Chapter Sixteen – Cheyenne Sings the Blues
The Nashes, Orlando, Florida, 2pm:
With the wedding only one day away and Jeff Jarrett still on the loose DX and SCAB decided it would be best if everyone came back to a central meeting place to discuss what to do about the blond-haired menace. Kevin Nash's house was that place and it was divided between WWE and TNA arguing over inter-promotional relationships.
"I would say after what Jeff Jarrett's done to Krystal's bridesmaids over the past ten days you're lucky we're still here," Hunter said to Kurt Angle and Sting came to his defense.
"Don't get at Kurt Hunter we were in the van with you we know what the bridesmaids have been through and we're just as pissed off with Jeff Jarrett as you are," Sting said.
"Yeah, are you surprised at what Double J's done?" Kurt Angle asked his former locker room buddy.
"No I'm just pissed that he's nowhere to be found," Hunter said pacing back and forth like a wounded animal.
"Well we haven't really looked for him," Shawn said and Hunter rubbed his chin.
"That's true," he said and Shawn took his arm and dragged him to one side, "don't be mad but I let Jeff Hardy take Aurora to the church with Cameron, Cheyenne and LC," Shawn said quietly but that didn't stop Hunter from yelling.
"What?!" he said getting everyone's attention as difficult as that was with all the smooching going on he managed with ease, "You let Jeff take my baby girl?"
"I think Jeff's proven now that he's trustworthy and the ARK Angels said Aurora needed to be at the church with them," Shawn said.
"Well shouldn't we be there too?" Hunter asked Shawn and HBK shook his head.
"No we need to talk about Shelton's wedding present," HBK said, "although I do miss Cheyenne playing that harp," Shawn sighed knowing that harp was a difference maker and quickly changed the tune of the disgruntled TNA wrestlers.
"But we already discussed this Shawn," Hunter said.
"So it's agreed, no backing out of it?" Shawn asked Hunter and the Cerebral Assassin grabbed his hair in confusion.
"You're the one who didn't wanna do it not me," Hunter objected.
"Well after seeing the way he's fitting in down here I don't think we have much of a choice," Shawn said and Hunter sighed.
"Thank you for stating the obvious can we go to the church now? I miss my baby girl!" Hunter complained and Joanie brushed her hand across Hunter's neck.
"Sorry I was gone so long the Knockouts were telling me some funny stuff about Jim Cornette and I couldn't stop laughing," Joanie said.
"Well you haven't missed much over here just Hunter bitching about how much he hates TNA," Kurt Angle said and Shawn rolled his eyes.
"I didn't say "hate" but be realistic Kurt, you guys are the competition and it would be hypocritical of me if I said I didn't have some reservations about letting WWE talent come down here," Hunter said, "They're my boys and I care about their welfare,"
"Shawn doesn't seem to mind and he's got just as much vested in the WWE as you do," Sting said.
"Shawn's a Christian, he operates on a whole other level," Hunter said waving his hands in the air.
"Well I think you need to come down to his level and look around, just look around Hunter," Sting said gesturing to the entire living room; it was filled with paired up wrestlers from TNA and WWE and they were oblivious to the death stares coming at them from the disgruntled TNA haters that had tried to stop them, "These guys are so into each other and there's nothing anyone of us can do to stop it and quite frankly I don't want to stop it. So get with the programme and love on TNA a bit okay?"
Hunter frowned then he saw the look on Tammy, Shawn and Joanie's faces and realized that he was acting just like the disgruntled TNA haters. Apart from Torrie Wilson the WWE really hadn't lost out to TNA on a significant level, so what was he worried about?
"Okay Stinger, you're right I'm over-reacting. When Shelton and Krystal get back I say we celebrate the bride and groom, whad'ya say everybody?" Hunter said and the couples cheered Hunter for the first time in 10 days, "Let's hear it for love!"
"LOVE!" the couples cheered and Tammy, Kevin and Joanie cheered while Amy and Shawn kissed.
"How long do you think Hunter's new loving mood will last?" Amy asked Shawn.
"Until he sees Jeff Hardy playing with Aurora," Shawn answered and Amy laughed and they went back to kissing amongst the TNA/WWE couples who wanted to let the last ten days and Jeff Jarrett drift further and further away into the past in anticipation of Shelton and Krystal's wedding.
First Baptist Church, Orlando, FL:
Krystal Marshall was dancing around the church while Shelton spoke with Jeff Hardy and the ARK Angels busied themselves on the altar.
"I'm getting married tomorrow, I'm getting married tomorrow!" Krystal sang jumping up and down jubilantly and the smile on Shelton's face matched hers.
"You wanna join her Shelley Bean?" Jeff Hardy asked Shelton who recoiled at the mention of his pet name.
"Urgh, don't call me that!" Shelton snapped then he looked at Aurora sitting snuggly in the baby carrier Jeff Hardy had made for her, "Shouldn't she be with her father right now?"
"With the mood he's in? No way, Hunter ain't gonna do nuthin but bring Aurora down and I wanna make sure that don't happen," Jeff Hardy said, "this atmosphere is really good for her,"
"Yeah it's good for children to be in the House of the Lord," Shelton said looking around at the church he went to with Krystal, Trish and Carlito and SCAB everytime he came to Orlando.
"Yes it is but that's not want I meant," Jeff Hardy said as Krystal danced around him, Shelton and Aurora who was getting just as excited by Krystal's joyous celebrating, "I meant its good for Aurora to be around you and Krystal, everyone Ro-Ro knows is the same color and I want her to have a more kaleidoscopic view of the world, after all I am the Rainbow Haired Warrior and I very much believe in a colorblind yet colorful world," Jeff Hardy explained.
Shelton furrowed his brow but he appreciated where Jeff Hardy was coming from, "It would be a shame if Aurora grew up thinking everyone looked like Hunter, but she's an ARK Angel Jeff she can't discriminate, at least not in terms of race,"
"Oh yeah that's right, the world could learn a lot from you Ro-Ro," Jeff Hardy said and Aurora pulled on his nose playfully and Shelton smiled, there was something so pure about the way Jeff and Aurora bonded it was easy to see why Hunter was so concerned that Aurora might prefer him to Jeff.
"Ever thought about getting one of these for yourself Jeff?" Shelton asked.
"After I get married," Jeff replied bouncing Aurora up and down.
"So you're gonna have a baby with Ashley?" Shelton asked and Jeff nodded, "That's cool man I have no doubt that you'd be a great father,"
"Thanks man," Jeff said genuinely touched by Shelton's kind words, it really made a change since the two men were usually so competitive with each other. Shelton raised his eyebrow as Jeff Hardy un-strapped Aurora from her baby carrier.
"What are you doing?" Shelton asked puzzled and Jeff handed Aurora to him with a smile.
"Hold her, I don't think she'll throw up on you this time," Jeff said and Shelton took Aurora from him hesitantly expecting her to cry but she didn't, instead she smiled at him, "See?" Jeff said and Shelton couldn't believe it.
"She likes me!" he said elated and Jeff nodded knowing that when Hunter saw that Aurora had taken a liking to his little Hurricane it would put a smile on his face for sure.
"Cheyenne don't stop playing baby!" Krystal said still dancing around the church while Cheyenne played the ten string harp, she wasn't expecting the Heavenly music to come to a stop but it did abruptly as Jeff Jarrett burst through the church door and he was not alone, he had his infamous weapon of choice with him.
"You little brats!" he yelled at the ARK Angels and Jeff Hardy dived towards him only to go head first into his steel blue guitar which Jeff Jarrett smashed over the Rainbow Warrior's head with a resounding whack.
"Jeff!" Shelton cried out attending to his fallen WWE comrade while Jeff Jarrett headed for the altar. Cameron took LC and Cheyenne's hands and held them tight.
"You little punks ruined my plan to spoil this wedding! Well you're gonna learn you should never count out Double J!" Jeff Jarrett said and snatched the ten string harp from Cheyenne and smashed it on the steps of the altar.
"No!" Cheyenne cried and rushed Jeff Jarrett pushing him off the steps and going for his neck with her Phenomenally strong hands.
"Chey let him go!" Cameron cried pulling his sister off Double J and she relented with tears burning down her cheeks and Jeff Jarrett got to his feet baffled by being taken down by a 3 year-old girl.
"What the Hell's your father been feeding you girl?" he said and kicked a piece of the ten string harp with disdain, "Let's see how well the TNA Knockouts get on with their WWE dates without your precious instrument, ha-ha!" he laughed evilly and ran out of the church and LC held back from running after him knowing that Cameron didn't want her to do that.
"Don't worry he'll get his," Cameron said running down to Jeff Hardy's side where Krystal and Shelton were kneeling in prayer, and Cameron pulled out a vile of anointing oil Amy had given him in case of such emergency. As Shelton, Krystal and the ARK Angels prayed Cameron rubbed the oil over Jeff Hardy's head, "Matthew 18:19 says whatsoever two or more agree on Earth it shall be done by my Father in Heaven" and we pray that Jeff awake now in Jesus' Name,"
"Amen!" everyone said and Jeff Hardy's green eyes popped open and he sat up as if he were never unconscious.
"Let's get him!" he said jumping to his feet and heading for the church exit before Cameron could grab him, but the Amazing one didn't have to grab him as Jeff was stopped in his tracks by DX and SCAB.
"Guys what's going on, TNA and WWE are attacking each other!" Shawn asked his children.
"Its bedlam back there, Big Kev's trying to stop them from destroying his house!" Amy said.
"Jeff Jarrett was here and he destroyed the ten string harp," Cameron explained showing his parents the destroyed instrument behind him and DX and SCAB walked over to it and saw that it was completely destroyed. Shawn picked up his daughter and comforted her, her warm tears falling onto his cheek.
"I'm sorry Chey, I know how much you loved that harp," he said gently and kissed her cheek.
"It's not your fault daddy," Chey said bravely hugging her father back, she may have loved the harp but she loved him more.
"You mean it was this that was keeping the guys from killing each other?" Sting said picking up a broken piece of the harp feeling like a piece of his heart was broken when he remembered the beautiful music that had come out of it for the past 10 days.
"That music was from the Heavens, the sound of it is what kept the peace between WWE and TNA," Cameron said and Kurt Angle sighed.
"Looks like Double J got his wish, I knew it would be trouble if he saw you guys here," he said to DX.
"I've been saying it all along," Hunter said but his diatribe was cut short when he saw Aurora playing with Shelton instead of Jeff, a sight so beautiful he couldn't believe his eyes and Jeff noticed and tried not to laugh, now just wasn't the time.
"So what now, I guess this means the wedding can't go ahead tomorrow," Krystal said with tears in her eyes and Amy and Shawn comforted her and Shelton who were so sure nothing could ruin their big day now that the ten bridesmaids were safe from harm. They didn't realize just how badly Jeff Jarrett wanted to get back at DX and the WWE roster for what went down earlier on in the year.
"There is one hope," Cameron said and LC and Cheyenne looked at him, this hope was badly needed judging from the look in Cheyenne's eyes, she really loved that harp, "We need to get into the Impact Zone,"
"That can be arranged," Sting said, "What do you need?"
"Another instrument," Cameron replied and he had a particular one in mind.
"Let's go now we shouldn't have any problem getting in, the Impact tapings don't start until 7 o'clock," Christy Hemme said but Cameron knew better as there was no way they were getting into the Impact Zone without a fight. Suddenly Matt Hardy ran in a little while after the others and kissed Christy Hemme passionately.
"I won't let you go," he said holding her tightly and Christy held him just as tightly; Matt was gonna have to fight to keep her and she knew it.
"Fight for me Matt," Christy said with tears in her eyes, "Fight for me and all the other bridesmaids,"
"I will, I promise," Matt said and as the two hugged each other lovingly before rushing out to the Impact Zone with everyone, a smile spread across Cheyenne's face and she knew as long as there was love there was hope.
"Halleluiah to the Lamb of God," she said to herself ready to pour out her spirit into another instrument and wondered which one her big brother had in mind.
