A/N: I'm so sorry that this story is taking so long to get updated. I just can not think of anything to write. The worst part is that I have the end practically done in my head! Lol By the way, get ready for a third part. I think that it just may be continued. This damn thing is gonna be a trilogy! And you know what happens in a trilogy, right? EVERYBODY DIES!! HAHAHA!!! Nah, just playin. Just some Scream humor for ya'll. But assuming that I do do a third story, it'll be shorter than these two. And the song I used in this chapter is "Haunted" by Evanescence. How much do they rock?! Oh and I just got the new Cold CD. Totally awesome. And there I go again, plugging other people's shit. I'm telling ya, they should be payin me for this! I have to tell ya'll a little story. I went to the mall yesterday with a friend of mine, and I pulled her into Hot Topic. Now this girl is a total country small town girl. Ya know the one's I mean. The ones that only listen to the poppy music. Not that there's anything wrong with that, cause there isn't. I mean hell, I'll often listen to the stupid Top 40 stations. But anyways, we walk in there and there's this hottie working there. He's so massively cute! And he said hi to us and shit, ya know, did his job. So we're looking around and she spots a pair of black leather wrist cuffs. She's like, I could hold up my sleeves with these! I turn around to her and go, oh my God. You so totally don't belong in this store! And she's like, no I don't. She really wasn't enjoying the store. It was really bad. The guy must have thought she was nuts for stepping foot in there and me for allowing her to! Lol So then I find this totally awesome Superman shirt. It's black and the Superman logo is in silver. It's awesome! So we leave and go to the ATM so I could get some cash and we start to go back in the store and the guy is out working on the sale rack. He smiles at us and goes, hi.............again. We're like, hey and I grab my shirt and a pair of blue flame shoe laces. They're so totally AWESOME!! Totally match my cell phone cover and now they're on my black boots. So it's pretty cool. But I was so flirting with the guy. Man was he a cutie. I should have grabbed an application to work there! That store has some cuties in it! lol And for those of you who read that fucked up chapter for Connection. God bless you! Lol That thing seriously took me like 2 hours to update. And then once I finally finished, I was so fucked up, I felt as if I was high! And Lindsay and I decided that it makes much better sense if you're high or on a natural high. Anyways, here's the next chapter.................FINALLY!!

****************************

I walked through the arena, saying hello to many of the Smackdown wrestlers. I knew that I had to make a pit stop into the guys' locker room, for old time's sake, before I moved onto the Diva's locker room. The room was practically empty. There were showers running and bags all over the place, but no people. I decided to sit in there and wait for someone. Moments after I had settled on the bench, the door opened and Adam walked in. He immediately dropped his bags when he saw me and wrapped me up in his arms.

"How's the God mother of my son?" he asked with a large smile kissing my cheek.

"I'm great. How are you doing?" I chuckled.

"Great kiddo." He put me down and moved hair off my face. "I'm so glad we'll be on the same show."

"Me too. I can't wait. I'm happy that we're merging back together. I get to spend time with ALL my men now!" I said as I sat on the bench.

"Well, since you're here now, I'll give you your birthday present," he said digging through his duffle bag.

"You didn't have to get me anything. Being God mother to Michael is enough," I smiled.

"I had to get you something. I know you'll love it," he replied handing me a wrapped birthday gift. I shook my head but unwrapped it anyways.

"How the hell did you get this?! This CD isn't supposed to be out for another couple of weeks!" I exclaimed after kissing his cheek thankfully.

"Well, I am friends with the man. I asked Rob if he could get me an advanced copy and he said of course. So here it is. Of course he got me one too," Adam laughed.

"You got this straight from Rob Zombie?!" I said shocked.

"You know that we're friends and shit."

"This is great. Thank him for me," I smiled as I examined the CD cover.

"Open it," Adam nodded at the CD. I tilted my head to the side and did as I was told. On the inside was a note from Rob Zombie himself.

"He signed it for me?!"

"That's his gift to you," Adam laughed. "I knew you'd love it."

"You bet your ass I do!" I hugged him one more time as Brock Lesner walked out of the showers.

"Things seriously never change around here do they? You're still hanging out in the damn men's locker room instead of your own!" he laughed as water dripped off his built body. I swear the man gets bigger everyday.

"With me around, you can bet that I'll be in here!" I laughed. "Do ya'll know where Dad is? Is he at the ring like normal?"

"You didn't know?" Chris Benoit asked as he had caught the end of my question when he walked in the door.

"Know what? Is he okay?" I began to ask with panic obvious in my voice.

"Case, he's fine. It's just that he's not here anymore," Chris said.

"Not here anymore?!" I exclaimed.

"What the crippler here is trying to say is that he's not here right now. He's out for awhile. Ya know how he has elbow problems," Adam explained more clearly.

"Why didn't he tell me they were acting up again?!" I said throwing my hand roughly on my hip.

"Maybe he just didn't want you to worry kid," Brock said.

"Well, I'd better go. I got some things to do before the show tonite. I'll see ya'll later," I said as picked up all my gear, making sure I had the cd in my hand. "Thanks again for the CD Adam. I really appreciate it."

"Not a problem kiddo," he smiled as I left.

I walked down the hall, my arms crossed, as I frowned, trying to think of why Dad wouldn't tell me he was having problems with his elbow again. All of a sudden I heard Shane's voice and I looked up immediately, smiling brightly. If there was one thing I could count on it was always Shane to cheer me up. So as I began to run towards him I noticed he was with some girl. I stopped dead in my tracks and examined this stranger. Her hair was mid-back length light brown. Her eyes were a piercing blue, so blue they looked like they could turn water to ice. Her skin was a warm tan color and flawless, almost porcelain like, but not pale. She had on a pair of low rise flares, much like the ones I used to wear and at times still opt for when not in my ever famous cargos or bondage style pants. Her pale pink shirt was rested on the top of her belly button, just barely showing off her thin stomach. She had a small rose tattoo on her lower stomach that just peeked out over her jeans. I watched carefully as I saw her reach up to kiss his cheek softly, while holding hands. For some reason something in my stomach lurched and I suddenly felt like I had a ball stuck in my throat.

"Casey, Casey, CASEY!" I heard a scream behind me and turned around instantly. Rey was there with open arms, ready to hug me. I smiled slightly and kissed his cheek. "What land were you at, chica? I've been calling your name for like 5 minutes now!"

"Sorry Rey, I just got a little distracted. How are you doing?" I asked as I started walking down the hall with him.

"Fine. I'm feeling great. My ribs have completely healed now, so I'm cleared to wrestle tonite," Rey stated. I knew he was speaking, but I couldn't pay any attention to him. Every once in awhile I'd give him an uh- huh, and look over my shoulder back at Shane and this mystery girl. "So Dom is now recovering from his broken leg. I still can't believe he tried to do a moonsault out of the tree!"

"Huh?" I finally said as we stopped in the hall. I looked at him, tilting my head to the side in confusion and he just shook his head.

"I'll see you later, Chica. Maybe next time you'll be able to pay attention to me, hmm?" he laughed as he walked into a locker room. I sighed and walked back towards the Diva's locker room, noticing that Shane and the girl had left the area.

**********************

I stood in the back with Jeff and Shane, making note to myself to ask him about the girl at some point. I took a sip of water and straightened out my short plaid skirt. I opted for a totally different look. Just to give the Smackdown crowd a heads up for us. The outfit was complete with fishnets, knee high boots, and a ripped up tank top adorned with bobby pins. A tech nodded at me, telling me it was my time to get into position to run in on Torrie and Nidia's match. Jeff kissed my cheek and told me to watch my skirt, telling me to make sure it didn't flash anyone in the crowd. I just laughed at him and responded with, "That was the whole point to wearing this Jeffrey." With a slight playful slap to his cheek, I left him with Shane laughing at him. I stood and waited for my cue, my music to hit, complete with my new Titantron and pyro.

'Long lost words whisper slowly to me

still can't find what keeps me here

when all this time I've been so hollow inside

I know you're still there'

My music began and I took a deep breath, shaking out my crimped hair. My pyro shot out of the stage in what seemed like blue fire as fog began to cloud up my entrance, making it impossible for anyone to tell who I was. Both Nidia and Torrie stopped in mid move as they heard all this and looked towards me.

'Watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

fearing you loving you

I won't let you pull me down'

The fog slowly cleared, revealing me standing on the stage with my hands on my hips, a grin so wide on my face. A look of horror struck their faces as they remembered the chaos I caused the last time I was there. Knowing that that was exactly what was going through their minds, I let out a laugh, similar to the laugh I had then.

'Hunting you I can smell you - alive

your heart pounding in my head

watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

saving me raping me

watching me.'

Walking down the ramp I smiled at them and around to the announcer's desk, the desk that I at one time had called home. I sat down and put on the head phones, waiting for the match to continue.

"Mystic Angel, what are you doing here?!" Michael Cole asked almost as if he feared the answer.

"Cole, be a little bit more polite. We have one of the most beautiful and talented divas sitting with us!" Tazz scolded. I smiled at Tazz and then focused my attention on the match.

"Tazz, when ever she's here, it's never a good thing! Her name may be Angel, but she sure as hell doesn't act like one!" Cole exclaimed as the Torrie controlled the match.

"Cole, I've changed. I'm not that little ball of chaos that I was when I was last here. I'm just what my name says I am, an Angel," I laughed.

"We shall see, we shall see," Cole said before getting back into the match. Just as Torrie was about to pin Nidia, I jumped up from my seat and did Halo's Twist onto the both of them. Laying them out, one on top of the other, which got a massive pop from the males in the crowd. I stood over them and laughed before rolling out of the ring and walking back up the ramp to my music, only to be stopped by Lita.

"Who the hell do you think you are, Angel?! Do you think you can just go around interfering in matches?!" she yelled into a microphone.

"Listen Lita, this has nothing to do with you. And you wanna know who I am?!" I exclaimed as she nodded. "I'm WWE women's champion. I am WWE hardcore champion. And I am soon to be part of the WWE tag team champions this Sunday!"

"Well aren't you little miss cockyness?!" she laughed. "You three will be losing those tag titles this Sunday. And as for your women's title, well that's as good as mine!" I glared at her as she threw the mic down and turned around. I stood rooted to my spot and crossed my arms, before walking to the back.

"Hey Ames!" I called to her, trying to catch up to her.

"Yeah?" she asked stopping to wait for me.

"Earlier I saw Shane walking around with some girl. Who is she?" I asked.

"Don't know, you'd have to ask him yourself," she smiled before speeding off to meet up with Matt in catering.

"If I didn't feel like such a fool, I would!" I said.

*******************************************

"Happy birthday Case!" I walked into mine and Jeff's hotel room in LA, the nite before the Pay Per View. I smiled at the small contingent of people that sat in the room. 'They all must have done this while I was at the gym,' I thought as I looked around the room that had a few blue, purple, and black balloons and a Happy Birthday banner. On the table sat a small round cake complete with candles and presents sat on the floor.

"You guys didn't have to do this!" I laughed throwing my gym bag on the floor.

"It's not everyday that our girl turns 22!" Shannon smiled kissing me lightly on the cheek.

"Thank you," I said graciously. "I definitely think I like these close nit type birthday parties than those huge ones!"

"They're easier to plan too!" Matt exclaimed causing Amy to slap his arm.

"We would have done a big one, but we had no place to do it," Amy smiled.

"This is perfect. Just my close family. Matt, Ames, Shan, Shane, and of course dumbass over there," I joked as Jeff rose from his seat on the bed.

"That's not what you were calling me last nite," he smirked. My eyes grew wide in shock before I pushed him back on the bed, right on Shannon's lap.

"I love ya man. Really I do. But not this way. And if you don't get off me soon, there's going to be a Smackdown right here in this room!" Shannon laughed.

"So what'd ya'll get me?!" I asked excitedly as they started to throw gifts at me. I had gotten some clothes from Amy and Matt, mostly from Amy cause Matt's a loser when it comes to clothes. Shannon had given me a new pair of wrestling boots, which were identical to my original pair. Then came Shane's gift. He had gotten me a Titan's fleece blanket. I just laughed.

"Hey, I had to give you one so that you wouldn't complain about using mine at the game," he smiled.

"Game? What game?" I questioned as a ticket fell out of the blanket.

"Redskins vs Titans. We've got tickets baby. Just you and me, on the 50 yard line, battling for who kicks ass more!" he laughed.

"And of course the Titans will be victorious!" I said.

"In your dreams!" he exclaimed.

"And I got you this. It's not much, but I thought you might enjoy it," Jeff smiled nervously. I unwrapped a beautiful painting of tribal designs in blues, purples, blacks, and silvers, mainly my colors.

"It's beautiful, Jeff," I smiled.

"You really like it?" he asked folding his hands in front of him.

"Yeah, I do. Did you do it?" I asked.

"Yeah, I've been working on it whenever possible," he laughed.

"Thank you," I kissed him tenderly. "Thank you all!"

"AWE!!" They all exclaimed as we got hooked into a massive group hug.

"I love you guys!" Shannon joked with fake tears and the whole deal. We cracked up at him and started in on the cake.
