A/N – Okay, last chapter guys. Please read & review!!!
Chapter 4
Unforgiven,
Fayetteville, North Carolina...
'Hey! Guys, good luck
tonight! I'll be right here rooting for you!' said Lita as she stuck
her head round the door of Matt and Jeff's locker room.
'Thanks
Lita! Are you fighting tonight?' replied Jeff after a few minutes,
seeing that Matt hadn't even heard her.
'Yeah, I got a match
against Jackie. You gonna watch?' she responded
'I might do. I
don't think he'll be going anywhere though!' replied Jeff, gesturing
toward Matt, who was now staring at the floor.
Lita laughed,
'Okay, well tell him I said good luck. Your match is on after this
next one.'
'Okay, will do. Oh, and I'll be rooting for you
too! Good luck!' said Jeff as he waved goodbye to her.
'Thanks,'
Lita said, smiling as she left their room.
A few minutes
passed, then there was a knock at the door.
'Come in' called
Jeff, again, Matt hadn't heard it
A crew member stuck his head
round the door, 'Hey, you guys are up in five.'
'Okay, thanks.
We'll be right out.' replied Jeff, standing up
'Matt? Hey!
Matt! We have to go, we're up in five minutes' Jeff shouted into his
brothers ear, trying to make him understand.
'Huh?' Matt
replied in confusion.
'I said,' sighed Jeff, 'that we have to
go. We're up in five minutes.'
'Oh! Okay!' replied Matt,
jumping up and running out of the door.
'King, this is gonna
be a slobber-knocker, if the last meeting between these two teams was
anything to go by!' J.R. said, as the Hardys music started
playing.
'You're right J.R. I don't think either team will go
down without a fight! We might even have new champs tonight if Matt
and Jeff are back to strength.' replied Jerry Lawler.
'Here
come those two grinning goofballs, Edge and Christian!' said J.R. as
Edge's music started.
'Let's get this ladder match underway
already!' said Lawler, as he watched Edge and Christian doing their
usual taunting.
Matt and Jeff had seen enough and charged at
the two blonde Canadians. The fight was on. Again, it was Christian
and Jeff starting the match, and again, it was Jeff who dominated
early on. He sent Christian sprawling to the outside with a drop-kick
to the back. He then ran and jumped over the ropes landing square on
Christian. Jeff quickly got back in the ring to break the count,
before rolling out again, and going to get the ladder that was set up
in the aisle. Before he could reach it, Edge came from out of nowhere
and speared Jeff to the floor. Jeff writhed in agony, as his back hit
the cold, hard, unforgiving concrete. Matt was trying to intervene,
but Jack Doan was keeping him out of the way. This allowed Edge and
Christian to fake the tag and double team Jeff. They were using the
ladder to their advantage, when Jeff managed to low-blow Edge. With
Edge down, Jeff managed to turn the tables on Christian and get back
to the ring to tag Matt.
'Matt Hardy is on fire! Look at how
he's knocking down Christian with those right hands!' exclaimed
J.R.
'Yeah, Edge and Christian better be worried because I
think the Hardys have a good chance of coming away victorious!'
replied Jerry Lawler, watching as Matt Hardy laid Edge out with a
swinging neckbreaker.
This was the signal for Jeff to go up
top and do the Swanton, but instead of climbing the turnbuckle, Jeff
set the ladder up.
'What is Jeff Hardy doing? He has the
perfect opportunity to hit the Swanton Bomb! Edge isn't moving!'
Jerry Lawler cried out in disbelief.
'Oh my God! He's climbing
the ladder, he's signalling for the Swanton Bomb! Oh my God! He's
going to do the Swanton Bomb off the ladder!' J.R. exclaimed in
shock.
'Someone call 911! One of these guys is sure to need an
ambulance!' yelled Lawler, to no-one in particular.
Jeff took
a deep breath and dived off the ladder, and towards Edge. 'I hope
he doesn't move!' Jeff thought as he neared his opponent's fallen
body.
Jeff connected with the Swanton Bomb.
'He did it!
Oh my Lord, he did it!' cried J.R. in total disbelief.
He and
Jerry Lawler watched as Matt, the legal man, climbed the ladder and
grabbed both tag team belts. He held them up in the air proudly as
the referee signalled for the bell. The arena was filled with the
Hardys music as Jeff slowly got to his feet and took one of the belts
off Matt, who had climbed back down the ladder. They both kissed
their belts, and then headed to the corners to proudly show them off
to their home fans, and their father, who was somewhere in the
crowd."
'Hey, Matt?'
'Yeah Jeff?'
'What do
you think would have happened if we'd become wrestlers?' Jeff asked
as he put his pen down. 'Do you think we'd be the tag champs?'
'Of
course! We were the best when we used to fight on that old
trampoline!' replied Matt, as he and Jeff sat thinking about their
childhood and what could have happened if their father hadn't
convinced them that wrestling wasn't a good enough job to survive
on.
'Well, I guess it's just dreams and fantasy stories now,
huh?' asked Jeff, as he passed his paper over to Matt.
'Wishful
Thinking? That's a good title for it Jeff, I think it looks great.'
Matt told his younger brother as they both went back to work. 'That's
all that story will ever be now, wishful thinking.'
The End
