A/N: The chapters are starting to get less pointless and short, and starting to really get into the story. I've noticed the humor in K&C's relationship has pretty much disappeared, but I promise it will be back in... 2-3 chapters time.

Katie looked at Cody. She let out a deep, shaky breath. Cody patted her on the shoulder.
"You're gonna do great, Katie" he reassured her, but it didn't really help.
Katie closed her eyes and tried to ignore the sound of the crowd chanting for her. Melina was waiting for her. The crowd was waiting. This was it. This was her moment. She opened her eyes, and turned around to face Cody.
"I'm nervous. I don't get nervous. What— Cody, I—"
Cody pulled Katie into a hug and patted her on the back.
"You're the best female wrestler I've ever seen. You'll be fine. You're gonna win"
Katie's theme music started playing, so she took a deep breath, took Cody by the hand, and made her entrance.

Melina fell to the outside, and all Katie could think about was the championship she had been shown at the start of the match by referee Jack Doane. She had to win it. It was her destiny. She had won the title twice before, but somehow this time was different. She was better now. She had improved, and the other Superstars noticed her more. The crowd once again began to chant her name, so Katie psyched herself up. Cody applauded from the outside. Katie waited for Melina to come back into the ring, before reassuming her assault. A straight kick to the side of her head had Melina stumbling, but she wasn't down. Katie lifted her up, and went for a Samoan Drop, one of Katie's signature moves. Melina reversed it, pushing Katie towards the ropes. She rebounded, and used the momentum to give Melina a ring-shaking spinebuster.
Melina arched her back in pain and let out her signature scream. Katie winced, but ran over to the corner turnbuckle. She climbed to the very top, and performed a perfect moonsault onto the prone Melina. Katie held the back of her head in pain, and retreated to the corner for a break. She had landed a little bit funny on her neck, and it was hurting a lot. She'd had neck trouble in the past, so this was not good. Katie shook her head, refocused herself, and went back to Melina. She lifted her up, and threw Melina on her shoulders, about to do a Samoan Drop. Melina reversed it and went for the California Dream. Katie reversed it again, putting Melina in position for the double-under hook power bomb finisher known as the Danger Zone. She was about to execute the move, and most likely win the Women's championship, when the crowd got even louder, and a movement outside the ring caught Katie's eye.
She pushed Melina to the corner, and made her way over to the side of the ring, furious. She clenched her fists in an attempt to restrain her anger, but it wasn't working. Cody and Matt were brawling outside the ring. Why Matt had to choose her championship match, of all times and places, to pick a fight with Cody was beyond her, but he had. Cody and Matt were exchanging wild punches, swearing at each other while they did.
"HEY! What the hell are you morons doing?!"
Needless to say, Rhodes and Hardy didn't hear her. Katie threw her hands in the air.
"GUYS!"
Cody looked up briefly, but ignored Katie. Katie pulled off one of her elbow pads and threw it at them. It hit Matt in the back of the head, but it didn't do anything. They both kept fighting. Melina took advantage of the distraction, hooked Katie's right leg and pulled her into a rollup. The referee counted 1, 2, 3, and the match was over. At the sound of the bell, Cody and Matt stopped fighting. The looks on the faces of Cody, Matt and Katie told the entire story. She was so angry and upset she was on the verge of tears. She worked every day of her life for that title. An opportunity only came around every once in a while. How could this happen to her? She was so dedicated, and passionate, and hardworking. This didn't seem fair at all. Cody and Matt felt horrible. Their childish fight had cost Katie what was rightfully her Women's Championship. They knew it was their fault. Melina was long gone up the ramp by now, knowing that Katie's temper was not something she wanted to see first hand. Katie stood up and threw her other elbow pad at the ground. She kicked the bottom rope, and rolled out of the ring. Angry didn't even begin to touch the way she was feeling. She could feel her face burning from anger. She hadn't been this pissed off in a long, long time. Matt and Cody attempted to follow her, but Katie ignored them and kept walking quickly up the ramp, back to her locker room. She was not in the mood for apologies right now.

Cody banged on the door incessantly. Katie had locked herself in Cody's locker room with Ted. She'd been in there for about half an hour now.
"Katie! I'm sorry! Just, please, let me in already!"
"Why should I?" was the grumpy reply.
"Because, I'm sorry, and I didn't mean it, and I can get you a rematch, and, I really need to pee, Katie, please let me in"
The door opened, and Katie pushed past Cody and walked furiously down the corridor. Cody put his hand on the open door frame and hung his head. Ted raised his eyebrows.
"You really are an idiot."
Cody shook his head. He was barely even listening to Ted.
"You know how she feels about that title. Good luck trying to tell her how you feel now, Cody. She's really pissed. She cried on my shoulder for 10 minutes. You know Katie, she never cries. She just, breaks things."
Cody slammed his fist against the door frame and let out a deep breath.
"I know. I… I know." He glanced down the corridor after Katie. "I'm going to make things right. I'm going to beat Matt Hardy at the Bash this Sunday, and get him out of my hair, and then, Katie and I will be…"
Cody didn't even know how to finish that sentence.
