Chapter 5: Knight In Shining Armor
A week passed since the events at the party and Randy's break-up with Stacy. Stacy moved on in the week, she began to date Adam. Randy on the other hand was feeling free. He was having more fun then he used to have. Randy felt Stacy was holding him back, now that she was gone, he could fully evolve. Although Randy was more "free" now, he still had his enemies, Trish still being one of them.
It was Monday again. That meant school was in session. Their special finisher's teacher, Undertaker was out with injury due to a wrestling event so they had to have romance angle class to fill in for the two periods of finisher's class. Trish let out a groan after realizing they had romance angle class four times that day, the original two periods and the two more periods of substitution. Trish was stuck with Randy for half the day. Trish grabbed her bag and headed out the door. She was really wishing she were in the shoes of her best friend right now because luckily Amy had classes for high-flying techniques so she would only have the first two romance classes. Trish didn't apply for them because she didn't think she was going to need high-flying maneuvers. Trish ran to class because she didn't want to serve lunch detention for being late. On her way to class she met up with Chris and John. After talking to Chris, she found out two things that she shocked her. John broke up with Dawn, but they were still friends and the fact that Chris had a crush on Dawn.
"Today we're going to have the male partners in your assigned relationships play knight in shining armor." Vince explained. Randy and Trish groaned. Vince ignored them and continued speaking.
"The pair that does this assignment the best will get a prize." Vince stated. With that said every single person's head shot up in the room.
"What kind of prize?" Randy asked narrowing his eyes.
"The right to switch partners. Now the couple that does this assignment the best can switch themselves to a new partner or switch other couples' partners." Vince stated. Trish and Randy were now on the same page. They had to win that no matter what, for their sakes, they would be able to switch themselves.
"Homie, what exactly do we gotta do?" John asked scratching his head.
"Mr. Cena, finally, that is the smartest thing you asked in the four years you were here." Vince said.
"Is that a compliment or a diss?" John asked seriously. "I'll take it as a compliment." John smiled like a happy five-year-old thinking that he was smart.
"I will explain the assignment as soon as we get to the gym." Vince said. "Follow me, class." As soon as the class lined up, they headed to the gym. When they arrived at the gym, they walked in and stood with their partners around the ring. "Now, the assignment…" Vince grinned evilly.
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Chris Jericho muttered to Amy.
"I never had a good feeling about this." Amy replied.
"The women will be harnessed to the ropes and strings and will be hanging from the top and the men will be competing in a ladder match in which you have save your partner to win. The first person to grab their partner and get her, or in JBL and Rico's case, HIM down wins." Vince said. "Now ladies and Rico, please go to the fifth floor to get tied and ready to be dangling from the ceiling."
The girls and Rico left leaving Randy Orton, Charlie Haas, John Cena, Adam Copeland, Chris Jericho, Dave Batista, Jay Reso, Chris Masters, and JBL. They went to their lockers and picked up their wrestling gear and took turns changing in the locker room. After everyone was settled, they met back at the ring. There were ladders surrounding the ring. Vince was standing in the center of the squared circle. Randy was the first to look up into the air. He saw all the girls and Rico, their hands and feet tied and hung. They were literally dangling from the top. The girls were on top screaming and giggling. Some like Stacy Keibler was terrified of heights, while others like Amy Dumas was having the time of her life. Trish was a mixture of slight fear and slight excitement.
"Oh my god! ADAM! I have a mini-skirt on! You better get me down fast!" Stacy screamed. As soon as she said that, everyone's attention went to Stacy and her mini-skirt. Stacy was having a fit to say the least.
"Oh shut up bitch! You know you like the attention!" Amy shouted. Trish was just laughing. Stacy glared at them.
"Randy, I don't think I can do this. I'm deathly scared of heights…" John muttered to Randy.
"Then don't do it, one less person for me to fight. Then again, if you don't do it, I wonder what Dawn's gonna do to you after school." Randy snickered as he entered the ring.
After a few short words from Vince, the challenge began. Everyone grabbed someone and started throwing punches back and forth as soon as the bells rang. It wasn't too long before the ladders were starting to make their impact in the match. Randy was taking it to Adam. Randy was throwing Adam back and forth while Stacy shrieked from the position she was at. John was dismantling JBL and Batista with a ladder. There was no doubt that the prize was highly sought after. Ladders were beginning to get set-up inside the ring and people were climbing. Adam almost grabbed Stacy down at one point, but he was stopped by Jericho. Blood was pouring and it was raining men every time someone decided to drop a ladder. Randy was down outside the ring. He took a ladder to his stomach and a steel chair shot onto his head. Trish was beginning to worry about Randy. He wasn't moving much, all she noticed were slight twitches from the St. Louis native.
Either John or Jericho were favorites to win the match. With everyone down and out except them too, they were racing to climb up the ladder. John reached Dawn as Jericho started to undo the ropes tied to Amy. Within a second's time, the match was far from over as Adam came back into the match and dropkicked the two ladders that were holding John and Jericho. John grabbed Dawn's arms to try to hold himself up, he too was now dangling in the air. Jericho on the other hand managed to almost untie the ropes, but he went straight into the ring when the ladder beneath him fell, due to Adam Copeland's dropkick. John whimpered as he held on to Dawn for his dear life.
"Don't look down, John!" Dawn shrieked.
"Don't look down… don't look down… don't look down…" John muttered right before he looked down. "I'm looking down! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" John was now crying. Tears streamed down his face as he gripped Dawn tighter and tried so hard to stay still, but he couldn't help, but tremble. Dawn was starting to lose her breath from how hard John's grip was.
For Dawn's own safety, she started to pull John's hands off her so she could breathe. After pulling John's hands off her, John yelled and screamed as he began to fall. Luckily for him, he fell on top JBL's blubbery stomach. John wasn't harmed at all, only traumatized.
Randy got back to his feet. He was still a little zoned out from a direct ladder and chair shot. Randy walked around the corner of the ring and fell victim to a spear from Adam. Things were definitely not looking good. Now that everyone was knocked down in different places, Adam got on the ladder and started climbing under Stacy. Stacy happened to be hanging right beside Trish. Adam got on the final step and grabbed Stacy's foot and started extricating the ropes and strings attached to her. Adam was going to win. All the other girls could do nothing but watch in horror. The guys were just lying there bloody and battered, staring up at the lights. Adam was almost about done when someone grabbed his foot and pulled hard. Adam's legs fell on each side of the ladder as he fell hard on his groin. The poor guy got the hardest low blow in the world. Stacy screamed louder. She was angry and terrified. Adam tumbled backwards and fell down the ladder holding his groin. It was obvious he wasn't going to be back in the match. Randy emerged up the steps after pulling Adam. Randy stood on the top of the ladder. Blood streamed down his face like a fountain and his blue eyes were the only other color noticeable on his face aside from the red blood. Randy rested on the ladder for a couple seconds to catch his breath. He wiped away some of the blood so he could see. He saw Stacy right above him and Trish beside her. Right then Randy had two intentions: vengeance and victory. Randy grabbed Stacy and started pushing her back and forth. Stacy screamed, as she swung back and forth, terrified.
"Stop! STOP!" Stacy screamed. "Please, STOP!" Stacy was now dying in fear as all the other girls laughed. At this point none of them cared whether or not Randy and Trish were going to win, the girls were all happy Adam and Stacy weren't. Even Dawn was laughing. After Randy had his fun swinging Stacy back and forth somewhere between 15 and 20 feet up in the air, he pushed her aside and quickly disentangled Trish from the ropes and got her down on his shoulder. Stacy who was now raging with anger decided to get Randy back. As she swung back towards Randy, she kicked his back causing Randy to fall with Trish underneath him. If he didn't do something fast, Trish would get the full effects of the fall and a 245 pound guy dropped on top of him. On top of both of that, she still had an injured shoulder. As they fell closer to the ring mat, Randy grabbed Trish's arms and pulled her close to him and then quickly flipped them both over in a matter of milliseconds. Randy fell on his back with Trish on top of him. He had one them the match and the right to switch partners. He couldn't hear it but all the girls on top were clapping except Stacy. Randy smiled slightly before he faded away. His amount of blood lost and aching body couldn't hold back any longer. Randy fell unconscious as Trish quickly started wiping the blood off him. Vince came by them and quickly congratulated them before getting some staff members to take Randy back to the locker room. Trish hurried beside them. After getting him cleaned up, Randy awoke a bit later. His body still ached, but he was feeing a little better. They returned to the classroom. Everyone was anticipating their return back to the room.
"Well let's congratulate Mr. Orton and Miss Stratus for winning the challenge." Vince said as Randy cockily bowed and said 'thank you' despite his aching body. If Trish learned one thing about Randy, it was that he never gave up a chance to be cocky and brash. Vince continued speaking. "They have the ability to switch partners now." Vince turned to Randy and Trish and asked whether or not they decided whom to choose. Randy was waiting for this moment for a long time. He and Trish wanted new partners and this was the time to get their new partners. They wouldn't be working together anymore. It's what Randy wanted. It's what Trish wanted. Randy was about to state his new partner when he glanced over at Trish. Those funny feelings he got back that night at the party were rushing back to him. Somehow he didn't want to switch partners anymore.
"Well Mr. Orton, you have one switch and Miss Stratus has one switch and remember you can switch yourselves or anyone else." Vince said matter-of-factly. Randy looked at Trish and then back at the whole class. He shook his thoughts out of his head. He was going to switch partners and that was final. He didn't want Trish, or so he thought. Just then, he peered over at Stacy. He could group up with her and make her life a living hell, but he thought of one better.
"I've decided. I'm going to break up the couple of Stacy and Adam. I want Stacy to be paired up with Rico and Adam ends up with JBL." Randy smirked as the class broke down into laughter. Stacy screamed and screamed as Adam roared with rage. Trish on the other hand, was shocked that Randy didn't switch himself.
"I'm going to breakup Amy and Jericho. Jericho is going to be paired up with Dawn, leaving Amy and John." Trish said as Jericho gave her a 'you're the best' look. Amy on the other hand wasn't very pleased with having John. She didn't care though. She was just taking the stupid class for fun. It didn't mean anything to her.
"Alright. Please proceed to your new partners." Vince said as Stacy stomped over beside Rico. "I'll see you later today, class is dismissed." Everyone packed up and left. Trish hurried out of the room with Randy right behind her.
"Trish, wait!" Randy called. "Why didn't you switch us?"
"I could ask you the same thing." Trish replied.
"I just didn't see myself paired up with anyone else." Randy told her quietly.
"Well, I hope you feel better. Vince did say you could go back to your place since you fell so hard." Trish said before walking away. Randy grabbed her hand.
"Do you want to come with me?" Randy asked. Trish looked at him with disbelief and laughed. "What?" Randy asked.
"Bye, Randy." Trish said as she continued to walk.
"Wait, where are you going? Why don't you wanna come?" Randy asked.
"The offer was for you to go home, not me." Trish simply replied with turning around. Randy laughed.
"It's not like you never cut class before. If I remember correctly, you did it on the first day of school." Randy said.
"We're enemies. You hate me, I hate you. That's the way it's supposed to be." Trish said. "I'm just some kinda slut and bitch to you."
"No… you're not." Randy whispered, but Trish was already gone by then.
