Raw : 18-03-2002.
Montreal,Quebec at the Molson Centre.
Valerie sighed as she read another passage in the book on her lap.So romantic.She had already chosen several passages that she wished to remember and she had decided she would pay the copying machine a visit later on.Valerie jumped a foot into the air when someone slammed a door down the hall.
"Numbnut" she swore softly.
She returned to her book when suddenly she heard something that sounded like someone hitting a door with their entire weight,then she heard shouting.Valerie became curious and against her better judgment decided to have a look.
She put her book down and opened her dressingroom door.She peeked down the hall and saw that there was a fight going on.The Rock was standing in the middle of the hallway along with Hollywood Hogan and they were fighting Hall and Nash.They were quickly seperated by referee's and Valerie noticed that Hall and Nash weren't the only ones standing opposite the Rock and Hogan.Her father was there as well.
"Dad?" Valerie said loudly.
Taker turned to Valerie and saw the accusations on her face.Her father was teaming with the two guys who hurt her not too long ago.Valerie frowned as her father approached her.
"Joyful..."
"How could you do that?" Valerie asked.
"I told you,you may be friends with the Rock but I'm not" Taker said.
"That's not what I mean,how could you team with Hall and Nash after what they did?" Valerie asked.
Taker looked confused and Valerie shook with rage.
"What they did to me,or did you forget about that?" Valerie yelled.
"I'm not teaming with 'm because I like 'm,I'm teaming with 'm due to business purposes" Taker said.
"You sound like Vince McMahon" Valerie spat.
"Joyful..." Taker said.
"Forget it dad,just forget it" Valerie said.
She stormed into her room and Taker followed her.Valerie picked up her book and scowled at her father.
"The one person I'm suppose to be able to trust is now siding with the enemy,thanks alot dad" Valerie said.
Before Taker could say anything Valerie stormed back out of the room.
Valerie was seriously pissed off as she walked into the hallway looking for the copyingmachine,it was just like her dad to pull something like that.She shrugged it off as she walked into another hallway and frowned when she saw RVD with Stacy.They were embracing and smiling.RVD and Stacy looked up and saw Valerie standing there.All at once the puzzle pieces fell into place,RVD wasn't really in love with her.
Valerie felt very calm about the whole thing,it was good that RVD was moving on.RVD,however,immediately backed away from Stacy and said:
"Valerie,this isn't…"
"Pardon the interruption but I didn't know the two of you were here" Valerie interrupted softly.
Valerie walked to the copying machine and said:
"Please continue what you were doing,as if I weren't here"
RVD turned red in the face as Valerie turned to the machine and went about her business.RVD walked to her and stood there trying to think of what to say.Stacy looked a little uncomfortable with the whole situation.
"I'll leave the two of you alone" Stacy said.
"No,by all means stay.RVD doesn't owe me anything,he has the right to be with whoever he wants to be with and quite frankly…" Valerie said,stopping to turn to RVD "I'm glad that you and Stacy are together,it clears up alot of unsolved issues for me and I thank you for that"
Valerie's voice had been very soft when she said those things and RVD looked like he was about to die.Valerie finished what she was doing and picked up her stack of paper and her book.
"Well I better go,I'll leave you two by yourselves" Valerie said before turning around and walking away.
RVD looked seriously pained as she walked away.Valerie walked into the hallway with a small smile on her face.That closes chapter RVD,she thought.Valerie walked back to her dressingroom with the stack of paper.
As Valerie sat in her dressingroom watching the show,she went over her schedule for the evening.She didn't have a match herself but she would be accompanying Lita to the ring for the her match against Trish and she would be valetting for Kane and Edge during their match against Booker-T and Kurt Angle.Kane and Edge didn't actually know this yet but she knew she could get it done.
The first match on the show,however,was RVD vs Christian.RVD came out first and it struck Valerie that he was looking very unhappy.I can't help that,we're not meant to be,Valerie thought,easing her conscience.Valerie winced as Christian came out,that man hurt her more than anyone else ever did before.Kick his ass Rob.
Thankfully,RVD did just that.He beat Christian and retained his title.Typical,he dumps DDP and instantly transforms back into a loser.Valerie wrinkled her nose.Not that I like DDP much.After his match RVD still didn't seem happy and J.R and Jerry Lawler commented on it.Valerie sighed,that's life.
"Anything I can do to make you feel better?" a very familiar voice said from the doorway.
Valerie jumped up and jumped into Jeff's arms.They kissed eachother,passionately and hungrily.When they stopped they both had a goofy grin on their faces.Jeff put Valerie down and put his hands on her butt.Valerie smiled and asked:
"To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I just thought I'd come see my baby" Jeff whispered in her ear,in a low voice.
Valerie shivered in delight,she loved his North Carolinan accent,much better than a Texan accent that was for sure.Valerie and Jeff kissed again until they heard a gasp from the doorway.Valerie and Jeff turned to see Lita standing there with her hands on her cheeks.
"Oh my god,I had no idea" Lita squealed "You two are back together?"
Valerie nodded and Lita hugged her.
"I'm so happy for you" Lita said.
"You didn't tell her?" Valerie asked Jeff.
"This is the first time I've seen her since just before Wrestlemania" Jeff said.
Lita nodded and smiled brightly.
"Well Jeffro,I'm gonna have to steal Valerie away from you for a few moments cause she's valetting for me" Lita said.
Jeff pouted as Valerie kissed him on the lips,briefly sucking on his bottom lip.Jeff whimpered as Lita dragged Valerie from the room by her arm.Valerie and Lita made their way to the entrance and heard Trish Stratus' music blaring over the speakers.
Lita rolled her eyes as she heard the fans cheer and whistle and Valerie chuckled.Lita was up next,followed closely by Valerie.Trish frowned as she saw Valerie but her frown turned into a smile when Valerie smiled and waved at her.Valerie wouldn't interfere in the match.Trish immediately attacked Lita and threw her into the corner but Lita countered and tackled Trish to the floor.
"Let's go Lolita" Valerie yelled.
"Valerie cheering for her friend Lita,or as she calls her,Lolita" J.R said.
Trish fought her way out of a Twist of Fate and she and Lita wrestle around for a bit.
"Valerie's looking great J.R,do you think I could talk her into joining us?" the King asked excitedly.
"I think Valerie is here to support Lita and nothing else,King" J.R said.
Lita hit the moonsault and pinned Trish for the 1,2,3.Valerie cheered but stopped when Jazz blew right into the ring and attacked Lita.Valerie jumped into the ring just as Trish got up.Trish and Lita double team Jazz while Valerie looks on.Out of nowhere Ivory came out but was met with a very angry Valerie.Valerie stomped Ivory into a corner,dragged her up by her hair and gave her the Last Ride.
Valerie,Trish and Lita went up the ramp with the three of them leaving Jazz and Ivory in the ring.
"Somehow I don't think we've heard the end of that" Trish said.
"Let them bring it on" Valerie said with a shrug.
"I gotta go,see ya Lita,see ya firebird" Trish said,waving goodbye.
"See ya" both Valerie and Lita said,watching Trish walk away.
When Trish was gone Lita turned to Valerie.
"Firebird,huh?" Lita asked.
Valerie thought she spotted a tone of jealousy in Lita's voice but that was ridiculous so she shrugged it off.
"Yeah,her nickname for me" Valerie said.
"What's your nickname for her?" Lita asked.
"I don't have one" Valerie said.
This seemed to please Lita but again Valerie wasn't sure.Maybe she was just getting tired,she had trained hard that morning.The Rock was one of Valerie's best friends and he would never hurt her,unless it was during their training,therefore she had been on the receiving end of not one,not two but three bodyslams by the Rock during their training,not to mention a rockbottom.Valerie sighed and said:
"I guess I'll have to think of one.I gotta go now.I'll see ya later Lolita"
Lita smiled brightly and hugged Valerie.
"See ya later Sister Golden Hair" Lita said.
They broke the hug and both went their seperate ways.Valerie walked through the hallway and made her way to Kane's dressingroom.Fingers crossed,Valerie thought as she knocked on the door.Three seconds later the door violently swung open and Valerie was face to face with her large uncle.Kane's furious expression disappeared,he tilted his head and smiled.
"Munchkin" he said.
"Hi uncle Kane,can I come in?" Valerie asked.
Kane stepped aside so Valerie could enter and once inside she decided to ask him immediately.
"Can I valet for your match tonight?" Valerie asked.
"Munchkin…" Kane started.
"Please uncle Kane,please.I promise I wont be in the way" Valerie said.
"It's not about you being in the way,I know you wont be in the way.What I'm worried about is your safety" Kane said.
"But I'll be fine" Valerie said,widening her eyes and putting on a pouty face.
Kane whimpered,his brother would kill him if she got hurt,he would never forgive himself if she got hurt but he could never resist the blue eyes and the pouty face.
"You have to promise me you'll be careful" Kane said.
"I will be" Valerie said,smiling.
"And you wont interfere in the match" Kane added.
"I wont" Valerie said.
"If you do,this is the last time you valet for me" Kane said.
"Got it" Valerie said.
Kane sighed and ruffled Valerie's hair.
"Let's go" he said.
When they arrived at the entrance,they were met with Edge.
"Hey Valerie,you're coming with us?" Edge asked.
"Yep" Valerie said.
Edge smiled brightly and Valerie smiled back.If Edge hadn't been wearing his sunglasses,Valerie would have seen the affectionate look he had on his face.Kurt Angle and Booker-T were already in the ring and Edge was set to go next.His music hit and he walked out,cheering and screaming filling the arena.
Valerie chuckled,she could clearly hear the women in the crowd yelling:'I love you Edge'.Kane was up next and after his pyro's went off both he and Valerie came walking out.Kane and Booker-T started the match.Kane immediately gained the upperhand and he knocked Booker-T down.Valerie cheered him on as he went up top and hit Booker-T with a flying clothesline.It never seized to amaze Valerie that a seven foot,330 pound man could fly like that.
Kane went for the cover but Kurt interrupted the count.Booker-T took Kane down and tagged Kurt in.Kane,however,got up and choked Kurt,only to be knocked down by Booker-T.Kurt tagged Booker-T in and he went for the scissors kick.Kane countered the move and slammed Booker-T.The fans started cheering very loudly and Valerie heard some fans behind her warning her.
Christian ran after Valerie as she ran away from him.Kane walked away from Booker-T,backflipped over the top rope and stopped Christian from hurting Valerie.He chokeslammed Christian but the distraction caused Kane to get counted out and so Booker-T and Kurt Angle won the match.Valerie looked sad as she walked to her uncle.
"I'm sorry uncle Kane" Valerie said softly.
"Hey" Kane said,wrapping his massive arms around Valerie "you got nothing to apologize munchkin,you're more important than a match"
Valerie smiled at her uncle and she,Kane and Edge went backstage.Once they got backstage,Edge turned to Valerie.
"Hey Valerie,could I talk to you?.In private" Edge said,glancing at Kane.
Kane gave Valerie a questioning look and she nodded.Kane hugged his niece and walked off.
"Look…" Edge began "I think you've figured out by now that I like you,I mean love you.I have since I met you and I think I always will but I don't want you to think that I would ever do anything to hurt you"
Edge took a deep breath and said:
"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish you and Jeff all the best of luck,I hope you're very happy together and eh…if you ever need a friend,I'm here for you no matter what"
Valerie smiled and sighed.
"Thanks Edge,you're the best friend anyone could ask for" Valerie said.
Edge and Valerie hugged and when they broke the hug,they both went their own way.Before he walked away Edge asked:
"You'll let me know if you ever become single again right?"
"Edge" Valerie scolded,laughing.
"It was worth a try" Edge said,grinning.
Valerie smiled happily as she went on her way.And that settles that,Valerie thought.Her smile broadened when she saw Jeff heading towards her.Jeff smiled and lifted Valerie into his arms.They kissed for a little while until they heard a voice behind them.
"Ah yes,there is nothing quite as enchanting as two young people in love" the voice said.
Jeff and Valerie turned towards William Regal and saw him standing there.Smiling at Valerie,scowling at Jeff.
"What about you mr Regal?.Is there anybody special in your life?" Valerie asked,sincerely wanting to know.
William,however,thought she was making fun of him and said:
"I assume you are both aware of the draft that will take place next week?"
Both Valerie and Jeff nodded.
"What will happen if you and your brother are on opposite sides?.There would be no more Hardy Boyz.What would happen if mr McMahon picks you" William said pointing at Jeff "and Ric Flair picks you"
William pointed at Valerie and Valerie frowned.
"You wont be seeing much of eachother if that were to happen.You two 'lovebirds' think about that and I'll see you,miss Calloway,later" William said before walking away.
Jeff scowled at William's retreating back but Valerie just frowned.
"He's right,they could split us up" Valerie said.
Jeff looked at Valerie and embraced her.They held eachother as they thought of what might happen if they were split up.Jeff soothed Valerie by saying they shouldn't become paranoid,they wouldn't be split up.Valerie nodded but she wasn't convinced.Valerie suddenly remembered something and she said:
"I need to go do something,I'll meet you at your dressingroom when I'm done"
"Sure" Jeff said.
They kissed briefly and Valerie walked away.She made her way to her father's dressingroom and knocked.
"What?" an annoyed voice yelled.
"It's me daddy,Valerie" Valerie said,purposely calling him 'daddy'.
"Come in joyful" Taker said.
Valerie opened the door and walked in.Her father was sitting on one of the benches watching the last match on the card.Taker turned the monitor off and sat up straight.Valerie stood next to him and said:
"I wanna apologize for my outburst earlier,I'm an adult now and I should have acted like one"
Taker nodded and patted the bench he was sitting on,signaling Valerie to sit down next to him.She did and he put one of his arms around her shoulders.
"Apology accepted.I should have known better than to side with the N.W.O though" Taker said.
Valerie smiled and nodded.Taker smiled as well and kissed his daughter on the side of her head.Valerie leaned into his arms as he turned the monitor back on.She ended up watching the rest of the show with him and she quickly headed for Jeff's dressingroom.Valerie smiled as she walked through the hallway,things just couldn't get better.
Valerie felt a heavy object hit her in the back of her head and everything went black.
A/N : A cliffhanger,how cruel.lol.Please read and review.
