**BELLE'S POV**


BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! It was nine o'clock, and despite how much I hated my alarm clock, I was pleased. I'd never wanted to be the girl who solely relied on an alarm clock, and i'd never really needed to before. But I figured that while I was still getting used to a greater deal of flying and driving, it was better off to use one.

"Mike?" I called out. After a few days of separation, my brother and I were rooming together again before our show. After last week's RAW taping, I'd flown home to my apartment in Florida, whilst Mike had to attend an autograph signing and a few photoshoots, meaning he'd come home two days later than I had. Then we'd had to fly out to Los Angeles yet again.

For some strange reason, I couldn't stop thinking about the short conversation I'd had with Daniel last week after my short appearance. The conversation had felt simple enough, but if it were really so simple, why was it glued to the inside of my brain? I had no clue. I decided to pull out my phone and text Eve. As much as I adored Maryse and was close with her, I felt strange even thinking of telling her everything - though I couldn't quite figure out why. So it had to be Eve.

"Hey Eve, Need to talk 2 u ASAP. Make sure U R Divas locker room at 3:30pm, Cant Wait! xx Belle" I slowly typed into my iPhone before hitting the "Send" button. I sat cross-legged on the end of my bed now, holding my phone in my hands, which were almost numb from my nervousness. I almost screamed out in shock when Mike came up and tapped my shoulder.

"Belle? Who you texting?" he asked boisterously. I knew he wasn't trying to be an asshole but I snapped anyway, hissing at him unintelligibly. He held up both hands in the air and backed away, one eyebrow raised. "Relax sis, this ain't some FBI shit" he joked, shaking his head.

"Oh... i was texting Eve..." I replied lamely, tossing my phone haphazardly into my purse. I looked up at him, studying his face curiously. It was obvious he believed me, but he also looked a little wary, as if he were worried about me. I didn't even know why I was being so paranoid. It wasn't as if Daniel were really his mortal enemy - I still found it hard to believe anybody could truly hate another human being so much. "He's just really good at acting", I thought, sighing softly.

"So what's our schedule for today?" I asked, out of a desire to change the subject before I had a heart attack. He dragged me over to the table and pushed me into the only other chair, then said "First, you're gonna eat breakfast... Then we're going to the gym to train for your match tonight, and after that we're having lunch an heading to the arena. Sound good?", pushing a bowl of cereal over to me. I lunged for the spoon and started shoveling my breakfast into my mouth, only pausing to nod at Mike in response.

After I'd changed into my workout gear a while later, I sat down on the couch, trying not to get too nervous about tonight. Not only would i be having my debut match, but my opponent was none other than Gail Kim. The mere thought of it sent awful shivers down my spine; I was so nervous, and yet so eager. I knew how talented she was in the ring and when I went out to face her I knew I had to be my absolute best if I wanted to make a good impression on the crowd.

I was silent the whole time as Mike drove us to the gym we'd be practicing in. As soon as we reached a room with a wrestling ring set up inside it, I dropped my backpack inside and with a running start, slid into the ring effortlessly. I then jumped up onto the ropes, pointing up at the sky with both hands without so much as wobbling gently. Backflipping off the ropes and landing into a perfect split, i was more than excited.

Mike and I spent about two hours practicing the moves I'd decided to use as my signature moves: bridging spears, swinging neckbreakers, sitout facebusters, enzuigiri kicks and so on. He also used a few of his own moves on me in return. As we went over the Skull-Crushing Finale for the billionth time, I knew even now that I was ready. I had the strength, I had the speed, and I had the energy. Whatever Gail decided to throw at me tonight, I could take it and then some. And I would definitely dish it out in return.


It was edging on 3:30pm when Mike and I reached the arena. Everybody else was either already there or arriving, so the walk to our respective locker rooms wasn't completely quiet. Mike was a bit edgy and asked every single person we passed where Maryse was, a question nobody seemed able to answer. "Dude, calm down... I'll probably see her soon, I'll tell her you wanted to see her..." I offered, trying not to laugh. It was almost like he was nervous, which seemed like an odd possibility; the two of them adored each other equally and were more than committed.

Eventually we found her, much to my relief. Catching up with Eve could not come fast enough. I made my way to the Divas locker room alone, and as soon as I knocked on the door, Eve opened it and dragged me in. The only other Divas inside so far were Melina, Jillian and Gail, all of whom waved at me; Gail even gave me a thumbs up.

"So what's the big deal Miss Miz?" Eve asked kindly, referring to the text message I'd sent earlier today. After making sure the others weren't listening, I filled her in on what had happened after the promo Mike, Alex and I had done last week. At the end of my little spiel, Eve was giggling girlishly, much like I had done when attempting sleep that night. "Oh my gosh, he so likes you!" she crooned, sending me into a fit of giggles as I shook my head, blushing madly.

"He doesn't like me as any more than a friend, if that's what you mean" I whispered, resisting the urge to frown. The idea that Daniel Bryan had any sort of non-platonic feelings for me felt rather strange, like something I didn't believe. "He was just being a gentleman, Eve, I'm sure he's not the only one he's done that to" I added, looking down. I had a feeling I was right; how could I be the standout girl when he barely knew me?

"No, Belle, he hasn't... As far as I know all he's done is shake hands, and he won't even go near Maryse" Eve whispered softly, leaving me with an awfully big smile. He hadn't gone so far as to kiss anyone else's hand, it had only been me. Of course I still refused to think he had feelings for me, but it made me smile nonetheless.

After Eve and I had discussed Daniel to death, we all stayed in the locker room, passing around snacks, reading fashion magazines, and picking outfits. Maryse walked in eventually and Eve was trying not to giggle, obviously recalling what she'd said before. I stayed in the room without leaving even once, as the scripts were delivered to our door. I flipped through mine eagerly to see what I was doing: cutting another promo with Mike, accompanying him to his match with John Cena, and then my match was straight after the ad break. Tonight was going to be one hell of a night, that was for sure.
