More Notes: This is sort of a prologue to the other stories. There's two separate parts... one for the women, and one for the men; then what actually happened on Valentine's Day in the four stories.
Love is in the Air... For Some
Stephanie walked into the ladies locker room and rolled her eyes as giggles filled the place. She rubbed her swollen, seven month pregnant stomach and sighed.
Valentine's Day is near, three days to be exact... and all the divas were getting giddy over it. Some were already getting gifts from friends and loved ones. She, herself has even received some from her friends and family as well. The only problem with the gifts was, that Stephanie hates Valentine's Day.
Why? Stephanie had no idea.
She walked to the back of the locker room to find Molly, Jacqueline, and Lita all sitting on a bench laughing. "I hate Valentine's Day," Stephanie muttered as she sat down.
"We know," Jacqueline said. "I, personally, love it... though I never really had a good one with Bradshaw. This year I'm hoping will be different. After everything we went though, we deserved it."
The others nodded in understanding. Now that Bradshaw is out of the hospital and walking around, they all hoped everything went good for the two.
Lita smiled to herself as she remembered past Valentine's Day. Every year Matt would out do himself. She was lucky to have him in her life. "I can't wait to see what Matt does this year!" she squealed.
Jacqueline and Stephanie shared an annoyed look as Molly rolled her eyes. The three didn't understand how Matt, Jeff, Jericho, and Bradshaw could be friends... and Matt is the only one out of the four to actually do something good every year.
"Let's see," Molly said as she bit her lip in concentration, "last year, it was the surprise trip to New York with a horse carriage ride in Central Park, wine and dine at an expensive restaurant, then making love all night long in an luxuriously, classy hotel suite— in which one room in it equaled the size of this locker room."
Stephanie chuckled. "No, that was the year before. Last year was the house... Matt had a house built for Lita with everything that she wanted and desired, and to christen it they had a small, intimate dinner, danced to their favorite love songs, then made love in all the rooms of the house— which is why still to this very day, I never stay the night."
"Hmm," Jacqueline mumbled, "actually, I think the house was two years ago. Last year was the dog and carnival. Matt brought the local carnival out for the whole evening, they rode every ride twice and played every game there; afterward they went home and he surprised her with a small Scotty dog, Chancy, to keep Cody company... then they spent the whole night making love— if it was at the carnival or at their house, we will never know."
The girls laughed as Lita threw her dirty ring clothes at them. "Ha, ha... you all are just jealous. I got a perfect man went it comes to Valentine's Day."
Molly shook her head in agreement. "Sadly, I agree. I think I might have chosen the wrong brother. Jeff has forgotten Valentine's Day for the past two years. So I guess I don't really expect this year to be different. It's like any other day."
The girls went on and on with what they wanted to happen, and what they knew was going to happen until it was time for the show to start.
Cupid is an Ass.... and Other Valentine's Day Thoughts
Bradshaw sat on the couch of the Hardys' and Jericho's private locker room. After begging Jacqueline, she let him tag along. He decided to rest the locker room, when Jacqueline went off to find the girls.
He suspected it had something to do with the upcoming holiday. "Cupid's an ass," Bradshaw mumbled under his breath. Usually, he could care less about Valentine's Day, but after what happened on Christmas; he decided to go all out for her.
The opening of the locker room door disrupted his thoughts. He looked to the door to see Matt, Jericho, and a sluggish Jeff coming in.
"You feel okay?" Jericho asked as he dropped some things on the floor.
Bradshaw nodded his head slowly. "Yeah, I was just thinking about Valentine's Day."
Jeff groaned and hit his head. "I completely forgot! When is it?" He looked at the three men anxiously. Throwing his things into an empty locker he settled onto the couch next to the injured wrestler.
Matt ad Jericho rolled their eyes as Bradshaw let out a laugh.
"Three days Jeff," Matt answered. "You have three days to actually come up with something and not... disappoint Molly. You guys are engaged. Do something nice for her."
"I'll try to remember," Jeff said honestly.
Jericho chuckled. "That's better than me... every year I get Stephanie something and every year she acts like Scrooge."
"Dude," Jeff said with confusion on his face. "Isn't Scrooge with the Christmas holiday?"
Walking behind him, Matt slapped the back of his head. "She acts like Scrooge, not is him..."
Jeff rubbed his head and whined. "Don't get her anything," he recommended to Jericho.
"Can't," Jericho continued as he put on his ring gear for the show that night, "I try, but then I see something that she would love and then I get it for her."
Bradshaw and Matt made a sound that reminded Jericho of someone who cracked a whip.
Jericho looked at the two and shook his head no. "Whatever, I'm not Matt... every girl's dream on Valentine's Day. Always making the rest of us look bad..."
Matt flashed the three a grin and shrugged his shoulder. "I try my best."
"I don't know what to do for Molly," Jeff said with a frown. He crossed his arms over his chest.
Bradshaw, Jericho, and Matt shouted off suggestions as they got ready for the show ahead.
