Chapter 1

Well the big day is here. It's been two months since I last put pen to paper. Yesterday the guys took Duane out and got him totally drunk, while the girls brought in a male stripper to the house for my bachelorette party. We had a ball but didn't get to bed until the wee hours of the morning. My head is pounding and I hope I make it through the day. "Here sis" Willie says to me as she hands me two Advils and the Visine. "Thanks" I reply as I take the pain killers and put the eye drops in before starting on my makeup.

Today is the day that I get married. All my house sisters are here as is my sister Willie. As before, the house is a beehive of activity with all the girls getting ready.

The limos are due to be here in 15 minutes to take us to the church and I can't really wait to get this over with. The stress of all the preparations and making sure that everything goes off without a hitch has really made me a nervous wreck. Vince has agreed to give me away and all the guys involved in the wedding have two days off from work. The storyline has already been done where Duane is suspended indefinitely. This will give us time to honeymoon and for him to shoot his movie.

There's a knock at the door. It must be the limo drivers. "Okay, everyone, heads up. Let's go" Tracy says as she starts ushering everyone out of the bedrooms and down the stairs. My sister comes into my room one last time. "Well are you ready for this" she asks as she comes and puts her arms around me. "Blood, I'm ready" I say. We hug and she grabs the train of my dress as we too head down the stairs.

We both get into the white limo as the other sisters get into the other black limos which are parked along the block.

I don't remember the drive over to the church. All I remember is getting out of the limo and being in front of the church. Everyone enters as once again Willie grabs the train of my dress and we both walk up the church steps.

Everyone lines up and next thing I know the music has started. The guys are there to escort them to the front. First up is Cenny and Bradshaw (I found out later that they had secretly gotten married and she had come back to the house to pack her stuff because she was moving out to her new home in Texas. Then was Lori and Buff, Nikole and Billy, Tracy and Steve (who we all affectionally called Blackie), Jade and Test (They looked so cute together as he is a head taller than her and every time he picked her up she would wrap her legs around his waist), Chawnie and Dogg (who had become inseparable and she now traveled with him), Anne and Matt, Missy and Jeff, Sandra and Christian, Y2J and Kaleigh, Dville and Raven (she had finally come to her senses and decided that she and Raven would be married several months after my wedding), Shawn and Kari (who had gotten married the month before and she was now in the process of getting all her things in order to move out to Texas also and help him run his federation and make a comeback in WWF), Kane and Sharon (you would not believe how good Sharon looks since she started her exercise routine. It appears that she too will be moving to Tennessee with Kane). Next up were Edge who agreed to escort Lady Cat during the wedding as Taker would be standing in the front with Duane. Then was Paul and a very pregnant Bonnie (she was due to give birth in a few weeks but refused to miss my wedding. Bless her heart). Last was Willie and then me and Vince.

As everyone lined up ready to walk towards the front Duane kept his eyes riveted to the door. Taker put his hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay, man?" he asked. "Yeah, I'm fine" Duane said as he took a deep, steadying breath. "You do have the rings, right?" Duane asked looking at Taker with worry in his eyes. "Yeah, I've got them. Calm down" he said as he patted him on the shoulder as the music started for the processional.

Everyone made it to the front without a mishap. Vince walked slowly with me to the front and I could see Duane's eyes sparkling as he looked at me. When the priest said who gives this woman away, Vince said "I do" and placed my hand in Duane's then went and sat in the front row with Linda, Shane and Stephanie.

The rest of the ceremony is a blur until the rings were placed and the "I do's said. I remember Duane pulling the veil up from my face and kissing me passionately as the priest pronounced us man and wife.

We were the last ones to exit the church and we were pelted with rice as we headed towards the limo. We were going to have a very short reception as our flight to California would be leaving in the early evening. Willie would be heading back to New York that evening and I made sure that Edge would see her off and make sure that nothing happened to her.

Chapter 2

The reception went off without a hitch. There was much toasting and well wishes. around 6:00 p.m. my husband came over to me and said that it was time to throw the bouquet as we had to be at the airport by 7:00 p.m. I went and changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt (as the flight would be a long one) and when I returned I saw Duane had changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt also.

There was a scramble for the bouquet (but Dville came up with it, which sent Raven into a tizzy chanting "What about me? What about Raven?" throughout the reception hall). We said our goodbyes to everyone and headed to the limo.

Duane pulled me close to him as we sped away towards the airport. "Well, how does it feel to be Mrs. Duane Johnson?" he asked as he kissed me. "Ask me in a few years and I'll tell you" I replied as I kissed him back.

We made it to the airport 15 minutes before our flight started to board. Some fans of his recognize Duane and come over to him and asked for his autograph. They asked for mine also as they have seen us together in the papers and had noticed the wedding rings on our fingers. They congratulated us once we handed them the autographs and we graciously make a fast retreat towards the boarding area.

We finally got on the plane and are shown to first class (Vince's wedding gift). We settled in with me by the window and him stretching his long legs out to the aisle. For some reason the flight attendants knew that we were newly weds (I think Vince and Linda had something to do with this and they treated us very nice, but also gave us as much privacy as possible).

Duane pulled me towards him and kissed me. "I don't believe it has finally happened" he says to me as he holds me close. "Believe it buster, cause you're stuck with me" I say as I run my fingers along his cheek.

The flight to California from Florida was long and at one point we both fell asleep. We woke up for dinner and talked for awhile before the flight attendant came around and told us to prepare for landing.

Chapter 3

We deplaned and once again there was a limo waiting to take us to the hotel (Shane and Stephanie's wedding gift). We were checked in rather quickly and we made it to the honeymoon suite without having to stop to sign autographs. The porter brought our luggage upstairs and Duane tipped him before he left.

As before this room also had a jacuzzi in the bedroom which I promptly starting filling so that we could both relax. Duane on the other hand opened the complementary bottle of champagne and poured us some. He handed me a glass as he put his arm around my waist and said "There is no turning back now. This is a life long commitment for me. This is my second time around and I don't plan on going through this again". "It's a lifelong commitment for me too, as I never plan on going through what I just went through the last 2 months" I replied. We clinked glasses and sipped on the champagne.

I turned off the water to the Jacuzzi and turned to Duane. He came up to me and we very slowly undressed each other. We got into the Jacuzzi, where I sat in front of him and I laid back into his arms. He handed me my champagne and we drank some more. He refilled the glasses and reached over and grabbed the strawberries and whip cream. He dipped one into the whipped cream and brought it in front of my face. I turned my head and took a bite of it. He then ate the rest of it. I turned in his arms and straddled his hips. I brought my lips to his and kissed him then I dipped a strawberry into the whipped cream and offered it to him. We sat there eating strawberries and sipping on champagne for a while until he lifted me up and slide me down on him.

I sighed as I felt him filling me up. He held me down on him by holding my hips and wouldn't let me move as he kissed me passionately. I put my arms around his neck and just rocked slowly back and forth as I felt him throbbing inside of me. He very slowly started to lift me up and down on him. We continued like that until neither one of us could take it any longer. He increased both of our speeds until we had visited the stars.

From the Jacuzzi we moved to the bed and our lovemaking lasted until the sun came up and we finally fell asleep.

We woke up when the phone rang. He had left a wake up call at the front desk. We showered and dressed so that we could go get something to eat before he had to be at Universal studios. We had a late lunch and he drove us out to the studio for the meeting with the director and to finalize the shooting schedule.

When we arrived at the studio, we were waved through the gate and once we were parked an assistant to the director came out to the car and escorted us up to the director's office. We were ushered into the director's office where Duane went up to him and they shook hands. "Duane, It's good to see you again". "It's great to be here. I'm glad you guys are giving me the chance to do this movie" Duane replied. He turned to me and said. "Stephen, this is my wife Betty. Betty, this is Stephen. He's the director and writer of the movie that I"m gonna do". Stephen shook my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you" I said. "The pleasure is all mine" Stephen replied. "Duane she is totally charming, but when did you guys get married? The last time we spoke you were still single" Stephen said. "Yesterday" Duane replied as he came and put his arm around me. "Well. Congratulations" Stephen said as he shook hands once again with Duane and came up to me and gave me a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, since you kids are on your honeymoon I don't want to keep you here all afternoon. Duane your attorney has checked over the contract and all is in order, so just sign on the dotted line and lets get down to setting the shooting schedule" Stephen said.

Duane had spoken to his attorney and it was for a two movie deal. One of the films would be called the Mummy Returns and the other one would be the Scorpion King (In which Duane would have the leading role and would be a prequel to both movies). Duane penned his name to the contract and was given a copy.

"Now, on to the good stuff. This movie will be shot here in California, In Egypt and Morocco. There will be tons of traveling and makeup sessions will start at 2:00 a.m." Stephen said. "I know this will take time away from your honeymoon and I hope Betty likes to travel because you guys will be on the road a lot. I will do my best to make sure that you have a few days in each place to yourselves before you have to take off to the next one. Now here is a synopsis of the movie, which has been released to the press. Look it over and I will have the script delivered to you tomorrow. Now off with you. Go and enjoy yourselves tonight because you fly out tomorrow for Morocco" he added. We shook hands with him again and left his office.

We went back to the hotel where Duane ordered a movie from the pay per views offered and we relaxed on the sofa. He had laid the story on the coffee table. We laid down on the sofa and as he looked at the movie I picked it up and started to read it.

The Mummy Returns (2001) (Universal Studios)

Deep within a shadowy chamber in the British Museum of London, an ancient force of terror is about to be reborn.

It is 1933, the Year of the Scorpion. Eight years have passed since dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and fearless Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) fought for their lives against a 3000-year-old enemy named Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo).

Rick and Evelyn are married now and have settled in London where they are raising their son Alex (Freddie Boath). When a chain of events finds the corpse of Imhotep resurrected in the British Museum, the mummy Imhotep walks the earth once more, determined to fulfill his quest for immortality. But another force has also been set loose in the world ... one born of the darkest rituals of ancient Egyptian mysticism, and even more powerful than Imhotep. When these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the balance, sending the O'Connells on a desperate race to save the world from unspeakable evil and rescue their son before it is too late.

Their quest will take them back to Egypt, into the realm of The Scorpion King (The Rock). This fierce warrior promised his soul to the god Anubis in exchange for military might long ago. He and his army have been frozen in time, suspended between life and death and ready to kill again, through five millenia. The Scorpion King possesses powers, secrets and trengths beyond even the dreaded Imhotep. He is angry, deadly and should not be disturbed.

The Mummy Returns unfurls its spine-tingling adventures against breath-taking landscapes. Hordes of canine-bodied Anubis warriors - literally from hell - bound across the Sahara in attack formation while carnivorous pygmy mummies ambush their prey in the jungles of the Nile. At the fabled desert oasis of Ahm Shere, a mythical pyramid of gold mesmerizes all who behold it, but according to the shadowy desert sage Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), no one who has ever laid eyes upon it has returned to tell the tale. Unfortunately, reaching that pyramid is the only way Rick can save his family. But it's not as if London is any safer - the city's streets become a living nightmare when a squadron of skeletal attackers lays seige to a red double-decker bus -with Evelyn's brother Jonathan (John Hannah) behind the wheel.

The villains are bigger, too. In addition to the powerful Imhotep, the evil Meela and her ancient counterpart, Anck-Su-Namun, and the legions of otherworldly beings who blindly serve the master mummy, The Mummy Returns introduces World Wrestling Federation superstar The Rock in his first major screen role.

The Rock plays the terrifying Scorpion King, whose story is told in a prologue set in 3067 BC. Back then, he was a proud desert warrior who made a pact with the god Anubis in the face of death - his soul in exchange for victory. The implications of that agreement are still reverberating in 1933 when The Mummy Returns begins in a bug and snake-infested tomb.

"What does it say?" Duane asked. "You'll have to read it for yourself. It's interesting though" I said as I put it down and curled into his arms as I dozed off.

Chapter 5

When the movie he had been watching was over he picked up the description of the Mummy Returns movie and read it. ‘Hmmm . . . they never use my real name in the credits only my WWF name" he thinks to himself.

"Sweetheart" he whispers to me. I open my eyes slightly and respond "Hmm" as I bury my head into his chest. "Let's go to bed. It's more comfortable there" he says as he disengages himself from me and gets up. Seeing as I'm not making any effort to get up he picks me up in his arms and carries me to the bed, all the while kissing me. I responded to his kisses and once on the bed there was no more sleeping for either of us for the next several hours.

We were up at 7:00 a.m. the next day to go catch the plane that would take us to Morocco. Little did we know it was a chartered plane. We arrived and were quickly boarded. Most of the crew was on the same flight we were on and several of the actors too. Brendan Frazier was the clown of the group and kept everyone on their toes and laughing. Of course Duane would not be outdone and played a few tricks on several of the crew and Brendan got blamed for them. That just inspired Duane to pull off a couple more.

We landed in Morocco and I must admit it is a beautiful place. Lush rolling green hills, beaches that were very nice (even though we only got to visit one during our stay there), and lots of music and story telling from the natives. We headed out to a place called Erfoud (which if you asked me to pronounce it, I can't). I understand that this is where they were before filming the original Mummy movie.

What I do remember the best was sitting in Duane's movie chair and fanning myself due to the heat out in the Sahara Desert, while he ran around in a loin cloth and sported extensions in his hair. I must admit he did look good enough to eat with that long hair, but I'm kinda partial and he would look good to me no matter what he wore (or didn't wear for that matter).

We filmed in the desert for over 5 days and I thought I would melt. Of course the trailers were kept at the edge of the desert and since Duane insisted that I was to be near him for his shootings, I got nice and crispy brown. He claimed I was his good-luck charm. Yeah! Right! He was just scared that I would run away with one of the natives.

But despite it all I have to say that I did enjoy myself in Morocco, except for the constant sand in my hair. Even though the sunsets seen from there over the sand dunes were spectacular.

We were gone for the better part of a month before we returned back to Florida. We met up with the WWF there, but of course Duane didn't have to wrestle as he was still "suspended". It was nice to see the girls again. We were there for the birth of Bonnie and Paul's baby. She had a beautiful baby boy with his father's hair and complexion but looked just like Bonnie (thank god). Of course he was named after his father and became a Jr.

Dville and Raven would be getting married the following month and we promised we would be there for the wedding. Poor Raven still could not believe he was getting married and still mumbled under his breath "What about me? What about Raven?" I told him to stop being the poster child for Society's Children and to get a grip, as he would be marrying a very nice lady soon. I just hope they both don't get like that on their wedding day, cause the wedding will have to be performed by a psychiatrist. We got to visit with the WWF crew for a day before we had to leave again.

Our next stop was England where it was rainy and chilly all the time that we were there. The London fog was horrible. There were times where I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.

While there Duane attempted to play a trick on me and left me standing on the street by myself. He then pretended he was someone else to try to scare me. Little did he know that I don't scare that easily and he wound up with a slight shiner for a few days. I told hm that's what he gets for playing tricks on me.

We returned after three weeks back to Florida and once again we visited with our WWF family. Duane was still "suspended" so we had a week to ourselves before heading out again to California for the final touches on the movie.

During this time we would get to attend the "What about me?" wedding as we dubbed it.
