"Five minutes to live. First team to studio," Kim's voice rang over the PA system.

Dan and Casey sat in their office, doing what all good sports anchors should do five minutes before their show.

Playing garbage can basketball.

"Score!" Casey yelled out as his wad of paper went in.

"Lucky shot," Dan said, standing up, and grabbing his suit jacket.

They walked through the office and into the studio, bantering about nothing in particular.

As Allyson got their make up ready, Dan laughed.

"It's good to be alive!" He yelled out, causing everyone in the studio to stop for a second.

"I'd say so," Natalie said over the PA.

Everyone cheered, agreeing with the statement.

"VTR rolling, One minute to live," Kim said over the PA.

"You guys are all set. Good show!" Allyson said, as she gathered her supplies.

"Thank you Allyson," Casey said as she left.

Dan shuffled his script, doing last second checks, then stacked it and looked at the camera.

"In three, two one.."

"Good evening. From New York city, I'm Dan Rydell, alongside Casey McCall. Those stories plus, We'll show you four people squaring off in Houston. We'll give you more information on the upcoming trade deals than you can shake a stick at. It's good to be alive, and we hope you think so too. You're watching Sports Night on CSC so stick around!"

"We're off," Kim said.

Natalie watched everyone in the control room, then got up slowly.

"I need to leave for a second," She said quietly as she ran out into the studio.

"Good show, good people," Casey said, then stopped as Natalie bolted from the control room, then into the hallway.

Dan looked worriedly after her, then got up and chased her.
