Chapter One: Audition

A girl of only twenty-one years stood within a crowd of thousands of girls, waiting for her audition for the 2005 RAW Diva Search Contest of the WWE. She flicked her ebony hair over her shoulder as she checked her watch for the hundredth time in just fifteen minutes.

She heard whispering behind her.

"Oh my god, like she actually expects to make it in this, look at her," a blonde girl was whispering to her friends.

She turned around, "what's your problem?" she asked the girl.

The girl laughed with her friends, "you, your expecting to make it into the finalists when your dead ugly and are dressed like that."

She looked down at her clothes, she was wearing a army material Chain Gang shirt and black loose baggy bants, she had ten or so bangles on either wrist and was wearing black boots on her feet. Finally, she wore a Legend Killer Tour Cap backwards on top of her ebony hair.

She brought her eyes back up to meet the girls, "Well, at least I seem to know what competition I'm entering, as for you…" she looked the girl up and down, "you look like your entering 'America's Next Top Model' you do realise this is a competition to become a Diva in a Wrestling business."

The girl laughed, "oh, you think your so cool cause you probably borrowed some of your brother's merchandise."

She rolled her eyes, "sure I did. I bet you couldn't even tell me who the current WWE Champion is."

The girl laughed, "That's Randy Orton, duh!"

She laughed, "yeah sure he is…" The girl was pleased, "actually its Triple H and Chris Benoit is the World Heavyweight Champion."

Someone tapped her on the back, "Paris Versailles?"

She turned to see a polite security guard, "yes."

"They're ready to see you know," was all he said before he led her into a building and then into a room in which there was a small stage and four judges sitting behind a table. One of the judges was Jonathan Coachman, another was the previous years Diva Search Winner Ashley Massaro, another was Stephanie McMahon and finally Todd Grisham co-host of Sunday Night Heat and host of The WWE Experience.

"Please take the stage," Coach said to her simply.

She stepped onto the stage and the judges looked her up and down.

Ashley smiled, "It's nice to see someone come in here not dressed up just to please us, just being themselves."

Paris smiled, "thanks… I think."

Coach was looking at her application paper, "so you've never been on the front cover of a magazine, done any films or TV appearance… haven't even been in the wrestling business."

His eyes scanned the page.

"How long have you been interested in the wresting business and potentially becoming a WWE Diva?" Stephanie asked.

"It would be…" Paris thought recounting the years, "probably 17 years, maybe more."

"How old are you?" Coach asked.

"Twenty-one," Paris said simply.

"Favourite wrestlers?" Stephanie asked.

Paris laughed, "there's so many…. Well as you can see I love John Cena and Randy Orton. But I also love Matt Hardy, Shawn Micheals, Christian and Chris Jericho."

"Female wrestlers?" Ashley asked.

"Well, you," Paris said.

Ashley shook her head, "you don't have to lie if you don't like me."

Paris shook her head, "no you are one of my favourites, in last years Diva Search I rooted for you the whole way, you were more than just a pretty face, which my brother was voting on, you wanted to wrestle not make it into the business just to dance around the ring and look pretty."

Ashley smiled, "is there anyone else you like?"

Paris nodded, "Lita's been my favourite since she debuted, but last year I didn't like her for a while when it was the whole love triangle thing. I also love to watch Trish and Christy."

"Wait a second," Coach suddenly commented, "it says here you have wrestling training, who were you trained by?"

Paris nodded, "yes I was trained at Shawn Micheals Training Academy."
Coach nodded, "has he personally trained you?"

Paris nodded, "he told me I was his favourite female student."

Ashley gasped, "Are you little France?" she asked.

Riley nodded, "yeah, how did you know?"

"I was having dinner with Shawn and John one night after a show and Shawn was talking about his favourite student who he calls Little France he was telling us about how you're a really good wrestler and he's surprised you haven't got into the wrestling business already," Ashley explained.

"OK, we have to get down to the real questions now," Coach announced.

The other judges nodded.

"Why do you want to be a WWE Diva?" he asked.

"Ever since I could remember I've always watched WWE or WWF as it use to be. I've always wanted to be in the business myself. I've always dreamt of becoming the most successful female wrestler ever. My dream is to even out do the diva who I looked up to for so many years, Chyna." Paris explained, "I want to be in this business so bad, but every time I try to make it into the business I get turned down, UPW, OVW and TNA have all turned me down. I've always thought I would do what any wrestler would do and start off in the smaller businesses and work my way up to WWE. But I've never got into any of the other businesses, I always get told that they don't want a girl like me cause of the way I dress, the things I do and sometimes the way I look."

The judges nodded. They were surprised however that she had been unable to get into businesses because of her looks when she was a very pretty girl.

Coach looked at his watch, "well we'll have to round this up, we've got so many girls to see. But can you demonstrate to us just what you can do."

Paris nodded, "Um, I'm a flyer in wrestling, I prefer using the ropes to spring off and moonsault's from the top of the turnbuckle, but I'm sure I can demonstrate some stuff for you just ground moves."
"Do you want me to help you?" Ashley asked.

Paris smiled, "thankyou."

Ashley walked up to face her, "do you just want me to fight you."

Paris nodded.

Ashley grabbed her by the hair and threw her back onto the back.

When Ashley leaned over her she planted her feet on the other girls stomach and swung her over. A move that required a lot of her strength.

She leaned he weight back and flipped herself up onto her feet, another move that also need strength.

Ashley was getting to her feet slowly, when she was standing fully Paris did a flip towards her before executing a perfect head scissors.

"OK, that's enough," Coach announced.

Paris ran her hand through her hair, hoping she had made a good enough impression.

As she was being shown out of the room Coach made one last comment, "I hop you'll impress the audience as much as you impressed us during the Diva Search."

It took a moment for it to click, before she squealed and ran back and hugged each of the judges, apologising to Ashley if she had hurt her.
