Vince was standing up, discussing everyones character direction and new storylines when someone walked through the door.The interruption came in the form of a 5'7" brown haired brown eyed young woman.
"Your late on your first day. Not a good first impression, have a seat so i can continue."
"Second impression, boss." she replied while she took a seat in the only available one, next to The Undertaker, Mark Callaway.
"Everyone this is the newest member of our smackdown roster, Courtney Moreland AKA, Sparrow . She came here from UPW and she is a rising talent that should do our womans wrestling some justice," he said talking to no one in particular. He looked down at her," As a matter a fact, it's a good thing your here because i was just getting to your first match."
She was scheduled to fight Melina in her debut match. She knew it wasn't going to be easy, especially with Nitro and Mercury at ringside to make sure Melina won. The meeting went on for a few more hours with talk about upcoming pay-per-view storylines before the restless superstars were released to go and warm-up. Mark, having been quiet the whole meeting and just getting a feel for the brown haired beauty that had taken a seat next to him, watched her as she stood, intrigued by this new woman on the roster.
He had it in his mind to go and introduce himself to her but as soon as he turned around she was gone. ' All well i'll see her tonight' with that thought he went to go get ready for his match with Big Show.
"Earth to Mark ", glen said, waving his arm in front of marks face to try and draw his attention."You wanna maybe focus man? You seem like your on another planet or something"
"Sorry i was just thinking about something." Someone to be more exact,mark thought.
"Well pay attention to what your doin' man"
"Yeah, right, sorry" he said trying to get that girl out of his head. he didnt know what was wrong with him or why he wanted to talk to her so bad. He got through his workout and went backstage, hoping he would run into her. She was no where to be found, at least not that he could see.He was frustrated and confused by her affect on him. He just kept thinking about how beautiful and different she was. She wasn't a blonde bimbo like most of the divas, she was witty and sarcastic. He wanted to know more about her, he had to get closer to her no matter what.
Smackdown started as usual , and mark watched from the back as the divas match was announced. He heard MNM's music circulating through the open halls and watched from one of the doors that went to the ringwhere no one could see him. He heard Lillian announce the debut of Sparrow and heard her music hit, Animal I Have Become, by Three Days Grace. He had figured her for more of a rock person by her edginess and the music just confirmed it. He was lost in a trance as he watched her walk down to the ring with a shit eating grin on her face that said this was no problem for her. She got into the ring and just stared Melina down.
The bell rang and the match was underway. What Mark saw shocked him. Melina slapped her...and she was laughing? her smile disappeared and she attacked, dominating the match until Nitro interfered. He hooked her leg making her trip as she went off the ropes and smak her face on the mat. Melina distracted the ref while Nitro and Mercury delivered their finishing move, the snapshot, to seal the deal 1..2..3. It was over.MNM left while courtney tried to get up cringing and swearing. She gingerly walked back to the trainer to get checked out. Mark followed closely behind her and listened to see if she was okay.
"You tweaked your neck but a few days of R and R should do the trick" the trainer, john, informed her.
"don't have a few days doc." she replied through gritted teeth.
"well i damn sure suggest you find some unless you'd like to be in a wheel chair by the time your thirty." he said firmly.
"okay,okay, i'll try."she said reluctantly.
"now stay here and rest until the end of Smackdown. Then see if you can catch a ride to the hotel cause you cant drive that motorcyle of yours with that pain and the meds i gave ya"
"yeah, yeah"
" i'll be back later to check on ya." he said.
Mark disappeared at that and went to have his match but all he wanted to do was make her feel better. he went out to the ring and tried to get the upperhand early but all he could think about was whether or not she was okay. Big Show took advantage of his distraction and took control of the match. There were times when it looked like he was coming back but that didn't last long.Finally he pulled the chokeslam from out of nowhere but his shoulder was killing him. He picked up the pin and walked to the back in pain.He smiled inwardly at the thought of being in the trainers room with her then cringed as the pain shot up his arm. Mark made it to the door and took a deep breath as he reached for the doorknob.
