1. Roxy and Ruby

TITLE: I Want You To Want Me

CHARACTERS: Roxy Cayan, Ruby Marshell, Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin

PAIRINGS: Alex Shelley/OC (Roxy), Chris Sabin/OC (Ruby)

NOTES: Don't have any…

DISCLAIMER: I own Roxy Cayan. Chic of Extreme owns Ruby. The others are not mine, nor do I claim they are.

I've always wanted to wrestle. All my life, I've wanted it. So has my best friend, Ruby. Ruby wanted to be in the WWE, though. I really didn't care where I was, as long as there was a ring and a fight. That's all I've ever needed.

We sent out so many tapes while we were wrestling in the indies. We went through Impact Zone, High Impact, Rising Phoenix, and Western Alliance. And guess who picked us up? Dixie Carter! From TNA! She called us personally and asked us if we could be at the offices by the next week. We made it, had a successful interview, and now we're all packed up and moving into our new apartment in Orlando.

"Ready to go, Rubes?" I ask my friend as we throw our bags into the U-Haul that we rented.

Ruby casts a forlorn glance at our small, shared home. "I guess…"

I clap her on the back. "Rubes, we can still come home to visit. God knows I can't deal with staying away from Cynthi, Mom, and Dad for too long." I miss them already.

Ruby sighs. "Yeah." She brightens. "But, we're going to Florida! To wrestle!"

I smile, hopping into the front seat. She gets in on the other side. "My dad's driving my car out and yours is driving yours, right?"

"Yeah." She turns on the radio. "Fergie!" She shouts, cranking the volume.

I smile as she attempts to dance in her seat. This is how we've spent every car ride together since we were children.

It's dark at our new apartment when we arrive. I throw open the door, carrying a blue duffel bag. "Hello?" I call out of habit, flicking on the lights.

Ruby bounds past me. "I call bathroom first!" She shouts, throwing her purple duffel in a dark bedroom on her way.

I shake my head as the shower starts up. Her hair needs redyed. The purple's washing out. I bang on the locked bathroom door. "Dye your hair, sweetheart!" I yell to my best friend. "It needs it!"

"Yeah, yeah!" She replies. "I know."

I fall onto the couch, flipping on the television. I won't be able to sleep tonight. I'm so excited for our TNA debut. Jim Cornette and Dixie Carter want to meet us for lunch to discuss our gimmicks tomorrow and I can't wait!
