A birthday treat (now O2E)

[Kayn]

*takes place the afternoon of the Takedown show in Seattle*

Key
Kayn
Dante
Victoria

*After taking a few days off away from the business, Kayn stood in the ring that was set up in the middle of the Key Arena with two of his favorite people in the world, his sister Victoria and his seven year old nephew Dante. The night of the show just also happened to be Dante’s seventh birthday, so as a present Kayn decided to not only get them to the show, but also give Dante a day in the life of his uncle. Kayn walked around on his knees so he was only a little taller than his nephew, who was wearing one of the t-shirts of his hero XXL, and play wrestled with him.*

“I’m XXL! The National Champion! I’ll win no matter what, because I’m the best!”

“Kayn, I think this is spoiling him a little too much.”

“Aww come on Vicki, how many chances do I get to spend a day with my nephew, especially his birthday? OK Dante, it’s time to see what you're made of.”

*As Kayn hobbled over to Dante, Dante fake kicked Kayn in the stomach. Kayn doubled over and Dante pushed him down. Dante climbed on Kayn in a pinning position.*

“One, two, three! I WIN! I WIN!”

*Dante ran around the ring as if he won the World Championship. Kayn sat up and laughed at Dante.*

“If you keep that up, someday you’ll be a champ, just like your hero XXL.”

“Really? Do you think so Uncle Kayn?”

“Only after you graduate college Dante."

“Aww, mom.”

*Kayn snuck up behind Dante and picked him up and held him by his legs.*

“UNCLE KAYN!”

“You need to listen to your mother, because I sure don’t.”

*Kayn swung Dante around and held him right side up. He looked at Victoria and smiled as she rolled her eyes at her younger brother. Then Kayn looked at Dante and said*

“How’s your birthday so far?

“This is the best yet!”

“Are you ready for your next surprise?”

“I sure am!”

“OK, let’s go.”

*Kayn put Dante down and held the ring ropes up for him and Victoria to climb out of the ring. After he climbed out he grabbed Dante and put him on his shoulders. Kayn led them to the backstage area. There was a lot still going on before the show would be taped and Dante’s eyes were wide with amazement. He didn’t realize how much went on in the backstage area of a show. He looked at all the people in the back, setting up monitors and cameras. He saw a bunch of the XWA superstars getting ready for their matches, cutting promos and all around just preparing for the show. Dante whispered to Kayn.*

“Uncle Kayn, do you work with all these people?”

“Yep, in one way or another. There’s a lot of things to do before we do a show.”

“Wow!”

*Kayn turned a corner and stood in front of a door. He took Dante off his shoulders and put him down on the ground. On the door was a sign that said “Xander Xavier Luther”. Dante’s eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. Kayn got down on one knee and put his arm around Dante.*

“Uncle Kayn, is XXL REALLY in there?”

“I don’t know. Why don’t you knock and find out?”

*Dante seemed a little scared to knock, but then knocked as hard as he could and waited to see if XXL was really behind the door.*

[Kayn]

*Dante waited a few moments and there was no answer. He looked up at his uncle and gave him a look as if to say “You’re a liar.” Kayn looked at his nephew and said*

“He must not have gotten here yet, I’m sure we’ll see him later tonight. Come on, let’s get some more autographs for that book of yours from some other wrestlers and diamonds.”

*Kayn lifted Dante back up and they started walking through the backstage area of the arena with Victoria with them. As they walked Dante saw a few of the other wrestlers standing around chatting with each other and he wanted to get some autographs and pictures, so Kayn put him down and he ran over to one of the wrestlers.*

“Excuse me, can I get an autograph?”

*Dante looked up as one of the wrestlers turned around.*

[Keith Wyle]

Keith was talking it up with some of the crew when he hears this small voice form below him, turning around he sees Kayn a young woman and a kid with an autograph book, squatting down to the child level speaks in his non-ring tone of voice

Well Hello there

[Kayn]

“You’re the ‘Wyldman’ Keith Wyle! I remember you from the matches you had with my Uncle Kayn. My name is Dante, can I have your autograph?”

*Dante hands Keith his autograph book. While Keith signs the book, Dante asks a question.*

“I’ve always wanted to ask you a question. What’s a rock opera and why do you call my uncle that?”

*Kayn smiles at his nephew's question. He walks over, kneels down on one knee next to Dante and looks at Keith.*

“Yea Keith, what’s a rock opera and why do you call me that?”

*Kayn is obviously joking around, playfully mocking Keith. Something about spending time with his nephew brings out the kid in Kayn. A 7’2”, 315 lbs kid, but the kid none the less.*

[Keith Wyle]

As Keith heard the words as he signed the autograph book and saw Kayn

Well Dante do you know what a opera is with lady singing but you can't hear what she saying....

Dante nods his head as Kayn gets a look on his face

Well that's how your uncle's theme song sounds like, a rock opera ;D

[Kayn]

*Kayn looks at Keith while Dante does one of those cute kid laughs.*

“Come on Keith. If you’re gonna call a spade a spade, at least call it a death metal opera. For crying out loud.”

*Dante laughed at both men bickering over the finer points of making fun of entrance music.*

“You two are funny!”

*Both men look down at Dante. Kayn responds.*

“We’re funny? Is that what you think?”

*Kayn reaches down and grabs Dante and flips him upside down again. Dante laughs and giggles the entire time.*

“Do you think this is funny? I think you’re funny with your face turning red like a tomato. I’m going to call you ‘Tomato Face’ from now on. Keith, meet my nephew ‘Tomato Face’.”

*Kayn holds Dante upside down, both of them laughing the entire time, and waits to see if Keith would like to say anything.*

[Keith Wyle]

Well hello Tomato Face, have you seen Dante I wanna get him another autograph

Keith says at Dant....I'm sorry I mean Tomato Face, as the group share a laugh

[Kayn]

*Kayn, Keith and Dante all have a good laugh, however Victoria doesn’t look too pleased.*

”Kayn, be careful. You know you could hurt him right?”

“Vicki, you need to relax. He’s having fun.” *Kayn holds Dante the right side up and looks at him.* “Isn’t that right Tomato Face?”

”Yea mom, I’m having fun with Uncle Rock Opera.”

*Kayn has a surprised look on his face, like this *

“I’ll give you Uncle Rock Opera.”

*Kayn holds Dante upside down again as Victoria gets more perturbed at her brother.*

“So Tomato Face, what do you say to Mr. Wyle for the autograph?”

”Thank you for the autograph Mr. Wyle.”

*Kayn flips Dante over and puts him on the ground. He’s a little dizzy from all the blood that has rushed to his head and he stagers around for a moment. He looks up at Kayn and says*

”That was fun, let’s do that again!”

*Kayn leans down and whispers to Dante*

“Later, when your mom can’t yell at me.”

*Dante smiles as Kayn stands back up and he looks at Keith.*

“Thanks man. We’re gonna try and get this thing filled today, so we have a lot more superstars to try and catch up with before the show starts.”

*Kayn waits for Keith to respond.*

[Keith Wyle]

Well alright then

Keith then squats down to Dante's level

Hey Dante you know that pretty lady in pink that does the splits in the ring

Dante nods his head in excitement

Well if you gimme some time I can get her to autograph your book for you, how does that sound?

[Kayn]

"Uncle Kayn? Mom? Would that be OK?"

*Kayn laughed a little at Dante. The poor kid had a crush on one of the Diamonds.*

"I think that would OK. What do you think Vic?"

*Victoria smiled at her son's excitement. It seemed to be the first time she smiled the entire day.*

"I think that would be absolutley fine."

"HOORAY!"

[Amber Gianni]

Amber just so happened to be wandering the backstage area herself. Another week off it would seem, but she does make the most of her in ring appearances nowadays, doesn't she?

She just happened to see her man standing and chatting ti up with Kayn of all people...these two had some history didn't they? Even more curious was the woman and child accompanying them. Since they were pretty close to Mr. Kayn...she instantly figured that it must have been his wife and child (cuz if it was Keith's he'd be dead man... ). She walks on over and smiles her winning smile.

Hey there baby...

*A little smooch on the cheek*

Wow...didn't think I'd see you two shootin' the breeze the way you went at it the first month here....

[Keith Wyle]

Well funny how a couple months and a couple of house parties do that

Keith wraps his arm around her waist looks down at Dante

Oh yea this little man here is Dante, and he here's with his mom and his uncle Kayn collecting autographs, he got mine and I told him that if he gave me some time I could get the autograph of one of his favorite Diamonds....a pretty Italian lady that wears pink would you happen to know her Amber?

Keith winked at Dante as he laughed at Keith's joke

[Amber Gianni]

Oh really? Well...let me see if I can find her, hmm?

*Amber looks around, left...then right.*

Oh, wait...that's me isn't it? Tee Hee...I'd be honored.

*She bends herself down towards little Dante, her hands on her knee and gives him a big, bright smile.

So, how old are you big guy?

[Kayn]

*Dante smiles and blushes a little bit*

“Today is my seventh birthday. Uncle Kayn brought me to the show to meet my favorite wrestlers.”

*Dante stood somewhat nervously in front of Amber, he didn’t know what to say or do. He handed his autograph book to her for an autograph.*

[Amber Gianni]

Oh? Well congratulations on the big number 7, Dante!

She gives the boy a little peck on the cheek and then she signs...

Happy Birthday to the cutest guy on the planet!
Amber Gianni
XOXO
