Day 11: Savings: Matt Hardy, Xavier Woods, R-Truth, and CM Punk.

"Matt, are you sure this is safe?" R-Truth asked as he drove the car deeper into the woods of Cameron, North Carolina.

"'Course it is, Truth!" Matt answered as he chuckled, his hand stuck out of the window to feel the snowflakes falling around them.

"Are you sure, Mr. Hardy?" Xavier asked respectfully, sandwiched in the back of the truck between a giddy Hornswoggle and a tied up CM Punk. "This doesn't seem like a very good idea."

Matt turned around in his seat, rolling his eyes at the younger man, and said, "Kid, come on! Would I do anything to get you all into any kind of danger?"

Punk rolled his eyes, and crossing his arms, answered with, "Of course you would! You're Matt Hardy! You; along with your insane teammates Jeff and Lita; were Team Extreme! Hell, you said that extreme was a lifestyle that you love to live!"

"Come on, Punk!" Matt smiled, making Punk want to smack him. "We're only going shopping for a Christmas tree!"

"In the middle of nowhere!"

"Technically, Punk, it's not nowhere." R-Truth intervened, smiling as he kept his eyes on the road. "We're deep in the woods of Cameron. Lovely town, Matt."

Matt smiled back at him, then turned once more to Punk. "Come on, Punkles, don't be such a downer and enjoy this! How long has it been since you last picked out your own Christmas tree?"

Punk only gave him a disinterested look, not even wanting to show any emotions. "I helped my little sister with the tree last year. But I've never cut down a tree myself."

Matt only smiled cheekily, saying, "Well, there's a first time for everything!", then straightened up in his chair. "Ooh, Truth, right here!" He yelled, pointed at an open field to the right, prompting the older man to park them there.

"You sure?"

"Course I am!"

R-Truth pulled into the vacant lot and turned the car off, smiling as Hornswoggle jumped over him, opened the drivers door, then jumped out. "You coulda waited, 'Swoggle!"

The small man grumbled something as he waved off Truth, making Xavier laugh at his mentor. "Don't have to be so mean, 'Swoggle!"

"Come on!" Matt suddenly yelled with Punk slung over his shoulder, the younger man punching his back and cursing at him. "I know where we can find the best trees!"

"Let's go, Leprechaun! Truth wants hisself a tree!" Truth ran and grabbed Hornswoggle, placing him on his back to run behind the Hardy.

"Don't forget about me, guys!" Xavier yelled, doing his best to catch up to his group.


"I... Hate... You..." CM Punk gasped in between pants, sweating profusely as he swung the ax down, Hornswoggle holding a whip behind him. "Hardy..."

"I hate you too, Punkles!" Matt laughed heartily, swinging happily and seemingly almost not exhausted. At all.

"How are you still so happy, Mr. Hardy?" Xavier panted, holding a half full water bottle.

He and Truth were sitting on a random stump all the while Hornswoggle treated Punk like a slave and Matt chopped at the tree.

"Kid, don't call me Mr. Hardy." Matt said, then looked down to where he and Punk were chopping. "'Swoggle, that's enough. Now we just need to push it and we'll have our tree!"

Truth laughed and ruffled Xavier's head as the younger groaned, knowing just how embarrassed he could be right now. Xavier was a sweet and polite kid so he treated his elders with respect, which rubbed some of the older superstars the wrong way because they had persistently told him not to be so respectful.

"Timber!" Matt suddenly yelled and Truth and Xavier found themselves having to jump out of the way to not be crushed by the new Christmas tree.

"Are you insane?" Truth gasped.

"You could have killed them!" Punk yelled, "Ow!" He then screamed, Hornswoggle having whipped him because of his protest.

Then, just as Hornswoggle was about to scold him and whip him once more, there was a huge roar, causing Xavier; who had gotten up from his near fatal predicament; to jump into Matt's arms, much like Shaggy would do to Scooby.

"You comfortable, kid?" Matt chuckled, looking down as Xavier fumbled with herself.

Then another loud roar, this one closer, and suddenly a giant black bear was in front of the group. "AAAHHH!" The five men all screamed, and they took off running back to the truck, Matt carrying Xavier and leaving their tree behind.

Hornswoggle got into the driver's side, seeing how he had gotten there the fastest, and started the truck, waiting for the other four men to jump into the truck's bed. "DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE!" Matt yelled, eyes wide as the bear got closer and closer.

And Hornswoggle took off, driving rather shakily and almost crashing many times, leaving the men screaming bloody hell. And back in the woods where they had come from, the bear they had run from slowly made its' way back to the tree, eyes shining with his tongue stuck out, happy to see who was waiting for him.

"Told you it'd work, Johnny Boy." Jeff Hardy smiled and chuckled, putting his hand out to pet the bear.

John only shook his head, then looked up at the man who had brought the bear. "Are you sure it was a good idea to do that to them? Matt has ways to find out when Jeff tricks him."

"Oh, I'm sure. It's not my fault that Matt still owes me from when he was still a rookie." The man's voice was gruff, and Jeff laughed with him.

"Come on, Steve. We get the tree set up, give you and Bosco here dinner, then you can go and scar Matt a bit more."

"I would like nothing else, Jeff." Stone Cold Steve Austin smiled, crouching to pet his bear, chuckling as he thought about the many more he ways he could get back at Matt.

Okay, so, it's funny. I highly doubt Stone Cold Steve Austin would have a bear, but it works.
