With Thanksgiving behind them, Ricardo takes a break from social media. He'd injured his hand, and he was just tired of the constant bad news on Twitter and instagram, so for his own mental health, he hands over his phone to Alicia and smiles weakly as she obligingly deletes all of the apps, leaning in to kiss him once it's done. "There you go," she says, returning the phone to his pocket and lightly patting his thigh.

"Thank you," he tells her, leaning against her. Things are winding down for the year, people planning around the holidays and everything else going on, but he's still very busy between Hybrid and Sabotage, so time away from the stress and unnecessary distraction of the internet will be nice for a few days. She cuddles closer to him and he hums, kissing the side of her head. "So what do you have going on this week?"

She crinkles her nose cutely and sighs. "Mixed Match Challenge with Jinder... against Ember and whoever's going to replace Braun."

"Who do you think it'll be?" he wonders, stroking her back and watching as she mulls over the question. "Maybe it'll be someone ridiculous like No Way Jose or something."

She laughs and then shrugs. "I have no idea, but I hope we win. I want #30 in the rumble!"

He smiles. "Well, if anyone deserves it, it's you," he says, thinking about how she missed out last year after breaking her tailbone just before the match. "Especially considering last year's," he says hesitantly, watching her face fall briefly.

"Yeah," she sighs. "That was the worst thing that could've happened." She eases up and kisses him. "But... this year's going to be a lot better. I won't get hurt, and maybe I'll even win the thing!"

He smiles at her, brushing his fingers through her hair. "Yeah, that would be just about perfect."

"Yeah. I need to make sure that happens!" she exclaims, bouncing to her feet and moving to double check that her gear is packed and ready to go. Once assured that she's as ready as she can be, she turns and smiles at her husband. "2019 is going to blow 2018 out of the park," she declares, returning to his side and cuddling against him. "It's going to be so much fun!"

Ricardo chuckles, nuzzling into her. "I hope you're right," he murmurs. His plans are less concrete than hers, but he'd love to see Sabotage continue to grow, Hybrid become even more successful. Enjoy whatever bookings he manages to get through the year. Maybe get a few more nights of sleep in than he's averaging currently.

One day at a time, he reminds himself, a mantra he's tried to live by since his heart attack. One day at a time...

Alicia finds her success that week, when first she helps Mickie and Dana Brook beat down Sasha and Bayley, and again when she wrestles alongside Jinder to hand Ember her first loss in Mixed Match Challenge, due to her partner being Curt Hawkins. "He tried to pin me!" she squeeches, disgusted by Hawkins' stupid actions. "Ugh! I feel like I need to wash myself off with bleach!"

"Shanti, Alicia, Shanti. It is over and we have won, so it's fine. We'll win next week, and we'll both be #30 in our respective Rumbles, and everything will be perfect," Jinder tells her, the Singh brothers nodding confidently behind him.

She pokes him in the chest. "You'd better be right, Jinder. If you or these two do anything to mess me up, I swear-!" Not sure what exactly she wants to do, she huffs at them and turns on her heel, stomping off while they watch on incredulously.

Once out of sight, she leans against the wall and smiles, "First African American woman to hold both the Divas title and women's title," she murmurs. "I like that. I like that a lot."
