A/N : For those of you who are wondering,RVD and Christian are not married to anyone in my fic.Just making sure there aren't any moral problems.
Raw : 05-11-2001.
Valerie looked around.Great interior,she thought wide-eyed.She was sitting on one of the black leather sofa's in Vince McMahon's office,Vince McMahon,her father and her uncle were having a heated discussion.Taker and Kane demanded a match against Kurt Angle and Steve Austin but Vince kept saying that he couldn't give them that.
Valerie yawned and sighed.There were going to keep that up for a while to come but eventually her father and uncle would get what they wanted.
She looked around and saw some magazines on the side table.What she failed to notice was that the lamp on the side table was standing on one of the magazines.
Taker and Kane were starting to get through to Vince.He was starting to relent when they heard a loud shattering sound coming from Valerie's direction.They looked at the scene and saw a very expensive lamp on the floor in pieces and a shocked Valerie standing next to the sofa,with her hands clasped over her mouth.
"I'm so sorry,it was an accident"
Vince just stared at the lamp and yelled:
"That's it,get out,all three of you just get out"
Valerie rushed to her father's side and went out the door.Taker and Kane left the room as well.
"What about our match?" Taker asked.
"You can forget about your match" Vince yelled and slammed the door in their faces.
Taker and Kane turned to Valerie with scowls on their faces.
"What?.It was an accident"
Taker and Kane walked away completely ignoring Valerie.
"It was" Valerie said softly,tears forming in her eyes.
She watched their retreating backs and realized she had screwed up.She had to make amends.She turned to Vince McMahon's door,wiped her tears away and knocked.
"What?" Vince yelled from the other side.
She swallowed hard,opened the door and walked in.Taker and Kane stormed into their dressingroom.
"So damn close" Taker snarled.
They both dropped themselves on one of the sofas.
"Now what?" Kane asked.
"We'll get them,both of them" Taker answered.
They sat there for a while until Kane said:
"We were rather harsh on Val,she didn't mean for it to happen"
"I know" Taker said,with a sigh.
"Where is she anyway?" Kane said.
"We…left her standing in the hallway" Taker said.
Taker and Kane ran out of the room and back where they had left Valerie,only to find her gone.They looked all over but they couldn't find her.Jeff Hardy didn't know where she was,the Rock didn't know where she was.
"Not again" Taker cried desperately,when they gathered in his dressingroom,empty handed.
Just than Valerie came into the room and sat down.Jeff walked to her and embraced her,she looked tired and worn out.
"Where…how…what…" Taker said.
"Where in the blue hell did you go?" the Rock cried.
"We were worried sick about you" Jeff said.
"Yeah well,you can stop worrying,I'm fine…for now"
"What do you mean for now?" Taker said.
"I got you your match against Steve Austin and Kurt Angle,tonight but…"
"But what?" Taker asked.
"I have a match as well" Valerie said softly.
"Against who?" Jeff asked.
"Promise you wont yell?" Valerie asked.
"I promise" Jeff said.
"I'm facing Sean O'Haire"
"Say what?" Taker yelled.
"Dad you…" Valerie started.
"I didn't promise anything,he did" Taker said pointing at Jeff.
"Come on bro,calm down" Kane said.
"Why the hell do you have to face Sean O'Haire?"
"Well apparently Sean O'Haire went to see Shane McMahon and told him that he wanted a piece of me.Shane went to see Vince and told him that if he were ever in need of an opponent for me,Sean O'Haire would be more than willing.I went to Vince McMahon's office and asked him to punish me for what happened instead of punishing you,so he said you could have the match but only if I face Sean O'Haire" Valerie explaned.
"Well that's simple than,we'll forget about the match" Taker said.
"Dad no,this might be your only chance for some decent revenge on Steve Austin and Kurt Angle.Besides I didn't beg Vince McMahon to give you that match for nothing" Valerie said,her face slowly turning into a determined scowl.
Than her face changed and she put her puppy dog eyes on as she looked at her father.
Taker and Kane looked at eachother.Kane smirked and said:
"Her eyes have never been more blue"
Taker couldn't help but chuckle at that.
"Alright but there aint a force strong enough on this earth to keep me from being at ringside" Taker said.
Valerie smiled and suddenly felt alot better.If her father was going to be there everything would be alright.Jeff looked worried,Taker would be at ringside but that didn't take away the fact that she had to get into the ring with Sean O'Haire,a 6'5 foot,290 pound man.
Raw night.Valerie and Taker were standing at the entrance waiting for their cue.Taker gently nudged Valerie. "Nervous?"
"Very"
"You know I'm there for you,don't you?"
"Yeah" Valerie said,leaning into her father.
Sean O'Haire was set to go out first. He walked past Taker and winked at Valerie.
"See you in the ring redhead"
Taker growled and O'Haire backed away from Valerie.O'Haire smirked and said:
"You can protect her now,she's mine when we get into the ring"
Sean O'Haire's music started and he went out booed loudly by the fans.Valerie huffed and said:
"Popular guy"
Taker smirked and looked at his daughter.She was watching Sean O'Haire on the monitor,he was walking around the ring like he owned it.
"God,he'll be flagging the ring next"
Taker chuckled.He'd show O'Haire just who really owned that ring but important things first,he had to protect his daughter.Rollin' came on and they walked out together,receiving cheers and chants from the crowd.Valerie smiled when she heard the people on the first row screaming her name.
They went to the ring and stepped in,Taker kept O'Haire away from Valerie until she was ready,or at least as ready as she could be expected to be.If it had been up to Taker he would have stayed in the ring the whole time but the referee made him leave the ring.
The match began with Sean O'Haire throwing Valerie all over the ring and him yelling things like:"How do you like me now Valerie" and "I told you I'd get you" at her.Taker managed to take the wind out of O'Haire so the punishment was at a minimum but Valerie simply didn't have the bulk to keep him down.
The cameras went backstage and revealed that Stone Cold Steve Austin and Debra were watching the match. Austin smirked as he watched Valerie getting punched and kicked.
"That's right,kick her straight to hell"
When the referee's back was turned Valerie kicked O'Haire in the groin and than kicked him in the head but it wasn't enough to keep him down.Taker had had enough and while Valerie distracted the referee,he gave him the Last Ride on the floor and rolled him back into the ring.Valerie pinned O'Haire and the referee raised her arm in victory,she couldn't believe it was over.The fans cheered for her while she hugged her father.Austin was pissed off,he threw the remote into the tv and stormed out of the room,leaving Debra behind.
When Valerie got backstage she was surrounded by her friends,Lita hugged her first but had to make way for Jeff,who whirled her around and kissed her.
"Congratulations" Jeff said.
"Thank you" Valerie said smiling.
Jeff kissed Valerie again but they were seperated by the Rock.
"You two will have plenty of time for that later" the Rock said,before hugging Valerie.
"Good work kiddo" a voice came from behind her.
Valerie turned around and saw Triple H walking to them.She hugged him and he asked her how she felt and if she was injured or not.
Taker was watching all this from a distance.He smiled as he saw his daughter smiling and squealing along with Lita.She was happy and that was all that mattered.Kane stood next to Taker smiling as well.
"That turned out better than you thought it would,didn't it?" Kane asked.
"Yeah it did" Taker said.
Taker and Kane turned to eachother and Taker said:
"We need to get ready for our match"
Kane nodded and after casting a last fond look at Valerie,they walked off.
Taker and Kane took on Steve Austin and Kurt Angle.They had a point to prove but so did Austin.He needed to prove that he still had what it took to be the leader of the Alliance,that no chumpstain bastard like the Undertaker was going to make his pay for anything.He did just that but lost the match when Taker pinned Angle.
