Fun in the sun and Friend fights.
Fred, Joy, Gemma and Andy were waiting at the beach. Diana was late. Andy was already angry with her for leaving him in Detroit and now she was late! (This was the first time they would see each other seine that fight. Although she did talk on the phone and forgave each other.) "Where is she? She's been such a diva lately!" Andy grunted. "Gemma wanna go play volleyball!" Joy asked. "Yea!" "Did you put sunscreen on!" Fred yelled. "Yea dad like six times." Gemma groaned. Joy went of with Gemma. "You think she's still mad at me." Andy grunted. "She might just be in traffic." Fred said as calmly as he can. But then his spirits lifted when he saw Diana at a magazine stand. Andy turned and saw her. She was standing their texting. Her swimsuit was (he couldn't deny it) hot. He stared at her and got another goofy look on his face Fred laughed at this.
She walked over to him and sat down. "Hey baby!" She said smiling a bit worried. He hugged leaned up against him and took out the magazine. Andy was reading it with her. He wasn't to interested in celebrity gossip but she was getting him more into it. When he put his arm around her Fred saw something that Andy usually covered up. It was a tattoo. And their was a good story with this tattoo.
(Flashback 6 years ago after the Super Bowl after party.)
"Woo! This is the best day ever! Did you see how Diana looked. I can't believe I helped win a super bowl!" Andy mumbled excited. (He was a bit drunk.) "let's get you home Andy." Fred said nervously. He had to park very far from the stadium. To make his luck worse he parked outside a tattoo place. "I'm gunna get a tattoo." Andy slurred. "No Andy!" Fred said knowing he'd regret it in the morning. "Shut up dumbass I want it!" Fred sat in a waiting chair; and Andy sat down in the tattoo chair.
"What do ya want?" The tattoo artist asked. "The 49ers logo super bowl champions and 44 in Roman numerals on my back left shoulder." Andy said. It took a while and Fred was glad when it was over. (This was the not the one he used to cover up) "Can we go now!?" Fred said wanting to leave. "Wait I want one more!" Andy grunted. "I want a tattooed heart with the name Diana." Andy said. Fred looked shocked. "Andy what is Diana gunna think?" "She will love it like she should love me!" Andy yelled he looked like he was crying. The tattoo artist finished up. Fred drooped Andy home. For some reason he never removed the tattoo he only ever covered it up.
(Back on the beach)
Diana was looking at the tattoo and smiling. She held his hand and looked up, at his face. Fred looked at their hands. He saw something on Diana's pinky she had a tattoo as well. It said Andy with a little heart at the end of the "Y" in dark black ink.
"Oh Diana is the record producer gunna sign your brother?" Andy asked suddenly. "Yea. He's gunna meet with him when he gets out of prison. Sorry again I left you in Detroit." She said. "Oh it's fine; I am just happy it worked out for him." Andy said smiling. He looked over her shoulder and saw Fred's shocked face. "You got a problem spaghetti legs." He yelled. Joy and Gemma were done with their game and came over. "What's going on here?" Joy asked seeing their faces (Fred's was worry, Andy's was anger and Diana looked embarrassed.) "Diana has a brother. in prison!" Fred blurted out. "Why didn't you tell us that you had a brother?"Joy asked. Diana stared at the ocean. "It never came up in conversation." She said. "What was he arrested for?" Fred asked prying it wasn't something violent. "He stole some cars." She said resetting the urge to yell. "Your brother a bad guy!" Gemma grunted angrily. "Excuse me!" Diana yelled offended. "In school we learned that criminals are bad and can't be trusted." Gemma said looking angry. "My brother isn't bad he just … he just made a bad judgment call." She said very annoyed. "Well we were told that we should trust the police." Gemma said. "Where I grew up kid you have to carful who you trust." Diana said getting angrier. "Don't call me kid!" Gemma yelled. "DONT CALL MY BROTHER A CRIMINAL!" Diana yelled very loudly and lots of people were starting. Diana packed up her things very quickly and ran off. "Diana wait." Andy tried to stop her. "Control that brat!" Andy yelled pointing to Gemma. He ran off after Diana.
He saw her walking to her car. "Diana!" He called out to her. She turned around and hugged him. "I'm sorry I ran of like that." She said looking at the floor. He lifted her face to face his. "Diana it's perfectly fine, Joy and Fred should have stopped her." "Could we talk about this somewhere please? Just you and me." She asked. "Of course baby!" Andy said smiling.
Andy found a park bench and sat down she sat down next to him. "That's why I don't tell people." Diana said looking at their hands. "They always assume he's a murderer or something violent." Andy just started at her he wasn't sure what to say. "I didn't even see Fred there. How could I be so stupid!" She said. "Diana it was an honest mistake it was their fault for not controlling their kid." Andy said rubbing her arm. "That Gemma's a brat, when I have kids Im a raise them right!" Diana said smiling. Andy had a goofy smile. "I know you will babe! How about I go get us some ice cream?" Andy said. "Okay." Diana said feeling a bit better. "I will be right back."
Joy came over and sat next to her. "Diana I am terribly sorry." "You're grounding her right!" Diana said. "Well me and Fred have talked it over and we want her to continue to trust police." Joy said. "You kidding me?" Diana hated the police she had never had a good interaction. "I don't believe in grounding." Joy said. "Well then how are you gunna punish her?" Diana asked. "She has promised to apologize." "That's not a punishment, she has to do that anyway!" "Well what do you want me to do." Joy asked "Take away something she likes!"
Gemma and Fred came up to them. "I'm really sorry auntie Diana, I'm sure your brother is a fine guy. It was unfair of me to judge someone." "Thanks." Diana said sarcastically. Fred's phone started ringing. "Excuse me." He walked off and answered the phone.
"Mommy we have to get Cathy a present!" Gemma said happily. "Oh yes the party's tomorrow!" Diana cleared her throat. "What?" Joy asked. "You wanna know how to punish her? Don't let her go to the party!" Diana said. "But she's so excited about this party." "That's why it's a fitting punishment!" Diana grunted. "But it's not fair to punish her friends!" "It's one party!" Diana yelled. "But you know how hard it is to make friends." "What's that supposed to mean!" Diana yelled. "Well come on besides Fred and I your only other real friend in San Francisco is Andy." Joy said. "I have lots of friends!" Diana said. "But they only like you because your rich and successful!" "At least I got success to speak of you lost your job for being a pushover!" Diana said. "I was just trying to be kind!" Joy said. "Oh yea your such a kind person." Diana said sarcastically. "I am extremely kind un like you, you self conscious bag of bones!" Joy yelled. "Oh the irony! You can't even control your kid!"
"Like you and Andy would be better parents; you two are so caught up in your own lives! Andy would bully the kid and you would make them feel terrible!" "Leave Andy out of this!" Diana yelled. "Okay let's look at your parents. They have raised a criminal and a girl who from the ages of 13 - 26 was pretty much a whore! But that's normal in that shit hole you call Detroit!" Joy yelled. Diana wished Andy was here now more than ever. "Don't insult my family and Detroit is millions time better than Sanfranstinco! And I'm not a whore!" Diana was crying by now and Joy relished what she had done.
"Oh … oh my god Diana I am so sorry." Joy said. "Shut up Joy!" Diana said threw tears. "Diana please I I promise I won't let Gemma go to the party." Joy said. "That's a start but it's not enough." "Diana I am so sorry I didn't mean any of it!" Joy said. "You know I'm your boss right!" Diana yelled. Joy didn't think of this. "But Diana we were friends first!" Joy was now worried about her job. "Please don't fire me!" "Oh no I just want you to know from now on that's all I am YOUR BOSS!" "Diana we can still be friends!" Andy came up with two ice cream cones "Sorry it took so long the line was crazy." Andy said then he saw Diana's face. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I just wanna go home!" She said quietly. "What happened?" "Mommy said some mean things." Gemma said confused about what was going on.
Andy's fists clenched cracking the cones. "Andy it's nothing I just wanna go home." She whispered to him. He threw the ice creams on the sidewalk. "WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT MADE HER CRY!" Andy yelled. "Please Andy I feel terrible." Joy said scared. Diana was holding him back. "Andy let's go!" Diana yelled. "Okay Diana, but if she made you cry you otta fire her!" "I can handle this!"
Diana and Andy were walking away but were stopped by Fred. "Andy I just got a call, this is my last season with the team." Fred said. "Wait they just told you now?" Andy said. "You knew?" Fred said. "Yea I got an email over the weekend. Sorry I thought they told you at the same time." Andy said. "Why didn't you try to save my job!" Fred asked. "Come on man you were rubbish they should have fired you years ago!" Andy grunted. "Wow Andy I thought we were better friends." Fred walked past them and went to Joy to share the news.
The next day was very awkward for Joy she got to work early. She saw Diana's dark green convertible. She looked different today still beautiful but today she looked like she was trying to hard. "Good morning Diana!" Joy said happily. "Morning." Diana said not making eye contact. She unlocked the door and went straight to her office. Joy sat at her desk.
A few minutes later she heard a knock on the door. It was a delivery man. She signed for the package and brought it to Diana. "Oh thank you." Diana said. Diana walked to one of the rooms "Can you bring it in here!" "Sure" Joy gave her the box when she opened it she was shocked by what was inside. "Diana! Is that real fur!" Joy was appalled. "Yea." Diana said. "But Diana how can you!" "I'm sorry? Isn't this a personal issue." Diana said. "But…" "Joy they are paying $80,000 for these rugs!" Diana interrupted. "So your choosing money over animal rights." Joy said. "The cows dead so I don't need you bull." Diana said sassily. "But Diana!" "Joy you can't talk to your boss like this." Diana said. "Come on Diana I feel terrible you know I didn't mean any of it." "Joy do your job and leave me alone or I will fire you!"
At the end of the day Joy was delighted she hated that day at work. She left with Diana. When she got out a lady came up with a bucket of red paint and dunked it on Diana. "Murderer!" The lady yelled and ran off Joy chased after her. Diana was confused. Not only did the woman dunk paint on her but she also painted the words 'murderer' on the door and steeps. A police officer drove by and pulled over. "I didn't murder anyone." She said putting her hands up. "What happened here?" The officer asked. "Some lady came up to me and dumped paint on me and I guess she did all this to." Diana said uncomfortable. Joy came up with the woman. "Is this the girl?" The officer asked. "Yes sir!" Joy said. "Come with me miss." The officer said to the woman. "Wait I don't wanna press charges!" Diana said. "Are you sure?" "Yea I am sure." "Okay miss." The officer drove off.
Diana turned to the woman. "Your gunna clean up this mess! And I will sent you a bill for the dry cleaning!" Diana said. "Okay here's my number I will make sure no one else disturbs you, thanks for not pressing charges." The women said worried. "Whatever!" Diana said stoping off. But she saw her tires were slashed and 'murderer' was carved into the side of the car. "Bitch what did you do to my car!" Diana yelled. "I am so sorry I just got carried away." "Well you bill just got a lot bigger!" Diana stopped off. She called a garage to fix up her car. She changed into different clothes and washed the paint off. "Joy what are you still doing here?" Diana asked. "I will drive ya." Joy said. "Thanks." Diana hated Joys little yellow car but she dealt with it.
"Should I drop you at you place or Andy's?" Joy asked. "Andy's." Diana said. "You really love him don't ya!" Joy said smiling. "Again Joy I'm your boss this conversation is not appropriate." Diana said bluntly. "I really feel terrible about everything I said yesterday." Joy said. Diana just looked out the window. "I didn't let Gemma go to the party she was mad but I think she learned her lesson." Joy said. "See my parents knew what they were doing." Diana grunted. "I can't believe I said that. Your not a whore. And I have no right to judge your brother. And your parents have been nothing but nice." She said. Diana remained silent. Joy tried to remember all the things she said. "And I was just jealous of your friends that's why I said they only liked your wealth and status." Joy said. "You know what hurt the most!" Diana said threw tears." "What?" "You telling me Andy would be a bad father. He's the person I care about most in the world! And I felt worse when you insult him than when you insult me and my family!" Diana said. "I just said that to insult you and make you feel bad." Joy said. "I'm kinda worried about being a parent." Diana said. "Wait are you pregnant!" Joy said excited. "No! I thought I was but it was a fault positive." Diana sounded very sad. "Oh Diana I'm sorry!" Joy said surprised. "Andy took it very hard I didn't even want to tell him until I was sure, but he saw the home pregnancy and he was devastated when we went to the doctor." Diana said checking to make sure her makeup wasn't smudged. Joy pulled up at Andy's building. "You wanna come upstairs for a drink or something?" Diana asked. "Yea." Joy was happy Diana had forgiven her.
Diana walked into the lobby of Andy's building. "Goodnight ." The doorman said. "Night James." Diana said. It was clear she had been here many times. They got on the elevator and Diana slid a card which illuminated three buttons. "Andy's apartment is three floors?" Joy asked. "Well technically 4 but you can only reach the forth in the service elevator. It's were he keeps all his cars." Joy never realized how big his place was. "He's probably in the gym right now." Diana said pressing 'O'Gara 2'. The door opened and Diana walked down a few hallways to a full gym Andy was at a punching bag he was dressed in a tang top and boxers. Joy waited at the door (she felt kinda uncomfortable) but Diana went in. When he saw Diana he smiled. "You're a bit late, but your worth the wait." he said smiling. Then he grabbed her around the waist. And started making out with her.
She pushed him away after a while remembering Joy was there. "Joys here." "What's she doing here!" Andy grumbled. "I invited her up for a drink, she apologized." "Fine." Andy threw on some sweat pants and led Joy to the bar in his apartment. "I really am sorry." Joy said. "You said I would be a bad father!" Andy grunted. "I didn't mean it, you guys will be great parents! That's why we chose you for Gemma's god parents!" Andy was not satisfied with this he was about to say something but Diana whispered something in his ear. "Okay Joy but I want an apology card from Gemma!" Andy said Diana rolled her eyes at this. "Okay." Joy was happy enough being forgiven.
"Diana guess what came today!" Andy said smiling. "The vodka!" Diana asked excited. "Yup!" "Oh my gosh Joy you have to try this stuff! Andy's friend makes it, it's amazing!" Diana said. "Oh umm I will just have a Coke." Joy said. "Okay well more for us." Andy said passing Joy a can of Coke. They sure did have a lot of that stuff, sometimes Joy though they had a bit too much.
