This is a story that I wrote close to five years ago so it's pretty much been sitting around collecting dust. I would classify it as your standard love story. It's almost idealist in the sense that we all have challenges and obstacles to overcome and it would be great if we had someone in our lives that we could count on through thick and thin. It has a few twists here and there. It's up to you to decide whether they're major or not.

This particular story involves my character, The Duchess, and Evolution (I told you I've been sitting on this story for a while). The main focus revolves around the main characters, The Duchess and Batista. Minor characters are the other three members of Evolution. Test and Christian also play minor roles.

And now with the obligatory statement: I DO NOT, nor claim to own any character(s) in this fictional story other than Duchess.


He had known her for about a year now. And for the past three months he had really taken a deeper look at her. He would find himself gazing at her a little longer than normal. He would ask her

opinion about this move or that move, even though he was the professional wrestler. His questions never made her suspicious, after all, she was Evolution's manager and their best interests were her best interests.

She was always encouraging them. She would negotiate for them. If any of them even looked like they were slightly injured she'd sweet talk them into getting checked out. At first she was one of the reasons why work was more enjoyable and fun. But now she was the reason why the earth rotated on its axis. This woman made his heart beat faster. She was The Duchess.

Duchess was not your average diva. Duchess had brown hair and brown eyes. She was 5'5" and weighed140 lbs. She was built like all the other divas, but her attributes didn't require surgery. She dressed sexily, but never trashy. At first very few fans understood the concept, but every week she drew more and more admirers. She cut great promos with her chameleon-like personality. Sometimes she was a sweet southern girl, at others she was the snootiest bitch you'd ever hope to meet or she would cut loose and give you her ghetto attitude. It didn't matter from one week to the next. The fans ate it up. They never knew who would show up ringside or on the Titantron™. She really didn't have to reach far for her character, it was pretty much her. It was an absolute sight to see this woman threaten rivals, especially the male ones. At times you had to wonder if she actually made a few of the guys cry because of some of the things she said. As manager she would pull sneak attacks when the referee wasn't looking. Needless to say, she dished out a lot of low-blows. Some fans even brought signs that read "Bring out Duchess Pit-bull" or "You're no longer a man, she's got 'em in her hand."

When she was first brought on board with the WWE™, Ric Flair spotted her straight out of the chute. He conferred with his partners in Evolution. They reluctantly accepted her. It wasn't long after that they all began to wonder why they would have ever said no. Evolution gained even more popularity because of her. And ratings on Raw were through the roof.

She was introduced to the group by her real name, Catherine, but the guys generally called her Catt. Before her first appearance the guys sat down to figure out a stage name for her. After getting to know her for a couple of weeks they decided on Duchess. She in turn called them all Mr. (insert last name here) when on camera and by their given names backstage, except for him. She always called him "Baba". Very few others could get away with that, but she definitely could. It was surreal to him when she called him that. People don't usually call big, tall, muscular men sweet little names like that. Even so, he loved it.
