AN: Here it is folks. Our last day with Cody. Pout :/
(Jessie)
By the third night, I was exhausted. We had done our best to stay out of Kane and Taker's way, because we had the strange feeling that they were more likely to murder us than to prank us. All three of us had been without sleep for the past four days, so that third night, we tried to stay up and were planning on going down to the parking garage to toilet paper some cars, but at some point we ended up falling asleep playing Halo.
I had passed out, and I woke up to the sound of our door opening. I was SO tired, though, so when I looked up and saw Mark, Glenn, and their pack of vicious wolves walk in, I stuck my tongue out and let my head fall back on my pillow, which ended up being Ted's stomach, as I'd find out the next morning. We had accidentally gotten a room with a single queen sized bed, so Ted and Cody were going to have to share anyway. When we fell asleep playing the Xbox, Ted was my pillow, and Cody ended up just draped across me. Don't ask. We were exhausted.
"Just do it," I told them. "I'm too tired."
"Y'all are lightweights," Mark said with a chuckle as he shooed his cronies out. "It's only 9:30." I glanced over at the clock and saw that he was right. With a laugh, I fell back asleep.
When I next woke up, it was to sunlight coming through the window.
"Cody," I said, shaking him a little. "Get off." He moaned and swatted at my face.
"Shut up, I'm tired."
"Ted, get him off."
"Cody, get up."
"You get up."
"Guys, it's Friday." That made them both sit up.
"What!" Cody said.
"What time is it?" Ted asked. I looked over at the clock.
"8:30!" We had to be on a plane for Chicago at 7, and we had just missed it.
"I know I set the alarm on the clock!" Ted said. "How could none of us have heard it?" It hit me like a freight train why none of us had heard it.
"They turned it off," I said.
"Who did?" Cody asked.
"Last night, Mark came in I thought he had just left without doing anything, but I guess they musta turned off the alarm."
"Ohhh, they're just getting NASTY now," Ted said. "Maybe this prank stuff was a bad idea."
"Bah. Admit it, Ted, this is the most fun you've had in months," Cody gloated. Ted's phone started ringing.
"Hullo? Oh, hey, Randy. Yeah, we think they came in the room last night and turned off the alarm. We're just gonna drive. Sure, here." He handed me the phone.
"Hey Randy," I said.
"I just noticed that you three weren't on the plane," he said with a laugh. "We haven't taken off yet, but I think we're about to. There was some kind of weird delay."
"I heard them come in the room last night, but they left without doing anything," I explained. "They must have come back."
"I don't know. Anyway, you can make it if you go fast. Not that I'm encouraging speeding or anything, but I don't want y'all getting in trouble."
"Yeah, yeah," I said with a grin. "Alright, gotta go. I'll see you in a couple hours."
(Randy)
I looked over at Mark, who was sitting in the seat across from me. First class, baby.
"You know they missed the plane, right?" He laughed.
"Well I was certainly hoping so. I figured it would be a good start. Do you know how much we had to pay for the stink bomb that went off in that suite?" I laughed.
"So I guess that's not the end for them, then."
"We were gonna get them GOOD last night, but I walked in, and they were all passed out on top of each other."
"What?" Mark chuckled.
"Yeah. They must have just fallen asleep. Ted was layin' on the bed with his head on the pillow, and Jess was usin' his stomach for a pillow, and Cody was layin' across her. It was hilarious. I sent everyone else out and turned off the alarm. I'm certainly not done with them yet, though." I laughed.
"What is Cody going to do when it's just him against you and Glenn on Smackdown?" He sighed blissfully.
"I dunno, but we'll get him good." I rolled my eyes. Mark and Glenn were two sadistic SOB's. I decided then that maybe it was time for me to lend my Legacy kids a helping hand.
(Jessie)
We got to the arena about an hour before the show. We hadn't stopped for food or anything, so we were all starving. We practically ran down to catering, and we were met by Randy and John.
"C'mon," they said. Randy put an arm around my shoulder and steered me AWAY from the food.
"Randy, I'm HUNGRY!"
"Sorry, you lot can't have that. They spiked the rest of the food with laxatives. I'm SURE you two don't want to perform like that." Ted and Cody's jaw's dropped.
"Really?" Cody asked.
"The whole roster was warned not to eat it or tell you three," John said. "So, that means that we've officially joined your side. They've got people watching."
"This is insane," I said. "We're just pranking them."
"It's like a whole other world," Randy explained. "And you three just HAD to mess with the most powerful guys back here. They're just kidding, sure, but things can get pretty crazy around here sometimes."
"You wanna hear my advice?" John asked. I nodded. "Just take the fall. Let them get you back, and then Cody can enjoy himself before he's stuck with them." He turned to Cody with an evil grin. "Mark and Glenn. On Smackdown. By yourself."
"Oh no," he said. "What have I done? Oh no. C'mon, we've gotta go like, apologize or something. They're gonna kill me!"
"It's too late for that, Codeman!" Randy said with a laugh. "You are just finally going to have to deal with the consequences of your actions!"
"Why don't you bake them cookies or something, Jess?" Cody said glumly. "You were the one with the stink bomb."
"Because I was trying to save your skinny butt! You just HAD to saran wrap him to a bed. Besides, in my experience, cookies only cause problems," I said with a glance at Randy. He laughed.
"You're right. I'd go with brownies."
We somehow survived the show without eating anything, but after that we were ravenous. Randy and John accompanied us to get fast food and pick up some brownie mix as a peace offering. I freaking slaved over them because none of the MEN in the room wanted to help *cough*. And you wanna hear the OTHER messed up part of that fourth night? They made me go by MYSELF, right into the den of lions, to deliver it.
"C'mon, Jess, PLEASE!" Cody said. "I'm scared of them."
"Uh, so am I!" I said. "Ted-"
"Nope. I'm not leaving the safety of this room." I cocked my eyebrow at him.
"You, my friend, are a fair weather brother."
"Yeah, yeah, go deliver peace offerings."
"Randy! John!"
"Sorry kid."
"Have fun, Jess!"
And so, I was sent out into the hallway to go seek out the Brothers of Destruction to try and make amends, more for Cody than for myself, since I wasn't the one who would even have to see them again. But, away I went like the good little Jessie, grumbling to myself about the unfair-ness of the whole situation. But, soon, I was standing in front of Mark and Glenn's door. I took a deep breath and knocked. The door opened, and Mark looked down at me with a smile.
"Why Jess! I assume those are the brownies I requested." I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Requested? Randy said…" The smug grin that spread across his face was all I needed to know. "He was two timin' us, wasn't he?"
"He was lookin' out for y'all. But as long as you're here, come on in, there's somebody I want you to meet." I looked up at him suspiciously.
"I swear, if they set me up to take the fall for them, I will take every last one of you out," I warned.
"Don't worry about it. Glenn and I are already planning on getting him back on Tuesday night. I'm sure he can tell you all about it. But until then, come on in." I looked around, and then stepped into the room. "Gunner!" Still holding my brownies, I tried to figure out who Gunner was. There weren't any wrestlers named Gunner, were there?
"What's up, Dad?" A kid walked out of the room adjacent to the one we were in.
"This is Jess." He looked at me.
"Sup."
"Jess, this is my son, Gunner." I looked this kid over. I got the distinct feeling that Mark was trying to set us up, and quite frankly I wasn't all that impressed. He was ok looking, I guess. Brownish reddish hair, Mark's hazel eyes. He just kinda gave off this air of smugness that rubbed me the wrong way.
"Um, hi." An awkward silence ensued. "So, uh, are we even?" Mark chuckled. "Yeah, I guess so. Glenn, you good?" I looked over, and Glenn had been sitting on the couch the whole time and I never even noticed him.
"With you, I guess. You owe me a favor though. Got it?"
"Yessir. What about Ted and Cody?" Mark and Glenn both laughed.
"Poor Ted never did anything," Mark said.
"But, could you tell Cody that we said something really threatening?" Glenn asked. "I kinda like watching him jump every time we get too close."
"No offence, Mr. Glenn, but I think most normal people jump when you or Mr. Mark get too close." They both laughed. "Look, I'm gonna get back to the guys. We've only got two more days until Cody goes to Smackdown." With a snicker I left the room.
So I slipped some laxatives of my own in the brownies? Who would ever know?
Under strict orders from John and Randy, and lots of assurances from the three of us that we had learned our lessons, the happy fun Legacy all night party bashes stayed WITHIN the hotel room for the next two nights. And then, that was it. The Draft came and went, and Cody, Ted, and I ended up in the same position we had the night we found out he was leaving. Sitting in the hotel room moping about how everything was about to change.
"Halo?" Cody asked half-heartedly.
"Y'know, this is the last time we're gonna get to play together," I pointed out.
"What do you mean?" Cody asked.
"Well, you're going away, and I'm staying here, and I'm never gonna see you again because I'm goin' back home after the summer…" My talking slowed down the more I realized that I was right. I was never going to see Cody again, except for maybe the July Pay-per-view, IF he was in it. "Aww, Cody!" I sobbed.
"I don't wanna play Halo," he mumbled. Ted half-heartedly tossed us both energy drinks, which we caught and drank.
"Feel better yet?" I asked.
"No."
"Aw, c'mon, guys!" Ted said. "We can't just mope all night! Cody's leaving in the morning, we've gotta do something."
"Oh no, Ted. I am NOT leaving this room," Cody said. I laughed a little.
"You wanna hear something funny?" They both looked at me.
"Sure."
"Those brownies I gave to Mark? I spiked them with laxatives." They looked at each other, and then started laughing.
"Seriously?" Cody asked. "I can't believe you got away with that!"
"Yeah, well, look who got the last laugh. You're gonna call and tell us what they do to you, right? Cuz you know they're gonna get you back GOOD."
"Yeah, yeah, I will." He finished off his energy drink. "Hey toss me another one of those, Ted. Let's have a little fun."
AN: NOOO CODY COME BACK!
