Raw : 08-04-2002.

Phoenix,Arizona at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Valerie hesitated as she stood in front of Vince McMahon's temporary office.He once again sneaked his way into the Raw program and he had summoned her into his office under the pretence of talking to her but Valerie wasn't so sure,it was a well-known fact that McMahon didn't like her and he wasn't above setting her up.

Still,she wanted to know what he had to say so the best thing to do was to just go in.She knocked and waited for an answer.

"Come in" Vince McMahon called to her.

Valerie stepped into the room and closed the door behind her.She immediately the big man standing next to Vince.Vince's face started to glow when he saw her and Valerie became suspicious.Valerie saw the camera in the room which meant millions of people were watching.Valerie looked at Vince and then at her father.

"Mr McMahon,dad" Valerie greeted.

Taker nodded at her.Vince extended his hand and said:

"Dear Valerie,so good of you to come" Vince said.

Valerie smiled briefly and shook Vince's extended hand.Vince went to kiss her hand but she pulled it away.Taker smirked.

"I'll be going now.Remember what I told you McMahon" Taker said.

"Don't worry,I will" Vince said.

Taker kissed Valerie on the side of her head and smiled.

"Take care joyful" Taker said.

"See ya dad" Valerie said smiling.

Taker left and Vince smiled at Valerie.

"You summoned me" Valerie stated.

"Yes I did" Vince said.

"Might I know why?" Valerie asked.

"Yes of course.Let's have a seat,shall we?" Vince asked.

"This is going to take alot of time,isn't it?" Valerie asked.

"Not if you don't want it to" Vince said in a low voice.

Vince smirked at Valerie making her frown and pull her lip up in disgust.

"I don't know why but I suddenly have an astonishing urge to leave" Valerie said.

"You don't wanna leave,not without first listening to my offer" Vince stated.

"Well make it quick,I got things to do" Valerie said.

Valerie knew she was being rude but Vince being so nice to her was making her nervous and she didn't quite know how to deal with that.

"Let's just sit down" Vince said.

Vince and Valerie sat down next to eachother and Vince started talking right away.

"I like you Valerie.You're strong,young,beautiful…" Vince said.

"If you want me to throw up,you could just tell me" Valerie cut in.

"Please,…I know your annoyed by the things that happened in the past but if I'm able to put them behind me, you should be able to do so as well" Vince said.

"Very well…go on" Valerie said.

"Thank you.I knew you'd sensible about it.I not only think you're strong,young and beautiful,I also think you're intelligent,you talk intelligent,you look intelligent.Which is why I'm about to offer you this one time deal,a deal you wont be able to refuse" Vince said confidently.

"Hold up,I can save you alot of time.I'm not interested in your one time deals and I'm certainly not interested in you.Good day" Valerie said.

Valerie got up and wanted to leave but Vince ceased her wrist.

"Let go" Valerie said.

"I'm not done yet" Vince stated.

"Well I am,now let go" Valerie snarled.

Valerie tried to rip her arm away from Vince to get loose and in the process pulled Vince to his feet.She was stronger than she looked but he wasn't letting go.

"You're nothing but a disrespectful little bitch" Vince spat.

"Oh,I can feel my heart breaking,no,wait…that was my patience" Valerie sneered.

Vince turned red in the face and by now Valerie was quivering in anger.The fans cheered loudly.

"Do you got a pen J.R?" the King asked.

"What do you want a pen for?" J.R inquired.

"I need to write that down" the King said.

"For the last time take your hand off my arm before I take your hand off your arm" Valerie growled.

"All due respect but you wouldn't be able to" Vince said mockingly.

"Try me" Valerie dared.

"I think I will" Vince said.

"Good" Valerie cooed.

Valerie then punched Vince straight in the jaw,sending him reeling backwards.Valerie turned on her heel and walked off.Vince was irate and he immediately set up a match between himself and Valerie for next Raw. He had to get it past Flair since it would mean having Vince wrestling on Raw but surprisingly Flair agreed.Valerie told her father about the match and he didn't respond.

"Dad?.Did you even hear what I said?" Valerie asked.

"I heard you" Taker said.

"Well?" Valerie asked.

"Well what?" Taker asked.

"I would have expected some support" Valerie said.

"It's your match,you don't need me" Taker stated.

"But Vince..." Valerie started.

"Vince McMahon is my boss and I owe him at least some loyalty" Taker stated.

"What about...but I..." Valerie stammered.

Valerie slumped her shoulders and backed away from her father.Her eyes filled with tears and she turned away from him before he could see them.She walked away leaving her father sitting there,who looked very sad as he watched her go.

***

Valerie trembled as she waited for her music to cue.She had expected her father to be upset about the match, she had expected him to offer help to her but he didn't.He basically just ignored her.The upset feeling in the pit of her stomach had made way for something she was all too familiar with,fury.

"Some father" she snarled softly.

She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.She turned around and saw Kane looking at her.He tilted his head when he saw the angry look on her face.

"What's the matter munchkin?" Kane asked.

"Nothing" she muttered.

"I don't think nothing would put such an angry look on your face" Kane remarked.

"My father" Valerie simply said.

Kane nodded in understanding.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Kane asked.

Valerie's music cued and she sighed.

"Maybe later" she said.

"I'll see you after the show" Kane said.

Valerie nodded and smiled as Kane ruffled her hair.Valerie took a deep breath and stepped out to the ring, before she could reach the ring however Jazz attacked her from behind.Jazz rolled Valerie into the ring and the bell rang.Jazz pounded Valerie but Valerie fought back and bodyslammed Jazz,following up with a leg drop and going for the cover.

1...2...but Jazz kicked out.

Valerie was on fire,she hit Jazz with two double-arm suplexes,a clothesline and a ddt before going for the Last Ride.Toughness was Jazz' trademark and she managed to wrestle out of the Last Ride.Jazz rolled Valerie up.

1...2...but Valerie kicked out.

Jazz went for a crossbody off the top rope but missed.Valerie hit her with a brainbuster and a successful Last Ride to win the match.Valerie could hear the fans cheer loudly as if someone was coming as she stumbled to her feet.Valerie turned around and walked straight into a very broad chest making her fall down onto the mat. She looked up and gasped.Uh oh.
