Chapter 3. Jessie and John made their way downstairs after John had gotten 'dressed'. When they got to the living room they saw Randy sitting on the couch watching tv. He still wasn't dressed in anything but his boxer briefs either, making Jessie groan inwardly. It was going to be so hard sitting around these guys, with them wearing nothing but boxer briefs. She knew John was her dad, but she had always had a crush on him and Randy. It was hard to quit crushing on John now that she knew he was her dad. She knew that once it set in, and she was used to being around him and having him in the dad role, the feelings would pass. "Jessie, I noticed that you only had a small duffle bag of clothes, and it didn't seem like you had a lot. Why don't you, me and Randy go eat breakfast at IHOP and go to the mall and shop?" John asked, looking over at Jessie from where he was slumped on the couch next to Randy."Ok that sounds cool" Jessie said, not really looking forward to it. Jessie had never been shopping for anything besides groceries before, and she didn't know what to expect."Cool. Ok so why don't you go up and get a shower and get dressed, and Randy and I will shower and dress in my room and we'll go." John said standing up and hauling Randy to his feet. He went over and extended a hand to help Jessie up. She took it and pulled herself off the couch. Once Jessie was in her bathroom taking a shower John pulled Randy to his room. "Ok" John said "tell me about this dream Jessie had last night. She told me it was bad and she couldn't even talk about it so spill Orton."Randy looked kind of shocked at John's forcefulness but started talking. "Well I woke up when I heard this scream. Man it kinda sucked, cause I was having this dream I was on an island. Jessica Simpson and Tyra Banks were on it too, and we didn't have clothes and well one thing lead to another." Randy trailed off when he saw John's look of death. "Oh yea Jessie right. Well when I heard the scream, I shot out of bed. I ran to her room, and saw her thrashing around and moaning like she was in pain. Well I sat on her bed and tried to shake her awake. She pushed at me a few times, and finally woke up and started crying on my chest. Once she was calmed down she told me about the dream. Apparently, it was reliving the wreck she was in with her mom, but you were there and died also. Oh and there was this guy on a cell phone, and she tried to get him to help, but he turned around and it was the guy that hit them." When Randy was finished he looked a little somber. He couldn't believe that Jessie had gone through so much in such a few hours.John was shocked when Randy finished. He didn't know what to say or do. He wanted to go and grab Jessie and just give her a big hug, but he figured that if he rushed in in the middle of her shower, that she would kill him. After the somber mood passed, John and Randy took turns showering and dressing. Both just wore jeans and T's. It was a warm day out, and they wanted to be as comfortable as possible. They exited the room when they were completely dressed. They walked down to the living room, and were surprised to see Jessie sitting on the couch fully ready. She had on a Batista shirt and jeans with a cool design on the legs. "Dang girl you get ready fast" Randy said sitting beside her on the couch. She looked over at him and smiled."Never been a stickler for getting ready. I just do what I gotta do and get done. I don't spend hours upon hours doing every little thing perfectly." Jessie smiled at Randy's look of fake shock."Dang then I'mma have to work on that. I can't have a girl spend less time getting ready than me" Randy smiled at her to let her know he was joking."Yea right Orton you ain't gonna cut your time getting ready. If you can't spend time on your precious hair then you'd die." John cut in from the back of the couch. Jessie and Randy had forgotten John was there. Randy smirked and looked up at John."I'm no worse about my hair than you are about which sports jersey your gonna wear." Randy said gesturing to John's Atlanta Braves baseball jersey. Jessie knew where this was going, and decided to nip it in the bud before it escalated."Boys, I'm wasting away to nothing here while you two are bickering. Can we go?" Jessie asked smirking, or at least trying to. "Did she just call us boys?" John asked looking at Randy, a small smile on his face. Randy simply nodded, a smile of his own on his face, as if he read John's mind, and knew what he was thinking "Well then I think we need to show her we ain't boys." Jessie didn't know what they were up to, but she knew it wasn't good. She ran as fast as she could outside. She ran to John's car, got in the backseat and locked the doors. She smiled at the guys as they came to the car. John took something out of his pocket and held it up. THE KEY! He unlocked the door and got in."Well now that were all in the car, we can go eat and then shop" He said sliding the key into the ignition, as Randy got in the passenger side. Jessie didn't know what was going on, but she knew that the issue wasn't over. They would get her back someway, somehow. The ride to IHOP was filled with John and Randy bickering over the radio station. Finally John told Jessie to pick something. She leaned up to the front seat and fiddled with the radio. She decided to screw with them and found a station playing classical music, leaving it on that. She saw the looks on their faces, and to their credit their poker faces were really good, but she knew that they had to be hating it. They didn't say anything though. After about 5 minutes Jessie couldn't stand it anymore. She reached up and turned the station to a hard rock one. Randy and John busted out laughing."I was wondering when you'd crack. I knew we wouldn't, I mean come on classical? We've been to enough McMahon functions that classical music doesn't even make us flinch anymore. If you wanted to make us crack, you shoulda changed it to like country or adult contemporary" Randy said looking back at Jessie. Jessie didn't know how to retort, so she just stuck her tongue out at him.They pulled up at IHOP a short time later. Jessie hopped out of the car and waited on Randy and John who took their time. 'Old men' Jessie jokingly thought with a smile. They finally got out of the car, and all three of them made their way inside. Jessie noticed that Randy and John didn't wear any kind of disguise. She figured they would so they wouldn't be recognized. She shrugged it off. They went in and no one was waiting to be seated, so they got seated immediately. The waitress was an older lady, and acted like she didn't want to be there. She flung the menus down and walked away."Well isn't she a ray of sunshine" John said sarcastically, when the waitress was out of ear shot. Jessie and Randy both laughed and nodded their heads. The waitress came back a few minutes later and took their orders. After she left John, Randy and Jessie made small talk.A short time later the waitress brought their food. She smacked the plates on the table along with the drinks, and left without another word. When she had gone, the three switched plates so that they had their right meals. After they ate and Randy got the tab, they made their way back to the car. "Hey Jessie sit shotgun, you need to be by your dad" Randy said, as they were making their way to the car."You just want to get in the back and catch a nap, and try and get the rest of your dream out before we get to the mall" John said, playfully smacking Randy on the back. "Nuh uh" Randy replied childishly "I will stay awake the whole entire time." He stuck his tongue out at John and climbed in the back seat. Jessie laughed at his antics and climbed shotgun. The rock station was still on, and Randy sang along to most of the songs. He did it mostly to annoy Jessie and John, but he also did it to prove that he was staying awake. Finally after about 10 minutes they got to the mall. Surprisingly it wasn't crowded. In fact hardly anyone was there. They walked in and looked around at a few shops. Randy and John dragged her into some, and handed her clothes to try on. She took them and tried them on, some she liked some she didn't."Sweetie you need to buy all you need today, because tomorrow we leave to go back on tour" John told her. "We're leaving tomorrow?" Jessie asked, a touch of fear in her voice. She didn't know what to expect, and it scared her."Why don't we pay for these things we got, and go sit at the food court for some drinks? Then explain to Jessie what all to expect when she goes on tour with us" Randy said talking to John. John nodded and they made their way to check out. John paid for the things and they made their way to the food court. They got drinks and sat down at a table."Ok" John said after a bit of silence. "Now Randy and I are going to tell you a few things to expect. Ok first thing that comes to my mind is, that we have to get up at 6 am cause we have an 8 am flight. We'll get on a plane in Boston and fly to Dallas, Texas from there were heading to San Antonio where the show is." John stopped and looked at Randy. "Then when we get to San An, we get a hotel because we'll be there for 3 days. We're doing RAW and 2 house shows, plus John has an autograph signing." Randy looked back at John and so did Jessie knowing he'd be talking next."Ok so I'mma tell you about the arena now. Well I'll introduce you to people when you get there. In general everyone is really nice. There's a few bad eggs, but I'll tell you about them later. When Randy and I are doing our thing, I'll have someone stay with you so you don't get bored. It shouldn't really come to that though, because Randy and I have separate storylines so one of us should be with you at all times. The only time you'll really have to be away from us, is when were changing into our gear. Well Randy really, because as you know I just wear what I wear, and all I have to do is put on my knee pads and that takes all of 30 seconds." John realized he was rambling and shut up. He looked at Randy to see if he had anything to add."Well actually there's 2 times you'll have to be away from us. Once when were changing, and once when we shower after our matches. Neither one is for a long time though, so don't worry. Like John said, you should be with one of us at all times. Hotel rooms. You got 3 options. A) room with John, B) room with me, C) room by yourself. Of course if you do that, we can always have one of us have an adjoining room to it, if you want so we'll be accessible." Randy stopped talking. He looked at Jessie. She was processing all of the information. Realizing he was waiting on an answer she looked at him."Well since were staying 3 days can I like, do all 3 of the rooming choices? Like one day I room with you, one day with da--John, and one by myself. Or would that be too much trouble?" She really didn't want to decide on just one choice, all 3 sounded really good, and she didn't want to have to choose. Randy looked at John for a second and then back at Jessie "I suppose thats ok. I mean we'd only have to pay for the 3rd room on the last day or first or whenever. Ok that's cool.""Ok so what do I need to get today? What all will I need?" Jessie asked, looking back and forth between Randy and John. "Umm, well, more clothes for one" John said. "Toiletries, things like shampoo, toothpaste, a toothbrush, conditioner if you use it. Uhhh. Books, cd's, dvd's. Both Randy and I have portable dvd players, so you can borrow ours to watch the dvd's on. Ditto on cd players, unless you just wanna get one of those of your own so you don't have to. Umm, if you want to get a pillow for the long plane rides and ditto on the blanket. You can just steal one from the house though if you want" John informed her, while Randy nodded in agreement."Let's go get all the things I'mma need for this, after we finish up here. I'mma get more clothes, at least 4 more outfits. A couple more cd's. A few dvd's if anything catches my attention. Toiletries, I'll need shampoo, soap, maybe some make up, and some feminine products." She noticed as she said feminine products, Randy and John paled. She decided to test them a bit "I dunno about those things though, mom always picked them out. Wings, no wings. Padded not padded. I'm not sure" Jessie said, fighting to hold back the laugh she had.Randy looked over at John and clamped him on the back. "Well, this sounds like a father-daughter bonding experience. You know I'd definitely feel like a 3rd wheel, so I'mma go to CD Exchange and see what they've got. Come get me when your done." With that being said, Randy walked off ignoring John shouting for him."I'mma kill him" John muttered before turning to Jessie "well babygirl, looks like it's you and me. Let's go get ya stuff" John said, getting up off the bench, as they walked to Rite Aid where Jessie could get her stuff."Ok so there's a lot of pads" Jessie said, looking at the rows and rows of pads to choose from. John was standing beside her looking up and down the aisles constantly, like he was making sure no one would see him. "Which do you think I should get?" Jessie asked John, turning to look at him."These." John said grabbing a random package, not even bothering to look at it. He started to walk off, but Jessie pulled on his arm to stop him."You can't just grab a pack." She said "you have to study each, and see which fits you.""Study what? They all come in one size don't they?" John asked, and then muttered "I am so going to kick Randy's ass.""Ugh, so not worth it anymore" Jessie said picking up the brand she used, and throwing it into the cart, along with the other items she got. They took the cart up to the checkout. While the woman was scanning the items, John pointed to the pads and said "those arent for me. I'm just supplying the money for them."After the Rite Aid fiasco, for which John said he could never step foot in another Rite Aid, and feel the same again, they went to CD Exchange. They walked in and saw Randy in the Heavy Metal section. John walked up behind him, and kicked him squarely in the ass. Randy jumped about a foot in the air and turned around to face John. Randy grabbed at his ass and said "what the heck John? Why'd you go and do that for? All I was doing was standing here, reading over the songs on this Metallica CD." Randy held up said cd in John's view. John just looked at him.As John and Randy continued to goof off, Jessie looked around. She found a Kittie cd she wanted so she got it, she also found cd's by Manson, Korn, Godsmack and System of a Down that she had been wanting. She walked back over to John and Randy after she was finished, and coughed to let them know she was there. They stopped, John mid headlock on Randy, and looked at her "Ready to go to the DVD place sweetie?" Randy asked, casually bringing his foot up and stomping on John's toe."Yes haha, before you two get us thrown out of mall." Jessie said leaning against the cd stand."Us? No way would we get kicked out. All we'd have to do is flirt with the lady kicking us out. Say we wouldn't do it ever again. And we're in." Randy flashed his patented smirk after he said this, and Jessie laughed."What about if its a guy?" Jessie asked, and noticed that John's hands slipped from Randy's head and Randy stood up, both seemed to be thinking."Whatever we have to do I suppose" Randy said after a while, and John nodded in agreement. Jessie just shook her head and walked away."Lets check out" she called back to John and Randy who followed behind, still shoving each other like little kids.
