How Taking Down Legacy Failed

"You going to talk to him?" Ted asked me as I was pacing. Randy was so pissed after NXT had gone and the rest of the locker room, I tried to talk to him, but he just shrugged me off and went for a cigarette. I get where he is coming from, I really do, but I can't just sit back and watch like he wants me to.

"Yeah, I just don't have a clue what to say" I felt like I was the cause for all his problems, he gave up smoking when Alana was born, but went back to it just as got together and I hated it, I didn't want to cause him stress.

"Do you think you went too far this time?" It seemed like I had, I didn't get the chance to respond as Randy walked back in the room. Me, Becky, Cody and Ted just starred at him. The smell of smoke travelled around the room.

"Are we going?" He asked, not looking at me.

"Err, yeah, sure" Becky spoke up as no one else did. We were all too scared, no one liked to see Randy angry. Worse for me as I'm the one he is angry at! Randy grabbed his bag and was the first to walk out, the rest of followed a few metres behind.

The car journey was pretty quiet and I hated it. I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel, I was going to take Randy aside and talk to him. I couldn't stand fighting with him. It was the same walking up to our hotel room, no one spoke. "Go get 'em tiger" Ted whispered to me before we walked in our room. "Hey guys! You know, I think I saw something really interesting out there, how about Becky and Cody, you come with me and I can show you"

"Ah man, I'll pass, I'm a little tired" Cody replied. "Thanks for the offer though man"

"You don't understand Cody, it's really important, so just come along" Ted gave him a little push; Cody shoved him and walked off.

"I said no, I don't want to"

He did not take the hint. I gave Becky a look. "I know what he is referring to, c'mon Cody; you're really going to want to see this"

"Look guys, I appreciate it, but I'm not in the mood, I'm tired and I just want to sleep, you go Becky, I'll just stay here" I slapped my forehead. This is something Ted would do not Cody!

"How much do you weigh Cody?" Becky asked him, gazing down his body.

Cody looked confused. "233" He finally replied.

Ted and Becky stood either side of Cody. "We can take him" Ted said to Becky, they heaved Cody up and tried to carry him out of the room.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM! I JUST WANT TO SLEEP! LET ME SLEEP!" Cody screamed, Becky then whispered in his ear. "Oh, well then, let's go see what you have to show me!" Finally Cody went peacefully.

Randy looked slightly amused by the situation, although you could tell he was trying to stay angry. It was obvious that he had caught on, unlike Cody. "I take it pouting isn't going to fix this" I said to Randy innocently, I needed something to break the ice.

"No, not this time" He shook his head, but he smiled slightly so that was a good sign! "I don't know what to do with you Mickie; do I have to constantly worry about you?"

"No you don't and I'm not asking you to, you don't have to pro…"

"Protect you" He finished my sentence for me. "I know this Mickie, but I can't stop being protective like you can't stop caring, it's too hard, I've tried, but I can't, I need you to be safe, I need me to be the reason your safe"

"I didn't need you protecting me, I was fine" I crossed my arms and told him sternly.

"You were fine?" Randy scoffed. "They were surrounding you" I opened my mouth to speak "And don't you dare say you could have taken them"

"I could of" I mumbled. "Can you not be mad at me anymore, I hate it" I took a step forward and risked putting my arms around his neck. He didn't return when I tried to kiss him. "You must be pissed"

"You just don't get it Mickie" He pushed my arms away. "I ask you to do something and you do the opposite"

"That's not true" I argued, he looked at me. "Ok, maybe it is a little true"

"Little? Your lucky I turned up when I did or you could have been like Brett" He turned away from me. "If that was me alone, you wouldn't want me to go on my own to take them, would you?"

"No" I mumbled.

"Exactly, that's how I feel about you, I don't want you getting hurt" He ran his fingers through his short hair. "Most girls would think there boyfriends are cute for wanting to protect them, but you just keep arguing with me, you know I don't like it so why do it?"

"I'm doing it to spite you"

"You know I don't…"

"You know I don't like you smoking, but you still do it" He didn't say anything, he knew I was right on that. "How is that different, smoking still hurts you"

"Can you try and have fun in a less dangerous way?"

"That wasn't fun, that was personal! I like Brett" I stamped my foot.

"You ruined my plan" He groaned. "I was planning to stay mad at you for the rest of the day, now we have made up, how about some make up sex?" He grinned. Oh Randall.

Becky's P.O.V

"-and then we totally made out."

Oh my god, my ears were bleeding. As soon as I found Ted, I was going to slowly squeeze the life out of him.

"However, after that her sister came over."

My brain was hurting. I actually felt like ripping open my skull just so that I could pull out my brain. Oh, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. He was a dead man.

"And when she left, I made out with the sister!"

Kill me. Please kill me. Someone. Anyone. Please?

"It was awesome. Two sisters and a cousin in one night!"

"Umm… congratulations?" I offered hesitantly.

Jack 'freaking' Swagger smirked and nodded, "Yeah."

How did this happen? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I will tell you how this monstrosity happened.

Well, Ted, Cody and I had quickly rushed away from Randy and Mickie to let them 'work through their issues' and then we had run into Jack Swagger. Ted smiled smugly before saying, "Hey, Jack, this is the girl I was setting you up with! Why don't you have your date now?"

I was horrified. "Randy will murder you, even if I don't!" I hissed but Ted just laughed.

"It'll make me laugh." He had winked before dragging a reluctant Cody away.

That had been a while ago and I had almost perfectly planned out Ted's death. It didn't help that I couldn't stop thinking about Swagger having his you-know-what pierced. The two of us stood awkwardly and he cleared his throat, "So…"

I glanced at my watch and faked surprise, "Is that the time? I didn't realize! I've got somewhere to go."

Jack nodded, "We'll do this again sometime."

"Um… okay."

Just as we went to pass, I heard a door open and I glanced behind Swagger to see and Cody and Ashley passing through. Ashley was looking at her phone and Cody was just looking at his feet – until he saw me.

Aw, what the hell.

I quickly smashed my lips against Jack's and… well… made out with him for the next minute or so. He seemed a little taken-aback but responded.

I pulled away after a moment and saw Cody staring at me with his mouth hanging open. Ashley hadn't even noticed because she was still frowning at her phone.

Damn, I was that desperate!

"That was interesting." Jack smirked.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

"Yep! Great! Well, I should probably get going. It was great seeing you!" I patted him on the arm before quickly hurrying away, passing Cody and Ashley in the process.

Ashley glanced up, "Hey Becky." She said but she didn't sound pleased about it.

Cody was still staring at me with his mouth still hanging open.

"Do you know where Ted is?" I asked sweetly.

"Why?" Cody demanded.

I made my smile even more innocent, "I want to thank him!"

Ashley then grinned, "I heard a rumour that Swagger has his dick pierced."

I was so cruel but I couldn't help it. "Oh, it's true." I said casually before shrugging my shoulders and passing them.

I heard Ashley cackle but she gently grabbed my arm, "I've got somewhere to go, take Cody with you, will you?"

"I'm not a child!" Cody exclaimed.

Ashley shrugged, "Whatever. See you later." She went in the direction that I had just come from and, as soon as she was gone, he glared at me.

I just smiled and pointed, "Shall we?"

Mickie's P.O.V

I walked out of the bedroom with Randy hearing that Becky, Ted and Cody had come back. "You guys have nothing nice to say about Miley Cyrus" Ted moaned, me and Randy exchanged looks; a while back Ted hated her too! That boy changes his mind too often.

"No one comment that…" Cody said.

"Ok" Becky replied. We all stayed quiet for a moment. Ted pouted at me, once again I was going to have to save him, I mouthed to him 'You owe me' He nodded and smiled.

"Don't listen to him people! He is trying to enslave us!" I announced breaking the silence.

"Dude relax! It was a joke" Cody sniggered throwing his hands up.

"So was my comment and FYI I'm a GIRL"

"Its too late, Becky is already in my trap" Cody crossed his arms and gave me a challenging smile. It's been so long since I've argued with Cody even if it's just a joke one! "You were just doomed from the start"

"I commented! Take that Codykins" I lunged and went 'What!'

"You may have won this round, but I'll come back even stronger than before"

"Mwahhahahha" Ted cackled.

"*Runs away* YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME" *Trips and does three ninja rolls*"

"Actions aren't necessarily comments" Becky pointed out; we all glared at her for ruining our little on going commentary.

"Have to say Ted, I myself aren't a fan of Miley Cyrus" I told him, he looked like he was angered by that. "Now you should protect me!" I whispered to Randy.

"You want me to be less protective so you're on your own babe" He whispered back.

"You are fired!" I told him, Ted coughed to gain my attention.

"Sorry Ted, I don't like her either" Becky said to him.

"Get over the fact that Miley Cyrus is popular/famous/rich and you are not, you too Mickie!" Ted snapped his fingers at me and Becky. I stepped closer to him so I was in his face.

"*Gets over it*…still don't like her"

"Do they describe their actions a lot?" Becky asked Randy. Randy laughed and nodded.

"Do we ever! Watch!" Ted said to her and turned to me and Cody. "*Kicks down the door*"

"*Gets hit with door* Ow" I did my part!

"*Runs over with a plaster* This should stop the bleeding!" Cody joined in.

"*Says something random that is completely unrelated to the post*" We all starred at Randy in amazement.

"I think he has got it!" I cheered and kissed his cheek.

"Back to the Miley Cyrus conversation…" Ted said we all groaned. "What? I bet you all secretly watch Hannah Montana, me and Mickie do every Sunday!"

"Ted"

"Mickie likes the one with the…."

"Shut up!"

"Oh the humiliation" Randy smirked.

"Randy lets me paint his nails" I announced.

"The deal was you would never tell!" Randy yelled, I just shrugged innocently. "Well, well, Ted let her do his toe nails!"

The attention was now turned to Ted. "Prove it"

"Take off your socks"

"I do not give in to peer pressure, so no"

"Well there you go"

"Becky still watches Dick and Dom in the bungalow" Ted pointed out.

"Why me Ted! Why me!" She moaned burying her face in her hands. She then gave a sneaky glance to Cody. "Well! Cody has a blankie"

"That's Ted" Cody told her smirking that she didn't get him. "And Mickie" I was getting picked on again.

"You have a blankie?" Randy sniggered.

"Don't make me reveal another one of your secrets!" I threatened him.

"I'll be quiet"

"How about we all call a truce and stop revealing each others secrets?" Cody said which I did agree with.

"You're the only one who hasn't had their secret told, I think it's fair if I share with the group that…" Ted went quiet. "What the hell has Cody done that is so embarrassing?" I knew what could have been said, but I knew I had to keep quiet.

"Nothing because I'm just so dashing" Cody smiled, come to think of it, I couldn't think of anything Cody had done embarrassing either, damn him!

"Oh guys! I have a suggestion! My dad is offering to let us stay at his vacation home till Raw!" Ted cheered.

"Vacation home?"

"Yes, vacation home! There is room for all us, what do you say?"

"I guess it couldn't hurt"

"Great! We head off tomorrow!"

"I'm going to bed, night all" I told them, turning to go into the bedroom.

"I'll come with you, see you guys in the morning" Randy followed me in, I just jumped on the bed.

"I'm so tired"

"Oh so….you didn't hint for me to come in here for sex?"

"How did I hint?" I laughed, shoving him. Randy chuckled watching as I quickly got into my sleeping position. Five minutes had past and we hadn't said anything, I opened my eyes to see he was starring at me.

"What?" I asked laughing nervously.

"Nothing, I'm going to stay up for a bit, I will come join you later"

Becky's P.O.V

"So… I have a bone to pick with you, Mr Rhodes."

Cody glanced up and smiled innocently, "What is that, Ms Orton?"

"You snitched to Randy!" I exclaimed, "He came up to me earlier and gave me a huge lecture about seeing Jack Swagger! He was yelling for ages! God, my ears were almost bleeding."

Cody smirked, "I may have gone up to Randy and told him that Ted accidentally set you up."

"You bastard! You snitched to my brother!"

"I don't regret it." He grinned.

"Have you broken up with Ashley yet?" I said, throwing the guilt into the conversation.

He smoothed his face, "No. Not yet. I'll do it tonight."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, I've heard that before."

He looked at me seriously, his eyes meeting mine, "I'm serious."

"Well, I don't care." I slapped his cheek softly, "You grassed."

Cody tilted his head to the side and smiled a little nervously, "When you said that it's true about Jack Swagger having his dick pierced… um… what was a joke, right?"

I shrugged, "Maybe. Maybe not."

"Rebecca!"

I laughed, "Who knows?"

"This isn't funny."

"I mean, as soon as I said that I didn't believe him, he whipped it out. It looks very good…"

Cody crossed his arms and glared at me, "You think you're so funny."

I laughed, "I know that I am! Hey… what was it with you and Ashley earlier?"

He cringed at the return of the topic but sighed, "We had an argument."

"Oh."

"It'll make things easier I guess…"

I didn't like the awkwardness, so I grinned wickedly, "You know, you could take a few tips from Swagger. He's a great kisser."

The atmosphere was immediately dropped and he scowled, "Oh shut up."

"Seriously, very good… I mean, Cody, come on, you're a little weak in that area."

Cody jumped up and pinned me to the wall, "You bitch!"

"Now, now, that's not a very nice thing to say, is it?"

He was trying hard not to smile but he was failing miserably, "Weak in that area! I'm insulted."

"It's a shame that you can't handle the truth."

He kissed me but I shoved him away quickly. We were too much in the open.

"You snitched on me to my brother!" I reminded, wagging a finger.

He laughed and ran a hand through his hair, "Yeah. Wanna go make out?"

I glared at him, unsure how to reply. I opened and closed my mouth before getting ready to throw back an insult.

Unfortunately, my mouth betrayed me.

"Yeah, okay."

Ted's P.O.V

I was sitting alone in the lounge, everyone else had gone to sleep, I wasn't tired so I was sitting here watching TV. I thought I was going to spend the rest of the evening alone when Randy came out of his and Mickie's bedroom. "Mickie asleep?" I asked him.

"Yeah, she is" He told me, he sat down next to me.

"You ok?" I asked him, he looked kind of distracted.

"Yeah, yeah I am, its just looking at her in their, it makes me think how much I wasted my time with Sam, you know?" I didn't know, but I nodded anyway. "She's so beautiful, I mean, I can't remember being this happy with anyone else, I know she stresses me out a lot, but I guess that just shows how much I really care for her"

"Where is all this coming from?" I chuckled slightly.

"Just kind of hit me in the bedroom there, I don't even know what happened myself, I just felt these weird, strong, overwhelming amount of feelings"

"You got it bad" I told him. He smiled.

"Yeah, I do and I will tell her, soon"

"You haven't already?"

"I get stupidly nervous, I've taken on the likes of The Undertaker and yet I get scared to tell Mickie that I love her"

"Want me to tell her?" I suggestive.

"Oh yes, how romantic" He joked. "Anyway enough about me, how are you? And how are you with the whole love situation"

"Its complicated, after the whole Melina situation, I kind of just want to play the field you know…"

"And get laid"

"You so get me dude" I chuckled and passed him a beer. "That's what I want! Just for awhile before I'm reading to attempt to settle down!"

"Went through that phase myself" Randy told me cracking open his beer. Wow, we were bonding!

Becky's P.O.V

It was quite late but I couldn't sleep, so I wandered the corridors slowly. Cody and I had been… um… 'hanging out' before Ashley came back. Cody whispered to me 'I'm going to do it', so I left them alone, trying not to feel guilty when Ashley smiled at me.

Unable to fight curiosity and temptation, I walked past their room for the hundredth time that night.

As I went to pass their door, it opened. I jumped out of my skin and got ready to get the hell beaten out of me.

Instead, Ashley hurried out crying her eyes out. Oh no. No. Why did I come here? This was a bad idea.

She saw me and I braced myself to get attacked. Instead she threw her arms around me, "Oh Becky! My dad's died."

I froze.

"W-what?" I gaped.

"C-C-Cody and I were just about t-to talk when I g-got the call! He had a h-h-heart-attack!"

Cody appeared in the doorway and his eyes pleaded with me. I didn't blame him though. Only a man with no heart would dump a girl after her dad had died.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come back with you?" Cody asked.

"N-no. It's fine. Really." Ashley sniffed loudly. She even looked pretty when she cried, "M-my family will b-be there."

"Come on, I'll drive you to the airport." Cody said softly. His sad eyes met mine briefly before he gently steered Ashley towards the door, "I won't be long." He called.

I watched as he guided Ashley away but I barely registered it.

I just felt everything fall around me.

Mickie's P.O.V

"HE'S GOT HER! QUICKLY! SHOOT HIM! OH MY GOD! I HATE THIS GAME!" I heard a load of screaming, I rubbed my eyes and sat up, I recognised the voice and screams as Ted.

"Randy, go check on him" I mumbled, I looked over to see Randy wasn't there. I put on my slippers and went to see what all the fuss was. Randy and Ted were sitting on the couch playing on the Wii. I looked at my watch, it was four in the morning. Both men looked shattered, but were focused on the gain. Randy's hair had been pushed back and ruffled, same with Ted. I looked on the screen, then picked up the game case. Resident Evil 4.

"The music is playing! The zombies are coming! Use the rifle! USE THE BLOODY RIFLE!" Ted screamed.

"I know what I'm doing!" Randy yelled back at him.

"OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T! LOOK HE HAS ASHLEY! HE IS GOING TO GET AWAY, BLOODY HELL RANDY USE THE RIFLE!"

"I CAN'T USE THE RIFLE!"

"USE THE RIFLE! LOOK, HE IS GOING TO GET AWAY!"

"Guys! It's four in the morning, some people are trying to sleep!" I scowled at the two of them.

"I'm sorry babe" Randy took my hand and kissed the back of it. "I'm basically finishing this level, just let me save"

"Alright hurry up" My eyes felt so heavy. He went to this type writer on the game and saved it.

"You guys are going? So soon?" Ted asked us.

"Yes, now bed, let's go" We both collapsed onto the bed, Randy fell straight away to sleep. I for some odd reason couldn't get back to sleep. I ended up just starring at the ceiling attempting to count sheep. My eyes stung as the door opened revealing some light, Ted tip toed in, thinking I was asleep and slid into the side of mine and Randy's bed next to me. "Err Ted…"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing?"

"You know I don't take horrors well! That game was scary and I had a nightmare, so can I sleep with you?" Ted asked me pouting. I groaned, it was boiling enough with two people, let alone three. "Please baby? My room is scary"

"What is going on?" Randy moaned.

"You shouldn't of let him play that game! You know how he hates horrors!" I slapped his arm.

"He could of said no, but he didn't so it's his own fault" Randy grumbled.

"We are going to have to go through the whole process of getting you over it again aren't we?" I asked Ted, he grinned and nodded. Remember last time, made me listen to Hannah Montana songs, read him Harry Potter, he got out of bed and grabbed my hand leading me out of the room.

This was going to be a long night.

Back to school, sixth form is a lot different, more homework! :/
Annoyed that they got rid of the 6ft 9 diva, it would have been interesting and new to have her with the divas. Who do you want to win NXT?
Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming!
