Gideon King pulls his car up to the front driveway, skidding to a stop. He is getting out of the car after only a second, running towards the door of his parents' house. He shoves through the front door and runs inside, looking around.
Gideon - Oliver! Mom! Where are you?
He checks the back rooms but no one is there. He checks the bathrooms and even the basement but he doesn't find anyone. Confused he gets back up the stairs and looks out the back window. That's where he sees Oliver and his mother working in the garden. He runs out to check on them.
Gideon - Mom! Why are you out here?
Mother - Because it's time to get the garden growing again. It's spring.
Oliver - That's a very stupid question to ask Gideon. You should have known better.
Gideon - But Oliver, you texted me that mom had collapsed!
Oliver - I did not. What are you talking about?
Gideon - I have the message on my phone right here!
Gideon pulls out his phone and shows it to Oliver and his mom. She looks confused.
Mother - No I am perfectly fine. I know I have been sick but I am feeling good today, good enough to garden. Why did you text that Oliver?
Oliver - I didn't.
Gideon - You see the text yourself right here.
Oliver - I think it was autocorrect. I texted that Mom was composting, not that she collapsed.
All three look over at a smelly container nearby, which is the secret and curse of their mother's gardening success. It had won her many awards by the local neighborhood association but it was very ripe.
Gideon - I thought I smelled your mulch.
Oliver - See that's what I was talking about. I was warning you about the smell when you came over.
Mother - That is funny. You must have really mistyped it Oliver to get it to collapsed instead of composted.
Oliver - I guess so.
Both of them laugh but Gideon does not find it amusing.
Gideon - I was supposed to be doing a promo today and then going to work with a special trainer to continue to get better at wrestling. Instead I drove all the way here.
Oliver - You could have just called me for more information, Gideon.
Gideon - I tried. You weren't answering!
Oliver pulls out his own phone, looking at it.
Oliver - Oh. I guess my battery died. It's turned off. I'll have to go charge it up.
Gideon is fuming at the miscommunication costing him wrestling time. But his mother comes over and gives him a hug.
Mother - Thank you for caring about me, Giddy. I do love you for dropping everything to come check on me. It is the sign of a good son.
Gideon - I always put family first, Mom. Even with Oliver.
Oliver - Sure you do.
Gideon - You get in an accident, I'll be there, Ollie, if only to tell you how you messed up.
They laugh again. The mother hands Gideon a shovel.
Mother - As long as you're here you can help with the mulching of the garden.
Gideon groans but agrees to help since it's the only exercise he'll be getting this afternoon.

Gideon is now standing in the back yard looking over the completed garden. It took a lot of hard work but he helped his family get it done. Gideon then starts talking to the camera.
Gideon - I am always willing to work hard to become a success. It paid off last time as I defeated John Blade and got my first singles victory in Smash. But I want more. That is why I am going to fight the Kracken and eliminate him from my path. When I get a winning streak going it will be unstoppable, because I will never want to let it go. I know Kracken will be hard to fight as he has experience in the ring but I am not going to back down. When I get the chance I will knock him to sleep and cause his Checkmate loss to be locked in.
Gideon steps over to the garden pulling up the shovel and spinning it in his hands.
Gideon - I have many skills in this world but the one I want most is to continue to become the best wrestler I can be. To do that I need more challenges and more competition and I think Kracken will be a great one for me to learn and adapt from. Once I am able to get the victory on him it will be time for me to begin to fight for championships again. I know the XDivision Title got away from me as I wasn't able to fight for it before but I will earn that chance to take down Clyde Newton and become the new champ. Beating Kracken will get me there so I will not let this one slip away from me.
The shovel is planted back in the ground hard sinking in.
Gideon - This is the future of the Kracken because when I am done with him, he might as well be six feet under. I will do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true. You are going to be the second in a row to fall to me Kazmerick. But you will not be the last. I swear this on my family's good name. The King will soon rule the WGWF because it is what is meant to be.
Gideon walks away from the shovel leaving it in the ground.
