Maeve: Well, on with another chapter! *sounds the trumpets*
Kandiland: *shakes head* You're absolutely fucking nuts.
Maeve: Me? Nuts? Whatever would have given you that idea?
Kandiland: Have you read our past conversations?
Maeve: *goes back and reads* Point taken. I'm not fucking nuts though. I'm a puzzling enigma.
Kandiland: However you spell it, you're still fucking nuts.
Maeve: *blows a raspberry*
Kandiland: Oh, very mature. VERY mature.
Maeve: Always here to impress.
Kandiland: Can we get on with the chapter please?
Maeve: *sighs* Stifling my creativity again. I see how it is. *goes out*
Kandiland: Anyway, on with the chapter.
(Mikhaila goes out to eat with Shane and Vince, and they talk to her about how the business works and how they got into it and where it was all from. Later that night Adam calls Mikhaila)
Adam: Mikhaila! I missed you today!
Mikhaila: (chuckling) Well I missed you too. What'd you do all day?
Adam: Just hung around with the guys, worked out. I had to, considering I'm wrestling tomorrow night. Oy. They've got me in a ladder match with Eddie.
Mikhaila: (confused) Ladder match?
Adam: Let's just say it's not the most pleasant of matches, but it's fun. It should work out fine.
Mikhaila: (shudders) If you say so. You get yourself killed though, and I'm dying and coming after you.
Adam: (laughs) Agreed. So what'd you do today?
Mikhaila: Learned about the family business. I had dinner with Vince and Shane. You know, one of these days this whole story's gonna have to leak out somehow.
Adam: Yeah. Cause if you're gonna be around backstage in any amount, people are gonna notice you and start to notice the similarities.
Mikhaila: (sighs) I know. The only real reason we're not doing it right now is because Stephanie's still so resistant. I know she'll come around, but until then, I'm walking on eggshells.
Adam: Hey, now, don't get down over it. She'll come around, and if not, Vince'll make her. He wants everyone to know you're his daughter, and so does Linda and even Shane. They don't want to hide this anymore. (whistles) That'll be an interesting show. You in the middle of the ring with the McMahons announcing you're one of them.
Mikhaila: (squeaks) Me? In the middle of the ring? Shit.
Adam: You're not nervous are you?
Mikhaila: Um, just a tad. I just don't like the feeling of tens of thousands of people judging me at once. I'll get over it. (looks at the clock) Adam, it's almost one am. I think we should turn in, don't you?
Adam: (sighs) I guess. Are you really tired?
Mikhaila: Yes, I really am. You woke me up, remember?
Adam: (cringes) Sorry about that one. Goodnight babe.
Mikhaila: Night hon. (hangs up and falls back asleep on the couch, smiling)
(The next morning they see each other at breakfast and sit down together, talking about their days yesterday. Adam shakes his head at the whole situation with Matt and Kat.)
Adam: You know, something's going to have to bring those two together.
Mikhaila: Eventually they will. Maybe soon, maybe not so much. All I know is that if they don't they're going to drive everyone around them nuts.
Adam: (shakes his head) Sometimes people can be so oblivious. (turns his head to notice Kat and Shane walking in together) Oh this can't be good.
Mikhaila: (follows his eyes to where the two are. They wave and she waves back) Not in the least. And I thought I had problems.
Kat: (sits down with Shane after getting stuff to eat) Hey guys! How are you this morning?
Mikhaila: Great. How was the date last night?
Shane: We had fun. Kat's an amazing girl.
Kat: Yeah. We went out for dinner and a movie, then went back to his room and talked all night. It was great.
Adam: (raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything) Sounds like you two connected. That's sweet you guys!
Mikhaila: Yeah! Sounds like you've got one Kat! (laughs)
Kat: (laughs and smacks her on the back of the head) You moron!
Mikhaila: Bitch! (grabs a fingerful of whip cream off her waffle and flicks it at her)
Kat: Oh it's on slut! (whips whip cream at her, getting it on her nose)
(Adam and Shane watch the two girls, wondering what the hell they're doing)
Shane: Guys, guys! What the hell are you doing? (Mikhaila and Kat turn to him, smiling evilly and they both hit him with the whip cream at the same time) Oh women or not, you're gonna get it! (grabs the can of whip cream and sprays them both)
Adam: Oh man, not you too Shane! (gets hit by all three of them) Alright, that's it! (sprays whip cream in his hand and smears it all over Mikhaila's face) That's for getting me before!
Mikhaila: (turns to Adam, wiping whip cream out of her eyes) Oh really. (grabs the can and sprays him all over his hair) There!
Adam: Oh no you did NOT just do that. (glares playfully and sprays her)
(The four of them erupt into a massive whip cream war. Eventually they all run out of whip cream and sit back down in their chairs, laughing and trying to remove as much of it as possible)
Adam: (laughing wiping his face off) God that was fun!
Kat: I know! I haven't had that much fun in a while!
Shane: (still laughing) Not exactly the breakfast I'd pictured. You guys are all weird!
Mikhaila: (raises an eyebrow) In a good way I hope?
Shane: Of course.
Mikhaila: Adam, you've got whip cream all in your hair. (shakes her head) You're a mess.
Adam: (smiling and laughing) You look like a mess too you know! (takes his napikan and wipes off her face) God, you really are covered in this aren't you?
Mikhaila: Thanks. (wipes off his face) You are too. You know, if Vince were to walk in seeing all of us like this, he'd be none to pleased. Then again, I don't care. That was fun.
Kat: Yeah, it was. Shane, you've still got some on your face. (goes to reach over and wipe it off and kisses him)
(Adam and Mikhaila both turn and watch them, surprise registering on their faces)
Mikhaila: I.um.
Adam: Uh.oh.
(They stop kissing and leave their foreheads together, smiling and not realizing that Adam and Mikhaila are still there)
Mikhaila: (whispers in Adam's ear) I think we'd better go.
Adam: (nods) Yeah. Good idea. (gets up with Mikhaila and heads to the elevators)
Mikhaila: (leans against the railing in the elevator) This is going to get complicated.
Adam: Yeah. Just.very complicated.
Mikhaila: You up for doing anything today? Oh that's right!! You have to go to the arena. You've got that match tonight.
Adam: (nods) Yeah, but why don't you come to my room and we can hang out before we have to go?
Mikhaila: Yeah, but I've gotta shower first. You've got me covered in whip cream. I feel all sticky. (makes a face)
Adam: (laughs and messes with her hair) Oh god, you look frightening like that!
Mikhaila: Oh yeah? (jumps on his back and messes with his hair)
(Jay is waiting for the elevator to go down when he hears a door open. He goes over there and sees Adam laughing and he's trying to pull a laughing Mikhaila off his back. She's got her hands tangled in his hair. The two look up as the doors open and see Jay watching them)
Jay: I don't even want to know.
Mikhaila: Fine, you may win this one Adam, but I'll win next time! (gets off his back) Go on, we both need to shower.
Adam: (nods) Yeah. Shower. (grabs her in a headlock and messes up her hair again) Had to get in the last hit didn't I? See you in a few. (the doors close)
Jay: (turns to say something)
Adam: I've gotta shower. Mikhaila's gonna be coming down soon. (walks off towards their room, hearing Jay's laughter echoing down the hall)
Mikhaila: (walks into her room and heads for the showers. When she gets out, Kat's waiting outside the door of the bathroom) What the hell are you doing?!
Kat: (confused) Waiting for the shower?
Mikhaila: Not that! I mean what are you doing with Shane?
Kat: Something commonly called dating. Now if you'll get out of the bathroom, I've got another date with him before the show tonight.
Mikhaila: What about Matt?
Kat: (glares) What about Matt? I'm just a kid to him, remember? (walks into the bathroom, shutting the door. She finishes her shower and puts on a pair of cargo shorts and a tank top and ties a bandana around her hair. When there is a knock at the door. She goes over to the door expecting it to be Shane.) Coming. (opens the door and goes wide eyed) Matt. What are you doing here?
Matt: Well I've been thinking a lot about everything and I think we need to talk.
Kat: You wanna talk? Now?
Matt: I just figured that.
Kat: Well can you make it quick I've got a date with Shane H
Matt: You've got a what?
Kat: You know two ADULTS that like each other going to do something fun. (Shane walks up)
Shane: Hey Kat. (Hugging her and kissing her on the cheek)
Kat: Hey. So what are we doing?
Shane: I thought we'd go skateboarding on the pier and walk on the beach and stuff.
Kat: Cool. (Walks out the door with Shane following her) See you later at the arena Matt.
Matt: (almost inaudibly) Right. (as he watches Kat and Shane walk away from him hand in hand. Matt stands there for a few minutes and walk to the elevator hanging his head)
Meanwhile.
Mikhaila: Oh good lord. (goes to her room, throwing on a pair of shorts and a tank top and some sandals. She looks at herself in a mirror) Aw hell, why not? (messes up her hair a bit and goes to see Adam)
Adam: (hangs up the phone and lays back on the bed. Suddenly he hears a knock at the door and answers it) Shit! That was fast!
Mikhaila: That was half an hour ago. (looks at his hair) You haven't showered yet have you?
Adam: No. My mom called and I ended up talking to her. I just got off the phone when you knocked.
Mikhaila: Well would you prefer me to sit in the hallway waiting or come in? Besides, I need to use your hair dryer. Kat got to the bathroom before I could dry my hair, as you can probably tell.
Adam: (shrugs) Sure, come in. (goes into the bathroom, Mikhaila following) Um, what are you doing?
Mikhaila: I'm gonna dry my hair. The hair dryer's in here.
Adam: But I'm needing to take my shower.
Mikhaila: So take one. We can share the bathroom. Oh, can I borrow your brush?
Adam: (shrugs shaking his head) Sure, why not? (gets into the shower, undressing in there and throwing his clothes over the top of the shower, splattering whip cream everywhere)
Mikhaila: God dammit Adam! Stop throwing your clothes at me! I'm gonna get covered in whip cream again! (yanks his pants off her head) Dude, just put them out the door of the shower in your hand for Chrissake!
Adam: (turns on the shower) I don't have any more clothes to throw. So what do you want to do today?
Mikhaila: (turns on the dryer, using his brush) Well, I really want to go to this museum downtown. One of my professors in college told me that there was an awesome exhibit there. I really want to see it.
Adam: Sounds like fun. And our feet get to stay planted on the ground. Aw shit. Hey, can you hand me the shampoo on the counter.
Mikhaila: Sure. (grabs the shampoo and opens the shower door, handing him the bottle, and closes it before heading back to the counter)
Adam: What the hell?
Mikhaila: What? Is it the wrong bottle?
Adam: No, actually you just opened the shower door.
Mikhaila: Well how the hell else did you expect me to give you the shampoo?
Adam: I'm naked in here! It's a little weird!
Mikhaila: Well, generally you ARE naked when you're in the shower. And it's not that big a deal. (turns on the dryer again) So what else do you want to do today? (thinks "He was naked in the shower. Jesus, I just saw him in the shower. That is a little weird.")
Adam: Well, I think the museum's gonna be about it. After that I've gotta get to the arena and get warmed up and dressed and all.
Mikhaila: Sounds good. (shuts off the dryer) Well, I'm gonna wait for you out in the bedroom.
Adam: Can you hand me my towel first? And DON"T OPEN THE DOOR!
Mikhaila: (shakes her head) Honestly, it's not like I haven't seen it before.
Adam: Ok, that's not helping right now. (sticks his hand out the door grabbing the towel from her) Now out. I need to get dressed.
(Mikhaila goes out and sits on one of the beds, leaning up against the headboard, and turns on the TV. Soon she hears the door open and sees Adam walking around in his towel)
Mikhaila: What the hell are you doing?
Adam: Getting clothes?
Mikhaila: Yeah, that does make sense, considering the ones you had were covered in whip cream. Hurry up, I wanna get there when it opens!
Adam: (salutes) Yes ma'am! (ducks as she throws something at him, laughing as he closes the door)
(Soon he's dressed and the two head out)
Adam: Well, if you really want to go, we're going we're going! (sees Matt moping) Hey Matt.
Matt: (turns to him) Hey guys. What's up?
Mikhaila: You don't sound so good.
Matt: I don't feel so good.
Adam: What's wrong dude?
Matt: Everything. Yesterday I hugged Kat before Amy and now we're broke up and.
Mikhaila: (shocked) You and Amy broke up?!
Matt: Yeah, and Kat's got Shane now and everyone's all happy and I'm just an ass.
Adam: Dude, moping around isn't helping you any. Why don't you go talk to Kat?
Matt: Because she's pissed at me. I already tried that one. She doesn't want to see me.
Mikhaila: I wouldn't be so sure. Just go and talk to her Matt. She's probably still in our room.
Matt: (sighs) No she's not. She's out with Shane. I'm gonna go back to my room guys. See you at the arena tonight. (heads off to the elevator)
Adam: (watches him) I feel sorry for him, but he's kinda walked into it.
Mikhaila: And I know for a fact that Kat really like Matt. Apparently, though, he said something stupid and she's still pissed at him. Come on, let's go.
(They grab a cab to the museum. She grabs his hand and eagerly heads towards the Egyptian exhibit)
Mikhaila: (in Egyptian) Rameses II, son of Osiris and Isis, protector of the lands and seas, descendent of the gods and the voice of Ra on earth. He who enters this tomb shall witness that which should not be seen. (continues on)
Adam: (looking between her and the tablet, then back to her) What in the hell are you doing?
Mikhaila: (scanning the tablet) Reading. My professor was right. This is awesome!
Adam: Yes, I can see you're reading, but reading what? Where is it?
Mikhaila: (points at the tablet not moving her gaze) Right there.
Adam: That's pictures.
Mikhaila: It's hieroglyphs. Ancient Egyptian alphabet.
Adam: And you can read it? Why the hell do you know that?!
Mikhaila: (turns to him and shrugs) I majored in it in college. You can't get a degree in Egyptology without actually learning to read and write this stuff. (turns back, scanning through the tablet before moving on) Damn. They didn't mess around.
Adam: You never cease to amaze me Mikhaila. So what does this say? (points to another tablet)
Mikhaila: (quickly scans the tablet) Something along the lines of enter here and die, only more elaborate.
Adam: (backs away slowly) Maybe we shouldn't be reading this.
Mikhaila: Adam, it's 3000 years old. No harm can come from reading a tablet.
Adam: (pulls her back) That's what everyone says, and next thing you know it's the end of the world. I saw the Mummy. I know what happens when you read this stuff. No more reading.
Mikhaila: Yeah, so did I. It was all wrong too. See.
Adam: (covers her mouth with his hand) No more cryptic stuff.
Mikhaila: (smiles at him) Aren't you cute when you're being superstitious. Now come on, there's a helluva lot more to see before I want to leave. (grabs him by the hand and pulls him towards the next one)
(They spend the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon walking around there, Mikhaila acting as tour guide, pointing out what things are and what they say and mean. They head back to the arena afterwards, talking the whole way about the museum)
Adam: (walking in stride with her) All I'm saying is that you're disturbing the dead. It ain't right.
Mikhaila: (looks around) Do you see any dead people come to life around here? Honestly Adam, it's in the pursuit of knowledge. Yes, there may be some truth to those threats, but many of them are booby traps that were tripped by early grave robbers.
Adam: Right right. I'll have to admit, it was all beautiful. (walks into the locker room)
Jay: (hears the two arguing) Trouble in paradise you two?
Adam: (glares at him) We are merely discussing whether or not stuff should be taken from people's tombs for public viewing.
Mikhaila: Yes, you should. Otherwise, the world would have to travel there to see it, and the lands and temples are too old to handle a volume of people like that. This way, people get a taste of the culture without all the travel expenses.
Adam: I still think it's wrong. Ok, let me rephrase. You reading about curses is wrong.
Jay: (raises an eyebrow) Curses? What the hell were you two doing?!
Mikhaila: I have a degree in Egyptology. I was reading the tablets they had in there.
Vince: (walks into the room) Mikhaila! I thought I'd find you here! I've been meaning to talk to you about a few things.
Mikhaila: (shocked) Dad?! What are you doing here? (All conversations stop and everyone turns their heads to face the trio. Vince and Mikhaila go wide eyed) Oops.
Vince: (cringes) Well, they had to find out sometime. Everybody, meet Mikhaila, my daughter.
Kandiland: *shakes head* You're absolutely fucking nuts.
Maeve: Me? Nuts? Whatever would have given you that idea?
Kandiland: Have you read our past conversations?
Maeve: *goes back and reads* Point taken. I'm not fucking nuts though. I'm a puzzling enigma.

Mikhaila: Sounds good. (shuts off the dryer) Well, I'm gonna wait for you out in the bedroom.
Adam: Can you hand me my towel first? And DON"T OPEN THE DOOR!
Mikhaila: (shakes her head) Honestly, it's not like I haven't seen it before.
Adam: Ok, that's not helping right now. (sticks his hand out the door grabbing the towel from her) Now out. I need to get dressed.
(Mikhaila goes out and sits on one of the beds, leaning up against the headboard, and turns on the TV. Soon she hears the door open and sees Adam walking around in his towel)
Mikhaila: What the hell are you doing?
Adam: Getting clothes?
Mikhaila: Yeah, that does make sense, considering the ones you had were covered in whip cream. Hurry up, I wanna get there when it opens!
Adam: (salutes) Yes ma'am! (ducks as she throws something at him, laughing as he closes the door)
(Soon he's dressed and the two head out)
Adam: Well, if you really want to go, we're going we're going! (sees Matt moping) Hey Matt.
Matt: (turns to him) Hey guys. What's up?
Mikhaila: You don't sound so good.
Matt: I don't feel so good.
Adam: What's wrong dude?
Matt: Everything. Yesterday I hugged Kat before Amy and now we're broke up and.
Mikhaila: (shocked) You and Amy broke up?!
Matt: Yeah, and Kat's got Shane now and everyone's all happy and I'm just an ass.
Adam: Dude, moping around isn't helping you any. Why don't you go talk to Kat?
Matt: Because she's pissed at me. I already tried that one. She doesn't want to see me.
Mikhaila: I wouldn't be so sure. Just go and talk to her Matt. She's probably still in our room.
Matt: (sighs) No she's not. She's out with Shane. I'm gonna go back to my room guys. See you at the arena tonight. (heads off to the elevator)
Adam: (watches him) I feel sorry for him, but he's kinda walked into it.
Mikhaila: And I know for a fact that Kat really like Matt. Apparently, though, he said something stupid and she's still pissed at him. Come on, let's go.
(They grab a cab to the museum. She grabs his hand and eagerly heads towards the Egyptian exhibit)
Mikhaila: (in Egyptian) Rameses II, son of Osiris and Isis, protector of the lands and seas, descendent of the gods and the voice of Ra on earth. He who enters this tomb shall witness that which should not be seen. (continues on)
Adam: (looking between her and the tablet, then back to her) What in the hell are you doing?
Mikhaila: (scanning the tablet) Reading. My professor was right. This is awesome!
Adam: Yes, I can see you're reading, but reading what? Where is it?
Mikhaila: (points at the tablet not moving her gaze) Right there.
Adam: That's pictures.
Mikhaila: It's hieroglyphs. Ancient Egyptian alphabet.
Adam: And you can read it? Why the hell do you know that?!
Mikhaila: (turns to him and shrugs) I majored in it in college. You can't get a degree in Egyptology without actually learning to read and write this stuff. (turns back, scanning through the tablet before moving on) Damn. They didn't mess around.
Adam: You never cease to amaze me Mikhaila. So what does this say? (points to another tablet)
Mikhaila: (quickly scans the tablet) Something along the lines of enter here and die, only more elaborate.
Adam: (backs away slowly) Maybe we shouldn't be reading this.
Mikhaila: Adam, it's 3000 years old. No harm can come from reading a tablet.
Adam: (pulls her back) That's what everyone says, and next thing you know it's the end of the world. I saw the Mummy. I know what happens when you read this stuff. No more reading.
Mikhaila: Yeah, so did I. It was all wrong too. See.
Adam: (covers her mouth with his hand) No more cryptic stuff.
Mikhaila: (smiles at him) Aren't you cute when you're being superstitious. Now come on, there's a helluva lot more to see before I want to leave. (grabs him by the hand and pulls him towards the next one)
(They spend the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon walking around there, Mikhaila acting as tour guide, pointing out what things are and what they say and mean. They head back to the arena afterwards, talking the whole way about the museum)
Adam: (walking in stride with her) All I'm saying is that you're disturbing the dead. It ain't right.
Mikhaila: (looks around) Do you see any dead people come to life around here? Honestly Adam, it's in the pursuit of knowledge. Yes, there may be some truth to those threats, but many of them are booby traps that were tripped by early grave robbers.
Adam: Right right. I'll have to admit, it was all beautiful. (walks into the locker room)
Jay: (hears the two arguing) Trouble in paradise you two?
Adam: (glares at him) We are merely discussing whether or not stuff should be taken from people's tombs for public viewing.
Mikhaila: Yes, you should. Otherwise, the world would have to travel there to see it, and the lands and temples are too old to handle a volume of people like that. This way, people get a taste of the culture without all the travel expenses.
Adam: I still think it's wrong. Ok, let me rephrase. You reading about curses is wrong.
Jay: (raises an eyebrow) Curses? What the hell were you two doing?!
Mikhaila: I have a degree in Egyptology. I was reading the tablets they had in there.
Vince: (walks into the room) Mikhaila! I thought I'd find you here! I've been meaning to talk to you about a few things.
Mikhaila: (shocked) Dad?! What are you doing here? (All conversations stop and everyone turns their heads to face the trio. Vince and Mikhaila go wide eyed) Oops.
Vince: (cringes) Well, they had to find out sometime. Everybody, meet Mikhaila, my daughter.
