Summary: You will most likely see references that look unusual. You would need to read the first story of the Series. That's When I'll Stop Loving You. It was written by me, and followed by other stories and one-shots created by Kennedy's Friday Night Delight. I recommend you read them, just to fully understand the jokes.
A blonde female by the name of Ashley Logan sat in a black chair, a book in her hands. She was watching the crew set up the ring for the show that night, and with nothing better to do, she grabbed a book from her bag to bring along with her.
She glanced down at her hands and she smiled. Her boyfriend of a year, and best friend from forever, had asked her to marry him. And although it's been about a week since he proposed, she still got butterflies when she looked at the ring.
A pair of large hands covered her eyes, and for a moment, she stilled. When they pulled away, Ashley smiled up at the blonde man. Ken sat down in the chair next to her.
"You done with the power ranger yet?" Ken and MVP, who Ashley and their friends referred to as the 'power ranger', were placed in a match that night and they needed to go over what was going to happen.
"Yeah, about damn time too." He rested his head back against the seat for a minute, before grabbing her hand and standing up. The ring was up, and a couple of the superstars who had a match tonight were currently training. The two blondes walked backstage and into the catering area.
A group of their friends were sitting at a table, eating. A flash of blonde ran towards them, and Ashley screamed as she was crushed in a pair of large arms. The bush of blonde hair pulled back, and Adam's face came into view.
"Ashley Marie, how come you didn't tell me about this?" He held up her left hand, which sported her engagement ring. The shorter woman laughed and pulled her hand away from her friend.
"If you had been at Matt's party you would know, since Kaytie yelled it out to the world." She grinned at the other woman who was sitting in Jeff's lap. Grabbing a bottle of water, she linked her elbow with the other blonde and the two walked towards the Diva's locker room, leaving the guys behind.
Ken shook his head and turned towards the table with food. He hadn't eaten since lunch and he was really hungry.
Ashley and Kaytie walked down the hall, giggling about nothing in particular. Opening the door to the diva's locker room, they were met with loud music. Victoria and Natalya were dancing around the room, while Maria and Maryse were sitting there laughing at them. Steam pouring out of the bathroom meant that Ziva was taking a shower.
Maryse, who had previously been friends with Michelle, Eve and the Bella Twins, had long since abandoned them, and had joined forces with the good side. And she had given her private locker room to the four girls to be with her new friends.
"Ash! Come dance with me!" Victoria grabbed the younger girls arm and dragged her to the middle of the room, where she proceeded to dance like a crazy person. Kaytie and Nattie were sitting down, going over their segment that they were supposed to do later that night. Ziva emerged from the bathroom in a pair of jeans and a t shirt, with a towel wrapped around her head.
Later that night, Smackdown was going strong. The babyface Kaytie and the heel Natalya had done their segment perfectly and were now chilling in the diva's locker room with the other girls.
A match was about to start, and the first competetor was making his way to the ring. Carlito, who along with his brother were turning heel with their girlfriends, was walking down the stage to the ramp with Nikki at his side.
A moment later, the music changed and Hurricane Helms walked down the ramp by himself.
Halfway into the match, Hurricane had gained the upper hand, and Nikki wasn't very happy about it. She stood on the apron, grabbing the ref's attention as Helms went for the pin. Frustrated, the brunette man walked over to where the girl stood, and yelled at her to get down. The woman didn't listen, and continued to stand there while Carlito got a chance to rest up, and try to stand.
Motion in the crowd had caught Hurricane's eye, and he smirked as a girl climbed over the barrier. Without a second thought, he turned around and kicked Carlito in the back of the knee, causing him to fall down again.
Brown and purple hair dashed over to the ring, and in the next moment, Nikki no long stood on the arpon. She was doubled over clutching her head, which had hit the side of the ring when her legs were pulled from under her.
People in the crowd started to cheer as Jaycee spun the young girl around and planted her boot into Nikki's stomach... many times. As the young diva took a moment to recover, Jay climbed on to the barrier. She knew she was gonna get herself hurt, but it would sooo be worth it.
Nikki Bella turned around just in time to see Jaycee diving towards her. The brunette grabbed the girls head, and proceeded to do a front flip, before slamming Nikki's head into the arena floor. He head was next to the girls, and she started seeing spots.
Carlito watched the whole thing happen, and was standing at the ropes, yelling when Hurricane pulled him into a quick roll up. Getting the pin, the brunette man slid out of the ring and helped his friend to her feet.
Jaycee was more than a little unsteady as she and Greg walked up the ramp to the cheers of the crowd. Taking a moment to catch her breath, the two parted ways backstage and headed to their respective dressing rooms.
Pushing open the door, Jay started singing.
"Guess who's back? Back Again. Jaycee's back, tell a friend!" Maria screamed and nearly tackled her friend as she hugged her. The two tumbled to the floor, and Jay released a whimpered 'ow.' The girls stood up and Jaycee was again tackled, but this time by Ashley.
"Why didn't you tell me you were gonna come back tonight?" The blonde woman smiled as she and her friends sat down, much to the relief of the brunette.
"I planned on telling you, but Jeff and Greg had this great idea of me coming from the crowd where no one would suspect me, so we went with that." She greatfully took an icepack from Maryse and gingerly held it to her head.
Someone knocked on the door, and after receiving an answer, Jay was again placed in a hug. Matt hadn't known about the plan, and while hugging his friend, he was a little more gentle than the two women. Ken was next and he laughed and said something about her always making a huge entrance.
Ever the big brother, Matt insisted that she get checked out by the EMT, and Ashley agreed, hoping to see the Bella twins while they were there. She had talked to Stephanie, and they were currently in the process of turning her face and introducing her into another storyline with Ken, since the two were getting married.
Jaycee and Ashley, along with Jeff and Matt walked down to the trainer's office where the EMT stood waiting, talking about nothing in particular. The boys had filled her in on a storyline that had them going against each other when Jay sat down on the table.
Nikki was escorted in the room with Carlito in tow as the trainer checked over the brunette. Glares were exchanged, and Ashley couldn't help but giggle as she realized that Nikki's gaze had wondered to her left.
"Jay, I seriously think you did something to her. She can't even see straight!" The blonde continued to laugh, even after the four left the office.
A few hours later, after Ken's match, the group of friends were sitting in the car driving to the hotel where they would stay at. Ashley, who was sitting in the passenger's seat looked back and smiled. At a red light, she poked her fiancee in the arm, then pointed behind them. Matt was leaning against the window, his gaze somewhere outside as Ziva was leaning against him. He was playing with her hair and she was messing around with her iPod.
Greg and Maryse were in the row behind them. The brunette man had his head resting on the back of the seat, his mouth wide open and snoring slightly while the blonde woman was curled up against him, her head on his shoulder. Both were out like a light. Kaytie had taken a cab to the airport. She had planned on going home for a while, to visit with her family. In the last row were the two J's. Jeff had his feet on the seat in front of him, placed away from Greg's head. His body was at an angle, but he didn't seem to mind it much. Jaycee was leaning against him, her head on his shoulder. They were talking quietly, trying not to wake the two people in front of them.
The group was finally back together, with the exception of Shannon. Ashley smiled again. Her buddy seemed to finally be okay with being released from the WWE. He was working more at the Tattoo shop, and was wrestling local indy shows, but he seemed happy.
With a content sigh, Ash curled up in the passenger seat, knowing that when they got to the hotel, Ken would wake her up.
The next one should be up in a little while. Maybe tomorrow, idk. Things have been kinda hectic lately, and i haven't really had a chance to sit down and write something start-to-finish.
anyway.. ENJOY!
