Author's Notes: Hmmm… I'm not exactly happy at the way the format has been changed on ff.nte – it looks so nice and neat on my copy!!! *sighs* c'est la vie, c'est la vie (my new motto I think cos I keep saying it so much!!). As you may have guess I don't own any of the characters, and definitely not the idea behind this story. If you want to use this fic for your site please ask first: not just cos like to know where my work is going but also cos then I can send u the nice, neat version!!!!

Act 1 Scene 2

(end of Commercial break)

J.R.: And we're back folks live on Verona is War!!!! As if what we've already seen here tonight hasn't been controversial enough for you just wait until you see what happened during the break!!

(cut to backstage where we are following the Dudley allies trooping away after the lecture Vince gave them. We see Grand Master Sexy leave the main group when he spots a person sitting dejectedly on some boxes to one side of the backstage area)

GMS: Yo Spike!!! Wasssaaapppp homie!! Spike? Why you so low bro? Right-end that frown for ya pal here

Spike: It's no good Grand Master, you might as well let me be, I'm not going to cheer up for a looong time

GMS: Man, are you still KO'd about that Trish chick? Get over it!!!! There are plenty of hotties left there – just be cool, like me!!

Spike: Cool? How can I be cool after she turned me down like that in front of every one!! And then allied herself and T & A with the Holly's!!!! It was so embarrassing!!!!

GMS: That bird is whack man – I told u as much!! She's turn's ya lights on and but won't turn them off when she's done!! She's just a conniving, manipulative tea-

Spike: Hey!! You can't talk about Trish like that!!!

GMS: (pretends to blow out a fire) Cool it lover-boy!!!! Now just listen to my fly vision here, I know of this party that's happening tonight – it may not be all that hip but if we go it'll sure be hopping!!! Plus Lady Marmalade herself'll be cameo-ing.

Spike: Trish is gonna be there?? Then what are we waiting for, where is it???

GMS: This'll be why we'll be hopping if we go and get caught – it's in the Holly locker-room

Spike: WHAT!! No way, uh-huh, no way man. Don't you remember who I am? I'm a DUDLEY!!

GMS: And your family has had beef with the Holly's for years…. Chill man!!! I know the 411 on this. But for Trish….

Spike: You promise me she's going to be there??

GMS: No lie homie

Spike: Isn't this their annual costume party because we're gonna need some really good ones.

(Scene ends with GMS getting up, crowing and then doing the Thrillar while Spike looks on in amazement. Cut back to the announcing positions where J.R. is shaking his head and Heyman is grinning evilly)

Heyman: This is going to be a carnage, a blood-bath, a –

J.R.: I think we all figured that one out for ourselves Paul (as he rolls his eyes)

Heyman: - a suicide mission, a –

J.R.: (interrupting Heyman, not that he's noticed) And now we're taking you live to events now happening inside the Holly locker-room.

(cut to the Holly lockeroom where Crash is pacing up and down acting out a story to Molly and Debra who are sitting in the far corner while Debra sorts out Molly's hair)

Crash: I sure showed them Moll!! Bam, bam!!! First it was a left jab, then a right hook!!! Bam!! Bam some more and down they all went and I did it all by myself!!!

(door slams and Hardcore enters)

Crash: Cousin, have I got a tale to tell you - you won't believe what I did!! Those nasty Dudleyz went out to the ring to cause trouble so I went out and I did try'ta stop'em but I –

Hardcore: Got your ass kicked??? Boy of course I just heard about it – I've just spent the past 10 minutes in Vince's office hearing about it and now you've gone and ruined everything you idiot!! (smacks Crash on the back of the head)

Crash: Oww Cousin, that really hurt!!!!

Hardcore: Well it was meant to you moron!!! And I'm gonna keep doing it til I knock some sense into that puny little brain of yours (he whacks him again) What the HELL were u thinking???

Crash: (whines) but they started it!!!

Hardcore: I don't give a damn about who started it – now none of us can end it thanks to Vince unless we wanna get fired? Dammit boy, you knew I had had something planned for Smackdown but now it's not gonna happen!!!

Crash: But it wasn't my fault!!

(Hardcore and Crash continue to argue as the camera pans round to the far corner where Molly and Debra are sitting, with Debra still fixing Molly's hair into her pig-tails)

Molly: Debra!!! Ewww!!! They're sooo….. icky!! And besides, I'm to young to have a boyfriend, not that my cousins would let me anyway

Debra: And why shouldn't you have a young beau? Why, when I was your age I was already out courting and I'd – (she realises who she's talking to) – courted. No, it's about time we found you a nice young man to settle down with. Maybe you'll catch the eye of someone at the party tonight. (giggles) Who knows, maybe by Smackdown, we may even have you settled down!!!! (she laughs some more)

Molly: (blushing) Gee Debra can we talk about something else? I mean, if I meet someone tonight, I'll meet someone tonight. If I don't meet that one tonight then I won't. I guess what I'm really trying to say is it's all down to fate.

(Fade out until picture cuts back to Heyman and J.R., one of whom is still grinning that evil, manic grin and the other now has his head in his hands)

Heyman: Oh it's fate at work here tonight! It's gonna be Spike Dudley's fate to get his butt kicked by the Holly's when they realise it's him!!!
