Chapter 1

It started out as a typical Monday afternoon. Alexis Martin was on her way to Arco Arena in Sacramento, California. She had a meeting with Stephanie McMahon about a possible promo tour. Alexis was excited as this would be her first promo tour since joining the WWE. What Alexis didn't know was who else would be going with her.

Alexis parked her car in the designated area and headed into the arena. She flashed her badge to the security guard and continued on her way to Stephanie's office. As she was walking she ran into one of her new friends, Maria Kanellis. Alexis had a little time to kill before having to be at her meeting.

"Hey Lexi!" Maria shouted.

"Ria! It's good to see you. What's up?" Alexis asked.

"Same here. Just hanging out waiting for Chris to get done training so that we can grab something to eat before the show tonight." Maria answered.

"That's cool. Don't you have a match tonight?" Alexis asked.

"Yup. Against Candice. What are you doing here so early?" Maria responded.

"I have a meeting with Stephanie in a few minutes. Something about a promo tour." Alexis answered.

"That's cool. Do you know who is going with you on this tour?" Maria asked.

"Not yet. I just can't imagine who they would pair me up with around here. Well I better get going. Can't be late." Alexis answered.

"Who knows. Alright catch ya later, Lexi." Maria responded.

"Bye, Ria." Alexis smiled as she headed over to Stephanie's office.

Alexis knocked on the door and waited for either someone to open it or tell her to come in. The door slowly opened and Paul was standing there. Paul, better known as Triple H, was Stephanie's husband.

"Hello Alexis. Please come in." Paul stated in a whisper.

"Thank you." Alexis said quietly.

After Alexis had entered the room, she saw why Paul was whispering. Stephanie had just finished feeding their daughter Murphy and the baby was quietly sleeping in her mother's arms.

"Alexis. Thank you for coming in on short notice. My father faxed me this morning and told me of the promotional tour for the new WWE book that is coming out next week. He want's you to be one half of the duo for the tour." Stephanie stated handing Alexis the fax.

"I would be happy to do it. May I ask who is going with me?" Alexis responded.

"Your traveling partner should be here shortly." Stephanie answered.

After a few moments there was another knock on the door. Paul opened the door to reveal Alexis's traveling partner. He took a seat next to Alexis and took the fax that Stephanie was handing to him. Alexis's heart skipped a beat when she saw who she would be traveling with.

"Alexis, this is Randy Orton. Randy this is your traveling partner, Alexis Martin." Stephanie told them.

"Hello." Alexis stated.

"Hi there." Randy said not even looking at her.

"Ok. I hope that you two will be a little more friendly while on tour. But lets get the details sorted out for the tour." Stephanie commented.

All Alexis could think about was that she was going to be stuck with Randy Orton for however long this tour was going to be. It's not that she didn't like Randy. It's just that he has a bad reputation backstage.

"This promo tour is part of a new storyline as well. Starting tonight you will be seen talking to each other and almost flirting. Here are your scripts for tonight. The tour will start next Monday, but all this week you both will be making appearances on ECW and Smackdown. Randy you have a match tonight against John Cena, correct?" Stephanie told them.

"Yup." Randy responded.

"Your match will take place before doing the scene backstage. Alexis, I want you to walk with Randy out into the arena and stand ringside for his match. Randy you will win the match. Alexis will be waiting for you by the stairs closest to the ramp. After your win she will take your arm and you will head backstage." Stephanie instructed them. "Now go learn your lines for tonight and please don't screw this up."

"Shouldn't be a problem." Alexis stated.

Alexis tried to get away from Randy as quickly as she could, but he was rather quick himself. He followed her to catering where she was grabbing a bottle of water and texting someone. Randy figured it was some loser of a boyfriend.

"Whatever your name is, we need to rehearse the lines for tonight." Randy stated.

"My name is Alexis. I know we do. So what's stopping you?" Alexis responded.

"You. I can't rehearse my lines without the other person involved." Randy stated slightly irritated.

"Well then pull up a seat and we can start rehearsing." Alexis stated as she sat down at a table.

Randy grabbed a bottle of water and joined her at the table. Alexis had performed in school plays so memorizing lines was easy for her. They rehearsed the lines until they both had them memorized. As they were reciting their lines to each other, Alexis's phone went off with a text from Maria.

So who is your partner in crime?

Orton.

Are you serious?

Yeah and I wish I wasn't

You are going to make a lot of Diva's jealous.

Why? Who would want him?

You're in denial.

Ria!

You are. Anything else I need to know.

We're in a new storyline together that goes along with the tour. And the tour is 3 weeks long starting next week. But the storyline starts tonight.

Fun.

Not. Talk to you later.

"Are you done texting whatever loser that is?" Randy snapped.

"Yes and why do you care who I am talking to?" Alexis snapped back.

"Whatever. I hope the loser is worth your time." Randy stated as he looked back over the script. "Great. I already hate this script."

"FYI, I was talking to Maria. And just why do you hate this script?" Alexis responded.

"Cause I'm gonna get heat from my wife about the last part on the last page." Randy stated.

Alexis flipped through the script and saw that at the end of the scene they had to kiss.

"Doesn't she know it's just a storyline?" Alexis asked nicely.

"Don't get me wrong, I love her, but she's not the brightest crayon in the box. It doesn't matter how many times I tell her its just a storyline, she just doesn't get it." Randy responded.

"I'm sorry. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about that." Alexis stated.

"No overbearing, overprotective boyfriend back home?" Randy asked.

"Nope. And we are in my hometown." Alexis stated as she stood up to go get something to eat.

"You're from Sacramento?" Randy asked.

"Yeah. Born and raised." Alexis answered as she fixed a plate of veggies and fruit and rejoined the table.

"Is that all you Diva's ever eat? Fruit and cold veggies?" Randy asked looking at her plate.

"I don't know about the others, but this is only lunch." Alexis stated. "If you are so concerned about what I eat, then why don't you join me for dinner?"

"Um, ok. You did hear me tell you that I'm married, right?" Randy responded.

"Yeah, and you have to eat sometime right? So what's the harm in having dinner with me? Plus we won't be alone." Alexis stated.

"We won't?" Randy asked

"So is that a yes or no?" Alexis responded. "No we won't be alone. And if you come with me tonight you will see for yourself."

"I guess it wouldn't kill me." Randy stated.

Alexis pulled out her phone and called her parent's house. Her younger brother answered the phone.

"Martin residence. This is Jason." Jason answered.

"Hey there. It's Lexi." she responded.

"Lexi! Mom wants to know if you're coming to dinner or not?" Jason asked.

"Tell them I will be there and I'm bringing someone with me." Alexis answered.

"Who?" Jason asked excitedly.

"You will see later. I gotta go. Bye." Alexis responded as she hung up the phone.

"So, uh, where are we going exactly?" Randy asked.

"You'll see. We'd better get ready to do this script. The show is about to start." Alexis commented.

"Right. Meet me in 20 minutes at my room." Randy stated as he headed out the door.

Alexis made her way to hers and Maria's dressing room so that she could get ready for the show. She chatted with Maria while she got dressed. She told her all about the lovely conversation she had with Randy and about their plans for that night.

"You're joking right? You're not seriously going to take him to your parents house for dinner are you?" Maria asked.

"I am very much serious. He needs to lighten up a bit. How much do you know about his wife?" Alexis responded.

"Samantha? Not a lot. She rarely ever attends shows or promo events, even when we are in their home town." Maria answered.

"Strange. Well I need to get over to his room so that we can do this script. See you after. Oh and my parents are here tonight too." Alexis stated as she headed over to Randy's room.
