Mike's POV
I waited until I knew Charity was asleep. I leaned over just to make sure before removing my arm from around her and got up. I grabbed my phone and the key card before quietly stepping out of the room. I found the number I was looking for and hit send before pressing it to my ear. It rang four times before he picked up.
"Hello?"
"You were right…" I said softly.
There was silence for a moment.
"Mike?"
"You were right, John."
"Right about what?"
"About Randy. You told me to watch my back around him and I didn't believe you. But you were right."
"I told you Mike. He can't be trusted. What happened?"
I clenched and unclenched my fists at the thought.
"Mike? Are you still there?"
"He…He kissed her." I replied through clenched teeth.
"He kissed who?"
"He kissed Charity. He even admitted he has feeling for her."
"I hate to say I told you so…."
I shook my head.
"What can I do, John?"
"Keep her with you at all times. Never take your eyes off her."
I nodded.
"But what about when I'm on the road?"
"Oh don't worry Mike. I'll have somebody watch over her."
"Thanks John. But I got to go. Talk to you later."
I hung up and headed back into the room. Now I'm starting to really wonder what Randy is going to do…..
Randy POV
I woke up the next morning with everything that happened last night fresh on my mind. I grabbed my keycard and left my room. I rode the elevator down to Charity's floor and started heading toward her room when the door opened. Mike walked out and Charity stood in the door way. They talked for a little while and right as he was about to leave I saw him glance at me and smirk. He pulled her close and gave her a kiss. I clenched my fists and turned around. I was about to get into the elevator but thought against it and took the stairs. I needed time to really think about all this.
By the time I reached the main floor, Mike was just leaving. I decided that after I get some coffee, I'll go see Charity. I crossed the lobby to the little kitchenette and grabbed a mug. I put my cup in the little holder and pressed the button. As I waited I could sense somebody walk up. I turned and came face to face with Morrison.
"Hey Randy," He greeted as he walked past me to grab a mug.
I glared at him and turned back to the machine.
"Wow. No need to be hostile, Randy. I'm just here to get some coffee." He said calmly. "I mean maybe I can even help you."
I turned to look at him.
"What?"
He set his mug down and faced me.
"You heard me. I can help you."
"Help me with what?"
"Randy, I know that you have your eye on charity, but i can help ya..."
I raised an eyebrow at him and he continued.
"I can help you get Charity."
"What do you mean?" I asked skeptically.
He lean forward and smiled.
"It's a win/win, Randy. You help me split up Charity and Mike, I get my best friend back, and you get the girl. What do you say?"
I grabbed my coffee and started fixing it as I mulled over everything he said in my mind.
"Well? Are you in or out?" John asked.
I sighed and picked up my mug and looked at him.
"I'll think about it."
I walked off toward the elevator before he could say anything else.
Tuesday
Charity POV
Zayne, Nia, and I had got to the arena a couple hours early to start getting ready. Today we had an imitations challenge. Before we left last week, Nia and I drew the name of a Diva we would be imitating and Zayne picked the name of a WWE Superstar. Whomever we drew, we have to dress like them and do their entrance. Luckily the people we were imitating were going to show us how to do their entrance so we didn't mess up.
As Nia and Zayne headed to the ring to learn their entrances, I headed to wardrobe to find my costume. I was imitating Melina so the seamstress made me a costume just like Melina's for me to wear.
"Hey Julie." I greeted the tall blonde woman.
"Hey! Now which Diva are you imitating? Natalya or Melina?"
"Melina."
She turned toward the shelves and searched until she found it.
"Aha! Here it is." She said handing me two pieces. "Here's the tights and top. Go change in the locker room and come back and tell me how they fit in case we need to make some last minute adjustments."
I nodded and head off toward the Locker room and changed into the costume. As soon as I was finished, I looked at y self in the mirror before walking out. It didn't take long for the resident creeper to find me.
"Damn! Is that a keg in your pants? Because I'd love to tap that ass."
I groaned as I turned to look at McGillicutty.
"What do you want?"
"Would you like to try an Australian kiss? It is just like a French kiss, but down under." He smirked as he hooked two fingers in the front waitband of my tights.
"You're disgusting." I replied, pushing him away.
"I don't know what you think of me, but I hope it's X-rated."
"Ew."
He walked toward me making me walk backwards. He kept going until I back into a wall.
"Your lips are kinda wrinkled. Mind if I press them?"
He leaned in and before his lips touched mine, Randy appeared out of nowhere and spun him around.
"Nobody touches her!" He said before punching him in the face with his good arm.
McGillicutty falls back onto the ground holding his nose.
"What the fuck?" McGillicutty exclaimed.
I stared in shock as I saw the red liquid coming out of his nose. I looked at Randy and his expression was murderous as he glared at McGillicutty.
"Beat it!" He growled.
Without skipping a beat, McGillicutty was on his feet and gone. Randy turned to me and his expression softened.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly.
I nodded.
"Thank you."
He smiled and nodded.
"Where are you headed?"
"Wardrobe."
He paused for a moment.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
I nodded and we walk together to wardrobe.
Nia POV
It was great being in NXT with Charity and my cousin, Zayne. Zayne and I are so close we're like brother and sister.
"This is gonna be so awesome, my entrance as Edge is so gonna blow everybody's mind!" Zayne hollered happily and I couldn't help but smile at his antics.
"Sis yours gonna be cool too, since you got Natalya's entrance." he added.
"Yeah I'm sure it's cool." I said flashing him a smile.
"So what shall we do later tonight? Do you wanna watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon with Charity?"
I nod my head, "Yeah that would be fun, beats hitting the clubs. The last time you were so wasted, that you actually thought you were Batman." I giggled as Zayne blushed.
I saw McGillicutty walking towards wardrobe with a bloodied nose.
I nudged Zayne.
"What sis?" he asked looking puzzled at me.
"Damn! McGillicutty busted his nose." I whispered.
As McGillicutty walked past, he glared angrily at the both of us.
"What's his problem anyway?" I asked Zayne.
"Argh! Just ignore the prick and let's headed to the ring." Zayne grabbed my arm and we quickened our pace to meet up with Adam and Nattie.
Morrison POV
McGillicutty came back holding his nose. His hand was covered in blood.
"Did you see that? He punched me!"
I looked past him at Charity talking to Randy.
"Calm down. This is all part of the plan."
I smirked as they left together before looking over at McGillicutty.
"Go get cleaned up. I'll meet with you later."
And with that we parted ways.
Charity POV
We walked back to wardrobe and were greeted by Julie.
"Hey! You brought a friend I see." She smiled.
Chuckling I nodded.
She walked around me and looked at the costume.
"How does it fit? " She asked as she stood back in front of me.
"Perfect." I smiled.
She nodded and handed me a roll of black athletic tape.
"If you need help taping up, let me know."
"Okay. Now what do I do for the boots?" I asked.
She walked over to the shelf again and handed me to pieces of fur.
"These go over your boots. They're legwarmers."
She had me sit down and put them on, then my boots before pulling them over. When I finished, I stood up and showed her.
"Perfect!" She smiled. "Now let's find a black wig and you're all set!"
With Randy's help, we found the perfect one. It was the exact shade as Melina's.
"Alright." Julie said, wig in hand. "I'll have the hairstylist make it look like Melina's while you go learn her entrance."
Smiling, I nodded and Randy and I left to meet Melina at the ring.
It took about two hours but I finally got her entrance down. Randy watched from one of the seats in the audience. After we were done, I thanked Melina and we headed where the hair and makeup was done. I put the wig on and they did my makeup. When I was finished I fumbled with the athletic tape for a few moments.
"Here, let me help you." Randy offered.
I sighed and handed the roll to him.
He chuckled and gently grabbed my hand and wrapped it up like Melina's.
"Okay, other hand please."
I obeyed and gave him my other hand and he wrapped that one up. Afterwards, he handed me the roll and smiled.
"There you go. They're not too tight, are they?"
I shook my head.
"No."
We walked around the arena for a while until we ran into Nia and Zayne. They both looked like the people we were imitating.
Zayne had on a blond wig and his already blond facial hair was slightly darkened. He was also wearing Adam's black and red Rated R Superstar tights and boots with an Edge t-shirt. He also wore sunglasses and Adam's trench coat. If I didn't know Adam personally, I would have thought that Zayne was him!
Nia looked amazing! She had on a Blond wig with pink streaks and wore Natalya's costume with her jacket and everything, right down to the boots.
"Oh my god!" Nia exclaimed as she saw me. "You look just like Melina, sis!"
"Thanks! You both look great too! I totally thought I was looking at Natalya and Edge." I chuckled.
They thanked me then a crew member told us to start getting ready since the show was about to start. We all headed over to the monitor and waited. Striker said hi to all of us before heading out.
The pyro went off and the NXT theme played.
"Hello everyone and welcome to the sixth episode of NXT: Battle of the sexes. I'm your host, Matt Striker. Last week, for the first time this season, the rookies faced each other in a tag team match with their pros as their partner. Last week Nia Sparks was ranked last, but since she had immunity, she was safe and Erik was sent home. This week the rookies will be in their fourth challenge. This week's challenge is the imitations challenge. Last week after the show, they each drew the name of a pro of the same sex to imitate; our rookies have spent most of the day getting ready. Now without further ado, let's bring them out!"
Zayne was up first. He stood next to the curtain and as soon as Metalingus by Alter Bridge he went out. We watched the monitor and saw as he walked through the smoke and jumped around and stopped before walking down the ramp a little. He bent over and, right on cue, put his hands up in the 'rock on' hang gesture as the pyro went off.
Smirking he looked walked down the ramp a little before running and sliding into the ring. He stood up and did his thing on the turnbuckle.
I was next and Randy and Nia wished me luck before I walked over to the curtain. Melina's music played and I took a deep breath before heading out. I smiled as I walked out to the stage and did her arm thing before the crew rolled out the red carpet and I walked down with Paparazzi taking pictures. I climbed the stairs and twirled around until I was in the middle and leaned back. I stood straight again and pointed up before pushing myself up and landing in a split on the apron. I slid under the ropes and get into the ring before going up to the turnbuckles and doing Melina's thing.
Next out was Nia. Zayne and I stood just outside the ring as Nia did her imitation. She walked out to the top of the stage. She put her hands on her hips as she looked out and did Natalya's signature before walking down to ramp. He jumped up to the apron and slide into the ring before going to all the turnbuckles and doing her signature again. Her music faded and she jumped down as Zayne and I got back into the ring and stood next to her.
"Great job everyone! You all did amazing! Now whoever wins tonight's challenge will not only be safe from eliminations next week, but they will also pick their partner to go against the other two rookies in a tag team match next week. So let's see who did the best imitation!"
He walked over to Zayne.
"Okay. Who thinks Zayne was the best?"
The crowd erupted in cheers and boos. He walked over to me next.
"Who thinks Charity did the best?"
I smiled as I got a nice pop from the crowd. Striker nodded and stood next to Nia.
"How about Nia?"
She too got a great response.
"Okay, so it looks like our winner is…Zayne!"
Zayne grinned as the crowd showed their disapproval.
"Let's bring our pros in here and see what they think."
The NXT theme plays and all six pros walk down the ramp and get into the ring. Our pros stand next to us as the rest stand over to the side.
"Now pros, who do you think did the best imitation? Let's start with Natalya."
Striker handed Natalya the mic and she looked at us.
"I'm a little biased. I'm gonna have to go with Nia because she looks just like me!" She chuckled.
She handed the microphone to Eve.
"All rookies did an amazing job, but I'm going to go with Zayne. I honestly thought he was Edge."
She handed the mic down to Del Rio.
"I say Nia. Not only because she's my rookie but because she looks a lot like Natalya."
He handed the mic to Melina.
"This is tough, but I'm gonna go with Charity. She pulled off my split perfectly! And she looks so much like me."
I smiled and she handed the mic to Edge.
"First of all I'd like to tell you all good job. But out of the three, I'd say Charity did the best. That split she did, is tough to do but she pulled it off."
Edge went to hand the mic to McGillicutty but he grabbed it from his hands, earning a chorus of boos.
"I'm gonna go with my rookie, Charity. Simple because she's my rookie and she looks really hot."
I rolled my eyes and he got some disgusted looks from the other pros.
My jaw stiffened as he smirked and slapped my ass in front of everyone.
"Wow. Okay then, well there you go! Everyone please don't for—"
I called for the mic and a shocked Striker handed it to me.
"Why end this right now? How about we do something that these people would love to see?" I said into the mic.
The crowd cheered and I continued. I turned to McGillicutty, whom was as confused as everyone else in the ring.
"I challenge, my pro, Michael McGillicutty to a match! Right here, right now!"
I glared at McGillicutty as I handed the mic back to Striker.
"Well it seems that we're gonna have a match!"
The rest of the rookies and pros quickly got out of the ring and stood ringside to watch. Striker left the ring also. I pulled off the wig and tossed it into the corner. I stood in my corner as McGillicutty stood in his and the bell rang.

"Now remember everyone, tomorrow at noon eastern at WWE. com, the voting opens and you along with the WWE Pros get to vote who you think is WWE's next breakout star. Zayne is immune from elimination and will choose his partner for the tag team match. And next week, somebody is going home! Goodnight everyone!"
We headed to the back and after returning some of the props and wigs, we headed to the locker rooms to change.
"Hey sis. Zayne wants to go out for dinner then rent Transformers 3. Dark of the moon. What do you say? Wanna join?"
"No thanks. Not tonight. I'm actually kind of tired from that match." I chuckled. "If you don't mind, could you drop me off at the hotel on your way out?"
She frowned, but nodded.
"Sure sis."
We walked out the locker room and joined Zayne before heading towards the V.I.P parking lot. They dropped me off and left to go eat dinner. I crossed the lobby and rode the elevator up to my floor. When I got to my room, I called room service and ordered some food and sat back and waited. I got my food and watched a chick flick marathon. When I was finished eating, I turned off the TV and walked over to my balcony. The hotel was right next to the beach so I had a great view of the water. The sunset reflecting off the water made the view even more beautiful. I scanned the scene and much to my surprise, I saw that somebody was sitting out in the sand looking out at the water. I looked a little closer and noticed the person was Randy.
I sighed. Should I go down there and join him? I mean yeah he told me he loves me, but he's still my best friend. I don't want anything to come between us. Before I went to the ring, it looked like something was bothering him. I should be a good friend and see what's wrong.
After arguing with myself for about five minutes, I finally decided to go. I grabbed my key card and left my room. I went out the back and headed down to the beach. I walked up and sat in the sand next to him.
"Hey."
He look at me a gave a small smile.
"Hey."
"Are you okay? I saw you sitting out here all alone."
There was silence for a moment until he spoke.
"Why couldn't it have been me?" He said softly.
"What?"
He sighed and looked at me.
"Why couldn't it have been me who went to OVW that day and met you?"
I looked into his eyes and saw the hint of sadness.
"I went to OVW too. I just…" He sighed in frustration. "I don't know."
"Trust me. You really didn't want to be there that day." I chuckled. "If were you would have seen me get up in Layla's face."
"So?"
"And I probably wouldn't have talked to you very much because I'd be so starstruck." I chuckled.
"Yeah, you probably would be." He joked.
I jokingly pushed his good shoulder. He laughed and gently pushed me back until we were going back and forth. I pushed him and before he could get me, I quickly got up.
"HA! Can't get me now!" I teased.
He grinned.
"Wanna bet?" He quickly got to his feet.
I ran down along the water with Randy hot on my heels. We both laughed and Randy quickly caught up to me.
"You're it!" He laughed as he touched my shoulder.
I turned and ran after him. He was running backwards and still was quicker than me!
"Come on!" He laughed. "Come get me!"
He spoke to soon because slipped and fell backwards on his back laughing. I ran up to him. Unfortunately I didn't stop quickly enough and fell…..right on top of him. I put my arms out to catch myself so that I didn't hit his hurt arm. I had a knee on either side of his legs and an arm on either side of his shoulders.
Out of breath, we continued to laugh.
"Have a nice trip?" He chuckled.
"Shut up." I laughed. "Are you okay? Sorry for landing on you…"
"It's okay. It's better than you face planting."
He smiled up at me and looked me in the eyes. Our faces were really close and for some reason, I couldn't look away. At the exact same time, he raised his head as I lowered mine. I felt him put his good arm around me. Our lips were just about to touch, until I stopped.
"I…um….I should go." I said softly as I looked away.
He leaned his head back and removed his arm. I got up and after muttering a goodbye, I quickly left back to my room.
I got back to my room and leaned against the door. What the hell is going on with me?
WOO! Okay, there you go!
What do you think?
oh no! Morrison is back in this!
Do you think Mike made a bad move by telling him about Randy?
What did you think about the imitations? :D
What did you think about Charity's match with McGillicutty?
What do you think of Randy's efforts?
OMG! Do you think Charity already has or is starting to have feelings for Randy?
Let me know what you think! :D
Please don't forget to review!
