Smackdown : 07-03-2002.
San Antonio,Texas at the Freeman Colliseum.
Taker sighed as he stood in Valerie's dressingroom.He had come to his daughter's dressingroom only to find that she wasn't there and so he was forced to wait.While waiting a book laying on top of her bag caught his eye.He walked to it and grabbed the book,he read the title and frowned.
"Einstein on the beach?" he read,not believing it.
He chuckled and opened the book.He read a few sentences and saw that it was a comical book.He laughed and put it away.
"That daughter of mine" Taker muttered as he put the book back where he found it.
Not long after that Valerie came walking into the dressingroom.
"Hey,sorry to have kept you waiting but I got detained by Trish Stratus,god that girl can talk" Valerie said.
Taker smiled as his daughter quickly put her boots on.Taker checked the clock,one of those punks would probably come to get them soon.And sure enough there was a knock on the door and the door opened.
"Valerie Calloway,you're..." the stagehand stopped when he saw Taker.
Taker growled and the stagehand scuttled away as quickly as he could.Valerie shook her head.
"Dad" she scolded as she got up.
Taker gave Valerie an innocent look but couldn't suppress a smirk.Valerie chuckled and walked to the door, signaling that she was ready to go.They walked out of the dressingroom and into the hallway together.
"Where's uncle Kane?.I haven't seen him for a while" Valerie said.
"He got some time off to give his elbow a rest,he should be back for Raw" Taker said.
Valerie nodded and they walked on.While walking Taker noticed the tense look on his daughter's face,he gently nudged her with his shoulder.
"You okay joyful?" Taker asked.
"Yeah,I'm fine" Valerie lied.
"You're worried about being in the ring with Christian,aren't ya?" Taker asked as they arrived at the curtains.
"That obvious,huh?" Valerie asked.
"Hey" Taker said,gently grasping Valerie's chin "you got nothing to worry about,I'm with ya"
Valerie smiled and half nodded,her chin still in his hand.Taker let go of her chin and they turned to the entrance to wait for their cue.Valerie was set to come out first.
Her music hit and she walked out to the ring.DDP and Christian were already in the ring and as she approached,Christian went after her.Instead of running away,she received him with a kick to the face.Valerie wasn't there to run away,she was there to fight.
She kept kicking Christian as hard as she could to keep him down until she felt two hands plunge into her hair.Almost as soon as the hands had grabbed her,they let go of her.Taker's music hadn't even played so when Page turned around and saw who had stopped him,his eyes widened in shock and his vocal cords stopped functioning properly.
He gasped as Taker rolled him into the ring,Christian went to his corner and Valerie went to hers.Taker began picking Page apart,slamming his head into the turnbuckles,clotheslining him several times and giving him the big boot.Christian managed to cheap shot Taker,allowing Page to tag him in.
Christian wanted to fight Valerie so he pointed at her,on one hand Valerie wasn't keen on the idea of fighting Christian,on the other she wanted to get back at him for what he did so she wanted her dad to tag her in but he refused.Taker turned away from Valerie and fought Christian.
"Dad" Valerie cried.
She cursed as she realized he was ignoring her.She knew why he was doing it but how was she suppose to get revenge when her father would be the one taking care of him.Taker beat Christian down into a corner but as Page distracted the ref,Christian kicked him in the groin sending him down.Christian took it to Taker,at one point throwing him into Valerie's corner,allowing Valerie to tag herself in.
Christian smirked as he watched her step through the ropes and into the ring.Taker forced himself to get up but he was forced into the corner by the referee.Taker extended his hand and said:
"Come on joyful,make the tag,I'm not playing"
"Neither am I" Valerie muttered,as she looked at Christian.
Valerie faced Christian with everything she had and to everybody's surprise,especially Christian's,actually managed to take him down long enough to score a two count.Christian threw her off,grabbed her and locked her in a head lock.He moved his face to hers and said:
"How do you like that,pretty little Valerie?"
Feeling his breath on her face and hearing his voice whispering in her ear brought back the memories of what he had tried to do.She gouched him in the eyes,kicked him in the gut and took him down with a suplex.She went for the pin but Christian kicked out again.
Valerie was thrown off of Christian and Taker reached out and tagged himself in by tapping her shoulder.Valerie left the ring as Christian tagged Page in and Taker faced him.Taker didn't stop his assault long enough for Page to even blink and after demolishing him,Taker allowed Page to tag Christian in.Taker hit Christian with right and left hand punches,laying into him with a fury born out of Christian putting his hands on Valerie.Taker hit Christian with a Last Ride and turned to his daughter.
"Pin him,do you hear me?.Pin him right away" Taker said to her.
Valerie nodded and Taker tagged her in.Valerie got into the ring and looked down at Christian.The perfect revenge.Valerie stepped to him,placed her foot on his chest and the ref counted.1,2,3.Taker smirked as Valerie raised her arms.That's my girl.
Taker stepped up to his daughter and raised her hand in victory as the fans cheered.Their celebration was cut short as Ric Flair came out and attacked Taker.Flair beat on Taker and turned to Valerie.
"You stay out of this" he warned.
Valerie watched as Flair beat on her father and her father fought back.During this entire scuffle which went all the way into the crowd,Flair accidently hit a fan.Flair was held back by referees as Taker made his way back to the ramp and signaled to his daughter that it was time to go.Taker saw the disappointed look on Valerie's face as they walked to the back and sighed,in his opinion there wasn't anything he could do to change that.
As Taker and Valerie got backstage they saw Ric Flair surrounded by police officers and referee's,the fan he had accidently hit with his elbow was standing close by.Taker laughed as it became apparent that Flair was going to be arrested and laughed even harder as he was taken to a patrol car.Valerie wasn't amused.Poor guy,he was only trying to protect his son.Taker looked at his daughter and knew she didn't approve.
"Say it" he said.
"Say what?.That you of all people should know what it's like to have your family attacked?.It's why I'm here in the first place" Valerie said.
"Doesn't that make it a blessing in disguise?" Taker asked.
Valerie smiled sadly and shook her head.Taker spread his arms and Valerie stepped into his embrace.
"You are so cruel sometimes dad" Valerie said.
Taker didn't say anything,he just kissed the top of his daughter's head and smirked.Yeah he was cruel sometimes but his cruelty had gotten him what he wanted,Flair had earlier agreed to face him at Wrestlemania. And no matter what,his cruelty wouldn't stop him from loving his babygirl,nor would it stop him from making sure she was happy.
A/N : It's a short one I know but I hope you'll review anyway.
