Sorry, I've been feeling lazy lately. But here's the update! Tell me what you think!
By the time Dani awoke from her drunken slumber, it was nearly 12 o' clock. She shuddered and growled as light was suddenly streaming through her window. She turned over quickly and buried her face in her pillow.
"Rise and shine!" Nick called crossing his arms over his chest. He earned another menacing grow-like noise from his sister. "Dani! It's 12 o' clock!" He shouted shaking Dani's restful body.
Dani groaned before sitting up with a long stretch. "What do you want?" She asked brushing a few locks of her messy dark hair away from her face. Nick could've sworn that her bright green eyes were piercing his soul.
"Well, I was going to go out to eat with Ryan and Devon." He replied leaning against the wall of Dani's bedroom.
"Ry and Dev are here?" Dani asked immediately perking up.
Nick just nodded slowly in response.
Dani threw the cover off of her legs and sped right out of bed. "Well I'm getting ready. Get out so I can get dressed!" She pushed Nick out of the door and quickly threw on her signature; jeans, converse and a band t-shirt.
She bounded down the steps and slipped on her new WWE 13 jacket. She turned toward the living room and heard two familiar laughs. She sprinted through the house and skidded to a halt when she entered the living room. Her eyes lit up and she almost knocked over the two men standing across the room when she ran and gave them both a hug.
"I think someone missed us." Ryan said with a snicker.
"We sure as hell didn't get that response from you Nick." Devon said crossing his arms over his chest and giving a smirk to Nick.
Ryan and Devon are Dani's two other older brothers. She's the youngest in the family at 24 years old, closely followed by Devon, who's 25, then Ryan who's 27 and Nick who's 32. When Dani was 11, Nick went off to college, leaving her with Ry and Dev. She became quite close to them and then walked in Nick's footsteps by pursuing a wrestling career.
In two days' time, Nick and Dani had flown out to Kittyhawk, North Carolina for the next taping of RAW. Dani was set up for a divas match against Aksana and gained encouragement from her brother and the rest of team Ziggler.
A few nights ago, before Nick and Dani left Cleveland, they called the number on Dani's arm. It had been Ross the bar tender's number. He told Nick that he'd put his number on her arm so that if she woke up drunk in a gutter, or if someone found her, they could return her to Ross and then to Nick.
Dani rolled back her shoulders before walking toward the gorilla position. She'd changed her usual wife beater to a black and navy-lined corset and used a pair of tight black wrestling shorts. She bent down to tie up one of her red high top converse and huffed quietly.
As she stood back up straightly she felt her head bang into solid muscle. She brushed her dark brown hair away from her face to see a familiar face.
The man was a member of team Ziggler and though she recognized him, she didn't quite know his name.
She let her gaze roll over his chiseled bare abs as well as the two tattoos on his arms and the scruff on his face. There was a British flag on his wrestling tights and he looked down at Dani with curious dark brown eyes.
"You alright?" The man asked in a thick English accent.
"Yeah-yeah, I'm fine." Dani replied with a bright smile. "Aren't you on Team Ziggler?"
"Aren't you Ziggler's sister?" The man replied with the tilt of his head.
"Yes…?" Dani asked leaning forward slightly.
"There's your answer cutie." He said with a slight chuckle.
"Er, thanks!" Dani replied self-consciously lowering her head. "What's your name?" She asked a little skittishly.
"Wade Barrett." The man replied with a smile.
"I'm Dani." She said extending her hand.
"Nice to meet you."
"Nice accent, by the way." She chirped narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Thanks."
"Well, I better get going, I've got a match with Aksana."
"Good luck Dan." Wade said with a kind smile.
"Dan? Fine then Barrett." She said listening closely for her theme music.
She heard the strum of a guitar and sauntered out onto stage. She'd requested that they use the song 'Paralyzer' by Finger Eleven, as that had been her favorite song in her Indy days.
As she slid into the ring, her brother's music hit and he walked out on stage with Cody Rhodes and Alberto Del Rio in tow. They walked slowly down to the ring and walked up the steps.
Dani snatched a mic from the announcer and cocked her head at Dolph.
"What are you doing out here?" Dani asked looking behind her brother to see Cody with a warm smile and Del Rio crossing his arms over his chest.
"We just came out here to observe, that's all." Dolph replied jumping out of the ring and giving Dani a thumbs up.
Dani, however, rolled her eyes with a quiet scoff.
Aksana approached the ring and slid in before giving Dani a dirty look. She waved to the three men outside of the ring, earning a stare from Del Rio, a seductive wave from Dolph and no response from Cody. He just continued to stare down at his feet as the bell rang.
Instantly Aksana delivered a barrage of kicks to Dani's torso.
Dani stumbled back against the turnbuckle and quickly landed a jab to Aksana's face. She recoiled slightly and raised an inquisitive eyebrow. She moved in for another punch, but Dani lunged at her, pushing her to the ground.
The ref had to pry Dani off of Aksana as she landed some good punches to her chest.
Dani quickly went in for the pin and landed it. She stood in victory as the ref raised her arm triumphantly.
Out of the corner of Dani's eye, she saw her brother and his lackeys slide back into the ring. Dolph had a mic.
"Dan, you've proved yourself in the ring and I'd like to ask you to become a member of Team Ziggler." Dolph spoke smoothly.
"Yes!" Dani said smiling and hugging her brother.
What did you think? I've got some big plans for this, plus, I'll be continuing the Team Foley and Team Ziggler plot-line longer than the WWE did.(For plot reasons.) I don't really like how I ended this chapter, but I was in a bit of a rush to post this chapter!
