Summary: When Vince sends a few wrestlers and Diva's off for a special international tour: anything goes.

Notes: Firstly, I'll say this- I am extending the length of the time off between shows. Come to think of it, they ain't in any matches for the duration of the story. Selected wrestlers and Diva's are there by my choosing, don't like the choices? Don't read the story. Secondly- yes, I am ignoring current storylines/angles/injuries and what have you. Rosters are joined for sake of the piece, but it won't matter much in the long run. Why? Because I can, that's why. This is my story. Again, if you don't like it- don't read it. Thirdly- if I think of anything else pertinent, I'll mention it later on.

………..

WWE Corporate Headquarters- Stamford, Connecticut

Torrie Wilson walked into the appointed office, feeling more than a little bit confused. At first the blonde woman had presumed it was to discuss a new angle. That idea had been nixed when she noticed that Victoria and Dawn Marie were also present. The Idaho native then thought, that maybe they were there to discuss the next Diva's photo shoot. But, if that was truly the case .. Where were the other Diva's and why were Chris Jericho, Christian, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero sitting in the office? The blonde woman's confusion only grew as Triple H walked in not long after she had; Torrie opting to take a seat on one of the couches with Dawn and Victoria.

"Any idea why we're here?" Torrie whispered to either Diva beside her.

Dawn shrugged in response, "No clue .. I just know that by the time I arrived? Rey and Eddie were already here."

Victoria nodded in turn, "I got here with Chris and Christian .. Not long after Dawn actually."

The blonde woman frowned, "I thought we-"

"Ladies.." Vince McMahon interrupted the three, "And gentlemen .. We're just waiting on four others .. Then we'll get started."

Torrie blinked in response, the three Diva's falling silent shortly after.

"Excuse me, Vince?" Triple H raised an eyebrow, "Why are we here?"

"In a moment," Vince replied smoothly, "As I said, we're waiting on four others."

"Mr. McMahon?" one of the secretaries opened the door then, "there are two gentlemen here to see you."

"Send them in please."

All eyes turned to the door, Randy Orton and John Cena entering the office shortly there after.

"Gentlemen," Vince nodded to each in turn, gesturing to the other couch in the office. "Please, have a seat."

The two shrugged, sprawling out on the empty couch opposite the Diva trio.

"Sir, why can't you just tell us now?"

"Because," Vince paused, setting aside a pile of papers. "It's important that everyone is present. We're still waiting on two more people."

Chris raised an eyebrow, "You can't tell us anything?"

The Chairman shrugged, "I suppose I can distribute these.." he gestured then to another stack of folders on his desk. "Chris, since you volunteered .. Why don't you pass one of these out to everyone?"

The blonde man rolled his eyes, pushing off the wall to comply with the request. And once everyone had a folder in hand, he resumed his spot next to the door.

"As you can see.." Vince began then, setting his reading glasses on the wooden surface. "That's the upcoming pay-per-view and live event schedule for the next twenty four weeks. Also in that packet, there's a list of scheduled appearances, photo shoots, autograph sessions .. Things of that nature."

Christian flipped through the papers, his forehead creasing in confusion. "Umm, excuse me Vince? Why aren't I scheduled for anything?"

Dawn Marie frowned, "Yeah .. I'm not scheduled for anything either. I thought that a few of us were heading over to New York City next week for a photo shoot."

"You were," Vince confirmed then. "And some of you still are .. Just you aren't."

The New Jersey native raised a sculpted eyebrow, "Excuse me?"

Vince held up his hands, "It's all explained in those packets there.." he gestured to another pile of papers then, "And I'll explain everything in a moment."

Triple H tossed the folder in his hands on the floor, "Why can't you just tell us now?"

"Have a little patience holmes," Eddie grinned impishly, "I mean .. I know you think your fans will suffer, essa. But it's not the end of the world."

"Mr. McMahon-" Trish Stratus began as she pushed the door open, "I'm so sorry we're late."

"We ran into car trouble," Lita explained as she followed behind the Canadian Diva. "Car broke down just as we were exiting the interstate."

Victoria raised an eyebrow, "Then how did you two get here?"

"Tow truck of course," the redheaded Diva swept her hair from her face, hazel eyes falling over the others who were gathered. "Again, we're sorry .. But it was out of our control."

"Not a problem ladies," Vince re-assured with a smile, "Please .. Have a seat."

The two Diva's exchanged a look before they weighed their seating options. One of the couches was already full, the four plush chairs were likewise occupied .. Which left them with two choices. Stand or sit on the other couch.

"We ain't gonna bite," John sent a wink to the two Diva's. "There's room here if y'all don't wanna stand."

Lita shrugged, "Whatever." the redhead quirked a smile, slipping off her sunglasses as she took a seat on the couch.

Randy stood then, gesturing absently to the cushion he had been occupying. He sent a look to the blonde Canadian Diva as he re-settled on the arm of the couch. "You can sit .. No biggie."

Trish raised an eyebrow, but shrugged it off none the less; the Canadian Diva taking a seat on the couch.

"Well, now that we're all here." Vince sent a smile to the room, "Let's begin shall we?"

There were still more than a few confused looks amongst them, but undaunted Vince went on.

"Now, I just wanted to say .. That you all are doing tremendous work on the programming. Why, ever since you've joined the WWE, I've watched on with pride. You've carried yourselves wonderfully, always given 100 and ten percent." He paused then, clearing his throat slightly before he continued. "Which is why, I feel that you all deserve a vacation."

Rey exchanged a look with Eddie, "Well that explains why we aren't scheduled for anything.."

Chris blinked incredulously, "Vacation?" the blonde man echoed, "What's the catch?"

Vince chuckled, "And just what makes you think there's a catch?"

Christian snorted, "No offense sir .. I really do like the sound of a vacation. More than you know. But-"

"Paid vacation?" Torrie queried then, "Or does that not really matter."

The Chairman grinned broadly, "Now that you ask Torrie- yes, it is a paid vacation."

"Now I know there's a catch," Chris grumbled under his breath, the blonde man raking a hand through his hair. "So when does our 'vacation' start?"

"We're not fired, are we?" Dawn sent a wary glance to the chairman, "I mean I can't really afford to lose this job."

"None of us can," Lita echoed the brunette's sentiments. "So.."

"Your vacation is effective starting Thursday." Vince mentioned then, "Which gives you two days until-"

"And here comes the catch."

"You're to report back here. You won't be on the televised shows, pay per views or at the house shows. You've also been taken off the scheduled appearances for the duration of your .. Vacation."

Triple H. frowned, "Why?"

"Instead, you all will be taking a working vacation .. All expenses paid.. Courtesy of the WWE." He paused again, gesturing to the piles of paper on his desk. "These are your itineraries and your scripts-"

"For what?"

"I've decided to send you all on a special, international tour. You'll be taking off from J.F.K. International airport tomorrow and your first destination is Miami."

Chris snorted, "Oh yeah .. That's really international."

"From there, you'll take a three day cruise to the Bahamas." Vince sat back in his chair, a thoroughly pleased smile on his face. "You'll be staying at the Atlantis Resort for one night, have a photo shoot and an autograph session for a day before you're off again."

Lita sent a sideways glance to Trish, "As good as this sounds, I wonder if we can un-volunteer for this 'vacation'."

"For the first time ever, the WWE will be making an appearance in South America."

Eddie seemingly brightened, "South America? Essa, you aren't pulling our legs are you?"

The Chairman shook his head, "Not at all.. You'll each receive a full copy of your itinerary and a script-"

"Why do we need scripts?" Trish blinked, confusion evident in her tone. "I mean, if we aren't appearing on programming-"

"Correction.. You won't be appearing on RAW, Smackdown or any of the pay-per-views.. But that doesn't mean you won't be appearing on WWE sanctioned programming."

"Another catch," Chris buried his face in his hands, "We're sooo doomed."

"While you all are on this 'vacation', you'll be accompanied by a camera crew. Two of the companies photographers will also be joining you, along with a member of the acting management team. Just to ensure that everything runs smoothly."

"Wait a minute," Triple H interjected before anyone could say a word, "You mean to tell me that, we're going to be sent off to who knows where .. For six months?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you." Vince raised an eyebrow, "And if you don't like it, you can take a walk. Don't let the door hit you on your way out."

"So, just where exactly are we goin' for this shindig?" John sat forward then, resting his elbows on his thighs. "I ain't too happy 'bout not bein' able to compete for awhile, but-"

"As I said, you'll each receive a copy of the full itinerary before you leave." Vince rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying in vain to ward off the impending headache. "You'll be visiting the continents of South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. You were scheduled to go to Australia, but we figured six months would be enough."

Triple H frowned, still not happy about the situation. "Damn right about that."

"Instead of Australia, your last week will be spent on a remote island in the South Pacific." Vince sat back in his chair, "Now, you're wardrobes, meals, transportation- everything will be provided for. All you need to bring are your basic necessities and a passport. Do not bring a full suitcase or it will be left behind."

The Diva's smiled sheepishly, Chris rolling his eyes but refraining from making a comment.

"Now, before you leave .. Understand this: while you aren't on regularly scheduled programming like RAW or Smackdown, you are still on WWE programming. As such, you are expected to conduct yourselves in a professional manner. Should I hear otherwise? You will be fired." the Chairman pushed back from his desk then, gathering the stacks of papers in his arms. "Are there any questions?"

Lita raised an eyebrow, "Who's accompanying us?"

"Bischoff." Vince stated as he started distributing scripts. "Shane will be coming back to RAW to take over until you all return."

Torrie bit her lower lip, tucking the script inside her folder. "Umm, I just want to know.. Why us?"

"Yeah," Christian piped up then, "I mean .. why not someone else?"

"Well, I feel that you all are good representations of the company." Vince shrugged, the Chairman handing out the itineraries next. "I did mean it when I said, you all have made me proud since your debuts with us."

"So, we have two days?" Chris tucked his folder underneath his arm, "What about boarding passes and all that stuff?"

"You'll have a private jet." Vince mentioned then, the Chairman leaning back against his desk as his task was completed. "When I said everything was provided for- I meant everything."

Randy was the first to stand of those seated, "Is that all then? I'd like to get out of here so I can figure out what my 'basic necessities' will be for this 'vacation'."

"If there are no further questions," Vince sent a look around the room, waiting until heads nodded in confirmation. "Then you're dismissed. Remember, to report back here on Thursday. No later than 9: 00 a.m. you'll have bus transportation to New York City."

They remaining stood then, all subsequently exiting the office in a general state of shock. Yes, the vacation was nice, but like this? It really would've been better if the vacation was on their own terms. Added to that, not being able to compete for six months .. That could only be bad for their in-ring careers in the long run. But, given the alternative, it was either accept the vacation or look for other employment opportunities. As it were, Lita and Trish ended up going back to the airport with Dawn. The three Diva's ended up hanging around with Torrie and Victoria while they waited for their respective flights. And while they waited, they discussed the upcoming six months. Yes, being away from the wrestling world would be different. Definitely a change, but they couldn't decide if it was a change for the better or a change for the worse. Of course, they still had to tote the scripts along with them, so really the only thing that would be changing was no wrestling. To Torrie and Dawn that didn't weigh in as a major factor, but to Victoria, Lita and Trish it certainly did. Whatever the case, by the time they were all settled on their respective flights to home, the five came to one conclusion: if anything, this vacation would be nothing short of interesting.
