Zenna Zdunich looks around the room she and the rest of American Murder Log, her wife, Linnéa Lacroix, her sister-in-law Alissa Lacroix, and Alissa's fiancée, Kelly Taylor. The fifth member, Zenna's younger sister, Katra Zdunich, tended to come to practice via video call from her home in New Jersey. Zenna sits in a chair next to one of her guitars, an Ibanez GIO Series GRZ70QA with a transparent red burst finish, enjoying it as the camera takes it all in.

Zenna Zdunich: I could stand here and say nothing but mostly good things about Cassie Wolfe, ja?

Zenna nods as she runs her right hand lovingly along the guitar's neck as if it alone contains the answers to every question in the world.

Zenna Zdunich: I could just talk about her and how she is relentless and unforgiving when she believes she has been wronged…

She nods and then shrugs to herself, snickering slightly.

Zenna Zdunich: Even when she's chasing the wrong person in that situation because she was fixating on who threw the punch and not the person who made sure she got punched.

The redheaded Swede shrugs unapologetically.

Zenna Zdunich: Then again, we all make mistakes like that sometimes.

She sighs heavily, knowing she resembles that remark herself.

Zenna Zdunich: I could talk about how she's chasing Alicia Lukas and how I was once on a show with Alicia  where she was the main event and I was in the band that opened the show. 

Zenna nods happily at the memory of that show.

Zenna Zdunich: It was a good night. We played well, Alicia won.

Zenna nods knowingly.

Zenna Zdunich: I know, typical Alicia story, ja?

She nods again even as she stands up.

Zenna Zdunich: I could do all that but…

Zenna almost laughs to herself at the very idea.

Zenna Zdunich: I know that won't matter at all because two Metal Maniacs will make certain no matter what we do, what we intend, we will not get the fight we want or deserve because they want to fuck with us and they will be coming. There is no stopping that…

Glaring into the camera, the redheaded Swede cocks her head slightly.

Zenna Zdunich: I know.

She nods grimly.

Zenna Zdunich: I know you are coming, Maniacs. I know Cassie will not stop coming at me. I know this will be a long night for me but I am ready to fight.   

The camera zooms in to frame her face.

Zenna Zdunich: Kämpa mot mig!

Sitting at her desk in her office, Seleana Zdunich stretches her arms, her Zdunich Zoological Gardens t-shirt, black with a picture of Sarabi the lioness sunning herself in her habitat, moves with her. The design had come from her daughter, Aurora. As she looks over a few documents, comparing numbers to the ones on her computer screen, several employees, Sam "Razorback" Matthews, Diego "Junior" Muñoz, Carlton "Cerberus" Martin and Julián "Cachorro" Carrillo, all members of the San Clemente Charter of the Chrome Dragons Motorcycle Club. It was the brother club of the Shieldmaidens club that her daughter-in-law, Haylie Jo "Halo" Annis, was the Vice President of. Razorback worked primarily with the wild pigs. Cerberus Junior worked in security while Cachorro worked in the office. Cerberus was an officer with the MC, Razorback a full patch, while Junior and Cachorro were both prospects who had not been patched in fully yet. The four men in full biker vests and regalia look to Seleana, not looking happy at all.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: We might have a situation.

Seleana sits back, frowning in confusion. The Dragons were not in the habit of sounding alarms in this fashion.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja?

Razorback nods solemnly, clearly worried about something.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: Y'all remember them douchefuck used to try and hold you up for money because of supposed debts run up by your family?

Seleana nods slowly, almost awkwardly, waiting for the shoe to drop.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja?

Cerberus grinds his teeth for a second, hating that they have to show patience.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: We've heard rumblings that a new faction is looking to move in on the territory here, meaning we might see action against the established powers. They think there's a vacuum that needs filling. 

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: We might get caught in a crossfire here if this starts a war.

Cerberus nods in anticipation.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: These guys think they can move in on everybody and just push out the other gangs, MCs, Japanese, Mexicans…

Seleana stares at him for a second before frowning hard.

Seleana Zdunich: Where does this come at us?

Razorback sighs, allowing it to be colored by both annoyance and sadness with a little bit of worry sprinkled on top.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: They think there are customers to be scooped up and stolen.

Seleana shakes her head quickly, indicating emphatically the negative answer coming.

Seleana Zdunich: But there are none. No one uses anymore and if they wish to discuss dealers, they are talking to the wrong side of the family.

Cerberus nods stiffly, coolly.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: Yeah, but they might come after Halo and CRAVE over The Church and will no doubt go after TWill, possibly Sofia.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: And the kids…

Sudden realization hits the blonde Swede like a bomb going off.

Seleana Zdunich: They would do such things?

All four nod in unison.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: It all comes back to TWill.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: Cuervo has been in contact with her cousin, Salazar. He's not happy at this bullshit gettin' everybody greasy.

Seleana frowns somewhere between Mama Bear and straight up Serial Killer.

Seleana Zdunich: We need more security for the animals and visitors, especially children?

Razorback nods.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: Already on it. Junior and Cachorro been expandin' systems. Gonna put a command center in the next room.

Cerberus nods grimly.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: Gonna bring the Japanese up to speed soon. They already know about Gino and Joey so showing them the new stuff might just be fun.

Seleana nods her approval.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, good deal. Money will be no problem.

Razorback grins.

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: Just thought y'all needed to know before Fresno.

Seleana nods equally grimly.

Seleana Zdunich: Alexandra Calaway call for vigilance. Rori and E will be safe this weekend.

Cerberus nods, calm yet rigid.

Carlton "Cerberus" Martin: We will be running patrols. Halo's setting it up.

Seleana Zdunich: It will be good then, ja?

Sam "Razorback" Matthews: Everything's ready, y'all ain't gotta worry about nothin'.

Seleana nods gratefully.

Seleana Zdunich: Tack.

Seleana Zdunich stands by the side door of the main zoo building, seemingly ready to get ready to go.

Seleana Zdunich: Alexandra…

She nods grimly.

Seleana Zdunich: We have met before and it went…

Seleana nods, more to herself than anything else.

Seleana Zdunich: You have established yourself here in SCW, ja?

She nods pointedly.

Seleana Zdunich: There is no denying this, Chickie. Now we come together to see who gets an opportunity at the Internet Championship.

Cocking her head, Seleana glares forward.

Seleana Zdunich: We compete to get a chance at a championship neither of us have won so far.

She nods while pointing to herself.

Seleana Zdunich: I won the Roulette Championship and the World Championship.

She pauses to point into the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: You won the Roulette Championship twice.

The point falls out of the shot but her gaze holds steady.

Seleana Zdunich: Now we see if one of us can walk into a third reign. If I do, it'll be my third separate championship and drive everyone crazy again as they search for another way to dismiss me. If you do it'll be your third reign and the first time it's not the Roulette Championship.

Seleana smirks.

Seleana Zdunich: Either way, it helps send a message to the roster that the person doing it should not be underestimated again. but…

The smile spreads through her eyes.

Seleana Zdunich: We have to get there first, ja?

Motioning to follow, Seleans starts off towards her vehicle.

Seleana Zdunich: I am ready for this and will enjoy this fight. See you there, Chickie.

Zenna Zdunich walks back into her room and nods to her phone. Smiling back at her is Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström. Zenna grins and falls into their native Swedish.

Zenna Zdunich: (How are the girls?)

Lovie smiles back.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (They miss you, but they enjoy crawling around with Lucy.)

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: (I will be home soon.)

Lovie looks over and her smile grows.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (Little SG is crawling over to Lis' bass.)

Zenna's smile matches Lovie's at hearing about her daughter's activity.

Zenna Zdunich: (She might follow us into that.)

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (They all like the music. They all get upset when the music stops.)

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: (They have been that way since birth. They would hear us practice and rock out like it was the greatest thing ever. They love when Li sings to them.) 

Looking to the left.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (Morgan Ash is heading for the drums. Livvie and Lissy are chasing after Lucy.)

Zenna chuckles.

Zenna Zdunich: (They never catch the dog. Lucy just knows how to evade them.)

Lovie nods.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (What condition will you be in when you return?)

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: (I make no hens out of feathers, I expect we will all be beaten severely. Mercedes deserves it. That's Christina as well. I'm certain they would say the same for us.)

Lovie sighs.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (Seleana agrees with this?)

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: (Seleana does not know what she thinks about this matter. She wants her family but does not know how to cut through everything. To the devil in hell, Mercedes deserves to be beaten severely. This all started with her. I still do not know what she hoped to gain from this. She got her beard stuck in the breadbox, now she shit in the blue locker. Christina hopes to clean this up but she will not slide in on a shrimp sandwich.)   

Lovie nods knowingly.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: (Mercedes has always sounded like a cunt.)

Zenna nods emphatically in agreement with this assessment.

Zenna Zdunich: (She is a fucking cunt. There is no cow on the ice, she will get what is coming to her.)

Lovie nods as Little SG crawls up to her. She scoops up the toddler and nods at the camera and screen before her.

Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström: Say hello to Mamma,  Darling.

The little girl sees her mother and squeals.

Stacy Guinivere:  Mommy!

Zenna smiles at her daughter.

Zenna Zdunich: Hello, Little One!

The toddler reaches for the screen.

Stacy Guinivere:  Mommy come home?!?

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: I will be home soon. I love you, Älskling.

The call ends as Lovie's sister, Ingrid, comes in to get the little ones into the other room for a feeding. Zenna nods and looks at the door.

Zenna Zdunich: That is why we fight…

The camera opens on Zenna and the Swedish redhead nods knowingly.
   
Zenna Zdunich: Mercedes, fitta!

She glares into the camera.

Zenna Zdunich: Christina, I don't know why you stay by her side. She put you on the spot and told you she was more important than your wife.

Zenna shakes her head.

Zenna Zdunich: Nothing is more important than your family!

Looking so annoyed she might spit, Zenna shakes her head in disgust.

Zenna Zdunich: You throw away your family, how do we know you will not throw away your sobriety?

Zenna glares incredulously at the thought.
 
Zenna Zdunich: And for that?

The disgust boils over.

Zenna Zdunich: Fitta not worth that!

Again, Zenna shakes her head, unable to believe this is real.

Zenna Zdunich: Fitta!

She looks back up into the camera.
 
Zenna Zdunich: Fitta deserves nothing.

She nods and points to herself.

Zenna Zdunich: We will give you what you deserve, Mercedes!

She nods gravely.

Zenna Zdunich: You cannot run forever.

Zenna glares even more harshly.

Zenna Zdunich: Time waits for no one, not even you…

She nods.

Zenna Zdunich: But Wildside does!

Her glare intensifies even more.

Zenna Zdunich: It is time!

People would ask, why Luxor?

Well, when your sister is paying and her kids want the big black pyramid, you stay at the big black pyramid. Now, in the next room down, Zenna Zdunich looks at the faces of her young children playing in the living room back home next to the English bulldog, Lucy.

Zenna Zdunich: The girls are enjoying themselves, ja?

Her wife, Linnéa Lacroix, grins.

Linnéa Lacroix: Always.

Her sisters-in-law, Alissa Lacroix and Kelly Taylor, sit on the opposite couch.

Alissa Lacroix: They love playing on the floor.

Kelly nods in agreement.

Kelly Taylor: If Lucy moves, they'll start bloody speed crawling in what looks like a race to the kitchen.

Zenna grins.

Zenna Zdunich: We're at the Luxor. I''m half-surprised your niece is not here.

Kelly frowns but Alissa nods.

Alissa Lacroix: They admit they're sweet on each other yet?

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: Do they need to? They're teenagers who would emulate their mothers. Aurora especially worships hers.

Kelly grins.

Kelly Taylor: Brilliant!

Alissa Lacroix: Aw, Rori and JuJu wouldn't have to worry about parents' approval would they?

Zenna shakes her head.

Zenna Zdunich: Nej.

Linnéa grins.

Linnéa Lacroix: So, does that mean we're waiting for them to admit they're sweet on each other, or waiting to admit they already acted on it?

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: Could be either…

She pauses.

Zenna Zdunich: Though, they're probably waiting to see what happens in a week after the fight finally happens.

Alissa grins.

Alissa Lacroix: You getting the fitta too?

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja, Christina AND the fitta against me and Sarabi.

She pauses again.

Zenna Zdunich: And we see if Christina shows up or Crystal does.

Linnéa nods and then starts singing.

Linnéa Lacroix: I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time 'till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years I can no longer pay

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja.

Alissa nods genuinely curious.

Alissa Lacroix: Which one do you expect?

Exhaling deeply, thoughtfully, Zenna ponders the question. Which one did they expect, Christina or Crystal?

Zenna Zdunich: I…

She looks down at her feet, thinking it over.

Zenna Zdunich: I want it to be Christina. I do…

Trailing off, Zenna looks up.

Zenna Zdunich: But I am afraid it will be like we were the first time we were in recovery and no matter how much we wanted to stay from the shit…

Alissa and Kelly both nod understandingly.

Linnéa Lacroix: Sarabi?

Zenna Zdunich: She has always wanted it to be Christina.

She sighs deeply.

Zenna Zdunich: I think Sarabi hopes beyond hope that it will be Christina but is afraid the fitta has gotten in too deep.

Linnéa nods.

Linnéa Lacroix: And you are more?

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: I hope but I am more waiting for the worst.

Linnéa nods.

Linnéa Lacroix: Well, let's hope that hope wins.

Zenna nods slightly.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja.

She leans forward and ends the call.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja, hopp och kärlek.

The camera opens on Zenna Zdunich standing in front of the bed in her room.

Zenna Zdunich: So here we go, ja?

She nods firmly.

Zenna Zdunich: Christina has to admit which one is real and what she wants and stop listening to that fitta, Mercedes Vargas!

She looks away, seething.

Zenna Zdunich: Fire And Fury is a bullshit name. There is no fury and the fire is cold.

Turning back to the camera, Zenna nods as if she's already made a point.

Zenna Zdunich: You make hens out of feathers, both of you.

She nods pointing accusingly into the camera.

Zenna Zdunich: Christina does it so she doesn't have to show who she really is and you, Mercedes…

She lets her head cock to the right.

Zenna Zdunich: You try to act like Sarabi is not a good wife or mom or anything else. You try to act like Christina would be better off without her and try to drive a wedge.

Zenna shakes her head incredulously.

Zenna Zdunich: You are the most insecure team I have ever met in my life.

She nods pointedly before continuing.

Zenna Zdunich: You should both be absolutely set in your careers and yet, no matter how much you win, no matter how much you accumulate, it is never enough to cover up the sad little girl at the core.

Her anger starts boiling up.

Zenna Zdunich: You are not stuck in Argentina fighting drug gangs for control. You got away and made something of yourself so why are you acting like you are just a poor girl stuck in a warzone you cannot escape?

Shaking her head, Zenna points to herself momentarily.

Zenna Zdunich: We are not the white people you sell that to.

She shakes her head again.

Zenna Zdunich: We do not see you as a victim to save from poverty. You should not need saving from that!

She pauses to let that settle and then nods.

Zenna Zdunich: But you do need saving from us.

She shakes her head and spits in disgust.

Zenna Zdunich: Fitta!

She glares back into the camera.

Zenna Zdunich: You start this. We end it and if we need to end you to do it, we will.

The camera zooms in to just a close-up of her face.

Zenna Zdunich: Din jävla fitta!

Zenna Zdunich smiles at her screen seeing her little girls waddling around their living room back in New Orleans, the nannies, Lovie and Ingrid grinning from the couch while the small toddlers, Morgan Ash, Livvie, Lissy and Little SG, all tried to play something different at the same time.

Zenna Zdunich: The little ones seem excited.

Kelly Taylor nods.

Kelly Taylor: We told them they might see all my sisters soon.

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: Quite the chat, ja?

Kelly shrugs.

Kelly Taylor: DNA tests have made it a thing.

Zenna shakes her head. Ever since the testing started to prove that most of Gem Stones were Taylors under it all as well and thus Kelly had gone from having one sister to five and counting, any kind of family visit had gotten more numbers to it as well as becoming more time consuming. The fact that most of the new sisters seemed to have married into the same family made that easier since they had already met and since they were connected to the Shieldmaidens MC and that club had started in New Orleans, contact was much easier to maintain.

Kelly Taylor: Sangre has her sisters at the ready.

Sangre was Essie "Sangre" Carbajal, the Sgt-At-Arms of the New Orleans Charter. Her Sisters, Amparo "Loba" Carbajal, Paloma Carbajal and Monica Carbajal, were all connected to the Mount Diablo Charter in California and were all at least talking to people connected to the Gem Stones.   

Zenna Zdunich: Have they decided the music is "sweet as?"

Kelly shrugs.

Kelly Taylor: They can be bloody brilliant but…

She trails off and Zenna nods knowingly. Colombians were known to be a bit mad no matter whose standards you were using and the Carbajals seemed to all collectively fit that assessment.

Zenna Zdunich: Tokig, ja?

Kelly snickers.

Kelly Taylor: Slightly mad?

She nods.

Kelly Taylor: Yes.

Zenna smirks.

Zenna Zdunich: I have to be familiar with that. I have a match on Sunday where to win, you have to choke your opponent with garland from the ropes.

Kelly's fiancée and the band's bassist, Alissa Lacroix, stares at her sister-in-law as if Zenna was speaking an indecipherable language somebody made up for small children.

Alissa Lacroix: Trying for "Christmassy" violence?

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja, they have to do something to spice up the match since neither of us will be trying to kill the other just to watch them die, neither of us is usually an asshole and Amelia and I have never met. It is a random, cold match that we will both want to win for pure competition and to have momentum going into championship matches at the next show.

Alissa and Kelly nod.

Kelly Taylor: This will be when you finally get to exact a modicum of revenge on Mercedes Vargas?

Alissa shakes her head.

Alissa Lacroix: Strange way to get ready for that, fighting Amelia Reynolds in a…

She pauses awkwardly.

Alissa Lacroix: Who came up with the garland thing?

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: The company.

Kelly and Alissa both grimace in disgust.

Kelly Taylor: Why?

Alissa Lacroix: It seems…

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: Amelia and I will wrestle…

She nods in acknowledgement.

Zenna Zdunich: At least until Mercedes gets in the way. Maybe she bring Christina or Frankie Holliday with her. Something will likely happen, ja?

Kelly and Alissa consider this for a second. Mercedes and Frankie did tend to be different levels of douchebag and Christina gets dragged along with them at times.

Kelly Taylor: That is a thought.

Alissa nods her agreement.

Alissa Lacroix: Yeah and who knows what frame of mind Christina is in. IS she Christina or is she Crystal?

Kelly shakes her head.

Kelly Taylor: Bloody Chrystalina…

Alissa shrugs.

Alissa Lacroix: She's still married to Sarabi.

Kelly Taylor: Do we have to remember that?

Alissa Lacroix: Rori is best friends with your niece.

Zenna  snickers as Kelly shakes her head.

Kelly Taylor: I know, nice girls.

Zenna Zdunich: Ja, we will take care of them and be careful of the kids. Rori and JuJu deserve the best.

Alissa smiles.

Alissa Lacroix: Ja.

Kelly nods and Zenna smiles at her daughters behind them.

Zenna Zdunich: Take care of our girls, ja? I will see them when I get home Monday.

Alissa and Kelly nod happily as the video call ends.

Zenna Zdunich: Now, we see how this goes.

Zenna had seen her wife and their kids off at the airport, a friend of theirs making sure they got to fly private which helps with four exceptionally small children.

Zenna Zdunich: Alicia Lukas…

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, es la verdad…

Seleana looks down, tears welling up in her eyes now. Zenna looks at her sister, concern written all over the redhead's face.

Zenna Zdunich: Sarabi?

Seleana sobs.

Seleana Zdunich: Why? Why did she not want me anymore?

She sobs more and more.

Seleana Zdunich: What I do wrong?

The blonde Swede shakes her head through her tears.

Seleana Zdunich: Why I not good enough?

Zenna hugs her sister.

Zenna Zdunich: Just focus on Alicia Lukas, ja? You fight her. You know her. You know you can, you do before.

Seleana nods.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, I do.

Zenna holds her elder sister's face with both hands.

Zenna Zdunich: You can do this, Sarabi. I believe in you.

Seleana hugs her younger sister and then tries to pull herself together.

Seleana Zdunich was not happy at all and really hadn't been for months. 

Her marriage had basically ended after seven years and she still did not really know why. Her wife, Christina, had attacked her and forced her into a match Seleana really did not want to take part in and then had made sure to attack her again alongside Mercedes Vargas.

After the incident in Sweden with Cassie Wolfe and Mercedes Vargas, Christina had not only remained silent on what had precipitated the whole thing but had then missed their anniversary. Seleana's sister, Zenna, had made sure to come from New Orleans to see how things really were. She'd gone home and come back again, having taken a job with SCW on the roster right next to her sister.

Zenna Zdunich: So, what now?

Seleana barely looks up.

Seleana Zdunich: I…

She shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: I don't know…

She looks up at Zenna, despair evident on her face.

Seleana Zdunich: I… just…

She trails off, desperately trying to find the words in any language.

Seleana Zdunich: Shenzi, how I do?

She looks up into her sister's eyes.

Seleana Zdunich: How I tell Aurora I no know how… do her…

She searches for the word she knows belongs here.

Seleana Zdunich: Quinceañera?

Zenna just looks at her sister with both confusion and concern.

Zenna Zdunich: You don't know?

Seleana shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: Christina keep saying she would plan. She know, but…

She shakes her head again and Zenna nods understandingly.

Zenna Zdunich: But she never get around to it?

Nearly completely losing it, Seleana nods.

Seleana Zdunich: I no know what do. Aurora has birthday next month. Big deal in their community. Elijah losing what little stability he have. Christina and Alex both leave, Alex try leave door open.

She squeezes her eyes shut to try and maintain what little composure she still had.

Seleana Zdunich: Car reminder of everything…

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: You never did seem to like that car. 

Seleana sighs heavily.

Seleana Zdunich: It… nice…

As she falters and fumbles for words again, her sister simply nods as if everything exactly what she knew was coming. 

Zenna Zdunich: But…?

Seleana sighs heavily.

Seleana Zdunich: It… too much?

Zenna cocks her head slightly.

Zenna Zdunich: Too fast? Too expensive? Too much gas?

Seleana sighs with a whimper.

Seleana Zdunich: Too Christina.

Zenna nods.

Zenna Zdunich: She bought it for you?

The elder Zdunich Sister nods sadly, tears starting to stream down her face.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, it was her first big gift.

She shakes her head, the tears coming more forcefully now.

Seleana Zdunich: I no know what do with it.

Wiping at her eyes, Seleana tries to pull herself together with no success.

Seleana Zdunich: I cry just see it. I…

Zenna nods knowingly, understandingly yet again.

Zenna Zdunich: You cannot use but you cannot get rid of it either, can you?

Seleana sniffles twice and then shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: Nej.

Zenna nods slowly.

Zenna Zdunich: Then we need to find a storage type garage for it. It'll be safe but out of sight. As for the quinceañera, we have resources for that. Mary, Chavy, her sisters, Morgan, even Christina's sisters. We'll obviously have to consult Christina and, of course, we'll need to ask Aurora what she wants.

Seleana nods.

Seleana Zdunich: You good at mothering, Shenzi.

Zenna shrugs.

Zenna Zdunich: I had a good teacher.

Seleana nods, trying to smile weakly.

Seleana Zdunich: I need to get ready for the Bella match in Los Angeles area.

Zenna Zdunich: We call Mary for tips on where we stay there.

Seleana Zdunich: Tack, Shenzi.

Zenna smiles.

Zenna Zdunich: What are sisters for?     

"And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you sayin'
You would never break the chain"

Packing.

This was not what Seleana Zdunich thought she'd be doing right now. Packing for a quick trip to South Beach for a show was one thing. This was something else entirely.

This was catastrophic change packing, possibly forever.

Seleana was already upset that her marriage was probably over, but looking down the barrel of being homeless and having to tell the children that their stability was going away because she was moving out of the apartment Aurora had called home for the last six years or so and who knew where she was going or where the children were gonna be since Alexandra Diamond" Caldwell was probably not staying here either.

Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell: Are you sure about this?

Seleana sighs sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: She say she want nothing to do with me and then made certain I was first out of the battle royale.

The tears start up fresh again.

Seleana Zdunich: She dump me.

Looking down, Seleana's hands come up to her face.

Seleana Zdunich: What did I do?
She looks up slightly, moving her gaze to Diamond.

Seleana Zdunich: What did I do wrong?

She starts to shake trying to hold back the torrent.

Seleana Zdunich: Why she no want me anymore, Alex?

Diamond steps up to the Swedish woman and grabs a hold of her, allowing Seleana to bury her face onto the black woman's shoulder and sob profusely.

Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell: I don't…

Before she can finish the thought, the children, Aurora and Elijah, appear at the doorway, bags in hand.

Aurora Zdunich: We're ready, Mommy.

Seleana looks up at the children and almost starts sobbing harder, the guilt and shame washing over her. Diamond hugs her closer as the children walk up and join the embrace. Seleana allows herself to accept the family hug and returns it as well. She nods to the kids.

Seleana Zdunich: You have chosen to come with me?

Both Aurora and Elijah nod and Seleana hugs them tightly, lovingly.

Seleana Zdunich: Jag älskar er båda.

This was going to be strange regardless. Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada and Jane "Hammer" Harper had invited Seleana and her kids to stay at their home the second they'd heard what happened on Friday in Cancun.

They probably would have offered faster if they'd heard about the near fistfight in Las Vegas as Seleana was leaving. Crystal has arrived and objected to both children going with Seleana. The only reason there had not been a full-on physical dust-up between the two is that Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell had stepped in to stop Crystal when it was clear the two children were going willingly, that they had made the choice on their own.

Seleana, Aurora and Elijah walk up to the door of the domicile and ring the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door opens to find Chi Chi almost chattering in machine gun Japanese. Seleana stares at theJapanese woman, visibly taken aback by the homeowner's ferocity.

Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: Sel-chan!

Chi Chi brightens up immediately.

Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: You come!

Seleana nods slowly.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, we come.

As everybody stands there, Elijah steps forward and bows respectfully to Chi Chi before speaking in perfect Japanese.

Elijah Zdunich: (I wish to convey my presence and thank you for allowing us to be here. )

All three women standing there look on in shock, their jaws dropping.

Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: (You speak Japanese?)

Elijah Zdunich: (I try.)

Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: (Where did you pick that up?)

Elijah Zdunich: (It was a class option. I was the only student so the class went at my speed.)

Seleana shakes her head at her son, clearly still shocked. Aurora stares at her brother in disbelief.

Aurora Zdunich: Have you always been able to do that?

Elijah shrugs.

Elijah Zdunich: I never tried with a real Japanese person before. I might not have been very good at it.

Chi Chi shakes her head.

Chiaki "Chi Chi" Sanada: (You speak very well, Young One.)

Elijah smiles for the first time and bows again, this time in gratitude.

Elijah Zdunich: (Thank you, Miss Sanada.)

Chi Chi smiles and waves them inside the house.

It had been a time of apparent change in the Zdunich House. Seleana Zdunich was facing a marriage crisis with wife, Christina "Crystal Hilton" Zdunich. Christina was allowing Crystal to take over and reassert herself and thus the family had been sacrificed, at least temporarily, on the altar of her career, which did not require such a thing. It had already reached such heights as to be unable to truly be denied. But Christina had chosen to do this anyway, driving Seleana and Alexandra away. Seleana had brought the two minor children with her to San Clemente. Alexandra had returned to Los Angeles, the city she had called home until the mansion in the Hollywood Hills had been burned down earlier this year by the wildfires.

Seleana's middle sister, Zenna Zdunich, had also arrived from New Orleans where her wife cousins, Lovisa "Lovie" Vikström and Ingrid Vikström, help the others who dwell within Lacroix house with Zenna, Linnéa Lacroix, her sister Alissa Lacroix and Alissa's fiancée, Kelly Taylor, the cousins functioning as additional nannies to the four adopted babies of Morgana Ashley, Olive Yseult, Melissa Vivian and Stacy Guinivere. The babies had been born to their paternal cousin, Lincoln Delacroix, who had died just after the babies' birth from cancer. The doctors had said it was a miracle of sorts that she'd made it long enough to actually have the babies. Lincoln had decided the miracle was that any of the five of them were still around after their years of drug abuse. The four who lived in that house had all managed to go to rehab and buy-in to the process, finding sobriety well enough to help others. This had actually come in handy fulfilling Lincoln's naming request for the babies. She wanted them all to have an Arthurian connection and it just so happened that one of the friends they wanted to name one of the babies already had such a connection built-in.  Linnéa had been the counselor and sponsor of Morgana "Morgan Payne" Cassiano so they combined her name with fellow friend Ashley Kenyon to name the first baby Morgana Ashley, Morgan Ash. The others, Livvie, Olive Yseult, was named after their sister-in-law, youngest sister Katra's wife, Olive "Krigare" Zdunich, Lissa, Melissa Vivian, was named after Melissa "Maki" Aki, and Little Sg, Stacy Guinivere was named after the woman who had originally introduced Seleana to Christina, Stacy Jones.

The rehab things had also come in handy when Christina had shown up on their doorstep looking for help with her own addiction issues. That had ended with Zenna becoming her sponsor after Zenna had hunted her down at a bar on Bourbon Street. Zenna and Christina had both been arrested after a fight because Christina was having doubts about stopping her usage of both cocaine and alcohol and had tried to push Zenna off of her. That lasted until the first shot landed and Christina had found that trying to physically fight Zenna was an exercise in futility on her part. Now Zenna had come running, hearing her elder sister was having the problem she was having.

(In Swedish)

Zenna Zdunich: (You have separated from Christina?)

Selena nods sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: (She told me she wanted nothing to do with me.)

Zenna nods, understandingly yet quite visibly annoyed.   

Zenna Zdunich: (Is she sober?)

Seleana shakes her head, uncertain of the truth of the matter.

Seleana Zdunich: (I do not know. When I mentioned that, is when she became angry and said what she said to me.)

Zenna nods, contemplating the situation.

Zenna Zdunich: (So either she is not sober or was looking for an excuse to strike out because the thought had crossed her mind and this was an attempt at distraction.)

She pauses solemnly.

Zenna Zdunich: (Or she was making hens out of feathers because she'd shit in the blue locker and did not wish to admit such things.)

Seleana nods in agreement.

Seleana Zdunich: (She might have caught her beard in the letterbox.)

Zenna Zdunich: (Either way, who is this she is choosing over you, Alex and the children?)

Seleana sighs heavily.

Seleana Zdunich: Mercedes Vargas.

Zenna nods at the name.

Zenna Zdunich: (Is she the one you have used that word about?)     

Seleana nods, visibly upset.

Seleana Zdunich: (Yes.)

Zenna shakes her head in disgust.

Zenna Zdunich: (And Christina picked her over you?)

Seleana nods sadly.         

Seleana Zdunich: (She does not believe in me. She thinks I am ungrateful for what she did for me with the championships.)

Zenna Zdunich: (You should be grateful that she made sure everyone would be talking about her and not see you as a real champion?)

Seleana nods as the tears threaten to overwhelm her again.

Seleana Zdunich: (Yes.)

Zenna can't believe her ears.

Zenna Zdunich: (I am sorry to hear this and I wish I could say I was surprised but I am not. I saw how she could be when I had to take her off Bourbon Street.)

Seleana nods through her tears.

Seleana Zdunich: (How could she do this to the children? They see all three of us as mother. It is priceless.)

She shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: (I knew something was up when she missed our anniversary. I should have known after Mercedes said what she said in Stockholm and caused the problem with Cassie.)

Pausing and shaking her head through her tears, Seleana exhales, trying not to just lose it completely in front of her little sister.

Seleana Zdunich: (Christina still has not even slowed down with Mercedes.)

zenna nods like she knew this was coming.

Zenna Zdunich: (Is that why you questioned if they were fucking?)   

Seleana nods sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: (Yes. I trusted her. I believe in her.)

She looks down just as much in shame as anything else.

Seleana Zdunich: (I love her. Our family is everything to me. I do not understand how it is not for her.)

Zenna takes the sobbing Seleana into her arms knowing there's nothing she can say to help and silently thanking whatever is listening that Jane and Chi Chi were here for her elder sister.

Paradise Beach
Mykonos, Greece
Friday, August 15, 2025
?:?? PM local time





Sitting on the beach in a pink bikini after a photoshoot and staring at her phone, Seleana Zdunich waits for her call to connect. This was one of the times the phone was both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, her wife, Christina "Crystal" Zdunich, had insisted on it being the latest, most expensive model that money could buy so it worked everywhere imaginable. On the other hand, just seeing it reminded Seleana of her wife and everything she tended to do and with everything going on with Mercedes Vargas lately, that was not necessarily a good thing.

Voice: Hello?

Seleana smiles at the voice of her daughter, Aurora, back home in Las Vegas.

Seleana Zdunich: Heya, Rori, how's it?

Aurora grins at seeing her mother on her screen.

Aurora Zdunich: How's Greece, Mommy?

Seleana shrugs almost playfully.

Seleana Zdunich: So far, loads of photos but it is a beach with a professional.

Aurora laughs.

Aurora Zdunich: Is it still Frankie Holliday?

Nodding, Seleana sighs slightly.

Seleana Zdunich: Ja, she will be interesting…

Aurora scoffs.

Aurora Zdunich: Mommy, no! This will be you showing who you are! You go down there and show that snake liar lady why you've won championships here!

Seleana grins into her camera at her daughter.

Seleana Zdunich: Jag älskar dig.

Aurora smiles sweetly.

Aurora Zdunich: I love you too, Mommy!

The call ends and Seleana nods, smiling happily. Just then, her phone chimes to notify of an incoming text. Seleana sees the message and shakes her head.

Seleana Zdunich: Nu jävlar…

A second later, the phone rings for another call. Seleana answers to hear the voice of a talent agent from back at the Rose Productions Studio, Samantha Johnston.

Samantha Johnson: Sel, Baby, Darling, how are you doing? How did the shoot go today?

Seleana Zdunich: Heya, Chickie, how's it?

Samantha Johnson: So, how did the shoot go?

Seleana shrugs.

Seleana Zdunich: It was a shoot. I sit in bikini. Look bored. They shoot photos.

Samantha Johnson: I bet you looked stunning too. And your match this weekend?

Again, Seleana shrugs.

Seleana Zdunich: It with Frankie Holliday. She will sling skit, make hens out of feathers, disrespect. We will fight. Same old everything with her.

Samantha Johnson: And what about, you, Christina and Alex, Darling? Any way I can convince you all to do a shoot together there on the nude beach?

Seleana shakes her head in equal parts  astonishment and annoyance.

Seleana Zdunich: Alex is no here. Christina and I will soon have an argument.

Samantha Johnson: Oh no, Baby, that's no bueno. We need you two on the same page.

Seleana shrugs, annoyance building into anger.

Seleana Zdunich: That has not been true in a long time, even more so now with Mercedes Vargas.

Samantha Johnson: Baby, Darling, you have to know she's acting.

Seleana Zdunich: With her or with me?

Samantha Johnson: Yes?

Seleana sighs exasperatedly.

Seleana Zdunich: Do you both want #FreeSeleana to be a thing again? It will and she never handle well.

Samantha Johnson: You must do something, Darling. You cannot allow that to happen.

Seleana Zdunich: I can do nothing if she will not talk or listen to me. There is nothing I can do if Christina refuse to change anything.

She pauses to nod in acknowledgment.

Seleana Zdunich: I am afraid.

Samantha Johnson: Of what, Darling?

Seleana Zdunich: That she is cheating again. That she is drinking again. That she use cocaine again. That they all feed into each other and will drive everyone away. I no want take kids and leave.

She looks down trying not to start bawling.

Seleana Zdunich: I love her, she does not need to pretend for me. I love Christina. Everyone else just see Crystal. Crystal is an illusion but sometimes I worry she cannot tell the difference.

Samantha Johnson: You will save her, Darling. It's what you do.

Seleana nods sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: If she let me.

Samantha Johnson: You will, Darling. It is who you are. There is no question. She digs the hole and you drag her out even if it's kicking and screaming. You will do it, Darling.

The call ends and Seleana turns her phone off.

Seleana Zdunich: I hope so, Chickie. I hope so.

This might be fun, but that would depend on several things. This time there would be no championship at stake. There would be no getting dumped into the pool for a match with some title shot on the line.

No, this Summer XXXTreme cruise and show would be different for Seleana Zdunich than past experiences had been, 

There would be none of those things this year. There would be all three members of their marriage on the ship with Alexandra "Diamond" Caldwell, Seleana and Crystal Hilton all on the roster now. Their children, Aurora and Elijah, would be with them, allowing for a family outing together if everything fell into place properly.

That was a big question, lately…

If you went all the way back to the Viking Tour, it had started with Seleana cutting a promo in Stockholm, enjoying the fact that they were actually doing a Climax Control In Sweden. It had been a marvelous feeling for Seleana, standing there before her fellow Swedes  as she prepared to take part in the evening's card even if she was just getting to be the makeshift host and guest referee for a match between Cassie Wolfe and Mercedes Vargas.

It had not gone well

Seleana had gotten upset by something said by Mercedes and Selena had tried to blast her in the mouth for whatever it was she said, but Seleana had missed and accidentally hit Cassie instead, knocking her out cold.   

And Cassie had not even slackened on it much less let it go.

Seleana Zdunich: Det ligger en hund begravd här. Hon gör en höna av en fjäder.

She shakes her head, visibly displeased

Seleana Zdunich: Varför kändes det som om jag skitade i det blå skåpet?

Looking up into the camera, Seleana just shakes her head sadly.

Seleana Zdunich: I did not mean to start this, Cassie. I did not mean to knock you down and out. I did not mean to cost you that match with Mercedes.

She looks down in shame.

Seleana Zdunich: I did not mean to help Mercedes Vargas with anything. She has never liked nor respected me. If she is really as good a friend to Christina as I have been told, something would changed by now, but it has not.

She looks back up into the lens, still with an expression of shame on her face.

Seleana Zdunich: You, I did not wish to harm, Cassie. I liked you. I rooted for you.

The shame melts away.

Seleana Zdunich: Now you make hens out of feathers over one mistake that I freely admit I made and that it was a mistake. There is no running from that.

She nods forcefully.

Seleana Zdunich: It happen.

Sje points to her chest to indicate herself.

Seleana Zdunich: I do.

The hand drops but Seleans's gaze is seemingly glued to the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: Why must we cling to this as if it gives the breath of life?

She shrugs.

Seleana Zdunich: I hit you.

She holds up a single index finger.

Seleana Zdunich: Once.

The hand falls away again.

Seleana Zdunich: You went down and did not get back up.

Seleans cocks her head as she glares into the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: Are you certain you wish to keep pressing for that action to be repeated only this time to add malice and intent?

Shaking her head somewhere between sadness and disgust, the Swede straightens back up.

Seleana Zdunich: It did not need to happen. It does not need to happen again but you cannot seem to stop yourself from trying for it.

She narrows her eyes as if asking through the camera.

Seleana Zdunich: I do not know why you feel the need to try and push buttons that do not need pushing, but if you keep pushing, you will not like the answer.

She nods pointedly,

Seleana Zdunich: I am sorry the first one happened, Cassie, but if it happens again, I will not be sorry.

She points accusingly.

Seleana Zdunich: You will have earned it now.

She looks up into the camera hopefully.

Seleana Zdunich: I do not hate you, Cassie, but you are making it hard to keep things that way.

She nods almost to herself.

Seleana Zdunich: I pray you do not push past the point of no return.
