Switched
Chapter 10
Author's Note: I am sorry for the long update delay! I had so much going on, my nana died and I was busy with work and University. However I am back and I am alright now. So here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it and I think that I only have 3 or 4 more chapters to go until this is finished but I don't know yet…
Anyway, back to the story! Enjoy and drop me a wee comment…
There's always a catch…
The two were silent on the way back to the hotel. They were to busy contemplating what had happened. They kissed! What's more both of them liked it but were too afraid to say anything in case the other felt differently. What confused both of them more than anything was the fact that they hadn't returned to their normal state.
Randy eventually pulled up into the parking lot of the hotel. Trish unfastened her belt and was about to leave when he turned to her.
"Trish we need to talk…" Randy began.
"Look, I'm as confused as you are about all this but I'm not thinking straight at the moment. Can we please meet up for breakfast and talk about this?" Trish asked quietly looking at the man trapped in her body.
Randy nodded; he watched her leave and let out a frustrated groan. What the hell was wrong with him? Had he really hoped Trish would jump on him and kiss him again once they got here? One thing he was sure he needed was a nice cold beer and not one of the light variety…
"What is wrong with you?" "Get a hold of yourself Trish!" "I kissed him but he kissed back so he must like me! Oh why the hell did I have to tell him "I'll speak to you in the morning?" Trish asked herself aloud as she paced the room. She changed into Randy's usual bedroom attire and couldn't help her womanish antics of pacing about the room bitiching to herself about her actions.
"And they tell me that I'm the one with the mental problems…" A voice called out and Trish spun round in fright.
"Ariel! How long have been here?" Trish asked clutching her chest and narrowing her eyes at the woman who smiled at her.
"Long enough to know that you have feelings for a certain Champion." Ariel sweetly pointed out as Trish wandered over to the bed and sat on the edge of it, holding her head in her hands.
"What am I gonna do? What if he doesn't feel the same way about me?" Trish whined not looking up from the floor.
Ariel tenderly approached the lovelorn woman (trapped in a mans body) and sat beside her. Hesitantly she raised her hand and patted Trish on the back. The friendly gesture startled Trish who looked up at the woman who smiled sympathetically back at her.
"You'll never know how Randy feels…till you tell him how you feel." Ariel softly replied causing Trish to smile slightly.
"I know but…" Trish began then stopped, looking glum.
"But?" Ariel asked frowning.
"If he doesn't feel the same I'll be crushed." Trish admitted glumly.
"What happened tonight shocked the both of you…not to mention me…damn! I owe him 50 (Trish stared at Ariel who blushed and quickly changed the subject)…It is possible that the whole Morrison thing gave you a push in the right direction." Ariel started and when she mentioned John Trish's eyes widened.
"You know about that?" She interrupted stunned.
"Yeah…that was some punch you gave him! He's such a creep!" Ariel replied and shuddered slightly.
"Yeah…he's so full of himself…wait! Me and Randy kissed! Surely that means we can reverse the spell!" Trish said and got excited at the fact that she may well have found a way to break the spell.
Ariel turned away from Trish's gaze and stood up.
"Ariel? Ariel what's wrong? Is there something you're keeping from me?" Trish asked an edge of suspicion in her voice.
Ariel closed her eyes and took a deep breath before facing Trish again.
"Now don't get mad…as much as it thrills me to see you and Randy getting along…"
"Cut to the point Sabrina." Trish said bluntly folding her arms.
"I can't change you back…at least not yet." Ariel answered in a small voice.
Trish took a deep breath to stop herself from physically attacking the woman who looked more interested in the floor than her. I will not hurt her. I will not hurt her. She repeated as she got up and walked over Ariel.
"Why can't we switch back right now?" Trish asked in what she hoped was a calm tone.
Ariel sighed and re-directed her gaze to Trish who looked pissed.
"Um it's sorta something to do with the rules of witchcraft and wizardry." Ariel said nervously.
"You're bullshiting me, right?" Trish snorted and when she shook her head. Trish's anger got the better of her.
"I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT! YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY WATCHING US SUFFER DON'T YOU? TO THINK I WAS BEGINNING TO LIKE YOU…"
"I DON'T MAKE THE RULES I JUST FOLLOW THEM!" Ariel yelled back at her. Both women started at each other, taking the time to calm down.
"I'm sorry, alright? I know this is hard for you but if you and Randy keep this up until SummerSlam then you'll go back to normal." Ariel told her seriously.
"I know that! But you did say we had to 'get along'…" Trish reminded her, folding her arms.
"I know." The witch sighed and stared at the woman standing in front of her. "I'm sorry, I really am and hey you only have 2 weeks to go. I know you guys can do it…did you really mean it when you said you liked me?" Ariel told her and ended her speech in a hopeful tone.
Trish took a moment to look at the woman who was the complete opposite of her…her gothic dress sense and make up was something she would usually mock along with Kelly and Maria and looking back on her actions she felt guilty. Ariel wasn't that bad…just lonely (Trish thought staring at her) she didn't have many friends in the business, in fact Trish wasn't sure she had seen her with anyone…
"I did…although this is annoying the hell out of me and Randy, you are a nice person and I can understand why you did this." Trish admitted truthly, causing the other woman to also stand up wide eyed in shock.
"You do?" Was all Ariel could say.
"Mmmhmm and I want to thank you for all this..." Ariel was about to speak but Trish held up her hand to stop her. "if you hadn't of done this, I would never have realised that Randy was a great, decent, funny guy and that I actually enjoy spending time with him, even it means I'm not in my own body." Trish said smiling and for the first time in her life Ariel squealed like a teenage girl and pulled Trish towards her in a tight hug.
Trish was stunned for a moment and hugged the other Diva back.
"Thank you…you have no idea what this means to me…I-I don't have many friends in the WWE." Ariel whispered to Trish as they hugged.
"It's nothing…but I think if stand like this for any longer…it might look wrong to someone who came in…" Trish told her as she realised she forgot to lock the door.
"Oh! Sorry!" Ariel said jumping back and grinning sheepishly.
Trish yawned, the events of the day catching up with her.
"I better go…let you sleep. Goodnight Trish." Ariel said making her way towards the door.
"Wait? You're not going to fly, disappear or ride off on a broom?" Trish asked sarcastically as she watched her new found magical friend open the door to the hallway.
"Nah. Albus will go berserk if I will, he dislikes it when we witches and wizards 'overuse' our powers." Ariel confessed with a small smile.
Trish nodded and was about to let her go…
"Wait! Did you say Albus as in Dumbledore?" Trish asked her eyes widened in disbelief.
She can't be serious. He isn't real! Trish thought as she pulled back the covers; not taking her eyes of the woman who chuckled as she stepped out into the hallway.
"Oh Trish! You honestly didn't believe that J.K. Rowling made him up did you?" Ariel said as she laughed and the door magically closed behind her.
Trish laughed in amazement as she climbed under the covers. She turned and sighed as she remembered the night she shared a bed with him. Smiling as she thought back to their kiss she drifted into a dream filled sleep…
Ariel pulled out the gold pocket watch she kept in her pocket. It was just after 1am and she wondered if Randy would still be up.
Ah what the hell it never stopped me before…Ariel said to herself as she raised her fingers in the air, she was about to disapparate when a flash of lighting and thunder made her lower her hand.
"Alright, Alright! I'll take the stairs…You'll get your stupid money…honestly I'm supposed to be a witch…you think he'd let me fly but oh no!" Ariel grumbled as she was forced to take the stairs like a common…muggle.
A/N – So! What will Randy say to Ariel? I would like to point out that I do not own the character of Albus Dumbledore or any Harry Potter related content. I am simply borrowing it for this story…which! I must point out I am not writing to make money…I am writing it for my own enjoyment.
As always, review please! The next chapter will be up soon and this story will almost be finished :(
