Chapter Two: New Plans
A/N: Put back in Caria's POV. Please review.
I had calmed down after a little bit. I was still thinking about Jeff and Matt. I knew that Matt had chewed him out pretty good, but I don't think it was going to work. Jeff had already made up his mind. I didn't want to go through this same pain again.
Bree opened up the door to her and Matt's hotel room. Inside, I saw a bunch of people. Paul London, Shannon Moore, Jimmy Wang Yang, Gregory Helms and Ashley Massaro.
"Hey guys." Bree greeted the group.
They responded with 'hey''s and other comments of their own.
"Did you get the movies?" Paul asked.
"Yep." she said. "I got 'I Now Pronounce You: Chuck And Larry', and '1408'."
"Oh sweet! I've been dying to see Chuck and Larry." Ashley said excitedly.
Shannon happened to be the first one to notice me. "Hey Caria, how's it going?"
"So-so..." I replied quietly.
"Hey, what's wrong hun', why do you look so bummed out?" Ashley asked. Ugh, I was hoping not.
But I wasn't the one that spoke first, Bree answered for me. She knew I wasn't in the best mood to talk about it.
"Jeff's being an idiot again." she said.
The blonde female scoffed. "Tch, typical. What'd he do this time?"
"I'd rather not talk about it." I told her. "Sorry."
She understood. "Alright, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get into your business."
"It's cool." I forgave her.
"Speaking of Hardy brothers, where's the older one?" Greg asked.
"Probably still yelling at Jeff." said Bree. "When we found out about him and Caria, Matt stepped in. He got pissed and said that he'd take care of the situation."
"He's most likely getting an ear full." Ashley said. Good, I hope he does.
"Knowing Matt, pretty much." Shannon agreed.
"Eh, but let's just forget about it and watch the movies." Bree changed the subject.
Everyone agreed as we put one of the tapes in and turned off the lights to watch it. Shortly afterwards, Matt had arrived back over to us. He looked still a little irritated, but more of calming down. He told us about how he talked to Jeff, but he was still being stubborn and thick-headed.
Matt then gave me a look of hope. "Even if it does end, it'll be okay. No matter what."
I half-smiled. "Yeah..."
If it did seem like it, why do I feel like he's wrong in some way?
A couple days later, I was preparing for my match against Candice and Mickie with Melina. I was in my locker room, finishing up dressing and stretching out all my muscles. That's when I heard a knock at my door.
"It's open." I let the guest in.
Entering in, I saw it was my upcoming, tag-team partner.
"Hey chic, what's up?" I greeted the Latina.
"Nothing. You ready?" she asked me.
I stood up to meet face-to-face with her. "Yeah, you?"
Melina nodded. "Yeah. But Stephanie told me to tell you that after the match to head to her office."
I looked concerned. "Something happen? Am I in trouble?"
She shrugged. "No, well--I'm not really sure. I don't think so though."
"Alright, thanks. Let's go." I said, exiting with her to the curtains.
"And here are your winners, Melina and Caria Hardy!"
Melina and I stood above the two other Divas lying unconcious on the mat. I took a hold of her wrist and rose it up in the air. Her entrance was playing throughout the arena. We slipped out of the ring as soon as the cameras cut to commercial.
"Great job Melina." I smiled, giving her a pat on the back.
She was out of breath. "You too."
Going backstage, the two of us split ways as she headed to the Women's Locker Room and I went to see Stephanie. It was still playing through my mind what she wanted to see me for. I scanned my memory to see if there was anything that I might of done wrong.
Nope.
Nothing.
I don't misbehave that often, mostly because of fear of being fired. I loved my job. I wasn't going to waste it by being stupid.
Knocking on her door, I waited for a response from the McMahon daughter.
"Come in."
I pressed down on the knob and opened the door. Inside, I saw the billion dollar princess sitting at her desk. Her husband Hunter Levesque was sitting with Shawn Michaels on the right side of the room. On the left was Matt, Shannon and Jimmy Wang.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Sit down Caria." Stephanie instructed.
In my gut, I felt a hint of nervousness hitting me.
"Alright." I said quietly, obeying. I pulled up the remaining chair in the middle and sat down in it.
"I've called you few here today to tell you about a couple storylines the writers have come up with." she informed us. "The first one has to do with DX. We will have Caria join up with you two. We're looking at her as possibly the new Chyna."
"Her?" Hunter chuckled. "That tiny, little thing? But Jo' was like Beth Phoenix's sixe; like amazon size."
Shawn agreed. "Tchyeah she was!"
I laughed. "Thanks guys."
"Not much size wise, but just having a female in DX." Stephanie explained. "The fans already love you, so we'll see how they like a chic with the both of you."
"So where do we come in?" Matt asked.
The McMahon looked over to him. "If this doesn't work, then when the Draft comes around, which is pretty soon here, then we'll switch her over to Smackdown! and team you up with you three. But also, we're thinking of her adding to Smackdown! later as well. May be."
"Is that?" Shawn asked.
"Oh!" Stephanie remembered. "There will also be a Caria-Shawn love story. If you don't mind."
My eyes bugged.
WHAT.
"Excuse me?" Shawn and I said in unison.
"Yeah, if it's alright with you two." Stephanie said.
"I got a wife." The Arizona man reminded her.
"And I'm in the middle of a divorce." I said.
Stephanie looked at me. "What? What happened with you and Jeff?"
Shawn cleared his throat.
He glanced at him and then looked back at the brunette woman. What did I miss? I would've thought he would of told Hunter and then he would of told her. Er.. okay?
"I found out that he was leaving me for Candice Michelle." I confessed.
She gave me the sympathetic eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry about that hun. I really am."
"Thanks." I replied, simply.
"I know it'll be very difficult for the two of you, but it won't last long. Give it two to three months. That's all I'm asking." Stephanie barganed.
I sighed, quietly. "Fine."
"Alright." Shawn followed.
