Chapter Twenty-Three: Home Sweet Home

Dave stopped flipping through the magazine in his hand, and looked up at Kali as she hung up her phone. "What did she say?" he asked.

"She wants me to be her maid of honor," Kali replied gleefully.

"Okay, what did she say about her and John?" Dave asked, trying to be more specific.

"Oh, that's not important anymore," Kali said, shaking her head. "What's important is that I get to be maid of honor!"

"You seem awfully excited about this," Dave said, smiling.

"I am, this is my sister's wedding we're talking about," she replied.

"Kali, she's already married," Dave pointed out.

"Okay, her second ceremony, but whatever," Kali said. She took a seat next to him on the bed. They were in his hotel room. She rested her head on his shoulder, and sighed. "So, did I do good tonight?" she asked in a shy voice.

"You were wonderful," he replied, kissing her temple. They laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

Two Weeks Later:

Sara searched through the large group of people walking out of the arrivals gate at LAX, she was waiting for Kali. When she saw her sister, she waved her hands to get her attention. Kali hurried over to her and gave her a tight hug. "God, I've missed you," Kali said.

"Yeah, well I get to see you on Monday nights now, so I haven't missed you too much," Sara joked. Kali playfully hit her shoulder. "I kidding, of course I've missed you."

"Good, you better have," Kali said, and they started walking toward baggage claim.

"How long did are you home for?" Sara asked.

"Til Saturday, then I have to fly to North Carolina for a house show," Kali answered.

"Good, then you can help me pick out my cake, and we can get your dress fitted," Sara said, grinning at her sister.

"What color is my dress?" Kali asked.

"A very pretty color," Sara replied.

"And what pretty color would that be?" Kali returned.

"One of the prettiest, let me tell ya," Sara said, trying to keep from laughing.

"You aren't going to tell me, are you?" Kali asked, narrowing her eyes at her sister. Sara shook her head. Kali rolled her eyes, and turned her attention to the luggage that was beginning to flow out onto the baggage claim train.

Kali had desperately wanted to go straight to her apartment after leaving the airport, but Sara had other plans. "Mom really wants to see you," she said. She walked slowly up the front steps and followed Sara into her mom's house.

"Kali, sweetie, you look tired," Her mom said, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Thanks, Mom," Kali replied, "but you do know that telling someone they look tired is the polite way of saying they look like shit."

Her mom hit her in the arm. "Now I didn't mean that and you know it," she protested, "I'd say you looked like shit if you looked like shit." She led the way into the kitchen where she had a large breakfast feast set out. "I hope you're hungry."

"Mom, think about who you're talking to," Sara said, sitting down at the table, "Kali's always hungry."

"I am not," Kali protested taking her seat, "Okay maybe I am, but I'm still a growing girl."

"Whatever you say," Sara replied.

"So, Kali," her mom said, changing the subject, "How do you like being on RAW?"

"I'm really liking it," Kali said helping herself to some of the French toast, "They're even talking about making me a contender for the Women's title soon."

"Really?" Sara asked, "that's awesome"

"And I've noticed you spent a lot of time wrestling with Dave," her mom said, smiling.

"I am part of Evolution, Mom," Kali answered, rolling her eyes.

"How are things between you and Dave anyway?" Sara asked.

"They're going good. Really good actually," Kali answered.

Kali set her bags down in the hallway of her apartment and walked into her bedroom. She collapsed on her bed with a loud sigh. "Home sweet home," she mumbled, feeling more than relieved to be back. After a few minutes she forced herself up and headed into the bathroom. A nice, hot bubble bath sounded close to heaven.

A/N: This is kind of a filler chapter, mostly here to show the relationship between Kali and Sara. I hope you like it, more will happen in the next few chapters I promise. Thanks for reading!
