A Circus to remember
Chapter 1- They arrive
Taker looked about with a sneer on his face, as a new part of a 'shape up program' he had selected a few WWE superstars to be taken in by Cirque Du Soleil in order to learn about teamwork and co-operation. "This sucks," announced Edge as he put his bags down. "How could Vicky do this to me! How could she let it happen?" he demanded aloud.
"At the moment Edge, none of us care," snapped back Kane. "We're all stuck here so suck…"
"IT!" announced Triple H, Kane glared angrily at Hunter. "What? You said suck, the 'it' part just comes out naturally to me"
"This is going to be a long few months" muttered Jeff to his brother Matt. The Hardys began to look around and take in the sights. Jeff saw some of the performers setting up and testing out the equipment. Matt was shocked the moment Taker stood behind him.
"Deadman?" he asked.
"What? I am just as curious as you are" Taker snapped back, however Matt sensed he was hiding something. Looking back to the group, Kane was having a conversation with some of the circus performers and spoke of the reason why they were here. The people smiled and nodded and welcomed the wrestlers with open arms.
"We will have you all in very good shape yes?" one asked, the latest person to join Cirque Du Soleil was from Russia. He warmed up instantly to the wrestlers and vowed they would be wonderful performers.
"Wait. Performers?" questioned Kane.
"Yes, did he not tell you? When done, you all go on the show!"
Kane began to look more pale than usual. He turned to Taker and mouthed 'we're screwed!'
Taker on the other hand rolled his eyes. There were other superstars taking part in this 'training excurses' but they decided to wonder about. Big Show for once, yet the Deadman tried to figure out where the hell he was going to fit in this place.
As Taker turned his attention back to the Hardys, he already saw Jeff jumping on the trapeze. He began to think that was easy enough for him to do. "Shot gun the trampoline!" Taker called out.
"Oh no, no friend. We have your task picked out for you!" called the circus performer. His stage name was Phoenix, so the guys stuck with it. "We have selected your programs for you. So you will learn something instead of remaining in a comfort zone"
"You're about to lose yours…" Kane quickly rushed up and clasped his hand over his brother's mouth. "I think he means to say is by all means, please show us where we look for it"
Phoenix led them into the back where they met the ringmaster, he greeted the superstars and showed them what they were going to be doing. Jeff was going to be on the trapeze. Matt with the acrobats, Kane was to be juggling fire and the Undertaker was to be the ringmaster of the show.
"Isn't the ring master a clown?" asked Triple H.
Taker cleared his voice. "It's not always the case"
"Oh my I nearly forgot you Triple H and Edge. Edge you will be with Mr. Matt Hardy as an acrobat. Triple H, you shall be the ringmaster then"
There appeared to be a silent sigh of relief on Taker's face. He was left with nothing to do now. "Well, I guess I shall be going then"
"Nonsense, Phoenix said you wanted to learn trapeze, so you shall with Jeff Hardy"
"See Deadman, there's a reason why we went all those years wearing Spandex! So we would be ready for the circus," laughed Kane. Yet he couldn't help but wonder how the hell was he going to juggle?
