How Taking Legacy Down Failed

It was my first day at Smackdown and hopefully it would be my last. I didn't want to be here and that was no secret and I was determined to be sent back to Raw. Things had just picked up between me and Randy and then I had to leave? I can't stay here, not while knowing that there is a chance for me and Randy to be together. I had just arrived at the arena and I had planned to go straight to Teddy Long's office and I was not going to take no for an answer. Like I said, I couldn't stay here and no one was going to stand in my way. I was nervous; I mean there is only so much I can push him to send me back, what if he doesn't? What if he refuses? I didn't want to stay here, I couldn't stay here. I was now outside his office. I hesitated; I was scared at what the response would be because if it's a no, then that's it. I mean, I would push and push, but I can't push too much that could make me loose my job. It took me awhile to get the courage to go in; I was planning what I was going to say in my head, I repeated it over and over to make sure I was sure. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

"Mickie James! It's a pleasure to see you on Smackdown playa" Teddy greeted me. A wave of guilt pushed over me, I felt bad, he was greeting me nicely, trying to make me feel like I was at home, but here I was asking if I could go back to Raw. Ah I'm a bitch. I smiled at him, but then I noticed it wasn't just me in his office. Beth was there too. I wanted to speak to Teddy alone, I didn't want her here!

"What are you doing here?" She snapped at me. She is so bloody rude! Another reason why I don't want to stay here! I wonder why Beth was actually here, did she not want to be here either?

"I could ask you the same question" I snapped back. Oh yeah, smooth Mickie, smooth!

"I'm here to ask to go back" She said, my eyes widened, he isn't going to send the both of us back, so I needed to say it now or it was never.

"I was going to ask to go back" I said looking at Teddy. We both stood there, Teddy stared at us both. I wonder what he was thinking, hopefully he wants to keep Beth here and send me back! I would not be offended at all! I wanted to go back and be with Randy. We both know we couldn't have a long distance relationship, it wouldn't work and I don't think I can bear to be away from him that long. Now I've had a taste, I don't want to give up.

"You both want to go back to Raw?" Teddy asked us. More then anything in the world! I thought to myself.

"Yes" We both replied at the same time. We then looked at each other and glared. Why did she want to go back? You would have thought she would like fresh competition.

"I just can't do that" Teddy said. My heart sank. I didn't want to stay here. I couldn't stay here. I didn't belong and it wasn't home. Being with Randy, that is what home is. I couldn't give up, I wouldn't. That can't just be it, there has to be more too it. I'm not staying here! I actually wanted to cry, I wanted to go home.

"Can I ask why?" I asked, part of me wanted to hear the answer, the other part I didn't want to know.

"Well, I just had the two best divas transfer over here, I don't want to loose them" Teddy replied, Beth stood still for a minute before punching the wall. Talk about anger issues. I didn't want to be here either but you don't see me punching walls!

"URG!" Beth screamed in frustration and stormed out. Unlike Beth, I wasn't giving up so easily.

"Teddy I can't stay here, I belong at Raw" I told him, he thought for a moment, is he considering sending me back?

"Is it because you have a certain someone back there?" I thought for a moment, if I say yes he may let me go back, but I can't tell him it's Randy.

"Yes, John Cena" I lied, he looked at me in shock. Hopefully Teddy doesn't speak to John and tell him I said this or I won't hear the end of this!

"I didn't know you two were a couple" He said, oh crap, I thought for a moment.

"We're not, but just before I got transferred things were going so well and I was hoping to get back to that" I lied, he nodded. Wow, I'm good at this whole coming up with something on the spot thing!

"Well I can't send you both back, maybe one, but I take it neither of you can make that decision so I'm sorry" I nodded and left. What else could I do? I didn't want to get fired so I couldn't push him any further. I walked down the corridor to see Beth in a huff.

"I don't want to be here as much as you do" I said to her, she looked at me.

"Then why don't we work as a team to get off this show" She said to me, I was shocked, she wanted to work with me?

"You and me? Working together?" I said to her still in shock, she nodded.

"If I want to get off this show I can't do it alone and besides Randy would kill me if I didn't bring you back" She said to me, my eyes widened again.

"What does that mean?" I said innocently.

"He thinks bringing you down will bring down DXMJ like how he always bothers you in the ring, he said it's the only way so meh" She shrugged.

"So what's the plan?" I asked her. So Randy told her to get me back on the show, that's really sweet, oh great, I miss him even more.

"I don't know" She replied running her hand through her hair. We are screwed, I leaned against the wall and slid down, I would do anything to go back to Raw.

"I've changed my mind" We heard Teddy's voice, we both stood up straight.

"Tonight, there is going to be a match, Mickie James versus Beth Phoenix and the winner gets to go back to Raw" Me and Beth both looked at each other. Beth had beaten me in the past, but I had also beaten her, we both wanted to back to Raw so this wasn't going to be easy.

"It's going to be a 30minute iron man match, who ever gets the most pins will be sent back to Raw" Great, 30 minutes with Beth. I'm doomed. Teddy walked away, me and Beth stood there starring at each other.

"Ok, now I have a plan, if we get a draw then he will have to send us both back!" Beth said to me, it made sense and it could work. We both shook hands and went to prepare for our match.

I changed into my ring attire and warmed up. I hope Randy was watching because I'm doing this for him!

I stood in the gorilla position, Beth went past me and winked as if to suggest to remember our plan, I smiled back and waited for my music. I skipped down to the ring, slapping as many hands as I could. I stood waiting; I saw Beth come down to ramp, we both circled each other waiting for the bell to go off.

It was 25 minutes into the match, it was 1-1 and that's the way it was going to stay. Me and Beth were going easy on each other, the moves we used, didn't hurt so it was all going fine until, she performed her finisher on me which hurt like hell, she then pinned me and it was 2-1. I looked at her confused, I pushed her back.

"I thought we had a plan" I snapped at her.

"Yeah, but my plan differed from yours" She snarled. I kicked her in the midsection and this time, I made sure it hurt. I threw punches at her, I wasn't going to loose out, I wasn't going to stay here while watching her going back to Raw. She grabbed my arm and threw me into the ropes, I did a reverse round kick and she fell to the ground. I went for the pin.

"1, 2..." She kicked out. I looked up at the time, 4 minutes.

I tried to pull her up, she grabbed my hair and pulled it and flung me to the mat. Ouch. She pulled at my leg; I screamed in pain, the referee pulled her off as I grabbed the ropes. She tried to pull my feet back, but I kicked her, she had to catch her breath, I used this time to my advantage, I performed my finisher.

It was now 2-2. Two minutes to go, I just needed to keep the score the same or get a point for myself.

I slid out the ring, she tried to get to me, but I decided to waist time in running in and out the ring. Once I was in, she crawled back in, I stormed on the making her scream. She ran towards me and clothesline me.

1 minute left and she had the upper hand.

She tried to pin me, but I kicked out straight away, she performed her finisher, went for the pin, but I wasn't giving up.

Twenty seconds left.

She put me into a submission hold. I just had to hold on for twenty seconds. I screamed in pain, I tried to reach for the ropes, but she just kept pulling me back. Only ten more seconds, c'mon! It's for Randy. She pulled at my legs harder, five seconds.

I heard the bell ring. I then heard Teddy Long's music play. I remained on the floor watching him as Beth was still standing.

"Well playas, you know I can't send both of you to Raw and since you can't decide this way, so I have to decide" I held my breath as he spoke.

"Beth Phoenix" He called out, my heart once again sank and I felt helpless. I was going to have to stay here, how could I loose? I wouldn't give up; I was going to keep trying!

"You are staying put" He then smiled to me.

Was I going back to Raw? Please say I was going back to Raw! C'mon Teddy! Do the right thing!

"Mickie James, you are going back to Raw" I crawled out of the ring away from Beth, she wasn't happy; however I was more then HAPPY! I was going back! I was going back! I wonder if Randy has seen this?! He doesn't normally watch Smackdown, but maybe because I moved he decided to watch it. Hopefully he hasn't so I can surprise him on Raw! I wonder what made Teddy change his mind? Oh who cares, I was going back!!! Back to Randy! I wonder if he heard the good news!

Backstage

No one's P.O.V

"Mickie James will be returning to Raw" Teddy Long said into the phone.

"Thanks Teddy!" The other person on the other end said.

"No problem, you must really like her if you're turning in your title shot for Mickie to come back"

"I sure am"

"Later Playa"

"Bye Teddy"

So who is the mystery man who gets Mickie back on Raw?
OH, do you know in the last chapter? The IM part where she completely embarassed herself and that came from when I did that with my ex crush? I'm about to go to a sleepover where he is going to be there! I haven't seen him since that happened, so wish me luck!
Thanks for all the reviews! Give me some to come back to
