'Got Dynamite'

"Mickie, wake up!"

Barbie walked over to her friend's bed and shook her lightly, but not too hard, knowing that Mickie would punch her lights out otherwise.

"Come on, Micks; please open your eyes at least." Barbie shook her again, to which the brunette stifled a yawn and squinted at Barbie.

"What the hell are you doing?" Mickie mumbled.

"I just got a call from Vince McMahon." Mickie was the kind of girl who could sleep through an earthquake.

"Himself?" Mickie shot bolt upright.

A call from the boss was never good.

"What did he say?" She continued.

"He wants us to go to his office as soon as possible." Barbie was already up and dressed.

"Give me a minute." Mickie groaned, stumbling out of bed and straight into the shower. "I hate bosses."

As Mickie and Barbie arrived in Vince's Stamford office half an hour later (record time, Barbie thought to herself), they noticed two familiar faces in the waiting room.

"Baby, what're you doing here?" Barbie asked, as Cody and Ted sat in the waiting room armchairs, reading the latest copy of WWE magazine.

"Vince called us here." Ted spoke for his friend.

"Us too." Mickie said, nabbing the magazine off of Cody and checking out her latest spread. "Damn, I look pretty good, if I may say so myself."

"I thought so too." Ted winked at Mickie, however just she smacked him round the head in response, Vince McMahon opened up his office door.

"Sorry to call you four in so early on your morning off." Vince began, as the four superstars sat in front of him.

Barbie, Mickie, Cody and Ted all mumbled their polite 'It's okay' or 'No worries', despite the fact they were extremely pissed off.

"As you know, in the next couple of months, we have a UK tour coming up, and there's a lot of hype about that going on over there." Vince said.

"I'm totally excited about it. I love it in England." Mickie replied, enthusiastically.

"Good beer." Ted added, thoughtfully.

"What we're looking for is a couple of representatives - preferably two superstars and two divas - to basically spend about two weeks over there, interacting with the fans and doing some TV and radio gigs." Vince continued.

Two divas? Check. Two superstars? Check.

"And we picked the four of you to be our representatives." Vince concluded obviously. "Are you in?"

The four of them nodded.

"Great. Mickie and Barbie, it's okay for you to miss a couple of Raw's, what with the Beth/Gail/Maryse storyline at the moment, however with Ted and Cody, it's a little more awkward." Vince said gently. "You're going to get demolished by DX tonight on Raw."

"Great." Ted said sarcastically.

"But then you'll come back in a couple of weeks and do the same." Vince shrugged. "So it all works out for everyone."

"So, England with Cody... That's pretty romantic." Mickie changed the subject. The two girls were back in their hotel room, packing their suitcases, ready for an early flight the next morning.

"Yeah, I guess so." Barbie smiled coyly.

"What's that smile for?"

"Well, it's hardly a romantic trip, is it? It's a business trip, and you and Cody are going to be there too." Barbie paused. "Not exactly Paris in the springtime."

Though in Mickie's mind, she couldn't help but think that Barbie didn't mind having Ted around.

The tension between the pair was undeniable, and a trip to London only spelt out more trouble.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Barbie muttered, signalling in Rachel's direction, as the foursome made their way into the airport, with Rachel following them for some weird reason.

"I guess she's saying goodbye to Ted." Mickie rolled her eyes. "Couples in love are disgusting."

Barbie had to stifle a giggle.

"I'm gonna miss you, baby." Rachel wrapped her arms around Ted's neck and kissed him.

"I'm gonna miss you, baby." Mickie imitated quietly, making kissy faces at Barbie.

"Ssh!" Barbie shushed her friend.

Sure, she was pissed off with Rachel, but the last thing she needed was more enemies.

"How long until our flight?" She asked, as Cody arrived with their tickets.

"Twenty minutes or so." Cody checked his watch.

"I'd better go to the bathroom now, then." Barbie said. "Micks, do you wanna come?"

"What is it about chicks going into bathrooms in pairs?" Ted tore himself away from Rachel and looked over at Mickie and Barbie.

"It's pretty much an unwritten code." Mickie filled in. "But I said I'd ring my mom before I boarded, I'm gonna do that now."

"How cute." Barbie cooed. "I'm sure I could pee alone this once."

"I'll come with you, B." Rachel piped up. "You never know what can happen in the bathroom."

- - -

"You must be excited about England." Rachel said, as Barbie fixed her make-up in the mirror.

"I've been over there a couple of times, I love it." Barbie replied, slicking on her lip gloss. "I'm sorry Ted's going, I'm sure you're gonna miss him."

"Yeah, but I'm sure he'll come back in one piece." Rachel laughed. "If he doesn't, I'm blaming you, Miss Blank!"

"I'll do my best to keep him in check!" Barbie held up her hands. "I'm gonna go pee before my flight."

"Alright."

Barbie walked into one of the cubicles, and sat down on the seat. As she looked down she could see Rachel's heels through the gap between the ground and the door.

"Barbie?"

"Yeah?"

"Stay away from my Ted." Rachel said from the other side of the door. Their friendly banter had suddenly turned sour.

"What did you just say?" Barbie didn't move. She was frozen in shock, and completely forgot about peeing.

"Keep your filthy paws off my boyfriend." She continued. "If you even try and get your licks into him on this trip, you'll be dead before you can try and work your way out of it."

"You're crazy, Rachel." Barbie opened up the cubicle door and stormed out before Rachel could say anything else.

"And you had your chance, but you wasted it."

Barbie was shocked.

"Didn't realise I knew?" Rachel said with mock surprise. "Shame."

"I'm not going to get into some petty bathroom fight with you." Barbie said. "But I am going to say that I'm onto you, Rachel. I know girls like you, and you're not going to get away with whatever your plan is."

"Watch me." Rachel began walking out of the bathroom. "By the way, have fun in England!"
