Chapter 2: Pancakes & a Pain in the Ass

.

I awoke to the sound of the birds chirping and the sun shining brightly through my window. This was a nice change. Usually it'd be waking up, still tired to the sound of a ringing alarm or if I had sleepily turned it off, the sound of pounding on my hotel room door. Life on the road was tough, late nights and early morning travelling meant that we were all usually exhausted and sometimes in a bit of a mood but it was worth it. We got to see the world. Visit places some people only dreamed about and we got to do while working. Truly the best job in the world.

.

I climbed out of bed and headed for a shower to wake me up properly.

.

After showering, I changed into a pair of blue skinny jeans and a white vest top before going downstairs. As I descended the staircase the smell of mom's home cooking wafted up my nostrils, eliciting a growl from my stomach. I skipped down the rest of the stairs and bounced into the kitchen.

.

"Looks like someone slept well. Good morning sweetheart." My dad greeted from the table.

"Yip. Morning daddy." I smiled as I kissed his cheek before taking a seat opposite my brothers.

.

Ted was engulfed in the newspaper as was my father, the pair of them looked so similar at the moment I found myself staring. Brett was texting. This was not unusual. He was always glued to his phone texting or calling his girlfriend, the lovely Leah.

"Morning Star" My mom said using a nickname she coined for me years ago, as she sat down a stack of chocolate chip pancakes, a plate of bacon, sausages and scrambled egg's in the middle of the table beside a stack of toast, jug of orange juice and a pot of coffee.

.

No sooner had the plates hit the table than every one was fighting each other for food. Ted and Brett took to poking each other with forks, I took the opportunity to help myself to three very large pancakes and a couple of rashers of bacon. Brett noticed this and looked at me, Ted used to distraction to take the last remaining pancakes, smirking as he did so. Brett looked between Ted and me, his mouth open but he was at a loss for words. My mother, ever the pacifist reached over and took a pancake from both Ted and I, placing it on Brett's plate. Which made him smile, which made me and Ted look less than pleased.

Breakfast in the DiBiase household never was quiet, even with us all as fully matured adults, though we rarely acted like it.

.

"Did Vince call you?" Ted asked, taking a forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth.

"You know the rules. No shop talk at meal times." My mother scolded.

"Joy, this is their lives now. Let them talk about work." My dad chimed in. Mom nodded and told us we could continue.

"No, I haven't gotten any phone calls. Why?" I replied

"Because you're getting a new storyline."

"How do you know?" I asked, intrigued that he knew before I did.

"Randy told me. He called this morning, said Vince called him into his office last night and told him."

"And why would Vince tell Randy? I'm confused here."

"Because squirt." He replied swallowing a lump of pancake in his mouth. "You're joining the Legacy." I froze.

"Whoa, wait a minute. What now?" I asked

"You're joining Legacy. When we get to Atlanta tomorrow we have a meeting with Vince and creative to discuss it."

"Oh Star. Congratulations!" Mom smiled at me.

"Thanks Mom."

"Yeah well done sweetheart. Maybe you two will get along better if you're teaming together."

"Don't expect any miracles now dad." I replied.

"I won't, but on the plus side, working with Randy will give your career a push in the right direction."

.

After that the rest of breakfast was kind of quiet. I excused myself leaving Ted and Brett to do the dishes while I went outside. I sat down on the porch swing and started to think about things.

Joining the Legacy was a huge push for my career. They were the main stable in the WWE right now, every week they were getting main event matches, promos and lots of air time. Since joined Legacy, Ted had gone from being vaguely recognised to being mobbed every time he was out in public. This could mean big things for me, like maybe the Divas Title. There was one thing playing on my mind. I took out my phone and began dialling.

.

"Hello?" Came a gruffed response.

"Good morning sunshine." I said in a sing song voice. "I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, I'm up."

"Liar."

"Ok, yes you woke me, but it's fine. What's up?" He asked.

"Well Philip I got some interesting news this morning."

"Oh really Scarlett, please elaborate."

"Apparently I have a meeting with Vince tomorrow regarding a new storyline."

"Really? That's awesome babe. Do you know anything about it?" He asked sounding very pleased for me.

"Yeah. Um, I'm going to be joining the Legacy." I bit my lip as I waited for his response.

Silence

"Phil?... Phil?... Yo, Punk!"

"Yeah. Sorry. Wow, that's a big break. Congrats" He said

"And you're Ok with it?" I asked somewhat surprised.

"Yeah. I can't stand Orton but this'll be great for your career."

.

Phil and Randy did not get along one bit. I'm not quite sure how it started but for as long as I'd known them they had disliked each other. It was never really an issue but once I started working on Raw and spending more time with the rest of the locker room I began to notice how bad it was. They would ignore each other, throw snide remarks and give each other glares. With Randy being one of Ted's best friends he was usually with us any time we went out and of course with Phil being my boyfriend, he was there too. The atmosphere could get very uncomfortable.

Now that I'd be working with Randy full time I was worried about how Phil would feel about this. Though it seemed I was worrying for nothing.

.

We talked for a while longer before we said goodbye.

I had a BBQ to get ready for.

.

.

It was 1pm by the time the first guest began to arrive. My oldest half brother Mike, Brett's girlfriend Leah, a few of my aunts and uncles and to my surprise Cody Rhodes and his dad Dusty. I helped my mom in the kitchen, getting people drinks and what not while my dad, Ted and Brett started up the BBQ.

.

As I was walking through the hallway there was a knock on the door. I opened it and was surprised to see none other than Randy Orton standing on my doorstep. I stared at him for a few moments wondering why nobody told me we could being friends, before I noticed his father standing beside him. I ushered them in, taking their coats and showing them through to the back yard.

.

"Brett, why wasn't I told we could invite people? You brought Leah and Ted invited Cody and Randy." I asked with a frown on my face.

"I dunno. Dad told me I could invite Leah, ask him."

.

I walked up the the grill where my dad was flipping some burgers and chatting to Dusty Rhodes and Bob Orton.

"Dad." I said quietly.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"How come Ted and Brett were allowed to invite people to the BBQ but I wasn't?" I asked with a frown etched upon my face.

"What are you talking about honey? I told Ted you guys could being people. I said for him to tell you you could invite that boyfriend of yours along." I clenched my jaw as I turned to find my brother.

.

I was beyond pissed right now. I strutted over to the table where Ted, Randy and Cody were gathered, chatting and laughing.

.

"Ted!" I called through gritted teeth. The three of them turned to look at me. "Why was it that you decided to tell me this occasion was family only?"

"I...uh.." He replied, stuttering.

"Did you really think I wouldn't find out?"

"Relax Star, I meant to tell you. I just forgot. Sorry." He said standing up.

"Lies. Why do you have to be a jerk all the time?"

"I forgot. I said I was sorry now cool it."

"No Ted, I will not 'cool it'. You may have a problem with Phil but it doesn't give you the right to interfere with me and my boyfriend. Just butt out from now on."

"Look, I'm just looking out for you. He's got a bad attitude. Besides, it's not like he would have wanted to come anyway, he's not really the socialising type."

"Oh and you don't? That's besides the point anyway. Just leave my personal life alone." I spat as I stomped off.

.

I sat at the other end of the garden with a few of my cousins, I had to stay away from Ted or I would lose my temper and embarrass myself and my parents.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. One new text message.

.

Phil: 'Hey, how's the family gathering going? X'

I smiled seeing Phil's name. It was like he could read my mind and know I was ready to commit fratricide.

Scarlett: 'Horrible.'

P: 'Why? What happened?'

S: 'I'm pissed. Ted invited Randy & Cody. He never told me I could invite you.'

P: 'Asshole'

S: 'Can I kill him?'

P: 'Yes. But only if I can help dispose of the body. I'll be your alibi too. "We were at home all night officer."!'

S: 'Deal. I wish you were here :( '

P: 'Me too. Hey, want to sneak off & catch get a flight? How do you fancy Barbados?'

S: 'Don't tempt me. Two weeks on a beach with you - I might never come back!'

P: 'That would suit me. We could get jobs in a bar. You could be the hot barmaid, I could be the jackass throwing people out.'

S: 'Sounds like a plan, I'll pack now! On a more serious note though, I miss you!'

P: 'I miss you too, like crazy miss you. I've even started cuddling the pillow! It's good but it's no Cherry Bomb.'

S: 'Thanks, I was getting worried there.'

P: 'Less than twenty four hours and we'll be together again. Dinner at iHop?'

S: 'Hell to the yeah!'

P: 'It's a date, I'll see you then Cherry bomb! Love you X'

S: 'Love you too xx'

.

.

The rest of the evening dragged on, I avoided Ted the whole time. I was worried if he spoke to me I'd punch him. I was standing in the kitchen washing up a few dishes when someone appeared beside me. I turned and saw Randy standing there with a dish towel in his hand.

.

"I'll dry." He said lifting a plate I had just washed.

.

We stood like that in silence for a while before he decided to break the silence.

.

"So you looking forward to joining Legacy?" He asked.

"I guess."

"You don't seem too happy. What's wrong?"

"Honestly, I'm afraid I might kill my brother if I have to spend any more time with him." I replied.

"Yeah, Cody and I feel the same sometimes." He laughed. "But think of it this way. You'll get a push, more air time, probably a pay rise and maybe even a title shot." I smiled as I thought about the title.

"See there you do. And think of me and Cody. We are the ones who have to make sure you and Ted remain alive and in one piece." He laughed.

"Yeah, you two have a tough job."

"Are you worried about how Punk will react?" He asked.

.

I looked at him somewhat surprised by his question.

.

"No, I already told him and he's happy for me."

"Really? Hmm." He said curiously.

"What?"

"Nothing, just I would have thought he'd have freaked out and ranted on about how much he hates me." He laughed.

"Well he was very supportive. Besides, it's not him that has to be around you."

"Exactly, that's why I thought he would have freaked."

"What do you mean?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He turned to face me before he answered.

"It just surprises me that he is so calm about me working so closely with his girlfriend"

"And why wouldn't he be?"

"You're a very attractive woman and Punk thinks I'm the devil. He probably thinks I'm trying to 'steal you away' from him." He said with an amused smile.

"Oh come on, that's ridiculous. He has no reason to think that."

"No but does he really need one? Last week he tried to blame global warming on my use of sun beds."

"Well he does have a point Randy. I mean come on, you must sleep under the damn thing. Compared to you I'm an albino." I said putting my arm against his.

.

He chuckled lifting my arm up to have a good look.

.

"Well hello Sheamus." I punched him in the arm.

"Ouch. Hey you can't do that, we're team mates now."

"Yeah well Ted is my brother. That has never stopped me pummelling him." I smirked.

"But Ted does have that effect on people." I punched him again.

"Hey what was that for?" He asked rubbing the sore spot.

"That's my brother you're talking about!" He looked at me dumbfounded

"But you just..."

"Yeah I earned the right to say that living with him my entire life. He's a pain in the ass but he's my pain in the ass."

"Duly noted." He laughed.

.

I started to think about what Randy had said. Surly if Phil had been bothered he would have said something, voiced his concerns. Phil was never one to hold back, we were alike in that sense. Our mouths often got us into trouble. I made a mental note to find out how he really felt about all of this the next day on our date.

Hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to review and let me know what you think!
