Shawn awoke feeling pain all over. When he opened his eyes, Paul, Sean, and Sunny sat staring at him with looks of relief written across their gloomy and tired faces.

"Where am I?" Shawn asked confused.

"Baby, you are in the hospital" said Sunny.

"What? Why? What happened?"

"There was a fight at the bar we went to last night" said Paul.

"The girl that was hanging out with us, her boyfriend beat you up while his buddies beat us up" said Sean.

"It was a brutal fight Shawn. You've been unconscious for six hours. We have been worried sick" said Sunny.

"Oh, I remember what happened. I remember a woman's voice coming to help me."

"Yeah Shawn the woman must have dropped you in front of the hotel room door and took off. No one saw her" said Sunny as she kissed Shawn's bruised cheek.

Shawn smiled then looked at the three standing in front of them confused.

"Wait… No one saw her or thanked her?" he asked confused.

"No, she left you in front of Sunny's hotel room door and took off" said Paul nervously.

"Is there any way we can find her?"

"No, no one ever saw her. It was late so there was no concierge either" said Sean.

The doctor walked in looking at the chart and x-rays that he had in his hands on Shawn.

"Mr. Michaels, I'm Dr. Chamberlain. I have looked over your x-rays and you have no broken bones in your face. You are extremely lucky sir. However, you are at high risk of herniating a disk in your back if you get in the ring too soon."

"Ok sir, thank you. May I go home now?" asked Shawn.

"Yes you may but I must require you to stay out of the ring for at least a month in order for your back to heal properly. Sir, I must warn you, if you do not let your back heal now, it may never heal properly and surgery may have to take place in order for you to just sit comfortably."

"Thank you Dr. Chamberlain. I heed your warning and I understand. Will I comply? There is a possibility but it is not likely. You see, I must do my job to pay my bills just like you. So we will see what my boss will allow."

"Mr. Michaels, this is very serious. If you wrestle, your back may never be the same. We may have to put rods in your back just to keep you standing up straight."

"Shawn, you can get time off work" said Sunny with a smile.

"Yeah Shawn, I mean, Vince will give you the time off if we tell him what happened" said Paul reassuringly.

"Guys, I have to do my job. If I don't I don't get paid. End of story!" said Shawn angrily.

"Mr. Michaels, if your back does not heal, you may never be able to walk again, let alone wrestle."

"Doctor, we will get him the time off" said Sean.

"I sure hope so. I would hate to have to perform a drastic surgery on this man because he wouldn't take time off to rest."

"Don't worry sir, he will take the time off" said Paul.

"Yes he will and I know exactly how" said Sunny with a seductive smile.

"May we take him home now Sir?" asked Paul.

"Yes, but he is confined to bed rest for a week at least. Am I understood?"

"Yes Dr. Chamberlain" Paul, Sunny, and Sean said in unison.

"Ok then, I will print out his discharge summary then one of you needs to sign his release forms. Then you are free to go."

"I will sign them" said Paul as he walked out with the doctor.

"So how do you feel?" asked Sunny worriedly.

"Fine, just sore but an Advil can fix that" said Shawn with a smile.

"Ok let's get you home" said Sean.

The three walked out of the hospital wheeling Shawn out in a wheel chair. Once at the car, Paul lifted Shawn up and got him in the back seat. Sunny climbed in beside him while the other two jumped in the front seat.

"Guys, can we stop at McDonalds to get a burger and fries please?" Shawn asked.

"Hungry are we?" asked Sunny teasingly.

"Starving babe" he said and kissed the side of her head.

After an hour of driving to find a McDonalds, they finally found one right around the corner from the arena. They pulled into the drive thru, ordered and left. When they arrived back at the hotel, Sunny tucked Shawn into bed to let him rest. As soon as he fell asleep, the three began to talk.

"What should we do?" asked Sunny.

"Well he needs to rest for sure" said Paul

"But what are we going to do about Vince?" asked Sean. "We all know, time off is a big no no."

"Yeah but if Shawn doesn't get the time off, he may never walk again" said Paul.

"That's it I'm calling Vince" said Sunny as she picked up her cell phone.

She dialed his number and quickly told Vince what had happened. When she hung up, Paul and Sean looked at her hopefully.

"He has two months vacation no questions asked" she smiled.

"Now how are we going to tell him that?" asked Sean worriedly.

"He will get over it" said Paul.

"Come on, let's get his things packed" said Sunny. "We are going on a two month Hawaiian vacation."
