After a day full of meet and greets, interviews and photoshoots, it was finally time: time for Summerslam.

I could hear the crowd outside from the locker room. I had just arrived at the arena from the struggle of the mob of fans.

I flung my bag down before leaving the locker room and heading down to where Sandra was.

I walked up to find her next to a mountain load of clothes and a sewing machine. My eyes widened at how much there was.

"Hey Sandra." I said as I approached her slowly, not wanting to waste her time.

"Hey Hun!" She replied, her usual happy self, but I could see bags under her eyes.

"I was just wondering if you've finished my ring gear?" I questioned. I mentally face palmed as I realised how impatient I sounded. "I don't mean it in a bad way, I can see you have your hands full so if it's not finished it's fine."

She laughed and leaned over to pick up something. She sat back up with three bags that you would normally put suits in (if you know what I mean lol).

"There you go baby girl," she said as she handed them over. "Them other two are for your sisters by the way. I done your girls attire first seeing as you and your sisters are my favourite people here."

I grinned. "Thanks Sandra." I glanced back over to the pile of clothes. "Do you want some help with the gear? I have hours until I go on so I'm free until then."

"No no, I've been doing this for almost 10 years. I'll be fine, but thank you for offering honey." Sandra smiled warmly before continuing with her sewing. I whispered a goodbye before walking back to the locker room.

30 minutes before the match

"Nicole hurry up!" I heard Brie yell at my sister. I was standing outside the locker room waiting for them to get ready.

"You guys have like 30 minutes to get ready!" I said loudly so they could hear. I leant against the wall whilst playing with a strand of my hair.

"Hey Dani!" I heard a familiar Irish accent call from further down the hall. I turned to see Fergal walking towards me wearing a button down with jeans and Timberlands.

"Hey Fergie," I said, grinning at my new nickname for him. I stood up straight and crossed my arms.

"You waiting for someone?" He asked, gesturing towards the door. I nodded.

"Yeah, my sisters. The match is in, like, 30 minutes, and here they are still getting ready."

"I heard that!" I heard Nicole call out from the locker room. We both laughed.

"You excited for the match?" He asked.

"Yeah, but nervous. I've been worried about this dropkick I've got to do because I can't get it right. I've been freaking out a bit." I replied truthfully, biting my bottom lip; something I always do when I'm nervous.

"Don't be; just keep your legs together and point your toes so it had a bigger impact on your opponent." Fergal used gestures to explain what he was saying.

Suddenly, Nikki and Brie emerged from the locker room in their ring attire. "Let's go," Brie said as her and Nikki began walking off.

"See you after the match." Fergal said before walking off in the direction of catering.

"You can look, but you can't touch. You keep dreaming on the stars above..."

We were the last team to walk out. We done our usual entrance before flipping over the ropes and landing in the ring and pointing out to the crowd.

We all stood in our corners. Naomi and Paige were starting things off for the teams. Myself, Brie and Nikki stood on the apron as the bell rang and the match began.

Fergals POV

It's about halfway through the match, and all the women who were legal in the match were on the mat, all crawling to there team mates. The only ones up right now were Charlotte and Dani. Team BAD had been eliminated.

Brie made the tag at the same time Becky. I watched as Dani entered the ring and dodged Becky's clothesline before bouncing off the ropes and grabbing her hair and pulling her down to the mat. Dani climbed the middle rope and performed a frog splash to her. She went for the pin on Becky, but Charlotte broke it up. All the women entered the ring, attacking Dani mainly whilst Nikki and Brie tried desperately to help her.

Dani's POV

Even though it was part of the match, I couldn't help but get frustrated over everyone attacking me. Luckily Nikki and Brie managed to distract the others whilst I climbed to the top rope.

Legs together and toes pointed...

Fergals words played through in my mind as I gained momentum for the dropkick. I motioned for Nikki and Brie to get out the way before performing a dropkick to the members of Team PCB.

I had to pretend to be hurt, so whilst holding my side I went and tagged in Brie. She rolled Paige and Charlotte out the ring before picking Becky up and performing the Bella Buster before going for the pin.

3!

The bell rang, and the Bella music played through the speakers. We celebrated in the ring and headed back to the gorilla.

Everyone applauded as we entered. I jokingly curtsied, along with my sisters.

"Do you wanna head out for a drink later?" Nikki asked before entering the locker room.

"Sure," I said as I began to undress. "You coming Brie?"

"Obviously," she said as she threw on her sweat top. "I guess tonight Brie Mode will be activated!"

We dropped off our ring gear with Sandra before walking out to the car park.

I walked slightly slowly than Nikki and Brie as I was on my phone. I suddenly felt a hand touch my shoulder from behind.

I turned around quickly to find Fergal standing there, smiling. He leant closer.

"That was the best dropkick I've seen in a while. Well done, lass." He whispered before walking away to his car.

That simple sentence somehow sent shivers down my spine.
