I'm back with my behind the scenes story, since you guys seem to like it so much! Thanks to everybody for their wonderful reviews and keep them coming!
*~*~*~*
"You know, it's been almost two weeks since we did that to the guys." Stacy mused out loud as she sat next to Torrie on the bus which was on its way to the next house show. "I mean, you would've figured they'd have done something by now."
Torrie nodded her head in agreement. "Thanks, you got me a little bit worried now."
"If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it." Stacy laughed with a wave of her hand. "They all stand a better chance at winning the 'Babe of the Year' competition then they do getting us back." She put her hands behind her head and leaned back. "We're the masters and they don't stand a chance and their fragile male egos just can't seem to accept that fact."
A couple of rows a head of them, Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho gave each other knowing looks and Jericho turned back to the magazine he was reading while Rey had his head bent down, typing something into his cell phone. The girl's guards were down and everything was going to plan.
'They don't expect a thing. It's gonna be sooo simple' Rey finished typing in and sent out his message to all the rest of the guys that had been in that one locker room for what seemed like forever, all those weeks ago. He was still sore from being stuck on top of the lockers, trying to get as far away from Rikishi and Albert as he could. He visibly shuddered as the thought ran through his mind and looked down at one of the replies. 'So we have it all scheduled for 2nite? They won't know what hit 'em, it's so true! – Kurt' 'Wouldn't it be great if they got so scared when it happens that they fell or something and got really hurt? – Kane''No man, we're not trying to kill them—just trying to get them back for making us think the door was locked the whole time, therefore making us stay in there when we so didn't have to. It almost killed us; it, of course, referring to a mixture of Keesh's ass and A's back hair! lol – Edge'
'I am so tired of you guys and how you keep making fun of my ass! It's like you're obsessed w/ it or something! – Rikishi'
'Um, definitely not the case there big boy, stop flattering yourself. – Jericho'
Rey shook his head as he kept track of the bickering in amusement and set his phone down on the seat next to him, knowing that he'd have a great laugh when he woke up and promptly fell asleep.
Lita stared down at her cell phone with her eyebrows raised as she read the conversation that was going on and covered her mouth to keep from laughing and nudged Trish in the shoulder to get her attention.
Trish managed to tear her glance away from the catalog and looked over to where her friend was pointing. "So they think they're going to be able to pull something on us tonight then?" She guessed dryly, shaking her head. "Oh Rey Rey!" She called out in a singsong voice, immediately catching the attention of the Cruiserweight as he woke up.
"Yea?" He yelled back warily.
Lita handed her the phone and Trish held it up for everyone to see. "Next time you and your cohorts decided to communicate via cell phone, make sure you don't send it to Lita."
All the guys has stopped what they were doing and glared at Rey, who had slouched down as low as he could in his seat. Torrie and Stacy were laughing and Stephanie had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing so it'd look like she was remaining completely unbiased.
"It's alright man." Jericho assured him quietly. "They still have no idea what's going on so it's all good."
Rey nodded and held the magazine up so it would cover his face; reluctant to show Trish how embarrassed she just made him in front of all the other guys.
About fifteen minutes later the bus came to a stop and Lita and Trish were the first two off, squinting against the bright light. They got their bags from the compartment and waited for Torrie and Stacy to get off the bus.
"Kurt stop talking to me." Stacy was saying, holding up her hand to silence the wrestler. "I don't want to hear it."
"You'll regret it." Kurt mumbled in response.
Torrie spun around on her heel and glared at him. "Give it up Kurt, we're untrickable. So you guys can just stop trying."

Tap
Trish's eyes flew open at the one simple sound and she heard her heart beating against the complete stillness of the darkened room. She looked towards the window and cursed the hotel silently for building balconies. It was just your imagination Stratus, she scolded herself, willing herself to go back to sleep. She pulled the covers closer to her chin and had just began dreaming about winning the Woman's Championship back when she heard the same noise, only louder then before.
Sitting straight up in bed, she glanced over at the window and jumped up when she thought she saw shadows out on the balcony. Without a second guess, she threw back the covers and sprinted from the room towards Stacy's room. She pounded quietly on the door and immediately hoped this wasn't one of the nights Stacy could sleep through a nuclear bomb.
It wasn't and about twenty seconds later Stacy pulled the door open, pulling her blue silk robe tighter around her. Her eyes got wide when she took in her friend's shaken up appearance. "Trish what happened? Are you alright?"
"Yeah." She replied slowly, suddenly realizing how absurd her situation was. "I heard something outside my window and I guess I got a little spooked so I came into your room." Even saying it out loud, she couldn't believe how pathetic she sounded.
Evidently Stacy was thinking the same thing by the look on her face. "You wanna sleep here tonight? You can use the extra bed. I mean, I can move all my shit off and you can sleep there if it makes you feel any better."
"You wouldn't mind?" Trish asked and Stacy shook her head in response and held the door open for her friend. Stacy flipped on the lights and began shoving her stuff onto the floor unceremoniously and Trish walked over to the sliding glass door and peered out through the curtains.
And there was nothing.
"God I'm so pathetic." She apprehended herself loudly, causing Stacy to jump. "It was just a little noise and I come off thinking it's like Hannibal Lector or somebody."
"So you're a bit jumpy tonight. There's nothing wrong with that." Stacy replied, getting back into bed. "Just go to bed and you'll feel better in the morning. I promise." She assured, and watched her friend get into the empty bed. "Night Trish." She said before reaching over and flipping off the light, sending the room into darkness again.
Tap Tap
Trish's eyes flew open for the second time that night when she heard the sound louder and more forceful then before. She looked over in her bed and came to the quick conclusion that Stacy heard it too, because she was sitting straight up in the bed, the covers clutched around her chest.
"What was that?" She whispered fiercely, her words were directed towards Trish but her attention was still on the window.
"The same noise I heard in my room!" Trish exclaimed quietly. She slipped out of bed and grabbed Stacy's hand as she did the same. They walked over quietly to the window and were about to pull open the curtain when there was a loud banging on the door.
Both girls jumped about a mile in the air and Trish put her hand over her heart, trying to slow down the rapid beating.
"I'm going to have a heart attack if this keeps up." Stacy said, pulling open the door.
Lita and Torrie rushed in and pushed the door shut.
"There were noises-"
"And we saw shadows of someone-"
"And then it sounded like it was coming closer-"
Trish stopped their onslaught of conversation as she held up her hand. "We heard the same thing in here." She revealed.
The four girls were silent and white-faced for a few minutes until a look of understanding crossed their faces one by one.
"It's the guys." Torrie said quietly. "I bet you guys anything they're behind it."
Before she finished her thought, Lita had already jumped off the bed and strode to the door, yanking it open. The other three raced after her and watched as she pounded on the first door she reached. She waited for the person to answer and had her hands on her hips, her left foot tapping impatiently.
After a few minutes and quite a bit of grumbling, the door was pulled open to reveal an exhausted looking Edge whose eyes weren't even open the full way. "Lita? What are you doing here?" He asked, squinting at her as his eyes adjusted to the lighting out in the hallway.
"Why don't you tell me?" She demanded, poking her index finger into his chest. "You guys thought it'd be funny to have someone creeping outside our rooms so we got scared out of her minds? That's pathetic you have to result to scaring women at night Edge. Very pathetic."
"First off, I have no idea what you're even talking about and secondly, if you all get so jumpy about noises you hear in the middle of the night, then how do you have the guts to go out in front of millions of people in your underwear?"
"That's different." Stacy whispered fiercely, not wanting to wake anybody up as she went to stand next to her friend. "And you have no right to say something like that."
"Look." Edge snapped, his patience wearing thin. "I don't know about you four, but I had a long day. So if you don't get away from my room in one minute, I'm calling security." He gave them one last look before slamming the door in their faces.
Stacy raised her hand to knock again but was stopped by Trish, who merely shook her head and began walking back to her room.
"C'mon guys, we can all sleep in here and then tomorrow morning we can all laugh at how childish this all is." She said, opening up her door slowly.
"I'll be right there; I gotta go get some pillows." Lita announced, jogging back to her room. She picked up the pillows quick enough and happened to look out the sliding door when a dark figure crept quickly past, paying no attention to her. She watched in horror as it stopped in front of a door a couple rooms door, which she realized was Trish's, and pulled a key from its pocket. It slowly opened the door and before she could see anything else, Lita had dropped the pillows and sprinted out of her room and to Trish's.
She pushed the door completely open and stood frozen to the floor when she saw what was standing in front of the other three.
Its entire body was covered by a ratty looking, dark brown shawl that had seen better days, a jagged, dark colored slit was were the mouth should have been, there was no nose, and instead of eyes were two, bright, chilling white flecks that kept moving from side to side. It started lifting a bony hand to Torrie, and all four of them starts screaming when a second and third appeared behind the first. Lita rushed forward and pulled them back until they were huddled with their backs pressed against the walls.
The creatures were gliding towards them and making low clicking noises as if to communicate. The girls were all trembling violently as they closed in on them and made a small semi-circle around them. Trish started whimpering and Torrie was whispering something shakily under her breath, which sounded unmistakably like a prayer.
Lita let out a small shriek as one of them put their fingertips on her back and Stacy's hands were covering her face, believing that if she couldn't see them, they weren't actually there.
The three things pulled away from the girls and started communicating amongst themselves; the low clicks and hums sending chills up and down Trish's spine.
"Don't hurt me." Torrie said, her voice shaking. "I'll do anything you want just don't hurt me and don't do anything to my friends."
The first figure turned to Torrie and cocked his head and she nodded eagerly. It looked at the other two—and started laughing hysterically. One by one the pulled of their masks to reveal Kurt, Jericho, and Rey.
"You guys should have seen your faces!" Jericho crowed. "I mean it was so—" He got cut off when Rey elbowed him swiftly in the ribs and motioned to the girls. "What? Oh." The three guys grew immediately silent and actually saw the girl's faces in a new light.
Stacy had tears running down both of her cheeks and her knees were pulled up to her chest. Trish was visibly shaking and Torrie's arms were around her, they both looked frozen to the spot and Lita was curled up in a fetal position, pressing herself as best she could against the corner.
"Guys, we're sorry." Kurt said slowly, mentally kicking himself for doing something this extreme.
One by one the girls got up and backed silently out of the room until only Trish was left, her arms still hugging herself as if she still felt the need to protect herself.
"We didn't mean for you guys to get this freaked out." Rey spoke up nervously.
"So what did you mean to do?" Trish asked, her voice wavering and tears reappearing at the corner of her eyes. "What we did was not nearly as mean as this. I think you scarred Stacy for life. You all should be ashamed of yourself." She reprimanded. "And now you all think of yourselves as bigger men for being able to scare us out of our minds?" She added when none of them spoke up.
"We didn't think you guys would get this frightened." Kurt said finally.
"You thought wrong." Trish snapped and he flinched. "We were just having fun and thought you would do the same; not go to some stupid extreme like to torment us. I hope you're proud of yourselves." She added quietly in a pained voice, turning around and slowly walking out with her arms still around herself, her head down and sniffling. She shut the door behind her and looked up at the three who were waiting with expectant looks on their faces.
"How'd it go?" Torrie asked curiously and Trish broke out into a grin.
"I made those boys feel lower then dirt." She said proudly and they all started laughing.
"You know, I do have to give them credit for that though." Torrie commented as they were walking back to their rooms. "It was very creative and well set-up. I bet you Edge was in on it too."
Lita nodded in agreement. "I was really scared at one point. They did do a good job."
They all went back to their own rooms until it was only Lita and Stacy left.
"Don't worry Stace." She started to assure the blonde who was still sniffling quietly. "We'll get them back even better for what they did." She promised and Stacy smiled.
"You bet we are."
