Perfect part 3  Chapters 24-31
Chapter 24

Twenty minutes later it was time for Dave’s match against the Coach. I was set to accompany Batista to the ring, from then on I would stay outside the ring as an ever so lovely cheerleader. Oh... did I forget to mention that I also got the pleasure of screaming obscenities at the Coach? Well, I just fixed that now didn’t I.

Dave and I were set to appear in the ring first. Batista’s music hit. (Notice his music is different from the regular Evolution music... I think it’s better, then again I love everything Dave right now. Anyways... back to the story.) “Being accompanied to the ring by Andrea, weighing in at 275 pounds, at 6 foot 5 inches... BATISTA!”

We sauntered down to the ring, Dave flexing his delicious muscles the whole way and I had a sultry look on my face, saying things like, “Oh Yea Baby!”, “Look at that!”, and “You’re gonna slaughter Coach!” You know... just playing the bad girl of Evolution piece.

When we got to the ring Dave opened the ropes for me, and when we had actually entered the ring Dave stood on the ropes and did his “scary roar” thing. Usually when I see that I roll my eyes, but I couldn’t do that while in character.

Dave came back to the center of the ring and Coach’s music started up. “And now his opponent. THE COACH!” Coach came to the ring slowly, not looking very happy to be there. After Coach got half way down the ramp Lillian and I got out of the ring. But before I left the ring I squeezed Batista’s bicep and winked at him.

“Kill him Batista! Kill Him!” Batista waits for Coach to get in the center of the ring and he does his “manly roar” again. I bit my lower lip and smiled evilly while nodding. The match was relatively boring what with Batista dominating the entire match. But that was to be expected. The match ended with the Batista Bomb and Batista got the three count.

I entered the ring and kicked Coach in the side for good measure. The Coach rolled out of the ring holding onto his side. I turned to Dave and he encircled me in his massive arms. I licked my bottom lip and Dave and I kissed hotly in the middle of the ring.

When we broke apart I got that evil grin on my face again, grabbed a mic and said, “And THAT is why you don’t mess with Evolution!” I threw the mic down and Dave and I exited the ring. We walked up the ramp, me with my arms around Dave’s middle and Dave with his arm around my shoulders.

When we got backstage I jumped into Dave’s arms, “HOLY SHIT! What a rush!” Dave laughed, “And to think, you didn’t even wrestle.” I rolled my eyes, “Yea, Yea, Whatever Mr. Macho. That was SO much fun! I can’t believe I almost didn’t want to do that before.”

“HA! ALMOST? That’s an understatement if I’ve ever heard one. You turned me down flat when I mentioned it before.” I turned around and ran over to Paul giving him a hug, “DAMN! That was so much fun. I really can’t believe I didn’t want to before.”

Ric smiled, “Well Angel, You did wonderful out there! And I think you owe someone a thankyou.” I smiled at Ric, “Thanks Rickers. That’s sweet of you to say considering I didn’t do much. I SO wanted to say don’t fuck with Evolution, just cuz that’s how I am. But I figured that probably wouldn’t be a good idea, language sensors and all.”

Paul nodded, “Oh I know ALL about the sensors.” I smiled, “After all you were in DX. And don’t worry Ric I thank Coach in a bit. I just have to find him is all.”

Then I realized one of my boys was missing in action, “Where’s Orton?” Ric smiled, “There’s a fan who wanted to meet Evolution, he’s with her right now, we came to get you two.”

I raised an eyebrow, “A fan, huh? Is she really a fan, or does she want some, shall we say, Vitamin C?” And I giggled at my use of one of Y2J’s many phrases. Paul rolled his eyes, “Who knows, you can be the judge of that though. If she’s a bitch to you then we’ll know for sure.”

I nodded, “If she’s a bitch I’m kickin’ her to the curb. Who cares if Randy wants her, he can meet TONS of women at a bar.” Dave smiled, “Okay Rea. We’ll keep that in mind. Lets go, I need to shower.” I grabbed Dave’s hand, “Aww... Big Bad Batista’s all sweaty, Poor Thing.” And we went back to our locker room.

When we got there we found Randy and a very pretty young woman talking on the couch. I smiled, seems nice enough. She got up, “HI! It’s great to meet you both!” And she shook our hands, “My name’s Leah, I’m a BIG fan.” I smiled, “It’s great to meet a fan. I figure you meant the guys though.”

Leah smiled, “Well, yes. BUT after your debut tonight I’d have to say I’m a fan of yours too.” I looked at her oddly, “Thanks, kind of weird considering I didn’t do much, but that’s cool.”

Randy spoke up, “You did great out there Rea. Definetly made the kiss believable.” I rolled my eyes, “That’s because I enjoyed it Randall. Why wouldn’t I? It was with Dave. Had it been with you I woulda been a tad uncomfortable. But yea... that was the easiest part of the match for me.”

Randy smirked, “Yep. You and your Snuggle Bear. How sweet. Seriously though...Leah here mentioned how she enjoyed the little concert you gave everyone last week.” I rolled my eyes, “Yep... I bet you were just DYING to mention that weren’t you?” Randy smirked, “Well of course I was.”

I rolled my eyes, “Then you’ll be happy to hear that Leah here isn’t the only one who enjoyed it.” Randy laughed, “What, Toby Keith called you up and tell you good job or something?” I nodded, “He didn’t call me, but he called Bisch.”

Leah’s eyes got big, “Toby saw that? Damn, I wouldn’t want to be you.” I smiled, “Yep. But he said he liked it so it’s all good. Now if only I could convince the head hanchos to stop airing my unscheduled karachoie I’d be perfectly content.”

Paul laughed, “That won’t happen anytime soon hun. It’ll probably haunt you for years.” I rolled my eyes, “Figures, AH... there ain’t shit I can do about it now anyways, so I might as well get used to it.” And with that I sat down on the couch next to Leah and Dave went to take a shower.

Chapter 25

--Next Week--

The quarter of a million dollar Diva search was starting tonight. I had gone with the guys to the special last Thursday and it had proved to be entertaining, what with some chick jumping on Paul and all. All ten girls seemed pretty but then the Coach got to Amy. I stared at her trying to figure out how I recognized her, yes she was from Peoria, IL and I had been there, many times... but that doesn’t mean that’s where I know her from.
After Coach and the girls got out of the ring I went on to I figure if I need to fine information somewhere why not go there first? I can do a Yahoo search if I can’t find anything out about Amy on I clicked on the ‘get to know the finalists’ link and clicked on Amy’s picture.

I was reading her profile and I got down to the part I had been waiting for. My eyes got wide... “THAT’S where I know her from! Hot Damn!” Paul looked over at me sort of worried, “You okay Rea?” I glanced at him, “Yea, fine Paulie.” Paul chuckled, “Then what did you just yell about?” I smiled, “Okay... I KNEW that I knew Amy, one of the Diva contestants, from somewhere. I just figured out why is all.” Paul rolled his eyes, “That’s all huh? Well where do you know her from Rea??”

I smiled, “Well Ms. Amy was in Toby Keith’s video “Whiskey Girl” which as you all know I love. I should make ya’ll sit and watch CMT with me sometime.” Paul laughed, “So she was the ‘whiskey girl’ huh? I wonder if she saw you singing that song... that would be sort of interesting.” I rolled my eyes, “What is it with you guys and wanting people to have seen that embarrassing moment? God... you all suck.”

Paul laughed, “We suck huh?” I rolled my eyes, “Well, not literally of course.” Then I thought about it, “No... it’s Kurt Angle who sucks, not ya’ll. You’re just a pain in my ass.” Dave looked over, “What’d you say about your ass?” I rolled my eyes, “Okay... it’s official... you guys are all twerps.”

Randy came over, “Wow I haven’t heard anyone use the word twerp in years. Way to bring it back into the limelight.” I turned to Randy and made a face at him, “And YOU sir are the KING of the twerps.” Randy smiled, “Should I be proud, or offended?” I rolled my eyes, “Oh just shut up.”

“What are we doing tonight?” Ric came over, “Well... H has a match against Eugene. We were all planning on accompanying him to the ring. What do you say, care to join us?” I shook my head, “Now if Eugene was really as ‘special’ as the character he plays then I’d put my foot down. It’s just too bad you have to hurt him Paul.”

Paul nodded, “Yea, he’s really a nice guy. His character though... that gets pretty annoying pretty quickly.” I nodded, “I know what ya mean. If fans are around then he’s a whole other person. But seriously, you’re set to really hurt him aren’t you?” Paul nodded, “Well of course. How would it look if I lost to Eugene?” I rolled my eyes, “Oh it would look SO horrible. You would definetly not deserve a title shot then... oh wait, you’re not getting another one anyways... Oops.”

Paul rolled his eyes, “Rea... shut up.” I smirked, “Oh... did I hit a nerve? What don’t like the fact that you’re losing your shot to Randall here?” Paul laughed, “Nope, that’s not it. I just want you to shut up and do your job.” I stuck my tongue out at Paul, “Well... for your information my job is to annoy the ever living shit out of you Mr. Levesque.” Paul shook his head, “Well, you’re doing a pretty damn good job.” And I smiled sweetly at Paul, “I’m sorry Paulie. I’ll let you be for a while, but not for too long.”

About 15 minutes later Paul was picking on me... why he started I really couldn’t tell you. Maybe he was trying to get back at me? Who the hell knows. “Oh Rea... Rea...” I looked at him not amused at all, “What the hell do you want NOW Paul?” He smirked, “I think you should sing a song for us, as long as it’s not country I’m all for it.” I just stared at him, “Come again?”

Paul laughed and shook his head, “Sing us a song... I’m bored. I need to hear your beautiful voice right about now.” I blinked, “No.” Paul looked at me oddly, “Why not?” I sighed, “You’ll only make fun of me again. And what the hell is it with you saying I have a beautiful voice? Ya’ll make fun of it all the damn time, it can’t possibly be that good if you make fun of it all the damn time.”

Paul sighed again, “Andrea... I’ve never made fun of your voice. I admid I have made fun of your choice of music... but there is NOTHING wrong with your voice honey. It IS beautiful.” I looked over at him trying to figure out if he was lying or not, “You serious?” Paul nodded, “Of course I’m serious. I don’t joke about stuff like that. You really DO have a beautiful voice. I think you could sing better songs then Toby Keith though, that’s all.”

That got a small smile on my face, “What, you want me to break into a classic, hmm?” Paul nodded, “Yes, I would enjoy that quite a bit.” I nodded, “Okay then.” I thought about it for a while. “Actually... it’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s not country either.” And with that I got out my Hoobastank cd and put it in the cd player.

“Out of Control” by Hoobastank
I've done everything as you say

I smiled after I was finished. Everyone’s eyes were wide, there was a knock on the door. No one moved to get it, I rolled my eyes and grabbed the door. “What can I do for you this oh so wonderful evenin’?” Chris Irvine (Jericho for those of you who don’t know) was at the door, “Was that you?” I looked at him oddly, then realizing what he meant I said, “Damn... it was that loud huh?” Chris nodded, “Yes, but it was really good. Almost as good as Fozzy.” I rolled my eyes, “Of course YOU think that. I on the other hand think Hoobastank is better.” And I gave him a shit eatin’ grin.

Chris shook his head, “What’d they think of your performance?” I rolled my eyes, “They haven’t said anything. It seems I shocked them with my choice of music.” Randy laughed, “Hell yes you shocked us. Usually you’re singing to country shit all the time. Who was that by?” I smiled, “That was Hoobastank. Sarah made me a copy of the cd a few months ago.”

Dave smiled, “Ooo... bootleg copy. You have enough cash to by a cd hun.” I rolled my eyes, “Oh shut it. I happen to like the fact that she made it for me. Hell, she made it without my asking, so that’s even better.”

Then I got a epiphany and a huge grin appeared on my face. Paul laughed, “What are you thinking Rea?” I smiled sweetly, “Do I need some entrance music, or do I just have to use Evolution’s forever?” Ric laughed, “You could probably get your own if need be, why?” I shrugged, “No real reason. I just want “Out of Control” as my music if I get any. Maybe not the lyrics though, maybe just the music. Know what I mean?” They nodded.

Chapter 26

We were sitting in the Evolution locker room watching RAW when the wanna-be Diva contestants segment started. Don't get me wrong... a few of the diva hopefuls are okay but then there's Carmella. She just irks me, doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with the wrestling aspect. Carmella, Ms. Playmate of the year, (GAG ME) is there for one reason and one reason only, the quarter of a mill. I'd rather see ANY of the other finalists win, because if Carmella wins I'll have to kick some playmate ass.

Back to the challenge of the week... each girl had to make a 'presidential' speech stating why they would be the best diva and why people should vote for them. Most of them were really good but I was waiting for Amy's. Amy usually has some pretty funny comments and gets people's attention, a very good thing to have in this contest. Amy came up on the screen and I shushed the boys... they know to be quite otherwise they won't be gracing the world with their offspring anytime soon.

At then end of Amy's speech she REALLY got my attention. She mentioned Evolution, mainly how they need to be punished via spanking and how SHE would be the Diva for the job. When Amy went off air I turned to Paul, completely ignoring Joy. I had a HUGE smile on my face, "OH Paulie! I just got a wonderful idea."

Paul stared at me, semi amused, "What is it this time Rea?" I batted my eyelashes (a trick I learned from my 6 year old cousin, Kate) and approached Paul, "You have a lot of pull in what takes place each week, right?" Paul nodded, "Yes. Why?"

I shrugged, "Oh no real reason. I just thought that I should accompany young Randall down to the ring next week at the beginning of the show." Paul smiled knowing there was a plan brewing up in my mind, "What did you have in mind?" I smiled sweetly, "Amy mentioned how Evolution needs a good spanking." I paused and my smile turned sinister, "Apparently they need a reminder... I am the one who spanks you. NOT Amy, NOT Trish, HELL not even Bisch. Andrea Sage Steffen is the woman who spanks Evolution is they get out of hand."

Ric, whom had been sitting and listening to the conversation play out, laughed. "I like it. You shouldn't got that far on screen... but EVERYONE needs a reminder that you ARE a member of Evolution. And that Evolution doesn't take shit from ANYONE... lat alone a woman who isn't part of the WWE yet."
Paul smiled, "I like the way you two think. We need to inform Vince and the creative staff that there has been a slight change to the script next week. Andrea will join Randy in the ring to interrupt the diva segment. While you're just about to leave grab a mic and say your piece. We can fine tune what is said before next week. Nice idea Andrea."

I smiled, "I try. Besides I'm a member of Evolution... we dish out shit, we do NOT take it." Rick nodded, "Well said." I smiled again, "I can't wait for next week. The little pussies won't even see it coming."


--Next Monday--

RAW started with the elimination of a diva hopeful, Coach was taking too damn long so Randy and I interrupted him. The Evolution music hit and Coach got nervous, it was afterall only weeks ago when I sicked Batista on him.

Randy and I made our way down to the ring. Randy was in a blue dress suit and a pair of tight fit black dress pants, basically he looked good enough to eat. I was dressed in a short black dress with a plunging neck line, and even if I do say so myself I was getting some cat calls from the crowd.

We finally got to the ring and Randy grabbed a mic. "You're taking up my time." He ripped the envelope from Coach's hands and opened it, "Michelle... bye. I guess you won't be buying your sister a car afterall." Randy and I laughed and Michelle was forced to leave the arena. (Author's Note: I don't know which diva was eliminated that night and the first name that popped into my head was Michelle, if anyone knows who it was lat me know and I'll change it. Thanks!)

Randy started talking then. About how he would beat Chris Benoit at Summer Slam and would become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion EVER. He was pretty much just talking about himself like always. We were about to leave the ring when I stopped Randy and took his mic from him.
I glared at all the diva hopefuls, glaring the most at Carmella of course and then shifted my gaze to Amy. I lifted the mic to my mouth, "Oh and ladies. If ANYONE is going to spank Evolution... It's gonna be ME!" And I threw the mic down at the girls feet making a few of them jump. With that said and done Randy and I made our way out of the ring and back to the locker room.

When we got backstage I started laughing my ass off. Randy turned to me, "What's so damn funny Rea?" I held my hand up while trying to get it together. "That was great. I had to try my hardest not to break character out there." Randy was a tad confused, "And why is that?" I smiled at Randy's comment.
"OF course you wouldn't know what I was talking about. When I said my piece all I could think of was that there is an NSYNC song 'It's Gonna Be Me' I just realized it when I went out there too." Randy shook his head, "Okay then. What a great reason to almost break face." And he rolled his eyes.

I smiled, "Well you know that I listened to all that pop stuff when I was younger. Hanson, Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears before the boob job of course, NSYNC and Christina Agulera. They were all groups or artists that I listened to. Hell, I still have their cd's even... I don't listen to them but I still have them."

Randy shook his head, "Damn... why'd you have to get on THIS subject? It's a damn good thing you weren't reminded of a Hanson song or you would have started to sing it." I smiled sweetly and Randy ruffled my hair, "Has anyone ever told you how weird that is?"

My eyes lit up and I started singing the song 'Weird" by of course... Hanson.

Isn't it weird. Isn't it strange.
Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train
We're both trying to find a place in the sun
We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone
Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes

Randy just stared at me while I was belting out a Hanson song. He had no earthly idea what the hell I was singing. When I finally stopped Randy just shook his head, "Should I even ask?" I smiled, "That was 'Weird" by Hanson. Actually... that was only the first part of the song, if you want me to sing the rest I'll have to play the cd otherwise I'm stumped."

Randy shook his head, "Thought so." And we finally got back to the locker room. Ric smiled at us, "So Angel what did you talk about on the way back this time?" Randy shook his head, "She started talking about boy bands. Then she started singing a Hanson song to me." And he cringed.

I smiled, "It wasn't THAT bad. I could have made it a worse song." Randy looked at me skeptically. I raised an eyebrow at him, "So you'd rather I sang 'Mmmbop' next time around? I can arrange that you know." Randy shook his head no emphatically, "Id rather you NOT sing Hanson songs. Anything's better then Hanson!" I smiled, "Even country?" Randy grimaced, "Yes. Even country."

Chapter 27
--Wednesday Afternoon--

We had just gotten back from the gym and I was just getting ready to take a shower, get all the gym gunk and sweat off me. Amazingly I enjoyed going to the gym now. Probably because I feel I need to become more lean and muscular in order to look better on tv. Not that I'm vain or anything but I know that when I weigh less and of course have more muscle definition (can't forget that one) I'll feel better being on tv weekly. I just wish we didn't have to go so damn early all the time.

I brought my cd player into the bathroom so I could jam (listen) to some music while in there. Most people find it odd that I listen to music while in the shower, especially that I do so while staying at a hotel. But considering that I stay in hotels 200 days a year... I just consider it a normal everyday activity.
I haven't gotten too many complaints. And the complaints that I have gotten... those were withdrawn once they saw the size of Dave or Paul. I just like the fact that they're so big that they scare people.

Anyways... I went into the bathroom and started my Ashlee Simpson cd. I listened to the first song 'Autobiography' and got everything ready for the shower, got my stuff out and grabbed some towels to dry off with. OH and the clothes... can't forget those now can we? That would be very bad, very very bad.
By the time that song was over I was ready to actually take the damn shower. I skipped over a few songs and went to number four 'La La'. This song is by far my favorite I just love the whole damn thing.
------------------------------------------
You can dress me up diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts

Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like a ..... cat
Drink the milk up on the moon
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
---------------------------------------------
I was getting really into the song, dancing... actually pretty much just shaking my ass and failing my arms about, and singing my heart out. At my very favorite parts I was screaming the lyrics. I was just having fun with it. I put the shampoo in my hair.
-----------------------------------------------
You can meet me on an airplane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boom-a-rang
I'll come back and beat you up

Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like a .....cat
Drink the milk up on the moon
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
-----------------------------------------------------
I went on doing my regular shower activities, rinse shampoo out, put in conditioner, wash face, etc. And YES... I do leave the conditioner in the entire time. Long thick hair like I have needs all the conditioner it can get. That is why I use Dove Intense Moisture shampoo and conditioner, it works wonders on my hair. Oh... don't even try to brush thru the hair if there wasn't any conditioner left because that just doesn't work.
-----------------------------------------
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like a ....cat
Drink the milk up on the moon
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la

You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like a ....cat
Drink the milk up on the moon
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be your french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like a ....cat
Drink the milk up on the moon
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la

Ashlee Simpson's "La La" of her Autobiography cd
----------------------------------------------------
I was in the shower for a little over 15 minutes. When I got out Randy was on his cell phone. I saw him and waved, he waved back and mouthed 'mom'. I smiled, "HI MRS. ORTON!" Randy laughed, "Mom says hi back Rea." I nodded and poured myself a glass of water, the whole reason I had come out there.
Randy got off the phone and sat down on the stool nest to me, "What's up?" I smiled, "Not much. What'd your mom have to say?" Randy smiles, "She wants to know when she finally gets to meet you." I laughed, "The next time we're near Saint Louie... I'll definetly meet her then." I sighed, "Ma Orton is cool... I wish my mom were that cool." Randy laughed, "Ma Orton?" I smirked, "The first thing that came to mind."

Dave came into the room, "What cha chatting about?" I looked over at Dave and smiled, "Just how Ma Orton wants to meet me." Dave smiled and shook his head, "Now your mom DOES know that Rea's mine right?" Randy laughed, "Yes. She wasn't too pleased though... seems that she wanted Rea to be her future daughter in law."

When I heard that I pulled a face, "Well you know how I hate to disappoint and all... but there is no chance in hell I'm gonna marry you Randy... no offense of course. It's just, you and I... we just don't belong in that sort of a relationship... we're like brother and sister. PLUS you're way to pretty for me."
Randy raised an eyebrow, "And what does that make Dave? Ugly?" I laughed and shook my head, "No it's makes him studly. He has more muscles then you could ever dream of babe... Plus you groom yourself WAY too much for my liking. And as Ms. Shania Twain said..." And I sang "That Don't Impress me Much."

....................................................................................................

Chapter 28

That Sunday was Summer Slam and I was really excited to be going. Plus the whole fact that young Randall is set to win the title doesn't hurt much either. I sighed, "I guess all good things must come to an end, right?"

It was finally Sunday night and there I was, sitting with the guys reminiscing. "Remember the first time I yelled at you guys?" Paul laughed, "How could we forget. Here I thought we were getting a good personal assistant, and they give us you. I think we pushed your buttons for a few days before you blew up though."

I smiled, "Yea, at first I was scared shitless to be Evolution's personal assistant. You are all very intimidating when you want to be. But at the same time you can only take so much from you guys before ya blow a gasket, ya know?" Randy laughed, "The first time you saw Shawn... that was classic." Ric nodded, "You went into shock, just standing there in awe. I thought something was seriously wrong with you... then I noticed good ol' HBK was in the room." I blushed, "Yea, I was somewhat star struck. HA! Who am I kidding? I was full fledged star struck."

I looked at Dave, "The first time I met you. The first thought that came into my head was, Holy Shit he's huge! And of course the second thought was, Damn he's fine!" Everyone laughed and Randy asked, "What did you think of me?" I laughed, "I thought you were a cocky little bastard... a hot cocky little bastard." And everyone laughed again. "What? It's what I thought."

I sighed, "Fine then... Paulie, when I first me you I was shocked to be meeting Triple H, one of the greats in this business. Then you turned out to be an ass so I tried to be as big of a bitch as I possibly could. Maybe piss you off as much as possible." And I grinned over at Paul. Paul nodded, "Yep, I didn't want a PA so I was probably a prick to you. But I love you now Rea." I smiled sweetly, "I know and I love ya right back big man."

I sighed, "Ric, I didn't really have any nice thoughts about you. My dad completely hates you so I just hated you right along with him. But after working with you for a short time I realized what a nice guy you are. Now you're like a third grandpa to me." Ric smiled, "Yep, not many people like the nature boy. And I think of you like a daughter honey." I smiled, "Group hug?" They all nodded, "Group Hug!"

That night Randy became the youngest man to ever hold the World Heavyweight championship. The pay per view ended with Randy crying and holding his new championship belt. Evolution didn't come down to congratulate him, which everyone will understand soon, it was just Randy and the belt.

--Monday Night RAW--
I couldn't be at RAW that night but I did sit down and watch it while working on stuff for the guys. I thought Randy's celebration at the start of RAW was a bit much. All that damn gold confetti, it was more of a hassle then anything else.

I watched sadly while Randy accepted Benoit's challenge. I sighed, "The end of an era." And shook my head sadly. Later that night when Evolution came out to 'help' Randy I waited patiently. Randy won and they started the 'celebration' in the ring.

When Paul forced Randy to be looking at him when he gave him the evil look and the thumbs down... I almost had to shut the tv off. They beat the ever living tar out of Randy and that is how the RAW ended, with Paul and Dave screaming "You're nothing without us!"

I just stared at the screen after RAW went off air. I mean, yeah... I had been expecting all of that to happen, it was in the script. But at the same time I guess I was hoping that it wouldn't go down like that. I sighed and got back to my work

--One Week Later--

RAW opened to some unfamiliar music that night. No one knew what to expect when 'Out of Control' started in the speakers. "Who is this JR?" "I don't know King, maybe we should wait and see."

After a few seconds I came out from behind the curtain. I made my way down to the ring in a short form fitting maroon dress. I was extremely pissed, you could tell that just by the look on my face and the way that I walked. When I finally got to the ring I grabbed a mic.

"What the hell happened last week?!? I'm gone one fucking week and your turn on Randy?!" I growled, "Get your ass down here Hunter!" The Evolution music plays and the three men, Triple H, Batista and Flair walk down to the ring dressed to the nines.

When they got into the ring I walked over to Triple H and stared him down... as best as I could anyway, but I was standing at his height with my heels on so it looked good. I glared at Triple H, "Well... I'm waiting." Hunter said nothing and it pissed me off even more. "HUNTER! What did you do last week?" Hunter just smirked and I growled into the mic, "Better yet... WHY??"

"Everyone wants to know why. Why did Evolution turn on Randy. You want to know why damnit?! Randy got too damn cocky for his own good. He does not deserve that title. Hell... he didn't even deserve the title shot, let alone the damn TITLE!!" And his face gradually turned red while he screamed into the mic.

I looked at Evolution and tried to comprehend what they just told me. I smiled evilly, "You know what? I agree completely!" And I glared at the camera, "ORTON! You do not deserve that title! That belt belongs to one person and that is The Game, Triple H. NOT the 'legend killer' Randy Orton!" And I threw the mic down to the mat.

Evolution all had evil smiles on their faces and Batista started flexing and being the 'evil animal' that he is. We walked back down out of the ring and I had my arms wrapped around Batista's middle cuddling into him and that was the picture that we left to go to commercial.

Chapter 29
--The Next Monday--

I was walking around backstage all by my lonesome, everyone had left the locker room as soon as we got there. And hell... I wasn’t about to spend the whole damn night all by myself in that stuffy room so I was walking around trying to find something to do.

Somehow I ended up in catering and I saw Dave sitting with some others and I headed over there. I sat next to him and after a while I noticed his staring. I looked at him oddly, “What?” Dave smiled and kept staring. I tried to ignore it but when you KNOW someone’s staring it doesn’t just go away.

“WHAT!?” Dave laughed, “Have I ever told you how beautiful you look when you smile?” I smiled, “Why no. I don’t believe so.” Dave pulled me onto his lap so I was nose to nose with him. “Andrea, you look extremely beautiful when you smile.” I smiled and got even closer to him (although I don’t know how I could’ve gotten closer) “You don’t say.” He smirked, “I do say.” And what started as an innocent comment turned into a full fledged make out session.

After a few minutes Randy came over. “Hey guys...” Neither of us answered. “GUYS!!” I sighed and we looked at Randy, “Yes?” Randy smirked, “Think you can keep the PDA to a minimum while in catering? I mean... people are TRYING to eat here.” I growled at Randy then looked at our table, “Where’d everyone go?” Randy laughed, “They left as soon as you started making out.” I looked at Dave, “Oops.” Dave laughed, “Oops??” I smiled meekly, “I feel bad, but at the same time I don’t really care.”

--The Next Week--

I was in the process of getting ready in the Evolution locker room. I had already gotten changed into a dark purple halter top and some seemingly skin tight jeans, I was just putting on the eye shadow and was about to start on the hair when there was an excited knock on the door.

I rolled my eyes at Dave who was not moving from his spot to answer the door and made my way over to the door myself. “No honey... don’t get up. I’ll get it.” Dave smiled, “Thanks babe.” I turned to flip him off and finally opened the door.

Stacy Keibler was standing there, “Oh My God! I have the best news!!” I smiled, “You won the lottery and are splitting it with me?” Stacy laughed, “Not quite. Guess who’s gonna be in the audience tonight?!” I gasped, “FANS?!?” Stacy sighed, “Not them silly.” I shrugged, “I dunno Stace... who?” Stacy squealed, “HOOBASTANK!”

I just stared at her, “Wait... did you say Hoobastank?!” Stacy nodded, “Isn’t it great??” “HOLY SHIT! I have a segment out there.” Dave wrapped his arms around me, “That’s not all babe. They’re coming back stage.” I turned to him, “You KNEW about this?!” Dave smiled, “Sure did.” Stacy laughed, “Seems a certain Dive caught their attention and they want to meet her.” I gulped, “No shit?” Stacy smiled, “No shit.”

My eyes widended, “Damn, I hope they don’t mind ‘Out of Control’ is my entrance music.” Dave smiled and gave me a reassuring squeeze, “Nope. They okayed it before it was ever used.” I just stood there for a while.

“SHIT? I still gotta curl my hair!” Dave smiled, “You gonna curl all of it, or just the ends?” I smiled, “All of it. I know how much it turns you on.” Dave smiled, “Correction... you ALWAYS turn me on. I just think the curly hair is hot babe.” I smiled, “I know babe, that’s why I’m doing it.” I kissed him on the nose and went back to getting ready for the night.

I was walking around backstage nervous and bumped into Shawn Michaels. “Hey there. You okay? You look a little woozy.” I smiled, “I’m fine Shawn. Well... not really.” Shawn put his arm around my shoulder, “Tell good ol’ HBK what’s wrong honey.” I giggled and Shawn’s smile got bigger.

“Well... you know the music I come out to, right?” Shawn nodded, “No Sexy Boy... but yea it’s good.” I looked at him and rolled my eyes because it was obvious he was joking. “Well... as I was saying, the band that performs it is going to be here tonight.” Shawn smiled and patted me on the back, “If they’re coming here it means you got their attention and they want to meet you. Nothing bad honey.”

I thought about what Shawn said, “You’re right.” Then I smiled and gave him a hug, “Has anyone told you how good you are at giving advice and listening to other’s problems?” Shawn smiled, “It has been mentioned a few times.” I nodded, “Figures.” Shawn chuckled, “Speaking of this band... do you like any of them?”

I looked at Shawn and narrowed my eyes, “Nice subject change bucko. And to tell ya the truth I don’t really know what they look like off the top of my head.” Shawn raised an eyebrow, “And why is that?” I smiled sheepishly, “The copy of their cd that I have is just that, a COPY. I’ve only seen what they look like in the videos and the only one I can picture is the lead singer dude.” Shawn laughed and shook his head.

“So there’s no competition for Batista then?” I laughed, “Nope. Not from them at least. You on the other hand... that’s another story all together.” Shawn smiled, “Can’t resist the charm, huh?” I laughed, “THAT... and I’ve like you since I was, what... 12.” Shawn’s eyes got wide, “How old are you now?”
I smiled sweetly, “It’s not nice to ask a woman her age Mr. Hickenbottom. And 24.” Shawn nodded, “The real name, huh?” I smiled sweetly, “Just kidding buddy. But yeah... I’ve liked you half of my life... that’s kinda sad.” Shawn chuckled, “How’s that sad?” I smiled, “Oh... just that there are MANY women that can say the exact same thing, that’s all.”

Shawn chuckled, “Okay there honey.” I swatted his arm, “I’m serious mister. TONS of little girls pictured you as their ‘perfect man’ when they were younger.” Shawn smiled, “I’ll remember to mention this to Becca sometime soon.” I smiled, “You do that. She actually got you to settle down. Amen to that!”

Later that night I was waiting in the locker room for my segment. I was set to come out about half way thru the show, talk shit about young Randall, talk the rest of Evo up... you know, the usual for my character. Have I mentioned how much I hate the repetitiveness of this angle sometimes?

There was a knock on the door and Dave got up to get it this time. He stood at the door talking quietly for a few minutes and then let whomever it was inside. I wasn’t aying any attention thought. I was pretty much staring off into space lost in thought. Laughter shook me out of my thoughts. I turn to glare at whomever is laughing, and imagine my surprise when standing there laughing at me is none other then Dave and Hoobastank.

My face went totally blanc then to screw with them I figured I’d go into my Evolution persona. I got a sinister smile on my face and stared at Hooba seductively. I stood up, “Oh, let me introduce myself. I’m Andrea.” Then they started to introduce themselves.

“I’m...” I interrupted them before they could really even start, “Oh no. I don’t care what your NAMES are. To me you’re just Hoobastank.” Then I got a sexy smile on my face, “You’re a really hot Hoobastank, but that’s besides the point.”

They just stares at me for awhile before looking at each other, finally one of ‘em spoke what they all must have been thinking. “Damn... she’s a bitch.” And I couldn’t contain it anymore, I burst out laughing. They looked at me like I had a screw loose and eventually I stopped laughing.

“I’m sorry. That was just too much fun. My name really IS Andrea, but I’m not really like that I swear.” Dave spoke up, “Yeah. That’s only the act she puts on for the fans. Dre doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.” I rolled my eyes, “Sure babe. Okay... there’s what I REALLY wanted to say... ‘Holy Shit! You’re HOOBASTANK!’ Aren’t you glad I kept that inside??” Then I smiled cheekily.

They were all chuckling. “I’m really good at comic relief, huh?” And I moved my eyebrows up and down a few times. “So... do you guys actually WATCH wrestling?” Some of them shrugged, others sort of nodded. “Okay then... if you don’t like watching sweaty Gods wrestle, why are you here?”

They laughed and the lead singer spoke up, “We heard that you come out to ‘Out of Control’ and we were wondering if you were, I guess you could say ‘cool enough,’ to use the song.” I smiled, “So... did I pass the test?” They smiled, “Yeah. Someone mentioned that you listen to our music all the time. Are you a really big fan?”

I smiled and nodded, “Yep. Hooba’s pretty much always in my cd player. My cousin is actually a bigger fan then I am, she’s actually the reason I like you guys in the first place. She listened to the cd so many times when I was with her that I became addicted.” They laughed.

Dave and I chatted with Hoobastank for awhile, pretty much until it was time for me to go out there, then my music started. I came down to the ring, “First off, I’d like to mention Hoobastanks’ in the crowd tonight. For those of you who don’t know they perform my theme music ‘Out of Control.’ So go out and buy their hit album entitled, get this... Hoobastank.” Amazingly I had some cheers for that. Hoobastank fans of course.

“Now for the reason I’m down here tonight. RANDY ORTON! You little piss ant! You stole the Heavyweight title right out from under H and you need to be punished DAMNIT!” Then I got that evil smile on my face, “So I took it upon myself to talk to Mr. Bishoff earlier tonight. You’re opponent for this evening... KANE!” I left the ring and the two gentlemen, Randy and Kane that is, made their way to the ring while I went over to the announce table to announce this wonderful match with King and JR.

Chapter 30
--Friday September 3rd--

Dave and I were on a plane to get to Kewanee Illinois. Not for anything wrestling related though, nope… we were going to Kewanee for a family reunion of sorts. My mom’s side of the family always gets together every labor day weekend. Kewanee has their ‘Hog Days’ that week and for as far back as I can remember I’ve been there for it. Not for the actual carnival crap, but to visit with family.

Dave had yet to meet any of my mom’s side of the family, with the exception of Sarah, and this was his chance to meet ‘em all. Not all of course, HA no way would ALL of the Vander’s clan be there, just the majority. If I haven’t mentioned it before my mom is one of 13 kids and I have over 34 cousins, if I were to make a list it would take much too long. Anyways, back to the activities at hand…

The pilot came over the loud speaker stating that we would be landing shortly. I squealed and grabbed Dave’s hand. “Sarah’s picking us up at the airport. I was going to ask Aunt Ann and Uncle Rick… but considering you’ve never met I figured Sarah would be a better choice. PLUS I haven’t seen her in ages!”
Dave smiled, “Okay Dre. Whatever you say Babe.” I smiled and pecked Dave on the lips. “You get to meet my little cousins tonight. We’re staying at Ann and Rick’s house so you’ll get to play with Zack, Katie and Nick for as long as you’d like.”

Dave laughed, “Fro as long as I want, huh?” I smiled and nodded, “Yep. Mom and Ash’ll get there between 10 and 11pm tonight. Mom may bring Mike also, but I’m not to sure since Ash and Mike tend to butt heads a lot.

The plane finally landed and we headed off to baggage claim. I spotted Sarah from far away and I got a huge smile on my face. Then my jaw dropped, “Shit! That couldn’t be!” Dave turned to me, “Babe?” I smiled, “I’m okay.” When we reached Sarah I gave her a dirty look.

“No way in HELL did you hook Jake Ma-FUCKIN-Hottie and NOT tell me.” Jake looked startled. I laughed and gave Sarah ha HUGE hug. Sarah smiled, “Surprised?” I just laughed, “Shocked as hell is more like it. Jake it’s nice to meet you, again. I’m Sarah’s beautiful, talented, whitty…” Sarah coughed, “Cocky.” I shot her a look, “Hey now… you know I was just teasin’. And it’s not cocky, it’s self assured, ask Paul.” Sarah laughed, “Whatever. Jake, this is Andrea and that hunk of beef is Dave Batista, her boy toy.”

I wiggled my eyebrows, “Hunk of beef is right.” And I growled like a jungle cat. Dave laughed, “Down tiger. I think you’re starting to scare off Jake.” He turned to Jake and they shook hands, “Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep her in line.” And he winked at Jake. I gave Dave a mean look. “No snuggling for you then.”

Jake looked at Sarah, “Damn, and I thought we were bad.” Sarah laughs, “Not compared to these two. We’re normal compared to them.” I smiled, “Normal’s overrated.” Sarah and I looked at each other and laughed.

Dave rolled his eyes, “Dre I’m gonna get our bags before we miss ‘em.” I smiled and rolled my eyes, “I’ll come help.” So we grabbed the bags and headed out of the Greater Peoria Regional Airport.

When we got to the car I smiled, “100 Stratusfaction Guaranteed, hmm?” Dave and I smiled and Sarah shot us a look. “If you could refrain from saying that sentence every time we get to my car I’d be happy.” I bit my lip, “Sorry. Hey Jake didn’t you have one of these a few years back?”

Jake looked at me oddly, “Yes, I gave it to my brother. How’d you know that?” I looked out the window, “Oh… no reason. I mean it’s not I looked for it every time we passed Family Video. Nope. Never happened.” Dave shot me a questioning look. “Fine! I had a crush on Jake, along with 90 of Kewanee. I’d just like to state that SARAH started it by telling me he looked like Ashley Angel, even though he doesn’t.”

I smiled, “Oh… I remember this one time Sarah and I went into Family Video to rent movies and Jake was singing along with Aladdin. That was SO cute, only because Sarah and I started to sing the words too, just not as loud as Jake.” Jake turned and looked at me, “Aladdin’s cool. But what I want to know is if you really planned to rent movies or if you were just there to look at me.”

I laughed, “Don’t get a big head there Jakie-poo. We actually went to rent movies that time. I can’t count the number of times we say your car there so we decided to see if there was anything to rent, 9 out of 10 there weren’t.” Jake laughed, “You’d be surprised by how many girls went in there and didn’t rent anything.” “HA! Hell no, that doesn’t surprise me at all.” Dave laughed, “So BOTH of you liked Jake then?”

I got quite then and Sarah smiled, “Yep. He had a girlfriend at the time and we both hated her. Me because she was a huge bitch, Andy? Why’d you hate her??” I smiled, “One, because she was a bitch to you. And two because… well, she was a skank!” Jake laughed, “If you’re talking about Ashley, yep. She was.” Dave smiled again, “And which one of you two liked him more?” I got a shit eating grin on my face, “SARAH! She’d flirt with him ALL then time. She told me tons of stories about how you’d talk and how you asked her out a couple of times… while still going out with skanky. Yep, it was all Sarah.”

Dave and Jake laughed. I hit Dave on the arm, “Not funny.” Jake smiled, “So Dave, have you met Andrea’s family yet?” I shook my head no. “Nope, I’ve met her parents and sister, but none of the rest of ‘em.” Jake laughed, “Damn, you’re in for a treat then. They’re huge.” I smirked, “Have you met them yet Jake?” Jake shook his head no, “I’ve seen them around town though.” Dave smiled, “So we’re in the same boat then.” Jake nodded.

I smiled, “Sarah Beth… I think these two can handle our uncles, all 13 of ‘em. What do you say?” Sarah laughed, “Hell no. These two are gonners, did you see how they treated Emily’s Jake?” I smiled, “Yeah, good point. But they were nice after a while.” Sarah laughed, “Yea… after Emily started crying.” And Sarah and I burst out laughing. “But seriously, this is a professional wrestler and a Marine we’re talking about here. I think they could take ‘em.” Sarah shrugged, “Maybe, but you weren’t there to see ‘em scare the shit out of Sami’s Jake. That was fucking hilarious. Seeing that little punk ass get the shit scared out of him. You could tell they were having fun with it.” I laughed, “Wish I’d a been there, the way Sami talked about her boyfriend makes me sick. ‘Everyone asked me why I was wearing this shirt with a J on it. It’s cuz of my boyfriend.’ Hell. I wondered the same damn thing.” Sarah laughed.

Dave and Jake were sitting there taking it all in. Dave saw the smirk on my face, “You little shits! I bet none of that happened.” I smiled, “Yea it did.” Sarah laughed, “At least part of it did.” Dave just shook his head. “Real funny girls.” Jake smiled, :You had me kinda worried there for a minute.” I smiled, “Why were you worried. You’re a Marine and Dave’s a Wrestler. Who’s gonna pick a fight with you two?” Sarah sighed, “Emily’s Jake might, if you piss Emily off again that is.”

With that said I got an idea. Sarah looked in the rear view mirror, “Oh No. What did I say?” I smiled, “Emily. I’m gonna be forced to shove Dave in her face and make sure to rub in that my boyfriend’s hotter then hers. Hell, you could do the same thing Sarah.” Sarah smiled, “That is true. That little hoochie’s had boyfriends ever since she was in Kindergarten. I like that idea, I like it a lot.”

Jake looked at Dave, “Apparently they don’t like Emily.” I smirked, “What gave it away? The fact that she called her a hoochie? Because I’ve been doing that all my life.” Dave nodded, “Yep, no love loss there. I’d have to agree with Jake on this one. She’s your cousin for crying out loud.”

I rolled my eyes, “Yes, she is my cousin. Which means I wouldn’t beat her up. That does not mean I’m gonna be nice to her. Same with Samantha. Sami has no respect, for anyone… she’s even worse then my sister and I hadn’t thought that was possible before.” Jake laughed, “Continue with the ending we all know you’re dying to give.” I blinked, “Fine. So Ha!” And I stuck my tongue out at Dave and then smiled, “Couldn’t keep a straight face, sorry.” Jake smirked, “If you couldn’t keep a straight face, does that mean it’s gay?” My eyes watery and I couldn’t help but laugh at that. “I like your humor, it’s a lot like mine.”

We finally got to Aunt Ann and Uncle Rick’s house and I was practically bustin’ at the seams. Aunt Ann and Uncle Rick knew that we were coming but none of their kids knew so I wanted to get in there already.

As we approached the door Sassy, their miniature lassy dog was barking up a storm. “Calm down Sassy, it’s just me.” I opened the door and reached down to pet sass and calm her down. Sassy was running around in circles when we all made it inside.

We started towards their family room and Uncle Rick met us in the hallway. “Hi girls!” I smiled, “Hi Uncle Rick! How have you been?” “Pretty good, everyone’s in the back.” Then he looked at the two gentlemen we had with us and raised his eyebrows. I smiled, “Introductions later. I’m itching to see those kids of yours.”

We made our way to the back of the house and I shouted, “HELLO! Anybody home!?!” All four of them turned to us and Katie ran out of the spot on the couch, “DRE!!” I laughed and held my arms out waiting for a hug, “KATE!” And she hopped into my arms and we shared a huge hug.

Katie started to cry. “What’s wrong Katie Bug?” She sniffled, “I didn’t think you were coming.” I smiled and hugged her to my side, “Oh Honey. Of course I’d come. Nothing could stop me from seeing you guys.”

I smiled at Aunt Ann, “Hey! Get over here and give me a hug boys!” Zack and Nick both got up and each gave me a hug, not as big as the one Katie had given but it was better then I had expected.

I smiled over at Dave and grabbed his hand, “Guys, this is my boyfriend Dave. Dave, this is my Aunt Ann, Uncle Rick, and my 3 cute little cousins, Zack who’s 9, Katie who’s 7 and Nick who’s 5.” And my smile got bigger, “Speaking of Birthday’s Kaite’s was just two weeks ago. So Katie… present now, or after my mom and them get here?” Katie got a huge smile on her face, “Now!” Everyone laughed, “That’s what I thought Babe! Dave and I will go grab our stuff and we’ll be right back.”

Uncle Rick smiled, “Need any help?” I smiled and patted Dave’s arm, “Nope that’s what Dave’s for. Come on big boy Kate wants her way cool present.” Dave and I went to get our bags with Sarah’s keys, when we got outside Dave smiled. “That was one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.” I smiled sweetly, “Yeah, Katie’s my little munchkin. Sometimes it gets annoying, but I love her to pieces.”

..............................................................................
Chapter 31
--The Next Morning--

Have you ever had the feeling that you’re being watched? Well, that was the feeling I had as I woke up. I opened my right eye and looked to my side. Sure enough there was Katie waiting patiently for Dave and I to wake up.

“How long have you been there, kiddo?” Katie smiled sleepily. “Just a little bit. Will you play house with me?” I looked at her sternly, I usually say no to playing house because she insists on being a boy. “You can be the Mommy and Dave can be the Daddy? Please?” I smiled, that was just the cutest… but it didn’t work, “Sorry Katie Bug. You know I don’t like playing house. Maybe later.”

Katie stuck her bottom lip out and I smiled, “Why don’t you go get a movie while I wake Dave up and then we can watch a little bit.” Katie nodded and ran off to grab a DVD. I shook my head, she’s just the cutest with her little curls bouncing as she runs.

“Dave, Honey… get up.” Dave grunted. I smiled, “Come on Babe. Katie wants to watch a movie, and if you don’t get up now I’ll let her tackle you when she gets back.” Dave groaned and turned over facing me, “You wouldn’t.” I smiled wickedly, “Oh yes I would. She’s woken me up many times that way. I’m sure she’d love to conquer the mountain that is Dave.” Dave sighed and got up. “Happy now?” I smiled sweetly, “Very.”

Katie came running back into the room and handed me the DVD. “Ooo, ‘A Cinderella Story’ I’ve never seen this, is it good Kate?” Katie nodded and I put it in the DVD player and started it up. Dave smiled, “I bet you know all the words, don’t you Katie?” Katie got a big smile on her face, “Yep! This is my favorite movie!”

I sat down on the couch next to Dave and not two seconds later Katie climbed onto my lap. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. That’s the way Katie and I always watch our movies together. Dave looked on with a big smile on his face and I grabbed his hand.

A little bit later Katie went to get a drink and Dave pulled me onto his lap, “That was the cutest thing I’ve seen in a while.” I smiled and nodded, “Yep. Kate always sits on my lap, or Sarah’s if she’s here. It’s the way it’s always been.” Dave smiled, “She’s such a cutie.” I nodded, “Sure is.”

Katie came back into the room and she giggled as she got back onto the couch. “Are you gonna sit there for the rest of the movie?” I smiled, “Maybe. You wanna sit here? It’s really comfortable.” Katie looked at me oddly as I climbed of Dave’s lap. “You don’t mind, Dave?” Dave smiled, “Of course not. Although Dre here might get jealous of me for hogging her Katie Bug.”

Katie giggled and climbed onto Dave’s lap. I pretended to pout, sticking out my bottom lip and everything, “That’s not fair, she’s MINE!” Katie laughed and I smiled, “Okay, I guess it’s alright just this once. But I want her back later!” Dave nodded reluctantly, “Okay, I guess you can have her back later… Maybe.” Katie giggled more and we watched some more of the movie before we had to leave to go uptown to the YMCA for the Kewanee Hog Jog and the Kid’s Fun Run.

While we were waiting up at the Y we saw my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Gary. “Hey Andrea! How have you been?” I smiled at my Aunt Peggy, “I’ve been wonderful.” I gave Dave a look and smiled big, “How have you two been holding up?”

Gary smiled, “Pretty good. And who is this?” I smiled as Dave wrapped his arms around me, “This is my boyfriend Dave. He’s a professional Wrestler. Dave, this is my mom’s sister, my Aunt Peggy and her husband, my Uncle Gary.” Dave smiled, “It’s nice to meet both of you.” And he shook their hands.
When they were out of earshot I added, “That’s Emily and Sami’s mom. Aunt Peg’s really cool when her girls aren’t around.” Dave nodded, “You think we’ll see anyone else here?” I smiled and nodded, “Yep. Ann’s parents. And probably some more family members too, I don’t really know.”

We watched as Nick and Katie ran in their age group for the fun run. It shocked everyone to see Katie running far ahead of Nick and Uncle Rick. We were all screaming for Katie and she had a huge smile on her face as she passed us. She was one of the first kids to cross the finish line.

Aunt Ann got teary eyed, “Katie is usually so shy. I’m so proud of her.” I smiled and nodded. Aunt Ann had been saying that for a while now, but usually when she’s around us she’s not shy at all so I just kind of ‘smile and nod’ because I know she’s right. “I’m so glad that you girls are so nice to her and actually play with her when you see her. I think that’s part of the reason she’s breaking out of her shell.” I smiled, “Yep, Kate’s a sweet heart, how could you ever turn down playing with her.”

After Ann left Dave looked at me oddly, “Babe, you just turned down playing house with her this morning.” I rolled my eyes, “I know… I meant hanging out with her and doing other stuff, okay?” Dave laughed, “Okay. Whatever you say Babe.” And he wrapped his arms around me from behind and we watched the rest of the races.

As we were leaving my mom came up to us and she smiled and hugged me. “I’m so happy that you’re happy honey. I knew you’d find someone who you love like I do Mike someday. I’m glad it finally happened.” And she got teary eyed. I smiled and tried not to cry too. As far back as I can remember my mom had been telling me that she hoped I’d find someone who would make me happy and that I would want to be with forever.

On the ride back to Ann and Rick’s house I told Dave that. He smiled and kissed me softly, “I’m glad I’m the one that makes you so happy.” I smiled and leaned my head against his shoulder and sat there content for the rest of the ride to their house.

A little later we were getting snack food ready for the parade. Surprisingly I was actually helping this year, usually I’m told to watch the kids outside. I was helping make the puppy chow for everyone, because everybody here loves puppy chow. Ash was busy cutting the rice crispy treats into bars, which is always a very difficult job to do. My mom was making gobs of popcorn for everyone, translated… she was microwaving a box of bagged popcorn.
Dave was outside watching the kids play in the pool. And somehow the conversation had gotten to Dave and I. “So Dre, how long have you and Dave been going out?” I got the sweet smile on my face, you know the one I’m talking about, “Hmm… roughly 6 or 7 months. And they’ve flown by so fast.”

Aunt Ann smiled, “That’s how it went with your Uncle Rick and I when we first started dating. The only thing I have to look back on is the pictures though, so make sure you take lots of pictures.” I smiled, “Yep. Sure will, but we also have the tapes of RAW every week to look back on. Granted it’s not real everyday life, but it’s better then nothing.” Aunt Ann nodded, “Good point.”

I got a big smile on my face, “I haven’t told anyone this but Evolution makes the cover of RAW next month, and I’ll be included in that issue. The photos will be taken in a few weeks and I’m really looking forward to it.” They all smiled, and Ash spoke up, “Get me a copy of that issue then. I’ll show people that you actually made something of yourself at St. Albert.” I rolled my eyes, “Sure. Just don’t say anything bad about me while you show your friends.” Then I smiled evilly, “Otherwise I’ll have Dave beat the shit outta Erika, and you know how much pleasure I’d get out of that.” Ash rolled her eyes, “Yeah, whatever.”

We had finally gotten to the Dison’s to watch the parade. Don and Betty Dison are my Aunt Ann’s parents and Don owns his own company, ‘The Dison Agency’, as far back as I can remember everyone’s sat there to watch the parade. Don’s company is on the main corner that the parade comes down and turns at, so it’s a prime spot to watch the parade.

The parents went to get us some food for lunch at one of the little spots up town at the carnival. They get everybody some pork chop sandwiches and hamburgers, I’m a big pork chop sandwich fan so that’s what my mom always gets me.

About ten minutes after everyone had left Emily’s teal Chevy Blazer pulls into the parking lot. I got a huge smile on my face and Dave got up to get us some beers… and trust me to deal with Em I was gonna need a few. Emily and her Jake made their way over to the lawn chairs that Don had set up and I waved, “Hey Em. How have you been?”

Emily got a snotty smirk on her face, “I’ve been great! Everything with Jake is going GREAT, he gave me a promise ring.” My eyes got big, “Wow. Last time we talked I thought you two were calling it quits.” Emily gave me a mean look, “Well, things changed. Anyway… how’s your life been, still boring as hell?”

I laughed, “BORING?! Wow, I guess no one told you about my job then?” Emily looked at me oddly, “You have a job?” I smiled, “Oh yea, nothing much. I just work for the WWE, translated that’s World Wrestling Entertainment. Ya know, that show you made fun of me for loving? I work for it.” Emily nodded, “You work backstage, huh?”

I nodded, “That’s what I did in the beginning. Now I’m on tv every week.” I could see the look of recognition on Jake’s face, he probably watches it, who knows no one gave him time to speak. Emily narrowed her eyes, “Okay, so you’re on tv. Who cares, no one watches that stupid wrestling.” Jake just shook his head in disagreement. “Besides, I bet you STILL don’t have a boyfriend.” And with that said Emily got that snotty smirk of hers on her face again.

Jake was about to correct Emily when Dave emerged with our drinks. The cooler everything’s in was on the other side of the tree where the shade is. Dave handed me my beer, “Actually, she does. I’m her boyfriend.” Emily’s jaw dropped, “We’ve been together for quite some time now, it’s sad you don’t know much about your cousin, isn’t it?”

I smiled and took a drink of my beer. “Emily, this is my boyfriend Dave. Dave, Babe, this is my cousin Emily. And that’s her boyfriend Jake, I think he knows who we are.” Dave smiled and shook Jake’s hand, “It’s nice to meet you. So are you a wrestling fan?” Jake nods, “Sure am. I’ve been watching since I was a kid.”

I smiled at Emily, “And you said no one watches wrestling.” And I started laughing. Emily huffed and walked briskly to a different area of the property, Jake followed her mouthing ‘sorry’ as he left.

I turned to Dave thrilled, “That was so damn fun!” Dave smiled, “I’ll have to agree with you on that one. Question, how are YOU related to THAT?” I smiled and shrugged, “Well, to get technical my mom has this sister named Peggy, and unfortunately Peggy has these two daughters, Emily and Samantha, both of which are huge bitches.” Dave shook his head, “You know what I meant.” I smiled sweetly, “Yes I do. But now you know how Andrea gets her bitchiness, dealing with her cousins and her sister.” Dave shakes his head and bends over to give me a quick kiss, “I’m beginning to understand that.”

Chapter 32

There was a knock on the door to the dressing room I was in. “What do you want!” Who ever it was laughed, “Aren’t you ready yet Rea?” I opened the door. “No PAUL, I’m not ready yet.” Paul looked at me oddly, “You look ready to me.” I glared at him, “I hate this outfit. I feel like… well DAMN IT… I feel like Trish Stratus.” Paul laughed. “You don’t look like Trish, that’s for sure.”

I glared at him again, “You fuckin’ know what I meant Paul.” Paul nodded, “You meant a slut. But you don’t look like a slut Rea. You look like you belong on the cover of RAW with the rest of Evolution, so get your ass out there!” I blinked, “You mean it, I don’t look like a slut?” Paul groaned, “REA… if I didn’t mean it I wouldn’t have said it. You know that.”

I smiled, “Thanks Paulie!” And I ran out of the room excitedly. Paul followed, “And besides that. If anyone did call you a slut… we’d kick their ass.” I laughed, “You won’t always be there Paul.” Paul smiled, “No… but Dave will. And rest assured, if anyone calls you a slut while he’s around they’re a dead man.” I smiled, “I know, isn’t it GREAT!”

When we entered the room I was all cheerful and all smiles again. “Let’s get this party started!” Ric laughed, “What did you do Paul?” Paul smiled, “Only convinced her she looks hot. Not too hard to do.” Dave came over to me and wrapped his arms around me, “Nope. Afterall… My Dre IS beautiful.” I smiled and kissed Dave’s cheek. “You better believe it Baby!”

The photographer came over when he noticed that all members were present. “Hi everybody. We ready to go?” I smiled at Rich Freeda, “Yep. Sorry bout the wait Rich.” Rich smiled at me, “No need to apologize. It could have been worse.” I scrunched up my face disgusted, “Yea. I could have been in a bikini.” Dave laughed, “That actually isn’t a bad idea. What do ya say Rich. Dre in a bikini on top of my shoulders?” I rolled my eyes, “That’s just silly.” Then my smile turned evil, “I’d want to be on Paul’s shoulders.”

Everyone’s face fell and I couldn’t help but bust out with laughter. “That was so great! You’re faces… you look like fish!” Dave shook his head, “Oh that’s it.” I saw the look in his eye and started running, “Dave… Baby, I was kidding!” And I shrieked when he started chasing after me. Ric laughed, “I don’t think we’ll see them for a while.” They heard a scream. “Dave got her.” Paul laughed, “HEY DAVE! WORK NOW, PLAY LATER!”

It took a few minutes but we finally got back to work. “Nice! Okay Andrea… look at Dave seductively. That’s it! Ric, Paul… react to the two of them. Good. Dave…” And Rich laughed, apparently they’re going to improvise. Paul laughed, “Dave. Hey DAVE!” Dave didn’t respond. “Dave. Come on man, we gotta get work done.” Dave reluctantly stopped kissing me and we broke apart.

“Well… I liked that.” Everyone laughed. Rich came over with his camera in hand, “Are you two gonna do more kissing like that on screen?” I looked at Dave, “I dunno. Are we?” Dave smiled, “What do you think guys?” Paul and Ric looked at each other. “Well… we could work it in. You kiss every time Dave starts a match or when he wins… something like that.” Paul nodded, “Yeah, like a ‘good luck’ kiss. Somethin’ like that.”

I smiled, “Okay. Why’d you wanna know Rich?” Rich smiled, “Well… if so then I could take some more pictures of just Dave and Andrea. Sort of like the pictures of Trish and Christian a while back.” I smiled, “That could work. There’s one difference though, we’re really together and Trish and Jay weren’t.” Rich nodded. Dave smiled, “If I pay you extra money will you take some for me? Not to be put in the magazine?”

Rich smiled, “I’ll do that even without you paying extra.” I smiled, “See Dave it pays to be nice. You get what you want easier that way.” Rich laughed, “No offence Andrea… but I think Dave probably gets whatever he wants all the time. His size and stature is VERY intimidating.”

Dave looked at me with a ‘told ya so’ look on his face. I rolled my eyes, “Oh whatever D. You’re SO not right.” Ric laughed, “Actually… Dave is right Rea. Rich just proved that.” I looked at Ric evilly, “I’d watch what I’d say if I were you old man. I might just have to teach you a lesson or two in how to treat a lady.” Ric smiled. “And don’t you DARE say I’m not a lady!”

Paul laughed, “You just said it for him Rea.” I turned to Paul, “Oh… sticking your BIG nose where it doesn’t belong, are we?” Paul raised his eyebrows. I smiled sweetly, “I’m just kidding Pauly. You know I love ya. Same goes to you too Rickster.” Dave looked at me sadly. “Oh Snuggs… I love you most of all. You are, after all, the only one I give my lovin’ to.” Dave smiled and dipped me and laid a big one on my lips.

Well it was Monday again and we were already at the arena. We had just gotten out of the mandatory meetings that Vince and Bischoff had started at the beginning of the month. Everyone has to be there, and if you’re not there you get fined.

At the meeting they had informed everyone of various new storylines that were going to be starting soon. Shockingly enough I was in one of the up and coming ones. Randy was set to get a new valet/girlfriend. Randy and Batista were going to feud and I would kick Randy’s valet’s ass. It wasn’t determined who Randy’s valet would be yet though.

After we had gotten back to our locker room I couldn’t help it. I started laughing so damn hard. “There is no way in hell it’ll be believable that I can kick a diva’s ass. There’s only one Diva who I’ll be able to beat up and make it look right. Well, Unless they use one of the stupid ass diva contestants.” Paul looked at me oddly, “Who do you think it should be?” I just rolled my eyes, “Which diva never really wrestles? Stacy Keibler. Not that I have anything against Keibs… she just CAN’T wrestle.”

I thought about it for a few minutes. “It would be fun if Randy’s valet was that Candice bitch too. I REALLY don’t like her.” Dave laughed, “And why is that?” I rolled my eyes, “She’s really damn annoying. THAT and if I were to go one on one with her I could beat her like that.” And I snapped my fingers.
Paul laughed, “That could work too. I’ll talk to Vince and the writers and see what they planned on doing.” I smiled, “You do that Paul. Let me know what’s up. I wanna know who’s ass I’ll have to kick in the future.” I smiled, “It’s gonna be so fun though. I don’t wanna be one of those diva’s that never does anything. I wanna get involved in matches and make the fans remember me, for good reasons of course.” I smirked, “I don’t wanna be remembered as a slut or a whore like Trish’ll be years from now. I can still remember when Jericho called her a ‘Filthy, Dirty, Disgusting, Brutal, Bottom-feeding, Trash bag, Hoe.’ That was GREAT tv.”
