Author's Note: Yeah I kinda forgot this portion. So bold is still Rayne/River thoughts. Italics still announcer. Morrison's still hot. Maria's still bad ass. Kelly Kelly's still evil but well get to that later. Cena's still a douche. Also remember I use River and Rayne interchangeably so don't get confused.
Disclaimer: I don't own the WWE, the songs or the wrestlers... though i wouldn't mind owning Morrison... jk. (maybe) I do own Rayne and she's much nicer than most of my characters as she doesn't haunt my dreams.
READ AND REVIEW
Chapter 2 Free-flowing
Rayne was dressed in her strawberry blonde wig. It had a totally straight cut and bangs. It looked natural though and she pinned it to her hair to keep it on. This wasn't the Superstar Rayne, this was the Diva River. She couldn't use her strength in sliding; she was using her much weaker high-flying moves to keep from being discovered. She gulped as she passed Cena, hoping he wouldn't recognize her. He grabbed her ass and she kicked him in the shin. (What a dick, I'm glad I kicked his ass.) Knowing now that she wouldn't be recognized, she entered the women's locker room and changed into a dark green tank top and black yoga pants. Maria noticed her and walked over.
"You're the new girl… River, right?" Maria asked, extending her hand.
"Yeah, I'm nervous to be going against Melina on my second day, she looks tough." Rayne said, shaking Maria's hand weakly.
"You'll do great, but I think you need a new wardrobe." Maria said, laughing a little.
"I'm not really the kind of girl who knows much about clothes." Rayne responded, blushing.
"Just let me get your measurements and I can make sure you have pretty clothes for your next match." Maria said, grinning.
"You'd do that? Thanks." Rayne said, gratefully.
"It's no trouble, but I think you're about to go on, so I'll measure you after, ok?" Maria said, pushing her to the door and waving good luck, as "Before He Cheats," played through the arena.
"Introducing to the Ring, hailing from Los Angeles, California, RIVERRR!!" (I've never even been to L.A. before…)
River came skipping down the ramp, slapping hands with fans, and stopping by one lucky little boy kissing him on the cheek. She walked up the steel steps and got into the ring and waited in the corner for her opponent.
"Paparazzi" blared thorough the arena as Melina came out, her photographers snapping pictures at every moment, as she posed and made her way down the ramp. Melina did her usual split into the ring, as she was announced.
"Introducing to the ring, hailing also from Los Angeles, the Women's Champion, MELINAAAA!!!"
Both women shook themselves out and the referee rang the bell. Both women grappled in the center of the ring, when River kicked Melina in the side. Melina Irish Whipped River into the turnbuckle where River jumped up and performed a perfect cross-body shot onto an unsuspecting Melina. River attempted to pin Melina, but, unlike Cena, Melina wouldn't go down so easily and kicked out before the referee counted one. There was a definite shift in the momentum now. Melina grabbed a fistful of River's wig and kicks her in the stomach. She let out a scream and hit River with her signature move. She went for the pin getting the 3 count and picking up the win. (That screaming bitch almost exposed me. I need to fix that problem.) While Melina was pumping up the fans, River left the ring and went backstage.
A camera crew followed her and showed her accidently bumping into John Morrison. They both laughed and had a moment of each going the same way to get around each other before finally managing to work out a good system. This exchanged prompted the creative team to start drawing plans for a relationship, if River stayed long enough for any plot to develop. River then ran into Teddy Long after escaping the cameras.
"Listen River, you aren't being very successful. You don't look like you put effort into your look and you aren't a good enough competitor to stay." Teddy Long said, threateningly.
"Hey, I pulled off a perfect cross-body, most divas can't do that." River responded, annoyed.
"Ok well you've got one week to shape up. Were putting you against Kelly Kelly next week and unless you are gorgeous, you're gone." Teddy Long said, curtly, as he exited.
Maria saw what happened and walked up to River, her head filling with new ideas. "I heard what Teddy said, are you ok?" She asked, concerned.
"Not really, I'm a little screwed." River said, near tears.
"I'll help you with your clothes and we'll hit a salon and do something better with your hair. It'll be a great girl's day." Maria said, trying to cheer River up.
"I have a problem with that though. Can I tell you something that you can't tell anyone?" River asked, really nervous.
"Uh… sure." Maria said, confused.
"This is a wig… I'm Rayne, I use River as a front to be a Diva too, so I don't lose my little femininity." Rayne said, almost breaking down.
"I know a good wigmaker. I'll design the perfect wig and have her send it to us by next week. I'll ask if she knows any way to make sure that it won't get ripped off, since us Divas hair pull more than we should." Maria said, giving Rayne a hug. Rayne was totally relieved that she found someone who could help her through this.
