Chapter 8 - Lady Cat

Taker quickly turned his head. "Shut your fuckin' face!" he growled at Kane.

Kane kept on laughing. "Gee, what do we call you now? Twinkle Toes Taker or Taker, King of the Fairies?"

"Gee, I can see it now," Show grinned. "Taker, dancing across the stage, wearing a pink frilly dress, a blond wig with flowers in it, and lipstick."

The others snickered as Rock stood on his toes and twirled, his arms waving up and down, his lips puckered. Taker looked over in the corner at Cat. This made the third time he had been embarrassed. "From the look on your face, she must be getting under your skin," Nash jokingly said. Taker made a fist as if he was going to hit Nash. "Hey, lighten up," Kane said. "Can't we even joke?" Taker leaned against the barre. "Damn that woman!" he mumbled.

Cat and B were talking over about the dances that Cat had suggested. "I was thinking, B. Why don't we do just one of the dances instead - the Waltz of the Flowers. It would be simpler."

"I agree. I've got a tape in my office that has that on it. Set up the VCR. I'll be back in a bit."

B left the room. Cat had the men sit on the floor while she set up the VCR. Every movement she made Taker watched, his mind turning as he thought of a way to get even. Kane knew all too well the look on his friend's face. "Okay. What are you up to? I know that look too well. You're up to something." Taker only smiled.

B entered and handed the tape to Cat. "We're going to show you a clip from the ballet "Nutcracker Suite" of one of the dances called Waltz of the flowers. She and I have decided that is the easiest to learn." She fast forwarded the tape then sat by B on the floor. The men quieted down and watched. When the dance was through, she turned off the video. "You expect us to do that in seven weeks?" Nash asked.

"It will be a modified version with only a few dance steps to learn. We'll begin tomorrow morning after exercises and after the classes have split up. B and I have talked with the other instructors about each dance group doing a small performance for the others at the end of your contract time. After that there will be a small party for everyone. Your performance will be last."

Rikishi raised his hand. "Will we be wearing wigs and make-up?"

Cat nodded. "Yes, and each of you will be wearing a different colored dress."

"Do we get to choose which color?" Angle asked.

"No. Okay, if there are not more questions, let's get back to the exercises."

Later that night after lights out, Taker sat on the side of the bed. The door opened, Cat's head peering inside. Seeing that everything was fine, she closed the door. Taker got up to leave the room. "Where do you think you're going?" Bradshaw leaned on his arm.

"I'm going to have it out with Genghis Khan. If she thinks she's going to have me wearing on that fuckin' crap, she has another thing coming!"

"Right. Remember, we're all in this together. You get us in trouble, we'll all make it hell on you," Bradshaw warned.

In the practice room, Cat put in a CD. Taker was almost to the stage when he heard music. He looked through the glass door and saw her dancing. He was going to enter but watched instead, fascinated at her graceful movements. Soon he forgot what he had come there to do. When she was through he went back to the room. When he entered, all the guys were waiting on him.

"Well, did you tell her to fuck off?" Kane asked. Taker undressed and got in bed. "Hey, I asked you...."

"No!" He turned his back to them.

"Wonder why he didn't tell her off?" Rock looked at Kane.

Chapter 9 – Lady B

While Cat was upstairs going through her paces, B sat downstairs in the dining room eating a cup of yogurt and jotting down notes as to what the itinerary for the next day would be. She was hoping that Cat would finish her workout soon as she too was feeling tense and needed to work out some of her energy

. B was in her workout clothes as she sat in the dining room. She was wearing her ballet slippers and had her toe shoes on the desk next to her. She finished eating the yogurt, got up and put the container in the trash.

She walked upstairs to the large rehearsal room. She peeked in and noticed that Cat was nowhere to be found, so she went in and put on some slow mellow music. She started stretching, sitting with her legs to the sides of her as she stretched herself forward on the floor. She got up and went over and stood between the barre and the wall. She stretched her leg up on the wall as she pushed herself off of the barre. Her leg was vertical to her body. She repeated the exercise with the other leg. “Damn, that feels good” she said to herself as she went into a full sideways split on the floor. From that position she placed her hands on the floor and came up into a handstand, then slowly let her body bend backward until her feet were on the floor. She pushed up with her hands and stood up.

She put on her toe shoes and went over to the radio. She put on some classical music and started to dance to it. She stood on point and did perfect pirouettes across the floor. She went through the whole dance routine and when she was finished she let herself sink to the floor.

Unbeknownst to her someone had slipped out of bed and attempted to go down to the kitchen to see if he could find something to eat. Like his partner in crime before him, he had stopped room when he heard the soft music. He stood in awe as he peered into the small glass window on the door. He watched her stretch and then go into a full 5 minute dance routine. He watched as he saw her slid down to the floor, breathing easily. She sat there with her knees bent. She had placed her arms around her knees and was resting her chin on her knees.

She looked so fragile sitting there that at that moment all he wanted to do was go in and put his arms around her and hold her. He had an irresistible urge to go up to her, pull her up into a standing position and kiss her until she was breathless.

‘Shit you better go back to bed before you get everyone in trouble’ he said to himself as he started walking back to his room with all thoughts of food gone from his mind. All he could think about was what it would feel like to embrace her and kiss her full lips. He tip toed back into the room and lay down on his bed without waking anyone up. He lay there with his eyes open because sleep wouldn’t come. Every time he closed his eyes all he could see was her.

B got up and went to her room to take a shower. She had the strangest feeling that she was being watched as she exercised. She knew that all the guests were in their rooms for the night so she chucked it to tension. She went to bed shortly after that.

*****************************

“Rise and Shine” B said as she knocked on the doors to wake up the guests.

“Damn, it’s too early” D’von said as he turned over. Bubba got up and went over to him and shook him. “Come on, get up. We’re in enough shit already. I don’t want to be in deeper cause someone is late” he said as he yanked the covers off of D’von, causing him to fall to the floor.

D’von jumped up and rushed Bubba, practically spearing him on the bed. “Shit. Here we go again” Taker said as he and Kane went over and each grabbed one of the combatants by the neck and walked them into the shower room. Rock opened the cold water and Kane and Taker pushed D’von and Bubba under the ice cold sprays. “Stay there until you cool off” Taker said. “I’ve taken about all the shit I’m gonna take” he growled as he stepped out into the hallway and proceeded down the dining room for breakfast with the rest of the wrestling contingent behind him.

After breakfast they were separated into 4 different groups. The big men, Taker, Kane, HHH, Rikishi, Big Show, Rock, Bradshaw, Kurt, Nash, Test and Faarooq comprised one group. The small wrestlers like Crash, Rey Mysterio and the girls were in another group. The cruiser weights comprised another group and Y2J, Edge, Christian and a few others were in another group.

All four groups went to their respective workout rooms to start working on the program they would perform at the end of the month.

Cat and B had the big men, as they were the ones that Vince was really worried about. After putting them through the morning’s workout, they broke for lunch.

While everyone ate in the dining room, Cat and B were conferring with the seamstresses as to the costumes they wanted and what colors they would wear. They finally decided that as the biggest one, Big Show would wear yellow. “Yeah, he’ll look like Big Bird” Cat said as they all burst out laughing. They looked over the rest of the outfits and agreed on the colors. “Wait until we tell them later” B said still laughing. “Yeah, but don’t let on about the wigs” Cat said as she bent over laughing. “I can’t wait to see the dress rehearsal to this program” B said with tears in her eyes. “Oh is Vince going to enjoy that tape” B added. “The best part is that the wrestlers don’t know that they are being taped in the costumes, makeup and wigs” Cat said as they both burst out laughing again.
