Chapter XVI – 2nd match surprise!

First he was a little surprised but then he started kissing back, deepening the kiss. They didn't even care that everybody was watching, or that Chris and Randy were still fighting. For a moment, they were one in a deep, passionate kiss.

Cleo slowly pulled out of the kiss, with her eyes still closed. He picked her up again and she leaned her forehead against his and smiled. Then he cleaned the tears that were still all over her face and she held her title up again with her arm around his neck. The both of them and Benoit went backstage with the haughtyness of a winner, leaving Randy and Trish lying in defeat.

As soon as they got backstage, Cleo was 'attacked' by people who practicly fell on her: Lita and Christy. They seemed more excited than Cleo, jumping around and yelling stuff like 'you got it' and 'she got it'.

"I'll speak to you later!" she said, as they didn't seem to be getting any calmer. Then she turned to Chris. "Thanks for that, Uncle!" and she hugged him. He hugged back and whispered 'I knew you'd do it' at her ear. Then she stiffened a little with his next words: "Don't think I didn't see that because I did. I'll speak to you later." She was still his little girl.

She pulled back from the hug. "I gotta go to my locker room." She backed away from them with Dave.

"For who didn't have any friends out of Evolution that was quite a celebration." Dave said. She looked at him scared, realising she had told them Chris, Lita and Christy were mad with her for joining the team. She was about to speak when he cut her off.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything." He said looking at her. "But you'll have to explain it to me later."

"I will. Thanks." She said, linking arms with him.

When they got to the Evolution locker room though, she had to let go of him as she was lifted up and spinned around again at the sound of an unmistakable WOOO! She woooed back at Ric before he put her down.

"Congratulations, honey! You were great out there!" he said loudly.

"Thanks!" She grinned while she walked in the locker room. She sat on the couch with her title still on her hand. Triple H also congratulated her.

"Now, all we need is for you two guys to become Tag Team Champions! And maybe Intecontinental Champion!" he said, although nobody was really paying attention to him. Cleo was still daydreaming about her match (and what followed) and Ric was talking about that very same thing.

"So, you two guys..." he started. "I always said there was something there, didn't I champ?"

Triple H was still lost in his own thoughts. "Yeah, yeah. Jericho has it now, right, so it shouldn't be hard..."

"Yeah, well, you two lovebirds make a great couple." He continued. "Cleo's a great girl."

Dave smiled. "Yeah, I know."

They watched the matches untill it was time for the main event. The whole team walked together to the ring with the sound of the Game's theme. He made his entrance and the lights went back on, while he waited for Orton in the ring. But it wasn't Randy Orton who came out. It was none other than Raw's General Manager, Eric Bischoff. Triple H asked him what was going on, even without a mic. He raised his own and started talking.

"Unfortunatly, our challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship was viciously attacked earlier tonight, so he won't be able to attend to this match." All the audience started to complain, but he just shook his head. "But don't worry! Thanks to a brilliant idea of mine, you will still have your main event. It will be Triple H..." he looked around for a little with a smirk on his face. "...against the man who attacked Randy Orton..." Cleo, as Ric and Triple H looked at Dave surprised. The first, altough careful enough not to show it, very happy about that. But then her mouth dropped by Bischoff's nexts words.

"...Chris Benoit!"

At least two sighs of relief where heard by the ring, before the information that he was going to battle Benoit for his title finaly hit Triple H. He asked for a mic and faced the GM.

"Hey, Bischoff, you can't just come here and tell me my opponent has changed! I need time to prepare, I-"

"Wait a minute, H, you didn't let me finish. You see, there's some good news and some bad news. The good news is, you'll have help for your match." Triple H smirked, while the audience booed. "The bad news is, so will Benoit..." The champion looked at him without understanding. "...because it will be a Lumberjack Match!"

Cleo covered her mouth with her hand while many superstars came out behind Bischoff and placed themselves around the ring. From the moment she looked at them and saw the expression on everybody's face she understood that it wouldn't be Triple H vs. Chris Benoit, it would be all those people against Evolution.

"Well, I never been in a Lumberjack Match before!" She turned to Dave, while Chris's theme started to play. "It'll be fun!"

"You bet it will, at least for you." He replied.

She frowned. "Why?"

"Because it will be wonderful to watch it from the anounce table, which is where you'll be." She put on her best glare. "I'm not going to the anounce table, I wanna stay here!" he looked at the ring, where the match was about to start. Then he looked at her. "I'm not gonna win this, am I?" She smirked. "No, I don't think so." It was his time to smirk. "Think again." She was about to ask what did he mean when he picked her up and only put her down in a chair next to Lilian Garcia's. "Don't get yourself into the fight, ok?" This time her glare was deadly, but she mumbled something like 'Ok, whatever'. He turned to Lilian. "Make sure she doesn't get up, ok?" "Ok." She said. "Thanks." He went back to ringside, next to Ric, leaving Cleo with her arms crossed.

Not late after the match had started, the violence of the fight that went on inside the ring could only be compared to the one that went ouside it. Somehow everybody seemed to be attacking whoever came in front of them, but their favorite targets where definitly Ric and Dave. Cleo had sticked to her promise until one point. Tomko was distracting Batista while Christian came towards her to pick up a chair to hit him with. Cleo smirked and even stood up for him to grab her chair. When he turned his back to her, she went after him and right before he hit Dave she hit him with a quite powerful low blow that left him on the floor. Batista heard the noise and turned, and when Cleo saw Tomko was about to attack him behind his back, she picked up the chair and hit him right in the face with all her strengh. He fell on the floor.

Dave just raised his eyebrows. She smiled and nodded. "I'll go sit again."

With all the mess outside the ring, nobody noticed when Randy Orton arrived through the audience. He managed his way inside the ring and as soon as he caught Triple H in a good position, he delivered an RKO on him. The referee made the bell sound, and Cleo looked perplex at Lilian while she pronounced the veredict.

"And the winner, in result of a desqualification, is Triple H!"

A/N:

Hey! Sorry for the late update. Although the exams are only in June, the teachers seem to think they're tomorrow! But I finally found the time to update.

I'm so sad that Batista had to give away his title. Especially because Kurt Angle got it! But, as I've said before, this only means that when Batista gets back, he will become a two-time World Heavyweight Champion! ;)

Anyways, I hope you liked the chapter, I'll try to update again as soon as possible. And now the usual advice. I've been nice. I've been funny. NO MORE NICE GIRL! REVIEW NOW OR I WILL GO TO YOUR HOUSE AND BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!

Yours,

Ari

P.S.: No I won't. I'm too nice. -.-'
