Chapter 1
Five months had passed since Willows triumphant return to the ring. Matt and she were stronger than ever, Amy returned to the ring less a year after giving birth to Nevaeh, who had just started to walk. Trish and Jeff had just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Willow was women's champion, having defeated Ivory on Smackdown. Matt had lost the Hardcore Championship to Chris Benoit, but he and Jeff regained the Tag Team titles not long after. Willow had received a few letters from Eric in prison, but she always labelled them return to sender as she didn't want anything to do with him. He had ruined too many lives and he had put her through hell that last year. She still had scars on her body from where Eric had tortured her for seven months.
Christmas was definitely in the air, and for the first time in what felt like forever to her, she was excited about something. She and Matt had decorated the house from top to bottom with Matt taking a bit longer to hang the mistletoe, kissing Willow at every chance he got, his excuse was that he had seven months of kissing to make up for. The snow had begun to fall and already it was lying on the ground.
Willow was at Amy's house with Trish getting ready for the annual WWE Christmas party. Amy's mom Christie, her grandmother had travelled up from Atlanta to spend Christmas with her daughter, Willow and Nevaeh and was on babysitting duty tonight. "Oh Willow, you really do look so much like Amy" Christie said, hugging her eldest granddaughter "we have so much to talk about. How are your parents? Are you dating anyone?" "My parents died a while back, car crash. At least I got to see them before they died. I'm dating Matt" Willow replied "Matt Hardy?" Christie blurted out, shocked that Matt was still in her family "Yes Matt Hardy. I love him" she replied, but before Christie could reply, Amy and Trish entered the room, taking the attention off her and she couldn't help but feel relieved by their timing. "Oh look at all three of you. You all so beautiful, let me get a photo of all of you." Christie gushed, taking out her camera and making Amy blush. "Now go have fun" she said as she ushered the three women out of the door. "Sorry about her girls. She tends to get a little bit excited at this time of year" Amy said "it's ok mom" Willow replied, Trish nodding in agreement "it was kinda nice to finally see grandma again" as they headed across the street to Matt's house.
"Wow, are you girls not freezing? Adam asked staring at the three women who had just walked through the door. Amy was wearing a black body-con dress with heeled ankle boots, Trish was wearing a long red dress with heels and Willow was wearing a turquoise dress which made her hair look even redder if it was possible. "No we are fine Adam. We only came from across the road" Amy replied, walking over to him "and you don't look too bad yourself" as Matt and Jeff came downstairs, all three of them wearing suits and looking extremely handsome, even if Willow and Trish couldn't stop giggling.
At the party, Vince had set up a karaoke machine in one of the private rooms and as everyone was eating, they kept bugging Willow to get up and sing, but she kept on refusing until Ivory offered to sing with her, not that she had much choice. Ivory grabbed her hand and dragged her into the room and forced the microphone into her hand, before selecting the song, Run by Leona Lewis, completely unaware that Vince was listening to every note and liking what he heard. When Willow had finished singing, Vince walked over to her, the smile on his face said it all. "Willow, I didn't know you could sing" he said smugly before asking "listen, I've had the producer of a TV show wanting to know if I have anyone who would be willing to take part in it. It will last 10 weeks and the winner gets £1 million for charity. Would you be willing to take part on behalf of the company?" "Can I think about it and get back to you Vince?" she replied "sure, but I have to know by the end of next week as the show starts in the New Year" he said before walking back to his table, leaving Willow with a lot to think about.
The next few days passed by quite quickly, Christmas came and went without any major incidents. Willow hadn't really given much thought to Vince's request until she received an email out of the blue from one of her old school which made her immediately pick up her cell and dialled her bosses number "Vince, its Willow. That offer you made me at the party, I'm in."
