Stolen car and a botched tournament

So the day starts off with my mom going nuts and buying a bunch of pets. On top of Pudgie and Kahlua, I now have this little snake think that has 4 legs and a tail like a dog. The creepy thing was that every limb on this thing slithered like a snake, and it was always hyper. It kept trying to get near me to cuddle, but it was amazingly gross.

I was living upstairs in a townhome, and I had a guy come over who was supposed to be my opponent in a tennis match that evening in the townhome community I was in. I told him I had to go upstairs to get something and I asked him to wait in the car. I ran up, grabbed what I needed and ran down. I was too late. My car was gone and I thought he was playing a joke.

I walked around the neighborhood wondering if he would return. Finally after a couple hours, I called the police and gave the details. As I waited, I called the tennis association and told them my opponent had stolen my car and that he'd probably default. I then went to sleep and was woken up by a call that I had a match at 11. I set my clock for 10am so that I could walk out for my 11am match. My opponent was to be Janessa Hack.

I got to the courts and nobody was there, so I assumed I had another default. As I waited, a woman that looked like Serena Williams came in and told me the match was at 11pm to avoid the heat. I of course wondered how they hell they could schedule an 11pm match, but who was I to argue. I checked out the courts and noticed that behind the 2 courts was another opening. I walked back and saw 2 courts in front of me with no nets, and 6 courts that were being used and a basketball court as well. This looked like an entire sports facility!

I decided to go back home and rest up. 10:55pm quickly came and as I was out the door, the phone rang. The police had found the car and it wasn't damaged other that some vomit and spilled drinks. I was happy and ran out the door. At the bottom of the stairs was Dione Gonzalez (I think) wearing a Jill Gaynor tournament shirt, blowing bubbles with her gum, wearing sunglasses and leaning against the wall. I remember squinting to see who it was because it was all out of focus, but I woke up.
