Disclaimer: You've heard it before.

Allo! Welcome back again, last time we saw a Wrestlemania rematch between the Cena brothers and it seem that John came off the worst. What is his condition? Where will Jason go from here? How much longer will this Fanfic last? Dunno, let's find out!

Here We Go!

Brotherly Hate-Chapter Sixty Four-An Old Score

Mara Daniels smiled and settled herself more comfortably in her boyfriends arms, the past week had been good to both her and Jason following what had gone down on Smackdown, it was weird, and slightly scary, but doing what Jason had done to John had had an amazing affect on Jason. From the moment he driven that chair into John's leg it seemed a huge weight had been lifted off Jason's shoulders, he was laughing a lot, smiling, generally being the teenager he was supposed to be, he had never been so happy and alive the whole time she had known him.

"And to think it took trying to break his own brothers' leg to do that" she thought, it truly was weird. His newfound attitude had also had an affect on their relationship with each other, they were closer, more open and a lot happier in each others company. She looked at him, he was still asleep with a huge smile on his face, it had been a while since he had slept well, let alone smile while he did, she ran a hand through his hair and down his face, he stirred slightly but didn't wake up, she rested her head on his chest and went back to thinking, this time it was about work. During the week the whole Smackdown roster had been informed that Vince McMahon had brought back Saturday Night's Main Event, this essentially gave the brands in WWE another chance to show their superiority, Teddy Long had already decided that Rey Mysterio would defend his WWE title during the event but had left it open as to who would compete, all he had said was that whichever superstar impressed him the most would receive the shot, something Jason had taken to heart. Mara also was going to be busy, the Divas on both brands were both going to compete in battle royals then the winners of those would face each other one-on-one.

"My chance to shine" she thought, maybe a big win over someone like Trish Stratus and Mickie James may get her a women's title shot. "If Melina's allowed then I damn well should"

She smiled again when Jason muttered something to himself again, she turned to look at him and his eyes opened.

"Hey".

"Morning".

"Watcha doing?"

"Thinking".

"About me?"

She laughed. "Don't flatter yourself".

"Sorry, but when I see my girlfriend, my hot girlfriend, looking at me and smiling then I tend to assume she's thinking about me".

"You have a high opinion of yourself don't you?"

"Yup, what time is it?"

"Nine".

"What time's the show?"

"Seven".

"Great! Eight more hours of sleep".

Mara laughed as he lay back down and pulled the covers over himself again. "Well you can stay in bed all day but I'm getting up".

"No you're not" replied Jason pulling her back down and holding her to him. "You're gonna stay here all day and keep me company".

"And if I refuse?"

"Well" he seemed to think about it then an evil grin crossed his face. "Then I'll have to 'persuade' you".

"What do you… no! No tickling! That's not fair!"

She tried to jump out of bed but Jason grabbed her and pulled her back down then started tickling.

"Give up?"

"Alright! Alright I give!"

"I can't hear you".

"I GIVE!"

"That's better" he let her go and lay back down, when she had recovered her breath she slapped his chest.

"You can be a real asshole sometimes".

"Your point?"

She laughed and shook her head. "How come you never acted like this before we started going out?"

"Dunno, guess I haven't been as happy as I am now, come to think of it, I can't remember how we started, wasn't it something like I put you in a hold and wouldn't let go until you said you'd go out with me?"

"No, that was Ryan, you made him let go then said I owed you one".

"Yeah, that sounds like me".

"Do you remember how you always tried to make me angry during training?"

"Oh yeah, I'd botch moves, oversell, stuff like that right?"

"Remember what the most annoying thing was?"

"I think so, yeah, I'd put on a hold then kiss you while you couldn't do anything, that was fun, especially when you got pissed after".

"Why I didn't kick your ass for that I don't know".

"You can't stay mad at me, I'm too cute, and the one time you did, didn't last long did it?"

"You're just lucky you're a good kisser".

"Yup, my talents are limitless".

"Why did I start dating you again?"

"Let's see, I'm hot, cute, great personality, great kisser, caring, considerate, fearless…"

"Ha!"

"What do ya mean ha?"

"You fearless? Your Mom told me that you used to be scared of me!"

Jason frowned. "Mara, don't make me start tickling you again".

"You'll have to catch me first".

The two teens jumped out of bed, Jason tried to tackle her but slipped and crashed to the ground pulling her down with him, they started laughing but someone hammered on the door.

"Hey! Keep it down!"

"Sorry".

That night, at the arena, Jason, Mara and Shawn were just hanging around the locker room waiting for the show to start, Jason was still in a buoyant mood which pleased Shawn, the kid deserved a little happiness after the past few months, he turned to the mirror and checked himself out, Jason had suggested the two started wearing DX shirts at shows from now on, they had never called themselves it but people had embraced them as though they were the newest version, if the fans called them it then they might as well Jason had said. It felt weird wearing a DX shirt again, the last time he'd worn one he'd ended up being hit with a pedigree by his former best friend, then again if that hadn't of happened then he'd never have made a comeback, funny how things turned out. He glanced at Jason and Mara, the two were also wearing their shirts, Jason had something planned for the night as well, he hadn't told Shawn, or Mara, but he had said it would be fun, given the kid's current mood that could mean anything, he was just about to ask what he had in mind for the thousandth time but Jason's phone rang.

"Yello? It's ready? Right… just wait until I give the signal… trust me you'll know when it happens… uh huh… don't worry about it I'll take the heat for it… see ya!"

"What was all that about?"

"Nothing".

"Nothing?"

"Don't worry Shawn, if someone goes out there and starts to cut a boring promo, then you'll find out".

As if on cue Christian's music hit in the arena and he led Tomko towards the ring, Jason smirked.

"I was kinda hoping it would be him, c'mon".

"We gonna go out there?"

"No, grab a camera crew and we'll get this party started".

In the ring Christian had grabbed a mic.

"You know, since Teddy Long announced it, all I've been thinking about is the title shot for Saturday Night's Main Event, and the more I've thought about it the more one thing has become crystal clear, who better to give the title shot to than Captain Charisma himself? Allow me to explain, Teddy Long wants someone to impress him, well I think I fit that role, me and Tomko have dominated the tag division since we won these belts, I was the Smackdown MVP for Wrestlemania, I have beaten almost everyone on this roster, our current champion included, so it's only fair that I get the shot isn't that right?"

No-one agreed, Christian grinned.

"Who cares what you guys think? You're from Long Island! Anyway, I deserve the shot at Mysterio, I deserve the WWE title, and once I get the shot I'm gonna take it Because That's…"

"We interrupt this promo for a brief message from our sponsors".

Christian looked around for the cause of the interruption, he didn't have to look far, on the big screen stood Jason, Shawn and Mara.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jason Cena, this is Shawn Michaels and she's Mara Daniels and this is Smackdown live from Long Island New York!"

"Ya had to go for the cheap pop didn't ya?"

"Well, Mick Foley ain't here so why not?"

"True".

"Anyway, tonight is a very special Smackdown because it's the first one of the post John Cena era, yup, until his knee gets better no-one has to put up with his self serving promo's and constant whining. But, it seems someone else has taken that role, ladies and gentlemen, the Creepy Little Bastard himself Christian!"

Christian found his voice. "I know what you two are trying to do, you're trying to steal my title shot!"

"Relax CLB, we ain't stealing your thunder, not that you had any to steal, no we're just here to lay a things out, you see now that John's gone we figured we'd have a little fun, play a few pranks, crack a few jokes, question a few peoples sexuality, by the way, who wears the pants out of you and baldy there?"

"You better watch it punk, because I am this close to beating your ass!"

"You're gonna what my ass? Seriously though buddy…"

"I am not your buddy!"

Jason acted hurt. "Christian? I thought we were friends? I mean, we go way back, you were the first person to ever pin me, with help, you were the one who took my tag title from me, I thought we were tight, that's why I'm gonna give you some advice, don't look up".

Christian exchanged a confused glance with Tomko before they both looked up, seconds later the two were engulfed in green paint and slime from the ceiling! As the two tried and failed to stagger to their feet Jason, Shawn and Mara laughed it up at them, Shawn slapped a hand on his back.

"Paint from the ceiling? Classic!"

"I learned from the best, you wanna wrap it up?"

"Sure, ladies and gentlemen this public service announcement was brought to you by your friends Jason, Shawn and Mara, who would like to remind that if you're not down with that, then we got two words for ya!"

Teddy Long laughed as he watched the replay of what had just gone down in the ring, like everyone else he was glad to see Jason back in a good mood after the past few months, well, not everyone, Christian and Tomko may be a little upset and the ring crew weren't gonna be too happy about cleaning the mess up but the majority of the locker room were gonna be pleased. He looked around his office, no Palmer Cannon this week, Jason had sent him home with that F-U and put him on the shelf, he hoped it would be a long recovery period for him, no John Cena either although that was worrying him, no-one had heard from John since last week and he was refusing to let any WWE doctors treat him, that meant he couldn't be sure how long he was out, he could come back as early as next week or Saturday Night's Main Event, he decided not to reveal that to Jason, the last thing he needed was the teen getting paranoid again, his office door burst open to reveal a pissed off duo of Christian and Tomko.

"Can I help you playas?"

"Did you see what happened out there? Did you see what those two did to us? Do you know how much this shirt cost me?"

"Yes I did, Yes I did and ten ninety nine from the local charity store, anything else?"

"Yeah" Christian and Tomko held up their belts. "Look at this! They've ruined the tag titles! This is WWE property and they should be punished for it! And if you don't do anything then we will!"

"That's a great idea playa".

"What is?"

"You two doing something about it, so tonight the two of you will defend your WWE tag team titles against Jason Cena and Shawn Michaels!"

Christian looked stunned for a quick moment but shook it off. "Actually Teddy, we can't… really do that".

"Why not?"

"You see I… that is Tomko… has an… allergy to paint, and it wouldn't be good for his health to make him compete tonight".

"Is this true Tomko?"

"Uhhh, yeah, I better go get my medication before I have a reaction".

The two went to leave but Teddy stopped Christian.

"Hold up playa, just because he can't compete tonight doesn't mean you can't".

"What?"

"C'mon, you want the title shot right?"

"Of course".

"Well you have to impress me first, so tonight you will go one-on-one with Jason Cena!"

"What? C'mon Long! You can't spring that on me!"

"Christian, just think playa, you wanna impress me, all you gotta do is beat Jason, and he's never beaten you has he?"

"No".

"There ya go, you gonna do the match?"

"Yeah, just let me get cleaned up".

Christian left the office and headed for his locker room, he found waiting outside.

"Hey big guy, I gotta face Jason tonight and… why are you just standing out here?"

Tomko didn't answer, he just pointed inside the locker room, Christian stared in and froze, all his stuff was strewn throughout the room covered in green paint! The walls, the door, even the shower was covered in graffiti.

"I don't believe it! That little punk is gonna pay for this!"

In his locker room Jason was warming up for the match, Shawn came up and slapped him on the back.

"Ready kid?"

"Yup, ready as I can be".

"I'm coming out there as well to keep an eye on Tomko".

"Cool" Mara came over as well.

"You are focused on the match right?"

"Of course, why shouldn't I be? Anyway, I figured I might steal one of your brothers moves tonight, think he'll mind?"

"He'll go nuts".

"Great, it's settled then, let's go!"

The DX music hit as Jason, Shawn and Mara made their way to the ring, they got in and set off the pyro before grabbing mics.

"You know Shawn, I can't help but think Christian was just a little bit upset with what we did earlier".

"Nah kid, he always acts like that, even when he's happy".

"Weird way to act happy, if it was me who had about a tonne of paint dropped on me then I'd be a little embarrassed, I mean it's not as embarrassing as having five male cheerleaders on your show, it's not as embarrassing as the XFL and it's not as embarrassing as posing in playgirl…"

"Hey! I was young! And I was told girls read that magazine!"

"Just keep telling yourself that Shawn".

"Oh yeah? Well it's not as embarrassing as being beat up by your girlfriend every time you went to training!"

"And it's not as embarrassing as wetting your bed although I've heard Christian does do that…"

The two were interrupted by Christian's music and the CLB led Tomko to the ring, Shawn and Mara hopped out and the two locked up, Jason quickly took him down into an armbar, Christian grabbed the ropes and Jason broke the hold, the two locked up again and Christian put on a headlock, Jason pushed him off but Christian hit a shoulder block, the CLB hit the ropes and Jason went under him, then leapfrogged him and hit an armdrag, then another, then a dropkick that sent Christian scurrying out of the ring.

Christian came back in and the two went to lock up but Christian kicked Jason in the gut and began punching away at the teen, he backed Jason into a corner and went for a whip but Jason reversed it then met Christian with a backdrop as he staggered out of the corner, he hit a few chops before whipping Christian into a corner, he charged but ran into an elbow, Christian tried to charge him but the teen backdropped him to the outside. Tomko tried to help Christian up while Jason posed for the crowd, the teen waited for the two to stand then vaulted over the ropes onto both of them! He quickly picked Christian up and rolled him back into the ring before climbing to the top-rope, he waited for Christian to stand before coming down with a cross-body for a two-count, he picked Christian up and hit a suplex for another two then hit an atomic drop followed by a slam then a legdrop.

Christian got up and retreated to the ropes, Jason charged but Christian dodged and pulled the ropes down causing then teen to cash to the outside, the CLB kept the referee distracted while Tomko ran through Jason with a clothesline then threw him into the ringpost and rolled him back in.

Christian was quick to take advantage, he picked Jason up and hit a suplex before hitting a gutbuster for a two-count, he lifted the teen up for a suplex again but instead dropped then teen on his face for another two, he got back up and whipped the teen but it was reversed, Jason lowered his head but Christian shifted his weight and hit a DDT that dropped Jason on the top of his head! He rolled into a cover but Jason kicked out at two. Christian quickly locked on a sleeper and tried to put the teen out but Jason started to fight out of it, Tomko jumped up on the apron allowing Christian to hit a low blow and put the hold on tighter, while the referee was checking on Jason Christian put his feet on the ropes to increase the pressure, Jason faded pretty quickly and the referee checked his arm, it fell once, twice but he stopped the third and began fighting out with elbows, he broke the hold and tried a whip, Christian reversed it but the teen ducked an elbow and hit a flying forearm, they both lay there for a while before Christian climbed to his feet, he started forward but Jason nipped up!

The teen had found his usual second wind and began throwing right hands at Christian before whipping him and hitting a powerslam for a two-count, Jason jumped to his feet while Christian rolled to his knees and hit a shining wizard for another two-count, Christian retreated to a corner and Jason charged but was met with a boot, he reeled away and Christian charged but Jason ducked and hit a neckbreaker before climbing to the top-rope, he went for a frog splash but Christian moved, Jason pooped a roll, avoided Christian's charged and hit a reverse DDT for another near fall. The CLB went back to the corner and Jason went for a stinger splash but Christian avoided it, Jason staggered backwards out of the corner into a big reverse DDT for a close two-count, Christian quickly went for the Unprettier but Jason countered into a dragon suplex! The referee counted but only got two.

The two got back up again and Jason went for an impaler but Christian grabbed the ropes to block it, Jason dropped to the mat and Christian tried to clothesline him but Jason ducked and hit a superkick! He covered but Christian kicked out again, Jason quickly slammed him and went to the top once again, Tomko climbed up to stop him but Jason knocked him back down, this allowed Christian to get up and the two battled up on the top-rope before Christian brought him down with a reverse DDT from the top! He slowly rolled into a cover but Jason got his foot on the bottom rope! Christian argued with the referee before climbing to the top-rope again, Jason tried to stop him with a superplex but Tomko held Christian up there allowing the CLB to sent him back down, he stood up and went for a frog splash but Jason got his knees up, Christian staggered around holding his ribs allowing Jason to hit an impaler, the teen covered but again only got a two-count.

The teen was trying to put Christian away now and tried a whip, Christian reversed it and lowered his head only for Jason to drop down and punch him in the face, Christian reeled away then spun back round and walked into a reverse STO followed by the Koji clutch! Mara laughed on the outside as Christian tried to free himself, somewhere Christopher was throwing something at the TV, Jason locked the hold on and held it as Christian looked like he was going to tap but Tomko reached in and put his foot on the bottom-rope, the referee ordered Jason to break and the teen stared down Tomko as Christian pulled himself up in the corner, Jason started forward but Christian took his legs out from under him and covered with his feet on the ropes! The referee got to two but Mara pushed his feet off allowing Jason to kick out.

Christian immediately jumped to his feet and began screaming at Mara, his distraction allowed Jason to charge forward and hit a stinger splash across his back! He staggered out of the corner and Jason hit an X-Factor, he called for the Five-Knuckle-Shuffle, hit the ropes, paused, DX sign then landed it and called for the F-U, he lifted Christian but he slipped out, he went for the Unprettier but Jason pushed him away, he stopped short of hitting the ref but Jason charged, he dodged and Jason crashed into the official, he didn't hit him hard and he quickly started getting up, Tomko had jumped in the ring behind Jason, he waited for the teen to turn round and went for the boot but Jason ducked! Tomko's momentum caused him to crotch himself on the top-rope! The referee got up and went to help the big man while Christian jumped Jason and went for the Unprettier, Shawn took advantage of the distraction and rolled in the ring, Jason escaped the hold again and pushed Christian right into Sweet Chin Music! The force of the kick caused Christian to spin round right into an F-U! Jason covered as Shawn ducked out of the ring, the referee counted… and got the three!

Jason jumped to his feet in celebration, Shawn and Mara came in and hugged him as the referee raised his arms, Jason smirked, then his thoughts turned to his brother, he looked into a camera at ringside, grinned, then yelled. "How does it feel?" Before heading backstage.
