Lilian opened the door to the hotel room, and helped Victoria inside before dragging there bags inside. The trip back to the hotel had been a slow and uneventful one, and both girls were ready to just relax and get some sleep.
"I'm glad we don't have a flight tomorrow" Victoria yawned "so who wants the bath first?" she asked as Lilian wandered over to the mini bar.
"you can, I'm sure your ribs need it more then I do" Lilian chuckled passing one of the small bottles to her friend "while your in there I'll get us some ice and then we can drink till we pass out"
Victoria laughed "you've spent to much time around Austin" she yelled to lilians back as she walked to the door. Victoria simply laughed harder when Lilian merely flipped her off.
When Victoria emerged from the bathroom half an hour later, Lilian was sitting on her bed, with her ankle propped up with a few pillows and an ice pack placed on the back of her head.
"feeling any better?" she asked carefully sitting on her band and taking the offered ice pack to place over her sore ribs.
"yeah a little bit, but I'm still confused and it's kinda giving me a headache" she laughed lightly
Victoria paused and sighed before asking "so what do make of this situation with the Kane and the Undertaker?"
Lilian looked thoughtful as she passed Victoria some more ice for her eye. "I don't know, I don't think there is much of a situation, I'm just glad they showed up when they did."
"yeah, same, it's just out of all the guy's who could of come out I, A. didn't expect them, and B. didn't expect them to come find us afterwards." Victoria shifted before continuing "I mean any other tag team who wanted Nitro and Mercury would never of given us a second thought except for maybe one or two of them."
"that's because half of them are a bunch of egotistical ass holes," she paused and rubbed her tired face "I don't know what to think right now, I think my mind is to rattled from Melina's fat ass" she giggled.
There laughter was interrupted by Lilian's phone ringing.
"hello…. Oh hi Stephanie let me put you on speaker" she pushed the button for speaker then placed it on the bed side table.
Stephanie Mcmahons worried voice filtered through the phone. "oh my god lil, Vicki are you okay, I saw what happened, where there hell was my stupid husband, I told him to watch out for you, god damn it if it wasn't for Kane and the Undertaker, who knows what could of happened, wait till hunter gets hom….."
"steph" Victoria cut in "it's okay, we are both fine, and your stupid husband got ambushed while we were in the ring so don't blame him."
"yeah steph, it's fine, both him and shawn helped us to the car and apologized profusely."
They could here Stephanie sigh over the phone "I know I called him, but that doesn't mean I can't still be mad"
"your not the only one that's mad" Victoria grumbled "I swear next week Mercury and Nitro are gonna see that they call me psycho for a reason."
Lilian laughed "Vicki as strong as you are, you couldn't take on both Mercury and Nitro with Melina in there corner, and no doubt Candice will stick with them"
Victoria huffed "I know" she frowned "maybe Steph's stupid husband and best friend will help me"
"sorry to burst your bubble Vicki" Steph replied solomly, "but RKO has requested a match against them, and even with all my influence, my father is set on this match and I couldn't get it changed."
"looks like someone already thought this through" Lilian stated
"yeah well I knew Vicki would want to break something, or preferably someone"
"what can say" she shrugged "revenge is sweet"
Lilian smirked at her friend "I suppose you could ask Kane or the undertaker, but me personally I think I'll hang up my wrestling career and stick to announcing."
"hmmmm" Victoria looked thoughtful "well they did tell us that they wanted to show MNM what a real tag team was"
"what, wait a minute when did they tell you this" Stephanie asked confused
"well, afterwards they came back to check on us" Lilian looked thoughtful remembering the incident "they actually seemed concerned"
"you're kidding right?" Stephanie stated "we are talking about the same people right?"
"yes Steph we are talking about the same Kane and Undertaker." Lilian confirmed.
"woah that's weird, I'v never known them to give a damn about anyone. You should be careful where this leads okay." Steph said concern evident in her voice "I'll let you two get some rest."
"thanks Steph" Lilian sighed "we will let you know how everything goes okay, and don't worry I'll make sure vic doesn't get into to much trouble"
Victoria threw the now melted ice pack at Lilian "see ya Steph I gotta show this blondie what the true meaning of trouble is."
"oh god" was last thing Stephanie said before hanging up to the sound of squealing and laughter.
It was the morning before the next edition of raw and Victoria and Lilian were in the hotel gym working out before they had to leave for the arena. Lilian was on a treadmill while Victoria was finishing up her reps on the weight table. After grabbing a bottle of water she joined her blond friend on the treadmill beside her.
"Any plans for tonight after the show" the raven haired diva asks her friend
"Not really, I need to call my parents though I've been putting it off and we will be having a show near them soon and I'd like to see them" Lilian said smiling at the thought "daddy said me and him would go to this lake and go out on his boat"
"You're such a daddy's girl" Victoria laughed
"Oh shut up" she said swatting her friend in the arm
"There you two are!" the two Divas looked up to see there friend and fellow Diva Maria.
"Hey what's up?" Lilian asked switching of her machine and then jumping off of it.
Maria slowed taking a deep breath "I'm guessing you haven't read the new line up for tonight" she paused watching the confused look that crossed her two friends face "Melina and Nitro have challenged you to a tag team match, and if you can't get a partner by the start of the show then it's a handicap match." She said to Victoria.
"what?" Victoria exclaimed
"that doesn't give her long, considering half of the guys are already at the arena or are staying in a different hotel" Lilian stated
"I know so as soon as I found out I thought I should come and find you" Maria offered shifting nervously on her feet, knowing that this wasn't going to make Victoria happy. She was right as she watched her friend storm of muttering curses under her breath.
Lilian turned to Maria with supportive smile "thanks hun, she'll be fine just let her cool off" Lilian sighed "though she won't have time to cool off if she doesn't find a partner"
While Lilian and Maria went back to there hotel room to collect there things for tonights show, Victoria was wandering around the hotel trying to find someone who she could team with. She'd already asked a majority of the roster, but most were either occupied in other matches, or were ass holes and not worth asking.
Victoria was getting annoyed and frustrated. If she had to she would take them in the handy cap match, but considering there track record for foul play, she would prefer to have some sort of back up, and as much as she liked Lilian, she hoped to never get her involved in a match again.
"looks to me like the psycho is having trouble finding a partner" Melina sneered
"aww that's to bad." Nitro added wrapping his arms around his girlfriend as they both walked past Victoria and out the front door before the fuming brunette's fist could connect with one of there face's.
"Vicki?" Lilian came up behind her and trying to comfort her friend said "don't worry, I'm sure we can find someone at the arena"
"whether we find one or not, I'm going to maim that bitches face and castrate her stupid boy toy" with that she grabbed her bag and stormed out of the hotel to the rental car with Lilian running to keep up.
They had been at the arena for over an hour and both divas had tried to find someone for Victoria to team up with. She even asked the rest of the diva locker room, as a last resort, saying that she would taker care of Nitro, but no luck.
Raw was due to start in half an hour and Lilian had tried in vain to calm down her friend.
"Vicki please will you stop pacing" the blond diva said tying her hair in a neat ponytail for the night. "you're beginning to make me dizzy"
"fine" she huffed and stopped, now standing in the middle of the hall they were in, "hopefully Melina will start and I can take her out and focus on Nitro, but since I know I she is wimp that probably won't happen" she trailed of mumbling to herself.
Lilian sighed and just watched as Victoria paced once again in deep thought.
"ahh strategizing I see" coach observed approaching the two divas in the hall. "I take it then you haven't found a partner?"
Victoria stopped her pacing and simply stared at Coach.
"no" a deep voice said coming around the corner coach had just come from "she found a partner"
