Disclaimer: I do not own The Rock, Ryback, or anyone else mentioned. Oh, and the cooking in this story belongs to The Rock, unless Ryback steals it.
"Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?" The Rock shouted.
Daniel Bryan, who happened to be walking by with Kane, answered, "Uh, no."
"You're making peanut butter and banana sandwiches," Kane said, "We can't smell that from here."
"Well, then," The Rock said haughtily, "You're missing out." He proceeded to slather the bread in peanut butter, carefully placing slices of banana in meticulously straight lines. Kane and Daniel Bryan shrugged and continued on their way.
While they walked, the Tag Team Champions ran into Ryback. (I hear that they aren't the Champions anymore? Stupid Shield-Jerks :-( … grumble (Sorry Shield fans)) "Hey, guys," Ryback said, almost cheerfully, "Could you help me with something?"
Daniel's first reaction would have been to tell him no, for he didn't really like where this may have been heading. But, he had heard that people like Triple H and even 3MB, for Pete's sake, had gotten in on some stealing action involving The Rock. Maybe it would pay off to say yes, just this once.
While Daniel debated silently whether or not to say yes, Kane answered, "Depends on what you want us to do."
"Oh, I just need you two to distract The Rock for a few minutes, you know, stall him a bit," Ryback explained.
Before Daniel could respond, Kane asked, "What's in it for us?"
Ryback grinned. "Oh," he answered mischievously, "There's plenty in it for you. You'll see when we get there."
"Before you cut me off again, Kane," Daniel said, "I just want to say this one thing: YES!"
Turning to his tag team partner, Kane responded, "No, Daniel, this could be a trap."
Looking slightly annoyed with The Big Red Monster, Daniel shouted, "NO! This is the only action I've seen all day! I'm not passing this up!"
"FINE!" Kane thundered. In a just slightly gentler tone, he continued, "But if we get beat up by The Rock, I'm blaming you." Kane stormed off in the general direction of the kitchen.
"Geez, what's his problem?" Daniel murmured.
XXXX(One trek to the kitchen later)XXXX
"Alright, Daniel," Kane said, expertly following Ryback's plan, "I just want to make it clear that I am the Tag Team Champions."
"NO!" Daniel roared, "I AM THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!"
"I AM!" Kane bellowed back.
"NO!"
"YES!"
They went on like this for a while. The Rock quickly became infuriated and stormed away from the fourth, unfinished sandwich. "SHUT UP!" he hollered. "Look," he continued once the other two were silent, "Neither of you are the Tag Team Champions, The Shield is. So, know your roles, and SHUT YOUR MOUTHS!"
While that went on, Ryback lifted the plate of the three, finished sandwiches from its perch on the table. Taking an extra banana to be sure, Ryback slipped quietly from the kitchen. He tiptoed past the arguing tag team and the irritated Rock and moved softly toward his usual hiding place.
XXXX(Between the boxes)XXXX
Kane and Daniel arrived soon after Ryback, laughing about The Rock's reaction. "Did you see the look on his face?" Daniel asked between bursts of laughter, "Seriously, he was so mad!"
"Yeah," Kane chuckled, "Remember when he told us to shut our mouths? Priceless!"
Ryback grinned silently to himself as he handed over the rewards of peanut-butter-banana sandwiches. Then he wickedly devoured his own, saving the banana for a later date, for it was not currently ripe. Then, they could faintly hear The Rock scream, "MY SANDWICHES!"
Ahh… Good to be back. Miss me? Maybe I wasn't gone long, but it seemed like a long time waiting for that perfect beginning to come to me. Anyway, it came and thus followed the beginning of Lunch. I hope you enjoyed this little appetizer, please review!
