[glow=red,2,300]Saturday morning[/glow]
A monotone version of Animals by Nickelback is heard in the background. Our scene a dimly lit hotel room in the heart of Las Vegas. The blankets shuffle some and Twister emerges in his boxers fumbling for the ringing cell phone. Groggily he answers.
Allo... Wow what time is it? ... Ok Ill meet ya there.
Twister hangs up the phone and sits up more directly. He works his way to standing and stumbles tiredly towards the bathroom. He stands at the bathroom sink and looks into the mirror. His shortened hair a mess, his eyes blood shot. His face tainted by morning stubble. He runs the water and lets it run through his hands briefly before slashing it into his face. Twister shakes his head a bit before finally looking somewhat more awake. As he makes half a motion towards the shower the phone can be heard again in the background. Twister curses under his breath then moves back into the main room and grabs the cell phone which was thrown on the bed.
Ya... Got some family stuff to deal with first. Sure what the hell. Alright I'll see ya there tonight.
Twister hangs up the phone and makes his way back to the bathroom however everything relavent has been mentioned already so lets move on...
[glow=red,2,300]Saturday Afternoon - Noonish[/glow]
The scene opens up on a rather large restaurant. It seems to be obviously a family place, kids running around everywhere, and the general noises that accompany family restaurants. The room though silences as the door swings open and at the door way stands Twister. This time he adorns a UNLV Rebels jersey and loose fitting jean shorts. A murmur begins to fill the room as Twister looks around through his very dark sunglasses. All of a sudden a child can be heard.
DaDee!
Twister looks across the room and sees a small child running clumsly across the room. The child stand about three feet tall, and looks built like a linebacker, well a really tiny one. He has short blonde hair, and blue eyes which just pierce through you when you see them. Twister takes a knee in the middle of the restaurant, and the child begins laughing as he runs right into Twisters arms. Twister lifts the child into the air and spins him around, The child shows a huge smile on his face and finally comes to rest, his head resting on Twisters shoulders. Twister holds onto the child and makes his way across the room to a table near the back. A short woman, long brown hair, curvy body, greets Twister with a smile.
Hey J.
Sarah... How are things?
The woman now known as Sarah stands up and greets Twister with a hug. Twister returns the hug half assedly and Sarah sits down. Twister places the child in a high chair positioned at the foot of the table and then sits down across the table from Sarah.
Im glad you guys could make it down.
Hunter wanted to see his daddy before his big match. Personally I just hope he'll reckognize you after the match.
All wounds heal Sarah, you know that. You were with me back in the day... No matter how ugly they got, I always regained my good looks.
Still... I mean why did you have to get back into the business. Hunter really misses you when your on the road all the time.
Hey, I come home every week... Jeffs really good for that. I had to come back though, I needed to get back into the swing of things.
I guess once its in you...
Its in my blood... This is the business I know, and no matter what else I do, this is where I belong. This is what I was meant to do.
I just dont want to see you get hurt.
Wouldn't affect you, not like we're together anymore... And dont worry there's more than enough in the bank to take care of you and Hunter should anything happen to me.
Twister looks over at Hunter who's working on a child sized plate of french fries.
Besides... I'd never let myself miss my little dude growing up. Jeff gave me a contract I couldnt refuse... This is the right thing to do.
Why you always have to get yourself involved in these extreme matches though?
Seems to be the nature of the business... The stars have to shine, and everyone knows its matches like these that brought me to the dance... It'll be matches like these that keep me here I figure. Go with what you know.
Dont you worry age is going to catch up to you eventually?
Im only 24 Sarah... It'll be fine...
You'll be 25 next week!
Yeah true, and were coming to winnipeg next week.... Means outside training I'll have that much more time to spend with you and Hunter.
I know he's looking forward to it. lets hope your not out drinking all the time.
Hey... I said I had to train.
Sarah rolls her eyes as twister just smirks that smirk of his.
So... Ya gonna win?
I'm gonna do what I always do Sarah... Im gonna go out their... fight my ass off... Leave it all on the table. Its different this time a bit.
Whys that?
Fighting a friend is always different. They know you better than normal opponents... You know them... Somehow though, especially when gold is on the line, friends are more willing to beat the absolute holy hell out of one another to get the job done.
Sarah looks down, seemingly uneasy at the last set of comments.
Dont worry about it... We're professionals... And shit, you've seen what Ive been put through. I'll always bounce back.
I know...
So when I get out of the hospital Monday morning, I'll give you a call k... We'll plan for the trip back to winnipeg. Jeff said he'd let me fly with you guys.
I'd have been better with out that first bit.
Hey, its just being realistic... You go into a match like this, odds are you and your opponent are gonna end up in traction for the night.
All too many nights I spent with you in those hospitals.
Ah dont worry I'll have Ace there with me.
This is a weird business.
This is life Sarah... Fills in the void since you left.
There is an awkward silence at that last sentence.
Juice!
Twister and sarah turn their attention towards Hunter who is holding an empty cup in his hand.
You want some juice buddy?
Juice! YAH!
Twister smirks and hops up. Twister heads across the restaurant and fills up his cup with fruitopia at the drink machine. As he does this a young boy - probably 8 or 9 - walks up and tugs at Twisters jersey. Twister turns and sees the boy holding a note pad, wearing a Fear Twister's Rage t-shirt. Twister smirks.
Can I have your autograph Mr. Twister sir?
Twister cant help but laugh slightly.
Whats your name son?
Jason.
Twister gives the kid back his note pad and pulls something rolled up in his pocket. He unrolls it and shows a poster to the boy.
How about this?
Jason grins widely and Twister uncaps a sharpie and signs the picture.
Jason, Never stop reaching for your dreams. Twister
Jason looks down at the poster beaming.
Thank you Mister Twister sir! Thank you very much!
Twister smirks as Jason runs back to his family. Twister returns to his by now impatient son with the juice.
JUICE JUICE JU...
Twister hands Hunter the juice which on cue shuts the boy up.
Tank - You
Hunter slurps away at the drink as Twister sits back down.
The fans really adore you huh?
I guess... I just go out every night and try to produce the best product that I can for the fans. Thats why we do it... When some of them appreciate it, it just makes it that much sweeter.
Im sure tomorrow will be no exception.
You know I'm going to go out there and do everything I can. I'ma leave it all in that ring. I feel like at this point I have to go out and prove I still have what it takes.
You've been performing well since your return... Im sure you'll do fine.
Fine... Thats just it... I've left too much on that canvas to be just fine. Left a couple wins behind that I should have been able to pull off...
Your just getting back into the swing of things.
Well... You can only use that as an excuse for so long. Then it stops being valid. Eventually, if your going to rise to the top again, you have to go out, and do what ya gotta do. You have to find a way to over come, and just get the job done. I know Im young, but damnit I've been in this business for 5 years. I've won every title I've had thrown in front of me... No sense stopping now.
Ya know, we've talked the past few weeks, since you returned to the business... This is the first time ive seen you with that same level of confidence that you used to have.
I guess I'm just getting the mojo back.
What is it that draws you to this time after time.
Twister smirks that famous grin.
Why does a hockey player play hockey, why do boxers box? Why does anyone do anything? There's a rush, the adrenaline... the lifestyle... You find that one thing that you just love, and even after you've been gone from it for so long, you just want to go out there again and again. I felt like I was in good enough shape to get back to it... so here we are.
We'll I'll be sure to get the Pay Per view at the hotel tomorrow.
It'll be a helluva show!
Between you and Matt Metal I dont know who I dont understand more.
Hey... We're both young... Both have had a couple years to rest. Kindrid spirits.
Or insane you know... whatever.
Well no matter what you call it... All anyone can do is just deal with it!
Oh dont use your catch phrases with me!
Twister returns a friendly smirk then turns his attention to little Hunter.
Well buddy...
Dadee!
You know it champ. Your daddy has to go get his last work out in... Has a big match tomorrow you know.
One... Two... Free!
Twister and Sarah both laugh at their young son.
You bet kiddo... One day I'll show you tapes of all of Daddys matches... you can see him at his very best.
Twister leans over and kisses Hunter on the head. Hunter rubs his head in that playful toddler manner then grabs Twisters nose and laughs. Twister rubs the side of Hunters face and smiles.
Love ya buddy!
Tank - you...
Twister stands up laughing and Sarah jumps up in front of him.
You be careful out there tomorrow ok?
Twisters face almost looks a bit soft.
I'll be fine... I'll call you guys as soon after the show as I can.
Twister shares another hug with Sarah and pats his son on the head with a smile.
I love ya guys... I'll see ya real soon... Enjoy the vacation k?
Sarah sits back down as Hunter waves at his daddy walking out of the restaurant as the scene fades to black.
