I own nothing of WWE. Chapter 1Friday Night Smackdown was held in Milwaukee Wisconsin that night. Candice Michelle had arrived and she was scheduled to appear in a mixed tag-team match with the animal Batista to take on they're rivals Edge and Melina. Candice wandered down the halls of the lockeroom and until she found the door she was looking for, 'BATISTA'. She knocked on the door and got a reply, so she went inside.
"Hey Dave," Candice greeted, " Hey Candice, ready for our match?" Dave replied
"As ready as I can be, I guess" " I've been watching RAW and you've been improving, you're match at One Night Stand with Melina was … entertaining to say the least, haha." " Yeah it was fun, I heard that you and Melina were a couple at one point though, what happened?" Dave shifted uncomfortably," She-ahh she cheated on me, but its all over now so," Candice sighed " Ahh, she destroyed your relationship too." "Whats that suppose to mean?" Dave asked. Candice realised what she just said " Oh nothing, don't worry, so the match huh," " Candice, don't change the subject, what did Melina do?" Candice didn't like to talk about it, but she brought it up. " Well one month ago I was engaged to this really amazing guy, Aaron, you've met him haven't you Dave?" "Oh yeah, once, you brought him to the club with you last month, I remember him. What happened?" "Yeah, well we were so in love and happy and we were getting married in two months. Melina was never really an issue, I never really liked her and she never liked me so we stayed away from each other. Aaron looked like he hated her so I really had nothing to worry about." Candice continued " Well later that night in the club, Aaron said he was tired and wanted to go home, but I was having so much fun I told him I'd meet him later. He wanted me to go with him because he thought I was flirting with every guy in the club, we had a little argument and he went off. About 3 am in the morning I got back to the hotel and something felt wrong I had no idea what it was but it just felt wrong. I heard sounds I didn't think I wanted to hear, I walked into my room and there he was on top of Melina, both completely naked. As soon as I saw that I ran I didn't know where I was going but I ran. After that I stayed with Maria and John. They got my stuff back from Aaron for me and the wedding was off. Ever since that night I'm determined to prove that I'm not just a pretty face and that I can beat Melina with a little revenge." Dave stood there in shock, he never really knew Candice mostly because they were on different brands, but they did have something in common, Melina was the cause of why they were both lonely. " Candice, I'm sorry I had no idea." " Its fine Dave it wasn't you're fault," "You guys have to go," Said a crewman interrupting their discussion, "Ready to kick some ass?" Dave asked, " Lets show them why they call you 'the animal' " Candice replied on her way out. Dave stopped; he had this funny feeling inside, was it now that he realised just how gorgeous Candice Michelle really was.
Smackdown had returned from commercial, and had started off with Batista's entrance. " The following contest is a mixed tag-team match scheduled for a one-fall introducing first, from Washing D.C, weighing in at 290 pounds, Batista!" said the ring announcer Justin Roberts. As soon as his name was mentioned his fireworks finished making a statement. As Dave did his poses in the ring, he waited for his partner to join him. As soon as Candice's music, Dave shot his eyes her way. " Introducing his tag-team partner Milwaukee Wisconsin's own…" The crowd was hyped up; they loved it when someone from their hometown competed, male or female "Candice Michelle!" After finishing her pose from the side of the ring she just enjoyed her music hyping up the crowd to cheer. Dave just couldn't take his eyes off her, she just so beautiful, he thought. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his rival's song; Edge. "And introducing their opponents first from Toronto Canada, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge!" Dave cringed at the thought of Edge being champion, he might have escaped twice but the third time is always the charm, Dave thought. Edge decided to not get in the ring he knew how crazy Dave Batista could get. Then Paparazzi was played that could only mean one diva, Melina, as soon as her music hit Candice had stared down as she made her entrance. " And introducing his tag-team partner from Los Angeles California, she is the WWE Women's Champion, Melina". Melina strutted her way down to the ring and stared at both Dave but mostly Candice.
As soon as Edge and Melina got in the ring the ref had started explaining the rules for the match. Candice hated Melina with such passion and with Melina it was vice versa. AS the too divas stared at each other they couldn't help it, Melina had slapped Candice, and to retaliate from that Candice speared Melina to the ground. The two girls were punching, slapping and pulling hair, Dave had pulled Candice off Melina and Edge was holding Melina back. Dave had told Candice that the boys should start the match as stubborn as Candice was, she agreed, the bell rang and the match was underway. Midway though the match Candice just couldn't wait anymore, she wanted in on the match. Dave agreed and tagged her. She got in the ring and invited Melina in, Melina hesitantly got in the ring the two were talking, no more like insulting each other, when Candice just slapped her. Candice felt really good after that like all the anger she had been holding in she just let out by that slap, 'Man that felt good' Candice thought. Melina and Candice wrestled for another few minutes when Melina had leg dropped Candice only for a two count, Melina tagged Edge but Candice was unaware, Dave had wanted to get in the ring really badly to save her but the ref had stopped him. Candice was getting up slowly until she turned around and saw Edge, she tripped back down as Edge grabbed her leg she kicked him in the face and tagged in Dave. Dave was angry so he just speared Edge, hard. Minutes continuing the match Dave had wanted to try a move from the top rope, as he got up he felt someone tugging his leg trying to stop him he look down to see Melina. Candice had speared Melina off as the two divas battled outside the ring. Edge had grabbed the robes causing Dave to loose balance and to land where no man ever wants to be. Dave had fallen off the ropes into the ring where Edge had hungrily set up for a spear, Dave had turned around and had just missed the spear causing Edge to hit his head on the turnbuckle. Knocking him out a little, it was Dave's turn now he set up for his spear. As he ran towards Edge, Melina ran in front of him, from behind her he saw Edge running towards him, he pushed Melina out of the way and spinebusted Edge perfectly. This was the moment people had waited for Batista was unleashed, Candice was ringside in her corner watching on she was impressed, 'damn that's hot' Candice thought. Suddenly she saw Melina again trying to interfere so she speared her out of the ring leaving the end of the match up to Dave. Dave had set Edge up for the Batista Bomb and nailed it, 1…2…3! Dave and Candice had won the match, Candice got back in the ring for there celebration, after the ref held the hands in victory, Dave went to hug Candice thanking her and she responded by hugging him back. As they pulled away they both looked into each other's eyes, they both felt this tingly feeling inside, for a second she thought Dave was leaning in to kiss her. But she pulled away ignoring him and pointing to Melina that she would be the new Women's Champ soon, and Dave was doing the same to Edge about the World Heavyweight title. Candice and Dave got out of the ring, and shrugged off any feelings or thoughts they both had for each other, as they walked backstage.
