Chapter 2
Stacy was leaning against a table. She was listening to Trish Stratus brag about her self. Trish was with her problem solver Tyson Tomko,
"…… and that why Stacy you will never win MY woman's championship"
"well we will have to see wont we Trish" she said sarcastically
"be realistic Stacy. You will never win, especially if I have my own personal problem solver in my corner ……" she caressed his chest, Tomko smiled, Stacy rolled her eyes. "Nobody stands a chance." Stacy laughed
"what's so funny ?" Trish asked her voice raising
"how long is it going to take Trish till Tomko realises your nothing but a loser !"
"excuse me … sweetie I'm the 5 time woman's champion ……."
"excuse me I'm the 5 time women's …." she said mocking Trish "hay shut up. the only reason you are the 5 time woman's champion is because you slept your way to the top"
"How dare you nobody speaks to the woman's champion like that."
"Oh. I thought I just did?" said Stacy now smirking
"get her Tyson" Trish ordered, as the problem solver advanced on Stacy. Stacy backed off until she hit a wall, Tomko was face to face with her. She could hear him breathing heavily, she closed he eyes as Tomko grabbed her by the hair.
"HAY!" called out a familial voice; Tomko let go of Stacy, her head jerked back viscously. Tomko turned to face the person who had called out. He was nose to nose with none other than Randy Orton,
"….. pick on someone your own size" he said confidently. Tomko cracked his knuckles
"Tomko. leave him he's not worth it. Come on let's get out of here" Trish said pulling her problem solver back
"yeah Tomko" called out Randy "get out of her ….." he looked down at Trish "….and take your little dog to"
"what did you say ?" said Trish stopping dead in her tracks,
Randy glanced over at Stacy who was holding her neck. Randy was concerned, he went over to her.
"You herd," answered Randy Orton as he walked over to Stacy,
"now I no you didn't just say that."
"What are you deaf?" said Randy raising his voice.
Trish lunged at Orton, Tyson tried to restrain her "come on Trish. Hay I'm right here, give me you're best shot," Trish struggled even more to try to get at Orton
"OK! Ok brake it up! Brake it up!" Eric Bischoff had walked on to the scene "you 4 want to fight so badly. Fine it will be the team of Tyson Tomko & Trish Stratus Vs Randy Orton & Stacy Keibler. And that match is up next"
"What ?!?" called out Trish in absolute horror. Tomko pulled Trish away. Randy shook his head and looked at Stacy, she was still holding her neck.
"Are you ok?" he asked, as he placed his hand on her neck,
Stacy had goose bumps she felt her upper body tingle. She looked up to see his deep blue eyes staring back at her, she could see he was concerned about her. Stacy's insides melted, she wanted to tell him how she really felt about him, and she wanted to feel his embrace, she just wanted to kiss his lips. Nevertheless, she held it all back in, smiled and said "I'm fine" Randy smiled back, moved his hand and nodded his head "all right lets do this," said Randy
"Lets go kick their asses" answered Stacy. Randy laughed and they headed for the ring.
Randy and Stacy made there way to the ring entrance, Stacy was still holding her neck
"Are you sure your Okay Stace?" he asked sounding concerned
"Randy I'm fine" she answered
"Are you sure you don't want to go and see the Pmt's or something…"
"Randy! Stop worrying I'll be ok…Besides if I did get in to trouble I know I'll have a legend killer to protect me" she said
Randy looked down at her to see she was looking up at him, they both stopped Randy moved closer to her he was going to kiss her but then Stacy music hit the arena "see you out there" Randy whispers in Stacy's ear, she smiles and head's through the black curtain, Randy watches her entrance on the monitor back stage. Randy was upset he was so close to kissing her.
"Hay Randy," he turns around to see Ric Flair "I herd u have a match now" asked Ric
"yep" he points at the monitor
"Against Stacy?!" asked Ric confused
"no man! I'm teaming up with her"
A big smile grew on Flair's face "Oh. I was going come with you to the ring. But I'm going to cramp your style …"
"thanks man" they high 5 each other, Evolutions music hit the arena
"go get her Casanova" says Ric laughing "my little Randy's all grown up." Randy laughs and heads out through the black curtains stands on the stage looking around the packed arena as he posed and the golden pyro erupts behind him. "…AND HER TAG TEAM PARTNER…." Called out Lillian Garcia "FROM ST. LOUIS MISSOURI WEIGHING IN AT 255 POUND HE IS 1 MEMBER OF EVOLUTION. RANDY. ORTON." He walked down the ring to his usual boo's and you suck chants, which didn't phase him at all, he was used to it after being with Evolution for so long he had grown accustom to it. He looked up to see Stacy staring at him still holding her neck but she smiled as he got in the ring, he jumped on the turnbuckle usual, but as he jumped down, he came face to face with Stacy,
"you ready ?" he asked in a whisper
"as I'll ever be" she answered.
The lights when out and Trish Stratus's music hit the arena "….AND THERE OPPONENTS…." called out Lillian "…. THE TEAM OF TYSON TOMKO AND THE WOMAN'S CHAMPION TRISH STRATUS" Tomko and Trish both got in the ring, once again Tomko and Orton went nose to nose "what's your problem Tomko huh? Come on bring it on" Tomko did not say a word
"hay, hay come on guys save something for the match" said referee Mick Ceioda as he was trying to separate the two superstar. He finally did "ok Stacy and Randy in that corner" he told them as he pointed to the furthest turnbuckle "Tomko and Trish in that one." They went to there corners
"who's going to go first" asked Stacy. Randy looked behind over his shoulder to see Tyson Tomko standing there,
"I guess I am," he answered looking back at Stacy
"ok" she said. She got out the ring and Randy turned to face Tyson
"LETS GO RANDY COME ON !!" called out Stacy, Randy smiled.
Randy came face to face with Tomko "ok ring the bell" called the ref and the bell sounded. The match was under way.
"you ready pretty boy ?" called out Tomko
"you bet" answered Orton smirking
Tyson went to hit him with a clothesline when Randy ducked and nailed him right in the chest with a standing drop kick. He could hear Stacy cheering him on.
The match was going well for Randy and Stacy until, Trish set up Stacy for her patented cheap kick. When Stacy ducked and Trish hit the referee instead knocking him out. For Trish's team this was the perfect opportunity. Trish kicked Stacy hard chest and sent her through the middle rope and she landed on her leg awkwardly. She held her knee, Randy could see she was in pain; he jumped down of the apron to check on her,
"Are you ok? Do you want me to continue?" He asked helping her up
"I'll bee ok" she answered
She limped over to the ring and slid in. where Trish was waiting and delivered a kick to the back of her neck. Then Trish applied a Half Boston Crab submission move on her already injured leg. Randy had seen enough he got in the ring but at the same time so did Tyson Tomko; he grabbed Randy by the neck and threw him over the top rope and he hit the mat out side the ring with an almighty crash. Several seconds later Randy slowly got up and in doing so his arm gave way and he hit the mat again, he sat up, his shoulder was hurting pretty badly. He looked in the ring to see Tomko setting up Stacy for a Power Bomb. Randy got to his feet and slid in the ring just in time to stop Tyson delivering that Power Bomb. Tomko dropped Stacy who landed on her injured leg once again. He kicked Tomko in the chest and set him up for Randy's finishing move the RKO, when Trish pleaded with Randy no to do it Randy nodded and hit the RKO on Trish instead, then he saw Tomko get to his feet and he also hit Tomko with the RKO as well. Out the corner of his eye, he could see the ref waking up. He looked around for Stacy who was sitting in one of the turnbuckles still holding her knee
"Stace cover her" called out Randy pointing at Trish
Stacy nodded and crawled over to Trish and hooked her leg. The referee got to his feet and saw that Stacy had the cover the counted. 1… 2… 3… "Ring the bell" he called out, and the bell sounded and Stacy's music once again hit the arena "HERE ARE YOU'RE WINNERS!" called out Lillian "THE TEAM OF RANDY ORTON AND STACY KEIBLER!"
Randy helped Stacy to her feet and raised her arm. Randy went over to the ropes and sat on the middle rope so Stacy could get out the ring, she went through the middle rope and she bent over in front of Randy. Randy smirked and followed Stacy who was still limping, Randy took her hand and put it around his shoulder and he put his arm around her shoulder and he helped her walk up the ramp.
Back stage Randy was helping Stacy to the EMT's room
"Randy I'll be fine. All I need is a bag of ice on my knee and I'll be ok" she reassured him
"Well I don't want to be taking any chances ok"
They carried on walking. Stacy hissed.
"What's up?" asked Randy sounding really concerned
"Can we stop a minuet my knee is really starting to hurt" she answered
"Sure" Randy pulled up a chair so Stacy could sit on it. She sat down
"Ow!" she moaned as she sat down. She moved her kneepad and held her knee. She tried to stretch her leg but that made it even worse,
"Come here" said Randy softly. He knelt down in front of her "where dose it hurt?"
"My whole knee," she answered
Randy rubbed her knee. To Stacy's surprise, he had very soft hand and such a gentle touch Stacy just stared at him not saying a word.
"I think you'll be ok" he answered "just stay here for a while" he said getting up, Stacy nodded he sat on the boxes in front of Stacy "Randy?" she asked
"Yeah"
"You no last week when you wanted to ask me something. What was it?"
She looked up at Randy how was staring right back at her. Randy was taken aback by this question.
"Umm…it doesn't matter," he answered coolly
"No tell me I'm curious," she asked again, hoping that it was going to be a question that she wanted to her.
"Randy!" Stacy and Randy both turn around to see Flair walking up to Randy and came in between her and him.
"Hay man you ready?" He asked Randy
"For what?"
"You know. Were going to that new night club down the road, Hunters been talking about it all day, so you coming"
"Yeah why not"
Stacy felt awkward sitting there. She was about to leave
"Hay Stace. Want to come with us?" asked Randy
Stacy was surprised. She wanted to go with him but by the look on Ric Flairs face, he did not really want her to be there.
"No I don't think so, but you have a good time Randy"
She walked off.
"Stacy" Randy called after her. She did not hear "Stacy!" he went after her but Ric stopped him
"Leave her man, come on there's going to be lots of hot lady's out there just waiting for Evolution. Come on let go find Hunter,"
Ric walks off. However, Randy stays there still, watching Stacy until she goes out of sight, Randy looking upset turns around and follows Ric back to Evolutions locker room.
