Chapter 9
The next night was SMACKDOWN
and the girls arrive early in order to not arrive at the same time as the
guys. On their locker room door was taped a note. "This
had better not be from the guys." Tasha muttered as she grabbed the
note off the door. 'I need to speak with all three of you as soon as
possible.
Stephanie M.'
Tasha read outloud. Each girl felt a small twinge of disappointment that
the note wasn't from Jeff, Edge or Matt.
The girls threw their bags in their locker room before
heading off in the direction of Stephanie's locker room/office. Once
they reached the door of her locker room, they knocked loudly. Stephanie
opened the door and looked suprised to see them. "Wow, You're
here early tonight. Come on in. Have a seat." Stephanie
invited.
Jami, Tasha and Lita took a seat on a couch in the
extremely plush locker room. Stephanie sat in a plush chair across from
them. "What's up Steph? Is there something wrong?" Tasha
asked.
Stephanie looked uncertain for a moment. "Well,
I wanted to warn you about something my father is planning on doing
tonight." Stephanie told them. "What now?" Jami
muttered.
Stephanie stood up and smoothed her skirt. "Well,
I thought I'd just show you. It's a music montage video he's planning on
showing like he did with the disire videos. He was going to have a
camera watching both you three and Jeff, Matt and Edge so that when you saw it
on the screen during the show, he could show all of your initial reactions.
The video is a chronical of the life of an Edgier Team Extreme...more
importantly, your relationships with the guys."
With that said, Stephanie put a video tape in the VCR and
turned the TV monitor on. "My dad doesn't know I'm showing you
this, but I couldn't let him do that to three of my close friends. Shane
is showing this to Jeff, Edge and Matt when they get here." Stephanie
shared before hitting the play button.
Soon the videotape began to play. Madonna's 'Take A
Bow' began to play.
(for this I'm going to give the song lyrics, and then
tell you what is playing during them right under neath the lyrics, okay?)
*Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older.*
The video showed clips of Lita and Matt kissing on the
screen for the first time. Quickly following that was a picture of Matt
shoving Lita out of the Hardyz locker room when they broke up on air.
*Lights are low, the curtains down.
There's no one here
(There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd)*

This showed a clip of when Matt had kissed Holli
backstage and Jami, Lita, and Tasha had seen it. The clip showed them
standing in shock in the ring.

(Just make 'em smile, the whole world loves a clown)*
The screen flew to backstage shots of the six getting
ready. Things like having their hair down and makeup applied.
Things the fans didn't usually get to witness first hand.
*Wish you well, I cannot stay.
You deserve an award for the role that you played (role
that you played)*
The screen showed clips of each woman's first debut as
part of the Edgier Team Extreme. It was when the Hardyz first came to
