The blonde haired Canada native made her way towards the diva locker room. She was frustrated and bored. She had just been informed by the boss that Renee had been suspended so La Resistance weren't going to be making their debut anytime soon. For the time being she was going to have to stick to looking nice in a bath tub. It frustrated her because she wanted more then anything to get out there and show everyone what she could do given half the chance. She was bored because no match meant no planning to do and they were still taping ECW so she couldn't do any more segments of her own until the 'extreme' crew were done with whatever it was the needed to do.
"Damn" she said to herself. Once again she had managed to get herself lost. She didn't have all that much luck remembering where things were as it was. It didn't help that every week they were in a different arena. Spotting a member if the backstage crew she cleared her throat.
"Excuse me" she said "I'm a little lost. I was wondering if you could point me towards the diva locker room?" she gave him her best fake smile to sweeten the deal.
"Sure. Head that way" he replied pointing down a hallway "It's just past the canteen. You can't miss it." Thanking him with another smile she started towards the direction he told her to go.
"Oh, and by the way" he called after her "Watch out for the New Breed. I saw them hanging around here earlier and they aren't the friendliest bunch. Best to avoid them if you can"
"Thanks for the concern but I'll be fine. Sylvain's probably around somewhere to, he'll save me if I get into trouble I can't get myself out of." And with that she continued her search for the locker room.

After five minutes of walking up and down the corridor she had been told to follow she was still none the wiser to where she was meant to go. She had found the canteen with relative ease but couldn't find the locker room. Flicking her golden hair off her face she decided her best course of action was to find somebody else. Hopefully not the same person or he'd think she was a real ditz. Stopping for a second and looking in both directions she saw Ariel coming out of the canteen. She called out to her but she ignored it or didn't hear and carried on walking.
"She's gotta change somewhere" she said to herself deciding to follow her. Ariel however disappeared from her view around a corner. She broke into a brisk walk to try and catch her up. As she rounded the corner she had witnessed Ariel go around she bumped into something hard. That something hard was a muscular chest belonging to Elijah Burke.
"I'm sorry I was just-" she started to explain but he cut her off
"You should watch where you're going" he said
"I know but I'm lost and I need to get to the locker room"
"I have a locker room you can go to" he said with a tone in his voice that sent a shiver down her spine. She backed into a door trying to put some distance between him and herself but he closed the gap.
"No thank you. I'd much rather go to the Diva's locker room." She said politely.
"It's no problem Mary-"
"Maryse" she corrected
"Whatever. Listen how about you come back to mine. You can make up for bumping into me like that"
"No I'd rather not" she insisted.
"It wasn't an option" he said putting his hands flat against the door either side of her body to prevent her escape. Maryse inwardly cursed herself. She should have taken the backstage guy's warning more seriously. She pressed herself as close to the door as possible hoping to see Sylvain or someone familiar from Smackdown but she knew they would all be in the gym or planning matches. The door behind her opened and she fell backwards into another person. She daren't not look at who it was, she just silently prayed it wasn't another New Breed member.
"Is there a problem here Elijah" came the voice of the guy she had fallen into. He took her arms in his hands and steadied her. She couldn't say she wasn't thankful as she was shaking like a leaf.
"No problem. Mary here was just apologising for not watching where the hell she was going and walking into me." said Burke clearly not hiding the dislike in his voice for the person who had saved her.
"Maryse" she corrected again in a small voice
"Whatever" growled Burke as he stormed off down the corridor. Maryse let out a breath she had not been aware she was holding in.
"Are you ok?" asked the voice of her saviour.
"I'm fine thank you. I'm just glad I picked the right door." she said turning towards the mystery man. When she saw who it was she couldn't help but smile. He was what she would call hot.
"Do I have something on my face?" he asked annoyed. Maryse again mentally kicked her self. She didn't realise she was staring.
"Oh, no. I'm sorry" she said looking down to her feet to hide the redness of her cheeks.
"Just be more careful next time" he said before closing the door. The diva jumped and put a hand against it to stop it closing.
"Yes?" he asked clearly not amused.
"Um, you don't know where I could find the diva's locker room do you?" she asked sheepishly. He pointed to a door on the other side of the corridor about three down from his own. It was clearly marked 'divas locker room'. She giggled nervously. "Thank you Mister, uh, Punk?"
"Your welcome" he said shutting the door in her face. She didn't take this to offence. The guy had just saved her from that creep Burke after all. She turned around and with her head held high walked across to the door she needed.
What she didn't see was C.M. Punk's door open quietly as he watched her go. He rolled his eyed and shook his head. 'Ditz' he thought to himself, but even he had to admit she was a hot ditz. He allowed himself a lopsided grin before closing the door and going back to his pre-match routine.
