Chapter 9

Lily arrived at the arena with her uncle and innocently followed him to his locker room as she was supposed to. Randy arrived alone and got right into his usual routine, so as not to appear suspicious.

"Hey, Uncle Mark, I'm gonna run to the bathroom real quick, okay?" Lily said, moving to the locker room door.

"That's fine, I'm not scheduled to fight tonight so you're free to mingle with the Superstars," Mark replied from a back room.

"Cool," Lily smiled, swinging the door open and leaving the room, letting it snap shut behind her.

As she made her was down the hall toward the bathroom someone grabbed her wrist, surprising her, and pulled her into darkness. Lily let out a surprised yelp and then she saw nothing but black. A person was pressed against her in the tiny space and she could tell it was a man. The light snapped on suddenly and Lily winced at the sudden brightness. When her vision cleared she looked up into the face of her companion.

"Creative way of getting my attention, Randy," she smiled.

"Hey, I had to get you somehow," he laughed.

"Is everything set?" Lily asked, her tone serious.

Randy nodded and smiled, "They might fire me for this one, but it's all set up. Oh this is gonna be great!"

"Relax Randy, anything could go wrong in a second, let's hope that doesn't happen."

"It won't, I made sure of that," Randy assured her.

Lily nodded, "Okay, let's get this show on the road!"

Lily left the closet first and made her way to catering to grab a sandwich before the broadcast began. Randy passed her at the table as she snacked on chips and winked before sitting down at a table with Mike Mizanin.

Before Lily left catering she glanced at Randy, who happened to be watching her. When their eyes met he flashed her a perfect smile and gave her thumbs up underneath the table. She smiled back and waved to Mike before turning her back on them and making her way down the hall to her uncle's locker room.

Mark was sprawled out on his couch watching the beginning of the taping. He glanced at Lily as she walked in and frowned at the mischievous gleam in her blue eyes.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"Nothing," she sang sweetly, plopping on the couch with him.

"Lily Marie," he warned.

"Okay, you'll see at some point during the broadcast."

Mark shook his head and the two watched the TV, Lily eager to see her and Randy's work go perfectly, Mark ready to defend his job at any moment. The first sign of Lily's prank began toward the middle of the show. The camera had followed JBL into his locker room. As he opened the door he let out a yell as various types of weights fell toward him from all directions. He opened his mouth to say something but a plastic arm swung down from the ceiling, smacking him over the mouth.

Lily roared with laughter as he turned to face the camera, a large piece of duck tape over his mouth with the words 'Stop flapping your gums!' written on it. Mark couldn't help but smile at his niece's cleverness, he'd been wondering when someone would take the bold step and tell him to shut up and discover a gym.

"Ha-ha, keep watching there's more," Lily giggled as the broadcast went to commercial.

"Oh my," Mark sighed, wondering what else Lily could possibly have done.

As the show came back from commercial Booker T was in the ring with Sharmell. He had just won his match. The crowd was a mixture of cheers and boos, but it was quieter than usual, as if they were waiting for something. Sure enough, as the couple headed up the ramp a massive amount of worms and mud fell on them. Sharmell shrieked and struggled to get out of the muddy mess while Booker slipped, falling flat on his ass.

Mark turned to Lily as the crowd roared, "Was that your doing or Marty's?"

"Let's just say it was a group collaboration," Lily smiled.

Randy came bursting into the room, still laughing at the beginning of their prank. He pulled Lily into a happy hug, spinning her around.

"It's going so well!" he beamed, he looked as if he wanted to kiss her he was so happy.

"Here, sit, we can watch the rest," Lily smiled, making her uncle move over for Randy.

"If I get fired because of this, I'll kill you, Orton," Mark grumbled.

At that moment there was a shriek on the TV and Melina, Krystal and Jillian rushed out of their locker room, all three looking absolutely mortified. Lily giggled as the camera went into the locker room to reveal large fake rats all over the place. The camera man bent down and picked one up, yelping at the squishy feel to it.

"Wait, there's more, i-in the bathroom," Jillian said, pointing to the bathroom from behind the camera.

Randy's smile widened as the camera zoomed in on the bathroom. There were gummy eyeballs in the sink and he had replaced the hand soap with a mixture if tartar sauce, mustard, and cucumber in a blender.

"look what it did to my hands!" Melina complained her hands a gross grey color, and her skin sticky and goopy.

Lily burst into peals of laughter and Randy mock bowed as Mark shook his head in horror. He was watching the broadcast though his fingers, knowing he was bound to get fired after this stunt.

The rest of the broadcast went smoothly, or at least, that's what everyone thought until just before the main event, a tag match between Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit vs. Randy, JBL and Mark Henry. Lily had accompanied Randy to his locker room so she could stretch her legs. They passed Mark's locker room to the sound of him yelling. Lily got curious and poked her head in to see mark yelling at Daivari for stuffing his bag with women's lingerie.

Lily snickered and motioned for a cameraman to tape what was going on. Mark was holding a pink, lace thong in one hand, and a matching purple lace bra in the other. She left the scene giggling and caught up with Randy in his locker room.

"Did you do that?" Lily asked, her back to him as she walked into his locker room.

"Do what?" Randy asked, Lily didn't see, but he was in the middle of getting changed into his ring attire, a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Stuff Mark's bag with women's lingerie," Lily replied, finally looking at him. She noticed he was only half dressed and blushed, "Oh, sorry I'll just—"

"No, it's okay, I'm done," randy assured her, removing the towel to reveal his trunks, a guilty smile on his face.

"You're unbelievable, you know that?" Lily smirked, pushing him playfully.

"I know, and yes, I switched Mark's bag with the one containing lingerie.

Lily nodded, running out of things to say. Randy watched her as her ice blue eyes darted around the room awkwardly.

"Hey, how 'bout you come out with me, to the ring," he suggested.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, you can see me in live action!" he laughed.

Lily smiled, biting her lower lip, "I dunno, I don't think John would be too happy, considering I'm his girlfriend…" she trailed.

Randy's smile faded and he nodded knowingly, "Yeah, I guess you're right.. He's want you in his corner before you grace SmackDown in mine."

"Don't male me feel guilty, I hate that."

"Sorry," he said, his smile returning. "Oh well, the crowd loved the tricks, they might want an encore."

"I'll take care of that, don't worry," Lily assured him, an evil gleam in her eyes.

Randy opened his mouth to ask what it would be but she just pushed him out of the locker room. He shook his head and headed to the curtain while Lily set to work.

As scripted the six man tag match was a no contest, for all six men attacked each other at the same time. Lily missed most of the match for she was occupied with her encore prank after the broadcast was over. She pulled Randy into his locker room quickly informing him of her plan.

The scheming pair climbed up into the Plexiglas shards above the ramp as the other five from the main event were leaving the ring. Lily handed Randy a large bucket, filled to the brim with filled water balloons. Each balloon contained a sticky substance that Lily had snuck from catering.

The first balloon Lily dropped exploded on JBL's head. It had been filled with melted caramel. Randy dropped one filled with whipped cream on Mark Henry's head.

Lily commenced in emptying her bucket on the wrestlers and various crew members who came out to clean up the mess. Randy waited patiently as the stragglers of the crowd stopped to watch. He began to pelt the balloons at the people closest to him, saving his last balloon for a special someone.

"I think that went well," Lily nodded ten minutes later as she, Randy and Mark left the arena.

"Not quite," Randy smiled.

Both Lily and Mark turned to him, their expressions completely shocked and surprised. Randy's smile widened and he popped his last balloon, filled with sticky toffee and vanilla icing, over Mark's head.

Lily doubled over laughing as Mark stopped walking in the middle of the parking lot. He slowly removed the sticky substance from his eyes, glaring at Randy, who was supporting an almost crying Lily.

"Now I think it went perfect," Randy smiled, his arm around Lily's waist as she laughed.

You're gonna get it kid!" Mark growled and chased the two pranksters to his car angrily.
