Chapter 38 "The Road to WM"
A week was passed by and it had been a busy one for Ashley. Infact she had to travel from a city to another to promote her PB. She was excited about it but obviously tired after a long week of signings, radio appearances, interviews and so on. And then, the most important thing, she had missed John like crazy and in every single break of her busy schedule you could see her texting or on the phone with him.
But now finally she was on the plane to come back to Raw and she couldn't be happier at the thought of being with John again; so she adjusted in her seat, took her ipod and smiled waiting for that moment.

-My boyfriend! –She giggled happily running towards him.
-That's my baby! –He chuckled as she literally threw her arms around his neck and lifted her up.
-I missed you so much!
-Me too, you have no idea! –He replied kissing her.
-Really? –She giggled as he put her down on her feet again.
-Really. –He smiled leaning over for another kiss.
-So you didn't fall for another diva?
-Baby you were away just for 7 days. –He pointed out amused taking her suitcase in one hand and linking fingers with her with the other one as they walked through the airport.
-And so? I've met a lot of boys in 'just 7 days'. –She smirked and left his hand walking faster.
-What? –He asked taken aback after a few seconds and reaching her.
-HAHA! Just kidding baby! –She laughed- You should have seen your face!
-Evil woman. –He said putting an arm around her waist- So you didn't take your chances partying all night long without your boyfriend?
-Nope. –She smiled and slightly blushed- I preferred talking with you on the phone to parties.
-Sweet. –He smiled and hold her closer- Have you had a good flight?
-Yeah, but I'm starving!
-Good, cause a couple of guys is waiting for us to eat something together before Raw.
-Cool! –She giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek- I love you, John.
-Love you too, punkie.
---
-So did he behave while I was away? –Ashley asked with a smirk as from the other part of the table, in front of her, John smiled amused.
They were at a McDonald's near the arena having a good time with their friends. Sat next to Ashley there was Maria and then Randy; at the other side of the table next to John there was CM Punk, who was going out with Maria since a couple of months, and then Trish.
-Yeah, he was a good boy. –CM Punk answered amused- We went out just a couple of nights.
-But he behaved himself. –Trish winked.
-How do you know? –Randy rolled his eyes- You weren't even there!
-Oh yeah we were! –Maria giggled.
-Did you two follow us? –Her boyfriend asked with a shocked face.
-Nope. –Maria quickly shook her head- There was also Torrie with us.
As everyone laughed Trish added –We wanted to keep an eye on you boys, but you all were good.
-Unbelievable. –John commented as Ashley giggled taking his hand and linking fingers with him.
-And meanwhile did you have fun, hun? –The Canadian asked.
-Yeah. –She smiled. –I had the opportunity to hang out with a lot of fans which is always cool. At a signing there was this little boy of 6/7 years old with his mother and he had a copy of Playboy to get signed! –She laughed.
-Cute! –Maria giggled.
-Lucky him that John wasn't there! –Randy said with a smirk.
-Why? He was just a kid! –The cover girl said amused.
-Cause he punched Chris Masters because he was talking about your pics. –The legend killer explained.
-John! –Ashley exclaimed.
-Never listen to what Randy says, baby. –The champ shrugged- And anyway Masterpiece is an idiot.
-You suck. –Randy said rolling his eyes.
-Shut up Orton. –John replied.
-No, you shut up Cena.
-You.
-You.
And then the two superstars started throwing fries at each other like two kids as the others laughed.
-Boys will be boys! –Ashley sighed amused.

xxx Later at Raw xxx
HBK was stretching in the backstage when John joined him.
-Look who's here! My tag team partner! –The showstopper said with a smirk.
-Listen man, I'm going crazy- John started.
-I know, I know. –HBK interrupted him- After the video of my former partners that Rated RKO showed you last week you're wondering if I'm going to super kick you too.
-Exactly. –John huffed- You seem always at the point of giving me that damn sweet chin music and then it never happens!
-With you it's different John.
-Fine! With me it's different… why?
-I don't know… maybe it's not. –The DX member said amused.
-Thanks a lot Shawn! I feel much better now! –The WWE champion sarcastically commented.
-I told you that it's my own interest that nothing happens to you till Wrestlemania… so until then I got you back. –He said and then walked away leaving a perplexed John there.
---
-Hey baby. –Ashley greeted him a few minutes later as he entered his locker room- Did you find Shawn?
-Yeah but it'd be the same if I hadn't talked with him. –He huffed crashing heavily on the leather couch.
-The same old story? –She asked sitting on his lap.
-Yeah… he said that he got my back but honestly baby, I'm not so sure anymore. And it sucks to be in the ring with someone you don't know if you can trust. –He said putting his arms around her waist.
-Well at least tonight you can be sure of one of your partners. –She pointed out with a smile.
-What? One of my partners? –He asked with a puzzled look.
-Remember when two weeks ago Melina and Nitro interrupted me and you came out before they could attack me? –He nodded- Well tonight the women's champion –she smirked pointing at herself- tags in with the world tag team champions against MNM.
-You, me and Shawn against the slut, the mask and the model wannabe? –He said excited.
-Exactly. –She giggled.
-Oh, we're so going to kick their asses!
Ashley laughed –And we got to be in a match together again! –She yelled excited.
-Awesome. –He smiled hugging her.
-Do you think that HBK will have a problem with that?
-Why should him, punkie?
-Cause you know, he's an icon and I'm just-
-The women's champ, baby. And not because you're beautiful or because you posed for Playboy. You won the title in the ring and you deserve it. Don't let Melina's words get to you.
-Okay, -she smiled reassured and gave him a kiss- now let's get ready for this match!
---
20 minutes later Ashley and John were waiting behind the curtain for the start of their match. He was wearing a pair of his green shorts, the black Assault Battalion t-shirt, his military cap and a pair of white pumps. To be in tune with him and HBK, Ashley was wearing a pair of military pants, her white "Bad Kitty" top with underneath a black bra, her black Chain Gang cap on straight hair and a pair of white Reebok as John's.
As she was taking on a pair of fingerless black gloves, their partner joined them. He was wearing his black & green pants and the newest DX t-shirt.
-Hey kids. –He said with a smirk.
-Hey. –Ashley greeted him with a smile as John remained silent.
-Are you ready? –The heartbreak kid asked.
-Sure! –The dirty diva nodded with another smile.
…Bow down to the masters, break it down!
As his music started to play he patted John's tag team belt and before disappearing he said with a wink –See ya out there partners.
Ashley gave John a quick kiss on the lips, then she adjusted her cap backwards and placed the women's belt on the shoulder; John put his WWE title around his waist and the other one on his shoulder, then he smiled at her.
-Oh my gosh –she laughed- we have championships anywhere!
He smiled amused and take her hand as his theme started to play. –Let's go baby.

As soon as they appeared the crowd went wild. Ashley made her 'rock on' thing and patted her belt; John made his military salute and then raised his title as she pointed at him. They walked towards the ring hand in hand, then he slid into it and the dirty diva followed him as HBK hold the ropes open for her.
-Thanks. –She smiled before going on the turnbuckle and raising her belt.
As MNM made their way to the ring the new trio gave their belts to the referee, then John and Shawn took out their t-shirts throwing them to the crowd. When Melina was ready to make her custom entrance Ashley rolled her eyes and covered her boys' ones with her hands as John smiled amused.
-I start, okay?- HBK asked.
-'K. –John nodded.
-Hey! –HBK called out making him turn as he and Ashley were going into the corner- I got your back.
-Same here.
---
So the match started with HBK vs Mercury; the showstopper was having the upper hand when after running against the ropes Melina hold his foot giving Mercury enough time to make the tag. Nitro started to work on HBK's back helped by his partner's interferences when Melina distracted the referee. So when with an irish whip Nitro sent him against the turnbuckle and they started to choke the DX member both John and Ashley ran into the ring as the ref tried to hold them.
Back in the middle of the ring Mercury who had just made the tag was still working on Shawn as Ashley started to clap her hands to cheer him up as the crowd followed her and John bounced up and down stretching out his hand towards his partner.
Eventually Shawn reached him and made the tag. Immediately John hit Mercury with his set of moves; as he was lying on the mat the WWE champ ran against the ropes and, making sure to send Nitro off the apron with an elbow, hit the 5 knuckles shuffle.
-C' mon! Go John! –Ashley yelled making the word life sign.
Then with Mercury still on the mat HBK went on the turnbuckle and hit him with a flying elbow; as Nitro entered the ring John knocked him out with a FU and so Shawn got ready to hit with a Sweet Chin Music the other MNM member that was slowly standing up. But then Melina ran in the middle of the ring, just in HBK's direction, so he he'd not hit Mercury and infact he stopped when he realized that he was going to hit the diva; at this point Ashley ran inside and knocked Melina out with a spear, starting then to hit her with a series of punches. Shawn finally completed his SCM and John added a FU. 1,2,3!
As Lillian announced the winners Ashley let Melina go and ran to hug first John and then HBK.
-Yeah! –She yelled excited raising their arms.
-Well done kid. –The heartbreak kid smirked patting her shoulder and turned to take his belt from the referee.
As she raised again John's arm he chuckled and leaned over to quickly kiss her… when he realized that Shawn was actually moving towards them…
-Duck! –The WWE champ yelled taking a shocked Ashley down with him and HBK hit with a Sweet Chin Music Nitro who was standing behind John with a steel chair in his hands.
-I told I got your back. – He explained with a smirk, opening his arms as it was matter-of-factly.
John just nodded raising his belts as Ashley leaned forward to yell back at Melina who was screaming something against her. The self proclaimed 'most dominant diva' gestured for Ashley's belt and she replied with a smirk –You'd better watch it bitch!- as John raised her hand and then put an arm around her shoulders.
In the next chapter Ashley will be the guest of the Cutting Edge!
