“Edge Of Gluttony”

November 26th 2020
Cheat Day
Totally by coincidence.
“Girl who do you think you are fooling?” Tracy Dixon chuckled to herself, watching the animations run across the TV screen while she was doing her own little pick & dip of all the appropriate treats. She had been working hard, working out, planning her strategy for the big event the next week. Savage Thursday the biggest dang show since..well since she last had to fight on her own without House.
Yeah she had worked hard enough, everyone who trains knows that you can have a cheat day now and then, who says what day it has to be? Cheat day is a cheat day and if it just HAPPENS to land on Thanksgiving, who was she to complain? I mean sure, she could have picked a different day and all however, the good lord in his divine right had landed her cheat day on Thanksgiving, why that would simply be blasphemous,sanctimonious and simply against everything she believed in.
“Amen!”
So Disney plus and some of that godly gobble gobble delight with fitting sides was just the thing she needed. There was still plenty of time to train, what harm could one day do. So when she watched poor Launchpad McQuack trying to master a helicopter, chilled with Balo on his dangerous flights away from the dastardly Don Carnage or just chilled with some classics. It brought her back to Harlan County, to Uncle Leroy’s house..when she used to watch these same shows while being well just a tiny Tracy then.
“Uncle Leroy?”
-Yes Darlin’ Dix?”
“Could we move?”
-Now where would you ever want to move? Harlan County is your home,child.
“Duckburg”
It still made her smile, just how certain she had been that a magical place like that even existed and how in hindsight some adults could have blown a gasket or two from such a claim, but Uncle Leroy, her resident guardian and closest thing she ever had to a father..also a local businessman who taught her so much about life, simply tilted his glasses down the bridge of his nose and looked at her.
-Now do you think Scrooge McDuck would buy you any more ice creams than I do?
She had to think about it.
“Well probably not, but they always have these wacky adventures and find lost treasures and…”
-And what, child?
She sighed.
“Well nothing ever happens in Harlan County, there’s no adventures or treasures..it’s really boring actually.”
He had laughed, not at her but just that warm chuckle he did now and then. Gotten up from his chair and joined her on the couch ruffling her hair.
-Now Lil’ Dix, you won’t understand this now since you are young. There will however be plenty of time for adventures when you get older and some of those adventures will have you miss this boring lil’ county. However when you grow older you will also realize that adventures, secrets and themlike are everywhere. You just have to find them. You understand what I’m saying?
“Wait, you mean Harlan County has treasures?”
-Oh child yes, it sure does.
“Can we go look for one?”
-Not today Lil’ Dix, I got things to do.
“PLEASE UNCLE LEROY!”
-Hush now, I believe it’s time for your beloved chipmunks. Why don’t you join in with Chip & Dale on one of their missions and let me get back to work.
She had pouted, Tracy had seen pictures of herself with that frown.
“I’ll never understand adults”
-That is sadly common these days Lil’ Dix, neither do I.
Of course years later Tracy had realized that Uncle Leroy was as close to Scrooge McDuck as Harlan County in Kentucky got. He didn’t exactly have a money bin to swim in but he did make enough to keep his favourite niece and surrogate daughter in treats and anything she ever needed. His fortune sadly was made off of other people. Liquid kind from the drinkers and the women who were around the house sometimes knew how to treat a man. Oddly enough he was so insistent that she should never settle for a life such as the women she knew growing up.
He wanted something far better for her, something proper and respectable. Leroy wasn’t exactly disliked or threatened around Harlan but he knew his place and the miners and local folk knew him when they needed him. Otherwise they all stayed polite enough from a distance.
Was this really any better of a life for you Lil’ Dix, you ain’t little no more and somehow I doubt Uncle Leroy wanted you to spend your days like this. Would he be proud of you now? What would you give just to have him sit next to you on the couch again, ruffle your hair and watch some cartoons: Would even all of the gold in Scrooge’s money bin be enough?
Today was a cheat day, but tomorrow bright and early. You would get back to training.
You were at the verge of a new adventure, you could sense it.
..and it felt good.
“A bullet for my opponent”
(On Camera)
Thursday
December 3rd 2020
Rome, Georgia.
What we see first is familiar to anyone who has seen viral videos lately, a shaky mobile phone flailing around trying to focus. Then the phone focuses finally and we see the person holding it. Tracy Dixon one half (some would claim chunkier half) SRW Tag Champions House Of Dix and she seemed to be full of energy even early in the day.
“Bonjour and good morning ya’ll! It’s your girl Dix out here in beautiful Rome Georgia and if you are still asleep, get yo’ ass out of that bed and go enjoy this wonderful December morning, you are wasting valuable time to improve and better yourself! Look at me, I’m out here at the crack of the dawn working out, yup look!”
She films around at the gym which luckily for her was empty.
“Bet you didn’t think I got any exercise besides walking between the couch and the kitchen, huh? Well jokes on you boo-boo because you gotta work to keep the figure I got. Besides, I didn’t win the Southern Rebellion Tag Team Championships with House just by sitting on people either so keep those jokes to yourself!”
She flips the camera back over to her face again and chuckles.
“Serious business though I got some chosen words for my opponent, mi hermana from Louisiana. Big Easy’s own New Orelans’s Number one assassin Alex Carjabal, oye hija you listening?!”
She chuckles.
“Didn’t think I had it in me to throw some spanish around did you? Look, we’ve been going back and forth on social media, tonight at the world famous Rebel Star Arena right here in Rome, Georgia you and mei are going to finally get a chance to go one on one..wondering why I say finally? Well Alex, to be honest I’ve seen you tweeting now and then about the shows you go, the matches you have and you haven’t forgotten me. Which is super sweet and all but watching you go all over the places having matches with all these people when girl YOU KNOW me and you are going to tear the house down tonight..No Wendy not you! Erm I mean the venue, the arena, the ring the whole damn shebang you dig? Bell to bell, pillar to post. That’s you and me boo-boo. We’ll wreck everything before Juliet Motherloving Black and Luther even get a chance to and they’ll have to fight at catering, parking lot or somewhere else but after the previous match they had, they can fight anywhere right!”
She winks and giggles.
“I know that you and Bandit are no strangers to me and Wendy it seems like our teams are somewhat tied together with some sort of yarn old as time itself and stronger than anything because no matter how many times we face, no matter who we have in those matches in between it always comes back to this. This rivalry between our teams could grow a generation or two of fans, can you imagine that? Some lucky kid who gets their big break in wrestling ten,fifteen years from now could say that it was Wendy and Tracy or Jackie and Alex that inspired them! We have a chance to do something fantastic tonight and I just wanted to drop you a little thing saying just how much I appreciate it and how excited I am to see just what shenanigans we can get to on our own! I don’t think Mel herself realizes just what a set of diamonds she has here because outside of Fury Road House Of Dix had been somewhat overlooked up until now and that..made me wonder if we were really seen like we should have been, especially being Tag Champions and all. So tonight hija, me and you, bring your bad New Orleans Vodoo booty to the ring and I’ll bring you a hetfy helping of good ol’ southern hospitality and we’ll show the fans the best damn way to burn off any excess left from Thanksgiving and make room for them Christmas treats! So for those of you still watching. The bullet points: Tonight. December 3rd. Rebel Star Arena. Savage Thursday, Alex Carjabal Vs Tracy Dixon, be there, or be square check it or get wrecked, now get your lazy asses to the gym. I’m already here! BYEEEEEEEE~”
With that the video cuts off.
