AN: I have but one thing to say about this chapter: YAY HAPPY FUN LEGACY ALL NIGHT PARTY BASHES!
(Jessie)
Well, with no Randy or John around, that stuck me with Ted and Cody. Which isn't necessarily a BAD thing, but I quickly learned that when Daddy was away, Legacy WILL play.
"Alright, Cody, what do you wanna do tonight?" Ted asked suddenly while we were driving the next day.
"Uh, all night Halo and pizza party!"
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Yeah, seriously," Cody sneered. "It's my night to pick what we get to do, so I say we play Halo and eat pizza all night."
"We do that every night anyway," I pointed out.
"We don't have PIZZA every night!" Cody argued.
"Just let it go, Jess," Ted said with a smile. "You get used to it after a while. He goes through phases. Remember when you met us?" I nodded. "That was the after math of the LAST time it was just me and him on the road."
"Oh, so whenever Randy and John leave…"
"WE HAVE HAPPY FUN LEGACY ALL NIGHT PARTY BASHES!" Cody declared excitedly from the back seat.
"Codes, how much caffeine have you had today?" I asked suspiciously.
"Just this coffee stuff from PJ's. Want some?"
"Sure," I said, reaching to take the offered drink.
"WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" He started laughing at his own joke. I looked up at Ted.
"This is gonna be a LONG ride." He just nodded in agreement.
When we got to the hotel, Cody sweet talked the lady at the reception counter into procuring us a room with a 42 inch flat screen HD super TV.
"Who's the best?" he asked as we all stood in wonder at the largeness of the TV. "Go on, say it!" He came up behind me and Ted and put us both in head locks. "SAY IT!"
"You're the best, Cody!" I said quickly. Ted just grabbed him and flipped him onto the bed. But Cody had a grip on me, and so we all ended up in a pile fighting. Well, I was just fighting to get out, but somehow I kept getting pulled back in. Finally, I pulled Cody into a sleeper, like I had watched all of them do on stage for the past few weeks.
"Jess, you're strangling me."
"GOOD!" I yelled. "Tap!"
"No!" he yelled back, sounding outraged.
"Tap," I warned. "Or get Ted to help you." He reached up to pry my arms from around his neck, but Ted held them down.
"You guys suck." He tapped on Ted's arm, and we both jumped up and high fived.
"Hey," Ted said after a moment. "Didn't you say your grandpa was a wrestler?"
"Yup. Big Slim."
"That makes you a third generation wrestler, just like me," he pointed out. My mouth opened.
"Dude, you're totally right!"
"Hey Teddy, I think Legacy always needed a little femininininininty," Cody said, struggling with the last word. While Cody tried to figure out how to pronounce femininity, Ted looked at me with a grin.
"How would you like to be the official fourth member of Legacy?"
"That would be flipping awesome, Ted! But, does Legacy even count anymore?" He frowned at me. They had officially broken up at Wrestlemania.
"Legacy will ALWAYS count, and don't you forget it." I laughed.
"Alright, sir, I would be honored to be the fourth member of the everlasting Legacy," I said.
"Now it's REALLY a Happy Fun Legacy All-Night Party Bash!" Cody yelled.
"How did he remember that?" I asked Ted.
"Really, he does STRANGE things when he's hyper." We looked over at him and saw him chugging a Coke.
"That's THREE tonight, boy and girl! It's gonna be CRAZY!" He grabbed another one, and I snatched it from him.
"I think I'm gonna need a couple of these before the night's over," I said. Ted shrugged and grabbed one, too.
We were right. It would be a crazy night. I warned them, I get STRANGE when on caffeine. And I hadn't had any in weeks, so any resistance I had built up was GONE. I'm pretty sure that if anyone had walked in on us that night, they would have thought that we had been drinking something a lot more alcoholic. But I can attest to the fact that no alcohol was in the room that night. I guess that doesn't change the fact that around 1 in the morning, the hotel management came by to tell us to shut up. And we did… for a while. It wasn't till 3 that morning that the big guy showed up. The head honcho, who had been on tour with us for a while.
When someone started banging on the door, we played rock paper scissors to see who would have to deal with whoever it was. I lost, and was pushed towards the door. I opened it up, and was speechless.
The man on the other side took one look at me, and then stepped in. He grabbed my shoulder and steered me into the room to face down Ted and Cody. The moment they looked at him, they both shut up.
"Uh, hey Mark," Ted said. The big Mark Calloway had come to our room at three in the morning. NOTHING good could come of this. He still had his big hand on my shoulder, and I was terrified.
"Help me!" I mouthed to my Legacy brothers. Cody's eyes got big, and he shook his head inconspicuously.
"That's the Undertaker," he mouthed back.
"Boys," Mark rumbled. "If you two can't handle having a kid with you, she'll have to stay with me."
"Well, uh," Ted said. "She would be with John, but-"
"Cut the crap. Vince already told me. Now either you three shut up, or she comes on permanent vacation with me and Glenn until Randy and John come back. Do you understand?" I nodded my head vigorously, but Ted and Cody grinned at each other evilly.
"I dunno Mark. She's a bad influence. Maybe you SHOULD take her for the night," Cody said with a grin. My eyes got big.
"Really, Mr. Mark, we didn't mean to be loud, I'll make sure they shut up."
"No, no Mark," Ted said. "We would have gone to bed HOURS ago if she wouldn't have been here."
"Alright, then," Mark said. "I guess that settles it. You'll have to come with me, miss." He steered me out the door.
"But… but… Ted! Cody! You guys suck!" The door to our room shut, and I was alone in the hallway with the Undertaker. I looked up at him, slightly terrified. He looked down at me and winked.
"Give it an hour. We'll get them back." If it was possible, my jaw dropped a little lower.
"Seriously?"
"Sure! We've all got to have a little fun."
So, we went up to Mark and Glenn's room, and I found myself hanging out with Kane and the Undertaker for an hour. Well, it was more like I sat awkwardly for an hour. That's when Mark grinned at me and opened up his phone. He put the phone on speaker and set it on the table in front of us.
"Hey, Ted," he said.
"Hey, Mark," Ted mumbled sleepily.
"Did Jessica go back to your room?"
"What?" he asked, suddenly sounding more alert. "No! I mean, I thought she was with you!"
"She was. I just heard the door shut, and she wasn't in the room. Did she go back down to your room?"
"No! When did she leave? How long has it been? Did she talk to anyone before she left?" Cody could be heard in the background, and Ted explained everything to him. Cody groaned.
"Aww, Randy's gonna kill us!" Cody exclaimed.
"It must have been like 15 minutes ago." He motioned at me and Glenn to go. Glenn nodded, and I followed him out of the room.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To bribe the doorman," he said with a grin. I've been waiting to get back Ted and Cody for a prank they played a couple weeks ago. You needed to come with me because they're about to go up to my room and check around."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. EVERYONE listens to Mark. He's Mark Calloway, for cryin' out loud."
The doorman agreed to tell Ted and Cody that I had left, and we got in the elevator the moment they were running down the stairs. We headed back up to Mark's room, and he was talking to Randy.
"Yeah, I'm sorry to be bothering you this early. We're teaching Ted and Cody a lesson. So when they call you saying that they lost Jessica, she's right here."
"Hey Randy!" I called. Mark chuckled.
"He says hey. Alright, I'll talk to you later."
Marks phone started ringing again a few minutes later.
"Mark! The guy at the door says he saw her leaving! What are we gonna do?"
"Relax, boys. She can't go anywhere at 4 in the morning. We'll go looking for her when the light comes up. Go back to bed."
"No! I've gotta find her! It's cold outside, its dark, who knows what kinda freaks are out there…"
"We are in SO much trouble!" Cody said. I was feeling bad now.
"Can I tell them?" I whispered. Mark laughed silently, and then nodded.
"Ted?"
"Jess?" he said, sound immensely relieved.
"Everything's ok, Ted. I've been with Mark the whole time."
"What? But… We went up there, and..."
"That's what you get for handing me over to the scary guy, haha!" I said loudly. "No offence, Mr. Mark."
"None taken," he rumbled.
"We're not dead!" Cody exclaimed in the background.
"Don't, DON'T move!" Ted ordered. "I'm comin' up there." He hung up, and in about thirty seconds he was knocking on the door. I opened it up and grinned at him. He hugged me. "Don't EVER do that again!"
"Yeah!" Cody piped in. "Do you WANT Randy to kill us?"
"It was Mark's idea…" I muttered.
"Have you two learned your lesson?" Mark asked.
"Y-yes sir," Ted said. I walked out to go with Ted, and Mark stopped us.
"Y'know, I've got a son about your age. You two should meet." I smiled.
"Alright, I'd like to meet him. G'night, Mark, Glenn."
