A/N : Well my muse has once again left me.I'm now stuck writing boring chapters,sorry about that.lol.

Raw : 11-03-2002.

Valerie whistled a song as she scanned through the numerous kinds of candy.Taker and Valerie had began the 7 hour drive to Atlanta that same day at 6 in the morning.After seven hours of driving her father was dead tired and Valerie was starving.Her father had gone to his hotelroom and was now taking a nap while Valerie had discovered that there was a K-Mart just down the street.

And so she was now rummaging around the store.Once she had collected all the food she needed and then some,she turned around to head for the cashregister.She turned around and walked straight into the broad chest belonging to Bradshaw.Valerie yelped as she dropped everything she was holding.

"Oh for the love of..." Valerie started.

"Me?" Bradshaw asked,smiling broadly,a cigar in his mouth.

"No,actually I had someone else in mind" Valerie retorted as she bent down to pick things up.

Bradshaw looked down at her as she picked the candy and sweets up.Bradshaw took the cigar from his mouth and circled Valerie.

"You shouldn't eat that stuff,it's bad for you" he remarked.

"Well,that's rich coming from you" Valerie said,getting up straight.

"And what is that suppose to mean?" Bradshaw said getting in Valerie's face.

"What is it you have in your left hand?" Valerie asked,unphased by the big Texan in front of her.

"A cigar" Bradshaw said.

"And how bad is smoking for you?" Valerie asked.

Bradshaw opened his mouth to say something but Valerie beat him to it.

"My point exactly.Someone who smokes has no right to tell someone else not to eat sweets because it's bad for them.Excuse me" Valerie said.

Valerie walked off,leaving Bradshaw staring after her.Upon arrival at the hotel Valerie picked her key up in the lobby and was told that a package had arrived for her.She took the package,signed for it and went up to her room.She put her things away and sat down on the bed with the package in her hand.

She searched for a card but found none.She shrugged and opened the box.She gasped and dropped the box as she saw the contents.The contents spilled over the floor as Valerie fled the room.In her panic Valerie remembered only one room number,324 just down the hall.She urgently knocked on the door and when it opened she was face to face with Lita.

Lita saw Valerie's distraught face and immediately ushered her into her room.Lita sat Valerie down and gave her some water to drink.At first Valerie could only stammer some incoherent words but as she began to calm down she was able to tell Lita what had happened.Lita asked Matt to go to Valerie's room and he did.When he came back he said it was all cleaned up.

Valerie didn't manage to get rid of the distraught feeling until Raw had already started and it was time for her match against Molly Holly.Valerie would have to defend her title against Molly,she was much smaller than Valerie but she was by no means a push-over and Valerie knew she had to focus.

Valerie took a deep breath as her music roared through the speakers and the fans got to their feet.Valerie walked out with a big smile on her face and her smile turned sincere when she saw how many people were out there,Valerie loved performing in front of so many people.It was thrilling and very satisfying.

Molly came out next.It never seized to amaze Valerie that Molly always looked tough and beautiful at the same time.Valerie smiled as Molly walked into the ring and walked straight up to her,getting right into her face, despite the 8 inches that seperated them in length.The bell ran and Molly immediately took it to Valerie,hitting her with right and left hand punches.Molly whipped Valerie into the ropes and went for a clothesline but Valerie ducked and knocked Molly down with a clothesline of her own.During the match the referee checked on Molly, turning his back on Valerie.

Valerie went to approach Molly to finish her off but suddenly she felt her head being pulled back by her hair.She felt a strong arm wrapping around her neck and slamming her down in a reverse DDT.Molly rolled over to Valerie and pinned her to become the new Women's Champion.

After the match Valerie stumbled up,she didn't understand what had happened.She had Molly beat and suddenly she had lost her belt.She stumbled to the ropes and felt someone grabbing her foot.She was pulled out of the ring and pulled up straight.Christian grabbed Valerie's head and pulled it closer to his.

"Did you like my present?" Christian snarled.

Valerie's eyes widened in shock and Christian smirked before slamming his lips into Valerie's.Valerie tried to pull away but he was too strong.Christian broke the kiss,kneed Valerie in the stomach to discourage any offensive plans she might have and threw her over his shoulder.

He walked up the ramp but was met with Jeff Hardy,who cursed at him,worried for Valerie's safety and pissed at Christian for touching her.RVD came out as well and when Jeff saw him,he turned to him.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jeff yelled at him.

Jeff and RVD yelled insults back and forth,eventually coming to blows.Christian smirked as he walked right past them.Valerie couldn't believe it,they were fighting eachother.She whimpered as she realized Christian was taking her to a car.

A thousand things rushed through Valerie's mind,where was her father?.Where was her uncle?.Her questions were answered when she saw her father and her uncle being fought back by Lance Storm,Test and shockingly the N.W.O.They wouldn't be able to help her in time.

"Daddy" Valerie yelled,tears streaming down her face.

Suddenly Valerie felt herself being thrown over Christian's shoulder.She landed on the hard cement floor.Her back hurt like crazy as she scrambled to her feet and looked at where Christian had been.Edge was there kicking the shit out of his little brother just as Kane and Taker received help from Triple H,the Rock and Steve Austin.Taker ran to his daughter and caught her just as she collapsed.

She burst into tears as he embraced her,softly stroking her hair and murmuring comforting words.Kane,the Rock and Triple H stood around them,all three of them looked sad.Jeff came into the parking-lot,looking very ashamed of himself.Triple H and the Rock scowled at him,causing him to back away.

Once Valerie calmed down a little,Taker lifted her off the floor and cradled her in his arms.He brought her back to the hotel in his car,his little girl had been through alot and it wasn't over by any means.Taker swore that he would never allow Christian or anyone else to hurt his daughter like that again but there was still the matter of Jeff Hardy and apparently RVD,that was one battle he couldn't fight for her,that was one battle she had to fight all by herself.

Smackdown : 14-03-2002.

Valerie scowled as she looked at the two men standing in front of her.Jeff was the first to break the unbearable silence.

"Valerie,I'm sorry" he said.

"Yeah you're sorry,sorry you didn't get to be the big hero" Valerie said,unknowingly saying exactly what RVD had thought when Austin locked her in the container.

Valerie shook her head furiously,wiping at her tears.

"I can't believe you,either of you.You were more concerned with who the better man was than you were with my well-being" Valerie ranted.

"That's not true" RVD said.

"You were standing there arguing about who would save me and you let Christian take me away.Edge is the one who saved me" Valerie said,pointing at Edge.

RVD and Jeff both looked ashamed as they looked away.

"But you know what?.It doesn't matter,it doesn't matter who the bigger man is cause I don't want anything to do with either of you" Valerie snapped.

Before RVD or Jeff could say another word,Valerie walked off.Edge followed her.

"Valerie,wait up" Edge called.

He caught up with her and gently turned her to face him.

"I'm sorry,I'm sorry all this is happening"

"Not as sorry as I am" Valerie said,tears forming in her eyes.

"Hey" Edge said softly,gathering her in his arms.

Valerie sobbed into his chest and Edge gently stroked her hair.After a while she calmed down and broke the hug.

"How did I get into this mess?"

"It's not your fault,the whole thing overwhelmed you" Edge said.

"It's sweet of you to say that but I don't think that's true.I'm just as guilty as they are" Valerie said.

"They're jerks,you just got caught in the middle" Edge said.

Valerie chuckled.That's when Edge noticed just how beautiful she really was.

"You're a big sweetheart,you know that?"

"Yeah I know" Edge said,grinning.

Edge knew Valerie liked him as a friend and nothing more but maybe,just maybe she'd be able to develop feelings for him.He'd give her all the time and space she needed.And even if they would never be together,he was damn sure going to be the best friend ever.

A/N : I don't wish to offend anyone and I'm sorry if the rat in the box stuff did but I didn't mean anything by it at all.I'm crazy about animals.I portray Christian as a sadistic jerk in this story and I'm sorry to all Christian fans,I don't dislike Christian at all,I just need a bad guy and he fits the profile,sorry again.Please read and review.
