Chapter Two – Meltdown in Milwaukee

The Hennigans, Santa Monica, CA, 10am:

Randy Orton slumped onto the couch after walking up and down Santa Monica beach at 6am trying to get his mind right drawing his hand over his face in despair.

"Me and Trish Stratus, this would be any other guys' dream but for me it's a nightmare," he said, the two didn't get on at all Randy didn't see how this was going to work.

Melina and Johnny came into the living room, Melina with water and her husband with a power smoothie looking down at the troubled Superstar who had been acting like a bear with a sore head ever since they left The Sandbox.

"Hey guys," he said miserably.

"Hey Randy," they said at the same-time and they married couple came and sat down next to him.

"I kinda hoped things would look better in the morning – they don't," Randy said and Melina offered him some of her water, "thanks," Randy said handing her back the now empty bottle.

"Don't mention it," Melina said looking at the bottle.

"I'll get you another bottle out of the fridge," Johnny said taking the bottle away from her and going into the kitchen. Melina pulled Randy over to her and he rested on her shoulder with his arms around her.

"I love spending time with you," he said to Melina who smiled.

"I know, but God wants you to be with Trish and if you care about what happens to the world you'll hurry up and get her pregnant," Melina said and Randy grunted in frustration and Melina frowned, "the baby doesn't like it when you're sad Randy," she said moving away from him a little and Randy sighed. He tilted his head to one side looking at Melina's swollen stomach with curiosity, "What is it?" Melina asked him.

"Amy and Trish said that your baby is the reason I have such strong feelings for you, all this time I thought I was in love with you, I'm so confused," Randy said rubbing his head in frustration. Melina smiled and motioned Randy over to her.

"Randy if you obey the Will of God you won't be confused anymore, come here let me help relieve some of the tension," she said compassionately and Randy leaned back so she could massage his temples, "better?" Melina said and Randy started to relax.

"Mucho gracias," Randy replied and Johnny came and sat down on the other side of him putting Randy's feet on his lap.

"Hey what are you doing man?" Randy said as Johnny started to massage his bare feet.

"My wife wants to make you feel better and so do I, I'm her husband and we do everything together," Johnny answered and Randy snatched his feet away from the Tag Team Champion while Melina laughed.

"That's very sweet Johnny but I'm actually helping, you're just weirding him out," Melina said.

"If you really wanna help me out Johnny boy you'll hand me that water," Randy said and Johnny unscrewed the top and doused Randy with the mineral water causing Melina to scream and jump up.

"That's it you're a dead man!" Randy said and ran to the fridge to get more water then he chased after Johnny with it while Melina shook her head and went back in the kitchen to get some more water for herself and her baby.

"Boys will be boys, even after they get married and become fathers." she said putting the water to her lips, the baby drank most of it, "You're thirsty aren't you sweetie?" she said to her unborn child while outside Johnny and Randy had a water fight.

"Ooops!" Johnny said and Melina came outside to see what was going on and saw Trish doused head to toe in ice cold water.

"Orton you idiot!" she cried out angrily and Randy got angry too.

"Leave me alone!" he said as Trish pushed the water out of her face and flicked some at him. She shoved Randy back and he doused her with even more water getting the Canadian diva even more upset.

"Guys quit it!" Johnny said taking the water away from Randy but Trish wasn't through, she wanted to go to extreme water sports on Orton. Melina watched as the soaked diva stormed around to the back of her house and found the hose.

"Your mine now Randy," Trish said and turned on the tap and soaked Randy Orton head-to-toe.

"I already showered you know!" Randy yelled at Trish who tried to kiss him but he pulled back in disgust, "get away from me woman, kissing you is the last thing I want to do!"

"Well I'm sorry Randy but you're just gonna have to get used to it, we're gonna have a baby whether you like it or not and quite frankly I don't care how you feel about it!" Trish said with a smile and Randy looked her up and down, but not even her wet t-shirt could make him like her.

"Well you're gonna have to try a little harder if you what me to make a baby with you Stratus," Randy Orton said and Trish gnashed her teeth furiously and soaked Randy again.

"This is gonna be very interesting," Johnny said to his wife escaping the water by a margin and Melina sighed.

"The road to true love is never easy and judging by these two the road is going to be a very long one," Melina said and Johnny nodded wondering how on Earth Trish and Randy were going to make a baby if they were fighting all the time? Still Melina clung to God's promise, a little water fight wasn't going to stop Trish and Randy from falling head over heals in love with each other and she was bummed that she wasn't even going to be around to see it.

"That reminds me I better call Maria," she said going into the kitchen for her cell-phone, "you and Cena have got to keep us in the loop while we're on our Healing Crusade," Melina said and Johnny nodded swallowing his tears; he didn't want his wife to see him cry it might make her wanna stay home instead of healing the US with her Miraculous healing power.

"No problem baby," he said and walked into the garden and let the tears fall where only God, Trish and Randy could see them.

Candice Michelle's parents' house, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 12pm:

DX arrived after finally making it through Milwaukee airport they along with Jeff Hardy and Shelton Benjamin were mobbed by a pack of rabid WWE fans.

"That was all your fault!" Shawn complained to Hunter, "those fans would never have known who we were if you didn't tell that one guy to SUCK IT!"

"He started it!" Hunter protested, "And what about him yelling "ain't no stopping me now!" at the top of his voice!" Hunter said pointing to Shelton who shrugged.

"You guys are always saying I need to improve my mic skills," Shelton said.

"Yeah but not in a crowded airport in the middle of the day," Jeff Hardy complained, "you're rolling with the upper echelon now Shelton you gotta be more careful,"

"Says the guy who makes his career by jumping off scaffolding and 20ft tall ladders," Shelton replied sarcastically.

"You're not exactly Mr. Play It Safe yourself Shelton," Jeff Hardy argued and Shawn and Hunter rolled their eyes, the two IC Champs had argued all the way from Orlando.

"You guys make the Kliq look like newlyweds," Hunter observed.

"And if you don't pipe down I'm gonna Kiss you," Shawn said and Shelton and Jeff turned their noses up.

"We'll be good," they said at the same-time.

"Alright then, let's go visit the former Women's Champion," Shawn said and the four men headed toward Candice Michelle's parents' home, she had moved back home at their insistence and kept herself pretty much away from her friends in the WWE who hadn't heard from her in weeks. She had two new friends now – her hot pink laptop and the world wide web. She hardly registered she had guests when DX, Jeff and Shelton came through her bedroom door.

"Hey Candice, you have guests my dear," her father said.

"Can't talk, busy," Candice said not taking her eyes off the screen. Hunter pouted and looked over at Shawn.

"I expected her to be a little bit more excited to see us didn't you?" Hunter said and Shawn nodded, not one to be ignored by the ladies he moved towards Candice, sat on her bed and closed her lap-top gently and gave her a smile. Candice just stared right through him like she didn't even know he was there.

"Candice it's me Shawn," HBK said waving his hand in front of Candice Michelle's face but she gave no response. Jeff, Shelton and Hunter came over to Shawn and did the same but she didn't acknowledge their presence at all.

"Okay something's up, Shawn hit her with your Kiss of Life," Hunter said and Shawn refused.

"I can't use my Kiss of Life unless God tells me to," he said waving his hand in front of her face again but still no response came, "Hunter what are you doing!" Shawn said as Hunter went to kiss Candice.

"If you won't use your Kiss of Life then I will," Hunter said and Shawn pushed him away from Candice.

"You don't have a Kiss of Life you horny sonofagun," Shawn replied and turned to Candice's father at the door, "how long has she been like this sir?" Shawn asked and Candice's old man who put his hands in his pocket and breathed heavily telling Shawn that it must have been awhile. When Candice's parents called DX and asked them to come check on Candice they thought maybe she wanted to ask them if they thought she could come back to RAW and do some promos or some-thing, right now however Candice wasn't even talking so cutting promos was not an option.

"I called you guys because Candice hasn't had her Diva friends around in awhile and I think she's been alone too long," he said concerned, "all she does is stare at that computer screen day in and day out, my wife finally had to do something, so we decided to give you two a call,"

"Why didn't you call the doctor?" Shelton Benjamin asked.

"We did, the doc said she's depressed about not being on the road," Candice's dad replied and Shawn and Hunter nodded; they understood what that was like.

"Injuries really bum you out," Hunter said sympathetically.

"How's her shoulder?" Shawn asked.

"Its still not fully healed," Candice's dad replied and DX, Jeff and Shelton looked between each other smiling.

"I think we know somebody who can make your daughter feel right as rain sir," Jeff Hardy said thinking of Melina the Miraculous but Shawn wondered if this was anything to do with Candice's injury or was something on her mind.

"What you looking at Candice?" he said and tried to open her laptop, when he got it open and tried to sneak a peek at what was on the screen Candice slammed it down on his hand, "OUCH!" Shawn cried out and his cheeks flushed red with rage and his hair started to turn red.

"Uh-oh," Hunter said knowing Candice's actions had enraged Shawn's other half and activated his Righteous Indignation, "let's go boys, we'll be back with help sir don't worry about a thing!" Hunter said throwing Shawn over his shoulder and leaving Candice's parents' home before Shawn set fire to the place and Candice's dad wondered what on Earth had come over HBK.

"Whoa Shawn are you okay?" Jeff asked HBK but the sweet sugary side of DX had left the building, St. Michaels now stood in his place and he was in a smiting kinda mood.

"Its not him its Amy, look," Hunter said pulling up Shawn's shirt sleeve and showed Jeff and Shelton the angry green meanie where his pierced heart tattoo used to be, "Amy gets mad when Shawn gets mad, it's a good thing I came prepared," Hunter said and ran over to the DX Machine (DX had one waiting for them at every airport), "Driver pass me my Purple Robe of Righteousness," Hunter told the driver who handed the garment to him thinking Hunter lost his mind.

"You mean this purple rag with your name on it?" the driver asked.

"Just give it to me!" Hunter said and the driver laughed as Hunter took it and wrapped it around Shawn's pulsating form, seconds later HBK was as cool as a cucumber and Shelton and Jeff breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, that was scary," Shelton said.

"Yes it was, there must have been something evil in that lap-top to activate Shawn's Righteous Indignation like that," Hunter said as Shawn went back to normal.

"I'm okay now thanks Hunter," Shawn said his hair going back to blond and his pierced heart tattoo returning.

"Did you see what Candice was looking at?" Jeff asked him.

"No," Shawn said, "I gotta talk to my kids they'll know what's going on," Shawn said.

"Well what are you waiting for call them?" Hunter said and Shawn shook his head.

"They're at school," Shawn said.

"So they'll learn about slavery some other time, this is more important than school Shawn," Hunter insisted and Shawn sighed.

"Okay," he said and was about to call Cameron's cell-phone when the Amazing One called him.

"Heating it up in Milwaukee right dad?" Cameron said humorously, "Candice Michelle's in trouble," he said in the playground with LC and Cheyenne.

"How much do you know?" Shawn asked him.

"Not much except it has something to do with Skittles," Cameron said and Shawn furrowed his brow, Skittles? He thought confused and was about to ask his son for more information when Cameron told him, "I'll have much more information by the end of school,"

"Okay I'll call you back then," Shawn said.

"By the way dad, tell Uncle Hunter his Robe of Righteousness sure came in handy," Cameron said looking back at Amy who was wearing the Robe of Righteousness thanks to Joanie who came down to the school when Cameron called home and told her Amy's Righteous Indignation was in play.

"Uh-oh," Shawn said embarrassed for Cameron having Amy's Righteous Indignation go off in front of all the school kids and their teachers.

"Call me when you get to Arizona," Cameron said and hung up much to his father's bemusement.

"So Big Red nearly set the school on fire?" Hunter asked him and Shawn nodded.

"Whatever Candice was looking at on that laptop has got the Spirit Realm in a twist," Shawn said and Hunter patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm sure Cameron will have the whole thing solved by show-time, let's go guys I wanna see the look on Victoria's face when she realizes Randy Orton is going to be a daddy," Hunter said and Jeff and Shelton shuddered.

"Another Orton, that's all the world needs," Shelton said as they all rolled out to the airport.

"I could handle another Legend Killer, as long as there's a chance for some Stratusfaction," Jeff Hardy said and he and Shelton laughed and DX laughed too.

"Now that's much better, you guys are so much fun to be around when you're not fighting," Shawn said hoping that Shelton and Jeff could start bringing more laughter to the locker room because the Divas had already lost three of their shining stars in Amy, Melina and Maria and they quite possibly were about to lose one more, "I've got some ideas how we can make the locker room more fun!" Shawn said with a big Christian smile and Hunter frowned.

"You mean the good kind of fun or the church kind of fun?" Hunter asked and Shawn gave his best friend a merry smile.

"That's the only kind I know!" Shawn said and Hunter deflated in his seat.

"This must be that spirit of heaviness I heard about," he said thinking how hard the next few days were gonna be on the road with Shawn organizing the downtime activities for the WWE roster; the wet t-shirt bikini contest he had planned was as good as dead now, something the old Candice Michelle would definitely have been up for, the new Candice Michelle wasn't up for anything these days. But the idea of a Shawn Michaels' Day of Fun made The Game determined to get the old Candice Michelle back so The Game could have fun the only way he knew how – the Degenerate way.

"What are you smiling about Hunter?" Shawn asked suspiciously.

"Nothing," The Game said, "I'm looking forward to it,"

"Great," Shawn said excitedly, "I'll bring the Bibles!"

"And I'll bring the judges," Hunter said making eye contact with Jeff and Shelton who looked back at him confused, "I mean I'll bring the t shirts, you guys can bring the water,"

"What?" Jeff and Shelton said confused.

"Well you can't have a wet t shirt contest without water . . . I mean you can't have a church drive without food and drink," Hunter corrected himself.

"I'm so glad you're up for this Hunter, it'll really lift everyone spirits," Shawn said and Hunter nodded then winked and Jeff and Shelton who realized they were part of something either immoral and blasphemous or pure and righteous.

"We'll just wait for Shawn's Righteous Indignation to start up then we'll know which," Shelton said and Jeff nodded, it looked like Shawn's Day of Fun could very well be Hunter's Last Day on Earth so he remembered to tell Shawn not to leave the Robe of Righteousness in the DX Machine because he was definitely gonna need it tomorrow.
