[Begin Scene] -

The camera gives us a scene. We are shown a few people window shopping as the fresh Iowa snow hits the ground. Some children throw snowballs at eachother and laugh. Their parents join in on the fun. We see an outdoor ice skating rink. Everyone is having a good time. Icicles are forming from the rooftops and piles of snow shimmer on the ground. Christmas lights illumniate the town of Ames as children await Christmas morning. Then we see him. He still has the handcuffs on. He topples a woman and her presents running, weaving every which way. He hops onto the Ice Skating Rink and slides across to the other side. We see two men following him. He hides behind a shed in the local park. Dogs bark at him but he ignores them. The men run past him and he jumps them from the back. He bodyslams one.....then gives the other a stunner virtually snapping his neck. They crumple to the ground like a snowflake hits the ground. He brushes himself off and grabs a key from the utility belt of one of the men. He unlocks his cuff. We see the man's ID card it reads, "Iowa State Mental Hospital". Matt Saunders just props his head against the outhouse as he relaxes after the nice jog. He begins to speak.

Matt Saunders - What have I done? Why am I this way? Who knows. Maybe it's just a phase. A stepping stone in front of my destiny. Why did Sean have to put me in that place? I thought he was better than that. At least they had T.V. I could watch wHw promos. But from what I saw....wHw looks different with out me. Without EGO. I think Sean was right. I am losing my mind. I am losing my grip on reality. But why? How could it come to this? Not a month ago I was in the United Title hunt, now I am locked up in a Mental Home? This can't be reality. I can remember back home. I can remember Christmas. Mom's homemade Christmas cookies. Dad's warm fires. The tree. The presents and the smile on my face. But that's all gone now. All I have is my wrestling carrer, and a friend who thinks I am insane. But maybe I am. I can't even tell. This Christmas is gonna blow. I don't even have a place to crash. I am on the run for godsake. I don't wanna be another Pimp of Darkness or a Keshawn Givens. I wanna be the old Matt Saunders. The one who had the fans, the one who had the smile on his face. But there is only one person who can turn my life around. Sean is the only person I have now. I wonder what he is doing for Christmas.....I'll call him in a bit. First I have a couple issues to address!

Saunders turns around as one of the men have awoken. He pulls out a tazer. Saunders superkicks it out of his hand and gives him a monkey flip. He pulls the man to the top of the shed. He smiles and just gorilla presses him off. The men is knocked out again. The other one begins to emerge from his deep sleep. Saunders hits a missile drop kick from the top on the man. He does a somersault into a redwood tree and collapses. Saunders just stands there and talks again.

Matt Saunders - God, no pun intended, why couldn't I do this in the ring. Why in the fuck couldn't I beat people such as Greg Harris or Ryan Rich. I expect to hear a few smartass remarks after that comment, but right now I could careless. You two are sad and I am sick of cutting interviews on your asses. You guys have made me tired. Maybe you were the ones who drove me mad? I doubt it. No one with a skill level as low as you guys could ever effect me. But there is now more important things to take care of. Something I was hoping would happen for awhile. A group being over confidant. A group stupid enough to think they are on top of the fed. I have wished and dreamed about this day that a group so retarded would come out of the closet as my friend Sean would say and challenge the fed to counter them. Well for fucksakes, I'M RIGHT HERE! You guys just make me laugh and snicker. What the hell kind of a name is PANIC first of all? Sounds like a constapation medicine to me. You fools can't even come up with a creative name. Ravage. You piece of horseshit. You never deserved that title and Kimbro beat you. Hurrah. But....then Kimbro made a fatal mistake. He came with you guys. He turned to the stupidest people in the world for help. Makes me sick. Makes me absolutly sick. I thought you might be the only person besides me and Sean that have some common sense. And then you just throw it all away. Hendrix. You double crossing bastard. You leave K N O X for this gimmick infringing bastards. They have no talent man. I thought you were a lot smarter than that. King...I mean...Corsea...I mean...Orleans. All I have to do is laugh. Saddest name I have ever heard of. Most pathetic attempt at a wrestler I have ever seen. And the least cut out for a leadership role in this whole fucking fed. I am glad you gave the regins to Ravage. Makes the stable that much more vulnrable. I have more important things to do that talk about how bad PANIC is. I need to call Sean.

He spots a pay phone in the distance. He drags the mens bodies into the outhouse and scurries to the phone. He dials some numbers and he begins the conversation.

Matt Saunders - Sean?

Unknown Woman - Hello? Who is this?

Matt Saunders - The plan worked.....oh this is Matt Saunders, is Sean there?

Unknown Woman - I'm sorry, but he's in the shower. May I take a message?

Matt Saunders - Get me Sean Rivers.....

Unknown Woman - Now, wait just a second....

Matt Saunders - How hard is it Cam.....just get me Sean NOW! Tell him his friend Matt is on the phone and it's important.

Unknown Woman - Matt? Okay, I'll get him right away.

Matt Saunders - I'm dreamin of a White Christmassssssssssss.....

The woman scurries away, even though she's frightened of the prospect of Sean Rivers rejoining his lunatic friend.

Sean Rivers - What is it?

Matt Saunders - Hey Sean. Well I got a favor to ask of ya. I was just thinking about Christmas....and I know you have a place in Ames.....I was wondering if I could spend Christmas there?

Sean Rivers - Yeah, you can...but aren't you still in the hospital?

Matt Saunders - I busted out man. I couldn't stand it there dude. Why the hell did you put me in there anyway? I'm fine bro. I can handle it.

Sean Rivers - No, you're not and there's no way I can let you stay down there by yourself. I'll have to come down with you.

Matt Saunders - No need man. Why does everyone think I have gone insane? I am still the same old Matt my man.

Sean Rivers - I am coming and that's not what you were saying before.

Matt Saunders - That was a week ago man. I thought about what I did back at the mansion. It was stupid. It wasn't like me. I am fine now. Just needed sometime. But why the hospital? Why not your house? Or a hotel or something?

Sean Rivers - I really didn't know what to do...if I could even stop you from jumping next time.

Matt Saunders - Jumping? What the hell are you talking about Sean? This one of your smartass jokes man?

Sean Rivers - No, it's not one of my "smartass jokes." You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Matt Saunders - What the hell are you talking about? I never was gonna jump from anywhere. I remember going into the house then the hospital, that's it man. I would never go man. I can't leave everyone behind, if that's even what you are trying to say I was gonna do. Suicide is something I could never do man. Look.....I would never do that Sean.....I would never....

Sean Rivers - You were about to....

Matt Saunders - I never tried to jump. I think you were imagining things. There is no way I could leave this fed, or leave the team for that matter. Believe me Sean...I think I would remember trying to kill myself...

Sean Rivers - You obviously have blocked it out....I don't know why, but you were about to, before I stopped you.....

Matt Saunders - Forget it man. Whatever happened...I'm still ere right? Still your partner....so what time your place?

Sean Rivers - Um...I don't know if I can make it for a while. Give me three hours, I need to finish...tying up some loose ends here......

Matt Saunders - Well shit Sean, I have a pair of working legs. Stop treating my like an idiot like those PANIC members, alright?

Sean Rivers - Maybe I would, if I knew what the hell Panic was.

Matt Saunders - Huh? They.....oh nevermind it. No one can understand me. I'll be there in a few hours. Later Sean.

Sean Rivers - Wait a second.....

Matt Saunders - What Sean?

Sean Rivers - Actually, I'll be right there.... I don't want to leave you alone for too long..

Matt is about to say that isn't necessary, but he hears the receiver click and then a dial tone.

Matt Saunders - Goddamnit. What the hell is going on? What was Sean talking about? I never tried to kill myself....did I? I don't get it. I don't understand why I am like this.....I'll go meet him. Maybe Christmas at his place will cure me....

He waits on the sidewalk for his friend to arrive and house him for his friend Christmas with someone in 10 years.... But what is wrong with our hero? Why can't he remember what happened that night? Who was that woman? And what will Santa Claus bring Matt Saunders? Only time will tell......
