You Know It 2

Chapter 4

When Dolph and I made it to the arena, we were pleased to discover that our new group status also included us getting our own locker room with Cody. When we entered the locker room, our new partner was already there, in full gear. Upon seeing us, he rose to his feet.

"Check out our new digs!" He joked. "No more packed locker rooms for us!"

"You have no idea how dreadful sharing a locker room with so many Divas is some times!" I said seriously.

"I can only imagine you run out of mirror space!"

"It really was an epidemic! Not that I expect to get much more mirror time sharing with you and Dolph!" I joked.

"Touché Kelsey!" he said with a chuckle. "By the way, your scripts are over there on the chair."

"Oh sweet! Thanks Cody," I said bouncing over to grab a script. I handed Dolph his and he silently began looking it over. His excessive silence made me a little nervous. I hoped his reluctance wouldn't cause the storyline to holt all together. We needed to sell whatever creative put in front of us, no matter what. TV time was hard to come by and we were being handed some continually.

A backstage segment was our first order of business a little into the show. The two of us barged into General manager AJ Lee's office. She was already speaking with the arguing Cody and Kofi Kingston.

"Whoa, Whoa…let's calm it down boys. I'm sure AJ doesn't care about your little tantrums," I spat. "Especially when such an injustice occurred last night! I mean, Dolph was screwed out of the United States championship! You can't stand by and do nothing about this AJ!"

"Kelsey, I know you and Dolph are upset but the finish was clean," she said dismissively. "He is entitled to a rematch in accordance with the rematch clause though, but that wont be happening tonight!"

"That isn't fair!" I whined. "He shouldn't have to go one more night without his title."

"Fair? Fair! You don't know much about fair. You cheat all the time!" R-Truth said accusingly as he entered the room, his newly acquired U.S. Championship on his shoulder.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I scoffed.

"You are not to speak to her like that!" Dolph said protectively.

"She cheated for this idiot last week!" R-Truth said pointing to Cody.

"Jealous much?" Cody responded putting his hand through his hair. "Maybe if you didn't look like that pretty women would be on your side too." Cody winked at me and I smiled bashfully as laid out in the script.

"Will you all shut up!" AJ demanded. "Tonight, Dolph and Cody are not to compete in their rematches. Instead, let's make things interesting. Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes versus Kofi Kingston and R-Truth. Sounds like a great tag match huh!?" She chirped. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on Dolph, you have a match to prepare for," I pouted as we headed off screen.

The cameraman turned off the camera.

I slid my arm around Dolph and he put an arm around me. He seemed a little lost in thought today, it had me a bit freaked out. He's usually more open about things with me.

"You okay?" I asked him softly as we walked back to change for his match,

"Yeah, fine," he said shortly.

"If it's about the segment, it was script-"

"I'm fine, the segment was fine, Kels," he insisted. I dropped it, not wanting to create a fight.

Back in the locker room, Cody, Dolph, and I all changed into proper attire for the upcoming match. The room was pretty silent as we studied scripts for the rest of the night. I noticed that I didn't have a match tonight. I was a little disappointed but I knew it was because they were holding out to see if Beth would be able to compete before the next pay-per-view and didn't want to shove me into another feud.

Eventually, it was time for the match. Cody, Dolph and I slowly made our way to the curtain. The team of Kofi and R-Truth went before us with their own respective entrances.

"Let's kick some ass boys!" I said excitedly trying to get pumped up to get out there.

"Okay, let's give 'em a show!" Cody spoke, matching my level of enthusiasm.

"That's the spirit!" I said with a giggle. Cody's music hit and he headed out onto the stage. I turned to Dolph.

"You ready to steal the show?"

"Always."

"Come on! Where's that mega watt smile that I love?" I said giving him a slap on the ass. A grin formed across his lips. "There it is!"

"Sorry if I've been a little off tonight. I'm just a little preoccupied. No worries, Blondie!" he said in a very assuring tone. He gave me a kiss on the lips.

"Okay. If you insist!"

The match had been going well. Dolph and Cody were both working extremely well together. In addition, they were showboats, it was a natural fit. Cody had brought back elements of his 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes gimmick. When combined with Dolph's persona, a great team was presented.

Kofi got a second wind of energy and poised himself for a come back. Out of nowhere he hit a trouble in paradise on Cody. Dolph quickly entered the ring. The referee turned his back on Cody to get Dolph out of the ring. I slid into the ring and hit Kofi in the head with my Diva's championship before sliding out of the ring again. Cody crawled and got the cover. 1...2...3! The bell rang and they were announced as the winners.

I slid back into the ring. As Cody's music rang through the arena, the pair stood arms, raised on either side of the referee. I stood smiling, title on my shoulder. I glanced from one guy to the other and repeated this quite a few times. I nodded a little, indicating that I had an idea. Dolph waved me over and lifted my hand up, as I aided in the victory. Cody grabbed the other. The fans cheered, a little unexpectedly for Dolph, as his new tweener status had earned him more fanfare. I kicked Kofi in the ribs and we left the ring.

Later backstage, Cody cut another promo with Josh Matthews.

"Cody, first of all congratulations on your win here tonight," Josh said politely.

"Thanks you, don't act so surprised."

"I-uh, I'm not. I just…what do you have to say about the controversial finishes you've had over the last two weeks…I mean two Raw wins in a row…"

"I don't know why my wins have been considered 'controversial'. I won, that's all there is to it," he answered simply.

"You don't think that the involvement of the Diva's Champion, Kelsey, has anything to do with it…"

"Look, I'm not going to say she didn't help me out. I didn't ask her to do it. I would have won those matches regardless. For you to suggest otherwise is ridiculous," Cody spat irritated.

"I don't mean to offend you. I'm just asking you what the people are asking. Why the involvement?"

"Kelsey Crawford has not been interfering for me. Not that I wouldn't love to work with her, have in my corner. Her interference has been on behalf of her boyfriend. I was just fortunate enough to be on the good side of her strikes. That's it. I'm done talking!" He said angrily storming off, ending the interview.

I turned to Dolph in our dressing room.

"That was pretty good, don't you think?" I asked peppily.

"Yeah, not too bad. It's weird to think we won't just be a duo anymore," he said a little disappointedly.

"I know, Dolph. I guess we'll just have to see this as brand new opportunity for us," I said sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me, I snuggled into him. For this first time tonight, he didn't seem off.

"Easy for you, grouping with Cody wont effect you much. You are the gorgeous female, valet/stable mate. I have to compete for dominance with him. Nobody wants to be the Jannetty!" he said with a chuckle. I burst out into a ridiculous amount of laughter.

"You'll always be my Shawn Michaels," I said with a wink.

"I better be!"

"Weeeellllll," I said exaggerating my words.

"Damn it Blondie!" I began laughing again. He swiftly moved his hands to my midsection and began to tickle me. I tried to contain my squeals. I wriggled about trying to free myself from his grasp. My attempts failed and we both fell off of the steel chair onto the floor with a thud. He released me and we both lay intertwined on the floor laughing.

Our door swung open and Zack appeared.

"Oh Jeeze guys! Do I even want to know what the hell is going on here?" Zack groaned.

"Nahh, probably not bud!" Dolph chuckled as the two of us got up off of the floor.

"You two are nuts," he said shaking his head.

"But you love us!" I chirped. He immediately smiled.

"You know it! I'd love you guys more if you got your shit together so we could get on the road!"

"Oh yeah! We have quite a drive ahead of us tonight, don't we?" I asked.

"As always, so get a move on Kels!" he demanded with a smile.

"I need like two seconds, calm down!" I spat playfully.

"I've heard that before and from experience, it's always a lie!" Zack joked.

"Right!?" Dolph added before giving Zach a high five.

"Hey!" I said putting my hands on my hips.

"The truth is tough!" Zack teased.

"I don't know if I like you two being friends….you gang up on me!"

"You're fine you big baby," Zack said putting me into a headlock and messing up my hair with his other hand. I reached up and messed up his hair in return. "Whoa watch the hair!"

"You messed up mine first and mine takes a lot longer to do!" I spat.

"Well I don't know about that!" Dolph interjected. "He takes a long time on that spiky 'do!"

"Like you can talk Ziggler!" Zack fired back.

"I know right!" I agreed.

"You are the weirdest divorced couple I know," Dolph said with a chuckle. "One minute you are fighting and the next you are united on the same time!"

"If you think that's bad you should have seen our marriage!" Zack said jokingly.

"Yeah, our divorce is so much less of a rollercoaster ride," I added.

"From the bit I did see, I'm not surprised!" he said picking up his bag. "You guys all set to go?"

"Absolutely, let's go boys!"

The three of us headed out of the arena and out to our rental car to begin the long trek to the house show location for tomorrow night. Tonight had been quite an eventful one. I wasn't exactly sure where the storyline with Cody would lead but I hoped it wouldn't stop our progress dead in its tracks….

I want to thank all of you for being so patient with me about getting this up and running! It's been a long time coming. I hope you guys all enjoy the story! Leave me comments and messages with any questions, comments, ideas, etc.
