Hey guys! Sorry I have not been updating when I was supposed to be. My 'Footloose' play has been keeping me busy. Figured I'd update today; I can't do it tomorrow because of the dress rehearsal, and can't on Friday because it's the final performance. Had to delete 'Happy B'day Deadman' because I couldn't come up with any more ideas. I'm putting another birthday story up in its place when Taker's 44th birthday approaches. Thanks to Danielle for reviewing! Finally, I mistakenly said the 22nd of June was the first day of summer when it was really the 20th. Sorry about the mistake!

Chapter 2: Maria's Gone!

Date: 6/23/08

Time: 10 PM

Venue: AT & T Center in San Antonio, TX

Phil was in the locker room with Maria. You see, tonight was the night of the 2008 WWE Draft. This caused all 3 rosters to emerge into one arena to see what show they'd end up on.

"Oh Phil. I really hope you'll join me on Raw tonight. I need help with getting through these last few months of my pregnancy," Maria told her husband.

Nodding doubtfully, Phil replied, " I hope I can too, but you never know what can happen."

Maria nodded too and said, "True."

They gave each other a kiss for good luck.

Out in the ring…

The World Tag Champions Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes were in tag action against Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely. Either Raw or ECW would get the next draft pick. After about 10 minutes of good – paced action, Holly and Rhodes picked up the victory over Chavo and Neely. They looked up at the Titantron and watched as the Superstars' faces were being shuffled. Finally, Phil's face showed up and his music played. Phil was now a member of Raw!

In the back…

"All right!" Phil and Maria cheered. They hugged before Phil went to the ring. Mickie and the rest of the Divas joined Maria after Phil left.

"Hey Ria. Why do you look so excited?" Melina asked.

"Is it because you're going to give birth right now?" Ashley wondered.

"It's about time too. You're getting really chubby," Beth pointed out.

"Beth! Why do you have to be so damn honest all the time?" Mickie cried out at her rival.

Shrugging, Beth said, "I'm just saying."

"No. Phil is joining me on Raw!" Maria cried out excitedly.

All of the Divas screamed happily and hugged.

"That's great! That way you and Phil can really bond before your baby boy comes," said Candice.

Later that night…

Phil was in action that night in a tri – branded Battle Royal for the right to earn the final draft picks. He was partnered with Batista, Kane, Triple H and John Cena. Team Smackdown had Adam, Jeff, MVP, Khali and Big Show. ECW had Chavo, Shelton Benjamin, Morrison, Miz and Matt Hardy.

Later in the Battle Royal, Phil tried to hang on, but was ultimately eliminated. He went to the back to watch the rest of the Battle Royal, which was ultimately won by Adam. Triple H and Mr. Kennedy were on Smackdown because of the win. Phil nodded his head at the picks and went to his locker room.

Even later that night…

Phil walked into his locker room, expecting Maria to be waiting for him. Except, Maria wasn't there. She was gone!

"Maria?" Phil asked, concerned. He searched the locker room. No Maria. He searched the hallway. No Maria. He peeked in the Divas locker room. No Maria.

"Damn it!" Phil screamed. Then he thought, "Kevin! I bet he has something to do with this!" He then left to go home. He knew he had to make a phone call. He needed help finding Maria and fast!

All right, there's the only update on this story you'll be getting for a while because of the play. I'll update again as soon as it's all over. I'll let you know!
