Chapter 19: Sweet Karma

"The defendent is found not guilty on all charges." The Judge ruled.

Everyone on Randy's sighed cheered and jumped for joy. His parents were all ready sittiing in the front row, with Randy's dad cussing him out very chance he got. Randy turned to Nikki.

"Can't you clean my record like you did at my court martial before?" Randy asked.

Nikki told him to wait. Nikki stood up. "Ma'm, is there a possible way to clean Mr. Orton's record?"

"That's preposterous." Prince William commented.

"Shut up dork!" John yelled.

"Why don't you?" Trish whispered out loud to John. John then sat down.

"Yes. What do you suggest?" the Judge asked.

"Community service perhaps?" Nikki suggested.

"All right. I allow it. I need the community service completed in 1 month. I need it back with me then." The judged banged the gavel. "Case dismissed."

Nikki smiled at Randy. She pulled him out of his seat and gave him a hug.

"Dammit Nikki. I thought you were going to kiss me there for a moment." Randy paused and smiled. "Will you kiss me?"

Nikki pushed Randy. "You just ruined the moment." Nikki walked away.

John and Trish laughed, who were on their way over to Randy. "Yo homie, don't do that again." John laughed.

Nikki walked over to the Prince. "Ah... Sweet, sweet karma. I love it, don't you?"

Prince William frowned. "Shut up. He only won because you're a good lawyer."

Nikki dropped her jaw. "Excuse me? You hired one of THE best lawyers in the world! Law isn't even my major! What the hell are you talking about?"

Prince William didn't answer.

"Look, just stay away from us, your parents are already plenty angry. And probably this shoulda already taught you not to mess with me." Nikki looked at Prince William straight in the eye. "Because when I know I am right, I'll go out of my way to prove I am right. You heard?"

Prince William nodded in fear and ran out the court room.

Randy joined Nikki. "So, scared him off?"

Nikki nodded. "We probably won't be seeing him in a while."

"A while!" Randy exclaimed.

"It's not like he's going to stay away forever. He's got his priorities, and we've got ours." Nikki waved to Becky.

Becky brought Mr. and Mrs. Orton over to Randy. "You're in trouble dumbass."

Randy made a face.

"Randy, you're grounded." Mr. Orton declared. "Get you belongings because you're coming home."

Randy tried to talk. "But --"

"NOW." Mr. Orton said.

Randy kicked himself but then accidentally kicked the chair. "Shit!"

Nikki and John and Trish laughed. Becky hesitated.

John left the court room to start the car ouside, then Nikki and Trish soon followed. Randy and the Ortons left as well, but Randy not at all satisfied.

1 Month Later in Boise, Idaho...

"I am SOO glad I'm off the grounded and community service thing. I hated working at my mom's hospital. Ick." Randy shivered.

"Well, you survived." Nikki took a bite of pizza. "How come you never moved out?"

"I've been asking myself that same question for 3 years already. I just can't seem to leave that's why." Randy began to eat his burger.

"Memories?" Nikki asked.

"Mm-hmm." Randy nodded. "Everything positive in my life happened there, I guess that's why i can't leave."

Nikki nodded.

"How come you left Malibu? That estate is perfect. I wouldn't leave it." Randy added.

"Yeah, I guess it is. I love that place too, but if I lived there the rest of my life, I'd get tired of it. So when I come home every now and then, I have everything to look forward to." Nikki drank her water.

"Nice." Randy complimented. "Just curious, does your parents own any other land across the country?"

"Yeah,they have an awesome moutain manor up in Aspen.They have a villa in Venice. Another estate in Yorkshire, England. Let's see... They own an island off the Caribbean, one in Canada, another estate in Russia. Oh! And a huge island in the Philippines." Nikki said.

Randy looked at Nikki in amazement. "Wow... Do you ever visit them?"

"Sometimes, my parents go there more than us siblings go. But I've been to the one in Aspen and Yorkshire more than others." Nikki answered.

"Damn. You guys are rich." Randy replied.

"Thanks. But the money I have now are what I earned myself, other than the ones my parents had given me after college." Nikki commented.

"Cool. C-O-O-L." Randy commented back.

"I think she knows how to spell "cool" homie." John joined then at the table. Trish soon followed with shopping bags.

"Hey John and Trish, how was shopping?" Nikki looked at the bags. "It must've gone well. Why didn't you carry the bags John?"

"She isn't my boo." John answered.

"So what?" Nikki and Trish said.

"Even though she isn't your "boo", you should still carry the bags for her. Be a gentleman John." Randy said.

"See? At least moron here knows what we mean." Trish said.

Randy beamed. "Thanks! Hey!"

They all started to laugh.

"So... How was shopping?" Randy asked Trish and John.

John pointed at Trish and yelled, "ASK HER! SHE TORTURED ME BY MAKING ME FOLLOW HER EVERYWHERE AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN BUY ME ONE THING!"

"Damn John SHUT UP." Nikki complained.

Trish pulled out a small bag. "I bought you gum."

John forgot his temper and grabbed the bag. Then stuffed the whole packet of gum into his mouth.

"Wow. You do realize that that is very fattening." Randy declared.

John nodded and held his cheeks. Chewing hard on the gum caused his cheeks to hurt.

"Anyway, so... You ready for RAW tonight?" Trish asked Randy.

"Yeah, I've got that storyline with Mick Foley. Man, I love it so far." Randy answered. "And Hunter's been giving me hints too. He's truly the dirtiest player in the game today."

John snapped out of holding his cheeks. "So that's where you've been getting your dirty tactics from?"

Randy looked puzzled. "Are my techniques really dirty tactics?"

The 3 nodded.

Randy took another bite of his burger and changed the subject.

------- Later that Day...

"I HAVE A NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH AGAINST MICK FOLEY! DAMN ME!" Randy screamed with joy backstage. "Damn am I good."

"Yes... You are indeed." Hunter walked up to Randy.

Randy thank him.

"How about a bargain. I've gotten you this far with my tutorials, and now I want you to listen up." Hunter said and Randy focused. "If you win this match, Flair and I will continue to be your mentor. If you lose, our services are no longer available. We can only teach the better who want to be the best. You listening?"

Randy nodded and said, "You won't be disappointed. I'm gonna make you proud."

Hunter started to walk away. "Yeah... You do that."

------ At the Suite...

"You said WHAT!" Nikki started to cry from laughing so much.

"He said -- he said -- he said -- hahaha!" John sputtered out words but couldn't clear it up.

Trish stood up to imitate Randy, "Imma make you proud, myah myah myah!" Trish laughed up and fell onto the bed.

"What so funny about that?" Randy asked.

John resisted from laughing, and managed to get ou a few words, "It isn't, haha, funny at all, but, hah! What you said, hahaha! Is so freakin' damn, hahah... pathetic!" John crunched his stomach.

Nikki had started to snort. "Oh gosh... Hmm!" She started to slow down.

Trish settled down, "So... How you going to get ready? It's your first major event, whatcha gonna do?"

John added, "... When they come for you. Bad boy, bad boy, Whatcha gon' do! Whatcha gon' do when they come for you!"

The other 3 stared at John in a strange and awkward way.

"Ehemm... Excuse me. That was umm... A moment." John replied to their blank stares.

"Random." Nikki commented.

"Totally." Trish scoffed.

"So... This is what I'm gonna do..." Randy trailed off talking about his plans for the event.

Nikki started to daydream. Hmm... I LOVE my job... my life... And myfriends. Then she stared, amazed at Randy.
