Chapter 28
Randy and John stood their snickering at the group. Glen sat up and glared at Randy.
"Who are you calling princess, Orton?" he growled.
"Man, take a good look around you and then look at yourself. All of you look like a bunch of princesses to me." Randy replied.
Glen looked around the room. He noticed that everyone had on makeup, tutus, and princess crowns. Then he looked down at himself and got a scowl on his face. He also had on a tutu which was pink. He felt his head and found the crown. What he didn't know was that Randy and John had already snapped pictures of the group with their phones.
Everyone had started waking up and looking around. They all started complaining about lack of sleep and the way they looked. While they argued and blamed each other, Anna twirled around while singing.
"I'm a beautiful princess!" Anna sang over and over again.
Everyone looked at her in shock. Cody glared at her.
"ANNA, did you do this?" he asked her.
"Don't look at me! I'm innocent!" Anna insisted.
Ted pointed out that she couldn't have done it since she was cuddled between him and Cody. Everyone then looked at Lily but Mike spoke up and defended her.
"There is no way Lilyana could have gotten out of this bed without me or Zack noticing." He told the group.
Everyone looked back and forth between Phil and Glen who both glared at everyone. As they were all trying to figure out who was to blame, AJ came skipping down the hall happily. Phil knew in an instant who was responsible for the makeovers.
"AJ!" Phil said scolding her.
She tried to look at him with an innocent smile but her guilt showed on her face. She started giggling and Phil just looked at her. Eventually she explained that yes she had done the deed. Everyone ended up forgiving her and eventually seeing the humor in it all.
"All right everyone go get cleaned up and get your asses to the table for breakfast. Sam has worked hard on it." Randy said.
"Dress for the gym." John added, "Morning workout starts immediately after breakfast."
Everyone grumbled at that, especially Lily. The last thing they all wanted to do was work out after being up all night. Randy looked at Cody questioningly.
"Rhodes didn't you tell your party guests that I would be waking them up for the morning workout?" Randy asked him.
They all glared at Cody and he shrugged. He explained that he thought they wouldn't wake everyone else up. Randy and John laughed at that.
Finally everyone left Lily's room except Lily and John. John sat on his daughter's bed so he could talk to her. He wanted to make sure she was ok after having watched those movies. After he was sure she was fine he hugged her and she hugged him back.
"If you ever get scared, you can come get me Princess. I will always be here for you." John said and kissed Lily on the forehead.
A short while later, everyone was cleaned up and dressed in their workout gear. They were sitting at the table eating the amazing breakfast that Sam had prepared. Lily and Cody were both practically falling asleep at the table. Randy and John shared a knowing look.
When they got to the gym, everyone started heading in their separate directions. Randy stopped Cody and whispered something to him. John had already told Lily that he and Randy would be in charge of her workout that morning. Randy had told Cody that he would be working out with them as well. Cody didn't look pleased. He knew what that meant. He and Lily were in for a hard workout. Cody groaned as he followed Randy and John over to some mats.
"Alright, we are gonna start with some stretches to get your blood flowing and wake you two sleepy heads up." Randy said.
Lily frowned. The tone in his voice told Lily that her godfather was about to give her the workout of her young life. One look at her dad's face told her that he wasn't about to save her. She would just have to suck it up and do what they wanted.
"Sorry Lily Pad." Cody whispered to her.
"It's ok Flying Squirrel. I could have went to bed earlier if I had wanted to." Lily replied as they were starting the warm up.
Randy lead them in some annoying warm up exercises that including jumping jacks. Lilyana hated jumping jacks and started to complain. The look on John's face was enough to shut her up. After the grueling warm up, they moved on to the treadmills. John took over the controls on Lily's and Randy had the controls on Cody's.
Meanwhile, Paul was making sure his daughter Anna, Ted, and Zack were getting a proper workout. The rest of them were handling things just fine on their own until Glen found Mike dozing off on a weight bench. AJ and Phil got a good laugh when Glen scared Mike awake. The workouts continued for a couple hours and by the end, Lily and Cody were exhausted. Everybody that was staying at Randy's headed back to the house. Lily fell asleep in the car. Cody and Mike kept yawning. Needless to say, most of the house took a nice nap that day.
After lunch, John told Lily that the adults were going out to celebrate with Sam and Randy and she would be staying the night with Bob and Elaine Orton. She was happy because she loved Randy's parents and considered them grandparents. Randy had already told them the good news about his engagement and they had been excited to have Lily for the night. When her dad was done talking to her, she headed to her room to pack her overnight bag. She made sure to put her stuffed animals from Anna, Cody, and Mike in it.
The rest of the day passed by quickly and soon Lily was on her way to Grandpa and Grandma Orton's house. They only lived about 5 minutes away so she didn't have long to ride in the hummer. When they got there, Randy took her to the door. He hugged her and kissed her forehead before saying bye.
"Now you behave for my mom and dad, Lils. Don't give them a hard time and for Pete's sake, go to bed at a decent time tonight." Randy told her.
"Ok Uncle Randy. I will." She said while hugging him.
Elaine had answered the door with a huge smile. She hugged her son and then turned to Lilyana. As Randy was walking to his hummer, he couldn't help but laugh. His mom had engulfed Lily in the biggest hug ever. He also couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to have a child of his own.
"Come on dear, let's put your things in your room and then we can go say hello to your grandfather." Elaine said.
Lily smiled and followed her to the room she would be staying for the night. It was a cozy room that was nicely decorated. It was done in a nice calm blue that reminded her of the summer sky. Elaine helped Lily put her clothes in the dresser and then put her animals on the bed.
After that they went in search of Bob. They found him in the living room watching TV. Lily sat down on the couch next to him and he put his arm around her. Lily smiled. She sure had missed them both.
"So how's my favorite Lil Diva doing? I saw your debut match and it was great." Bob said.
Lily thanked him and they talked about everything that had been going on in her life. She even told them about the all-night party and horror film marathon. Bob just shook his head at that.
"You know Lilyana; you're a talented wrestler already. If you want to be the best though, you have to get a proper workout every day, eat right, and get the proper amount of sleep every night." Bob told her.
Lily smiled and hugged him.
"Oh you don't have to worry about me. Your son and my dad both made sure I got a good workout in today. Uncle Randy can be such a drill sergeant some times." She told him, making them both laugh.
She had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma Orton but soon it was time for bed. She had thought about trying to convince them to let her stay up a little longer but remembered her promise to Uncle Randy. So, after kissing them both and telling them goodnight, she headed to her room and went to bed. A little while later, Elaine went to check on her. She found Lily curled up in bed, cuddling her stuffed animals, and sound asleep. She took a picture with her phone and sent it to Randy. Randy smiled and showed it to John. They were pleased that she was finally getting a decent night's sleep.
While they were at the club, John received a phone call. It was from his brother Matt.
"Hi Matt, what's up?" John said answering his phone.
Matt told John he had something he needed to tell him. John didn't like the sound of that. Matt sounded like it was bad.
"Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but you need to know. I saw Liz kissing another guy." Matt told him.
John couldn't believe what he had heard. He just couldn't believe that Liz was cheating on him. After he ended the call with his brother, he told Randy he needed to step outside. Once out there, he called Liz.
"John, I'm sorry, but yes, I've found someone else. I was going to tell you, I just haven't had time to call. Sorry." Liz told him confirming what he had been told.
John broke off the relationship with her and hung up. When he walked back into the club, Randy could tell something was wrong. John ended up telling his best friend about Liz cheating and about the break up. After that, Randy went to dance with Sam and John found some chick to dance with. With the exception of the breakup, everyone had a great time. Even Anna, Cody, Ted, and Mike enjoyed themselves despite being tired.
