Another day, another live show tonight. This time we're going to Birmingham, England. For once Alex has a match tonight and he's opening the show. Not to mention I also have a match, against Natalya which should be fun. I haven't really went one on one with her, so tonight I'll be able to. Got a few things to do today before the show. Going to the gym and then of course fitting in some dance practice. I wake up to the sky looking cloudy and grey, bleh this weather is depressing. I grab my computer and log on, going online to check my things like facebook and twitter and all that, updating my statuses on both. I update them saying 'Waiting for Alex to get up. Gym for workout for the show tonight, and then dancing practice'.
After playing around on facebook and such, I turn the computer off and put it away. And just in time, because Alex started moving around. I look over and he's stretching and he opens his eyes.
"Morning." I say.
"How long have you been up?" He asks tiredly.
"Oh just for a good 15 minutes. I was waiting for you to get up. I was thinking we could grab a quick breakfast and then head to the gym, then some dancing practice before we head to the arena for the show."
"Sounds good. Just one thing, wait for me to wake up completely." He jokes.
"Haha, you do that. I'm going to get changed for the gym and everything." I say getting up and grabbing clothes to change into for the gym and dancing practice.
I head into the bathroom and change into a tank top with a blue hoodie and matching blue sweatpants and sneakers and tie my hair up. I walk out of the bathroom and Alex is still laying in bed. I laugh slightly and shake my head, then walk over and jump on the bed.
"Rise and shine!" I say laughing and he just groans.
"Now look who's the lazy one." I add, he sticks his tongue out at me.
"Get up." I tell him, he sighs and gets up going to change.
"I know, you're tired. But we have things to do today remember? The gym and more dance practice." I say, as he comes out of the bathroom from changing.
"Right."
"And don't worry about Mike and Aly. I'd let them sleep in. That gives us more alone time anyway." I suggest, he grins and agrees.
"Plus, if it's just you and me, then you could probably focus more on the dancing practice."
"Yeah, less distractions." He says.
"And if you're wondering where I got this burst of energy, I can't answer that. I don't know where it came from."
"Thanks for sharing." He chuckles.
"Well we should get going if we want to get all this stuff done before tonight."
"Let's hit the road then." He comments.
"I call driving, haha."
"I don't mind." He laugh.
"Just one thing before we go, got to leave Aly a text telling here where we're going to be, so she doesn't freak out or anything." I say, taking out my phone and leaving her a text telling her where we'll be all day.
"Exactly, that would be bad. Even though we are with each other so we would be safe."
He nods as we both grab what we'll need and head down to the car. First we head to get something to eat real quick, then head to the gym. Meanwhile Aly's already awake and jumping on the bed after getting changed, trying to wake Mike up. She stops and leans over, kissing him to try to get him up. It takes him a while to actually respond to it, but when he does he grabs her and pulls her into him and then she pulls away, giggling.
"Morning lazy bones." She teases.
"Now, that's how I should wake up everyday." He says smirking, and opening his eyes.
"You wish." She laughs.
"Yes, I do."
"You would." She says amusedly.
"Now come on, it's time to get up."
"I don't want to."
"I think that if you want anymore kisses today then you should get up." She comments,
tapping his nose.
"I'm up!" He says, sitting up immediately.
"I figured you'd see it my way." She giggles as he goes and gets dressed.
He comes out wearing the normal t-shirt and jeans and shoes.
"So what's the plan for today?" She asks him.
"Well I figure that you want to get some dancing practice in, but maybe we can go to the mall or something afterwards." He says.
"Sure, and then we should make it back just in time to get ready for the show."
He nods and they leave for the dance studios nearby. They walk inside and try to find one that's not being used, that's when they open the door of one and find Alex and I practicing.
"See? That is how you're supposed to dance." She points out to Mike, smacking his chest.
"I can do that."
She waves at me and then closes the door, heading to the next one and finding it empy.
"You say you can dance like that huh? Well prove it Wonder Boy." She challenges as they go inside, Mike closing the door behind them.
"You're on." He jokes.
They start dancing and he actually dances like he's supposed to.
"There, I proved it." He says, after they finish the dance.
"You did." She laughs and then kisses him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Of course the pointer from Carly yesterday, I had it in mind. I channeled the dorky side I used in the dance I did on ECW we watched yesterday."
"Good to know." Aly laughs.
"We're so going to beat Smackdown."
"Definately. They're going to look so stupid." She grins.
"Especially with the trainwreck of teams they have." He says, she snickers and agrees.
"So you want to practice one more time or just head to the mall now?" He asks.
"One more time sounds good. Just to make sure you have it down."
"Alright." He says, and they go through it again and he does it the right way again.
"Good job." She smiles and kisses him.
"Thank you. Now off to the mall we go."
"You know, we need to plan more things for couples time." She says as she and Mike walk into the mall, hands linked together.
"I know. Hard to do that with how busy we are lately."
"It'll be easier to do once we get back to the states." She comments.
"I can't wait. I mean I like it here in England but I miss the states."
"Me too." She agrees.
They walk into one of the stores and just browse around. That's when Mike finds something that sparks his interest. He motions for the worker to take the rings out of the case as he grabs Aly and pulls her over.
"Look what I found." He says, taking the rings from the worker and showing her.
"Oh, those are so cool!" She says excitedly, picking up the Sally ring.
"Look at what they say."
"Awwww." She smiles.
"We're simply meant to be." She sings lightly like from the movie.
They walk over to the register and pay for them, then walk out. That's when she spots a pet store.
"We got to go in here." She says, pulling on his arm.
"I do love animals, so we will go in there."
"Yay." She giggles.
They walk into the store and see the puppies jumping around in their little pens, acting so cute.
"Awwwww..." She coos, looking at them all.
"They're so cute!" She exclaims.
"I'd love to get a pet sometime." Mike says as he looks over her shoulder.
"The only problem is this traveling with WWE. There'd be no one to take care of it." He adds.
"You know, my neighbor said she'd watch my pets if I got any." She says.
"Really?"
"Mmhmm, she already keeps an eye on my place for me while I'm gone." She adds.
"Well getting a pet is something to think about then."
"I think a puppy would be good."
"Agreed. Maybe when we get back in the states."
"Right." She smiles and kisses his cheek.
"No funky names though." She adds, pointing at him.
"What makes you think I'd give it a funky name?" He jokes.
"Because you're you." She laughs.
"Haha. What you think I'd name it Mr. Awesome or something?"
"Yes you would."
"Well that's only because the little guy would be just as awesome as I am." He says, she shakes her head and laughs.
"Who said it was going to be a boy?"
"Well then if it isn't a boy a boy, then we'd name her after you."
"We'll see." She smiles.
He looks at his watch and sees that if they head back to the hotel now, they'd have just enough time to get ready for the show.
"If we leave now, we'd have enough time to get ready for the show."
"Right let's go."
They leave the pet store and head back to the hotel and up to their room, where they both get ready for the show. After they're ready, Aly checks on in me and Alex's room to see if we're back yet. And indeed we are, me just coming out of the bathroom from changing.
"Hey, all ready?" She asks.
"Yep." I say, grabbing my bag with my ring gear in it.
We all head out to the car and then to the arena. After waiting around for a bit, Alex went to get ready for his match which was opening the show.
"For once he gets to open a show, and finally he's in his own match." I state.
"Very cool." Aly comments.
He comes back in, all set for the match.
"Looking good." I tease.
"You would think so." He laughs.
"Yes I would."
Aly just laughs. As usual the person knocks on the door and tell Alex that it's time to start heading out there.
"We'll be back." Alex says to Mike and Aly.
"Yep, we'll tell you what happened since none of this is televised like in the states." I say, getting up.
"Right. Have fun."
"Oh I'm sure I will." I laugh, as we head out the door and to the curtain waiting for music to play.
It plays and we go out and he does his pose on the 're announced, and after the pose I grab a hold of his arm and we walk down to the ramp. He lets me go to walk up the steps as he gets into the ring, then he holds them for me to get in. He poses one more time before we wait for his opponent to come out.
"You got music now."
"I do." He agrees, smirking.
"It's good, for generic rock music."
He rolls his eyes but laughs. Then Truth's music starts playing and he walks out.
"Him? Really?"
"Great." Alex rolls his eyes again.
"You're tougher than him. You can do this."
Alex nods and kisses me before giving me his vest as Truth finally gets to the ring. When he gets into the ring and his music stops that's when I climb out and watch from ringside as the match goes on. It ended up being a short match with Truth picking up the win with his finisher the Lie Detector.
"I'm okay." Alex says when I get into the ring to check on him.
"Not how I wanted the match to go, but you did your best."
"Not how I wanted it to go either." He sighs as we both get out of the ring and head backstage.
"I'm guessing the match didn't go so well." Aly says as Alex and I walk back into the room.
"Not exactly." I reply as Alex goes to change.
"His opponent was Truth, and Truth won with the Lie Detector."
"That sucks."
"But hey, Alex has his own entrance music now."
"Oh really?" Aly laughs.
"Yeah. It's good, for generic rock music." I say, Mike snickers.
Alex comes back wearing the Team Raw shirt, still in his ring gear.
"That's all you changed into?"
He shrugs and sits on the couch by me. It's a while before the person knocks on the door again, telling me that I should get ready for my match against Natalya coming up soon.
"You want us to come out too, or just DC?" Aly asks me after I've changed.
"Uh, just Alex. We're all going to be out there for Mike's match against John again anyway."
"Alright." She shrugs, laying back against Mike.
We head out and wait by the curtain for my music.
"Have I told you how much I love the jacket that goes with your ring gear?" Alex asks smiling.
"Yes you have but thanks for sharing." I laugh.
"But let me guess, it's because it says Varsity Villianess on the back." I add.
"Maaaybe." Alex grins.
"That's so the reason why." I shake my head and laugh.
He laughs as my music starts to play and he follows me out. We go down to the ring, and I do the entrance to the ring move, pose a few times and we wait for Natalya to come out. She comes out and I take off my jacket, giving it to Alex and kissing him before he gets out of the ring. Natalya and I shake hands when she gets into the ring. The match lasted pretty long. She got me in the sharpshooter once, and I was close to grabbing the ropes, trying to stretch my arm for them.
"Come on, reach for the rope." Alex encourages me.
I stretch further and finally manage to grab the rope. The ref gets her to let go, and I roll out of the ring to regain my strength.
"You can do this." Alex says to me.
"I don't know if I can take another sharpshooter, the first one hurt."
"Just try your best." He replies, looking concerned.
I nod, gaining some strength back, and climbing back into the ring. I started gaining control of the match, but that didn't last long. She got me a few times and then got me down in the middle of the ring, in another sharpshooter. I moved my arms around for any reach of the ropes, trying to last in the sharpshooter as long as I could. But I was feeling the pain coming back. Alex keeps trying to encourage me. I was reaching out, trying to reach the ropes but it was no use. I was too far away from each side. The pain became unbearable, so I had to tap. She immediately lets me out and then helps me up, smiling.
"Good match." I say, shaking her hand with one hand and holding my lower back with the other.
"You too. You lasted longer in the sharpshooter than I thought you would." She replies, shaking my hand.
"I'm a tough person." I laugh.
She laughs and nods. She hugs me carefully because of where I was hurting, and then climbs out of the ring and starts leaving.
"You going to be alright?" Alex says as he moves to help me out of the ring.
"Yeah, nothing ice can't fix." I say, wincing.
"If you're sure..." He frowns, helping me backstage.
Aly frowns as I come into the room.
"I can probably help bring the pain down." She offers.
"All I need is ice. But thanks for the offer." I wince, sitting down on the couch.
"If you say so." She shrugs, as Alex brings me the ice bag.
"Thank you." I say grabbing it from him and laying back on it, my head resting on the arm of the couch.
He nods and sits by me, draping my legs across his lap. I close my eyes, letting the coldness of the ice soothe the pain. We all sit and relax until the person comes to tell Mike to get ready for his match. He gets up and goes to get ready.
"I should get changed back into my clothes now." I say leaning up a bit.
Mike comes out and I go in, quickly changing back into my street clothes.
"Are you sure you're feeling alright to go out there?" Alex asks, as I walk back out after changing.
"I'm feeling much better, I promise." I smile at him.
"That's good to hear, I was worried." He says, as we all head out of the room and to the curtain and wait.
"Aw." I giggle and squeeze him after putting my arm around his waist and his arm goes around my shoulders.
Mike's music plays and we do the usual routine of walking out, down the little ramp and into the ring. Aly's sitting on the ring post again as always and I'm standing by the ropes with Alex as Mike looks around at the crowd. Then he motions Alex to come over.
"Aw here we go again." Aly giggles quietly.
Mike hands the mic to Alex and he starts to talk.
"My name is Alex Riley, and I've been signed to a personal services contract for the Miz!" He says and everyone boos him.
"Haters." Aly says amusedly.
"Oh that's all it takes, you people are real intelligent. But what does a personal services contract mean, what am I even doing out here? Well I'll tell you. I do everything that the Miz asks me to do. I do his laundry, I get his dry cleaning, I even fold this man's underwear...and I like it!"
Aly hangs her head, trying to hide the fact that she's laughing. As for me, I can't hide it, I'm cracking up where I stand. Aly gives in and just laughs hard holding her sides.
"And guess what ladies, if you're planning on going out on a date with the Miz...I would have to take you out first. And if you're not buying my dinner, or you think you fancy...you're not getting a date with the Miz. But see here's the thing, none of that can happen because we're both happily in relationships."
Aly and I both laugh and we wave at the crowd. Mike smiles at her and Alex smiles at me, before continuing.
"But why do I do these things right? As a grown man, why would I do these things? Because whether you like it or not the Miz is the fastest rising star on the Raw roster!"
Aly claps and agrees with a nod.
"And frankly, I'm a huge gold digger and he's about to make a lot of money." He finishes, handing the mic back to Miz.
"Pffft." Aly can't help but laugh at Alex's last comment.
Alex walks back over to me and I'm still laughing a bit.
"The underwear thing again huh?" I ask, laughing.
"Shut up." He nudges me.
"Don't you people get it? Everything I've ever said has come true. I told you all I would win the United States Championship, I won the United States Championship. I told you I would win the Unified Tag Team titles, I won the Tag Team titles! I told you I would be Mr. Money In The Bank, and guess what? I am Mr. Money In the Bank! I am a future WWE Champion!" Mike goes onto say.
Aly claps again with a smile.
"I am the poster child of the WWE! There is nobody bigger than the Miz. I am the reason you people are here tonight! Because I'm the Miz, and I'm...no no no no no no. You don't get to do my catch phrase! If you have anything to say to me, you raise your hand!" He says, then everyone starts raising their hands and Aly snickers while Alex and I just laugh.
"Oh, oh you all have something to say to me huh? You sir with the John Cena t-shirt on. What do you got to say to me? Actually, I could care less what you have to say to me. Because it really doesn't matter. Nothing that you people say matters in this building. The only thing that matters is when I talk. So now I want absolute silence!" He says, waiting for the silence that never comes and we all shake our heads amusedly.
He goes to talk but stops because of the booing and the chanting of 'you suck'.
"Haters." Aly rolls her eyes.
"No I don't suck. Because I'm the Miz...and I'm awesoooome!" He says, then handing the mic back to Justin.
"You love heckling people don't you?" Aly laughs lightly as he leans against her.
"Haha very funny."
"Well I still find you funny even if they don't."
"That's one of the many reasons why I love you." He smiles.
"Love you too." She smiles back and kisses him after hopping down from the ring post as John gets into the ring.
After John does all the stuff he does when he gets into the ring...Aly, me and Alex climb out of the ring and she grabs Mike's shirt after he takes it off and handing it to her. Unfortunately like all the other times, he loses. Of course again, after Alex gets hit by the briefcase again.
"I think his brain forgets to tell him to duck." Aly says to me with a sigh as we check on Alex.
"You make sure Mike's alright, I'll check Alex...like always."
"Alright." She agrees, sliding into the ring.
"Mike this is getting old, you losing like this." She says, kneeling next to him.
"Tell me about it." He groans.
"Come on." She says, helping him up.
We help them backstage.
"Ice again?" I ask Alex as we walk into the room and he nods.
Aly sits carefully on the arm of the couch.
"Go change and then come sit." She says to Mike.
He nods and goes in to change, I come back with the ice and hand it to Alex. He holds it to his head, sighing. Mike comes out all changed and sits between Aly's legs and she starts to push on his shoulders and back as usual.
"Looks like you're the only one not to get hurt this time Aly." I say to her.
"Yeah but I didn't have a match either." She points out.
"Yeah well that's how it was for me last time. You all got hurt, and I didn't because I didn't have a match. Now all of us have gotten hurt and you haven't because you didn't have a match."
"Right."
"Word of advice, if you ever face Natalya...try to avoid the sharpshooter, that kills."
"I'm sure it does." She says.
"Even ask Alex. The first sharpshooter, I got out of. When I rolled out of the ring, I didn't know if I could take anymore."
He nods.
"Ouch." She winces.
"Second sharpshooter, I was nowhere near the ropes...I lasted as long as I could before tapping. I had no choice but to tap."
"Well at least you tried. Instead of being weak like Alicia and LayCool." She shrugs.
"And Maryse."
"That bitch too."
"How're you feeling Mike?" She asks him.
"Much better." He says, tilting his head back so he can smile at her.
"Good." She replies, leaning down to kiss him lightly.
"Ready to go then?" She adds.
"I have to change but we'll meet you out at the car." Alex says.
Mike and Aly both nod and Mike grabs his bag before he and Aly head out to the car. I lean against the couch, waiting for Alex to come out from changing. He comes out and grabs the stuff.
"Ready?" He asks.
"Yeah, let's go."
