Joy Giovanni was still considered the new girl even though it had been a whole year since the 2004 raw diva search. She was still called a diva wannabe by some of the other superstars and she still didn't have many friends backstage. Things didn't change much in the WWE. Diva's and Superstars weren't particularly close and rookies didn't hang about with the big superstars. The only thing to change recently was the roster because of the draft.
Joy Giovanni stood infront of her mirror staring hard at herself. She still looked like the same person physically, she still had dark brown eyes and long brown hair that fell in soft curls. But on the inside she knew she was a new person. A person she wasn't sure she liked very much. Alot had changed in the WWE and she felt like more of an outsider than ever. As soon as Amy left she knew she was completly alone. She would never get the chance to show her martial art skills to the fans. The fans would never know that she and Amy had trained and even had a practise match that would have been in one of the live shows aswell. But after the trip to Japan she knew there was no way Amy would ever come back no matter how much Joy wanted her to. Amy had been her best friend in the raw diva search aswell as Christy. They had been there for each other the full time. Amy stood up for her when Carmella blabbed about her personal life and Joy had been there for Amy when she was forced to complete a show with a serious injury whilst keeping a smile on her face pretending everything was fine. Then the girls had been reunited on Smackdown and Joy couldn't have been happier. Joy smiled slightly thinking about her friend. It always made her laugh thinking about Amy's character the exact opposite of who she really was. You couldn't meet a sweeter more down to earth girl. Joy was also proud of her friend. Amy had left the company with pride and dignity. She hadn't gone talking to the websites telling them who had done all those horrible things to her she never gave any names at all. Joy had to respect her for that. At times Joy felt like she wanted to leave now that she didn't have Amy and Paul had been drafted to raw. What was the point in her being there? She wasn't being given any oppertunities. But she loved the business and would stick it out until the end. She examined herself in the mirror one last time straightening out her short black skirt and adjusting her white halter top that exposed her tanned tonned stomach. She ran a hand through her long brown curls and placed a bright smile on her face ready to go to the smackdown meeting. She opend the hotel room door and steped out into the empty hallway. She headed along towards the elevator and pressed the button. She sighed and tapped her foot impatiently. She looked up at the clock on the wall and prayed she wouldn't be late for once. She smiled as the doors finally opend and she steped inside. She went to press the button when a hand stopped the doors from closing. Joy looked up into the peircing blue eyes that stared back at her. Randy Orton was the newest addition to the smackdown roster. Joy smiled at him. She couldn't believe it was him. Joy used to talk to Randy all the time on the phone after the raw shows when she was in the diva search. She used to wish she had been put on raw until she became good friends with Paul and a few others backstage. But now he was here again.
"Hey Joy" said Randy with a smirk on his face that said you can't take your eyes off me can you.
Joy quickly averted her eyes from him as she replied "Hey Randy long time no see"
Joy looked back at Randy from the corner of her eye. Her eyes widend as he moved over closer to her. Randy moved his hand towards her when the elevator door opend and a beautiful brunette woman stepped inside. Randy instantly pulled his hand back and Joy frowned slightly. She quickly smiled again as the brunette looked at her.
"Oh My God!" the woman exclaimed
"Hey Candy" said Randy with a grin.
Joy rolled her eyes and looked up at the to see what floor they were at. As soon as the doors opend again Joy rushed out towards the meeting getting as far away as possible from Randy and Candice as she could. She walked into the meeting room and sat down beside her best friends Dawn Marie, Michelle and Torrie. She blinked a few times as she felt her eyes starting to water.
Torrie and Dawn looked at each other with concerned experessions on their pretty faces.
Michelle took Joy's hand "Sweetie what's wrong?" Michelle asked "Do you still miss Paul?"
Joy just shook her head "Can we just talk about this after the meeting please?" she asked looking at her only close friends on Smackdown.
Joy sighed as she looked round to listen to Stephanie McMahon and Teddy Long talk about the new storylines the writers had come up with. If only Amy was there, Amy would understand. Michelle would aswell but could she really tell Torrie and Dawn. They both knew Randy and Torrie was close to Candice. Would they really understand?
