Disclaimer : Just in case anyone feels like sueing,don’t.The only character I own is Valerie.

A/N : On with the story,Valerie meets up with an old "friend".I guess I should change the rating pretty soon if it get’s more violent.Also I’ll be making some leaps in the story,nothing dramatic just a leap from Raw to Smackdown and from Smackdown to Raw.Also the date I set for Raw Monday was suppose to be 01-10-2001 instead of 30-09-2001.Try to overlook it.

Valerie bumped straight into the person before her and fell back,landing on her butt.She could hear someone chuckling above her and when she looked up,she saw a grinning DDP standing over her.She quickly got up and tried to look indifferent.

Page smirked at her and said:

"Well,well,well if it isn’t miss Calloway,being in the wrong place at the wrong time"

Valerie tried to back up but Page grabbed her by the hair and slammed her against the concrete wall.He opressed her with his body and placed his hands around her throat.Page had been smirking earlier but now the smirk was gone.He was obviously pissed off at her.

"I warned you to stay out of it but no…you had to be brave and help your daddy out,well now you’ll pay the price for that bravery little girl"

Valerie managed to choke out:

"You talk too much"

This only served to piss Page off even more and he squeezed harder.

"Bitch"

Valerie was trying to get her legs in front of him so she could kick him but he was standing too close. He laughed as she began to turn blue.She was on the verge of passing out when suddenly all the pressure was released from her throat as Page was pulled back.Valerie’s knees gave way and she collapsed onto the cold floor.She felt someone cradling her head and softly speaking to her but she couldn’t make out the words.She was feeling lightheaded as she vaguely heard her father yelling and she was out.

***

She woke up 2 hours later,in a hospital bed with cold towels around her throat.She looked around the room and saw her father sleeping in a chair next to the bed with his arms on the bed.She smiled and tried to turn her head but her neck objected and she let out a cry.Her father woke up and bolted upright.He gently touched her cheek and said:

"Joyful?"

"Hi dad"

Valerie tried to smile again but this time she couldn’t.She had tears running down her cheeks and her father gently caressed her cheek her to try and calm her down.

"Hey,it’s okay"

"Why do these things happen to me?.I never did anything to deserve that"

Valerie thought for a moment and giggled through her tears.

"Okay I might have done one or two things to deserve it,but still…"

She laughed a little but it hurt too much so she quickly stopped.She suddenly realized something.Someone had helped her and it hadn’t been her dad.

"Dad,who helped me?"

Before Taker could respond someone knocked on the door.

"Come in" Taker yelled.

Lita and the Hardy Boyz came walking into the room and Taker smirked.He turned to Valerie and said

"There’s your answer"

Valerie smiled through her pain.

"Hey you guys"

"Oh Valerie" Lita sobbed as she hugged Valerie.

Valerie broke the hug and said:

"Hey no crying,I’m fine"

"I was so worried about you" Lita said while wiping her tears away.

"Well worry no more,I’m fine"

Valerie looked at Matt and Jeff who were quietly standing there.

"Hey,I hear you’re the ones that helped me"

Matt nodded but Jeff was silent.

"Well,come here and let me hug you guys"

Matt walked to Valerie and hugged her gently.Jeff hugged her as well but he held onto her a little longer.When he let go he was blushing so he quickly turned away from Valerie.Valerie had seen it however and she thought it was cute.

Team Extreme stayed with Valerie for a little while after until Taker had had enough of them and kicked them out.He went back to his daughter and told her to get some rest.Valerie looked at her father and saw in his eyes that argueing was not an option so she rested.

Taker looked at his daughter as she lay there with her eyes closed and saw her wince in pain every now and then.He thought:"I’ll get you for this Page,I swear I’ll get you for this".

More of her friends visited when she was asleep including the Rock,Chris Jericho and Edge.

Valerie was released from hospital early in the morning of the next day (Tuesday : 02-10-2001). She had lunch with the Rock that afternoon and they had a ball,Valerie noticed that the Rock’s presence had almost the same effect as her father’s,no one dared to go near her and no one looked at her for too long.Valerie chuckled when she pictured the Rock laying the smack down on every man in the eathouse.The Rock returned her to the Undertaker after lunch and she spent the rest of the day annoying the hell out of her father by getting him to do things for her because her neck still hurt so much.

Smackdown Thursday : 03-10-2001.

Valerie and Taker were back in the federation.Taker wasn’t happy with his daughter being there but he figured she’d be safer there with him than home alone.They walked into the building and they encountered the Hardy Boyz.Jeff’s face lit up the second he saw her and he smiled at her.Valerie smiled back and said:

"Hey guys"

"Hey Valerie" Matt said.

Jeff stood next to Valerie.

"Hey" he said with a slight blush.

Matt laughed but Taker looked serious.The look in his eyes that was as old as mankind itself and it said: "Back off or get hurt".Jeff didn’t seem to notice or at least pretended not to notice as he turned to Valerie and said:

"Hey uh…me and Matt wanted to ask you…we uh…"

"Are you gonna tell her what it is you want or are you gonna stand there blubbering all day?"

"DAD"

Taker gave Valerie a far from innocent look but turned away slightly.

"Yes?" Valerie asked gently while looking at Jeff.

"Well…we got a match later on tonight and we were wondering if you’d wanna valet for us"

Jeff had said it as fast as he could without stumbling over his words and he was now waiting for her answer but she never got the chance to say anything because Taker’s venomous words beat her to it.

"Boy,are you out of your mind?.My daughter is NOT coming out there with you.Not now,not ever"

"Dad,I think…"

"Joyful,it aint happening,they can’t protect you and I’m not risking it"

"It’s not a risk" Matt said defensively.

"We can protect her" Jeff said with a scowl.

"I’d…" Valerie started.

"Who are you two facing?" Taker demanded.

"…"

"Come on boy,a second ago you couldn’t stop blabbering,tell me who you’re facing"

"Austin and Booker-T"

"WHAT?.You want my daughter to go out there…"

"Dad,please you’re yelling"

The argument went on for a good 5 minutes until the Undertaker gave up.His daughter had always been good at convincing him and this was no exception.She was allowed to come but not until after the Hardy’s swore on their very lifes that she wouldn’t get hurt.
