The backstage drama
Chapter 1- The new girl.
"What? Another one?" demanded Michael Hayes. "Vince is this such a good idea?" he asked.
Vince McMahon had posted on he was in search of a new creative writer, one with a very odd yet powerful imagination. He told Michael Hayes he was testing the water. "She doesn't have a degree, yet she can come up with ideas in an instant. I want to give her a try."
Mr. Hayes was silently places a bet as to how long this girl would last. He was going to meet her at the next meeting. As time rolled on Michael Hayes had already started the pool. "Place your bets, how long is she going to last?" he asked the other creative writers.
"This isn't very polite, she could be very good" explained Ranjin Singh.
"Typical response from…"
Before the phrase could finish, she walked in. A twenty something girl with a smile on her face came in with the likes of Vince McMahon. She sat down next to Mr. Singh and introduced herself.
"Hi, I'm Lee" she explained.
"Ranjin" he replied. The two listened in with the other writers about upcoming storylines. Michael Hayes was giving her a look… almost like a stinky eye stare.
"Ok, let's see what the kid has" Hayes announced the moment Vince stopped talking. Every eye turned to Lee who only smiled. "We need an insult towards Randy Orton"
"Who is Orton talking to?" she asked.
"Doesn't matter, what's the insult" Hayes demanded.
"If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I would fart" Lee said in an instant. Snickers came about the table as some couldn't contain the smile from the simple joke. Vince was rather stunned.
"That seems rather childish doesn't it?" he questioned.
"Coming from the man who created DX?" she questioned.
"Oh, good point" McMahon muttered, yet couldn't help but feel he was just insulted somehow.
Ranjin smirked to the comment as Michael Hayes sat there stunned. "That's the best you could come up with?" he demanded.
"Considering the spot you put me on yes, it was that or nothing at all" Lee replied defiantly, if there was one thing she wasn't going to stand for would be a bully. Lee knew in an instant there's a target on her back, and some are aiming for it.
Luckily in order to get a better perspective of the writing, Vince allowed her to do something rather unorthodox. She got to interview WWE wrestlers in character, writing down their mindsets and did miniature interviews. A great writing trick taught to her from an author. She wrote it all down in books and kept them near for her resource. However she had difficulty with one superstar. The Great Khali, Lee was well aware of his limited English and figured she would talk to Ranjin for some assistance afterwards.
As the meeting went on, Lee gave in some input to upcoming storylines that impressed Mr. McMahon for a first time creative writer. He didn't expect her to catch on as quickly as she did. Also how willing she was to learn the ins and outs… although half the time she was sent out of the room for coffee and treats for the rest of the creative writing staff. Ranjin filled her in on what she missed as she left the room.
Vince stood and announced that Lee isn't just working in the creative department. "She is also here to assist with merchandise as well as advertising. She has some wicked little ideas that I think would being a breath of fresh air into the industry. So welcome aboard Lee!"
Lee smiled and nodded to Mr. McMahon. As the meeting ended she stopped Ranjin from leaving and asked him the odd question. "Sir… I am trying to get some notes on the superstars, would you mind helping me with The Great Khali?" she asked.
He was rather stunned to her request. "What do you need to know?"
She explained the notes in her book, and asked if he wouldn't mind translating for her. "In all honesty, I have been trying to learn his language for some time." She explained.
"Why is that?"
"Incase if I did ever meet him, I want him to be comfortable with speaking to me. Sounds odd doesn't it?" she asked.
"I think it sounds great, he would be very pleased to know one is trying to speak in his native language"
"I just want to make sure I don't say anything insulting!"
Ranjin smirked. "You don't have to worry about that, someone here lets those fly freely" he whispered.
Lee knew who he spoke of; after all it was all over the net and on later that week. The two left the room as Ranjin introduced her to the Great Khali.
