Chapter Thirty Seven - Good Morning Jamaica!
Amy held her head between her hands refusing for Trish to get anywhere near it.
"Nah-uh, no way I am not letting you dye my hair!" she said.
Trish put her hands up, she couldn't understand what the problem was. "What's the problem? I dyed my hair and it looks great,"
"Yeah you dyed it black, that's not exactly a problem is it? Blond is a much trickier color, if you get it wrong everyone's going to be able to see," Amy said.
"I'm not going to get it wrong, I'm the Truth: Trish Status and I can't lie," Trish reminded her best friend and she pulled Amy's head from out of her arms, "Now come on let's go to the bathroom,"
Amy pulled her head away from Trish and went running to the door of The Ortons' guest bedroom. "No get away from me, Shawn!"
She called out for her husband who was downstairs playing dominoes with Patrick, Justin, Jeff and Hunter.
"What is it honey?" Shawn said indifferently, his attention was solely focused on winning the game. Trish and Randy had done a pretty good job of convincing him that Amy's hair color had to go while they were hiding out in Jamaica and that was all he needed to hear. He didn't realize the danger he was putting his wife in by putting her head in the hands of Trish Stratus.
"Get away from me!" Amy said knocking Trish back and the two former Womens' Champions came closer to the men at the domino table.
"Get upstairs and let me dye your hair!" Trish said and she jumped on Amy's back and the fiery redhead went crashing over her husband right onto the domino table.
"Whoa!" the men said as the women proceeded to wrestle.
"I call ref!" Hunter said putting his hand up.
Shawn rolled his eyes, "You don't even have a referee shirt," he said and he was struck silent as Hunter removed his t shirt to reveal an authentic WWE referee shirt underneath. "You're actually wearing a referee shirt under your clothes, Hunter you are such a loser,"
"Loser who loves watching women wrestle, get out of the way God boy," Hunter said and he backed Shawn up as Amy pinned Trish to the domino table with her foot.
"Ow, Amy you're hurting me, ref get her off me!" Trish cried out.
"I am not, I can't hurt her she's just playing," Amy replied and Hunter pulled her off of Trish, "Hey get off of me," Amy said to Hunter.
"You had your foot on her neck for longer than five seconds, do it again and I'll disqualify you," Hunter said and Amy rolled her eyes.
"Oh shut up ref," she said and Amy was distracted long enough for Trish to apply a sleeper to Amy.
"Shawn run interference!" Amy said to her husband and Shawn sighed rubbing the back of his neck.
"Look all I care about is dominoes, Trish knock her out so we can get back to our game," Shawn said.
"See, even your husband believes it will be okay. Now go to sleep!" Trish said to Amy who was reaching for her husband's neck so that she could wring it.
"You are so naïve Shawn, you think this is just chick stuff my hair needs the right person to dye it and that is not Trish," Amy said and Trish locked the sleeper hold on tighter.
"So what are you saying you want me to dye it for you?" Shawn said.
"Yes please Shawn I'm begging you," Amy said.
"Don't beg Amy its beneath you, I'll dye your hair for you babe but not now," Shawn said and Amy flipped Trish onto her back.
"Thanks babe," Amy said and she kissed her husband's mango juice covered lips and smiled while Trish arched her back and pulled a loose domino from her shorts.
"I got a domino stuck in my butt," she said.
"I'll get that for you Trish," Hunter said.
"Hey, get away from my wife!" Randy Orton called from Patrick's SUV. "Why are you wearing that stupid shirt?"
"You're the prophet Randy you should already know," Hunter replied and Shawn began to help him take the shirt off, well not really help as he was pulling it off quite roughly.
"Just take that thing off so we can go back to our game," Shawn said as Randy helped Trish find the missing domino piece.
"Okay honey I think you're gonna have to take off those shorts," Randy said.
"Yes!" Hunter cheered and Randy rolled his eyes.
"On second thoughts the domino can stay where it is," he said.
"No it can't," Trish said feeling for the missing piece that was wedged somewhere between her hip and her butt. "Randy your hands are bigger than mine just reach in and pull it out,"
"Do you want us to turn around?" Shawn said.
"Hunter get back!" Randy said hitting Hunter who had come closer to the prophetic couple. "Are those binoculars?" Randy said noticing the black lenses attached to Hunter's fingers.
"I wanted a closer look," Hunter said and Trish went to slap him and as she leaned forward Randy reached down her shorts and pulled out the missing domino.
"I got it, here you go fellas," Randy said putting the domino back on the table and the men turned their noses up at it.
"Ew, we don't want to play with that, its been down Trish's pants," Jeff Hardy said and Hunter put it in his pocket.
"I wonder how much I can get for it on eBay?" he thought.
"You're disgusting," Trish said and he hit Hunter over the head, "Now give me that back, I'll wash it off so you guys can keep playing,"
"NO!" the men yelled. "We don't wanna see that domino tile ever again," Shawn said firmly.
"We can play without it," Jeff said.
"No then it won't be fair," Patrick said.
"See Trish this is all because you insisted on dying my hair," Amy said.
"No this is because you refused to let me dye it," Trish replied.
Shawn put his arms around Amy deciding he didn't want to play anymore, "I'm a go dye my wife's hair, you guys can figure this out between yourselves," he said.
"Loser, oh look at me I do whatever my wife tells – I'm a good husband," Hunter said mocking his best friend who had only succeeded in getting Hunter's ref shirt half the way off.
"Hunter take off that ridiculous referee shirt," Joanie said to him arriving back at Patrick's house after going grocery shopping with Randy, Melina and Johnny.
"Yes ma'am," Hunter replied and everyone started to laugh at him.
They had all arrived in Jamaica on New Year's Day after leaving a manic scene in Los Angeles, CA many hours earlier. Even getting on the airplane had been a task, people from the inside of the airport were expecting them and then once they were airborne the questions regarding the trial and everything that had gone on after the false verdict went on for hours. Being Christians they answered as many questions as they could, even defying sleep. They answered questions about God, questions about their friendship, questions about angels, demons, the Holy Spirit and miracles. Questions about Jesus, all these questions and more DX, Jeff Hardy and the Ortons answered on the flight to Jamaica.
They arrived in Jamaica as many New Year's parties were starting and watch night church services were ending. Once at the airport they had to wait for Melina and Johnny to pick them up so they decided to ring in the New Year by having their own church service at Norman Manley International airport. Once they started the celebration it was hard to end it, the next day being Sunday they advised everyone to go to church and get baptized and live for Jesus from that day forward. Melina and Johnny were so happy to see them and had questions of their own but seeing how tired their warrior friends were after being in the trial of their lives they held their questions in their hearts and made sure that they got the sleep they needed once they arrived at Patrick's house. Now it was late afternoon and they were expecting their friends and family from the US to arrive shortly to ring in the New Year with the freshly reunited ATM. Vince and Linda McMahon, the ARK Angels of DX and wrestlers from WWE were coming over and they weren't coming over to play dominoes. They were coming over to let ATM and DX know that no matter where they were they would always be there with them.
"Honey," Shawn said looking at the hair dye box and Amy turned to look up at him from over the bathroom tub.
"Yes?" she replied.
"No honey is the hair color that your hair is going to be once I've finished here," Shawn said.
He turned on the shower and Amy put her head down so he could wash out the dye solution which was made by Brie Danner.
"The kids will be surprised when they see me with my honey colored hair," Amy said.
"Remember the looks on their faces when they saw me with my hair all cut off?" Shawn said and Amy nodded as the warm water watched the dye mixture out of her head.
"Yeah, it took forever for them to pick their jaws up off the floor of that jail cell," Amy said.
"Funny how Edge came up with the idea for me and Randy to switch hairstyles, didn't he say he was going to cut his hair off too to show his support?" Shawn said.
"Edge will never cut his hair, Angelina wouldn't like it," Amy replied.
"Who says he'll have the choice?" Shawn replied.
"What does that mean?" Amy asked him and Shawn smiled to himself.
"Let's just say Randy and I have a little surprise for the Edgemeister later on tonight," Shawn said and he turned off the shower. "Okay get up honey, its time to dry you off,"
Amy caught a strand of her dyed hair in her hand, it shone like gold in her fingers and even though it was wet, she loved it already and she couldn't wait to see what it looked like when it was dry.
She was about to walk out into her guest bedroom with Shawn when he pulled her over to the Welsh dresser and began to dry her hair with a little white towel that really wasn't big enough for her head of hair. He pulled out her hair dryer but she reached for his hand before he turned it on.
"You know I would have gone to Heaven if Rebecca decided not to go back but for a minute there the idea of leaving you seemed impossible. Until I remembered why God called me in the first place, to do His will," Amy said and Shawn stroked her face with a heartfelt smile.
"Yeah He did, to do His will here on Earth with me and the children and our friends," Shawn said and he knelt before his wife and put his arms on her legs. "Part of God's promise was to give you fullness in every area of your life. Rebecca died full, she had everything God had promised her, there was nothing left for her to do here on Earth and she knew that, that's why she went back. She wars with the other angels on our behalf when God sends her to us and she has nothing else to get from God other than kudos for her service to Him and Him alone,"
Shawn looked down for a minute, he wondered if he was right to say what he was about to say but he knew he had to be honest with his wife. "A part of me wondered what it would have been like to have her back but when I saw Jericho try to pull Aurora and Jeff into Hell with him I saw a look come across her face that told me she would have done everything she could have to make sure that didn't happen. That was something she would never had tried to do as Mrs. HBK, she is doing what she never would have been able to do holding my hand. I held her back from doing a lot of things Amy," Shawn said and Amy shook her head.
"Don't think about the past Shawn, its over, well except for Jericho," Amy said and Shawn made a nauseous expression with his face.
"I think I threw up in my mouth a little when you said that name," he said and he turned on the hair dryer but Amy switched it off, "If I don't dry your hair you're gonna start sneezing,"
"I just had to tell you one more thing," Amy said but instead of telling him that she loved him she kissed him hard and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into an embrace. The heat from their embrace was so intense that Amy's hair dried without the dryer and when she was finally standing up again the woman staring back at her in the mirror smiled at her reflection. She touched her honey blond hair while Shawn nodded in approval.
"You were definitely the right person to dye my hair," Amy said combing through her new honey colored locks.
"Yup I was the right person for the job alright," Shawn said and he wasn't just talking about the hair dying, he was talking about the call God put on his life.
"Wow your hair looks great," Hunter said and the Anointed Couple turned to see him entering their room from the veranda outside. "Do we have the best hair in our little group now or what?"
"Shut up Hunter," Shawn said and he lifted his leg to execute a super-kick but Hunter caught it and hit him with an AA Spinebuster.
"How dare you do that to the man that just dyed my hair this awesome color!" Amy said and she hit Hunter with a Litacanrana and he went flying back out the window onto Vince's brand new Hummer limousine.
"DX!" Vince roared at the dent Hunter's new body had made in his brand new limo. Amy looked out over the veranda.
"Hunter are you okay?" she said to her degenerate in-law.
"Yeah I just dented Vince's new car I never felt better!" Hunter replied getting to his feet while Shawn and Amy came downstairs to greet everyone and show off Amy's new hair.
"Wow mom your hair looks great!" Rebecca Michelle said to her mom and she jumped into her arms while Randy Jr ran up to his parents, his mother Trish looked over at Amy and stuck her tongue out.
"Not bad Shawn, for a novice," Trish said jealously.
"What's with you?" Vince asked Trish.
"Don't mind her she's just upset because she didn't get to dye my hair for me," Amy said to Vince giving him a hug along with Linda. She looked around and noticed that one McMahon was missing. "Where's Steph?"
"She's flying in with Beth, there was a problem in Long Island that she had to fix before she could come out here," Vince explained and Amy and Shawn exchanged glances with Hunter.
"Would that problem be Jericho?" Hunter asked him.
"No that problem would be Aurora," Vince replied.
"Beth called Aurora over to The Deans and told her that Jericho was in their home, so Aurora showed up and scared Jericho away but then Stephanie turned up and tried to make amends for what happened between them during the trial but Aurora got upset and left in a tornado and went back to Houston to see Steven Borden II," Rebecca Michelle told Hunter.
"What were they talking about that could have gotten Ro-Ro so upset?" Hunter asked and Vince frowned at him and quickly looked at Trish.
"Does he know?" Vince asked The Truth.
"No he doesn't," Trish replied.
"Do I know what?" Hunter asked.
Shawn looked at Amy who decided to be the one to tell him what he needed to know, "Hunter while you were trapped in Jeremy Dean's body, Angelo Jericho decided that it would a good idea to fool Jericho into thinking that Stephanie was in love with Jericho again," Amy said.
"What? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard," Hunter said and Amy shook her head.
"That's not the worst part Hunter, Stephanie didn't let Aurora in on the plan and so one day at Mick Foley's house she faked a fight with Beth and when Aurora tried to reason with her, she kicked Aurora hard against the ribs in front of Jericho and told her to get out and never come back to the family again. They haven't spoken since and I think Stephanie has been trying to explain to her why she did that but Aurora won't listen and that's why she's not here right now,"
Hunter only heard the words "she kicked Aurora hard against the ribs", everything else was just white noise.
"Stephanie kicked my child, my beautiful baby girl?" Hunter said.
"Don't get it twisted Hunter, she did it to protect the whole family from Jericho," Trish said.
"Trish she kicked my daughter!" Hunter said. "How could she do something so barbaric?"
"Being the wife of Chris Jericho will mess you up too Hunter," Trish said and Hunter paced back and forth.
"I don't know what to say to her I know Jericho forced this on her but how could she kick her own flesh and blood?" Hunter said. "Aurora is not the kind of child you abuse, seriously. What if . . . ."
"What if what?" Vince asked Hunter but The Game shook his head.
"No I can't even think about that, I need to talk to them both tonight," Hunter said hoping that they both showed up. He looked over at Jeff, "I know she's your wife Jeff but you gotta understand how I feel, Aurora's like your child too,"
Jeff nodded, "Aurora means the world to me but I know it wasn't the Stephanie McMahon that you know and I love that did that to her, you gotta put it all in perspective. Jericho had come back from the dead, you were in a 12 year-old's body and Amy, Shawn, Joanie, the Ortons and me were locked up in Los Angeles. Jericho took Stephanie and the children hostage, he's the one responsible for what happened to Aurora," he said and Hunter nodded. "Try to remember that when my wife gets here,"
"I'll try Jeff, its really easy to blame Jericho when sick things happen and this is by far the sickest thing that could ever of happened to my daughter," Hunter said.
"Don't bet on it," Trish said and everyone looked at her questioningly.
"What the Hell does that mean?" Hunter asked walking up to Trish.
Randy quickly came to his wife's defense, "Don't listen to her she's just had a domino stuck in her butt," he said and everyone started to laugh, well nearly everyone.
"You can tell us what you meant by that later right Trish?" Amy asked The Truth.
"I'm sorry who are you, I don't recognize you with that hairdo," Trish said and she walked away towards Melina and Johnny and Amy kicked her in the butt as she walked away. "My butt is still sore from Randy shoving his hand down there!"
"Ew I did not need to hear that!" RJ said and Rebecca Michelle bent over laughing.
"I'm so glad you're back mom," she said to Amy who blew her daughter a kiss.
"Yeah me too," she said with a smile as Trish complained to Melina that she didn't get to dye Amy's hair.
Melina shook her head, "Just like old times, looks like things are back to normal," she said and Johnny nodded.
"Any news on Jericho's whereabouts yet Truth?" Johnny asked Trish.
"Duh, if I knew where he was I'd be there with my sisters and brothers in Christ," Trish replied.
"So you don't know where he is, so what good are you? I'd be a better part of ATM than you would at this point," Johnny said and Trish twisted his arm behind his back and pushed him down.
"Hey don't bully Johnny because you didn't get to ruin Amy's hair," Melina said.
"It would have looked better than that poor excuse for a dye job that Shawn pulled off," Trish said and Shawn threw a domino tile at her but she caught it.
"Oh darn she saw it coming," Shawn complained. "Stupid truth-telling abilities,"
"Those Truth-telling abilities are what got us all here safe and sound, easy on badmouthing my wife Shawn," Randy said to Shawn.
"But its fun, I love it when your wife gets mad, she always smiles when she's mad," Shawn said.
"Yeah what is that about?" Hunter asked Trish.
The Truth shrugged. "Its simple really, I smile because no matter how mad you guys make me I still love you more than life itself, that's why I smile," she said and Shawn and Hunter were touched by her honesty.
"Oh Trish you are the best," Hunter said and he went to hug her but Shawn pulled her back.
"I wanna hug Trish, you're always hugging her give me a break!" he said and Trish welcomed a hug from Shawn.
"Yeah about that Hunter I want you to stay at least 50ft away from my wife from now on and those binoculars are going in the trash tonight," Randy said and Hunter pouted.
"You husbands are such a pain in the ass, I should be able to hug any woman I want regardless of whether they're married or not," Hunter complained.
"Who are you the Nature Boy Ric Flair?" Vince said and Trish went limp.
"Oh my God I just got an instant message from God. I know where Jericho is," Trish said and everyone crowded around her eagerly.
"Where is he?" Hunter asked desperately.
"At a hospital in North Carolina," Trish replied.
"What is he doing there?" Jeff Hardy asked.
"He's waiting for Ric Flair to be anaesthetized so he can take his body while he's unconscious," Trish said.
"Ric!" Shawn cried out.
"We gotta save him, Jeff get going!" Hunter said and Jeff went airbourne.
"I'm coming with you," Rebecca Michelle said climbing on Jeff's back and they flew to North Carolina while a very concerned DX waited for news that Jericho had failed to take the place of one of the most beloved people in their lives.
"Trish are they gonna make it in time?" Shawn asked Trish.
"I'll tell you one thing Shawn they're gonna give it everything they've got and they're gonna have a little help from a certain weather girl and her mother," Trish replied and Hunter's face lit up knowing Trish was talking about Aurora and Stephanie.
"That's my girls," he said proudly, "Okay let's pray,"
Everyone gathered on their knees and prayed for the Nature Boy Ric Flair to wake up from his operation Jericho-free.
