Chapter One - Making Your Mark

The Sandbox, 10am:

The DX household came home to a phone message from Mr. Applebee saying that Waterside would no longer need their financial assistance in restoring the school. Mr. Applebee had been contacted by a mysterious backer who wanted to fund Waterside and pay for the costs of reconstruction. The problem with this was the deal DX made with Mr. Applebee guaranteed that the ARK Angels would be able to return to the school after it had been restored if they put the money up for the re-building. Now Mr. Applebee no longer needed their money he didn't have to take the ARK Angels back. In short the summer was over and the ARK Angels had no school to return to. The family had just gotten back from Fiji and this was the last thing they needed to hear. Joanie, Amy, Shawn and Hunter were in the kitchen discussing the issue while the ARK Angels played upstairs.

"What I wanna know is who put up the money?" Hunter said as Joanie handed him a glass of tomato juice.

"Mr. Applebee wouldn't say," Shawn said running his fingers through his hair while Amy massaged his shoulders.

"Well whoever it was had to have a vested interest in Waterside," Chyna said as Hunter drank his tomato juice, seconds later the tomato juice was spurted all over the counter.

"What is this?" he said annoyed staring at the glass.

"Oh that's my strawberry smoothie," Amy said, "I think I threw out your tomato juice by mistake,"

"Great now I have to drink this crap," Hunter said, "everything's going wrong today,"

"I thought you liked strawberries?" Joanie said and Hunter remembered that he did.

"Oh yeah," he said and finished what was left of the juice while Joanie and Amy shook their heads at how dumb he was.

"I think you left half your brain in Fiji," Joanie said and Amy laughed expecting Shawn to chime in but the Heartbreak Kid didn't say anything, "What's up Shawnie?" Joanie asked her old friend whose face had gotten all serious.

"I think I know who put up the money for the re-building of Waterside," Shawn said rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"Who?" Hunter asked as Shawn went to get the phone and Amy, Joanie and Hunter followed him.

He picked it up, "Oh no," he said as he was about to dial, "I don't have her new number,"

"Whose new number?" Hunter asked as Shawn ran up the stairs to Cameron's bedroom.

"Yo Cam," he said knocking on his son's bedroom door, "come out here a second I need to talk to you,"

"Um dad I'm kinda busy can you come back later?" Cameron said.

"No son I can't this is important," Shawn said.

"Hey that tickles!" LC said and Shawn looked at Hunter whose face went white at the sound of his daughter's voice in Cameron's room.

"LC what are you doing in there with Cameron?" Hunter demanded.

"Nothing that people haven't been doing for years," LC replied and Joanie gasped covering her mouth and Hunter shoved Shawn out of the way and kicked Cameron's door open. What he saw when he stormed in was Cheyenne drawing on LC's back and Shawn and Amy noticed that she had GPS written on her arm in big black letters and Cameron had the word 'amazing' written on his stomach in black pen.

"Hey you're supposed to knock before you come in here," LC said annoyed and Hunter calmed down.

"I'm sorry sweetie I thought you were um . . . doing stuff you shouldn't be doing at your age," Hunter said as Cameron got up and inspected his door.

"I want this footprint gone before you leave the house tonight," he told Hunter firmly and LC nodded glad that her boyfriend had put her father in his place.

"Still why are you guys drawing on each other?" Joanie asked coming over to the ARK Angels to inspect their art work.

"We're leaving our mark like Aunt Amy and Uncle Shawn," LC replied and Shawn and Amy frowned at each other.

"You mean our tattoos?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah, Cheyenne said since dad doesn't have one of her she'd give one to herself and then she decided to give one to LC and me," Cameron explained.

"Well that's cute guys but tattoos are not for kids," Amy said, "they usually have a meaning and a story to tell,"

"These tattoos tell stories - Cameron's amazing, Cheyenne is GPS and I'm the ARK," LC said showing off her back and their parents tried not to laugh at funny looking ark Cheyenne had drawn on LC's back.

"You guys have been drawing your own tats all morning?" Hunter asked and the ARK Angels nodded.

"Usually we'd be in school now," Cameron said.

"Not that we're complaining," LC added quickly.

"I am," Cameron said and Shawn knelt down to him.

"Well maybe we can fix that kids, I just need Aunt Steph's new phone number," Shawn said and Hunter frowned.

"How come you wanna call Steph?" he asked Shawn.

"I just wanna ask her something," Shawn replied.

"It's in LC's cell phone," Cameron replied and LC threw her phone at Shawn who scrolled the address book to find Stephanie Jericho's number.

"Hello?" Stephanie answered.

"Hey Steph its Shawn," HBK said and Stephanie put her hand over the receiver and looked over her shoulder at her sleeping husband.

"Shawn why are you calling me?" Stephanie asked getting out of the bed and leaving the room.

"What I can't call you?" Shawn asked offended.

"No of course you can call me," Stephanie said closing the bedroom door behind her, "Its just that Chris and I got into a fight over me going to Fiji for Trish and Randy's wedding and I don't want to get into it again this morning,"

Shawn shook his head indicating to Hunter, Joanie and Amy that Jericho was giving Stephanie a hard time, "Okay I'll be quick then. What's your father been up to lately?"

"Actually he was telling Shane and me that he was about to invest in education, something about him wanting to give back to the community. Why do you ask?" Stephanie said.

"Did he mention where he might be thinking about investing?" Shawn asked.

"No, but my guess is it will be somewhere in Connecticut since that's where Shane and I went to school," Stephanie said, "What's wrong, you scared you're going to bump into him?"

"You mean he's in Connecticut?" Shawn asked.

"Actually he and mom moved to Florida and things have been quiet since they left the wrestling business," Stephanie replied, "Is that why you're calling?"

"Yeah I'll leave you alone now, thanks Steph," Shawn said.

"Okay Shawn," Stephanie said and hung up the phone.

Shawn turned to Hunter whose face had more questions than his mouth asked, "So you think Vince bailed out Waterside?" he asked.

"It makes sense it's the school where Shane and Stephanie went. Mr. Applebee must have contacted him and told him that the school was destroyed," Shawn said.

"So he's here in Connecticut?" Hunter said nervously but Shawn shook his head.

"He and Linda moved to Florida, he probably made the business transaction over the phone," Shawn said and Hunter gave a deep sigh of relief. The very mention of the name Vince McMahon sent shivers down Hunter's spine.

"Do you think Mr. Applebee will take us back?" Cheyenne asked her father.

"No way, we're gonna have to look for another school for you guys," Shawn said, "We'll start looking today,"

"Yeah new school, new adventures, new excitement!" Cameron said and LC rolled her eyes at his enthusiasm.

"I don't see why we can't stay on the road with you guys," LC complained.

"Well you might have to until we enroll you in a new school," Hunter said and that brought a smile to LC's face, "Maybe then Cheyenne could learn how to draw a decent ark,"

"You don't like my ark Uncle Hunter?" Cheyenne said her eyes swelling up in disappointment.

"No it looks like a barn," Hunter replied.

"Cheyenne I'm the ARK not the BARN," LC complained trying to see her back in the mirror and Cheyenne threw her pen on the floor.

"That's it I'm going back to school," she said determined to be a better artist.

"What do you think Ro-Ro?" LC said showing off her tattoo to her baby sister who was in her bassinette.

Ro-Ro flicked her rattle at the tattoo and it started to move, "Wow look at that," Hunter said impressed then the sound of a cow mooing came out of nowhere and LC turned her nose up.

"It really is a barn, I'm taking a bath," LC said leaving the room taking her moving tattoo with her.

"Wow wouldn't it be cool if tattoos could come alive like that all the time?" Hunter said.

"You don't want my tattoo to come alive it would bite your head off," Amy said covering up her green meanie.

"Or mine I'm sure this sword is pretty sharp," HBK said looking at his tattoo and LC's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Hunter said answering the phone.

"Hi Hunter it's me," Stephanie Jericho said.

"Steph hey what's up?" Hunter said and Shawn, Amy and Joanie looked up surprised that Stephanie had called back.

"I just wanted to apologize to Shawn and to all of you guys. I don't want you not to call me, in fact I wish I could hang around with you guys like we used to before things got complicated," Stephanie said.

"You mean before we got divorced or before you got remarried?" Hunter asked and Stephanie gave a deep sigh.

"I don't know all I know is that I want you to call me anytime you want whenever you want," Stephanie said.

"Just me or everybody?" Hunter asked playfully and Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"Knock it off Assman," Stephanie said and Jericho poked his head through the bedroom door.

"Who are you talking to?" he asked her.

"Nobody," Stephanie said and she hung up abruptly taking Hunter by surprise.

"Is she okay?" Joanie asked Hunter.

"She said she wants us to call more often," Hunter replied.

"I like the sound of that," Shawn said, "In fact I think we should make our presence felt in that house as often as possible,"

"Yeah good idea, I don't want Stephanie to feel like we're intimidated by her crazy husband," Hunter said.

"Just don't over-do it you guys, I know you have a habit of getting carried away when you want to make a point," Joanie said.

"Us, get carried away? Never," Hunter said taking Aurora out of her bassinette while Cameron and Cheyenne decided to erase their first tattoos and most likely their last.

Later that afternoon Hunter and Shawn had called the top four of the schools in the Greenwich area that the ARK Angels could go to but they were completely full and weren't taking on anymore children. The only ones they could enroll in were two counties away and on the drive there and back DX decided that they certainly weren't worth the visit.

"That school was filthy and the Headmaster was a little too laid back for my liking," Shawn said.

"You'd think with all the money spent on all those fancy computers the school could afford someone to clean up all the crap on the floor," Hunter said.

"What are we gonna do, should we pay for private tuition?" Shawn asked Amy who shook her head.

"I think our children would do better in a school environment," Amy replied and Shawn agreed.

"Well we better do something or they're going to fall behind," Hunter said and the house phone rang.

"Hello?" Shawn said answering it.

"This is Mr. Applebee," came a stern and very familiar voice.

"Mr. Applebee how can I help you?" Shawn asked waving Hunter over to the phone.

"Do you still wish for your children to attend Waterside?" Mr. Applebee asked.

"Yes I do but I was told that wouldn't be possible," Shawn replied.

"Well it turns out that the benefactor that has kindly paid for the reconstruction of Waterside is quite a wrestling fan and when he found out that your children went here he wanted them back immediately," Mr. Applebee said and Shawn furrowed his brow in surprise.

"He did?" Shawn said.

"Yes Mr. Michaels he did. Cheyenne, Cameron and LC are all welcome back at Waterside as soon as reconstruction is complete," Mr. Applebee said.

"Thank you Mr. Applebee," Shawn said.

"Believe me the pleasure is not mine," Mr. Applebee said disdainfully and hung up on HBK who stared into the receiver thinking Mr. Applebee wasn't happy about his decision being overruled.

"What did he say?" Hunter asked Shawn.

"He said the kids can come back to school after reconstruction," Shawn said and Hunter wiped imaginary sweat from his brow.

"Phew!" he said, "Well that saves us from the headache of finding another school,"

"I think we should still look," Shawn said as Hunter told Joanie and Amy that the ARK Angels were going back to Waterside.

"Why do you say that?" Hunter said.

"Mr. Applebee said the benefactor wanted the kids to come back," Shawn said and Hunter's face went pale.

"You mean Vince wants our kids to go to Waterside?" he asked and Shawn shook his head.

"I think he's up to something Hunter and quite frankly I don't want our kids anywhere near him or his money," Shawn said and Hunter nodded his head.

"Wait guys don't panic," Amy said, "Do you think it's possible that he's trying to make amends for the Hell he put you guys through earlier this year?"

"No," Hunter said, "but I do think it's possible that Vincent Kennedy McMahon is up to something and that something ain't good,"

To DX it sounded like Vince McMahon wanted to leave his mark on their children's education and that was worse than the tattoo Cheyenne drew on LC's back; at least it was water soluble. It appeared that DX couldn't get rid of Vince McMahon that easily.
