How Taking Down Legacy Failed

"Baby! Baby!" I heard Ted calling, we all were going down to the lobby to have breakfast, we were just getting to our table. "Baby!"

"What?"

"Look" Ted whispered, he pointed to the table next to us; I followed his finger to see a police man. I looked back at Ted and shrugged. "Ask him if I can try on his hat!" I laughed at him, his face remained straight. "I'm being serious go on!"

"I'm not going to ask him!"

"Pleaseeee"

"No"

"You're looking pretty today…."

"Still no"

"I thought true friends by Hannah Montana was our theme tune"

"Yeah, it is"

"Well then!"

"The answer is still no Ted" He started to pretend to cry. "You're pathetic!"

"I know, help me" He opened his arms for a hug.

"Moving on!" Cody butted in, stepping in-between Teddy and me. "Where is Randall?"

"Well, Mickie's skirt is rather short today…" Ted said, we all gave him weird looks. "He is probably pleas…"

"Don't say it" Becky cut him off. "That's my brother, I don't want to hear that and that's probably not what he is doing"

"That's what I would be doing…" Once again we all gave him weird looks. "What? I'm single" He held his hands up and then winked at me.

"Oh my god!" I heard Becky screeched, I looked to see a green huge bug right in front of me, as a reflex I jumped up and let out a short scream, I felt someone's arms behind me, I let out a surprise shrink and jumped to turn around.

"Mickie, it's just me!" Randy laughed, I panted and pushed him. "What's wrong?" He then asked me with concern. "Mickie…?" He asked again coming forward and putting his arms around me.

"B..b..bug" I told him, pointing to the table, he looked to the table and let out a sigh of relief.

"You had me worried for a second there"

"Hello little buddy" Ted said stroking the bug. "I'm going to call you Fiona"

"Get rid of it!" Becky yelled.

Cody grabbed a salt shaker and squished the bug. "No! Quick Mickie! Give it first aid!" Ted looked around. "Becky, mouth to mouth!" The bug continued to wiggle. "FIONA NO!" So Cody once again raised the salt shaker and this time, finished it off. "No! You killed it!" Ted screeched. "You defied its body and murdered it!" Ted looked around again. "Police! Mr Policeman" My eyes widened, the police man sitting on the table next to us lifted his head up. "A crime has been committed"

"Ted" I growled. "Sorry" I smiled innocently at the police man.

"Murderers" Ted muttered and leaned back in his chair. "All of you!" He looked down at the dead bug. "Fiona, noo"

"I didn't murder it! I was a witness" I stated.

"Well baby, with your co-operation we can bring these guys to justice!" He glared at the group. "Fiona will get justice"

"Why would you call a bug Fiona?" Cody asked him with a weirded out look on his face.

"The bug looked like a Fiona" Ted shrugged.

"How can a bug look like a Fiona?" Becky asked him. I frankly wasn't surprised so I didn't feel the need to say anything.

"I'm sorry, is it illegal to call a bug Fiona?" He hissed at her.

"Is it illegal to kill a bug?" She retorted.

"Murder is illegal, ACTUALLY" He slumped back in his chair victoriously. "What would you call it anyway Miss know it all"

"Dead" She smirked at him.

"My rage is building"

"So, last night" Cody spoke up as it went quiet for a bit after that. I looked over at Randy, who briefly looked up when Cody said that. "What are you going to do about it?"

"Not much we can do" I replied softly, I didn't really want to talk about it as I knew it upset Randy. "He is giving me the first script tomorrow"

"How long will it go on for?" Becky asked me, I think she wanted to know a lot more than she was letting on, but everyone knew Randy was unhappy about it.

"I spoke to some of the creative writers this morning, it's not actually going to last that long, thank god" I tried to look on the bright side, I was actually terrified about the first script and I knew from Randy last night, how restless he was when going to sleep, he was too. What if this causes a drift between me and Randy? What if John gets all crazy again? I was going to talk about it to Randy today, I couldn't bring it up last night, I wanted to give Randy the night to think about it, I want to know how he is feeling about it and I want him to know that nothing will change the way I feel about him. I was also going to put John in his place. I bet he was loving this, hoping that it would drive a wedge between me and Randy, I am going to prove him wrong.

"So Ted" Cody said.

"So killer?"

"Are you going to keep calling me that from now on?" Cody groaned.

"Yes, killer"

"Killer sounds quite cool actually" Becky said grinning at Ted.

"It does, but do you know what I prefer? Dashing" Cody leaned back and smiled showing off his teeth. "Dashing Cody Rhodes" We all laughed at him. "Dashing" He whispered. "Dashing Cody Rhodes"

"Well, Dashing, breakfast is on you"

"Mickie, we can expose these guys as the murderers they are!" Ted nudged me.

"Let it go Ted, let it go"

"Fiona needs justice!" Ted slammed his fist onto the table.

"Hush your gums" I told him looking at the menu.

"Let me think about that…NO! Now quiet woman, don't make me smack you" Ted clicked his fists at me jokily.

"I'd like to see you smack me" I said to him giving him a challenging smile.

"Fine! When I can be bothered to move from this chair, I'm on my way. I'd have some ice on hand if I were you"

"For the drink you're going to buy me, thanks" I grinned.

"Aww, so optimistic" Ted said in a patronising voice. The group looked back and forward towards me and Ted, Cody pretended to do the microphone stunt again.

"Mickie, what is your response to this?" Cody said in a presenter's voice.

"Well, Dashing, Ted, You know me, ever the optimist"

"And meanie" Ted stuck at his tongue.

"WHAT, I'm lovely, in fact, I don't know anyone lovelier"

"And there's that shining modesty. You're still mean"

"No, I'm lovely" I responded. "Which is more than can be said for you"

"I am a very lovely and giving person, I was born on a Friday" Ted pointed out, I looked at him confused.

"Thank you for that irrelevant piece of information about your birth date" Was the only thing I could think of to say.

"Do you not remember the rhyme?" He asked me in shock.

"No" I shook my head.

"Mickie doesn't know a piece of (fairly) general knowledge…shocker!" He cleaned his throat. "Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for a living. The child that's born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny, blithe good and gay. "

We all went quiet for a moment. "Wow Ted" I spoke up. "That's great"

"You guys have such interesting conversations" Randy said for the first time since we spoke about the storyline with John, he chuckled a bit.

"You should have been there the other day, we were on you tube and me and baby over here, have couple videos!" Ted announced.

"Couple videos?" Randy asked.

"Yeah, like what life would be like if we were together" Ted told him. "Like one was how Randy turned me against Mickie"

"Were there any of Randy and Mickie?" Cody asked.

"Hell yeah, there were even some of you and Mickie!" I winked at Cody.

"I'm probably going to regret asking this, but is there any of Mickie and Sheamus?"

"Unfortunately not" I put my bottom lip out. "If there was I would have already burned it to a CD and given it to him by now"

"There are a lot of John and Mickie" I groaned as Ted said that. Ted was on his internet phone looking at some of them. "There is even one where I'm abusing Mickie and John saves her! It's the other bloody way round!" He yelled at his phone. "On the plus side, I look hot, damn…"

"Ted" I interrupted his dreaming of himself.

"There is a love triangle between me, Cody and Mickie"

"Enough Theodore! Tell them what you discovered on Urban dictionary Ted" I smirked and starred at Cody, I wanted to see his reaction.

"Oh yes, Codykins" Ted put his phone away and matched my smirk. "You see, I looked up Edward Cullen on Urban dictionary and you know what it came up as?"

"An inspiration to many?" Cody replied.

Ted ticked with his tongue. "Oh no, A psycho who goes into girls bedrooms to watch them sleep. May or may not sparkle"

"That's just one opin…"

"FICTIONAL sparkly pansy vampire whose only purpose of being is to drop the panties of any girl dumb enough to actually think this fuck is romantic and sexy. It goes on to say" Ted leaned back all smug.

"Alright then, search Jacob"

"Like anyone would have a bad word to say about him.."

"Search him" Cody told him firmly.

"It says 'The guy from the twilight series by Stephanie Meyer who took Bella in and unzombified her while that asshole Edward was away' things aren't looking too good for Edward Codykins"

"Give me that!" Cody snatched the phone out of Ted's hands. "AHA! It also says 'A pansy werewolf in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. Thinks he's so hot and wants to have little puppies with the whiny-ass Bella Swan. He also has an anger-management problem'"

"Give me my phone back" Ted growled.

"Oh wait, there is more 'The annoying and pointless character (after New Moon ended) that couldn't grasp the fact that Bella Swan, is not, in fact, in love with him- but Edward Cullen'" Cody smirked. "Things aren't looking too good for Jacob Tidying" Cody mocked him.

"Give it to me!"

"'He ends up totally butchering the series in finality, when he 'imprints' on a newborn baby, thus earning his title as paedophile'" Cody continued to read. "People will see him on the streets Ted and they will be like 'Whoa that guy is stalking that kid' And the other will reply 'Yeah, that would be Jacob Black"

Ted snatched his phone back and went into a sulk.

"Yeah, don't mess with me" Cody told him sternly.

"You're the reason that people should practice safe sex" Ted mumbled.

"What was that Ted? Edward rules? Oh believe me I know" Ted stayed quiet. "Oh and I bet Justin Beiber is also your dad"

"Don't insult my mom" Ted sneered and stormed out from his seat.

"Hit a nerve with that Justin Beiber comment" I said breaking the awkwardness.

Becky's P.O.V

I couldn't help rolling my eyes, "Dashing."

"What's wrong with 'Dashing'? You're the one who always calls me that."

"Only when I'm teasing you!"

"Well, I think it has a nice ring to it," Cody smirked, "Dashing Cody Rhodes."

"I think 'Idiotic Cody Rhodes' sounds better," I told him sweetly.

He gave me a dirty look but I just smiled innocently. He glared at me for a little longer but I just carried on smiling, so he eventually tutted and gently kissed me.

"You're lucky that you're… well… you."

"Aw, you'll make me blush." I teased.

"Good," he grinned before wrapping his arms around me and gently kissing the top of my head, "Mine or yours tonight?"

I shrugged; trying to ignore the guilt stabbing at my stomach, like always, "It doesn't really matter. Either way, one of us will be sneaking out at six in the morning."

Cody raised an eyebrow at me, "You know that some of the others get up early-"

"I know," I reassured, hoping I didn't sound too annoying, "we went to mine last night, so what about yours?"

"Yeah but my room is right across the hall from Randy's."

I smiled, "True but he'll probably be with Mickie."

Cody considered this before nodding, "That sounds all right then!"

I gently unreleased myself and made for the door, "We should probably get back to the others. We've been gone a while-"

"No one will be suspicious except for Mickie," Cody disagreed, grabbing my hand and pulling me back towards him.

"That's bad enough!"

"Oh shush," he dismissed, gently kissing my hand, "you worry too much."

"I'm not the one with anything to lose." I pointed out.

"Shush." He wagged a finger disapprovingly before kissing me properly. I drifted off into that for a while before I felt his lips smile

"What is it?"

Cody looked almost… embarrassed, "I just… really enjoy being with you," he said in a rush.

"You're so… dashing," I giggled.

"See, it's catching on already!"

"You're such a dork."

"A whale's penis?"

"Oh, har har, so funny."

"I know!"

This was why I loved being with Cody. One minute we could be talking about the dark memories of our past, the next we could be making out, then talking about whale penises. It was always… unexpected.

"The argentine blue-bill duck has the largest penis in the word," I told him.

Cody blinked at me, "How do you know that?"

"Ted told me."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"Why are we talking about animal penises?"

"Why not?" Cody grinned cheekily before pulling me back into a kiss. However, before we could get into it, a knock on the door made us both jump.

"Look natural!"

Cody immediately posed, "Is this okay?" He whispered.

"Natural!" I hissed before pulling open the door. Ted stood there with a goofy smile on his face.

"Hallo!" Ted greeted, "Mickie and Randy went to make out and I couldn't find Cody anywhere, so I thought I'd come and hang out with you."

"Great. I'm your last resort!"

"Don't be silly, my last resort is Sheamus." He beamed.

"Okay…" I said slowly before opening the door more and hoping that Cody had put his shirt back on, "Well Cody is here."

"Cody!" Ted looked surprised, "What are you doing here?"

Cody ran a hand through his hair, "Just hanging out."

Ted didn't seem to find anything weird about this and rubbed his hands together, "Let's ditch the bitch and go do something!"

"Ditch the bitch?" I repeated indigently.

"Oh, Rebecca!" Ted smiled and gently put a hand on my shoulder, "It was a compliment!"

"How is it a compliment exactly?"

"A bitch is a dog, dog's bark, bark is part of a tree, tree is nature and nature, my dear," Ted flashed his 'best' smile, "is beautiful. So, you're welcome for the compliment."

I just stared at him.

"Or… not." He smiled nervously.

"I'd back away if I were you. She's scarily like her brother when she wants to be," Cody whispered.

Ted gulped and took a step backwards.

I, however, just flicked Cody off," I don't have my brother's temper though!" I turned my back on Ted and plonked down next to Cody. Ted let himself into the room and then threw his arms out.

"What should we do? The three amigos? The three lonely ones! The three single ones!"

"Cody's not," I pointed out, ignoring the squirm in my stomach.

"Well, she's not here so technically he is single!" Ted disagreed; he then tapped me on the head, "Cody! We should set her up with someone!"

"What?" Cody frowned.

"Apart from one incredible time," he pointed to himself, "she hasn't had any action since she's been here! We should set her up! She would like that, don't you think?"

"'She' is going to slap you if you keep calling her that," I added.

In some ways, I was quite glad about what had happened between Ted and I because it meant that we had become good friends and I didn't feel awkward around him. Things worked in the strangest way.

Cody looked uncomfortable, "I-I don't think Randy would like that."

"She'll die single if she doesn't try!" Ted exclaimed, "I mean," he quickly corrected, seeing my expression, "you'll die single if you don't try to get with someone! Randy cant hold you back!"

He didn't need to tell me about dying single!

"That's okay, Ted," I smiled, "I'll pass."

"Now, now, don't be stupid!" Ted waved a hand, "Cody and I will find a good guy for you to be with!"

"Really, I don't want-"

"No arguments! Cody, who do you think?"

Cody had a strange expression on his face. He cleared his throat slightly, "I think we should respect her wishes."

Ted looked shocked, "Codykins!"

Before he could say anything, his cell rang and he picked it up. He glanced at the caller ID before getting to his feet, "It's Ashley," he shot me an apologetic look before disappearing into the bathroom.

Ted perched himself down next to me and threw an arm around my shoulder, "Now, Becca," he gently tapped my nose, "leave it to uncle Ted. There has to be some desperate guy in the WWE- Ouch!"

"Desperate!"

"Let go of my ear!" Ted groaned, trying to bat me off, "I didn't mean desperate! I meant… loving!" I released him and he rubbed his ear, "What about that guy you work with? Jude?"

"He's gay."

"Or maybe he's just saying that," Ted said sympathetically, patting me on the head, "OUCH!"

We wrestled for a moment before I heard Cody voice's sounded frustrated, "I can't help it if I'm travelling all the time! Maybe you should make the effort for once," he snapped, "I do have a life, Ashley, it can't just revolve around you!"

As I pinned Ted down, I tried not to let a stupid, guilty pleased smile slip onto my face.

Mickie's P.O.V

"Hey Randy" I tugged on his arms and let the others go ahead so me and him can talk. "Don't you think its about time we talked about the storyline?" He sighed obviously wanting to avoid the whole thing and pretend like it didn't happen and that its not going to happen.

"Ok, come with me" He took me by the hand and let me back downstairs and then outside.

"Where are we..?" We got to the place where I always catch him smoking. "Oh Randy" I groaned. "Why?"

"When I get stressed out, I smoke, it calms me down" He told me pulling a cigarette from his pocket. "You don't happen to have a lighter do you?" I gave him an obvious look. "Oh right… oh wait, don't worry, I got one"

"I should really hide that thing" I muttered turning away.

"What was that?"

"Nothing" I turned and smiled at him. "So yeah" Randy held his finger at me gesturing me 'One sec' I rolled my eyes as he put the cigarette in his mouth and started to light it. He took the first puff and gestured me to go on. "Ok, I'll be honest, I have no idea what to say to you" He took my hand and made me face him, I put my hands on his chest. "We can get through this right?"

"Of course we can" He whispered and leaned his forehead against mine, I tried to hold my breath, not because of the spare of the moment, but because of the smell of ash. "I won't let him hurt you"

"You can't protect me all the time, you know that right?"

"I can try"

"But you can't Randy, I love that you want to do that, but you can't blame yourself every time something happens to me" This caused him to take another puff.

"What do you want me to do? Just stand back? I can't do that Mickie, you've seemed me, I can't help it, it's like I'm protective mode all the time, I can't just stop"

"I love your protective side"

"You do?"

"Yeah, I think it's sweet" I put arms around his neck. "You just need to know that you can't protect me from everything, sometimes I'm going to have to go through things on my own"

"Ok" He looked down. "I get it"

"No I don't think you do" I lifted his chin up and kissed him softly.

"Just to let you know, if he hurts you, I will kill him"

"That's fine by me" I smiled. "C'mon lets go back upstairs"

"Hold on, let me finish this" I glared at him "It's finished" He smiled cheekily, he held out his hands to me and I took it. "Did I ever tell you about the time, before we met you, Ted got absolutely wasted one night and wandered off on his own, he came back the next morning, stumbling in and went 'I don't know where I have just been, but I think I rode a horse'"

"I am honestly not surprised"

"I am" He replied, I gave him an odd look. "I mean, Why aren't you in the kitchen?"

"Randy when are you going to shut up and stop being so sexist!" I wagged my finger at him.

"I don't know, when are you going to shut up and make me dinner?" He retorted grinning.

We went back to the hotel room, everyone looked up as we walked in, Randy let go of my hand and went over to Becky who was kicking, Ted came over to me.

"Baby!" He opened his arms, he stopped right in front of me. "You smell like ash" Randy turned around in hearing this, I glared at him.

"It's him! I've been framed!" I pointed at Randy. Ted gave me a disbelieving look.

"We must kick you of this habit"

"It wasn't me!"

"I will get you one of those patch things!"

"If anyone needs a patch thing it's him! I do not smoke!"

"Denial" Ted whispered to the rest of the group.

"I heard that!" I growled, I went over to Randy and slapped his arm. "Your fault!"

"It's not my fault you smoke" He scoffed, he went to walk and away, but he turned just to wink at me.

"When did you start baby? Why do you feel you have to smoke?" Ted interrogated me.

"To answer your stupid questions Ted, I don't smoke! Nor have I ever tried it!" I stamped my foot.

"That's great and all Mickie, but the better question is what are you doing out of the kitchen?" Ted said smugly, he received a high five from Randy. "Get in the kitchen bitch and make us some dinner"

"I hate you all!" I yelled and made a dramatic exit into the bedroom. I was going through my draws when I felt someone hug me from behind, I looked over my shoulder to see black hair. "Codykins?"

"Yeah?" He mumbled into my back.

"What's up?" I turned around and hugged him face on.

"Wanted a hug" He shrugged. I was about to break the hug and pinch his cheeks when…"Don't pinch my cheeks"

"Dammit, owned" I smiled at him.

"I had an argument with Ashley" He told me, laying down onto my bed. I laid next to him.

"What about?"

"She said we don't see each other often and I guess that is true, but what can I do? I already took a few weeks off to see her a bit ago, I can't take anymore time off and she won't travel round with me"

"Codykins, are you sure you want to be with Ashley?"

"Why do you think I don't?"

"Well…Becky?" I whispered just in case some of the guys were listening in. He buried his head into my pillow, I take it that was still a problem!

"Baby" We heard a soft voice at the door, "Should Randy be worried?"

"Should I?"

"Yes!" I yelled through the door.

"We will continue this later" Cody told me, I went to pull him back so we could talk more, but he sent me a reassuring smile that he was ok, I sighed and laid back in the bed. He opened the door, walked out and Randy walked in. He grabbed my legs which were in the air.

"He lasted much longer than you" I told him.

"Ouch!"

"Damn right, noob-styley" I got up to walk away, but he pulled me back and kissed me.

"Shower?"

"Yes" Randy pulled me hand and led me to the shower. "But not with you" I grinned at him. "Oh Ted!" Randy laughed and pulled me in with him. "My clothes!" I splashed the water at him.

"Mickie, I…"

"Yes?"

"Nothing, just nothing"

"I hate it when you do that"
