A/N : I know that most of the things that happen in my story happen in the same place (at the arena) and I'm asking you to overlook it,thank you.I put in *** to make it easier to read,I don't know why.Enjoy the chapter.
Raw : 04-03-2002.
Austin,Texas.
Valerie rubbed her head as she sat in her dressingroom watching the show,she had had killer headaches since Smackdown and that morning she had awoken with the worst headache in the history of bad headaches. She had already taken 4 painkillers and they weren't working.She knew it was her own fault but that didn't make it any better.
The dream she had awoken from had been even more disturbing.She had dreamt of RVD,she was with him somewhere and they were talking about getting married.She had awoken before the dream could continue and she cried when she realized she was thinking of RVD more than she was suppose to.She felt like a slut.
Valerie was startled from her thoughts when she saw her father on the screen and she was immediately reminded of what had happened on Smackdown.She had kicked him,what had she been thinking?.She had wanted to help Triple H but in the end it was her father who had helped both Triple H and her.Valerie shook her head and got up,it was time to apologize.

Christian scowled as he looked around the hallway.He was seriously getting annoyed with DDP.Page had managed to convince him not to quit his job and he was now teaching him how to be positive but all Christian felt they were doing was acting like idiots.
"Let's start this lesson by flashing a smile" DDP said,smiling broadly himself.
Christian smiled but stopped smiling after only a few seconds.
"I feel like an idiot" Christian said.
"You don't look like an idiot,you look positive and that's a good thing.I think we should skip phase 1 and go straight to phase 2" DDP said.
"You really think so?" Christian said,smirking.
Page nodded but frowned when he saw Christian staring at something.Page turned around and saw what Christian was staring at.Miss Valerie Calloway,she was standing at the end of the hall talking to a stagehand. Page shook his head and said:
"That lady right there is one of the things we need to talk about"
"How so?" Christian asked absently.
"She's a nuisance,a beautiful one but a nuisance nonetheless,you don't wanna waste your time chasing her,I've been there and all it gave me was a headache" Page said.
Valerie said goodbye to the stagehand and walked on and Page smiled broadly.
"Forgetting about Valerie Calloway is not a bad thing,it's a good thing" Page said.
I'm not forgetting about Valerie Calloway,I'm gonna make her mine,one way or another,Christian thought.
"Sure" he said,causing Page to smile even broader.

Valerie walked through the hallway until she reached the dressingroom she had been looking for.She hadn't spoken to her father since the previous show and so she went to see him in his dressingroom.She knocked on the door and waited.
"Who is it?" her father called.
"It's me Valerie" Valerie called back.
There was a short pause and Valerie knew it was deliberate.
"Come in" he said.
Valerie took a deep breath and stepped into her father's room.He got up from where he was sitting and stood across her.
"Dad" Valerie said.
"Young lady" Taker said.
"Ehm…First off I wanna apologise for kicking you,I had no right and I'm sorry.It wont happen again.I wasn't thinking,I know that's been happening alot as of late.I also wanna ask you if you would be my tag team partner for my tag team match next Thursday on Smackdown".
"Your apology is accepted,I'm just happy you didn't get hurt and I will be more than happy to be your tag team partner for your match on Smackdown"
"Great" Valerie enthused "I have to go now but I'll come by later"
Taker nodded and Valerie hugged him.Valerie smiled as she walked out of her father's room,he forgave her for kicking him and she had a tag team partner for the following Smackdown.Valerie walked back to her dressingroom to get ready for her match.Not that she really needed to get ready,it was only Stacy Keibler she was facing.Stacy had been given the match by Vince McMahon,who said he felt she deserved a title-shot.I bet I know what she did to get it too.
Valerie still couldn't understand what Vince McMahon's problem with her was.She didn't remember ever doing anything to him,well...there was that lamp she wrecked but that couldn't possibly be the cause.McMahon could use it as an excuse but it wasn't the reason.Maybe he hated her because he couldn't control her,her father would kill him if he tried and McMahon knew it.
Valerie shook her head and shrugged the unpleasant thoughts away.She had a match to win and even if Stacy wasn't a problem,the Dudley Boyz would be there as well and avoiding them would be more than a problem.

Valerie walked to the curtains and sighed as she saw Stacy and the Dudley's standing there.No point in running away from it.Valerie walked to where they were standing and when Stacy saw her approach she smiled.
"Well well,miss Calloway,so good of you to join us" Stacy said mockingly.
The Dudley Boyz snickered and Valerie smiled broadly.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world Stacy.Congratulations on 'earning' this title-shot by the way" Valerie said,putting the expression on the word earning.
"I don't like the way you say earning,I did earn this title-shot" Stacy said.
"And I bet I know how" Valerie said smiling.
"What are you implying?" Stacy asked getting into Valerie's face "I'm no slut"
"I didn't say you were,I don't think you are but then,what's my humble opinion against thousands of others?" Valerie asked innocently.
Stacy looked about ready to explode but before she could say anything,D-Von and Bubba Ray stepped in.
"You're crossing the wrong people here Calloway" D-Von spat.
"You have a big mouth for a little girl" Bubba added.
"That's not a very nice thing to say Bubba,especially since I think so much of you" Valerie purred huskily.
Bubba's face turned red and he coughed.
"You do?" he asked.
"Yes,I think of you when I'm lonely" Valerie said smiling.
Bubba smiled and Valerie's smile disappeared.
"Then I'm content to be alone" Valerie snapped.
She turned away from Bubba before he could say anything and turned to Stacy.
"I'll see you in the ring" Valerie snarled.
Stacy looked nervous as she turned to D-Von,who was looking at Bubba,and Bubba who was beyond pissed off.The match wasn't spectacular,Valerie was far from being a technical wrestler but she exceeded Stacy by far when it came to skill and drive.Valerie didn't have much of a height advantage and she certainly didn't weigh more but unlike Stacy,Valerie knew how to use her legs.They were her weapons,her tools and she knew how to use them.
The Dudley's were giving her a hard time,however,and the punches she received when the referee wasn't looking were wearing her down fast.When D-Von punched Valerie in the back,Valerie cried out and the referee put two and two together.While the ref tried to get Bubba and D-Von to leave ringside,Stacy tried to hit Valerie with a foreign object but Valerie ducked,whirled around and DDT'd Stacy.
Valerie hit Stacy with the Last Ride and pinned her for the 1,2,3.Valerie won the match but the Dudley Boyz came back to the ring and attacked her.They set her up for the 3-D but before they could hit her with it Triple H came out and easily disposed of the Dudley Boyz.
"No doubt Triple H was as impressed with what Valerie did for him last Thursday on Smackdown as we were and it's only fair that he helps her out now" J.R said.
"Well…I'll admit Valerie was very noble doing what she did but it wasn't very smart,if it hadn't been for the Undertaker she would have gotten hurt big time" the King argued.
"I think she knew that and I don't think she cared" J.R retorted.
"Sweet but not so smart" the King persisted.
Triple H helped Valerie on her feet as the cameras went backstage.Taker was looking on from behind the curtain,he would have been if it had been necessary.He smiled as he watched his daughter raise her hands to the crowd.He could see that his daughter was happy in the WWE and who was he to take that away.

Valerie sighed in exhaustion as she fell onto the bed.She cuddled her pillow and was about to fall asleep with her clothes on when there was a loud knock on the door.Valerie sat up and frowned.She got up and walked to the door.
"Who is it?" Valerie tensely asked.
"It's Matt and Lita" Lita called.
Valerie opened the door and let the both of her friends into the room.Valerie sat down on the bed.Lita sat down next to her while Matt sat down on a chair.
"What brings you two here?" Valerie asked,already having an idea of what this was about.
"It's about Jeff" Lita said.
"I see" Valerie said.
"Val,we know it's none of our business but Jeff…he isn't doing well at all.All he ever talks about is you,he wont eat right,he hardly sleeps,me and Matt are really worried about him.And we're worried about you as well" Lita said.
Valerie heaved a deep sigh and said:
"He dumped me,not the other way around"
"He's really sorry about that,he keep cursing himself and telling himself he's a fool" Matt said.
Valerie's face turned sad and she looked at her hands.
"I love Jeff very much,I really do and I want nothing more than to get back together with him but not before we make certain changes because if we don't,our relationship is gonna end up the same way it did before and I don't know if I can handle being dumped by him again" Valerie said.
Matt and Lita nodded as Valerie sighed again.
"I'm tired right now and I'm probably gonna make a whole lot more sense when I've had a good night sleep" Valerie said.
Lita smiled and hugged Valerie.Lita stroked Valerie's red hair and smiled.
"You have a goodnight sleep,sister golden hair and we'll see you tomorrow" Lita said.
Valerie smiled as Matt and Lita left the hotel room,Valerie got undressed and put on her night atire.She put herself down in bed and sighed again.Jeff,Jeff,Jeff,I love Jeff,I really love Jeff.Valerie whimpered.Then why does RVD keep popping back into my head.
Valerie laid down on her side and softly hummed a song her father had taught her when she was little.She hummed until she fell asleep,a deep dreamless sleep.
