The Kliq Sisters part 1

[Lil Wolf]

It was a typical Saturday afternoon and with nothing to do, Liz sat in front of her television flipping through the channels endlessly. She was bored as usual as she sat alone in her small, one bedroom apartment. Usually, Liz would get on the internet and talk to the only people she considered friends. But, she wasn't in the mood for that.

Sighing, she popped in an old wrestling tape and smiled when she saw Kevin's face. Since the dinner, she'd taken to calling Kevin, "Pappa Wolf".

Tiger Rose had her music on loud and she was enjoying her time alone. She had also kept in touch with the women she'd met in Florida. And she was looking forward to the next dinner which was supposed to take place in Las Vegas some time in the future.

The other women, Bobbi, Penny, Pearl, Christy, and Reesy also kept in touch. They had connected at the dinner and now they were more like sisters. And of course, everyone kept in touch with Ali and Kat.

The famous, "Christmas Ball" finally reached Kevin and he smiled upon seeing it. It reminded him of that wonderful night in Florida when he'd met his fans and had dinner with them. He decided that it was time for another dinner since it'd been two years since the last one. He picked up the phone and placed a call to Kat.

After getting the gist of what Kevin wanted, Kat started organizing the second dinner. It was already May and she wanted to have everything set by November. It took four months to organize everything and another two months to get all the details worked out. By November, the dinner was scheduled and it was set to take place in Las Vegas.

All of the women who'd been in Florida were excited about the dinner except for Bobbi and Liz. Liz had barely enough money to get by and Bobbi was dealing with personal issues. They had confided in each other about this and both gave Kat their reasons for not attending, but she wouldn't have it.

She managed to talk them both into going, so Liz sold a few things to get the money together, while Bobbi already had enough to pay for the trip. She had just recently left a boyfriend and she was having a hard time dealing with this. Liz was going through the same thing, so she understood what Bobbi was going through.

Liz offered to do a few personal websites for people she knew to make some extra money. She managed to earn eight hundred dollars to spend in Las Vegas. But, she had no intentions of going to the casinos because she didn't like to gamble, so she knew she probably wouldn't be spending a lot of money.

Tiger Rose had packed early for the trip because she was excited about it. Pearl and Reesy had done the same thing. Penny took her time deciding what to bring and what not to bring. Christy had an easier time with this and packed right on time.

Kevin was surprised to learn that the only fans attending were the very same fans who'd attended the dinner in Florida, but he wasn't entirely disappointed, since he'd been hoping to see these same women again.

The weekend of the trip, every woman was at the airport in their city at one time or another waiting to board their flight. Kat and Ali had already landed in Vegas and were waiting dutifully at the airport for their arrival. By six in the evening, everyone had showed up, except for Liz. Once again, she couldn't be found. Everyone laughed about this but Liz wasn't laughing.

She'd gotten lost again, but not in the airport. She had been booked on the wrong flight and ended up in Oregon. She was currently arguing with security about this. Finally, someone managed to make sense of it all and they got her back on a plane heading to Las Vegas. Liz didn't arrive until later that night.

By seven, Kat was worried. She took the other women back to the hotel and returned to the airport, but Liz wasn't there. With no way to contact her, Kat had no choice but to return to the hotel. At ten minutes after nine, Liz finally landed in Las Vegas. She called Kat on her cell phone and told her what happened. Kat rushed to the airport to pick her up and bring her to the hotel. Once again, everyone had a good laugh over Liz getting lost, but she was tired and frustrated and ended up turning in early.

This time, Liz and Bobbi had agreed to share a room, while Penny and Pearl shared one. Tiger and Reesy also shared a room and Christy stayed in a room by herself, which she didn't mind much, because she had peace and quiet at night and was able to get some rest.

By morning, everyone was excited about being in Vegas. It was sure to be an exciting day for everyone. Kat surprised them all by announcing that Kevin would be spending not one, but two days with them, since he'd also booked a hotel room in Vegas. This was more than they could take.

"So, what's first?" Christy was quick to ask. "The casinos of course." Penny announced. Kat agreed and said that Kevin was looking forward to going to the casinos too. Liz lost her smile. She wanted to avoid the casinos. When everyone made plans to meet in front of the hotel, Liz said that she wouldn't be there.

"Why not?" Tiger asked. "I don't like gambling much. I'd just rather hang out at the hotel." Liz explained. Nobody was going to accept that though and Liz soon learned this. They talked her into going to the casinos, but they couldn't talk her into gambling. She followed everyone around like a lost puppy, watching them have a good time and for the second time, she felt completely out of place. Already, she was regretting her decision to come to Las Vegas.

Bobbi was enjoying herself for the most part, but she kept thinking about how alone she was now and once in a while, she would frown. The rest of the women had their share of personal problems, but they weren't going to let anything get in the way of enjoying a weekend with Kevin Nash. Scott Hall making an appearance just after eight was an added bonus and one that no one had expected.

Scott and Kevin together were terror twins, razzing people, making a fuss, and causing any kind of trouble they could. Of course, it was all in good fun and everyone laughed. Even Liz, who had been very quiet up to this point, had laughed at their antics. It was impossible not to.

After several hours in the casino, the ladies said goodnight to Kevin and returned to their rooms to get some sleep, but sleep was the last thing anyone wanted. They were all too excited about being in Vegas with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, so they spent the night talking out by the pool.

When morning came, none of the ladies got up right away. They were all exhausted from staying up late. When the ladies did finally meet for breakfast, they somehow ended up in a discussion about what it would be like to live together in one big house. Christy already lived in Florida and suggested that this would be a nice place for them all to live together.

Of course, no one was being serious at first. But when Christy mentioned that no one really had a reason for not moving to Florida, everyone gave it some serious thought and realized that she was right. "Should we really consider this?" Tiger asked. "I will." Bobbi said. "Yeah, me too. I can get a teaching job out here." Pearl agreed. Even Reesy agreed that it sounded tempting. Kontara agreed with the others, but Liz hadn't said anything yet.

"Come on, what reason do you have for saying no?" Bobbi asked her. Liz shrugged and smiled at her friend. "None, I suppose. It's just weird. I don't have a lot of money and I'm going back to school now and well..." She let her voice trail off.

"Listen, we know you've got it rough. Heck, we all do. That's why we should do this. We can all support each other." Christy commented. Liz finally agreed to think it over, so everyone returned to their rooms to give the new idea some thought.

"What am I supposed to do for money?" Liz asked Bobbi when they returned to their room. "I'm sure you'll find some kind of work out here. This is Florida after all." Bobbi remarked. "Well, I guess I could look into it." Liz replied.

Later that afternoon, the ladies met again. Christy had a pile of newspapers. "I thought we could look through these and see if there's anything interesting." She explained. "Will there be Florida properties in there?" Reesy asked. Christy nodded and handed her a newspaper. One by one, the group went through the newspapers. They found quite a few properties that seemed reasonable enough.

For Liz, this was happening way too fast. She knew she didn't have anything back in Philadelphia, but this was a big change and Liz wasn't good with change.

Bobbi had already decided that this would be a good move because having friends around would help her get over her feelings for her ex-boyfriend. And she wouldn't feel so lonely anymore.

By late evening, the ladies had six properties in various sections of Florida that they wanted to see. Four of the ladies had agreed that Tampa would be a great place to live. Nobody verbally mentioned that this was partly due to the fact that Kevin lived there, but they had all been thinking it.

The remaining two ladies were undecided about the location. One of those ladies was Liz. She was worried that moving to Tampa would seem a bit obvious to Kat and perhaps Kevin if he were to hear about it. Bobbi squelched her fears though and she agreed that Tampa sounded nice. That left Pearl who liked Orlando as much as she liked Tampa. But, she ultimately decided that Tampa was better because they'd be closer to Kevin.

That night during the dinner party, Kat asked the ladies what they'd done that day. When they told her, she was surprised and amused. "So, you're really thinking about moving in together?" She asked. "Well, not thinking, we've kind of decided to do it." Christy admitted. "And you've already found a place?" Ali asked. "Yeah, we looked through some newspapers today and found a few places that sound interesting." Pearl said. "Where are they?" Kat asked. "Tampa." Bobbi admitted. Ali and Kat laughed when they heard this. "I'm not surprised." Kat said.

The ladies enjoyed another evening with Kevin and Scott, listening to road stories and the like. The night was far from ordinary though because Scott turned out to be quite the comedian.

After that night, everyone went home and agreed to meet in Florida in a few months to check out some properties. Four months after the Vegas Dinner, everyone met at a hotel in Tampa. They contacted a real estate agency and explained what they were looking for. Then they went out and saw a few homes. After a full day of shopping for a house, they settled for one in Tampa, but they had no idea how close or far away from Kevin they were.

Arrangements were made and the money was put down on the house. Liz had found work after she returned home, so she had saved enough to put in her share. The rest of the ladies already had jobs, so they were able to put in their shares too. Once the papers were signed, everyone returned to the hotel to spend the night talking together.

Settlement on the house didn't go through for another two months, so everyone had gone home again. The next time they met in Florida, it was to move into their new home. On that night, the ladies decided to go shopping. While strolling through a local Tampa mall, they spotted the one person they thought they'd never see.

And apparently, having a good memory, he noticed them too.

None of the ladies wanted to appear intrusive, so they continued on acting as if they hadn't seen him, but he was curious as to why all of them were together in Tampa, so he wandered over to them.

"Hello ladies." He said, getting their attention. Bobbi immediately started to blush, while Pearl smiled brightly and said hello. Kontara also managed to say hello as did Reesy and Tiger. Christy also said hello. Liz managed to get a hi in, but she looked all around her, avoiding making eye contact with him.

"What are you all doing in Tampa, if you don't mind me asking?" He said.

"Well, we decided to move here." Kontara blurted out. "Yeah, we got a big house." Tiger added.

"All of you?" He asked.

Everyone nodded. "So, you’re like a kliq now, huh?" Kevin asked, an obvious attempt at a joke, which was more like a pun. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." Tiger agreed.

"The Kliq sisters." Christy remarked and Pearl laughed. "Sounds good to me." Kevin said. "So, you all moved out here to be closer to me, huh?" He asked. "Well, not exactly. I mean, that's not the only reason." Bobbi admitted. "We liked it here." Kontara explained. "Yeah, it's nice out here in Tampa." Tiger agreed.

Kevin spoke to the ladies for a few minutes before departing for home, having decided that he'd had enough of shopping.

"Can you believe we just ran into Kevin?" Bobbi asked when the ladies were alone again. "I know, who would've thought we'd run into him in the mall." Reesy agreed. "I'm sure we'll see him again. Now let's finish shopping." Christy suggested. Everyone continued their shopping for another hour before returning to their new home.

Over the next several weeks, the ladies got settled, each securing a job in their prospective fields. Even Liz managed to find a job working at home like she'd wanted. This way she could finish school and earn money at the same time.

The ladies invited Kat and Ali to visit, so they stopped by one day while they were in Tampa on business. Kat got a call from Kevin while she was there and ended up explaining where she was. When he heard, he suggested everyone meeting for a casual dinner that night. Kat suggested it to the ladies who all agreed that it was a good idea, everyone except for Liz who decided not to go.

Bobbi and Christy tried to talk her into it, but she declined and stayed behind.

At dinner that night, Kevin was his usual outgoing self and fed everyone a bunch of amusing stories, which they all found interesting. He got to know them a little better and mentioned the Kliq sisters, which had everyone laughing. Christy had been fooling around, but the name kind of stuck that night.

Later, after everyone had eaten, the ladies decided to call it a night, but they invited Kevin, Kat, and Ali back to their house. When they got there, Bobbi was the first to enter the house. She saw Liz on the phone, her eyes full of tears and panicked because Kevin was on his way up to the front door.

Quickly, she rushed over to Liz and whispered in her ear. "Kevin's here." Liz jumped up and ran up the stairs with the phone so he wouldn't see her crying.

"Nice." Kevin said when he got inside. "Thanks." Christy replied. She decided to give Kevin a tour of the place, while everyone else made themselves comfortable. Bobbi suddenly remembered that Liz was in her room crying.

"How many bedrooms are in this house?" Kevin asked. "Five." Christy replied. "Bobbi and I share a room. Pearl shares a room with Kontara, Tiger, Reesy, and Liz have their own rooms." Christy explained.

When they passed by Liz's room, Christy stopped for a moment. "Sounds like someone's crying." Kevin said. "This is Liz's room." Christy said. "Lil Wolf?" Kevin asked. Christy nodded and led him down the hall.

Liz hung up the phone and went to the bathroom after making sure that no one was in the hall. She washed her face and cleaned up a bit before going down to get a drink.

"Are you okay?" Bobbi asked. "Yeah, fine." Liz said. "Who were you on the phone with?" Bobbi asked. Liz frowned when she thought of the phone call. "It was nothing." She said, deciding not to tell Bobbi who she'd been talking to.

Kevin and Christy came downstairs and spotted Liz sitting on the couch. Kevin could tell that she'd been crying and wondered why, but he didn't ask. Instead, he entertained his new friends for a while before he decided to leave. The ladies invited him to come again and he promised he would.

The weeks seemed to go by endlessly. Every week the ladies would get together in the living room to watch Kevin on TNA. They never missed a show and decided to attend a live event two months after they moved to Tampa.

They got front row seats and told Kat about going. She informed Kevin that they would be there, so he promised to acknowledge them. The event was exciting and Kevin was his usual thingyy self, which had the ladies amused. He went over and said hello to them while he was out by the ring.

A week after that event, Kevin came to visit again. Bobbi and Christy cooked dinner that night, while the other ladies sat with Kevin and talked. They really were becoming a Kliq of sorts and Kevin was becoming the ringleader.

Liz was unusually quiet again, which had Bobbi worried. She'd been okay up until she'd gotten that phone call and she never told anyone who she'd been talking to.

[Lil Wolf]

Reesy finally got Liz alone and asked her about the phone call. "What's going on?" She asked. "It's Tony. He's moving out here." Liz admitted. "What?" Reesy asked, obviously surprised. "Yeah, he misses me and he wants to work things out." Liz said. "You're not going to, are you?" Reesy asked. "I don't know." She admitted. Reesy told everyone what Liz had said. Kevin had no idea what was going on, but Bobbi decided to fill him in.

"So, this loser hurt her and now he's coming out here to try and convince her to go back to him?" Kevin asked, wanting to understand fully. "Yeah and she said she doesn't know what she wants." Reesy replied. "We can not let her go back to the creep. He'll just hurt her again." Christy said. Everyone agreed. "Maybe I could talk to her." Kevin offered. "I don't think that's a good idea. Liz might be embarrassed." Tiger commented. "Yeah, she'd be really upset if she knew that you knew about this." Reesy agreed.

Everything was quiet until Tony finally showed up in Tampa. It seemed that he was some kind of curse because on the day of his arrival, Bobbi ended up getting into a car accident on her way home from work and Kontara got stuck in an elevator at work. She called home to tell her friends that she was stuck. They offered to come down to her work, but she told them not to bother.

The news about Bobbi came later that night. Someone from a local hospital called to tell the ladies that their friend had been in an accident. They were on their way out the door to go to St. Mary's Hospital when Tony showed up.

Liz didn't know what to say or do, so she just stared at him. Reesy grabbed her hand and urged her to get in the car, while the others told him to get lost.

They left for the hospital to see their friend, while Tony watched them go. Liz knew it wouldn't be the last time she saw him, but that was the least of her worries now. Their friend had been hurt and everyone wanted to make sure she was okay...

Meanwhile, Kontara finally got out of the elevator and called Pearl to let her know it, but Pearl gave her friend the bad news. "How is she?" Kontara asked. "Well, she's awake now and she's okay mentally, but physically...she's not doing so well." Pearl admitted.

Bobbi laid in a hospital bed wishing that she were anywhere else. She didn't understand how this could have happened to her. It certainly hadn't been her fault. Surely, whoever had done this to her hadn't done it on purpose. That would have been... She couldn't even finish the thought. It was too awful.

"Well young lady, you're going to be fine, but it will take some time for you to recover from this." Bobbi looked up to see a older man in a white coat staring down at her. She knew this must be the doctor, but she didn't ask. She didn't care. Nothing seemed to matter now. If only she had stayed in Idaho.

Everyone filed into the room the nurse had shown them. They found their friend lying awake, but she didn't look very happy. "Hey." Reesy said as she approached the bed. "Hi." Bobbi mumbled. "Are you okay?" Christy asked. "Well, I guess. I'm pretty banged up." Bobbi admitted. Her friends looked her over before getting the doctor gave them the details of Bobbi's condition.

It wasn't too bad in their opinion. She had lived. That in itself was a miracle. She had gotten a broken leg and broken ribs, but the rest of her injuries consisted of bruising on her face, legs, and arms. Currently, Bobbi had a neck brace on because she'd gotten whiplash too.

"When can she leave?" Tiger asked. "Just as soon as we get a cast on that leg of hers. And she'll need her ribs wrapped."

It was a few hours before Bobbi was released from the hospital.

Over the next several days, Bobbi rested on the couch while the others went to work everyday as usual. Liz hadn't forgotten about Tony's arrival in Florida and wondered when she'd be running into him again. She'd given his offer some thought and decided not to accept. She knew what would happen if she did.

Since Liz worked from home, she was able to help Bobbi out during her breaks. One afternoon while Liz and Bobbi were talking, she heard someone knock at the door. "I'll get it." She said, wondering who would be knocking. They weren't expecting anyone.

Liz was surprised to see Kat and Kevin when she opened the door. "Hi, come on in." She said. Kat and Kevin said hello before stepping inside. "Bobbi, how are you? I just heard the news from Kontara." Kat remarked. "I'm doing much better. Thank you." Bobbi replied.

Bobbi filled Kevin and Kat in on the accident, while Liz went to make something to eat. She had just finished making a sandwich, when she heard another knock at the front door.

"Don't worry, I'll get it." Liz said as she made her way over to the front door. When she opened the door and saw who it was, she nearly choked. "What are you doing here?" Liz asked. "I came to see you. I know you're not happy or anything, but I also know that you miss me." Tony said.

She stepped outside and closed the door so they could talk privately. "I do miss you, but I don't trust you." Liz said. "I promise I won't hurt you again." Tony insisted. "I'm sorry; I'm not going to change my mind." Liz replied. Tony decided that he wasn't going to give up easily. He ran into Liz, literally, while she was out shopping one afternoon.

Against her better judgment, she stopped to speak to him. After he pleaded with her to have dinner, she finally agreed and promised to meet him for dinner later that night. When she got home, she showered and changed, but she didn't tell her friends about her dinner date.

"Where are you going tonight?" Kontara asked when she saw her friend dressed up. "Out for a while." Liz admitted. "You're going to meet Tony, aren't you?" Reesy asked. When Liz didn't answer, Reesy frowned. Bobbi decided to speak up and say something, but Liz objected and went out anyway.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Reesy asked. "Well, she's not going to listen to us." Kontara remarked. The ladies sat around discussing the matter at hand for a while, but nobody could come up with a good resolution. They knew Liz well enough to know that she'd be sucked in by Tony's fake kindness.

"You know what, we should call Kevin." Tiger said. "Why?" Reesy asked. "That's a great idea." Bobbi remarked. "Yeah, we all know how much Liz adores Kevin. I'll bet she'd listen to him." Christy commented. Bobbi called Kat first and told her what was going on. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. He has taken to you ladies." Kat admitted.

Kat called Kevin and told him that his new lady friends wanted to speak to him about something. Well, Kevin being the extremely caring guy that he was, he decided to visit them personally to see what was going on.

When he showed up at their house that night, Bobbi let him in and waited until he got comfortable.

"So, what's going on?" Kevin asked.

"Well, our friend Liz has gotten herself into a bit of trouble." Reesy said. "What kind of trouble?" Kevin asked. Bobbi filled him in on everything that had happened with Tony.

"She's out with this guy right now?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, and we know that he's probably going to try to persuade her to come back to him." Reesy replied. "Yeah, and he's a jerk." Pearl added.

Kevin considered the situation for a moment. He was about to say something when Liz walked in the door. Everyone looked up and saw that she didn't appear to be upset about anything, so they assumed her dinner date went better than they'd hoped.

"Hi, how was your date?" Kontara asked. Liz noticed Kevin immediately and blushed. She always seemed to do that when he was around. "It was okay." She admitted. She ignored everyone’s stares and went up to her room to change. When she came down, she saw that the room had cleared. Kevin was sitting on the couch alone.

"Come sit down." He said. She walked over and sat on the couch, distancing herself from him a little.

"You know, your friends told me about this guy you went out with tonight." Kevin said. Liz felt uncomfortable suddenly. She wanted to leave the room, but she didn't want to be rude.

"I know that you've been with this guy for a long time and it's hard to get over someone, even if they act like a total jerk. But, you came out here to Tampa to start over, right?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, I guess so." Liz admitted.

"Well, maybe you should give yourself a little more time. This guy might seem like he's changed, but I think what will happen is, he'll get you to come back to him and then you'll see the old Tony again." Kevin said. Liz frowned slightly, but she made no attempt to talk. Kevin knew that she was considering what he said.

"You know, your friends, their really great women. You all have something in common. You're my fans and that brought you together. I appreciate that and I think you guys are the some of my greatest fans, but there's something a little different about you." Kevin said.

Liz watched him, knowing exactly where he was going with this, but she didn't let him know it. She was too embarrassed to say anything, so she just sat there.

"I knew that the night I met you. I could tell there was something different, but I wasn't sure what it was. Now, your friends told me a little, but I don't know it all. But, from the little that I do know, I gather your life hasn't exactly been peaches and cream. I know about your father and I know a little about this guy you were with." Kevin explained.

This was all a bit much for Liz. She hadn't expected her friends to tell him this much. She really wanted to excuse herself, but something in the way that he was looking at her made her stay. Kevin seemed to have a certain quality that Liz had never felt before. It was almost as if he were commanding her to stay with just a simple expression.

"And I know some of the things you've said about me." Kevin remarked. Liz's face turned bright red now. Had her friends really told him what she'd said about him? If that were the case, then he must know what she thought of him. And knowing that, she was dreadfully embarrassed. How much longer would this go on?

"Don't be embarrassed." Kevin remarked, reading her thoughts. Liz looked away when she heard him. "Look, I'm flattered that you feel this way. Hell, you're still young. You've got your whole life ahead of you and I'd love to see you have a little happiness for a change. Your friends would too, so I think you should reconsider your decision to give this guy the time of day." Kevin said.

"What am I supposed to do then?" Liz finally asked. She looked up at him, hoping he'd have some great idea, but she saw nothing in his eyes.

"I think you should tell this guy to get lost and continue with the original plan to start your life over. You've got plenty of nice friends here to help with that and of course, you can always come to me if you need to." Kevin offered.

Come to Kevin? Was he for real? Liz almost laughed aloud when she heard that. This guy was busy with his wrestling career, his acting career, and who knows what else. Yet, he was offering to put aside time for her if she needed it? Why? She wondered what would make him want to do this.

"Hey look, I'm a single guy, living alone and I've got plenty of room for a young girl that wishes I were her father." Kevin said.

That did it. Liz abruptly stood up and tried to leave, but Kevin stopped her. "Don't be embarrassed. I told you, I'm flattered. And after hearing about all the things this guy did to you, I'm concerned." Kevin said.

Suddenly, every one of Liz's friends came into the room. "We are too, Liz. You're our friend and you can do better than Tony. We don't want you to end up miserable all over again." Tiger said. "Yeah, we all came out here to start over again, to make a better life for ourselves." Bobbi agreed. "And we want the same thing for you." Reesy added. The others nodded.

"Well, my dinner date didn't go that well anyway." Liz admitted.

"What happened?" Kevin asked.

Liz sat down and put her head in her hands. She looked up a moment later and saw all of her friends sitting around her.

"He asked me to move in with him. I told him no and he argued that you guys were the reason I left him. I told him that wasn't true, but he insisted it was. I got a little angry and told him that I'd wasted my time. Then he started to apologize, so I forgave him like I always did." Liz began to explain.

"Then what happened?" Pearl asked. "Well, we had dinner. Then he tried to get me to go home with him. I told him I wanted to go home, but he wouldn't take me there. I suggested maybe we should take a walk. He liked that idea, so we did. We talked some more, but we got nowhere. I finally told him that I was going home and he made me promise to call him before I did." Liz said.

"So, are you going to call him?" Bobbi asked. "Well, I don't know. I was going to, but I'm not sure what to do really. I don't think he's just going to disappear." Liz admitted. "We'll make him disappear." Kontara remarked. "Yeah, and I'll bet he takes one look at Kevin and runs the other way." Reesy said. Everyone laughed at this remark, even Liz.

"Suppose I come over tomorrow and hang out for a while. We'll see if this guy comes around." Kevin suggested. "Sure, that's a great idea." Tiger said. "In fact, since it's the weekend, why not have a little party." Pearl suggested. "Sounds like a plan. I'll invite Scott and a few of the other boys." Kevin said. Everyone agreed that it was a great idea.

They spent the following morning shopping for the party and Tony was temporarily forgotten.

Later in the afternoon, Kevin showed up at the house. Bobbi let him in. "Where's Scott?" Reesy asked. She was looking forward to seeing the man she adored so much. "He'll be here in a while. He's bringing a few people too." Kevin said. "Like?" Kontara asked.

"Well, we called a few of the boys up to see if they'd be interested in meeting a few beautiful women." Kevin admitted.

"You didn't answer my question." Kontara said.

"Jeff Jarrett, Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman, Dallas Page and his wife Kimberly, Mark Callaway, and Glenn Jacobs, and Paul Levesque." Kevin said.

"Wow, this is going to be an interesting party." Tiger remarked.

A few hours later, Scott Hall arrived with everyone. Kevin introduced his lady friends and watched everyone get comfortable. The party was under way.

Reesy admired Scott from her spot on the couch, while Tiger Rose admired Mark Callaway, who seemed to be amused with her as well.

Sean Waltman, being shy sat beside Kevin and talked quietly with a few of the women. Of course, Kevin picked up on his shyness right away and started teasing him about it. Everyone laughed, including Sean and Pearl mentioned that he was a lot like Liz, who immediately blushed upon hearing this.

[Lil Wolf]

Kevin noticed Reesy watching Scott, so he nudged his friend and nodded to her. Scott saw that she was staring at him, so he went to sit beside her, giving her his undivided attention.

Shawn Michaels immediately started a conversation with Christy, deciding that she was worth paying attention to. Liz, much like Sean, sat quietly just admiring the situation. Having all of these people around her was a bit overwhelming.

Everyone was having a great time together until Kevin noticed that Liz was missing. "Hey, where's Liz?" He asked. Everyone looked around them. "I don't know. She must've gone upstairs." Pearl suggested. "I'll go check." Tiger offered. She went upstairs to look for Liz, but she wasn't there. "Oh great, this is one of the reasons we got together." Bobbi muttered.

"I'm sure she's around." Kontara remarked. "I'm going to check outside." Reesy told everyone. She got up and went to the front door. When she opened it, she saw Liz sitting with Tony on the front porch. She turned around and looked at everyone and they immediately noticed her frown.

Scott stood up and went to the door to see what had brought her down. When he saw Liz sitting with Tony, hew went outside. This got Kevin's attention. He stood up and joined his best friend on the porch. Jeff Jarrett followed Kevin.

"Hey, we're having a party and you're missing all the fun." Scott said, hoping to keep the conversation light. "I know. I'm sorry. I'll be right in." Liz promised. "Well, I can wait." Scott said. He leaned against the rail and folded his arms across his chest.

"Do you mind?" Tony asked. "Not at all." Scott retorted. Liz almost laughed when she saw the expression on his face. Kevin noticed Tony and walked over to his friend. He stood right beside him, wearing his most intimidating expression and waited for Tony to say something stupid.

"Can we go somewhere?" Tony asked. Liz opened her mouth to say something, but Kevin answered for her. "No." He said, rather bluntly. "I wasn't asking you." Tony remarked. "I know." Kevin replied.

"I really should go in. You know, my friends are expecting me to hang out." Liz remarked. "And she doesn't want you to come back." Kevin added. "Who the hell are you to say what she wants?" Tony asked. "I'm the guy who's going to hurt you if you don't get off this property by the time I count to five." Kevin retorted.

Liz stood up when she heard that. "Please don't..." She began, stopping Kevin mid-count. "Hey, remember what we talked about?" He asked. "I know, but..." Liz began again. "But nothing. You're starting over. This isn't starting over. This is reverting back to your old ways and from what I've heard, you were unhappy." Kevin told her.

Liz frowned at his mention of her past again. She turned to Tony and told him to leave. "You're going to listen to him?" Tony asked. "Yeah, I am. He's a very intelligent guy." Liz remarked. "What, are you two involved or something?" Tony asked. Kevin found himself getting offended by this remark. He stepped right up to Tony and looked down at the smaller man.

"First of all, that is none of your business, but no we're not. Second of all, I am genuinely concerned for her well-being. And finally, you're really starting to get on my nerves, so do like she says and get lost now." Kevin said.

This apparently worked, because Tony found himself backing away from Kevin. Scott and Jeff stood on either side of Kevin and watched Tony back off of the property. Liz was right in front of them, watching him go. She took a step forward, intending to go after Tony, but Kevin put his hand on her shoulder. "Let him go." He said. Feeling defeated, she didn't object to his suggestion. Once Tony left, Liz turned around and apologized for leaving the party.

"Forget about it. Let's go have fun." Jeff said. He took her hand and led her back inside, deciding to start a conversation with her to get her mind off of her old boyfriend.

Kevin and Scott remained outside for a moment. They wanted to talk. "Why are you so concerned about this guy?" Scott asked. Kevin told his friend all about Liz and what she'd gone through with Tony and he told him about what Liz had said to her friends about him.

"So, she said she wished you were her father? That's sweet. What the hell is this guy doing in Florida anyway?" Scott asked. "He came looking for her. He's that much of a jerk. He wants her back so he can ruin her life some more." Kevin said. "Well, he won't be getting that opportunity now." Scott retorted. "Now that the big bad wolf is around." He added. Kevin laughed at his friend's comment as they went back inside together.

"Everything okay?" Bobbi asked. "Yeah, we were talking." Kevin said as he glanced in Liz's direction. She was vulnerable and Kevin knew that Tony had done that to her. He wasn't about to let the man do it again and if it meant coming around everyday to make sure she wasn't with Tony, then he'd be willing to make the sacrifice.

He realized that Liz wasn't the only one with problems though. Some of the other ladies had suffered as well and Kevin realized that he was the reason that they'd all come together to start a new life and he wanted to give them the hope and the comfort they longed to feel. He believed in fate and felt that fate had brought them all together and he wasn't going to let anything tear them apart.

Tony started following Liz everywhere. She felt smothered, but she didn't tell her friends about it. She didn't want them to worry about her. Besides, he wasn't doing anything and Liz didn't think that he would. She ignored him mostly, but she ran into him one afternoon and ended up walking with him for a while. She didn't get home until late, so everyone asked where she had been, but Liz didn't mention Tony.

Bobbi was recuperating from the accident, so she wasn't in a great mood. Her friends kept her company and they found fun things to do to keep her busy, so she didn't have time to think about anything that would bring her down.

Reesy was hoping to meet Scott Hall since Kevin was coming around so much. Liz knew that her friend wanted to meet Scott. They all had a deep love for both men, but Liz knew how strongly Reesy felt about Scott, while her friend Christy admired Shawn Michaels. Liz knew she couldn't come outright and tell Kevin about this, but she decided to let him a little hint.

She wrote a note, just a little something scribbled on paper, but she didn't sign it and she didn't address it to Kevin. But, she did put it where she knew he'd find it. She decided that playing matchmaker would be fun. Since both men lived in Florida, Liz knew it would be easy too.

While she was trying to brighten up her friends' lives, Liz's predicament with Tony was getting worse. He kept approaching her whenever he saw her now, because she had taken that walk with him. And Liz found it hard to say no to the man. She never told her friends what was going on though.

Kevin found Liz's note, but he didn't know it had come from her. When he saw what it said, he smiled to himself. Reesy had been around the night Scott had come over with Kevin, but she hadn't met him because she was busy doing something.

Kevin decided to invite Scott and Shawn over to his house. Then he called all the ladies and invited them over too. Everyone, but Liz agreed to join him at his house for the night. When Kevin realized that Liz hadn't come, he asked where she was.

"We don't know. She's been going out a lot, but she doesn't say where she goes or what she does." Kontara admitted. This worried Kevin a little because he knew that Tony was in Florida. "Call her." Bobbi suggested, so Kevin took his cell phone out and called Liz.

"Hi." Liz said, realizing it was Kevin. "Where are you?" He asked. Liz hesitated for a moment. Why was he asking her that? He rarely ever called her and now he wanted to know where she was. That wasn't the norm with Kevin. "I'm out right now." Liz answered. "Out where?" Kevin asked. Liz glanced at Tony who was watching her. She could tell that he wanted to know who she was on the phone with.

Kevin could tell that Liz was avoiding giving him an answer. "Everyone's at my house right now. I was wondering why you weren't here." He explained. "Oh, well I decided to do a little shopping." Liz said. "Will you be much longer?" Kevin asked. "Actually, I'm not in Tampa." Liz admitted. "Where are you?" Kevin asked. "Orlando." Liz said. "How'd you get there?" Kevin asked. He was certainly asking a lot of questions, but he knew that Liz didn't drive, so he was sure now that Tony had picked her up.

"I caught a ride with someone." Liz explained. Now Kevin was curious. Had she really caught a ride or had Tony taken her? "With who?" Kevin asked. Liz found herself getting annoyed. He was treating her like a child. "Why are you asking all these questions?" She asked. She tried to come off sounding amused, but Kevin could tell that she tense.

"I'm concerned, that's all." He assured her. "Well, I just caught a ride with someone going that way." Liz said. "You went to Orlando with a complete stranger?" Kevin asked. He was surprised that Liz would do something like this. She usually was more cautious than that. "Yeah, it's no big deal." Liz insisted. "How are you getting home?" He asked. Now Liz was worried. How would she explain this? "Uh...I'll hitch another ride, I guess." She said. "Nonsense, I'll come and get you." Kevin offered.

Liz frowned as she looked over at Tony. "Okay, I guess if you don't mind." She said. Now Kevin wondered if she really had met Tony. He had assumed that she would refuse the offer, but she had accepted. He promised to be there as soon as he could and hung up. "What is she doing in Orlando?" Christy asked. "She said she went there to shop." Kevin replied. He apologized for leaving and promised to be back in a while.

Scott entertained everyone while his friend went to pick Liz up. Kevin had told him about Reesy, so he made an effort to give her a little extra attention and no one missed this, especially Reesy. She wondered if someone had something to him about her feelings, but she couldn't be sure.

Liz tried to find a way to get rid of Tony, but he insisted on hanging around. She knew that Kevin would be mad if he saw her with Tony. "Look, Kevin's picking me up. You have to go." She said. "Why? What's the big deal? And why is he picking you up? I could have taken you home." Tony said. "I know, but I don't know...Kevin was worried, I guess." Liz said. "What the hell is he bothering with you for?" Tony demanded. She realized he was getting angry and found herself getting frustrated.

"Look, just go. I'll call you or something." She said. "He doesn't own you." Tony argued. "He's my friend." Liz snapped. "That doesn't mean he can tell you who to talk to you." Tony said. "Do you want to tell him that?" Liz asked. "You tell him." Tony argued. Liz groaned when she realized that he didn't want to leave. "Please, just go." She shouted. "Why?" Tony asked. Liz knew that Kevin would be there soon and she wanted to get away from Tony. She started shopping for clothes since she realized that she hadn't bought anything.

Tony was confused when he saw her shopping. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Buying stuff." Liz grumbled. "Why?" Tony asked. Liz whirled around and almost hit him. "Because, I told Kevin that I'd gone shopping." She said. He almost laughed when he heard her. "You're afraid of him?" He asked. "No, but I don't want him to know I lied to him." Liz retorted.

Kevin pulled into the mall parking lot and parked his car. He got out and looked around. Liz hadn't said where she'd be exactly and the mall was big. He called her to find out where she was. "Hey, I'm in the mall. Where are you?" He asked. "I'm at Leslie's." Liz replied. "Are you done shopping?" Kevin asked. "Sort of. I'm almost done." She said. "Well, I'll come and get you then." Kevin said. He got back into his car and drove to the other side of the mall to park there.

[Lil Wolf]

"Go now." Liz shouted. "Oh, is he here now?" Tony asked. Liz finished paying for her things and went to the store next door. It was a music store. She bought a few cds and left the store. That's when she spotted Kevin making his way towards her. "Please, go." She said to Tony who was right beside her. "Look, you can do what you want. Don't let that loser tell you what to do." Tony insisted. "Hi." Liz said when Kevin reached her. He noticed Tony, but he ignored the man. "Done?" He asked. Liz nodded and followed him. "Hey." Tony called. Kevin stopped and turned around.

"You want something?" He asked. Tony ignored Kevin, but he walked over to Liz. "You're gonna leave without saying goodbye?" Tony asked. "I told you to leave." Liz said. "But we..." Tony began. "You heard her. Get lost." Kevin shouted. Tony backed off and Liz followed Kevin to his car.

"I thought you said you hitched a ride." Kevin said as they got in the car. "Well, technically I did." Liz said, half smiling, but Kevin wasn't smiling. "You lied to me." He said. "I'm really sorry." She muttered. "Forget it. What are you doing with him anyway?" Kevin asked. Liz shrugged. She didn't know what she was doing with Tony.

"Is he bothering you?" Kevin asked, reading her thoughts. Liz laughed. "You always seem to know what I'm thinking." She said. "Yeah, I'm good at reading people." Kevin admitted, smiling at her now. Liz told him about Tony following her around and admitted that she'd been spending time with him.

"You know, your friends worry about you and so do I. He's a loser and you deserve better." Kevin said. Liz nodded, but she didn't say anything. "Let me introduce you to someone tonight. I know you'll like him and you might even hit it off. He's a lot like you." Kevin said. "Who is it?" Liz asked. "You'll see." Kevin retorted. "Why do I get the feeling that I know this person?" Liz asked. Kevin smiled. "Because, you do." He retorted.

Kevin pulled up in front of his house and watched Liz get out of the car. He followed her inside and was glad to see that his other friend had arrived. "Liz, where were you?" Bobbi asked. Liz told everyone about Tony. "Well, I'm glad you're here now. Let's have some fun." Reesy said.

Kevin pulled Sean aside and spoke to him for a minute. Then he grabbed Liz and led her to the kitchen. "Wait right here." He said. Liz was a little confused, but she realized what Kevin was up to when he brought Sean into the kitchen. "Sean, I'd like you to meet Liz." Kevin said. "Hi, nice to meet you." Sean told her. Liz smiled at him. "No introduction is needed." She assured Kevin. This brought a smile to Sean's face. Kevin left them alone to talk.

"What're you up to?" Scott asked when Kevin joined him in the living room again. "I thought I'd let Kid meet Liz. They're in the kitchen talking." Kevin admitted. "Good idea. I'll bet he keeps her happy." Scott agreed. "She needs someone to take her mind off of that loser." Christy said. "And do you need someone to take your mind off of something?" Shawn asked her. "No, but I still need someone." Christy replied. Shawn smiled when he heard her.

"So, Kevin tells me you’re a web designer." Sean commented. "Yeah, I do most of my work from home. It's a lot of fun really." Liz said. "Maybe you could collaborate with Connie. She runs my site." Sean said. "I don't know. I think your site is great." Liz admitted. "Oh, so you've seen it then?" Sean asked. "Of course. I've been there many times." She replied.

Sean and Liz were in the kitchen for a while. Kevin finally went to check on them and convinced them to join the others, so they did. "Having fun now?" Kontara asked. Liz nodded and smiled at Sean. Kevin and Scott winked at him. They could tell he was happy to have met Liz.

While everyone got comfortable with one another, Kevin devoted his time to giving Bobbi his undivided attention. And she was thrilled to have it. The pair talked for hours about everything and Kevin managed to keep her entertained. He whisked her away to the yard for some one on one quality time, but no one seemed to notice. They were busy talking to Shawn, Scott, and Marcus Bagwell, who had joined the little party.

Sean asked Liz to take a walk. She agreed to, so they left the house and walked around for a while. Liz was having a great time until she realized that she was being followed again. She started getting nervous, but Sean didn't notice at first. He kept her talking, wanting to know everything about her. Finally, he noticed that she was only half listening to him. "Is something wrong?" He asked.

Sean turned and looked behind him. That's when he noticed someone following them. "Is that your ex?" He asked. Liz nodded and Sean finally realized that she was upset. He stopped walking and turned around. Liz grabbed his hand, but Sean refused to move. "Hey pal, get lost." He called to the man who was still a distance from them.

Liz saw Tony approaching and tugged on Sean's hand. "Relax, I'll handle this." Sean assured her. But that's exactly what she was afraid of. "What the hell are you following us for?" Sean asked when Tony got closer. "I'm just keeping an eye on my girl." Tony replied. "First of all, she's not your girl. In case you've forgotten, she left you. And secondly, I'm with her right now and you're annoying me and upsetting her, so get lost before you get hurt." Sean warned him.

Back at the house, Kevin and Bobbi came in and noticed that Liz and Sean were missing, but no one knew where they'd gone. Jeff Jarrett had joined the party at some point, so he and Kevin talked for a while. "So, are you and Kev...you know..." Reesy asked Bobbi. "I don't know. We just talked for a while, but he's really sweet." Bobbi admitted. "Well, we all know that." Reesy replied, smiling at her friend. Bobbi nodded and looked over at Kevin who immediately winked at her to let her know that he hadn't forgotten that she was there.

"Why don't I join you?" Tony suggested. "Why don't you get out of my face." Sean retorted. Liz tugged on his hand again, but Sean wouldn't budge. He wasn't going to let some punk ruin their night. "Get lost now." He shouted, but Tony didn't move. Sean let go of Liz's hand and threw the first punch, hitting Tony in the mouth. Liz backed away when she saw the men starting to fight.

Sean, being a wrestler and having worked out many times was stronger than Tony and he beat the man to the ground. When he saw that Tony wasn't trying to get up, he turned to Liz and grabbed her hand. "Let's get out of here." He said. She nodded and let him whisk her away. "I'm sorry about that." Sean said. "It's okay." Liz replied. "It is? Really?" Sean asked. "Yeah, I don't blame you. I really kind of wish he'd leave me alone. I mean, he's not that bad, but I left him because I wanted to start over. He's making it hard." Liz said.

When they got back to Kevin's, Scott noticed Sean's eye. "What happened?" He asked, getting everyone's attention. "Nothing, man." Sean said. "Were you fighting, Kid?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, I ran into Tony." Sean said. "He did that to you?" Scott asked. "Don't worry about it, Scotty. I beat him good." Sean said. Kevin smirked when he heard that. "Are you okay?" He asked Liz. She nodded and smiled at him, letting him know that everything was fine.

"Come on, let's go get a beer." Sean said, pulling Liz toward the kitchen. "Well, he obviously likes her." Reesy said. "A lot." Christy added. "I like you." Shawn told her. "I like you too." Christy replied, smiling playfully at the man. Shawn found her amusing and decided to take a chance, even if his friends were around. When he kissed her, he was happy that she returned the kiss. No one said a word before or after that kiss, but Christy was happy that he'd done it.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Sean asked. "Yeah, fine. I promise." She said, smiling as he handed her a beer. Sean leaned against the counter, so Liz stood beside him. "I really like hanging out with you. You're fun to be around." Liz said. "So, does that mean you'd like to hang out more often?" Sean asked. "Sure." Liz replied. Sean put his beer down and moved to stand in front of her. "How about hanging out tomorrow night. Just me and you...I'll take you out." He offered. Liz nodded and smiled.

Sean moved closer. "We can go to dinner...maybe see a movie...or maybe we could just go for a walk." He suggested. "Or you could come over and I could cook dinner for you." Liz offered. "Yeah, we could do that." Sean said. He was just inches from her face now and Liz started feeling a little tense. When Sean put his hands on her hips, she tensed, but he didn't back off. "And after dinner, I'll take you for a walk. There's a nice park nearby." He commented. Kevin had told her where she lived.

"It's dark in the park at night." Liz commented. "Exactly...we'll have privacy." Sean said. Liz nodded. He leaned even closer and finally brought his lips to hers. When he realized she wasn't going to stop him, he put his arms around her and kissed her, letting the kiss linger for a while.

Jeff walked into the kitchen and stopped when he saw Sean and Liz. He turned around and left immediately to give them some privacy. "Where's the beer?" Kevin asked. "I didn't get it." Jeff admitted. "Why not?" Scott asked. Liz and Sean are making out in the kitchen. I didn't want to interrupt them." Jeff explained. Kevin laughed as he stood up. He went to get the beer and found the couple quietly staring at one another and knew that he'd done the right thing. Introducing Sean to Liz had the results he'd been expecting.

"Hey you two, are you gonna hang out in here all night?" He asked, getting their attention. Liz blushed and Sean smiled. "Nah, we're coming out now." Sean said. Kevin tossed his friend two beers and left the kitchen with several more. Sean and Liz followed him.

The following morning, Liz heard someone banging on the door. Most of the girls had stayed at Kevin's for the night. Liz had opted to go home. Kevin wasn't crazy about it, but he let her go. Sean had taken her home, but he hadn't gone inside. He promised to see her the following night.

When Liz answered the door, she saw Tony standing there looking madder than hell. "What do you want?" She asked, feeling tense suddenly. "What the hell were you doing with that punk? He's going to be sorry for messing with me." Tony said. Liz didn't move to let him in, but Tony shoved past her and entered the house. "I thought you and I were working things out." He commented. "I never said that." Liz argued. "So why were you spending time with me?" He asked. "Because, you won't go away." Liz admitted. This made him angrier.

When the phone rang, Liz ignored the way Tony was looking at her and went to answer it. "Hey, I wanted to make sure you were okay." Kevin said. "I'm fine, Kev." Liz promised. "Why the hell is he calling you all the time?" Tony demanded. "Is that Sean?" Kevin asked. "No." Liz said. "That punk is over there?" Kevin asked. "It's okay..." Liz tried, but Kevin told her that he was coming over. He hung up before she could argue.

"Great, he's coming over now." Liz grumbled. "Why are you letting him interfere in your life?" Tony asked. "Look, I once told a few people that I wished Kevin was my father. He found out about it." Liz said. "So what, he's trying to play daddy now?" Tony asked. "I don't know. He's concerned." Liz admitted. "I'm not a bad guy." Tony argued. "You've hit me before." She reminded him. "Yeah, and I told you that I was sorry." Tony insisted. "I don't want to be hit." Liz snapped.

Kevin showed up twenty minutes later. Scott and Jeff were with him. "Get out." Scott told Tony as soon as they got inside. "This isn't your house." Tony argued. "No it's not, but it is Liz's house and she doesn't want you here." Kevin said. "Let her tell me that." Tony retorted. Kevin looked at Liz and saw her staring at him. "Just go." She finally said. "Don't listen to him." Tony argued. "I'm not. Well I am, but I'm listening to myself too. Now, go. I don't want you here. Just go back to Philadelphia. We're through." Liz said.

"You heard her, punk. Now get out." Scott said. He shoved Tony out the door and slammed it in his face. "What did he want?" Jeff asked. "He threatened Sean. He was mad about what Sean did to him last night." Liz said. "Don't worry, he won't touch Kid. And Kid can take care of himself." Kevin said. Liz nodded and sighed. "Are you okay?" Scott asked. "Tired, really. I didn't get much sleep." She admitted. "Worried about something?" Jeff asked. "No, I was just thinking last night." She replied. This brought a smile to Kevin's face. She'd been thinking about Sean. He realized that Liz really liked him.

Later that night, Sean showed up for dinner. The ladies had all gone out so that Liz could be alone with him. She'd made a nice dinner for him and the two sat together in the kitchen eating and talking. "So, wanna take that walk?" He asked. Liz shook her head. "I was hoping you'd stay here with me." She said. She took his hand and led him to the living room. Sean took the lead and led her over to the couch. When he sat down, Liz sat beside him, so he pulled her closer. "This is nice." Sean said. Liz nodded. He tilted her face towards his and kissed her again. Liz forgot all about Tony that night and let Sean take control for a change. She didn't feel like being strong, so she let her vulnerability show for a change.

When Liz got together with her friends again, they mentioned Sean. Liz admitted that she’d fallen for him and her friends were relieved. “So, this means no more Tony, right?” Kontara asked. “No more Tony.” Liz said. Bobbi felt like calling Kevin to share the good news, but Sean had already told him, so he wasn’t surprised. Bobbi was though when he asked her to go out on a date. She quickly accepted and the couple had dinner that night.

After everything that had happened the two people with the most trouble had worked it all out and the Kliq Sisters were happy for a change. They decided that nothing would ever come between them and together, they would live life to the fullest, making the most of each and every day.
