Terminal One

A Sense of Pride

Same Day
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

"Damn. It's like that..." "Anthony..." Mia and Fatima sang irritably. "Ain't nobody got time for the shit you on..." "As a matter of fact. What you NEED to be on is child support." Mia retorted.

"Out here", "Girl in another country nonetheless," "preach sis, spending money when you know damn well it can go to your kidszzzzzz." Mia emphasized dramatically prolonging the "z" sound.

"I promise no disrespect. Ti, Can I please talk to you?" Anthony asked, sincerely.

Fatima and Mia looked at each other, "BOY BYE!"

As their movements instantly became in sync.

They sat in the waiting area on the bench as one, then turned back to back to each other leaning into one another to keep a steady balance. They hiked a leg up and across the other pulling out their phone, unlocking then scrolling.

"Yo that's scary.."

"Girl look." Fatima utters unbothered, as Mia looks in the direction of Fatima's phone.

"Aye Ant. Come on man." His friend says, "I don't know why you steady tryna chase after these..." "NIGGA WATCH YO MUTHAFUCKING WORDS!" Fatima and Mia stood, reading to pounce because they already knew what his mouth was about to say.

"Yo Xhon. Chill man.." Anthony pleads, "Anthony you better let his ass know..." "I know. I know...Look. I seriously just want to apologize for my behavior last night." "Apology..." "NOT ACCEPTED NIGGA." Mia finished before Fatima could.

"You thought shit was sweet catching my girl in a vulnerable moment. And you still ended up not getting shit. So what makes you think an apology is gonna help..." she argued.

"I don't. But I figured it's a start." He shrugged.

"Anthony. I accept your apology but I seriously don't wish to say another word to you. The way you came on to me was definitely giving creep vibes. And quite frankly. I've had enough of that shit." "In which I should whoop yo ass for..." "Yo Mia, you know I'm not like that." he claimed, with a hard gulp in his throat.

"Man, you better than me." Xhon says, "Cause ain't no way I would've been explaining myself to no bitch..."

"WHAT?!/OH IT'S ON NOW!" "BRO, what the fuck is wrong with you?..."

"Is there a problem?" The security guard voiced walking up to them.

Considering the four of them were the only ones there for the time slot Fatima was grateful no one else could be a witness to the potential altercation.

"I'm gonna have to ask you all to leave..." "No. Let the ladies stay. We'll leave.." Anthony suggested angrily because Xhon started to get outta hand, pushing him towards the doorway as he continued to go off, trying to get to Mia.

"YO MOMMA'S A BITCH!!!" Mia shouted back to Xhon who kept trying to pounce.

"Come on Mi. Calm down..." "Girl." "I know. But getting into a fight in another country is not what we're here for." Fatima reminded her calmly.

Mia huffs, "I swear..." "NIGGAS!" They uttered together, as they went to the ticket booth.

Meanwhile
Las Vegas, Nevada

"Oh Lord," "Is this real?!" "Yani." "Huh?" "Pinch me." "Only if you pinch me back..." "Ou!" the girls flinch covering their arms after pinching each other then giggling.

Zac snickers at their antics...

"Daddy/Uncle Zac..." "I already got my debit card out girls, go crazy..." Zac mutters in defeat.
