A/N : I've decided to leave Unforgiven : 21-10-2001 undescribed.Alot did happen at the event but it isn't important for the story.Kurt won the gold from Stone Cold Steve Austin,though.Also I forgot to mention that the title-shot that the Hardy's would get on Smackdown 11-10-2001 did take place,they lost the match.I'm very forgetful sometimes.
Smackdown : 18-10-2001.
Valerie had been released from hospital early in the morning the day before.Her father had picked her up from the hospital with his car instead of his bike thinking it was better if she could rest while they were driving.They arrived at the building in his car and stepped out.
Valerie had a thoughtful look on her face as she grabbed her bag off the backseat.Taker looked at her and
"What's the matter,joyful?.What are you thinking about?"
"I'm worried"
"About what?"
"Austin wasn't very happy about me beating him"
Taker chuckled and said:
"Would you be?"
"No,I guess not" Valerie said with a broad smile.
Taker smiled back and they headed into the building.
They walked into the building together and encountered Michael Cole who requested Valerie's comments on the first blood match that she won on the previous show.Before Valerie could really make a comment,she and her father were attacked by several members of the Alliance.Taker did his best to protect his daughter but there were too many of them.Valerie got knocked down and all Taker could do was shield her with his own body.They received help from Kane,Chris Jericho and the Rock but the damage had been done,Valerie had taken a nasty blow to the head.
Taker carefully helped her up.
"Joyful,are you okay?"
Valerie stood there for a moment and everybody in the hallway was silent.She looked at her father and said:
"They were trying to injure me again,weren't they?"
Taker sighed a sigh of relief when he heard her say that.It meant she wasn't hurt.
"Yeah,they were" Taker said reluctantly.
Valerie nodded slowly and rubbed her head.She giggled.
"They failed"
They all laughed at this.
"Are you sure?" Taker said carefully not wanting to ruin her mood.
"Yeah,I am" Valerie said smiling.
Taker smiled back and ruffled her hair a little.
"Hey" Valerie cried playfully while rearranging her hair.
Taker laughed and put his arm around her as they continued down the hall.After they dropped their bags off in Taker's dressingroom,which had already become Valerie's as well,they decided that they would go to the cafeteria.
They walked in talking and laughing and the first person they encountered was Shane McMahon. Shane stared at Valerie without acknowledging Taker.Valerie stared right back and suddenly smiled.
"Hi Shane,had any good matches lately?"
Shane charged at Valerie but this time he couldn't ignore Taker.Taker stepped in front of Shane while everybody in the cafeteria laughed.Shane left after one last hateful look in Valerie's direction.
Taker looked at Valerie and sighed.
"What?" Valerie asked innocently.
"You shouldn't challenge him like that,joyful"
"He had it coming" Valerie said with a look of determination on her face.
Taker shook his head and sighed again.His daughter was so stubborn sometimes.
That night Valerie stayed in Taker's dressingroom while he and Kane took on Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo of the Alliance.Valerie had begged them to let her come to ringside but both her father and her uncle had been persistent in their answers : NO.
Valerie sighed as she heard her father's themesong coming on.Rollin',Rollin',Rollin'."Yeah" Valerie thought "they're rolling while I'm sitting her doing nothing".
Taker and Kane did very well for themselves out there as was to be expected.The match went on and on and on and Valerie got more and more bored by the second.Than suddenly the Dudley Boyz did a run-in and they helped Sean O'Hair and Chuck Palumbo beat on Taker and Kane.They received the DQ win but the beating continued.
Valerie was freaking out in the dressingroom.She ran out of the dressingroom and to the curtain.She ran through and to the ring receiving a huge pop from the crowd.Jeff Hardy was right behind her.He ran to her and stopped her halfway down the ramp.
"Valerie,you can't go in there"
"But my father's in there"
As they stood there Chris Jericho and the APA flew by them only to be followed by more members of the Alliance.At some point during the fight Taker got his hands on DDP and gave him the last ride.
"That is for my daughter,punk"
Jeff and Valerie were still watching the action when they got knocked down from behind by Hugh Morris who laughed at them as they tryed to get up again.
Jeff jumped on top of Morris,leaving Valerie alone with RVD.Van Dam smirked at her and did his thumb thing.Tommy Dreamer blew by RVD and knocked Valerie down only to be pulled off and pushed away by RVD himself.
Dreamer and Van Dam started fighting and all hell broke loose.The Alliance members that were fighing the WWF in the ring saw the fight between Dreamer and Van Dam and went out to stop them leaving Kane,Taker,Chris Jericho and the APA in the ring.Morris had stepped away from Jeff to stop them as well,leaving Jeff standing there.
Jeff went over to Valerie and helped her up.She was a little dazed and she couldn't focus her eyesight. They got into the ring and Taker glared at Jeff.Jeff didn't say anything,he didn't wanna point the finger at Valerie.Valerie however did speak up.
"Don't look at Jeff like that,I'm the one who decided to come out here,he tryed to stop me"
"I'll talk to you later,young lady" Taker said with a scowl.
In the mean time the Alliance was going through chaos.RVD and Dreamer had been seperated but now there was a fight between O'Haire and Palumbo and the Dudley Boyz about them interfering in their match.Eventually they all went backstage but all was not well in the Alliance.
When Taker and Valerie got backstage with the others Taker immediately scolded Valerie.
"What the hell were you doing out there?"
"You were in trouble"
"How many times do I have to tell you?.I can take care of myself"
"But dad…"
"No buts"
Taker grabbed Valerie's chin gently and raised her face to his level.
"I appreciate your concern,it's sweet but it isn't necessary,you could have gotten hurt and I don't want that"
Valerie nodded and Taker's expression softened.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah" Valerie said.
"You got knocked in the head pretty hard" Jeff said.
"What?" Kane practically yelled.
"You got knocked in the head?" Taker asked furiously.
"Dad,uncle Kane calm down"
"By who?" Taker asked trying to stay calm.
"Dad please,it doesn't matter"
"Like hell it doesn't" Kane said.
Taker turned to Jeff and said:
"Who knocked her in the head?"
"Tommy Dreamer"
Taker nodded and visibly calmed down.He would get Dreamer for it,big time.Valerie stuck her tongue out at Jeff and said:
"Troublemaker"
Jeff grinned and briefly touched Valerie's cheek.Taker looked at his daughter,she looked tired and worn.He sighed and said:
"Come on,let's get you to a doctor"
"But dad…"
Taker glared at Valerie and she immediately kept quiet.
Ten minutes later Valerie was lying on the table that the doctor used with her father right next to her.
"Dad?"
"Yeah joyful?"
"I've been spending alot of time in the doctor's office lately and I was wondering…"
"What's that?" Taker asked,a little worried.
"Do you think I'm entitled to a discount yet?"
Taker laughed and ruffled his daughter's hair a bit as she smiled.The doctor examined Valerie again and said that she was fine although she would have a huge headache the next day.
A/N : Again no cliffhanger,read and review.
