Summary: An innocent survey circulating through the Diva's locker room, leads to an interesting turn of events.
Spoilers: Yeah... Right
Once everyone had their fill of dancing-- or half attempts at dancing.. The group made their way back to the hotel. Christian had claimed last dance with the former redhead, the pair actually putting forth one of their better efforts of the night. And, once they had arrived back to the hotel Lita managed to get a piggy back ride from Jeff in the hallway, for the trip in the elevator and subsequently to her hotel room... Of course, they'd been a bit careful with that since she was wearing a short skirt, but.. They were in the company of good friends. The Cameron native also informed his friend that he would be hanging around with them until tomorrow morning before heading back home... Jeff inviting Lita, Stacy, Victoria and Molly to stop by. And once he had suggested that, the trio of blonde Canadians also invited themselves over.. Jeff informing them that they could always crash with his brother. Naturally, the three blonde men accused the younger Hardy brother of diva-napping, but made plans with Matt none the less.. The guys finally splitting for their own hotel rooms around midnight.
Stacy set down her hairbrush, she and Victoria currently hanging out in Lita and Molly's hotel room.. "So.. Molly? Do you want to hang out with us next week? Maybe the whole mini-road trip, hotel roomie system?"
A genuine smile touched the brunette's lips. "I'd like that.. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy myself tonight but.. It was fun."
Lita grinned, "well when you have the three of us, combined with the three Stooges, Matt and Jeff? You're bound to have fun." A beat passed, the diva pulling her hair into a high ponytail. "I'm bored," she announced with a huff.
Stacy eyed her curiously, "Leets.. We just got back. If you were bored, you should've said something and we could've stayed out longer."
Victoria rolled her eyes, "like we really wanted to do that.. Or at least I didn't. No offense Stace, I like going out and all but.. Next time? Jeff Hardy is not allowed to pick the venue." She perched on the end of one of the beds, "what do you want to do, Li?"
"We could go bug Jerky and Jeff." Lita pursed her lips in thought, "I'm pretty sure those two are rooming together, Edge has the middle room with the two connecting doors.."
"Which leaves Christian and Matt on the other side," Victoria reasoned logically. "So, if we're gonna go bug one of them, we might as well crash Edge's room."
"In your pajamas?"
Lita shrugged, moving from the bed she had been sitting on. "Why not? It's not like we're wearing revealing lingerie or anything. Aside from that, it's not like they haven't seen me in it."
Stacy arched an eyebrow, "when did this happen?"
"The whole thing with the Radicalz, when Dean was still actively wrestling. The Three Stooges were hanging around the hallway, so they got to see it." Lita glanced down at her chosen sleepwear, "and honestly Stace.. They've seen us in bikinis who knows how many times. That really isn't much different."
Victoria grabbed her keycard, "so.. Me and Leets are heading down there, are the two of you staying here or coming with?"
Stacy pinned her hair back into a messy bun. "I'll come with. I haven't really hung out with those guys since the whole Alliance thing."
"Which is totally your fault," Lita reminded her with a grin. "We've invited you along I don't know how much."
Stacy rolled her eyes good naturedly, "yeah well.. I'd feel like a fourth wheel or something." She turned a hopeful look towards Molly, "are you coming with us?"
"I've gone this far," Molly smiled to the diva trio at the doorway. "I might as well.. If I'm supposed to be hanging out with you three for the rest of the week and next."
Lita beamed, "well let's get going then!" She quite flung the door open, nearly running into the younger Hardy brother in the process. "Hello."
"Hey yourself," Jeff glanced between the pajama clad divas. "Traveling slumber party?"
Victoria half shrugged, "kinda sorta.. We were gonna go bug Edge."
Jeff motioned to the alcove down the hallway, "I was just sent on a vending machine run. There's some sort of movie marathon on tv tonight, so.. Edge, Christian and Jerky have gathered."
"Then we'll just go with you," Stacy offered brightly, "if they won't mind anyway."
Jeff snorted softly, "I've never seen those three turn a diva away so.." He gestured for them to go first, "y'all know I was serious about you three coming over this week, right?"
"And we'll be there," Victoria grinned, "can't turn down a chance to go raise a ruckus with you."
"I am touched," the green eyed man stated with a goofy smile. "We just need to do a little grocery shopping first.. I don't have much in the way of food around."
Lita rolled her eyes, "you never do Jeff. But, that's okay because you'll have the three of us to look after you for a bit."
"I always knew you loved me the best." A beat passed, "though I do gotta know.. What was with all of the flowers?"
Lita waved it off to nothing, "honestly it's not a big deal. The roses were a running joke for a little while after the Bet storyline, and Chris is just being a goof."
"Of course it's nothing," Victoria shook her head, "you just keep telling yourself that Leets. We'll hold your hand when your reality check bounces."
Lita stuck out her tongue, "honestly Vicki, it's nothing. I still think it's Trish playing a joke at my expense." She paused when they finally reached the vending machines, "so.. What's on the menu?"
While Jeff ran down the list of items that Chris, Christian and Edge had requested.. Molly, Stacy, Lita and Victoria stood in front of the vending machines.. Jeff then handing over a few fistfuls of quarters and dollar bills from the Canadian trio. Granted, it took them awhile to get everything organised and distributed.. Victoria and Lita taking the snacks, Jeff helping Stacy and Molly with the requested beverages.. The green eyed man muttering under his breath about cheapskate Canadians who couldn't just order room service. It was on the way to Edge's hotel room that they ran into one of the blonde Canadian men.. Chris offering his assistance with carrying the multitude of movie goodies back to the room. And once they'd redistributed everything, they were on their way to Edge's hotel room... Edge and Christian making room for the diva quartet as they all settled in for the movie marathon.
Victoria awoke the next morning to find an elbow in her ribcage, the dark haired diva arching an eyebrow at the body that elbow belonged to.. Soon poking the snoring blonde man in the side. Blinking sleepily, she realised that she had been sleeping in one of the chairs in the room.. And she'd been sharing that chair space with Chris. Not that she overly minded the blonde man, just that she wasn't quite sure how they'd ended up sharing such close quarters. Of course, it didn't take her too long to figure out that they were in Edge's hotel room. Once she had removed Chris' elbow from her side, Victoria glanced over to the bed.. Spotting Edge sprawled out on the floor, Stacy and Jeff using his shoulders for makeshift pillows. It was then she also noticed Molly asleep in one of the other chairs in the room.. Christian sleeping quite peacefully on the bed, Lita awake and observing him.
Lita sent her friend a smile, "good morning."
Victoria swept her hair back from her face, "good morning yourself. I take it you slept well, seeing as how you had the bed and all."
"Well enough," Lita conceded easily, she peered at her curiously. "Why are you sharing the chair with Chris?"
The older woman snorted, "take a look around Leets. Molly's got the other chair, Edge is sleeping on the floor with Stacy and Jeff. And you have the bed," a beat passed, "with Christian."
Lita rolled her eyes, "and we didn't do anything so don't even get started. We were just sleeping."
Victoria held up a hand in mock defense, "I wasn't going to say anything though.. If Edge and Jerky wake up anytime soon, they might. Or they will, rather, it's just a matter of what they'll say."
"Yeah," Lita giggled softly when Christian muttered under his breath, the blonde man reaching up to move a few wayward strands of the diva's hair from his face. "I'm just going to head back to my hotel room.. After I can get up anyway."
"Good luck," Victoria said with a smirk, the raven haired diva quite amused at her friend's minor problem. "He might think you're a long lost teddy bear."
"I'm sure," Lita tossed back sardonically, "if anyone I feel badly for Edge over there. Having Jeff use him for a pillow?" She chewed on her lower lip, "maybe we should wake up Stacy and Molly so we can head back together. Grab breakfast.."
"With us, of course.." Chris spoke up rather sleepily. "Or were you lovely ladies planning on ditching us already?"
Victoria arched an eyebrow at the blonde man, "I should just ditch you since you snored in my ear all night."
Chris rolled his eyes, "it wasn't my fault, okay? I have a cold. I can't help it if my nose was all stuffed up."
Victoria tapped the blonde man on his nose, "whatever. Just don't think I'm going to forget about that. I felt like I was sleeping in a lumbermill."
"Would you all please, shut the hell up?" Edge grumbled from his spot on the floor, "some of us are trying to sleep."
Lita rolled her eyes at the disgruntled man, "look, Edgebert, it's almost 9:00 in the morning. We should all get a move on soon.. so, no better time to wake up then now."
Edge tried to sit up, but found that he couldn't since Stacy and Jeff were still fast asleep.. "If you could remove the Hardy and Stacy from my person, I would appreciate it."
Victoria looked amused, "well aren't we just a grouch in the morning. Maybe we shouldn't invite you to breakfast with us."
"Breakfast?" The tall Canadian seemingly perked. "Now that you've mentioned breakfast, you can wax me and use me for a surfboard."
Chris shuddered, "dude.. So not good imagery there."
Lita opened her mouth to say something, only to stop when Christian started to wake up. "Good morning."
He blinked, then yawned.. "Morning." A beat passed, "why are we--"
"Everyone fell asleep last night watching movies," Victoria explained shortly, "apparently we all fell asleep in the same spots we were watching movies from. I shared the chair with Jerky, Molls has her own chair, Edge is being used as a pillow and well.." She gestured plainly to the diva next to him, "you and Leets got the bed."
Christian nodded slowly, "I see.." He blanched slightly, "I didn't.."
"Talk in your sleep, drool or snore?" Lita shook her head, "nope. You may have used me as a pillow at some point, but nothing embarassing."
"Good," a beat passed, Christian finally relinquishing his hold on the diva. "So, why are we all still here?"
Victoria nodded down to the floor, "waiting for those two and Molly to wake up so we can go back to our own hotel rooms, shower and get dressed. Then we're considering breakfast."
Chris stretched his arms overhead, "I'll get the Hardy; Edgebert, if you could carry Stacy.. We'll make sure the girls get to their rooms."
"Oh sure, make the human pillow do all of the work," Edge tentatively moved one of his arms. "I just need to wait for the feeling to come back. The travesty of this situation.. It's my hotel room and yet, I slept on the floor."
"You'll live," Chris replied simply enough, "so come on.. Chop, chop. Let's get a move on, I'm starving."
With Chris' help, Jeff was soon moved from Edge's shoulder.. Victoria and Chris helping Stacy to her feet once she had woken up.. Molly waking up on her own accord. Christian and Chris ended up walking back with Edge and the divas to their hotel rooms.. The group then making plans to meet downstairs for breakfast. Of course, later that day.. Lita would be heading back to Cameron with Jeff.. Victoria, Stacy and Molly making plans to head over there the next day. At least that was the general plan.. The group of superstars knowing that could very well change at any moment. Still, they had a tentatitve plan for the morning set.. The guys heading back to their respective hotel rooms moments later.
