A/N- My internet was out while I was writing this, but RAW is on, and the first match had me dying. For the record, I hate Ted and Cody's new entrance song. I liked the other version better. Oh, and this chapter kind of got a point across. I was thinking between 3 and 5 chapters to go for this. But by the time I'm done, that could be 20.

Her friendship with Randy seemed to be going down the drain, while Ken seemed to be slipping further and further away. There were some day she didn't talk to either of them. She couldn't even remember the last time all three of them were together in a room. Mondays they pretty much avoided each other. Ken wasn't mad at either of them, he was just preoccupied, plus he injured himself a week ago. Randy was avoiding both of them at all cost. The sad part of it all? Becky either didn't seem to notice or care.
"Are you trying to tell me that you prefer Spiderman over Batman?" Cody provided a good distraction for her, she didn't have time to notice Randy's absence.
"Spiderman has better powers. The whole climbing up the side of a wall thing? Amazing."
"But Cody, Batman has the Joker! And Harley!"
"So? Spiderman gets to kiss Kirsten Dunst." Cody smiled at the appalled look Becky was giving him.
"You know nothing about superheros, Nimrod."
"Obviously not, but I could kick your ass in Zelda any day." Cody retaliated. It was a Friday night, and they already had their house show. Both of them were leaving early the next morning to head home.
"I wouldn't go that far, I can hold my own at Zelda." Becky insisted.
"We'll see Wozniak, we'll see."
"We'll see Wozniak, we'll see." Becky mocked.
"Ten...nine...eight...seven...six.."
"What are you doing?" He just started counting out of nowhere. He just shook his head.
"Three....two...one..." Cody glanced at the door and frowned.
"What's going on?" She asked confused.
"He's late." Cody was still looking at the door.
"Who?"
"Ted. He always burst into the room at one in the morning." Cody explained. Becky immediately thought back to the houseshow and her conversation with Ted.
"Becky, get your ass over here." Ted demanded, standing at the exit sign of the arena.
"What the hell do you want, Jackass?" She asked, slowly walking over to him much to his annoyance.
"I know you don't mean that. You know you want me." He smirked at her.
"Yeah, on Smackdown."
"Oh, that one hurt." Ted grabbed his chest dramatically.
"Did you want something, or is this just your way of talking to me?"
"Calm down toots, I'm not making any moves on you. That's Cody's job."
"TED! What do you want? I want to leave."
"I want you to want me, I need you to need me." Ted half sang half spoke.
"You are such an ass. I'm leaving." He grabbed her shoulder before she could walk away.
"Wait, wait. I really did want something." Ted said more seriously now.
"Fine, what?"
"I have a meeting with the road agents in about twenty minutes, and then I'm getting food across the street. To make a long story short, I'm going to need Cody to come pick me up around twelve thirty."
"Why can't you drive yourself?"
"I rode with you two today, moron."
"Sure Teddy, I'll tell him." She said as sweet as possible. God how she hated this man.
"Good. I might make it worth your while later on." Ted raised his eye brows suggestively.
"No thank you. I prefer men who know what they are doing."
"Then why are you with Cody?"
"Fuck you."
"Anytime." He laughed as she roughly shoved him out of the way so she could leave. He must have touched a sore spot.
"Cody! You were supposed to pick Ted up an hour ago." Becky searched for her keys and tossed them to him.
"What? When? Where?"
"Ted needed a ride, twelve thirty, across from the arena. I forgot to tell you." She was rushing around looking for her shoes. It was pouring down rain outside and Ted was probably sitting out in this waiting for Cody.
"Okay, calm down. We'll leave now." They were in her car within ten minutes and on their way to the arena. It took a little longer to get there because of the rain, but they eventually made it. Cody put the car in park and both of them ran to the restaurant across the street. It was closed.
"Do you think he got a ride from someone else?" Becky asked, honestly worried.
"No, he would have called. He's not far away." Cody looked around, and there was nothing opened. He still knew Ted wasn't very far away.
"Gnnhrrh."
"Something is in that alley way. Go kill it." Becky stepped behind Cody and pointed to the alley where the noises were coming from.
"It's not an animal."
"Then what is it?"
"TED! I'm coming back there, and if you aren't dressed, you're dead." Cody announced loudly. They heard some movements and a moment later, Ted walked out, his shirt half unbuttoned, and his hair soaked, with a girl behind him.
"Ha, cute." Becky mumbled. She should have figured he'd be with a girl. She did have to admit, the way his hair curled slightly from being wet made him look good.
"Here's my number, call me." The blonde whispered into Ted's ear before walking away. Becky held back a laugh as the girl slapped Ted's ass. She wasn't very subtle.
"Have you been making out with that girl, who you don't even know, for an hour?" Cody asked.
"I think she's the one." Ted gazed after the girl who was walking away.
"What's her name?" Becky asked.
"It starts with a S." Ted said proudly.
"Good observation."
"You're late anyway, so shut up." Ted pointed out.
"Becky just informed me I was supposed to pick you up." Ted adverted his gaze to Becky who was trying to look innocent.
"Is this payback for coming on to you earlier?"
"You hit on her earlier? Why didn't you tell me?" Cody's last question was directed to both of them.
"Because it's Ted and he's gross."
"Because it's Becky and she's yours." Ted replied.
"She's not mine." Cody defended. Becky sighed, standing there as if they couldn't see her. She already knew to a point how Cody felt about her, so this conversation was not a surprise.
"Tell Randy that."
"Okay then, time to go. I'm tired." Becky intervened.
"Shotgun!" Ted ran to the passenger side of the car and got in, quickly buckling himself up so he wouldn't have to move.
"You can drive, I'll sit in the back." Cody offered.
"I'm not sitting next to him. If I sit in the back, I can at least annoy him." Cody laughed and opened the door for her. The drive back to the hotel basically consisted of Ted and Becky arguing, with Cody refusing to take sides.
If you would have asked her who she would be riding with two months ago, her answer would have automatically been Randy and Ken. She would have passed up her time with Cody and Ted for those two. Now? Well now she wasn't as sure. Cody was slowly replacing Randy's role, and Ted was taking over Ken's in her life. She really couldn't object to it either. Ted was actually growing on her. Cody was a different story though.
She was falling for him.
