Friday : 29-03-2002.

Valerie groaned as she rested her head on Jeff's shoulder,she had a monstrous hang-over and she felt miserable beyond description.They were sitting in one of the WWE buses,which was filled with WWE superstars and headed for Albany.Jeff kissed the top of Valerie's head and smiled.She had been very snappy and very angry that morning but now she was just plain miserable.

Suddenly,Valerie's eyes shot open and she stumbled from her seat.She passed Jeff and ran to the small toilet in the back of the bus.She fell down the small stairs that led to it in her hurry causing Triple H,who was sitting nearby,to wince.

Jeff could hear his girlfriend throw up and he grimaced.He walked to the back of the bus and helped Valerie get back to her seat.

"This is so embarassing" Valerie whispered when they were sitting again.

"It's a hang-over,everybody in this bus has had one at one point in their lifes" Jeff said softly.

Valerie nodded but she was still very ashamed.She spent the rest of the day being very sick.Once they arrived in Albany Valerie and Jeff went to the hotel.Valerie laid herself down on the bed,on her stomach and closed her eyes.Jeff sat next to her and gently rubbed her back.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" Jeff asked.

"No,that's alright,you can go out.I'm not gonna be any fun to be around since I'm only going to be sleeping anyway" Valerie said.

Jeff smiled,leaned over her and kissed her on the side of the head.

"I think I'll stay anyway" Jeff said.

Valerie smiled and nodded weakly.That was her Jeff,always thinking of her first.Valerie fell into a peaceful sleep not long after that.

Raw : 01-04-2002.

Albany,New York.

The first Raw since the draft and Valerie was ready to go.She had a match against Jacqueline and she was going to have to focus on the match.

Her music cued and she made her way out to ringside.The fans cheered loudly and Valerie was glad she had had the time to get rid of her hang-over,the cheers of the crowd would have been murder on her if she hadn't.

Valerie smiled as she entered the ring and awaited Jackie's arrival.Jackie entered the ring and stepped up to Valerie.

"Hey my Texan sister,have you recovered from your hang over yet?" Jackie asked.

Valerie smiled and asked:

"Why don't I show you?"

Jackie and Valerie locked up and Valerie put Jackie in a side headlock.Jackie pulled Valerie down by the arm and speared her.Jackie went for the cover.

1...2 but Valerie kicked out.

Valerie whipped Jackie into the ropes and Jackie came back with a vicious clothesline.Jackie pulled Valerie up by her hair and went to powerbomb her but Valerie fought her way out of it and bodyslammed Jackie.Valerie went for the cover.

1...2 but Jackie kicked out.

When Jackie got up,Valerie went to clothesline her but Jackie ducked and came back with a clothesline of her own.Jackie whipped Valerie into the ropes and gave her a flap jack.Jackie went for the cover.

1...2 but Valerie kicked out yet again.

Jackie pulled Valerie up and went to hit the powerbomb but Valerie back body dropped Jacqueline.Jacqueline got up and Valerie gave her the Last Ride.

1...2...3.

Valerie helped Jacqueline up after the match and extended her hand to her.Jacqueline slapped her hand away and pulled Valerie in for a hug.

"Good match,girl,good match" Jacqueline breathed before walking up the ramp.

Valerie nodded and followed Jacqueline to the back.The fans cheered both women as they made their ways backstage.Valerie walked through the hallway and to her dressingroom when she saw her father standing near the door.He smiled at her and nodded in acknowledgement.Valerie smiled back.

"Hi dad" Valerie said.

"Hi babygirl" Taker said.

"Did you watch my match?" Valerie asked.

Taker nodded and said:

"I'm surprised you managed to wrestle at all,seeing as how you were 'half seas over' not to long ago" Taker remarked.

"Why that rotten snitching uncle of mine" Valerie said,but she was smiling.

"Relax,I practically had to drag it out of 'm" Taker said.

"You shouldn't have been able to" Valerie muttered.

Taker smirked and Valerie put on a fake scowl.Taker kissed Valerie on the forehead and said:

"I'll be going now,I'll see ya later babygirl"

Valerie nodded and Taker walked away.

"Dad?" Valerie called after him.

"Yeah?" Taker asked,stopping to look at his daughter.

"Who are you facing tonight?" Valerie asked.

"Kevin Nash" Taker said.

Taker walked off and Valerie thought for a minute.Kevin Nash,huh?.Well it just so happens I have a bone to pick with him.Valerie nodded as she walked into her dressingroom.

***

Valerie took a deep breath as she stepped out.Kevin Nash was beating on her father but that would soon change.Valerie managed to get to the ring without being seen by Nash and when the referee's back was turned,she whacked Nash across the head with a steel chair.Nash went down,giving her father enough time to get up and hit Nash with the Last Ride.

Valerie climbed into the ring and walked to her father,who was clutching his ribs.Taker turned around and looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Joyful,what are you doing here?" Taker asked.

"Helping you" Valerie answered.

"I don't need your help,I don't want your help.You could have gotten hurt" Taker scolded.

Tears filled Valerie's eyes.

"I was only trying to help" she muttered.

Suddenly Taker pushed Valerie aside and went down.Valerie whirled around and found herself face to face with Brock Lesnar.She quickly backed away but he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to him.Paul Heyman was right next to him and he yelled:

"This time hurt her"

"What?.That's despicable,that heinous toad Paul Heyman is telling Brock Lesnar to hurt this young lady" J.R cried.

"She doesn't deserve that,she may not have been very smart getting into the ring but she doesn't deserve to be decimated" the King said.

Brock grinned at Valerie and for a moment she thought he was going to kiss her again but he simply backed her into a corner,lifted her up by her waist and sat her down on the top turnbuckle.Brock turned back to the Undertaker and took him down with an F5 while Valerie was forced to watch.Brock bent down to pick Taker up again and Valerie got out of the corner.

She summoned all her courage,walked to Brock and waited for him to turn around.Brock turned around and walked straight into Valerie's boot.It didn't even phaze him,he touched the corner of his mouth and smiled.He roughly shoved Valerie to the ground and walked out of the ring.Valerie crawled to her father.Man,am I in for a scolding when we get backstage,Valerie thought sourly.She was right.

During the scolding Taker told her that he was getting increasingly frustrated with her,she refused to keep herself safe no matter what he told her and it was hurting him.He made her promise it wouldn't happen again but they both knew better.

A/N : Well,another short one but they will get longer soon.Please,please,please review.
