Chapter 2- Decorating for a monster.
Brian, Paul and Punk arrived at the arena early the next day, they looked over the locker room arrangement and figured out where Kane was going to be changing, he was sharing a place with Batista. "Dave wouldn't mind the decor… so… let's get to it!" smirked Brian.
They had come carrying boxes upon boxes of decorations, and slipped into the locker room. They began to string up the tinsel, hang the lights and make little stockings for the place. When it was done. Punk added the prefect final touch; a fake snow machine to make it look like it was a winter wonderland. Smiling with great pride the three left the locker room and waited for Kane to arrive. It wasn't long though. Kane arrived early, Batista wasn't too far behind as they checked to see what locker room they will be changing in. Kane sneered to the idea and Batista only shrugged to it.
The two men came to the locker room, Kane opened the door and stood there… perplexed and confused as ever. The fake snow began to drift out of the door as a singing snowman Paul put in earlier began to start the twelve days of Christmas. Kane stared at Dave oddly. "Festive are we?"
"What! You think I did this!" he demanded.
"Yeah, because I don't know if you noticed… I am not in the Christmas spirit!" he growled lowly.
Kane soon peered pass Batista and saw London, Kendrick and Punk peering from around the corner. "Looks like there are elves in our midst" he growled lowly.
"Run… and fast!" whispered London as the three of them high tailed it out of the hallway.
They got a good distance from Kane, before pausing to catch their breath. "Well… that went over well!" growled Brian
"At least Batista seemed to like it" smirked Punk.
However the three didn't notice someone continued to watch them from the shadows, plotting and idea.
The setback had both Paul and Brian rather upset, Punk was more determined than ever. The three were not going to give up; they were going to get Kane in the Christmas spirit even if they died trying… which wouldn't be a stretch considering what they are dealing with.
They tried getting the catering people to make festive dishes in Christmas patterns. However it didn't seem to work. Kane threw the Christmas garnishes over his shoulder and just ate the same way he always did. Some pointed out his meatloaf was in the shape of a reindeer, but Kane only rolled his eyes. "I would care why?" he demanded.
"This… isn't going over so well… is it?" Punk asked as he poked at his snowman-mashed potatoes.
"Not at all, I swore the rice crispy trees would have clenched it! No one refuses those… you saw the commercial right?" questioned Paul.
"Yeah, I mean if a little girl gave them to him…"
"The little girl would be scared out of her wits!" snapped back Punk before Brian could finish his sentence. "Maybe we are going about it the wrong way… I mean… have you see Taker. Sure he doesn't show it… but there has to be some sort of Christmas cheer to him…" Punk stared off into the distance as Taker helped himself to a rice crispy treat. "See! He took one… but not Kane!"
"Perhaps… we need to consult the Deadman on this." Announced London. "Who's with me?"
Brian's hand went up, as did Punk's. "Operation jolly red is a go!" Punk announced
"Jolly Red?" Brian asked.
"What? It was that or Operation chestnuts on an open fire"
"Jolly Red it is, but you do realize, if Kane finds out… we're dead!" questioned London.
"Who knows, perhaps the Christmas spirit will be with us?" Punk smirked.
