1…2…3. The bell sounded and the referee raised Edge's hand in victory, as his music theme echoed across the arena as he handed the newly crowned Intercontinental champion the title belt. Ali, Dave and Ric stood in the locker room watching the TV monitor while Eugene played with his action figures in the corner, Ali gasped and covered her mouth with her hand "He lost" she whispered
"Oh man" Dave sat down on the sofa
"Dave lets get out of here" Ric said
"What? Where you two going?" Ali asked
"Well Randy is going to be pissed off, and upset and the last thing he wants is all of us hanging around here"
"Fine I'm coming to?"
"You can't, you're his best friend, if he's going to talk to any one, it's going to be you," Ric told her, and before Ali could say anything Dave and Ric scurried out the locker room. Ali sat on the sofa watching the door in suspense just waiting for it to open.
"Will Randy be mad?" asked a worried Eugene
Ali looked at him, he head down as shuffling his feet nervously
"He'll be very angry Eugene; I suggest you stay well out of his way ok go find Triple H yeah"
Eugene nodded and he skipped out the locker room with his action figures, Ali couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry for him, but that soon past as the door opened with force and an almighty bang that echoed around the locker room, Ali nearly jumped out of her skin. She looked to see a Randy Orton strolling in to the locker room, a towel around his neck, not even a glance to who was in there; Ali rose to her feet and followed the glum Evolution member.
"Randy hun… you ok?"
Randy pressed his forehead against the cold yellow wall it felt refreshing.
"Sorry that's a stupid question," Ali added
"Yeah it is" Randy answered quietly still staring blankly at the wall, a bead of sweat dripping from the end of his nose "it's not fair Ali, I did every thing to get that title, and no it's gone"
"Sweetie," she placed a hand on his shoulder "you still got your rematch clause. You'll get it back"
"Yeah sure" he said in a cold sarcastic tone, felt a tear roll down his check but he wiped it away before Ali noticed
"Hey look at me" Ali pulled Randy off the wall and stood him in front of her, he looked exhausted, breathing heavily, the sweat from his body glistened in the light, "You're the Legend Killer, your going to get that title back around your waist, even if it kills you. Besides you can do so much better than the Intercontinental title, think about it, the next title you could be going for could be The World Heavyweight Championship"
Randy laughed "yeah sure I could, come on Ali lets be realistic here"
"I'm serious; you would make the best World Champ in history, not to mention the youngest,"
"Randy Orton, the World Heavyweight Champion. Sounds pretty awesome" he smiled "But it will never happen."
"How do you know, I guarantee by Summer Slam you'll be World Heavyweight Champion" she was now also smiling
"You sure no how to cheer me up Ali"
"It's a gift; some people are born with it"
Randy smile grew, his baby blue eyes looking deeply into her emerald green eyes, she fluttered her eyelashes at him, Randy went to make an advance on her, when the door to the locker room opened slightly and Dave poked his head around the door
"Hey Ali can I have a word with you"
Ali nodded and walked out the locker room with Dave. Randy collapsed on the sofa, he was closer than ever this time, another missed opportunity at him and Ali's getting together, but he wasn't going to stop there he and Ali were going to be together by the end of the night, no matter what it takes.
Meanwhile out side the locker room Dave pulled Ali to the other side of the hallway, away form the locker room door
"How is he?" Dave asked
"He's ok" Ali answered with a smile
"What no shouting, screaming, hissy fits?"
"Nothing, he just accepted it"
"Ali I don't know what it is, but you got it girl, nobody can calm him down after he loses a match, takes at least 2/3 hours tops but you did it in under 5 minuets, I'm impressed"
Ali smiled even more, she linked arms with him, and they headed to the locker room. But before they even reached the door, La Resistance made there way towards them happy about there victory tonight, and not looking where they were heading, plowed straight into Dave and Alicia, luckily before she hit the floor Dave caught Ali in his arms,
"Hey Watch Where Your Going!" Dave shouted at them
They started to say things in French towards them, and stormed off, still speaking in French. Dave shook his head
"You ok Ali?" he asked her
"I got something in my eye" she blinked
"Let me look" Dave moved in to take a closer look
Back in the locker room Randy is now fully dressed and on a mission. To get Ali, he made his way to the door, pulled it open to see Dave and Ali standing there, Dave with his arms around her, to Randy it looked like Dave and Ali were kissing. He shut the door again, and leaned against it. He felt his heart sink to his stomach and shatter into thousands of pieces. He felt anger build up inside him, but he could not blame anyone, as he did not tell anyone. He was too late he walked over to the sofa and sat there his head in his hands and his elbows resting on his knees.
"You got an eyelash, hold still," Dave said and gently picking out the eyelash in her eye, the heard the door slam in front of them, Dave and Ali stared blankly at it.
"What was that?" Ali asked
Dave shrugged, "lets find out" Dave pushed open the door and Ali strolled in followed by Dave.
