A match against Kane? Stephanie must be crazy. Either that or she's pregnant again. Or high. Because why else would she be putting the number one contender for the Diva's title in a match against the Big Red Machine? Ok, so I did slap her in the face, but that's only because she called me a coward. Stephanie McMahon and I have never seen eye-to-eye, though, ever since I debuted. I guess a match against Kane is a simple case of be careful what you wish for; I'd just last night been complaining to CM Punk that all the other Diva's were too easy to beat, and that I wanted more competition.

Sorry, I should introduce myself. For those of you who don't watch WWE, my name's Maryse Ouellet... Who am I kidding, of course you know me!

Anyway, back on track...

I'm standing in the ring right now, pretending to be psyched and ready, but truth is, I'm scared shitless. I mean, seriously, it's KANE! He's friggin seven feet tall! I'm 5ft 8"! Fire explodes from the ring post, and I almost pee my pants. I shoot a look to Lilian Garcia and Chad Patton, who smile sympathetically. I roll my eyes and focus on Kane. Maybe I could deliberately get myself DQ'd... Kane's approaching me, with a menacing look in his eyes...

OK, right now, at this present moment, I am being held by the throat, which basically means I'm about to get chokeslammed. I hear the crowd roar in approval. What the hell? Are they enjoying this? That's when I notice Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, of all people, running down the entrance ramp, just as I'm getting lifted into the air. Actually, I shouldn't be suprised; Randy promised me on day one he would look out for me. Apparently he didn't mean personally. Cody takes out Kane's legs and chases him out of the ring while Ted checks on me.
"Are you OK?"
"I'm fine..." I manage to reply. The back of my neck is killing me though, after what I assume was a clothesline earlier.. I couldn't really tell seeings as I was only semi-conscious. Ted lifts me up and places his hands on my shoulders. He smiles and leans his forehead against mine.
"Are you sure you're OK?"
I smile back at him.
"Yeah, I'm--" I don't even get to finish my sentence- Ted is kissing me. Before I even get a chance to enjoy it though, it's over, and Cody and Ted are walking back up the entrance ramp, leaving me blushing like a little school girl. I smile uneasily at the crowd and roll out of the ring.

"Are you in a lot of pain?" The trainer examines my neck from behind while I hold the ice pack to it.
"Just a little bit of pain, right here-" Once again, I don't get to finish my sentence before Mickie James walks in.
"Hey Reese"
"Hi, Mickie"
"Ted just came to the locker room looking for you..."
I drop the icebag into the trainer's awaiting hands, and feel myself blushing again, in spite of myself.
"Ted... DiBiase?"
"No, Big Ted from Play School."
"Right." I should've seen that one coming. I start to walk out of the room. "Thanks, doc." Mickie follows me out.
"Are you going to find Ted?"
"Sure. But you aren't." I stop and push Mickie back into the trainer's room and close the door in her face. She's a sweet girl, and a great friend, but she's a bit nosy sometimes. I can hear her protesting, but I ignore it.
10 minutes later, I run into Cody Rhodes, who's standing by the soda machine.
"Cody..."
Cody grins, knowing exactly who I'm looking for. Arrogant bitch. I love him, but God he's annoying.
"Hiya Maryse."
"Have you seen Ted?" I try to sound nonchalant, but I don't think it's working. I'm not so good at the acting.
"Maybe..." At this point, I'm resisting the urge to push the soda machine over and squash Cody flat.
"Cody, come on" Now I just sound desperate. Cody rolls his eyes and points to his left.
"He's hanging around your locker room"
"Thank you" I hug Cody quickly and half skip, half run down the corridor. Once I get near the locker room, I can see the back of Ted's head and I coach myself to breathe... I've never noticed how cute Ted is until now... Even the back of his head-- Ok, enough talking, here goes...
"Ted!" He turns around at the sound of my voice and grins.
"I was beginning to think you were avoiding me" His gorgeous accent makes me forget everything I was planning to say to him. This sucks.
"No, no, I was looking for you. I-I wanted to say thanks for saving me out there."
"There's no need to thank me for saving you... Cody did all the work" He takes a step closer to me and my heart starts beating faster.
"Well, if you aren't the one who saved me, maybe I should give this to Cody..." I take a step closer to him and kiss him. This time, it seems to last forever, which I definitely prefer.
"There's no need to give that to Cody, I mean after all, I did all the work..." Ted smiles at me again, and I can hear someone calling his name. I sigh, knowing if Ted leaves now, I won't see him until this time next week. I turn around to see Randy Orton. Remind me to yell at him later
"I should... go..." Ted smiles apologetically, and just the sight of his smile makes me let him go. I watch helplessly as he walks down the corridor. Once he gets to Randy, he hits him in the arm. I can slightly make out what Ted is saying.
"You have the worst timing in the world" I giggle a bit and walk away, anxiously awaiting next week.
