Raw : 22-07-2002.

"Ah,Valerie.So nice to see you again"

Valerie turned around and sighed.Eric Bischoff was advancing towards her,as always there was a camera right behind him which often made Valerie wonder if his politeness wasn't just an act.She wasn't too happy with him fawning all over her but she decided to be civil about it.

"Eric,how are you?" Valerie asked.

"Very well thank you.If I may say so you look absolutely stunning" Eric said with a big smile on his face.

Valerie pulled an eyebrow up and looked down at herself.In truth she did look stunning.Her long red hair was curled and looked like silk,her long legs were covered by a pair of white jeans and she was wearing a  white cashmere short top.

"Thank you Eric" Valerie said.

Eric nodded and said:

"I noticed earlier you had an interest in the chess board that graces the downstairs area,do you play chess?"

"No but I'd like to,I've been trying to get my father to teach me but so far he has refused to do so" Valerie said.

"I see.I myself am quite skilled in the art of chess.Not to mention…" Eric moved closer to Valerie "...certain other arts as well"

"What?" the King cried.

"I don't believe that" J.R said.

Eric smirked at Valerie as she pulled her lip up in disgust.

"Eric Bischoff is making a pass at Valerie Calloway" J.R cried incredulously.

Valerie suddenly smiled and asked:

"Is that so,my vertically challenged friend?"

The entire crowd laughed and cheered and Lawler and Ross laughed as well.

"And what arts are you talking about?" Valerie added.

Eric Bischoff took a step back,looked angry for a second but then smiled.

"You've once again reminded me why I like you so much.You have a vocabulary and a sense of humor like no other I know of.I will over look your comment this once because I like you but next time…I may have to be a little rough on you"

Bischoff smirked and walked away.

"Garrulous dolt" Valerie spat,triggering the crowd to chant her name.

The camera left and Valerie made her way to the canteen.She sat down,ignoring all the wrestlers who were staring at her and leaned back in her seat.She had a tag team match against Molly Holly and William Regal that night and she still didn't have a tag team partner.

Brock had volunteered but Heyman had managed to talk him out of it,damn that bastard.She wanted to ask her father but she didn't know if that was such a good idea considering all the stuff that had been going on.He'd probably say yes but how much longer was she going to have to run to her daddy for help.

And so she was stumped.Suddenly Valerie realized she had overlooked one person,she had managed to forget one of her best friends.She mentally hit herself and got up,she walked out of the canteen and into the hallway.

***

Valerie smiled as she walked out to the ring.Molly and William were already in the ring and they looked smug. They probably thought she didn't have a tag team partner or maybe they thought she did but her partner wouldn't be that big of a deal.Valerie chuckled as she stepped into the ring.We'll see about that.

Valerie enjoyed seeing the looks on Molly and William's faces when they heard the music."It's time to play the Game" roared through the speakers and William looked about ready to die.Triple H came out and put on his show for the fans.He smiled at Valerie and she smiled back.

Valerie had managed to get Triple H to agree to the match on one condition,she would not wrestle William Regal at any time,only Molly.Triple H didn't want Valerie to get hurt so he made her agree to that.Valerie was fine with it as long as she got to face Molly.

Triple H systematically took Regal apart and Valerie loved it.In the end William managed to tag Molly in and Triple H tagged Valerie in.Molly really took it to Valerie but in the end Valerie came out on top.Valerie pinned Molly after hitting her with the Last Ride and the ref raised her arm in victory.

Triple H joined her in the ring and raised her arm but their celebration was cut short when William tried to hit Valerie.Triple H caught William's arm only to be knocked down with the brass knuckles himself.Valerie swore loudly as Molly and William left the ring and bent over Triple H to see if he was okay.

"Hunter,are you okay?" Valerie asked.

That's when Valerie realized that Triple H was unconscious.She was going to have to get him out of here,she was going to get him to a doctor and then he'd be alright.Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a stinging sensation in the back of her head.Someone pulled her up by her hair,it all went too fast for Valerie to see who it was but when she felt the Cross Face being slapped on she knew who it was.Chris Benoit.

She screamed in pain as she tapped furiously,there was no way in hell she could stand the effects of a move like that.There seemed to be no end to the pain when suddenly the hold was released.Tears were streaming down her face as she tried to pick herself off the mat while behind her,there was a fight going on.

Benoit had been pulled away from Valerie by the Rock but Eddy Guerrero had come to his aid.Eddy fought the Rock while Benoit turned back to Valerie.Benoit kicked Valerie in the back to send her flat on her stomach again and once again applied the Cross Face.It was only on for a few seconds this time when he was once again torn away from Valerie.This time he stayed away as Brock Lesnar took care of Benoit and Guerrero.

After the Rock checked on her Brock carried Valerie down the ramp and to the backstage area.When they got there a camera was waiting for them and Valerie smiled painfully.Her back and ribs were killing her,not to mention her neck and head.

"You know,as much as I love being carried by you,I really should try to stand to see if I can" Valerie said.

Brock put Valerie down gently and was looking at her with a concerned look on his face as she walked next to him,favoring her neck.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Brock asked worriedly.

"Positive,I'm a little sore that's all" Valerie said.

Brock didn't look convinced and Valerie smiled at him.She hugged him and the crowd loved it.They kissed and the crowd went wild.

***

Brock smirked as he watched his opponent Tommy Dreamer walk to the ring for their Singapore Cane Match, this was going to be easy.His smirk faded when he saw his girlfriend and manager arguing on the outside.

"You need to back off Heyman" Valerie yelled.

"You got no business being out here,you're not his manager,I am" Heyman yelled back.

Brock walked over to them and leaned down over the ropes to break them apart but before he could say anything Dreamer attacked him from behind with the cane and sent him scurrying to the outside.

"Now look what you did" Valerie yelled at Heyman before stomping over to Brock.

"This isn't working" Brock said as Heyman approached them.

Valerie's face fell as she heard that and Brock felt a pang in his heart.He hadn't meant to hurt her feelings.

"What are you saying?" Valerie asked.

"I'm saying putting you and Paul next to eachother is asking for trouble"

Heyman smirked,Brock was going to send the little hussy back to the kitchen.

"Why don't you stand on the other side of the ring?" Brock asked Heyman.

Heyman sputtered and gurgled as he tried to think of a response.Valerie smirked and pointed to the other side of the ring.Heyman reluctantly walked around the ring and away from Valerie.Brock briefly kissed Valerie and went back into the ring.

Brock immediately took it to Dreamer,leveling him with a belly to belly overhead suplex that shook the ring.Brock stomped away on Dreamer before violently sending him into the corner.Valerie cheered as Brock charged Dreamer,hitting him full force,whipping him into the other corner and doing the same thing there.

Brock hit Dreamer with a backbreaker and another Irish Whip followed by a charge but this time Dreamer moved.Valerie yelped as Dreamer hit Brock with a DDT and went for the cover.

1...2...but Brock kicked out.

"Come on,Brock" Valerie yelled.

Dreamer nailed Brock in the back with the cane but Brock blocks the second shot,picked Dreamer up and hit him with the F5 to get the win.Valerie cheered and jumped up and down until the Undertaker sneaked in and hit Brock with another Singapore Cane.Valerie quickly entered the ring and when Taker went to hit Brock with the stick again,she grabbed it and tore it from his hands.

Taker stared at his daughter for a few seconds and she stared back.Just for a second it looked as though he would push her aside and continue his attack.Instead he retreated to the backstage area as Valerie kneeled down beside her boyfriend.

"I don't get this at all.The Undertaker attacked the man that makes his daughter happy,the man that makes her feel good about herself" J.R cried.

"Well,father's don't usually like their daughter's choice of men and the Undertaker is no exception,just look at what happened with Jeff Hardy" the King said.

Valerie looked at her father as he walked back up the ramp and shook her head,he was just never going to stop.

***

Later that night it became apparent that Brock would be going to Smackdown.Valerie didn't understand,she didn't know where Brock was but she decided to give him a call.

"Why are you going to Smackdown?" Valerie asked as soon as Brock picked up the phone.

"Valerie?" Brock asked.

"No it's the easter bunny" she snapped "Yes it's Valerie,why are you going to Smackdown?"

"It wasn't my choice" Brock said.

"No?.Who's choice was it?.Heyman's perhaps?" Valerie asked angrily.

"Yes" Brock said.

"And what was it he did to make you agree to that Brock?.Did he threaten to hurt you?" Valerie asked.

"You don't need to be sarcastic" Brock said.

"Well as a matter of fact I do need to be sarcastic,here I am in the middle of full fledged warfare against my own father over you and you just run off to Smackdown" Valerie ranted.

"I'm sorry..."

"No you're not,if you'd be sorry you wouldn't have done this.But go on if you must,go to Smackdown,party on with your manager and new boss but don't think I'm partying with you" Valerie yelled.

Valerie hung up the phone and Brock sighed.That was the last thing he had wanted,he wanted to ask Valerie to go to Smackdown as well but she hadn't given him the chance.Heyman and Stephanie were talking across from him,he didn't know what they were talking about and frankly he didn't care.He had other things to worry about,like talking to his girlfriend as fast as possible or she might never want to talk to him again.
