Ravyn looks at her best friend expectantly. JJ's face is a mixture of amusement and concern. Before either of the girls can say anything though Dolph chimes in, "Dude, that was kinda hot."
JJ slaps his arm with playful seriousness. "Are you sure you're ok with this storyline?" She worries.
Ravyn shrugs, "I'm a heel. The world already assumes I'm a terrible person. Might as well make money with it."
"I'm just concerned with how people are going to treat you," JJ explains. "Internet trolls and dirt sheets are relentless when it comes to celebrity gossip."
"They can gossip all they want. This angle is the most action I'm getting anyways," Ravyn huffs. "It'll be fine."
They chat for a little longer until Dolph has to get ready for his match. Ravyn returns to the locker room to change into her street clothes. When she's done she checks her phone to discover that her Twitter has started blowing up again after their vignette had aired. The video clip had already been shared a few thousand times when she clicks the link. She smiles to herself. At least all of the attention was good for the company. As the show nears its end she meets up with Tyler and Dango to go back to the hotel.
Upon their arrival the boys head up to their rooms. Ravyn stays in the lobby a bit longer to mooch the free WiFi and check her email. After clearing out a seemingly endless amount of social media mentions she decides to open up Instagram. She holds up her phone to take a quick selfie, begrudgingly trying to keep up with the office's social media demands. Seconds after posting the photo the likes and comments begin pouring in. Some of them are genuinely nice words of encouragement on her recovery. But the majority of them are either creepy guys hitting on her desperately or people telling her how much of a slut she is. Then there's also the ones asking how long she's been sleeping with Tyler and Dango. She shuts the phone off and stands up from the couch in the lobby. On her way to the elevator she catches a glimpse of AJ at the Concierge desk. She smiles at him and gives him a little wave. When he sees her he shakes his head and sneers with disgust turning the other way. Perplexed, she taps the button for the elevator and goes up to her room.
"Ugh, I'm so happy to be home," Ravyn exclaims as she carefully flops onto her couch Wednesday morning after a very early flight. Her shoulder is held together by a much smaller brace than she had been wearing before. "Thanks for helping me with my bag friend!"
"Any time!" JJ smiles. "I'm just glad we have two whole days off!"
"It's a Christmas miracle!" Ravyn joins in her friend's excitement. "Do we have any plans for this mini vacation?"
JJ ponders briefly, "I think Broski wanted to get us all to go to Disney with him."
Ravyn rolls her eyes, "Of course he does."
"It'll be fun," JJ giggles. "I'm pretty sure Tyler is coming, too."
"That's a miracle in itself!" Ravyn snorts. "When you figure out plans just let me know. I'll be ready." Ravyn watches her friend fidget impatiently. "Oh, just go. I know Dolph is waiting upstairs"
"Thanks," JJ smiles sheepishly.
Ravyn just laughs as her friend zooms out the door back to her apartment. Left to her own devices Ravyn spends the day relaxing and texting Tyler about their upcoming Disney adventure.
Tyler knocks on Ravyn's door early the next morning. She lets him in and continues to get ready while they chat.
"Zack has not stopped texting me about Disney," Tyler tells her.
"He misses you," Ravyn reasons. "That and he's crazy."
Tyler chuckles, "Are JJ and Dolph meeting us here?"
"Yeah, go ahead and text one of them," Ravyn suggests from the bathroom where she's touching up her makeup. "They should be down any minute."
Before he gets a chance a key jingles outside and the doorknob turns. JJ lets herself and Dolph in. After living together when they first started in NXT Ravyn insisted that JJ keep her key when she ended up moving to her own apartment upstairs. Dolph smiles when he sees Tyler on the couch and plops down next to him. JJ leaves them to go find Ravyn finishing her makeup.
"Hey friend, almost ready?" JJ asks with a yawn.
"Yep," Ravyn laughs. "I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb today."
"Well you ARE the palest person on the Smackdown roster," JJ confirms as she takes a look at Ravyn's dark makeup paired with a black tank top and shorts. "That and there isn't a goth punk princess at Disney. I mean we can bring you to the Villains shop, but the rest of the place is full of bright sun-shiny happiness."
Ravyn scowls, "Gross."
The girls giggle like school kids and meet the boys in the living room. Ravyn tosses JJ her car keys and the group is on their way to Disney World. They park in one of the huge parking lots and hop on the Monorail. Zack Ryder is waiting for them at the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. He hands out tickets to everyone and leads them through the front gate. They spend the early hours knocking out the rides with the longest lines. After their third time on Space Mountain they start to just wander through the park. JJ and Ravyn take a picture with Merida from Brave and send it to Becky.
Ravyn and Tyler soon begin to mock JJ and Dolph by taking romantic couples pictures at all of the random photo hotspots themselves. They pause in front of Cinderella's castle to take a picture of them kissing and decide to immediately upload it to Twitter.
"Oh! There's totally a place where you'll feel a bit more at home Ravyn!" Zack recalls excitedly. "The Haunted Mansion!"
"Now that sounds like a wonderful place," Ravyn smiles.
Zack leads them to the creepy entrance of the ride and JJ starts to snicker. "This is the only place all day where I think you've looked even a little normal," JJ howls with laughter.
Ravyn sticks her tongue out at her friend and just enjoys the dark spooky atmosphere of the ride. They browse the gift shop full of creepy ghostly items on their way out of the park for the first time. Zack herds them onto the monorail and gets them on their way to EPCOT. Once inside the park they head directly to the World Showcase.
"Should we start in Mexico or Canada?" Zack asks vaguely.
Naively JJ responds, "Start what?"
Zack grins like a fool, "Drinking around the World!"
Ravyn, JJ and Tyler all share an excited look before shouting "Canada!" in unison.
"Oh, right," Zack says quietly. "I forgot that that was a thing."
The group begins their drinking adventure at the Canada pavilion. They snack and drink their way through the eleven countries represented. By the time they reach Germany they're completely bombed. They're all taking ridiculous pictures. JJ and Dolph keep sneaking off every now and again, but somehow manage to keep up with with everyone else. Tyler and Ravyn keep uploading risqué pictures to their social media accounts. As they round out their tour of wordy alcoholic beverages Zack insists that they return to the Magic Kingdom to catch the end of the night fireworks display. They follow him to the monorail and back to the other park. The Magic Kingdom is way more crowded than it had been earlier in the day, but the cover of darkness gets them less recognition.
Ravyn drags Tyler off to sneak in one last ride on the Haunted Mansion before the show begins. They lean on each other a bit as the walls seem to close in on them at the beginning of the ride. Soon they're seated close together in their Doombuggy. As the ride twists and turns through the mansion pushing them together with every spin the alcohol takes over and Ravyn can't stop herself from kissing Tyler. For a few minutes they're making out pretty hot and heavy until Tyler's better judgement prevails.
"We can't," he whispers breathlessly. "I don't want to ruin what we have."
Hurt, but knowing he's right Ravyn just nods her head. The ride deposits them back at the front of the mansion and they set off to meet their friends on Main Street USA. Zack points excitedly at the castle as the show begins. The five of them watch intently as the impressive fireworks show begins. Jealousy twinges through Ravyn as she watches JJ and Dolph snuggle close together while they watch. The buzz wears off and the show comes to an end. Knowing they've all got an early morning flight to catch they leave the park and head back home for the night.
