A/N- I know, I'm breaking my own rule by starting another story. I couldn't help it though, I'm stuck on my other one, and know exactly what I'm doing with this one. This was one of the stories voted for in my profile, so I decided now was as good as time as any to start it.
This is for Becky, so the pairing is rather obvious. I intend this to be a rather long story, I'm hoping at least 20 chapters, that is, if Becky likes it. Therefore, Becky and Cody won't get together in this chapter, or the upcoming few. Sorry.
The summary is totally different then what it was in my profile. I decided I could write it better this way. So if you are waiting for Cody and Becky to be best friends in this, it isn't happening.
Summary- Being placed on the main roster wasn't as bad as they had first made it sound, but there was one person Cody didn't get along with, Becky. Can a series of different events change all that? Hell yeah it can.
Let me know what you think. I promise there will be more interactions in the next chapter.
"Dad I'm telling you that if you bring him up and put him with Dusty, the other guys aren't going to take to him all that well." Shane advises his father.
"Cody won't stay with his dad for long, just long enough to do a short program with Randy." Vince explains.
"Their all going to give him a hard time about it. You know how they are."
"Shane, it's final. Cody will debut with his father at his side. If the others don't like it, well then that's there problem.
"Alright, but his first year here is going to be awful. Especially after Dusty goes back to writing for ECW." Shane tells his father.
"He'll adapt, they always do."
"Sure, if he stays long enough for that. We'll be lucky if he stays a month."
"The guys aren't that bad Shane, they'll make him feel like family after a few months."
"You said that about David too, and look what happened to him." Shane reminds him. They had plans to bring David Flair, son of the great Ric Flair up to the main roster, but it didn't work out as planned.
"This is not the same situation Shane. David felt like he had to much to live up too. It was to much pressure for him to handle at the time."
"What do you think is going to happen to Cody? He's going to feel like he is going to have to out perform Dusty, have more fans, win more championships."
"Shane! My decision is final. Your sister seems to agree with me on this, I don't see why you don't." Vince says, becoming annoyed with his oldest child. He has been in the wrestling business longer then Shane has been alive.
"No one ever said she was smart." Shane mumbles. This was a bad idea, he knew it. The guys on the Raw roster weren't going to accept Cody, he was sure of it.

"Sit down, this won't take long." Vince says, addressing the entire Raw locker room. Against his better judgment, he told Shane he would talk to the wrestlers. He usually didn't do this when a rookie was coming up, but for some reason, Shane wanted him to do it for Cody.
"So I'm not sure if you heard yet or not, but we are bringing up Cody Rhodes, Dusty's boy, to the main roster." Vince says, while they all look at him with bored looks on their faces.
"At least act like your listening to me. Anyway, I don't want you giving this young man a hard time. We are going to put him with his father at first, to get him over with the fans and such. Make him feel welcome and what not. Everybody understand and agree?" About thirty heads began nodding yes, of course one had to speak up.
"Vince, you have nothing to worry about. I will personally make sure these assclowns are nice to him."
"Thank you Chris. That will be all now." They all begin to exit the room, all believing they just wasted ten minutes of their life.
"Has anyone ever seen Cody before?" Mickie asks, standing with the other girls.
"Beth and I were in OVW with him for awhile." Maria says.
"Is he cute?" Mickie asks, they were always curious when new talent came up.
"Oh yeah." Maria tells her, while someone grunts beside her.
"You all right Becky?"
"I am, but you obviously aren't. Thinking Cody is cute."
"What? He is. Have you ever seen him?" Beth asks her.
"A few times, and he is not that good looking. He seems shy as hell." Becky tells them.
"You think everyone is shy." Maria comments.
"Only because she spends her time with Ken and Randy, two of the loudest men in the company." Mickie says. Becky spent more time with those two causing havoc, then she did with the girls.
"Don't forget Adam." Jillian adds.
"No wonder you find Cody shy, your always around men who don't shut up." Maria says, smiling at her friend.
"Oh come on guys. I'm hardly around Randy anymore." Becky says, defending herself.
"That's because bars and clubs put in a new rule. Everyone must wear pants." Melina jokes.
"Anyway, I can't wait to see how the guys give Cody a hard time." Becky says. That was her favorite part, watching the guys break in the rookies.
"Who knows Becky, Cody might be the one for you." Maria says. Becky didn't date a lot. Most guys couldn't handle her sick sense of humor, or the fact that she spent a lot of her time with other guys. Working with muscled up wrestlers didn't help any.
"Sure, and pants might find their way into Randy's wardrobe." Becky says laughing.
"Hey, you never know." Maria tells her. Becky just shrugs her shoulders, knowing that will never happen. Hell would freeze over before she would date Cody. They met one time, about a year and a half ago, it didn't go so well. They were in place to have a storyline together, but long story short, it didn't happen.
"Come on, let's go get ready for tonight." Melina says. They had a little over an hour to get ready before Raw starts.

"Cody, my father gave everyone a lecture about making you feel welcomed, and not giving you a hard time. They all agreed, but that means nothing. You'll be the butt of jokes, you won't be allowed to hang out with the others, and if and when they do, you'll be the one buying everything." Shane explains to the rookie.
"Shane is right Cody. These a hard bunch of guys to win over. But by the time the next rookie is moved up, you'll be one of them. Don't get discouraged by them, just ignore them. That's what I do." Vince tells him.
"On the good side of it all, the Divas will love you, and fawn all over you. All except Becky. She'll make fun of you right a long with the guys." Vince continues. Cody was scared. They made it seem like he was entering a War or something.
"I've met Becky a few times." Cody tells them, barely above a whisper.
"Good, good. So you know not to take anything she says personally then?" Shane asks. Becky had a thing for insulting the younger talent, even though she was really young herself.
"Of course not sir. I will do everything in my power to avoid her at all costs." Cody says, thinking of the first...and last, time they met each other.
"What else is there to tell you?, Oh yes, avoid Jericho, Hunter, and Shawn." Vince advises the young man.
"Jericho for your mental health, and Hunter and Shawn for your physical health. They'll have you as an alcoholic in a month." Shane adds.
"I didn't know Shawn drank."
"He doesn't. But he gets a kick out of the younger guys drinking. Usually, something embarrassing happens by the end of the night. If you don't want that to happen, avoid them." Shane tells him. He was taking every precaution with Cody that he could. The man was a good wrestler, and with the right moves, could make the company a lot of money, that is, if the others didn't drive him out of the company first.
"Also, the guys are very protective over the girls, so be careful with that. Especially with Becky, Ken and Randy will tear you apart if you do anything to her." Vince warns.
"Don't worry Mr. McMahon, I won't be going around her at all, ever." Cody tells them, dead set on avoiding Becky, who he liked to privately refer to as the devil.
"Alright then Mr. Rhodes. I think your all set. If there are any problems with the other guys, get in line, because you aren't the first one. All in all, I think this will be a very good experience for you." Vince says, standing up to shake his hand.
"Thank you Mr. McMahon, Shane." Cody says, shaking both of their hands.
"Stick around, and you'll go over wardrobe, character, script, and all that with the writers." Was the last thing Shane told him before leaving.
Cody sat back down, nervous as ever. Vince and Shane didn't make the other wrestlers around here seem to friendly. He hoped he fit in and wasn't an outcast. The good thing about all this was that his dad would be with him for awhile, but then he was on his own. He kept telling himself he should be okay, he knew who to watch out or and who to avoid. He would just keep to himself for awhile before getting to know the others. He heard they were moving Harry Smith up to Raw soon, so he would maybe have someone to hang out with. He didn't have to worry about Shawn and Hunter, because he didn't drink at all. He could handle jokes being thrown at him, he wasn't scared of that. He was scared of Becky. He wondered if she remembered their short encounter almost two years ago. God, he hoped not.
