Chapter 50: Beantown's Homecoming Princess
RAW was in none other than John's hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, also known as "Beantown" and that night on RAW, there was gonna be a number one contender's match to see who would face Nicole for the Women's Championship at New Years Revolution.
John and Nicole decided to drive to West Newbury, Massachusetts to visit John's dad and his brothers and for dinner.
Nicole first met John's family when she went to Boston with John to record her demo. They really took a liking to Nicole especially John's brothers who liked her now as John's Princess of Thuganomics instead of the First Lady of Evolution.
John and Nicole arrived at John's family's house. Of course, it was the same house where the video, "Right Now" was shot at. When John and Nicole arrived at the door, John rang the doorbell. A minute later, John's dad, John Sr. opened the door.
"Hey," John Sr. said.
"Hey, old man," John said as he hugged his dad and pulled away.
"Nicole, long time no see."
"Well, it's good seeing you too," Nicole said as she hugged John's dad and pulled away.
"Well, come in. Come in."
John and Nicole went inside and John Sr. closed the door.
"So, where is everybody?" John asked.
"They're all in the living room," John Sr. said as John and Nicole followed him to the living room.
When they got there, all of John's brothers were sitting in the living room watching TV.
"What's up, y'all?" John said.
"Hey," all of John's brothers said and they got up and greeted John and Nicole with a hug.
"What's been going on?" Matt said.
"Nothing, just doing my thing out there and doing good," John said.
"What about you, Nicole?" Dan said. "Has our brother been treating you real good?"
"Here we go."
"Yes, the absolute best. Thank you," Nicole said putting her arms around John.
"Well, now that you're here," John Sr. said, "how about we all sit down and have dinner?"
"Yeah, let's go," John said.
"I'm down with that," Nicole said as everyone went to the dining room.
During dinner in the dining room...
"So, Nicole," John Sr. said, "how is your album coming along?"
"Well, it's finally done and I'm going home on Wednesday to shoot some pictures for my album cover," Nicole said.
"That's good."
"We also heard that you're gonna guest star on 'Monk' on the USA Network in January," Sean said.
"Yes, I am," Nicole said. "I shot the episode last month."
"Could you give us a little preview of what we could expect on the show?" Steve said.
"Okay, but I don't wanna give away too much. I'm playing this character named Cassandra Hennessey who happens to be a pompous businesswoman and somebody in her company is illegally extorting money."
"Wow, that's deep," Matt said.
"Yes, it is. The USA Network is gonna show the episode after the first one when the new season starts."
"Well, we're looking forward to that," John Sr. said. "So, what are you doing for Christmas?"
"Well, Nicole and I were talking and we thought it would be a good idea if we had her family out here to spend Christmas with you guys," John said.
"That's a great idea, John. Will I be meeting your dad, Nicole?"
"Absolutely," Nicole said. "I'm so happy that he's coming home for Christmas."
"What about your sister, Amy? I'll bet she'll be happy to see Marc for the holidays."
"Yes, she's coming as well. I gotta tell you, Marc and Amy, they've been calling and e-mailing each other everyday. They are really crazy in love."
"That's my nephew. He knows how to treat a person right."
After dinner and spending more time with John's family, John and Nicole went to the arena and it was a couple of hours before RAW started. Nicole and Delancey were in the locker room looking through Nicole's album of pictures from Afghanistan where the WWE was for their annual Tribute to the Troops. They went there for three days after the taping of RAW in North Charleston, South Carolina.
"I love this picture," Delancey said.
"Yeah, me too," Nicole said.
The girls were looking at a picture of themselves posing at Afghanistan that John took before their match against the teams of Trish & Ashley and Candice Michelle & Maria. The match was a Triple Threat Santa's Little Helpers tag-team Divas match during the Tribute to the Troops and Nicole and Delancey won that match. Nicole was wearing an olive green midriff top, olive green shorts, black net stockings, green camouflage arm warmers, and a black bandanna covering her wavy hair. Delancey was dressed as a sexy Mrs. Claus wearing a red halter bikini top, red pants, black arm warmers with buckles.
"I gotta admit, you looked really good in that costume," Nicole said.
"Oh, stop it," Delancey said.
"It's the truth."
"Yeah, you're right. I do kinda look good in that costume, do I?"
"Yeah."
"It was a fun match though."
"Yeah. If only my dad was there to see me. I'm so glad that's he's coming home for Christmas. It's gonna be wonderful. What about you, Delancey?"
"Well, my family and I are going to Orangeburg, South Carolina to spend Christmas with Shelton and his mom."
"Ah, that's gonna be nice. Nice as mine and John's family getting together for Christmas here in Boston."
"I know that's right."
Then there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Nicole asked.
"Mr. McMahon," WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said.
Nicole went to the door, unlocked it, and opened it.
"Hi, what's up," Nicole said.
"Well, actually this involves you and Delancey Scott," Vince said walking in the locker room.
"Okay. What is it?" Delancey said.
"Well, you know that there was a Babe of the Year tournament on right?"
"Yeah," Nicole and Delancey said.
"Well, it just so happens that for the first time in history, there's two Divas who are sharing the crown and those two Divas happen to be...you."
"Mr. McMahon, are you serious?" Nicole said.
"I'm dead serious."
"Oh, my god," Delancey said. "I really don't know what to say."
"Well, how about you and Nicole show up for the photo shoot on Friday?"
"That would be so awesome," Nicole said. "Thank you very much for telling us the news."
"You're welcome and I hope you enjoy it."
"Okay. Thank you," Delancey said.
Vince left and the girls jumped up and down screaming and hugging each other.
"Babe of the Year?" Nicole said. "The two of us are Babes of the Year?"
"Christmas has definitely come early and I definitely believe in Santa Claus," Delancey said. "Let's go find Shelton and John and tell them the news."
"Yeah."
Then, RAW was on and John and Nicole were sitting in the locker room watching the Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match between Kurt Angle and Ric Flair. Kurt won it and was getting ready to say something.
"Next week, from Afghanistan, RAW will provide a special Tribute to the Troops," Kurt said. "This was on a voluntary basis for the wrestlers and I'm proud to say that I didn't volunteer. I want you think about this. Why would I fly 30 hours and risk my life for these troops of a country that doesn't respect me. I'm not that stupid. You people chant 'You suck.' That's what I hear. Well, guess what, I don't suck."
"Well, that's what the fans think of you," Nicole said.
"I won a gold medal with a broken neck and did the ultimate thing that anyone in this world can do. You wanna compare? Let's compare. What have the troops done? You tell me what they done over there? Absolutely nothing! I'll tell you what. If, and it's a big damn if, if they catch Osama, then maybe I might go over and sign a few autographs. But until then, this Olympic boy ain't nowhere."
"Please," John said.
"Your perception of a hero is all wrong. Your hometown hero is a basketball player or a hockey player. Well, let me tell you what I think of your hometown heroes. Daivari, are you ready?"
Daivari appeared on the Titantron next to a statue of Larry Bird.
"Am I ready? Am I ready?" Daivari asked. "Kurt, the question is, is Bobby Orr ready? Is the legend Larry Bird ready? I'll show you who's ready."
"I just thought of something," Kurt said. "Why don't we do to their hometown heroes exactly what they do to me. Daivari, desecrate them."
Daivari then spat right on the Larry Bird statue.
"Oh, hell no. Let's go, Nicole," John said.
"Right behind you," Nicole said as they left the locker room.
John and Nicole walked down the hallway and saw Daivari picking up a can of spray paint saying,
"Let me show you what I think of Boston's hometown heroes," Daivari said as he was shaking the can.
Daivari walked into John and as John stood right in front of Daivari, he grabbed the can from him and smacked Daivari down sending him running and yelling in Farsi.
"Enough!" John said. "Kurt, you send the bootleg Iron Sheik out here to spray paint the face Larry Bird? That's bush league. You're better than that. Actually, no, you're not. But for you to stand there in the ring in front of millions of people saying you're too good to visit the men and women who are fighting and dying for you, that makes you a heartless bastard. You see, I've seen the soldiers that will not be home for the holidays you can be, but that's too good for Kurt Angle. Why? Because these people say you suck? Newsflash: half the people out there think I suck. This is America! People have fought and died to say what we want, when we want. I don't care how many gold medals you won. That's a privilege that deserves your respect." The fans then chanted "USA." "It's time to face facts, homie. Without those troops that you're too good for, there is no America. And with no America, there's no American heroes. If you can't get that, then you can't see me."
And then, John spray painted the camera and he and Nicole walked away.
"Kurt's got some nerve saying those stupid things," Nicole said. "Well, too bad for him. He probably doesn't know that my dad is a general in the U.S. Marines and I'm glad he's coming home for Christmas. Hell, my sister, Amy, used to be in the U.S. Marines before she left to focus on her dancing career. Kurt was wrong for that."
"Well, he missed a really good time and he knows he's stupid for saying that," John said.
"Nicole," Trish said walking up to John and Nicole. "Hey, guys."
"Hey, Trish," Nicole said. "What's up?"
"Well, you know that there's a number one contender's match for the Women's Championship, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I just wanna say that if Mickie wins, you should try to be careful around her because you never know what she could do."
"I'll try. Mickie, she's...she's..."
"Obsessed?"
"With you. Besides, I think she wants to win the Women's Championship so she can follow your footsteps."
"Well, I'm gonna talk to her so she can finally get off my back."
"You have to. She's been following you around like a puppy dog since she got here."
"I will. I'll see you later."
"Bye."
Trish walked away and so did John and Nicole.
Later, it was time for the number one contender's match between Mickie James and Victoria to face Nicole at New Years Revolution. Trish's entrance theme played and she comes out from the curtain with Mickie following her. Trish went to the announcers' table for commentary while Mickie walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Mickie got on the turnbuckle and raised both of her arms in the air. She got back down and stood in the ring waiting for Victoria to come out. Then Victoria's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. Victoria walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then Nicole's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain. She was wearing a tan neckline mini dress, black arm warmers, black platform boots, and a black Boston Red Sox baseball cap covering her straight hair. Nicole stood at the top of the ramp from the ring to watch the match as the referee called for the bell.
Victoria and Mickie got face to face and Victoria nailed Mickie. Victoria nailed a series of mounted punches and then hit the Spider's Web for two. Victoria kicked Mickie and then tossed her across the ring by her hair. Victoria gave Mickie a slam and then stood on her for another two count. Victoria went for the standing moonsault but Mickie got her knees up. Mickie hit a series of jabs and then a big knockdown.
Mickie went to work on Victoria in the corner and then hit a clothesline, followed by another, and then a third for two. Mickie hit a back kick to the gut and then hit an elbow in the corner and went for the Mickarana but Victoria countered into a Boston Crab. Mickie made the ropes and Victoria broke the hold. Mickie hit a huge tornado DDT and covered for the win.
Trish left the announcers' table, said hi to Nicole, and walked down the ramp to the ring where Mickie was with a microphone in her hand.
"Trish, can you believe it?" Mickie said. "I won, I won, I won! Thank god. This has got to be the greatest moment in my entire life. Thank you and just think, New Years Resolution, I get to be in the ring with the current Women's Champion, who happens to be the WWE Champion John Cena's girlfriend and the Princess of Thuganomics herself, Nicole Mitchell. It's gonna be such an honor and it's gonna be more of a honor if I actually, quite possibly, win the Women's Championship. Nicole, enjoy your title reign while you can because at New Years Resolution, I will be the new WWE Women's Champion and I get to be in my legacy of my idol, the greatest Women's Champion ever, Trish Stratus!"
Nicole applauded and said "Good luck" as she walked away to the back.
A little later, it was time for the "You Can't See Me" match between John and Daivari. Earlier, Kurt Angle was irate and demanded that Vince McMahon put himself in a match against John for the WWE Championship. Vince vehemently denied the request, but instead said that John would face Daivari in the first-ever "You Can't See Me" match. John was going to be blindfolded throughout the match while Daivari's vision was crystal clear.
Daivari's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Kurt following him. They walked down the ramp and got into the ring. Then Nicole's entrance theme plays and she comes out from the curtain with a microphone in her hand.
"Well, Daivari seems to be pumped and ready for the match," Nicole said, "but I want everyone here to get up off their seats and give it up for the WWE Champion and Boston, Massachusetts' own, John Cena!"
John's entrance theme plays and he comes out from the curtain. He and Nicole walked hand in hand down the ramp and got into the ring with Kurt and Daivari leaving the ring. Nicole raised her title belt in the air as John walked around the ring pumping the Boston crowd up. John took his new "Chain Gang" football jersey off and threw it to the crowd. Daivari got inside in the ring as Nicole stood in front of John saying that she will help him while the referee put the hood over John's head. Nicole left the ring as the referee called for the bell.
Daivari slowly approached John and clapped while John went stumbling in the wrong direction. John went for Daivari again but Daivari moved and then Kurt swiped at John's foot from the outside. Daivari stomped around and John went after him again but then Daivari slapped John in the back of the head. John went for a right hand but Daivari moved again but then John nailed a lucky right hand and went for another. Kurt sneaked behind Nicole, grabbed her, and threw her in the ring. Daivari then grabbed Nicole and threw her at John. John tried to hit Nicole but Nicole stopped him saying "Wait, John! It's me! It's Nicole!" Nicole then left the ring while John started pointing and the fans were helping him find Daivari.
John got Daivari trapped in the corner but Daivari moved and John is using the fans as his eyes. Kurt got on the apron and hit John in the gut knocking John down and Daivari stomped away at him. Daivari choked at John but John grabbed his leg and tackled him down and hammered away with right hands. John grabbed Daivari by the trunks and hit a waist lock takedown and locked in the STFU for the win.
Kurt then hit the ring and attacked John from behind and hammered in the back of the head with forearm shots. John took off the blindfold and hammered at Kurt sending him to the outside. Nicole got inside the ring as John then gave Daivari the FU in the middle of the ring as Kurt backed up the aisle. Nicole raised John's right arm in the air as she and John celebrated his victory in Beantown as RAW went off the air.
After RAW was over, John and Nicole went back to the hotel and Nicole was lying on the bed wearing a red luxe sation and lace babydoll and matching panties that she bought from Frederick's of Hollywood. Nicole wanted to give John a nice "homecoming present" since they were in Boston.
John walked out of the bathroom in his boxers and when he saw Nicole lying on the bed, his eyes widen and his jaw dropped. He then took a deep breath.
"Nicole," John said, "all I can say is damn."
"Well, I wanted to give you a homecoming present," Nicole said, "and it looks like to you seem to like it."
"Like it? I love it. I mean, I love you."
Nicole smiled at John as she walked over to him and kissed him passionately. Nicole turned him around as she was kissing John. She pulled away and Nicole pushed John back on the bed and straddled his waist.
"So, does this homecoming present involves doing what we're about to do?" John said.
"Yeah," Nicole said as she leaned down and kissed John again.
After several minutes of kissing, John flipped Nicole onto her back and kissed her. Then he moved down to Nicole's neck. Nicole smiled as John did this.
"Oh, John," Nicole said. "You always know how to satisfy me."
"Well, since you're giving me a homecoming present, why don't you satisfy me?" John said.
"My pleasure."
Nicole flipped John onto his back, she took off all of their clothes, and she was giving John his homecoming present which was satisfying him guaranteed.
