First story ever put up on Fan Fiction. I usually actually read slash, and if this story is a semi-hit, I will probably attempt a few Slash stories as well.

So my best friend and I hit it big in the WWE, trouble ensues. Drama up the wazoo, Romance, angst, and all around craziness, eventually.

I don't own anything, though if I did, Matt Hardy would have been treated better and would be the Heavyweight Champion, and Wade Barrett and the Nexus would not be aloud near the ring. Oh wait, my story, yeah that's why yall are here. Well, here we go

***CHAPTER ONE***

She couldn't believe she finally made it! Well, THEY made it. Nik and her best friend Crystal finally got a contract with the WWE. They turned and looked at each other with huge grins on their faces, and then turned to Vince McMahon.

"Thank you so much, I swear we will work our asses off!" Nik shook his hand. Crystalia walked out the door after shaking his hand as well, and Nik told her she'd be right out. After Crystalia shut the door, Nik turned to McMahon once more. "There's one more thing I needed to ask you about, if you don't mind"

Vince nodded and spoke. "It's about your son?" "Yessir" She looked down at her hands fidgeting a tad. As Nik looked back up, McMahon started talking before Nik could get her request out, "I know he has to travel with you. He's a year and a half, correct" Nik nod. He continued "I will make arrangements for him to be watched during your matches, anything outside of that will come out of your paycheck and you will have to find the sitter yourself."

"Thank you so much," she said, Southern drawl coming out clear as day. And at that, Nik walked out the room to find Crystalia talking to two wrestlers she recognized.

As she approached the trio, Nik rolled her eyes as she saw her friend flirting up a storm with the long-haired Scotsman. Soon as Crystalia noticed her best friend, she motioned at Nik and said, "This is my friend I was telling yall about." Nik smiled, acknowledging the two tall men, then turned to Crystalia. "Crys, I gotta go get Aaron from my folks at the hotel, they're flying back to Texas this afternoon. I'm gunna head to that gym we saw on the way here, so I'll see you tonight in the room." Realizing how rude she had been, Nik turned to the men and said, "Nice to sorta meet yall, McIntyre, Rhodes" she tipped her head at them slightly and walked off.

"She always so formal?" Cody asked Crystal.

"Only when she either doesn't know someone, or when she doesn't care to know someone," she replied.

Cody watched as the brunette vanished from sight. 'Shes pretty hot' he thought to himself. He normally went for blondes, but she definitely had a nice body. Tan, thin waist, great curves. Almost a Native American look to her. "Who's Aaron?" he suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation Drew and Crystal were having.

"Her son. He's a year and a half," Crystal answered. "So since she decided to ditch me, why don't we go have some fun?"

"What did ye have in mind?" Drew asked as he looked her up and down once more. 'Damn, look she's fine' he thought. Wavy blondish-brown hair, thin frame, curvy, but not quite as much as her friend. Pale skin, brown eyes, not tall but not short. He could definitely see himself getting closer to her.

"I was thinking maybe we could go out to eat then hit a movie?" Crystal suggested, looking the Scotsman in the eyes.

"You know, I think I'd rather go to the gym, I haven't gone in two days, and you don't get this Dashing without work," Cody said cockily, flexing and grinning. "So your friend mentioned a gym, which one was she talking about?"

"I think it was Naturally Fit, it was the only one between here and the hotel Vinnie-Mac reserved for all us" Crys told him.

"Ye got a thing fer her, dontcha?" Drew asked, smirking at his friend, who rolled his eyes.

"Hell no, I just wanna mess with her a bit" the second generation superstar replied. Cody thought back to the few minutes he had seen of the newest Diva. She was definitely different than what he was used to. Definitely different. "Anyways, its none of your damn business." Cody shoved his hands into his pockets as he began walking away, questioning himself as to why he was even ditching his tag-team partner and some fun to go work out just to get closer to a girl he's not even sure is worth the time.

"He likes her, its clear as day" McIntyre laughed, noticing the serious look his friend had taken off with. "So, briagha, where would you like to go eat?"

Crys stared at the tall male for a second, wondering what he'd just called her. Oh well, doesn't matter, she decided. "Is there any good Japanese places around here?" He shrugged and pulled out his phone.

"Well if there is, I'll find it on here." He searched Google for a minute and finally found a restaurant that sounded tasty. "So you like Japanese food?" he questioned.

"Yeah. Someday Nik and I wanna be able to travel to Japan. We've always loved the country."

"Would ye ever wanna travel to my dhachaidh tìr of Scotland."

"I'm guessing that meant home?" Drew nodded, "Then yeah, I'd love to visit Scotland."

As they arrived at the restaurant, the Scotsman walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for the young woman. They walked in and as they were seated they passed a coy pond in the center of the building, and the smell of soy sauce and fish filled their noses. Crys looked around once she was seated, and saw Cherry Blossom trees next to every table in the room and little wooden boxes with Japanese characters filled with a candle in the middle of the table.

"This place is beautiful," Crys said softly, continuing to look around.

'Yeah ye are' Drew thought to himself. "I'm glad ye like it. So what sounds good? I don't know much about Japanese food," he said as he looked over the menu. They debated over what they should eat until the waitress wearing a rich red kimono with black cherry blossoms print came to take their order. Drew ordered for both of them, and the waitress went back to bring the order to the kitchen.

"So what's Scotland like?" Crys asked as the waitress entered the kitchen.

"Its amazin'. Covered in green, unlike most places here. Farmlands surround my town, ye can literally smell the fresh vegetables growin'. The fresh produce is sold in the center of town. The buildin's are close together, but each home has several acres separatin' each other, not that it kept us kids from causing as much trouble as we could. My athair, my father, used to tell me I'd never grow up, because me and my friends would sneak out just go play in the pond near our land." Drew let out a sigh, closing his eyes and replaying scenes of summers past.

"Sounds like you miss it," Crys said, snapping Drew back into the present.

"Sometimes, but I'm doin' what I love, and enjoyin' ev'ry minute of it." The conversation carried through the appetizers and way past dessert. When the waitress brought the check, Drew instantly grabbed it and paid.

"I coulda gotten at least my share" Crys pouted, secretly loving the gentlemanly side of Drew McIntyre.

"That's alright, you can make it up to me another day," Drew smirked, watching the sudden flecks of green cross through the normally brown eyes of his new friend.

(at the airport)

"Thank yall so much for watching Aaron," Nik said to her parents as they got to the airport.

"Its no problem, sweety, we know you're gunna make us proud," her father said as they got out of the car. "We'll see yall when yall get a break, don't forget to call every once and a while."

Nik kissed her parents, then grabbed her son re-buckling him into his car seat. She leaned down gently rubbing the top of his head. "Did you have fun with Granny and Grandpa?"

"Go slide!" Aaron exclaimed.

"Yall did? Sounds so fun, maybe we can go slide later, you wanna do that?" He nodded vigorously and Nik laughed. "Aright sounds like a plan to me. Momma's gotta go to the gym, you wanna meet some new friends in the nursery?" "Yes!" She shut the door and returned to the front seat and took off.

The trip was relatively quiet, except for the random gibberish Aaron would yell out and the quiet music on the radio. Nik gathered up her stuff and son and headed into the gym. After checking him into the nursery, she headed into the locker room. Quickly changing into a camo tank top and black pants, Nik headed into the weight room with her ipod already blasting and began stretching.

Stretched out to her satisfaction, Nik walked over to the pull-up bar and reached up, taking hold tightly. Smirking a few feet away was none other than the second generation superstar that had stalked her to the place. He came closer, realizing Nik had her eyes closed as she continued her pull-ups. He was counting, '25, 26, 27, 28'. He came a little closer, still completely unnoticed by the woman a few feet away. She uncrossed her ankles and dropped down at 50, keeping her eyes closed as she rolled her shoulders and sighing.

Soon as she opened her eyes to go to one of the benches, she jumped back clutching at her heart and squeaking slightly. "Rhodes, what the fuck are you doing here?" she exclaimed.

He smirked at her, stepping a little closer and staring into her hazel-green eyes, "Thought you might want some company," he said as he tilted his head slightly to the side, almost sizing her up.

She quickly put out her hand, pushing him back slightly, "Ain't you never heard of personal space," her Southern drawl coming out strongly. Cody simply shook his head and Nik rolled her eyes. "Well then excuse me, I gotta workout to finish with." She quickly maneuvered around the nuisance, walking over to the Leg Curl machine and adjusting the weight to her liking.

But of course, Cody would not be ignored. 'Who does she think she is? Is she blind? How can she resist me, I'm Dashing Cody Rhodes' he grumbled to himself and followed soon after to stand next to the Texan. Soon as she saw him next to her, she quickly replaced her ear buds and closed her eyes as she worked out. Not willing to wait for her to finish, Cody leaned over and pulled the buds out of her left ear.

"What the fuck do you want, boy? Cant you tell I'm tryin to work out it peace? Seriously, don't mess with me. If you really wanna bother me, at least do me the courtesy of waiting until I'm done with my workout!" She let out a frustrated sigh and put her ear bud back in.

Content that he had pissed her off, and seeing that she somewhat agreed to talk to him when she was done with her workout, Cody walked over and began to workout himself, never taking his eyes off the strange new Diva.

Three hours later, long after Cody had gotten bored with working out and deciding to simply sit and watch the younger brunette work out, Nik turned off her ipod and walked back into the locker room. Ten minutes later, hair completely soaked and wearing a pair of jeans, her brown boots and a brown tank top, she came out pulling her hair into a pony tail.

"It don't take you long to get ready, does it?" Rhodes asked her as he pulled off the wall he'd been leaning against. She shook her head and continued walking. "Where you going? I thought we were gunna get to talk."

"Gotta get my son from the nursery," Nik replied, not turning to Cody, nor slowing down while he tried to catch up. After receiving Aaron and the diaper bag, she turned and began heading out of the gym.

"Are you really gunna ignore me?" Cody asked, sounding a little more than annoyed.

"Nope, you aint sayin nothing, and I need to get my son something some supper, so I'm just getting ready to leave. You got something you wanna say, say it. If not, I'm sorry but I really don't got time to just hang out. Life aint near as much play and goofing round as yours is. I got responsibilities that I gotta take care of." She stood up, looking into the beautiful baby blues of Cody Rhodes, almost forgetting what she was gunna say, clearing her throat and continuing. "Listen, you really as interested in talkin to me as you acting, then follow me to the hotel and we can talk as I fix Aaron something to eat."

For a minute, Cody just stood there staring at woman in front of him. "Did I do something wrong?" he suddenly asked.

"Look, I'm sorry for snappin at you, but you're the one following me and actin weird. But seriously, if I don't feed my son soon, hes gunna cry, and NO ONE wants my son to start crying. I'll see you at the hotel."

After the short drive to the hotel, Nik began carrying her Aaron and her gym bag over to the elevator, Cody fast on her tail. As soon as he caught up to her, her phone rang and she answered quickly. "Hey baby girl, whatcha need?"

'Wow, she's so much nicer to people that aren't me' Cody sighed, watching the lights on the elevator slowly coming down from the top and making its way down to the lobby.

"Huh, oh yeah he stalked me to the gym. Haha, yeah it was weird, but I don't care. Yeah we're in the lobby now waitin on the elevator to get down here. We'll be there in a few minutes. Wait, McIntyre's there? Please don't tell me yall already… Good, well the elevators here now, we'll see yuh in a few. Love yuh!" Nik hung up the phone as she stepped in. She turned and looked at her stalker, "Yuh coming?" and he quickly stepped in before the doors shut on him.

"I'm guessing that was Crys?" the taller brunette asked her. She nodded as the bell pinged and the doors began to open.

"Rhodes!" Aaron shouted as he pointed at him.

"Wow, he knows who I am? Should I be flattered?" Cody laughed, thinking he finally found a way through the tough exterior of Nik's shield.

"Rhodes a joke! Rhodes get RKO'd!" Aaron started clapping his hands and laughing.

"Wow, have you already trained your son to hate me?" he pouted.

"Don't pout, it gives you wrinkles," Nik smirked and Cody quickly changed his expression to a neutral one. "Seriously, you are like the most narcissistic man I've ever seen! Anyways, no, there is no hatred from either of us, Aaron here just loves watching anyone get RKO'd. Well, we're at our room, Crys and Drew are in here, so be where, she may or may not have a shirt on." And they entered the room. "What the hell?"
