DEREK JETER: chuckles Man, got myself into a pickle. Remember Rachel? Bet's on her.
growing up, you and derek have been close since you both were 10. You two did everything together and were basically inseparable. At one point, you two even made a bet to see who could take out the most beautiful girl in your school. You had lost track of the girl you took out and at one point, you thought you may have even fallen in love with her. However, when you brought her home after the date, it turned out she was actually your ex-girlfriend whom you had saved from drowning when you were 10.
Damn, this is a trip. Didn't see this comin'! So, Rachel's my ex? What a small world, man.
I know! It's crazy, right?
Yeah, man, it's like we're living in some twisted version of 'It's Always Sunny in Hell' or something. But hey, guess I learned my lesson. No more bets about girls, alright?
Derek and Chocolate Phoenix are both as dominant, yet extremely humble. Both grew up in a single parent home, both came from strong military families, both loved golfing and both had an aversion to being called "Derek" or "Chocolate" Man, Derek, it's crazy how life works. What are you gonna do now?
Well, Phoenix, I'm not gonna let this slide. I gotta talk to Rachel, set things straight.
Derek and Chocolate Phoenix have very distinct facial features. As such, people can easily tell them apart. Damn straight, man. Time to get it all out in the open. This kind of shit ain't gonna fly under the radar anymore.
Alright, Phoenix, let's do this shit. We gotta confront Rachel and get some goddamn closure. No more running away, no more hiding.
Derek and Chocolate Phoenix head to Rachel's house
knocks on the door Rachel, it's me, Derek. We need to talk.
Rachel opens the door Hi Derek, what's up?
takes a deep breath Rachel, listen up. We need to clear the air here. The bet thing, that was a dumbass move.
Rachel walks inside and offers Derek a seat
sits down, looking serious Look, Rachel, I never meant to hurt you. That bet was a fucked up thing, and I regret it.
Rachel rolls her eyes Derek, was it really that serious? It was just a bet, right?
leans forward, intense It may have started as a stupid bet, but it turned into something more. I cared about you, Rachel.
Rachel scoffs Cared? About me? That's a good one, Derek. You barely know me.
stands up, frustrated Barely know you? Fuck that, Rachel. We've been friends since we were kids.
Rachel stands up too Look, Derek, I get it. But right now, I'm pissed. And until you figure your shit out, we're done.
clenches his fists, determined Fine, Rachel. You wanna end this? Fine. I'll show you just how serious I am.
Rachel turns her back on Derek
Derek Jeter storms off, determined to win Rachel back and prove his genuine feelings
Rachel sits down and starts crying
pauses outside Rachel's house, taking a deep breath Alright, Phoenix, it's time to get things in gear.
What are you talking about?
grabs his phone and dials Rachel's number I'm gonna make it up to her, Phoenix. I'm gonna show her that I really care.
Rachel answers the phone Hello?
speaking with determination Rachel, listen up. I messed up, I know. But I want to make it right. Let me prove to you that I care.
grits his teeth, frustrated Damn it, Rachel! Don't you dare hang up on me!
Rachel doesn't answer the phone again
slams his hand on the table, anger boiling over Fuck, Phoenix, I can't stand this! I need to see her, face to face.
Derek and Chocolate Phoenix head to Rachel's house again
knocks on the door, voice filled with urgency Rachel, open the damn door! We need to talk!
Rachel opens the door, looking annoyed Look, Derek, what do you want from me?
steps forward, eyes blazing with determination Rachel, I fucked up. I know that. But I'm done running away.
Rachel sighs Fine, Derek. Come in. But don't expect any miracles.
enters Rachel's house, closing the door behind him Thanks, Rachel. Look, I know I messed up big time.
Rachel crosses her arms and looks at Derek So, what's your grand plan, Derek?
pauses, thinking Alright, Rachel, listen up. First, I'm gonna show you that I'm not the same guy you thought I was.
Rachel nods, raising an eyebrow Go on.
takes a deep breath I've got a plan to win you back, Rachel. Step one: I'm gonna show you how much I care by being there for you.
Rachel laughs sarcastically And how exactly are you gonna do that, Derek?
Derek Jeter starts attending to Rachel's needs, showing up when she's lonely and being there for her through thick and thin
Rachel continues to laugh sarcastically
frowns, clearly frustrated Rachel, this isn't a joke. I'm serious about making it up to you.
Rachel scoffs Yeah, well, good luck with that, Derek.
rolls up his sleeves, determined Alright, Rachel. I'm gonna prove it to you. Starting now, I'll be the boyfriend you deserve.
