Summary: A woman learns to confront her past, present and future.

A/N: Things from thischapter are taken from the August 23, 2004 episode of RAW titled, "Wedding Bell Tolls" and again please go along with the events. By the way, I apologize for the long wait of chapter two. It's just something has recently been brought to my attention and I'm working hard to rectify the current situation I'm in. Oh you probably won't be getting too many reviews or updates from me this week, because I have midterms to do and then finals and finally my Regents to get through within a one and a half month time frame. So excuse me, if I give short responses in chapter reviews.


Chapter Three

Catalina's POV

It was six o'clock when the alarm clock went off to wake Randy and I, up so we could have at least five hours to ourselves before we start making appearances today. See the marketing department fixed it so that Randy and I would spend all day today making appearances and whatnot and our first stop was at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new memorial building on 57th and Lexington in the City.

Yawning we both got up and did what we had to do for the day, and headed on our way downstairs to the lobby where we waited for Paul and Dave to meet us. Ric opted to go home to Charlotte instead of spending one of his off days in the City with us.

"Morning beautiful, did you sleep well last night?"

I rolled my eyes at Dave. "Yes, I did thank you very much."

We began walking in front of Randy and Paul who trailed a little behind us talking on their cell phones.

"So, when are you going to dump this loser and get with a real man," he joked.

I smirked, "I was thinking maybe today, if I can find a man that is."

Dave grinned, sliding an arm around my waist. "Look no further, because your savior is here."

Randy's POV

"Okay, Mom…yeah I'll tell her you said hello…no, I'm….alright, I'll talk to you later. I love you too. Buh-bye," Randy spoke, closing his cell phone.

"So where's Steph, Paul?" he asked, having seen Paul hang up at the same time as he did.

"She's over seas with Shane to discuss our having a possible show over there."

"Whoa, did she leave last night with Shane then?"

He nodded, "Yep, my wife the working girl."

I nodded and was about to say something else, when I caught the tail end of Dave and Analiese's incessant flirting.

"Trying to steal my girlfriend again, Dave?"

Dave looked back and grinned, "Don't you know it."

Shaking my head, I ran and threw an arm around Analiese. "Now you would never leave me for him, right?"

Catalina's POV

Licking my lips, I looked between Dave and Randy, and then back up at Randy again.

"Right," Randy prompted, smirking at me.

"I don't know Randy. Dave is sexy and all."

I tried to keep a straight face as the smirk on his face disappeared. "Oh really, you'd leave him for me?"

I nodded, biting my lower lip. "That's what I said. What are you going to do about it?"

Grinning like a Cheshire cat he began to case me. "I'm going to do this."

Randy chased me for two blocks before he caught me, and began to spin me around.

"Put me down," I screamed while laughing.

"You want me to go faster…okay," He laughed, spinning me around faster.

"No, I said…PUT ME DOWN," I again screamed, watching as Dave and Paul came into view again.

"Not until you say that I'm sexier than Dave is."

"Dave, please save me. He's a mad man, I tell you," I yelled out.

Smirking Dave walked up to us and took me out of Randy's grasp and into his, carrying me back to the limo.

Over his shoulder I stuck my tongue out at Randy as he began to follow us, making faces back at me.

"Now children, do you think we can go and eat now?" Paul asked, giving the three of us a mock glare.

Nodding I laid my head on Dave's shoulder and closed my eyes, as he got into the limo, Randy and Paul entering behind us.

"Baby, why are you still attached to Dave like that," asked Randy.

Shrugging I buried my head deeper into Dave's shoulder as we headed off to eat breakfast at my favorite diner in Queens, a few minutes from St. John's University.


In The Diner

"Are you absolutely positive that this place serves excellent food?" Paul asked for the hundredth time.

I looked at Paul, now aggravated. "Yes, how many times do I have to tell you, that the food here is great?"

Paul shrugged, "Sorry, it's just that I'm a little apprehensive is all."

"Paul man, trust me a year ago I was saying the same thing, but then Analiese ordered me some of their silver dollar pancakes and it was a wrap from there. Trust me it'll be fine," Randy reassured him.

Rubbing my head, I snapped my finger, watching as a waiter rushed over to us.

"Do you know if the cook has started on our order yet?"

Checking his order pad, he looked back up. "Two apple juices, two oranges juices, one order of our silver dollar pancakes, one order of bacon and eggs with sausage and two orders of chocolate chip pancakes, correct?"

I nodded and he again looked at the order pad and back up at me. "Your food should be here any minute, Ms. Reyes."

No sooner than the words had left his mouth did someone come and set the food down in front of us. Waving them both away, we began to eat.

"So Paul, how do you like the sausage?" I asked, smirking at him nodding his head.

"It's great, and I'm sorry for ever doubting you. We'll have to come here next time we're in New York."

Chuckling, I took a drink of apple juice. "So Dave, what are you and Paul going to do today?"

Shrugging he took another bite of his chocolate chip pancake breakfast. "I don't know. I was thinking we might go check out this wrestling show called New York Wrestling Connection in Deer Park, Long Island. Mick Foley seems to speak very highly of it."

"Yeah, I've been a few times. It's held in a community center, but from what I've seen they do put on some entertaining matches."

Paul looked up at us. "What about you two? I know you have that ribbon cutting ceremony, but that's about it. So what else are y'all doing?"

"Oh well Vince wants Analiese and I to appear at the New York Stock Exchange building to ring the bell with Linda and then go to some baseball game at Yankee Stadium and then tomorrow he has us doing a signing at Planet Hollywood in Times Square and I think that's it."

"Well it seems that Vince has pretty much taken two of your three days off from the two of you," Dave commented.

"Yeah, but I don't necessarily mind Dave, I mean I'd jump at any chance to interact with the fans," Randy said.

"Besides, it's only a day and a half," I added, "we'll survive."


RAW: Monday, August 23, 2004

"You know this isn't necessary, Baby."

"Yeah, we do know where the pre-RAW meeting is, Catalina."

"Good, but until I know you four are going to show up on time for every meeting, for now on you'll escorted to the ring by Shawn, Chris I, and myself," I explained."

"But Baby, you're making us look ridiculous," Randy complained.

"Yeah, well we wouldn't have to do this, is you four would've just shown up when you were supposed to. Now keep it moving, Randy, there's other people behind you."

I watched as Randy went to say something, but at the last second changed his mind. Shaking my head, I held the curtains back as one by one they marched through, Shawn, Chris and I behind them.

"Can we take seat anywhere or do we have to sit together to," Randy sarcastically asked.

I glared at him, making him shut up. "Like I said, if you would have just shown up at the meeting, we wouldn't be going through this."

Once we were all seated, they started the meeting.

"First off, Evolution, we're glad you could make it to this week's meeting. Let's try and not make what happened last week a habit, okay?"

"Yes Vince," they answered back in disdain.

"Okay, first off the agenda is Evolution. Now since I didn't get to tell you about the storyline last week, because you weren't here, I'll be telling you now," said Shane.

"Does it have to do with my being kicked out of Evolution last week on RAW?" Randy asked.

"Yes, it does," Stephanie answered. "Tonight on RAW, Hunter will issue you an ultimatum; either you give up your belt or you give up Evolution. But that's not all tonight Catalina's role will start to come into play more than usual."

"See Catalina's is Randy's girlfriend, but she's also still a member of Evolution. Although Randy is out of Evolution she will continue to still be seen with him, while also still being a full fledged member of Evolution, which Hunter, Batista and Ric don't like. So basically we're going to spend the next couple of months building up a feud between Evolution and Randy with you in the middle," said Shane.

"…which will come to a head with Hunter issuing you an ultimatum; either you drop Randy or you're kicked out of Evolution for good," Stephanie finished.

"Have you decided who I'll end up with yet?"

Stephanie shook her head. "No, we're still debating on whether you should stay with Randy or be apart of Evolution. But when we've come to a decision, we'll let you know."

Nodding I sat back in my seat, as Stephanie and Shane went on to explain some more of the storylines that would be taking place in the next couple of months and tonight's much anticipated segment that would be taking place "The Wedding From Hell."

Even now, I still don't understand what the hell the creative team was thinking when they came up with that dumbass storyline. If you ask me, I think they could've come up with something better. But hey that's how the bell tolls, I guess.

Anyway I think it's safe to say that these next few months are going to be pretty interesting, for everyone, but especially for Evolution.


Reader Responses:

Phoenix-Satori10: As I'm glad you're starting to enjoy the character of Analiese. It took me a long time to be able to develop a well rounded OC and so the simple fact that someone is complimenting me 'Analiese Reyes' is great.

XtremeDiva22: Yes sometimes you have moments…just joking with you as usual. Now that you know, hopefully you'll give me some ideas on how to slowly bring it into play, right?

randy-john-lover: I'm glad you love my story. It's no problem to review your stories either. I really do enjoy reading them. Speaking of, do you have any new ones planned yet?

justagirl8225: I'm glad you think so. Sometimes, I think I put either too little detail or too much; so hearing you as well as XtremeDiva22 comment on it, helps. Thank you for the review.

Myth: Yes some more dialogue, just for you. LOL, one of my fellow authors, loves to point out how realistic my dialogue is. I enjoyed writing Analiese's wise cracks and I'm glad you liked the 'red and black' combo she had going on. I also enjoyed writing the two way conversation that Randy has with himself; and yes you're right…sometimes Randy and Analiese do like to argue for the hell of it…sometimes.

Aph-Roh: Looks like you got your wish. I updated like you asked. Now it's your turn to update those stories of yours.

shinebright-starlight: Close…keep guessing. I'm glad I've gotten you hooked on this story.

SHAKEZUllA-OLDSKOOLA: Yes, I updated…lol. Yes, you will be finding out who her father is, though one of you apparently already knows who it is. Let's just say it's someone you'd least expect, but would expect at the same time. Don't most of us…if not all of us, wish we were Catalina?

KeeKeeBaby: I'm glad you liked the chapter and that the story holds your attention and is interesting at the same time.

baby-gurl88: I'm glad you picked this story too. As most can see, I write better on this story, than I do on "Letting Go" and I think it's because I've given myself a bit more creative control than I normally would. That and I started having someone give me their opinion on the chapter before I'd post it on the site. Now it's your turn, so update your story soon, okay…


A/N: Next chapter is going to be the actual episode of RAW. Second, I will be updating Letting Go this weekend. I feel it's time to start that story back up again.
