Trying to Work Out Their Problems

Arn, Chris, Dean, Perry, Shane, and Eddy all squeezed into one of the cars. Eddy, Shane, and Arn were in the front with Eddie driving. Chris just stared out the window. The car ride was almost silent on the way to the Double Cross Ranch. When they arrived Terry and Vicki Funk came out of the house to greet them.

"The guest rooms are all set up for you guys." Terry said. "Tommy and Terry are around here somewhere. Let me give you a tour." He said and showed them around the ranch.

Eddy kept looking at Chris as they walked. Chris's face showed no emotion at all and didn't say a word. His eyes were completely blank. He hoped whatever that drug was would wear off soon.

Chris was led to a room to lie down while Shane, Dean, Perry, and Eddy went outside to talk. Terry and Vicki let them be.

"So what are we going to do?" Perry asked as they sat down. Shane was sitting a little uncomfortably.

"Do what the doctor suggested. Leave him be and let it wear off. But if he won't eat we'll have to take him back." Dean said. "I want to strangle Raven."

"Me too." Shane said speaking up for the first time. "It's not the same Chris I've known for years." The others nodded and they sat thinking.

"What happened to us?" Eddy asked finally breaking the silence. "We've been friends for years and then it just came to a screeching halt."

"You guys all went to WWF without telling me." Shane reminded them. "IT was like our friendship didn't matter. I may not have wanted to go to WWF, but you could have at least told me!"

"And you went back to WCW." Perry shot back.

"Sullivan and Graham were gone! Bischoff was back. Eric may be an asshole but it was better then working for Vince." Shane practically yelled.

"Okay come on guys the Funk's and Texas do not need to hear this. And especially Chris doesn't need to hear this." Dean said trying to be the voice of reasoning. "Shane we're sorry for what happened in the past. Can we let bygones be bygones?"

Shane hesitated.

"Shane Dean's right. What was in the past should stay in the past." Eddy said. Perry grudgingly nodded.

"Okay. But for Chris." Was all he said.
