It's now Wednesday, and we're all sound asleep. Except Mike, he wakes up a tad early because he's stopping by the TMZ studio to film tonight's episode. He quietly gets up and out of bed, grabbing clothes for the day and heading into the bathroom to change and whatnot. After he changes, he comes out and leaves a note for Aly telling her where he went and that he's going to be back later. He quickly kisses her, before heading out to the TMZ studio. She wakes up about 10 minutes later to find Mike not there. She looks over on the nightstand next to her and reads the note that Mike left.

She tosses it back on the nightstand and rearranges the pillows before going back to sleep. I in the meantime wake up to the sound of the shower going. I look at the time and it's really early.

"What could he possibly be up so early for?" I ask myself, plopping my head back onto the pillow.

Alex eventually comes out, half dressed.

"You're up early." I mumble.

"Just felt like it for some reason. You can go back to sleep if you want." He says, sitting on

the edge of the bed, running his fingers through my hair.

"Well good, I'm half dead here. Not quite ready to get up yet." I laugh slightly.

"I can tell." He chuckles.

"Goodnight...again." I say turning my head, laying face first on the pillow.

"At least make sure you can breathe." He laughs a little.

"I can breathe." My voice muffled by the pillow.

"If you say so. We don't need you suffocating."

"I'm not going to suffocate." I say, turning my head so the side of it's on the pillow.

"Better?" I ask.

"Much." He says and kisses me gently.

"Go back to sleep, I'll wake you up after a while."

"Alright." I say, going back to sleep.

After a half hour passes by, the door to Aly and Mike's room opens and in walks Mike. At this point she has all the pillows stacked around her and the blanket is tucked in to make a cuccoon, her head being the only visible part of her body. Mike smiles, and lets her keep sleeping for a while. He sits down on the couch and just messes about on his phone. Aly starts pulling the blanket in tighter and grumbling about cold hotel rooms and lack of space heater boyfriends, all the while still on the edge of sleep. He chuckles at the comment, but then comes over and lays next to her to see if she'd respond to that. She instantly latches onto him and sighs contentedly.

"Morning to you too." He chuckles.

"Mmm...yeah whatever..." She mumbles sleepily.

"You know you have to get up sometime."

"Not moving."

"You'll have to eventually though. Maybe not now, but eventually."

"Eventually, but not now so shush."

He laughs lightly, and just lays there with her as she sleeps some more. A little bit later she finally wakes up fully and she's still laying against Mike and he's running one hand up and down her arm. She blinks in confusion since she doesn't remember him coming in or their brief conversation since she was so out of it.

"Morning...again." He smiles as he sees her wake up.

"Again?"

"You don't remember? Well, you must've been really tired when I got back from TMZ this morning."

"I guess so because I do not remember you coming in." She says, shaking her head.

"I got back about an hour ago. You were all snuggled up with the pillows and blanket when I walked in."

"That's how I always sleep. Well at least until I had you to share with."

"I thought it was cute." He smiles and she flushes a little.

"How was TMZ?" She asks.

"It was fun, very entertaining." He says.

"We are so watching it tonight." She adds.

"I think you'll be entertained."

"With you hosting the show, I bet it'll be even funnier. Considering the fact that you are a

goofball." She laughs.

"So I am, but I'm your goofball." Mike corrects and she laughs.

"Of course." She smiles.

"But anyway, you can't stay in bed all day. You have to get up." He adds.

"But this is so nice." She whines.

"Yeah, but we have a house show tonight. So technically you cant be in bed all day."

"Bleh."

"I think you and Carly's opponents are LayCool though, if that's so then you get to mock them with the title belts." He points out.

"Oooh. That sounds fun but not enough motivation to move from this."

"Hmmm." He starts thinking of ways to motivate her to get up.

He then suddenly rolls over and pins her there in her spot on the bed and he smirks.

"I'm not sure whether or not to be scared." She says, laying back into the mattress.

"Since I can guarantee Carly's still sleeping...I can do this..." He trails off and kisses her like the last time he did that when I interrupted.

She gives into the kiss with a soft giggle. He pulls back after a while, but still holds her there.

"Is that enough motivation?"

"Hmm...I don't know." She teases with a grin.

"I'm not letting you go until you tell me." He teases.

"And what if I say no?" She raises one eyebrow.

"I'll have to do this..." He trails off, letting her go and proceeding to tickle her.

"Nooo!" She squeals.

"You got to get up." He says inbetween laughs.

"Okay, okay!"

He smiles triumphantly and stops, rolling over and getting off the bed.

"Meanie." She sticks her tongue out at him.

"Love you too." He smiles.

She sticks her tongue out again and then slides off the bed and goes over to her things. She grabs clothes to wear for the day, and heads into the bathroom to change. Mike sits back on the couch, messing around on his phone. Meanwhile, I'm still sleeping. But I hear the words 'get up' ring through my ears.

"Noooo." I groan.

Alex digs his fingers into my sides.

"Come on CareBear."

I jump slightly, but prevent myself from rolling off the bed.

"You keep doing that to wake me up, I'm going to fall off the bed." I mumble.

"Well there's always this way..." He says and then kisses me.

That certainly gets a reaction out of me. I ended up pulling him closer to me, and down onto the bed next to me. He ends up laughing into the kiss.

"Stay." I mumble into the kiss, before pulling away.

"I would babe but we do have a house show."

"Yeah, tonight." I point out.

"We can't be in bed all day." He says.

"Well aren't you the fun sucker." I joke.

"Fun sucker huh?" He smirks and pins me.

"Okay, first the wall and now the bed. Aren't you Mr. Aggressive now." I tease.

He shakes his head amusedly and then kisses me again.

"Alright, no more playing around. Get up." He says, after pulling away.

I whine a little but sigh.

"Alright, but you have to get off first." I point out, he laughs and does so.

I climb out of bed and get dressed in what I grabbed in the bathroom. When I come out, I find Aly and Mike now also in the room.

"Oh look, you guys started the party without me." I laugh and Aly rolls her eyes, laughing.

"So what's going on for today? Besides the house show tonight. I know about that."

"Hmm, we haven't really hung out with John at all. I mean we've seen him backstage at shows and stuff, but how about hanging with him today?" Aly suggests.

"Yeah!" I say.

"I think I'll pass." Mike comments.

"We all know that you would pass on that Mike. You and DC have a guy day. Carly and I will go hang out with John."

"Sounds good to me." Alex shrugs.

"I'll call him and see if he's up for hanging with us." I say to Aly as I pull out my phone and call him.

Aly sits by me and listens while Mike and Alex decide what they're going to do for the day.

"Heyyyy John. What's up?" I ask, after he answers.

"Not too much, just chilling. Why?"

"Well Aly and I were thinking that since we never really hang out with you, that maybe you'd feel up for hanging with us today before the house show tonight?"

"Actually, that sounds great. And I have the perfect thing. Bring a change of clothes that you don't mind getting dirty." John says.

"Alright, sounds like a plan. Meet you in the lobby in say about five?" I ask.

"See you then."

"See you then." I repeat, hanging up.

"I got to go grab some other clothes then, shoes too." Aly says, looking down at her outfit.

"You and me both." I agree.

"I think Mike and I are going to head out now." Alex interjects as everybody gets up.

"Alright. We'll see you guys back here later then." I say.

"Before TMZ comes on though. Only because I stopped by the studio today and I hosted the show." Mike adds.

"We'll be here." Aly giggles and assures him.

"You two go have fun." She adds.

They both kiss us and get their coats before leaving. After they leave, Aly ducks into her and Mike's room and throws some old clothes into a small bag and pulss on her jacket, shoving her purse into the bag as well before meeting me in the hall.

"Wonder what he has planned for us." I wonder as we walk into the elevator, heading down to the lobby.

"I dunno but I bet its going to be fun."

"Oh for sure." I say, as we reach the lobby and walk out of the elevator.

We see John talking to somebody with his back to us. Aly grins at me and runs, jumping on John's back.

"Hi John!"

He stumbles a bit, but steadies himself.

"A little warning next time Aly." He chuckles.

"But that ruins the fun." She laugh

She gets down off his back, as I walk over.

"So what is it you have planned for us to do today?" I ask.

"We're going to go paintballing." John grins.

"Aha, nice. Oh the memories." Aly snickers, thinking back on her time training with the

Hardyz and Crew.

"It's going to be you two, against me." He says.

"Ohhh, we're so going to kick your butt." I laugh and Aly laughs evilly.

"We'll see about that." He chuckles.

John motions for us to follow and he leads us to his car. We all pile in and drive off to the building. When we get there, we head into the changing rooms to change into our old clothes, then headed out and got all ready for the paintballing.

"Haha, this is going to be fun." Aly says as we crouch behind a barrier, waiting for the buzzer

to go off and start the game.

"Prepare to get your butt beat John." I laugh.

The buzzer goes off and we start playing. We suffered a few hits from John, but at the end of the game he ended up covered in blue and purple splotches of paint.

"I told you we'd beat you John." I laugh.

"And beat my ass you did." He laughs, looking down at himself.

"You look like Sully from Monsters Inc." Aly giggles and John cracks up.

"And now that is your nickname." She grins.

"You know what I think? We should take a picture and post it to your Twitter John." I suggest.

"Sure, why not." He chuckles.

He takes out his phone and snaps a picture of all of us together, then posts to Twitter and says after it 'Got my butt beat by my little sisters. Note to self: Don't suggest 2 on 1 ever again'. We laugh and high five.

"Now how about some lunch and then we can head back to the hotel? After we change of course."

"Sounds good." John agrees.

"We do need to make it back before TMZ tonight anyway. Mike ended up hosting tonight's episode." I say, as we walk away from the game field.

"I bet that was interesting." He comments.

"We won't know until tonight. Should be entertaining."

John laughs and nods. We head to the changing rooms and change back into our nicer clothes we had on when we left. We find a restaurant and go in.

"We do. It's nice having little sisters, not that I don't love my brothers but you know." He agrees.

"Speaking of your brother. How's Matt doing with his baby girl?" Aly asks.

"They're doing great. She is just the cutest thing ever." John grins widely.

"Awwww. Well when you get a picture, you have to show us. We want to see what she looks like."

"I'll do that." He nods.

Our food comes shortly after we order it and we sit there, talking and eating and everything. Once we're done we get back into the car and head back to the hotel. We're walking to the elevator and Aly feels eyes following her. She rolls her eyes and tries to ignore it, instead rubbing at an orange splotch on her skin from behing hit by one of John's shots during paintball.

"We have some serious cleaning up to do haha." I laugh.

"Uh-huh." She says, absentmindedly while continuing to rub at the spot, occasionally glaring in the direction the stares are coming from as we wait for the elevator.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Stalkers." She tilts their head in their direction.

"They seriously have no lives."

"Agreed." She sighs and rolls my eyes.

Finally the elevator dings and opens, and we walk in. Waving to John who is talking to someone in the lobby. He waves back as the doors close and we head up to our floor. We end up getting back to the rooms before the guys do.

"I'm going to get cleaned up." Aly says, hand on the handle of the door leading to her room.

"Alright, same with me. Even though these splotches of orange paint go well with what I'm wearing." I laugh.

"They sure do." She laughs and goes into her room.

I head into mine as well, drop my bag next to my things and head into the bathroom to wash the orange paint off of wherever I could find it, and Aly does the same in the bathroom in her room. Aly starts to sing quietly as she rubs the paint off with a wash cloth and she doesn't even hear the room's door open and shut. Once she's done, she walks out of the bathroom and sees Mike bak and sitting on the bed, watching tv. She smiles and climbs onto the bed, laying against him.

"Hey you." She says, kissing his cheek.

"Hey, how was your day? Fun?" He asks, looking at her.

"It was. John took us paintballing." She laughs.

"That sounds like it was awesome."

"Dolce and I got him so bad. There's a picture on Twitter." She snickers.

"He looked like Sully from Monsters Inc, because he had purple and blue splotches of paint all over him. Haha." Aly laughs, Mike snickers.

"So now he will forever be knows as Sully to me."

Mike shakes his head and laughs.

"But it was fun. I just got finished washing off whatever orange paint he got on me."

"I hope I didn't miss any. that'd be so nice for the house show, orange splotches." She jokes.

"Haha, nope you're good." Mike says, checking everywhere visible.

"Good." She laughs.

"So what did you and DC do today?" She adds.

"Eh, this and that." He says evasively.

"Uh-huh, did you have fun?"

"Yeah."

"Good. Now time's going to go by so slow because I want to watch TMZ."

"You just want to see me on there." Mike teases.

"So? You knew that already." She laughs.

"You can last a few more hours." He chuckles.

"Boring." She pouts, laying her head in the crook of his neck and shoulder.

"Sleeping always passes the time." He suggests.

"Hm..true but for once, I'm not really that tired."

"Well I guess you'll have to wait those few hours out."

"Actually, I can think of better things." She says, lifting up so that she's leaning over him.

"What're you doing?" He asks curiously, but smiling.

"Returning the favor from this morning." She smirks lightly before sealing their lips together.

He goes to roll over like this morning, but she stops him.

"Nope, not this time." She says, after pulling away for a second.

"My turn this time." She manages to say before he reaches up for another kiss.

Meanwhile, I come out of the bathroom after cleaning off the orange paint and just like Mike, Alex is relaxing on the bed, watching tv.

"Hello." I say, laying next to him and wrapping one arm around his waist.

"Hello yourself. How was your day?" Alex replies, smiling down at me.

"Went paintballing, really fun."

"Oh jeez, I bet it was."

"Aly and I totally beat John. It was us against him, 2 on 1 haha."

Alex laughs.

"Got covered in purple and blue paint. Aly and I also got some paint on us, orange but we cleaned up when we got back. I think I got every spot of orange that was on me anyway."

"Looks like you got it." Alex looks at me.

"Good, even though it would go with what I'm wearing really well but still."

"It would." Alex agrees while chuckling.

"What did you do with Mike?"

"Just guy stuff." He shrugs.

"I see. Well just a few more hours until TMZ. Should be entertaining. But time is taking too damn long."

"We could take a nap." Alex offers.

"Or, I have a better idea." I say, reaching my hand up and dragging my nails across his neck.

He instantly closes his eyes and relaxes, a faint growling rumbling in his chest.

"Returning the favor from this morning."

"Mmm." He mumbles.

"Now no funny business while I'm doing this. I know you'll want to try something."

He smirks and pulls me down to kiss me.

"Like this?" He mumbles against my lips.

"Yes like that." I mumble, nodding.

"Too bad."

"You sneak." I giggle.

"You love it." He smirks after pulling away.

"I do, but now I got to calm down...thank you." I laugh, Alex chuckles.

My heartbeat goes back to normal after sitting there for a while.

"Okay, I'm good now. Or well until you decide to do that again." I say, he snickers.

"Don't get any ideas, anytime soon." I laugh, pointing at him.

"You say that and its what gives me the ideas." He laughs at me.

"I should stop saying that then shouldn't I? Haha."

"Only if you want to." He jokes.

"But the only thing is, where's the fun in that?" I laugh.

"Exactly." Alex grins.

Meanwhile in Aly and Mike's room, she's pulled away from him and he's just laying there.

"Wow." Which is all he can say at this moment, Aly can't help but laugh.

"I left you really dazed this time didn't I?" She asks and he nods wordlessly.

"Now you know how I feel when you do that to me." She says, giggling.

She lays there with him for the rest of the few hours we had left. She looks at the time and finally it's almost time for TMZ. She reaches for the remote and flip the channels until she gets to the right one.

"Anxious are we?" Mike asks laughing.

"Shush." She pokes his side.

They get to the part where they say that Ryan Seacrest could be his doppleganger and he flips out and throws the marker to the board in the air in disbelief and Aly starts laughing.

"What was that about?" She asks.

"They were comparing me to Seacrest, I don't look like him haha."

"Not really." She says after studying Mike for a minute.

"You're much easier on the eyes." She adds, giggling lightly.

"And I'm not as short as he is."

"Definitely not."

After going through more stories and commercials the credits were rolling and they were showing one last thing. Aly sighs and reaches up, smacking him upside the head.

"Ow. What was that for?" He asks, rubbing his head.

She looks at the tv and then at him pointedly.

"It was supposed to be funny. Sorry."

"Uh-huh, sure."

"Anyway, the show starts at 8, so we should be getting ready to go right now." He adds.

"Right."

She gets up and puts her stuff in a bag, setting it on the bed before going into the bathroom to fix her hair and everything. After that, she comes back out and then walks into my room to make sure that Alex and I are all set to go as well.

"Yes, we're all set...don't worry." I say, before she could ask and she sticks her tongue out at me.

We all meet out in the hall and then head down to the lobby, then out to the car and drive to the arena.

"So who's up first?" Aly questions once we get intot he room.

"I am. I get to open the show tonight." Alex replies.

"Against who?" I ask.

"I'm so going to enjoy this...Barrett."

"Oh boy." Aly laughs.

"I'm closing the show in the main event...against Gabriel." Mike adds.

"Really?" Aly looks at him in surprise and he nods with a smirk on his face.

"I'd hate to be Gabriel." I snicker.

"I'd hate to be Barrett." Aly adds, snickering herself.

The guys just smirk evilly.

"Then I think our match against LayCool is somewhere in the middle. We get to mock them haha."

"Got to love it." Aly says with a half-smirk.

A stagehand knocks on the door, telling Alex that he had to get ready to open the show.

"Well I might as well get into my gear too so that I'm all set for later." I say, getting up with Alex, Mike and Aly nod.

"I'll change shortly." She says.

"Okay." I say, leaving with Alex and heading off into different directions so we could get ready.

We meet outside the superstar locker room and start heading for the curtain.

"Time for you to kick some cheeky monkey butt."

"I'm really going to enjoy this." Alex smirks.

"And I'm going to enjoy watching you beat the crap out of him."

"Is that so?" Wade's voice comes from behind me as we wait for Alex's music to play.

"Yes that is so." I say without turning aorund and then Alex's music hits.

We walk out, and do the usual stuff on the ramp and get into the ring. We wait casually in the ring, until the ninny music plays and Wade walks out. I just stand there, staring him down as he gets into the ring. Once the music fades, Alex kisses me quickly before handing me his vest and holding the ropes for me to get out. Wade watches me as I get out and Alex walks up to him and shoves him.

"Keep your eyes off of her Barrett." Alex says through clenched teeth.

"I'll look if I want to Riley." Wade retorts.

"Not while I'm in this ring looking right at you. Do it again and see what happens."

Wade does it again to piss Alex off. The ref makes sure that they're all set to wrestle. He signals for the bell too ring and when it does, Alex wastes no time in going after Wade. He does a series of punches and kicks to Wade, and never stops. Alex had control over the entire match, and in the end he did indeed win with his finisher. I crawl into the ring as his arm is raised in victory and smirk at a weak Wade laying on the mat. That's when out of the corner of my eye, I saw the rest of Nexus running down to the ring.

"Oh hell no." I mutter.

But out of nowhere, John runs out behind them and stands behind them in the ring. They're facing Alex and I so they don't know what's going on. I smirk and then point behind them. The first to turn around was Otunga and John knocked him down. The rest of Nexus fled and pulled Otunga out. The only member left was Wade, and John looked right at him. I nod at John to go ahead, because Alex already gave Wade the beating he deserved. Alex and I get out of the ring and John delivers the AA on Wade as we walk away. I smile as we walk away and backstage.

The next match of the night was Aly and myself against Layla and Michelle McCool, I can just say that we kicked their butts in like the first few minutes of the match. The main event of the night was Gabriel against Miz and he too of course kicked Gabriel's butt, for kissing Aly that one Monday Night.

We were all backstage, all ready to head back to the hotel.

"Wade and Gabriel got what they deserved tonight." Aly declares, Mike and Alex smirk

triumphantly.

"Now all that needs to happen is Wade being kicked out of Nexus Monday. He'll be a loser." I add.

"That would be so epic."

"Although, I do want to see John back on Raw as a WWE Superstar."

"Right..."

"But anyway, I think we should head back to the hotel now. But not because I'm tired, I just want to head back." I suggest.

We all agree and walk out to the car, getting in and driving back to the hotel.

"I think I know the reason why you wanted to go back so eagerly." She says, raising an eyebrow and turning around to look at me in the backseat.

I raise an eyebrow.

"You want to like make out with DC when you get back and into your room." She smirks.

I turn red and start hitting her while the guys are just laughing.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I reply.

"You're blushinggggg" She sings, giggling.

"No I'm not." I say, trying to hide.

"Yeah-huh!" She laughs.

"You have no proof."

"Pfftt whatever." She grins and turns back around while humming 'PDA'.

"No PDA humming." I say from the backseat, then she starts singing it.

"No singing it either."

She starts singing something else that's simular. The whole car ride just was silent, that is after she stopped singing. Awkwarrrddd. Aly starts laughing.

"Awkwarddddd." Aly snickers while doing the awkward turtle hand motions.

"Well you're the one who started the awkwardness." I point out and she shrugs.

"And how would you even know that what you mentioned earlier is something I would want to do or not hmmm?"

"Psh, please."

"Where to begin. Oh yes, you dreamt about it for one thing." She states.

"And you talk about it in your sleep too." She adds.

"You lie." I immediately say.

"Bull! I've heard you." She laughs.

"And it's all you could talk about to me on the phone while you were traveling with Mike when NXT started."

My face is as red as can be. Mike is laughing and Alex is chuckling but also looking at me curiously. I'm at a loss for words, because I don't have anymore comebacks.

"No comment." I say to stop her from saying everything.

"That's what I thought." She grins.

I finally went back to my normal face color when we reached the hotel. We all walked in and up to our rooms.

"Night." She smirks at me one last time before disappearing into her room.

"That girl is crazy." Alex laughs.

"Yeah, a little."

"You don't hae to be embarrassed." He says, putting his arms around me.

"Can't help it. It comes naturally." I state, he chuckles and presses a kiss to my forehead.

"Go get ready for bed." He says, pushing me towards my things.

"Okay okay, goodness." I say, getting my pjs and going into the bathroom to change."

"You really know how to razz her don't you?" Mike asks, after Aly comes out of the bathroom from changing.

"Years of practice. She gets me back just as good."

"So you're expecting a comeback from her very soon?"

"I would say so."

"She can deny everything I said tonight all she wants, I know the truth." She laughs, getting into bed next to him and he chuckles.

"And what I said tonight IS the truth."

"I know." Mike says, laughing.

"Well, I'm pretty tired now so I think we should head to bed." You yawn.

"Good idea. Night babe, love you." He says, lightly kissing me.

"Love you too."

When I came out of the bathroom, Alex was laying there almost falling asleep.

"Alright, you're tired." I laugh.

He nods, yawning.

"Night." I say, reaching over and turning the light off.

"Night love." He mumbles.
