Chapter 3

That night, AJ and Mickie invited Maria and Candice to their hotel room for some girls' time, while they were chatting about their training session with the Guns...

"I had absolutely no idea he was signed to the WWE!" AJ explained, telling them the story of earlier. "You girls should've seen them in action, they're AMAZING! Especially Alex." she giggled. Every time she even said his name, she couldn't help but to blush.

"You girls also should've seen the look on her face. She looked like a lovesick puppy the entire time." replied Mickie.

"Did not!" she argued.

"Wow, AJ, you really have the hots for this guy, don't you?" Maria asked, surprised.

"I do. Ok, I know this sounds clichéd, but every time he comes near me or I'm near him, I suddenly feel so weak and fluttery, like there are butterflies in my stomach. What does that mean?" she asked. "I barely know this guy, yet I feel like I'm going crazy whenever we're together."

"Well, why don't you and Alex spend some quality time together and get to know one another?" suggested Candice. "That's what Randy and I did before we started dating."

She shrugged. "I dunno..." she said shyly.

"You never know until you try, April!" she tried to convince her.

"I appreciate the concern, but maybe we're worrying for nothing. After all, someone like him is WAY too good for someone like me." she said sadly, shaking her head.

The three looked at her, concerned.

"BUT, enough about me, I also have a feeling that his buddy Chris has a thing for Mickie." she changed the subject, smiling.

"Ooh, REALLY?" Maria asked, intrigued. "Spill!"

"Please, he and I just met. Actually, he met me by eying me down like a piece of steak and was all, 'Hey, gorgeous. How YOU doin?'" she imitated him in a deep voice. "I run into guys like him all the time. I doubt he's any different."

"Oh, come on, Mickie, he's funny and seems really nice." replied AJ. "Give him a chance."

She thought for a moment. "Hmm...maybe if the myth that the world is ending in 2012 is wrong, then I'll celebrate by marrying him." she said sarcastically. "I'll even have his love child!"

"But Mickie, you need a guy and you know it!" exclaimed Candice. "Remember your last breakup with-"

"Look, I don't need a guy to live my life. I'm perfectly fine being single and independent. Now enough about me and let's all get some sleep, so night, girlies!" she said, climbing into her bed.

"Jeez, ok, thanks for shoving us out." Maria scoffed jokingly as she and Candice grabbed their things. "Nightie night!"

"Night-Good night!" they called back as AJ climbed into her bed and Candice and Maria headed off.

When Mickie turned the light off and the girls were about to sleep, AJ called, "Chris and Mickie, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G-"

"Shut up!" she laughed, throwing a pillow at her. "Go to sleep and start dreaming about Shelley."

"Ok, ok!" the tiny Diva smiled, closing her eyes as the first image in her head was of her new friend and crush, Alex. But soon after that, Natalya's words from earlier buzzed through her mind: "Look, Barbies. You two better just watch out before somebody more 'Pin Up Strong' gets to those hotties first." AJ shook the thought out of her head and sighed, hoping that they really wouldn't go after him. Maybe they were just trying to scare her. At least, she hoped.

...

Meanwhile in the Guns' hotel room that they were sharing, Alex and Chris were both watching Metalpocolypse on TV. Chris turned to look at Alex and noticed that he was pretty quiet ever since the training session. "Yo, Shelley?"

"Hmm?"

"Any reason why you've been looking like a lovesick idiot since we left training with the girls?" he asked.

"I can't stop thinking about her, man." replied Alex. "I had absolutely no clue that someone like her was in the wrestling business!"

"What makes you say that?"

"She's just so tiny, and innocent, and had this adorable, geeky charm to her." he said, smiling.

Chris smiled along and chuckled. He'd never seen his friend like this before. "Listen to you, you big softie! We're supposed to be Machine Guns, not water guns."

"I don't care if I was freaking pixie dust! I think I'm falling hard for this girl, Sabin." he replied.

"Well, then as your best friend, I demand that you hook up with her immediately." Chris said surely.

"I just met her yesterday!"

"So? I meet girls every night of the week, get laid, and move on." he shrugged.

Alex looked at him, puzzled. "You know, you're such a bad influence for both me and the little children."

"Well, what the hell do children have to do with any of this? And don't turn this on me, you and AJ NEED to spend some alone time together, y'know, get to know each other." replied the Detroit native.

"I'd love to, but what if she doesn't like the lifestyle that we follow?" he asked.

"Shelley, you worry too damn much. There's only one way to find out if she wants you, and you're not gonna find out by just sitting around on your lazy ass and moping." replied Chris.

He turned to him. "Like you're just sitting around on your lazy ass, watching Metalpocolypse with me instead of going after Mickie?" he asked back.

Sabin paused for a moment. "That's different. You see, Mickie had her first taste of the Chrismeister, and you know that after having one taste of me, you just can't stop." he explained, proud of himself.

"What the HELL are you talking about, man?" Alex asked, confused.

"...I don't know. But nevertheless! Mickie will come back to me, because the charm always gets the chicks." the X-Division star finished.

"Yet that charm of yours leaves you stuck here with me in the dark watching Fuse on TV." Shelley announced.

Annoyed, he threw a sock at him. "At least we can be lonely together. Why don't you look on the damn bright side of life?" he muttered, pouting.

...

Now, it was one week later since the Guns' joined the Raw roster, and this particular night was important for them because it was the night of their debut. In their new locker room, MCMG were preparing for their match...

"Can you believe this, dude? Our official first day on Monday Night Raw." Alex said with a smile, lacing up his boots.

"Yeah, well we can't screw this match up. Everyone knows that first impressions matter the most. I know from experience." replied Chris with a sly smile.

"You know, Sabin, what you do in bed is completely different from the real world, ok? Set your facts straight." he said surely.

"Listen, turdmunch, what I do in bed is none of your damn business, ok?" he demanded, playfully shoving him.

"Look, I don't give a shit what you do in bed, and who the hell are you calling a turdmunch, BUNGHOLE?" Alex cried back, shoving him in return.

"Why are you even talking about what I do in bed, ASSWIPE?" he demanded in return, returning the shove. "You're just jealous that I can last longer getting laid than you ever could."

"YOU LIE! I'm a God in bed, A GOD! And you know it!" Shelley cried back. "Besides, I can last a lot longer than 30 seconds."

He gasped in shock. "What, are you spying on me? Pulling an R. Kelly and hiding in the closet?"

"Uh...guys?" a voice asked slowly.

Realizing that AJ and Mickie were there and probably heard the entire conversation, they slowly turned around and greeted them. "...Hello!"

"Should we leave so that you two can continue your Man-Date?" asked Mickie.

"No, no, sweet Mickie, I'm glad that you decided to visit the Chrismeister. You're looking gorgeous tonight, by the way." Chris said, eying her up and down.

She managed to smile. "Thanks, I guess. You...you don't look so bad yourself." she chuckled, secretly realizing that in his edgy ring attire, he looked pretty damn hot.

"Thanks!"

They looked at one another.

"Wanna have a quickie in the closet before we head out?" he asked quickly.

"OH!" Mickie scoffed, crossing her arms.

"Ok then! Anyways, guys, we just came here to wish you two good luck tonight." announced AJ. "Especially you, Alex."

"Thanks, April. I think that hearing it from you will bring us the best of luck tonight." he replied, taking her hand and looking into her hazel eyes.

The two stood frozen in time, until Mickie snapped AJ out of it. "Ok, I'd hate to break up this little love fest, but we gotta let them prepare, not to mention that we have a match tonight, too." she announced.

"Ok, ok, Micks! We'll be watching you guys!" she called to the boys.

Mickie looked towards Chris again when he said, "Well, if we can't have a quickie, couldn't you at least give me a good luck kiss?"

She thought for a moment before she smiled. "Ok."

He grinned and leaned in to kiss her, before she slyly turned her head away at the last second. "Only in your dreams, Sabin." she seductively whispered to him before she and AJ headed off. Although he didn't get a kiss, Chris stared in her direction with a distracted look plastered on his face.

"Uh, Sabin?" asked Alex. "Now YOU look like the lovesick idiot!"

"Did you hear that, Shelley? She thinks I'm dreamy..." he said with a glazed look in the eyes and a crooked smile.

He chuckled at his friend's antics. "Put your tongue back in your mouth, dude, we got a match to go to. C'mon." he said, leading him out.
