Flashback
It was cold.
Oh dear God, it was cold!
She told me it would be cold, and I packed for cold, but not like that kind of cold! I've never even felt that kind of cold before, and I can live my entire life without feeling it again. I had on my huge, fluffy, marshmallow resembling coat, and fuzzy black gloves. My hair was down, covering my ears. And still, I was freezing.
So there I was, in the middle of Times Square, freezing my butt off, and so excited I felt like I could pee at any second. Then finally I saw it, the familiar van that I'd seen so many times in pictures. I was so happy; I just could not believe this was actually happening. I mean, yes I was nervous, but golly was I excited.
You see, I'm from Oklahoma, and well…seeing places like New York City, that doesn't happen very often to me. Little did I know, at that time, that I would someday travel the world with the exact person I was about to come face to face with.
The van parked, and I swear right now on The Rock, it didn't come to a complete stop when that psycho flung up the door and came runnin' at me like there was no tomorrow. It's a wonder I didn't lose my lunch right then and there I was so happy. We hugged for a few seconds then we just started screaming our heads off. Poor rats…I still feel bad for them.
We ran across the street, because holy cow have you seen those drivers? They honk horns just because they are there. I mean golly people! We finally got inside the van, woohoo it was warm too!! Maria's two cousins were there and her brother. That day was the best day of my life, and it still ranks pretty high and let me tell you, I've had a lot of good days. A lot of bad ones too…but we'll get to that later.
We went to the famous McDonald's where that nut went to the bathroom when she went to WrestleMania XX. And yes, she showed me the exact stall she went in too. After eating we got back in the van and Lucy started driving. She wanted to drive back to Maria's house…and I'm sure that speed demon could have made it in two hours. But instead we decided to go stay at a hotel. I loved hotels, still do to this day. Especially the nice ones with the free breakfast, haha!
I can honestly say, I didn't sleep a wink that night, and I didn't want to. I'd just met my best friend in the entire world, as if I was going to sleep. No way Jose! I think we even annoyed Lucy that night…and believe me that chick is the queen of yammerin' on and on about…well nothing really. Don't get me wrong, she's one of greatest people I've ever met, but Jesus she can talk!
After a night of talking, talking, and hey! More talking! The three of them got up and we all went down to the lobby for the free breakfast!! After eating, and, time for the shocker, MORE TALKING we went back to the hotel room to pack our things and get the h e double hockey sticks out of there! Lucy got us to Maria's house in probably three and a half hours.
I was thrilled to meet her mom…scared to death, but thrilled all the same. I've heard that woman's voice, and good gracious when she gets mad, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be under the bed hiding. She was actually very nice to me. She did tell Maria at one time that I was more than welcome to stay there, which is a huge plus! I brought my bags up the stairs and into Maria's room. I think Angels were singing because that room is like Graceland…except wrestling!! It was heaven!! My room of course was done over in wrestling, but c'mon nobody can compete with Maria's room.
Maria was 18 then, and the next day was her Senior Prom. I was 16 and a half and I was ready to go. We had plenty of daylight left so we decided we should go buy our dresses that day. Maria, for some reason, let me drive her car. Woohoo! I was driving in New York!! Not to mention her car ruled. It was a black convertible two-seater. I had a white Miata back at home; it was a convertible too, but still! Maria told me where to turn and all that stuff and we finally got to the store. Maria got this amazing black dress. I wanted it…but I settled on a white one. Her dress had thin straps and criss-crossed in the back. And the neck line had little jewels on it. Wow it was pretty. Mine wasn't to fancy, of course I hate dresses; only for Maria would I wear a dress. It was white was kind of slashed on the chest, so that it looked ripped and the under it was gold cloth.
Next were shoes, oh boy! I got these white stilettos, I still wonder how I managed not to break something that night. They wrapped around my ankle and buckled. Maria's shoes were black to match her dress. The heel was thicker, and they were opened toed. They criss-crossed as well, just like the back of her dress. I was quite impressed.
So we drove back, Maria did actually I think I freaked her out. We got back to her house around 8:00. We were pooped. Not only did we not sleep the night before, but we were just out shopping like maniacs. The second our heads hit the pillows we were out like lights. I think I got up around 9:00, and that knucklehead didn't wake up till like 11:00 I think. Her mom got us doughnuts!! We ate in her room and talked, again. Do not get me wrong! I loved talking with her! It was like we weren't really meeting for the first time. It was like we had already met before. The Senior Ball was at 8:00 that night. I wanted Maria to wear her hair in a ponytail, but nooo!! I straightened for it, golly did it look nice! And for my hair, I just left it down. I think Maria straightened it a little too, not that it needed it, and my hair is naturally straight. It sucks so much when you actually want it curly. I can honestly say, I love my hair. Most people don't, but I do! It's the right shade of blonde, with the slightest hints of red and blonder highlights. Anyways, we got dressed and put on what little make up we used. Which wasn't much, we both weren't big fans of it.
The Senior Ball was a lot of fun, it really was. I got to slap this horrible jerk, and did it feel good! He'd hurt Maria so many times I just wanted him to feel a little bit of pain. I poured my drink on him and slapped him silly! We went back to Maria's house to finally get out of those shoes!!! We went to bed early again that night, because the next day…WAS SUMMERSLAM!!!!!
Woooo!! We'd gotten these AWESOME seats to SummerSlam! That was once again, the best night of my life. We had the greatest seats, my idol The Rock was there. It was just purely…electrifying. I don't know, I can't really describe it, but I wanted to feel that again. Oh and I would, very soon.
"Katy? Earth to Katy? Are you even in there?" Came a voice only a backstage crewman could have.
"Yeah, yeah, sorry. What do ya need?"
"Vince would like to see you in his office."
"Oh would he?"
"Err, yes?" He looked scared, oops!
I grinned to show him it was alright. "I'm playin' buddy, calm down. Thanks for telling me."
I slid off the crate the sound guys used for their speakers and made my way to the boss's office...Dundundun!
I knocked on the door, and his deep voice told me to come in.
"Hi Mr. McMahon, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes I did, thank you for coming on such short notice, Katy."
I hope I'm not in trouble, that's what I kept saying in my head, over and over.
"I wanted to talk to you about a new angle I'm going to set you up with. It will be a romance type angle. You'll valet a certain superstar to the ring and of course you will continue wrestling, he'll help you win, vice versa, and inter-gender matches."
Oh joy, just what I need, I silently thought.
"Okay," I said, putting my best grin on. "And just who might this lucky man be?"
"Triple H."
Those two words…yuck! I swear I think I almost threw up. TRIPLE H!? That…that…thing?! Oh dear God help me!! How could Vince do this to me! I know! I'll go to Stephanie! She'll get me out of this! She wouldn't like me to be in an angle with her husband…haha!
"Oh…alright, is that all?"
"Yes, thank you for coming by. I'll send somebody to meet you two and then he will tell you tonight's plans.
"Alright," I stood up and shook his hand. "Thank you, Vince."
And with that, I was gone. How is this possible!? Me, with HUNTER?! No, no, no, no! This doesn't happen! Oh well, as if I'm going to talk back to the boss! That's right; I'll go to his daughter! She's the head of the storyline department…but I don't know. I have to find Maria first!
