A/N: Thanks for the Reviews :) I hope you enjoy the chapter!

After leaving our new hotel room I was driving to the arena for the taping of Raw, I felt excited again. Just as excited as I had been last week on my debut. I left the hotel earlier than usual so that I would have time to prepare for whatever match I would be involved in tonight. Over the weekend I got to perform in a few of the Raw houses shows, and I had a blast doing it. But most importantly I had a great time interacting with the WWE fans.

I parked the vehicle and grabbing my bag from the trunk, I walked into the arena. I had curled my hair, but only threw on my spandex short shorts and a white shirt, saving my ring attire for later. I dropped my bag off in the locker rooms and headed to check out the match card for the evening. I had a Divas Championship Title Match against defending champion Maryse. How lucky was I?

I happened to look down and notice Randy was scheduled in a tag team match against John Cena and Triple H. Randy's partner was to be Ted DiBiase, and this match was set up as the last segment between the competitors of Cena, Triple H, and Randy before their triple threat match for the WWE title at Night of Champions. I found myself feeling a little concerned for Randy.

I shook my head and took a walk throughout the arena. As it steadily got busier I made my way towards the locker rooms. I decided to do some warm ups so I started doing some stretching outside the locker room so as to have more space. I was bent over reaching for my toes when I was startled by a familiar voice.

"Well isn't that a nice view?" I turned around and Ted was standing behind me.

"Aren't you quite the pervert," I teased him.

"Hey I was talking about that huge sandwich that dude is eating. I never got a chance to eat dinner!" He defended himself, and I turned around and there in fact was a guy sitting on some crates eating a sandwich.

I smiled to myself and shook my head before turning around to face the third generation superstar.

"Well you got me on that one, but what are you doing talking to me? Ted DiBiase," I put my hands on my hips, "do you have a crush on me?" I joked and then laughed.

"You caught me! And I thought I was being so subtle," he said in mock disappointment and even snapping his fingers for dramatic effect.

I giggled, "So what are you really doing here?"

"Well honestly, I am bored and everyone else is busy!"

"Wait? So I'm like the last resort? Thanks a lot DiBiase and I thought you actually liked me!" I pouted.

"Well James, since we are on a last name basis and everything, life is what it is. You can't spend your life wondering whether or not Ted DiBiase likes you. As important as it may be, I can admit that it probably isn't healthy," He chuckled.

I glared at him, "Shouldn't you be preparing for a match or something and not pestering me!" I said defiantly.

"Well I just decided that I like you James, You aren't afraid to speak your mind," he looked over my shoulder, "But for the moment, I must take leave because that dude with the sandwich is leaving, and I haven't gotten a chance to ask him where he got it from yet."

With one last wink he was off. I had to laugh; he was a funny guy, very entertaining to say the least. I walked back to the locker room to get changed into my ring attire and wondered where the heck Kelly and Melina were. They should have been here by now, it was already 7:30 but I didn't have time to wonder any longer, because a crew member came to my room to tell me that my match was up next.

I found my way to the gorilla position and when my music hit, I heard cheers erupt from the crowd and I stepped out onto the ramp with a huge smile on my face. I made my way to the ring, after shaking some hands from the crowd and then waited for my opponent, and the WWE divas champion to make her way to the ring.

After a few minutes, I slowly started to gain control and was about to hit the Mickie-DT, when all of a sudden I was clotheslined to the mat and looked up to see Jillian hall had attacked me. After her and Maryse double teamed me for a while until Jillian held me up to be on the receiving end of a heel kick from Maryse. I was laid out in the ring while Jillian and Maryse made their way up the ramp. I struggled to my feet with the crowd cheering for me, and made my own way up the ramp and entered the backstage area.

I couldn't believe that bitch Jillian; jealous because I beat her last week. Yeah whatever I won the match, but I didn't win the Divas title, I hate that stipulation!

Of course being the person that I am, I hadn't been paying attention to where I was going, yet again, and I didn't notice that I was about to smack right into The Viper. At least this time I managed to maintain my balance before looking up into the blue eyes of my ex-boyfriend.

"Mickie, we really have got to stop meeting like this," he paused but I didn't reply so he continued, "Tough break out there, but I know what you are thinking; you lose the match so you need some comfort. What better way to do that than by spending some time with the Viper?"

I glared right back into his eyes, "You know, normally I would just love standing here to listen to you ramble on about yourself," I said sarcastically, "But at this very moment, your egotistical ways are really getting on my nerves. So if you don't mind, I really would like to get away from you!"

He took a step forward until we were face to face, or more like face to chest, and his expression grew to that of anger, and his eyes turned cold. After a couple seconds, he stepped to the side and gestured for me to continue. With one final glare, I stalked off, only to stop a little ways away and turn around to notice he was still staring after me.

Just then Kelly came running up to me, "Oh my god I saw what happened! I cannot believe she would do that! She has always been jealous of you Mickie! Are you okay?"

"Yeah well she's going to pay, but I'm fine," I assured her, I looked back to where Randy had been standing earlier, and the place was now empty and he was nowhere in sight.

"What are you looking at?" Kelly asked me questioningly.

I turned to face my blonde friend and smiled, "Nothing, but I believe you are up for your segment next, so you should probably get ready," I reminded her.

"Oh right, I should probably get going. Okay so I will be back in a bit and we will talk about your match," and with one quick hug she was on her way to the ring.

I turned and headed towards the locker room and upon seeing that it was empty I breathed a sigh of relief. I took a seat on the couch and rested my head on the back. Did I not have the worst luck ever? Honestly if there was someone out there who had worse luck than I did, I would love to meet them. Okay fine, that is dramatic, and I am a lot better off than others, but not only do I lose my match, but I get double teamed and then of course I just have to run into my arrogant ex-boyfriend! What a night!

I turned my head towards the television, and thought of switching it on, but no doubt Randy Orton would somehow be on there, so I dismissed all thoughts of the TV. Instead, I lay down on the couch and closed my eyes.

I hadn't realized I dozed off until I heard a door slam and voices. I opened my eyes to see Kelly and Melina staring at me.

"I'm sorry did we wake you?" Kelly said apologetically.

"No, I just dozed off for a second," I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes, "I didn't mean to fall asleep."

Melina took a seat beside me, "Sorry about your match babe. Don't worry we will get her back somehow," she promised.

I laughed, "I have no doubt about that. So until that time comes around, I am going to go and take a shower," I patted her knee and then stood up. Kelly smiled as I passed her, and then I disappeared into the bathroom.

I took an exceptionally long shower; it was so relaxing after the hard day, and hesitated upon getting out. Finally I turned the taps off, and stepped out to dry myself off. I got dressed in shorts and a t-shirt and went back out to the main room.

"Hey, I'm gonna take off now. I'll meet you at the hotel later okay?" I announced.

"Okay lady, drive safe alright, and don't stop for strangers," Kelly replied while giving me a hug.

I laughed at her, "You always know how to make me laugh."

She looked at Melina, "What? I was being serious," she pouted.

"We know you were honey," Melina said faking a serious look and wrapping Kelly in a hug and then winking at me.

I smiled, then grabbed my bag and left the room. I couldn't help but feel exhausted as I was walking down the hall of the arena. My match hadn't even been that demanding, perhaps I was mentally tired, that would definitely make a ton more sense.

I pushed the door open and stepped out into the night. I felt a bit better as I breathed in a breath of fresh air. I stood there for a minute and turned back towards the door just enjoying the moment to turn around and smack –surprise, surprise – into the Viper again.

This was getting ridiculous, "Seriously! Would you leave me alone?" I practically shouted.

I noticed a hint of amusement on his face, "Hey, you are the one who walked into me . . . again."

He was right, but I didn't feel like putting up with him tonight, "Well maybe you need to re-evaluate the places that you choose to stand in!"

"And maybe you should learn respect for those who are clearly better than you," he retorted while motioning to himself. And as if a switch had been hit, his eyes filled with hate almost instantly.

I was taken aback by how threatening he looked, but I wasn't about to let him know he had the same affect on me that he did everyone else in the arena.

"You know what Randy; get off that damn high horse of yours. You may scare the majority of people on this roster, but I am not one of them!" I said defiantly.

"And why is that Mickie? Because I'm really hoping we can change that," he sneered and then took a step closer.

I stepped backwards and swallowed, a lump forming in the back of my throat and all the while not being able to tear my eyes away from his.

"Because of this," I managed to blurt out and pulled out my cell phone.

"Oh, what are you gonna do? Call someone for help," he sneered with a hint of sarcasm.

I managed to force a smile, "No, actually it just so happens I have a certain special someone on my number four speed dial."

"Oh no, I am so scared Mickie, I guess I should probably start running now," he replied sarcastically, "So tell me before I do, who is it that I should feel threatened by?"

"Your mother," I said with a sly smile creeping onto my face, "You see it's actually a funny story, because back when I dated you – god only knows why – she and I happened to be close, you know that," I reminded him and with each word I slowly regained my confidence, "What? You thought that would end because we did? She's like a second mother to me Randy; we talk more often than you would think."

I stared at his face, this was totally worth it. I don't think he was scared, so much as surprised about the fact that his mother still talked with his ex. His facial expression answered the question I had been wondering for years, he in fact did not know that his mother and I had stayed in touch.

"Good night Orton," I stated smugly, gave him a pat on the shoulder and walked off towards my car with a smile on my face.

So what did everyone think? I hope you liked it, definitely not the best one but I did like the scene with Ted and Mickie. More Randy and Mickie to come as well in the following chapters.

Did everyone watch Raw this week? It was classic, probably the best episode I have seen in a really long time. I loved the loyalty and team work between the Raw superstars!
