Unfinished Business
Summary: Lita and Trish – one of the most memorable feuds in WWE history. One that lasted even through their daughters, Alex and Taryn, who were once best friends…until a simple, friendly sleepover got in the way, and flames grew in their eyes. Is a WWE match between the two for the Women's title the only thing that can stop this feud, or will it go on and on till death? RnR to find out!
Disclaimer: I own Alex, Taryn, Haylie, and any other character you haven't heard of. The rest are owned by the WWE.
A/N: Christian is Taryn's dad. That's where her last name, Reso, came from. When her dad left, Trish changed her last name back to Stratus, but because Taryn was born to both of them she kept her dad's last name. Make sense? Good!
Chapter 1 – The Sleepover That Started it All
"Mom!" Alex yelled. "Are you going to drive me to school, or not!"
She was standing by the front door of their luxurious mansion, tapping her foot impatiently, as Amy came running down the stairs.
"Alex, I am coming, honey. Chill. Go get in the car, while I go grab myself a coffee!"
Alexis Christine Hardy, otherwise known as Alex was 13. She was just another typical teenager - she had a lot of friends, and was popular. Not for being the daughter of professional wrestlers, but because of her caring, and sensitive personality.
As she sat in the car, waiting for her mom to drive her to school, she got a phone call from her best friend, Taryn Reso.
"Hello?"
"Hey Girlie! Whatcha doin?" Taryn was really perky, and always made Alex smile.
"I'm just waiting in the car for my mom. Why are you calling me? I am like, 5 minutes from seeing you in homeroom!"
"I couldn't help it! I am sooo excited! I have two really great things that happened to me today!" she squealed again, and Alex actually had to hold her cell phone away from her ear so Taryn wouldn't blow out her eardrums.
"Already? Two 'great' things happened to you already? It isn't even 8:00!"
"Well, first, you know that high schooler, Scott, that goes to my bus stop before me? Well, he asked me out this morning before he got on his bus! I came out a little earlier to talk to him, and he asked me from his bus before it pulled away!"
"Oh my gosh, what did you say?" Alex looked up and saw her mom run out of the house, and get into the car. They immediately drove away.
"I said yes, you ditz! Duh! But don't tell my mom. You know I am not allowed to date until I am 15…" The two girls started to laugh.
"I won't."
"And the other thing was that my mom said I could have a sleepover for my birthday tomorrow, since it is Saturday, and you are invited! This will give our moms finally a chance to meet!" Taryn said with an exasperated sigh.
"I know, it's like fate. They were never destined to meet each other or something!"
"Ever since my dad left us, though, my mom has been somewhat down in the dumps, and hasn't let me go anywhere…"
"Hey…sorry you had to bring that up…"
"It's no biggie, I'm over that loser. But I have to go now. My bus is here. Bye!" and with that she hung up. This gave Alex a chance to ask her mom.
"Mommy dearest that I love so much…"
But she was cut off. "What do you want?"
"I want to go to Taryn's sleepover tomorrow night. You and her mom haven't met yet, and this would be a great opportunity! Also, I can have fun in the process…What more could you want?"
"Ooh, I want to make you stay home instead of going, so you can suffer!" She laughed.
"I'm not kidding! Please?"
"Fine…you can go. I am really anxious to meet her mom." Amy smiled back at her, and they continued the short drive to Alex's school.
NEXT DAY – THE SLEEPOVER
"Alex! You're here!" Taryn screamed, and ran towards Alex. She had just gotten out of her minivan, and her mom was slowly making her way out as well. The two 8th graders hugged for a brief moment, before Amy approached them, very slowly. She was staring at Taryn, and as soon as she realized what she was doing, she looked around, looking for her mom.
"Mom, this is Taryn Reso, Tare this is my wonderful mommy who let me come!"
Once Taryn's full name was mentioned, Amy's face paled, and Alex's voice faded away. Trish Stratus, Taryn's mother, walked out the front door, with a smile on her face. That smile soon faded, and the two mothers were stopped dead in their tracks glaring at each other.
"Mrs. Hardy? Why are you and my mother staring at each other? Do you know each other or something?" Taryn and Alex were beginning to get scared, seeing as though Amy's and Trish's noses were only inches apart, and the look in their eyes could have killed.
Alex and Taryn were just staring at the two women, when Haylie Orton, Randy and Stacy's daughter walked out the door of the house. "Haylie, come here!" Taryn begged. Haylie, looking very confused, raked a hand through her blonde hair as she slowly stepped out of the 3 story mansion. She also stared at the two mothers on her way to her friends.
The girls just stood there. Alex was about to speak up, and break the two moms apart, but Trish spoke up first.
"Alex, Taryn, Haylie…go inside please. Alex's mother and I have some unfinished business to handle…" The girls nodded and ran to the front door, and closed it.
"Don't you dare tell my daughter what to do…"
"My house, my rules." Trish stated as-a-matter-of-factly.
They stared into each other's eyes, as if trying to stare down the devil. Amy and Trish were just about to throw some punches, but what they didn't know was that Haylie, Taryn, and Alex were watching them from the front porch.
"Mom! Mrs. Hardy! Stop! What is going on with you two?" Taryn screamed running at them.
"We'll finish this later." Amy whispered to Trish. "Alex! Let's go! We're going home!"
"What! We can't! Just because you have issues with Taryn's mom doesn't mean anything! Taryn and I are best friends, and really wanted to go to this sleepover! It's not fair, mommy!"
Everyone just stood in silence. "Fine…you can stay. But if anything goes wrong, and if anything happens, don't hesitate to call. And Patricia, if anything at all happens to my daughter, I will personally hold you accountable." After she gave Alex a big hug and kiss, she walked to her car without looking back, and drove away.
Meanwhile, at the house, everyone had just gone inside, and the sleepover that started it all had just begun.
LATER THAT NIGHT
"Hey guys, my mom just went to bed so we have to keep it down now." Taryn said as she was walking down the stairs to the luxurious basement. Haylie and Alex were already down there, pigging out on chips.
"So, what was up with your moms earlier? It kinda freaked me out…I have never in my life seen your moms like that. And I have seen both of them thousands of times!" Haylie said. She was very tall, and thin, with long blonde hair, with the curiosity of her father, and the sweet, caring personality of her mother.
"I don't know…whatever it was, it was really deep. Maybe we should talk about their pasts that we know of, and try to find out what happened. It is killing me! I really want to know." She raked a hand through her brown locks, and sighed.
"Well, they could have met while my mom was touring. Your mom could have been a fan or something…" Taryn said, playing with her dirty blonde hair.
"A fan? Touring? Was your mom a singer or something?" Alex questioned.
"Guys, I am gonna go to the bathroom, fill me in on what you find out when I get back!" Haylie walked off.
"No, my mom, and dad, actually, were professional wrestlers. I don't really like to talk about it because my mom said it was rough time for her, and I don't want anyone to judge me by thinking I am bragging or something.
"Are you kidding? My parents were professional wrestlers, too! Haylie's parents as well! I'm sure you already knew that, because you said your mom talked to Mr. Orton when he dropped Haylie off. But man…that's scary! Haylie's parents, my parents, AND your parents. Maybe they all worked together in the WWE! That is so cool, Tare! How come you never told me before?"
"Like I said, it isn't just something I would bring up all of a sudden. Then people would think I was bragging."
"Whoa. This is so scary, but also totally awesome! Lets look them up online, or something. If they were famous at one point, then they should be on there!"
"Great idea!"
While they were looking them up, Haylie came back, and was filled in.
"Bingo…Says here that WWE wrestlers, Amy Dumas, otherwise known as Lita, and Trish Stratus had a very intense relationship. They were once friends, but ended up mortal enemies. The final straw that broke the camel's back, was when Lita was forced into marrying the monster, Kane, and was soon impregnated by him. Trish constantly made jokes, and during their 'wedding,' Trish crashed the party, and the two got into a fight. Their constant need for the Women's Championship, and their competitive spirits drove them over the edge." Alex read. Taryn and Haylie listened with great interest, and Taryn had a growing hatred towards her mother.
Alex read on, until the article was finished, and then turned her tear-filled eyes to the other girls.
"I don't even believe it…My own mother…" Taryn said with disbelief.
"I never knew your mom could be so mean! She must be a really cold hearted person to do something like that!" Alex exclaimed. Taryn stared at her.
"Hey, Alex, don't talk about my mom like that! It said later on in the article that Amy started it!"
"It doesn't matter who started it, Tare. What your mom did was really cruel."
"Oh, shut up, you two!" Haylie cried out.
"Stay out of this, Haylie." Taryn commanded.
"Alex, you have no frickin' right to talk about her like that!"
"Oh, and you have the right to talk about mine?"
"About your mom being a slut? A whore? A freak? Oh, yeah…that's where you get it from…"
"Shut up, Taryn! Before I knock those teeth right out of your trashy mouth!"
"Make me, beyotch."
And that was it. Alex lunged at her. Hair mixed together, fists were thrown, noses started to bleed, and Trish watched it all from the stairs. After a minute of trying to pull the two apart, Haylie yelled for Trish. Trish came towards them, and pulled the two apart. Haylie held Alex, and Trish held Taryn. Taryn had scratches everywhere, and a bite mark on her wrist. Alex had a bloody nose, with scratches.
"Girls! What the hell happened here? Alex, explain your self!"
"It wasn't my fault, Mrs. Stratus, Taryn started it."
"Now how come I don't believe that…After all, you are your mother's daughter!" The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"Alex, I think you should leave. I'm sorry Haylie, but you too."
"I would rather die than stay here any longer. Oh, and by the way, Taryn is dating a high schooler. His name is Scott Richards. She sees him every morning at the bus stop." Taryn stared at her with hatred and disbelief. As Alex packed her stuff, she called her mom from her cell phone. Haylie started to pack too, and told her mom she would be staying at Alex's house.
"Why are you going over there? I thought you were staying at Taryn's?" Stacy questioned.
"I was…But then Alex and Taryn got into a fight. You know how Alex's mom is one of your best friends, and went by the name Lita? Well…Taryn's mom is Trish Stratus. We looked them up on the internet, and then they started arguing over whose fault the fight between their moms was. Taryn is upstairs with her mom now, and me and Alex are packing."
"Trish Stratus? Oh man…did they meet when Alex was dropped off?"
"Yep…"
"Oh my goodness…Does Amy know you are staying over there…?"
"Alex asked her, yeah. And she said that's fine. She wants to hear two opinions about this thing, and doesn't want our night ruined because of Mrs. Stratus and Taryn."
"Oh, I see…well, I have to go see what's wrong with Kimmie and Carly. You know how 7 year old twins are. Always getting hurt…"
"Yeah I know…Love you, mommy! Tell my sisters I said goodnight, and that I love them. And daddy too!"
"Okay hun. Bye."
Haylie hung up her pink cell phone, and asked Alex if she was ready.
"Yep, you?"
"Yep…Come with me to the bathroom, you need to put pressure on your nose. Once I am done helping you get cleaned up we will go outside and wait for your mom, okay?"
"Okay…thanks Haylie. Now I really know who my best friend is…" Haylie blushed.
"Thanks, Lex. I do too…"
