Chapter 5: Rumors

IN THURSDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN..

The audience kept talking about the rumor.

"I'm hearing stuff that Rey and Eddie are more than just friends. What've they got to say about this?" Michael Cole announced.

"And from what I heard, Melina started it." Tazz added.

"Why wouldn't she? See the way she talks to those two?"

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

BACKSTAGE...

"Eddie, we're doomed I tell ya, DOOMED!" Rey told Eddie, with panicky eyes.

"Chill, holmes, chill! What's your problem?" Eddie said, trying to calm him down.

"I think Melina found out."

"About what?"

"Sobre nuestra relación, hombre."(About our relationship, man.)

"¡Esa mujer horrible¡Debemos salir allí y batirla para arriba!"( That horrible woman! We should go out there and beat her up!)

"Shshshshshh. Stop man. Don't beat her up."

"Then what do we do with her?"

"Just leave her alone."

"How do we get back at her?"

"Spread a rumor?"

"Forget it man.With Mercury and Nitro around, we can't get anywhere close to her."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

THREE MONTHS LATER...

Ironically, their families never heard about the rumors. The pressure was building up inside Rey. He just had to confirm the rumors once and for all. But first, he would have to ask Eddie.

"Eddie, can we talk?"

"Sure, man. What's new?" Rey could sense that he was feeling the same.

"About the rumors...should we confirm it? I can't take it anymore. I hate this kind of humiliation."

Eddie sensed that his lover needed some comfort. He then wrapped his arms around Rey, who did the same.

"That's also humiliating, but I think that's the right thing to do, amor.

"Sooo, we do it tonight?"

"Together, Rey. Together."

"Let's go."

AT THE RING AREA...(it was again..Carlito's Cabana-plus, John Cena and JBL were at ringside for commentary)

"You know," Carlito began,"I think that--"

Rey and Eddie entered.

"THAT I'M BEING INTERRUPTED SO MANY TIMES!" he yelled into the microphone. Rey snatched it.

"Sorry, Carlito. Anyway, we have a short but very important announcement to make.You hear those rumors about me and Eddie, you know...I hate to be the bearer of bad news-or good news-that those rumors...are TRUE."

Carlito began doing his "weird gestures" again until he eventually passed out.

"Oh my-Oh my gosh! It's true? To think Melina was such a liar! John-you've got comments on this?" said Michael.

"Yeah...I knew it from the day it started."

"YOU WHAT?"

"Well, I made a commitment to Rey and Eddie that I wouldn't spill it-hey, a promise is a promise, right?"

"Right."

"Yes in fact-it IS true. Rey and Eddie love each other-like MORE THAN FRIENDS." JBL began.

"Yeah, Daddy Braddy. You were the mastermind of this whole thing, yo." John replied."And pay me extra for having to fib."

"Fine. Here's your three hundred, Johnny."

"How many times do I have to tell you?" said John, taking the money, "STOP CALLING ME JOHNNY."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Are you two telling me you were ACCOMPLICES in this thing!" Tazz said, confused.

"Yes but only this once, Tazz, ONCE." JBL replied.

WHEN THE SHOW FINISHED...

Rey's wife neared him.

"WE NEED TO TALK." she said, with a bad look on her face.

"You too, Eddie." Eddie's wife said.
