Mr. Rivers: Thank you everyone for coming to welcome Mike back home. Son, we love you. We missed you. We will always have your back no matter what you do from here on out.

Michael: Thanks Dad. I want to thank everyone for coming and showing me some love. I promise that I won't let nobody down like that again. Enough of all the mushy stuff. IM HUNGRY!!!

Mrs Rivers: Baby what you want on your plate?

Michael: I'm gonna need two plates how I'm feeling.

Janelly: Ill make that one then.

Everyone stops and looks at her and does some side chatter. Lio sips on the tea being the only person to know about what happened earlier.

Random cousin: Okay girl! I see you.

Mrs. Rivers adding a little shade: Y'all cut that out. She's been a family friend for a long time. Unlike some of y'all knuckleheads that didn't check on us while Mike was away.

The two women make Michael's plate and they all sit down.

Random Aunt: So.... Now that you're home. What are you gonna do?

Michael: I'm giving myself a few days to get my mind right. And then its back to the ropes. That's the first thing Im doing.

Random Uncle: I don't know. You sure anyone will hire you after what happened?

Michael: What happened doesn't define me. From the emails and dms I received since announcing I'm out, I shouldn't have any issues being a performer or a trainer. Its just getting the rust out of the system.

Janelly texts Michael: I can help you get it all out your system. *wink*

Michael texts back: You haven't forgotten the excercises and you still practice on the low. I noticed *wink*

Lio: There we go! We aren't bluffing now. So Ill see you in a few days?

Michael: Absolutely. Bring the waters and Gatorade.

Lio: Bet. Good to have you back man. Id love to stay but I gotta get ready for these last few shows.

Everyone: Bye Lio!

The evening got later as the drinks flowed. One by one people made their exit.

Mrs. Rivers and Janelly were in the dining room packing the food up while Michael and his dad were in the kitchen washing dishes and still drinking.

Mrs. Rivers: Baby, I want to thank you for always being there for my boy. And for looking our for us while he was away.

Janelly: Its the least I could do for having a special friend like him. He's been good to me for years.

Mrs. Rivers moves closer to to her and whispers: You're a terrible liar. I see it. But I'm not going to say anything. I haven't felt him be this happy in a while. Even before he won his first championship. I'm just glad youre not a hoe unlike that damn Ariane girl.

Meanwhile in the kitchen....

Mr. Rivers: Boy all this long time and you ain't hit that girl Janelly?

Michael: Dad you always told me never kiss and tell. But nah, we cool.
I can't have even you in my business.

Mr. Rivers: Well I'm gonna tell you straight up. When me and your mama go upstairs. Its on like a pot of neckbones sucka!

Michael: Don't nobody need to hear about your old ass balls. I'm going to catch up on all the shows I missed. Good night Dad.
