Disclaimer: Nope... no one.

John walked into the arena. He was slated to make his debut on RAW that night as part of the lottery draft. He made his way to the stage and when his music played went out to the ring where the Highlight Reel was set up. After his confrontation with Christian and Tyson Tomko, he made his way to the back. He greeted people as he walked down the hallway in the back. He saw Randy talking to Triple H. He walked up to them

"Hey man," Randy greeted.

"Hey Orton," John greeted back. "Hey Paul."

"Hey Cena," Paul said. "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just got here."

"Yeah, we all saw," Randy replied. "So how does it feel to be on RAW?"

"It's been good so far." Paul looked him up and down.

"Well I'm gonna go now, I'll talk to you guys later," Paul said. He left the two men to talk.

"What's the matter with him?" Randy asked.

"I think it has to do with Alex. I think Stephanie told him what happened between us."

"Not a good way to start here John."

John shrugged his shoulders. "What can I do? I can't make everyone like me."

Stacy Keibler walked down the hallway and went over to the two men.

"Randy, I've been looking for you everywhere," she said.

"Oh hey babe," he said putting his arm around her waist.

"Hi John," Stacy said.

"Hey Stace. How you been?"

"I've never been better," she said smiling. She looked at Randy and he looked back at her giving her a wink. John didn't want be around them any longer.

"Listen, I'll talk to you guys later," John said.

"All right. Bye man," Randy said still looking at Stacy. John walked away from the pair down the hall.

"Did you tell him she was here?" Stacy asked Randy.

"Nope," Randy said. "He'll figure it out on his own."

John made his way towards Eric Bischoff's office to do a spot on television. When the show was done, he decided to head back to the hotel. As he waited to get checked in, his eyes spotted a familiar face walking in. John did a double take as he recognized who it was. He saw her heading towards the check in desk. He signed the document the receptionist had given him and he took back his credit card. John turned around saw himself standing face to face with her.

"Hi John," Alex said smiling.

"Hey… what are you doing here in St. Louis?" John asked.

"Work."

"Aren't you supposed to be at home resting?"

"Yeah, I know. But I had to make it here."

"Oh… well ok then."

"So, I'll see you around then?" Alex asked eagerly.

"Um… yeah," John replied. He walked off to the elevator. Alex walked to the desk and checked in. When she got her room key, she headed upstairs. As she walked to her room, she saw John getting to his. Before he swiped the card to get into his room, he looked over and saw her two doors down putting down her suitcase and beginning to swipe in her card. When she opened the door, she picked up her suitcase. She looked over at John and smiled.

"Hey, you wanna go downstairs and get something to drink?" she surprisingly asked.

"I don't…" John began to say.

"Oh come on… it's not like anything's gonna happen," she persisted. John thought about this for a second.

"Fine," he said.

"Ok… I'll just come by in 10 minutes… that ok?"

"Yeah," John said swiping his key. They both went inside their rooms.

I hope you liked it... they're starting to communicate once again...
