I stood around as old stories of D-X were being told. Everyone laughed, and joked around. Maybe these rumors were true. Maybe tonight was the start of the reunion of D-Generation X.
"You got to witness something great." Matt told me on the drive to the hotel.
"I was amazed." I said. "I knew Triple H made that statement that he would never set foot inside the ring with any of them again."
"I'd be really happy if they decided to do that all over again." Jeff said. "Maybe we could have a chance to go against them."
"Not with Triple H." I brought up. "Remember."
"Right, well we could go against the New Age Outlaws." He said. "That would be Road Dogg and Billy Gunn."
"I know." I said. "And, I'm thrown in the middle of all this D-X stuff."
"What do you mean?" Jeff asked.
"Well, now I'm Shawn's personal escort. Every solo match he does, I'm right there with him." I answered.
"Oh, right." He said. "What if you're asked to join D-X?"
"I wouldn't be." I said. "I mean, I have Team Xtreme. I couldn't leave."
The rest of the ride was quiet. I wanted to go to Shawn's room and tell him what I felt about this. That I didn't want to get too involved. That if D-X picked up, I didn't want to be involved with that. I told Matt and Jeff what I was doing and they said OK they wouldn't wait up.
"Who is it?" Shawn called.
"Me, Destiny." I told him.
"What brings you here?" He asked. He let me in.
"I need to say something." I answered. "I know you want me to be your personal escort, but I don't want to get too involved-"
"I see." He said. "Don't worry, I know you have Team Xtreme and you are very devoted to that. I respect that. All I ask is for you to walk with me to the ring. You don't even have to fight if you don't want to. And, if anything happens with D-X I wouldn't ask you to drop out of Team Xtreme."
"Thank you." I said. "And, I will be the best damn escort you ever had."
He smiled and let me out. Walking back to my room I saw Matt waiting outside. I was surprised to see him out. We were leaving tomorrow morning and usually he's the one yelling at me and Jeff to stop screwing around and go to bed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Waiting for you." He answered.
"You know we have to leave." I said.
"I know."
"Figured you'd be in bed or something." He's the party animal when they don't have to go anywhere the next day.
"Not tonight." He said.
"What is it that you want?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go for a swim?"
"Now?"
"It's perfect. No one is there." He said. It was like I could read his mind when he said that.
"Sure, let me change."
I went into my room followed by Matt. I grabbed my bathingsuit and changed into the bathroom. We walked silently to the pool. It was still open. Even at like midnight. Matt dived in off the divingbored while I took the stairs.
"It's cold." I said wrapping my arms around myself.
"It'll get warm." He said. "Just have to get used to it."
He swam over to me and started to tickle me. I screeched and went under trying to shake him away. When we surfaced he snuck in a kiss. Then I definitely knew what was up. He moved me against the pool wall, still kissing me. He untied the strap of my bathingsuit top.
It was late night, the only light was by the half moon above us. I looked up at his hotel room, and mine next to it. It made me feel bad that were down here having the time of our lives, while Jeff was alone. That feeling was short lived when this feeling came over me and I let our a scream. Matt told me to shut up. He didn't want anyone to wake up.
I woke up the next morning back in my bed. I knew I did something wrong. It was all I could think about. The pool, the passion, sex, it all. I actually felt guilty. Even though it was so good! But, anyway, that's besides the point. I had gotten my things together. We were leaving today.
"You doing anything with D-X tonight?" Hunter asked me.
"I'm not sure yet." I answered. "I'd have to talk to Vince or to Shawn." We saw Trish walk out of her room. She smiled at us and walked. Hunter's head turned to her.
"You know she's the same slut out of the ring as she is in the ring." I told him. I took his chin and turned his head forward. "You're almost as bad as Adam."
"I'd do the same to you." He said with a smile. "But, Jay would kick my ass for that. You know you do make a great couple."
I smiled. The plan was going along fine. We were going to show up together and really lay it on thick for everyone. Time for us to really get them asking questions. We had everything planned out. What we'd say and do. It was flawless.
We met up before we left to go over it all. Make sure we had it all fine.
"And, we're going to walk in together, and you're going to tag with me." He told me.
"Right." I replied.
"This is going to blow everyone's mind."
"Right."
"You seem spaced out. You OK?" He asked.
"I slept with Matt." I blurted. "Well, it was in the pool."
"You didn't?"
"I did." I answered. I dropped my head.
"Well." He said at a lose for words.
"Screws everything up doesn't it?"
"No, no it's fine." He answered. "Just weird."
"He's gonna talk to me about it. I know it."
"Don't worry."
He told me that it was fine and that if we do this right, he won't mention it. Fat chance. Then, he brought up this crush that no one knows about.
"I'll make it public." I said. We were driving to the arena.
"Wonder how he's going to feel knowing that you did me, Adam, and now Matt before you got to him."
"I hope nothing." I said thinking about that.
"Well, if he really likes you then I don't see why it would be that important. As long as you don't screw anyone behind his back." He looked at me. "Who is it?"
I wanted to tell him. "I can't say."
"C'mon! This isn't third grade, you can trust me."
"I'll announce it when I want to announce it, OK?"
"All right." He said. "I think you're nuts for announcing it."
"I know."
We pulled into the parking lot. A camera man was there. We made sure he'd get us on tape. And, he did. He taped us walking in. His arm around me and me smiling looking up at him.
"I knew it!" Adam yelled. Everyone came to watch.
"Well, it's about time our boy Jay here got his hands on someone." Dwayne said.
"Why her?" Jeff asked to himself.
"Well, I'm glad it is her." Matt spoke up. "They're perfect together."
"They can't deny this!" Adam said. "I mean, camera got them."
"As you just saw, Destiny and Christian just arriving." Michael Cole said. "What do you think about them? I mean, relationship wise?"
"I don't think much of it." Tazz answered. "I think they're two kids that are just close friends."
Vince told Adam that Jay was going to be involved in a special tag match. So, Adam would have to be alone. He didn't mind much. He said he'd tag along with Matt and Jeff and the three of them could fight together. Vince overthrew that idea.
Me and Jay were going out first. We didn't see any of the guys before out match. Christian's music started. Everyone watching the TV were amazed.
"If you had doubts before, they have to be gone now." Michael Cole said. "Vince did say there was going to be a special tag match."
We walked out to a cheering crowd. We waited until we heard the Radicalz music. Well, two of them any way. Dean and Perry Saturn. I took my place outside the ring while Christian started with Dean. The match was like every other match. And, we won. After, on the platform before we left. I gave Christian an unexpected kiss on the cheek. Then, ran backstage.
I tried to avoid everyone once I got backstage. Hiding out in the bathroom. The sign that says girls on the door doesn't mean a damn thing to them. I heard footsteps.
"What was with the kiss?" It was Jay.
"I'm sorry, I thought it would make it look better."
"Good thinking." He said. I turned to him.
"What did everyone say?"
"The smiled." He answered. "They didn't say much. They asked if it was true. I just said don't worry about it."
"Good." I replied. "What are we going to do when this crush thing goes down?"
"Well, if it works, we just say we're good friends." He answered. "If it doesn't, well we'll see. I'm sure it'll work."
"I don't think it's going to work." I said.
"It will. If whoever it is disses you, their an ass. Because you are so beautiful and so amazing that they would have to be blind if they said no. "
"Thank you." I said. I reached up and hugged him.
"They're gonna wonder where I went." He said. "And, being found in here, with you, would just, well ya know."
"Yes, this is the girls room." I replied. "I'll be right out."
He left unnoticed. I came out five minutes later. Jeff looked at me. He didn't say anything, but I knew he wasn't comfortable. I smiled weakly at him and walked on.
"Well, it's the WWF's newest couple!" Adam said.
"No comment." I replied going to get a drink from the vending machine.
"You can't say no comment. We all saw what went down." He walked to me. "What's up?"
"Ever heard of good friends?" I asked. "Just because we tag together doesn't mean anything."
"Well blah to you." He said sticking his tongue out.
He was, after all, my best bud. And, making him suffer was the best part of all. Me and Jay also left together. Met up with everyone at the hotel. We stood outside waiting for everyone. I was kicking rocks around.
"Fun?" Jay asked.
"Yes!" I answered.
"God, please don't tell me you're getting hyper." He said.
"Yes!"
He took my hand and sat me down on a bench. He told me to stay there. That everyone was taking way too long to get back. I feel asleep on that bench. Don't know how. But, woke up in my bed. I got up and went into the bathroom. I opened my door and saw Mark walk with a cup of coffee.
"Morning." He said.
"Hey, thanks." I replied as he handed me the coffee. "Got this pain in my back and neck."
"I would too if I feel asleep on a bench."
"How did I manage that?"
"Don't look at me." He said.
"So, what brings you here?" I asked. "And, if it has to do with Jay I am not saying a word."
"No, no. I don't care about what you do with Jay." He said. "Just wanted to see if everything was OK."
"Aw, how sweet of you." I said.
"That and, I need to ask you a favor."
"I knew there was a catch." I said. "What could I possibly do for you?"
"On, RAW tonight I need you to help me out." He told me. "Me and Kane got a match against Haku and Rikishi. And, we need some help."
"Me, help you? That would seem odd."
"We're not asking you to run in the arena and stuff, just a small favor when they walk in."
"Also would seem weird since I beat you with a chair that one match." I said. "But, in any case, I'll do it."
I told him that if anyone asks, I did it on my own account. No one asked me to do it. He said he and Kane would disregard the chair thing if it worked out. Even if it didn't, they would forget it ever happened. They would continue to beat the crap out of Edge and Christian, but would leave me alone. It's a good deal.
He left and I showered. After, I went through the TV. There was a notice about a new channel, channel WWF. It will be a channel that is going to be 100% dedicated to the WWF. Showing all matches, even PPV's. Also having interviews you won't see anywhere else. I called Vince's room to find out more about it.
"It's true." He said. "The idea was pitched to me a month ago, and it's finally happening."
"I think it's a great idea." I told him. "But, I have one question. Is it going to be all about the characters we play?"
"No, not always. It's going to show every match. Now, people will be able to see the matches we have that usually no one sees. And, special interviews and things. Dealing with both the characters and who you really are."
"It's a great idea." I said. "It's going to be a lot to handle."
"I know. I have a great staff. I'm going to tell everyone tonight about it. Asking for help and whatnot."
"I'll help." I said. "Do whatever you want. Host anything."
"Sweet of you." He said. "I'll think about it. Michael Cole is going to be the news guy for us. Doing both news about what goes on in the ring and what goes on outside. I need to find him a CO-host."
"Hello! What have I been saying?" I asked.
He laughed, then said, "like I said, I'll think about it. It would be a lot for you. I mean, with all the matches that aren't shown, being shown, it's going to be a hell of a lot of work. It's going to be hard to get these guys to agree to do more."
"What about what goes on backstage? I mean, not everyone is going to get this channel, are they?"
"We're trying to have that happen. Make it a cable channel. But, it's not looking that way. If we do, it will be shown on recaps on RAW and Smackdown."
"Right. Do you plan to have the cameras on us outside the ring now?"
"Nah, I think you get that enough while you're at the arenas. But, there's going to be a ton of interviews and shows and things. Also, showing old matches and things. Should be a great show."
"Sounds like it." I said. "And, like I said before, I am willing to help."
"OK, thank you."
I hung up and knocked on Matt and Jeff's door. Jeff answered. "What's up?"
"Was talking with Vince." I said.
"He changed his mind about the Dudleyz." Matt said.
"No! I heard of the TV about an all WWF channel, called channel WWF. Dedicated 100% to the WWF."
"Sweet." Jeff said.
"It is. Vince is going to talk about it tonight to y'all. It's a really awesome idea." I sat on Jeff's bed. "You should help out. I am."
"What's it all about?" Matt asked.
"Well, those matches we have Friday, sometimes Saturday and Sunday's? Well, they'll be shown on the TV. But, there's no backstage action. It's just a channel that shows who you are in and out of the ring."
"That's a lot of work. Worry about all them matches, and then a TV show." Matt said.
"Plus interviews, two different news shows." I added. "It's a way to define your character in the ring and who you are when the cameras are off."
"You'd be our journalist!" Jeff said with a smile.
"I would, wouldn't I?"
"Lets not worry now." Matt said. "We have until tonight. I want to go out."
"Where?" Jeff asked.
"I don't know. I don't want to go to a mall, and I don't want to just walk out."
"Do you want to drive around?" I asked. "Maybe we can find something. Like a movie theater or something."
"I'm down with that." He said.
Jeff nodded. I waited as they got ready. We walked into Mark before leaving. I smiled at him. Jay and Adam were in the parking lot along with the rest of the gang, Rocky, Hunter, Chris, and Glenn was there as well. Mark was on his way out.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Basketball." Jay answered throwing me the ball. I made a shot, missed. "It's not my sport."
"Mine either." Rocky said out of breath. "Where you off to?"
"No where, really." Matt answered. "Just driving around."
"Don't get lost!" Adam told us.
"We won't!" I replied back.
"We're going out to dinner at like 6 or so." Hunter told us.
"It's like eleven now. We'll definitely be back by then." Matt said.
"OK." Hunter said. "Have fun."
"We're going out to dinner?" I asked, once in the back-seat.
"Guess so." Jeff answered.
"This idea, about this TV channel, seems kind of odd." Matt brought up. "Not that it's a bad idea, it's not. It's just, why would someone waist time on the WWF?"
"We're an icon!" Jeff said proudly. "Touching the hearts of millions."
"But, you don't see other sports have their own channel." Damn, Matt can be difficult.
"Maybe the channels that air the matches are discontinuing them." I brought up. "In any case, this is a big thing. A great way for die hard fans to get together. Who knows what kind of shows we can put together."
"I just think it's weird. No one's paid any attention to us before. We have to fight to be considered a sport." He said. "Maybe it's just for money."
"Money's not an issue." I said.
"You don't know that." He replied.
"Matt, shut up." Jeff interjected. "I think it's a good idea, one that will benefit us. Give us exposure and all that. So, stop complaining."
"You want to get involved?" Matt asked.
"I do. I asked Vince about it and told him I want in."
"You do know how much work will be involved. Extra work."
"I'm all for it."
"As long as you understand."
Matt wasn't so sure about this. It did have an odd ring to it. I mean, a TV channel that is 100% dedicated to the WWF? Why not baseball or football or something? I guess the popularity of the WWF was growing? Who knows.
"We should help out." Jeff brought up a few minutes later.
"If you want." Matt said.
"This is a good thing, Matt," Jeff told him. "Wouldn't hurt to help out."
"I'm just not convinced yet."
Matt doesn't jump into situations like these very fast. It was a new idea, something to get used to and he was going to wait it out. See if it was worth it all. I thought it was, Jeff was beginning to.
"Look!" I cried. "A park!"
"I'm guessing you want to stop and look around?" Matt asked.
"Yes, sir!" I answered.
We parked the car and go out. It was a perfect day just to walk around the park. Couples were everywhere. Made me feel kind of upset. I wanted a true boyfriend, not someone that I would have for one night and would leave in the morning. Didn't want what I had with Adam, Jay, and Matt. I wanted a true relationship.
"Glad it's a nice day." Matt said.
"We're lucky." I replied looking up.
"Looking at that kinda makes me upset." Jeff said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Nasty breakup with my last girlfriend. Don't want to get into details."
"I understand." I said.
We walked around for a little. Looking at the park and what have you. It really was the perfect day. We talked more about this new channel. The more we talked the more Matt gave into it. We left shortly after and returned to the hotel. The basketball game was over. In it's place was weight lifting. All of us were quick to join them.
"Where we going to eat?" I asked.
"No where special." He answered. "Just to like a diner. I'm sick of hotel food."
"Vince is holding a meeting after the matches tonight." I said. "So, stick around. Don't leave."
"OK." Everyone said, at one time.
"Woah, that was freaky!" I said with a laugh.
After lifting we returned to our rooms to get ready to go to the diner. We walked there. It was down the block. We had to be the nosiest group in there. Laughing at matches gone wrong.
"I went to do the jump and I slipped and fell." Matt said. "The turnbuckle slammed against you know what and I was crying."
"I remember!" Jeff shrieked. "I was laughing so hard."
"You feel off the turnbuckle." Matt said.
"Right." Jeff replied. "Went do to a jump and my feet got all like messed up and I tripped and fell back."
"I tried to bounce off the ropes and I fell right over them." Hunter said.
"Same here." Jericho spoke up. "Moonsault gone wrong. My leg got caught in the ropes and I just, well I don't really know what happened."
We were laughing as everyone spilt their embarrassing moments. Rocky told everyone about how he tripped running down the ramp. Yes, even the People's Camp makes mistakes. I have yet to have an embarrassing moment. But, I know I was sure to get one.
"We better go." Hunter said looking at his watch.
We figured the tip out and left. Still going on about embarrassing moments and what have you. I was thinking of what I was going to do to Rikishi and Haku at the matches tonight. We didn't have any problems yet. But, after tonight, I knew we would.
We arrived on time. A little early. Vince was standing at the door saying he wanted to speak to us all. I guess that meeting was changed to before the matches. Anyway, we all went to where the ring was and listened to what he had to say. He told everyone exactly what he told me. How this new station would work. Everyone seemed cool with it.
"Finally, we're recognized." Hunter said as we walked to our locker rooms.
"That's what I said." I replied.
"Vince kept looking you way when he said he needed our help." Jericho mentioned.
"I know, because I told him I would help out any way I could." I said.
"Sounds like you." Adam said.
We parted ways to go into our locker rooms. I changed into my Team Xtreme shirt and pair of black jeans. I was thinking about the chair thing with Taker and Kane and what they would say about me. Since I was doing this on "my own account", what would they say about that? Never a dull moment here in the WWF.
Anyway, after I changed and went to the parking lot. The cameras followed me as I sat and waited. While sitting there, Taker and Kane came in and looked at me. Then, after that, Michael Cole mentioned what happened with the chairs on Smackdown and replayed the clip.
The cameras returned after Edge and Christian beat the Japanese dudes. At that time, Haku and Rikishi had come in, and there I was with chairs beating them. I left them on the floor and went in to wait for my match, then a commercial break.
"You just saw before the commercial break Destiny beating Haku and Rikishi with chairs." Michael Cole said.
"Destiny's getting into some trouble." Tazz said. "Knew I liked her."
"Haku and Rikishi are set to take on Undertaker and Kane later on tonight. Now, why would she attack Rikishi and Haku?" Cole asked. "She did do a number to Undertaker with a chair on Smackdown."
"Michael, shut up." Tazz told him. "The girl's got some guts if you ask me."
Hardyz music started. I was tagging with Matt, of all people, today. Jeff got to walk around the ring. We were up against Dean and Eddie. I was ready to kick some ass. Matt took his spot in the ring, and me outside. Jeff was talking to me as we watched Matt. Telling me weaknesses and all that.
I got the tag and came out against Dean. I had some good shots until a boot to the face knocked me over. There was a plan here. Eddie ran to Matt and started beating him. He threw Jeff into the stairs. He remained on the ground for a while. Then, dragged Matt to his side of the ring. Dean was now in control. Eddie should have gotten Jeff worse, because when he got up he rushed to my aid. The ref had been knocked out in the Dean's whirl wind of wrath.
He did a perfect Swanton to break a pin up. Hitting me too, but I recovered, rolling over. Jeff took Dean out. By this time, Matt had gotten control on Eddie and returned to the ring. Just as Jeff left and just has the ref started coming around. He clapped his hands to fake a tag and dragged me out, finishing the job with a Twist Of Fate. We had won.
I was in Jeff's arms. Dean had done a number to me. I couldn't escape anything. He helped me walk off as Matt continued to yell. We had gotten backstage and Jeff sat me down. The cameras were on Haku and Rikishi who were plenty pissed about what I had done.
Once I came around, I was walking down the hall when they came after me. I heard something, and when I turned there they were, just looking at me. I looked right at them back and bitch slapped them both and took off.
Soon enough their match came around. Taker and Kane heard about what I had done from a stage hand. They were out looking for them when this stage hand said they were looking for me because I had attacked them. They were confused about it. Taker and Kane won that match and then walked to where I was sitting.
"I'm sorry about Smackdown." I said.
"Don't worry." Taker said. "Did us a good favor today."
"Going after Rikishi and Haku." Kane added.
"Oh, it was nothing." I said.
Taker patted my shoulder and Kane nodded, and they were off. I had to change now for the main event. I was going to escort Shawn again. This time, I found myself wearing a long skirt with the highest slits and a small halter top. His music hit and we walked out. Then, you heard Stone Cold's music.
Shawn was in trouble. He was coming back and against the Texas Rattle Snake. X-Pac ran in to help, and Shawn picked up the win. While walking back, X-Pac did the "Suck It" motion, and Shawn followed suit. D-X was heading for the right track.
"Very, very nice outfit." Adam said as I came back.
"Thank you." I replied with a turn.
"I really could get used to this." He said with a smile.
I changed into my regular clothes. We were leaving tomorrow for a new destination. Tape Smackdown. I was wondered about how this D-X thing would go. Where I was going with Team Xtreme, how this eight man deal was going to end up. And, what was my relationship with Undertaker and Kane going to be like?
