Alot of the character interaction and influences I take from me and my friends so it can seem more realistic and people can relate. Much love to ya.
Chapter 9:
"Are you sure you can handle me being so close to you all the time? I know I'm a really awesome person but dayum can I be annoying." Shannon giggled.
"If me and Dave didn't care so much about you and Eva, do you think we'd put ourselves through the hell of having to be in the same room as mcmahon?"
"Awww you wuv us sooo much." she said sticking her bottom lip out.
"That and the undeniable attitudes the two of you have will make you fit right in." Dave smirked and wrapped his arm around Eva's waist.
"Was that a compliment I should find flattering papi?" Eva asked poking Dave in his chest. He just smiled in response.
"So is that a yes?" John asked staring Shannon down intently. She looked into those blue eyes that seemed to plead with her to say yes. She had always had this little... ok really big desire to be out there doing her thing instead of using her only connection which she called her brain to be associated in this business. Sure she had went through hell to be working the position she was in now, but it had never really been that passionate career she dreamed about. Never really believing she could so some type of performing that she wanted to, she gave into her family's dream for her. She started into the medical field. But now here was her chance to release that built up anger. They would pay her to utilize her feistiness and that fire deep inside that told her to fight. And the best part was that she could share all this with the guy she cared so much for sitting before her. Being the person she was, she had to do this.
"Well this is a really hard desicion that should be very well thought out. I mean my career and everything is riding on this." her features contorted to portray a very pensive look. "I'm gonna have to say..." And then her features immediately brightened as she looked up at him and continued. "YES! YES! YES!" she squealed throwing herself on John and bringing them both down on the bed laughing. Her happiness at that moment could not be contained. Not even thinking about her actions, she started kissing everywhere on John's face. This made his grin become an award winning smile. Realizing what she was doing, she stopped and blushed slightly.
"Shhh...don't tell anyone." she giggled making a quiet gesture.
But then she threw all her cares away when John leaned up to capture her lips in a soft kiss. Their first, well not including the one on the plane, real kiss. After what didn't seem long enough for either of the two, Dave cleared his throat to get their attention. They parted, John looking frustrated, but Shannon smiled looking at him. She got up off of John and went over to Dave.
"Awww do you feel left out? I appreciate your help too." she giggled and gave him a peck on his cheek.
"Eva can you please keep give him some loving already? Maybe then Johnny here can get some action." Shannon smirked making them all crack up except John. John stood up and pulled Eva and Dave by an arm each and ushered them out into the door connecting to Dave's room.
"Go, go, go." was all he said making Shannon wanna die laughing as he closed the door on them.
"I didn't mean you were getting any tonight, buddy." she laughed at him making his eyes droop like a little puppy. "Don't even try it. You can't school the master." she said poking him.
"Worth a shot." he said making her hug him. She wound her hands through his arms and onto his back as he wrapped his around her waist.
"Thanks."
"No, thank you! Now I can see you in your lingerie when you fight in one of those bra and panties matches."
"Ha, ha, ha...no." she said looking up at him. He was a lot taller than her and god did she like that. "I thought I told you before, I ain't being no prissy oh god I broke a nail diva. I wanna beat bitches up." making him laugh. "Plus why would you want thousands of people seeing me only in bra and panties?"
"Good point! We'll have to have our own match one on one without an audience." he winked at her.
"Not that I'd lose to somebody and have to be seen by thousands bearing almost all of it." she said trying to ignore his last statement.
"Getting cocky already? You haven't even started training."
"When do I by the way?"
"As soon as possible. I wanted to get you and Eva in tomorrow to get signed and started."
"Sounds good to me."
The next day the two girls signed their contracts and the writers immediately set to work on possible ways to fit them in. Of course John and Dave had already contributed some suggestions. They began training with Lita immediately. They had to go on stricter diets and work out like 3 or more hours every day. It all really exhausted them beyond belief but the end result was sure to be worth it all. Shannon still worked in her medical position while in training and you couldn't get Eva away from her spot at the makeup department.
They were assigned to choose all their specifics like music, video, and get their entrance approved. They had to make decisions on anything pertaining to their images. They even had to come up with nicknames. For example John was the doctor of thuganomics and Dave was the animal. This was a lot harder than you'd think because this was really what they'd be about and how they were seen. The pressure was put on Shannon more so when the writers had decided the two girls wouldn't appear at the same time. Shannon would enter the scene first so all her decisions would have to be made quicker. Of course John and Dave tried to assist them the best they could but it was a way different thing when you were a woman.
Shannon and Eva both wanted to portray strong women just in different ways. Like John, Shannon wanted to appeal to the WWE fans as a real person who they themselves could identify with. She didn't want to come off as is she thought she was better than them so she worked that in and molded her persona. Taking into consideration the similar personalities of her and John, it was easiest to look at herself as a feminine version so to speak. Just not so gangster.
Meanwhile through all the hectic between the girls, John had started doing live performances while on the road. That took up a lot of his spare time. Although Shannon and John tried their best to take time out to hang with each other, the advancement of their relationship together was temporarily put on hold until Shannon was at least making her first appearance on RAW.
A few months into Shannon and Eva's training, Shannon was approached about her progress. Vince wanted to know if Lita thought she was ready to be put out there, even though her first appearance was not anything to do with fighting. They both agreed Shannon had soaked up everything they had taught her and had even come up with some original moves of her own. It was settled then, that she would appear on the following week's RAW episode in a beauty contest between a few of the divas. Shannon really wasn't that into the idea of her first appearance being in a beauty contest but everyone told her it's a great way for her to be introduced and get her personality out there. She reluctantly agreed and started practicing.
There was going to be a part of the contest where the judge asked each girl to show a talent they had. Obviously Shannon had decided to do a dance routine which would be an actual talent. She got Eva to help her out and put together a routine.
The night before the show Shannon was rehearsing her routine in her hotel room when there was a knock on the door. She paused the cd player and answered the door. It was John and so she let him in happily.
"You look really tired." she sympathized as he sat on the edge of her bed.
"Yeah just got finished with another show an hour ago so I'm a little drained. When are you gonna come watch me?"
"When you invite me." she smirked.
"The invitation is always opened to you babygirl. How about you come to the one in MA my home state. That show will probably be the best."
"Well if you want me there so bad to cheer you on...I guess." she said in mock exhaustion. "So you just wanted to bug me about not being at the concert?"
"Actually, I was just informed on who was gonna be judging the Miss WWE Miss Beauty talent contest tomorrow." he said mockingly.
"And who is that?"
"Me." he said smirking. She rolled her eyes.
"Now I'll never win." she stated sadly.
"Depends on how much you wow me."
"Yeah but don't I have an unfair advantage?"
"Well the audience doesn't know how close we are."
"And how close are we?" she asked honestly wanting to know what his answer would be.
"As close as you'll let us be." he said looking into her hazel eyes.
"Well are you looking to be in a relationship anytime soon?"
"If I asked you to be my girlfriend right now, what would you say?"
"You'll have to ask me to find out, won't you?" she smiled wickedly at him.
"Shannon Scott will you be my girlfriend?" he said in mock shyness.
"Well if I were to say yes then I definitely would throw the other girls in the contest's slim chances of winning out the window. And I usually like to play fair when it comes to things like this. I think a decision such as this one should be made tomorrow night after the show. But I will say your chances as of this moment are really, really, good." she said winking at him.
"Do you always like to torture me like this?"
"Of course, and I was thinking since tomorrow night will be really special for me cuz it's my first appearance ever, maybe this will sweeten the deal. As if anything could but yeah you know what I'm saying."
"Aight then, I will wait incredibly impatient for your answer. Do you want to run lines with me to prepare for the show?"
"Why not?" she smiled sitting next to him.
A/N: Honestly do you even have to ponder on what her answer will be? It's John freakin one hell of a hottie Cena people lol. I know it's been awhile since I updated but yeah. Stay tuned for Shannon's first RAW experience in the next chap...unless I babble on like I'm known for and in that case the result might be one really long chapter or 2 new ones. Well we'll see. Prepare yourselves for one hilarious competition. Can you imagine what some of the divas consider to be their talent? lol. well drop a review cuz thats what motivates me to go on and tell me what you think. much love again to people who have reviewed and who will review.
