Nikki stepped off the plane and went to pick up her bags, what she saw at the baggage terminal made her smile. Her old friend Mickie James was there to greet her. Nikki ran over and hugged her old tag team partner. "Girl it's been too long. How are you doing?"

"Nikki!!! I was so thrilled when I found out. I told Vince that I'd pick you up personally. You are supposed to meet with the writers in a few hours, so do you want to get settled in first?"

"Yea sure and when can catch up in the meantime. I want to know all about your nieces and nephews. I am sorry I haven't kept in touch as much as I should have."

Nikki and Mickie talked for a few hours about what was going on in each other's lives and what Nikki wanted to accomplish in the WWE. Nikki asked Mickie about all the other superstars, and asked when they'd be getting there. Mickie told her that they should be arriving the following day. Mickie told Nikki that she knew that Nikki had a great future in the WWE and couldn't wait to eventually fight her.

When Nikki met with the writers she found out that she would be fighting Victoria for her debut. However, she would be getting in an argument later on during the show with Melina. This would cause her to become a face character. Nicole was very happy with the story line, and couldn't wait to face Melina in the ring.

The Next Day

Nicole woke up the next morning when the phone rang, she picked it up, "Hello?" She said groggily.

"Oh hey is this Mickie James' room?" said a voice that Nicole had only heard on Smackdown and RAW. It was the Champ, John Cena.

"Yes. She's still asleep though." Nicole said.

"You must be the new girl that she told us about then."

"Oh yea, my name is Nicole St. James."

"She's been talking about wanting to introduce you to the group. She said we should all get together and go to a club tonight, do you think you'd like that?"

"Yes that'd be great, I'd love to meet everyone."

"That's cool." Just about that time Mickie sat up in bed yawning.

"Who's on the phone?"

Nicole mouthed Cena to her, and said into the phone, "Well Mickie just woke up so I'll hand the phone to her. It was good talking to you and thanks for the invite."

"Okay see ya later, and no problem."

"Bye."

Nicole handed the phone over to Mickie and went to get a shower. She was planning on going to the gym after lunch and a look at the clock told her it was after 11. She grabbed a quick shower and picked out some clothes that she could wear to lunch that looked really good on her. She put on some make up and went to see if Mickie was ready to go yet.

"You ready to go girl?"

"Yea and how would you feel about going to lunch with some of the guys?"

"Who?"

"Oh just John and Randy."

"I'd love that. I do look okay though right?"

"Girl, you haven't changed much. Yes you look great." Mickie laughed.

The women headed downstairs to meet the guys. Introductions were met and they set off. John was driving since they were all going to the gym afterwards. The group talked about how much fun it was going to be for Nikki and what was going on in each other's lives. Nicole didn't feel left out in the least, rather she felt as if she had known them her whole life. They treated her like an old friend, and even asked her where she wanted to eat. They all agreed on a local Chinese restaurant.

The group settled into a booth the women sitting opposite the men. They all decided to get the buffet and got up to fill their plates. "You can get more than one helping you know John." Mickie said.

"Look who's talking you usually eat 10 times more than me." John responded.

"Oh shut up." Mickie told him punching his arm playfully.

"Oww that hurt." John said jokingly.

Nikki laughed at how the two friends acted around each other and across from her John winked at her. Nicole gave him one of her most heart melting smiles. Beside her Mickie was mentally shaking her head thinking: Oh boy I can just see the future now… They'll be together yet. Nicole wasn't too sure of anything happening between her and John, but she wouldn't mind it. John on the other hand was just thinking about her smile and how it had seemed to lit up the room. He was beginning to like this new girl. Randy was oblivious to any of this seeing as how he was stuffing his face.

Randy looked up noticing how quiet it had gotten only to see the group shaking their heads at him, "What?"

"Oh nothing at all Randy dear. Nothing at all." Nicole said smiling.
