Playing the Game

Brooke walked backstage with her title on her shoulder. She saw Randy coming towards her so she smiled.

"What's up?" she asked.

He looked at her with a frown on his face and said, "I just found out I have a match against Viscera."

She made the mistake of taking a sip of water and choking before saying. "What! What are you going to do?" He shrugged as they started to walk towards his locker room. "Wait…if you're in a match against Viscera then who am I up against?"

"There's a list outside of Bischoff's office." She nodded and dropped her stuff off to walk down to Bischoff's office. She spotted the list and read it. She had an over the top rope match with none other than Gene Snitsky. Her eyes about popped out of her head as she started backing up away from the list.

She felt herself back up into someone behind her. She slowly turned around to see Gene standing there with a smirk. He grabbed her hair and put his other hand on her cheek. "I'll see you in the ring." Brooke glared and kneed him in the groin. She then hurried down the hallway back to Randy's locker room.

Triple H and Ric Flair stood in the ring with a mic and smirked to the crowd. "We have some great news for all you fans out there. Your beloved diva, Brooke James, is in a match with Gene Snitsky!" The crowd booed when Gene walked out and into the ring.

"Thanks to our General Manager, It will be an over the top rope match." The crowd booed yet again. "I know I know you're so excited to see her get hurt but don't worry. Gene will control himself in the ring." Triple H said sarcastically. Gene started breathing heavily with a stern look. "Oh and Gene, Take care of her." Gene nodded with a sadistic smile.

Brooke walked out onto the platform with a microphone and laughed. "You think he is going to take care of me? Damn boy you gotta do better then that."

Evolution and Gene looked over to where she was standing. Triple H nodded towards her for Gene to go after her. Gene started climbing out of the ring and walking towards her.

"What do you think you're doing?" she said in the mic. He kept walking to her and stood right in front of her. He grabbed her neck and waited for her to start whimpering but she didn't. She kept a strong face ready to be slammed into the metal platform.

"Hold it!" Someone yelled. Brooke looked toward the ring but didn't see anyone calling from there. She could feel Gene's hand tighten on her throat and that's when she knew that someone was behind her.

"What are you doing Dave?" seethed Triple H.

"What do you think you're doing? You can't choke slam a women on the platform." Batista said on mic.

"Dave you have no buisness being out here." Triple gave the nod to Gene and he lifted her up in the air but she kicked him in his groin and he dropped her to the ground. Randy came and helped pick her up.

"Told ya you couldn't, she'd never let it happen." Dave stated while glaring at Gene and walking backstage.

Brooke looked at Dave backstage and said, "Thanks."

"For?" He asked as if he didnt know. She rolled her eyes and said,

"Good luck with Evolution." He took a sip of water and said,

"You too." With that she knew they each shared a mutal respect that wouldn't need to be shown again.

In Randy's locker room, Brooke stood at the mirror trying on outfits. She finally settled on a black shirt that was tied and had an opening on the side with a pair of man made holey jeans.

"How do I look?" She said as she turned around to face Randy who was sitting on the couch.

He nodded his head of approval and said, "Great." She sighed and took a seat next to him.

"You gotta go out like you're gonna win this thing. I know it's Viscera but if you don't think positive you definitely won't win."

"What about you? Are you thinking positively with your match against Gene?"

She looked down and shook her head. "No…but come on I won't win that and you have a chance."

"And if I win? Are you going to give me one of those dances you started to give to H?"

She smirked and said, "Depends…are you going to win?"

"Depends am I going to get some good luck before I go?" Randy stood up and cocked his head to the side. Brooke shook her head and stood up to give him a kiss on the cheek but he moved to their lips touched. Brooke pulled away and smirked.

"Now that's what I call good luck." He said as he put on a cocky grin. He left the locker room to go beat his opponent.

Brooke walked back over to the mirror to look at her outfit again but what she didn't know was someone had walked in after Randy left. She looked in the mirror and noticed a shadow.

"Who's there?" She asked as she walked over to it. Gene appeared and he grabbed her neck and shoved her to the wall. He started breathing heavily and looked her up and down. He put his hand on her thigh and started to move it up when Brooke kneed him , yet again, in the groin. She tried to walk away but he grabbed her arm and shoved her to the couch.

"No! Gene stop please!" She said as he climbed on top of her. She started kicking and punching anything to get away. She had finally hit his eye and got off the couch. She ran straight for the door and ran outside. Without looking she ran right into Kane.

Kane looked at her and glared. "Is he in there?" She nodded without saying anything. He rushed past her and into the locker room. After a few minutes Kane and Gene were outside fighting. She walked slowly away not wanting to think about what would've happened to her if she hadn't learned to fight.

Brooke waited backstage for her match. She had seen Randy actually beat Viscera. He walked backstage to see her waiting.

"What are you doing here so soon?" He asked while wiping his forehead with a towel and started making his way over to her.

She shrugged and shook her head. He raised an eyebrow and asked her again. She sighed and looked at the ground. She told him what happened but she didn't stay long enough to see him get angry cause she was called to go on first.

She walked out and onto the platform and nodded to her fans. She walked up to the ring and got in to wait for Gene. His theme song played but he didn't show up. They played it again but he didn't show. She looked at the ref and shrugged.

"The winner of this match by…" Started Lillian but Triple H's music came on. He got into the ring and scowled at Brooke.

"I don't know what you did or how you did it but I wont let you get away with this. You will learn that I am the World Heavyweight Champion."

She grabbed the mic away from Lillian and said, "For the time being, you're World Heavyweight Champion but not for long because I will get that title and no one can stop me from trying."
