Chapter Five – Outside Interference
Glen Cove High, Long Island, NY 1pm
Marion Cena covered his mouth as RJ showed everyone the photo Rebecca Michelle text to him of Kelly Kelly touching Hunter's hair (from Heaven). They were scheduled to do another commercial for Hair from Heaven later on in the week proving that Hair from Heaven was completely safe after Stephanie gave the press conference at DX Inc explaining how it had been poisoned by a TNA employee.
"Whatever you do you cannot show that to Aurora," Marion said but RJ shook his head.
"It's not Aurora we should be concerned about it's her big sister Lisa. Remi text this picture to me after my mom sent it to Lisa and her mom to stop Joanie from going to TNA. Kelly Kelly's going to get her butt kicked whether Aurora knows or not," RJ said as Aurora and Beth Hardy came up to them.
"Whether I know what?" she asked and RJ showed her the picture of Hunter and Kelly Kelly. "What is my dad doing with Kelly Kelly?"
"Saving his marriage, Kelly is actually doing God's will right now," RJ said.
"How is Kelly Kelly getting her butt kicked God's will?" Beth Hardy asked.
"Because it's LC that's going to do the butt kicking and she has the authority to do it," RJ said.
"I'll say this is a butt-kicking waiting to happen alright, you don't know how upset my sister was when she found out her mom wanted to divorce my dad. It took ages for mom to calm her down," Aurora said.
"Is the press conference still going ahead?" Marion asked Aurora and she nodded.
"Yeah mom is going to make sure Tristen Nash is held accountable for poisoning that Hair from Heaven stuff," Aurora said.
"This thing with Tristen is so weird," Marion said resting his arm on RJ's shoulder. "Mickie James said he's calling at big meeting at TNA HQ to talk about a new acquisition that he made yesterday, do you think that's Chyna?"
"Not after she sees this, there's no way Joanie's letting Kelly Kelly move in on her territory, she loves Uncle Hunter too much, they'll be back together before you know it" Aurora said and RJ shook his head in disagreement.
"That's true about Kelly Kelly but Aunt Jo's not the acquisition that Tristen made, he bought out Ring of Honor and he's going to leave TNA today," RJ said.
"Doesn't Chey work for Ring of Honor?" Beth asked Aurora who nodded that she did.
"That's why Tristen bought it out, he wants Chey to work for him and now she can without going to TNA," RJ explained and Aurora shook his head.
"He found a loophole to get around Uncle Shawn, this guy is determined to get on the wrong side of DX," she said.
"Cheyenne won't be the only one working for him, everyone on the current talent roster at ROH will be part of a new company," RJ said.
"So he's leaving TNA to start a new wrestling promotion?" Aurora asked RJ who nodded.
"Yeah and this promotion is going to be run by Tristen and with Cheyenne and they are going to compete directly with TNA and WWE," RJ said reluctantly and Aurora couldn't believe her ears.
"RJ are you telling me that after everything Uncle Shawn and Cameron said to her about Tristen, Cheyenne still wants to compete with him against her own father?" Aurora asked in shock and RJ sighed.
"There's more Ro-Ro, she won't be the only family member working for this new promotion. Over the next few weeks Tristen is going use his talent relations to recruit members of the WWE's roster's family to be part of his new roster," RJ said.
"Who is he going to recruit?" Beth Hardy asked.
"Angelica Copeland and the A Twins to start off with and then he'll go for you two," RJ said.
"Us?" Aurora and Beth said in unison.
"That's not going to happen, is it?" Marion asked them and they both shook their head defiantly.
"We gotta get to that press conference," Beth said to Aurora.
"But we can't skip class," Aurora said.
"So what are we going to do?" Beth said.
"Let's call Jeff and tell him what RJ told us maybe he can fly down to the press conference and tell Stephanie what Tristen's got planned," Aurora said and Beth took out her cell-phone and called her father while Marion talked some more to RJ.
"I'm worried about Cheyenne, she's gonna catch a lot of heat for doing this," Marion said.
"Don't worry, Romeo's with her and he's gonna do everything he can to make sure she's alright," RJ replied.
"That makes me feel a little better, I remember when Romeo used to live with me and my dad he's a great kid," Marion said but there was something sad in his voice.
"Something on your mind?" RJ asked him.
"Yeah, can you come home with me after school? I want you to tell my mom what's going on," Marion said.
"Remi," RJ thought. "I wanted to hang out with her after school but I guess this is more important,"
"You're always hanging out with her, why don't you give the girl a break?" Marion said.
"You wouldn't say that if you felt the way I do about her," RJ replied and Marion rolled his eyes.
"I guess I don't fall in love as easily as you guys do, Aurora and Steve Borden are just as bad as you. To me love is like a bad cold; it's just something you have to get over," Marion said.
"Said the guy who would climb Mount Everest if it would make his father love him," RJ said and Marion fell silent.
"Why doesn't he love me RJ, why does he hate me so much?" Marion asked him but instead of replying RJ just gave him a smile followed by a hug which spoke more than his prophetic words could.
Meanwhile at Patrick's house in Jamaica LC and Joanie were on their way to put a certain Diva into cardiac arrest for putting her hands where they didn't belong. Shawn was still at the airport waiting for his wife to come home and Randy chuckled at his nervousness.
"Relax Shawn she'll be here," Randy said as Shawn paced back and forth.
"Why is she taking so long?" Shawn said.
"Just be grateful you're waiting here with me and not back at the house with Hunter, you don't wanna be at Pat's house right now," Randy said.
"Why what's going on there?" Shawn asked.
"Joanie's coming home and Hunter's by the pool with Kelly Kelly," Randy said and Shawn's eyebrows rose off of his head.
"That's why you wanted me to come here to the airport, you didn't want me to get mad at Hunter for being so stupid, ha-ha!" Shawn said laughing.
"Why are you laughing this is all Hunter's fault, he should have been paying attention to Joanie instead of making stupid hair products with you," Randy said.
"Chyna shouldn't have left, she's been in the Kliq long enough she knows what Hunter's like," Shawn replied wiping a tear of laughter from his eye.
"Shawn there's Amy," Randy said as Big Red came up to them with Edge.
"It's about time," Shawn said but he refused to look at her and suddenly things weren't so funny.
"Hello Shawn," Amy said gently.
"Hello Amy," he replied with his back to her. "Did you enjoy your trip?"
Amy sighed, "You can't even look at me can you?" she said.
"I will not discuss this with these two here, let's get going," Shawn said and Amy dropped her bag on the ground angrily.
"That's enough, no more Kliq nonsense Shawn if you don't stop acting like this I'm going back to Florida with Edge!" Amy snapped.
"No you're not!" Edge said and Amy frowned at him. "You have to stay here you're under a court order,"
"Fine I'll stay come on Randy let's go, I call shot gun," Amy said walking passed Shawn and suddenly the airport began to get really, really hot.
"Uh-oh," Edge said airing himself out as the temperature rose to an uncomfortable level.
"I don't think leaving with Randy is such a good idea Big Red, I'm your husband. Do I need to remind you whose bed you sleep in at night?" Shawn said and Amy's hair flared up in hot locks above her head, now her Righteous Indignation was activated.
"We sleep in the same bed Shawn I didn't know it had your name on it," Amy replied.
"We'd be in that bed right now if it wasn't for you running out on me in the middle of the night, I certainly hope you got all of this disrespect out of your system because things have got to go back to normal between us," Shawn said.
"You can't tell me what to do, we're partners," Amy said.
"No we're not, we're not even on the same level, since when was that a problem for you?" Shawn said.
"Since you started acting like a bonehead!" Amy cried and a light panel fell from the airport ceiling to the ground and all the electricity went out.
"Easy guys we're in a public place," Randy said.
"Stay out of this Randy," Edge said.
"We can't let them keep arguing with each other we're supposed to be in hiding," Randy replied.
"So what do we do, me being here is what's got them so mad," Edge replied.
"Guys please come on we have to go now," Randy said the air was so hot Randy was sweating through his t shirt but Amy and Shawn weren't listening they were locked in their own mutually resentful condition.
"Kiss her Shawn come on you know you want to," Edge said to HBK.
"No I don't I'm too mad," Shawn replied.
"Well if you don't I will," Edge said and Amy gasped.
"What?" Shawn said angrily.
"Why did you say that Adam?" Amy asked her former fiancé angrily.
"Grab her!" Edge said to Randy and he picked up Amy and ran with her to the car while Edge grabbed Shawn by his shirt and got in his face.
"Put me down Adam," Shawn said firmly.
"Not until you listen to me; you are not going to do this you are not going to lose Amy because of those stupid bylaws. You're going to respect her and you're going to love her do you understand me?" Edge said and Shawn's Righteous Indignation abated and the temperature went back to normal. Edge was relieved. "Phew, I thought I might burn up for a minute,"
"Come on you two let's get out of here!" Randy called to them and Edge dragged Shawn and jumped into the Hummer and went back to Patrick's house.
"Why didn't I burn up when I grabbed you?" Edge asked Shawn.
"Because you were right and I was wrong; Righteous Indignation only works when I'm right," Shawn said straightening out his shirt.
"You know I would never interfere in your marriage on purpose but after what Amy told me Shawn I knew I had to say something. Those bylaws are arbitrary they only act as a guideline why are you enforcing them now?" Edge asked Shawn and HBK's heart sank and he leaned forward into his hands and cried.
"Because I don't want to lose my little girl," he said and he wept over his knees. When she heard him crying Amy jumped into the back of the Hummer, wrapped her arms around Shawn and cried along with him while Edge hopped into the passenger seat next to Randy.
"Is there something I don't know Randy?" Edge asked him quietly.
"Yeah there's a lot going on and none of it is good, I'm praying for the courage to tell Shawn about Tristen's latest blow and believe me when I say this one is gonna affect Shawn in a real big way," Randy said as they pulled up to Patrick's house where an outraged Chyna was pulling the hair of a terrified Kelly Kelly.
"Hunter get her off me!" Kelly cried trying to pull herself free but it was no good, Joanie was too strong.
"Hunter what's going on, you can't let this happen Kelly Kelly is one of our employees!" Shawn said jumping out of the Hummer and running over to Joanie. "Let her go Jo!"
Shawn jumped on Chyna's back and she swung him around much to Trish and Randy's amusement.
"He looks like a Ferris wheel," Trish said but Amy didn't think it was so funny. She ran over to them and pulled Joanie and Kelly Kelly apart with her hot hands.
"Everybody needs to calm down things are getting too crazy around here," Amy said and she hugged Kelly Kelly who was very angry about her hair being pulled and asked if she was okay.
"That's what you get for trying to seduce my husband," Chyna said.
"You left him to go to TNA. Why do you care about who he spends his time with now?" Kelly replied.
"I hadn't even left his side for more than a day! I didn't mean to leave him I made a mistake, this is all Tristen's fault he tricked me!" Joanie replied and she turned to Hunter, "Hunter I'm so sorry, please forgive me,"
Hunter had watched the whole thing go down between his wife and Kelly Kelly while Shawn was at the airport and he came to a decision while he watched his wife pull at her hair and shake her back and forth like a rag doll.
"I'm going to give you time to think about what you've done Joanie. You showed your true colors by leaving my side and Kelly showed hers by being by my side when you decided I wasn't good enough for you anymore. You proved yourself disloyal and Kelly showed herself to be loyal and now I don't want you anywhere near me or my company. Get out of here," Hunter said and Shawn's mouth dropped to the floor while LC fell to the ground and wept. It pained Hunter to see LC so upset but Joanie had broken the bylaws and he had no choice but to let her go.
Shawn looked at Amy who thought for a second that could have been her, then Shawn held her hand and pressed it lovingly to his lips, the Kiss of Life soaked through her fingers and she closed them around his and smiled. Even though he had used the Kiss of Life on her again she couldn't stay mad at him. All Shawn wanted was to prove that no matter how bad things were between them he was never letting her go. Amy believed him and she intended to put that vow to the test today.
