A/N: So, I couldn't resist doing something more with Tahni. I love her too much. I dunno how long this will go one for, it's just a bit of fun, so I hope you guys enjoy it :D

"Say that again, I dare you!"

"Did you not hear the first time? Okay, let me slow this down for you, baby cakes; You…suuuuuuuuuuuck!" The capacity crowd screamed their approval and stamped their feet, whilst the Bella twins looked absolutely furious at the insult. Nikki screamed unintelligibly, whilst Brie just opened and closed her mouth, the microphone still held up to it, but no sound coming out. That was okay, because the electric blue haired, pixie like woman on the other side of the ring didn't seem to be done yet. She grinned at the impishly. "Oh, come on, girls. You didn't really think you were here because you had wrestling talent, did you? Oh…you did? Whoops. Hate to burst that bubble for you, but hell, I guess you got plenty spare in the space where your brains should be. No, ladies, there are only four reasons you got into this company." She made a point of motioning to their chests. "And let's face it, they're not even that impressive."

Nikki snatched the microphone off her sister and chose this moment to throw it at the other woman's head, but she moved out of the way, dropping her own mic before launching herself at the twins and taking them both down with a double-clothesline. Both girls rolled quickly out of the ring, unprepared for being assaulted and humiliated by the tiny diva.

Tahni Cauldwell watched them go, with a smirk on her face. She blew them a kiss, before looking at the audience, grinning and then leaving the ring. When she got backstage, she looked at the twins, who were waiting for her and sent them a curt nod. The three of them did not really get along. Tahni didn't really get along with most of the women in the locker room, but that was okay because she had some pretty awesome friends anyway. "Glenny!" Tahni took a running jump at the back of the man who had become her closest friend in the business. Glenn Jacobs would be very unlikely to take this kind of behaviour from anyone else, but he'd grown used to it and caught her as she clambered onto him, shifting her up into a more comfortable position so she could hook her arms around his neck. "Where to?"

"I'm starved, so catering!"

"You're always starved."

"I know." Tahni said mournfully, letting out a heavy sigh and dropping her head onto the big man's shoulder. Glenn snorted and shook his head, ambling off down the corridor. The sight of Glenn giving a piggyback to the tiny diva should have been perplexing to everyone they passed, but they barely got a glance these days. Tahni noticed and pouted. "Hey, Glenn."

"Yeah, T?"

"I think people are bored of us."

"What?"

"No-one gets surprised anymore."

"Well, we've been friends for a while now, T."

"We should have a fight."

"A fight?"

"Are you deaf? Yes, a fight."

"Why?"

"Because then people will be surprised."

"We never fight."

"We always fight!"

"No, we don't."

"Yes, we do."

"Don't."

"Do."

"Don't."

"We're doing it right now!"

"No, we aren't."

"Yes, we are."

"Aren't."

"Are."

"Aren't."

"Are."

By now, they had entered the catering area and their bickering was indeed drawing quite a bit of attention, which only seemed to encourage Tahni to become even more obnoxious. "Hey, Glenn."

"What?"

"You have a really big bald patch." She leaned back as if to scrutinise the back of his head, which causing him to dump her unceremoniously on the floor. She tottered a little and almost fell, squeaking in alarm. A strong set of arms caught her by the waist and steadied her. She turned, lifting her eyebrows and grinning as her gaze locked onto a pair of steel blue eyes. "Thanks."

"Have you been being annoying again, T?"

"Me? Never!" Glenn made a disbelieving noise and Tahni aimed a kick at the back of his leg, which only resulted in her howling in pain. "Ow! Damn you and your titanium legs! For this travesty, I demand that you buy me cake! Lots and lots of cake!"

"You don't even like cake."

"Not the point! Buy me cake!" Glenn rolled his eyes and Tahni turned her full attention back to the man in front of her. She let her eyes travel slowly from his feet upwards, relishing every part of him, from the strong, denim clad thighs to the heavily tattooed arms. When her eyes met his, he looked very amused, "See something you like?"

"Nah, I like my man to have an ass." She smirked mischievously and saw Randy's eyes narrow in response. He crossed the short space between them, grabbing both of her hands and crossing them behind her back. "I've warned you about that."

"So you have." Tahni didn't sound in the least repentant and she certainly wasn't fighting against his hold on her hands. Randy bared his teeth at her, "You're obnoxious."

"So are you."

"I'm allowed to be, it's part of my gimmick."

"Oh, is having no ass part of your gimmick too?"

"Watch it, Imp."

"How am I supposed to, assclown? It's not there." Tahni's voice turned sing-song and she tilted her head a little, smiling innocently. Randy opened his mouth to reply, but Glenn's voice cut across him. "When you two are done being disgusting and doing your version of a PDA, I would like to eat sometime this evening." Tahni leaned back and turned her head to look at Glenn, then at the tray in his hands. "You didn't buy me cake."

"T, if I bought you cake, you'd have pushed Randy's face in it, then blamed it on me for buying something you don't like." Tahni gasped as if this suggestion was completely outrageous. She looked at Randy for support, but he just shrugged and she quickly deflated, giving in. "Yeah, I know." The three of them traipsed over to one of the empty tables and sat down. Randy draped his arm over Tahni's shoulders, but she slapped it away. He jerked it back towards him looking injured. "I know your game, Orton. My fries." Randy widened his eyes in an attempt to look innocent, but Tahni just shook her head. "No. You're on an all meat diet for the next three days. Doctor's orders."

"Screw the doctor."

"Well, he is hot. So, if you want me to, Randy, I will make that sacrifice."

"Don't you dare." Randy growled at her. Glenn rolled his eyes at them, stabbing his fork into his pile of fries. "Tahni, what have I told you about annoying Randy?"

Tahni looked at him and sighed, "Not to do it, because you don't want me sleeping on your couch."

"Uh-huh and why don't I want you sleeping on my couch?"

"Because I talk in my sleep."

"You were talking in your sleep last night actually." Randy mused, thoughtfully, stealing a handful of fries off Tahni's plate whilst she attempted to beat him to death with a plastic fork. He continued undeterred, "You were calling out Ted's name. Should I be worried?"

Tahni grinned and shrugged, "Yes. I'm having a torrid affair with him. We get together on Sundays nights and worship your underpants. It's brought us together." Randy and Glenn both stopped eating and just stared at her, but she ignored them, brutally stabbing her salad leaves with her fork.

"DiBiase!"

"Cauldwell!"

"'Sup?"

"'Sup."

"How cool are we?"

"So cool."

"Ew, Maryse is looking at you like she's going to start gnawing on your leg."

"Yeah…I think she's mistaken me for a frog."

"Dude, that's racist."

"How?"

"'Cause…it is."

"The French eat frog's legs, right?"

"Well, yeah…"

"Then it's not racist, it's an observation." They both fell silent, just contemplating the conversation they'd just had. In the mean time, Maryse sidled over to them and tapped Ted lightly on the shoulder, "I'm really looking forward to our match tonight, Teddy Bear." Tahni gagged quietly and Ted frowned, "Don't call me that. Not ever. Ever." Maryse opened her mouth to speak, but Ted held up a finger and whispered, "Ever." Maryse pouted and walked away, at which point Tahni burst out in giggles, before sobering and looking thoughtful. "Isn't your wife here tonight?"

Ted nodded, looking anxious. This storyline already had him in the doghouse at home. He wouldn't put it past his wife to jump the barrier and pound the living crap out of Maryse in front of the entire arena. He would have to get his father to restrain her. Just in case. Not that it was Maryse's safety he was worried about. He'd been on the receiving end of his better half's temper and it hurt. A lot.

"You're thinking about it, aren't ya?" Tahni enquired gleefully. Ted nodded and she smirked, "You hate me right now, don't ya?" He nodded again and Tahni bounced up to kiss his cheek, before wandering off. She had gotten about thirty yards down the corridor before she smacked into something hard and large. She stumbled back and then looked up, her eyes widening in alarm. "Um…sorry."

"Cauldwell." Mark's voice made the long journey down to her and she let out a small squeak in response. Didn't matter how long she knew him or how often she saw him, he still frightened the absolute living daylights out of her. Mark just looked at her as if he were expecting her to do something, but she simply stood there like a deer in the headlights, so he spoke again, "How are things?"

It was quite possibly the most normal thing Tahni had ever heard him say and it stuck her completely dumb for several more seconds. This annoyed Mark to the point where he felt the need to suddenly jerk towards her and shout, "Boo!" Tahni promptly screamed as if she were being gutted and ran off down the corridor with her arms flailing in the air.

"Okay, here's the deal, Cauldwell. We're gonna run this line for a couple more months, leading up to 'Mania and then it'll end, but, you have got to stop screaming when you're backstage. It got picked up on the backstage mics last week and freaked all the fans out! Stop screaming or I'm going to end your push right here." Vince looked at Tahni with a hard gaze and she had the grace to look apologetic. It wasn't like she did it on purpose. It just kinda happened. Like an involuntary explosion of noise. It was hard to believe that someone so small could make so much noise.

She traipsed out of the meeting and looked sadly at Randy who was waiting for her. He immediately approached and put his arms around her, "What happened?"

"He said I have to stop screaming."

"Aw, sweetie, that's okay, I'm su- Wait, what?" Randy leaned back and looked at her. She lifted her eyes to his, still looking very sad and sighed heavily. "I'm not allowed to scream when I'm backstage anymore or they're going to end my push."

Randy took a couple of seconds to bite on the insides of his lips, to force himself not to smile, "I see." He forced the two words out with difficulty and then nodded. Tahni narrowed her eyes suspiciously, so he just pulled her into a tight hug so she couldn't see the grin which had spread across his face. She was insane. Completely and utterly insane and for some bizarre reason, he absolutely adored that about her. There wasn't a single part of her that he would change. Not even how much they had hated one another when they'd first met, not even one of the many arguments they had had in those first months when they couldn't even stand to be around one another.

Tahni sniffled slightly and Randy pulled out of the hug and put an arm around her shoulders, "Want to go to Cracker Barrel to cheer you up?"

"Can we take Glenny?" She asked hopefully and Randy lifted an eyebrow at her, "Is he like your pet or something?"

"Precisely. Just don't tell him that."

"Why not?"

"He thinks he's people." Randy couldn't help but burst out laughing and he nodded, leading her away from Vince's office and out of the building.
