Chapter 10
The rest of the month passed quickly for Lily. The night after her debut prank, she and Randy were pulled into Theodore Long's office for a nice chat about the terror they had instilled. Lily received a warning that if she ever tried to attempt anything like that while she was still with SmackDown she'd risk her uncle's job. Randy, on the other hand, was threatened with suspension if he was caught throwing things at the other wrestlers or the crew ever again.
Even though the two were warned they still pulled small pranks whenever they could, but nothing to the extent of Lily's debut. For instance, Lily got antsy after an autograph signing she accompanied her uncle to. So, on the bus ride home she stealthily glued the seat fuzz to the top of Kurt Angle's head while he slept. Another time she and Randy slipped a broken scale into Michael 'Simon Dean' Bucci's locker room. Whenever weight was put on it, it would display 350 lbs. on the reel, and he ran out of his locker room and up to the fitness center practically bawling.
On Lily's last night with her uncle and SmackDown the entire roster threw a large goodbye party for her in the hotel ballroom. She attended the party in a black jester's hat with a white skull on it. She wore a tight long sleeve white short, the neckline scooping low to show off her chest. To match she wore a knee length black skirt and black Converses. When she walked in the crowd parted for her and revealed Teddy Long standing in front of two throne-like chairs, Randy in one, a fake crown on his head.
"Lily, walk up to Teddy, he has something for you," Mark whispered in her ear as she looked around, confused.
She nodded and approached Teddy curiously.
"Kneel in front of me, hun," Teddy commanded.
Lily did as she was told, slowly lowering to her knees, still at a loss for words. Teddy took the jesters hat off her head and held out a fake tiara in front of her.
"Tonight is the coronation of the best pranksters in the WWE. Randy, come here, pleya," he motioned for Randy to rise.
When he did Teddy continued, "Randy Orton, will you take Lily Jacobs to be your Queen in Jest for as long as you both shall reign?"
"Yes," Randy nodded.
"And do you, Lily Jacobs, take Randy Orton to be your King in Jest for as long as you both shall reign?"
Lily looked shocked but shrugged, "I do?"
Teddy struggled to hold back a laugh as he handed Randy the tiara. Randy looked lost but took it all the same and moved in front of Lily.
"You may crown your queen, pleya," Teddy smiled.
Randy shrugged and placed the tiara on Lily's head. He then kissed the back of her hand, helping her to her feet and leading her to their 'thrones'. Teddy draped a red cape trimmed with fur around Lily's shoulders before she sat down. Randy stayed on his feet to address the large group of Superstars.
"Ladies and Jestermen, welcome to the Reign of Pranks!"
The group let out a rumble of laughter and Randy continued, "This was kinda last minute so I don't have a speech or anything… How 'bout a trick?"
"No!" Teddy stepped forward, "We have something for you actually."
Lily looked around nervously knowing this was meant to get her back for her premier prank on her first night. She braced herself as the entire group pulled out huge water guns and aimed them at the Royal Pranksters.
"Fire!" Teddy shouted and every single Superstar shot water and different juices at Randy and Lily.
"Ah! Make it stop!" Lily shrieked as she was hit with a blast of grape juice, staining her shirt purple. She flung her cape over herself and Randy, shielding them from the unrelenting shots of juice.
"Thanks for that," Randy smiled, making sure they were both covered by the cape.
"No prob, just let it be over," Lily smiled.
"Okay, now the initiated King and Queen of Pranks and Jests will have their first dance!" Teddy announced, pulling the cape off of Lily and Randy. He motioned for the DJ to kick up a beat and randy offered Lily his arm, getting to his feet.
"They're going to torture us all night," Lily sighed.
"Yep," Randy laughed, leading her into the middle of the room.
The DJ picked a nice, slow song for the two to dance to. Randy pulled Lily close, his hands resting on the small of her back. Lily played along, resting her hands on Randy's shoulders, for she could barely reach his neck. He smiled and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Would you like to stand on my feet?" he asked.
"Shut up," Lily laughed, hitting him playfully.
The two danced to the entire song. When it ended Lily stepped away from Randy and was immediately pulled away from him by Melina.
"What's up, Mel?" she asked curiously.
"You're cell phone went off during the song, that's all. It's John," Melina replied, holding out said phone.
Lily felt her heart skip and she snatched the phone from her quickly, her blue eyes shinning with excitement.
"John?" she said breathlessly.
"Lily! It's about time, what were you doing?" he asked.
"It's a long story," she laughed. "I'll tell you tomorrow when I see you."
"Okay. Have you and Randy been behaving like your father asked?"
"Psh, no, we couldn't help it. I glued fuzz to Kurt's head and took a picture, did you get it?"
"Yeah, I showed it to Mike (Shawn Michaels) and he blew it up to poster size and plastered it all over the locker rooms," John said. "Awesome! So, have you missed me? I know it's not the same without me," Lily laughed.
"My heart ached with each passing day, Lily," he said dramatically. "I craved the sweet nectar of your lips every second."
Lily giggled, "Yeah, right, but it sounded nice."
"What I can't want my girlfriend? I did miss you though," he said seriously.
"I missed you too, I can't wait 'til tomorrow. But then again, I can now that I think about it."
"How so?"
"I know my dad's going to kill me for almost getting my uncle and Randy fired…" Lily trailed.
"How did this come about?"
"It fits in with what I was doing before I answered my phone," Lily explained. "I'll tell you when I see you."
"Alright then—" John started.
"I gotta go, Randy wants me to dance with him again. I'll see you tomorrow!" Lily cut him off.
"Okay, bye," John said.
"Bye."
Lily hung up the phone as Randy pulled her onto the dance floor. She laughed as he pulled her to him. 'I Like That' by Jae Millz was playing and Lily rocked out, pressing her back to Randy's chest as she got into the music. The other Superstars formed a circle around the Royal Jesters as they danced, all cheering for the two friends.
The party didn't end until early the next morning. When Lily finally left it was around two-thirty. Her tiara was crooked from her dancing, her jester hat in her hand as she made her way back to her room. She collapsed on her bed only to be woken up a few hours later to catch the plane to Chicago for Wrestlemania.
