Dakota is home sitting in a small odd-looking sofa. Comyfy, no. Itchy, yes. Pissing him off, yes. Dakota stands up and scratches his neck. The material on the damn couch must irritate his skin. Well, it comes as no surprise as he got it from some people in the town when he moved into his own apartment. No, its not a crappy apartment; Its actually quite good. Big, nice, clean. Its all Dakota needs at the moment. Dakota than gets ready to leave his apartment to buy a new sofa, but the phone suddenly rings. Dakota sighs, thinking it may be a telemarketer. But it could be W2K, asking him to come out over there to get ready for a match. Dakota walks over to the phone and pulls it up to his ear and he listens.
Caller : Hey Matt, whats going on?
Dakota : Huh? Who are you? ..Matlock?
Caller : Pfft, Matlock? You serious? Nah, its me your freind.. Luke. So whats going on man? Sitting at home in luxery with your Tag Team Title? Haha..
Dakota : Yeah man, exactly right. I was just heading out to get a new sofa until YOU called. So what do you want? Money? A drive to somewhere?
Luke : Nope, I want you to come out to my area. I gotta tell ya summin', and it can't be on the phone. Aight?
Dakota : Alright, see you there.
Dakota hangs the phone up and walks out of his apartment. He closes the door and walks down the fleet of stairs. Once he is on the bottom floor he walks out of the door and makes his way to his car, a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire. Its a cold day, a cold winter day. February 19th has frost grass, bare trees and kids playing in snow. Dakota HATES winter. He can't stand it one little bit. Summer is the time for him, where he can walk around the city; Showing himself off, ladies looking at him. Summer is the life for Dakota. Winter just makes his life a hell-hole. Once Dakota is in his car, he shuts the door. He turns the Crossfire on and backs out of the parking space. He drives forward onto the road. One he is on the road he drives around the city to find his freinds area. He drives past the Metro Centre, the main-stadium of Halifax. He drives on for about 3 more minutes until he reaches a big 2 story blue house. Of course, its his freinds. It has a long driveway with alot of cars. Dakota doesn't remember Luke having this many cars since he last saw him. Dakota parks behind among all the cars in the driveway. He turns the car off and closes the door when he walks out. He makes his way up to the stairs and knocks on the door. No answer. He knocks a couple more times and still, no answer. He opens the door and walks in. He takes his shoes off on the front mat and walks out of the porch. He goes to the stairs and walks up them. He sees bowls with potato chips in them, 2litre bottles of pepsi and coke, a dish-tray of chocolates.. All full, never touched. And he sees.. BEER!! Luke must have had a part last night or something. Dakota walks towards the food and everybody from his grade 12 class in Highschool jumps out and yells "SURPRISE!!". Dakota gets startled and jumps. Music than begins to play and Luke walks up to Dakota with a can of beer.
Luke : 'Sup man, hows the welcome? We haven't seen you since graduation day. This isn't what you call a grade 12 re-union, its.. Uhh.. A party, for you! You deserve it man, putting hard work into wrestling and most of all getting Nova Scotia noticed. You are the main thing of Nova Scotia, Matlock; Haha, man ya gotta be kidding. He doesn't even know who he is since he is always drinking or gazing into that title belt. Now, remember; Your in the Anarchy Battle Royal. Hopefully you'll win and get a W2K Title shot at WrestlePalooza.
Dakota nods and grabs a can of beer himself. He opens it and drinks some. He looks around, noticing old high-school freinds and enemies. All of them are having a great time. Even his most hated enemy of all, Rob Nem. Dakota walks up to him and Rob doesn't show any smiles. Dakota than begins to speak to him as the others party on.
Dakota : Rob, guess who made it into wrestling and started making big bucks? ..Uhh, yeah; Thats right, ME!! In highschool you doubted me, you thought I was always the one who couldn't do jackshit. But I proved you wrong. I'm twice the man of you. I give people respect, show them that I'm not a self-centred prick like you are, or were. So Rob, face it.. I'm better than you and others. This is my party, so start showing respect to me.
Rob nods and speaks back to Dakota.
Rob Nem : Yeah Matt, I know your a wrestler and got a Tag Team Title. I know your making big bucks and I know I doubted you. But you too doubted ME. I'm now a lawyer making alot of money and my wife is the mayor of Halifax. We're all good in money and more people in Halifax know her than you. So Dakota, go enjoy your party because quite frankly I don't really care what you have to say..
Dakota takes another drink of his beer and speaks to Rob again, trying to piss him off and get on his nerves. Dakota never stops.
Dakota : Rob, you forgot to mention one thing. In grade 12, you said she was going to be YOUR bitch.. But hey, turns out your HER bitch. Haha..
Dakota smiles and laughs, than walks away. Rob ignores Dakota and heads over to the food and grabs a handful of potato chips. Dakota walks back to his freind, Luke, and begins to talk to him some more.
Dakota : Uhh, Luke.. I got a question for you. Did anybody *not* make it to this party? I just wanna know because I think I remember more people than this at the highschool graduation.
Luke shakes his head as in *no*. He begins to speak to Dakota.
Luke : Matt, everybody made it. Your freinds; Your enemies; Your.. others. Nobody's gone, maybe you remember more people were at the grads because Phat Phil lost weight over there.
Luke points over to a man who used to be big in highschool, Phat Phil. Everybody liked him, he was big.. And.. Cool!! Phat Phil looked as if he lost about 170 pounds. Dakota nods and walks up to him.
Dakota : Phat Phil man, whats new?
Phat Phil looks at Dakota and seems surprised.
Phat Phil : Ohhh, hey bro. 'Sup?
Dakota : Nothing, so.. You lost the weight?
Phat Phil : Yeah man, for sure. I didn't do it, the lypo suction did. Haha.. Rob payed for it, I was at risk of dying man. I was having heart problems and all. Good thing you were gone when I had them because you wouldn't want to see me. After all the weight was gone, I was getting in shape; Wanting to be just like you, dude.
Dakota : Like me? ..Why? Is it because I am W2K Tag Team Champ?
Phat Phil : No, I just want to get the ladies like you.. They say its because your in shape, So Matt.. Next time you come back to Halifax, you'll see me pimping and having hoes here and hoes there. Nah, haha.. So have a good time here man.
Dakota walks away from Phat Phil and drinks the rest of his beer. He sets the can on the counter and he grabs another can. He opens it up and drinks some. Luke walks up to Dakota and begins to talk.
Luke : So you having a good time Matt? Like your celebration party? ..Come here.
Luke brings Dakota downstairs to a room with everything. Benchpress, punching bag, treadmill, excercise bike, pool table, plasma television, good couch, personal bar and a huge stereo set. Dakota looks at the place in amazement.. Liking it. Everything there is good quality, nothing can get better than it. Luke leads Dakota to the bar and gets him a glass of beer.
Luke : This place Matt, is my area. I am in here most of the day. Working out, watching t.v. and drinking beer. Life doesn't get better than that. You wouldn't know that because your on the road most of the time. You know what you should do? Settle down, get an in-town job.. Don't stick to wrestling. So what if its a job that gets Nova Scotia and you noticed. You're better off here anyways. You should get a good job, buy a house, buy all of the latest things. Thats what I'm doing Matt, I came down here to ask you.. Please, don't risk yourself every night in W2K. I don't want you to die or even get serioussly hurt. I can get you a job somewhere that has high payments.
Dakota looks at Luke, wondering why he wants Dakota to quit wrestling and get a job in town. Dakota replies to Luke.
Dakota : Luke, I don't want to quit wrestling. Its the only thing I'm good at. Remember in highschool when I was trying to become trucker? ..Ha, I don't want to talk about it. AND also, I aint good at math. I was good in Physical Education and Phys Ed is part of wrestling. I am already to good in W2K to leave it now, they need me. Now Luke, once I retire.. Nova Scotia will be noticed. Nova Scotia will have tourists everywhere. Millionaires, billions and trillionaires will buy houses and make alot of companys. Halifax will be famous. Alright Luke?
Luke : F.. Fine. Lets hope you making this place famous..
Dakota : Yeah, but Luke.. I gotta go. I need to get a new couch before the stores close in.. SHIT!! 32 minutes!! See ya..
Dakota walks up to the stairs and puts his shoes on. He runs down the driveway and gets in his car. He turns it on and drives out of the driveway. He reaches the road and begins to drive down the road.. TO THE NEAREST SOFA STORE HE GOES!!
Caller : Hey Matt, whats going on?
Dakota : Huh? Who are you? ..Matlock?
