BRANDON

Raw - Feb. 4 - Las Vegas, NV

"This is what Paul Heyman gave me at the Rollerball premiere, its about my title match at No Way Out." I said to Nicole. "I just hope you are prepared." She replied as I headed to the ramp.

------------------------------------------

Ice appeared on top of the ramp interrupting Chris Jericho " Listen up junior..." Ice said "...before I team with The Rock to kick yours and the Undertaker's asses tonight. I just thought I'd let you know that I have had a little stipulation added to our match at No Way Out, I went to Ric Flair and he said I can make any type of match I want..." Jericho interrupted Ice.

"Wait, Let me guess, It's a martial arts match right?..." Jericho said "...since I'm not a trained martial artist, so...." Ice interrupted Jericho "...That's not it."

"It's a street fight isn't it?" Jericho asked

"Nope, keep guessing." Ice replied.

"Ladder match"

"Nope"

"Submission match"

"Nope"

"Inferno Match"

"Nope"

"I got it, a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, right?"

"As tempting as that may sound, no, that's not it"

"Strap match"

"No"

"Last man standing"

"No"

"I've got it, it's so perfect, Hell In A Cell." Jericho said, the crowd popped. Ice shook his head. "As tempting as that may sound, no, it's not Hell In A Cell." Ice replied. "Then what kind of match is it?" Jericho asked, getting angry. Ice got a cocky grin on his face. "Jericho, as tempting as a Hell In A Cell match sounds, I've come up with something far worse..." Ice paused "...Jericho, at No Way Out, it will be you and me, IRON MAN MATCH." The crowd exploded in cheers as Jericho looked at Ice, stunned. Ice dropped his mic and left.

Draco Manor - Sacramento, CA - Feb. 13

Brandon pulled his big, black van up to the airport. Andrew and I were there with Dream and Matt and Jeff, Amy would arrive at later tonight. Melissa got in front with Brandon and the rest of us piled into the back, luckily it was a big van so there was a lot of room, although it smelled like vomit.

During the drive to the Manor, I noticed Brandon being unusually silent. Brandon and Melissa exchanged glances with each other. Brandon then reached into the cooler next to the seat and handed Melissa a Pepsi, he had Staind's "Fade" blasting over his radio. Andrew and I stayed close as Ashley, Diana and Holly chatted with Matt and Jeff.

We arrived at Draco Manor to find Eric sitting on the front porch in a porch swing, Holly got out and rushed straight to Eric, they started making out. "Eric what is the deal?" Brandon asked. "Since it's Sheridan's birthday, she wanted it to be just her and Jason, so here I am." Eric said. Brandon, Matt and Jeff then went to the van and pulled Sheridan's presents out and put them on the steps.

"Where to now?" Eric asked. "I know a place." Brandon said as he put the last of the presents on the steps and headed back to the van. Brandon and Melissa kissed as Brandon got back in the van and the rest of us piled in. Brandon drove his van out to the street.

Once we got on the road, Brandon spoke up. "Eric, when was the last time you saw your cousin Drozi?" I dunno, I think it was at my Dad's funeral. "Well, get ready to see him again, because we are going to California State University at Sacramento." Brandon said as he drove on to the freeway.

It took us 30 minutes to get to CSUS and another five minutes to find a certain house. Everyone got out of the van and waited. "Befor you go in, I think you guys should know that these guys are very wild, they drink liberally, and swear like sailors so watch out." Brandon said.

Melissa wrapped her arms around Brandon and kissed him, Holly and Eric did the same thing, so I took note and planted one on Andrew. "I think we can handle it." Diana said. Brandon shrugged his shoulders and went inside.
