Smackdown : 13-12-2001.

Smackdown night and Valerie had managed to worm her way into the schedule by telling Vince McMahon that her father was okay with it.Why Vince would believe her she didn't know but it didn't matter,she had what she wanted.She had her match against Jazz,just four days away from her match with Trish for the title.

Valerie prepared herself for what was to come,Jazz was tough,no doubt about it but if she focussed on the match and gave it her all she would be able to pull it off.

While Valerie was getting ready her father came into her room without knocking.

"Jesus,can't you knock?" Valerie scolded.

"Why?.Because I might catch you with Jeff Hardy?" Taker sneered.

"Because I'm not a little girl anymore and I need my privacy.And there is no such thing as 'catching' me with Jeff,I'm not having a secret love affair with him,we're in a relationship,a relationship you said you would be reasonable about,remember?" Valerie said.

Taker muttered something that Valerie didn't quite understand but she knew better than to ask him what it was. She shrugged and started airboxing,she had to get ready.

"Why are you preparing for a fight?"

Valerie turned around and saw her father staring at her intently.

"I have a match tonight" Valerie answered.

"I see" Taker said.

"The match stands,you can't change that" Valerie stated,turning away from him.

Taker nodded but he was still staring at her.Finally he sighed and looked away.

"Who are you facing?" he asked.

"Jazz" Valerie said,not stopping her preparation to look at him.

There was a long silence until Taker broke it.

"I know I've been getting in your way lately and I know that I've pissed you off but you know I did it to keep you safe don't you?" Taker asked.

Valerie stopped what she was doing and looked at her dad.

"Yeah,I know" she said.

"And you know that no matter what happens in the future,I will always love you and look out for you?" Taker asked.

"Yes" Valeria said slowly,narrowing her eyes.

Something wasn't right but Taker just got up and walked to the door.

"Good,good luck in your match,I'll be watching"

Before Valerie could say anything,he was out the door and gone.Valerie took a deep breath and continued her preparation.After about a half hour a messenger came into the room and told her it was time for her match. Valerie walked through the hallway and to the curtain.She had her music changed to 'Freak like me' by Sugababes and she was comfortable with it.

Jazz went out first after which Valerie's music played and she went out.The walk to the ring seemed long. Valerie hadn't had a match in a while and she was anxious to fight.She got into the ring and waited for the bell to ring.

When it didn't ring Valerie frowned,what was going on?.Jazz was talking to the referee,pointing in Valerie's direction and waving her arms.

The referee relented and nodded.Jazz looked smug as the ref approached Valerie.

"I have to check you for foreign objects" the ref said.

"What?" Valerie yelled.

"I'm sorry,she says she saw you with a blunt object when you entered the ring" the ref said.

"Since when do referee's take people's word for things?" Valerie sneered.

"Just let me check and we can get this match started"

"Fine" Valerie hissed through clenched teeth.

The referee checked Valerie's boots,wrist pads and elbow pads and than looked at her waist.

"I don't think so" Valerie said.

Just than Valerie felt a blow to the head that temporarily made everything go black.She had fallen for it,she had fallen for Jazz's diversion.She was on her knees as Jazz ripped Valerie's shirt of her back and started choking her with it.Valerie gasped for air as the ref tried to pry Jazz off.Valerie reached back and gouched Jazz in the eyes.Thank god for long arms,she thought as she tried to catch her breath.

Jazz however was right on her again.Jazz pulled Valerie up by her hair and whirled her around by her hair. Valerie rubbed her scalp,god that hurt.Before Valerie could get up Jazz was there,pulling her up and locking her in a headlock.Valerie put her arms around Jazz's waist and lift her up,breaking the headlock and slamming her down in a modified powerbomb.

Jazz landed hard but Valerie was right here,pulling her up and picking her up over her shoulder.Valerie executed a shoulder breaker on Jazz,eliciting a loud applaus from the backstage crowd,including Taker,Kane, the Rock,Triple H,Jeff Hardy and Lita.

Valerie picked Jazz up and set her up for an Atomic Throw.She executed it but it had taken alot out of her.She needed to finish this.She went for the pin,1,2…and nothing happened.What the hell?.Valerie got up and went to argue with the ref only to find herself face to face with Christian.

"What the hell are you doing?" she yelled.

Before Christian could answer Jazz grabbed Valerie from behind and rolled her up for an inside cradle.1,2,3. Valerie had lost the match because of Christian.Valerie swore loudly and turned around to see where Christian was.He was halfway up the ramp,laughing.

"That's what happens to little tramps like you" he yelled at her.

Valerie cursed him to hell and back as he walked off.She would get him for this,she didn't know how,she didn't know when but she would get him for it.
