"JADE!"
Jade popped her head into the kitchen at the rather loud summons of her name. She saw
Johnny trying desperately to keep up with the dozens of orders he'd just been handed.
"Could ya work a double tonight Jade? We got some Superstars come in later and I need
your help."
Jade smiled and sighed, "Isn't that why I'm here Johnny? To make everyone happy?" He
grinned at her and she made her way back into the crowded restaurant. She glanced to her
left at the small boy having his picture taken beside the large WWF New York sign. She
had a soft spot in her heart for everyone, but especially children.
She'd been working at WWF New York for almost two months now and she'd managed to
meet several superstars. She wondered if Edge would be stopping by tonight, he always
left her a big tip. She walked into the back office to check her schedule for next week
when she heard loud cheering from outside. She peeked through the small glass window
on the door at who all the fuss was about. Since she was a devoted wrestling fan, she
immediately knew those who came in. Rhyno, All three Dudleys and Raven.
"Wow, almost looks like an ECW convention out there." she commented to herself. She
quickly went to the mirror to check her appearance, and when she was finally happy with
the results she grabbed her handy dandy notebook and headed to take their orders.

He didn't want to go, they had made him. Said something about getting out and having
fun. What kind of fun was this, it was so noisy he couldn't even hear himself think. He
glanced at the menu and decided to just to order a drink. Bubba and Rhyno were talking
about some new car that Spike had just bought, so Raven took this time to sit back in his
chair and take a look around.
He glanced toward the bar and suddenly every loud noise disappeared in his mind. He saw
a woman standing there writing something on a notebook. She had a soft honey colored
hair that was pulled back in a neat little bun. And she had a nice body, a real nice body.
Raven suddenly wondered why he was thinking about such things. He normally looks at
beautiful girls all the time and he never really thinks twice about them. But this one was
different, he couldn't quite put his finger on it yet.
He quickly sat up when he noticed she was a waitress and she was in fact heading for their
table. She bounded up the steps that separated them, and she greeted all of them with a
sweet smile. He noticed it wasn't false, like most waitress's, this one was actually being
genuine.
"Hi boys, My name is Jade and I'll be your waitress this evening."
He was focused on her face as she talked, she had pretty eyes. They were an almost aqua
color. An ocean of blue and green wrapped up in a innocent, yet mature orbs. He had
phased out, staring at her eyes, he almost missed her ask if they wanted something to
drink. He asked for water and they all looked at him a little strangely but she just smiled.
When she left to get their drinks, Spike quickly turned to Raven.
"Are you going to get her number?"
"What?"
"You heard me, and you can pick your jaw up off the floor too."
Raven rolled his eyes as the rest of his table shared a hearty laugh together. He folded his
arms over his chest and sat back in his chair again. "I need some fresh air." That came out
in more of a grumble then he intended. He stood and made his way out the back door.
Jade watched him walk off. And she didn't quite know what made her do it But she found
herself asking Johnny to cover for her real quick. She walked out the back door in search
of Raven.
The found him in the back alley. He was leaning up against the wall and she would've
thought he was smiling if the darkness wasn't almost consuming him.
"Hello?" Her voice snapped him back into reality.
"Hi"
"Do you want me to bring you water out here or are you going to come back inside where
its warm?"
She thought she saw him smile, but that wouldn't be like the Raven she knew from
watching him on TV. She felt awkward for following him outside like she did. Before he
could answer her question about the water. She asked him another question.
"Did you want to be alone?"
"Kinda" she hung her head embarrassed for following him, she was about to turn and go
back inside when he heard him speak up again, "But you can stay out here with me if
you'd like."
