I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING BESIDES THE OC'S.
The next morning Shannon's phone went off at 10 a.m., everyone was grumpy from it being so early.
"Why the hell did you set your alarm?" Toes asked grumpily.
"Because if I didn't, we wouldn't have woken up and would have been yelled at for being late and/or not showing up." Shannon said.
"Just get up you bitches." Fin said as she moved hair out of her eyes.
"Your only trying to defend him because if you don't you know that we will beat his ass." Maddie said as she tried to stretch.
"Dude, wait until you get off the bed to stretch, you can poke someone's eye out with your elbow." Fin said pushing Maddie's arm.
"Know what I learned, not to wake you guys up early if you're tired." Shannon said climbing out of the bed.
"Shannon, where are you going?" Fin said upset.
"I'll be back; I am just going to go take a shower." Shannon said grabbing clean clothing.
"Shower splower, there is always time to cuddle, get back here." Fin said.
"If I don't go shower, you won't have more time to sleep." Shannon said.
"Fine, just go shower." Toes said as she rolled over onto her stomach.
"I don't care as long as I can sleep." Maddie said throwing the blanket over her head.
"Just go back to sleep bitches." Shannon said as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
"I am surprised you don't want to go shower with him." Toes said into the pillow.
"Shut up, and go back to sleep." Fin said smacking her sister with her pillow.
"Hello, I am trying to sleep here." Maddie said.
"Sorry, it's your own fault for deciding to sleep between the two of us." Toes said.
"I should have slept between Shannon and Fin, those two were annoying me last night." Maddie said.
"We didn't do anything, we just cuddled." Fin said rolling over to where she had her back to them.
"You must not have heard you two moaning and groaning last night." Toes said.
"We were not." Fin said.
"Oh Shannon, Oh Shannon!" Maddie said teasingly, Fin reached behind her and hit Maddie wherever she could reach.
"Hey, I do not remember that." Fin said.
"Because you were asleep." Toes said.
"You were asleep as well." Fin said.
"She's got you there." Maddie said.
"You don't have any room to talk, you were agreeing and going along with it, you were asleep as well Ms. Snorer." Fin said.
"I do not snore." Maddie said offensively.
"Yes you do." Toes said joining in the argument.
"No I don't, it was Toes snoring." Maddie said trying to blame someone else.
"I know it isn't Toes, because she is my sister and I have lived with her A LONG time and I know that she doesn't snore." Fin said.
"It could be you or Shannon." Maddie said as Shannon walked out of the bathroom from his quick shower.
"What about me?" Shannon asked.
"You snore." Maddie said.
"Do I really?" Shannon asked.
"No you don't, Maddie here does and she is blaming everyone else." Toes said.
"Phew, because I heard snoring last night and if it was me snoring I thought I would have known." Shannon said.
"Am I really that loud of a snorer?" Maddie asked.
"You finally admit that you snore." Fin said.
"I have been told that I have, but I hate admitting it, it might scare Matt away." Maddie said.
"Matt would be stupid if a little snoring scares him, the dude snores himself." Shannon said.
"He snores?" Fin asked rolling over to look at her boyfriend.
"Yeah, you didn't know that." Shannon said.
"I didn't hear him snore when I slept over." Maddie said.
"You were probably overpowering his snore with your own." Toes said.
"Shut up." Maddie said pushing Toes causing her to fall off the bed.
"What was that for?" Toes said as Shannon busted up laughing from where he was standing in front of the mirror.
"My bad, I didn't know you were that close to the edge." Maddie said rolling over to look down at Toes who was lying on the floor between the bed and the wall.
"Guess what, I was." Toes said as she tried to get up as Fin stood up from the bed.
"Now where are you going?" Maddie asked.
"I am going to take a shower, is that a problem?" Fin asked as she grabbed her clothing.
"Yes! I can get this whole bed to myself." Maddie said spreading out on the now empty bed.
"No you won't, not for much longer." Toes said as she was able to get to her feet and climb back onto the bed.
"Get your own bed." Maddie said.
"I don't want the broken bed." Toes said.
"You broke it." Shannon said.
"You were a part of the bed breaking, you should get the bed." Maddie said.
"I am up and about getting ready; you two are the lazy bitches that won't get up." Shannon said pulling out his brushes.
"Your not going to do a Mo-hawk now are you?" Toes asked sitting up resting on her hands.
"Now, just brushing through it to make sure it was ready for the Mo-hawk." Shannon said pulling out his gym bag to pack for the arena.
"Thank god, that probably would have taken another hour." Maddie said as she snuggled under the blanket.
"No it won't, your just jealous because you can't do a Mo-hawk with your hair." Shannon said.
"Yes, that's right, I am just jealous." Maddie said.
"No, she's just mad because she snores." Toes said as Fin walked out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped up in a towel.
"I should feed the puppies." Fin said as she saw Teddy and Willow looking into their bowls.
"I am going to take my shower, let Maddie sleep, she is a little grumpy." Toes said.
"I am not grumpy." Maddie said. Fin mouthed the word 'Whatever' to Shannon and Toes as Maddie slowly fell back asleep.
"So, Fin now that Toes is in the shower and Maddie's asleep, what do you say?" Shannon said walking up behind Fin who is bent over to fill the dog's food dishes.
"We don't have time." Maddie said with her eyes still shut. Fin and Shannon turned to look at Maddie, Fin busted up laughing.
"You got cut down at the knees." Fin said smiling as she stood up and turned around to face Shannon.
"I know, I am always being cut down at the knees." Shannon said as he moved a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"I am so sorry sweetie." Fin said kissing his lips lightly as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. They broke the kiss, Fin rested her head on his chest, and he rested his chin on her head.
"Did I interrupt something?" Toes said walking out from the bathroom.
"No, we are just cuddling." Shannon said as he wouldn't let Fin go.
"Should we wake Maddie?" Fin asked looking at the now snoring sleeping Maddie, and then over at the clock that read 11:30.
"Well, we have an hour until we have to ABSOLUTELY leave, because it should take us no more than 30 minutes to get to the arena." Toes said.
"Right, do you think Matt, Jeff, and Gregory would be down here earlier?" Fin asked.
"I doubt it; they usually wait to the last minute to get ready and to leave." Shannon said.
"You should know, you traveled with them enough." Toes said as she was able to climb onto the broken bed to put her socks and shoes on.
"I fed the dogs, so they are well fed." Fin said.
"Okay, are you guys planning to leave?" Toes asked as she slipped on her right shoe.
"Do you want to go somewhere?" Shannon said kissing Fin's head.
"You want to go for a walk?" Fin asked moving to look up at him.
"You two love birds go for a walk, I will stay here or I will go see Gregory, I don't want to wake grumpy pants by talking on the phone." Toes said.
"Alright, we will have both our phones." Shannon said as Fin grabbed a room key and led Shannon out of the room.
"Those two are so cute." Toes said.
Fin's Point of View-
"So, now we are alone in this hallway." I said wrapping my arms around Shannon's neck.
"You're a kinky bitch." Shannon said kissing me on the lips roughly.
"You have been hanging around Maddie and Toes way too long." I said jokingly.
"I know, now that I have you alone, don't worry about them. Where you want to walk to?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him.
"I don't know, around the hotel, even though there probably isn't very much to see." I said.
"Or we can go downstairs and get some breakfast." Shannon said.
"That we can do, are you hungry?" I asked rubbing his tummy.
"Yes, my fat bulge needs to get bigger." Shannon said putting his hand over my hand as he pulled my hand off his fat bulge and we walked down the hallway hand and hand.
"So, what are you getting for breakfast?" I asked as he pushed the down arrow at the elevator.
"Probably some French toast." Shannon said.
"I am going for a bowl of cereal or oat meal." I said as I leaned against him for support.
"Are we going to be able to eat in 30 minutes?"
"We will try though, if not we can get it to go." I said as the elevator doors opened and we climbed on, we were the only ones on the elevator.
"Hey, I never done it on the elevator, you want to give it a whirl?" Shannon said smiling at me with his big blue eyes.
"No, you really are a pervert." I said ruffling his hair.
"I just fixed my hair and you just ruined it."
"I am sorry, does this make it up?" I asked as I kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Yes, very much so." He said as the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. We walked off with him behind me with his hands on my hips.
"So, you want to sit down and eat?" I asked as we walked into the little restaurant type area that still had the continental breakfast set up.
"Sure, we should get a booth so we could cuddle while we eat." Shannon whispered into my ear.
"Well, I guess that would work." I said as we went up to the tables that had food on it, I grabbed a bowl along with a little box of Apple Jacks and a little carton of milk, I walked over and claimed a booth for Shannon and I. Shannon made himself a plate of fruit, he grabbed some scrambled eggs, and a French toast, he then grabbed two bottles of Apple Juice for us, he walked over and slid in next to me.
"Someone is hungry; I am so stealing a strawberry." I said as I grabbed a strawberry off his plate as he grabbed an Apple Jack from my bowl.
"Shut up, my fat bulge needs more fat." Shannon said as he wrapped one arm around me and I slid a foot under my other leg as I leant in closer to Shannon. "Do you ever eat hot breakfasts; I have always heard or seen you eat bowls of cereal?"
"I love my cereal, cereal beats everything else." I said as I ate a bite of my cereal.
"So, as long as there is a good supply of cereal and milk in the house you will be happy." Shannon said as he finished his fruit.
"Yes sir, cereal could be eaten at any meal." I said as I took a drink of my Apple Juice.
"You got a point there, so is Maddie always that grumpy in the morning?"
"Not really, it depends on how much sleep she gets, as long as she gets enough sleep she wouldn't be that grumpy. Plus, she has been stressing out lately over this audition." I said.
"The auditions are very stressful, and a lot of work, but I am sure she's got it, she's pretty good at wrestling." Shannon said as he dug into his French Toast.
"I know, she is very good at wrestling, but I mean I was stressed and worried when I knew I had to audition."
"Yeah, but you knocked it out."
"I know, but she is as good as Toes and I, maybe even better." I said as I finished my cereal and left my spoon in my bowl.
"You're not going to drink the milk that is left over in your bowl?" Shannon asked looking in the bowl that had milk still in it.
"I don't drink the left over milk, I think it is disgusting, my opinion though." I said as I rest against him and leant my head on his shoulder.
"Okay, whatever." Shannon said as he finished his food.
"Are you any bit tired?"
"Yeah, but I know that I am going to sleep in tomorrow since we have nothing planned tomorrow."
"We do have stuff planned, we are planning for the cook-out, and you are involved with that." I said as I scratched his chin.
"Do I really? I thought that since it's at your house you will be planning it." Shannon said as he looked over at me.
"Nope, I am pulling you into it, considered your self volunteered." I said as I sat up and started to slide out of the booth with my bowl.
"Why can't Matt or Gregory do it?"
"Well because you're the one that will be staying the night at our apartment aren't you?" I said smiling.
"Maybe I don't want to stay at your house?" Shannon said as he climbed out and threw away his plate and silverware as I threw away my bowl.
"Then consider yourself staying at the hotel or in the car." I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Fine." Shannon said as he kissed my forehead.
"Would you be able to handle a night without me?" I asked as I turned around and led him towards the elevator.
"Probably, I will see. Was that a half hour?" Shannon asked.
"It probably was, hopefully she is better. I don't think that I will last one night without you." I said as I grabbed his hand and intervened my fingers with his.
"Is someone attached to me?"
"You're my anti-drug."
"But just as addictive, I am guessing." Shannon said as he pushed the up button as he kissed me on the lips.
"Yep, plus we need another person to help clean and get ready for the cook-out." I said.
"Are you just going out with me because of this cook out?" Shannon asked as the doors opened for the elevator.
"Yes Shannon, I am going out with just because of this cookout." I said as I climbed onto the elevator followed by Shannon, again nobody was on the elevator.
"This hotel is like dead, no body is walking about or even on the elevators." Shannon said.
"I know, but some people are asleep, or have already checked out." I said as I leaned against him and he wrapped his arms around me, I put my hands on his arms.
"True, our flight is tonight, do we have any more pranks up our sleeves?"
"No, probably not since we don't have our partners in crime." I said.
"True, I am probably going to sleep." Shannon said.
"I will be lying on you while I sleep as well."
"I know, I was expecting nothing more."
"I have been good on flights lately." I said as I turned my head a little to look at his face, he was now smiling now.
"Yes, you have been doing better on staying up." Shannon said as the elevator came to a stop and we climbed off.
"Thank you, so yeah, what would you think if I dyed my hair differently?" I asked as we walked down the hallway.
"What color were you thinking?"
"Maybe black, blue or purple." I said as we reached the room, but I walked past it and leaned against the wall, he stood in front of me.
"I can help you dye it if you want." Shannon said as he ran his hand through my hair.
"Maddie and I have been talking for a long time, but not recently, but we have been talking about getting matching tattoos, you want to do it?" I asked as he scooted closer to me.
"No problem, when we get back to North Carolina, I am sure that me and Shane would have no problem doing your guy's tattoos. What about your hair dye?"
"I haven't really thought it out all the way through yet." I said.
Toes Point of View-
I called Gregory to see if he was up and was still at the hotel.
"Hey Gregory, you up?" I asked.
"Obviously I am up if I picked up the phone, what's up?" Gregory said.
"I was wondering if I can come down and hang out with you for a little while."
"Sure, if you don't mind a mess and the other dudes."
"I will be down there in like 5 minutes or less." I said as I turned to see Maddie still fast asleep.
"Okay, love you babe." Gregory said as I heard him open the refrigerator in the background.
"Love you too." I said as I hung up the phone and slid it into my pocket. I grabbed my room key and my camera because you never know when you need to take a random photo. I walked out of the hotel room and quietly shut the door behind me to try not to wake up Maddie. I walked down the hallway to find nobody walking about, and I knocked on the door. Jeff opened the door with his shirt off and a tooth brush in his mouth.
"Come in." Jeff said as best he can with a tooth brush in his mouth.
"Thanks, and you talk?" I said jokingly.
"Very funny, I thought you won't to talk to me?" Jeff said as he pulled out his tooth brush and it sounded funny because he had spit in his mouth.
"I never said I wouldn't talk to you, I am still pissed at you but I am waiting for an apology to me, Maddie, Fin, and to Shannon." I said as Gregory walked around the corner with a towel wrapped around his neck.
"Thanks for telling me she was here Jeff." Gregory said.
"My bad." Jeff said as he walked away.
"Why did you want to hang out this early? Shouldn't you be heading to the arena to train or to talk Shawn?" Gregory asked.
"Do I have to have a reason to hang out with my baby?" I asked as I walked closer to him and rested my hands on his chest.
"You don't have to, but I thought you were going to the arena early?"
"We are, but we decided to let Maddie sleep a little longer." I explained as I followed him to his room that he shared with MVP.
"Where did Shannon and Fin go?"
"Who knows, they just said they wanted alone time. Where's Matt?" I asked.
"He's in the other room; don't know what he's doing."
"Probably thinking or dreaming about Maddie." I said as I kissed him on the lips gently.
"Hello, in the room." MVP said.
"You can easily stand up and leave." Gregory said.
"Fine, whatever." MVP said as he got up and left the room.
"So, any matches tonight?" I asked as I sat on his bed.
"I might, I don't know I have to talk to Shawn. Be careful on the bed, I don't want it to break."
"I can't break it by myself."
"Good, but have you had breakfast yet?" Gregory asked as he threw the towel aside and started packing his bags.
"Not yet, but I am not that hungry, I will go for some orange juice or something." I said as I stood up and he wrapped his arms around me as we walked out of the room.
"I don't think we have any orange juice, but we might have sunny delight." Gregory said as he let go of me as he went to look at the refrigerator to pour me a glass. I climbed up onto the breakfast bar stool, and Matt came out and sat down next to me.
"Good morning sunshine." I said looking at Matt.
"Morning, someone is cheery this morning." Matt said as he rubbed his eyes.
"Yep, I loved being cuddled last night by Maddie." I said as Gregory set a glass full of sunny delight in front of me.
"I know, she is a good cuddler." Matt said as he rested his head on his hands that were on the bar.
"Whatever you guys, so matches tonight?" Gregory asked.
"I think I might have a match against Mark Henry." Matt said.
"I might have a match against Victoria, but I have to talk to Shawn to find out, or I might just escort you out Gregory." I said as I started to drink my sunny delight when Jeff walked into the kitchen.
"What about you, do you have a match tonight?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, I have a match tonight." Jeff said as he grabbed a bottle of water.
"Against who?" I asked.
"No one big." Jeff said leaning against the counter taking a swig of his water.
"Whatever, so when we leaving?" Matt asked.
"Whenever Maddie wakes up, I am going to go back in a half hour." I said finishing up my juice.
"She's still asleep?" Jeff asked as he left the kitchen.
"Yeah, she's a bitch when she's tired or stressed out, and right now, she's both." I explained as Gregory rinsed out my glass.
"So, basically we are leaving at like 12:30ish?" Matt said as he climbed off his seat and walked towards the bathroom.
"Yeah, you guys get the Mini-Van after tonight, if you guys drive us to the airport." I said.
"You guys fly out tonight?" Gregory asked.
"Yeah, is that a big problem with you guys?" I asked as I got off my seat and sat on the edge of the couch.
"No big problem, but isn't it out to Shannon's name?" Jeff asked as he sat at the other end.
"You're really vocal today, yeah, I think it's in Shannon's name." I said.
"We can't check it in, he does." Gregory said as he sat down and pulled me onto his lap.
"What you guys going to do then?" I asked.
"We can take a cab or something." Matt said as he walked back out into the living room area dressed and his gym bag over his shoulder.
"Okay, well, I should get going back to the room to wake Maddie up." I said looking at the cell phone clock and climbed off the edge of the couch.
"See you soon." Matt said as I kissed Gregory on the lips.
"Okay, love you." I said as I hugged Matt.
"Bye Toes." Jeff yelled, I turned around and just looked at him, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to say bye and make it seem like I am over everything, because I am not, but I felt rude for not saying bye. I walked out of the hotel room and I looked down towards my room to see Shannon and Fin standing outside it.
"Hey guys, no love making in the hallway." I said, they both turned down at me.
"I thought you were still in the room, how's Gregory?" Fin asked as she stood up into Shannon.
"He's good; I think that Jeff is coming around, because he is more talkative today." I said as I walked towards them.
"Really, that's odd." Shannon said as he backed up a little from Fin.
"I know, it's really odd of him to talk that much lately, especially to us." I said as I pulled out my key and swiped it to allow us in. We walked into the hotel, and Maddie was up and sitting on the corner of the bed.
