Chapter 10 - Lady Cat

Cat and B came back in the dining room, still laughing. B had the other instructors come over for a short meeting to discuss what the other groups would be doing. The divas would be doing "One" from the play "Chorus Line." The smaller wrestlers would be tap dancing while the other gruop (Dvon, Bubba, Edge, Jericho, etc.) would be doing Latin dances. One of the instructors giggled when she said a couple of the guys would be dressed as female flamenco dancers. B asked who. The instructor said everyone voted unanimously for Edge and Jericho, which had them all laughing. Cat and B were asked what their group would be doing. Cat smiled and replied it was a surprise, adding it would steal the show.

The wrestlers at the table saw the laughter. "Now who are they talking about?" Show asked as he crunched a lettuce leaf.

"They're probably talking about Edge and Jericho," Dvon grinned.

"SHUT UP!" Jericho spat.

Dvon kept on grinning. "Our group is doing Latin dances and everyone voted them to be the female dancers." A chorus of low snickers erupted as Edge and Jericho tried to hide the red which was creeping in their faces by turning to the window. "What are you guys doing?" Bubba asked.

"We're doing..................." Kurt didn't get to finish as Big Show quickly put a hand over his mouth. "We ain't sayin'," Nash replied.

"Okay, eveyrone, time to go back to your groups," B said, clapping her hands.

The bigger wrestlers were taken downstairs to a special dance room. B had them sit. "The reason Cat and I brought you down here was this room is special made. It is accoustically sound proof. Even if one were to be outside the door, they still could not hear. And, it is solid underneath sot here is less chance of a couple of you perhaps falling through the floor." Rikishi and Big show lowered their heads as the others laughed.

"In the corner are boxes with your custom-made ballet shoes. You have two pair. One pair will be for rehearsal and the other you will wear for your performance. They are your responsibility so DO NOT LOSE THEM!" B added with emphasis.

"B and I have choreographed a simple dance which anyone can do. Rehearsals start as of now and will be every afternoon for the next few weeks. Put on your ballet shoes and we'll begin."

The guys looked their shoes over, then put them on. "Hey, what's this hard thing?" Kane asked.

"That is the toe. When you do your pirouettes, the to helps you balance and gives the audience the impression you are actually twirling on your toes. Watch." Cat demonstrated. "Okay, we'll begin with your entrance." Cat went to the far wall and did a pirouette on the toe till she reached the center of the room, striking a pose - one leg behind the other, her arms arched above her head. She had the guys split: Show, Taker, Bradshaw, HHH and Kurt on one side of the room; Kane, Nash, Farooq, Rock and Rikishi on the other. She pointed to Taker and Kane to begin. The two stood on toe, Taker needing a little help from Cat, and did somewhat of a halfway imitation. Kane bumped into Taker when they reached the center, Taker pushing Kane off, making Kane wince as the hard piece hurt his toes. Nash and Bradshaw. They didn't do too bad except Bradshaw did wobble a bit till he got his pose. Farooq and Trips were next. When they reached the center, Trips accidently brought the hard toe down on Farooq. "HEY! WATCH IT! THAT'S MY DAMN CORN YOU'RE STEPPING ON!" and shoved HHH just a bit. Kurt and Rock had been laughing at what was happening to the others. When it was their turn, they tossed their heads back and pirouetted to the center. When they reached their spot, Rock accidently poked Kurt in the eye. Last were Rikishi and Big Show, who were dubious about standing on the toe end, and so decided just to twirl instead. As they twirled toward each other, they both gained a little more momentum than normal and crashed into the others, creating a domino affect. Big Show was on top and Kurt was at the bottom of the pile. "WILL YOU SOB'S GET OFF OF ME! he yelled. "Hey, what is that smell?" Farooq sniffed. "Smells like rotten eggs." "Would someone kindly remove their elbow off my BALLS!" Rock grimaced. "Oh, is that what that is?" Nash asked. The groups slowly untangled themselves and got up, with Kane being last as he was on top of Kurt.

Cat and B could no longer contain themselves and started laughing out loud in the corner. The guys straightened themselves and watched their insturctors rolling on the floor. Taker went over, his face red as he looked down at them. "I don't happen to think it's funny!" Taker sneered at Cat as she got up, tears in her eyes. "I thought it was hilarious," she said, making B laugh harder. Taker went back to the group, his face redder than before. Cat wiped the tears from her face and tried her best to keep a sober face. "Okay, we'll do it again. But this time, Big Show and Rikishi will come out first."

The group worked osn their entrance for the next two hours, pirouetting over and over. Kurt was getting dizzy by this time, claiming he would have vertigo when he was through. HHH complained his toes hurt everytime he stood on them, Taker kept tripping over Kane's foot, and Bradshaw hit Nash in the nose. At one point, Rikishi and Big Show belly-bumped each other and fell to the floor. Rock had a bit of a hard time as he was still sore from Nash's elbow, and poor Farooq's corn was once again stepped on by Nash.

"Man, my arms are sore!" Kane groaned. "When do we break?"

"Okay, we take a ten minute break," B said.

Chapter 11 - Lady B

The guys sat down for a few minutes. Trips took off his left shoe and massaged his foot. Rikishi was laid out on the floor looking like Jaba the Hut. Big show leaned against the wall with his legs splayed out looking as if someone had punched him. The rest faired no better.

"Lets see how we get them to lift each other" B said. "This should be fun Cat answered behind her hand to B, trying to hide her laughter as they approach the group.

"Okay, everyone. On your feet" B said as the group grudgingly got up. "Now we are going to work on the lifts" B said. "Taker, Rikishi, you guys are first" B said. Taker took one look at Rikishi and then looked at B "If you think I’m going to lift this elephant and get a hernia, both you and Vince are out of your fucking minds" he said as he placed his hands across his chest.

"Who the hell are you calling an elephant" Rikishi said to Taker. "You Michelin Man" Taker replied squaring off.

B had to turn around to hide the smile on her face. She took a couple of deep breaths and then turned around. "Shit. I can’t even pick him up" Show said from the back of the room. "Okay, bad choice" B said still trying not to laugh. "Farooq take Taker’s place" B said. Farooq looked at B as if she had just sprouted another head. "Lady, if Taker can’t lift him, how the hell am I gonna do it?" he said. "You aren’t picking him up. He is going to pick you up. I’ll show you how it’s done" B said. “Rikishi, when I tell you, you will lift me up by grabbing me by the waist and just bringing me up in front of you. Okay?" "Yeah, I can do that" Rikishi said as he planted his feet on the ground. B did 2 pirouettes and as she approached Rikishi on the second one, she said "Now". Rikishi lifted her up without a problem and placed her down gently. "Okay. Farooq, now you try it" B said.

Farooq stepped to where B had commenced her pirouettes. Try as he might he could not go on point to do the pirouettes. He wound up doing them flat footed and looked like a duck waddling. As he approached Rikishi, Rikishi attempted to lift him as he had done to B. Since Farooq was not in the proper position, he wound up slipping out of Rikishi’s hands and falling on top of Rikishi. When Farooq impacted with Rikishi’s stomach, Rikishi let out a fart that sounded like an explosion. "Daaaammmmmnnnn" The guys said in unison as they ran to the door and stuck their heads out. "Fucker, get off of my stomach" Rikishi said angrily as he pushed Farooq off of him and rolled over as he stood up. Farooq also got up as he rubbed his neck. "I almost broke my neck" Farooq said as he stood there facing Rikishi. The guys ran over and got between them as Kane said "Hey guys, remember why we are here". Bradshaw took Farooq over to a corner of the room and Rikishi was taken to another corner.

B and Cat just stood there until they calmed down. "Now Ladies. If you are ready, let’s try this again" B said. All the guys turned around and stared at B. "Hey Lady, who are you calling ladies?" Rock said as he approached B. B just stood there and pointed at the pink tutu that he was wearing. "Need I say anything more" B said stopping Rock in his tracks. "Now since you apparently have volunteered" she said looking at Rock "Show why don’t you come over here too" she added. Rock just grumbled under his breath and waddled over to where B had stood to start her pirouettes.

Rock did two pirouettes on semi pointe, as he kept on losing his balance every time he tried to go on point, and was finally able to reach Show. Show picked him up, but miscalculated on how high he had to lift him and let him go, throwing him up into the air. Rock flew through the air at least 10 feet, then hit the floor and skidded with his legs up in the air all the way to the wall where he straddled the post that held up the barre. As his privates hit the pole, the air gushed out of his lungs and he curled up into the fetal position with his hands cupping his crotch. He did not make a sound nor did he move.

Everyone ran (some waddled) over to where Rock lay. Cat and B pushed their way through the crowd until they got to him. B crouched down and Rocks eyes were rolled into the back of his head. All you could see were the whites of his eyes, sort of reminding B of the Taker of old. "Is he dead?" Trips asked. "no, just in pain and shock" B said. "Cat, call the medics" B said.

Two minutes later two EMT’s B had on call arrived and Rock was put on a stretcher and taken to the Infirmary on the premises. The doctor arrived as Rock was being wheeled into the examination room. B had gone with Rock and the EMT’s so that she could explain to the doctor what had happened.

"That’s all for today" Cat said. "Hit the showers before dinner" she added.

The guys headed towards the showers and Show kept on repeating "I didn’t mean to hurt him" over and over again as he shook his head and entered the locker room. Cat went to the Infirmary to meet up with B. ***********************

B explained to the doctor what had happened then stepped out of the room so that the doctor could examine him.

The doctor came out 20 minutes later. He approached B and Cat (who had arrived a few minutes earlier) in the hallway. "How is he?" B asked. "He’ll be okay. Thank God for the cup he was wearing. He got his bell rung pretty good but I don’t foresee any permanent damage being done. I’ve given him a shot for the pain, which will put him to sleep and he is now sporting an ice pack. He is to stay on bed rest for 2 days. Absolutely no walking. After that he should be fine in a day or two". The doctor said as he walked away.

"How am I going to explain to Vince that the Great One is unable to walk for at least 4 days?" B said to Cat. "Very carefully" Cat replied. "Don’t want him to think that we are injuring his most prized wrestlers intentionally" Cat added. B looked at her and walked away to go call Vince and inform him of the latest accident.

MEANWHILE . . .

The guys were in the shower and as they removed their shoes they found that they were getting blisters on their toes. Some even had open blisters. "Shit, these crazy women are going to cut our careers short" Bradshaw said as he looked at his big toe and the quarter sized blister he had on it.

While they were talking some of the smaller wrestlers walked in. "Damn, John, that’s a big sucka" Booker said as he walked by. "Hey what are you guys wearing inside of those shoes to cushion your feet?" Christian asked. "I didn’t put anything on" Show said as he looked at the open blisters on both of his feet. "You guys are really big and dumb" Crash said as he walked over to one of the walls and pointed to a sign that was there. "Can’t any of you dumb fucks read?" he said tapping the poster with his fingers.. "You are supposed to tape your toes and put lambs wool pads on your feet before you put those rock hard toe shoes on" he said with a big satisfied grin on his face. All the big wrestlers turned around and threw their toe shoes at Crash. Crash fell to the floor in a tight ball as the shoes beat down on him.

Chapter 12 - Lady Cat

B dialed the main offices of the WWE and asked to speak to Mr. McMahon. Very carefully, B explained what happened and what the doctor said. Vince was quiet. "You sure he's not badly hurt?"

"No, the doctor says he'll be fine after a few days of bed rest."

"I'm satisfied with that. I see no problem, just keep doing what you're doing."

B hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. "He didn't get upset. he said he was satisfied and we're to continue with what we're doing."

Cat nodded. "Thank goodness. Let's go to the dining room."

The guys sat in the corner and waited for the others to leave. Taker had Kurt stand at the door to watch. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not going to continue this shit while Rock gets to rest his ass and we're busting ours! And I certainly am not doing a dance wearing a dress!"

"We have to our we don't werestle. Remember our contracts." Kane reminded him.

"And I remember someone who the other night got up and was going to have it out with Genghis Khan and then comes back and says he didn't," HHH looked at Taker. "Me thinks someone is afraid of her."

Taker' eyes turned to slits, his hand reared back in a fist. Both men stood up but Bradshaw got in between them. "Cool it you two!" Both men sat back down eyeing one another. "Since Rock is laid up for a few days, I say we do the same thing. We'll pretend we're hurt and can't go to class."

"What's our excuse?" Rikishi asked. "Not all of us can claim sore balls at the same time."

"Each of us come up with our own. For instance, I could slip on the steps and sprain my ankle," Bradshaw said.

"I was going to use that!" Kane yelled.

"We wait a couple of days, then I'll start," Bradshaw said.

"Not if I get the opportunity first," Taker softly grumbled.

The next morning the guys were getting dressed to go to breakfast. Rock sat up in bed, a big grin on his face with his arms behind his head as he watched them. "Oh, it's soooooo nice to be able to stretch out while you guys are bustin' your asses," he laughed. "Some people have all the luck."

"Watch it or your balls ain't the only thing that's going to hurt!" Taker growled.

As they were about to leave, Cat and B came in to check on Rock, B carrying a breakfast tray and putting it on the stand beside Rock's bed. "The rest of you go on to breakfast, " Cat said, shushing them out the door. Rock winked at the guys as they left mumbling to themselves.

----------------

As B and Cat were walking behind the wrestlers, they noticed several of them wincing and hobbling as they walked to the rehearsal studio. After they had settled down B had them take their shoes off. The girls shook thier heads at the sight of broken blisters and scabs. "Why didn't you guys use the tape and cushons provided in the shoe boxes. That's the first rule when putting on ballet shoes. Everyday Cat and I always tape our feet and put custions in the toes."

"Perhaps if you had bothered to inform us...." Taker snarled.

"Why didn't you asked?" Cat interrupted.

Taker picked up his shoe as if to throw it at her. Cat went over. "I dare you," she said, glaring at him. She went back to the middle of the room. "We'll skip rehearsal for this afternoon." The guys smiled to themselves thinking they were going to have a free afternoon, but quickly were disappointed at her next statement. "We'll do our exercises instead. Without shoes."

After the guys showered and dressed they headed to the dining room for supper. All through the meal, Taker shot daggers at Cat's back. No one at the table said a word. When they got to their room, they found bandages and antiseptic, and a smiling Rock. "How'd rehearsal go?"

"We didn't have rehearsal. They saw us walking in pain and made us take our shoes off. All we did were exercises," Rikishi replied.

"Bozo over there picked up his shoe and made like he was going to throw it at Cat," Kane said, pointing at Taker. "She got in his face and dared him, thent urned and walked off."

Rock cocked his brow. "Did you throw it?"

"He chickened out," HHH snickered, then ducked as a shoe flew at him.

"She called your bluff?" Rock started laughing. "The Big Dog finally got muzzled!"

The whole room joined in the laughter. Taker stormed out of the room, slamming the door as hard as he could. It was time to have it out with her once and for all.

Taker searched till he heard music coming from one of the studios. He saw Cat dancing. He watched for a bit, then entered when the music stopped. Cat was wiping herself with a towel. She saw him enter and the look of anger in his face. "Is there a problem?"

"Yeah. You!" he hissed. "Ever since we came here you and Atilla the Hun have done everying to make it miserable. Making us eat shitty food, running us ragged, and now we have to do a ballet," snarled. "I'm not taking any mor of this shit, and I difinitely am not about to dress like a woman!"

Cat went up to him. "I remind you that you are under contract at this academy. B and I were told to whip your asses into shape, and perhaps along the way learn a little culture."

"You've already injured Rock with this so-called culture! Who's next?"

"We did not intentionally set out to injure anyone," Cat replied calmly. "It was an accident that could happen to anyone. B and I have already talked to Mr. McMahon and he told us to continue with what we're doing. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there is. You've picked on me ever since we got here. Just what is there about me you don't like?"

"I have never said anything about not liking you. You do have a shitty attitude and you seem to think you're the 'big" man. Well, here you are just like everyone else, and that's how you'll be treated. Now, excuse me."

Cat walked past him, slamming the door. Taker stood there for a bit, then turned to leave. As he opened thye door, he heard a scream. it sounded like it came from the stairs. As he got to the top step, he saw Cat at the bottom holding her leg, moaning in pain. Her screams had brought everyone running.

B pushed her way through and knelt beside her. "Call an ambulance!" she ordered. One of the wrestlers ran off to call. "Cat, what happned?"

"I was on my way back to my room. I just got to the stairs when I felt something push me from behind." Cat winced in pain.

Everyone looked up and saw Taker at the top of the stairs.

Chapter 13 - Lady B

B stood up and said "Taker, I would like to see you in my office. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Kindly wait for me there." The EMT’s arrived, put Cat on the stretcher and were going to take her to the infirmary. "Cat, I’ll be there as soon as I can" B said. She turned around to the wrestlers "Everyone, please go back to your rooms and stay there until I call for you". The other trainers accompanied the wrestlers to their rooms to make sure they were all accounted for.

"Damn, Taker really did it this time" Show said. "I don’t think he did. He may put on a big act, but he would never hurt a lady" Kane said in Taker’s defense as they entered their room.

B went t her office to find Taker sitting in front of her desk with his feet on the desk. She entered and said "Would you mind removing your feet from my desk?" Taker grudgingly took his feet off of the desk, sat back and crossed his arms over his chest as he stared at her. "What happened?" B asked. "How should I know?" Taker replied. "Weren’t you with her?" B asked. "Yeah, I was with her earlier" Taker replied. "And?" B asked.

Taker unfolded his arms and stood up. He placed his hands on the edge of her desk and leaned in towards her. "Lady, if you think I had anything to do with her accident, you are wrong, I was in the studio after she walked out. I heard the scream, the same as all of you. When I reached the stairwell Genghis Khan was sprawled at the bottom and it wasn’t my doing. If I had done it, she would have been splattered against the wall, not groveling on the floor" he added with fire coming out of his green eyes.

"So you claim you had nothing to do with it" B stated. "What are you deaf? Lady, there are things I would like to do to her, but throwing her down a flight of stairs is not one of them" he said. "If we are finished, I’m going back to my cell to soak my feet, they are killing me" he said as he straightened up and walked to the door. He grabbed the door knob and looked at B. "Honestly, I didn’t do it." With that he limped out.

B stared at the door and then placed a call to Vince. Vince was surprised to hear that something had happened to Cat. He assured B that Taker was incapable of doing something like that. "Everything points to him though" B said after she hung up the phone. Time to dos some investigating B Thought as she walked out of her office towards the infirmary.

As she arrived, the doctor was walking out of Cat’s room with x-rays in his hands. How bad is it Chuck?" B asked the doctor. "Well, she did sprain her ankle badly, but its not broken. From the angle she was found in, she was given some help down the stairs. Not hard enough to injure her, but enough to keep her out of commission for a few weeks. "Who could have done this" B asked out loud. "In my opinion, it wasn’t one of the bigger wrestlers, because most of them don’t know their own strength and if it was one of them, she might have landed head first. No. It had to be someone smaller. Someone who moves fast too" Chuck added. "Since no one was seen leaving the stairwell." "Thanks Chuck" B said. "Can I see her?" "Sure, she’s resting now, but you can go in" he said.

B walked over to the door and opened it. Cat’s leg was elevated on a few pillows and she had on a soft cast to keep her foot immobilized. "Hey sis, how are ya?" B said as she sat on the edge of the bed. "Been better" Cat replied. "Any ideas as to who?" "Not sure, but it wasn’t a big hand. It was smaller and pushed me just enough so that I missed a few steps and landed on the bottom" Cat replied. "Not Taker then?" "Hell no. After the conversation we had, if it had been him, I would have been splattered against the wall" Cat said with a slight smile. "That’s basically what he and Vince said too" B replied as she bit her lower lip in thought.

"Sis, I have to check something out. I’ll be back to see you later" B said as she walked out of the room and headed towards her office.

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

Taker had just made it to the room and opened the door. "You fucked it all up for us now, Big Man" Angel said as Taker walked in. "I didn’t do shit, so put a cork in it before I shove my foot up your ass" Taker replied glaring at Angle.

"Men, let’s be civilized about this. Let’s take a vote" Bradshaw said as he stepped between Angle and Taker. "How many think that Taker did it?" he asked. Hands went up all around the room. "How many think he is innocent?" Again hands went up around the room. "Okay, then there is only one thing to do. Just like on the road, we will convene a court and let the evidence speak for itself. Angle you will prosecute and" . . . He looked around the room "Kane, you will defend. Angle you can pick a co-counsel and you can too Kane. I will ask Lady B if there is a room that we can use to hold court and also ask her to be the head judge as she seems to be level headed. Myself and Rikishi will be the other judges. This court will convene in two days. Everyone be ready" Bradshaw said as he finished.

"Here we go again" Taker said as he limped into the shower room, found some Epsom salts and a foot tub big enough to accommodate his feet. He let the heat from the water relax him as he soaked his tired dogs. He leaned his head against the wall. "Why me?" he thought as he closed his eyes.

Chapter 14 - Lady Cat

B allowed the cafeteria to be used as the courtroom and cancelled classes for the morning. Bradshaw, Rock, and Big Show rearranged the furniture. At 2:00 everyone filed in and sat. Angle was at his table going over his strategy. Those he had chosen to testify were seated in the front row behind him. Taker and Kane entered. A low rumble went through the room, some booing him as they went to their chairs. Taker noticed that Angle had chosen Spike, Nash, and Trips for his witnesses. Taker gave Spike a menacing look, but Spike only smiled, knowing he was finally going to have his say. Cat came in on crutches and sat behind Taker and Kane's table, propping her leg on an empty chair. Taker snarled and wished she had sat more to the back of the room. B, Rikishi, and Bradshaw were last, with B sitting in the middle chair, calling for quiet in the room.

"This trial is being held to find if Taker is guilty or innocent of pushing Cat down the stairs. Angle, you may call your first witness."

Angle called Spike as his first witness. After being sworn in, Spike told, in detail, how he was coerced by Taker, who he said was the ring leader, into getting the food for the wrestlers, whom he named. He added that when he had brought the food back and had asked for a piece, he was told to get lost, and that Taker had threatened him if he told. Taker's eyes stared at Spike, his face devoid of any emotion. Angle told Spike to step down, and called Nash to the stand. He asked Nash to describe Taker's actions in the classroom, especially when they found out about the dance they were going to do. Nash replied that Taker was belligerent, complaining about everything she had them do, and that in their dorm room he had given her the nickname Genghis Khan and that Taker said in front of everyone he was going to have it out with her one day. Nash left the stand. Trips was last and laughed lightly at Taker when he took the stand. Trips backed up everything Nash had said when asked the same question, adding two particular incidents of when Taker, during one of their rehearsals, was going to throw his shoe at her. He said that Cat got in his face and called his bluff, to which Taker backed down. Laughter was heard throughout the room. B banged the gavel and called for quiet. When Trips told Rock that day about what happened, Rock had laughed and Taker had thrown a shoe at him (Trips). It was then, Trips stated, that he left the dorm room to go have it out with her once and for all. Angle asked him one final question. "Do you believe Taker did it?"

Trips looked calmly at Taker and replied, "Yes."

B turned to Kane. "Are you ready?"

Kane nodded. "I call Cat to the stand."

Taker's head snapped up. He pulled on Kane's arm. "What the fuckin' hell are you doing?" he whispered. "Have you lost your mind? That damn woman will hang me!"

"I don't think so."

Cat hobbled to the chair, with some help from Kane. "Tell the room, from day one, about what went on between you and Taker."

Cat told her side, from their first run in until the chat they had on the night she got hurt.

"Did he threaten you at all that night?"

"No, he didn't. He did ask why I didn't like him and I told him I never said I didn't. I told him he had a bad attitude, thinking of himself as the "Big Dog" so to speak. I informed him he was the same as everyone else and would be treated as such. Then I left. He was till there when I left."

"I'm going to ask you for your honest opinion," Kane said. "Do you believe Taker pushed you?"

"I know he didn't push me. If he had, I would have been hurt far worse than just a sprained ankle. Whoever pushed me had a small hand, and I detected a light odor of a woman's perfume."

"So you believe it was a woman who pushed you?"

Cat nodded.

"Would you recognize it if you smelled it again?"

"Yes."

Kane turned to the judges. "I would like, with the judges' permission, to blindfold Cat and have all the women in this room come up, one at a time and stand in back of her."

The judges all nodded in agreement, B asking Angle would he mind, to which Angle replied no. B had Rock blindfold Cat, then one by one, had the women come up and stand in back of her. Cat shook her head as all the divas went by. Then the instructors were told to come up one by one. Cat shook her head as they passed till the last one, to which she said stop. "That's it. That's the one I smelled." Rock took off Cat's blindfold and turned in surprise to see it was one of the salsa instructors. The group in the room were shocked as well.

"Yes, I did it," she hissed.

"Why?" B asked.

"Because she was going to be the lead dancer in an opera. I wanted that part because it was going to be my ticket out of here! I knew if she were injured, they would give me the part. I'm only sorry you didn't break your neck!"

B had Rock sit the instructor down and watch her as she and the other two judges conferred. B banged the gavel for the room to quiet down. "In light of the testimony given by Cat, we find Taker innocent. As for the instructor, Rock, you and Big show will follow her to my office." B looked at her watch. "Classes will resume tomorrow at the usual time, along with the rehearsals. Court is adjourned."

Cat hobbled from the chair, on her way to her room to rest. She passed by Taker, who was being prodded by Kane to go over and thank her. A light tap on the shoulder made her turn. Taker hemmed and hawed till Kane punched his arm. "Thank you," he finally managed to say.

"No thanks are necessary," Cat said. "I only told the truth. We're two days behind on rehearsal so we're going to have to work harder to catch up, which means I'm going to be harder than ever." With that she once again started out the door. As she opened it, she turned and gave him a smile.
