A/N : This chapter is rather boring so to make up for that I made it extra long.A whole lot of boring stuff,lol.Enjoy.

Valerie walked out of the Women's dressingroom,clean and refreshed.She had her bag over her shoulder, Triple H's jacket on and the top in her hand as she headed for the Hardy Boys Lockerroom.She guessed Jeff would be there by now.

She walked to the door and knocked.The door swung open with such enthusiasm,Valerie took a step back. She looked at Matt who was smiling.

"Hi" Valerie said laughing.

"Hey Val,come on in" Matt said.

Valerie followed Matt into the room.

"Jeff,Valerie's here" Matt called to Jeff,who was in the bathroom.

"I'll be right out" Jeff called back.

Valerie sat down and looked at the short top,how was she gonna handle this?.Matt looked at the top as well.

"Isn't that the top Jeff gave you?" he asked.

"Yeah it is" Valerie said with a sigh.

"What happened to it?" Matt asked.

Before Valerie could answer Jeff came out of the dressingroom,he was wearing a fishnet shirt and baggy pants,his hair was orange,blue and green.Valerie smiled at her boyfriend,what a guy.She got up and hugged him.They kissed eachother briefly.Jeff looked Valerie in the eyes and said:

"As much as I love to think you came here for that alone,I think there's something you wanted"

"I can't get anything by you" Valerie said smiling.

She sighed and held the top up.

"This is basically what I came here for"

Valerie gave the top to Jeff and waited while he examined it.He looked up at her,Valerie had expected to see a frown or a scowl on his face but all she saw was a look of surprise.

"What happened?"

"I got into a disagreement with Stephanie McMahon,she tore my top"

Jeff nodded and smiled.

"Did you kick her ass?" he asked.

Valerie smiled and said:

"Sure did.But…aren't you upset about this?.I mean you did have it special made for me"

"No I'm not upset,I can always have a new one made"

"Are you serious?" Valerie asked softly.

Jeff smiled warmly,wrapped his arms around Valerie,kissed her on the lips and said:

"Does that answer your question?"

"Yeah,it does" Valerie said smiling.

Valerie walked down the hallway singing.Valerie didn't sing often,she had the same Texan accent as her father and it always became painfully obvious when she sang.But she was feeling good,Jeff didn't blame her for what happened to her top and he even said he would have a new one made.And I'll be sure to defend the next one with my life,Valerie thought.

Her hand hurt less than it had before,she had gone to the doctor's office and he had given her something to numb it a little bit.She wasn't allowed to use it for a while.That's the last time I ever hit somebody that hard,she thought as she remembered how hard she had hit her father.She knew she had to apologize to her father for hitting him like that but she figured it could wait.After all he wasn't exactly being fair.

She had left her bag in Jeff's lockerroom.She After going into

She decided she would go to Triple H's lockerroom,she still had his jacket.She walked to his lockerroom and knocked on the door.

"Come in"

Valerie opened the door and peaked in.

"Hey Hunter" she said.

"Hey kiddo,come in"

Valerie stepped into the room and said:

"I got something that belongs to you"

"I was wondering when I was going to get that back" he teased.

"You might never,I've grown quite attached to it" Valerie retorted.

They both smiled.

"Whatcha doing?" Valeria said,deliberately overdoing it on the accent.

"Getting mentally prepared for my match" Triple H answered.

"I see,who are you facing?"

"Kurt Angle.Are you facing anybody?"

"No" Valerie said with a sigh.

"What's the matter kiddo?" Triple H asked.

"I'm valetting for my father's match tonight" Valerie said.

Triple H frowned at the way she said father,she sounded angry.Valerie looked at Hunter and saw the questions in his eyes so she continued.

"I had a friendly chat with RVD in the gym today,my father didn't like that and decided to challenge RVD.Now they have a match tonight,supposedly about me"

"Supposedly?" Triple H asked.

"Never mind" Valerie said gently rubbing the inside of her right hand.

Triple H looked at her hand and asked:

"What happened to your hand?"

"I slapped him" Valerie said softly.

"Who?.RVD?" Triple H asked.

"No,my father" Valerie said.

She was beginning to feel ashamed,her own father and she slapped him.

"I'm sure he deserved it" Triple said matter-of-factly.

Valerie knew Triple H didn't like her father and she knew he'd never say anything good about him,he was wrong though.Her father may have said some things he shouldn't have but he didn't deserve to be slapped,not quite as hard as she had anyway.She sighed and got up.

"I better go find my dad and see if I can get a truce out of him"

"Good luck"

Valerie nodded and walked to the door,before leaving she stopped,turned back to Triple H and smiled.She than took the jacket off and put it down on the bench.Triple H laughed and shook his head.

Valerie walked out of the room and headed for her father's dressingroom.She knew it was going to be hard to apologize but it had to be done.She wouldn't just forget about what he had said though.

Her father understood and accepted her apology but there was a tension between the two that could only be described as hostility and sadness at the same time.

Raw Night :

Taker was standing in his dressingroom,getting psyched up for his match,his cheek wasn't burning anymore but he couldn't touch it without being painfully reminded of the slap heard all over the gym.It didn't matter,he would beat RVD and teach him not to come near his daughter.It was bad enough having to deal with Jeff Hardy and trying to keep him away,he didn't need another guy courting his little girl.Taker smiled and nodded,that was the way it would be.

Valerie was also getting ready for the match,she wouldn't just be cheering for her father,she'd be cheering for RVD as well though not as much.She still couldn't figure RVD out,he was with the Alliance so he was basically the enemy but at the same time he was nice to her and he protected her.You don't suppose…No,not him.He probably just wants to be friends.Which was a good thing cause she didn't want anything to get in the way of her relationship with Jeff.She smiled as she thought about Jeff,her Jeff.He was sweet,energetic,cute and very handsome.Yep,I'm a lucky girl alright.She checked the clock and saw that there was only 15 minutes left before showtime.She had to get to her father's dressingroom.

She got up from where she was seated and walked to the door,she opened the door and looked straight into RVD's eyes.He had his hand raised,as though he were about to knock and he smiled at her.

"Hey" RVD said in his carefree,nothing's wrong,voice.

"Hi" Valerie said.

"I just came by to apologize"

"Apologize?" Valerie asked.

"Yeah,for this whole mess I got into with your father,I didn't mean to ignore you back in the gym and I'm sorry"

"That's okay" Valerie said,throwing RVD a quick smile.

"You were on your way to your father,weren't you?" RVD said smiling.

"Yeah I was" Valerie said.

RVD hesitated for a moment,he seemed to be pondering something but than he shook his head and said:

"I'll see you out there"

"Yeah" Valerie said,watching RVD go.

When he was gone,she stepped out of the room.She was confused but there was no time for that now.She had a match to attend.

The match was brutal and Valerie couldn't stand to look at the action for longer than a few seconds.She was standing outside the ring while her father and RVD battle inside.They were bashing eachother with everything they could get a hold of and Valerie was getting a little nauseous.She had heard one too many trashcan lids hitting home and she wanted the match to end.Her father had the chance to pin RVD but he didn't do it.

"Come on dad,go for the pin.End this madness" Valerie yelled up at her father.

Taker turned around to face Valerie only to get knocked down from behind by RVD who had gotten up.RVD went to the corner where Valerie was standing,got up on the top-rope and waited for Taker to get up straight. Taker had a chair in his hands and he was gonna try to hit RVD with it.Valerie had her hands on her face and she grimaced.

"Please let this be over soon" she whispered.

RVD jumped and dropkicked the chair straight into Taker's head.Valerie jumped and yelped.She was getting more and more upset by the second.Taker managed to get the upperhand again only to be attacked by Booker-T from behind.

Valerie cursed and swore as RVD and Booker-T double-teamed her father.She gathered all her courage and stepped onto the apron,RVD had his back turned as he was stomping her father but Booker-T turned around as Valerie entered the ring.Valerie had hoped she could beg RVD to stop this and she hadn't counted on this.He kicked her straight in the head before she could do anything and she went down.

RVD turned around and gasped as he saw Valerie on the ground,he saw Booker-T standing over her,gloating and smiling.RVD couldn't stand it,he was Alliance true but he couldn't allow anyone to harm Valerie.He got so angry at Booker-T he jumped on top of him and started pounding him.

Alliance members came pouring from the back only to be followed by WWE Wrestlers.When the Alliance was forced to the outside of the ring,they still had to seperate RVD and Booker-T.Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer held back RVD while Booker-T was held back by Bubba Ray Dudley and the Hurricane.

"I told you to leave her out of this" RVD yelled at Booker-T.

"You need to understand something,you're either with the Alliance or you're against us,make your choice sucka" Booker-T said before shaking Bubba Ray and the Hurricane off him and walking to the back.

RVD was being yelled at by the other Alliance members but he didn't care,all that mattered from now on was Valerie.He looked at the ring and saw that she was beginning to get up,with help from her father and her uncle. There's no point in trying to approach her now,you'll never even get close.You can talk to her later,RVD told himself while walking backstage,sore from the match and angry at Booker-T.

Taker walked next to Valerie as they went up the ramp,she was holding her head every now and than but she seemed okay.

"What happened,joyful?"

Valerie looked at her father and said:

"I'm not sure.All I know is that the lights went out again.They've been doing that alot lately"

Now Taker was getting worried,the Rock was walking just behind Valerie and he voiced his concern.

"You should see a doctor" he said.

"I will,just not now" Valerie said.

"Oh you're going now" Taker said.

"But dad…"

"Either you're going there or I'm carrying you there" Taker said.

Valerie knew her father meant it so she just grumbled.

"Why wouldn't you go now?.Do you have something to do?" Triple H asked,who was just behind Kane.

"No,but I've been spending enough time in the doctor's office already,I don't…"

"Weak excuse munchkin" Kane said gently.

"I don't need an excuse" Valerie said almost whispering.

She squeezed her eyes shut and grabbed her head.The Rock caught her just in time as she passed out.She woke up after a couple of hours and noticed that she was in the hospital.

"Fuck" she swore as she rubbed her head.

She turned her arm and noticed she had a tube in her arm.

"What is that doing there?" she grumbled.

She was tempted to rip it out but for all she knew it was keeping her alive.She looked around the room and found that her temper was flaring up and her mood was steadily decreasing.

Her father came into the room,sporting a frown until he saw that she was awake.

"Hey there…" he started with a smile.

"What am I doing here?" Valerie snapped.

"You were hurt,the doctor said you had to be taken to a hospital" Taker said.

"The doctor obviously doesn't know what he's talking about" she growled.

Taker could see that his daughter was in the worst mood,so he smiled and said:

"I'll go get your boyfriend"

This seemed to soften Valerie a little.Her father was trying to be reasonable.

"He has a name" she said softly.

"I know" Taker said before leaving the room.

Valerie sighed and waited for Jeff.When Jeff came into the room,he hurried to the bed and hugged Valerie who gladly hugged him back.They broke the hug and Jeff sat down next to Valerie.

"Are you alright?" Jeff asked.

"I'm fine now" Valerie said looking Jeff in the eyes.

"I was worried sick,everybody was" he said.

"Could you get me checked out?" Valerie asked.

"What?" Jeff asked,stunned.

"I wanna go back to the hotel now" Valerie stated.

"I don't think that's a good idea" Jeff said,walking around the bed to support her.

"Probably not,either way I'm not staying here" Valerie said,getting off the bed.

"You really shouldn't" Jeff,while Valerie picked her clothes up.

"I will be as hurt at the hotel as I am here,it makes no difference"

"If something go's wrong…"

"Jeff,I do not suffer from failing organs,I suffer from…What was my diagnosis?"

"You have a mild concussion"

"I'm in the hospital for a mild concussion" Valerie yelled.

Taker and Kane came storming into the room after hearing Valerie yell.

"That's it,I'm getting out of here" Valerie said.

"Joyful,you should be in bed" Taker said.

"I'm not staying here for a lousy concussion"

"You would have thought it was a big deal not too long ago" Kane said.

"I would have thought an ingrown toenail was a big deal not too long ago but I've had more concussions the past month than I've had in my entire life before that,I'm used to them and I'm not staying in the hospital for one, especially a mild one" Valerie said in one breath.

She turned around,picked up her clothes and went behind the screen.She dressed herself while Taker,Kane and Jeff stood in the hallway,helplessly trying to think of a way to make her stay.They couldn't think of one as Valerie came out of the room.

"Have I been checked out yet?"

"Yes" Taker said.

Valerie smiled and walked down the hall,flanked by her boyfriend,her father and her uncle.Taker was worried, he would get back at Booker-T for kicking his daughter in his match with him the following Smackdown but he couldn't help but think it wouldn't be enough,there would always be someone there to attack his daughter and though he would always be there for her,he didn't know if her presence in the federation was such a good idea. No,he thought,not a good idea at all.

A/N : Well,that's that.Please review and let me know if it really was as boring as I think it is.
