The maginificent Chateau de Sainte-Meurice was situated 35 kilometres from Paris, a vast seventeenth century manse whose splendor was dramatically illuminated by scores of artfully placed spotlights. No less dramatic or magnificent were its surroundings. Great sculpted gardens lit this evening like a stage set. This was most appropriate, for the Chateau de Sainte-Meurice was indeed a stage on which the rich and powerful promenaded, making their skillfully timed entrances and exits, exchanging carefully scripted banter. The actors and the audience, however, were one and the same. All were there to impress each other; all knowingly played their roles within the artificial confines of an elaborate masque.

Although the evening's occassion was a gathering of UEF stars, whether they be faces or heels it didn't matter, the cast of characters didn't change much from party to party at the Chateau de Sainte-Meurice. The beautiful people of Paris and its environs were all there, tout le beau monde , or at least everyone who mattered. Clad in their finest evening wear, their tuxedoes or evening gowns, the women glittering with jewels normally sequestered in a safe or bank vault. They arrive in their sparkling, chauffered limos, Rolls Royces, or Benzes.

Across the drawbridge and up the front steps of the chateau, the walkway lined with hundreds of candles whose flames danced in the gentle evening breezes, came handsome men, with their stunningly beautiful wives or girlfriends.

Jacob (Prometheus) and his lovely wife, who just happens to be the new International Champion, Christina Angel along with their son are seen walking up the front steps of the chateau. Jacob and Brandon are wearing matching tuxedoes from Le Cor de Chasse. Brandon is even wearing a little bow tie. Like father, like son I guess. Christina is wearing a spectacular strapless black gown obtained at Dior. Around her neck is a simple choker of pearls whose understated elegance did not detract from her extraordinary beauty. Christina had been to many a function like this in her past, but had always felt like an observer rather than a participant. She was only known, because of the man she believe was her father. But that's another story. We'll get into that another time.

A few traces of makeup, deftly and subtly applied -- little more than eyeliner and lips gloss -- accentuated her natural beauty, her beautiful ocean blue eyes. Her wavy brown hair was pinned up, with just a few strands delibrately unrestrained emphasizing her lovely swan neck; the risqué through tastefully décolletage of her gown highlighted her magnificent breasts.

The trio were greeted by several people, all of whom seemed to know them in UEF. Yes, even Brandon has his own little fan club. Other young ladies came away from their dates just to talk with Brandon. They found the four year old love child of Donny (Scorp) and Christina to be absolutely charming and irresistible like his step - father.

Christina guided Jacob and Brandon across the crowded room, smiling and nodding to social acquaintances.

Christina: The story is that the chateau was built in the seventeenth century by one of Louis the Fourteenth's ministers. It was so grand that the king became jealous, had the minister arrested, stole his architect and landscaper and all the funiture, and then inspired by a fit of envy, started construction on Versailles, determined never to be outdone.

Jacob smiles and nods his head while Brandon seems to be fascinated by the surroundings.

Jacob: That's what I love about you, honey. You're so knowledgeable. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jory Johnson (ShadowDM) is a tall, imperious man with his dark eyes, and his dark hair. Jacob spotted him holding court in a corner of the book-lined library, a small crowd hanging on his every word. The hangers-on seemed dazzled by his cleverness, his every aperçu received with uproarious merriment. Accepting two flutes of champagne from a waiter and handing one to Christina, Jacob Angel took his darling wife's hand and kissed it gently.

Jacob: You look so beautiful tonight. You should be royalty.

Christina blushes and moves slowly to kiss her husband. As they kiss, it's almost as if time has stopped from the moment their lips touched until the time they were separated. Brandon stayed close to his step-father, but was still fascinated by the huge painting on the walls of the library.

Brandon: Dad, can I have some champagne?

Jacob: Champagne isn't for little boys to drink, son.

Brandon: I'm not little. I'm four.

Brandon does the book hand with the four fingers instead of five.

Christina and Jacob laugh. Their son looks so cute imitating Booker T from the World Wrestling Federation.

Jacob: You're growing up too fast. Let's get you something to drink in the next room.

Christina: I'll wait right here for you, my darlings.

Jacob and Christina kiss again. Then she bends forward slightly and gives her son a kiss on the cheek.

Brandon: Promise?

Christina: Cross my heart.

As the father and son walk together hand in hand, Christina drinks the rest of her champagne as she watches on. Her back is turned to the small crowd huddled in the corner of the library around Jory.

Jory excuses himself from the small crowd of adoring people who wanted to hear more about his UEF career since he won the Ultimate title shot at Soul Survivor. Jory had seen Christina with Jacob and Brandon earlier, but since she was alone at the moment, Jory takes this opportunity to speak with her. As he approaches Christina, he gets two flutes of champagne from a waiter and keeps walking.

Jory: Chrissy!

Christina turns around to see Jory smiling at her. He offers her champagne, and she accepts. Wanting to impress the new International champ, he thinks before he talks.

Jory: Bonsoir Chrissy.

Christina smiles at Jory's appearing to be quite impressed with his French.

Christina: Bonsoir, mon ami. Comment ça va?

Jory: ça va.. bien?

Christina chuckles a bit as Jory had a little trouble trying to answer the question of 'how are you?'

Christina: C'est bon. Excellent! Tu es très beau ce soir, non?

Jory really has no clue what Christina is saying now, so rather than act like an idiot and ask 'what does that mean?' he agrees with what she says.

Jory: Oui,.. tu es.. sensational?

Christina: Merci beaucoup, mon ami. You have no clue what you've said, do you?

Jory starts to laughout of embarassment.

Jory: No. What exactly did I say?

Christina: You said I look sensational, but you sounded like you weren't sure if the word existed in French.

Jory: Yeah.. I pretty much guessed on everything.. sort of.

Christina smiles politely.

Christina: I'm glad we're alone. I just wanted to apologize for everything I did to you since my wedding day. Especially that heartbreaker. That nearly killed you.

Jory: Well, as long as you're apologizing.. I'm sorry about drugging you, dying your hair auburn again, tying you down on my bed, handcuffing you to my steering wheel, locking you in the house, and having those thugs do what they did.

Christina: You're forgiven.

Jory: Apology accepted.

Christina and Jory hug. Jacob and Brandon are seen re-entering the library, and ponder what's happening between Jory and Christina. Or at least Jacob is thinking that. As Jacob and Brandon get closer, Jacob clears his throat. Christina and Jory turn around to see her husband and son looking at them.

Jacob: Are we interrupting something?

Jory: Nah,.. Christina and I were just apologizing.

Christina: We're friends again. Hopefully, we'll stay that way this time.

Jory sees Brandon and immediately thinks of the past. They had been the best of friends since the day they met in the park back in Phoenix, Arizona.

Jory: Hey Brandon!

Brandon hides behind Christina. She sets her champagne flute on a table, and turns to pick Brandon up.

Christina: Sweetheart, you remember Jory.

Brandon: No.. he's scary.

Jacob: He's not scary, son. It's only Jory.

Jory looks a little sad now, but doesn't give up on trying to convince Christina's son about the past.

Jory: Come on Brandon.. We used to be best buds. Remember.. we used to play with your cars, and watch Pokémon!

Christina whispers something to Brandon. The boy's eyes light up. She puts her son down, and he runs over to Jory.

Brandon: Joey! Joey!

Jory picks up Brandon. It appears the two friends have been reunited at last. They hug.

Jory: Why do you keep calling me that? My name is Jory not Joey.

Christina and Jacob Angel start laughing.

Brandon: Mom, Joey's not being nice to me.

Jacob: Jor, leave the kid alone. He can call you whatever he wants.

Jory: But this has been going on since the day I met the little guy.

Christina just smiles, and squeezes her loving husband's hand.

Christina: Jory, he's saying your name right. It's just sounds more like "Joey," because he's used to calling you that. Now be nice.

Jory: Alright.. I'll be nice, and let him call me "Joey".

Jory looks at his watch, and smiles. There's something going on inside his brain. We just don't know what it is.

Jory: Let's all go to the front lobby. The best part of the party will take place there... It's a surprise for everyone in UEF.

***End of Chrissy's part (thanks Chrissy)***

(ShadowDM,Christina Angel,Jacob Angel, and Brandon walk into the front lobby where such UEF stars as Chris Hardy, Galuda, High Voltage, Criminal Darsis & so-on are partying and having a good time. DM seperates from Christina and heads towards a big podium that has a few microphone stands with microphones on them. Brandon complains to Jacob about having to go to the bathroom and Jacob relunctantly leaves Christina behind to take Brandon to the bathroom, allowing the Jackass himself Chris Hardy to walk up to Christina whos face brightens up as he approches her.)

Christina: Hey Mr. UEF Champ how are you!?

Hardy: I'm good Mrs. UEF International Champ. You look *hiccups* stunning tonight.

Christina: Why thank you Chris, you dont look too bad yourself *smiles*.

Hardy: *stumbles backwards and hiccups* If you dont mind me saying Christina *wraps an arm around Christina* you have a nice ass.

Christina: Uh, how much have you had to drink Chris?

Hardy: *has an empty expression on his face* Uh, about 2 or 3 *pauses* dozen cans of Fickweisers.

Christina: Wow Chris *pauses* never knew a man could drink that much.

Hardy: Me neither *burps* but I was thirsty and them Fickweisers are so good and *blinks* excuse me Chrissy I need to find a bathroom.

(Chris Hardy walks like a penguin to a fake tree in the lobby and unzips his pants. The people around him walk away quickly as he begins to "drain the lizard" so to speak. Christina just laughs and wonders off to the real bathrooms to find her son and husband. After Christina disappears out of sight the camera pans the room and stops on High Voltage. Last week at Soul Survivor he costed Assassin the International Title and eliminated him from the rumble crushing Assassin's dreams. Hes leaning against a wall drinking water and watching the party get off the hook. He just smiles and walks thru the crowd and into a room not occupied by anyone. In this room it shows painted pictures of all of the UEF superstars curtasy of the hotel. High Voltage walks up to one of the paintings and takes a sip of his water.)

High Voltage: *sighs* I've always hated people who try and ruin my success, my time in the spotlight, my chance to be at the top of the mountain, and right now your one of those people. Yea you think your smart and slick but you dont know a damn thing about me and my abilities and soon, yes soon, I will let you in on alittle secret. What secret would that be? Heh, your fate, and your fate is bowing to me in pain and giving me whats rightfully mine. In time people will know my true potential, and always remember the name of the Lightning Kid, because when I'm through with you, there wont be anyone in my way to the top. Cya at Protocol, and enjoy the party, it will be the last day of fun you'll ever have.

(High Voltage takes another sip of his water and slowly walks out of the room back towards the party. The camera turns from HV and walks over to a small group of people, the Smashmouth Crew. Criminal Darsis the United Kingdom Champion, is relaxing with one of the Smashmouth ladies Faith watching the party going on.)

Darsis: *sighs* Damn it wheres the violence in this?

Faith: Calm down Darsis, this is a party not a boxing match or UEF event.

Darsis: Yea, hmm, we need to spicen up this party alittle.

(Darsis looks around the room and spots UEF veteran and former Ultimate Champion Galuda mingling with EL J2K and Triple X.)

Darsis: Hmmm, Faith, go distract those men over there *points to Galuda and the others*.

Faith: Why Darsis?

Darsis: Because, they are gonna help me make this a party no one will forget.

(Faith looks at Darsis confused then walks over to Galuda,Triple X, and EL J2K.)

Faith: How are you guys tonight?

Galuda: Were doing good Faith how about yourself?

Faith: I'm doing good thanks *smiles*.

Triple X: Faith you are looking sexy tonight *winks at her*.

Faith: Uh...thanks.

(As Faith keeps them distracted the camera moves up to the balcany area where Darsis is dragging a huge bucket of water to the spot just above Galuda and the others. He lifts the bucket up onto the railing and begins to slowly tip it but stops when he hears the booming voice of one of the hotel workers speaking into a mic.)

Hotel Worker: *french accent* Hello? Is this thing working? Errr, hello everyone! And welcome to the Chateau de Sainte-Meurice, are you all having a good time?!

(Everyone cheers and claps.)

Hotel Worker: Good good, tonight is a celebration for all of the hard work all of you people have done for one of the most popular wrestling federations in the world, UEF. And let me just say I am a big fan of every single wrestler in this room, even Spite!

(Everyone laughs and Spite blushes and hides his face behind a fake tree leaf.)

Hotel Worker: Anyways, I'm up here to introduce the man who decided to throw this party for all of you. He is the man who won the Soul Survivor 2002 Rumble and is going to Wrestle World 2 to face the Ultimate Champion! ShadowDM!!

(Everyone in the room cheers and claps heavily as ShadowDM makes his way up to the stage and waves to all of his friends/co-workers. He pats the hotel worker on the back and takes the mic from him so he can speak.)

ShadowDM: WOOOO!!! WHATS UP!!

(Everyone says "WOOO!!" and cheers.)

ShadowDM: Oh man, I havent had this much fun since I kidnapped Christina! *laughs* anyways, I'm glad you all showed up for this kick ass party, I was in a celebratory mood and figured since everyone liked the rumble that we could all celebrate how awesome it was and drink a few Funkweisers!

Hardy: Amen to that brother! *guzzles a Funkweiser.*

ShadowDM: First I wanna congratulate the winners of Soul Survivor. First the leader of the Bomb Squad Duke for his win over Balathrustrius!

(Duke holds his beer can up as the Bomb Squad members cheer him.)

ShadowDM: Congrats Duke! Next person we have is Criminal Darsis who won the United Kingdom Championship in his match against Spite, congrats Darsis!

(The Smashmouth crew cheer Darsis whos up in the balcany trying to hide the water.)

ShadowDM: Congrats Darsis. Next person is Christina Angel who won the International Title in a match against myself and Assassin!

(Everyone cheers as Christina blushes and buries her face into Jacob's shoulder.)

ShadowDM: Nicely done Chrissy. Next up we have the winner of the match which would determine the new President of UEF. The winner of that match is Mr. Kidd Crash!

(Kidd Krash waves to all of his employees as some cheer and some jeer.)

ShadowDM: Congrats Mr. Prez, next we have Chris Hardy who beat Ice Cube to become 4 time UEF Ultimate Champion!

(Everyone cheers Hardy whos too intoxicated to realize whats going on and continues to talk to one of the fake trees.)

ShadowDM: uh....rrrright. Anyways, and the last and final winner, me for winning the rumble *smiles*.

(People once again clap and cheer for DM.)

ShadowDM: Alrighty then, with that i say Welcome and have fun!

(Just then Darsis "accidently" tips over the bucket of water causing the water to splash all over Galuda. Galuda looks at up Darsis whos laughing his ass off with a pissed off look on his face that could even scare the most dangerous men.)

Galuda: Damn it Darsis I'm going to kick your...

(Just then the lights in the building go off. Everyone starts to panic and find their way thru the dark to see if they kind get to a place with light. After a few minutes the lights come back on. DM looks around and notices Galuda and Darsis are missing. Just as he hops down off of the podium Christina lets out a spine tingling scream.)

Christina: BRANDON! WHERES BRANDON!?

(Christina goes into a panic and collapses in Jacob's arms. DM watches Christina then looks around wondering who would be stupid enough to do such a thing. The party just got interesting people, stay tuned for part two.)
