Alexis sighed as she pulled the Jeff Hardy arm bands up her arms. It had been an emotional week and Alexis just wanted to get this match over and done with. She still had and hour and a half left before the show even started. All she was focused on right now was get her face paint done, which she would do herself, and kicking Amy's ass into next week.
There was a knock at her locker room door and she told them it was open. Phil walked into the room with a small in his hand and a smile on his face. "Hey, Lex, lookin' good." Alexis had the Hardy look down pat. Her partially red hair really sold it. She also had black and red arm bands. She wore a black tank-top with black pants that hid her knee pads. She even had the bright red belt around her waist. Her boots were identical to Jeff's. Phil knew how Alexis felt about dressing up as him, put she knew that wasn't going to affect her performance in the squared circle.
"Thanks, Phil." She gave him a small smile. She looked at the box in his hands and raised an eyebrow. "What's up with the box?"
"It was sent to my locker room, but its got your name on it. And before you even ask, no, I don't know who its from." Phil handed her the bow and watched her eye it carefully. After a minute or so Alexis began taking the tape off the box and opening it up. As Alexis saw the content of the bow, her face went pale. "What is it?" Phil asked, the worry he felt clearly evident in his voice.
"Face paint…Jeff's face paint….I saw the exact same bottles when I was at his house…" There was a folded up piece of paper at the bottom of the box and Alexis pulled it out and read it out loud so Phil could hear.
"I heard you were still going through with the 'dress up as me' thing so I figured I could spare so face paint to help you out I made sure to get favorite colors in there and the color you would most likely use. And Lex, I'm sorry about what happened between us. It was a mistake and I'm so so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I'm really really sorry. – Jefroxx"
Alexis looked down into the box where at least 10 bottles of paint were. Red, blue, black…her favorite colors and the other basic colors like purple and green and yellow. As much as she hated it, she felt a smile tug at her lips. "Are you okay, Alexis?"
Alexis looked up at Phil who was still standing there with a worried look on his face. He knew that just the though of Jeff could shake her, but getting face paint and a note form him, Phil didn't have a clue how she'd react.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm actually really good right now." For some reason Alexis felt at peace about the whole Jeff thing. She didn't know why, it was just this flood of forgiveness that was over her. All the depression about Jeff disappeared. "Now if you'd excuse me, I've got some painting to do." She said with a smile on her face. The first smile she'd smiled since her confrontation with Adam 3 days ago.

"Wow, Alexis, you never told me you were an artist." Mike said as he looked over Alexis' face and her paint job. It was made up of red, black and white paint and took up her whole face. It looked, well, amazing. It looked like it had come from the king of face paint himself, Jeff Hardy. It was just as abstract and creative as any of Jeff's.
Alexis smiled as she looked up from the table she was sitting at. "I'm not an artist, Mike." Alexis took a sip of her water, making sure it would mess up her art work. She knew well enough from all of Jeff's matches that the paint was quite durable, but she wanted to make sure it was perfect when she walked out from behind those curtains and down that ramp in a hour.
"Coulda fooled me." Mike sat down and started talking about random topics. As Alexis and Mike talked in catering they didn't know that they we being watched from afar.
Adam looked on, his anger seeping in as he saw Alexis dressed up as the younger Hardy brother. He thought he was a little to hard on her the other night, but it was nothing she didn't need to hear. Adam tore his eyes away from Alexis and walked back to his locker room. He had to get ready for his triple threat TLC match with Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio and Kane. As Adam walked down the hallway he passed Randy, not showing the least bit interest in him. Adam then though about what Randy had said Monday. 'You won this one, but believe me on Sunday, there's nothing you're gonna be able to stop it.' Adam though about it for a moment, but then shrugged it off. At the moment, he really didn't care what happened to Alexis.
Randy walked into his locker and saw Amy sitting on a bench, tying up her plans. "You call. Something about me match tonight with Anderson." Amy looked up and made eye contact with Randy. A chill going down her spine as she looked into his icy blue eyes.
"Hurt her." Randy moved closer to Amy and now her was towering over her. Know matter what happen in that ring, no matter who wins, I want you to hurt her so bad she'll be forced into the hospital."
"First up, Vince wants Alexis to win the match and secondly, I was already planning on putting her ass in the hospital." Amy said with a smug smile on her face that matched Randy's.

"The following is a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship!" Justin Robert
s voice rand throughout the arena as the fans began to cheer. Amy/Lita was up first and as son as her theme started to play, there was nothing but boos heard from the fans which made Alexis smile. She waited in the gorilla position for her cue. She watched as Amy made her way down to the ring, feeding off of the hate the crowd was giving her.
Amy had just reached the ring when Alexis felt and arm wrap around her shoulder. She looked to her side and smiled at who she saw. "Its been a while since we talked now that I'm thinking about it."
"Yeah, it has. I just wanted to come and wish you good luck and be careful." Jay kissed her temple and relished his grip on her as her music began to play. Alexis looked back once more at Jay who was smile smiling. She smile in return and then headed out of the current, grabbing a microphone.
As she got to the ramp and the fan noticed how she was dressed, they cheered even louder, which she didn't think was possible. She queued for them to turn her music off. "In honor of one of my best friends, I decided to dedicate this match to him and because who doesn't want to act like freakin' Jeff Hardy for a night!" With that Alexis dropped the mike and Jeff's theme began to blast through the speakers located all around the arena. A huge smile broke out across her face as she did his routine and swayed in and out from underneath the ladders. She reached the ring and jogged up the steps. Once she was in the ring, she looked up at her Intercontinental Championship hanging a good 20ft above the ring, then she looked at Lita and felt the hatred stir inside her. Alexis looked away from Lita and hoped up on the seconds ropes and mimicked Jeff. After she was done she stood in the one corner while Amy stood in another.
"Introducing first, from Stanford, North Carolina…Lita!" As Justin Roberts announced this the arena filled with boos once again. It didn't seem to faze Lita as she moved towards the middle of the ring, glancing up at the championship a couple of times.
"And her opponent for Calgary, Alberta, Canada, she is the current Intercontinental Champion…Alexis!" This time the crowd cheered as loud as they possible could, given Alexis a shot of adrenaline and a boost in confidence.
Justin Roberts left the ring, leaving just the two women looking up at the title. As soon as the bell rung, their eyes locked and they knew the battle had begun.
The two women had been battling back and forth for a good 15 minutes. Alexis had a slight edge over Lita throughout the match, but at the moment Lita had controlled. Alexis was dazed and seeing stars at the moment as she lye in the ring. Lita slid back into the ring with two steal chairs. She placed one under Alexis wrist/hand and raised the other about her head. Alexis still oblivious to it all until she felt her wrist crack under the force of a steel chair that Lita had brought down on it. Alexis yelped in pain and pulled her hand to her chest, wanting noting more to protect the injured had.
While Alexis was distracted over her pain, Lita slipped out of the ring and set up a table just outside the ring, having plans to us it later. Alexis pulled herself together faster then Amy figured she would, but Alexis played possum and still remained down in the ring. When Lita slipped back in and got close enough, Alexis quickly stood up and preformed a roundhouse kick t on her and Lita crumpled to the ground. There was already a ladder in the ring right underneath the championship and Alexis knew that if she went for it now she would win, but she had other plans.
Alexis had already preformed a Hardy Boyz style leg drop off a ladder to Lita earlier in the match and now was her chance to finish things off. Alexis pulled the already set up ladder, that had to be 16ft high, to one corner and pulled Lita, who seemed half unconscious, to the middle of the ring. Alexis then climbed up the turnbuckle and up the ladder. She climbed till she got to the last rung and was standing on the very top of the ladder. It wobble, but she knew it would. As she looked down at Lita, she saw how far down it was and began to have second thoughts, but the ladder gave a slight jerk from her leaning slightly forward and Alexis went for it. She preformed a perfect Swanton bomb onto Lita from 16ft in the air. She felt the effect of it as soon as she wen to get up and felt pain shoot through her back.
Alexis grabbed the ladder she had just dived off and brought it to the middle of the ring. She tossed Lita out to ringside and then made sure the ladder was aligned with the IC title and slowly made her way to back up the ladder, her body hurting all over. He wrist was screaming in pain and so was her back, but she kept going. When she reached the top she had trouble at first unclasping it since her hands were shaking, but she managed to get it undone and hugged the title, not wanting to let it out of her grip. The bell rung and Justin Roberts announced that she had won and that she was still the Intercontinental Champion.
Alexis had another huge smile on her face as she sat on the top over the ladder and hosted her retain title in the air and the WWE Universe cheered. Amy looked on from outside of the ring, holding her ribs, with a scowl on her face. Amy looked on the other side of the ring and noticed that the table she had set up was still there. Amy looked between the table and Alexis and come to the conclusion that if she tipped the ladder backwards, Alexis would go right through the table.
Amy snaked her way in the ring, unnoticed by Alexis. Amy took the bottom rung and lifted the ladder so it titled backwards. Alexis was caught off guard and couldn't manipulate he body so that her landing wouldn't be as painful. Alexis crashed thought he table, her head the barricade on the way down. Alexis was unconscious before she even hit the ground.
That seemed like it hurt lol.
