"Angel, I'm Gregory Helms. Reporter for the Daily Globe. You're in
a tag team match with Jeff Hardy instead of that great superhero, The
Hurricane. What's up wit dat?!"
"Gregory, it's simple. Jeff and I are great partners. That's all there is to it!" I said pulling on my arm bands and walking out the door, leaving Gregory to rubbing his goatee.
"Case, good luck tonight," Chris said kissing my cheek softly. "How are you feeling tonite, raccoon girl?"
"I'm aight, but if you call me raccoon girl again I'll have to kick your ass," I answered.
He chuckled and walked away. I walked up to a crouching Jeff and put my hand on his shoulder softly. Surprised, his head sprang up and looked at me. A smile slowly crept across his face as he stood.
"Are you ready for this?" he asked.
"Totally," I said.
"Are you sure you don't want to just ask Vince to have you partner up with Shane?" Jeff asked grabbing my hands.
"Why would I want to do that?" I asked starring into his crystal green eyes.
"Casey, I know you still have feelings for him," Jeff answered looking at the floor.
"Jeff, I can't lie to you. I still have SOME feelings for him. But I don't love him." Jeff looked at me with a smile on his face.
"And who do you love?" he asked.
"You Jeff and only you!" I kissed him passionately. I ran my hands through his soft multi-colored hair. He put one hand on the back of my neck and grabbed my ass with his other hand.
"I love you Casey. You're the one for me. I want to marry you. Will you be my wife?" Jeff asked holding my hands tightly in his.
"Jeff, I would love to be your wife!" I responded with a smile.
"HOLY SHIT!" Jeff exclaimed sitting up in his bed. He rubbed his face with his hands and looked at the clock. "Oh God. I have to stop this angle before it gets too far into it." Jeff climbed out of his bed and jumped in the shower.
"Casey, I want you to be my wife, but I don't think you love me like you say you do. I think you still love Shane." I looked at the back of my mysterious rainbow. I sighed deeply as I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed it slightly.
"I love you. Not Shane. He's my past. You're my present and future. And if you'll have me, I'd be honored to be your wife," I said kissing his neck lightly. I moved my hands around to the front of him and rubbed them up and down his chest.
"Casey, get up. We leave for Mississippi in 2 hours," Shane announced snapping me out of my dream. I groaned and moaned as I slowly crawled out of the bed and made my way into the bathroom.
I sat next to the window on the plane next to Shane. I looked out the window and thought about how RAW was gonna go for Jeff and I. I sighed as Shane rested his head on my shoulder and began to snore quietly.
"Jeff, what's wrong man?" Chris asked in a whisper. Jeff lifted his head off the window and looked at him.
"Nothing really," he replied.
"Man, ever since you and Casey started this weird angle you've been kinda messed up," Chris said.
"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong." Jeff focused his attention on the clouds floating by.
"Whatever you say," Chris said with a shrug as he pulled his headphones on. Jeff glanced over at him as he closed his eyes and banged his head along with the beat of Fozzy. Jeff sighed and rested his head on the plane window before falling into a restless sleep.
"Hey Angel, I wanted to give you something before we went out there tonite for the tag team titles against the Dudleyz. It's kinda a Valentine's Day gift, even though it's a little early. But anyways, here," Jeff said handing me a gift wrapped in silver wrapping paper. I smiled as I ripped the paper off of a small gift box. I opened the box to reveal a bracelet made from colorful yarn. "It's a friendship bracelet. I made it myself last nite. One for you and one for me."
"It's great Jeff. Thank you so much. I absolutely love it," I said as I allowed him to tie it on my wrist. I leaned in and kissed his cheek softly. I pulled away and looked into his eyes.
"Good luck tonite," Rob said as he walked up next to us in the hall.
"Oh, hey, thanks man. You too," Jeff said shaking Rob's hand.
"Just be careful out there. Watch out for the tables," Rob said.
"We'll try," I said as Jeff and I walked away together.
"Are you ready for this, Case?" Jeff asked as I stood next to Marc.
"Yeah, sure," I said staring at the back of the curtain.
"We'll try and go easy on you two tonite," Marc said with a smile. "And good luck."
"We don't need your good luck!" I said with a New York accent to match his. He chuckled as he put his arm around my neck and pulled me into him. "Watch the paint there buddy!"
"The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Tag Team Championship. Entering the ring first, weighing in at a combined weight of 515 lbs. The current WWE Tag Team Champions, THE DUDLEY BOYZ!" D- Von and Bubba walked out to a huge pop. They were definitely one of the best tag teams ever and it was an honor to go up against them. They walked down the ramp to the crowd already chanting "WE WANT TABLES." It was gonna be a tough nite.
'Since I was born they couldn't hold me down Another misfit kid, another burned-out town'
I chuckled a bit as Team Extreme's new song began. Jeff tilted his head to the side and lifted an eyebrow. He shook his head slightly and laughed himself.
'Never played by the rules I never really cared My nasty reputation takes me everywhere'
"How much does this song fit us?!" he exclaimed as we stepped onto the stage. There was silver, purple, green, and blue pyro falling from the top of the screen.
'I look and see it's not only me So many others have stood where I stand We are the young so raise your hands'
The crowd gave us a massive pop as we banged our heads to the beat of our music. The crowd began to sing along to the chorus as we ran down the ramp slapping hands.
'They call us problem child We spend our lives on trial We walk an endless mile We are the youth gone wild We stand and we won't fall We're the one and one for all The writing's on the wall We are the youth gone wild'
"Now entering the ring from Cameron, North Carolina. The new Team Extreme, MYSTIC ANGEL and JEFF HARDY!" We slid into the ring next to each other and jumped onto the posts giving off the gunz. We had a stare off with the Dudleyz in the middle of the ring before I hit fists with Jeff and got out of the ring. I pounded on the post to get Jeff fired up as he went up against Bubba. Jeff was getting the Bubba shuffle as the crowd started chanting for tables again. I turned around and glared at them all. 'No way in hell am I goin through a table tonite!' I thought as I rubbed my stomach. I had received bruised ribs the nite before from a table match against the Dudleyz at a house show. Jeff had Bubba down and he tagged me in.
"IMAGI-HELL!!" I yelled as Jeff lifted me in the air. I landed on Bubba and went for the cover. He kicked out on the two count and I let him get to his feet. I dropped kicked him and he stumbled backwards into the ropes. I ran at him in a cross body and he went over the ropes. D-von climbed in and came after me, throwing out chops. Jeff came in and helped me out. We began to double team him as Bubba came back in. He grabbed my arm and whipped me into the ropes as the ref pushed Jeff and D-von out. I ran at him and he back body dropped me. Bubba and D-von got ready for the wass-up headbutt, but I moved my way out of his hold and scrambled to get to Jeff. I rolled out of the ring and Jeff flew in at Bubba. Bubba quickly tagged in D-von. Jeff and D-von went at it for awhile. Jeff was down and the Dudleyz saw their chance. Bubba bumped me off the apron and I fell hard on the mats.
"D-VON!!! GET THE TABLES!!!" Bubba yelled hitting his partner's chest. D-von slid out of the ring and dove under it to grab a table. I slid into the ring, holding my stomach, and drop kicked Bubba in the back. The ref was too busy yelling at D-von to get back in the ring. Jeff and I double teamed Bubba and by the time the ref had turned around, I was out of the ring and Jeff had Bubba's leg hooked. The ref began the three count.
"And here are your winners. The new tag team champions, TEAM EXTREME!!!" I jumped into the ring and jumped into Jeff's open arms. I placed my lips roughly on his and slid down his body. The ref split us up and handed us our new belts. He raised our hands in the air as "Youth Gone Wild" played. We walked out of the ring and up the ramp, waving at the fans on our way.
"Tag team champs!" I exclaimed hugging Jeff tightly.
"I never really thought I would get this belt without Matt," Jeff said holding the belt up.
"I'm sorry that I'm not Matt," I said sadly.
"Angel, no, don't be. I'm glad I won this with you. Really, I am," Jeff said throwing his belt over his shoulder and putting his hands on my arms.
"I'm glad that I won them with you too," I said softly. We slowly moved towards each other and kissed softly. I pulled away and looked at him with my eyes wide in shock. "I can't do this!"
I ran off and Jeff hung his head. I ran all the way to the Diva's locker room and threw my belt against the wall as well as my fist. "UGH!!!!" I screamed as Trish came out of the showers in a towel.
"Whoa. What's the matter girl?" she asked as I pulled a towel out of my bag. I glared at her and stormed off to the showers.
"NOTHING!" I yelled.
"Okay, whatever," she said crossing her arms.
"CUT!" I walked out of the shower area and looked at Trish with a tear rolling down my cheek.
"Casey, are you alright?" she asked walking over to me and putting her arms around me in a hug.
"I hurt so bad," I said as I tried to hold in my tears.
"What hurts?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"My ribs." She sat me down on the bench and I cringed in pain. I hunched over as I held in my tears.
"I'm gonna go get one of the medics. Stay here," she said running out the door.
"Case?" Stacy said picking her head in the door. "Hey! I wanted to...are you alright?"
"No, but Trish is goin to get help," I said holding onto my stomach.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"My ribs. They hurt so bad," I cried.
"It's gonna be okay," she said putting a comforting arm around my back.
"Case!" Shane yelled running into the locker room. He crouched down in front of me and held my hands. "Trish told me that you're ribs are bothering you. Were they before the match?"
I just stared at him with pain in my eyes. I swallowed hard and he moved a piece of blue hair out of my face. "Baby, tell me the truth. Were they hurting before?"
"Yes, they were," I replied.
"Oh, Case. Why didn't you tell someone?" he asked brushing my cheek with the back of his hand.
"I wanted to wrestle tonite. I wanted the titles," I cried.
"I understand that, but if you're injuries are giving you enough pain to make you cry than you should have informed someone," Shane said.
"Casey?" Nick, one of the medics, said as he walked in the room with Trish right behind him.
"Hey," I said through the pain.
"Your ribs again?" he asked as Shane moved to allow him to kneel in his spot.
"Yeah, worse than last nite," I said as I let a tear slip down my face.
"Well, that fall to the mat will do that to you," Nick said as he laid me down on the bench. He pulled my shirt up slightly and began squeezing and pushing on my stomach. "Were they really bothering you this afternoon or this morning or even an hour before you went out?"
"Yes," I replied.
"And you didn't tell anyone?" he said looking at me.
"No."
"Casey, you are going to really injury yourself if you continue doing this. First it was your neck, then your wrist, then your back, and now your ribs. I'm sending you to the hospital to get x-rays done. I still think they're just bruised, but there's always that possibility that there is more and worse damage. Especially since you didn't tell anyone," he said with a sigh as he pulled down my shirt. He helped me into a sitting position and Shane sat next to me. "I'll see you all later."
"Thank you Nick," Shane said slipping his arm around me softly. "Come on baby. Let's get those x-rays done."
I nodded and Shane helped me stand as we walked out of the locker room. Jeff was leaning up against one of the metal cases that held supplies and wiping off his face. He watched walk by and knew something was up. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked with concern.
"I have to take Case to the hospital to get x-rays done. Could you possibly grab our stuff?" Shane asked not bothering to stop.
"Yeah, sure, but what's wrong?" he asked running up beside us.
"Casey's ribs are bruised and they're really bothering her so Nick thinks that x-rays should be done," Shane explained.
"Okay, be careful. I'll see you both at the hotel then," Jeff said with a sigh.
I sat in an examination room with Shane holding my hand tightly waiting for the results to come back. We sat there for about 10 minutes before the doctor came in carrying a folder.
"Well, I have good news. No ribs are broken, but they are severely bruised. There's nothing I can really tell you to do except take it easy. Stay out of the ring, but I know you wrestlers well enough to know that you're not going to listen to me. But if you don't take at least a couple days off, you could injury yourself much worse. Please just be careful and cautious," the doctor explained.
"Thank you," Shane said as he helped me off the table. We left the hospital and went back to the hotel. "Case, you're taking these next two house shows off. You are going to permanently injury yourself."
"Shane, I'll be fine. I just need to rest tonite and I'll be fine for the house show tomorrow," I said as I laid down on the bed slowly.
"I'm going to get our stuff from Jeff's room. I'll be right back." He shook his head before leaving the room.
I fell asleep while he was gone and didn't wake when he got back. I was so exhausted and in too much pain to care about waking up. I didn't hear anything that was said or done in that room.
"Matt, you got the ring for me?" Shane whispered as he talked to Matt on the phone.
"Shane, are you sure you wanna do this?" he questioned.
"Yeah, man, of course. I think she may say yes this time," Shane replied.
"I hope you're right man, cause I don't want to see you upset or hurt again," Matt said.
"I'll be fine. I'll pick up the ring from you tomorrow at the arena."
"Okay, I'll be there."
"Good. So, how does it look?" Shane asked excitedly.
"Man, it's beautiful. I, I got one too. One designed for me I mean. Well, not for me, but you get it," Matt said with a chuckle.
"Are you thinking of doing what I think you're thinking of doing?"
"Yeah, man, I am. Valentine's Day. She's coming home Thursday nite and will be in Cameron with me till Sunday. I just hope she's ready for this commitment."
"I'm sure she is. Don't worry man. We are gonna be marrying the women of our dreams in no time," Shane said as I rolled over with a groan.
"Shane?" I asked a little groggy.
"Yeah, baby?" he whispered.
"Are you coming to bed or what?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm coming." I rolled over and fell back to sleep. "I'll see ya tomorrow Matt. Bye."
"Who were you talking to at 1 in the morning?" I asked.
"Matt. Just some business," he answered with a smile as he crawled in next to me. He carefully wrapped his arms around me and fell asleep.
A/N: Hey all! Sorry for the short chapter and long wait for it. Finals are coming up and I've been having some spontaneous adventures with one of my friends. So it's all been kinda hectic around here. I may get a chapter done this week. If not, I'm sorry and you'll definitely have one after Thursday. Christmas will probably be filled with chapters cause I don't have anything to do for my vacation except sit around and watch boring tv and play video games. Lol So, anyways, thanks for the reviews like normal and I'll try and get another chapter out to ya'll!
"What
"Gregory, it's simple. Jeff and I are great partners. That's all there is to it!" I said pulling on my arm bands and walking out the door, leaving Gregory to rubbing his goatee.
"Case, good luck tonight," Chris said kissing my cheek softly. "How are you feeling tonite, raccoon girl?"
