Going to the pet shop to buy a pet. Anaheim, California. Thursday, 13th June.
Although Konrad donates a lot of money on protecting animals charities, he never had a pet in his life, mainly because his parents wouldn't let him have one, and he's barely at home now. When he is, he spends time with his kids, although he has to go to Seattle every week to see them.
However, before he and Fizz chose to get a pet, they needed to buy and get equipment for their pet, which was already brought and set up for it. They decided the time was right for them to buy a pet in the shop, despite Konrad not being at home which is why they were able to find a pet sitter when they weren't at home.
Konrad walks into the pet shop as he fidgets his hands, swallowing hard, pinching his bottom lip as he looks at the pets of rabbits, Ginnie pigs, hamsters, even some dogs, cats, fishes and birds. He still wasn't sure as one of the pet shop workers comes towards Konrad and says this.
Pet shop worker: "Can I help you?"
Konrad Raab: "Have you got any lizards for me to look at?"
Pet shop worker: "Indeed we do. Come this way."
The pet shop worker directs Konrad to the small enclosure of pets he didn't see while walking in the pet shop as it's so big. Konrad has always been a big animal fan, but he never had one in his time due to being too busy for a pet. He saw spiders, snakes, turtles and even the animals he wanted to buy, lizards.
There's a lot of them, but he saw this particular lizard with a beaming expression with his cheeks glowing, moving as close as he can to the lizard, having firm eye contact with it with a fluttering feeling in his stomach.
Konrad Raab: "I want this one."
Pet shop worker: "That's a good choice, Leopard Geckos are easy for beginners to take care of. That will cost you fifty dollars."
Konrad Raab: "That's fine; can I get a leaflet about my new pet?"
Pet shop worker nodded as he goes to find a particular container to put the leopard gecko in before he goes in the lizard enclosure and picks up one of the Leopard gecko's and places him in the specific container. Konrad's has weak knees in picking this gecko that caught his attention big time. It was a pet that he could keep and not a danger to children either.
The pet shop worker got some crickets and worms for Konrad to buy as he had to get food for it as well as the lizard itself. Konrad continues to smile and having wide eyes before kissing the container of the gecko inside. He was given a leaflet as requested and a book on taking care of a lizard as well. He pays money for a gecko, the food and booklet on how to take care of a lizard and he says this.
Konrad Raab: "Thank you very much."
Pet shop owner: "You're welcome, and your gecko is a male. Got a name for it?"
Konrad Raab: "Yes, his name will be Felix."
Pet shop owner: "Take good care of Felix and give him all the love and attention he needs."
Konrad nods as he takes the Leopard Gecko known as Felix home. It was a baby-sized one he got, and he quickly took it to his car before driving home with it with a massive smile on his face, knowing this was the right decision for him to have as his first-ever pet in his life. Once he got home, he got out of the car and carefully took Felix in his house as Konrad goes downstairs in the second basement he made for the gecko and places Felix in the special tank where Konrad had everything set for him.
Konrad places the lid on quickly before going to his car to get the food and the booklet he got. He locks his car and goes in the house and closes the door behind him. Konrad took the food, the book and the leaflet in the second part of his basement along with his weed and reflection room, being on the other side. Konrad opens the small part of the lid and places crickets and some worms in there and closes the small lid again.
He drags the chair towards the lizard and sits down, watching Felix eat his food with Fizz seeing how much Konrad's in love with the lizard and she says this.
Fizz Raab: "I think the lizard looks cute. What's the gender?"
Konrad Raab: "Male and his name is Felix. My stomach had a fluttering feeling when I saw it. I couldn't take my eyes off from him. He's going to have a good home and for the kids to see Felix sooner than later."
Fizz Raab: "I think having a lizard is perfect. I wouldn't have felt safe if you got a cat or a dog. Lizards are suitable for the kids, as long as they don't pick Felix up."
Konrad Raab: "No, I'll make sure they won't touch him, and they'll only go as far as feeding him food."
Fizz looks at Felix, and he seems to rattle his tail as Konrad opened the book and sees the content of the lizard book and goes to the tail rattle and reads about it before he says this.
Konrad Raab: "Seems like Felix is excited about eating."
Fizz Raab: "I think; also, Felix is happy to have a home and being around a loving family. He seems well at home, although we need to get Felix some water."
Fizz was right; he did need a bowl of water as it was what's in the leaflet as he quickly goes upstairs and fills up a bowl of water and goes downstairs to the lizard room. Problem was the large lid needed to come off again as Fizz held the water and Konrad took the large cover off from the tank and Fizz places the bottle of water in the container before Konrad places the lid over the tank. It had special lighting with sand and some rocks and tunnels nearby.
Fizz goes back to the living room, while Konrad sat on the chair and witnesses Felix making himself right at home with every 6 hours of feeding Felix with food. Konrad witnesses Felix drinking and eating food, even sleeping in the tunnel he brought. Once it's asleep, Konrad went back upstairs and watched TV with Fizz.

Felix's Point Of View. Anaheim, California. Wednesday, 14th August.
Two months have passed since I came home from the pet shop, and Konrad loves me to death. Unfortunately, he's always away wrestling all the time, so he doesn't get the chance to feed me as much as I want him to, but at least I get held and stroked by Konrad. I do my business in the tank, but that's what I do as an animal. I love to walk in my tank and feel like I'm cared and looked after. Konrad does speak German at times, even if I struggle to understand him, but he called me Felix to keep some part of German blood in me.
I love when Konrad speaks to me, and I've seen him being stressed, pretty much like me at times, but I'm always active and I still get fed from Konrad. I love putting my body on his hands as it takes time for me to get attention. I see Konrad now, looking at me as I eat crickets and worms. He brings his children to see me, but he prevents them from picking me up. Konrad picks me up and gives me a hug and a kiss and says something to me.
Konrad Raab: "I'm a title contender, Felix. Can you believe that?"
I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but it was clear it's about wrestling, so I laid on his hand and gave him my paws for him to shake on. Konrad shows affection with his eyes and smiling a lot because he seems proud to buy me. If only I can talk to him on how much he gives me attention, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I sometimes can feel Konrad's heartbeat and has his stomach tied in knots each time he sees me.
My heart beats fast when Konrad presses his face against my body and rocks me, which is what I love. I wonder if other gecko's get this much attention as I do. I even have Fizz holding me and giving me love and care as well. I hear him speak again.
Konrad Raab: "I love you so much, Felix. You're a pleasure to have in my life, and I always look forward to coming home to see you. I wish I could be at home all the time, but I can't."
Konrad kisses me once more before I get put back in the tank with the lid on so I wouldn't escape. I have nearly attacked Konrad a few times, especially at the beginning because he wasn't holding me right, but he always placed me in the tank and Konrad gives me more food to eat because I'm only a baby gecko. I tap a lot on the tank glass because I was running out of water. Konrad turned around to see me and then notices the water bowl was empty. He lifts the lid and takes my water bowl to the kitchen to fill up with water.
He returned a few seconds later, and he put the bowl of water in my tank before he picks me up again and hugs me. I rub my face on his face, and I brush my tail against his arm before he places me in the tank and puts the lid on my tank. Konrad sat down and watched me eat my food and watches me sleep and drink my water as well. Since Konrad got used to holding me correctly, I've been a happy gecko, and I feel like I've grown a lot in the last two months and it's because of the love and affection I get from Konrad and his wife Fizz.
I always hear them talk when they come down to see me, although they know I make too much noise at times and his children, they can only watch me from the tank which is a shame as I'd love to have the personal contact with them, but that's down to Konrad protecting them and even me. I go on the rock and sit on it for a while, keeping my body warm. After I got warm, I went into my tunnel and go off to sleep.

It has been a while since I've been in a tag match youtube.com shoot.
"As the title says, it's been a long time since I was in a tag match last. I have been focusing more on earning myself a Chaos title shot which I've accomplished. I may not have even interacted or met Sebastian or Sloane as of yet because they debuted at Wrestlestock when I wasn't able to compete, but I know for a fact that just like me with Donovan, they got screwed on winning the tag title match. I never expected Kenzi to be so insecure. How many people does she need to help her win matches? It's a shame that she's scared of losing that has to use other people to assist her in winning.
I don't understand myself, but that's typical of Donovan to cheat his way to victory with his eye poke move which he only named it Superkick so it would be legal to use in a match and using weapons to his advantage. I've had my fair share of battles with Donovan Hastings when I stood up against his garbage he has done to me, treating me like a punching bag and even though he won against me in solos and tag competition, only because he cheated to do so. He and Kenzi can never have respect for this business like we can. I always wanted to place my hands on Donovan again, as much as you both do, but I'm focused on bigger goals at hand on capturing the Chaos title.
I also have had my fair share of battles with Dave Rydell as well. In the past, he didn't like me and didn't like how I kept beating him consistently and treating me like I'm a joke. Of course, now, he's changed, he earned the Cross-Hemisphere title shot and that's what we have in common, both of us have title shots and facing the same opponent of Roxy Cotton. I got to say, I agree with you, Roxy is disrespecting the title, especially when she had no reasons to change a title name to Cross-Semicircle title.
It still doesn't give you an excuse to still rule me out as a threat, especially now that we're title contenders for Roxy's belts. To this day, you yet haven't beaten me in a solo's match, and you haven't pinned me either. You won the title from Demos and pinned him. I respect you as a wrestler, more than I do with Donovan as you have changed and you're better as a wrestler for it.
Travis Roberts is someone I've never encountered before. He's a former cooperative champion and seems to have a connection with Donovan Hastings. Well, I can't dislike the guy just because he teamed up with Donovan, especially he's the opponent I know least about. I'm glad you got the win against Demos at the PPV, showing the world you want to be here, but you haven't mounted any solos success in UGWC, and you've been here a lot longer than all of us.
It's surprising how much time you've been with UGWC and not really held any solos titles, yet you still talk like as if your better than everyone and that's not the case. I wonder when you take the time and seek your passion for this business like Dave, Sebastian, Sloane, hell even Donovan to want to go and win titles under your name, instead of being a tag champion with other people. Although it could change now with your win against Demos, maybe it'll give you the energy to want to win.
I respect and have a ton of faith in my partners of Sebastian and Sloane who at least want to wrestle fair and square to win matches instead of cheating. They want to be the top wrestlers here, and so do I. I'm also all of those things, and I also think Roxy's still overlooking me and not viewing me as a threat as much as she does with Dave. Maybe if you watch me, Sebastian and Sloane take this win by pinning or submitting to one of our opponents, especially your close friend Donovan Hastings, then you'll see what I'm all about when I'll take that Chaos title away from you.
For now, we're going to win this match because we want to win more than the other team and we indeed have shown how much we want to be on top and capture the cooperative and the Chaos titles. I believe Sebastian and Sloane will win the Cooperative titles and it'll be about time as well to have champions UGWC fans and wrestlers can respect and show their honour and pride for this sport. Prepare to be dominated by Sebastian, Sloane and The Iceman because we're gonna be the better team, not only in skill but also winning this match fair and square without cheating to do so."
