Disclaimer: I don't own the WWE or any of they're wrestlers
Hey guys so its been forver since I updated because nobody reviewed but three people have added my story to their alert list in the last week which is awesome and GreyLionDiva reviewed which I really appreciate so this chapter is for you. I'm sorry if it isnt as good but its hard to get back into writing and as wlays please review
It had been a couple of weeks since Avery had spent the night a Ted's place, things with Cody had gotten less awkward but both avoided being alone together like the plague. Avery had spent the last week training with Lacey and quickly realized that her nice girl image was just a front for a much bitchier and shallow girl with little to no wrestling talent.
"Okay Lacey come on we have to get this right, we're going to be on Raw in two days and our portion of the match looks like crap we have to pick it up or we're going to get sent back down." Avery was sick of her prima-donna crap and just want to impress everyone with how far she's come.
"You might get sent back down but I'm a Von Erich there is no way I'm getting sent down." Lacey flipped her hair and made her way out of the ring.
Avery was beyond frustrated, she pounded her fists on the turnbuckle and leaned her back against it closing her eyes and trying to think of a way to make her match better. She finally climbed out of the ring and grabbed her bag, maybe talking with one of the other wrestlers would help her figure out what she should do. She looked around the arena to see if there was anyone she could talk to but only found people that she barely knew so she made her way to the back.
"Hey kid where are you going?" Avery turned around to see John Cena walking towards her, over the last couple weeks they had become friends, both having the same carefree but dedicated personality.
"Oh just going to look in the paper for job listings because after our match on Raw I'm sure I'm going to be fired."
"What are you talking about you're one of the best wrestlers on the roster"
"It's not me I'm worried about Lacey wont practice and she thinks she's entitled to a roster spot because of her family so I can't get her to practice so our portion of the match is going to be horrible."
"Don't worry everyone will be able to see how great you are and if Lacey doesn't do well then no matter who her family is she'll be sent down." John slung his arm around Avery's shoulders as they kept walking backstage before they reached the girls locker room.
"Thanks for the pep talk John you're a rockstar"
"Anything for my favourite Diva" Avery gave John one last hug before going to get changed.
Two days later
Tonight was the show, Avery and Lacey were going to debut and this could be the beginning and the end of her career in the WWE. Avery was getting changed into her practice gear so that they could all go over their promo's and the match. Avery made her way down to the ring that had been set up and saw that Cody was the only one that was there already. He was sitting on the side of the ring and hadn't noticed her yet. Okay Avery time to get this over with, it's just Cody you're friends…..who almost had sex but whatever you can get passed this.
"Hey Cody" Avery was making her way to the ring and sat herself beside Cody, he looked over at her and gave her a small awkward smile.
"Hey" things only got more uncomfortable from there neither talked or looked at each other, thankfully Ted, Randy, John, Hunter and Shawn had made their way to the ring.
"So are we ready to practice" Shawn looked around the group for approval.
"Lacey hasn't shown up yet" Avery answered and looked around to see that they all had an annoyed look on their faces. It was another 10 minutes before Lacey showed up and they could start.
"Okay so lets just go over the promos, I guess we can start with Legacy in the ring doing your typical bragging before introducing Lacey and then Hunter, Shawn and I will come out and say how we're tired of hearing about how much better you are because of your heritage." John looked around for approval before continuing.
" The you guys challenge us to find a Diva that's better than Lacey to compete in a mixed tag match as the main event and then we introduce Avery before the match" Everyone was on board with the idea
"Alright well if we've got that down lets practice the match" They all decided that Avery and Lacey would start the match before tagging out to let Randy and John fight and it would basically go back and forth between the teams with DX, John and Avery winning in the end.
The group practiced for two hours and everyone was beginning to realize exactly how bad Lacey was. Avery was disappointed not only in Lacey but in herself because it was her portion of the match and it wouldn't be up to par with the other superstars in the ring All Avery could do was hope that everything would work out, but she had a bad feeling about the match.
"Hey don't worry you're ready for this and as long as you do well Vince will see that you deserve to be here" ted had snuck up on Avery and pulled her into a hug seeing how upset she'd been over the last week.
"Thanks Ted" Avery hug him back and just stood in his arms, not in a loving way but they way two best friends would hug each other, over the last two weeks Avery and Ted had become really close talking every day and training together. Avery felt kind of bad because it was like Ted was replacing Taylor but she really needed a friend that could be with her and Ted was perfect for that, he had even tried (and failed) to talk with her about Cody, it didn't go well but at least he tried.
"I think I'm going to go call Taylor I need some girl talk, I'll meet you for dinner before the show"
"I'll see you in a couple hours" Ted kissed her forehead before heading to his locker room
Avery walked into the locker room and pulled out her cellphone to call Taylor.
"Hey Tay it Avery how's it going?"
"Hey superstar, so has Lacey stepped up at all"
"Urg no, she's bringing the whole match down I dont know what to do"
"Well you just have to do you're best and kick her butt, no onto more important matters, how are things goign with Cody."
"Still awkward, I tried to sit beside him before our match and that only made things more awkward, I feel like a silly highschool girl, I mean I really like him but he doesn't even want to look at me and I dont understand why, its not like we slept togetherwe just had a couple of awkward moments and its only gotten worse I really don't know what to do"
"Well maybe its time to move on, you can't wait around for some guy that wont put in the time to get to know you"
"Yeah maybe you're right, but anways how are things at FCW, I miss everyone"
"Everythings good, a couple new people were brought in but nothing too special, there's a rumour going around that they need a Diva for a houseshow on Smackdown so I've been working my butt off trying to get called up"
"Thats awesome I'm sure they'll choose you, you're the only one that could pull it off"
"Thanks Ree" Avery was about to ask about Taylors love life when someone knocked on the door.
"Hey Tay I gotta go but I'll call you after the show."
"Okay good luck you'll do awesome"
"Thanks babe talk to ya later bye"
Avery walked over to the door and opened it to see John, Randy, Hunter, Shawn, Ted and Cody.
"Hey guys whats up"
"Alright lets get to it, we know you can wrestle and we know Lacey is usless but we need you to bring everything tongiht because you're the only hope for picking up you're portion of the match and we don't want you to be sent down because Lacey is lazy" Hunter said looking at Avery for reassurance
"Don't worry I'm gonna give it everything I've got"
"And we all wanted to wish you luck before the show starts, we all remember how nervous we were before our first live show, hell I almost threw up" John laughed as he said the last part, he always knew how to break the tension.
"Thanks John, but I really didn't need to know the last part" Avery chuckled as did the rest of the guys.
"So how bout you come hang out with us before the show and we can all grab some food"
"Sounds good to me" Avery closed the door to the locker room before making her way to the cafeteria with the guys to get something to eat. She spent the next hour hanging out with the guys before going to hair and make-up to get ready for the show.
Once she was finsihed getting her hair and make-up done she changed into her wrestling gear. She checked herself out in the mirror and had to asmit she looked good, her hair had been slightly curled and she had smoky make-up done around her eyes with a nude lip, her top was dark purple and cut down low in the front and criss-crossed around her stomach before tying in the back and ending well abover her bellybutton, she had on black wrestling tights with a dark purple design on the side and plain black wrestling boots.
"So are you ready to become the newest Raw Diva" Avery turned and saw Gail sitting on one of the benches.
"Haha you bet, I was born for this"
"Thats the spirit now get out there and kick some butt" Avery laughed as she made her way out of the locker room to find a moniter so she could watch the promo that the guys and Lacey were about to do.
