I switched Blake from being Carly's twin sister to just being her cousin, as otherwise it kinda feels like a "remember the new guy?" trope..
As a little girl Ariena is playing in a soccer team in a field somewhere in Liberty City. A drunk Dash begins trash-talking a parent of another team, much to the embarrassment of Sally and Dash's new friend Blake, Carly's cousin.
''I told you to shut up!'' the other parent yelled at Dash. It was another grey cloudy day in LC, Dash wearing her dark green beanie hat and a black hoodie, and some fingerless biker/rockstar gloves, also black.
''Ooo, you want me to kick your ass right here?!'' Dash challanged, Sally and Blake both try getting her to sit down, but Dash does not. She's too drunk.. She has a serious problem, she's just living in denial, always had. Orginally her drinking was more played for a joke, but now it's shown she has a legit Alcohol Disorder, and it's often used to help build story drama. It's getting to the point that it might kill her one day. It's implied Dash has a bit of a depression as well, though it's on and off.
''You want a piece of me?! 'Cause I'm pretty sick of your goddamn mouth!'' the other parent yelled, they are wearing a hoodie so their face isn't seen.
''I'm standing right here! How do you wanna handle it?!'' Dash yelled, her beer cup spilling all over as she waves it around in her anger, some of it getting on Sally, who Blake moves away. Carly and the Lucia sisters mostly kinda drifted apart, Carly not even feeling bad anymore, as they seem have Blake now.
''Dash, just stop.'' Blake growled, but Dash pushes Blake away from her and onto Sally, who catches her. Dash continues egging on her target. Probably a woman, as most men don't like hitting woman unless in self defence. It's left a bit ambigious, they have a deep voice, and a hoodie covering their face.
''I told you to SHUT UP!'' the unnamed parent yelled and throws their beer onto Dash, soaking her, Dash splashes them back and uses that brief distraction to jump tackle them, causing them both to loudly fall off the crowd bench and onto the grass below, interrupting the game as both teams stopped to see the commotion. Dash was actually winning the fight despite her drunken state. Probably helped that she managed to use her enemy as a body shield on the fall.
''Aw jesus not again.'' Ariena groaned while sitting on the team bench, facepalming from embarrassment.
Sally and Blake run down and quickly pull Dash off the still hooded figure, Dash giving a final kick as she's getting pulled away. The still hooded parent manages to crawl up and fearfully runs to the parking lot. ''Yeah run!'' Dash yelled, throwing her now empty cup at the hooded figure, as it landed next to them in the tackle. Their kid running after their parent shortly after.
"Dash, enough!" Sally cried out angrily.
''Yeah Dash, you're embarrassing Ariena.'' Blake growled angrily, just as Carly is coming over two. Sachi was also playing.
''Blake your friend needs help, this is the 7th time.'' Carly said, catching up to them.
''For what?! Help for what?! I'm not allowed to stand up for myself?! I thought this was America! Huh?! Isn't this America?! I'm sorry, I thought this was America!'' Dash slurred, all she can think of doing is quoting Randy from South Park.
Carly, without thinking, slaps Dash in the face. "Carly no!" Sally cried. But too late, Dash goes wild and launches at Carly with murderous rage, but Sally and Blake still keep their grip and hold her away.
''Carly please, that's not helping.'' Blake responded, one of her few times annoyed with Carly.
Carly ignores her and pulled Dash by her hair, forcing her to sit down, Dash throws a weak punch which Carly easily dodges and Dash falls over, knocking herself out. Sally sighs and carries Dash to Sally's blue truck, Blake going in Dash's car to follow them. Carly goes back to her seat, signalling for everyone to continue.
"You could of handled that better Carly." Blake groaned to herself.
CURRENT DAY:
Carly ends up riding her DoubleT bike over to Blake's small street house in downtown Los Santos, one of many other ones near the highway, nothing exciting. The house was empty but otherwise quite nice, Blake doesn't own or need very much, least not in my version. Once going inside and getting past the usual greetings, Carly she's getting worried about Dash and Ariena fighting all the time.
''I know Carly, but that's really not your business.'' Blake replied.
'But maybe it's yours Blake, I know you and Dash are pals, so I thought...'' Carly started, but Blake already knew what she was going to say and sits on a love-seat couch next to her TV, saying ''I tried Carly, but that woman is stubborn, always was.. You're the lucky one, you don't have to "babysit" your friend Pinkie.''
Carly doesn't reply, but does pat her comfortingly.
"Seeing Dash like this reminds me of Amanda." Carly admitted.
"I'm sure." Blake replied.
