Sticking Together

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the names or likenesses of World Wrestling Entertainment and quite frankly don't have the money to say that I do.
Hello there, folks. Some people may have read some of my other fiction (if I'm on your author alert, you've read The Aftermath), but this is my first time on the WWE train. This fic involves mainly Lita, Jeff Hardy, and Matt Hardy. Cameo's by some other wrestler's will come to be, but these are the main peeps. Enjoy!
NOTE: This story is written as if the storyline was real. I am no stranger to the fact that the WWE and it's storyline is fake. Don't criticise me over that. Thank you!

Undertaker had helped Amy get Jeff into her car. Actually, it was Jeff's corvette. He never minded when she drived it.
He shifted in the passenger seat. He was awake. He turned to look at her. His neck was good enough to move now. "I really fucked up out there, didn't I?"
She gave him a sideward glance. "You won, didn't you?"
"I smacked the shit out of the bastard using a steel chair. Not much of a win. Then, I went through a table."
She smiled. "You were still brave."
"I guess so. I'll get him soon."
"Leave Mark to that. They're supposed to have a championship match soon, anyway. Remember why we're fighting. You wanna kill Matt. Remember?"
He groaned with a headache. "Rings a bell."
She glanced at him again. "Wanna go to bed?"
"All counts," he said, giving her a small grin. "Do I get a neon sign that says 'Free HBO'?"
Amy laughed. "Whatever you want, Jeff."
She pulled in at the nearest motel and helped Jeff walk in. They got a room and the first thing Jeff did was fall onto the bed.
She smirked. "What about your free HBO?"
"It's the concept, not the channel. I almost never use the free HBO. Especially when Scooby-Doo is on Cartoon Network."
Amy laughed again. "Why Scooby-Doo?"
"Because Spongebob Squarepants, over on that other channel, sucks squid ass."
"Are you serious?"
"Perhaps. I'm not even really keen on watching tv right now."
"And why not?"
Jeff didn't say a thing. She looked. He was asleep.
"Figures," she mumbled. "Good night, you lazy bastard. MY lazy bastard."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff woke up to the sound of the tv and the blue glow of the television. He looked at the clock. It was only 2:00 in the morning. He groaned and rolled over.
Amy was sitting on the opposite bed in pajama pants and a tank top, watching tv. She looked over when he groaned. "Did I wake you up?" she asked, almost apologetically.
"No. I fell asleep on my shoulder. It hurts like hell."
"Need some tylenol or something?"
"I can get it. You just keep on watching-"
He rolled over to see what she was watching. Scooby-Doo.
She noticed what he was looking at. "Only thing on. And you got me in the mood."
He smiled. He slowly and painfully got up. Or tried, one might say. "Jesus-Christ that hurts!"
Amy got up, alarmed. "Are you ok?"
"With the exception of all of those imaginary knives shooting into my shoulder and neck, I suppose I'm alright."
"Here. I'll get you're pain killer."
He was going to object, but realized that would have been stupid. He let her go. He liked her concern for him, and she probably liked taking care of him.
She came back with the pills and a plastic cup of water.
He looked at her. "You should go to sleep. I've got leave because of injury for the next couple weeks. We're going road-tripping."
She laughed. "To where, exactly?"
He shrugged, wincing with the pain in his shoulder. "Where do you wanna go?"
She kept grinning. "Let's go to-"
She got stopped when her cell phone rang. She hurriedly went to get it out of her bag. Jeff shifted again to make himself a little more comfortable.
"Yeah... Not a problem at all... I understand... I'll see you then..."
She turned the phone off and looked at Jeff smugly.
Jeff stared back. "Yes?"
"I have a match against a surprise person."
"Oh... No vacation?"
Amy shook her head. "I've got to be there. You don't have to come if you don't want to."
Jeff then shook HIS head. "No way am I not going to be there. Don't worry. Where's Smackdown! this week, anyway?"
"Chicago."
Jeff grinned and nodded. "Then we leave for Chicago in a few days. No big deal."
"I guess so."
"Now go to sleep. I know what you're like when you don't have enough sleep."
"Fine, but don't stay up too late watching Scooby-Doo."
Jeff sighed. "OK, mom."
She laughed a final time before dosing off. At least Jeff would be with her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cole: Welcome back to Smackdown! and what about Lita's match tonight?
Tazz: I'm just wondering who her opponent will be. From what we know, Vince made the match and informed Steph to get Lita here for it. We also know that she's got Jeff Hardy with her tonight.
Cole: Is he crazy? Did the F-5 through a table not make it clear that he's on somebody's hitlist, that somebody probably being his brother, Matt.
Tazz: Let's take another look at that devastating F-5 last week. I have no idea what Jeff was going to do, but when that irish whip was countered, it was clear exactly what Brock Lesnar meant to do. And then Lita's reaction to the incident.
Cole: But who came to the rescue? Undertaker did. We were informed earlier today that Undertaker challenged Brock Lesnar to a non-title match here tonight.
Tazz: I can't wait for that one! But next, Lita will face her surprise opponent. That's after this break!
(commercial break)
Tazz: Welcome back. Right now, we're getting amped for this next match between Lita and a surprise opponent.
Cole: Knowing Mr. Mchmahon, it could be anybody. Wait! Here comes Lita!
(lita's entrance music and her entrance, not accompanied by jeff.)
Cole: Where's Jeff?
Tazz: Probably watching from backstage where it's safe.
Cole: So who's her opponent?
(question answered. matt hardy's music starts as he enters with shannon moore.)
Cole: I can't believe this! She's fighting her ex-boyfriend!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh shit!" was all Jeff said. He leaned closer to the tv. Good. Amy started the match off good.
She quickly got Shannon out of the ring, but she hesitated with Matt. She just stared. Then, when Matt made a move, she countered. They exchanged some quick blows, nothing serious. Then it happened. She managed to get him down for a twist of fate. She pulled it off!
"Yes!" Jeff yelled. But wait... Shannon was still out there.
He had a chair. When Amy turned around, she was smacked with a chair.
Mysterio burst into the room. "Dude, are you watching that... match? Jeff?"
He wasn't there. Rey shrugged and left the room. Maybe he was watching it somewhere else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That little bastard, Shannon, could really swing. That was one hell of a shot. She was barely conscious.
Matt was angry. He picked her up and did a side effect to her. The crowd booed. He did his V1 taunt and picked her up again. He readied her for a twist of fate. Then the music came.
Jeff ran out, ready for action.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cole: It's Jeff! It's Jeff!
Tazz: He can't be in the condition to do this!
Cole: God bless Jeff Hardy!
(jeff slides into the ring, ducking under a share shot by shannon. he bounces back and gives shannon a toe kick. he readies him for the twist of fate and executes. the damage to shannon sent him out of the ring. jeff holds injured shoulder in pain.)
Cole: Perhaps Jeff isn't good to go out here. Looks like that twist of fate brought out an injury from last week.
Tazz: All we can do now is pray Jeff gets out of there alive.
(meanwhile, matt had thrown lita to the ground, astonished by this show of bravery from his little brother. seeing lita try to escape, he pulls her back up by her hair and starts shouting. jeff gets up with shannon's chair and nails matt in the back of the head with it. seeing how matt landed, jeff gets a plan. he throws the chair on matt and goes for the turnbuckle.)
Cole: Is he really going to do this?
Tazz: I think we're going to see a swanton bomb!
(jeff gets up to the top turnbuckle, catches his breath and jumps. he lands on the chair, smashing matt.)
Cole: I can't believe it!
Tazz: Matt's not getting up. Neither is Jeff. The damage to both wrestlers may be serious.
(lita was trying to get up at one of the turnbuckles. she managed to get up and walk shakily to jeff's side. she motioned for meds)
Lita (barely audible to television audience and most of crowd): Please help him. I'm all right. I'm not the one that probably just broke their neck.
Cole: The devestation in the ring is absolutely frightning. Jeff Hardy has never been known for not doing anything it takes to defeat his enemy and Matt has never been known as anything but aggressive and ruthless. These two collide AGAINST each other, and the hell you see before you in the ring happens.
(tazz is silent, watching jeff get put on the stretcher. the crowd is now on their feet, trying to get a better look, absolutely silent.)
Cole: We have never seen... well, anything like this before.
Tazz: That is one brave man. I give my regards to Jeff Hardy. An F-5 last week wouldn't keep him from coming out and saving his girlfriend from his own brother.
(as jeff is taken up the ramp, the crowd stands and repeatedly chants his name. lita walks alongside the unconscious jeff. other meds are checking on matt and shannon.)
Cole: Well, for our viewers at home and in this arena, some of us are just glad that that epidemic is over. Watch the replay as an injured Jeff Hardy came out and brutalized his brother Matt and Matt's M-Fer, Shannon.
Tazz: See this swanton? Icing on the cake. Put both of them out. We are very likely to see a very cautious Matt Hardy for the next few weeks.
Cole: After the break, our GM, Stephanie McMahon, has an announcement, apparently regarding a new championship belt. I can't wait, Tazz.
Tazz: You're going to have to. That's next.
(cut to commercial.)
(back from commercial.)
Tazz: Welcome back to Smackdown! Miss McMahon looking stunning tonight. She's making her way to the ring with a briefcase, which may have the new belts in them.
Cole: Shut up! She's about to talk.
Steph: Last week, I announced that Smackdown!, the greatest sports television show ever, would be the home of a new championship. Might I remind you, only Smackdown! and I could bring this to you, the deserving audience at home. Just for you, we bring you the top entertainment available. That's why I waste no more of your time and show you the new belts.
Tazz: Did she just say belts?
Cole: Shhh!
(stephanie pulls out two belts. unlike the other belts, they are silver with blue writing. a clear word on the belts says "TLC".)
Steph: May I present to you the TLC Tag Championship. The rules: The matches are always TLC Tag matches, that in which the belts are suspended on the cieling. Any combination of men and/or women can compete for this belt. Except for that, the only rule left is do whatever it takes to win these. Now is when I announce who will compete at Royal Rumble for these belts. Recently aquiring Rob Van Dam and The Hurricane, they will be a team competing for these belts. Tajiri and A-Train will be the next team I have competing. The next team is-
Tazz: A third team!
Cole: Shut the hell up!
Steph: Will be Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. The last set of competitors is-
Cole: Four teams!
Tazz: Shut up! Wait, this is backwards.
Steph: ... Jeff Hardy and Lita!
(the crowd breaks into torrents of cheers as steph exits the ring and goes backstage with the belts.)
(after a few words from Tazz and Cole, cut to commercial.)
