Mary had recently dyed her brunette locks black with bright red streaks. She knew that the attire for the night was a little on the formal side for the wedding. Even the rookie Divas wore cocktail dresses for the opening segment. Mary wasn't having any of that, though. She pulled out her "Gothic school girl" costume from the previous Halloween and wore that for the occasion. For most of the program, Mary stuck to the shadows backstage. Which was a little on the difficult part, seeing as how that episode was mostly comprised of backstage segments. After the kissing contest, in which Cody got to kiss all of the girls, except Aksana, who was getting ready for the wedding, AJ and Primo were shown backstage looking for a place to talk. Everywhere they turned hijinks ensued. Mary's favorite part was when they caught Kaitlyn making out with Dolph Ziggler. This made up for the fact that Mary didn't get to spend any time with her new friend during the program.
After getting to kiss all of the girls, Mary was waiting for Cody backstage with a huge grin on her face. She knew that even out of character, Cody enjoyed that segment. There was a glisten in her eyes, which made Cody wait for her to speak. She licked her lips before just before simply saying "damn!" and grinning even wider before.
"Okay, Farooq," he chuckled. "I take it you liked that? Or are you jealous?"
"And what pray tell, would I have to be jealous of, Mister Dashing?" she looked up at him innocently with her piercing blue eyes.
"Well, four girls did get to kiss me. Unless..." he smirked, knowing that she was bisexual.
"I won't lie, I've thought about it," she shrugged.
"She is cute. I think that she looks up to you, too." He looked around, "where is she, anyway?"
Mary giggled, "her and Primo are wandering around backstage, looking for a place to talk privately, all while coming across hilarious scenarios. I think that your dad and the Bellas are involved."
Cody rolled his eyes, "of course. He would totally hit on them."
Mary visibly shuddered, "I really can't stand them."
"I know how that is," he smiled. "Some of the Divas are ridiculous. I feel bad for you."
She took a deep breath and sighed, "maybe someday I'll prove myself, and they'll let me go against the guys."
"And make me worry every time," he pouted.
Mary rolled her eyes, "I went up against plenty of guys in OVW. Some were nearly twice my size."
"But I didn't have to see that," he sighed.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you had a thing for me," she smirked.
He shrugged, "more in a sisterly way, I believe."
"Right," she laughed as she saw some cameras coming in their direction. "Unless we want to be the next crazy scenario AJ and Primo run into, I think we should disappear."
Cody nodded, slipping away with his friend.
Later in the program, Mary went over what she would be doing in her head once more, she walked to the gorilla position during the wedding. Ted DiBiase Jr. and Maryse had just walked out onto the stage and Ted Sr. was getting ready for his entrance.
"Oh... hey Mister DiBiase," Mary bit her lip. Dustin hadn't told her that the DiBiases would be there. Otherwise, she may have declined the offer to show up. Mary hadn't seen Ted's father much since the brief period of time that she stayed with them while she was pregnant.
Ted Sr. turned to the girl next to him, giving her a quick look over. "Wait... Mary Williams?"
She sighed, nodding. "It's just a cheesy gimmick for the segment, I swear."
The older man chuckled, nodding. "I know that you would do anything to protect those boys, and it's obvious that Aksana is up to no good." He smiled, pausing as his music started, "I'll see you out there."
Mary nodded, taking a deep breath as the older gentleman made his way out onto the entrance ramp. She listened to the exchange between father and son with a laugh.
Ted looked Mary up and down, swallowing visibly as he and Maryse walked backstage. "Mare?"
Mary couldn't help but laugh as her old boyfriend lost his cool at the sight of her. "Hi Teddy Bear," she said sweetly with a grin as she was getting ready to come out as a bad-ass in Goldust's defense.
"I didn't know you were going to be here," Ted tugged at his collar.
Mary shared a smirk with Maryse, "I'm about to join the feud. Do you think you can handle it?" She quickly looked away as her music began to play, which was just as Aksana was leaving the ring.
Mary walked out onto the entrance ramp with a look of pure rage on her face. She had enough of Aksana's bullshit, and her body language spoke on many volumes of the fact. AJ, Kaitlyn, Naomi, Kelly Kelly, and Alicia Fox cheered her on as she stared down the wannabe coming up the ramp. When the tiny, then blonde, saw the intimidating woman merely feet front of her, the smug look immediately vanished. Back in the ring, the men who were just in the wedding were laughing at the sight in front of them.
Aksana began to slowly back away in fear, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have slapped him. I just didn't want to kiss him."
Mary shook her head in disgust. "Then shake his hand or kiss his cheek. You've just made a very dangerous enemy."
"No. No, please!" Aksana trembled as she continued backing away.
Mary took a step toward the other woman, "boo."
Aksana spun around, running around the ring to get away from the other woman. Mary just laughed, giving the other woman a head start before going after her, catching up to her at the announcers table. She grabbed Aksana's veil, ripping it off as she yanked her around. She grinned deviously as Aksana pleaded with her some more. Mary just shook her head and picked the other woman up and body slammed her onto the floor.
"You sure you still wanna do this?" she laughed as Goldust and Cody jumped out of the ring, each taking one of Mary's arms to prevent her from doing any further damage. "But I was just starting to have fun," she pouted.
"We'll get you a match with her next week," Goldust chuckled.
Mary sighed with a nod. "Fine." She let the brothers walk her up the ramp as she show ended.
AJ and Kaitlyn were waiting for her backstage with grins on their faces. "That was awesome!" AJ grinned, hugging Mary.
"Thanks," Mary giggled as she returned the hug.
They all walked backstage as Kaitlyn held her hand out to Mary, "hi, I'm Celeste Bonin."
Mary grinned, shaking the other girl's hand, "that's such a pretty name."
"But I guess it didn't fit my character," Kaitlyn shrugged.
"Can you hang out tonight?" AJ pouted at Mary.
Mary took a deep breath, "I just need to change and make a call, depending on what you want to do."
Kaitlyn smiled, "just dinner. We're too tired to go out for drinks after that."
"Perfect," Mary smiled. "Do you mind if my son tags along?"
"Of course not!" AJ bounced a little before heading back to the locker room with Kaitlyn.
"Such a spark plug," Dustin grinned.
Mary nodded, "that's why I'm keeping her." She grinned as she followed the other Divas back to the locker room area.
Ten minutes later, Mary met with the two younger Divas outside of the locker room with Cody and Dustin close by. "My sitter should be here in a couple of minutes to drop of Marcus."
"Awesome!" AJ smiled. "I love babies."
Mary took a deep breath, looking to Dustin and Cody. "He's not exactly a baby."
"So how old is he?" Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow.
"He's uh..." Mary bit her lip. "He is ten."
"But you're... I thought you were twenty-five," AJ's eyes went wide.
Just as she was about to respond, she heard Aksana in the distance. "What do you mean we're not actually married? How am I going to use him to get exposure now?"
Mary's eyes narrowed as Cody stepped over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Pick your battles."
"Oh, I plan on it. Like I said a bit ago, she's made a very dangerous enemy." She looked over to Dustin. "You going to be okay with this?"
Dustin grinned, "it will take a lot more than that to get one over on Goldust."
Mary nodded as the group made their way out to the parking garage, just as a car pulled up to them. She waited for the car to stop and watched a young boy get out, running over to Dustin and Cody. She smirked, rolling her eyes as she waited for her son to greet his uncles.
"I see he knows the Rhodes boys well," AJ smiled.
Mary smiled, "I moved in with Cody and their dad when I was about six months pregnant. Cody actually helped out a lot until I moved out when I went to OVW."
"So his father?" Kaitlyn raised an eyebrow.
"X-Pac," Mary nodded. "He was drunk and in a rage against WCW while I was working there."
Both of the younger girls nodded, deciding to not further question what happened, seeing as how they knew how young she was when she worked with WCW.
Marcus walked over to his mother, smiling at the other girls. "They're pretty, mama."
Mary nodded with a grin. "Yes, they are, buddy. This is AJ and Celeste."
Marcus shook hands with the other girls. "Mama, can Uncle Dustin and Uncle Cody come to eat with us?"
Mary looked up to her friends, who shrugged. "I don't see why not, buddy. Let's get going." The group all went out together, the girls getting to know Marcus and Mary, starting out an incredibly close friendship.
