Randy sat alone in the large locker room; he sat on a long wooden bench pushed against a cream yellow wall opposite the door. He sat contemplating the last 24 hours; the lost of his beloved title, telling Dave his true feelings for Alicia and continued to drinking long after Dave had left. He sighed and rested his head in his hands. His head throbbing like it was being pummelled with a lead pipe repeatedly; he has some serious hangover problems.
"Good Evening" called a cheery voice, Randy looked up to see Ali, wide eyed with a huge smile on her face, she seemed very cheerful.
"How come you're not affected?" Randy groaned referring to the 'gallons' of alcohol Ali engulfed last night.
"I know how to handle my drink; it's in my genes," she smiled "oh and just a heads up, Paul's on a rampage"
"How come?"
"Well it dawned on his the morning, after he sobered up that he wasn't the champ,"
Randy sneered "boy, is Eugene going to get it tonight."
Randy delved into his gym bag and pulled out a small parcel wrapped in pink paper and tied up with purple ribbon
"Happy Birthday" he smiled and handed Ali the parcel, she squeaked and tore the wrapping off, inside was a small blue box, she opened it to reveal a shiny sliver heart shaped locket,
She gasped "Oh Randy"
"You like it?" Randy asked nervously
"It's Beautiful. I love it Randy"
"Only the best for my girl" he smiled, she hugged him and he took it out the box and placed it around her neck, he moved her crimson red hair off her neck and the sent of her perfume drifted. Its was heavily, He clipped the catch of the locket and moved her hair back. She smiled
"Thank you" she kissed him on the cheek and went to her luggage over in the far corner. Randy blushed but turned sharply so Ali couldn't see.
The locker room started to slowly fill up, Dave soon entered followed by Ric and last a very irate Paul pushed the door open with so much force it slammed against the wall and nearly broke in half. He's face bright red, and was breathing heavily. Nobody dared talk to him the argued among them self's when Dave, Randy and Ric all pushed Ali forward
"P…Paul, you ok?"
He glared at her, his eyes dark
"Do I look fine?" he said through gritted teeth
"Well… not really"
"Well Then I'm Not Fine!" he snapped at her, she jumped back, looking rather scared and Randy put his arms around her
"But its obvious now right? The second Eugene walks through that door…"
"We'll kill him" Ric said bravely
"That's right but no matter what, I get the first shot ok" Paul told them
"Whoa hold on Paul I should go first I had to take the guy to chucky cheese…"
"Chucky Cheese! I'm Ric Flair; last night was the most embarrassing night of my life…"
"You were embarrassed! He violated me; he used to stare at me like I was a piece of meat. He's a sick pervert, who's probably never had a girl friend in his life." Ali said snuggling close to Randy still a little scared of Paul
"Yeah exactly, and he cost me the intercontinental title last night. He put me in a match 6 days before hand…"
"Hey!" Paul interrupted "NO one, lost more than I did"
There was a knock at the door
"Just follow my lead" Paul whispered
A nervous looking Eugene entered, his thumb in his mouth, he looked from Ric to Dave to Ali to Randy who all looked angry and aggressive and finally to Paul, who's expression had changed suddenly from a bad tempered frown to a huge beaming smile an Eugene was a little taken aback along with the other 4.
"Triple H I messed up last night, I made a mistake, I'm sorry"
"What you talking about Eugene? Don't worry about it"
"But… aren't you mad? he looks mad at me" Eugene said pointing to Dave
"Yeah Batista looks pretty mad, but hey every one makes mistakes Eugene and guess what, I'm not mad at you, I'm your friend…"
The remaining 4 Evolution members turned there attention from Eugene to Paul mortified at what he had just said
"…and friends are friends. But I do know some one who is really mad at you and that's your Uncle Eric" Paul said putting his arm around Eugene's shoulder "so why don't you run along and see what he has to say"
"Ok" Eugene makes his way out the locker room, Randy lunges forward to make his attack but Paul holds him back, Eugene turns back to apologize once more and leaves.
Randy made sure that Eugene was out of ear shot
"What the hell was that! Follow Your Lead! Why didn't we just beat the crap out of him there?"
"Trust me when you hear what Eric tells him then you will understand" he smirked.
Later on The show is drawing to a close, Dave and Randy are in the locker room, Dave was working out with his CD walkman blasting music into his ears and Randy sat on the bench reading a magazine softly singing alone with Dave's loud music, when Ric and Ali both walked in looking bewildered
"He can't be serious? That's his big plan?" Ali asked and Ric just shrugged
"What?" Randy asked
"What Uncle Eric has surprised for Eugene" Ric said
"A World Title shot! Its Ridiculous!" Ali blurted out
Randy dropped his magazine "What?"
"What?" Dave asked as he took his head phones off
"Eugene's got a world title shot" Randy told him "He got one before I did" Said miserably
Dave laughed "funny. Is it April 1st already?"
"Dave were serious" Ali reassured him
Dave looked in shock at them "Why?"
"Beats me" Ric said "I think Paul maybe behind this"
"Ya think" Ali and Randy both said sarcastically in unison
"As long as it don't ruin to night I don't care" Ali said "You guys still coming to my big birthday bash right?"
"Course we will," Dave said
"Not even Eugene can stop us" Randy smiled
"Cool, I'll be back, I'm going to remind the girls" Ali said as she hurried out the locker room
Ric pulled out his Cell Phone to answer a call he walked out the locker room to get a better signal.
"You told her yet?" Dave asked Randy
"No" Randy said bringing his legs up to his chest and embracing his knees
"Why not?" Dave asked sitting next to him
"It's not that simple Dave I got to find the right time"
"Tonight, tell her tonight. If you don't then I'll tell her"
"Ok, I'll do it tonight" Randy said with a sigh.
