How Taking Down Legacy Failed

"Welcome to Casa de…" Ted paused. "Dibiase" He finished with a smile. Chloe on his arm giggled, he flashed her a smile.

"Nice place you got here Ted" I complimented him looking around the place. It was very big, very modern! It had 7 bedroom, 3 different lounges, a kitchen, 5 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a hot tub, a gym. This was their holiday home I think.

"Why thank you" Ted grinned.

"Yeah, nice place, I think me and Mickie are going to break in one of the bedrooms" Randy smirked and grabbed my hand.

"NO! NO! NO!" Ted shouted and blocked our path. "No sex, not in Casa de Dibiase!" He said with a Spanish accent.

"If sex isn't allowed, then why did you bring Chloe?" I asked him suspiciously.

"Well, its ok for me, but not for you! You're the guests, have some respect!" He wagged his finger at us; I looked at Randy and sighed.

"Ok, ok" I held my hands up in defeat. "No sex"

"Great! C'mon Chloe" Ted purred reaching his hand out to her.

"Unbelievable" Randy growled.

"Make yourselves comfortable whilst me and …" Oh god, he forgot her name. "her go break in my room" Ted grinned at us all before leading Chloe upstairs.

"And he stole my line" Randy pointed out as he watched Ted go up the stairs with Chloe; he then turned to face all of us. "He actually stole my line" I rolled my eyes playfully at him and walked up the steps. This place was like a maze, there were so many turns and different rooms. I grabbed the nicest room I could; it had an en-suite with a hot tub in it! "Babe?" I could hear Randy's voice.

"In here" I called out to him, he walked in and looked impressed by the room.

"Nice"

"I thought so" I smiled at him, heaving my suitcase onto the bed.

"So whilst Ted is busy, what do you say we…." Randy wrapped his arms around my waist and started to plant kissing along my neck, I moaned and rolled my head back.

"You know what Ted said, no sex" I told him, nudging him away.

"He will never know" He whined and slumped onto the bed.

"It's only for a few days" I told him.

"Man this sucks, not only does Ted get to have sex, but he is having sex with…." I gave him a stern look. "Someone who doesn't have a patch on you" He smiled innocently.

"I have to say, you have improved with how you act around her" I sent him an approving smile.

"It's like she isn't even there to be honest" His voice wasn't convincing though, whilst I was unpacking, Randy put his hand on my waist and pulled me to sit on his lap. "I was thinking, at Fatal Four Way, you and Becky should maybe treat yourselves instead of going, I mean…you don't have a match and I think it would be good for you"

"You just don't want me to be around because of NXT" He titled his head on the side looking slightly confused on how I caught on so quickly. "I'm a big girl, I can handle myself"

"John Cena can't even handle himself" Randy said frustrated. "I don't understand why you have to battle me on this"

"I told you, I can't sit by and do nothing, besides they won't hit girls!"

"Oh they told you that did they?" He asked me, I couldn't say anything back, because I truly didn't know. "Are you going to wait until they jump you till you start staying away? By then it will be too late, I can't protect you 24/7, like you said"

"I know what I'm doing"

"Do you? Do you really?"

"I don't want to argue with you" I told him, he laid down on our bed facing up. At least he wasn't going for a cigarette.

"You make it sound like I do" He replied, he lifted his head up slightly to look at me. "This isn't just another one of yours and Ted's jokes, this is serious, they are dangerous"

"Lets not talk about it, ay" I tried to shrug off the subject.

"The thought of them hurting you Mickie, I can't stop worrying about it and it makes me feel physically sick, I even annoy myself with how much I worry about it"

"I'll be careful, I promise"

"You cause me all kinds of distress!" Randy growled playfully. "But don't worry, you can make it up to me…"

"I told you no!"

"Please?"

"No"

"Por favor?"

"No"

"But I said it in Spanish"

"Why am I getting a sense of déjà vu?" I asked Randy, my head hurt because it was like I had heard that all before, he chuckled and pulled me close to him.

"It's like the exact conversation we had when you were drunk"

"Oh man, was I asking you for sex?" I groaned.

"No, beer"

"Well, I sound like a pretty cool drunk"

"You were cute"

"Next time we go out, your going to be the one who gets drunk, I haven't seen that in a while" I poked my finger into his abs.

"You just want me to be in a vulnerable stage so you can have your wicked way with me" Randy grinned devilishly.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want Randy, it's exactly why I'm turning you down for sex at this moment…in time" I said sarcastically. "You should have been there on the way home, in the cab, I said 'Excuse me Mr cab driver sir guy, I think I am going to be sick, so can you please pull over, I don't want to make you mad by throwing up in your car…' Drunk me is more polite than sober me!"

Randy chuckled and placed his hand over mine. "I wish I was there"

"Me too" I said remembering how worried I was about him that whole night.

"I'm such an idiot sometimes, I don't think you realise how much you mean to me Michaela Laree James"

"Maybe you care enough to get my name right, Mickie" My emphasised my name as I turned to straddle him. "Mickie"

"Michaela"

"Randall"

"Let's cut a deal, I won't call you Michaela, if you don't call me Randall"

"But that's your name" I whined. "Randall is actually your name!" With that I walked out the room. I heard him call 'Love you' out, I just smiled and kept walking. I went back downstairs to where Becky and Cody were.

"Guys" I snapped at them, they broke apart, both looking surprise and ruffled. "I could have been your brother, do you want him to find out!"

"No" They both in union and hung their heads low.

"Then quit it, I've already had to warn Randy about sex already" I saw Becky shudder a little. "God knows how you've lasted this long without anyone suspecting anything!"

"Suspecting what?" I closed my eyes as Randy's voice rang through my ears. I felt him behind me. "Suspecting what babe?"

"Suspecting Ted's surprise birthday party!" I told him nervously.

"Ted's birthday isn't until November…" He raised a brow. I looked at Cody, he just shrugged at me.

"It is? Oh my god, Cody told me it was in three days! Cody! That was not nice! Shame on you!" I wagged my finger at him.

"Why would you do that?" Randy asked him, not amused at all. "Where is the fun in that?"

"Things like that…humour me, I thought it would be funny, I'm sorry Mickie" Cody said slowly, his eyes flickering between me and Randy.

"Glad we got that sorted" I mumbled, turning to face Randy.

"I know what will cheer you up" He smiled.

"We're not having sex" I told him sternly.

"Dammit"

"Hello!" Ted yelled out cheerfully from the top of the stairs with only a robe on. He looked like the owner of the playboy house.

"See, I could be like that" Randy mumbled bitterly, I just gave him a sympathy pat on the back.

"That was quick" Cody sniggered at Ted.

"Jealous?"

"What? Me? No way!" Cody then sighed. "Yeah…" Me and Becky like a reflex looked at each and rolled our eyes. "Do I hear wedding bells Ted?" Cody joked, Ted screwed up his face.

"No way, I would break too many hearts" He then sent both me and Becky a wink. "Besides you and Ashley seem next in line"

This time it was Cody who screwed up his face. "Err no dude, I don't think so and actually if anyone out of us lot is going to get married first it will be Mickie and Randy"

God, I hadn't actually thought about that, but Cody just saying it, not going to lie, it made me smile… "Me? Getting married again, pssh, I don't think so man" Smiling time is over, I can't believe he just said that.

"You don't want to get married again?" Ted asked him, thank god for Ted, I wanted to ask that same thing, but I just didn't want to seem like I was going you must marry me!

"I did the whole big wedding thing with Sam and look how that turned out, I guess I don't really get the whole marriage concept, it's just a piece of paper" Randy shrugged, Ted sent me a 'Are you ok?' look. I was not expecting that. So what was I? Something just to pass the time? Is this as far as it goes for us? I didn't want to start something in front of everyone, so I will leave it for now. I know I won't be able to stop thinking about it though. Everyone went quiet, no one really had anything to say after that.

"DO YOU REMEMBER when Mickie tried to teach me the hoedown throwdown and after about an hour, I didn't get it and you, Ted, just got up and started doing it" Cody suddenly brought up. "OH best moment of my life so far"

Becky and Randy starred at Ted in amusement, he just shifted his eyes around the room. "You see what I remember is walking past a shop and Ted stopped and said 'You would work that dress Mickie!' Or something ridiculously gay like that" I brought up.

"What can I say? I know what looks good" Ted said in his defence.

"I just remember thinking in that moment, how are you my little gay best friend?"

"I'm down with that, As long as I don't have to take any cock I'm happy" Ted told me.

"Well….I could easily set you up with someone" I smirked at him.

"No men!" Ted said to me sternly.

"YOUR JUST PICKY!" I threw my hands in the air as if I was frustrated.

"NO I'M NOT, I JUST DON'T LIKE COCK! SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE!" Ted put his fingers around my neck and pretended to strangle me. "I am not gay!" When he finally stopping pretending to strangling me, we saw that everyone was standing around awkwardly. "How about we go out for a meal?" Ted suggested.

"Yeah, I'm up for that, what about you babe?" Randy asked me breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah" I smiled up at him.

"Actually guys, I'm a little tired, I'm going to stay here" Becky said, we all nodded.

"Come on Codykins"

"I think I'm going to stay here too" I gave him a suspiciously look. Had they planned this? I sent Becky a look of disapproval.

"Alright, let's go, I'm driving"

"Oh god, we're doomed" Randy groaned.

"I'll have you know, I'm an excellent driver! My driving instructor passed me with flying colours!" Ted replied smugly.

"Did you see sleep with her?" Randy joked as we exited the house.

"Maybe…"

Becky's P.O.V

Becky

"When I said 'I'm tired', I meant it, Mr Rhodes."

"Look, Ms Orton, I didn't force you to join me."

"Saying 'I'm going to the hot tub, if you don't come with me then I'll tell Randy that you screwed Jack Swagger' sounds kind of like blackmail to me."

Cody leant back in the hot tub and closed his eyes, a smile playing on the corners of his lips, "You could have just told him that you didn't and he would've probably backed off. You knew that you wanted to join me."

His hand gently found mine underneath the water and he leant towards me but I hesitated.

"This doesn't feel right."

He frowned slightly, "What, because Ted was going on about the whole 'no sex' thing earlier in the car? That was a joke, you stu-"

I rolled my eyes, "No, you idiot! Because of Ashley. Her dad has just died…"

Cody paused slightly and subtly moved his hand away. "I know."

"You should be with her! Comforting her!"

"I know." He repeated.

I glared at him and he shifted uncomfortably. "Cody…"

"I was going to break up with her!" He groaned, "It was literally on the tip of my tongue."

I shook my head, "I'm not saying that you should've! I wouldn't want to be with a guy who was so heartless! It's just… it's a little inappropriate, don't you think? She's mourning the loss of her dad, so we shouldn't be… well, you know!"

Cody then started laughing, which irritated me.

"It's not funny, Cody!"

"I'm not laughing at that." He looked solemn, "It's just… we've had this conversation a million times." He chuckled and gently took my hand again, "I'm sorry, I feel horrible for her, I really do, but there's no point in stopping this now. This," he waved a hand around, "won't make a difference to Ashley."

I disagreed. I would find it insulting to find out that my boyfriend was screwing a girl when I was grieving.

"Are you going to tell Ashley the truth?" I asked, "Are you going to say that we've been together or just that you've been seeing another girl or that you've fallen for someone else or… are you just going to break up and then we'll go public a little bit after?"

Cody sniggered, "Who said we're going to stay together?"

I flicked water at him, "Haha." I said dryly, and he laughed and gently kissed me on the cheek to show me that he was joking.

He looked serious when he pulled back, "I don't know. We need to make a joint decision because we need to tell Randy and everyone else too." At the mention of Randy, his face paled slightly.

"He'd kill you." I said.

Cody nodded, "I have an idea."

"Go ahead…"

"I could tell Ashley that I've fallen in lo-" he paused slightly, "fallen for someone else and then you can miraculously fall for me too and we get together 'officially'."

"I guess but… Mickie knows the truth?"

"She won't tell!"

"I don't want her lying to Randy anymore! It's not fair."

"You've been lying to Randy."

"He's my brother. He's biologically programmed to forgive me."

"Okay but… if we tell the truth, Ashley will know that I cheated on her. Randy will know how… how I treated you."

I sighed, "Yeah… but… maybe that'll be good. The full truth and everything? Then we can have a completely honest relationship?"

Cody wrinkled his nose and he smiled slyly, "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it!" He dismissed and the atmosphere automatically changed, "Can we get to the fun stuff now?"

Pfft! Men!

"Fine by me!"

Mickie's P.O.V

"Flipping hell Ted, could you just once not chat up the waitress?" I said as we walked back into 'Casa de Dibiase'

"I can't help it if the ladies want this" Ted did a pose.

"Speaking of waitresses, didn't you like, leave Chloe upstairs?" Randy asked him.

"Oh she texted me, she had to go back to work" He said as if he didn't care. When the hell was he going to ditch her?

"Oh…that's a shame…" Randy said, I nudged him. "Where is Becky and Cody?" He then looked around the room. Oh god, they are probably… I got distract Randy.

"How about we go and do that thing we wanted to do earlier…" I said trailing my fingers up his chest.

"I thought you said we couldn't?" He whispered to me.

"I've changed my mind, want me to change it back?"

"Nope! Let's go!" He grinned, grabbed my hand, he went to go up the stairs, but I pulled him away.

"Let's find a room down here"

"Why?"

"Because, Ted might hear us up there"

"Oh yeah, good call" We found a room at the back of the house, I hope Becky appreciates this! He kissed me forcefully, roughly, just the way I liked it. It was like he was daring me to kiss back. I pushed against his shoulders, teasing him, he soon began impatient and bit my bottom lip, forcing his tongue against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gently pulled at his hair making him moan quietly into my mouth. It was then it hit me….Ted….I didn't distract Ted. I backed out of the kiss, Randy must of thought this was another teasing technique as he went straight for another kiss.

"Randy" I mumbled against his lips. He might not have found them…"Randy" I needed to be sure. "Randy" I used all my force to push him off me. I stood up and ran for the door.

"Mickie" He yelled after me, I turned around. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, nothing, I'll be back in a second, please just wait here" I could hear the desperation in my voice. He nodded, I literally ran, I checked all the bedrooms until I could hear a few voices.

"I can't believe this…" I heard Ted say.

"Please, you can't tell anyone" Becky's voice sounded desperate. I knew it wasn't long until they got caught. How could I forget that Ted was there? I'm such an idiot, I slowly walked in the room. Ted's eyes widened when he saw me.

"Err baby, this isn't what it looks like, you see Becky and Cody was just…"

"She knows Ted" Becky interrupted him.

"You knew?" I nodded. "How could you not tell me!"

"Well I couldn't tell anyone, not even…Randy" The guilt kicked in again, I hated hiding this from him, I really did. "Speaking of Randy, before he figures something is up, you two better get dressed"

"He is here?" Becky looked worried.

"Yes, now get dressed"

"If you don't mind…" Cody coughed awkwardly.

"I've seen everything already, remember" Ted glared at him.

"C'mon Ted" I grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him outside.

"I seriously can't believe this, Becky and Cody? All this time I thought she fancied me!"

"Seriously?" I laughed at him.

"Yeah, I mean, until you got with Randy, I seriously thought you were falling for the Dibiase charm!" Ted told me, I didn't know he thought that!

"What would you of done if I had?" I asked him.

"Slept with you, then used the line 'Just like this record, you just got played' Then I would of said 'Get out of my room you dirty slag'"

I starred at him in shock. "Are you serious?" He nodded. "That would of destroyed our friendship!"

"You would of come crawling back! Don't worry, I had it all planned out!" He ruffled my hair.

"Good to know"

"Hey guys" Becky said softly as her and Cody walked out of the bedroom. "You understand you can't tell a soul, right Ted?"

"Yeah, yeah I know" Ted bowed his head. He then looked at Cody. "I don't know how you live with it, the moment I slept with Becky, I had to tell Melina"

"That's a good point Ted, I have an ultimatum for you Cody" This was harsh, but it had to be done. "I won't tell Randy, if…you choose. Becky or Ashley, it's not fair on either of them and it's not fair for me to keep this from Randy"

"I understand" Cody scratched the back of his head. "I'm going to end it with Ashley, I just don't know how to tell her"

"I'm excellent with stuff like that, so if you need help, you know where to find me" Ted patted his back.

Cody looked at him oddly. "Cheers…Ted"

"What's this? A secret gathering?" We all turned to see Randy standing there with just boxers.

"Err bro, this isn't your house, put some clothes on!" Becky told him.

"Well, you see, me and Mickie" He tugged on my hand. "Were in the middle of something"

"What have I told you about sex? How dare you defy me!"

"Relax, it didn't happen"

"Yeah, because she left, what are you guys all talking about? And why so secret?" We all looked at each other awkwardly, come on Mickie think of an excuse. "Oh god, I think know what's happening here"

"You do?" I asked him.

"Yeah and babe…it's not my birthday either"

What was he…oh… "Dammit Cody! I can't believe you tricked me again! It's not funny anymore! It's just mean"

"Why do it again dude? It wasn't funny the first time" Randy pointed out. I tried to keep myself from laughing, I think we all were.

"I just don't know where the limit is, once again I'm sorry Mickie" Cody gritted his teeth.

"You need to stop believing him" Randy told me kissing my forehead.

"I know, but he is just so damn believable! What with his Dashing appearance and all, damn you" Cody smirked at me.

"So now that is sorted, how about you come back to bed?" Randy purred at me.

"Absolutely not" Ted commented stepping in between me and Randy.

"Oh c'mon Ted" Randy moaned.

"No, now just to be sure nothing is going to happen here, you two will be sleeping in separate beds tonight"

"Is that really necessary?" I asked him, he nodded.

"Randy can stay in the one downstairs, baby your in the room next to me, if either of you try to sneak to see each other in the night, you will feel my wrath"

"Wouldn't want that" Randy rolled his eyes.

Becky's P.O.V

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." I repeated as I paced around the room.

Ted grinned, "So, how long has this been going on for?"

"Ted, can you just go away?" Cody asked through gritted teeth.

Ted laughed gleefully and rubbed his hands together, "Now, now, I'm just helping you out. Now, when I told you that there is no sex at Casa De Dibiase, I was just telling you that I was going to be telling the lovebirds that but now..." He giggled, "I have two couples to watch out for!"

"Can't you go bother Randy and Mickie?" Cody demanded.

"Nope!"

"Why?"

"This has more drama." Ted snapped his fingers; "Dibiase is always around the drama. He needs to know what is going on."

Cody and I exchanged one swift glance before we each grabbed an arm and slung him out of the room. I then promptly slammed the door shut.

"What the fuck are we going to do?" I squeaked.

Suddenly, Ted pounded at the door, "You can't do this! You can't! This is Casa De Ted! I am the Big Cheese! Open up! Teddy needs his gossip."

"I have no idea." Cody hissed, ignoring Ted, "This makes things more complicated. Especially since he can't save a secret to save his life!"

"That's not true!" Ted yelled, "I never told anyone that Mickie wet the bed until she was fourteen!"

"Ted!" We heard Mickie shriek.

"Oops."

I smiled briefly before turning back to Cody, "What should we do? Seriously?"

Suddenly, an axe blade split right through the door. I'm serious. An axe blade.

Ted's head appeared in the gap and he widened his eyes, "Heeeeeere's Tedddddy!"

Cody stared at him, "Dude, what the fuck are you doing? That's going to cost you!"

Ted grinned, "Worth it. Teddy likes his drama!" He then went to pull his head out of the gap but he froze slightly.

"Are you… okay?" I asked.

"My head is stuck." Ted squealed.

Cody rolled his eyes, "Sure it is."

Ted's face began to redden, "Nooo! Guys! I'm serious! My head is stuck!"

I laughed and turned to Cody, "I never saw this bit in the Shinning."

He laughed and we started to giggle until we looked at Ted who was glaring at us. He tried to move his head back but he was telling the truth – it was stuck in the door.

"If you don't help me, right now, then I am going to scream your secret to the world."

Cody narrowed his eyes, "You wouldn't."

"One."

He wouldn't. Would he?

"Two."

The two boys (men was such a loose term…) glared and I wondered who'd give in first. I hoped Cody's competitiveness wouldn't affect this game of chicken.

"Three. Last chance!"

"Ted-"

"GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT! HEY RANDY, GUESS WHAT! CODY AND BE-"

I lunged towards the door and slapped my hand over his mouth, "All right, all right!"

It was going to be a loooong night.

Thanks for all the reviews! Keep them coming!

Preview for next chapter

I can't believe I was about to do this. I came out of the curtains, the crowd cheered when they saw me. Sheamus was standing at the top of the ramp too and starred at me in shock. "Alright Shames?"

"What the hell do you think your doing fella?" Sheamus yelled at me. This made NXT change their sights to us. "Look what you've done!"

"Me? You yelled Shames!" I saw his eyes widened, I looked to see they were coming towards us. "I think we ought to run…"

Some more Sheamus + NXT, so if you want to see that, get the reviews in quick! Cheers! (:!
