SmackDown Filming: November 10, 2009

"I need to punch something." Randy mutters.

"That's the fifth time you've said that in the past twenty-four hours." I commented to him.

"Well, Mark Henry almost hit you with a World's Strongest Slam yesterday. Do you blame me for wanting to punch something?"

"No."

"Rissa," Ted gives me a concerned look. "If it was Maryse, I'd be just like Randy about this. Hell, I'm mad about him doing it to you."

"Me too." Cody adds.

"Aw…" I say. "I knew I liked you guys."

"Thanks."

"So what do you guys have to do tonight?"

"Beat up Mark Henry." Ted answers.

"But you already did that."

"He deserves it again for going after one of Legacy's Ladies, especially since you're pretty important around here." Randy tells me.

"Bringing Legacy's Ladies back, are we?"

"Yes, how's representing Stephanie on the creative team going for you?"

"I only like two or three people on the creative team. The rest of them are no fun."

"That sucks."

"I know, but I'm doing it for her and trying to get some good reputation before I try to reverse this decision about splitting up my group."

"I do feel bad for you though. You can't stand boring people."

"You're right, but it's necessary this time."

"Okay…" Ted says to both of us. "I just thought about this randomly, but how did you guys meet?"

Randy looks at me. "Go ahead and tell. I know you like to tell the story."

Flashback: September 13, 1994

I walked towards my house by myself. My brother or cousin usually walked home with me. It was just normal and peaceful until someone grabs my arm. I turn around. It's Austin Freed. He hated my brother.

"You're Tyler's sister." Austin says.

I ignore him and try to walk away, but he throws me into a tree.

"Answer me." Austin sternly tells me.

I try to get away, but he grabs my leg.

"Answer me." Austin repeats.

Austin goes to punch me as I still don't say a word, but he is stopped by another boy.

"Fuck off, Freed." The other boy says.

"What are you going to do about it, Orton?"

"Just saying my dad's a professional wrestler. I have training. I could easily kick your ass."

"Why are you concerned anyway?"

"Because I know for a fact that you're a fourteen year old boy beating on a twelve year old girl, and I will make sure her brother knows about this."

Austin goes to punch Orton, but Orton hits him first. Austin Freed walks away.

Orton extends his hand. "I'm Randy Orton."

"Marissa Smith." I replied as he helped me up.

"I know. Come on, we'll get you home."

End of Flashback

"Oh my gosh," Ted looks over at Randy. "Randy had a heart back then."

"Or he had a thing for Marissa back then too." Cody comments with a laugh.

"Or I was sick of Freed, and he had no right to touch her." Randy responds while pulling me close. "By the way, I never had a thing for Marissa until I was eighteen."

"Oh."

"Did you have a thing for me when you were with Stacy?" I ask as realization hits me.

"Yeah, I did." Randy responds.

"And when I was with Chris?"

"Yeah, then too."

I kiss his cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"It makes sense now." Ted mutters.

"What does?" I ask, confused.

"Why Randy would always tell us stories involving you, talk about you while we were in the locker-room, or make an excuse to talk to you even though he was rude when he did." Cody answers.

"Oh, he did all that?"

"Yes, he did."

I look at Randy. "That's adorable. I gotta go. Eve and I have a match against Kelly and Emily."

"Bye."

All the ladies tell the fellas

We can do what they can do

We can do it even better in broken heels…

"And their opponents, the team of Eve Torres and the WWE Women's Champion, Marissa, the Divas of Domination!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Eve and Emily start the match off. Emily goes for a Brogue Kick. Eve dodges and hits a Dropkick. Emily stumbles. Eve hits her with a Tornado DDT and goes for the pin.

1...kickout!

Emily tags in Kelly. Kelly Clotheslines Eve. Eve then gets hit with the K2. Kelly goes for the pin.

1...2...kickout!

Eve tags me in. I run in and hit a Thesz Press on Kelly. I then pick her up and slam her into a turnbuckle. Then, I hit a Running Bulldog and lift her up for the Chaotic Ending. After Kelly hits the ground, I pin her.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners, the Divas of Domination!"

Eve and I celebrated in the ring as Kelly and Emily stumbled up the ramp.

Eve pulled me close for a hug. "So when are you talking to Creative?"

"Soon, very soon." I whisper before releasing the hug.

Eve and I celebrate in the ring for a few more minutes before heading backstage.

Eve pulls me into an empty hall as soon as we make it backstage. "How soon is very soon exactly?"

I give Eve a nervous look before sighing. "Next Monday, I wasn't planning on saying anything until after I went."

"Because you don't want Michelle, Maryse, and I to go with you? Do you know how concerned that makes all three of us, Marissa?"

"I know it makes you all concerned, but like I said before, I don't want the three of you to get heat for this."

"And like we told you before, we're all four in this together. We want to be there for you."

"I get that, but I'm trying to protect you three if things backfire."

Eve shakes her head. "You're too stubborn to change your mind about us not going, aren't you?"

"I'm just trying to protect you guys." I shrug. "I promise I'll still keep you in the loop."

"Promise me you'll come find me as soon as you can after you talk about it and tell me everything, okay?"

"I promise, Eve."
