Sean was in his locker room, not long having been calmed down by Butch and Michelle after his loss to Wolfy at Havoc. His was head tilted back, leaning on the locker behind him. Eyes shut, he frustratedly and lightly banged the back of his head against the metal lockers, creating a light echoing sound. Michelle walked over to Sean putting her hand on the back of his head.

(Michelle): Sean! Hey.....it's ok! You can't beat yourself up like this.

Outside the locker room there's the sound of a commotion. Michelle turned to look at the door but ignored it, focusing on Sean.

(Michelle): For what it's worth, I'm still really proud of you. I know Wolfy isn't your favorite, but you went out there and didn't let that get in your way of being professional. You should have seen the look on those kids' faces from the Boys and Girls Club. They didn't care about wins or losses, they were so thrilled we invited them, the light in their little faces...that's because of you.

She looked at him, hoping that her words were getting through to him a little. She wasn’t wrong, he thought.

(Sean): I know… it’s just Tobias and his low blow last week, Price’s music playing tonight…. I should be excited about facing Sensei but I just feel… ugh!

Sean let out a frustrated sigh, leaning forward and lowering his head solemnly. Michelle put her palms on both sides of his face turning his gaze towards hers.

(Michelle): You have to put everything else aside Sean, you can't worry about what Tobias says or whose music is playing, or what match you lost recently. You went out there tonight and told the world how much Sensei meant to you, and I know how much you meant that, and how little those words really exemplified what you truly feel. You owe it to him, and you owe it to yourself to focus on this and ignore everything else. It's his last match Sean, if you don't go into this 100% you'll never forgive yourself....you know you won't.

Sean let out another sigh. This one wasn’t filled with frustration though. Quite the opposite. Michelle always had a knack of steering him on the right course when the waters got choppy for him. He smiled.

(Sean): What did I do to deserve you, Michelle Learner?

She smiled at him lovingly.

(Michelle): God only knows, maybe the same thing I did to deserve you.

She pulled his face closer and gave him a peck on the lips.

(Sean): What if I disappoint him, Chelle? What if, after all these years of him training me, what if I stand across the ring from him and I freeze?

(Michelle): You won't freeze, and you won't hold back because you respect him too much to disappoint him in that way. Sean?

She paused looking at him with heartwarming sincerity.

(Michelle): You've had tons of matches, big matches, but this is the most important match of your career. When you walk down that aisle in one of your amazing entrances...

She smiled at him fondly recalling some of his big match entrances that she loves.

(Michelle): When your music hits, when you get to the ring I know the only thing you'll see is the two of you. Not the cameras or the fans, just you and Sensei and you'd never allow yourself to squander that moment. This time last year, you had surgery that may have waited some years just so you could be more than 100% for Ring Master...so I know how you'll be ready for this. Besides, do you really think Sensei is going to get in there and not demand your best? He won't allow anything less!

At that moment, Sean knew she was right. She was always right. And this was no different. Everything he’d worked towards for all these years, everything Sensei had taught him. It was all geared towards this. He smiled, holding her hand up to his mouth, kissing the top of it, burying his face affectionately into it.

(Sean): I really don’t know what I’d do without you, you know that? You always know what to say to bring everything back into perspective. Just when it looks like I'm about to hit a reef, you steer me out of troubled waters. And you’ll be there, won’t you? At ringside? Or on commentary?

(Michelle): You know I wouldn't miss it!

She looked at him with great affection, this match meant so much to Sean but it meant a lot to her and others as well who were carried under Sensei's wing. She then heard the commotion outside again.

(Michelle): You go ahead and get changed, I'm going to go see what all the fuss is about out here.

Michelle went to the door to see what all the commotion was as Sean headed to the shower and the scene faded to black.
