Give thanks for Cox

Give Thanks For Cox

 

Twas the eve before Turmoil’s premier, when all through the overly expensive apartment

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse...because Madison would never allow such a thing. Not even an ant. Now that the season was up and running, returning to life in New York City would certainly take some getting used to after spending almost two months recuperating in the land of the Amish. Madison insisted that Dennis move in with her.

 

Why not? He was paying for it anyway.

 

The moving in process did not take long, as Dennis had very little to his name. Newcomers did not make very much in OCW. As the two sat down across from each other, Dennis couldn’t help but smile. He had just about everything he wanted. There were covered dishes, and he could only assume the meal would be as wonderful as what he had back home. This was the perfect time to give thanks!

 

Dennis: Madison?

 

Madison: Yes?

 

Dennis: What are you thankful for?

 

Madison blinked at him and tapped her chin.

 

Madison: Are we actually doing that? I mean, that’s something poor people do. Give thanks and all that. Well, we ARE poor...but we don’t live like it, if that makes sense. Man...I’m thankful for your negotiation to sign an extension with OCW in January. Let me do all the talking, i’ll clean them out!

Dennis: ...So let’s share what we are thankful for. I’ll start. I’m thankful for us being a couple.

Madison: ..Friends.

 

Dennis: Couple…

 

Madison: A couple of friends.

 

Dennis: Sure. I’m thankful for the connection we have!

 

Madison: I’ll allow it. Okay, my turn?

Dennis nods.

 

Madison: I’m thankful for being the most downloaded woman in OCW history. My beautiful hair. Dupree has nothing on me, he looks like a cancer patient had a child with a default character in OCW 2k17...that also had cancer or some sort of aids.

 

Dennis: Jesus Madison…

 

Madison: I’m thankful for the president elect, even if it means we’ll probably lose half of our roster. Ummm...i’m thankful for Brexit.

 

Dennis: What? Why?

 

Madison: I’m sure it weighs heavily on Pugh, and that’s why you knocked him out.

 

Dennis: Not because i’m better?

 

Madison shrugged: Who knows, but i’ll take any advantage I can get. Lord knows not much else goes our way. I’m also thankful for my perfect set of t-

 

Dennis: Okay...Okay...

Madison: What? They were a good purchase!

 

Madison: Oh! And… I'm ever so thankful, for Starbucks.

 

Dennis rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighing.

 

Dennis: Starbucks?

 

Madison stands and leans over the table, giving Dennis a view of the promised land as she starts removing the lids covering their meals.

 

Madison: I’m thankful for Starbucks because they do catering! Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Dennis: ...Catering?

 

The lid in front of Dennis was completely removed, revealing….

Madison beamed proudly.

 

Madison: I’m so excited! Famished. I could completely devour and swallow every bit of meat in my face right now.

 

Dennis closed his eyes.

 

Madison: I mean honestly, this just isn’t enough. This is one of those nights where i just couldn’t be filled enough. Know what I mean?

Dennis shakes his head.

 

Dennis: Anyway...why are our plates different?

 

Madison: You might have a match tomorrow? Duh. You trust me to keep you in tip top shape, yea?

Dennis: Yea.

 

Dennis looks down at his plate, grimacing.

 

Madison: I have an idea.

 

Dennis: Uh huh?

 

Madison: After this, we can do….whatever you men like to do on Thanksgiving night. We can watch rednecks and the Cow herders -

Dennis: Red skins...and Cowboys…

 

Madison: They would actually have teams named cowboys and Red skins facing each other? On a day like this? Totally racist. Unreal!

 

Dennis looked to the ceiling and sighed.

 

Madison: Anyway, we’ll have a nice evening of wine drinking and watching football. You get the couch, i’ll get the floor with my yoga mat. You can help me stretch during commercials. Sound good?

 

Dennis thinks on that for a moment.

 

Dennis: You know...maybe i’m better off not eating at all. Gotta stay in tip top shape. How about we skip dinner, just go watch football, and i’ll stretch you out during commercials?

 

Madison: That’s the spirit! Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Dennis: Hopefully!
