A/N: For those of you wondering why I'm writing this story, my friend Lola has quit fan fiction for personal reasons and asked me to continue this story on her behalf. Sorry for any confusion.
Chapter One
It was another week of action on Smackdown. Smackdown's newest tag team, MNM, Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro and their manager, Melina Perez were preparing for their first title shot against the Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio.
"Well boys, tonight's the night." Melina said. "Our first shot at the tag team championship!"
"Yeah!" Joey said, excitedly. "Hey Nitro, you there?"
"Sorry what?" Johnny asked.
"Melina was just talking about our title shot."
"Oh yeah, great." He muttered.
"Nitro, baby, what's up?" Melina asked.
"Nothing's up. Why would there be? Tonight's the most exciting night of our careers."
"That's the spirit!" Melina grinned. "And later tonight…"
Melina was interrupted by someone's cell phone. It was Johnny's. Melina noticed his face light up as he read the caller ID.
"Hey Debs! I was just thinking about you. I wish you could be here to see this…"
Joey looked at Melina scowling. Then he had a flashback.
"I wonder what it would be like if Melina hadn't become our manager…"
FLASHBACK
"You want to get signed, you gotta have a manager."
"A manager?" Joey asked.
"That's what I said."
"But we don't have a manager." Joey confessed.
"Hey Mercury." Nitro grinned, hitting his shoulder. "What about Debs?"
"Yeah!" Joey shouted.
"Debs?"
"Debra Young, she managed a non-televised tag team." Johnny said.
"Ok. You get her to agree with the terms and sign the contract and you're on your way."

"Come on, Debs. You're our only hope!" Joey pleaded.
"I'm sorry guys but I just don't have the confidence." Debra said.
"You've done it before." Johnny reminded her.
"That was different. It wasn't televised. I'm sorry, I just can't do it."
END FLASHBACK
Melina folded her arms and tapped her foot impatiently. She sighed loudly. Joey heard her but Johnny didn't. Johnny was oblivious to everything going on around him. That was when Joey remembered the night Melina and Debra met.
FLASHBACK
"Johnny, I thought about what you said earlier…" Debra said as Johnny walked into their living room. She paused when Joey came rushing through waving a contract about. He kissed it.
"Debs, check it out. We've been signed!" He yelled joyfully.
"I thought you needed a manager. I was just gonna…"
"We did." Joey interrupted. "I'd like to introduce you to our manger, Melina Perez."
Debra's heart sank as Melina walked through the door. She was just about to agree to be their manager. She was going to do it for Johnny. Now she was too late.
END FLASHBACK
"Debs, I gotta go. We're on soon. Thanks, babe. See you soon."
Melina stared at Johnny as he said goodbye to his girlfriend.
"Debra Young. Nitro's girlfriend. The one that got there before me…well not for long. What I want I get…and what I want is Johnny Nitro!"
