A/N – Well, here we go again! And to answer We are the X-men's questions, Eddie is in the story for several reasons; 1. He was, and still is, one of my favorite wresters 2. It just seems nice to pretend and wish he were still alive. 3. He was hilarious and in my opinion is a great addition to the story. And I don't know why I decided to make Angle act like that; I guess I just thought it would be fun :) Again, there's a language warning for this one. Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday, and now on with the story.

Part 25 – Everyone "A Thorn in the Side"

Where the hell are we going?

That was the question that filled the heads of most of the people aboard the bus.

Florida. That was where they were supposed to be going. Where they were already supposed to be.

But no. There was no chance in hell, as Vince McMahon's theme song lyrics go, that they were actually headed to Florida.

If passing through California was not enough to convince everyone that Foley and The Undertaker were not heading to the right destination, a road sign that said '20 miles to Mexican Border' certainly was.

"Would you sorry son's of bitches please explain to The Rock why exactly we are going to MEXICO!!?" The Rock suddenly shouted, causing everyone to look at him.

"Why, is there a problem?" The Undertaker asked menacingly, as he turned around and rolled his eyes back.

Surprisingly, The Rock did not back down. "Yes jabroni, there is a problem. The Rock never wanted to go on this stupid road trip in the first place, and now he would like to know why you morons are going in completely the wrong direction, and LEAVING THE COUNTRY!!!"

The Undertaker stared back at him for a second, then simply turned back to face the road as if nothing had ever happened.

"What the!? YOU WILL NOT IGNORE THE ROCK!!" The people's champion screamed, but Taker just continued to stare out the window.

"HELLO, THE ROCK IS TALKING TO YOU!!!"

"Rest stop!" Mick Foley suddenly shouted as he stopped the bus, causing everyone to stand up and make a mad rush for the door.

"Hey! HEY!!" The Rock screamed, but it was no use; he was being completely ignored.

Everyone quickly exited the bus and headed toward the building they had stopped at, which was some sort of store.

They all began trying to enter at once, causing the store clerks and the few other customers who were in there to give them strange and surprised looks.

Chris Jericho and Lita quickly escaped the rest of the wrestlers and divas, most of who were gathering around the gum and candy section.

The pair hurried off around the corner of a shelf toward the toys, drinks, and non-candy food items.

The two were attempting to get a few moments peace away from the rest of the maniacs who somehow passed as professional wrestlers, but they ended up finding something, or rather someone, they never expected to see.

A dark looking man wearing black pants and a black leather jacket was apparently attempting to hide in the small amount of space between the second row of shelves and the built-into-the-wall refrigerator that housed items that needed to be kept cold.

"What the hell…?" Jericho simply asked, bewildered, as he stared at the person in front of him.

Lita's mouth, as well as Chris's, was wide open, but she managed to speak. "Kevin, what in the name of all that is holy are you doing all the way out here!?"

Kevin Thorn looked at them with wide eyes. "Ah, shit." He muttered. "Is Vince with you?"

"Hell no!" Jericho replied, and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. "But would you mind explaining to us why the hell you're in a rest stop out on the way to Mexico when you're supposed to be in Florida with Vince and everyone else who wasn't condemned to go on this road trip!?"

"Ah, it's a long story. Let's just say Vince won't be to happy the next time he sees me."

"Kevin…" Lita said slowly. "What did you do?"

"It's not important. What the hell are you idiots doing out here?" He asked.

"Also a long story." Jericho replied. "Vince told us to come to Florida, but the people who decided to do all the driving seemed to have something else in mind, and now we're here."

"Oh yeah? You guys are going to Mexico then?"

"We think." Lita said.

"Then I'm coming with. I'm fucking sick of hitchhiking with a bunch of fucking losers who have nothing better to do than drive around in the middle of fucking nowhere. Besides, none of them would take me to Mexico. Something about getting arrested at the border. Bunch of fucking morons."

As he finished, Jericho snickered. "Well you're not exactly a normal citizen, you know."

But before Kevin could respond, Lita spoke up.

"Kevin, what on earth did you do that's so bad you're leaving the country?" She asked him.

"Yeah, and who said you could come with us anyway?" Jericho asked.

"I already told you it doesn't matter what I did, and if you've got a problem with me coming with you, then you've got a date with my fist."

"Oh lovely. I've always dreamed of dating your fist." Chris sarcastically remarked, and Lita rolled her eyes.

"So when are we leaving?" Kevin asked, apparently ignoring Chris.

"Whenever everybody's done with whatever they're doing." Jericho replied. "But me and Lita were just trying to get a moment alone and away from all insane people, so it would be nice if you would kindly go away."

Kevin raised an eyebrow, but then shrugged and walked away muttering something about the meaning of the word 'alone'.

"Great. Another psychopath in the bus." Chris muttered, but Lita gave him a strange look.

"Chris, I believe you yourself qualify as a psychopath, so I wouldn't be talking bad about him."

"What!? I'm not a psychopath!"

"You drove our motorcycle over a rising drawbridge. You handcuffed King Booker, held a fake funeral, buried him alive, and then dumped his wife in the middle of nowhere. You called a random guy and told him that he had to bring 150,000 dollars to Canada if he ever wanted to see his wife again. Need I go on?"

Chris stared at her for a second. "Damnit."

Now it was his turn to walk off muttering something under his breath.

Lita shook her head and smiled slightly, then began shoving small, undetectable objects that she liked into her pockets.

"You do realize that stuff isn't free, right?"

Lita turned around to see the smirking face of Randy Orton.

"Shut up smart-ass." She said with a smile, and then went back to looking at and pocketing stuff.

Randy walked up beside her, and also began looking at stuff. After a moment, he exclaimed, "Ooh! Awesome!" and stuck a stretchy and squishy toy ball into his pocket.

"Hypocrite." Lita muttered, smiling at him.

He just shrugged and walked off.

Lita shook her head at yet another odd man, then decided that he was right, the balls were cool, and pocketed one herself.

Meanwhile, Kurt Angle and Melina were over in another section of the store, looking at a basket full of small magnetic rocks. The rocks were black, shiny, and stuck together, and this seemed to intrigue Kurt, as he simply stared wide-eyed at them.

Melina giggled slightly. "Pretty cool, huh Kurt?"

"Yeah…" he replied, staring at them with a bit of drool on the side of his mouth.

Melina giggled some more as she watched him.

"Can I touch them?" He asked, as if they were hers.

"Yeah, sure." Melina replied, and so Kurt began to play with the rocks.

While Kurt was busy with the rocks, Melina slipped off to buy her very 'special' friend a present, and literally ran into someone.

"Oh, sorry!" She said as he turned and looked down at her.

"Yeah, whatever." He muttered as he walked away, leaving Melina puzzled.

That was one of the ECW guys, but he wasn't with them. What the hell?

The guy was no doubt strange, but this was just weird. Then it hit her. Realizing that many of the ECW guys were a little on the crazy side, she figured that he had probably done something bad enough that he was running off to Mexico to avoid getting arrested or something, and this was most likely the only rest stop nearing the end of Arizona and Mexico's border. She shrugged. It didn't really matter anyway.

She headed into the toys section and began to look at stuff, wondering what Kurt would like the most.

It was then that someone tapped her on the shoulder. Melina turned to see the ECW guy standing there, and she swallowed a little bit.

"Why are you looking at toys?" He asked simply.

"For Kurt." She replied.

"Oh." he replied, and then he held out his hand. "Kevin."

She shook it, although she was very surprised. He looked like the kind of guy that would kill you as soon as look at you. "Melina."

"So why are you guys all out here on a road trip?" he asked, despite having asked Chris Jericho virtually the same question a couple minutes previous.

"Because Vince McMahon's crazy." She replied, causing him to let out a small laugh.

"Good enough." He replied.

"Why are you out here?" She asked.

"I through a Molotov cocktail into Vince's limo while he was in a meeting, pretty much destroyed every other car in the parking lot, and spray-painted 'Kevin Thorn wuz here' on the side of the building."

Melina's jaw dropped. "Why!?"

He shrugged. "I felt like it."

She shook her head and laughed a little bit, and he just stood there without another word.

That's when the insanity began.

The Rock, who was still pissed about being ignored, had begun wandering the store throwing random stuff all over the place, despite being yelled at by the clerks and other wrestlers to stop.

Steve Austin was attempting to use this as a distraction to steal something that was in plain sight, but when he got caught, he flipped off and delivered a Stunner to the unlucky clerk who had seen him.

This caused even more of a ruckus, and several people began heading for the door, afraid that someone would call the cops for what The Rock and Austin were doing.

Eddie Guerrero began shoving as many snacks as he could fit into his pockets, while Rey Mysterio simply watched him and shook his head.

"What, Esse? You can't tell me you don't want free snacks!?"

Rey just laughed and continued to shake his head at his shoplifting friend.

"YOU CAN'T SEE ME!!" was heard throughout the entire store as John Cena punched out another clerk.

D-Generation X was busy spray-painting 'DX' on the wall when someone shouted "RUN!" so The Game and The Heartbreak Kid quickly finished up and ran out, but not before Shawn Super Kicked a clerk and Hunter stole his wallet.

Through all the madness, Rob Van Dam had just been sitting in the corner smoking his pot and not really caring about what was happening, but when he heard someone yell 'RUN!' he decided, 'Why not?' and started running in circles around the shelves.

Rob continued doing this until Randy Orton saw him and raised an eyebrow. Figuring Rob was probably just stoned again, Randy jumped in front of his path and slung the drugged-up superstar over his shoulder, then ran out.

On the way out, Kevin Thorn grabbed up the entire cash register, which had just been sitting on the counter rather than attached, and several others grabbed other objects as well.

Melina had been planning to actually pay for Kurt's present, but that was pretty much impossible now, so she simply took a bunch of toys from the rack, grabbed a bag that someone had dropped in all the madness, and threw them in.

As she was heading for the exit, Melina saw Christian grab up the entire basket full of shiny rocks before he ran out and Kevin Thorn running off with the cash register, and she actually burst into laughter because of how insane this all was.

She hurried from the building and saw Finlay ushering people into the bus while shouting, "GO, GO, GO!"

Melina quickly got into the bus and ran back to her seat next to Kurt, who was already sitting in his spot.

Kevin, who had been previously standing in the isle looking for a place that someone wasn't taking or throwing their luggage onto, ran to the back and got into the seat beside her.

As soon as everyone was in the bus, Foley sped off, and everyone began talking to each other about what had just happened.

Four rows in front of Kurt, Melina, and Kevin, Christian was inspecting the basket full of rocks he had stolen.

"What the hell are these?" He asked out loud.

John Cena laughed from beside him. "Shouldn't you have figured that out before you stole em'?"

"Nah man I just grabbed something, I didn't even see what it was." He replied, causing Edge and Cena to laugh.

Christian shrugged. "Anybody want these?" He asked, holding out the basket

"Oh! Yeah, back here!" Melina shouted from four rows back, so Christian passed them over the empty fifteenth row (The Rock had once again sat down by Coach and Kane) to William Regal and asked him to pass them to her.

Regal passed them back to The Masterpiece, who in turn handed them to Melina.

"Thank you." Melina told him and Masters just nodded and said, "Yeah."

"Thanks Christian!" Melina shouted.

"Yeah no problem!" Captain Charisma replied, wondering why she would want a basket full of shiny magnetic rocks anyway.

"Here ya go Kurt!" Melina said happily as she handed him the bag full of stolen toys and the basket full of rocks.

"Whoa thanks Melina! You're my bestest friend!" Kurt replied, hugging her happily.

Kevin smirked as he emptied all the money out of the cash register and into his pockets, and then unceremoniously dumped the register onto the floor by his seat.

Stephanie McMahon, who had not even gotten off the bus, was looking wide eyed around at everyone, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened, while Hunter and Shawn were going through the stolen wallet in the seats beside her.

Perhaps what all of the wrestlers had just done wasn't exactly… legal, but it certainly put everyone in a much better mood, because most of them had just had a hell of a lot of fun.
