Chapter 15

Lady Cat

The next morning, B had Cat put the group through their warm ups while she called Mr. McMahon to inform him of the outcome of the trial.

The wrestlers were all leaning against the barre when Cat entered. "Why aren't you warming up? GET WITH IT! We're two days behind!"

"Damn hellcat!" Taker muttered.

"Shut up and do as she says," Kane whispered. "You should be grateful she got your butt out of a jam."

The guys were finishing up as B entered. She called Cat aside and told of the conversation. Both women looked at the men and then laughed.

"Now what are they up to?" Bradshaw asked as he stretched.

"Don't even think about it. It will only drive you crazy," Nash replied.

"What's everyone doing standing around! Get back to work!" Cat shouted, clapping her hands. "We'll go over the opening entrance, if you haven't forgotten what that was."

Grudgingly the guys went to their positions. Cat counted as they pirouetted into position. "No! No! Keep your arms up! Like this!" She positioned her arms in a graceful arch. "Now, go back and do it again."

One of the seamstresses poked her head in the door and motioned to B, who went over and then left.

The wrestlers practiced their entrance, over and over and over. Cat limped to each one, moving various parts of their bodies to her liking. Taker looked down to see her hands were close to his grown area. "Getting your kicks?" he smirked.

Cat looked up and grinned. "I don't think you got the balls to handle my kicks," she replied flatly, and limped to the front of the group. Taker's jaw dropped at her remark, which made the guys laugh. "OOOO! Guess she put your male ego down," Kane snickered. Taker closed his mouth and scowled at Kane.

"Look in the mirror. That's what I want to see. Let's do it again."

"How many times does this make?" Farooq asked. "I'm getting dizzy."

"I stopped counting after six," Rikishi said, focusing his eyes.

B came in and motioned to Cat. "Okay, guys, take a break."

"Their costumes are here. They're going to have to try them on," B grinned.

Cat giggled. "Oh this should be a riot. Got everything ready?"

B nodded. "The seamstresses need you to try your costumes on," she said, trying not to laugh. "You'll go one at a time into the fitting room."

B and Cat waited outside the fitting room as each wrestler went in. They noticed that as each man came out, they were red-faced with embarassment. What the wrestlers didn't know was a camera was hidden in the fitting room, taping everything. The girls did their best not to let on, knowing they couldn't wait to watch it later, with a copy being mailed to Mr. McMahon.

They rehearsed for another hour, which, by that time, was close to the dinner hour. The group didn't say much while they ate, and afterwards went straight to their room. They made sure the door was closed and that no one was around.

"Do any of you know what it feels like to see yourself in a bright red frilly dress? I looked like a big red cherry!" Kane moaned.

"Red? I got lime green," Trips pointed to himself. "I looked like Kermit the Frog!"

"I got baby blue," Bradshaw mumbled.

"I'd rather have baby blue than orange!" Angle whimpered.

Rikishi had his head down. "I'm in hot pink!" he muttered.

Laughter from the room could be heard all up and down the hallway.

"I guess I'm lucky. I'm wearing metallic blue," Farooq managed.

"I'm wearing sea-green blue," Rock said. "Wonder if B picked it out?"

Nash shook his head. "Maroon for me. What about you Show?"

"Canary yellow," he replied slowly.

"What color are you?" Kane asked.

"Purple," Taker mumbled.

"What?"

"PURPLE!" Taker yelled.

Back in B's office, the girls were watching the video, laughing at the reaction of each wrestler.

"B, do the guys remind you of anything?"

"They remind of a walking bowl of fruit, except for Big Show. He's more like 'Big Bird' of Sesame Street."

"I can picture Vince McMahon's face when he plays that tape," Cat giggled.

Chapter 16

Lady Cat

The girls rehearsed the guys hard for the next 7 weeks, sometimes working after dinner till 9:00. Most nights found the guys too exhausted to undress and they would simply fall into bed. As usual, Cat was hard on Taker, and most days found them bandying words back and forth, till B stepped in and had them call a truce of sorts. On the day before their program, B and Cat had them go through the routine a couple of times, then gave them the rest of the afternoon to rest and relax. Unbeknown to the group, B had called Mr. McMahon and he informed her he, Linda, and JR would be in that day and that his camera crew would have 3 cameras set up to video tape the performances.

"I'll be glad to get the fuck out of here!" Trips said, stretching his legs.

"So will I," Kane added and then laughed. "Hey Taker, you should be the happiest of us all. You won't have Genghis Khan to deal with after tomorrow."

"You got that right," he said. "No more prissing over the dance floor. After tomorrow, it's back to being the Big Dog."

"I'm going to miss B," Rock sighed.

"You would. You've been kissing up to her ever since we've been here," Angle sarcastically remarked. Rock ignored him.

"At last, to have real food." Rikishi licked his lips.

"Amen!" Farooq added.

The performances were to start at 1:00 with the Divas doing theirs first. Mr. McMahon arrived two hours before. B took him immediately to her office while he had the crew set up the cameras. B and Cat made sure that everyone was in the dining room eating a leisurely lunch. When all was ready, B escorted Mr. McMahon, Linda, and JR to their seats in the balcony. Backstage, everyone was nervous and anxious to get it over with. They were told that after they had performed, they were to sit in the audience to watch the next group. Cat and B kept their group separate from the others as they were the finale.

Cat oversaw the makeup of each wrestler, who each were shocked to see they would be wearing the same color wig as their dress, fake eyelashes, rouge and lipstick. Cat forced back the smile which threatened to appear as she saw how each looked. When it came to donning their dresses, Kane moaned. "This dress doesn't fit right! It sags everywhere! I can't dance in this!"

"What did you expect?" Cat looked at them. She heard the applause. "We'll talk about this later. You'll be next after this. We have to get finished."

She had them look in the mirror as each had a crown of flowers placed on their head, and were given each a horseshoe shaped garland of flowers to use as they danced. Ten pairs of eyes glared at Cat.

TAKER - purple dress, wig, and lilacs
KANE - red dress, wig, and nasturtiums
BIG SHOW - yellow dress, wig, and one big sunflower on his head
ROCK - aqua blue dress, wig, and petunias
HHH - neon green dress, wig, and daisies
BRADSHAW - baby blue dress, wig, and larkspur
ANGLE - orange dress, wig, and pansies
RIKISHI - pink dress, wig, and pink carnations
NASH - maroon dress, wig, and hollyhocks
FAROOQ - blue dress, wig, and forget-me-nots

"You look lovely!" Cat cooed. B came in at that moment. The sight of 10 big men dressed as flowers nearly sent her to the floor laughing, but she quickly gained her composure. She called Cat to the corner. "Time for the finale. I'll let you introduce them." She then whispered. "Mr. McMahon is in the balcony with his wife, Linda, and JR." Cat kept a cool face and nodded. B left to join Mr. McMahon.

"Okay, girls, it's show time."

The grumbling group walked down a short corridor to the side of the stage and waited while Cat walked onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, as the finale for this afternoon's performance, B and I have a wonderful dance in store for you that our group has worked hard on for the past several weeks. It is a beautiful dance from 'The Nutcracker Suite - Waltz of the Flowers.'"

At the announcement, light laughter and snickers could be heard throughout the audience. The men backstage moaned. Cat held up her hands. "Everybody. These men have worked hard, so please, no laughter from anyone." Cat walked off the stage. She signaled for the curtain to open. The backdrop scene was that of a field of flowers. She turned the tape on and nodded for them to begin.

Chapter 17

Lady B

B made it to her seat just as the lights dimmed. As the guys came out from both sides of the stage, Vince had all he could do not to fall out of the balcony. He was laughing that hard. Linda clamped a hand over his mouth and held him to his seat. You could see JR's stomach rising and falling as he silently laughed behind his hat.

Lady Cat watched from the curtains as the dancers came out in their versions of pirouettes (some of them still did them flatfooted). They danced through the first few steps and then it was time for some of them to be picked up from the ground.

Bradshaw grabbed Farooq and brought him chest high and then placed him back on the ground. Taker did the same to Rock and Kane followed with HHH. Nash grabbed Angle and raised him so high that when he placed him down Angle wound up on his ass when his feet slipped out from under him. As he got up on all fours his wig slipped and the back wound up on the front. Nash grabbed him by the back of his leotard and as he attempted to help him up, Angle wound up with a wedgie.

Big Show and Rikishi just waddled past each other in their attempt at dancing, as neither one could pick up the other from the ground in that maneuver.

As Taker went by Angle he grabbed Angle's wig and pulled it around until it was almost correct on his head. Angle wasn't expecting this so he wound up going around twice and hitting the ground again. Angle got up again and continued on with his imitation of the dance.

Vince had all he could do not to pee in his pants as he laughed. JR was turning red in the face and Linda's mascara was running. The audience were all snickering by now. Some of them could barely contain the smirks off their faces. Some were even crying behind their hands as they tried to control their laughter.

At last the dance mercifully finished and the crowd got up and gave them a standing ovation. The line of dancers bowed and started to clunk off stage as the house lights came up.

Vince, JR and Linda were standing on the balcony clapping. Taker happened to look up and stopped in his tracks. As he did so, this caused the whole line to have a domino effect as each one bumped into the person standing in front of them. "Oh No!!!!" was heard from the whole line as the camera men came out with their cameras taping from their concealed areas and approached the stage.

The audience turned to look up at the balcony and all stared with their mouths opened as Vince, Linda, JR and Lady B started descending the stairs to meet up with Lady Cat.

Chapter 18

Lady Cat and Lady B

No one spoke as B escorted the guests onto the stage. Of course, the "dancing flowers" glared at B and Cat. It didn't help any that Vince was still smiling. "Everyone will adjourn to the dining hall for refreshments," B said.

The groups filed off stage behind B, Cat, and the "special guests." The big men were the last. "Can't we at least change first?" Angle was practically begging while still getting the wedgie out of his behind.

Vince replied, "Oh, no. I want to see you this way for a while longer." He yelled at the cameramen, "Be sure to get plenty of tape!"

"Vince, I think we should let them change," B said looking at the guys.

"Oh, alright," Vince said.

"Go ahead guys. Head for the lockers and showers. The refreshments will still be there when you guys return," B said to them.

The men grumbled as they waddled in full costume to the locker room, their faces red. Before entering, Rock took a look at B. He saw her standing next to Vince still talking. He went into the locker room with a plan forming in his head.

Once they were changed they made their way back to the dining hall. As they made their entrance, everyone clapped and cheered "bravo!" Goldust, being his usual flighty self, began his rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips". Of course with his Turrets, he wound up saying things he shouldn't have, to which Big Show grabbed a bowl of dip and poured it on Goldust's head. This brought everyone to laughter. Rikishi went over to the table and heaved a small sigh, "Real food at last!"

Later, as the groups when to their respective dorms to relax, Vince, Linda, JR, Cat and B were in B's office. "I am still amazed!" Vince shook his head. "How did you get them to do it? Taker in a dress! Unbelievable!"

"Simple," B replied. "Cat and I just showed them who was boss."

"I've been thinking. Just to keep them on their toes, how would it be if the two of you came along, say for a month or so?"

Cat and B looked at each other. "Do you think it's necessary? I would think we would be the last people they want to look at."

"Why don't you just call us if they go back to their old ways and we'll make a special appearance just to get them back on track again" B said.

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll keep your number handy." Vince gave them a wink.

TWO DAYS LATER

The group had just finished their last meal before they would be leaving. Their bags and suitcases were already packed. Kane looked around and didn't see Taker. "Now where is he?"

"He hasn't left yet," Bradshaw said. "I saw him heading off down the hallway towards one of the dance rooms mumbling something about settling things once and for all."

Kane groaned. "Damn that sob is stubborn!" Kane went off in the direction that Bradshaw pointed.

Cat had just finished practicing her routine and was resting when Taker came in. "This is a surprise. I was about to go shower and see you off."

"Not yet. There are still some things that need settling between you and me."

"What? About the way you were treated? I did that because of the way you acted. My being hard on you got you in shape. Take a good look in the mirror."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Then what?"

"You don't know?"

Before she could reply Taker jerked her off the floor and ground his lips into hers.

The rest of the guys, except for Rock, had followed Kane, looking in every room till they reached the last one. Taking a deep breath, Kane peered through the door. "What's going on?" Nash asked. Kane motioned for him to look. "Why that fuckin' sob," Nash said, smiling. Trips pushed his way up to the door, then turned. "HMM! Now that's settling things!" The others peeked then walked away and laughed.

Taker broke the kiss and put a dazed Cat back on the floor. "Now we're even." He turned to leave, then looked back. "Oh, just for your information, I do have the 'balls' to handle any 'kicks' you might have," he said with a wry grin, then walked out the door.

B had everyone come to the auditorium. Cat had showered and dressed and then joined B on the stage. Between them was a table which had rolled sheets of paper tied with ribbon. B called for quiet.

"I know all of you are anxious to leave, but Cat, I and the other instructors wanted you to have something before you left. So as Cat calls your name, would you please come up to the stage."

Cat called each wrestler up to the stage who in turn were each given a rolled sheet. Taker was the last, and as he passed Cat, she gave him a slow wink.

"Do you have anything you want to say Cat?" B asked.

"Only that it was a pleasure and it was fun having all of you here", giving Taker a small smile.

"On my behalf, I have to say that I haven't had so much fun in a long itme, and it hs also been a pleasure for me having you guys here. Believe me when I say that you earned those diplomas that your are holding from this academy," B said.

With that Rock came back up on the stage and stood in front of B. Vince had the cameras start rolling again because, knowing the Rock, something was going to happen. Rock bent down slightly, gave B the people's eyebrow, then quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Once he broke the kiss, he whispered in her ear, "If you want the people's struddle, just nod your head slightly and I'll be glad to oblige." To the camera he said, That's what you get for messing with the People's Champ!"

To which everyone clapped and cheered. "That's the way to show her, Rock!" was heard above all else.

Chapter 19

The wrestlers exited the academy in droves, the noises of cars, trucks, motorcycles and jeeps deafening. Taker revved up his Harley for the long ride back, a smile crossing his face as he pictured the dazed expression on Cat's face when he left her. When the show next came to Philly, a certain hellcat would receiving more of their "settlement."

Rock, too, had a wide smile on his face. He had gotten the best of B. As the cab pulled away for the ride to the airport, he made a note that on their next trip to Philly, a certain spitfire would be seeing him at her door so that he could give her some of the "people's struddle."

B and Cat closed the academy for the rest of the day, wanting nothing more than to rest after the past 10 weeks. The next morning, Cat was in the dining hall eating a small container of yogurt. B shuffled in, ready for a cup of coffee and a cigarette.

"It is so quiet here," Cat said. "I expect any minute to hear shuffling and mumbling."

B giggled. "Me too. I kind of got used to it." B poured herself a cup and sat down.

"Uh, Cat. I happened to overhear something concerning you and Taker yesterday."

"Oh? Nothing happened," Cat shrugged her shoulders.

"That's not what I heard. I saw Kane and the rest of them smiling as they came down the hall, talking about how Taker had you off the floor and kissing you." B's brows were arched.

Cat's cheeks flushed as she got up to get herself some juice. "Oh, that. Well, he was just settling things between us according to him." She said back down. "And what about that little scene on the stage yesterday, hmmm?"

B sipped her coffee slowly as a slight pink crept into her cheeks. "Think we'll ever see them again?"

"I don't know," Cat replied. "In a strange way, I kind of hope we do. Wouldn't it be something if McMahon had to call us in again?"

B laughed. "Cat, you are the devil."

EPILOGUE

Several months later, B and Cat were going over school records and getting ready for the next session of classes when the phone rang. B picked up. It was Vince McMahon. "Girls, I need your HELP!"
