| After winning the match, Rob Van Dam came behind the curtain and went down the steps and out back. He was followed by Eddie Guerrero. Matt and Amy ran up the steps, to wish Ryann and Jeff luck. The announcer came onto the microphone, and said, �This match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring�� and then the Hardyz entrance came on, and Jeff kissed Ryann real quick and ran out onto the stage. You could see his arms and face glowing from the black light. ��Weighing in at 218 pounds, from Cameron, North Carolina, Jeff Hardy!� The crowd went wild as Jeff made his way to the ring. He jumped onto the second rope in the corner of the ring, and threw his arms out to the sides, like he always does. Then he started to nod his head to the beat of his music. He jumped down, went to the opposite corner, and did the same. When he jumped down from that corner, the lights came up. �And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Tough Enough Three co-champion, Ryann Kensington, weighing in at 246 pounds, Tough Enough Three co-champion, Brady Chamberlain!� The crowd started to cheer as the Tough Enough music played and Brady and Ryann made their way to the ring. Brady immediately jumped into the ring, and on to the second rope, raising his hands into the air. Ryann walked up the steps and entered the ring. She stood in the middle, and raised her arms in the air. This was the first time she had realized just how many people there were. Her adrenaline started to flow, and she started to get real excited. She stepped out of the ring, and walked back down the steps and was watching from the floor, cheering Brady on. The match started with Brady and Jeff locking up in the center of the ring. Brady got Jeff into a headlock, but Jeff broke out of it real quick. Jeff sent Brady flying into the ropes, but on his return, Brady kicked Jeff in the face and he fell down. From there through most of the match, Brady remained in control. At one point, Brady gave Jeff a super-plex off the top rope, and Jeff lay in pain on the mat. Brady was gloating to the crowd, who was cheering him on. Brady was in the process of climbing to the top rope, while the referee wasn�t paying attention, because he was talking to Jeff. Ryann climbed up the side of the ring, and pushed Brady off the ropes and onto the floor in front of the announcer�s table. Jeff saw what she had done and kept the referee occupied. Ryann jumped off the mat and gave Brady a leg drop. She got up, picked up Brady and shoved him into the ring. Jeff had gotten up by this point, so he gave Brady a body slam. Jeff then climbed to the top rope and put his arms out and gave Brady a Swanton Bomb. Jeff crawled on top of Brady and hooked his leg. The referee counted, �One, two, three.� The bell rang and Jeff got up. The referee raised Jeff arm in victory, then Jeff dropped and rolled out of the ring, where he met Ryann. He took her hand and they walked to the top of the stage and turned around, facing the crowd and the ring. Jeff and Ryann raised their hands in victory, then Jeff pulled Ryann into his arms and he kissed her, right there, in front of thirty thousand people. After their embrace, they exited the stage and walked out back. Ryann and Jeff went to the Amy�s dressing room, where Matt and Amy were waiting. After Matt and Amy congratulated them on their win, Jeff went to take a shower, and Ryann went to her dressing room to change. They all met up an hour later, after Matt and Amy�s victorious inter-gender match with Bubba Ray Dudley and Trish Stratus. They were getting ready to leave and go back to their hotel when someone knocked on the door. Matt went over to answer it. He opened the door and there stood Vince McMahon. Matt invited him in, and Vince walked in. �Congratulations Ryann. You looked great out there, and the crowd loved you.� �Thank you Mr. McMahon.� Ryann said. �Oh, please call me Vince. We�ll be looking forward to seeing a lot more of you around. So are you happy with the storyline so far?� �Yes, I am real excited to see where it goes.� �Well trust me, I think the four of you are going to enjoy where this is going. I will let you all head out, but I just wanted to welcome you Ryann.� Vince said. �Thank you so much for this opportunity Vince. I won�t let you down.� Vince shook hands with Ryann, and then he left. Matt, Amy, Ryann and Jeff all went to the parking lot, put their things in the car and left the arena and went back to the hotel. When they arrived at the hotel, they all changed into swimsuits and went down to the jacuzzi to relax. They were talking about the show and how the script was going when Jeff said, �So, now that you are my girlfriend on the show, you will need a new look. Not that I don�t think you are beautiful just the way you are Ryann, but I think the fans would love it if you looked...� �What Jeff?� Ryann replied. �More like you?� �Well, yeah.� �I am not dying my hair every color of the rainbow.� Ryann said sternly. Matt chimed in with, �We could call you rainbow�� And both he and Amy started laughing. Amy said, �Skittles�taste the rainbow,� and busted out in laughter again. �It�s perfect.� Matt said. Ryann glared at Matt with a look that would have struck him dead if it could. Jeff said, �Come on Ryann, it would be awesome. You and me going down to the ring with rainbow hair, I would really love it. You wouldn�t even have to dye it for real, we could just use that hair color spray, like they sell at Halloween.� �You are officially part of Team Extreme now.� Matt said. �Both in and outside of WWE.� �I will think about it.� Ryann finally said. �Cool!� Jeff said. He leaned over to Ryann and gave her a kiss. They enjoyed their time in the hot tub, and then Ryann and Jeff went to one room, and Matt and Amy to the other. They went to sleep to get up for their early flight back to North Carolina the next morning. |
