How Taking Down Legacy Failed
Mickie's P.O.V
"Look what the cat dragged in" Ted said gesturing to Edge who was down the corridor from us.
"It's your fault he is here in the first place!" I replied. This week on Smackdown, Edge went from being the sweetest guy to a complete ass, everything he did was lies! He also ruined Randy's match!
"I'm sorry for winning" Ted hissed jokily at me. "Let's go confront him" I nodded in agreement, we hadn't bother anyone for awhile, this was a good chance. Randy may be pissed though. He told me to stay away from Edge. Randy was going on the Cutting Edge tonight, that shall be interesting to watch. I don't know if Edge knows about Randy and me. We walked up to Edge with our arms crossed and serious looks on our face. He turned around to see us starring at him darkly, he raised his brows.
"Can I help you?" He asked, taking the cap off his water.
"You lied to us" I said to him, gesturing to what happened on Smackdown.
"Disappointed" Ted tutted at him. Edge looked at us weirdly. "I trusted you Edge, I trusted you and you took advantage of that, I was a fan Edge, a big fan, SPEAR SPEAR SPEAR!"
"Yeah Edge" I emphasised on his name. I turned to Ted. "That isn't even his real name, he lied about that too"
"Thank you Captain Obvious" 'Edge' snapped at me. I glared at him.
"Your welcome Lieutenant Sarcasm" I retorted.
"Mickie" I turned around to see Randy coming in our direction. He looked between me and Edge, he glared at Edge. "C'mon lets go" He told me, Ted just stood there like he was hoping for a fight. Edge just stood there, a smirk plastered on his face. He pushed me behind him and squared up to Edge.
"Men" I muttered to Ted. I heard my name mentioned between Edge and Randy, my head shot up. What were they saying? Randy looked angry.
"Hit a nerve with that one haven't I?" Edge said smugly to Randy. I put my hand on Randy's chest.
"Let's do what you said, let's go" I whispered to him, I looked up at Edge who was smiling at me. He twisted his fingers into my hair; I starred at him in disgust.
"Such a pretty little thing" He said, Randy pulled me back. "Spear" He then spat at Randy, he laughed, sent me a look before walking away. Randy stood there watching him leave. I looked to see Ted was gone, where did that bugger go?
"Randy?" I tugged on his shirt; he looked down at me angrily.
"I thought I told you to stay away from him" He snapped, I looked down. "You need to listen to me when I tell you this stuff because I'm telling you for a reason; I can't always be there to protect you"
"You didn't need to protect me" I told him. "Ted was here"
"Yeah? Where is he now?" He retorted.
"In the bathroom" I lied. He shook his head.
"What am I going to do with you?" He chuckled softly; he put his arm around me and walked me back to the locker room. "Out of interest, how do you spell chores?" I looked at him oddly.
"C-h-o-r-e-s" I replied. "Why?"
"I was debating it with Becky earlier, for some reason I thought that there was a u in it" I laughed at him.
"That would spell chorus"
"This conversation never happened" He said sternly, before laughing along with me. I laughed, until I stubbed my toe.
"OWWW" I cried out. Randy looked at me before laughing. I pouted at him and pretended to look upset.
"Bless" He patted my head.
"Mr patronising" I mocked him and patted his head. He looked around before pulling me into an empty locker. "Hmmm" I teased backing away from him as he tried to kiss me. He pouted at me. "Nope" I turned away; he pushed me and slapped my ass! He is such a child…oh the irony! "That was crossing the line babe"
"You loved it" He grinned and winked stepping towards me.
"So didn't *shifty eyes*" I described my actions like Ted and Cody did that time!
"So did, just admit it Michaela"
"Oh are we back to that, are we Randall?" He winced as I called him that. "You know, my full name isn't actually Michaela, it is just Mickie"
"Shut up and let me have my name for you"
"I'm just saying!"
"Just kiss me"
"I'M BACK" Ted sang as he walked in.
Randy groaned. "Bad timing Ted"
"Did I interrupt the sex talk again?" Ted grinned. "And flipping hell Mickie, do you shrink every time I see you?"
"You know what Ted, our sex talk is not all that it seems" I told him. "And very funny"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah"
"So what is it?"
"Well basically when I was with Becky, me and Randy were texting, he texted me, fuck you and I replied where and when, so then…"
"Does this have a point?"
"Let me finish, so he said Tonight, our room, be there, so guess what we did when I got there?"
"You had sex obviously…."
"No, we baked cookies"
"You picked baking cookies over sex? Your such a woman" Ted said to Randy.
"Would you take that back if I told you she was cooking topless?" Randy asked him.
"Yes, yes I would, was she?" Ted asked amazed, he looked at me.
"No, I didn't!" I protested.
"Would have been cool though" Randy shrugged.
"And hot" Ted continued.
"Well, sorry, that's not going to happen"
"Well, why not?" Randy asked.
"Yeah! Why not?" Ted asked, they both leaned forwards.
"Because, it's stupid, let alone dangerous"
"Isn't it worth the risk?"
"No! It's not! You guys are weird"
"She makes women look bad" Ted said to Randy, who nodded in agreement, I glared at him. "Maybe Becky would do it"
"Dude, that's my sister"
"Yeah, but if she wasn't your sister"
"Your sick" Randy said to him, his face screwed up in disgust and stood away from Ted.
"But we were getting on so well with bullying Mickie"
"Yeah and you ruined it, I'm on your side again" Randy told me.
"Ok, you can be cabin boy, I'm captain and Sheamus is Commodore" I replied patting his back.
"Ted, if I went back to being on your side, what would I be?"
"My assistant"
"Yeah, I think I will stay Cabin boy"
"Your loss"
"Oh well" Randy shrugged, he then looked at me. "Come to think of it, you do look shorter"
"We should keep track of her height, just in case she is getting shorter" Ted titled his head at me. "Do you enjoy shrinking?"
"Go away" I told the two of them.
"We will start a Mickie height chart"
"Cabin Boy Randall, stop him! I command you!"
"I'm off duty"
"Your never off duty. You two are such bullies, I'm leaving"
"You should take a bell with you, in case you shrink anymore and we can't see you" Ted joked.
"Your not funny"
"Shut up your small"
"You have nothing going for you! You're a failure!"
"Your wrong, I'm attractive, the women on twitter can't get enough of my twitter pictures"
"Yeah so I saw, one compared you to looking like your dog" I sniggered. (True story)
"My dog is cute, so I guess you can compare us that way" Ted retorted.
"Your cute" Randy told me.
"Cheers, I know" Ted turned around smirking.
"I was talking to Mickie"
"Err yeah… I knew that…I was saying it on her behalf" Ted replied. "I've got to go see Mel…Melissa"
"Who's Melissa?" I asked him.
"A crew member"
"Have I met her?""Well clearly not"
"Can I?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Yeah, I'd like to meet her too" Randy said coming into our conversation, putting his arm around me.
"You've already got a woman" Ted complained.
"Not for that reason" Randy growled. "I already have a beautiful woman, I just want to meet her"
"Well you can't"
"Why not?"
"She is…she's….shy!" Ted told us, me and Randy exchanged looks.
"A shy girl dating a loud arrogant guy, odd match" I said to myself trying to make up the maths.
"You forgot hot" Ted pointed out.
"She's hot and shy?"
"No, I meant me hot, I better go find my woman" Ted left us after saying that.
"Awww, his woman, he must really like her" I said to Randy smiling. I was happy for Ted, I knew he really liked Melina and I'm so glad he is getting over it, he deserves so much better then her.
"You're my woman" Randy leaned down and kissed me gently. "And I really like you" He then looked away like he was mad at him.
"Ok" I chuckled nervously. "I wonder why he didn't want us to meet her"
"Probably worried you would scare her off" Randy joked.
"Can you go back to being sweet now?" I laughed.
"I could do that"
"Good"
"I said I could, not that I would…"
"Why do you have to be technical?"
Becky's P.O.V
"Nice Speedos."
Cody turned around, saw me and laughed, "Thanks. I mainly do it for the male audience." He joked, he wasn't wearing Speedos anymore but he had been earlier, during the show – and so had my brother, which was slightly disgusting, "How was today?"
"Pretty good. I mostly work during the week, instead of Monday night but I still had a lot to do."
Cody rubbed his forehead, which still looked pretty sweaty, "Like the show?"
"Yeah, it was cool. What are you doing now?"
"Well, some of the guys are going to the bar… but that's boring."
"Boring?"
"Yes. I'm in a mood where I want to do something stupidly immature," he grinned pointedly.
"Where are Ted and Mickie?" I asked innocently.
Cody tutted, "Come on!"
Curiously, I followed him into the hotel. Over the past week, I had found myself settling in pretty well. Mickie was easily one of the nicest girls I had met, Ted and I had finally got past the awkward stage and Cody? Well, Cody was the one who I found myself spending most of my time with.
"Cody… where are we going?"
"We're going to do something stupidly immature." We sat down in a television room in the downstairs of the hotel but didn't turn it on. He pulled out his cell phone, dialled a number and waited.
After a few rings, I heard the familiar voice of Big Show, "Hello?"
"Prank calls?" I hissed, "That's a little too immature."
He put a finger to his mouth, "Hello there! This is Radio Station 3FK and your number was entered in our prize drawer! If you complete three questions correctly then you'll win a vacation for four to Australia for six nights!"
"What?" Big Show sounded puzzled, "I didn't enter in any contest!"
"Your number was entered from a man under the name… Mike Miz!"
Big Show actually sounded pleased, "Well that was nice of him! Is this live?"
"Yes indeed!" Cody said eagerly and I smiled in spite of myself, "Now, for your first question: What is WWE wrestler Randy Orton's nickname?"
"Oh boy!" Big Show gushed, "I know this one. I'm a wrestler!"
Cody fake laughed, "I'm sure you are, so, what's the answer?"
"The Viper!"
"Correct!" Cody shouted cheerfully and I had to clamp my hand over my mouth to stop myself laughing, "Question two, what is on the back of WWE wrestler John Cena's orange t-shirt?"
"Is this like a wrestling station or something?"
"No!" Cody's voice was bursting with false enthusiasm, "It's a local station that's celebrating the WWE being here! So, the answer please?"
"Err… You can't see me?"
"Correct!" Cody yelled joyfully, "And finally, for that nerve-racking question… Team Edward or Team Jacob?"
Big Show paused for a minute before saying, "Team Jacob all the way! That werewolf is so much better for her than the stupid Cold One."
"I'm sorry," Cody said in a flat voice, "but that's the wrong answer. You lose. Goodbye." He hung up and grinned at me.
"That wasn't bad." I admitted but took out my own phone, "I have a better idea." I took his phone, compared a number and then dialled.
"I'm telling you, I was on the live radio station! Hello?" Big Show seemed to have been talking to someone else but greeted me
"Hello," I put on a different voice, "This is Sherrie from X-Three Adult Video Store. We believe your rentals are three days late."
"… Excuse me?"
"You rented four videos," I cleared my throat and pretended to read from a list, "Star Whores, Indiana Bones, The Vampire Layer and Arma-Get-It-On."
Cody was practically having fit next to me and there was silence on Big Show's end for a moment, "I'm pretty sure I returned them." He said in a hushed voice.
Cody's immediately ceased laughing and his face was a pure picture of horror.
"Well sorry for bothering you, bye!" I hung up quickly and stared at Cody.
"Was… he kidding?" Cody whispered.
"Either he figured us out or…" I gulped.
We stared at each other for a moment longer before cracking up with laughter and then giving each other a high-five, "The thing I don't understand," Cody said when we calmed down, "Is how you thought of those names so quickly?"
I laughed, "Nathan and I did something like that at Christmas," I admitted sheepishly.
Cody wiped an imaginary tear away before grinning, "What do you want to do now?"
Mickie's P.O.V
"I don't think anyone is in" I whispered to Randy entering the hotel room. Me, Randy, Becky and Ted shared it, but I'm pretty sure they were gone.
"You know, I'm glad we skipped the restaurant" Randy grinned, pulling me to him.
"Let me just check everyone is gone" I told him.
Raw had gone by pretty quickly. I still wasn't put into a match. How long did Vince think I needed to recover? Ted had a match, he was against John Morison who offered to be his Virgil if he lost. Ted won't let me be his virgil, I think I would be a pretty good one! Ted lost. Randy RKO'd Wayne Brady! He also got the chance to RKO Edge!
I stood in front of Ted's room and went in to check if he was there. The lights were off, I heard shuffling. Was he here? I switched the light on to see Ted butt naked on his bed. I could see his…and everything. Oh man was this awkward. He wasn't even attempting to cover anything up!
Ted's P.O.V
"I think Mickie is getting suspicious" I sighed telling Melina.
"I think you should just tell her Ted, I mean, what's the worst that could happen?" Melina asked laying on my chest.
"Err hate me?" I chuckled at her, she didn't know Mickie the way I did. The last thing Mickie would want is for me to get back with Melina.
"You have to stand up to her, she is always trying to control you"
"She's isn't"
"Yes she is Ted and you can't even see it. She is controlling who you see.. What you…."
"She doesn't control who I see" I told Melina sternly.
"Oh yeah? Prove it"
So I kissed her, it wasn't proving anything, but it was getting her to shut up. I split apart from Melina when I heard a door slam.Oh dear lord…they were suppose to be at the restaurant. The only thing I had time to do when Mickie walked in was to shoved Melina under the bed. Mickie just starred at me in shock.
"A man has to do what a man has to do" Was what came out of my mouth, why did I say that? She walked out the room for a moment, I was about to call Melina back out when she returned.
"Bad Ted! Bad Ted!" She started spraying me with water!
Mickie's P.O.V
I walked in and started to spray Ted, why? I don't know! Ted still made no attempt of covering up, just shielding himself from the water.
"Put some clothes on!"
"Why? I have nothing to hide" He grinned and winked at me.
"Put them on!" I threw his clothes which were on the floor.
"I haven't finished yet"
"Ted!" I walked towards him to spray him again when I tripped on something. I looked up at Ted who had a very 'Oh shit' look on his face, he had now decided to put on a robe. I looked under the bed. Did he have a woman here?
I screamed when a face came out, I jumped backwards. Melina
"What the hell is going on here?" Randy yelled entering the room, I backed away from the two of them.
"You, her?" How could he still want to be with her? After everything? She was the reason John got me in the first place.
"Mickie, I can explain" Ted tried to come towards me.
"What the hell are you thinking?" I yelled at him, Randy was starring at the much naked Melina. I nudged him hard, he looked at me innocently. "After all she put you through last time?"
"Mickie…"
"No! I don't want to hear it" I said sharply, I gave him a stern look to show how pissed I was before walking away. Randy didn't follow me, which I think was the right thing, I needed to cool off.
Becky's P.O.V
"Nice one!" I gave Evan Bourne a slap on the shoulder before rejoining Cody, who was wiping his eyes, "I think I win."
"I can't believe I got rejected twice."
I hung out quickly made 'FREE HUGS' sign in the air victoriously, "Well. I'm just surprised that so many guys agreed to hug you."
Cody nodded, "Me too…"
"Now what?" I beamed.
There was an evil smile on Cody's face, "Meet me on the balcony in ten minutes… with water balloons."
Forty minutes later, the two of us sprinted down the corridor, dripping wet and practically paralysed with laughter.
"Do you think he spotted us?"
"Nah." Cody reassured but then peeked over his shoulder, where a soaking Sheamus appeared on the end of the corridor.
"You were saying?"
Cody grabbed my hand and the two of us darted to the top floor of the hotel, trying not to slip, lose grip and fight off a stitch from laughing and running at the same time.
He let go of my hand but the two of us leant against each other, practically nothing more than a giggling heap.
"He won't chase us up here." Cody insisted between bursts of laughter.
"He better not." I clutched my side before straightening up, "Was that ridiculously immature enough for you?"
"Yes!"
"It's practically morning, I can't believe most wrestlers are still awake."
"That's how it is on a Monday night. Sleep all day, work at night and then sleep during the day on Tuesday."
"Sounds fun."
"You get used to it," Cody insisted, his hands on his knees and his breathing jagged, "That was fun."
"And immature." I reminded.
He straightened up and grinned at me.
I looked back at him and smiled gently, our gazes locked.
Then, to my amazement, I found myself leaning close to him – and him leaning right back.
I saw his eyes close softly and followed his lead; our noses gently brushed as our lips pulled together like magnets.
Just as I felt the very tip of his lips touch mine, a noise startled us.
"Cody?"
The two of us sprang apart so quickly that it was like we had been electrocuted.
We both spun around to see Mickie standing there, her face in utter shock.
"Mickie!" Cody said, a little too loudly, "What a pleasant surprise!"
"How good to see you!" I grinned.
Mickie stayed on the spot, a strange expression on her face.
"Err…"
"I have to go." I announced as if I had just realized something, "Well! Have fun you two!" I threw her a fake a smile and quickly hurried past a puzzled Mickie and made my way down to my room, all the time wondering why I had almost just kissed my new friend.
And wondering why it had felt so good when he had taken my hand.
Mickie's P.O.V
So not only did I walk in on Melina and Ted, but I think I just walked in on something happened between Cody and Becky. She is Randy's sister and he has a girlfriend! What the hell is going on! I need to talk to Becky about this, but do I tell Randy?
Becky's P.O.V
I was not the type to do something like this. I didn't even get a date until I was sixteen or seventeen. It wasn't because I was butt-ugly or had an awful personality (at least, I hoped it wasn't!) but it was because I didn't want to. I got asked, I just didn't have time for dating. I was too into photography, the yearbook, my studies and I preferred my friends to boyfriends.
So I had no idea why I had almost kissed Cody.
It had been a day since the 'almost' incident and I had barely seen him because I had been working all day. I wondered if Mickie had seen what had almost happened… and wondered if she'd said anything to him.
I liked him and he was good-looking and, I suppose, mostly importantly, I would have willingly kissed him if we hadn't been interrupted.
Which was why I was doing this, although I was feeling increasingly nervous.
I knocked on the door anxiously and it opened a few seconds later, revealing Cody wearing nothing but jeans.
"Becky." He jumped, "What're you doing here?"
"I just came because… is this a bad time?"
"Erm… no. No, its fine. What's up?"
I took a deep breath, "I was just wondering if maybe you wanted-"
Suddenly, I heard another voice. A female voice. "Babe, who is it?"
Something dropped to the bottom of my stomach but I kept my composure, I didn't even show how shocked I was.
A blonde girl appeared, I recognized her as an ex diva but I didn't know what her name was.
"Hi." I greeted politely. Cody looked increasingly uncomfortable as the girl pushed past him, wearing only shorts and a bra.
"Oh, hey! You must be Randy's little sister. Becky, right?" She checked, so I nodded once, "Cool. I'm Ashley, it's great to meet you." She shook my head and smiled, "I'm Cody's girlfriend but I don't travel with the WWE… I'm just visiting!"
Damn it, she was nice.
"Nice to meet you too." I lied.
"Ash?" Cody prompted.
"Just introducing myself." Ashley rolled her eyes and nodded at me, "I'll see you around, I expect." She disappeared back into the hotel room and disappeared from view.
Cody peered over his shoulder before turning back to me, "Look, I'm really sorry-"
"Sorry?" I pretended to be confused, "About what?"
"Well. Earlier. And not telling you about Ashley."
"Oh. Earlier was nothing. Just one of those 'moment' things. Don't worry about it." I said lightly, "And why would Ashley make a difference to anything?"
Cody studied me for a moment before hunching his shoulders, "I guess she doesn't. So… what were you saying before she came?"
"I was going to ask if… you wanted to go to the bar with… Ted and Mickie and Randy and I but it seems your busy. Don't worry." I desperately hoped he wouldn't ask the others about it because I had completely made that up.
"Oh. Right. Well. Okay. I guess I'll… I'll see you tomorrow."
"Sure." I said lightly, "See you tomorrow." I turned away from him and walked off, trying not to show how much of an idiot I had been.
I've only just started writing the chapters where NXT come into it, Randy goes into protective mode!
Thanks for all the reviews, Keep them coming!LivHardy & Alice Rhodes
