Raw : 27-05-2002 continuation.
Valerie desperately tried to get away as the Big Show approached her but it was no use.Valerie whimpered as the Big Show's hand closed around her throat.She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and could vaguely hear the Big Show talk.
"Maybe now you'll take me a little bit more seriously" the Big Show said,lightly kissing Valerie on the lips.
Then mercifully everything went black.
***
"Look Trish,I really need to get back to my lockerroom.Valerie's probably waiting for me" Lita said.
"Oh sure,tell firebird I said hi" Trish said before walking away.
"Sister golden hair" Lita grumbled at Trish's retreating back.
Lita knew it was childish to make such a big deal out of a nickname but who was Trish to give Valerie a nickname already.Lita shook her head as she walked on and frowned as she arrived at her lockerroom,the door was open.
"Val?" Lita called,stepping into the room.
Lita gasped when she saw Valerie laying on the floor,unconscious.She squealed as she saw blood coming from Valerie's mouth.Her squeal attracted the attention of a security guard who immediately called an ambulance when he saw what was going on.
Lita cried as she sat next to Valerie,waiting for the ambulance.Lita didn't even notice when Jeff and Matt came into the room,she didn't feel it when Taker roughly pulled her away from Valerie,all she knew was that Valerie was hurt.Matt comforted Lita while Valerie was taken to the ambulance on a stretcher for the second time.Jeff was forced to stay at the building while Taker went with Valerie in the ambulance.
Taker couldn't believe it,he hadn't even known she was there until he heard a security guard mention her name. She wasn't suppose to be there,she should never have been there,why was she there?.He didn't find the answer,all he found was more questions.
Wednesday : 29-05-2002
Sara sighed as she looked at Valerie sitting next to her.They were at the ranch and Jim Ross was on the verge of interviewing Valerie.Valerie caught Sara looking at her and smiled.
"What's up?"
"Nothing,I was just thinking" Sara said.
"Remember not to strain yourself too much,you are pregnant" Valerie joked.
Sara playfully ruffled Valerie's hair and they both laughed.Sara looked down at her slight belly,she was only three months pregnant but it was already very obvious.Valerie had been thrilled when she heard,she was going to have a baby brother or baby sister and she loved it.
Valerie wasn't worried about the interview,J.R had assured her that he would only be asking basic questions and that she didn't have to answer them if she didn't want to. The camera was turned on and J.R started the interview.
"Sara,Valerie,I wanna thank you both for inviting me into your home.Valerie,the main question on everybody's mind right now is how are you?.How are you feeling?" J.R asked.
"I'm doing okay,my ribs were reinjured and they are still very painful but the internal injuries that I suffered at the hands of the Big Show are practically gone and my lungs are no longer an issue,so..." Valerie said.
"What was going through your mind when you stepped into the ring with the Big Show?" J.R asked.
"My intention when I got into the ring wasn't to fight the Big Show,I'd be nuts if that would be the case,my intention was to distract him long enough for my father to get up and defend himself,I don't why I thought I'd be able to pull it off but I was quite desperate" Valerie said.
"What was your father's response to you getting into the ring on Raw?" J.R asked.
"He was furious,I thought the scoldings I had gotten before were bad but they were nothing compared to the scolding I got out of this.I guess what hurt the most about the whole thing is that he was very disappointed in me,he said he thought I knew better than that" Valerie said,with a certain amount of pain in her voice.
"Surely he knows you were trying to help him?" J.R asked.
"He does know and he does appreciate it but the consequences of some of my actions are too big for him to accept it,he doesn't want me to get hurt,he'd rather get hurt himself,that's why he always tells me to stay out of it" Valerie said "Wauw,that doesn't really vouch for my intelligence does it?"
"I think you are a very intelligent young lady,I also think drastic times call for drastic measures.You saw your father getting beaten and you weren't going to stand for it,I admire that alot" J.R said.
"Thank you" Valerie said.
"Don't get me wrong,I wish something like that never would have happened to you but I understand where you're coming from.Can you tell us what happened when you were attacked by the Big Show the second time?" J.R asked.
"He came into Lita's lockerroom,I still don't know how he knew I was in there,and he grabbed me by the neck. I'm not entirely sure what happened after that but I do know that he punched me in my stomach several times. Everything went black almost immediately so I couldn't see but I didn't have to,I could feel my ribs breaking all over again and I guess he noticed it too because he let go right after that and dropped me to the ground.He said something to me but I don't quite remember what he said.I guess it wasn't important anyway" Valerie said.
"I hardly think it was" J.R agreed.
"I just wanna say something to the Big Show if I may" Valerie said.
"Yes of course" J.R said.
"Big Show,if you're watching this and you probably are,I just want you to know that you can side walk slam me,breaking all my ribs and laugh at me for it,you can attack me again,reinjure my ribs and laugh at me for it but you have always been and will always be nothing but a joke,so you can laugh at me all you want to but I will always be laughing harder" Valerie said.
Valerie smiled and waved at the camera as the interview came to an end.The camera was turned off and Valerie took a deep breath.
"Thank you for your time,it's good to see you still have your sense of humor at times like these" J.R said.
"Thank you J.R" Valerie said.
J.R said goodbye to both Valerie and Sara and left along with the camera crew.Valerie sighed and smiled as she turned to Sara.Valerie stopped smiling when she saw the frown on Sara's face.
"What?" Valerie asked.
"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Sara asked.
"Am I sure what was a good idea?" Valerie asked.
"Talking to the Big Show like that" Sara said.
"I don't know,I'm not backing down that's for sure" Valerie said.
"You should be" Sara said.
"But I'm not,the Big Show still scares me but no one uses me as a doormat" Valerie said.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised,you're a Texan and a Calloway,that means double trouble" Sara said.
"Hey" Valerie said but she was smiling.
Raw : 03-06-2002.
"Oh my god" Valerie cried.
On the monitor Steve Austin had just urinated on Arn Anderson.Valerie scrunched up her face but couldn't help but laugh.Poor guy,Valerie thought still laughing.Valerie whirled around when someone entered the room and smiled when she saw her uncle coming in with two cups of coffee.
Kane had seen what the Big Show had done to Valerie and he had been furious.After the second attack by the Big Show,Kane had decided that though he wasn't fit to wrestle he was certainly fit to protect his niece.He smiled as he saw her sitting there and handed her the coffee.
"One large cup of chocolate raspberry coffee" Kane said with a disgusted look on his face.
"What's with the face?" Valerie asked.
"How can you drink that stuff?" Kane asked.
"You've never even tried it,it's delicious I can assure you" Valerie said.
Kane didn't seem convinced so Valerie handed him the cup and he took a sip.Kane shook his head and Valerie sighed.She took the cup back and said:
"You don't know what good coffee is"
"You stick to your coffee,I'll stick to mine" Kane said.
Valerie smiled and turned back to the monitor.Steven Richards was taking on Bradshaw.Valerie didn't like Bradshaw much since he was always leering at her and making sexistic comments but she hated Steven Richards,so if she was rooting for anybody she was rooting for Bradshaw.Bradshaw beat Steven Richards, Justin Credible and Crash Holly to become the Hardcore Champion.
Next up was X-pac vs Goldust for a spot in the N.W.O.Valerie didn't care who won,she dislike X-pac but she didn't know Goldust so it didn't matter.Damn N.W.O.
After the match several clips came on,including one featuring Matt and Jeff.Jeff talked about how they weren't living for the moment anymore and how they weren't extreme.Matt asked him what he was up to and Jeff said he would see.Kane noted the tense expression on Valerie's face and got up from where he was sitting.He sat down next to her and put one of his massive arms around her shoulders.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Kane asked.
"No...yes...I'm just so confused right now,one moment he tells me he wants me,the next I'm ugly and now..." Valerie said,not finishing the sentence.
"Jeff Hardy is a nutcase if he thinks you're ugly but I don't think he does" Kane said.
"I know,I know,he was angry"
"He was an idiot but call it what you want" Kane said.
Valerie smiled at that.
"What do I do now?" Valerie asked.
"What you need to do is to find out how you feel about him,not to mention how you feel about Brock Lesnar" Kane said.
"You know about that?" Valerie asked.
"Muchkin,everybody knows about that" Kane said.
"Oh" Valerie said.
Kane ruffled Valerie's hair and kissed her on the side of the head.Valerie smiled and looked at the monitor again.It was time for Trish's bra and panties match against Terri.Trish beat Terri but was attacked by Molly after the match.Molly ended up at the short end of the stick when Trish knocked Molly out.Valerie smirked.
"Larger than life my ass" Valerie muttered.
"What was that,munchkin?" Kane asked.
"Oh nothing" Valerie said.
Trish walked up the ramp and Valerie got up.
"I'm gonna go talk to Trish" Valerie said.
"I don't know about that,munchkin" Kane said.
"Don't worry,the Big Show isn't even here" Valerie said,as she walked out.
Valerie walked into the hallway and saw Trish walking to her.
"Hey firebird" Trish said,smiling.
"Hey Trish" Valerie said.
"Did you see my match?" Trish asked.
"It's never much of a match when you're facing Terri but yeah I saw" Valerie said.
"I got Molly good didn't I?"
Valerie giggled and said:
"You sure did"
"Trish Stratus,you miserable tart,you ought to be ashamed of yourself" a British accented voice called through the hallway.
"You...you...prostitute" Molly screeched causing both Valerie and Trish to cringe and giggle at the same time.
William and Molly reached the two women standing in the hallway and William looked at Trish.
"You're a foul young lady for presenting yourself in this manner" William spat.
"Is she truly?.You'd think when you see something foul you wont wanna look at it anymore,you've glanced at her about 20 times already" Valerie cut in.
William turned to Valerie and said:
"I would have expected better of you Valerie but I was obviously mistaking.Come miss Holly,we shall leave these two by themselves"
William and Molly left and Valerie and Trish burst into a fit of giggles.
"Those two are priceless" Valerie said.
Trish and Valerie both let out a deep sigh.
"Well,I better go" Trish said "I can't walk around like this forever"
"Okay,bye Trish" Valerie said.
"Bye firebird" Trish said.
Valerie walked into the hallway and headed for her lockerroom.Along the way she passed a small cubborn,a cubborn with a pile of paper on top of it,a cubborn she failed to notice,she walked straight into it and everything on it fell off.
Valerie managed to catch some of it but the rest was sent sprawling all over the floor.Valerie swore loudly as she put what she had in her hands back on the cubborn and kneeled down to pick the rest up.While she was doing this she was approached by Paul Heyman,followed closely by a camera.
"Valerie,Valerie,Valerie,you never cease to amaze me" Heyman said in a soft voice.
"And why is that?" Valerie asked while she put the rest of the paper on the cubborn.
"I think you know why" Heyman said,still in the same voice.
Valerie finished what she was doing and turned to Heyman.
"As much as I love guessing games,I really wish you'd get to the point" Valerie said.
"You and Brock Lesnar,that's my point" Heyman hissed.
"Oh dear,jealous are you?" Valerie asked.
"Worried is more like it.You're up to something,you have some kind of control over Brock,I mean why else would he pick you over me?" Heyman asked.
Valerie let out a short laugh and then turned serious.
"Let's see,you're fat,hairy and smelly…"
The fans cheered as Heyman looked away annoyed.
"What?" the King cried laughing.
"Mr Heyman is being put in his place" J.R said.
"I'm curvy,smooth and I smell good,you do the maths" Valerie said,displaying a confidence she didn't really have.
The fans cheered and whistled as Heyman said:
"I was referring to the fact that he seems to have chosen your incompetent advice over my sheer brilliance"
"Oh please" Valerie said.
"Are you claiming otherwise?" Heyman asked.
"Well yes,as a matter of fact I am.You're not brilliant,you're nothing but a leech.You suck the life out of anything you can get your hands on and if I can convince Brock to stay away from you than don't think I wont" Valerie said.
"Are you suggesting that he should set out on his own?" Heyman sneered.
"I'm suggesting that you shouldn't be his manager" Valerie retorted.
"Oh and I suppose you would make a better manager" Heyman said.
"Hey I didn't say that you dogsnot…" Valerie snapped as her hereditary temper flared.
Heyman looked furious but Valerie ignored it.
"…but maybe I would.At least I paid my dues"
"You paid nothing,your father's the one that paid your dues".
"I got into the middle of the ring and I went up against some of the biggest and baddest guys in the business and no…I didn't win all of those matches and during the ones I did win I had help but at least I tried.What have you ever done in the middle of the ring except for whining and crying?" Valerie asked.
"You really don't seem to realize who you're talking to.I'm not just Paul E. Heyman,I'm Paul E.Dangerously" Heyman said in a menacing voice,moving his really close as he said that last word.
Valerie was unfazed and said:
"Yeah,200 pounds ago"
The fans cheered and laughed as did Lawler and Ross.
"You'll be eating those words soon enough Calloway.You wait and see" Heyman said.
Suddenly the Undertaker came over and he stood behind Paul Heyman.Heyman could see in Valerie's eyes that he was there and he slowly turned around.He looked scared as he left in a hurry.Valerie smiled at her father and said:
"Hi dad"
Undertaker smiled and left after nodding at her.Just before he was gone she heard him say:
"200 pounds ago"
Undertaker chuckled and Valerie smiled.Valerie than knew that things were cool between them which was something she had been worried about.She looked at her father as he disappeared out of sight and sighed.It was time to go back to the lockerroom,her uncle was probably getting worried.
Valerie turned around to walk away when she found herself face to face with a man about two inches smaller than her.She had never met him but she knew who he was.Valerie went to sidestep him but he wouldn't let her,he stared at her in an eerie way.
"What do you want?" Valerie asked,severely irritated.
He didn't answer,he just stared at her.
"If you don't have anything to say just let me pass" Valerie said.
Valerie went to sidestep him again but this time he grabbed her arm.She yelped as he gave her upperarm a vicious squeeze.
"Benoit" Kane's rumbling voice called.
Chris Benoit let go of Valerie's arm and smirked at her before walking off.Kane walked to Valerie and put his arms around her.
"Are you alright munchkin?" Kane asked.
Valerie smiled and nodded.She was fine but if Chris Benoit had decided to make her his target,how much longer would she be fine?.She forced herself to shrug it off as she and her uncle walked back to her lockerroom.Her father was set to face Tommy Dreamer and they were just in time to see it.
Taker defeated Dreamer and Valerie almost threw up when he threw Dreamer's vomit all over Dreamer.Valerie's eyes widened as she saw Jeff Hardy kicking her father into Tommy Dreamer and into the vomit.Valerie's expression turned sad as she saw the enraged look on her father's face,someone was going to pay and that person was going to pay dearly.
