Chapter One – Making Friends with your Enemies
The Sandbox, 7pm:
The Great American Bash was a great success, John Cena had retained his WWE Championship and tonight on RAW there was going to be a Number 1 Contender's Match for SummerSlam between Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin. DX were looking forward to it but their enthusiasm was cut short when Shawn received a call from Amy asking him to come home. Hunter wanted to go as-well but Shawn convinced him to stay and run the show. Once he arrived Shawn found his wife and asked to see the children right away.
"They're upstairs," Amy said and Shawn took a deep breath.
"Let's go talk to them," he said holding his wife's hand and together they headed for Cameron's bedroom, the room where the ARK Angels usually congregated the most when something was going on.
As soon as Shawn and Amy stepped into the room the ARK Angels ran and hid; LC in the closet with Aurora, Cameron under the bed with Cheyenne. Shawn dropped down and looked under the bed while Amy knocked on the closet door.
"Come on guys you can't stay in there forever," Amy said to Aurora and LC.
"We can try!" LC replied and Aurora froze the closet door shut.
"Get outta there guys," Shawn said pulling Cameron's arm but he held onto his sister like an Anaconda and GPS made herself heavy like a rock so Shawn couldn't pull her from underneath the bed. Lita unfroze the closet door with her Righteous Indignation and Shawn used his strongest defense against Cheyenne, he tickled her.
"Daddy stop I'll come out!" Cheyenne laughed and Cameron rolled his eyes.
"Gees Chey I could have latest longer than that," he said coming out from under the bed with his sister.
"Wanna bet?" HBK said and Cameron shook his head in protest while Amy bought LC and Aurora over to the group, "Now that we've got your full attention, why don't you tell us what's going on?" Shawn asked the ARK Angels who shrugged in turn.
"School sucks," LC said first and Cameron nodded.
"Yeah same old, same old," he added.
"Nobody played with us again today but it's cool," Cheyenne said imitating her fellow ARK Angels and Shawn sat on Cameron's bed and raised an eyebrow at the ARK Angels suspiciously.
"Is it cool?" he asked them and they looked between each other before Cameron answered.
"No Dad it's not cool, we always have a blast when we're on the road with you and the WWE locker room or hanging out with Cassidy, Brandon, Miss Taylor and Tristen Nash when we're in Florida," Cameron started.
"Or Charlotte, Dan, Carla and Charlene when we're in New York," LC added.
"And we were thinking about that today and it made us kind of sad," Cameron continued.
"We're kids we should be having fun all the time!" she added and Shawn nodded.
"But then we thought "We're not kids, we're ARK Angels," Cheyenne added.
"But the kids at school don't understand who we are so they pick on us," Cameron said and Amy and Shawn exchanged glances not liking the sound of that one bit.
"They pick on you?" Shawn said his Righteous Indignation beginning to simmer.
"No they just ignore us," Cheyenne replied.
"They wouldn't dare touch us, not after mom scared the Damsels of Destruction with her Righteous Indignation," Cameron said.
"That was so cool," LC said thinking back when the Damsels of Destruction ran off like baby deers from Anointed Amy.
"So you guys don't have any friends at school?" Shawn asked the ARK Angels concerned and they shook their heads.
"But its okay Dad because we know we're not called to have friends, we're called to save lives and if we have to be alone to do that then we'll be alone," Cameron said and Cheyenne and LC nodded, "after all, we have each other," Cameron said hugging Cheyenne and LC and Aurora pulled on his nose.
"And you have us," Shawn added and he and Amy wrapped their arms around the ARK Angels and gave them a big hug that put a big smile on their faces.
"Okay you guys play I'm gonna talk to your father," Amy said planting kisses on each ARK Angel's face which LC promptly wiped off. She pulled Shawn away from Cameron's door and HBK looked at her intrigued.
"What's with the arm pulling?" he asked her.
"There's a reason the guys were so down in the dumps today," Amy told Shawn who furrowed his brow.
"What?" he asked.
"They've got a school trip tomorrow," Amy said and Shawn's eyes widened.
"School trip? Oh no! No wonder they're so depressed they're going to feel even more isolated than before!" Shawn said upset and Amy nodded as Shawn slid down onto the floor outside his son's bedroom dejected, "They try to be so brave but this is hard for them, like LC said they're kids they shouldn't have to go through this," he said but then he had another thought, "On the other hand," he started.
"On the other hand they're ARK Angels they're not like other children and they're supposed to be treated like they're different because they are," Amy said sliding down onto the floor next to her husband.
Shawn nodded, "It just breaks my heart to see them suffer," he said and Amy squeezed his hand, "And yet,"
"And yet this is the best thing that could have ever happened to them, to us," she said finishing Shawn's sentence and caressing her stomach and Shawn smiled at her.
"I love you," he said and Amy smiled at him and stroked his face.
"I love you too," she replied and they kissed but it was abruptly broken up by the sound of a suitcase slamming to the ground at the end of the hallway.
"Hunter?" Amy said surprised to see the Cerebral Assassin so soon.
"What are you doing here?" Shawn asked equally surprised to see his best friend home already and Hunter marched over to them with a stern look of disapproval on his face.
"I come home to see if our children are alright and what do I find? You two kissing! Have you even checked on them to see if they're okay? Have you been kissing this whole time?" Hunter demanded but before Shawn could answer Hunter banged on Cameron's bedroom door, "Cameron, Chey, LC, Ro-Ro? Are you guys okay?" he asked and the bedroom door opened to reveal the ever calm and collected Cameron and fellow ARK Angels looking up at the big blond man with the bellowing voice.
"Dad!" LC exclaimed jumping into her father's arms and Aurora signalled for him to lift her up too.
"Did these two numbskulls do anything to help you at all, or did they just spend this whole time kissing?" Hunter said looking at Amy and Shawn derisively.
"What are you talking about Uncle Hunter they were great," Cameron said and Cheyenne nodded.
"Very helpful," she added.
"Eh, they were okay I guess," LC said and Shawn and Amy stuck their tongue out at her which she of course reciprocated.
"So are you all okay now?" Hunter asked the ARK Angels who nodded, "Good, I gotta go back to work!" he said handing LC and Aurora to Shawn before flying down the stairs and out the door into the newly restored DX Machine.
"He came all the way from New York to check on us?" Cameron said incredulous, "Not much surprises me but that was pretty amazing,"
"That's my Dad," LC said fondly then she noticed the beard HBK was growing, "look Cameron my dad's so great even your dad is trying to grow a beard just like him," she said and HBK got offended.
"I'll have you know I was rocking the beard long before your old man was LC," Shawn said.
"Well he rocks it better," she said jumping out of HBK's arm, "Come on Ro-Ro, you don't wanna be hanging out with wannabes at your age and start off on the wrong foot," LC said reaching up to her baby sister and Aurora froze herself slightly causing HBK to flinch and she fell into LC's arms. The sound of the ARK Angels playing and laughing filled the West Wing of the Sandbox and it permeated the air with peace and joy and Amy smiled relieved.
"You think we helped?" Shawn asked Amy sitting back down on the floor next to her rubbing his cold arm and when she rubbed against it his arm warmed up instantly.
"I think you helped a lot, thanks for coming home," Amy replied and she kissed Shawn passionately pressing him against the wall.
"You're welcome," Shawn said after catching his breath and the Anointed Couple resumed kissing while the ARK Angels played happily with each other, the school trip was now the furthest thing from each of their young minds.
