A/N A scheme that could ruin everything and a war on the horizon.

"How are we getting Daniel to be champ?" Kaylee asked storming into her aunts office. She was determined to get that belt away from Randy at whatever cost.

"Well I haven't really thought about it yet, in fact I'm kind of warming up to Randy as the champ. He does such a phenomenal job." Steph said and Kaylee threw her arms up in the air in frustration.

"I don't understand you guys at all! One moment you want to make Daniel champ and get things back on track, now it's stay with Randy. God uncle Paul's indecision must have rubbed off on you." She said only to receive a scolding look from her aunt.

"What has gotten into you lately?" She asked looking at her with her brows furrowed together.

"Spite, crushed feelings, a sense of hopelessness and a whole lot of angst. As far as I'm concerned Randy doesn't deserve shit!" she yelled and watched as Stephanie straightened out her suit.

"You're letting your personal feelings get mixed in with work and that is not acceptable." Steph said in her business voice. She was still her boss after all.

"Oh really? Then why haven't you bitched out uncle Paul yet for letting his personal feelings get involved in pretty much everything!" She yelled as her eyes blazed with frustration and anger.

"Is now a bad time? I can come back later." Big show said from the doorway having accidentally walked in on the arguing pair.

"No Show, Kaylee was just leaving." Steph said stressing the word for the short tempered girl to get the hint. This time, to Steph's surprise, Kaylee straightened out her own outfit and addressed her in the same business like manner that sounded foreign coming out of her mouth.

"We'll continue this discussion later on as I have other affairs to deal with." She said turning on her heel and nodding at Show. "Oh, and Randy won't be champion for long." She said in a threatening voice as she stopped in the doorway to look back at her aunt with a scheming grin before going to find the official refereeing the WWE title match at Night of Champions.

"I just don't trust her Daniel." Brie said crossing her arms as she looked at her boyfriend who shook his head.

"2 weeks ago you were talking about how great she was and that becoming her friend would be a real career booster." He said as he recalled the conversation they'd had concerning the young girl.

"Yeah well now I'm seeing flaws in her character that I don't like at all. She's violent, hot headed and just plain old mean! She slapped me!" Brie yelled trying to get Daniel on her side.

"Brie you were going to slap her first and from what I heard you did earlier in the night after getting into a yelling match with her. I don't tell you who you can and can't be friends with so I expect the same respect from you." He said getting the 'I can't believe you just said that' look and pose from her.

"No. This is one girl I am dead set on keeping away from me and everything or anyone that had to do with me." She said in a possessive voice making Daniel roll his eyes.

"We're in a storyline together and she's kind of like our boss so don't count on it." He snapped back at her only to hear her huff before walking off in one of her moods. He was about to turn and walk in the other direction when he bumped into Randy who glowered down at him.

"Stay away form Kaylee." He said in a dangerous tone only for Daniel to smile up at him unaffected by his intimidation.

"You are the last person on the face of the planet I'll ever take orders from. You're threats don't work on me Orton considering she's on my side now." He said rubbing it in.

"You're lucky to still even be standing here breathing for what you did with Brie. Kaylee on the other hand is a completely different story and I won't hesitate to tear your head clean off your neck." He said lowering himself into the other mans face.

"Is there a problem gentlemen?" Kaylee asked walking into the scene in front of her and they took one last moment to glare before Randy stepped back, looked at her quickly with that same menacing look, and walking off. "If he's giving you trouble I can go kick him in the shins." Kaylee offered turning her attention back to Daniel as she walked up to him.

"No thanks I can take him on my own." Daniel chuckled at her offer knowing full well she would.

"Anyway I just wanted to make sure of something, you want to be the WWE Champion right?" She asked and watched as he nodded.

"Of course I wanna be Champ, that means I'm at the top of my game and best this business has to offer until someone comes along and beats me." He said.

"Don't get cocky Daniel, you're only the best if you're me." Phil said with a chuckle that startled Kaylee and made her jump and turn as he walked up with AJ.

"Where do you even come from? I never see you and suddenly you just appear out of now where." Kaylee said looking at him like a cat ready to fight.

"I am everywhere and I just so happened to see you and wanted to come and see what you're up too." He said crossing his arms and looking down at her like a big brother knowing his little sister was up to something.

"You make it sound as though I'm up to no good." She said with a smirk.

"I know you're up to no good, it's written all over your face and in those pretty green eyes of yours." He said smiling.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I have lives to ruin and vengeance to dish out, ta ta." She said as she walked away with her head held high and once she was gone Phil turned his eyes on Daniel. He wasn't exactly enemies with him in any sense but he did have a dislike of him for what he did to Randy knowing full well of the relationship going on between him and Brie and now Kaylee.

"Humour me for a second. Do you have a death wish or are you bound bent and determined to ruin Randy's life? Because if it's the first one it'll be coming sooner than you think, if it's the second one you're going to have to go through me and Jon and Colby and Joe and the rest of his friends because we aren't going to stand for it." Phil said through clenched teeth as the venom dripped on every word that slid off his tongue.

"Woah, what are you talking about? Me and Kaylee are strictly friends only. I'm about to be engaged." He said taking a defensive stance.

"Good and you better keep it that way. And just so you know Kaylee is the little sister I never had and if that bitch of yours touches her again, even though I know she can fight back a little, AJ here is going to destroy her in the ring." Phil said in a threatening manner.

"Phil you and I have never had a problem until now and if you keep talking about my girlfriend that way I'm going to destroy you." Daniel said taking a step closer to Phil only for the straight edge superstar to crack a smile.

"Can't destroy someone if you're knocked out cold. Carefully Daniel, soon it might be time for you to go to sleep." Phil said going chest to chest with him.

"Guys now isn't the time or place. If you wanna fight take it to the ring." AJ said wedging her arms between them and pushing them apart.

"Watch your step Daniel." Phil said as he walked backwards for a moment before turning as AJ took his arm and pulled him in the opposite direction.

"Alright so you know know what to do?" Kaylee asked the official that would be in charge of the match just to be sure they were on the same page.

"If that's what Paul wants then I can't argue with that, though he usually comes and speaks directly to me about anything concerning a match." He said making Kaylee shiver thinking he was onto her plan and that he would go and tell her uncle and then she'd be in real deep shit even though once the plan was gone through with she'd still be in deep shit but at least Randy would no longer hold the title.

"He was extremely busy and wanted me to relay the message for him." She said hoping he wouldn't see her sweating in hopes he would bite at the bait. Lying was not her strong suit.

"Well thank you miss Levesque." He said and she sighed internally with relief as he held out his hand and they shook on it.

"Pleasure doing business with you." She said with a smile.

"If you don't mind me saying you remind me so much of your aunt. She was always such a natural at this and you definitely have that going for you." He said and she kept forcing the smile as she thanked him before turning away and scowling at being compared Stephanie.

"I am nothing like her." She muttered under her breath only to look down at her suit style outfit and realize why he said what he did. Clearly her aunt was rubbing off on her without her even realizing it."God dammit."

"So how is she doing?" Randy asked when Phil walked into the locker room as all the superstars were preparing for the evenings matches.

"As bitter as ever and up to something." Phil said making Randy's eyes shoot up form tying his laces.

"Like what?" He asked and Phil shrugged.

"I have no idea but if I were you I'd watch my back, whatever it is can't be good because she said she was out to ruin lives and dish out vengeance and that can only mean you." Phil said grabbing his wrestling trunks.

"She acts like it's my fault when it's not, if anybody, she should be going after Paul." Randy said rolling his eyes and sighing.

"Well whatever went down she's pining all the blame on you and honestly I would too. Her uncle is an even bigger ass then you and would probably end up locking her up in a dungeon for the rest of her life if she even raised a finger against him even though she's already tried." Phil said pulling his clothes off and changing.

"Are you saying I'm an easy target?" Randy asked glaring up at him.

"Well not an easy one but the safer one. If you don't want to be the target then man up and take charge. She listened to you before when you were a hard ass." Phil said but Randy knew that he could never do it unless she did something like Brie. Phil noticed the conflicted look on his friends face and placed his hand on his shoulder. "I know you have a soft spot for her and it's tough but when push comes to shove you gotta do what you gotta do." Phil said as Randy clasped his hands together in front of his face.

"I can't hurt her Phil, I just can't." He said looking up at him in distress.

"You kind of already did." Phil said in a softer voice and, as though the sentence had wheels, Randy felt like he'd just been run over by a truck.
