A/N : For those of you who are upset about this fic no longer being a Jeff Hardy fic,who's to say it wont become one again?.I'm not promising anything though.
RAW : 20-05-2002.
Memphis,Tennessee.
Valerie rolled her eyes as she listened to her father shooting his mouth off in the middle of the ring.He talked about how he won the title,how he earned the right to come down the ramp first and start Raw.God,he sounds like a child,Valerie thought.Just when Taker left the ring,Valerie's lockerroom door opened.Trish stepped in with two bottles of water and smiled at Valerie.
"I got our water" Trish said but there was a tremble in her voice.
Valerie frowned as she accepted the bottle of water.
"What's wrong?" Valerie asked.
"Nothing's wrong,I'm just nervous for our match that's all" Trish said.
"Right" Valerie said,making sure to put an unbelieving tone in her voice.
"It's true" Trish snapped.
"Okay" Valerie soothed.
But Trish could tell that Valerie didn't buy it.Damn you for doing this to me,Heyman,Trish thought.The stagehand knocked on the door and announced that it was time for
Valerie and Ivory lockup to start out.Valerie backs Ivory into the corner.Ivory reverses it and they get a clean break.Ivory knocks Valerie down.Another lockup into a side headlock by Ivory.Valerie struggled out of the headlock and kicked Ivory down.Ivory tagged Jazz in.Trish asks for the tag and Valerie tagged her in.Trish knocked Jazz down only to be hit by a sweep kick.Jazz covers.
1…2…but Trish kicked out.
Jazz knocked Trish down again which resulted in another near fall.Trish backed Jazz into a corner and hit her with some chops.Trish hit Jazz with a suplex and went for the cover.
1…2…but Jazz kicked out.
Trish tags Valerie in while Jazz attempts to tag Ivory in.Valerie stops her and pulls her to the center of the ring.Jazz goes to hit Valerie with a back elbow but misses and Valerie hits her with the Last Ride.After the match Ivory jumped Valerie and she and Jazz double teamed her.Trish went to help but stopped when Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar stepped into the ring.
Brock frightened Trish just by looking at her while Valerie fought Jazz and Ivory off.Jazz and Ivory backed away from Valerie when they saw Brock and they quickly left the ring.Valerie was confused as she turned around to see what had frightened them.She saw Brock Lesnar walking towards Trish.Valerie positioned herself between Trish and Brock and stared up at him.Brock noticed the anger on her face and backed off.
He left the ring while Heyman protested.
"I know you wanna protect Valerie and I'm okay with that but that doesn't mean Trish has to be protected as well" Heyman said.
"I'm not protecting Trish,it would hurt Valerie's feelings if I'd hurt her so I wont" Brock said.
Heyman was left to stare at Brock's retreating back as Brock walked away.

"It is truly an honor to have such a classy lady at my side" a voice said.
"Thank you William,it's good to see at least someone appreciates a pure and wholesome woman like me" the other voice said.
Valerie smiled wickedly as she saw William Regal and Molly Holly coming down the hallway,arm in arm.William spotted her and said:
"Valerie"
"William and little Molly Holly as well" Valerie responded.
"What do you mean little?" Molly cried indignantly.
"Well,you're not exactly a skyscraper are you?" Valerie asked innocently.
Molly's mouth dropped open but she quickly snapped out of it.She puffed her chest up and put her nose in the air.And it still doesn't reach my chest,Valerie thought,snickering inwardly.
"Physically I may not be very tall but spiritually I'm larger than life" Molly declared in a haughty voice.
Valerie let out a small laugh and Molly huffed in anger.
"Ladies,please.There's no need to argue" William soothed.
"Who's arguing?" Valerie asked.
"Yes well,I'm glad to see you're okay after your encounter with that toe rag Brock Lesnar" William said.
Valerie's eyes darkened and she approached William.
"What did you call him?"
"Surely you're not upset about an insult hurled at that…" William said.
But Valerie interrupted him.
"That what?" she snapped.
"Oh dear,I can see where this is going,I apologize if I upset you in any way,I was not aware you were involved with mr Lesnar in any way" William said.
Valerie visibly calmed down but she was still miffed.
"You shouldn't judge people before you get to know them" she said.
"I realize that now,my apologies once again" William said.
Valerie glanced at Molly and when she saw the scowl on her face it took her everything she had to keep herself from bursting into laughter.
"Yeah well,that's alright" Valerie said,straining to keep her laughter at bay.
"I am glad to hear it,myself and miss Holly must be on our way but I'm sure we'll meet again" William said.
"I'm sure we will.Bye Molly" Valerie said.
Molly grumbled as she and William continued on their way and as soon as they were gone,Valerie burst into a fit of giggles.
"Talk about easy to get to" she muttered through her tears of mirth.
She wiped at her eyes and caught sight of her father from the corner of her eye.She ran down the hall and called after him.
"Father,father" she called in an altered voice.
Taker turned around and chuckled when he saw his daughter running towards him.She hugged him when she caught up to him and giggled.
"What are you giggling about?" Taker asked,noting the twinkle in Valerie's eyes.
"I just had the best time talking to William Regal and Molly Holly,I don't know why but my mood just did a complete 180.I was in such a lousy mood when I left the hotel this morning but now…" Valerie said,not finishing her sentence.
"That's good to hear" Taker said.
"Anyway,what I wanted to ask you was can I valet for your match?" Valerie asked.
"I'm facing the Big Show so you know the answer to that question" Taker said.
"Oh come on dad…"
Taker looked into his daughter's eyes and swore inwardly.Her blue eyes were sparkling with life,he knew that if he would tell her she couldn't come her mood would go down the drain.So he took a deep breath and said:
"I will allow you to come to ringside" Taker said and Valerie smiled "but…"
Valerie stopped smiling and listened.
"Not as my valet,you're gonna be doing commentary" Taker said.
Valerie nodded,she knew she wasn't going to get anything else out of him so she decided to be happy with what she got.Taker kissed Valerie on her forehead and said:
"I'll come get you when it's time"
Valerie nodded again and smiled broadly.Taker ruffled his daughter's hair and chuckled as he walked away.

"Come on dad" Valerie cried as she sat next to Jerry Lawler.
"I can't help but notice that you seem more intent on cheering than commentating" J.R said.
"I didn't choose to commentate tonight but my father didn't leave me any choice.This is the only way I get to be out here" Valerie explained.
The Big Show slammed her father and Valerie winced.
"Come on dad,get up" she cried.
"There's a question I've been meaning to ask you Valerie" the King said.
"And that question would be?" Valerie asked.
"Exactly how long are your legs?" the King asked.
Valerie turned away from the action and to the King.
"Are you for real?" Valerie asked incredulously "you don't ask a woman how long her legs are,that's like asking a woman how much she weighs"
"I know how much you weigh" the King said.
"That's not the point,you don't ask" Valerie said.
Because Valerie had turned her attention to Jerry Lawler,she didn't see the Big Show walking to her.The Big Show touched Valerie's hair causing her to jump.She whirled around and tried to shy away from the Big Show's grasp but his arms were too long.He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her away from the announcer's boot.He ripped the headset from her head and laughed as she tried to get away.
The Big Show was attacked from behind by Taker and was forced to let go of Valerie's hair.Valerie fell down onto the floor and mercifully the Big Show fell down next to her instead of on top of her.Valerie rolled out of the way as Taker took it to the Big Show again.
Valerie watched the rest of the match from ringside even though she knew better.Taker won the match but he was too hurt to fend the Big Show's post match beating off.Big Show knocked Taker out as Valerie watched from ringside.She was scared stiff of the Big Show but she had to do something.Maybe she could distract him long enough for her dad to get up.She forced herself to pull herself together and she stepped onto the apron.
"Oh no Valerie,somebody stop her,somebody needs to stop her" J.R said.
"What is she doing?.Valerie get out of there" the King yelled.
Valerie yelled for the Big Show's attention but he was ignoring her.Valerie stepped into the ring,not knowing she was walking straight into the Big Show's trap.The Big Show whirled around and grabbed Valerie by her hair before she could back away.Valerie tried to kick the Big Show but he simply grabbed her foot and threw her to the other side of the ring.He slowly walked to her as she crawled back.
"You want some of me?.Huh?.You want some of the Big Show,little girl?" Big Show yelled.
Valerie shook her head as the Big Show continued to move closer.
"What is the Big Show implying?" J.R cried "Of course Valerie doesn't want a piece of him"
The Big Show grabbed Valerie by the hair,pulled her up and pulled her with him to the center of the ring.
"The Big Show can't seriously be considering hurting this young lady" J.R said.
"I think he's doing more than considering it" the King cried.
The Big Show put his huge hand around Valerie's throat,the fans booed louder than ever and J.R and Lawler were shocked.
"Oh no,this can't be,somebody help her" J.R cried.
"Who?.The Undertaker's down,Kane's injured,Jeff Hardy isn't here and Triple H,the Rock and Kurt Angle are on Smackdown" the King said.
The camera's went backstage and they revealed that Brock Lesnar was fighting Kevin Nash,X-pac and Booker-T,so he couldn't help Valerie.The Big Show picked Valerie up into the air but didn't chokeslam her.He stood there for a few seconds and then put Valerie down.
"Well thank god,the man has come to his senses" J.R said.
But instead of letting Valerie go,he picked her up in side walk slam position and slammed her down,his weight fully coming down on her body.
"Oh my god" the King said.
"NO,NO,YOU BASTARD!!.How could he do that?.How could this be allowed to happen?.She weighs 115 pounds,he weighs over 500,how could this happen?" J.R yelled.
"Poor Valerie,she never deserved that" the King said.
Then the King saw blood coming from Valerie's mouth and he became very concerned.He stepped away from the announcer's table and got into the ring.The Big Show was walking up the ramp.
"Damn you Big Show,damn you all the way to hell" J.R yelled.
The King kneeled down next to Valerie in the ring and tried to help her.Valerie squirmed in pain and cried,her head felt like it was about to explode,the pain in her abdomen was excruciating and she couldn't see.She coughed up blood as the para-medics came out.The King made room and went back to the announcer's table. He was very worried as he sat down.
"This is scary.She's coughing up large amounts of blood,she's having alot of trouble breathing.I don't know exactly why this is but apparently one of her ribs has punctured her lung…" the King explaned.
"My god" J.R said.
"Or atleast is in some kind of contact with her lung.I don't know,I guess we're gonna have to wait and see" the King said.
Taker was beginning to wake up and when he saw his daughter surrounded by para-medics he very nearly freaked.She was loaded onto a stretcher and taken out of there.Taker accompanied his daughter into the ambulance which was waiting outside.
"Daddy" Valerie cried as she was loaded into the ambulance.
"It's okay babygirl,daddy's here,everything's going to be fine" Taker said.
But the truth was he was scared to death,all he could see was all this blood coming out of his daughter's mouth and he couldn't stop it.Brock came running up to them.
"I'm coming with you" Brock said.
"Like hell you are" Taker growled.
"Don't you fucking argue with me now" Brock snapped.
Taker could see the fury in his eyes but he also saw something else,love,love for his daughter.Taker sat back and Brock joined them in the ambulance.Valerie was taken to the hospital as fast as was humanly possible. Back at the arena the camera's looked at the blood that was left in the ring.
"Valerie's blood is left in the ring,this blood came from her mouth,indicating that she has some major internal bleedings" J.R said solemnly.
The ring was cleaned but the traces of blood were left behind.
"How can a man in his right mind attack a young woman who was only trying to help her father?" J.R asked.
"Like I said before,she's a sweet girl but not very smart when it comes to facing people,you do not face the Big Show when you're her size" the King said seriously.
"What else was she to do?.Her father was beaten before her eyes" J.R argued.
"I'm not making excuses for the Big Show,I'm just saying…" the King said.
"There is no excuse for this.If he wanted her out of the way,he could have obstructed her in some way,tied her to the ring for all I care but not this.He weighs over four times as much as she does for gods sake" J.R spat.
The camera's caught the Big Show walking backstage,the fans booed loudly.The Big Show was obviously happy with what he had done.
"The Big Show showing no remorse for what he has done as he walks backstage.What a cold son of a bitch" J.R snapped.
At the hospital Valerie was taken to the intensive care.Extensive surgery was performed to heal the internal injuries and her breathing problems.Valerie had 5 broken ribs and she was in alot of pain but that wasn't the worst to her.The worst was that she was told she wouldn't be able to wrestle in a while.
A/N : And Valerie has done it again,she seems to be good at getting hurt lol.Please read and review.
