Chapter Seven – Jawbreaker

DX Office, WWE Production, St. Louis, Missouri:

Candice Michelle skipped into Shawn and Hunter's office with an uninvited guest.

"Jeff what are you doing give me my baby!" Hunter said taking Aurora from him.

"There's something I have to tell you boss and you're not gonna like it," Jeff started nervously reaching into his pocket for some colorful courage in the form of Skittles.

"If you say you're leaving for TNA again you're not coming back, ever!" Hunter snapped.

"No I'm not leaving for TNA, its---"

"Jeff I'm sure whatever it is can wait, right now we have to talk to Candice about something very serious," Shawn said and Candice Michelle swallowed hard at the stern look in HBK's eyes as he zoned in on her.

"Okay," Jeff said and turned to leave dumping a whole load of Skittles into his mouth. Aurora flailed her hands excitedly at the sign of the multi-colored candies.

"No sweetie you can't have those, not until you're old enough to brush," Hunter said and Jeff slunk away from the door weary of what Hunter would do to him if he found out Aurora already had eaten one.

"I'm a dead man," he said and closed the door behind him.

Candice sat down in front of the co-owners of the WWE and tried not to look as nervous as she was.

"What is this all about guys, aren't you glad I'm back?" she asked veiling her fear that her illegal substance abuse had been uncovered.

"We couldn't be happier to see you back Candice. What we wanna talk to you about is the way you've come back," Shawn started.

"I don't understand what you mean," Candice said and Hunter decided to leave Shawn to it, he was much better at confrontation than he was.

"Come on Ro-Ro lets go see what the Rainbow Haired Warrior wanted to talk to me about," he said to Aurora, "Wow your breath sure smells sweet, what have you been eating?" Hunter wondered but Aurora didn't answer she just burped instead.

Meanwhile back in DX office Shawn came around his desk and faced Candice Michelle eye-to-eye.

"I think you understand exactly what I mean Candice," Shawn said and lifted up the bag of multi-colored capsules that looked like Skittles but Candice pretended not to know what they were.

"What are those Skittles?" she said playing dumb.

"They look like Skittles don't they, but they're not. They're illegal performance enhancing drugs cleverly disguised to look like candy and this bag was sold from an online drug mule to one user i-can:d yesterday afternoon," Shawn said and gave Candice to website print out with her IP address details on it, "Does any of that information look familiar?" Shawn asked and Candice gave the papers back to him.

"I don't know who i-can: d is," Candice lied.

"Well my son does and he's working with a very reliable source in fact I would call him the Source of All Things," Shawn said.

"Well you're gonna need a better witness than the Holy Father if you're going to accuse me of taking drugs," Candice Michelle said.

"Candice don't do this, you don't wanna go down this road okay I've been there its dark, its lonely and it's dangerous. I know this is you, you are i-can:d!" Shawn said getting riled up.

"Why thank you that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me," Candice joked.

"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" Shawn roared and Candice fell back onto the floor in fright as Shawn's Righteous Indignation took center stage.

"Please don't hurt me!" Candice cried out and Shawn cooled down and helped Candice back into her chair.

"I'd never hurt you Candice, but this is no laughter matter please don't joke around. If you come clean I can help you but if you lie to me and continue to take this stuff you'll leave me no choice but to fire you and I really don't want to do that," Shawn said.

"Okay I'll stop taking them," Candice said.

"You promise?" Shawn asked her hoping she wasn't lying to him.

"I promise," Candice said.

"I'm glad to hear that Candice, I've arranged for you to be tested next door," Shawn informed her and the color from the former Women's Champion's face fell.

"You want me to take a drug test?" Candice Michelle said.

"I have to have proof don't I?" Shawn said.

"But I told you I won't do it again?" Candice said.

"I know, this is your first strike," Shawn replied softly not wanting to upset Candice any further.

"Two more strikes and I'm gone," she said more to herself than to Shawn who nodded.

"Those are the rules of the WWE drug policy and we all have to adhere to them," Shawn said and Candice felt sick, she realized that she had put her career at risk and she was going to go on record as being a drug abuser. She threw herself at Shawn's feet taking the co-owner of the WWE by surprise.

"Please don't test me Shawn, I won't do it again I swear!" Candice pleaded her mascara running down her cheeks and her face wet with tears. Shawn felt terrible and suddenly memories of Rebecca's last days came flooding back to him; her drunkenness, her whoring around with the Kliq, her lack of self-esteem, it all was looking back up at him in the form of a young woman who too wanted to have a second chance at life.

"Okay Candice I won't test you," Shawn said pulling a handkerchief from his jacket and handing it to the distressed Diva, "just don't take anymore of this stuff okay and we'll forget the whole thing,"

"You promise?" Candice asked sniffing and wiping her nose.

"I promise," Shawn reassured her with a warm Texas smile and Candice flung her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you so much!" she cried ecstatically and Shawn got real hot and she pulled away from him, "What just happened?"

Shawn held up his married finger and Candice laughed, "I'm married to a fiery red-head, well she's actually a brunette but she won't let the dye grow out,"

"I can't blame her, Lita's been a red-head since she was part of Team Xtreme and look what that hair's done for her. She's one lucky gal, I mean blessed gal," Candice said.

"I know," Shawn smiled modestly, "I want you to go home now okay, take the time to get 100 percent rehabilitated, then when your shoulder's completely healed you can get a shot at the Women's Championship," Shawn said and Candice nodded.

"Alright boss," Candice said with a smile she then blew HBK a kiss and walked out the door. Shawn crashed into his chair and sighed.

"Thank you God, she's gonna be alright," Shawn said but the drama had only just begun.

"Shawn come quick something happened to my brother!" Jeff Hardy said bursting through the door almost knocking Candice over on the way. Shawn ran behind him to the rec room to see what all the commotion was about, he saw Matt Hardy, MVP, Undertaker and Hunter but he didn't see anything wrong with them.

"Everything looks alright here Jeff," Shawn said confused but he spoke too soon.

"Oh my God it's Shawn Michaels!" Hunter said but there was something different about him; his voice, his mannerisms were extremely youthful.

"My brother used to have the biggest crush on you," Matt Hardy said to Shawn and Jeff shushed him and Candice and Shawn tried to understand exactly what was going on.

"I like what you've got going on with the cowboy look, very Brokeback Mountain," MVP added and Shawn burst out laughing.

"Okay guys stop, enough's enough very funny ya'll pretending to be gay probably betting that I'd lay my Kiss of Life on one of you so you could lay it on one of the Divas like MVP did with Trish Stratus," Shawn said convinced this was a rib, "Well it ain't gonna happen so cut it out,"

"Candice that outfit is fierce Miss. Thang!" Undertaker said in the gayest voice possible.

"Shawn make them stop, we gotta run through tonight's matches," Jeff said getting really annoyed.

"Taker quit it," Shawn said and Jeff and Candice rolled their eyes.

"That's telling them Shawn," Candice said sarcastically.

"Guys we've got a show tonight and if you don't start acting right I'm gonna get real hot up in this place and I know you don't want that!" Shawn said and Hunter, Matt, MVP and Undertaker started laughing.

"Isn't he just adorable, look at the way his cheeks are getting all red," Taker said pinching Shawn's cheeks, looking into The Deadman's eyes Shawn realized that something seriously wasn't right. The dark orbs of menace were gone and in their place were bright eyes dancing like a baby. Shawn looked over at Hunter, Matt Hardy and MVP: they had the same expression of childlike innocence.

"They must be emo," Candice Michelle said.

"They're not emo, they're children!" Shawn gasped and shook Hunter back and forth, "What happened in the last 15 minutes to make you act like this?!" he demanded and Hunter gave him an innocent look.

"What's wrong Shawn Michaels, don't you wanna play with us?" Hunter asked cocking his head to the side innocently.

"Play? Hunter we've got a show to put on there's no time to play, you have to go over the matches and these guys have to wrestle in them!" Shawn said blown away but this bizarre turn of events.

"You mean we can't play?" Matt Hardy said his big brown eyes enlarging like a puppy.

"You mean we have to work?" Undertaker added his green eyes disappearing behind pools of water and he burst out crying, and Matt, MVP and Hunter weren't far behind him and Shawn looked over at Jeff, particularly at the baby in his arms.

"What did you do?" Shawn said pinning this bizarre behavior down to The Hurricane and she responded by burping in his face. A sweet smell came out of her mouth but only Jeff knew what it was and it was too late to do anything about it, seconds after the sweet smell of colored candy hit the air Shawn's eyes swelled, his face lit up and the house show in St. Louis later on tonight was long forgotten.

"Let's play!" Shawn said running through the door with Hunter, MVP, Matt Hardy and Undertaker behind him and Candice watched them run down the halls, crashing over crates, running into stage hands and make-up artists like kindergarten kids.

"What on Earth just happened Jeff?" Candice said as the wrestlers and co-owners disappeared out of the arena and into the parking lot.

"Aurora ate one of my Skittles," Jeff Hardy explained, "the Skittle must have combined with her supernatural power to turn Matt, MVP, Taker and DX into children!" Jeff reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell-phone.

"What are you doing?" Candice asked.

"Go after them make sure they don't get run over. I'm gonna call Amy I'm gonna tell her what happened so she can ask The ARK Angels to fix it before the show tonight," Jeff said but Candice stopped him from dialing and Jeff looked at her confused, "What are you doing?"

Before he could stop her Candice kicked Jeff in the nuts, she took Aurora when he keeled over in pain then she hit Jeff with the Candywrapper knocking Jeff out completely. She took the remaining Skittles out of his pocket and put them in her own, Aurora grew excited at the sight of them.

"Nighty night Jeffrey," she said pocketing the candy and giving one to Aurora, "Let's go visit the rest of the male locker room, with you by my side the Divas can finally take our rightful place at center stage of the WWE and they'll be no more misogynist dinosaurs to get in our way!"

Aurora sucked the Skittle down while Candice took a "Skittle" of her own, she never intended to go back home to Milwaukee and get clean and now there was no one around to make her.
