It's the next morning, and Aly woke up to the sound of an alarm going off, telling her and Mike to get up to catch the flight out to California. She moves her hand around, searching for where the alarm is coming from, until she finds it and shut it off.
"Mike...we got to get up..." She mumbles.
He groans and she kisses his chest.
"Come on lover boy." She sighs.
"...five more minutes..." He mumbles.
"You have until I get out of the bathroom. The longer you take, the longer I keep you from having lip gloss."
"...fine..."
She slides out of his arms and off the bed, going to get dressed. He slowly starts moving, and gets out of bed, going over to his things to get clothes and such to change into, after she's in the bathroom. She comes ou and goes to pack her stuff up before she puts her shoes on. After changing, he goes into the bathroom to do his hair and whatnot like always, and once he's done he walks out and packs his things as well. She finishes buckling her shoes and sits back a bit, yawning.
"I know, I'm tired too." He says, after hearing the yawn.
"I know you are, you had a super long day yesterday." She points out.
"Today's gonna be a long day too, with the flight and Dancing With The Stars tonight."
"Yeah, but then we have the rest of the week to relax before we're needed for Extreme
Rules."
"We need the the relaxation the rest of the week definitely."
"Yeah." She agrees.
He grabs his things, and then she grabs hers. They walk out of the room, after making sure they got everything, and down tot he car that was waiting for them since the rental car would be left for me or Alex to drive. It's off to the airport and when they get there, they make their way through the check ins and everything before sitting in the waiting area. Their flight gets called to board after a bit and they go to their seats, getting situated. Once others had gotten on the plane, it pulled away from the gate and they had begun the long flight back to LA. Back at the hotel, I wke up a few hours later and get a glimpse of what time it is. I don't want to get up, but I do anyway. I had already slept in long enough. I realize that Alex isn't in bed but a quick look around reveals that he's out on the balcony. I walk over to my things and put a hoodie on because it tends to be cool in the mornings. I walk over and open the door, stepping out onto the balcony closing the door behind me.
"Morning." I say, walking up and standing next to him.
"Morning." He replies, leaning over to kiss my cheek.
"What're you doing out here?"
"Just relaxing, I couldn't sleep any longer."
"Yeah, me neither. So despite the draft today, anything else going on?"
"We're going back to NXT, I have a dark match against Johnny Curtis."
"Sounds like fun."
"Yeah." Alex chuckles.
"Well we can even stick around for the show too, it's been a while since we've been back. Not since last season."
"Right." He agrees.
"Gotta look out for Lucky though...he's got this new gimmick of 'Mr Steal Your Girl'." I roll my eyes laughing.
"I'd like to see him try." Alex scoffs.
"Well I don't think we have anything to worry about...his eyes are on Maryse."
Alex makes a face.
"My exact reaction...haha."
"Well she's just...ew."
"Uh...yeah."
"I'm glad that Mike broke up with her and got with Windy because otherwise I would've had to deal with her and that would have been horrible."
"No kidding. I wouldn't be able to travel with her every single day. She's just plain annoying."
"Exactly."
"Ohhh not looking forward to seeing her tonight."
"Me either."
"But you know what's embarrassing? Hornswaggle is Titus' pro."
"I know." Alex laughs.
"But anyways, maybe we should get dressed and get some breakfast. I mean once that
draft starts at noon, my eyes are gonna be glued to my computer screen and I won't want to do anything until it's over."
"Yeah, sounds good."
He walks over to the door and opens it, stepping aside to let me go in first.
"After you."
"Thank you." I say, stepping back inside.
The two of us go about getting dressed and then head out to find some place for breakfast. A few hours later, Aly and Mike's plane lands in LA and they get off, heading over to the baggage claim to get their things. They get their bags and head out to Mike's car that someone dropped off. They put everything in the trunk and theng et in, heading to his place. The entire drive they're holding hands, his other hand on the wheel and her free hand hanging out the window.
"Looks like we're gonna have the rest of the week to ourselves again right?" She asks.
"Yeah." He nods.
"Good." She smiles
"Can never get enough of days off." She adds.
"Me either, especially now that I have you to spend them with." He says, squeezing her hand.
"Aww." She giggles.
"I'm glad you got drafted back last night. If you didn't, I don't know what I would've done."
"I know, I was so scared I'd be stuck there."
"I know I was scared too, even though I would still be able to come onto Smackdown with me being champion and all."
"Yeah but you know that will only last so long...At least we don't have to worry about it."
"Right." He nods.
She squeezes his hand and smiles at him.
Then they pull up to his place and he parks. They both get out and grab their things before heading inside. They get inside and head tot he bedroom, setting down their bags and flopping on the bed.
"I always like coming home to this bed." He sighs.
"I know you do." She laughs, laying on him.
"But you do too, I can tell by the way you fell onto the bed with me."
"Tis true." She agrees.
"Umm..."
"Or we could just lay here...up to you."
"Lay here for a while."
"I knew you would say that." He smiles.
"Not like you were going to let me go anyway." She points out, patting his arms that are holding her firmly.
"That's right, I wasn't gonna let you go."
"I didn't think so."
He just grins, and then leans up and kisses her quickly. She follows him down and fuses
their lips again. He chuckles, but kisses back.
"Someone's affectionate." He mumbles, and then she breaks away.
"There's no one around to interrupt by singing PDA." She says dryly.
"Which is a very good thing."
"Yes, so be quiet."
"Okay okay, I'll be quiet."
She stares at him for a few seconds before she kisses him again. After a while since he
had the strong grip on her, he managed to roll the both of them over so that he was over her
now. She makes a small noise and slides her hands up to his neck. He starts to deepen
the kiss, and she moves her hands to his hair, gripping some of it as she goes. She keeps
messing with his hair and another noise escapes as she feels one of his hands slip under
the bottom of her shirt. He smirks into the kiss, moving the hand under the bottom of her
shirt further up with his fingers running along her spine. She arches a little, giving his hand
more room to move underneath her. She tugs lightly on his hair. He pulls away from her lips
and starts to move them down to her neck. She keeps playing with his hair as well as
drawing patterns on his scalp and neck with her fingers and nails while his attention is on
her neck. When she runs her nails across his neck a certain way, he growls against her
neck. She shivers a little at the sensation. In retaliation for making him growl, he wastes no time in going to the sensitive spot, attaching his lips instantly. She moans and digs her fingers into his shoulders. Part of her knows she should tell him to not leave marks but his mouth on her neck is keeping her from thinking straight.
But he did stop before he could leave any marks, because he knew they had to go to Dancing With The Stars tonight. After he stopped there, he went back up to her lips, still keeping his hand underneath her shirt. She sighs as they lock lips again. He pulls away one last time, and leans his forehead against hers.
"Love you."
"Love you too." She says, slowly opening her eyes.
"Just think, if we went any farther than that...we'd end up in the same spot as we did the night of your birthday." He smirks.
"And those times when we were here after Wrestlemania and our wedding night...you act like that's something new." She says in amusement.
"Well yeah, but the night of your birthday we got so much farther than those two times."
"More than two times but I guess I get your point."
He smiles and takes his hand out from under her shirt, and rolls over so he's laying next to her. She rolls on her side and lays her head on his chest. He puts an arm around her, and leans down kissing the top of her head.
"I think that maybe we should get up and do something Lover Boy. You pick this time."
"Hmm, well we could go get lunch first of all. Maybe the beach after that? I know you can't get enough of the beach." He suggests.
"I think that's a good idea. And I do love the beach...just like you love seeing the bathing suits I wear."
"There's no denying that." He smiles.
"Alright, let's go then."
They both get up and get ready for the beach, then putting clothes back on over the swimsuits, and finally leaving to head to lunch first. Meanwhile Alex and I are lounging in our room while waiting for the draft to start. It finally reaches noontime and I'm on and in the chat which reveals the draft picks. Almost immediately after it started the first Draft Pick was made. Daniel Bryan has been drafted to Smackdown.
"Hah, bye bye brat." I say.
"Good, they can have him." Alex adds.
"Totally." I nod.
The next draft pick takes forever. I find out from what's being said in the chat, that it's going to take 10-15 minutes for the next draft pick to come through.
"Seriously? 10 to 15 minutes?"
But shortly after that the next selection for the draft has been made, and we see that Swagger is coming to Raw.
"Oh no, now Cole's gonna be stuck to him even more."
"Great." Alex rolls his eyes.
The next pick came through after the next 10-15 minutes, and we see that the Great Khali has gone to Smackdown.
"I have no comment for that one. It's a loss, but then again it's not."
"Right."
After waiting what seemed forever, the next draft came through and Jey Uso was drafted to Smackdown. Could really care less about that pick, and waited for the next one. Finally it appeared on the screen and Kelly Kelly is coming to Raw.
"Ooooh Aly will be happy about that pick."
"Yeah." Alex chuckles.
The next four draft picks came through in the usual 10-15 minute intervals. JTG is coming to Raw, Alicia Fox is going to Smackdown, William Regal is going to Smackdown and Yoshi Tatsu is going to Smackdown. The next pick is what shocked me, Drew McIntyre is coming to Raw.
"Oh no..."
"Windy and Mike aren't going to like that..."
"Not at all."
The next draft pick was a diva pick, and we lost Natalya to Smackdown.
"Awww man! Not Natalya!"
More picks came through, which we could care less about again. Curt Hawkins is coming to Raw, Chris Masters is coming to Raw, Jimmy Uso is going to Smackdown, and Kofi is coming to Raw. The next pick made me extremely happy. Ted is going to Smackdown.
"HAH! Now you can leave me alone!"
Alex grins.
The next 3 picks were just 'eh'. Tyson went to Smackdown, Tamina went to Smackdown...poor Santino, and Tyler Reks is coming to Raw. Now to wait for the next pick. Waiting is torture and boring when I have to stare at the screen for the draft selection announcement comes through. So I'm sitting there watching people talk in the chat. The 10-15 mintues passed and the draft selection announcement came through. Shortly after, they revealed the pick. My hand immediately went to my mouth when I saw that Alex was drafted to Smackdown.
"Shit." Alex sighs.
"...this can't be happening..." I say, muffled from my hand.
Alex wraps his arms around me and lays his head in my neck. I sit there still in a bit of shock as I watch for the last two picks. Beth Pheonix is coming to Raw and Sheamus is going to Smackdown. That's it, it's over...nothing about me being drafted. I was hoping that I would've at least been drafted to be on the same show as Alex...but no.
"This sucks." Alex mumbles.
I just nod, closing out of the page and shutting off the computer and closing the screen. I set my computer on the nightstand and then turn over to cling to Alex.
"Shh...hey, we talked about this. We'll be okay." Alex says soothingly while rubbing my back.
"I know...but this isn't fair...for me."
"I know babe but we all knew that this could happen. We've been lucky not to get seperated before now."
"Yeah, I mean you will be traveling with us...just not really coming to Raw unless you're told you can. Sitting in the hotel room every Monday night...not with me."
"Hey I can still be backstage with you, just not at your matches and things like that."
"Unless when it's a big event where the Smackdown roster can be on Raw...those don't come too often."
"Yeah but we'll make the best of it."
"Right, well I better let Aly and Mike know of the changes." I sigh.
"Right." Alex sighs too.
"I'll be back." I say, pulling away from him and taking out my phone to call Aly, and walking out onto the balcony.
"What's up Dolce?" She asks as she answers her phone while laying on her towel at the beach.
"I got the results of the draft today."
"Bad news first?"
"Yeah, it's better that way...um...it's Alex...he's..." I trail off, before pausing to take a deep breath.
"...he's going to Smackdown."
"WHAT?" She shoots up into a sitting position.
"I couldn't believe it either...but it's true. I was afraid of this happening..."
"Oh no..." She sighs.
"I mean he'll still be with us for Raw, just sitting backstage. For our house shows...he's not gonna be with us. Smackdown goes to completely different places for their house shows."
"Right...man this sucks..."
"I know...and other bad news...you and Mike aren't gonna like this either...Drew's coming to Raw."
"Shit." She mutters.
"But that's the only bad news...oh besides Natalya going to Smackdown too."
"Awww."
"But here's some good news...Kelly's coming to Raw, Beth is coming to Raw and Ted's going to Smackdown."
"Well that's good at least." Aly sighs, watching Mike as he swims around in the waves.
"The draft ended with Sheamus getting drafted to Smackdown. I was hoping I would at least be drafted to be with Alex...but I guess not."
"Well at least you can appear over there for as long as you're champion."
"Yeah, that's the only good thing out of this."
"You gonna be okay?"
"Well I'm not right now, but I should be okay."
"As long as you're gonna be okay."
"I will be. No depression, not this time."
"Good."
"Well if I don't get back in the room soon, Alex is gonna start worrying about me. We're going to NXT tonight since he has a dark match with Johnny Curtis, so be sure to tell me how Dancing With The Stars is."
"I will, and the same with you. I want to hear about NXT."
"I'll tell you about it definitely. Even if Maryse has airhead moments...those are always hilarious." I laugh.
"Hah, yeah. Be sure to mock her for me."
"Will do. Maybe I'll surprise her with a visit to the ring in the beginning of the show. Oh her face would be priceless."
"It would." Aly laughs a little.
"Steal her spotlight as the host for one night."
"You should."
"Ohhh this is gonna be good."
"Well have fun." She laughs.
"You have fun tonight too."
"Will do. Bye."
"Bye." I say, and we both hang up.
Aly sighs and puts her phone back in her bag. Mike comes back from swimming in the
waves, and sits down next to her on his towel.
"Something's wrong..." He trails off, looking at her.
"Alex got drafted."
"No...seriously?"
"Seriously."
"Wow, wasn't expecting that to happen. Carly must be devastated."
"She's definitely upset but she says she's going to be okay."
"Well that's good. The last thing we need is to worry about her like last time."
"Yeah."
"Any other bad news?"
"Natalya's gone and...um...Drew's on Raw."
"Now we got to deal with him and Morrison...great." He sighs.
"Yeah..."
"Drew is not gonna get near you, I promise."
"I hope not." I sigh.
"Let's not worry about that right now. Let's just enjoy our time here."
"Right." She nods, laying back and rolling onto her stomach.
"What no swimming?" He laughs.
"I was going to tan a little more but you're going to drag me out there aren't you."
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not..."
"I don't trust you." She eyes him warily.
"Since when do you trust me in these kinds of situations?"
"Never."
"Exactly."
"...uh...huh..."
"Don't worry I'll let you do a little more tanning."
"Sure..." She keeps eyeing him as she stretches out.
"No, seriously. I'm not gonna do anything."
"...fine..." She lays her head down and closes her eyes.
He sticks by his promise and doesn't do anything, letting her lay there and tan a bit more.
He occupies himself with his phone, until she's done. She finally rolls back over and
stretches again. When she's not looking, he goes to the camera part of his phone and he
sneakily takes a picture of her. She glances up and sees the look on his face.
"Alright, what did you do now."
"Nothing."
"You did something. I know that look."
"I did nothing."
"Yes you did." She reaches over and pokes his side.
"Prove it." He grins.
"I don't have to, I know you did something."
"And like I would tell you what I did. That ruins the fun of it."
"...you posted something on Twitter didn't you."
"...even if I did, it's not like you can see it. You don't have a Twitter."
She gives him a pout.
"Give me the phone Mike..."
"Nope."
"Mike..."
"You're not getting my phone."
"Just let me see."
"And if I don't?"
"No kisses."
"That's not fair."
"Then let me see."
He thinks about it for a few moments, before giving in and going into his phone and finding
the picture, showing it to her.
"And you put that picture on Twitter?"
"Guilty as charged." He nods.
"I'm almost afraid to ask about the caption you put."
"I'll show you." He says, going onto his Twitter and going to the link to the picture, and then
showing her the caption he put.
"Smoking hot wife huh?"
"Yep."
"You're a dork." She says, shaking her head and tossing her sunglasses into her bag
before getting up.
"Ah, but I'm your dork and you love me."
"This is true." She shrugs and starts to walk down to the water.
He puts his phone back with his things, before getting up himself, walking down to the
water too. She turns and blows a kiss at him before bolting into the water.
"Heyyy!"
She just laughs.
"I'm so gonna get you for that."
"Bring it Lover Boy." She teases.
"You have no idea what you just got yourself into." He says, walking into the water towards
her.
"Eep." She swims out farther.
He grins evilly and starts to swim out after her. She manages to evade him for a while.
"Haha, what now?"
"Oh like that's gonna stop me."
He puts on more speed and grabs her.
"Nooooo..."
"Told you." He laughs.
"Damn." She laughs.
"Now, I think for catching you all by myself for the 2nd time...I deserve a prize."
"Reeeeeeeeeally..." She draws the word out as she slides her arms around his neck.
"Yes really."
Without warning she pulls him down and kisses him hard.
"Like that?" She asks when they seperate.
"...yeah..." He replies, a little dazed.
She laughs at the dazed look on his face. Then she takes her arms away from being around
his neck and manages to pull away from his grip, swimming backwards and away.
"Hey, get back here."
"Nope."
"Don't make me come over there."
She just waves teasingly. When she's not looking at him, he disappears underwater,
swimming towards her. But he doesn't grab her or anything. He makes sure that he gets
behind you, and when he surfaces she ends up bumping into him.
"Eep!" She squeals, spinning around.
"Got you again."
"So you did..."
"Can't get away from me this time."
She shrugs and snuggles into him. They stayed at the beach, until the sun started to go
down. At that time, it was getting close for Dancing With The Stars, so they headed back to
the car and back to his place to get ready. Now Alex and I are getting ready to go to NXT. I
come out of the bathroom and immediately feel Alex looking me over from head to toe.
"No need to say anything, I already know what you're thinking." I laugh.
He grins.
"Aly and I were talking about it, and we agreed on having me steal Maryse's spotlight as the
host of NXT for tonight."
"Oh man, her face is going to be priceless." Alex snickers.
"Yep, it's going to be fun. She wants me to mock Maryse for her too."
"She would."
"Yes she would. Now, we have a show to get to." I say, putting a jacket on.
"Right." He agrees and puts on his own jacket.
We then head out and to the arena, and when we get there I head down to the locker room
so that he could get ready for the dark match that will take place before NXT starts. Alex
comes out after a few minutes and lays an arm across my shoulders as the two of us walk
down the hall. Instead of going to the room, we go right to the curtain to wait. After a while, it
was time for the match and Alex's new music hit.
"I'll be watching from in the room, I wanna keep it a secret that I'm here until the show
actually starts."
"Alright." He says and kisses me.
"Love you."
"Love you too." I say back, then turning and walking to the room.
Alex walks out. He gets into the ring, and cuts a short promo saying that he'll show how he
doesn't need Mike. Then Johnny Curtis came out and got into the ring. It was a pretty long
match, but in the end Alex lost. Johnny celebrates as Alex rolls out of the ring and goes
backstage. He goes back to change, and then comes to the room and walks in, sitting down
next to me.
"You did your best, that's all that matters."
He nods and leans into me. We sit there, and wait for the show to start. Eventually it does
and the intro video plays introducing all the rookies and their pros, before going to the ring
with Todd Grisham ringside introducing the show and talking about the draft for a second.
"Ehhh, don't remind me."
Alex sighs and agrees. The cameras go to the ring, where Maryse and Matt Striker are
standing waiting to introduce the rookies. Maryse of course does the introductions, and the
rookies walk down to the ring while the pros stay up on the stage.
"Okay perfect time coming up to go out there, I shall be back in a while." I say, getting up.
"Have fun." Alex chuckles as I lean down for a kiss.
"I most certainly will." I smile and then head out and wait by the curtain for a few moments.
I stand there, and as soon as Striker starts talking, I tell them to hit my music and I walk out
with a mic in my hand. Maryse is instantly glaring at me but glancing at the entrance,
obviously expecting Aly to walk out too.
"Oh don't worry, it's just me tonight." I say, after they cut my music.
She almost looks relieved but then goes back to glaring at me. I start to get into the ring, and
pass the rookies, putting a hand up to stop Lucky before he even tries anything.
"But I am here for a reason. And that reason is, to steal your spotlight as the host of the
show for tonight."
"I don't think so!" Maryse exclaims before going off into a French rant as she's prone to
doing.
Just like I said I'd do for Aly, I mocked her by doing the hand motion of hers to shut her up. I
then do a 'shoo' hand motion to tell her to leave.
"You can still do your little backstage stuff, but I'm taking over this portion of the show. Deal
with it."
She storms off angrily. Then Striker goes through the redemption point standings of all the
rookies. Titus is in the lead with 13 points, followed by Darren Young, Byron Saxton, Jacob
Novak, Lucky and Conor.
"But gentlemen this is a very important competition, it's worth 4 redemption points and it's
called 'how well do you know your pro'. Now the rules are fairly simple. We're going to ask
your pro a question, your pro will write his answer down on a dry erase board, then we will
come to you and Carly will see how well you know your pro. Pros pay attention you're first
question is, what is the one thing your rookie does better than any of the other rookies in
this competition?"
Then this funky music plays while the pros write down their answers. I stand there waiting,
occasionally glaring at Lucky, who is blatantly staring at me.
"Alright, so Byron what do you think your pro said?" I ask, walking up to him.
"Well I'm going to say that my pro is going to say that I...speak better than the rest of rookies."
I start to laugh a little bit, but laugh even more when Yoshi wrote 'Just wrestle'.
"Sorry, wrong answer. Conor, step forward. So we want to see what your pro said. What do
you think?"
"Punish them."
"Okay, Kozlov can we see the board please?"
He holds it up after laughing a bit, and I laugh too when it says 'Fire Up'.
"Darren Young please step forward. So what do you think your pro said."
"To be quite honest, I really don't care what he said. Chavo last week you embarrassed me,
when I took on Hornswaggle. I think I'm a better wrestler than you. I know I am."
"Alright enough of that. Chavo the board please." I say, and he reveals it to say 'wrestle', but
it's not a correct answer.
Next up was Jacob Novak, and he just looked ridiculous dressed like a gangster. I had to
hold in my laughter though.
"Jacob Novak, what do you think your pro said?"
"I think it's obvious. I make this look good."
"Ooookay...JTG we want to see your board." I say looking at Jacob weirdly, and JTG holds up
the board saying 'Stay flyy', which ended up being a correct answer.
Next was Lucky, and I just rolled my eyes as he looked me over. I tried to say as far away
from him as possible, and before I spoke I made sure to show him my engagement ring.
He gives a little scoff.
"I'm engaged to Alex, so back off. But anyways, what do you think your pro said?"
"My pro...no offense to Tyson Kidd, but this show isn't about him, it's not about anybody, this
show is all about me!"
"Uh-huh sure, but let's see what your pro said."
Tyson flips his board around and it says 'Best Attire'.
"And lastly, Titus O'Neil step forward. What do you think your pro said?"
"I would have to say...connect with the WWE Universe...connect with the crowd.
"Okay, Hornswaggle can we see your board please."
He shakes his head 'no', and doesn't look up when he turns the board around, which
says 'Bark'. The only one with the correct answer was Jacob, so we moved onto round two.
"Pros please finish this sentence. If my rookie does not make it as a WWE Superstar, I
recommend he becomes a blank..."
Once again the music plays, and we wait for the pros to finish.
"Okay once again, Byron what do you think your pro said?" I ask, after the music stopped.
"I'm gonna go with my former job, and I'm gonna say...news reporter."
Yoshi turns his board around and it says 'Fire up'. I crack up laughing as the buzzer goes off,
and I ask Conor to step forward, and ask him what he thinks his pro said.
"...a fighter."
Kozlov has a grin on his face, and he turns the board around and it says 'Firefither'. Even though it had 'fighter' in the word, he still got it wrong. We move onto Darren Young and I ask him the same question.
"Like I said before, I do not care what Chavo has to write down."
I just roll my eyes.
"Board please."
Chavo turns it around and it says 'Trash Man'. Jacob steps forward to answer the question, and as usual I ask the same question.
"Well I think JTG and me will be on the same page on this, we've discussed this. There is no answer to this question because Jacob Novak will be the WWE's next breakout star."
"Let's see the board." I say, sighing.
JTG makes a face before turning the board around to reveal 'Hip Hop MC'. Then of course Lucky was next, I rolled my eyes in disgust before he walked forward to answer the question.
"That's a really good questiong, but I think inquiring minds want to know is when you're gonna realize that you don't belong with Alex. I'm much better than he is."
"Oh really? He's on the main roster...and where are you? Oh yeah you're on NXT for the 2nd time. So yeah no, you're not better. More like 2nd rate loser. Let's see the board...now."
Tyson turns the board around, and it says 'fashion designer'. Then lastly was Titus and I ask him the same question for the last time.
"A dog catcher? A dog trainer."
Hornswaggle looks away again as he turns the board around to reveal 'bodyguard'. That was the end of the challenge and Jacob won to earn 4 redemption points. I hand the mic back to an attendant ringside and go to get out of the ring. But of course Lucky grabbed my arm preventing me from going any further. He doesn't seem to want to let go, so I use my other hand to slap him across the face and he let go to hold his face. I shake my hand out, before getting out of the ring and heading back up the ramp and backstage. I sit back down next to Alex once I get back to the room. Alex is grumbling as he puts his arm around me.
"...thinks he can mess with my fiancee..." He mumbles under his breath.
"Which is why I did what I did. Thank god tonight's the only night we're here."
"Yeah."
Then we sit back and watch the rest of the show. In the meantime, Aly and Mike are already at Dancing With The Stars, sitting in their seats in the front row right next to the dance floor. She's looking around curiously. She has one hand resting in her lap while the other hand is laced with Mike's, their joined hands resting on his thigh. She watches as a special stage is set up, this wall-like thing on it. She wonders what's going on, but then she sees a bunch of people walk out. At first she didn't know who they were until she got a good look at one of them.
"Heyyyy..."
She nudges Mike and points subtly. He looks over at them all as she points.
"Looks like they're one of the musical guests. I know you're happy." He smiles.
"Definitely." She beams.
They wait a while, until the show went live and was introduced. Then the guys were introduced and they both joined everyone in standing up to watch the performance. She's singing along, having heard the song already. Some of the dancers are involved in the performance, and after they go away, they end the song back over by the stage. Aly claps, beaming.
"That was great." She says to Mike.
"It was." He agrees, clapping himself.
"And to think that you didn't like the Boys before." She teases, giggling.
"I changed my mind, I can do that you know." He laughs.
"I'm just teasing."
Then while the hosts were talking, Nick looks around at the crowd and notices Aly standing there, so he gets off the stage and comes over hugging her.
"Hi Nick." She laughs.
"I didn't know you were gonna be here." He states.
"Mike and I are here to support Chris."
"And I didn't know you guys would be here either." She adds.
"Surprise?" He laughs.
"Dork." She shakes her head in amusement.
"We're performing again tonight, just letting you know."
"Great!" She smiles.
"I love the new song by the way."
"Thank you, glad you love it." He smiles.
"You better go, they're waving for you." She giggles, and then he looks over.
"Yeah I see that. I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay, bye Nick."
"Bye guys." He says, walking back over to the guys so they can head backstage until later.
"He's a dork, just like you." She says to Mike and they sit down.
"I think my dorkiness rubbed off on him all those years ago on Smackdown." He chuckles.
"Nope, I've been following the band for years, he was a dork way before that."
The first round of eliminations came up, but Chris wasn't in that group of people. The night
went on and Chris was in the bottom two, which was bad. After the commercial break, the
suspense was killing everyone. But in the end Chris ended up getting booted off the show.
"Awww. Poor Chris."
They play a video package of Chris' journey through the show and all his amazing
moments. After that was done, he danced one last time, but not really he was just walking
around the dance floor as the music played that he danced too.
"Well I guess he'll be able to come back to the WWE earlier than he thought."
"I guess so."
"I hope he comes to Raw."
"I hope so too, we need him there considering the amount of people we lost."
She nods in agreement.
"Come on, let's go backstage. We can hang out and talk to him for a bit before we head
back home."
"Okay." She agrees, linking hands with him.
They get up as people start to leave, and head backstage to find Chris. Mike finds him and
pulls her over.
"Hey Chris." She greets.
"Hey you two." He replies, exchanging a man hug with Mike before hugging Aly.
"It's really too bad that you're done. But at least you still have the WWE." She says.
"Yeah, I'll try to be back in the WWE as soon as I can."
"Hopefully you'll be on Raw, we need good people after what they did with the draft."
"Yeah I heard about that."
"I feel bad for Carly, Alex got drafted."
"Oh no..."
"Yeah."
"We almost lost Lyssa too." Mike adds.
"Oh wow." Chris says.
"Uh-huh, I was the first draft pick that Mike got and second to last pick of the night. I was
almost beginning to think I was going to be stuck on Smackdown."
"Well now you don't have to worry."
She nods. Then Chris and Mike start talking, she stands there quietly until she spots Nick
and the other Boys. She squeezes Mike's arm before making her way over to them. Nick's
back is turned to her, so she sneaks up behind him and taps his shoulder, moving out of
the way that he would look. He looks that way and then she moves as he turns to look the
other way. The other guys notice her trying to hide from him, and they all laugh.
"What the hell?" Nick says, a little frustrated.
She laughs and finally lets him see her.
"Should've known it was you."
"Yes, you should have." She grins.
"Hey guys." She adds, turning to look at the others.
"Hi Aly." They say, laughing.
"Great performances tonight."
"Thanks."
"Like I told Nick, I love the new song."
"And we're all glad you like it."
"So where's Carly?" Brian asks.
"Alex had an appearance so she stayed with him. I don't think she wants to be away from
him for any longer than she has to, especially since he just got drafted to the other show."
"Awwww."
"Yeah. I almost ended up on that show myself but I got drafted back at the last minute."
"Well that's good."
She nods.
"So, the wedding is coming up pretty fast. You must be excited."
"Oh yeah. Definitely getting more excited."
"We can't wait ourselves."
"I'm glad to hear that. Its going to be amazing, pretty much everything is done, just some
minor details are left to settle."
"That's great."
Then Mike comes over and greets the guys, but says that they should both get going and
head back home for the night. She nods and gives the guys hugs before sliding an arm
around Mike's waist and leaning into him as they leave. They walk outside, then get into the
car and head back to the condo.
