Chapter 14

Later that night, the show began, and after about an hour and a half, it was time for the third match of the night, AJ and Mickie vs. the Divas of Destruction. Mickie's theme music flooded around the arena as the fans began cheering in support of their favorites.

"Hey, hey, can't you see?

I'm a rockin southern girl runnin' wild and free

Hey, ya'll walkin' through the door

High-class style country to the core

HARDCORE COUNTRY!

Back woods or uptown

HARDCORE COUNTRY!

Rockin' your world with a thrillbilly sound

Hills and stones

Junior and Jones

One thing I'll always be

HARDCORE COUNTRY!"

Lillian announced, "This Diva tag team match is a No Disqualification I Quit match, and is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring first is the team of AJ Lee and Mickie James!"

The crowd cheered for the two Divas as they slapped hands with the fans at ringside and slid into the ring, posing for everyone when they stood over the top turnbuckles. Next, Beth Phoenix's theme flooded the arena, as the crowd jeered for the Destructive Divas.

"And their opponents, the Divas of Destruction, the team of Natalya and the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!" announced Lillian.

The blondes glared at the two Divas already standing in the ring, before the they stood on the ring apron, raised each other's arms, and smirked towards the crowd before they entered the ring. Mickie and AJ were talking some last minute strategies with one another before Beth stepped behind the ropes, signaling that Natalya was to start things off. AJ stepped in to face her, and the two Divas quickly began throwing punches at one another, trying to take the other down.

The two were pretty evenly matched, despite the strength advantage from Natalya. When Nattie was about to attack, though, AJ got the Canadian Diva in a reverse standing headlock when she tagged Mickie at the same time. The Country Diva climbed up the top turnbuckle and leaped off, flattening Nattie to the canvas as the fans were cheering like crazy for them. AJ stepped behind the ropes when Mickie went for the 3 count, but the Glamazon slid in and broke the count. AJ ran back in and dropkicked the more dominant Diva out of the ring, while at the same time, Mickie DDT'd Nattie from out of the other side of the ring. AJ and Mickie both looked towards one another, nodded, and leaped over the top rope simultaneously, sending both Destructive Divas down to the ground. The fans were impressed that a Diva's match was this intense, and continued cheering in favor of the two brunettes.

Later, things were still heating up and everyone was fighting around both sides of the ring. The Glamazon had the upper hand on Mickie as she forcefully tossed her into the steel steps. The referee ran up to her and asked, "Do you quit?"

She held her back in pain, but replied a definite, "NO!"

Meanwhile, Natalya also had the advantage over AJ in the ring, attempting to put the tiny Diva through a Sharpshooter. The brunette countered, though and kicked Nattie, sending her face first into the ringpost. She went for a submission hold on the blonde by pulling her arms back and using one knee to bend Nattie's back in a painful position, using the ropes as leverage. The Canadian winced in pain, but when the ref asked, "Do you quit?" she replied, "NO!"

After brawling at ringside, Mickie and the Glamazon made it back into the ring. The Destructive Diva pummeled on Mickie some more with a few rough kicks and punches, but when she was about to deliver a punt to the head, Mickie rolled out of harm's way and whipped out a weapon of her own, a belt. Beth tried to take it away from her, but Mickie tripped her down and began whipping the living daylights out of her. Each whip felt like fire to her skin, but despite the extreme pain, the ref asked once again, "Do you quit?"

She groaned. "NO!" she cried back.

On the other corner of the ring, Natalya and AJ were still exchanging punches, before AJ dropkicked Nattie down to the ground. The tiny Diva climbed up to the top turnbuckle, but Natalya quickly got up managed to place her over her shoulders, right when she leaned back and tossed AJ down with a devastating powerbomb. Before she could react, Nattie then countered April into the sharpshooter. She screamed in pain when the Canadian Diva applied more pressure on her back, and the ref asked, "Do you quit?"

She had a look of both pain and frustration on her face, but saw the ropes not too far ahead and replied, "NO!" The Diva slowly slid herself towards the bottom rope and grabbed it, breaking the hold. Then, through her pain, AJ tackled Nattie and rolled out of the ring, the two having their own separate brawl at ringside. Mickie and Beth were still at it, too. The Glamazon raised Mickie up and was attempting a Glam Slam, but the Country Diva countered and delivered a superkick, sending the blonde down to the canvas. Then, she used her new submission maneuver (similar to CM Punk's Anaconda Vise), making the Dominant Diva cry out in pain. The ref rushed to her and asked, "Do you quit?"

It was taking everything within her to keep from tapping out, but the pain was too intense for her. "I QUIT! I QUIT, I QUIT!" she surrendered, the crowd erupting in cheers. Shocked that they were able to beat the Destructive Divas, AJ leapt in the ring as she and Mickie shared a hug. Lillian announced, "And here are your winners, the team of AJ Lee and Mickie James!"

The fans praised them for putting on such a great match, and the girls each posed on the top turnbuckles, celebrating their victory with everyone. Meanwhile, Natalya was outraged, and she and the Glamazon began arguing, closing one pretty intense match up.

After their match, the girls headed backstage to the locker room, where the Guns congratulated them on their win...

"Ah, there's our champions!" announced Chris. "Nice work out there!"

"Yeah, you both totally kicked ass!" agreed Alex. "You're a perfect addition to the Guns. Especially you, baby." he told AJ.

She smiled as he lifted her into his arms in a hug. "Haha, thanks, you guys! You have no idea how good it felt to beat the living hell out of those two." she replied, giving her boyfriend a kiss.

"You have no idea how good it felt to whip the crap outta Little Miss Glamazon 30 times in a row with my trusty belt." Mickie smiled.

"Yeah, I admit, seeing that turned me on." Chris said with a smirk. "You are so feisty."

She smirked back. "...Would you like for me to whip you with a belt?" she asked in a seductive voice, tracing her finger down his jaw line.

His eyes widened. "Yes. YES! You two, get out so me and my woman can get it on." he demanded, about to shove Alex and AJ out of the room.

"Eh, only in your dreams, Sabin." Mickie announced, tossing her belt away. "And I'm not your woman."

"Aw." he pouted. Although he found it fun to play around with Mickie, he couldn't help to be a little disappointed by her constant put downs. He really did want her as more than a friend.

The Country Diva looked towards him and felt sorry, so she said, "Hey, head up, Chris. I may not be your woman now, but...things could change one day." she smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek while he turned red.

"You really mean that?" he asked, taking her hands.

She smiled at him, realizing that her feelings for him were growing even stronger. "Yeah, I do." she replied truthfully.

AJ smiled towards the two while Alex said, "Just kiss already. You two know that you want to."

As the two just stood there, gazing at one another, Randy Orton bursted in the room, scaring the hell out of Chris.

"HEY!" he greeted.

"Oh God, it's YOU!" he cried, jumping back. "Wh-What do you want?"

"Well, my match is up next and I just wanted a nice good-luck handshake from you, buddy." Randy replied, sticking out his hand. "Put er there, friend."

Sabin shook his head, reliving the moment at Six Flags where the Legend Killer had recklessly attacked him for no reason whatsoever. "So you can break my hand again and render me crippled? No. Flipping. Thanks." he replied.

Orton grew angry. "Did you just say no to me?" he asked quietly.

"...Maybe?"

"You just said no to me. I am Randy Orton, the Apex Predator, and you go and say *pounds table* NO to ME?" he demanded.

At this point, the Detroit native was terrified. "ALEX!" he cried, hiding behind him when Shelley laughed and moved out of the way.

"You're on your own, you wussy!" he smiled.

"What kind of friend are you?" he demanded before Orton proceeded to wrap his hands around his neck and choke him once again. "OH, DEAR GOD, NO!" he cried.

Mickie decided that it was time for action. "RANDY!" she cried sharply. "Let him go."

He looked at her and then did what he was told. "I just wanted a handshake." he muttered.

"But that does not give you the excuse to choke my friend. Now be a good boy and apologize." she said firmly.

"Before I SUE you!" added Chris.

He sighed. "I am sorry that I choked you, Chris. That better?" he demanded.

"Not really." he replied.

After Randy left for his match, Chris saw that Alex was still chuckling. "And what the hell are YOU giggling about, I was almost killed!" he demanded.

"Dude, I've met kindergarteners who were braver than you." he replied as AJ laughed.

Sabin glared at him and flashed the finger towards him once again before Mickie said, "All right, you two can continue on with your Man-Date while AJ and I get showered up. See you guys in a bit."

AJ kissed Alex. "I'll miss you, baby." she smiled.

He kissed her back. "I'll miss you more." he replied.

Then after they left, Alex announced, "Wait. Those two are going to be in the shower, soaking wet to the core, with nobody else around."

Silence.

"...But us! Let's go, dude! Score!" Chris exclaimed as the two sped off to meet with the girls. They never did make it to the showers, though, due to Mickie threatening to whip the both of them with her belt if they saw them.
