He turned away from the entrance and walked into the hallway.He smirked at the thought of telling Shane and Stephanie about this little development,it would make things alot easier for the Alliance.He walked to the WCW/ECW lockerroom and opened the door.

Shane,Stephanie and Stone Cold were talking about their plans and schemes when he came in and they turned to him as he walked to them.

"Where have you been?.We’ve been waiting for you" Stephanie cried.

"Time is money,Paul and we can’t afford to lose any if we’re gonna beat Vince" Shane said.

Paul Heyman smirked his hideous smirk and said:

"Not to worry,I’ve put the lost time to good use"

"And how is that?" Stone Cold asked.

"I found out a little something about miss Calloway and that something is gonna make it alot easier to issue our challenge and get it accepted"

Stone Cold smiled at this thought but Shane and Stephanie were skeptical.

In the mean time Valerie and Jeff were leaving the cafeteria and were about to go their own ways when Jeff kissed Valerie on the lips very briefly.It was a slight brush of the lips but it was enough to set her on fire.She savored the feeling and looked into Jeff’s eyes.

"I’ll be seeing you" Jeff said,almost whispering.

"You bet" Valerie said with the same softness.

Jeff walked off and Valerie stood there for a little longer thinking back to the short moment her lips had met with Jeff’s.

"Oh wow" she said out loud without realizing it.

"What’s so wow?" a voice said behind her.

She jumped at the sound and turned around to find herself staring at a very broad chest.She looked up and looked into Kane’s eyes.Kane looked down the hall and saw the back of a retreating Jeff Hardy.Valerie jumped into Kane’s arms and smiled:

"Uncle Kane"

Kane smiled as he set Valerie down.

"Wanna answer my question there,munchkin?"

"Hey I’m no munchkin,I’m six foot"

"First of all,you are a munchkin compared to me and second you are avoiding my question"

"What question?" Valerie said smiling.

Kane laughed and ruffled Valerie’s hair.

"Don’t worry little lady,you got nothing to fear from me where Jeff Hardy’s concerned,it’s your father you need to worry about.So what was so wow?"

"Nothing"

Kane looked down at Valerie and saw her dreamy smile.

"Sure"

Valerie gave her uncle an innocent look and said:

"Honest"

Kane tilted his head and Valerie blushed.She looked at her feet.

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course"

"Jeff kissed me"

"Yeah?"

"It was only a slight peck but still"

"You really like him don’t you?"

"Yeah" Valerie blushed.

"I’m sure Jeff Hardy’s a good man"

Then a voice came from behind Valerie that said:

"Kane,what did I tell you about corrupting my daughter’s mind?"

Valerie turned around and looked at her father as he came walking to them.

"Don’t give her ideas when it comes to Jeff Hardy"

"Dad…"

"I said I would think about it and I meant it,now I don’t wanna hear another word about him"

Valerie nodded,it was all she could ask for.Kane didn’t say anything.

Evening came and it was time for Raw.Taker and Kane had a tag team title match against the WCW tag team champs the Dudley Boyz and it was announced that the Hardy Boyz would be receiving a title shot against whichever team would be champions the following Smackdown.The Hardy’s were ecstatic about it,they had been waiting for a title shot for along time.

Valerie watched the match in the cafeteria along with most of the wrestlers,including the Hardy’s.Or atleast she was pretending to watch it,she kept glancing at Jeff,who was glancing at her.They both smiled when they caught eachother and they turned back to the tv screen.The match was long and hard-fought.All four men were exhausted after almost 30 minutes of wrestling and the match ended when the Dudleys put Taker through a table.Valerie jumped up in the cafeteria when she saw it happen and cried out:

"Holy Shit"

She ran out of the cafeteria as fast as she could,she was so worried about her father she didn’t bother to think of what might happen if the Dudley’s were still there.She was about to burst through the curtain when she felt a strong pair of arms stop her.
