Chapter Four – The Ex Division

The next day the WWE was still suffering from a bout of flu brought on by Aurora's temperature tantrums before RAW and it looked like Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy weren't going to make it to Fort Lauderdale for the Smackdown tapings. The roster was also upset that Hunter had allowed Aurora to get so upset by keeping her away from Jeff who they thought had to get shaved bald out of spite. The Charismatic Enigma was on his way to Vince McMahon's house to see Stephanie who was staying with her parents and the ARK Angels had to make sure Aurora didn't see him leave as LC had spent all night with her to keep her calm. Her temperature tantrum had affected the WWE fans who attended last night's show and the last thing DX needed was for her to get upset again and have to cancel Smackdown tonight. This meant however that LC didn't get any sleep and Cameron offered to stay up with her which she appreciated very much. They stayed up late and talked about her father and Trish's baby boy who was six months away from being born.

"Cameron can I ask you something?" LC said as the morning sunlight cracked through the window of their hotel room.

"Sure," Cameron replied with a smile, he didn't seem tired at all.

"Why didn't you tell me things between my parents were gonna get rocky?" LC asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Cameron asked.

"You're the Amazing Cameron, God gave you the Gift of Wisdom you were supposed to know my parents were gonna start fighting," LC said, "But you didn't, how come?"

Cameron looked away; he didn't want to tell LC that he'd been having nightmares and that he couldn't concentrate on what was going on around him because he was too busy trying to figure out what was going on inside his head.

"I'm sorry LC I haven't really been paying attention," Cameron said.

"Is there something wrong?" LC asked.

Yes, Cameron said to himself but he didn't say that out loud, "I'm sorry I'll be more attentive," he said and he kissed LC on the forehead.

"You know call me crazy but I got this feeling that you're keeping something from me," LC said and Cameron swallowed nervously, "Trish and Randy are coming over later and I'm gonna ask them what's up with you,"

Cameron wondered if The Ortons would tell LC that he was having nightmares about her and that could land him in some serious hot water with her, "LC what would you say if I told you there was something I had to tell you but I don't know how?"

"You are keeping something from me!" LC said. "Cameron Cade Michaels we made a pact, we said there'd be no secrets between us and we'd always be honest with each other for all time!"

"Stop yelling you'll wake up your sister," Cameron said.

"Out with it God boy, what is it that you're keeping from me?" LC said and Cameron covered his face in distress and LC was not prepared for that: it was a look she hadn't seen since his mother died.

"That's how you sounded . . ." he said barely audibly covering his face.

"How I sounded, Cameron what are you talking about?" LC asked now she was upset but Cameron only managed half sentences leaving LC to believe what he had seen was truly frightening him so she backed off and decided to leave him alone, "You know what let's change the subject, I'm ordering us some pancakes! How's that sound Cam?"

"It sounds like a good idea," Cameron replied, he sounded a lot better and LC called room service.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

Cameron replayed the dream over again, frustrated he locked himself in the bathroom and prayed to God for an explanation. He didn't get one he had asked God in vain because God had already told Him that he wouldn't explain the dream.

The answer will come to you my son, God had said. Once again Cameron was on assignment to solve a problem only this time it wasn't for the world it was for himself.

In the next room DX were calling Melina and asking her to come and heal the poorly wrestlers, she said that was happy to but John Morrison wasn't happy to hear that his estranged wife was coming to Fort Lauderdale.

"I'm gonna get over this cold myself I don't need Melina's Miraculous powers to heal me," Morrison said bitterly and Shawn's face fell.

"So you're gonna just be off TV until goodness knows when?" Shawn said.

"Well I would ask Randy if I'll be well by next week's Smackdown taping but I might end up killing him," Morrison said and Shawn nodded sympathetically.

"I've been there Johnny, you can either be there for Melina when its over or you can move on," Shawn said.

"Its okay for you God made your choice for you He hasn't said anything to me," Morrison complained running his fingers through his hair in frustration, "Do you know how it feels to be surrounded by some of the mightiest men and women in God's Kingdom and not know God's love for yourself?"

"Yes I do, I wasn't always St. Michaels, there was a time when I couldn't even spell 'anointed' but God changed me, I think that's why this is happening Johnny, God's gonna do something huge in your life too," Shawn said.

"Did Cameron tell you that?" Morrison said.

"No but I know it Johnny, if you can come out of this situation a better man this test will have served its purpose. Not letting Melina heal you is not the right way to go, all it proves is how childish you are," Shawn said hoping his rebuke penetrated Morrison's caustic attitude. "You do want to set a good example for your son right?"

Johnny nodded, "I do want Romeo to look up to me, God I love that kid,"

Shawn saw the love Johnny had for Romeo and suddenly he became teary-eyed.

"Okay Shawn I'll let Melina heal me you don't have to start crying," Johnny said comforting Shawn.

"That's not why I'm upset," Shawn said and Johnny's eyes narrowed in concern.

"Then what's up?" he asked.

"I can't tell you I promised Cameron I wouldn't say anything," Shawn said wiping the tears from his eyes.

"So you're upset about Cameron?" Johnny asked intrigued.

"Johnny please I've already said too much," Shawn said and Johnny didn't pry any further.

"Well I care about you too Shawn you've always been there for me when I'm having trouble with my old lady. If Cameron's giving you any problems why don't you let him stay over with me and Romeo at Maria and John's place?" Johnny suggested.

"I'll ask him," Shawn said opening the door for Johnny to leave and Morrison got the message.

"Okay I'll go, think about it okay?" Johnny said.

"Okay," Shawn replied and he closed his hotel room door thinking about his son and the dream that just wouldn't go away.

The McMahons at 9am:

Jeff Hardy stretched his eyes closed with sleep as the morning light broke though the blinds in his guest bedroom. Stephanie was in the shower, he could smell the scent of her peach and apricot shampoo and he loved it. There was something else he could smell, it was a stack of blueberry pancakes and thick maple syrup and Vince McMahon.

"Good morning son-in-law!" Vince McMahon said brightly.

"YARGHH!!" Jeff said flying up out of his bed and landing on the floor, Vince McMahon looked down at him holding the breakfast he made especially just for Jeff.

"Are you okay?" Vince asked the now sore Jeff Hardy.

"No I'm not okay! What are you doing in my room?!" Jeff asked perplexed.

"Hello, I'm giving you your breakfast in bed. I was gonna wait until you got downstairs but then I thought it might get cold, Stephanie told me how you like to sleep in so I brought it up to you!" Vince said merrily as Jeff got up off the floor. "Come on get back in bed,"

"Why I'm already up?" Jeff said.

"Its not breakfast in bed unless you're in bed dummy, come on get under the covers so we can do this thing right," Vince said.

"But Mr. McMahon," Jeff complained.

"Nah-uh, we've talked about this Jeff. Call me Dad," Vince said as Jeff reluctantly got back in bed.

"Okay thanks – Dad," Jeff said taking his tray with a smile and Vince ruffled his hair fondly.

"That's okay son, did I ever tell you I love what you do to your hair?" Vince said, "All that color is just fantastic,"

"Well it was your idea," Jeff said.

"Yes it was, I wanted Matt to dye his hair as-well but he refused," Vince said, "I should have fired him for that,"

"You did fire him," Jeff said chomping down on his pancakes.

"Yeah but that was for something else, if Matt had dyed his hair like I suggested he'd be just as popular as you if not more so," Vince McMahon said.

"More so?" Jeff said competitively.

"Okay at least as good as you," Vince said.

"Yeah he wishes," Jeff Hardy said frowning as Mr. McMahon started to open the blinds. "You know Steph's in the shower she might not appreciate the blinds being open Dad,"

"I thought you two weren't sharing the same bedroom?" Vince said.

"We're not we stayed up all night talking and she fell asleep," Jeff said.

"Oh, what were ya'll talking about?" Vince asked.

"You don't wanna know Dad," Stephanie said coming out of the shower with a towel over her head. "It would really upset you,"

"Well why don't you just tell me and we'll see who gets upset?" Vince said defensively as Stephanie dried her pink and blond hair.

"Well Hunter's gone even lower down the loser scale, he's forcing Jeff to cut his hair off completely," Stephanie said.

"He wants you to go BALD?!" Vince said to Jeff who nodded and he got up to share his pancakes with Stephanie, "He's crazy!"

"Well I have no choice it's his company and it's his rules and I don't wanna cause anymore problems between us, the locker room's already on edge because we're always arguing over some stupid stuff." Jeff said and Stephanie kissed his syrupy lips while Vince paced the floor.

"But your hair is your thing, it's why you're so freaking popular why would he wanna change that?" Stephanie argued still upset over the whole thing.

"I don't know all I know is that I'm doing it today so kiss my rainbow colored hair goodbye," Jeff replied.

"I'll tell you why he's doing it, he's doing it to get back at me because dying your hair was my idea and he wants to do erase my stamp on the industry by shaving your head bald!" Vince said.

"That's exactly what it is Daddy, this is just another way for him to get at us," Stephanie said referring to her family. "If you weren't marrying me he wouldn't be making you do this Jeff,"

Jeff nodded, Stephanie and Vince were absolutely right Hunter was tripping over his own ego.

"Well it's a mistake it could ruin your career, I have to do something," Vince said heading for the door but Jeff stopped him before he could leave.

"What did I just say? I said I'm doing it I don't need you doing something that's gonna come back and bite me in the butt, just let it go please," Jeff said firmly but politely and Vince answered him just as politely.

"I'm sorry Jeffrey but that's not gonna happen; you're part of my family now and when you mess with Jeff Hardy you're messing with me," Vince said and he grabbed his jacket and left before Jeff could say anything to stop him.

"Stephanie your father is gonna march into DX Inc and cause a whole lotta problems for me and the WWE locker room! Hunter is not about to back down to the owner of TNA," Jeff said but Stephanie just shrugged chomping on her pancakes.

"Hunter had this coming, you let my Daddy take care of this," Stephanie said coolly, there was something comforting about the way she just blew past Jeff's concern.

"Will I be able to spend time with you without worrying if Hunter's gonna go off the rails?" Jeff wondered.

"When you leave the WWE and come to TNA and work for my father you won't have a care in the world my love," Stephanie said and once again Jeff was comforted by her confidence that came from out of nowhere. "Now while my father's taking care of you, why don't you take care of me?"

Jeff smiled knowing what Stephanie meant, "My pleasure my love," Jeff said and they kissed passionately with syrupy lips and sticky fingers.

Just before DX left for the arena where Smackdown was being taped Vince McMahon showed up at the hotel and made a beeline straight for The Game.

"Vince what are you doing here?" Shawn asked.

"I came here to talk to this power hungry titan known as Triple H," Vince said and the wrestlers stopped on their way out of the hotel to hear what their former boss had to say.

"What is this about?" Hunter asked.

"Jeff Hardy," Vince said.

"What about Jeff Hardy?" Hunter asked.

"My son-in-law told me that you want him to shave his head bald and I came here to tell you to your face that that is the stupidest idea since Katie Vick!" McMahon said and the wrestlers laughed.

"Everyone of you guys leave, this has nothing to do with you," Hunter said to them.

"You mean until you decide that Kofi's dreads are too long, or Rey needs to lose the mask?" Vince said. "What you're doing is so pathetic I can't believe you're getting away with this,"

"Well this is my company and I will run it how I see fit!" Hunter said angrily.

"Well if you guys get fed up with my ex-son-in-law's power games feel free to give me a call," Vince said and he pointed at Shawn Michaels, "that includes you HBK,"

Shawn shook his head, "Leave now before things get really hot in this hotel lobby," he said and Vince knew that meant Shawn's Righteous Indignation was on standby.

"My offer is still open Shawn, to you and your powerful little family," Vince said looking at Amy, Rebecca Michelle and the ARK Angels.

As he turned to leave Chyna reached for Hunter's hand but The Game snatched it away angrily, "Is there anyone else that thinks I'm wrong for telling Jeff Hardy to shave his head bald?"

As every wrestlers hand went up only the hands of LC and Chyna remained by their sides, "Great now all I need is the vote of someone whose opinion actually matters," Hunter said and LC and Chyna couldn't believe what they just heard.

"That's it I'm sorry guys I tried but there's no way I can stand here and let this man who I thought loved me treat me like I'm some groupie," Chyna said to Amy and Shawn and the Anointed Couple watched in horror as Chyna pulled off her engagement ring and threw it at Hunter violently, "As far as I'm concerned you can find another woman to marry you – the wedding is off!"

LC gasped as her mother stormed off, "Mom wait!" she cried running after her mother and Cameron went after her but she stopped him dead in his tracks.

"Let me come with you maybe I can help," Cameron said but LC shook her head.

"You are the Amazing Cameron if you wanna help me you get your act together and ask God what's going on with my family, when you have an answer call me," LC said.

"But I told you I don't know what's going on," Cameron said.

"Ask Trish and Randy when they come, I gotta go Cameron if I stay here one minute longer I'm gonna kill my father," LC said.

"Okay go," Cameron said knowing that LC wasn't kidding and as he watched his girlfriend leave his father came over to him, knelt by his side and smiled.

"How would you like to stay over at Johnny's with Romeo tonight?" he asked he could tell his son was under a lot of pressure, a chance of atmosphere would be good. Home definitely wasn't the best place for him now.

"Okay, can you stay over too?" Cameron asked.

"I'll ask Johnny," Shawn said but Amy shook her head.

"Don't leave me at The Sandbox with Hunter!" she begged her husband.

"Just stay in the baby's room you'll be fine," Shawn said.

"No I won't – I don't think I can trust myself alone with him after what he just did to Chyna," Amy said.

"Well stay with me, my house has got plenty of room," Melina said with a heavy sigh and Amy hugged relieved that she didn't have to share the same living space as Hunter tonight.

"So I'm going home alone, nobody cares if I want company," Hunter complained and Shawn shook his head.

"You better hope we come back," he said and the locker room nodded in agreement, it seemed that there was a chance the WWE roster might not be leaving Florida after all but to Hunter it was just another example of Vince McMahon taking everything away and leaving him with absolutely nothing. As everyone left Hunter curled up by his luggage on the ground, only one figure hadn't left the lobby and that was Cheyenne.

"I liked your idea about shaving Jeff Hardy's head," Cheyenne said.

"You did?" Hunter said relieved.

"Yeah, but I like monsters," Cheyenne explained.

"Then you must love me," Hunter said sadly.

"I do love you Uncle Hunter," Cheyenne said.

"Why?" Hunter asked.

"Because you have to love people while they're still alive," Cheyenne replied and she hugged Triple H who hugged her back wondering where that thought came from.
