Once the door had shut behind them, were snow boots and jackets tossed into the hall closet. Lita made her way over to the stack of DVD's while Randy sprawled over the couch; the redheaded Diva holding up a few selections to the Legend Killer. In the end, they settled on Goonies.
"Tell me something," Randy raised a brow as Lita flopped down on the couch. "Why does Jeff have Goonies?"
Lita shrugged, "Because it reminds us of our childhood? I dunno..ask him."
Randy shrugged in turn, "Somehow I have trouble picturing you as the bubbly cheerleader or the dorky, yet still somehow cool best friend."
The redhead snorted, "That's because I wasn't..I don't think I really fit into any of those stereotypes though."
"So you were an outcast?"
Lita rolled her eyes, tossing one of the nearby pillows at him. "I was me..so just shut up and watch the movie."
Randy mimicked her, tucking the pillow behind his head momentairly. "I'm just saying..if we're gonna watch cheesy 80's, you'd think Jeff has something really cheesy 80's."
Lita shrugged, gesturing to the pile of DVD's. "Then why don't you pick something."
Randy tossed the pillow back at her, "I will then."
Lita just shook her head, waiting until his back was turned to toss the pillow.
"Alright..for sake of the fact that we managed to avoid the snow war outside.." Randy sent a look over his shoulder, "Truce?"
Lita shrugged, "Whatever.."
Randy rolled his eyes, resuming his search through the stack of DVD's. "Hmm.."
Lita raised a suspicious brow, "What do you mean hmm?"
The Legend Killer held up a small stack in his hand. "Old pay per views from before WWE got the F out."
"So?"
He shrugged, setting all but one down. "You up for watching it?"
"Sure Randy, I enjoy these little trips down memory lane..in fact? While your at it, I could just ask Jeff if he brought his stupid home videos from the hotels and crap."
A smirk crossed his face then, "That might not be that bad.."
The redhead rolled her eyes, "Whatever, if you want to watch it..fine, we'll watch."
"Touchy.." A thought crossed his mind, Randy raising a brow as he popped the DVD in. "Is there something embarrasing on here?"
Lita shrugged, "It's just old stuff from when Team X-Treme was around..when Edge and Christian tagged together, umm..days of the Alliance."
"So..why are you getting so defensive?"
Lita blinked, "Whoever said I was getting defensive?"
Randy rolled his eyes, attempting to settle back on the couch. "You could leave me some room you know."
"I could.." The redhead started evenly, "But I need to stretch my legs."
Randy scowled, "You can move."
"Again..I could." Lita offered an impish grin, "But I'm comfortable."
"Brat."
"Baby."
"Tease."
Lita raised a brow, "How the hell am I a tease?"
Randy raised a brow in turn, moving her legs so he could sit down. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you had your hands up my shirt."
Lita shrugged, "You weren't complaining."
"Not the point." Randy shot her a pointed look. "You had your hands up my shirt."
"My hands were cold."
"So if my hands are cold, does that mean I can put them up your shirt?"
"No!"
"There, see?" Randy nodded, leaning back against the cushion. "Tease."
Lita scowled, "That doesn't make me a tease.."
"Oh?" Randy turned his attention away from the television. "Pray tell..why."
"If I said I would flash you..but I didn't? That would classify me as a tease."
Randy raised a hand, "And you just did..and I know you wouldn't so.." He shrugged, "You are a tease."
"I don't think so Orton.." Lita tossed her hair over her shoulder. "You're just saying that so I will."
"I never said I didn't want to see it." Randy shrugged, flicking a glance to the television. "But I know you wouldn't."
"Whatever."
"Besides, it's not like it's nothing I haven't seen."
Lita raised a brow, "How much do you remember?"
"I remember bits and pieces." Randy shrugged nonchalantly. "What's it to you?"
The redhead glared, "Need I really answer that?"
"Ah but.." Randy raised a hand in defense, "You were the one who said it was a mistake."
"And you're honestly gonna tell me it wasn't?" Lita crossed her arms, "Or do you keep tally of the women that you've had a one night stand with?"
Randy grimaced, "You know..I seriously thought we had moved past this, judging before you know me thing..but I guess I was wrong."
Lita paused for a moment, "Well sorry for that, but it's not like I went out that night with the sole purpose of getting plastered and sleeping with one of my co-workers."
"And you think I did?" Randy rolled his eyes, the movie long forgotten. "I won't lie and say I didn't want to sleep with you, but not like that."
Lita blinked, "Just how drunk were you?"
Randy raised a brow, "Are you trying to say that I waited until you were so plastered just so I could get you in bed?"
"I never said that."
"It sure sounded like it."
Lita tossed up her hands helplessly, "Don't put words in my mouth."
"I'm not!" Randy shook his head, "But why do you ask?"
"Maybe because I can't remember that much about it, but you can." Lita frowned in thought, "It just doesn't make sense."
"And is that because you're trying to forget..or do you just not remember." Randy raised a brow, "Cuz, you don't strike me as the type to just get that shit faced so you don't remember a damn thing afterwards."
The redhead shrugged, "I remember bits and pieces..parts are pretty clear, and other parts are just really blurry."
"Alright..then what do you remember?"
"We've already discussed this."
"Humor me then, alright?"
Lita fell silent for a moment, hazel orbs fluttering shut as she searched through her mind. And when she finally found that particular part of it, she opened her eyes; staring straight ahead as she recounted what she could of the night.

No sooner had Lita and Randy disappear inside, did the mini snow war outside stop. Or at the very least, the combatants called a temporary truce. Dawn, Rey and Eddie had stopped not long after Lita and Randy walked off, while the Stacy and Torrie lost interest when they realized that it was the guys against them and Victoria. At any rate, not soon after the last snowball had been launched; Victoria, Stacy, Torrie and Dawn found themselves making snow angels..at least until Tyson, Jeff and Chris decided to modify them to snow devils.
"Jerk," Victoria stuck out her tounge at Chris. "That wasn't very nice."
Chris snickered, "No..but it's more accurate."
Dawn raised a brow, "Oh come on..we're not that evil."
Chris and Eddie exchanged a look, "I have no comment."
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
Chris just shook his head, "Who's turn is it to cook tonight?"
"Umm.." Stacy shrugged then, a thoughtful frown on her face. "That would be me and Tyson actually."
"And tomorrow?"
"Jeff and Rey."
"After that?"
"You and Victoria."
"And then?"
"Dawn and Eddie." Stacy nodded then, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "John and Torrie have the last kitchen duty before we start the cycle again."
"Okay." Chris shrugged, turning his attention then to the snowman that Jeff was trying to create. "Dude..that snowman looks lopsided."
Jeff rolled his eyes, "Well this snow ain't exactly the best for makin' snowmen."
"But it is for making snowballs." Victoria crossed her arms, "Funny."
"Oh where's your sense of fun?" Jeff rolled his eyes at the raven haired Diva.
Victoria responded by dumping an armful of snow over Jeff's head. "There Chris? You want a snowman..that's a start."
Tyson shook his head, "No, no, no..you've got it wrong." He piled another armful of snow on the TNA star. "You need more snow than that."
"Excuse me?" Jeff sputtered, "Since when did this becoming the living snowman project?"
Tyson shrugged, dropping another armful. "You'll live."
Jeff frowned, "It'd work better with a shorter person."
Rey raised a brow at that, "Don't give them ideas."
"I can't help it..shorty."
Rey rolled his eyes, "I think you'd make a better snowman than me."
"So do I." Tyson stated as he added another armful. "Hold still, or you'll be Jeff the Upside Down Snowman."

Meanwhile, back in the house..Lita and Randy were still trying to process what had occured between them. And for all she was worth, Lita couldn't remember as much as Randy. And to some extent; that fact disappointed her.
"Alright so.." Randy shrugged, facing the redheaded Diva completely. "So far, you've gone through the before and the after.."
Lita frowned, "Yeah and? Are you tellin' me you remember everything?"
"I remember at least making it back to the hotel room." Randy's forehead creased in thought. "And I remember leaving the club."
"And?"
"I can remember clothes being tossed."
Lita sighed, "No really? I figured they just took themselves off."
Randy rolled his eyes, "What do you remember? I mean, after we got to my hotel room, what do you remember?"
Lita shrugged, bringing her knees up to her chest. "I remember being kissed..kissing someone back, being held by them and.."
"And?"
"This is gonna sound stupid, but I remember the eyes, not the face."
"Anything else?"
Lita shook her head, resting her chin on her knees. "That's about when my mind ceased to function."
Randy nodded, raking a hand over his hair. "Alright..kill me later, if you want..but I remember you. Not that it was just some woman, but specifically you."
"Okay.."
He raised a brow, moving so he was sitting next to her. "I remember that same look in your eyes..the one from this morning."
Lita blinked, her eyes swirling in confusion. "What look?"
Tentatively, Randy cupped her cheek with his hand; blue eyes staring intently at her. "That look."
The redhead's mouth parted, words on the tip of her tounge but before they had the chance to escape; his mouth descended on hers. He held the kiss for a moment, waiting to see if she would respond..and when her hands grasped at the back of his neck; he took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. Their tounges had just started to tangle, when the front door was swung open.
"Don't mind me," Tyson stated as he walked past the two. "I just need to use the bathroom..then I'll be out of your hair."
Lita inwardly sighed, pulling back first. "Maybe we should go back outside."
Randy's head bowed; his forehead resting against hers. "If that's what you want.."
She shortly nodded, averting her gaze. "I think it's best."
Randy nodded slowly, moving away from her. "I--"
"I'm going back outside now.." Tyson began as he exited the bathroom. "Really, you never saw me."
Lita pursed her lips, pushing off the couch as soon as the front door shut. "I think Tyson needs to be re-introduced to a snowball."
Randy snorted, joining the redhead by the closet. "Just one?"
"Okay..so many." Lita conceded, handing his jacket and boots over. "Better?"
Randy shrugged, the two tugging on jackets and boots in silence. The silence continued until they reached the front door. "It's tradition.."
Lita raised a brow in confusion, glancing upwards to the big sprig of mistletoe overhead. "Your point?"
Randy rolled his eyes, a gloved hand grasping the doorknob. "Nevermind."
Lita shrugged, touching gloved fingertips to his cheek. "For sake of tradition.." She perched up slightly, brushing her lips across his before she opened the door.
For his part, Randy stood in the doorway a moment longer, watching as the redhead made her way over to the group. As a matter of fact, as the Legend Killer finally joined the group..he noticed the absence of one. He was just about to question where Jeff was when the man in question came flying out from behind a tree to tackle him to the ground. That started the snow war again; Randy finding himself on the same side as the Diva's, Rey and Eddie.
