Ace Wraps and Ice Bags

As the 19 year old blonde haired Misty Lynn Gunner, known better as Missy, began to pace around, her bouncy, short, and thin 18 year old counterpart, Liliana Faith King, walked in.

"Missy, guess what, they are bringing Thomas in. He needs ice." Liliana, or Lani as she was called, said to her best friend. Missy smiled and her face lit up. Missy knew though Thomas wouldn't notice her. She was overweight by over 50 pounds or so. Lani wasn't. She was the football manager.

"Thanks, Lani." Missy said as Lani winked and threw her brown hair with the red and blond streaks in it back into a ponytail. At that moment Thomas, Missy's longtime crush, walked in. He was tall with amazingly bright blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. Lani didn't think he was that cute, but then again she was a bit picky.

"Thomas, you are so dense, how could you trip like that?" Lani said as she grabbed her bag from the counter where she left it and pulled out her I-Pod. She turned it on, not waiting for his answer and sat down with her feet propped up. Meanwhile, Missy just worked on Thomas' swelled ankle.

"Thanks." He said as she finally put an ice bag on it and taped it to his ankle securely. She smiled and nodded and Lani could be heard mouthing lyrics to a song.

"Baby when the lights go out every single word can not express the love and tenderness." Lani said as she watched Thomas limp out. She raised an eyebrow and motioned for Missy to get her stuff. After Missy had grabbed her bag they hurried out the door.

"Great, he's gonna kill me, now, Missy, I can't believe this." Lani said as she placed her stuff in the back of her 1996 red Honda civic ex. Soon they were speeding along and heading to the training place.

"Damn it, Lani, why are you late again!?" Her main trainer yelled violently at her and she looked down. She hated training now but she wouldn't let it get to her. Missy was watching in sadness, until finally she saw a tear roll down Lani's cheek.

"Listen, Coach Warner, it wasn't her fault." Missy was saying when the look from Coach Warner said back down and she did.

"What in the blue hell is going on here?!" A deep southern voice shouted and everyone turned to look as the green eyes and rainbow colored head that belonged to Jeff Hardy appeared behind Coach Warner.

"Oh, my Jeff, I um, this young lady was late again and well—" Coach Warner began but Jeff took one look at Lani and shook his head.

"You though you'd chew her out? What the hell man? Warner, I'm going to have to ask you to pack your things and leave for good." Jeff said as he looked at the black shirt he was wearing and the black jeans and smiled. Coach Warner then huffed and within minutes he was gone. Missy was patting Lani on the back, but Lani shoved her away. She covered her face with her hands and sat down on the ground.

"I give up okay. I give up this stupid dream. I hate this. I can't handle this anymore." Lani said heavily and Jeff knelt down next to her. She felt the warmth and looked at him. He had the most stunning eyes up close. They were like little pieces of a jewel. She didn't know it but he thought her eyes were like a sunrise.

"How about you let me train you and Missy, Lani?" Jeff asked as they continued to hold each other's gaze.

"I think I'd like that very much." Lani said with a smile now gracing her face and Jeff smiled back. Missy walked over and patted her on the back.

"Let's go train girl." Missy said with a smile to her best friend of 17 years and her confidant.

…..Fast Forward….

"Wow, Lani, can you believe it? We are the only Woman's Tag Team Champions and we are Wrestlemania!" Missy squealed as she remembered back those few years ago. Missy was now thinner and her beauty had unfolded with the weight loss and she was dating James Storm currently.

"Well, duh, of course I believe it! I'm just happy that TNA merged with WWE you know?" Lani said as she bounced around the ring and smiled at her friend who nodded in agreement.

"I'm 24 and you are 23 and we are defending Championship Titles!" Missy was overcome with joy and happiness when a pair of hands wrapped around her waist and she smiled.

"Hey, baby, how you doing?" James asked his southern drawl exploding into her ear. She smiled. The only man to ever make her nervous was him. Now he made her feel loved and comfortable.

"I'm good, James. But I'm better now that you're here." Missy cooed back to him and leaned her head back for a kiss.

"Oh, get serious please! This is a wrestling ring, not a hotel room!" The deep southern voice of Missy and Lani's trainer, Jeff Hardy, made Lani smile over the two lovers' shoulders happily.

"Thank god you got here. I don't know what I would've done without you, Skittie." Lani said with a laugh and Jeff just smiled back widely and with a slight blush.

"Alright, come on Lily, you two as well, we have an autograph and picture thing with everyone in about ten minutes." Jeff said and Lani blushed greatly at his nickname for her. James and Missy nodded and followed Lani as she jumped out of the ring and ran up to Jeff.

"You are lucky that you are such a 'charismatic enigma', otherwise I'd hit you for that." Lani said as she walked ahead of him. Lani was wearing a green halter top and a very short black and white mini skirt and a pair of sneakers. Her brown hair had black streaks along with red and blond in it and was up in a ponytail. Missy was wearing a pair of jeans and a blue halter top and sneakers.

"If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home. The glamorous, the glamorous, the flossy flossy. I got problems up to here, people telling me things I don't wanna hear. My daddy told me so, he let his daughter know." Lani sang along with the music on her I-Pod she had pulled out and turned on. Suddenly, Lani felt a firm slap on her butt and yelped, jumping up and looked around to lock eyes with Jeff.

"What the hell was that for?" Lani asked as she held her butt and felt the stinging. Jeff shook his head. She walked over and grabbed his butt firmly and squeezed.

"Whoa, okay, what was that for?" Jeff asked as he rubbed his bottom in a little pain. Lani was powerful for her 5'3 stature.

"Come on, big man you think you can take me?" Lani asked as she walked faster to catch up to James and Missy and Jeff ran after her and walked alongside her.

"You'll see pretty lady." Jeff said to her and she blushed but Jeff didn't notice. He didn't even see it. Soon they were at the area where all the superstars were at. Vince McMahon, Dixie Carter, James Cornette, and Theodore Long all stood at the head of the group.

"Alright, we are about to open those doors, you all know you've been split up according to your storylines recently and such. So everyone get in your places, get your pens ready, and smile!" Vince's voice was like a mega phone, that's why he talked over the crowd. Everyone soon dispersed and moved around to tables. Jeff, Missy, Lani, and James made their way over to a table assigned to them and sat down. Lani was in the middle next to Jeff and Missy on the other side of her with James next to Missy. Suddenly a hand on Lani's thigh made her tense a little.

"Jeff, is that—" Lani began but Jeff looked at her and silenced her with his eyes. He was wearing a black shirt and black pants. James was in his cowboy hat and a white shirt and jeans and his cowboy boots.

'Still like jewels.' She thought to herself as he rubbed her thigh carefully with his hand and fingertips. Then the doors opened and she felt his hand go away, he looked at her and smiled.

"Gotcha." He said and Lani's face went emotionless. She couldn't flip out now. Missy had heard and pretty much saw everything. She looked at Lani's face and poked her.

"Smile, they are coming this way, Lani." Missy said and she did as she was told. She smiled and soon it was over and when they stood to walk away, Lani took off ahead of them.

"What's her problem?" Jeff asked and Missy glared at him. She looked at James and he nodded as she ran after Lani yelling her name.

"Lani! Lani! Liliana Faith King! Stop!" Missy yelled out and Lani stopped in her tracks and rubbed her arms while looking down at the ground. Missy soon was standing at her side.

"I don't wanna talk about it right now, okay. Let's just go get ready for this match." Lani said in a happier tone. She was doing it again. Hiding her pain underneath while hurting badly on the inside and smiling on the outside. But it made her all that more fierce and violent.

"Fine, come on let's go to the ladies' locker room." Missy said and they walked quickly to get ready. Soon they were inside and talking to the other Divas there and the two girls they were going to be fighting against as well. Jackie Williams and Leticia Cline were no threat to them at all. When they had finished getting dressed, Lani in a short frilled at the edges skirt and a cameo shirt that was cut off below the bra she had on with a pair of Ashley Massaro's boots and Missy in a pair of her signature pants with the MG initials on the sides and a cameo shirt like Lani's but not cut off with a pair of her wrestling boots.

"It's in our blood." Lani said as she sat down across from Missy and they held hands.

"It's in our DNA." Missy said after her and they both smiled.

"It's who we are." Lani continued after Missy then. This was something special they did right before each match.

"It's why we are." Missy said and Lani tightened her grip as she stared past Missy for a moment but relaxed.

"And now we're gonna show them why." Lani finished and Missy nodded and they did a special handshake that went with them giving each other a low high five with their right hands and a grip on each others hands and then they lowered their heads so their foreheads touched.

"Let's do this, girl." Missy said and she nodded. They grabbed their belts and waited at the curtain. Suddenly James came over and smiled. Someone was behind him.

"Hey, Missy, I want you to meet a friend of mine and the special referee, and new wrestler, for you and Lani's match." James then moved aside and there in all his glory stood, Thomas, Missy high school crush.

"Oh, boy. Um, hey Thomas, how you been?" Lani said and elbowed Missy in the stomach to make her shut her mouth.

"I've been great, Lani. Who's your partner?" Thomas asked and Missy continued to remain silent.

"Oh, you don't remember her?" Lani asked and Thomas shook his head. "That's Misty Lynn Gunner, the student trainer."

"Wow, you look great Missy." Thomas seemed sucked in a little bit by Missy but still something in his eyes whispered money.

"Yeah, of course she does, don't you baby?" James said happily and Missy finally snapped out of her trance and smiled at him.

"Of course." Missy simply said as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a kiss. That was when Jeff walked over, but Lani ignored him at once.

"Hey, Missy, Lani, I just wanted to wish you two good luck." Jeff said as he stood near Thomas and Missy looked at him and nodded. When Missy turned to look at Lani, she saw that Lani was looking away.

"Come on, girl, it's time." Miss said and Lani looked at her and nodded. Jackie and Leticia were already in the ring and waiting. The first Wrestlemania with a TNA, WWE, and ECW roster. They were making history tonight.

"So, so, so scandalous, you know you wanna sing with us baby, that's why you know you should be scared of us baby." Scandalous by Mis-Teeq blasted through the arena. It was time. The two girls stood at the entrance and walked out. Scandalous by Mis-Teeq rang through the arena as the two girls walked out as the fans erupted with cheers.

"Now entering the ring your Woman's World Tag Team Champions weighing in at a combined weight of 225 pounds from Cameron, North Carolina, Misty Lynnnn Gunnnnerrrrrr and her partner also from Cameron, North Carolina, Lani Kingggggggg!" Lillian Garcia yelled into her mic and smiled at the two girls. Going into the match Missy and Lani were the odds on favorite but with Jackie Williams in the match she's be the harder to take out. Leticia was by far nothing more then eye candy and everyone knew it. Misty Lynn looked over at her partner who noticed the confused look in her eyes.

Lani knew seeing Thomas again and knowing he'd be involved in the match was on her mind. As the two continued walking down the ramp they slapped hands with fans and smiled as they got to the ring they grinned as the reached the end of the walk way and both took a running dash to the ring sliding in coming to their knees then standing at once and doing their signature taunts.

Leticia and Jackie looked over at the champions seemingly unimpressed. The two teams then came face to face talking trash until unknown music caused both teams to break apart and look at the ramp. The fans erupted as they saw the Naval Academy football player turned youngest NFL super bowl winner.

As Thomas came down the ramp Missy couldn't take her eyes off the man walking towards her. It was like her past was hitting her in the face as the worst possible time. As Thomas entered the ring he looked at her still somewhat in shock at the changed Missy had made. She was now one of the, if not the most, attractive girls he'd ever laid eyes on. She'd never been unattractive just always the friends.

He the realized what he was there to do and brought the two teams to the center of the ring and explained what would and wouldn't go and took Missy and Lani's title belts. Missy and Lani decided who would start the match, and Lani was the one as Missy stepped onto the apron and looked at Thomas noticing he'd only gotten more muscular and had the same hair and eyes. She realized she wasn't pay attention to the match when Lani came to her and tagged her in.

Missy snapped out of it going straight for a close line on the very inexperienced Leticia. Missy grinned as she pulled the girl back to her feet and started throwing elbows until she felt a hard blow to the back. As she hit the mat with a thud she looked to see Jackie standing with a grin for a split second before Lani came off the top rope to deliver a devastating hurricaranna. Missy came to her feet as Leticia was reentering the ring with one of the title belts ready to hit Lani while Thomas was busy keeping her from completely destroying Jackie.

As Leticia raised the belt to nail Lani in the back Missy came out of no where and hit her with a corkscrew flip off the top rope. Jackie got away from Lani for a second and was headed for Missy. Missy rolled Leticia over to her back setting her up for the pin. At the last second she came up and hit Jackie with a spinning kick to the jaw. Lani at this point had climbed the roped and was ready to hit her signature finisher, the corkscrew moonsault. She landed it perfectly as Missy came over and both girls put one foot on Leticia. Thomas got in position and started the count.

His hand came down the first time, then the second time, then finally the third time. Thomas then rang the bell signaling a pin fall as the arena erupted as Missy and Lani hugged in the middle of the ring. The girls looked around and pointed at the fans and took a bow as Thomas walked over and were handed the title belts. He handed Lani hers then turned to Missy and handed her belt to her and smiled. Missy just looked at him as he raised the team's arms in victory.

This was only the beginning.

Alrighty, this story was only inspired because of a friend of mine and she is one of the main characters, Misty Lynn in the story, and I'm Lani, the reason why we wrote it is because my friend did like a guy and still does, but regardless we both thought it'd be a good storyline and so I wrote it, she wrote the match and this is what resulted. Hope you enjoy and review please!!

Much luv,
