Throughout the entire match both Rey and Summer were sending the crowds wild. When they first came out the crowd were a bit unsure of them, but they soon went crazy when they saw all of the highflying moves. It was an awesome match, as Rey and Summer planned it down to the last perfect pinning combination to get the victory. Everybody was cheering loudly for them as they celebrated in the ring and then when they exited to go backstage.
"Lil girl that was amazing" Rey said unfastening the Velcro strap under his chin that held his mask in place.
"I know that was incredible, I can't believe I was on live TV"
"Well you were amazing lil girl, especially how well that hurricanrana went on the outside apron"
"That was the scariest thing I've ever done"
"It was incredible, you should be pleased with yourself"
"I am that was amazing, the adrenaline rush you get from the fans is crazy"
"They loved us"
"I know that was really strange, at first I thought they weren't gonna take to us"
"But they did lil girl you should be proud, I know I am" Summer hugged Rey tightly but then he pulled back and said "I'll hug you later, hugging someone when you're sweaty kills the mood" Summer laughed as she let Rey go and he pointed to her and said "I'll catch ya later lil girl, you did great don't let anybody get you down!" then he turned around and headed for the lockers to shower and change.
Summer smiled as she herself was about to head to shower and change, but somebody locked their arms around her waist and spun her around. "Great match sis it was amazing!" Only Jeff did that to her, ever since they were little it was just one of his trademark gimmicks as being her crazy brother.
"Thanks Jeff, wanna stop spinning me round now?"
"Nope" is all Jeff replied as he continued spinning her round until he lost his balance and almost went crashing into a brick wall. But that brick wall however was the pair of Glen and Hunter. Jeff wheeled back after bouncing off of them, but tripped and came crashing down onto the floor with Summer still held in his arms. She didn't take much of the blow, as Jeff was her cushion. But she still laughed at it and said "Serves you right"
"You nearly winded me," Jeff said letting Summer roll off him so he could hold his chest.
"Serves you right for being such a dummy" Jeff just mumbled a reply as he got up with the help of Matt.
"I agree Jeffy, you shouldn't have been a big dummy" Hunter replied smirking as Jeff shot him a glare. "Yeah yeah" he mumbled as he sat down on one of the crates to catch his breath.
"Anyways, great match out there Summer" Hunter said putting his arm around Summer who smiled and said, "You really think so?"
"It was incredible, especially all of the outside manoeuvres you and Rey did, they were spectacular"
"They were scary to do"
"I bet they were, but you certainly gave King and Michael a lot to talk about. They would not shut up about you"
"Really? I'll have to watch the match back and listen"
"King loves you, kept talking about how pretty you were"
"Did he mention anything about us being related?" she asked towards Matt and Jeff who shook their heads.
"Nope, why? Has Vince said something?" Matt asked quite confused.
"Vince mumbled something about not wanting to mention something about me being a Hardy in case the fans think I'm trying to steal your limelight or summat stupid"
"But that's bullshit, you're not stealing anything from us. You've gone out there and paved your own way so they should be saying you're related to us" Jeff said sounding a little annoyed about that.
"Jeez relax Jeff I didn't want him to do it either but he thought it was best until I'm a little more advanced in my career to let it be known to everybody"
"What's he hiding?"
"I don't know, possible storylines? Hell I don't know Jeff" Summer said holding her hands up.
"I know sis I'm sorry, I just want him to give me and Matt another kick to get popular again"
"You are popular, you're both daring and taking things to the limit"
"It's just becoming a little stale"
"You got that right" Matt added into the conversation making Summer frown slightly, "Well see if you can do summat about it then, freshen things up a little, maybe adding a diva to the group" both Matt and Jeff snorted with laughter at that, "How could we possibly get a diva to team with us sis? They're all afraid of breaking their nails, Maryse complained last week because she broke a nail"
Summer laughed at that and got Matt to smile. "It was the silliest argument I have ever heard, she demanded a new acrylic one but the make-up crew said she'd just have to grow it again" again Summer laughed at how pathetic these divas were being. "Big deal, I nearly ripped my knees to shreds tonight"
"You didn't wear your kneepads again?" Matt said folding his arms and looking down at his sister.
"Maybe" is all Summer said before trying to change the subject, "Isn't it nice weather we're having…"
"Wait just a second missy, we've spoke about this. You must always wear your kneepads in any matches or promos you do"
"I did" both Matt and Jeff raised their eyebrows at that and Matt said "Okay show me them then"
"No"
"If you're wearing them you shouldn't hide them"
"I'm not hiding anything"
"Summer Grace Hardy do not lie to me"
"Jeez Matt don't middle name me"
"You do it to me"
"Only when you're being an ass"
"Can it Summer! Show me them" Summer was about to smirk and leg it but she felt someone hold her by the waist with force so she couldn't escape. "Do it Glen" she heard Hunter say,.
"Don't you dare" Summer tried to say seriously but Glen was tickling her legs as he rolled up the leg of her pants to reveal her knees. "You're ticklish on your legs?" Glen asked with a slight smirk.
"Yeah so" Glen's smirk got wider as he started to roll up the other leg on her pants and laughed when he revealed her bare legs, "You were lying darlin"
"So"
"So it means you lied to us Summer" Matt said sternly making Summer glare at him, "Look at the state of them, Summer you gotta remember these things"
"I know bu-"
"Obviously you don't know sis otherwise you'd wear them, our family have bad knees you know that, it runs in our genes and if you go out there every night without them then you'll be the youngest person to have a knee replacement" Summer sighed and felt Hunter loosen his grip so she could readjust her pants and pull the legs down. "I'm sorry okay, I wont do it again"
"Good, luckily they're not bleeding so just put ice on them and they'll be better for tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah remember dummy we're doing house shows too"
"Oh yeah, right"
"You're not dark matches anymore sis you're gonna be a famous diva"
"Eugh please don't say a word, to me I'm just a superstar like you all are"
"Well to us you are but in the real world, you're just a diva"
"Quit saying that" they all laughed and Hunter said "Aww what's the matter? Is the little diva getting angry?"
"This little diva is gonna kick your ass if you don't leave so I can shower and change" Hunter smiled and then herded the gang away so she could go and shower. "Come and meet us outside our locker room sis, then we can head out or back to the hotel for the night"
"Okay then, I'll see ya later ya'll" she called to them all as they all bid her goodbyes and headed off in another direction. Summer smiled to herself as she was grateful that she had managed to fit in easily without any problems, but then she thought about the whole Taker situation and frowned. He was just another ignorant jackass and she hoped that one day somebody would put him in his place.
As she strolled along the corridors she heard somebody snort, but she ignored it and carried on walking. Then she heard it again and looked up to see Undertaker hovering around, "I'm sorry, can I get you some water or something, to get rid of that stupid snort you're doing?"
Mark looked at her and glanced at her clothing, dressed completely the opposite of what a normal diva would wear, An orange t-shirt with blue fishnets and navy blue crop shorts with her sneakers. He snorted again and heard her say "Seriously get some water or summat, or maybe not… whatever is stuck in your throat might hopefully make you choke and die"
Mark narrowed his eyes and took off his shades. "What's your problem girl?"
"My problem? what the hell is your problem?"
"My problem is you and your bitchy attitude, bitching about me and the divas"
"I'm sorry but you must seriously live in your own dream world and make it up as you go along, you obviously didn't understand me earlier when I called you an ignorant ass hole"
"And you obviously didn't hear me when I told you that you better watch your damn mouth"
"Nobody tells me what to do, especially big stupid apes like you" Mark stepped forward to her and said "What are you gonna do? You can't even wrestle"
"Excuse me?"
"I said you couldn't wrestle, you deaf or just stupid?"
"Did you even watch my match tonight?"
"Yeah, seemed like Rey was doing the work" Summer felt herself getting angry again and said "You are quite possibly the most ignorant complete waste of space I have EVER met"
"I've heard that before darlin' ain't nothin' to worry about"
"Yes it is, you treat people like crap when you don't even know them. I know Dawn is your little fuck buddy and she's just as pathetic as you, now if you'll excuse me, I've got somewhere to head to"
"I ain't stoppin' ya, although the extra baggage you're carrying might" Summer lost it at that point and slapped Mark so hard in the face is sent tingles down her hand. Mark barely flinched from the connection of her hand but she could see the red mark forming already.
Mark narrowed his eyes as he put a hand to his cheek and said, "Do that again, I dare ya"
"You know I would but I've got more important things to do, like kicking your pathetic excuse for a girlfriends ass"
"She is not my girlfriend"
"Ohhh so she's your little fuck buddy? Well I gotta admit that you have low standards if you're with her, but don't worry there's plenty more choice in the locker room but they're probably all stretched out but still go ahead" With that said she walked down the corridor before Mark could even react. She knew that she acted like a bitch, a thing she ever rarely did but Mark seriously got under her skin, especially by having the nerve to say she couldn't wrestle.
Obviously he hadn't watched the match properly if he thought Rey did all the work, it was all spread out equally between all 4 opponents. "Jerk" is all Summer mumbled as she pushed open the door to the women's locker room. All eyes were on her for a while before all the divas made disgusted noises and separated and did their own things. Summer just shook her head and closed the door whilst still getting occasional glares.
But the one diva that spoke to her was Ashley, they were both newcomers and stuck by each other and found out they had a lot in common and same taste in music. "Hey man that was an awesome match" Ashley said as she was sorting her hair out, trying to untangle it from her match tonight. "Thanks, it was just an amazing experience to be out there on live TV"
"I know it's amazing isn't it? When all the cameras are focused on you, your music playing, the crowd cheering… god it's giving me chills"
"Stop it, I've just wound myself down from the adrenaline and you talking about it, is gonna bring it all back"
Ashley laughed and said "Sorry dude"
"No worries" Summer said giving Ashley a warm smile, which she returned. But she lowered her head when Dawn came sauntering out of the showers drying her hair. "What do you think I should wear for my date tonight?"
"Preferably clothes, but I forgot that's not your style" Ashley sneered getting a glare off of Dawn. "Little Ashley, haven't you got some growing up to do" Ashley stood up from the bench but Summer pulled her back down, "She isn't worth it sweetie, trust me"
"Why'd you say that?" Ashley asked after some of the divas left with their luggage leaving the locker room deserted. Dawn had sauntered into another room to get dressed for her date for the night.
"She's been causing a little bit of trouble for me"
"Ohh that was you they're talking about?"
"What?" Summer asked confused but also angry. Ashley was hesitant to answer for a while before saying, "You're the talk of the locker room right now, and Dawn said that you've been bitching about everybody"
"Saying what exactly?"
"That you're better than all of us combined and that you deserve your own locker room so you don't have to get changed with scum like us"
"And you believe her?"
"No course not, you've only just started here"
"So have you"
"But that was 6 months ago and the heat died down on me, it happens to everybody who is new"
"I know Matt and Jeff warned me"
"So they are your brothers then"
"Yeah, why?"
"Just Dawn again…saying that you're lying to everybody so that you can get a big push"
"Oh man what a load of crap! She sure can shit stir"
"I also heard she's causing trouble between you and another superstar"
"Yeah that's true"
"Who exactly?"
"Taker"
"What? Taker as in The Undertaker?"
"Yup"
"Why?"
"Because it took me 3 weeks before I introduced myself to him. The guy's huge, I was scared!"
"I know babe, it was hard for me too. But in the end, me and Maria sucked up the courage and did it"
"How'd it go?"
"Nodded his head, then snorted and walked away"
"See this is what I hate, he treats us like shit. He's certainly got the correct reputation of being an ignorant ass"
"And he's pretty much wrapped around Dawn's finger"
"I know, that's why he hates me so much. I reckon she's chatting shit about me to him and he's just eating it up"
"Any way to convince him?"
"Nope, he's as stubborn as a mule, there's no way he's gonna believe me and now I've got a reputation of being a bitchy, stuck up, lying, rumour spreading diva. So far, this job sucks ass" Summer sighed and ran her hand through her hair.
Ashley hugged her though and said "Chin up babe, there's gotta be some light at the end of the tunnel. Look at how you've taken off already and that was only your first TV recorded match. The fans adored you and Rey… that tag team is special. Things like that don't happen often so just enjoy the ride before Vince starts placing you in ridiculous storylines"
"He said he's already got the writers going crazy with ideas"
"See there you go, you're more popular than those divas combined. The only thing they can do is fling a pillow at somebody or just open their legs"
"You're amazing too, the way you fight is almost like Chyna"
"Well she was my idol"
"I reckon I could give you a run for your money"
"You think? We'll have to speak to Vince about it"
"I think we should, I've gotta stop wrestling the guys at some point, the fans will start to get bored of it soon"
"I suppose, but being partnered with Rey is awesome. Your tag team could go far, that is only if the writers don't screw with it too much and ruin the special bond you share"
"I wouldn't hold my breath, they're changing things all the time in this place. Anyway sweetie I gotta go shower, change and meet my loopy brothers in a bit to head off to the hotel. Wanna catch a lift?"
"Yeah sure, I'm not doing anything. I'll wait for ya" Summer smiled then grabbed her clothes and headed into the shower block to shower and change into her street clothes. Ashley put her iPod on, so she wasn't aware that Dawn was leaning in one of the doorframes smirking. She'd listened to everything they had said, so now she had more dirt on Summer so she could make her life a living hell with Mark. Soon Dawn would get the whole locker room to hate her, so she'd have no choice but to quit and run away crying. Dawn laughed quietly to herself as she shut the door to her room to continue getting ready for her date with Mark.
