a/n I really love this story! It's so fun to write! XODaniiOX, RainbowShelby, pajama_pants5, Julzi, LindseyRedfield, Neurotic-Idealist and tvrox12 are all amazing for reviewing! I love you all a lot! I only own Claire Bonnet, the wrestlers own themselves, I guess their gimmicks belong to the WWE and Gwen Brentwood belongs to LindseyRedfield! Read on!


I felt the moisture slide down my arms and I grimaced, wishing I had brought a towel. The look on my face had to be less than attractive, it probably looked liked I wanted to vomit... I guess I sort of did. I pushed the curtain back and stepped through, pushing the bodies of Ted DiBiase Junior and Cody Runnels away from me as soon as I knew we were out of view from the audience or the cameras.

"You two are disgusting. Why do you have to sweat so much?" I asked as I looked at my arms that were glistening with the sweat of my friends. Ted shook his head at me and threw me a towel, which I gladly used to wipe my arms. But I felt the wetness all around my neck, from where their arms had been, and it was dripping slowly down my back. "I need a shower," I grumbled, "You can wait until I'm done." I didn't care that they had just wrestled in the Royal Rumble match and smelt badly, they had made me smell bad... and I was pretty sure I had managed to get cake throughout my hair when Michelle had hugged me after our segment, I hadn't checked.

"Suck it up, Claire!" Ted chuckled but I flipped him off,

"Tais-toi, Theodore." I told him to shut up, something that he understood, "If you guys see Gwen, try not to scare her too much, d'accord? We want her to stick around." I walked away before they could answer, feeling extremely dirty. I walked to their locker room, intending to use their showers instead of the ones in the Divas' locker room.

I turned the handle and pushed the door open, staring slightly as Randy sat on a seat, with suit pants and no shirt. He may be married and we may have broken up over ten years ago, but there was no denying that he was gorgeous.

"Randy," I nodded my head at him, "You alright?" he looked up as I walked past him,

"Yeah, just getting ready to head back." He assured me and I smiled.

aaa

Ted and Cody were waiting for me to finish when I came back into the main area of the locker room, dressed in a new, black dress. There was more than one shower in the back, but they knew that I would scream if they came in.

"It's all yours." I smiled, screaming slightly when Ted tried to hug me. I pulled on my shoes again, a black trench coat and headed out of the room, taking my bags with me. I needed to find Gwen, who still had my title, and then ask her if she wanted to join in the planned Diva Slumber Party, before I found Michelle and we left the arena.

It was still a somewhat surreal experience, being able to hear the crowd from backstage. I pulled out my phone and checked the time; the Rumble match probably hadn't even ended yet. I guessed that they were at number twenty eight and I decided to make my way to Gorilla Position and see who lucky number thirty was.

My eyes widened when I saw the blonde head of Adam Copeland waiting for his entrance. "Adam?" I asked with happiness clear in my voice, "Is that really you?"

"Oh, hi Claire." He said, and I knew I was probably taking him out of his 'zone'.

"Right, wrestling soon." I said to myself. The countdown started and he stood right behind the curtain, "Good luck though!" I didn't know who was going to win, having been away for seven months, and having a bad habit of zoning out during meetings, I knew very little.

"Welcome back, Claire." Dave Batista said to me, and I smiled. We were both on Raw, but he was a very busy man,

"You too, Dave." I knew he had been away at Smackdown for awhile. "Good luck out there." I smiled as I turned around and left for the Divas' locker room, I would watch the end of the match from there. I knew from seeing the monitor that Chris Irvine, Shawn Michaels and John Cena were all in the ring when Adam went out. I knocked on the door labelled 'Divas', it was pulled open almost instantly and I was slammed down in front of the television.

"Watch!" Maria demanded of me, and I nodded enthusiastically.

Natalie Neidhart let out a loud squeal; we knew that the final Canadian participant had won the match. She did a little dance, happy that her friend had won his spot at Wrestlemania. "I told you so!" she shouted to the other Divas. I only just realised that Maryse was in the room when she scoffed and stood up,

"'E deserves eet," the sarcasm was evident in her voice and she left the room without another word. I couldn't help but laugh at her, what was her problem?

"Oh, um, hey, girls? Have you by any chance seen a little latina looking girl, carrying my Diva's Championship?" I questioned, Michelle laughed at me,

"Only you could let someone loose with your title." I shot her a dirty look and frowned, "I have no idea where she is, did you try catering?"

"Why wouldn't she be in here? She knows people! She does know people, doesn't she?" I asked the girls and they shrugged, "Gwen, Gweneth Brentwood... From FCW?"

"Gwen's here?" Serena Deeb asked in excitement, "She didn't tell me that! I'll help you find her!" she pulled me by the hand out of my seat, and I dropped my bags,

"I guess I'll be back?" it came out as a question, because at that point in time I wasn't sure where Serena was taking me."


I sighed in relief when I spotted Gwen in catering, talking with Stephen Farrelly, otherwise known as Sheamus.

"You shouldn't disappear!" I said as I sat down beside her, Serena sitting beside Stephen, "You're going to give me a heart attack!"

"Carm dun, Momma bear." Stephen chuckled, "I was just talkin' wit her, she's perfectly safe."

"Shut up, Stephen." I was so used to his accent that it didn't bother me a bit, and I understood it almost perfectly.

"Respect yar elders, Claire." He joked and I shook my head.

"Claire, I'm fine." Gwen informed me, preventing me from chewing Stephen's ear off, and I nodded,

"Sorry, you're young, I'm the same with Cody..." I trailed off, cursing my motherly habits, "I was just wondering if I could you know, have my championship back." I smiled at her and she smiled back, handing me my piece of silver.

"Well, it was good while it lasted!" Gwen commented with a smile, "Might be the only chance I get to have it." She shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh! I want to hold it!" Serena stole my belt from me,

"I don't think I'm champion tonight, hey Stephen?"

"So, know ya want ta speak ta me, ahm not havin' it." He smirked, "Ah gotta go anyways, nice seein' ya 'gain, Claire. Good ta have ya back." I had been back a couple of weeks, but because I had made myself scarce and mainly stayed in the boys' locker room, I hadn't seen many people.

"Thanks, Stephen. You too." He disappeared, leaving me with Serena, whom I did not know very well, and Gwen, "Okay, part two of why I came to find you... Michelle and I have organised a slumber party! First one of the year if I'm not mistaken..." it had to be, they were held after Pay Per Views when all the girls were together, "Initiation for yourself and Serena." Serena nodded her head, I guess she had already heard about it, "And it's not optional, you have to be there."
