"Here's your winner, Maryse!" The announcer called. Maryse let the referee raise her arm in victory. Maryse just won her match with Alicia, and was now helping her up as they walked backstage together.
"Maryse!" Mike called, running up to her.
"What's up Mike?" Maryse asked, drinking some ice cold water.
"Nothing, I was just wondering if you have a date for the Homcoming dance?"
Maryse laughed. "Nope."
"Well I was wondering if you'd like to go with me?" Mike gave her a sheepish grin.
"Uhm, I'll keep my options open," Maryse said, before patting Mike's cheek. "But right now you seem like a shoe-in." Maryse winked before walking back to the girls locker room.
Maryse was sitting peacefully by Alicia during detention until a note lightly plopped onto her desk. She picked it up and started to read.
Heard Mike asked you to Homecoming, what'd you say? ;) -E
Like it matters to you Mr. Has A GF c(= -M
Well I'm gonna be going with my gf to the dance, so you'll find out who she is. -E
Good for you! =P Don't forget about the recital. -M
Don't worry, I have everything ready. I'll just hope Christian showers quickly. -E
Maryse folded the paper and put it in her pocket.
"Hey buddy!" Edge said, patting Christian on the back after the practice.
"Hey man," Christian said, panting. He took a long drink out of his water bottle.
"Dude, I need to be somewhere, and I need you to come with me, so you have 5 minutes to shower and 5 minutes to get ready, so go! Now!" Edge said, nudging Christian towards the locker room.
Christian started to jog even though he was totally confused. "I thought practice was over!" He called over his shoulder to Edge.
Edge laughed, trying to catch-up to Christian. Christian took a quick shower, threw on his clothes, and took his stuff out of his locker in 8 minutes, breathlessly meeting Edge at his car.
"Good job, here's you're water." Edge passed the panting Christian a water bottle. "Now get in the car and let's go!"
Christian jumped in the passenger seat, throwing his backpack to the back before closing his door and putting on his seatbelt. Edge did the same, turning on his car before speeding carefully.
"Okay, where are we going? And why are you in such a rush?" Christian asked.
"Oh, you'll see." Edge smirked.
Kelly waited her turn. Only 1 more people before the big grand finale. Which was her, since she was the best in the town. But it is a small town.
Kelly searched the crowd. She'd been in a thousand recitals, but she's always nervous because her songs get tougher and tougher. She found her dad sitting in the middle area, giving her a thumbs up. She smiled at him then searched the back, and found Maryse! Kelly would have fallen if she wasn't sitting.
Maryse winked at her before nervously checking the time.
Kelly hadn't even realized it was her next. "And now, last but most certainly not least, Kelly Kelly!" Kelly made her way to the piano, taking a deep breath.
"Dude, get out of the car!" Edge ordered. Christian did as he was told, running after Edge.
"Why are we at a church?" Christian was completely confused now.
Edge opened the door gently. "Just get in!"
Christian walked in, looking around to see a hand waving them over. Christian slipped into the nearest aisle, which was the back, and sat next to Maryse, followed by Edge. Christian looked up at the front of the church.
"Is that Kelly?" He asked, completely awestruck by the way she was dressed and looked.
Maryse shushed him before Kelly started to play her medley.
Christian couldn't even describe it. It was as if he was in a field of flowers, at peace with the world. All he could hear was the playing of the piano, and he could feel Kelly's presence by his side. He was watching clouds, then closing his eyes until the final notes played. As soon as she was finished, Christian stood on his feet and clapped loudly. She got up and bowed, smiling when she saw Christian.
"All right, that's it for tonight! Thank you all for coming, please, help yourselves to another round of refreshments before leaving."
"Ahh!" Kelly said, rushing to the three. "You guys came!" She said, hugging Maryse.
"Couldn't leave a pretty lady hangin'!" Edge joked, giving Kelly a hug.
"Thanks Edge," Kelly said with a giggle, pulling back.
"Uhm, you were just, wow." Christian was speechless, making Kelly blush as she gave him a hug. Christian hugged her back.
She smells really good, Christian thought, closing his eyes and taking a silent sniff.
A manly coughing made the two pull apart.
"Daddy!" Kelly said, hugging her dad.
"Kelly, you were wonderful as always. Now aren't you going to introduce me to your... friends?" Her dad asked.
Christian could swear Kelly's father was glaring at him. He got a little intimidated, and stepped back a little bit, pushing Edge forward.
"Hello Mr. Kelly, I'm Maryse," Maryse introduced, shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you, I've heard from you before, I think. Last year, right?" Maryse nodded.
"Mr. Kelly, I'm Adam Copeland, better known as Edge." Edge introduced, shaking the man's hand.
"Oh yes, the one who had a project a month or two ago with my daughter." Mr. Kelly gave Edge and Maryse a small smile before turning to Christian.
"Uhm, Hi, sir. I'm Christian Cage." Christian stuck out his hand.
Mr. Kelly looked at his hand for a minute before scoffing. "Never herd of you." Before looking Christian dead in the eyes. Christian flinched, making Mr. Kelly laugh.
"Dad!" Kelly said, pushing him a bit.
"Okay, okay. Sorry Christian, I was only kidding," Mr. Kelly laughed, then shook Christian's hand with a death grip. Christian bit his lip as to not wince.
"Shall we go get some refreshments, then?" Edge asked.
"Why yes, we shall." Mr. Kelly turned and leaded them all to the refreshments table.
Christian stood next to Kelly in line, picking up a muffin and putting it on his dish.
"Kelly, your dad scares me." Christian confessed.
"Come on, he's only kidding. I bet my dad love you." Kelly assured.
"Tough Love," Christian mumbled under his breath, but loud enough for Kelly to hear. Kelly laughed.
"I hope I'm not intruding?" Mr. Kelly asked, getting in between the two.
"Why, not at all!" Christian said, nervously scratching the back of his head.
"Kelly, you're friend Maryse asked if you wanted to go over after refreshments to her place and sleepover? I'll hve to leave right now."
"Sure," Kelly said with a smile, hugging her dad goodbye.
"And you," Mr. Kelly turned to Christian, who was frozen for a second, then smiled at him. "I have my eyes on you," He warned, before walking away.
"Why me?" Christian asked Kelly, who shrugged. "By the way Kelly, you look beautiful."
Kelly blushed. "Thanks, you think so?"
Christian laughed. "Yes! If you dressed like this to school, the guys would be swooning!"
Kelly laughed. "Thanks."
"No problem!" Christian and Kelly took their dishes and sat with Maryse and Edge.
"Well isn't this just nice?" Maryse asked Edge.
"Oh yeah, it's so cute." Edge replied.
"What?" Christian asked.
"Oh, nothing," Edge said, winking at Maryse. Maryse laughed.
Kelly shrugged at Christian. "So I'm coming over tonight Maryse?"
"Ohh, sounds fun! We should come!" Christian joked.
"I would if we were invited." Edge said seriously, looking at Maryse.
"Okay, so we'll stay up all night braiding Edge's long hair, doing Christian's nails, doing everybody's make-overs, and talking all night long about boys!" Maryse said.
"Uhh, I'll pass." Edge said, shooing the thought with his hand.
"Count me in on that, brother!" Christian said, high fiving Edge.
This one was a longer chapter, so I hope you liked it =D
