Chapter 11: Beach Day
Normal POV
It was a new morning, a were-boa free morning, as the wrestlers continued to snooze away in their respective rooms after a hard night's work last night. Everyone was asleep, well, mostly everyone, as Amanda became the first to wake up. She looked up at the ceiling before realizing that Randy was still fast asleep, his head lying on her shoulder as his arms were snuggly wrapped around her waist.
Awww, my cute, little Viper is still asleep. Amanda thought in her head as she watched Randy's sleeping face, completely serene as the sunlight filtered into the room through the new window, which the two quickly put in after finding a spare window hidden in the basement the previous night. Amanda turned toward the window to see a small brown spider walking along the glass outside and an idea popped into her brain.
This is going to be fun. Amanda thought as a small mischievous smile graced her lips. She used her powers to telekinetically open the window and used her shield ability to capture the spider in a small clear cage similar to the one she used to trap the were-boa in. She brought the cage over to the bed and looked at the spider with a curious eye.
"Well, hello there." said Amanda as she tapped on the cage. The spider tried to crawl along the cage's wall, but couldn't get a good grip on the clear surface. Its black eyed stare was glued to Amanda since it had nowhere else to go. "You are going to help my friend here get over his little fear of you and your kind okay?"
The spider stood up on its hind legs, showing off its fangs, as its front legs continued to tap against the shield. Amanda smirked at the spider before turning her attention to her bedmate.
"Randy . . . oh Randy?" said Amanda as she tapped the side of Randy's head continuously to get him to wake up. His eyes began to flutter open after the 37th tap.
"Amanda . . . "Randy groaned as he let out a big yawn that showed his fangs. "Why the hell did you wake me up so early in the morning?"
"Well, if you turn your head forward, you'll find out." said Amanda with a sheepish look on her face, acting like she had no idea that a spider was hanging in a bubble just in front of their faces. Randy raised an eyebrow at her in suspicion before turning forward.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" he yelled in surprise as he let go of Amanda's waist and rolled away from the spider, instantly hitting the ground face first with a hard thud.
"Are you okay Randy?" Amanda asked in mild surprise as she crawled over to the edge of the bed to see Randy lying flat on his stomach. He picked his head up to send a scowl Amanda's way, but his eyes went straight toward the spider still in its bubble behind her head.
"What the hell do you think you're doing with that spider in that bubble behind your head?" Randy asked her as his eyes went wide as he continued to stare at the spider.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to help you get over your 'problem' with spiders once and for all, and this little friend of mine is going to help me do just that." answered Amanda as she sat up on the bed.
"How?" asked Randy as he sat up on the ground, not even going to try to get into the bed with the spider a few feet away from him.
"Simple . . . You're going to hold him." said Amanda as she took the shield bubble in her hands.
"WHAT . . . HELL NO!" said Randy as he scooted away from the bed.
"C'mon Randy; if you just hold the spider in your hand for at least a good 10 seconds, you will see that spiders aren't all that bad." said Amanda as she let made the shield bubble disappear, letting the spider crawl along her hand, instantly creeping Randy out.
"That is a wild spider in your possession and you're letting it crawl along your hand?" he asked in disbelief as he crossed his arms. "You don't even know if it's poisonous or not!"
"Don't worry Randy. The spider and I have a mutual understanding with each other." said Amanda as she turned to the spider in her hand. The little critter crawled along her hand before staring at Amanda, and then turning to Randy; creeping him out. "Just hold him already."
"Like I said: hell no!" cried Randy as he turned away from the spider and Amanda. Amanda scowled at the Viper, the feeling of irritation building in her as the known-to-be-scary Viper was acting like a child when it came to itty bitty spiders.
"Randy, you told Alanna that she shouldn't be afraid of anything and that you weren't afraid of anything yourself. What would happen if I told her that her own tough, not-afraid-of-anything father was actually scared of spiders? Huh?" asked Amanda as she narrowed her eyes at him. Randy turned to her in absolute shock, his eyes going to Amanda instead of the spider for once.
"You wouldn't dare tell her!" Randy whispered coldly as he stared at her with one of his signature Viper-like glares to boot.
"I so would," said Amanda as she held the spider in front of her face. "But if you want to prove me wrong, practice what you preached and just hold the damn spider."
Randy looked at Amanda's face before looking at the spider, who was staring right at him. Randy let out a deep sigh and slowly stretched his hand out. Amanda let a smile of victory come across her face as she pushed the spider onto Randy's palm. Randy wanted to desperately take his hand back, but it was too late as the arachnid was already on his right hand. He let out a low whimper as the spider didn't move around on his hand, but continued to stare at him right in the eye.
"Isn't this thing going to move?" Randy whispered through clenched teeth as he continued to eye the bug in his hand.
"It's just curious. It doesn't know what to make of you that's all." answered Amanda as she moved over to Randy's side. "Just take a deep breath and calm down. You're doing great."
Randy nodded his head and indeed did take a deep breath. The spider then started to move around in his hand, but Randy managed to compose himself and keep still as the spider began to move. The spider crawled up Randy's arm as the minutes passed, but instead of becoming more scared by it, he began to relax as he started to get used to it. When the spider reached Randy's shoulder, Amanda picked the spider up and let it crawl around her hand, finally giving Randy a break.
"So . . . do you still have a problem with spiders?" asked Amanda as she scratched the spider's back with her finger.
"Not really." said Randy with a small smile as he turned to her. "You helped me realize that I just needed to spend some time with one to really get used to them. Thanks."
"You're welcome. Besides, now that you've gotten over your problem with spiders, now when one of the other wrestlers decide to use spiders against you in a feud, they'll be in one for one hell of a surprise when they find out that you're not afraid of them anymore." said Amanda as she walked over to the window. She used her powers to safely levitate the arachnid over to a nearby tree branch, before closing the window back.
"That's true too!" called Randy from the bathroom.
"Are you seriously washing your arm in there?" asked Amanda as she walked over to the open bathroom door.
"Yeah . . . I may have gotten over my problem with spiders, but that doesn't mean I like the fact that one crawled on me thanks to you." said Randy as he scrubbed his arm with a rag.
"You are such a child." said Amanda as she heard the door come open. She turned to see Adam leaning against the entryway, dressed in a blue open, button down shirt that showed his abs, a pair of dark blue swimming trunks, and sandals.
"You two aren't ready yet?" asked Adam in surprise as he looked at the two in bewilderment. "Really?"
"I didn't know if we were going early or not." said Amanda as she crossed her arms.
"Because we're not leaving early for another hour!" called Monica as she appeared from behind Adam. She was dressed in a silver sundress; the straps of her gray bikini peeking from under the dress. "We're leaving in one hour! So you two should be getting ready!"
"Fine!" said Amanda and Randy in unison as they looked at the two tiredly. Adam shrugged as he and Monica left the two alone.
"You can have the bathroom first. I'm going downstairs to make us something to eat." said Randy as he walked out the bathroom.
"Thanks!" Amanda called after him as she walked into the bathroom to get ready. Randy walked into the hallway and down the stairs to see mostly all the guys already dressed for their trip to the beach. Only Lita and Layla were the only ones from the girls' side who were dressed for the day, both in bikini tops and jean shorts.
"You're not ready Orton?" asked Wade as he walked over to the sink with his coffee mug. Wade was dressed in a gray shirt, red trunks, and a pair of flip flops.
"Amanda and I didn't realize we were going to leave early. What time is it?" asked Randy as he looked through the freezer, successfully plucking out a box of waffles.
"8:35" answered Wade as he looked at the clock on the stove before washing his mug in the sink.
"Monica, where did you get the volleyball?" asked Lita as the two walked into the kitchen.
"Found it in the playroom beside the volleyball net. Hopefully the beach we're going to have its own net." said Monica as she threw the ball up in the air.
"Hey; when we get to the beach, how about we play a friendly game of volleyball, battle of the sexes' style?" asked Adam as he poked his head through the doorway.
"Give us a minute." said Lita as she grabbed Monica's arm and dragged her out the kitchen. Monica in turn, grabbed Layla's arm before she could enter the kitchen herself and dragged her up the stairs with them.
"Do you think they're going to accept the challenge?" asked Adam as he walked into the kitchen.
"They wouldn't dare. We would so beat them." said Wade as he put his clean mug on the dish rack.
"Dude . . . do you even know how to play volleyball?" asked Randy as he poured maple syrup over his and Amanda's recently heated waffles.
"No, but I've seen plenty of it on TV so I got the gist of it." answered Wade as he walked out the kitchen.
"ADAM, YOU AND THE GUYS ARE ON!" yelled Lita as the three girls came back down the stairs. "We are going to crush you in volleyball!"
"We'll see about that." said Adam as he let a smug smirk grace his lips. Randy shook his head as he took up the two breakfast plates and two forks and ran up the stairs all the way back to the bedroom.
"Hey Amanda, Breakfast is ready!" yelled Randy as he walked into the room. He turned to the bathroom entrance and instantly went wide eyed when he saw his girlfriend still in the bathroom. She was brushing her teeth dressed in a dark purple bikini. She turned her head to see Randy staring at her wide eyed and his mouth slightly opened with the food in hand.
"What?" she asked as she spit out her toothpaste and rinsed out her toothbrush. "You're acting like you've never seen me in a bikini before."
Randy continued to stay silent as he eyed his mate up and down. Noticing this, Amanda shook her head, walked over to her suitcase, and grabbed a spare black t-shirt with a glitter butterfly on its front from the top of the bag. She quickly put the shirt on, thus stopping Randy's eyes from looking any further.
"Aw man," he whined. "And just when I was getting to the boobs."
"You are such a guy." said Amanda as she grabbed the plate in Randy's left hand and plopped herself on the edge of the bed. "Me wearing a bikini shouldn't be much different from me wearing my wrestling outfit. I've worn bikinis plenty of times before, especially during those summer themed photo shoots management makes us Divas do."
"That's not true. . . There is a difference between you in a bikini and you in your wrestling outfit, considering the fact that you added a leather jacket to your gimmick. Nice touch by the way." complimented Randy as he cut into his waffle while leaning against the wall.
"Thanks, but give credit to the costume designer. It was her idea." countered Amanda as she took a bite of her waffle.
"You gotta love Meg, although, I was a little miffed when she suggested the idea of wearing wrestling briefs with pink detailing. I'm fine with purple, but pink is something I will never try. EVER!" said Randy as he wagged his fork in the air.
"Back during our Evolution days, you were never one to shy away from brightly colored wrestling briefs sir. What was the color of your briefs when you won your first World Heavyweight Championship? Light Pink?" asked Amanda with a small chuckle.
"It was not light pink," said Randy with a scowl. "It was peach, or was it salmon? Or maybe it was light orange."
"It was either peach or light orange in my opinion, but salmon? Really?" asked Amanda as she tried to hold in a laugh. "Can you imagine yourself wearing the color salmon?"
"No . . . not really, and I don't want to, so can we just drop the topic altogether?" asked Randy as he ate another piece of waffle.
"Fine, if you insist." said Amanda as she raised a hand in defeat.
"But, you yourself are guilty of wearing brightly colored outfits back in Evolution my dear Anaconda." said Randy with a small smirk.
"I thought we were going to drop the topic," said Amanda as she looked up at him in surprise. "And besides, I'm a girl. That enough is a good excuse for my early colorful outfits."
"Yeah . . . back then, you would be this always happy girly girl, until you wrestled in the ring and let the other side of you show." said Randy as he finished the last of his waffles. "It was how you got the Anaconda nickname right?"
"Not really; it was because I used a lot of submission holds back then. My grip was so tight, that no Diva could break out of it, thus I got my Anaconda nickname and it stuck to this day. I earned my snake brand a lot earlier than you did now that I think about it." explained Amanda she took another bite of her waffle.
"You got me there, my fellow snake." said Randy as he walked out the room. He was back seconds later, empty handed. "Now that I think about it, you use submission moves a whole lot less these days."
"I still use submission moves, just not as much as I used to." explained Amanda as she ate the last of her waffle. "I remember back in our rookie years, you used to use the crossbody a lot in your matches, but these days, you've never used it. AT ALL!"
"Let's just say, snakes are not meant to fly." said Randy as he grabbed his trunks from his suitcase.
"What about that movie 'Snakes on a Plane'?" asked Amanda as she walked over to the exit.
"Like I said before: Snakes are not meant to fly." called Randy as he walked into the bathroom. Amanda let a small smirk grace her lips as she waked out the room.
Says the guy that does a mean superplex from the top rope. Amanda thought as she walked toward the kitchen.

"This beach is amazing!" cried Alicia as the group walked out of the parking lot and onto the sandy beach.
"The water is so damn clear here. Its' beautiful." muttered Kofi as the group stared out into the ocean.
"Plus, the beach is not too crowded. It'll be easy to find a spot." said Ted as he looked around the beach. There were only a few families and a few couples that dotted the scenic landscape. A few shops and a changing area were off to the side at least a good 30 feet away from the group.
"Hey guys! I see a volleyball court just down the beach." said Kelly as she looked to the left.
"Let's set up shop there!" said Adam as he quickly walked away from the others, while the rest followed at a much slower pace.
"Someone's an eager beaver." said Monica as she crossed her arms.
"Eh . . . I'm guessing he's just in a hurry to start up the volleyball game." said Wade as they reached the volleyball net that was hanging between two steel poles. Adam was already setting up his towel on the sand a few feet off to the side. Everyone quickly set up their stuff on the sand before walking over to the net for the game.
"Okay, first game is battle of the sexes' style. Do we play by standard rules or should we freestyle it?" asked Kelly as she crossed her arms over her chest, stopping Ted from looking at her boobs any further.
"Let's freestyle it!" called Adam. "You can use any body part to help get the ball over the net!"
"Amanda! You serve!" said Monica as she threw the ball to her sister. Monica, Alicia, and Lita stood in a line closer to the net, leaving Amanda, Layla, Kelly, and Kaitlyn in the back line. The boys lined themselves up in accordance to their girlfriends' position: Wade, Kofi, and Adam covered the front line while Randy, Ted, Cod, and Sheamus covered the back line.
"Make it good!" called Cody as he looked at Amanda.
"I will!" called Amanda as she bounced the ball on her ankle. She kicked the ball and it went over the net and went straight for Cody like it was a line drive hit in a baseball game. Cody managed to set the ball in the air and Randy hit it as it went down. Layla managed to bump it over the net, but Adam managed to spike it over, but Alicia saw the move coming and set the ball back up in the air. Monica then spiked it next and she scored the first point in the game for the girls: the ball passed Wade and landed at Ted's feet.
"Nice one sis!" called Amanda as she high fived her sister.
"Dude! Why didn't you hit it? It landed right at your feet!" called Cody as he turned to Ted.
"Sorry! I thought Wade had it." said Ted as held his hands up in defeat.
"You should have at least backed Wade up in case the ball went past him." said Adam as he put his hand on his hair.
"Guys! We shouldn't be arguing with each other or else the girls are going to cream us!" said Randy as he got into position.
"When the hell did you become the voice of reason?" asked Kofi as he turned to the Viper.
"Since I remembered just now that Amanda and Monica used to be a part of our high school volleyball team. With those two on their squad, we have to look out." said Randy as he crossed his arms.
"Why couldn't you have told us this before fella?" asked Sheamus as he raised a red eyebrow.
"Like I said: I just remembered." said Randy as he shrugged his shoulders.
"How good are you two anyway?" asked Wade as he turned to the twins at the other side of the net.
"We led our high school team to the state championships three years in a row. Won two of them." answered Amanda as she spun the volleyball over her fingers.
"I was team MVP once." added Monica as she cracked her knuckles.
"AW SHIT!" cried Ted and Cody in unison.
"How do you not remember that Orton?" asked Wade as he turned to the Viper.
"I've had a lot of head shots dealt to me in my WWE career. I was bound to forget a few things over the years." said Randy as he shook his head.
"Can we please get back to the game? Or do you boys want to forfeit?" asked Lita as a smug smirk came across her face.
"Just serve the damn ball!" called Adam as he got back into position. The girls shot each other a look before getting ready for the next serve. Amanda did a more standard serve and bumped the ball over the net. Wade slapped it back over, but Lita managed to set it in the air. Kaitlyn then hit the ball over the net, but Kofi used his foot to kick it over the net. The ball went straight for Amanda and she managed to hit it over to Monica, who spiked it over the net, but just as it touched the top of the net, Wade spiked it to the sand on the girls' side.
"Nice one Wade!" said Adam as he high fived the British werewolf.
"I wasn't going to let the ball pass me this time." said Wade as he snuck a look at Monica, who just waved him off. "Randy, you serve!"
Wade threw the ball over to the vampire. Randy caught it and threw the ball up in the air. He hit the ball as it went down and he managed to get it over the net, but he hit it too hard and it went past the white boundary line and down the beach.
"It's out. Our point!" called Lita as she raised her hands in the air. Adam swiped his hand over his hair before turning to Randy with a small scowl on his face.
"Really dude?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow at the Viper.
"I'm not known for playing volleyball okay? Wrestling's my thing." said Randy as he awkwardly scratched his neck.
"I'll go get it." said Layla as she began to walk away from the group, but Amanda stopped her before she could walk five feet.
"Don't need to." said Amanda as she pointed forward. A group of about seven men in swim gear walking toward the group. They were all fit and all good looking to some degree. They were led by a guy that was about Randy's height and was bouncing and had the volleyball in his hands.
"Lost something?" asked the guy in the lead as he threw the volleyball up in the air and caught it in his hands.
"Mind giving it back?" asked Monica as she walked a few feet forward.
"That depends . . ." said the leader as he combed his fingers through his short black hair.
"Depends on what?" asked Randy as he started to suspect that something was off with these guys.
"Depends on whether you girls will play us in a friendly game of volleyball." said the black haired guy as he passed the ball to a dark skinned guy in the group; his corn rows looking really tight on his head as he begun to spin the ball like it was a basketball.
"You want us to play a game of volleyball with you guys? We were kinda in the middle of one." said Amanda as she crossed her arms at the group.
"Your guys can wait right?" asked a third guy from the group, a ginger who showed off his gap toothed grin.
"Can we just have our ball back?" asked Adam as he let out a long breath, really getting annoyed at this new batch of guys.
"We'll only give it back if your girls here will play us in a game of volleyball." said the dark skinned male as he threw the ball up in the air. "Are you in or not?"
"Give us a minute." said Lita, gaining a whole lot of shocked and surprised stares from both the girls and guys alike. She gestured for everyone to walk off court and back to their stuff to discuss the matter.
"Do you really think we should play a game of volleyball with these guys?" asked Kaitlyn as the group gathered in a circle.
"I don't like it. I don't think it's a good idea." said Adam as he crossed his arms.
"It's just a harmless game of volleyball. How bad could it be?' asked Lita as she gestured to the guys, who were now practicing on the court.
"Are you really sure about this?" asked Amanda as she raised an eyebrow at the female werewolf. "I have a bad feeling about this."
"Don't worry about it guys. We'll just play one simple game of volleyball and that's that. And if they don't give us back our ball, then Amanda and Monica can just telepathically convince them to give it back." said Lita as she outstretched her arms.
"Why can't we just telepathically convince them to give us our ball back right now?" asked Monica as she adjusted her bikini strap.
"Because that would be rude and I want to beat these guys." said Lita as she pointed her thumb at the group, who were now looking at them in return.
"Well I'm in." said Alicia as she crossed her arms. "The sooner we get this over with; the better."
"Ugh . . . sure, why not." said Layla as she did a small shrug.
"I'm in." said Kelly as she placed her hand on her hips.
"It couldn't hurt." said Kaitlyn as she cracked her knuckles. Lita smiled at the four before turning her attention to the twins, who both were staring at her with unsure looks on their faces.
"C'mon guys! Just this one time please?" said Lita as she wove her fingers together. Monica and Amanda shot each other an unsure glance before turning back to the female werewolf.
"Fine . . . I'll play in the game." said Monica as she let out a sigh of defeat. Lita let a big old smile creep onto her face as she turned from the younger twin to the older twin.
"Amanda . . . you are the only one left. What do you say?" said Lita as she crossed her arms. Amanda took her sunglasses off and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Do I have to?" she asked bluntly as she crossed her arms.
"Please?" asked Lita once again as she did the puppy dog eyes. "Pretty please?"
Amanda turned away from Lita to avoid looking at the puppy dog eyes, but Lita moved so that she was facing Amanda once again.
"C'mon . . . just this once? It's just a little game of volleyball." said Lita as she began to pull Amanda over to the court, but Amanda dug her feet in the sand to stop her from pulling her any further.
"I got this Lita." said Kaitlyn as she walked over to the two. Kaitlyn used her strength to her advantage and lifted Amanda's 6'2 frame over her shoulders. She then walked over to the court, much to the amusement of everyone around them, with a scowling Amanda right on her shoulders with her arms crossed.
"Well . . . that's one way to move an Anaconda." said Monica as she walked to join Kaitlyn and Amanda over at the court.
"And I got it all on video." said Ted as he held up his camera for everyone to see.
"Dude, give me a copy of that when we get back home okay? That would make for some great blackmail." said Randy as he looked over at Ted.
"I HEARD THAT RANDY!" yelled Amanda as she looked at the Viper with a cold stare. Randy looked at her in shock before whistling like he had no idea what Amanda was talking about.
"Does anyone else besides me getting a bad feeling about those guys? They just came out of nowhere." said Adam as he crossed his arms.
"You're not the only one." said Wade as he watched as the other girls joined Lita, Monica, and Amanda at the court. "I don't get them at all."
"What should we do?" asked Cody as he put his hands in his pockets. All the guys looked at each other before turning toward the court.
"All we can do is watch," said Kofi with a small scowl. "And wait."
