Chapter Three – Dress Rehearsal
First Baptist Church, Orlando, FL at 4pm:
The dress rehearsal went very well, the bride and groom practiced it a couple of times until everyone's timing was perfect and Shelton was ecstatic with how well everyone was behaving.
"Maybe I will move down here, DX won't have any problem trusting the TNA guys after they see how well they've been getting on with the WWE locker room," Shelton thought sitting on one of the pews with all the men watching the bridesmaids practice their part one more time. There were ten bridesmaids altogether, mostly because Krystal wanted her new friends from TNA and her old friends from WWE there so she picked five from each company. The WWE Superstars watched favorably as the TNA Knockouts walked up and down the isle parading their looks and flirting with their rivals loving having them in town and the WWE Superstars couldn't get enough. Meanwhile the TNA wrestlers had seen enough and were not going to watch it continue for much longer.
"Hey quit looking at our girls!" Robert Roode snapped shoving Edge off the pew and the Rated R Superstar fell onto the ground.
"What do you think you're doing?" Edge growled angrily as Angelina Love stopped rehearsing to help him up.
"What's your problem Bob?" Angie said mocking the former Team Canada member, "You're a disgrace to our country,"
"Well at least I'm not flirting with the enemy," Robert Roode said and pushed Edge again and Edge pushed him back onto James Storm who had a beer open in the church.
"James why are you drinking in here, couldn't you wait until the rehearsal was over?" Sting said.
"There's more beer on me than in my bottle, you're gonna pay for that Adam!" James snapped and went to smash his beer bottle into Edge's face when Jacqueline stopped him, "Woman what are you doing, you should be out buying me another one?" James said.
"Stop acting the fool James!" Jacqueline said and James frowned.
"What has gotten into you, do you know how ridiculous you look sucking up to those WWE losers?" James Storm asked her.
"They're not losers at least they can wait until happy hour before getting drunk," Christie Hemme retorted and Jimmy Rave and Lance Hoyt looked at their partner in disbelief.
"You of all people shouldn't be so hung up on those punks from up North," Lance Hoyt said to Christie surprised by her change of heart towards her former roster.
"That doesn't matter to me, Matt Hardy's cool!" Christie Hemme replied and Matt Hardy blushed hard.
"I haven't been this happy since I won the US Championship," Matt Hardy said smiling brightly.
"Can I hold it?" Christie Hemme asked enthusiastically.
"Sure," Matt Hardy said holding out the belt for her but the Rock and Rave Infection pulled her back.
"Guys relax it doesn't have germs on it, I washed it thoroughly after I beat him for it," Matt Hardy said gesturing to MVP who made a face at Matt from behind and Gail Kim laughed.
"That's not funny Gail, the only thing funny about MVP is that ridiculous outfit!" James Storm said and MVP got offended.
"Hey man what's your problem?" MVP said getting into James Storm face and Krystal and Shelton started to panic.
"Guys what's wrong why are you being so hostile to each other all of a sudden?" Shelton asked, "You were getting on so well,"
"Come on guys this is my wedding rehearsal please don't ruin it," Krystal said and the TNA guys calmed down.
"We're sorry we'll behave," Robert Roode said pulling James Storm back and Matt Hardy pulled MVP back.
"Anything for you Krys," MVP said blowing Krystal a kiss which Gail Kim caught and blew it back and MVP touched his heart in appreciation.
"Oh that's it," James Storm said and smashed his beer bottle in MVP's face.
"You sonofabitch!" Edge said reaching for James but the WWE Superstars pulled him back.
"Oh my God!" Krystal cried.
"My eyes I can't see!" MVP said.
"We better get you to a hospital!" Gail Kim said taking MVP to the church door but James Storm pulled her back.
"Let his boyfriend take him to the hospital, you stay here with us," James Storm demanded as Gail wrestled out of his beer-stained hands.
"You sonofabitch!" MVP said reaching for James Storm but he could barely see him.
"I got it MVP!" Gail Kim said and whacked James Storm over the head with Matt Hardy's US Title and the TNA Knockouts and WWE Divas cheered her on as she escorted MVP to the hospital while James held his bruised face.
"Jackie get me a beer for my face!" James said to Miss Tennessee who looked at her partner disgusted.
"After the way you've been behaving you must be crazy," Jackie replied and the WWE Superstars laughed at James Storm much to the TNA locker room's anger.
What the Hell did you do to MVP?" came the angry voice of Triple H who was standing at the church door next to Joanie with LC in one hand and Aurora in the other. Shawn was there too with Amy, Cheyenne and Cameron while Kevin Nash stood next to him with Tamara, Tristen, Brandon, Cassidy Montenegro and Miss Taylor behind them.
"James look what I got?" Kevin Nash said holding up a 6 pack of beer and James drooled and staggered towards it, as he stepped outside the church he stepped into HBK's boot and got a fresh dose of Sweet Chin Music.
"That was for MVP," Shawn said and stepped over James Storm's fallen body to greet his Superstars while Hunter stared a black hole into the enemy. Shelton's shook his head as Shawn and Hunter came over to him.
"I see things are going great," Triple H said sarcastically hugging Shelton and Krystal along with HBK.
"I don't think you should have the wedding down here it's not safe," Shawn said softly to them both but especially to Shelton.
"Everything was going so well, both rosters were getting on fine and then everything just fell apart," Shelton said comforting Krystal who was very upset at the actions of the TNA and WWE wrestlers.
"I'm sorry Krystal, we're really disappointed in you guys," Sting said to his locker room angrily.
"We apologize for James, he's two beers short of a 6 pack but your boys had no right coming onto our girls," Robert Roode said and Hunter turned to the WWE locker room in shock.
"You came onto the TNA Knockouts?" he asked in disbelief.
"They came onto us first they just couldn't resist!" Edge said in his locker room's defense and Hunter smiled loving what he just heard.
"Poor babes must be starving for some real wrestlers," he said and Shawn slapped his head as the TNA wrestlers took offense to that statement and the WWE Superstars argued loudly with them in the church, "See I told you this was a bad idea," Hunter said to Shawn Michaels, then the Heartbreak Kid looked around and saw that the TNA Knockouts were indeed smitten with his roster as they had almost all paired up with one Superstar a piece.
"Don't worry Krystal we'll make sure your wedding day goes just fine, won't we boys?" Angelina Love and Velvet Sky said together making amorous eyes at Edge and CM Punk who nodded enthusiastically along with the other WWE Superstars the TNA Knockouts had taken a shining to and suddenly arguing with the TNA wrestlers was the last thing they wanted to do.
"Well that's encouraging," Shawn said liking what he was seeing, "do you think you could convince your boys to behave Stinger?" Shawn asked the Icon of TNA who shrugged.
"I don't know they're pretty mad, I'm just glad Jeff Jarrett's not around or he'd take advantage of their anger," Sting replied.
"Double J? Didn't he go crazy or something?" Hunter said.
"I heard that he did too, as long as he doesn't find out you guys are back in town everything should be fine. Now all we have to do is get these guys to get along and this wedding should go on without a hitch," Sting said and Hunter laughed.
"Fat chance of that happening," he said.
"Don't say that," Krystal said pleadingly.
"Okay I'll just think it," Hunter said and Shelton rolled his eyes wishing Hunter would be a little more positive about his big day.
"What are you guys looking at?" Amy asked going over to the altar where a ten string harp was center stage and had attracted the attention of the ARK Angels especially Cheyenne.
"Isn't it beautiful? Edge gave it to us as a wedding present, it's from his church back in Toronto," Krystal said and Cheyenne took a seat next to the harp in awe of it.
"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," Cheyenne said and Amy called Shawn over.
"Your daughter's quite taken with this instrument," she said as Cheyenne put her fingers on the strings and started to play it.
"I didn't know you could play Chey!" LC said amazed at the 3 year-old Incredible Girl with Phenomenal Strength.
"She can't this is a Divine Manifestation, God is up to something," Cameron said waiting to hear from God with more information and everyone turned as Cheyenne started to sing Psalm 33:
Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord;
it is fitting for the pure to praise him.
Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre;
make music for him on the ten-stringed harp.
Sing a new song of praise to him;
play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy.
For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does.
He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
The TNA wrestlers were suddenly filled with the Holy Spirit and they didn't hate the WWE Superstars anymore. Both rosters praised the Lord and swayed to Cheyenne's beautiful voice.
"More, more! Keep singing darling!" Shawn said as the dress rehearsal turned into a praise and worship service.
The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
He assigned the sea its boundaries
and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.
Let the whole world fear the Lord,
and let everyone stand in awe of him.
For when he spoke, the world began!
It appeared at his command.
The wrestlers danced around the church much to Shelton and Krystal's relief, there was something powerful about the music coming out of that ten string harp and Cheyenne's angelic voice magnified it.
"Looks like the wedding might not be a disaster after all," Shawn said to Shelton, "Keep singing Chey you sound great!" Shawn cried at his daughter who was working under the command of the Holy Spirit.
"The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
Don't count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you."
Shawn and Amy marveled over how blessed they were to have a child as talented as Cheyenne and LC and Aurora clapped along with Hunter and Joanie in fact the whole church had suddenly come alive thanks to the praise coming from Cheyenne's lips. Only Cameron listened cautiously sitting on the altar enjoying the music for now before he rallied the ARK Angels together and told them about their next mission.
But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.
We put our hope in the Lord.
He is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone.
Everyone cheered Cheyenne as she brought the song to and end and Cameron pulled her and LC to one side and ran with them outside the church where a sneaking Jeff Jarrett was running across the street.
"Was that who I think it was?" LC said looking down the road at the blond haired Southern boy who hadn't been on TNA television since kissing Vince McMahon's butt on worldwide television.
"Yes and he means trouble, if he gets his hands on that harp it will be trouble," Cameron said and LC rolled her eyes.
"Here we go," she said and Cameron told her about the plans Double J had to get back at WWE.
"What are you guys doing out here, did you see something?" Brandon asked with Cassidy and Miss. Taylor and Cameron and LC nodded.
"What did you see?" Cassidy asked.
"You don't wanna know and quite frankly I don't either," LC said and she walked back inside taking Chey with her, "Cheyenne hit me one more time baby!" she said wanting to enjoy praise and worship before going back to work with her fellow ARK Angels and saving the wrestling world again.
"LC, Chey come back this is important!" Cameron called but the praise and worship had already resumed and everyone was caught up in it, "I guess it can wait until we get to Minneapolis," he said and re-entered the church with Cassidy, Brandon and Miss Taylor while Jeff Jarrett hid behind the bushes hoping that the ARK Angels didn't see him.
