A/N: Here's chapter Three. :] Sorry it's so late; had some computer problems. Thanks for all your reviews, it means so much!

And to Jess: So sorry this is late, my computer blew up and I have to wait a week for my new laptop to come. So I couldn't write this story when I planned to. Luckily it's the start of the weekend and I have my step-dad's computer to update on. Plus, tomorrow is the end of the term and I will have a 2 week holiday, so I can hope to come close to finish a few of my stories. Love you and I hope you enjoy the update. x3 xx

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.

"We're going to ask you one more time and if you do not answer, I swear I will kick you in your 'lucky charms'. You got that?" I warned the little pest as I got right up in his face and Cody held him against the wall, nodding in agreement to me. You could see Hornswoggle was scared and even more terrified when I threatened to kick him where it hurts. He and everyone else in this locker room knew I would do it.

Hornswoggle began speaking jiberish; which apparently was 'leprecon' language. Nor Cody or I knew what the hell he was going on about.

"Listen here you little…whatever you are-"Cody said in disgust as he studied Hornswoggle momentarily before shaking his head and continuing. "Michelle asked you a question, so I suggest you answer it." Cody warned Hornswoggle in a very stern tone, to which I nodded in agreement too, sending an ice cold stare the little moron's way. "Who told you to drench Layla in water?"

Hornswoggle began speaking jiberish again; causing Cody and myself to exchange inpatient eye roll and an aggravated groan. Cody clenched his jaw before curling his fingers into a tight fist. Hornswoggle began to panic before he waved his small, somewhat chubby hands in front of his figure while shaking his head violently. I raised my brow in curiosity. Hornswoggle thought for a moment before he began miming actions. I narrowed my eyes at him before Hornswoggle pretending to eat a burger. He nodded at me which caused me to clench my jaw. Mickie James. Hornswoggle also attempted to imitate Kelly by running his fingers through his hair in a girly way. Cody and I didn't pick up on it until he began imitating Kelly's ring entrance.

"That blonde bitch!" I screeched. "It was Mickie and Kelly, wasn't it?" I questioned Hornswoggle. He nodded before placing his forefinger in front of us and began mimicking Beth Phoenix's ring entrance; raising his hands to the top of his head as if he was actually holding a title belt. "And Beth Phoenix." I say with my jaw clenched. "Come on, let's go." I say to Cody. He hesitated, but eventually released Hornswoggle from his hold and began walking in the same direction as me.

"Did you see Layla?" Mickie asked Tiffany, Beth and Kelly in excitement. Two of the three other divas giggled before nodding their heads. Tiffany was reading this month's issue of WWE Magazine. "Did you see her, Tiff?" Mickie questioned the blonde. Tiffany rolled her eyes before looking up at the diva.

"Yes I did." Tiffany said in an annoyed tone, causing the other three divas to look at each other and shrug their shoulders; unaware of Tiffany's attitude towards them. "Why would you do something so immature?" Tiffany questioned.

"What do you mean?" Kelly asked the other blonde.

"What I meant was why would you sink to such childish levels and get a leprecon to do your dirty work?" Tiffany exclaimed to the three in reply to the dumb blonde.

"Uh, what we did wasn't nearly as childish as some of the things Laycool say and do in the ring." Beth defended in a matter-of-factly tone, causing a loud groan from the newest Smackdown diva.

"You don't get it. Laycool does that for a reason, to mess with your heads. It's a game plan! God, you're all so pathetic." The diva exclaimed as she threw her magazine on the bench and stomped over to the door. This scene caused me to send a grin Cody's way. Cody and I were squatting behind the wall in the showers observing the four. It wasn't spying if it was for a somewhat good reason, right? "When you three grow the fuck up, come see me. Until then, have fun in your own little childish world." Tiffany stated to the trio, before sending them one more pitying glance and stomping out of the locker room.

"Cody, I have an idea." I say to him with a smirk, causing him to cock his eyebrow curiously.

After a busy day of scheming with Layla and Cody, I decided to call it a night. I was leaving Layla's hotel room after saying goodbye to the two WWE employees and was making my way down the hallway before I was stopped. A tight grip grasped my arm, causing me to turn around jumping slightly. I was relieved to see the "Dashing" superstar standing there, grinning at me.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He said in a teasing tone, causing me to roll my eyes.

"Sure you didn't." I replied with a small, soft chuckle. Whenever I was around Cody I felt like I could be Michelle Leigh - All-American girl. Which was a total compliment because I was usually Michelle McCool - bitch.

Cody returned the chuckle. "So I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk?" Cody question with a raise of his brow.

"At this time of night?"

"What? It's a lovely night. Plus, there's Central Park just across the road. It's practically daylight out there." Cody suggested with a small, glance at his watch for a moment. "Even if it is, 2 am in the morning." Cody grinned at me.

I thought about it for a moment before nodding my head softly to his offer. "Sure. Why not?" I said with a small giggle. "But, if we get attacked by Vampires, you're the first one to go." I explained with a smirk as Cody and I made our way towards the elevator.

"You read too much of the twilight saga." Cody said to me with a wink.

I laughed before shaking my head softly. "Actually, no. I watch too much of True Blood." I corrected him with a small smile relaxed on my lips.

Cody and I eventually made it to Central park. We both just walked at a slow pace, talking, laughing, comparing interests etc. Something you would expect in one of those romantic comedies. The night was perfect before Cody asked me one question in-particular.

"So, uh, is it true you and Taker dated?" Cody asked hesitantly, chewing on his bottom lip.

I sighed. I didn't really want to talk about my previous relationships; especially that one. I paused before nodding my head. "You mean Mark?" I asked, referring to the Undertaker. Cody nodded, looking to the ground. "Yeah, it's true." I say as nonchalantly as possible. It wasn't that much of a big deal. I mean, it was what it was. I couldn't hide that; I wasn't ashamed of it. I was ashamed of the fact that people always assumed that was how I made my way to the top. In total honesty, Mark had absolutely nothing to do with it. Not only am I not that kind of person, Mark would never do that. Everything I gained in WWE, I earned through my own blood, sweat and tears.

Cody nodded in a slow action as his eyes remained on the ground; not saying a single word.

"I know what you're thinking." I say with a sigh as my vision moved to the ground also.

Cody looked up at me and raised his brow. "And what is that?"

"That I 'slept' my way to the top. That the women's championships, the divas championship, the opportunities, the wins – they were all thanks to Mark, right?" I say. Cody tried to speak but I instantly interrupted him. "You think that I don't know what the RAW Superstars and divas say about me. They all think that the only reason I am here and that I am this dominant is because of Mark. Plus, I hear the whispers in the Smackdown Locker room. I know that most of the male superstars think I am an unworthy whore." I shrug. I had heard it all; it never seemed to bother me anymore.

"No Michelle. That's not what I was thinking at all!" Cody tried to convince me, but I knew otherwise.

"Don't fucking lie to me, Cody. I see the stares and disgusted looks I get from your friends and the other Superstars." I say trying to hold back tears. I had held it in too long. "I will have you and all your idiot friends know that just because I went out with Mark did NOT mean he ever help me gain anything in the WWE. He didn't even fucking train me. I had to earn everything just like everyone else, if not harder. You think that dating Mark was an advantage? It wasn't. It made things even harder for me to become WWE's Top diva. I have learnt to deal with the shit you and those morons say about me. You know what? I couldn't even careless." I almost shout, causing a few people to stare.

Cody stops me and pulls my body alignment in front of him, placing his hands on my shoulders. "I do not think that Michelle, trust me. The other assholes may believe that by I certainly don't – not for a second. You're one of the most talented divas in history, if anyone doubts that it's because they envy you." Cody explains to me. I look up at him.

"Really?" I question.

"Yes." Cody nods at me with a weak smile.

There was a small, comforting silence between us before I begin laughing softly. "Wow. Sorry I uh, blew up on you." I say as we continued walking.

"It's fine. I can't imagine what it was like for you. I mean, I kind of know how you feel. I get shit all the time about being 2nd generation and everything." Cody explains to me nonchalantly with a shrug of his shoulders.

"That must've been hard." I said with a small frown. "By the way, what did you really want to ask me?"

"Oh before?" Cody questioned. I nodded. "Oh, uh, nothing. Just forget about it." Cody says as he shrugs and shakes his head softly; stuffing his hands in his front pockets.

"No really." I say, stopping him for walking any further. "What did you want to ask me?"

Cody hesitated, before squinting one eye closed as he spoke. "Is it true, that you and Take-, Mark… were engaged?" Cody questioned in a soft tone.
