Handing Shawn a plate of curry, Mama sneered at him and hurried back into the kitchen.

As you can guess, the Heartbreak Kid was the final person to get their meal. Looking at the miniscule portion on his plate, Shawn shrugged to himself, grateful that he was at least getting a little something to eat.

"How's it going, Edgey-poo?" Hunter mocked, shovelling the warm food into his mouth as if there was no tomorrow.

"Fuck you!" Edge snarled, continuing to pick about between the fiery sauce, trying to only eat some of the plain rice.

"I think your Mom's a wonderful cook!" the Cerebral Assassin continued to praise, peering over at a gobbling Shelton "This curry's perfect! Nice and spicy!"

"Yeah, just the way I like 'em!" HBK joined in.

Slamming his plate down on the nearest table, Edge rose to his feet abruptly. Tearing his hair out from the roots, his eyes became possessed. "These past few days have been nothing but torture, nothing but torture!" he persisted in yanking at his blonde locks. "First of all, I have to stay in a mangy house, surrounded by some of the most stupid, pathetic people I've ever met in my life!"

"Oh come on," Hunter interrupted "Orton's not that stupid or pathetic!"

"Ha ha Mr Funny Guy!" Edge continued his insane rant. "Secondly, my phone has no signal so, even if I wanted more entertainment I couldn't get any! Thirdly, I get so desperate that I shag a middle aged fatty who I could easily have drowned under! The same obese bitch cooks me a food that I can't stand! URGH I HATE THIS!" Edge screamed, unaware of who came out of the kitchen...

"Ummm, is everything ok?" Mrs Benjamin spoke, her eyes downcast.

"Yes. Thank you, Mama." Shelton responded, getting up to kiss his Mum on the cheek. "I'll take my plate out." he replied, as if he was still at home in South Carolina.


Following her son back into the kitchen, the entire living room looked at Edge in shock. Carlito - who was still pissed - started to laugh directly at a less than amused Edge. Randy, on the other hand, was collapsed on the couch once again, dropping the hardly touched curry on the floor.

"Urgh, I don't feel so good!" he moaned, tightening the grip on his stomach.

"Serves you right!" Hunter unsympathetically replied. "That's what happens when you drink yourself silly."

"Car...Carlito drinks himself pretty! Now, dat's cool!" the serial apple eater piped up.

Shelton returned to the living room, daylight beginning to commence. His Mama slowly but surely followed behind him.

"Ummm, can I get anyone a drink?" she muttered.

"GIN!" Carlito yelped, springing to his feet.

"I think you've had too much anyway my dear!" Mrs Benjamin smiled lightly. "Hot chocolate?"

Many of the wrestlers nodded in thanks, including Edge. Watching helplessly as Mama went back into the kitchen, Triple H felt guilt wash over him. Taking Shelton to the other side of the room, he asked whether his Mama was alright.

"She's a little hurt. She'll be ok." Shelton spoke, wondering back into the living room. Hunter, rubbing a hand over his stubbly chin, made his way into the dining area to make things right again...well, in his own fashion!

"Mrs Benjamin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for things to get so far out of hand." he sincerely apologised.

"It's ok. Looks like I should have listened to my son, huh?"

"Yeah. He's a bright kid. Say, ummm, if you want I'm sure we could have a little fun with Edge, you know, to even the odds..."

"No, ha, thanks Hunter but, I don't wanna cause a fuss." Mama grinned gingerly, turning her attentions back to the boiling water in the stove.

Triple H, with a mischievous gleam in his hazel eyes ignored Mama's pleads. "Do you want me to sort the milk and coca out?"

"If you wouldn't mind." she mumbled, "Everyone wants one except for you, Randy, Carlito and...Shawn." she sorrowfully said on the mention of the Heartbreak Kid.

"Sure."

Taking a peek in Mama's satchel, Hunter shuffled around a bit.

"You don't mind if I go and use the ladies, do you?"

"No I don't." Hunter stopped in his tracks, waiting for Mama to leave for a few moments before continuing.


Elsewhere, Shawn and Kurt decided it would be a good time to inspect the snow situation...

"My gosh, look, we won't be able to get out of the door!" Shawn gasped, peering through the letter box.

Jabbing a finger through the hole, Kurt mimicked Shawn's comment. "Man, it's so thick!"

"We could be here for days...weeks...months...years!" the Showstoppa' cried, falling to his knees dramatically.

"Well, you'd better start praying to the big guy upstairs that we aren't because I swear if we are, not all of us will make it through!" Edge stood, his surly comments hitting the cold air.

"Coca!" Hunter yelled, bringing through a few cups at a time "Shelton, Kurt here you go...I'll get yours in a sec!" he gestured to Edge and Lita.

"Thank God that someone's doing something useful!" Lita mouthed to Edge, licking his tongue seductively.

Strolling back into the room with a little spring in his step, Hunter approached the love birds carefully. Handing them each their mug, he went and looked out of the window with Shawn and Kurt.

"This weather had better ease up...Steph will be wondering what's happened!"

"When is she coming back to work?" Kurt questioned, questioning the new parent.

"In a few months. We did want a couple of weeks away from the business - apart from Raw - just to get adjusted and we'll take it from there."

"How is baby Aurora anyway?" Shawn asked.

"As beautiful as ever." Hunter beamed at the mere mention of his first born.

Turning to face the living quarters, Shawn spied Randy on the sofa again. "Do you think he's ok?"

"Just a bit drunk, that's all." Kurt replied in between sips of the warm beverage.

"He looks really pale that's all..."

"Not as pale as Edge will in a few minutes..." Hunter giggled to himself.

"What have you done?" Shawn inquired.

"Nothing." Hunter smirked evilly to himself, running a hand through his hair.

"Hunter." Shawn sternly spoke.

The King of Kings knew that he couldn't escape Shawn's questioning now he'd used 'the voice' as he referred to it as.

"Fine, I just spiked his drink a little that's all, nothing to serious."

Before Shawn and Kurt could ever ask what he'd put in the drink, suddenly, a chocking sound came from the living room. As the three men dashed back in to find out what was going on, Edge had a firm grasp around his throat, his face turning a nasty shade of red.

As he continued to try and catch his breath, Lita sat beside him on the floor where he lay.

"Isn't anyone gonna help me?" she pleaded, caressing his cheeks.

"Nope!" All of the other wrestlers replied, continuing with what they were doing.

But just what did Hunter put in Edge's drink?


Next time in 'Things That Go Bump In The Night!'...

How much longer will the gang be stuck there for? Do Edge and Hunter come to blows?
