Rey was sitting on his couching flipping through the TV channels until he landed on the Entertainment channel.

"Other news in Entertainment." The lady said. "Fozzy had a concert a few nights ago in Toronto where, front man, Chris Jericho pulled a lucky fan on stage and sung to him…but many are speculating that this 'fan' may not be a fan at all."

"Baby." Rey called to Dave. "Come in here now." Rey yelled and Dave came rushing in with a bottle of wine, two glasses, and some chips. He put all of the contents on the table before taking a seat next to Rey.

"What's up?"

"Watch." Rey told him and pointed to the TV.

"This footage." The footage of the concert was show. "Was filmed by a cellphone camera by a person who was sitting in the front row. It shows Chris Jericho pulling a blonde man onto the stage and singing to him. After the song, he place a kiss on the man's cheek before pulling him backstage. Three days later, Chris Jericho and the unidentified blonde male were spotted in Vancouver holding hands and kissing." The camera cuts to a picture of Chris stealing a kiss from Adam. " Chris Jericho has always been very open about his sexuality and the rock community has always accepted him, but we've never seen him with another man until now. Is this blonde his new beau or is he just apart of the act? Will keep you updated as the situation develops."

"Let me guess." Dave says as he pours his wine. "You hooked them up."

"Yeah." Rey smiled. "They were my creation. I love seeing my creations come to life." Rey says as he wipes away the fake tear.

Dave chuckled. "You sound like a mad scientist."

"Shut up, you know what I meant it." Rey hit Dave's chest.

"So, what's on the agenda for tomorrow?"

"I'm going to Mississippi." Rey said. "To help another person."

"Oh cool. With Josh?"

"No, Josh is staying here. Randy's parents are coming in town and Randy wants him to meet them."

"What are you going to do without your side kick?" Dave asked, jokingly, and then took a sip of his wine.

Rey laughed. "I don't know." Rey looked up at Dave. "Do you wanna come with me?"

Dave almost spat up his wine. "For real?"

"Yeah, it'll be fun. You can watch me in action."

"What about your customer?"

"I'll just tell him your feeling in for Josh. So, do you want to come?"

"Yeah…I'll go."


Rey looked out the window as Dave drove the duo North on I-55 from Jackson to Madison, Mississippi. They were well away from the large city of Jackson and now it really looked like the country. There were trees and greenery on both sides of the highway and everything was completely different from San Diego.

"It's like going to another country." Dave said and Rey agreed. Rey was about to speak but his phone rang. Rey pulled his phone out and looked at the ID.

"Oh it's Josh." Rey answered the phone and put Josh on speaker. "Hello Josh."

"Hey…am I on speaker?"

"Yes sir."

"Hey Dave. How are you doing in your new side job?" Josh said. "Has Rey been working you?" Josh put a little more emphasis on working and Dave and Rey picked up on the innuendo. Dave laughed and Rey blushed. "Anyway, are you guys almost there?"

"No, but according to the GPS." Rey looked at the GPS. "We'll be there in ten minutes."

"Good, I hope you guys have fun with the rich boy. I hope he's not snobby."

"Oh if he is, we'll be back tonight. You know I don't play that shit." Rey asked and Dave chuckled. Rey was such a ball of fire.

"Alright well I have to go." Josh said. "I'm going with Randy to pick up his parents. Have fun and Dave."

"Yeah." Dave said.

"You'll never replace me." Josh said and hung up. Rey started laughing. Oh, his friend was crazy.

Dave pulled into the circle drive way and admired the mansion as he parked. The pure white bricked mansion stood up among all of the greenery around it. There were acres and acres of free land around the home as there were no other houses around for miles.

"It really does pay to have a rich father." Dave stated.

"And a trust fund. Let's go." Rey and Dave got out of the car, taking his briefcase with him, and walked to up to the nice white door. Dave knocked five times on it. A few seconds later a young man with short brown hair and a nice build answered the door.

"Hi, I'm Rey Mysterio."

"Oh Hello. I'm Ted Dibiase." The younger man shook Rey's hand and then turned to Dave. "And you must be Josh."

"Actually, I'm Dave Bautista. I'm filling in for Rey."

"Oh, nice to meet you. Come on in." Ted stepped out of the way and Rey and Dave walked into the mansion.

Rey was in awe as it was just as big on the outside as it was on the inside. "Let's go to my office so we can talk in private." Ted said and led the couple to his office. Ted took his seat behind his desk and Rey and Dave sat at the front.

"So, what exactly can I help you with? You really didn't explain anything in the email you sent."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I just didn't know how to put it into words." Ted started. "I need your help in convincing Cody to date me and after that, I need your help convincing my dad that's OK for me to date Cody."

"OK." Rey said slowly. "Um, let's deal with one think at a time. Who is Cody?" Rey asked and Dave pulled out his IPad to take notes. He wouldn't remember any of this later.

"Cody is my personal chef. I can't cook worth a damn so when I moved out of my parents' house I hired Cody as my chef." Ted answered.

"And were you always attracted to Cody?" Rey asked.

"I guess I was but I didn't see much of him then. I was quite the party person back then but now I'm more settled, especially since I started working with the branch in Canada."

"So you started to notice him more and you started to feel something." Ted nodded. "Have you attempted to ask Cody out on a date?"

"Yes and I fail every time." Ted says. "He says he doesn't want to date me because I'm his boss and there's nothing I can do. I can't fire him because well he'll hate me even more. I just don't know what to do."

"Ok, lets move on to your father. Why wouldn't he potentially like Cody? Does he have a problem with you being gay?"

"No." Ted answered. "My dad just wants me to have kids and he knows there is a possibility that my partner could be a carrier so no that's not the problem."

"Then what is the potential problem?" Rey asked.

"Cody isn't rich." Ted says. "I know this is going to sound really superficial but my dad wants me to marry a guy in my own class. He doesn't want me to stray and especially with the…help as my dad calls them. I mean I pay Cody very well but he doesn't nearly have as much as I do. I don't know what to do. I really want to be with Cody and I love my dad. All my life, I have been having my cake and eating it too and on this situation, I don't know if I can. I feel like I'm either going to lose Cody or my dad. Can you help me?"

Rey looked at Dave before looking at Ted and smiling. "Of course I can."
