First Day on a Brand New Planet

When Mickie rapidly submitted, Randy nodded in approval and headed back up the way he came, making sure to glance once or twice over his shoulder.

No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No, you'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark

"And the winner of this match, Angel!"

Angel smiled, rushing backstage.

"Randy, out there, why'd you do it?" Angel asked.

"You looked like you needed some support" Randy smiled "Congratulations, by the way, on your win."

Angel nodded.

"Kinda wish it woulda been someone else through," Angel said.

Randy didn't quite understand "Angel, if I embarassed you..." he blushed slightly "I didn't mean to."

"That's not it Randy, not at all," Angel said. "I just kinnda wish it had been my dad out there, you know?"

"Angel you know your dad always supports you." Randy sighed "And you know how he feels about keeping character."

"I haven't seen him all night Randy!" Angel stressed.

"Not at all?" Randy frowned, Shawn was well-known to be supportive of his daughter, so for him not to be waiting backstage... "Did you stop by his locker room?"

"He wasn't there," Angel said, her eyes getting misty. "What if he's hurt?

"You know what, let me go check" Randy smiled encouragingly "I'm sure everything's alright."

Angel simply nodded, she could feel her chest getting tighter.

Cody did a double take when he saw Angel standing by the wall, he'd heard from Randy that Shawn's daughter had joined the roster, but he hadn't introduced himself yet. Now he came over and leaned down in concern,

"Hey" he lisped softly "You okay? You look kinda pale."

Angel's anxiety caused her chest to tighen more, her lungs unable to take in the oxygen her body needed she went into a full anxuety attack before her eyes rolled back and her knees buckled, sending her crashing to the floor.

"Angel!" Cody knelt down and quickly felt for her pulse. It was there but it was very thready,

"Hang on Angel" Cody swept her up into his arms and rushed for the medics "I'm gonna get you help darlin' just hold on!"

Angel didn't respond, her breathing was faint, her heart rate erratic.

"Hey I need some help!" Cody rushed into the medic's area and shouted for attention "She just collapsed a minute ago and she's not breathing very well!"

"My....bag," Angel whispered, slowly coming to.

"What about it?" Cody murmured "Is there something in there you need?"

"My....pills are in there," Angel said.

"Where'd you leave your bag at?" Cody was starting to grow frantic

"The locker room," Angel muttered.

"Alright, Angel, hold on, I'll be right back" Cody left and ran straight for the women's locker room, freezing outside the door,

"Hey girls!" he shouted "Could one of you hand me Angel's bag? She really needs the pills inside. Please girls it's an emergency!!!"

A moment later Eve came out with the bag in her hand and Cody grabbed it, vaguely remembering to shout thank you.

He dashed back to the medic's area, bag in hand "I've got it! What do you need?"

"There's a purple pill case in the......." Angel couldn't finish her sentence before her body went into a seizure.

Cody didn't know how he did it. One minute he was panicking, watching Angel seize, and the next he was digging through her bag, shouting in triumph when he found the purple pill case.

"Here" he handed it to the medics and a few minutes later Angel's body stilled as the medicine began to work.

"Oh thank goodness" Cody grinned and was starting to take Angel's hand when a southern drawl suddenly demanded "Where IS she???" and a very upset Shawn Michaels burst into the room, Randy at his heels.
