Starting Over

Chapter 3: Show Time

"One hour ladies and gentlemen! One hour till show time.." Triple H shouted as he walked through the corridor of the Sun Dome into the cafeteria. "Ms. Vasquez, nice to see you back! I suspect you're ready to get back in that ring.." Triple H laughed as he gave Adrianna a pat on the shoulder. "More than you know.." she chuckled. "All right well I'll leave you to it." he smiled and grabbed a coffee on his way out. Adrianna grabbed a bottle of water and started to head back to the women's locker room to change into her outfit for Monday Night Raw. "Ugh! Why are you here, don't you know you've been replaced more than once?" Eva Marie said in a snide comment. "…*sigh*…Look Little Mermaid, I don't have time for you or your bullshit. Oh and if I were you I would be a bit more careful of what I say. Think of it as a friendly heads up, Ariel.." she laughed. "My name is not Ariel!" Eva shouted. "Who the hell cares?" Aide retorted as she rounded the corner to the locker room area. "Stupid, red-headed….." Adrianna fell silent. There he was…waiting for her.

Posted up on the wall next to the entrance of the women's locker room, Randy shifted his weight around as Adrianna got closer. "I would ask you how you're feeling but I think it would be wise if didn't. Aide…we need to talk." Randy said in a low voice. Aide bit her bottom lip then snarled at Randy, "We don't have shit to talk about! In fact just stay the hell away from me.." "A.." "Don't!…Don't you dare call me Aide! You lost that right the day you left me standing at the altar you asshole!" she snapped. As her voice began to escalate, Roman was making his way down the hall. "Adrianna, listen to me.." Randy grabbed her shoulders. "Take your damn hands off of her right now, you son of a bitch!" Roman growled. He grabbed Aide around her waist and moved her behind him as he got face to face with Randy. "You don't have shit to say to her! Do you understand me?" Randy smirked and put his hands up in the air as he started to back away. "Fine. She's all yours, or Dean's hell maybe even Seth's…either way I'm good without her. You can have that bitch!" Adrianna gasped at what Randy said. By then Seth and Dean had joined Roman in enough time to hear what Randy was saying as he walked away. Seth placed a hand on Adrianna's shoulder as she turned to face him with tear-stained cheeks. "Hey now come on Aide don't cry. He doesn't deserve the satisfaction of your tears. You're better than that." Seth smiled at Adrianna as he wiped her tears away with his thumbs. "Go get dressed beautiful, we've got a show to do. And don't you worry about him." Dean said as he rubbed her back and sent her into the locker room.

("Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the longest running weekly episodic show on television, this is Monday Night Raw!")

Adrianna finished her makeup and quickly fluffed her hair as it was time for her to make her first appearance on a WWE screen in 3 long months. She pulled at her short red mini dress and huffed at her reflection in the mirror, "I probably should've tried this thing on before I packed it. It's a little short and a bit more cleavage than I wanted but whatever. I do love my red bottom heels though." "Anyway" she sighed …"show time."

Brad Maddox stood in the ring with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as he announced the match's for the night. Like the previous shows before, all 3 members of the Shield were ringside. When he was finished Stephanie McMahon took over. "Look Brad, we know you've been very busy around here on Monday Night Raw and we decided you could use an assistant. Besides it's the least we could do for such a wonderful job you've been doing around here." Stephanie motioned to the back for Brad's new assistant. The world was waiting. Adrianna took one last deep breath as she waited on the other side of the curtain for her music to hit. Once her music started everyone in the arena was surprised. As she made her way through the curtain and on to the stage, she looked down the ramp at her 3 favorite guys, The Shield. A warm smile grew across her face as she looked at them and then turned to wave at the crowd. She glided down the ramp like a sultry goddess with ease. Roman, Dean and Seth each found themselves having to control their facial expressions as they had each been blown away by her bodacious body and astonishing beauty. She flicked her long wavy black hair as she smiled and passed between Seth and Roman making her way up the stairs to enter the ring.

Triple H handed Adrianna a microphone and proceeded to clap along with Brad and Stephanie. Aide took a deep breath and brought the mic up to her full red lips, "Damn… it feels good to be back in this ring." The crowd responded wildly with a mixture of cheers, boos and numerous cat calls. "Stephanie and Triple H thank you for this opportunity. I promise either of you will not regret this. I promise to do this job with the utmost professionalism, effectiveness and efficiency." Triple H and Stephanie exited the ring and made their way up the ramp. Brad followed and turned to see if Adrianna would follow. "I'll be right there Mr. Maddox, I just need to make a brief announcement." she smirked. The camera zoomed in to get a closer look at her face. She cleared her throat, "Ladies! My fellow WWE Divas, this is just a friendly reminder to ALL of you in the back that things are about to change. For those of you that mocked me or thought that you've taken my place…" she narrowed her eyes at the camera flashing a sexy smile at the camera, "Justice…..is always just around the corner. My advice…stay alert because you never know when the gavel is going to come down on you…" she winked at the camera as she dropped the mic in the center of the ring and left.

("Ryback hitting Dolph Ziggler with Shell-Shock and this one's over! Monday Night Raw rolls on after this.")

…*Mhmm*…Adrianna glanced up from her iPad to see the Shield standing in front of her. "Mr. Ambrose, Mr. Rollins & Mr. Reigns, how may I help you?" she said. "Maddox wanted to see us.." Dean said looking her over. She smiled briefly, "Please have a seat while I let him know you all are here." "With pleasure!" Seth responded as he leaned down on to her desk. The Shield made their way over to the chairs along the wall as Adrianna went to get the GM. "He's ready for you now." she said sitting down in her chair proceeding to cross her legs. In a low husky voice Roman replied, "Thank you, Ms. Vasquez!" as they walked into Brad's office. Monday Night Raw was winding down and Eva Marie was cutting an interview promo with Renee Young just before her match with Aksana. "Eva what are your thoughts about the new assistant for our GM Brad Maddox?" "Pfft…Stephanie could've done better than Adrianna, I mean come on why use her when you have someone as beautiful as me. That's management not knowing how to use the talent they have.. Anyway I need to go prepare for my match with Aksana!"

Eva Marie's hand was raised high in victory as she celebrated her win over Aksana. She pointed and laughed as Aksana rolled out of the ring she shouted "I'm the Queen of this Ring and the number one contender! That's right no one can touch me!" …Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta…SHIELD… Eva Marie froze in the ring as the Shield's music hit and saw them descending down the stairs through the crowd. Her eyes widened with fear as the Shield surrounded the ring in their typical fashion. She slowly began backing up and turned to make a run for it when she was nearly cut in half with a spear by Adrianna. She pulled Eva up by her hair and held her close so that the camera could not get a good view of her lips and whispered into Eva Marie's ear, "You really should have chosen your words wisely tonight you little arrogant bitch!" Adrianna held Eva back by her hair and slapped her down to the mat. "You think you're better than me?! You think you can ever truly replace me in this business?!" she yelled. "Answer me Eva Marie!" she said while circling Eva's slumped over body. She grabbed Eva by her hair one last time bringing her to her feet. She drug Eva over to the ropes as Dean Ambrose handed her a microphone. With a smug grin she said calmly, "Eva…Eva honey trust me when I say this, it's nothing personal against you. I chose to make an example out of you so that all the other Divas know, if they step out of line, a swift and painful justice is always just around the corner. Unfortunately for you my dear, it's show time.." Adrianna dropped the mic and picked Eva Marie up laying her flat out in the ring with her finisher the "Brazilian Bombshell". Aide hopped out of the ring and was hoisted up in the air by all 3 members of the Shield as they walked up the ramp as Raw went off the air.

"…*sigh*… That felt good" Aide smiled as she walked backstage with her three favorite guys. "I gotta be honest, I didn't see that coming.." Roman laughed. "Yeah I'll admit that was pretty damn good Aide!" Dean said as he tapped her on her butt. "Hands off the booty Ambrose!" Adrianna chuckled as she playfully shoved Dean. Seth scooped her up into his arms, "How many times do I have to tell you guys she's mine!" he smirked. They got around to the women's locker room area and Seth put Adrianna down gently as he, Dean and Roman wiped their smiles away at the sight of Randy Orton who obviously was waiting to confront Aide. This was war…
