Author's Note: Phoenix deals with the fallout from Randy's comment from last week. She also relives a bit of her past and tries to keep Wade from killing anyone else. She also reveals her new titles and can't believe some of the antics. A dozen roses to the best beatreader NellyLove.
Disclaimer: I only own Phoenix and the other OCs as well as the nicknames. Otherwise the wrestlers own themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Monday February 14th, 2011 Anaheim, CA (Phoenix's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched John's match absently. I was more focused on the briefcase at Wade's feet. That held my surprise. I loved having the Corre around because not only did they watch my back but they carried my stuff sometimes. I was going to kill McGuillicutty. Later when I wasn't thinking of ways to kill Punk. I felt bad for Cena and once he left the ring; I nodded to Wade, who picked up the briefcase and I headed toward the ring. Justin and Heath got into the ring in front of me and held the ropes for me as I walked in. I was seven months pregnant. I wrapped an arm absently around my stomach and couldn't help the smile when I felt a kick. Wade stood to my left with Justin on my right. Heath stood behind me and Jackson got into the ring with a mike though I didn't need it because I was wearing my headset. He took up a position next to Heath.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I told you as we were going off the air last week that I have an announcement that will change the face of the Diva division." I said.
"I had a new tag belt made. Wade if you please." I said as he opened the briefcase and displayed the single belt that sat in there. The leather was dark red and the middle design was the Diva butterfly. Only the lavender of the belt was light blue and the soft pink was black. Divas was still white. I had added two more side plates with Diva tag scenes.
"This is the Divas' Tag Titles." I said.
"I have a tournament set up that goes as follows: Aurora Swagger and Fallen Angel, Leanne King and Carrie Lutz, Lay-Cool, Maryse and Alicia Fox, Cynthia Barrett and Suzanne, The Bella Twins, Kaitlyn and a partner of her choosing, and Beth Phoenix and Natalya." I said. I looked at Wade who closed the briefcase and we filed out of the ring. Wade had just set the briefcase down and I hardly had a time to get through the ropes when Zeke picked me up around the waist and lifted me over the ropes into Wade's arm; he then put me down.
"Let me cover this now. I HATE being picked up." I said.
"Okay, don't yell." Wade said. I glared at him before I went to sit down again. I closed my eyes when Alberto came out again. I was glad that Edge came out and threw punches at him. I was really tired of seeing Vickie too. I couldn't believe that Edge attacked Teddy Long it wasn't in him.
I sat on the edge of my seat hoping that Natalya would win. I wasn't surprised that during the bout that the girls on the outside got into it. Cynthia nailed Nikki and it worsened from there. Eve walked away with the belt but I couldn't really complain. I sighed leaned my head against the back of the chair. I closed my eyes but they snapped open when I heard Eve's voice. She got into a scuffle with the Bellas and Cynthia and Natalya got involved. Nattie only got involved because of Melina.
Mark Henry was coming out for his match with Sheamus when Sheamus jumped him from behind and attacked him. I closed my eyes not wanting to witness the carnage. I liked it that way.
My eyes snapped from the ringside action when "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by On the Rocks which was a cover but it popped on.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall." Justin said.
"First from Kavala, Macedonia, Greece Suzanne Ambrosia." Justin said. I noticed that Suzanne's hair was pulled into a high ponytail and she was in a deep red bikini top and a pair of jeans coupled with deep red wrestling boots. I looked at Wade and shrugged. Suzanne got into the ring and stood waiting for her opponent.
"Her opponent from Los Angeles, California Melina." Justin said. Melina got into the ring and the girls started to wrestle. Suzanne had the upper hand until Miz's music came one. Suzanne lost focus and looked up at the entrance ramp to see Alex Riley standing there. Melina got the pin off of her using a schoolgirl. I sighed and shrugged. So far my other team was failing. Well if I could get rid of Riley everything would be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Daniel's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had just left Cynthia sitting in the locker room. Cynthia wasn't a happy camper which wasn't surprising. I didn't get Alex's actions when he walked out during Suzanne's match. I'm pretty sure Suzanne will be pissed and if she gets her hands on Riley she'd probably kill him. I walked to my match but my heart wasn't really in it. I was just a bit concerned about Cynthia. I walked to the ring and Wade didn't even flinch. Wade was sitting right next to Phoenix this week. I shrugged it off and got ready to wrestle with the Miz.
"I feel like the first season of NXT all over again." Phoenix said.
"Why?" Josh asked.
"It's Daniel versus Miz all over again." Phoenix said. I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face. I got into the ring and noticed that when Miz showed up he was arguing with Alex. I wanted to ask but though better of it. Miz got into the ring and we started the match. It was an intense fight and it was a bit of back and forth. He hit me with the Skull Crushing Finale and picked up the victory. I didn't expect to win but it would have been nice. I went to the back and headed toward my locker room. I opened the door and heard Cynthia and Suzanne in deep conversation. I walked toward the couch and sat down. Suzanne looked at me and I gave her a small wave.
"Who does he think he is?" Suzanne asked.
"I think he just wants your affection is all." Cynthia said.
"It's not that. Do you know what Mike did the other day?" Suzanne asked.
"No will you tell me?" Cynthia asked.
"He cornered me and got really frisky." Suzanne answered. Cynthia raised an eyebrow.
"Define frisky." Cynthia said.
"He attempted to stick his hand down my pants." Suzanne said.
"Oh. You should go to Phoenix and tell her." Cynthia said.
"I don't want to bother her." Suzanne said.
"You wouldn't be bothering her." Cynthia said.
"She'd want to know about this." I said. Suzanne shrugged.
"I mean she heard about Alex and I from Aurora. Maybe it would be a good idea to tell her." Suzanne said. Cynthia smiled and the girls continued to chat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Phoenix's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat quietly. I couldn't help but wonder why Wade wanted to sit next to me this week instead of behind. After Morrison and R-Truth were out I waited for Otunga and McGilicutty to come out. After they descended the ramp I just wanted the match to be over. Aurora hurried down the ramp and crouched down next to me.
"What's up Rose?" I asked.
"Nothing just wanted to watch from ringside." She answered. I chuckled lightly and Morrison and Truth dominated the match. They picked up the win and headed toward the back. I had a headache coming and I wanted the night to be over honestly. I watched as Ariel Winter came out and helped Khali host the Kiss-Cam. I watched as Maryse kissed Yoshi instead of Ted. I blinked and shrugged. Aurora was looking down at her PDA and she didn't notice that her picture was up on the Cam with Wade.
"Psst Aurora." I hissed. Aurora looked up and her eyes widened. She smirked and stood up and straddled Wade's waist then she kissed him. Wade looked stunned before he put his hands on her waist and squeezed her hips. I looked at them.
"Kai you have a blanket?" I asked.
"Yeah." Chimera said.
"Good because Wade is going to need it." I whispered as Aurora moved. I smiled to myself and continued to watch as Hornswoggle offered Ariel a box of chocolate. It was great to see someone in love even if mine was falling apart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Randy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn't want to fight Sheamus. I was getting tired of it. Sheamus and I had our usual match which was hard fought but I picked up the victory with a well placed RKO. After the match was a completely different story.
It was complete and total chaos. Everyone from the chamber was in the ring and I had to fight my way back out. Finally there were just two of us in the ring. Cena and I stood tall. It was different because we had the on screen thing where we hated each other but off screen he was my best friend. John and I got out of the ring and I looked back to see Phoenix getting into the ring. Wade was holding the ropes for her. That was something I should be doing but I wasn't going to say anything. I watched as she went to the corner and noticed what she was wearing.
She was in a pair of maternity slacks, three inch wedge heels that had to be killing her feet, and a deep red blouse. Her crimson hair was curled and part of it was held up by a butterfly clip. She leaned against the corner turnbuckle and I saw she was tense. I was curious but I'd never ask. I was dealing with the glares from anyone who had heard what I said to Phoenix last week. John didn't believe me. He knew I loved her but I was too stubborn to admit it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Phoenix's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched as Randy went back behind the curtain. I had the Corre standing by in case I still needed them. When the arena went dark I was calm but I wished that someone had informed me what was going on. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face when Rock's music hit. It had been so long since I'd seen him. I clapped absently. When he walked into the ring I gave him a hug.
"Good to see you again." I whispered.
"You to Kitten. You haven't changed much." He whispered. I laughed as he pulled away and went about his little speech. When he talked down to Cole I smiled. Cole looked like he was pouting. It felt good to have Rock back. I had missed him but I think his stepping away had been for the best. When he was done I headed out of the ring and toward the back. The belt would go back with me to the hotel and I'd put it up.
I looked up when I heard someone say my name. I turned around and waited for the Rock to come close.
"How have you been?" He asked.
"That is a loaded question." I answered.
"That bad?" He asked.
"Worse. I have so much crap to deal with its stopped being funny in October." I answered. Rock wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"If it's any consolation I think you'll be a great single mom." He said. I smiled at him.
"Thanks. I guess I needed that." I said.
"So what else is going on with you?" He asked.
"Let's see my cousin is coming this weekend. Oh I have a better one. You hear that Michelle is going to have a little boy this time?" I asked.
"Michelle is pregnant again?" He asked.
"Yeah she's eight months. I'm hoping she doesn't have him WrestleMania weekend." I answered.
"I'll have to get a hold of Chris then and tell him congratulations." Rock said.
"I think he'd like that. I'd hate to cut this short but I'm tired. I need to get back to the hotel before my ride leaves me." I said.
"We'll talk later." He said. I waved to him and ducked into my locker room to grab my bag. Once that was grabbed I headed toward the parking lot where the Corre was waiting patiently by their car.
"Sorry talking to Rock." I said as I ducked into the vehicle. Wade shook his head and we headed toward the hotel.
