The usual bubbly Mickie James was at a low, on this particular rainy day, the petite Diva didn't understand why she wasn't pumped for Raw, much less anything else that would occur that day, nor did her best friend Kelly.
As Mickie grabbed the last of her things, before heading out for the arena, the blonde diva quickly realised how Mickie's head was held low and her duffle bag was laying sloppily on her shoulder, with barely any effort to keep it up.
"Micks, you alright?" Kelly asked, watching her friend carefully. Mickie shot her head up to the slightly taller one of the two, and offered a half-hearted smile.
She merely nodded, while running a lazy hand through her partly curled locks. Kelly nodded in acknowledgment, but knew she was doing well at all, the concerned friend, let it go for now.
As they headed towards the car, Mickie handed Kelly the keys, silently asking her to drive, in return she offered a smile and unlocked the doors, allowing the two to enter the car.
"Are you sure nothing's bother you, hun?" Kelly asked her, breaking the small silence that spread across the vehicle.
"Yeah, just exhausted, I guess..." Mickie trailed off as her gaze drifted to the wet window of the passenger side.
Usually, she was the kind of person that enjoyed sunny days, but today she preferred the rainy, cloudy weather. The thought of bright sun beams killing her eyes, made her feel appreciative.
Mickie turned the dial for the radio, letting the sound of Lady Gaga blast through the car. Listening to the lyrics spread a smile on her face.
She bobbed her head to Poker Face and even sang along quietly. The spunky, care-free style of this certain artist, reminded Mickie of herself. Specific styles and genres of music could always cheer her up, that's until the car stops in the parking lot of the arena, and the music is silenced.
Her mood quickly went back to its usual place for the day, as she headed to the back of the car, to redeem her duffle bag; which contained her ring attire and things she would need to wrestle that evening.
She lent a hand, and handed Kelly's bag to her as well, the blonde smiled and mouthed her thanks, before the two headed into the large building, designated for Raw that night.
The two divas passed by several fellow wrestlers, Kelly would stop for a hug or a wave for the least, while Mickie just offered a smile.
As Mickie was about to turn the corner for the Divas Locker Room, too inpatient to wait for her Diva friend who was chatting up a conversation, she was stopped when she saw the face of a friend, John Cena.
Mickie was going to let another greeting go by with a smile, but his opened arms awaited her. She fell into his warm hug and let his strong arms grasp her tiny figure.
Without a word said between the two, they separated and Mickie mindlessly walked into the locker room, settling down, crossing her legs and leaning back on the chair.
She let out a sigh, before she realised John's sudden interest in the Diva, remembering how she felt invisible to him just yesterday, and now he was hugging her, showing the slightest bit of affection.
That is, if Mickie wasn't taking a small hug, too far.
Kelly entered the room, and shared even more hugs with the divas, as conversation started to grow, Mickie sat comfortable in the chair, resting her elbows on her knees, watching the amused Divas with a slight bit of interest.
Though the conversations grew more interesting, the most enthusiasm Mickie was able to let out was a small giggle, or a little laugh at the most.
She was more intrigued by her depression that was taking over her day. She is Mickie James, after all, she's suppose to be fun, bubbly, full of love and laughter.
Burying her head into her hands she let out a sigh while lifting her head up, to look towards a new vision. She felt the need to start her day over and that's exactly what she was gonna do. Mickie filled her mind with the usual spunk she consisted of, which was all she needed to grant the sudden passion of socialisation with her co-workers and friends.
Mickie brushed her hair out of her eyes and lifted off the seat re-gaining her jumpy-ness, she immediately joined a conversations consisting of her blonde friends, Kelly and Maryse.
"...Yah, so, we're gonna have dinner and then just hang out" Was all Mickie caught, as she walked in mid-sentence. Maryse had been explaining something to Kelly, but she wasn't sure exactly what.
"Are you in, Mickie?" Maryse asked, while pulling Mickie into a hug, which she gladly returned.
Sure, the two were not the best of friends, but they were tight. She's a good friend to Mickie, and Mickie is a good friend to her. Simple.
"What exactly would I be in for?" Mickie asked carefully, teasing a smirk.
"My birthday celebration, it's gonna be at some restaurant, we're gonna eat and then just talk and stuff. Just something fun" Maryse explained to the shorter Diva, Mickie nodded before responding with a bright smile;
"Yah, definitely, count me in" Mickie winked, while taking a look around the room. She realised a face, of a new Diva to the brand. Or, in correction, a returning Diva.
"Gail?!" Mickie spat out in shock,
Gail was tying up her boots, in preparation for her debut match. Mickie was aware of the sudden switch that took place last week, but she hasn't seen the diva in the longest time, that it caught her off guard.
Gail shot her head up, at the sudden call of her name, only to meet the bright smiling Mickie James.
"Mickie!" Gail exclaimed back, running over to hug her long-time friend. Mickie squeezed her so tightly, she felt like Gail would pop at any minute.
"How are things, I haven't talked to you in forever!" Mickie added, while the two pulled apart.
"I know, everything's good, look at you" She said, while pointing to Mickie.
"Don't be silly. You look absolutely amazing, I love your hair" Mickie complimented her, while taking some of her hair in her hand.
"It's gonna be so much fun, with you back" Mickie said, her smile never leaving her face.
"I know, we have so much catching up to do, it's unreal" Gail pitched in, Mickie couldn't help but to grab the Diva into another hug.
Things have suddenly brightened up for the diva. Though it didn't seem like it in the beginning, her day was heading towards a good direction.
A little spunk, can get you a long way.
