Chapter 20
After the show, Randy, John, Lilyana, Mike, Cody, and Anna crowded into the hummer. They were off to the airport. Lily was glad that Mike and Anna had come along with Cody. She was really nervous about the trial and it was nice to have them to distract her.
"Since the next show is in St. Louis, you guys can stay at my place if you want. I have plenty of rooms. Just go ahead and head there. We will meet you there in a couple days." Randy said.
"Sweet!" Cody said.
Cody had stayed with Randy before and thought his house was great. Plus it meant they could all hang out together. He wondered if they would have a party there for the whole roster like they usually do. He didn't have to wonder long though because Randy confirmed it.
"You know what that means Lily Pad?" Cody asked her.
"That I'm stuck with you and Mike the whole time we are there." Lily replied giggling.
Anna had to laugh at the mock hurt look on Cody's face. It was so cute. He was giving Lily the cutest puppy dog eyes ever. Mike's look was a close second to Cody's. Lily laughed.
"Geeze Mini Miz that hurt." Mike said.
"Ok ok I'm sorry. It was just a joke geesh." Lily said still laughing.
Cody and Mike grinned at her and then at the same time said,
"It means a super all night Legacy plus party!"
"A what?" Lily and Anna both asked.
Randy and John both started laughing and shaking their heads. They explained that a super all night Legacy plus party meant that Cody and Mike planned on keeping anyone they could up all night playing video games. Cody and Ted used to have them all the time. Randy also let them know that Ted would be staying at the house as well.
"Codes you and Anna can share a room but remember there are others in the house. Lils, you can have your old room. I haven't changed it since the summer you and your dad stayed with me." Randy said.
"Oh my goodness, Uncle Randy, you can't be serious. Do I really have to sleep in a room decorated in little bunnies and pink frills? What was I thinking when I picked that?" Lily whined.
John couldn't help but laugh and neither could the others, especially after Randy showed them all a picture of little Lily sitting on the bed in the room. Lily covered her face embarrassed. Randy told her not to worry and that they would redecorate while she was there. Lily was relieved.
Soon they were at the airport. Lily yawned. At least she would be able to sleep on the plane. John and Randy got the bags out of the back and carried them in to the airport. Lily had a backpack that she carried as her carry on. Once inside, the guys checked the luggage. The other three took that time to say their goodbyes to Lily and comfort her.
"Look at me Lily Pad. You are a strong and brave girl. You will be fine. Just go up there and tell the truth. Love ya kiddo." Cody said hugging her.
"Thanks Flying Squirrel. Love ya too." She said hugging him back.
Next Anna hugged her.
"Cody's right ya know. You are a very brave girl. Any girl who can get in that ring at your age and do what you did has to be brave. Just go up there tell the truth and trust that everything will be ok. You and I have some training to do together when you get back. Ok?" she told Lily.
Lily nodded and hugged her. Next Mike scooped Lily up into a big hug.
"Listen, I hate to admit it, but those two are right. You got this. You are the only person I know that has ever went out there for their first time in the ring and reversed a submission hold, especially that stupid yes lock. Besides, you are the Mini Miz…" Mike was saying when Lily cut him off.
"And I'm AWESOME!" Lily finished for him, giggling.
By that time, Randy and John had rejoined the group. Randy started lecturing them about his hummer. John and Lily just stood behind him laughing and Lily was mocking him.
"I mean it Runnels, there better not be one scratch or dent on my baby that wasn't already there. If there is I'm gonna kick your ass. That goes for you too Miznan." Randy said sternly.
"Yes Sir Mr. Orton sir." They said in unison jokingly.
Randy shook his head. They all said their good byes again and then Randy, John and Lily boarded the plane. Once on the plane, Lily pulled out her iPod and put the headphones in. She lay back in her seat and was out shortly after takeoff. As she slept on the plane, she began dreaming about Marvin and his trial. She was starting to get upset but then remembered what everyone said. In her dream, she looked Marvin in the eyes and told him that he would never hurt her again. It felt good to stand up to the man that had been bullying her for over two years. Her dad and Randy had both dozed off sometime during the flight as well.
They all woke up just before the plane landed at the Shreveport airport. Once they landed, the three got off the plane and found their luggage. Vince had arranged a rental car for them and reserved their hotel room. They found the rental car place and claimed the car he rented for them. John put his and Lily's luggage in the trunk while Randy put in his own. After that, they loaded into the car and drove to the nearby hotel. They were shocked when they got to their room. Vince had booked them a three bedroom suite. Each person had their own room.
"Wow! Mr. McMahon spared no expense. He must really like you dad." Lily exclaimed.
John and Randy laughed. The truth was that in just a short time, Lily had already won the affection of Vince. When she heard them laughing she glared at them.
"What's so funny?" she asked
"Well, Princess, it was you that he spared no expense for. He has told me numerous times that he loves your spunk and feisty personality." John said.
Lily smiled. It felt good to know that her new WWE "family" liked her. While she was thinking about that, she yawned. John suggested that she head off to bed. Tomorrow would be a long day. They had to meet with the prosecuting attorney and also go shopping for some appropriate clothes for Lily to wear to court. John and Randy already had suits with their luggage because of press conferences and media related events. Lily wasted no time getting to bed and it didn't take her long to be sound asleep. Lily had already said that if it were up to here, she would wear her ring gear. Even Cody and Mike had told her no to that one.
Shortly after Lily had retired for the night, John and Randy went to their rooms as well. It had been a long day and they had no doubt that the next few would be the same. As he was headed towards his room, Randy was grumbling about Cody, Mike and his hummer. John just laughed
"Relax Orton. Your precious hummer will be just fine. It's not like you had a choice anyways since we both have to take the stand as well." John said as he was heading towards his own room.
"Night Cena." Randy called from his doorway.
"Night Orton." John replied back from his own doorway.
Both men called their girlfriends before going to sleep that night. Liz told John see was sorry she couldn't be there and hoped everything turned out ok. Sam asked Randy if he wanted her to get on a plane and fly there. He told her she didn't have to but she decided she would anyways. She figured they could all use the moral support. She told Randy that her mind was made up and she would be on a plane in the morning. Randy sighed and said ok. After both men had hung up their cell phones, they went to sleep. Lord only knew what tomorrow would bring.
