Chapter Twenty Three - Indoor Blues
The Sandbox, 12pm:
Chyna looked out the kitchen window at all the snow on the ground, "Looks like Aurora's been busy," she said warming herself with her hands. She had just done making lunch for herself and Amy when the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"It's me Kev," came the gruff reply of Big Sexy Kevin Nash and Chyna opened up the door.
"Hey Kev nice to see you," Chyna said then she noticed that he wasn't alone, nearly all the TNA locker room was with him including Jeff Jarrett, "nice to see all of you, I guess you came to see Velvet,"
"We had to see if it was true," Black Machismo said referring to the rumor that Velvet Sky had been put to sleep by CM Punk.
"Okay but you have to be quiet," Joanie said not wanting Amy disturbed and she led the concerned wrestlers up to where Velvet Sky was asleep in a guest bedroom on the West Wing of the Sandbox.
"Is she okay?" Jeff Jarrett asked as everyone surrounded Velvet who was as still as a statue in a museum only she was breathing.
"Well she's not in any pain but I'm sure she'd rather be awake than asleep," Chyna said.
"Is there anything we can do?" Gail Kim asked and Chyna shook her head.
"The only thing that can wake her up is Punk's kiss, he designed the curse so that Shawn wouldn't be able to wake her up," Chyna explained and the TNA wrestlers couldn't believe it.
"Angelina's gonna flip when she finds out," Roxxi said.
"I think she already knows, she went with Homicide and Joe to find Punk," Kevin Nash said.
"Well unless they can fly I think they're going to have a pretty hard time finding him," Joanie said and the wrestlers looked at her confused, "Didn't you guys see the news yesterday? There was a story about a guy in a white mask on a dragon who robbed all these banks in Charlotte - that was Punk,"
"Punk's got a dragon?" Alex Shelley asked.
"No the dragon's Batista," Joanie said and the TNA wrestlers gasped, "You didn't know about that either?"
"Angelina said something about Batista attacking her and Edge in Tampa," AJ Styles remembered.
"And she left out the part about the dragon?" Joanie asked in disbelief.
"No we just thought she was exaggerating," Petey Williams said.
"Yeah nobody really takes Angelina and Velvet seriously," Gail Kim said.
"Well Angelina Love wasn't exaggerating, Batista has been possessed by a demon that's turned him into his dragon tattoo and together he and Punk are on a path of destruction," Chyna said.
"Well you guys specialize in this kind of stuff what are ATM doing about it?" Jeff Jarrett asked.
"There's nothing they can do right now, we just have to protect as many people as possible," Chyna said.
"There must be something we can do," Taylor Wilde said.
"Yeah there is - stay away from Punk and Batista," Chyna replied and Jeff Jarrett sighed.
"I wish someone had said that to Homicide, Joe and Angelina," Jeff Jarrett said, "Come on everybody we better go find those three before they get hurt,"
The TNA wrestlers left the room but Chyna stopped them from going down the stairs, "Um guys, did you not hear what I just said? I told you to stay away from Punk and Batista not go and find them,"
"We're not going to find them we're going to find Homicide, Joe and Angelina," Consequences Creed said.
"Who are trying to find Punk and Batista," Chyna replied.
"Well we're not gonna just let them walk into the dragon's den so-to-speak," Christian Cage said.
"They knew what they were getting themselves into, if you guys go after them and Punk and Batista have already found them you're all going to be in as much danger as they are," Chyna said and the TNA wrestlers looked at Double J and Big Kev for direction.
"Chyna your objection has been noted but we're still gonna go and get our guys back," Jeff Jarrett said.
"Oh no your not," came the warm voice of Amy from her bedroom looking radiant and relaxed with a sandwich in her hand, "Jeff and Aurora will find Homicide, Joe and Angie there's no point in putting the whole company in danger by going into the dragon's den as you said Christian,"
"So what are we supposed to do?" Robert Roode said throwing his hands up, "Stay here and discuss baby names with you?"
"I got one, how about James?" James Storm said.
"I'm having a girl," Amy replied.
"Okay how about Princess James?" James said and Kevin Nash rolled his eyes.
"We're leaving, goodbye sweetheart good luck with the baby," Jeff Jarrett said and he went to move Chyna away from the stairs.
"Kevin!" Chyna complained to her Kliq buddy. "Tell Jeff to listen to Amy,"
"Jeff listen to Amy," Nash said unconvincingly.
"Could you say it like you mean it?" Joanie complained.
"Sorry Jo I just don't feel like sitting on my hands while two WWE punks have their way with our TNA wrestlers," Kevin Nash said.
"It's alright Joanie let them go," Amy said calmly and Chyna looked at Amy surprised but she did as she was asked and moved out of the way so the TNA wrestlers could leave.
"Ouch!" Jeff Jarrett yelped as he went to open the door, "the doorknob is hot,"
Joanie smiled knowing Amy had deliberately heated the doorknob up so they wouldn't be able to leave through the front door.
"Here let me try - ow!" Matt Morgan said shaking his hand which was now burning, "man that door is hot!"
"I told you it was hot you moron, how they put your DNA in space I'll never know," Jeff Jarrett said, "Let's try out the back door come on,"
The wrestlers headed towards the back door through the kitchen and Jeff tried to open the door but he pulled his hand away in pain, the knob there was hot too and Joanie laughed, "There's gotta be another way outta here let's jump through the window,"
Joanie rolled her eyes at Jeff's naivety but Big Kev finally put a stop to it, "Jeff come on, if the doorknobs are hot, what are the odds of the windows not being hot too? Amy's obviously trying to keep us in the house with her Righteous Indignation," Kevin Nash explained and everyone looked up at the stairs at the pregnant red-head waving down at them.
"Come on guys stay with me I could use the company since Aurora's in Charlotte and Joanie's going to visit the ARK Angels at school," Amy said, "Homicide, Joe and Angelina will be here before you know it,"
The TNA wrestlers discussed it between each other before deciding to stay, "Okay Amy we trust you," Jeff Jarrett said.
"Help yourself to whatever you want in the kitchen except for the tuna melt, feel free to walk around the house and stuff while I get changed," Amy said deciding it would be best not to stay in her slippers and nightdress while she had company.
"How long is it going to snow like this?" Gail Kim said looking out of the window while everyone headed towards the kitchen.
"It shouldn't last much longer," Joanie said putting Amy's food on a tray and leaving it on the kitchen table for her.
"It's nice and warm in here though," Traci Brooks said.
"You can thank Amy for that, she's our own personal central heating system," Joanie said licking the butter off her fingers and pulling on her coat, "Okay guys I gotta go to Waterside I'll be back in an hour or so - Amy can you turn off your Righteous Indignation so I can get out the front door?"
Seconds later the door knob cooled and Joanie opened the door with no problem at all. As the door shut Amy turned her Righteous Indignation back on, she wasn't taking any chances.
"Hey babe," Amy said answering the phone by her bed happy to hear Shawn's voice on the other end, "How's everything down at Casa Flair?"
"You'd never guess who has a little tattoo power of his own," Shawn said.
"Who?" Amy asked.
"Edge - that sun tattoo on his shoulder has been heating up the whole house," Shawn said from the couch in Ric Flair's living room while everyone else was huddled around Edge like moths around a flame.
"Guys seriously you don't have to be so close to me I can keep you warm from a distance," Edge complained.
"Just make with the heat flame boy," Hunter said with his arms wrapped around Edge and the Rated R Superstar sighed.
"His whole body is like a lamp it's awesome, I didn't even have to use my Righteous Indignation," Shawn said.
"And I'm not even going to ask about that thing that I'm not supposed to ask about," Amy said even though she really wanted to know how Jeff and Aurora did against Punk and Batista yesterday.
"That's good because you shouldn't be asking but I'll tell you this much, the show went ahead without a hitch," Shawn said and Amy smiled suspecting as much.
"I knew it would," she said and she turned to see the ever inebriated form of James Storm coming through her bedroom door.
"How about James. St. Ann?" he suggested still on the baby names topic that ended about twenty minutes ago.
"For the last time James I'm having a girl," Amy said as James came over to her with a sandwich in his mouth and a beer hat on his head.
"Who you talking to?" he asked Amy staggering towards her.
"My husband," Amy replied turning away from James' stinking breath.
"You still with that dude from DX?" he asked her.
"Yes I am," Amy replied and James picked up a picture of Amy and Shawn from off her nightstand, then he threw it down and put his arm around her.
"Let me ask you something sweet britches, what does a beautiful girl like you want with a South Texan skunk like Shawn Michaels?" James asked her while Amy continued to hold her breath.
"I'm thinking Shawn wouldn't make me wanna throw up everytime I spoke to him," Amy said then she noticed a familiar smell coming from James' mouth, "That's my tuna melt," she said looking at the sandwich in his hands, "I told you guys not to eat that!"
"Amy honey are you okay?" Shawn asked wondering what James Storm was doing in his bedroom.
"Ow my arm!" James Storm complained as Amy twisted his arm behind his back and kicked him out of her bedroom.
"I'm fine honey, the TNA rosters' here keeping me company minus Joe, Homicide and Angelina Love who are doing a little monster hunting," Amy said eating what was left of her tuna melt. "You better ask Jacqueline to make me another one of these!" she yelled out the door.
"Not unless you name your baby James!" James Storm yelled back.
"I'll put it on the maybe list how about that?" Amy replied.
"That's good enough for me!" James replied.
"Good now go make me that sandwich!" Amy yelled.
"You want to call our baby girl James?" Shawn asked her.
"No I just really want a tuna melt sandwich," Amy explained and Shawn laughed.
"Do you think Joe, Homicide and Angelina went to Punk's house?" he asked her.
"Most likely but I can't answer any questions about those two people that are causing so much trouble," Amy said.
"Oh yeah I forgot, I'm just so used to having your input you know?" Shawn said and Amy smiled.
"I know and I appreciate it sweetie, will you be home later on tonight?" Amy asked him.
"I should be will the TNA roster still be there?" he asked her.
"Most likely," Amy said, "I told them you'd bring Joe, Homicide and Angelina Love back with you,"
"Tell them it's a done deal, how are you feeling?" Shawn asked.
"I feel great but I miss you," Amy replied leaning her head on the phone.
"I miss you too, running around trying to save the world is so much better with you by my side," Shawn said.
"Well I don't know how much running I can do right now but I'm there with you in spirit," Amy said.
"I know, I love you," Shawn said wrapping the phone cable around his fingers like they were Amy's.
"I love you too, see you later," Amy said and she hung up as Shawn said goodbye then she went to see how James Storm was doing with her tuna melt, it wouldn't be the only thing that was melting judging from the rosy glow on Amy's face after talking to HBK.
Shawn picked up Aurora from out of her bassinette while Jeff continued to warm himself up next to Edge, "You're going to have to do you thing with me and Jeff today baby girl," he told her as he was planning to go with Jeff and Aurora to Punk's house and wake Joe, Homicide and Angelina up if necessary. Aurora didn't seem to mind she was 3-0 against Batista and 1-0 against Batista and Punk, even though she didn't know it yet she came from a family of winners and she wasn't looking to lose her winning streak anytime soon. "Jeff let's go I wanna go to Philly with you and Aurora to make sure Homicide, Joe and Angelina are okay," Shawn said to the Charismatic Enigma who was now the warm and fuzzy Enigma.
"I'll be right there boss," Jeff said before rubbing his head on Edge's hair which felt like an electric blanket. "Oh yeah that's the stuff," Jeff said with pleasure.
"Urgh get off me you freak!" Edge said pushing Jeff away, "Everybody get off me!" he said pushing everyone away and heading for the door, "Screw this I'm coming with you guys," he said opening the door to a shivering and absolutely frozen MVP.
"Well I found Ric Flair's house - 12 hours later!" MVP said furiously, "Why didn't one of you buttholes call me and tell me I was going the wrong way?"
"I should point out right now that I don't think one of these guys has your cell phone number," Shawn said.
"Well I ain't giving it to none a y'all now, with friends like you who needs enemies?" MVP said his lips chattering.
"Why does your fur coat have patches of fur pulled out of it?" Jeff Hardy asked.
"Because some bear saw me and thought I was in the mood for some bear loving if you know what I mean," MVP said and the wrestlers cracked up, "Ha-ha, very funny," he said not amused at all, "Hey my lips ain't chattering no more," MVP said feeling his face and the blood started to circulate around his body and the ice on his now mangled fur coat started to melt, "Where is that heat coming from?" he said looking around and Edge panicked.
"Nobody," he said, "come on Shawn, Jeff let's go!"
Edge headed out the door but MVP pulled him back, "Hold on its coming from you!" he said feeling the heat coming from Edge's body.
"It's his sun tattoo it generates heat just like the sun," Shawn explained and MVP's face lit up and he pulled Edge back into the house. "I think it's safe to say it'll just be the three of us," Shawn said to Jeff Hardy and Aurora as MVP chased Edge all around the house with the other wrestlers not far behind him.
"There must be some way to turn this thing off," Edge said rubbing his arm. As Ric Flair came out of his bedroom Edge almost collided with him, he put his hand up signaling for Ric to get out of the way and a bright light shone from his hand right into Ric Flair's eyes.
"My eyes, I can't see!" Ric said holding his face and Edge gasped and all the other wrestlers wondered what just happened as Hunter knelt down to check on Ric.
"Shawn!" Hunter called down the stairs and HBK came running back up and saw Ric Flair holding his face.
"What happened?" Shawn asked.
"Edge blinded Ric," MVP said.
"It was an accident!" Edge said grabbing his hair in a panic, he was totally unnerved by what just happened.
"Its alright Ric," Shawn said as Hunter pulled Ric's hands down from his eyes so Shawn could rub some of the Balm of Gilead on them. Moments later Ric's vision was restored and he could see clearly.
"I am so sorry Ric I didn't mean to blind you!" Edge pleaded and Ric hugged him with a smile.
"I know you didn't," he said and Edge smiled relieved that Ric wasn't mad at him only to get a thumb to the eye from the Nature Boy, "An eye for an eye Rated R, whooo!"
"Ow!" Edge said holding his face and everyone laughed at him.
"What happened?" Shawn asked Edge.
"I was trying to stop the heat from my tattoo coming out so I rubbed it and when I put my hands up light came out of them and blinded Ric," Edge said.
"Wow that's some power you got there Edge, Big Red said that the first person to experience it was going to get hurt and she was right," Jeff Hardy said.
"Yeah just don't go nuts on it like Punk and Batista have with theirs," Hunter said.
"Oh don't worry I won't, especially now that I know what damage it can do," Edge said squeezing Ric's shoulder warmly.
"Mmm that feels good," Flair said and squeezed Edge liking the heat coming from his body and everybody followed suit as they started to feel cold again. Edge rolled his eyes but he endured it knowing Aurora's cold weather front wouldn't last much longer.
"I think this is where we left off," Shawn said to Jeff, "Let's go,"
"Man I wish we could take Edge with us," Jeff said rubbing his shoulders then he saw MVP's fur coat on the floor, "Thank you Montell," he said putting it on.
"Hey that's my fur coat!" MVP complained as Jeff left with Shawn and Aurora looking like he just stepped out of John Morrison's wardrobe.
"Don't worry Montell I got a million of those in my closet," Ric Flair said.
"Can I have one?" MVP asked hopefully.
"No you can't," Ric Flair replied and everyone laughed at MVP's angry face as the former United States Champion realized he couldn't seem to get along with anyone from North Carolina no matter how Xtreme, Charismatic or legendary they were.
