January 24th, 2005- Raw

Dave holds open the door for Nikki and smiles at her. They walk into the building and turn to wait for Paul and Ric. They enter and all four of them head to the locker room. Paul pushes his way past Nikki and sits down on the couch. Nikki looks at Dave and he just shrugs and shakes his head.

"Did you hear how tonight is J.R night?" Paul asks, a smirk on his face, "I say we crash his little party."

Ric nods and Nikki sighs in disgust before storming out of the room.

"What's eating her?" Paul states, glancing at Dave.

"Beats me. I'll go after her," Dave sighs, walking out of the room.

Nikki walks down the hall, mumbling to herself when she hears a voice from behind her.

"You know talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity," a male voice states.

"Well I'm already insane, so it won't hurt too much," Nikki jokes, turning to face Adam.

Adam steps closer to Nikki and she takes a step away from him.

"I don't bite," he states, smirking.

"Maybe she just doesn't like you," another voice speaks up.

Nikki turns to see Shawn standing there, glaring at Adam.

"No one asked you Michaels," Adam spits out, his anger rising.

"Chill out Copeland, it's a free country. I can talk to Nikki if I want to."

Adam lets out an angry sigh and turns back to Nikki.

"So what's got you so pissed?"

"That she's talking to a loser like you," Shawn says under his breath.

"Listen HAS-BEEN-KID, don't get all pissed off because she wants to talk to a real man," Adam states, letting his anger loose.

"No, you listen you punk ass kid, you'll never be a real man," Shane replies, taking a step back.

Shawn brings his leg up to super kick Adam, but Adam pulls Nikki in the way, letting her take the kick instead. She lets out a small scream as she crumples to the floor. Dave hears the scream and rushes towards it. He turns the corner to see Adam and Shawn standing over Nikki's limp body.

"What the hell happened!" Dave yells, storming up to them.

"Oh shit, I'm out of here," Adam dashes down the hall, away from Dave.

Dave kneels down next to Nikki and scoops her up.

"Dave, I'm sorry. Adam…" Shawn starts but Dave cuts him off.

"Shut up! Get out of here!" Dave yells, standing up, "you'll pay for this."

"Listen big man, it was an accident. Adam pissed me off so I had to get him back. I went to kick him and that little prick pulled Nik in front of him to protect himself," Shawn explains.

Dave ignores him and walks away, cradling Nikki in his arms. He kicks open the locker room door, causing Ric and Paul to look up.

"Move."

Ric and Paul stand up from the couch allowing Dave to lay Nikki down.

"What happened?" Ric asks, kneeling down next to the couch.

"Copeland," Dave growls, brushing her hair away from her face, "get some ice."

Ric gets up and rushes out of the room as Paul just stands there. A bruise is starting to form on her chin as Ric comes back in.

"Come on baby, wake up," Dave touches Nikki's cheek softly.

Nikki moans softly and Dave holds the ice on her face. She opens her eyes slowly and Dave smiles down at her.

"Welcome back," Ric says, causing Paul to roll his eyes, "feeling alright?"

"My whole face hurts, what happened?" She mumbles, staring up at Dave.

"Copeland didn't want to get super-kicked, so he pulled you in front of him to save himself."

"Sounds like Adam," Ric states turning to Paul, "glad she's ok."

"Yeah, sure," Paul replies, uncaring, "come on Ric. Lets go crash the party."

Paul leaves with Ric trailing behind. Dave sighs and looks back down at Nikki. She smiles up at him and he smiles back.

"Did I ever tell you how cute you are when you smile?" Dave says softly, brushing his hand across her cheek.

He leans down and kisses her, and she wraps her arms around his neck. There's a knock at the door and they look up to see Shawn enter.

"Hey Nik, feeling better?" He asks, looking cautiously at Dave.

"I'm better, but I'll have some bruise," she replies, adding a smile, "it's not your fault anyways."

"I still feel bad. Well, I just wanted to check up on you," Shawn says, waving, "see you."

"Bye Shawn," Nikki turns to Dave and he rolls his eyes, "can't you get along with anyone?"

"I get along with you," Dave states, smirking, "really well."

"Well, that's a good thing since we're dating," Nikki jokes, pulling Dave down by his tie, "come here you big lug."

He chuckles before claiming her mouth with his.

Dave is sitting in the locker room as Nikki is in the bathroom, trying to cover the bruise. He hears a girl yelling and then Paul enters the locker room, laughing.

"Dave, man, you missed it. Ric nailed JR right in the grapefruits," Paul chuckles, slapping Ric on the back.

Dave raises an eyebrow and shakes his head. Nikki exits the bathroom and joins Dave, Paul and Ric. Crossing his arms across his chest, Paul continues.

"Danny Hodge, remember him? Well he tried to get involved and we kicked his ass."

"How old is that guy anyways?" Dave questions, not impressed with what Paul's saying.

"Ancient. Then I grabbed Stacy and told her to give a real man a kiss and she got all pissy, so I went to put her in a pedigree…"

"Wait, Stacy Keibler? 100 something pound Stacy?" Dave states, shaking his head again.

"Yeah, but Orton came out and made the save, no big deal."

"Listen Hunter, I'm going to take the Rumble qualifying match because if you lose the title by some chance, we have all our bases covered. I got to get going, Bischoff needs to see me," Dave says, hurrying out of the room.

Paul watches him leave before turning to Nikki.

"What ideas did you put in his head?" He demands.

"Me? Ideas? Naw," Nikki states innocently, "I'm just going to go… now."

Nikki rushes out after Dave. She catches up with him and they enter Bischoff's office, interrupting La Resistance.

"I'll take my qualifying match," Dave states, glaring at the two men.

"Wait, we have a better idea. How about a handicap match? If we win, we get the last two spots in the Rumble. If you win…which I doubt it… you get it," Sylvain suggests, a smile on his face.

"Good, then I can beat both your asses," Dave smirks.

"After we win, I'm going to shove my Quebec flag down your throat," Rob Conway says, smiling.

"Oh really? Well when I win, I'm going to shove that flag some where else," Dave chuckles, walking away, pulling Nikki with him.

They see Randy and Courtney walking down the hall together and they stop to talk to them. Suddenly, a smile comes across Dave's face and he turns to Nikki.

"What?" Nikki asks, "what are you thinking?"

"How would you like to accompany me to the ring tonight?" Dave states, smirking.

"Me!" Nikki yelps, "but…I..."

"Come on," Dave begs, his voice dropping, "do it for me, baby."

"If things go to hell, I'll run out there and flash everybody," Courtney suggests, giggling as Nikki glares at her.

"Oh thanks, that's what I need, to see your boobs again," Nikki replies, rolling her eyes.

Randy, who wasn't paying attention to the conversation, suddenly perks up.

"Whoa! Wait! When did this happen and why wasn't I invited!" Randy exclaims, looking at the two girls.

"You've already seen my boobs a couple of times," Courtney says to Randy.

"Ok that was just way too much information," Dave states, shaking his head.

"But Dave, you've seen Nikki's," Courtney giggles as Dave gives her a look, "come on, I know you have."

"Courtney!" Nikki exclaims, turning to her friend.

"I agree, you guys have been going at it like rabbits, you would've had to seen something," Randy speaks up, nodding.

Dave chuckles as Nikki just stands there, shocked at Randy and C.

"Yeah well, thanks for helping me a lot with this whole going out to the ring thing. Talking about my sex life helped a ton," Nikki states sarcastically.

"No problem, glad we could help," C and Randy say at the same time, laughing.

"Are you going to come out or not? We're up next," Dave reminds her, turning towards her.

"Yes, I'll come down to the ring with you."

Dave gives her a big hug and together, they head towards the thing. La Resistance are already out in the ring when Dave's music hits. Dave comes out and looks over his shoulder and motions for Nikki to follow. Nikki emerges from the curtains and Dave slips his arm around her shoulders and kisses her cheek softly. Dave runs up the stairs and Nikki stands ringside as Dave attacks Grenier from behind. Dave starts to beat both men around the ring and he goes for the powerbomb on Conway, but Grenier blocks it. Dave throws him into the turnbuckle and goes for a shoulder block but Conway pulls Grenier out of the way, sending Dave, shoulder, first, into the post. Both Conway and Grenier beat up on him, but Dave struggles and finally gets to his feet. He grabs both men by the throat, tossing Conway to the side and gives Grenier a powerbomb. Dave then picks up Conway and gives him a spinebuster onto Grenier. Nikki cheers Dave on as he pins both men for the 3 count.

Nikki rushes into the ring and gives Dave a big hug. He pulls away and walks over to the corner, picking up the Quebec flag. Nikki giggles as Dave shoves it between the two men's legs. He then poses before the two slip out of the ring. Dave picks Nikki up and puts her on his shoulder as they head up the ramp. Paul watches on, angrily throwing his water bottle against the wall.

"He needs to be stopped," Paul growls to Ric.

"Someone will stop him at the Rumble," Ric reassures him, watching Dave and Nikki disappear behind the curtain, "don't worry."

Paul glares at the blank screen and then smirks.

"I think I know how to stop him," Paul chuckles, turning to Ric, "take out his precious Nikki."

"Champ, I don't think…" Ric starts but Paul cuts him off.

"We'll see how tough he is without her by his side."

Back at the hotel, later

Randy, Courtney, Dave, and Nikki are all sitting around in Dave and Nikki's room after Raw. Empty pizza containers are on the table as they laugh about Nikki's first appearance on Raw TV.

"You did a great job baby," Dave says, smiling at her, "you're a pro."

"Aw, thanks hon," Nikki kisses him softly.

"You know what would've been hilarious? If you would've dropped her when you put her on your shoulder," Courtney giggles as Nikki shakes her head.

"You'd love to see me make an ass out of myself, wouldn't you?" Nikki states, sticking her tongue out at C.

"If I wanted to that, I'd just get you drunk," C shoots back, tossing a quarter at Nikki, "wanna see if that quarter bounces off Dave's ass?"

Nikki throws the coin back at Courtney who moves out of the way of the flying coin. Dave and Randy chuckle at the two women's antics.

"You know what Nik, I'd love for you to come out to the ring with me all the time," Dave interrupts, turning towards Nikki, "it'd be fun."

"I'd love to do that. I had a blast tonight," Nikki replies, kissing him again, "it'll be great. Nothing can stop us now."
