Chapter 84: An Angelic Kiss for All Seasons

RAW was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Brittany, along with Buffy and Amanda, were in the Angels' locker room looking at some pictures of her and Jeff's new home in Cameron, North Carolina.

"Oh, my God, that is so beautiful," Buffy said.

"Yeah, I know," Brittany said. "I just couldn't believe it either. We are so happy to be living there and we still got some things to unpack. We even took a trip to Chapel Hill to this place called Fearrington Village and it is the most beautiful community there because Jeff and I are making plans to get married there and have the reception."

"Really?" Amanda said. "I have to see this place; it must look charming."

"Come with me on New Years' Day after the engagement party at our place.:

"Wait, you're having the engagement party on New Years' Eve?" Buffy said.

"Yep."

"Oh, I'm so sorry; I'm spending New Years' Eve in New Jersey so I don't think I'll be able to make it."

"That's okay."

Then Nicole walked inside the locker room with a huge smile on her face.

"Okay, Nicole," Amanda said, "what happened?"

"Nothing," Nicole said. "Just happy that today is my anniversary with John and all of everything."

"You are so much in love with John, aren't you?" Buffy said.

"He's everything to me: sweet, caring, understanding, loving, hot, sexy, he's everything. I just wanna repay him for everything he's done for me but I know I can't."

"John is a very cool guy," Amanda said. "I cant tell you're very lucky and happy to be with him. Hell, if it was Randy Orton, it would hell on Earth."

"I don't wanna think about Randy today, okay? Especially after what he did to Dave last week. Speaking of that, I just talked to Rochelle; she said that she'll be coming tonight to confront Randy."

"I don't blame her," Buffy said. "The whole time I thought Randy Orton was just delusional and psycho because of 'Eddie's Angels'; now we really know the answer: it's Evolution."

"Maybe it is; maybe hurting John starting last year was a way to get back at me without even touching me and then there was Dave getting punt in the head. Now Triple H is next, but when?"

"Only Randy knows," Amanda said.

Then RAW was on and Santino Marella along with Beth Phoenix was kicking off the show with a promo.

"Buenasara," Santino said, "my name is Santino Marella and for the last 12 months, you people have shown me nothing but misrespect; you cheered when I lost my Intercontinental Title and you giggled when I injured his scrotus region; so now it's my turn to have a little bit fun. You see, I have a secret, a secret I want all the children to pay close attention to, a secret regarding……Santa Claus."

"Whoa, whoa, Santino," Beth said, "are you sure you want to do this?"

"Beth, I love you more than anything in the world but right now I kind of need you to shut up in your face! Anyway, the secret is, you see, Santa……"

Then John and Nicole came forward.

"The secret is that you never liked Santa," John said. "Years ago, you asked for that big Barbie dollhouse with the matching the pink Barbie doll Corvette. You never got it, did you?"

"Who told you?" Santino said. "Uh, how dare you!"

"How dare you, sir, how dare you. Everyone knows there are certain things you just don't talk about and Santa Claus is one. Clean it up."

"You know what? You have a big mouth, John Cena, and there is nothing I would like more for Christmas than to shut it."

"Okay."

"So why don't you pick a partner and face Glamarella? You can pick anyone, anyone you like."

Then John looked up and looked off to the side and there stood Goldust. Goldust held up his hand and said,

"Hit me, please!"

"I meant anyone with ovaries, ha," Santino said looking disgusted.

"Rats!"

Goldust walked away and then Nicole came forward and stood next to John as she smiled.

Nicole was wearing a red Santa midriff hoodie top with marabou trim, red shorts with black belt and marabou trim, red arm warmers with maribou trim, and her hair in pigtails.

"So let me get this straight," Nicole said, "you two against me and John Cena? You're on."

Then John and Nicole walked away.

"Oh, and I forgot to mention," Santino said, "when Glamarella wins, I will tell the secret of Santa Claus."

Beth looked at Santino as he tried to keep his composure.

A little later, Madison Spears and Skye were walking down the hallway and as they reached "Eddie's Angels," Madison knocked on the door and a minute later, Ulysses opened the door.

"Hello, come on in," Ulysses said.

"Nice costume, Ulysses," Skye said as she held in her laughter.

Ulysses had on red pants with red suspenders and a Santa hat.

"What's up?" Nicole said.

"Okay, you need to hear this," Madison said, "Shayna said that after Kofi Kingston wins his match against Manu tonight, she was going to kiss him under the mistletoe."

"And Madison and I placed a bet that if she didn't do it," Skye said, "Madison was going to tell C.M. Punk that I have a crush on him."

"That's if Kofi loses his match."

"You're willing to take that risk, Skye?" Nicole said.

"Shayna 'keeps it real' no matter what possible scenario she gets in; not me but I'll take my chance."

"Well, let's see this match and find out what will happen," Buffy said.

Then Buffy turned on the TV and the Angels, Madison, Skye, and Ulysses sat down.

Back at the arena, Kofi's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Shayna following him. Shayna was wearing a red Santa with a black belt and white plush trim around the sleeves, hem, and hood, black boots with faux fur, and her hair curled. Kofi and Shayna clapped their hands as pyro set off and the two walked down the ramp slapping hands of the fans and got into the ring. Then Kofi got on the turnbuckles clapping his hands along with Shayna pumping up the crowd and he got back down and then the Priceless entrance theme played and Cody Rhodes and Manu came out the curtain with Cody Rhodes following him. The two walked down the ramp and Manu got into the ring as he climbed on the turnbuckle and raised his arms in the air. Then he got down as Shayna left the ring and the referee called for the bell.

Kofi and Manu locked up and Kofi twisted Manu's arm as Manu landed a forearm and clubbed Kofi in the back and Manu went for a scoop slam but Kofi countered and Kofi got Manu in a waistlock and shoved him to the ropes but Manu held onto the ropes and Kofi landed a dropkick sending Manu out of the ring. Manu took a breather and got back in the ring and Kofi ducked a clothesline sliding under Manu's legs and Manu landed a clothesline and grabbed Kofi and rammed him to the corner and Manu charged into Kofi's boots to the face and Manu charged again but grabbed Kofi's legs and spun him through the ropes and clubbed Kofi in the back. Manu took Kofi by the hair and dragged him to the middle of the ring and covered for a two count and applied a half nelson hold and slammed Kofi down twice before bouncing off the ropes and landing a flying head butt for a two count.

Manu applied another half nelson hold as Kofi was on his feet and he bounced off the second turnbuckle and landed a jawbreaker and landed a couple of forearms but Manu landed a knee to the midsection before he whipped Kofi to the ropes and Manu charged but Kofi moved and went through the ropes to land a double leg shoot kick and Kofi climbed up the top turnbuckle and landed a cross body. Then Kofi went for a Russian legsweep but Manu went to countered for a clothesline but Kofi ducked and bounced off the ropes to land a flying clothesline and Kofi bounced off to do the boom-boom-boom legdrop dance for a two count and Kofi went to whip Manu but Manu whipping Kofi to the corner and Kofi dove off the second rope for a cross body but Manu caught him and got him on his shoulders but Kofi countered and leveraged him to the mat with a crucifix for the three count.

Then the referee raised Kofi's arm in the air as Cody helped Manu out of the ring and Shayna got in the ring as Kofi climbed the turnbuckle and clapping his hands and got back down as Shayna held up the mistletoe in her hand. Kofi smiled and walked over to Shayna and grabbed her face as he kissed her on the lips and Shayna jumped up and down as Kofi once again clapped his hands in the air.

"Ha-ha!" Skye said back in the Angels' locker room, "it looks like my secret's safe with me. That's my best friend, Shayna!"

"Okay, you win," Madison said.

Later, it was time for the "Race to the Rumble" qualifying match to be in the Fatal Four Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship which was Dave versus Randy Orton.

Randy's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain and he walked down the ramp and got into the ring and they stared at Dave as Randy got on the turnbuckle and stared at the crowd and got back down as the referee came to the ring and talked to Justin Roberts.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Justin announced, 'Batista is unable to appear here tonight; therefore the winner of this match as a result of a forfeit, Randy Orton."

That meant that Randy advanced in the "Race to the Rumble" tournament as the referee raised Randy's arm in the air and Randy asked for the microphone.

"I have had many memorable moments throughout my career," Randy said, "Being the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history, winning of the main event of this year's Wrestlemania, but nothing is as personally satisfying as when I kicked Batista in the skull last week. Four years ago, I won my first World Title in this very arena, in fact, but the next day, Batista, seething with jealousy, hoisting me up on his shoulders in celebration but then dropped me onto my back flat down on the mat and ambushed me. I have been dreaming about kicking Batista in the skull for the last four years. Same dream, every night four straight years, and then last week it finally happened. Christmas came early. So how does it feel, Dave? How does it feel to know that he won't be facing Cena at the Royal Rumble? How does it feel to have your career cut short? Four years ago, I was in Evolution and now you've come full circle, you're right back at the exact same place you started, taking a back seat to me. You did it yourself, Batista, you had your time and your time is over and the next time that you'll see me, I will once again be the World Heavyweight Champion."

Then Rochelle's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain without her crutch and a microphone in her hand.

"So, that's what this is all about, isn't it?" Rochelle said. "This is all about Evolution and not 'Eddie's Angels', right? It's been four years, Randy, don't you think it's about time you that behind you? But I guess you can't, can you? I thought that would be over between you and Dave but after what I saw last week, my dying wish is to hurt you and when I'm 100 percent and ready to get back in the ring, I'll do just that……so will Dave."

"Hey, Rochelle," Randy said, "why don't you send a little message to your best friend Nicole Mitchell because to tell you the truth, she happens to be the one who put together 'Eddie's Angels' and was part of Evolution."

"What exactly do I have to say to her?"

"Tell her happy anniversary and let her know that 'Eddie's Angels will not last long as long as Vickie Guerrero is around."

"You haven't seen anything yet because 'Eddie's Angels' will still be here as long as Vickie Guerrero is her and since you wanna get involved, it'll be the same worst-case scenario for you the past two times: taking a back seat to the Angels just like you said to my husband."

Then Rochelle stared at Randy as he gave a sick smile to her as RAW went to a commercial break.

A little later, it was time for the time for the mixed tag team match which was John and Nicole versus Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix. Santino Marella's entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain with Beth Phoenix following him.

"This is a mixed tag team match scheduled for one fall," Justin Roberts announced. "Introducing first, the team of Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella."

The two walked down the ramp and spotted a woman holding up a Beth Phoenix sign and then Beth walked up the apron, got on the turnbuckle, and flipped into the ring as Santino got into the ring and asked for a microphone.

"I appreciate that so much," Santino said, "but before I get started, I like to draw your attention to a young lady in the audience tonight. I found out her name, Rosa Mendes. There she is." He pointed to Rosa in the crowd holding the Beth Phoenix sign. "And she is the world's biggest Santino Marella fan." Rosa screamed back that she loves Beth. "Yes, Beth is my girlfriend, I think I know, that makes you the world's second Santino Marella fan. Hey, but the second place is not so bad. I mean, you Canadians are second place to the United States pretty much everything. I couldn't care, throw you on the roof. You are behind Italy, that goes without saying. Now then, earlier tonight, I said that after Glamarella beats John Cena and Nicole Mitchell, I was going to reveal a secret regarding Santa Clause; but why wait? Listen up, kids, children of the world, I'm about to tell you something so big, it's going to change your life forever and the secret is……."

Then John's entrance theme played and he came out from the curtain with Nicole following him.

"And their opponents, the team of Nicole Mitchell and the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena," Justin announced.

The two walked down the ramp and got into the ring and John asked for a microphone.

"I did some research and I found out your secret," John said. "It's amazing; honestly, it's amazing because the secret is, Santa Claus tonight is here. That's right, he took time out of his busy schedule to slide down the chimney of the ACC right here in Toronto. Drank some milk, ate some cookies, shook hands with Dolph Ziggler, he bought a front row ticket, he's right there. But before he did all that, he gave me one Christmas wish and it was one I really needed: tonight happens to be my second wedding anniversary to this lady right here. My Christmas wish was to be in a mixed tag team match with Nicole Mitchell against anybody on this very day right here and now that wish has come true."

Then John kissed Nicole on the cheek and Nicole asked John for the microphone.

"Well, I have to say that I'm glad that your Christmas wish has come true," Nicole said, "I happen to have a Christmas wish to everybody here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. When Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix challenged us to a mixed tag team match, I just had up the anty with a special guest referee that Toronto happen to know very well and John, happy anniversary, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

Then Trish Stratus' entrance theme played and she came out from the curtain and she walked down the ramp and Nicole held the ropes for Trish to enter the ring. Trish hugged Nicole and Trish went on each side of the ring and pointed to the fans and Trish shook hands with John as John took off his "HLR Academy t-shirt and threw it the crowd and Nicole & Beth got out of the ring and Trish called for the bell.

John quickly got a side headlock takedown and John got Santino in the corner before a break and Santino got a right hand and John went after Santino quickly got a tag to Beth and Beth wasn't pleased as she got into the ring. John smirked as he walked over to Nicole and got the tag and Nicole walked over to Beth as Beth was talking trash and shoved her and Nicole nailed Beth with a series of hard elbows to the face, then whipped Beth to the ropes and Nicole did an early Matrix ducking a clothesline followed by a Thesz press series of punches on the mat and chops to her chest. Then Beth grabbed Nicole by the throat and lifted her up to throw her in the corner and Beth grabbed Nicole as Santino climbed up the turnbuckle but Nicole nailed a back elbow to Beth and Beth knocked Santino off balance.

After crotching the top turnbuckle, Nicole landed a handstand Frankensteiner and popped up to slap Santino in the face and landed the Cenasphere before Beth took her down by the hair and grabbed her by the hair nailing blows for a two count. Then Beth grabbed Nicole and got a backbreaker and did it again and dragged her by the hair before letting go as she argued with Trish and nailed a big right hand twice to Nicole and went for a wheelbarrow but Nicole countered with a bulldog slam and the two women were down. Nicole crawled over to John and made the tag and he ducked a clothesline from Santino as he bounced off the ropes and he nailed a couple of flying clotheslines before landing a sitout hiptoss and John did the "You can't see me" before he bounced off the ropes and landed the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Then John went for the FU but Beth yanked Santino by his leg out of John's grip and as Beth was arguing with Trish again, Beth went for a right hand but Trish ducked and Beth turned around as Nicole gave Beth the X Factor and John then finished Santino with the FU for the win.

"Here are your winners, Nicole Mitchell and the World Heavyweight Champion John Cena," Justin announced.

Nicole got into the ring and John hugged her as he lifted her and Trish raised their arms in the air and hugged John and Nicole. Then John grabbed Nicole's arm and raised it in the air as he pointed to her and Nicole grabbed John's arm and raised it in the air as she pointed to him. Then John and Nicole shook hands with Trish and climbed on the top turnbuckles and raised their arms in the air as RAW came to a close.

After RAW was over, John and Nicole were going out for their anniversary and John was leading Nicole somewhere and she had a blindfold on.

"Okay, here we go," John said as he held onto Nicole's hand and went to take off her blindfold. "Alright, surprise."

Nicole saw that she and John were at HTO Park Urban Beach and saw that there was a candlelight picnic with a bottle of champagne in a bucket.

"Oh, my God, John," Nicole said, "how did you arrange all of this?"

"I got connections just like you did when you got Trish Stratus to be the guest referee for our mixed tag team match," John said.

"I love you."

Then John and Nicole kissed each other as they sat on the beach chairs under the umbrella and John opened the champagne and poured it in his and Nicole's glasses.

"To our anniversary," John said.

"And also many wonderful things to come," Nicole said.

Then John and Nicole tipped their glasses and took a sip as they enjoyed their candlelight anniversary picnic.
