A/N : Once again I'm probably way off time wise and champion wise but the way I figure it,as long as the story is okay,it doesn't matter…right?.

Story : Valerie get's a bit of a scare,who by and why?.Read and find out.

Smackdown : 25-10-2001.

Valerie and Jeff walked backstage,hand in hand.Valerie was smiling happily,her relationship with Jeff was going great,she had her very first singles match that very night against Trish Stratus for the WWF Women's championship and she was psyched up after a great training with her father that morning.

She had gone with her father to the arena and they had trained all morning.He showed her many moves, including the clothesline and the sleeper.

She glanced at Jeff,only to find him looking right back with those gorgeous green eyes of his.She smiled at him and received kiss on the cheek in return.

They were on their way to the Hardy Boys lockerroom.Jeff and Matt had a match against the Dudley's for the WWF tag team titles and they would need to use everything they had to win.

Valerie wasn't too worried about her own match,after all she was being trained by the Undertaker,Kane and the Rock,she knew Trish was a good wrestler but she was confident enough to not worry about it.

When they arrived at Taker's dressingroom,Jeff turned to Valerie.

"This is where I leave you" he said with a sigh.

"Already?" Valerie said with a pout.

Jeff smiled and kissed Valerie.

"I'll see you again soon"

"Promise?" Valerie asked teasingly.

"I promise"

Jeff left and Valerie smiled at Jeff's retreating back and than turned to step into the lockerroom only to bump into her father's huge chest.Valerie yelped and stepped back.

"Don't do that" she said with her hand on her heart.

Taker just smiled and said:

"Where were you?"

"With Jeff?" Valerie answered.

"I know that but where were you?" Taker repeated.

"I his lockerroom" Valerie said with a scowl.

"By yourselves?" Taker continued.

"Dad,we talked about this,you said it was alright"

Taker took a deep breath and said:

"I know,I'm sorry"

Valerie nodded and passed him into the room.Taker frowned.He was beginning to get second thoughts about letting his daughter near Jeff Hardy,he knew he couldn't just break his promise and he wasn't intending on it but he wasn't going to sit around and do nothing about it either.

He followed his daughter into the room.

"Are you ready for your match?" Taker asked Valerie,who was now sitting next to her uncle.

"Yep,all set and ready to go" Valerie said smiling.

"Good" Taker said.

"How did you get that title-shot so quickly anyway?" Kane asked.

"I don't know,must be my blue eyes" Valerie said with a smirk.

"Touché" Kane said.

Taker laughed and said:

"She got you there Kane"

"Seriously,I'm not really sure.The match was made by Vince McMahon and Trish Stratus came up with the idea of making it a title-shot,apparently she saw me training and she thought it'd be a good idea" Valerie said.

"And that's that?" Kane asked.

Valerie shrugged.Kane smiled and went back to taping his wrists.

Valerie looked at her father as he ajusted his boots and wondered what the frown on his face was all about.He couldn't be worried about his match since it was against Booker-T and Test and they had beaten them before, so it had to be something else.

Taker caught Valerie staring at him and looked back.

"What's the matter joyful?"

"Nothing" Valerie said with a smile.

Taker didn't seem convinced,they stared at eachother until Sara came into the room.They broke the stare at the same time and Valerie got up.

"I'm gonna go get something to eat.Do you want anything?"

"I'm fine" Taker said.

"Me too" Kane said.

Sara opened her mouth to say something but Valerie was already out the door.

"She still doesn't like me does she?" Sara asked sadly.

"I'm afraid not" Taker said sighing.

Sara sat down next to Taker and said:

"How do I change that?"

"You don't.My daughter is the most stubborn person I know,if she's going to come around,she'll come around with time" Taker said.

"I hope so" Sara said.

Taker put his arm around his wife and Sara snuggled close to him.

Valerie in the mean time walked around in the back,she didn't really want anything to eat.She just didn't wanna be anywhere near Sara,not because she hated her but because she was beginning to like her.Sara had changed and the change was good but Valerie wasn't ready to become friends yet.

While walking around Valerie ran into the Big Show.There was one man that scared her more than anyone and that man was the Big Show.It wasn't his size,she was used to being around big men,it was his attitude.The Big Show was a mean bastard,he didn't care about anyone's feelings and he was known to be unable to keep his hands to himself where the divas were concerned.There was something about him that made her deeply afraid of him.

Valerie looked straight ahead while passing him but she could feel his eyes all over her.She felt dirty without even being touched by him.All of a sudden her path was obstructed by the very large,very smelly man.She winced as her shoulder very nearly touched his abdomen and she took a step back.

"My,my,my I don't believe I've seen you around here before"

Valerie was so afraid she didn't know what to say so she kept quiet.

"What's your name little girl?"

"Valerie" Valerie said in fear.

"And what else?" Show asked stepping closer.

"Calloway" Valerie said.

The Big Show pulled one of his eyebrows up and said:

"Taker's daughter?"

Valerie nodded but couldn't bring herself to use it as a defense.Show laughed and said:

"Very interesting"

He reached out to touch Valerie's hair but suddenly found himself attacked by two very big,very angry men. Kane blew right by Valerie and threw himself onto the Big Show,Taker pounded the Big Show while he was on the floor.They completely demolished him while Valerie stood paralysed against the wall.

Taker and Kane stopped beating on the Big Show and Taker yelled at him:

"Stay away from my little girl or next time we wont be so gentle"

This would have struck Valerie as very humorous if she hadn't been so terrified.Taker walked to her and looked down at her,concern in his face.She was still looking at the Big Show and Taker gently grabbed her chin and turned her head to him.She looked at him with fear struck eyes,Taker had never seen her like that.Kane turned back to the Big Show to beat on him some more but he was already gone.

"Joyful?.Are you okay?" Taker asked.

"Yeah" Valerie said.

"Did he hurt you?"

"No"

"If he ever does you'll tell me,right?"

"Yeah"

"Good"

Taker hugged his daughter and as he held her tight,she finally calmed down.

"That man scares me so badly" she admitted with a shaky voice.

"Don't worry,we'll protect you" Taker soothed.

Valerie nodded but didn't let go of her father.She managed to calm down before the show started and she managed to shake her fear,which was a good thing cause she had a match to wrestle.
