One Big Happy Family
Keira looked out at the people in the crowd. It was yet another packed house. Then the music started. She took a deep breath and came out to Randy Orton's music.
She walked out to the beginning of the ramp and held up a finger signifying one moment. Then she ran to the back and Randy came out with her. They received even more boos. She led Randy to the ring and ran to the back. This time Trish Stratus came out with her. She walked to the ring with Trish and held both Randy and Trish's arms up. Then she stopped and looked at them. She jumped out of the ring and ran to the back once more. When the second chorus started John came out with Keira and then the applause started. John and Randy both held the ring ropes open for Keira. When they were all in the ring Keira and Trish stood in the middle with John on one side and Randy on the other and when the song started up again at the two and a half minute mark the fireworks went off and they all raised each others hands. The crowd was going crazy.
When the music finally ended Keira took the mic from Lillian Garcia and smiled to Randy, John and Trish. Then she looked around the building.
"It's a funny world when you think about it," Keira said. "One minute you're up in the stars and then in the next second your laying in the gutter wondering what the hell happened. But then it gets even more strange. Somehow it all ends up making sense in the end. Like now the best people in the WWE are all together. Who'd a thunk it?" Keira asked. "But seriously. Who wouldn't want to see John Cena and Randy Orton with the tag team championship? Or Trish Stratus with the woman's championship? Or me being the cutest manager in the WWE?"
She passed the mic to John and gave him a peck on the lips as she skipped past him. He looked at the camera and gave it a smirk.
"You were always the cutest manager in the WWE," John said to her. Then he turned his attention to the crowd. "C'mon people! Let me hear the Chain Gang of Washington, DC!" The crowd exploded with screams, chants and guys whooping it up. "Let's see people mess with us now! You are looking at the best goddamn stable in WWE history! In fact we're making history by just standing here. We've got every single person in the audience drooling." As if on cue Randy struck his pose making the girls scream. John just looked at him and laughed. "But to more serious issues. JBL! You laid your hands on a woman! A woman who you had no right to touch! What pissed me off even more was that it was my girl. You won't be getting away with that! Tonight, right here in Washington, DC we're having ourselves a hardcore match!"
The crowd erupted once again as John passed the mic to Randy. Randy gave a sideways glance to John, Keira and Trish and then smirked at the camera.
"It's okay people," Randy said. "Stare as long as you want." Trish and Keira giggled as Randy took his shirt off and struck his pose again. "So Triple H, you think that you can walk around here like a king? Think again. You might consider yourself to be the greatest wrestler in the ring today but the rest of the world completely disagrees with you. Wrestlemania. Me and you. World Heavyweight Championship. Unless you're too chicken shit."
He passed the mic to Trish who laughed.
"I don't think he'll show up," Trish said to Randy. "But I'm back people and I feel great!"
Randy leaned over her shoulder. "You look pretty damn good too."
Trish giggled. "And I'm back for my Woman's Championship. Victoria, get ready for a severe ass kicking."
Then Randy's music started again. John stepped through the ropes and stood up. First Randy picked Keira up and lifted her over the top rope, passed her to John and John gently set her on the floor. Then John hopped off of the apron. Randy opened the ropes for Trish, once they were both standing on the apron Randy picked her up and threw her to John. John gently set her on the ground. Keira and Trish danced up the ramp and waited for the guys. Once they got there they all joined arms again and raised them as more fireworks went off.
Once in the back Keira jumped up excitedly into John's arms. She kissed him and then jumped down.
"This is going to be so awesome!" She said excited. "No one is going to be able to beat us!"
"Calm down there little one," Trish said holding Keira's arms.
"I'll calm down eventually," Keira said. "Possibly tomorrow."
"Come on, let's go get ready," John said to them and took Keira's hand.
John, Keira and Trish walked off but Randy was too hurt to walk. How could Keira act as if there was nothing between them before? It was as if she didn't even remember. There was so much love in her eyes when she looked at John.
"Hey," Trish said breaking into his thoughts. "You coming?"
"Yeah," Randy said shaking the thoughts out of his head.
The rest of the night was more of the same for Randy. He had to watch the girl he loved love someone else. To make it worse the guy she loved was also his best friend.
"Orange or purple?" Keira asked everyone.
"Orange," everyone said at the same time.
Keira looked at the outfits.
"Nah, I'll go with the purple," she said going into the back and changing.
"Would you just hurry up?" John asked. "We only have a few minutes."
"I'll do it at whatever pace I feel like," Keira said to him. "And if you don't like it then tough noogies to you."
"Noogies?" Trish asked.
"Damn straight," Keira said coming out of the bathroom.
"What the hell is a noogie?" Randy asked her.
"I'll tell ya that when I figure it out," Keira said and then winked at him. "Don't tell them that I don't know."
"Leaving!" John said getting up and grabbing her wrist.
The other two followed.
John's music came on just as they got to the ramp. All four walked out together.
The girls walked up the steps, Randy slid into the ring, John jumped up on the apron and held the ropes open for the girls and Randy took their hands once they were both in.
Randy was amazed. It was the first time in months that he wasn't booed when he made his entrance. Keira was happy that the booing had ended also. She loved being adored by the fans, it was one of the main reasons why she loved the business so much. John and Trish were used to never being booed, the fans loved them no matter what.
Randy, Trish and Keira stayed in the ring while JBL made his entrance. John kept his arm around Keira as long as he could. But once the music stopped Randy held the ropes open for the girls, they each climbed out and took their places at the side of the ring. Randy stopped and looked at JBL.
"You'd better start watching your back real closely, wouldn't want you to lose because there was outside interference," he said and smiled.
Then he hopped out of the ring and stood between Keira and Trish. He looked at the two girls and smiled.
"What?" Keira asked smiling.
"I feel like such a pimp," Randy said putting his arms around the two girls.
"Bitch please," Trish said laughing.
The bell rang and the show got underway.
"C'mon John!" Keira shouted and pounded the mat.
Keira was shocked. She had never seen John look as angry as he did at that moment. It probably wasn't possible to get a meaner expression. And the expression was just the start of it. Even Randy was impressed by the anger that John was expressing. The rage basically radiated off of him.
Keira looked at Randy and he was watching the match a little bit too closely. Then JBL was irish whipped to the ropes and Randy almost grabbed JBL's foot but Keira grabbed his wrist.
"No," Keira said. "I've never helped him cheat. He doesn't want it. He'd just be furious later on when he watches it."
"Alright," Randy said raising his hands in defense.
John had JBL down on the mat and he looked at the crowd. He slowly raised his hand and waived it in front of his face as he looked down at JBL.
All of a sudden with the crowd erupted with "You can't see me!"
Randy found it cute the way she laughed when John did one of his trademark moves. It was familiar to him. She used to giggle and get excited when he used the RKO.
Then John caught JBL in the FU.
"FU bitch!" Keira said jumping up and down.
John hit the FU and covered him for the 1-2-3.
Keira jumped up and down and then slid into the ring. She took the championship belt from Lillian and handed it to John who was exhausted. The match had lasted close to half an hour. Keira held John's arm up and pointed to him.
The four took their time walking to the back. They were too busy enjoying their first victory.
It had been two weeks. Each time Keira would walk the one that was wrestling down to the ring and support them the entire time. It was a little depressing at first because the doctor told her that she couldn't wrestle at all until he ran a few tests on her. She couldn't wait to get back in the ring and tag with Trish.
"You have to be at least a little excited," Keira said.
John grabbed Keira's shoulders and held her down so that she wasn't jumping up and down.
"I am trying to remain calm and you are not helping that purpose," he said smiling. "Now go sit down and watch Randy's match."
"That's so stupid," Keira said plopping down on the leather couch. "Who made the rule that you can't make more than one appearance at Wrestlemania? I wanted to go out there and support Randy too."
"Last time I checked you were my manager," John said stretching out.
"Well I am but Randy's part of this group now too," Keira stated.
"And he's got Trish out there with him."
That's also stupid," Keira said. "Why wouldn't they give Trish her match?"
"Because they didn't have enough time," John said.
"So they let an idiot like Carlito have a match with Ric Flair? Seriously, no one wants to see all that loose skin fly around all at once," Keira said disgusted.
"Someone's in a-"
"Shut up, Randy and Trish are on," Keira said cutting him off.
Randy looked pretty nervous. It was his first Wrestlemania and his cockiness had gotten him a match with the Undertaker and not Triple H. The odds were definitely stacked him. This was the Undertaker's thirteenth Wrestlemania and he was undefeated.
Trish was trying her hardest to keep Randy calm while the Undertaker was making his way down to the ring but she wasn't succeeding. But then again Dr. Phil probably couldn't help much at the moment either. Hell, Trish herself looked terrified.
Randy was doing good in the beginning of the match. A little jumpy maybe, but he was holding his ground. It wasn't until he got hit in the face with a boot did he start to look a bit wobbly. Okay, a bit was an exaggeration, Randy was completely out of it after that.
The Undertaker landed a few blows, got the tombstone piledriver and ended the misery.
"How encouraging," John said.
"That means nothing," Keira said shutting the television off. "C'mon, let's get going."
Keira took the way that she knew Randy wouldn't take because she didn't want John seeing him.
When they got to their ramp Keira could hear the preview to the match playing. She loved watching them. This one she had memorized and was now mouthing the words trying to keep her calm as well as John's.
JBL's music started. Who knows how many Wrestlemania's he had been to in his life. While he was making his entrance to the ring there were JBL one hundred dollar bills falling from the ceiling. Keira rolled her eyes and kissed John once before his music started.
"You'll be fine," Keira said and then the music started. "Go kick some ass."
John walked out onto the stage, held the belt up high, took Keira's hand, spun her around once and the pulled her towards him so that she was holding his shoulder and standing sideways. Then they walked down the ramp together. He opened the ring ropes and she got in. He climbed in after her and held the championship up high. The crowd went wild. They worshiped him and the ground he walked on.
Keira hopped out of the ring and was not too impressed with the match at the beginning. It was completely unfair. Every time John got an advantage JBL would point at Keira and say that she was cheating. So the referee would tell her not to interfere put every time he turned his back JBL would find something else to use as a weapon. One time it was powder to the face, the next it was a low blow, then brass knuckles, then raking the eyes.
"It was that little bitch!" JBL yelled.
"Fuck you!" Keira yelled.
"Last warning Langdon!" The ref said.
"Open your eyes and watch the match!" Keira shouted. "Goddamn blind referees."
Keira walked around the ring and started watching the action from another angle. This time when JBL went to point at her she wasn't even there. He was so confused that John caught him in the FU when he turned around.
The ref got something right and counted the 1-2-3. Keira immediately took the belt from the announcer and jumped into the ring. She handed the belt to John and he hugged her tightly. Then he pulled away and kissed her. The whole arena started cheering even louder. The kiss ended, Keira smiled and then raised John's arm up in the air.
John was so pumped up that he jumped out of the ring and into the audience. He laid on a few people for a couple of seconds, got up and stood on the guardrail.
Keira stood in the ring applauding her man and laughing at his silly antics. He never ceased to amuse her.
That night all that John wanted to do was party but Keira had to constantly remind him that they had a show to do tomorrow and then they would go out a celebrate.
"What you suffered was a pretty serious contusion on your lower back area," the doctor said. "Contusions usually aren't that acute but in your situation it was severe."
"So…" Keira said.
"So you won't be able to wrestle anymore without risking major damage," he answered.
"Like never never?" Trish asked.
"Never never," Keira responded.
"Wow, that sucks," Trish said looking at some of the people walking past them.
"Tell me about it," Keira said. "I was looking so forward to coming back and now I can't."
"But you get to go out to every match, not just your own," Trish said.
"True," Keira said.
"What'd John and Randy say?"
"John was absolutely livid for a while, Randy saw it coming. He actually told me before I left to not be surprised if they told me my career was over," Keira said.
"He called that one," Trish said.
"The following match is scheduled for one fall is for the Tag Team Championship of the world! Introducing the challengers first. At a combined weight of four hundred and ninety-five pounds, accompanied to the ring by Keira Langdon and Trish Stratus, the WWE Champion John Cena and Randy Orton!"
The crowd cheered as they made their entrance.
"At a combined weight of four hundred and fifty pounds, accompanied to the ring by Melina, Mercury and Nitro! They are MNM!"
MNM held up their championship belts and mocked John and Randy for a few seconds before jumping into the ring and waiting for Melina to complete her entrance. Apparently Trish got a little bored because after Melina got her second leg up on the apron Trish baseball slid her out onto the floor. Trish and Keira quickly scurried out of the ring. John and Randy both attacked Mercury while Nitro made sure that Melina was fine.
Keira and Trish were making faces at Melina from across the ring. Melina kept her hand on her stomach for the whole first half of the match.
John was exhausted in the ring and he barely made it over to Randy for the tag. But once Randy was in the ring he cleared house. Until his eyes got caught on Melina. She was standing on the ring apron distracting him. Keira and Trish let this go on for a few seconds, well until Trish could get to the other side of the ring anyways. Once Trish was in the right spot they each grabbed a foot and pulled backwards. Melina's face went right into the apron and then she tumbled to the floor.
Trish and Keira high-fived each other but as they looked back into the ring Nitro rolled Randy up and pinned him for the 1-2-3.
Afterwards no one talked about the match. It was everyone's fault. But they all h ad to admit that seeing Melina with a broken nose was pretty amusing. They all went off and did their own thing.
Keira was off looking for John. Last time she had seen him he was talking with Randy and they seemed to be having a good time so she left them alone. Bad move. Now she had been looking for him for close to an hour and hadn't even seen anyone else that could've seen him. He always seemed to disappear.
She was getting so fed up that she just walked into random locker rooms without knocking. Eventually she wound up back at Trish's. She walked in and then walked out twice as fast as she had walked in.
How could she? How could she hurt her like that?
