Smackdown : 24-01-2002.
South Carolina at the N.Charleston Colloseum.
Valerie walked through the hall,her head held high,her belt on her shoulder and her mind on her father.She couldn't figure out what to do next,she loved her father very much but she couldn't let him walk all over her. Valerie sighed,what to do,what to do.
Valerie walked into her dressingroom and dumped her bag on one of the benches.She had a title defense against Jazz for that night and she still had to get ready.
She turned the monitor on and saw that RVD was about to take on William Regal.Valerie watched the match while getting dressed and saw RVD taking William Regal apart.She chuckled at the sight but than stopped, why was she laughing?.William Regal had almost been more than civil to her and he had given her no reason to mock him.
She shook her head and continued wrapping her wrists,her long red hair falling over her face.Her father had red hair and green eyes and her mother had blond hair and blue eyes.Valerie was a mix of the two,having red hair and blue eyes.Her Texan heritage,on the other hand,came from both her mother and her father.
Valerie had inherited her father's temper,a temper both she and her father denied they had,and she had inherited her mother's attitude.
Valerie thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Valerie asked.
"Special delivery" a young boy's voice called from the other side.
Valerie got up and opened the door.She gasped at the sight,there was a delivery boy no older than 12,with in his hands a bouquet of red roses,a dozen of them.
"Are those for me?" Valerie asked,feeling stupid the second she finished asking it.
The delivery boy didn't seem to notice,he was staring at her.
"Yeah,they are" he said with a smile,handing the flowers to Valerie.
There was a short silence during which Valerie finally noticed the boy was staring at something he shouldn't be staring at.
"Hey delivery boy" Valerie said,snapping her fingers in front of his face.
The boy guiltily looked up and handed her his clipboard and a pen.Valerie signed for the flowers and the boy left after muttering a nervous bye.Valerie chuckled as she closed the door.She set the roses down and searched the flowers for a card.There wasn't one.Valerie sniffed the roses and smiled,fresh cut,long stemmed roses,accented with Baby's Breath.Whoever sent them sure had taste.
Which made Valerie wonder who they were from.Jeff always gave his presents in person,Edge didn't seem the type for sending flowers,RVD would have atleast added a card…could it be from William Regal?.But why would he send her flowers?.
Valerie forced herself to shrug it off.She didn't wanna think about that now.She watched the show,waiting for her own match.She laughed when she saw the Rock kicking Coach in the ass and frowned when she heard Vince McMahon talking about doing something and not having any other choice.What's that all about?.
Valerie decided to go to the cafeteria,there was no point in sitting in her dressingroom all by herself.She walked to the cafeteria and walked in.She sat down on a chair,ignoring the stares from the wrestlers she didn't know,and looked at the big tv screen.She put her bottle down next to her,only to have it fall over.She sighed as she reached down to grab it,tipping her chair and sending her reeling backwards.Someone grabbed her arm and pulled her up straight.Valerie looked up and saw her uncle standing there with a smile on his face.
"I never knew you were that big of a clutz" Kane said,chuckling.
Valerie mock glared at her uncle and than smiled.Kane wrapped his huge arms around his niece and hugged her tight,squeezing the air out of her lungs for a few seconds.God,that man really didn't know his own strength.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready for your match?" Kane asked.
"I am ready.Shouldn't you be getting ready for yours?" Valerie shot back.
"I am getting ready,I'm looking for a valet" Kane answered.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Valerie asked.
Kane chuckled as his niece dashed by him and ran to the curtains.He calmly followed her only to run into her again halfway down the hall.She looked scared as she walked up to him.
"What's the matter munchkin?" Kane asked.
"I eh…I'd rather walk with you" Valerie stammered.
Kane frowned but didn't argue.They walked to the curtains together and when Kane saw Big Show standing there with a smug smile on his face he knew why Valerie had been so scared.Kane clenched his fists as he looked at the Big Show.He'd get him for scaring his niece so badly,real soon.
Valerie walked out with her uncle and the second she saw all the people in the crowd she had forgotten all about the Big Show and his scary attitude.Valerie walked around the ring as her uncle entered and did his pyro thing.The Big Show came out next and the Dudleys and Stacy followed.During the match both Valerie and Stacy were cheering their respective teams on and the King Jerry Lawler couldn't help but stare at both of them.
"Hey J.R,who's legs do you think are longer?.Valerie's or Stacy's?" the King asked.
"I have no idea King" J.R said.
"Do you think they'd let me measure them?" the King asked.
"Oh would you stop?!" J.R scolded.
Valerie cheered as Kane hit a big boot on D-Von.Kane went up top but the Big Show 'accidently' knocked him down.Valerie swore loudly,eliciting loud cheers from the front row,some cheers a bit more obscene than others.Valerie watched as the Big Show tossed Bubba Ray into Kane causing him to get knocked through a table.Valerie frowned as the bell rang and the Dudley's were declared the winners.
Valerie walked to her uncle and helped him up.Kane got back into the ring and got in the Big Show's face.
"Look man,I didn't mean for that to happen" Big Show said indifferently.
"I don't care about the damn match" Kane growled "I'm gonna give you a fair warning concerning my niece"
"Let me guess,you want me to stay away from her" Big Show said.
"Do it or you'll be sorry" Kane growled.
Kane left after one last hateful look in Big Show's direction.Valerie and Kane went backstage and Valerie looked at her uncle.
"Are you alright?" Valerie asked.
Kane expression softened and he smiled.
"I'm fine munchkin" Kane said.
"Will you be watching my match?" Valerie asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world" Kane said smiling.
Valerie smiled back and they walked back to the dressingroom area.It wasn't long after that it was time for Valerie's match.Jazz came out first as the challenger.Valerie followed as the champion.Valerie immediately took it to Jazz,punching and kicking her.Kick to the face by Valerie.1,2 but Jazz kicked out.
Valerie pulled Jazz up by her hair but Jazz punched her in the stomach and took her down with a clothesline. Jazz hit a legdrop and went for the pin.1,2 but Valerie kicked out tossing Jazz off her.Jazz locked Valerie in a shoulder submission move but Valerie refused to tap out,she slowly but surely crawled to the ropes and grabbed hold of it.
The referee made Jazz let go and Jazz went to pick Valerie up but Valerie punched her in the stomach and ddt'd her.Valerie's shoulder hurt too much for her to hit the Last Ride and she was forced to drop Jazz to the mat.Valerie got up and resolved to take Jazz down with a bulldog.She hit the bulldog and pinned Jazz,1-2-3.
Valerie got up,holding her shoulder and the ref gave her her belt.She raised her arm to the crowd and left up the ramp.
Valerie walks through the hallway favoring her shoulder.She runs into Kurt Angle who was on his way to the curtains for his match against the Rock.
"Hey Valerie,great match,you really showed her" Kurt enthused.
"Yeah thanks Ku…" Valerie started.
Kurt than raised his hand and tapped Valerie's shoulder.Valerie cried out.
"Kurt" Valerie yelled "I thought you said you watched my match"
Kurt winced and said:
"I'm sorry Val,I completely forgot,are you alright?"
"No I'm not alright" Valerie snapped.
Valerie stalked down the hall,her belt dragging behind her.Kurt stayed behind and called after her.
"I didn't do it on purpose"
Valerie walked into her room and put her belt down on the bench.After taking a shower she sat down and quietly watched the rest of the show.It didn't take her long to fall asleep.
