his arm .
" Grace , " Katie said pointing them out to Grace who saw what she saw .
