Chapter 61: Sweetest Sins

Smackdown was in Las Vegas, Nevada also known as "Sin City" and on that night, Brittany was competing in the Dice on a Pole match in order to face Michelle McCool for the Divas Championship and Jeff was facing Vladimir Kozlov.

"Eddie's Angels" were in their locker room with Ulysses near the door in case anyone was to barge in but the door is always locked.

"Okay, Angels," Nicole said, "Cyber Sunday is having a Divas Halloween Costume Contest, so does anybody know what they're gonna wear for that?"

"Well, I thought that this year," Amanda said, "I'm gonna be a witch. I saw this really hot costume at Trashy Lingerie and that's what I'm gonna wear."

"I like to check that out."

"Well, I like Trashy Lingerie as well," Rochelle said, "and I've decided to be a Mafia princess."

"A mafia princess?" Brittany said. "What kind of costume did you find?"

"You just have to wait and see."

"Well, since my husband was part of NASCAR's Fast Cars and Superstars," Nicole said, "I'm gonna be a race car driver and wait until you see my costume."

"I'm guessing it's something John might enjoy," Amanda said.

"You guessed it."

"So, Brittany, what are you gonna be for the costume contest?"

"Okay, I've decided to be Jeff Hardy," Brittany said.

"Jeff Hardy?" Nicole, Rochelle, and Amanda said.

"You are gonna be your boyfriend for Halloween?" Rochelle said.

"Yeah, I can pull it off the hair, the clothes, and maybe the tattoos."

"Oh, this I gotta see," Nicole said.

"Do you girls know what Buffy is gonna be for the costume contest?" Ulysses asked.

"No," Brittany said, "have you asked her?"

"No, I haven't asked her yet."

"I'm sure it's something I think you'll like."

"Yeah."

A few minutes later, Smackdown was on and earlier the Big Show announced that the WWE Universe will decide on the WWE website whether his Cyber Sunday match with the Undertaker will be a Knockout match, and "I Quit" match or a Last Man Standing match. Then he relentlessly demonstrated his ability in each type of match by destroying three local wrestlers.

As the Big Show was leaving the entrance to the arena, several water balloons were thrown at him and the Big Show was wiping his face to see that "Eddie's Angels" had appeared and were laughing.

Then the Big Show chased after them through the arena until he attacked from behind by Ulysses using a steel pipe. Then Ulysses kept beating on the Big Show until he was down and out on the ground and the Angels surrounded him.

"Big Show," Rochelle said, "you can say whatever the hell you want about the Undertaker and to the Undertaker; but the fact is whatever the WWE Universe chooses at Cyber Sunday, you will burn in hell."

Then "Eddie's Angels" and Ulysses walked away leaving the Big Show lying on the ground.

A little later, Ulysses was talking to Buffy outside "Eddie's Angels'" locker room.

"That sounds really nice," Ulysses said. "I can't wait until your costume at Cyber Sunday."

"You'll love it, trust me," Buffy said.

Then Maryse walked towards Buffy and Buffy turned around.

"You know, Buffy," Maryse said, "I have been watching you for quite some time and I think you're going out with Ulysses just so you can join 'Eddie's Angels.'"

"What are you trying to say, Maryse?" Buffy said. "You think I'm trying to sleep my way into 'Eddie's Angels?' Eew, no way, no how. That's something you would do."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. In fact, I know everything about you and 'Eddie's Angels' know, too. I heard you complaining on why you have to take part in the Dice on a Pole match later and that you beat Michelle McCool two weeks ago. That's nothing compared to Michelle beating you twice for the Divas Championship. Now, if you're gonna come up to me and make some kind of stupid remark concerning me, do me a favor: get out of my face."

Then Maryse looked at Buffy and then walked away as Ulysses wrapped his arm around Buffy.

Later, it was time for the Dice on a Pole match in order to face Michelle McCool for the Divas Championship. The competitors were Brittany, Christina Alexis, Jasmine Morgan, and Destiny of the Angelic Coalition, Buffy, Maria, Maryse, Natalya, Victoria, and Brie Bella.

Brittany was wearing a pink leopard print midriff top, black pants with suspenders, black hand see-through warmers, and her hair straight, Buffy was wearing a red sequined bikini top, white pants with slits on the side, and her hair curled, Christina was wearing a yellow and black lace bustier, black pants, black lace warmers, and her hair curled, Destiny was wearing a red romper with a snowflake on it, blue hand warmers, and her hair curled, and Jasmine was wearing a black and pink mesh top with slits on the front, pink mini-miniskirt, black net stockings, black hand warmers, and her hair straight.

Every Diva made their way into the ring and the referee called for the bell.

Maryse immediately ran to the corner but the other Divas caught up to her and pushed away and then Victoria and Natalya shoved Maria and Brie away and Jasmine got a forearm to Victoria as Maryse got one to Brie and Victoria climbed the turnbuckle and the other Divas grabbed onto her as she pushed them off and kicked Christina off. Then some of the Divas were fighting each other as Victoria tried to reach for the dice, Buffy caught her and got a punch to the midsection and got a snapmare as Brie got a clothesline to Destiny and she, Buffy, Maria, and Brittany tried to climb to the turnbuckle as Christina was able to push all four off but Maria got a back elbow as she was climbing the turnbuckle with Christina pulling her off.

Maryse clubbed Christina in the back and pulled her away as Jasmine landed a Thesz press and was punching away as Destiny was climbing the turnbuckle and Brie caught up to her pulling her off and Brittany got a forearm and a kick to the midsection and threw her out of the ring. Then Brittany climbed on the turnbuckle and Victoria & Natalya attempted to pull her off and knock her off the turnbuckle and Maria pulled Victoria face-first on the apron and Natalya was about to climb the turnbuckle until Brie pushed her off and Maryse climbed the turnbuckle but Buffy caught up to her and Maryse landed a back elbow to Maria and the other Divas intervened and battled to climb the corner. Destiny climbed the turnbuckle but Brie pulled her off onto her shoulders and Maryse was clubbing Brie in the head and threw her shoulder-first into the ringpost.

Maryse climbed the turnbuckle and so did Jasmine as she & Maryse traded blows on the rope and Maria yanked Maryse to the mat and Christina grabbed her but Maria was able to kick off Christina in the face and climbed to grab the dice for the win.

Maria smiled as she threw the dice down and bounced on the top rope raising her arm in the air and she got back down and the referee raised her arm in the air as Smackdown went to a commercial break.

A few minutes later, Maria walking down the hallway with the dice when…….

"Hey, Maria," Michelle McCool said as she approached Maria.

"Oh, hey," Maria said.

"Congrats on your big win tonight."

"Thanks, I can't believe I have a chance to be Divas Champion."

"I know and you know what? It's gonna be my honor to defend my championship against you."

"See you later."

"Bye."

Then Michelle pinched Maria's cheek as she walked away and then Maria continued walking as she approached Brittany.

"Hey, Brittany," Maria said.

"Oh, hey, Maria," Brittany said, "congratulations on the match."

"Thank you. I know you're kind of disappointed that you won't be able to compete for the Divas Championship; but if I win the Divas Championship, you're the first person I want to defend it against."

"Thank you, Maria; that's really sweet of you. I saw what Michelle did earlier, so don't let her patronize you. Catch you later."

Then Brittany walked away.

A few minutes later, it was time for the match between Jeff & Vladimir Kozlov and Triple H was sitting at the announcers' table for guest commentary.

Jeff's entrance theme played and he comes out from the curtain with Brittany following him. Jeff did his usual bump and grind with Brittany as the pyro went off and the two walked down the aisle slapping the hands of the fans and got into the ring. Brittany posed with Jeff and he got on the turnbuckles and raised his arms in the air. Then he got back down and Vladimir Kozlov's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring as Brittany quickly left the ring and Vladimir looked at Triple H talking trash and then the referee called for the bell.

Jeff charged at Vladimir but Vladimir kicked him in the chest and then Vladimir ran Jeff to the corner and got a right hand and got a few shoulder locks before Vladimir charged Jeff in the corner and Jeff caught him with a knee and then Jeff got a few right hands and kicked Vladimir in the midsection and he bounced off the ropes and Vladimir shoulder checked Jeff to the mat and looked at Triple H as he grabbed Jeff and on his shoulders and then set him on the top rope and delivered headbutts. Vladimir hit Jeff with a running powerslam and Vladimir threw Jeff shoulder-first into the ringpost twice and then Vladimir dragged Jeff to the middle of the ring and Vladimir settled into a keylock on the mat.

Jeff got to his feet and hit Vladmir on the side and then Vladimir got a one-arm snap mare and applied an armlock and Jeff again got to his feet and Vladimir got a Fireman's Carry slam and applied another key lock hold and then Jeff got to his feet again and got a few head butts to the shoulder and clubbed Vladimir in the back and then Vladimir got Jeff in the full nelson hold and a couple head butts to the chest and landed a belly-to-belly side throw for a two count. Then Vladimir applied a headlock but Jeff quickly got to his feet and hit Vladimir on the side and Vladimir got a knee to the midsection and got Jeff on his shoulder but Jeff escaped and kicked Vladmir in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate but Vladimir shoved Jeff to the ropes and Jeff got a right hand to the head and Jeff bounced off the ropes and went for a clothesline to no avail.

Jeff kicked Vladimir in the midsection and went to whip him but Vladimir reversed and Jeff made a comeback with two forearms and climbed onto the turnbuckle got a Whisper in the Wind and followed with another Whisper followed by a leap off the top rope which Vladimir ducked and Jeff went to kick Vladimir but Vladimir grabbed his leg and Jeff got a spinning mule kick and Vladimir then gave Jeff a battering ram to the chest for a clean three count.

Brittany covered her mouth in shock as she went into the ring to check on Jeff and Vladimir shouted at her as Triple H got up from the announcers' table and Brittany helped Jeff out of the ring as Triple H went into the ring and went face-to-face with Vladimir as Smackdown came to a close.

Then after Smackdown was over, Amanda was in her hotel room as she held onto her cell phone. She was so hesitant to contact her birth parents since her former social worker provided her with the information of their whereabouts. It turned out that her mother divorced her father ten years ago and her mother is living in Tampa, Florida while her father still lives in Cincinnati, Ohio. Then Amanda dialed the number of her mother and after a few rings, she answered the call.

"Hello?" Amanda's mother said but Amanda didn't answer. "Hello?"

Then Amanda quickly ended the call and sighed.

In her mind, did she want to talk to her mother or meet her in person? It was Amanda's decision to make.
