Raw: January 4, 2010

"I can't believe I got to meet Bret Hart today, and it's our eight month anniversary!" I tell Randy as we're in our locker-room.

"And Melina is injured from what I understand. I'm sure you're glad to hear that." Randy adds.

"This is such a great day!"

"Not quite yet…"

"Why?"

"I haven't got to kiss you enough today."

"Why do you have to be so cute and sweet sometimes? You aren't like that with anyone else."

"Because you make me this way. I love you so damn much."

"Damn it, Orton. You make it hard to be away from you when I have to be."

"Good, I want you to miss me when we're not together."

I kiss him on the lips. "There you go. Another kiss."

"Yeah, this is a pretty great day."

"I love you too, but you're such a pain in the ass. Do you know your opponent tonight or if you even have a match?"

"No, do you know what you're doing tonight?"

"No, I don't know. I haven't gotten my script or checked the match card."

"We should probably go see the match card and…"

We go to leave, but someone knocks on the door. Randy and I exchanged confused glances before I opened the door. It's Lilian Garcia who's standing on the other side.

"I had some free time." Lilian tells me. "So I thought I'd say hi since it's been a bit since we've talked. I also overheard you two a little. You two are facing Sheamus and Mickie in a Mixed Tag tonight. I don't know about promo time at all, but I know that."

I smile and hug her. "Hi and thank you. We need to catch up soon."

"No problem, Rissa. See you later. You too, Randy. We'll catch up soon."

"Agreed. See you around, Lilian."

Randy snakes his arms around my waist after I close the door. "Guess we can't do that."

"Guess not…" I move past Randy to get my ring gear to put on.

"We're gonna kick ass tonight."

"Since we're against Sheamus, is it arse?"

"I don't know, but that's an interesting thought. We're gonna kick ass and/or arse tonight."

"We should ask Sheamus how that works."

"Maybe, he'll probably look at us like we're idiots."

"We're so dumb sometimes."

"Yeah, but at least we're dumb together." Randy remarks as he starts putting his gear on.

"I'm so excited. We don't get to team up often."

"Yeah, we don't."

"I feel like it's been forever since we've teamed up."

"Same here."

"Do I wear my Legacy t-shirt over my gear tonight?"

"Wear it. I'll wear mine."

"Okay."

"You also look really hot in that shirt."

"Thanks, but are you saying that since it's your faction's shirt?"

"Maybe, but I think you look really hot in everything."

"You're really complementary today."

"Thanks."

"You're really hot too though." I wink at Randy. "Let's work on some strategy for our match before we're out there."

("Obsession" plays)

"The following is a Mixed Tag Team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Richmond, Virginia, Mickie James!"

Its a shame that lost their head
A careless man who could wind up dead
You wear your sin like it's some kind of prize
Too many lies, too many lies…

"And her partner, from Dublin, Ireland, he is the WWE Champion, Sheamus!"

I hear voices in my head

They council me

They understand

They talk to me…

"And their opponents, the team of Randy Orton and the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa!"

Randy and I walk out hand in hand and continue down the ramp. Then, he holds the ropes as I enter the ring. He follows behind me and does his pose in the corner as I hold up my championship.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Randy and Sheamus start the match off. They both try to Clothesline each other, but neither succeed. Sheamus then grabs Randy's arm and Irish Whips him into the ropes before hitting him with a Brogue Kick. Sheamus pins Randy.

1...kickout!

Sheamus does his taunt. Randy attacks him from behind. Randy then goes for the Punt Kick, but Mickie gets in his way. I run in and attack her. Sheamus gets up. I point behind him so he'll be distracted. Randy hits him with a RKO and pins him.

1...2…

Mickie distracts the referee. Sheamus goes for another Brogue Kick, but he misses. Mickie tags in.

I enter the ring and hit Mickie with a Thesz Press. I have to get pulled off of her by the referee. She shoves me to the ground. When Mickie goes to pick me up, I roll her into a pin.

1...2...kickout!

Mickie goes to hit me with the MickDT, but I counter it into a DDT. She goes to get up, but I drive my knee into her face. I then pick her up and hit the Chaotic Ending. I pin Mickie.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, Marissa and Randy Orton!"

I grab Randy and kiss him. When we're done, he raises my arm in victory.

This felt damn good.

"So you still haven't heard anything since talking to your dad about it on Christmas?" Michelle asks me.

I shake my head. "I've heard nothing. I mean I haven't been told no, but I haven't been told yes either."

"Who knows if that's a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I'm not sure either, but onto some more positive information, Melina is injured, which means the Divas Championship is likely going to be vacated. Obviously, Michelle and I are very much in the Women's Championship picture at the moment, but, Maryse and Eve, you two really should be in there when it comes to the Divas Championship. Maryse, you were already the Number One Contender, and, Eve, you're more than capable."

"You really think so?" Eve asks.

"I know so, and Michelle and Maryse would agree with me."

Maryse nods. "Absolutely, Eve."

Michelle smiles. "You are more than ready to be a champion at this point, Eve."

"Thanks, guys." Eve comments. "I didn't expect to be ready to be in a championship picture so soon."

"Well, sometimes, you've gotta take the chance." I explained. "I didn't think I was ready when I got my first shot. Trish retired, the Women's Championship was vacated, and there was a tournament. I definitely got an upset victory over Lita to win, but I still won. This could be your equivalent of that. Plus, even if we don't get to keep the Divas of Domination together, I'd like to see the Divas Championship on either you or Maryse. You just gotta take the chance and bet on yourself."

"And this is why you're the leader." Maryse tells me. "Inspirational words from Miss Marissa McMahon."

"Thanks for the kind words, Ryse, but seriously, there's a big opportunity here and I hope one of you will get to capitalize on the opportunity."

"Hopefully we will. How long will we wait for an answer about our faction?"

"I say until Royal Rumble. I think we need to be a little patient with my dad. If we still haven't heard anything by then, then, it's time to ask him about it. I'm trying my best to be optimistic about it though."

"Me too." Michelle adds.

"But hey, no matter what happens, all four of us will be tight." Eve tells us all.

We all nod in agreement.
