I can't make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well, maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
You say that I been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
"We want to bring you back." Stephanie tells AJ.
AJ was called to Stephanie and Triple-H's office only moments ago about something important, she just guessed it was something she needed to "clean up", really it was them offering her her old job back. One she can eagerly accept.
"What?" AJ asks, shocked from the words leaving Stephanie's mouth.
"You can be a Diva again." Triple-H says.
"Oh my God," she says, still shocked. "Who will I be feuding with?"
"Summer Rae and Fandango," Stephanie says. "Summer is now on Total Divas and is slowly becoming a fan favorite, we want to keep her heel and to stay with Fandango, that's where you come in. You'll be face and return to a huge reaction confronting Lita, then Summer attacks you while Lita retreats, then Fandango comes out then Miz comes out and saves you."
"I'll be teaming with Miz?" AJ asks, in shock, since she was told she would be back in January of last year, then it never happened. "Is it for real this time?"
"Yes," Triple-H says. "You guys will be pretty much making fun of them. Mostly being in dance-offs on the mid-card of RAWs and Smackdowns and the occasional tag match, but you'll slowly build up to fan favorites."
"No kissing involved, right? I don't need Maryse coming to kick my ass."
"No kissing," Stephanie says. "The fans really miss you. They've been chanting your name for weeks."
"Yeah, I've noticed," she says. "So, when do we start this?"
"We'll start doing teaser clips during Lita's matches next week. Then a few weeks later, you'll come back on the full roster." Triple-H says.
"I need to ask one thing." AJ says, still slightly confused. "Why did you change your minds?"
"Vince noticed that your t-shirts are selling more than any other Diva. And for the past few weeks on twitter you've been trending during RAW. During Divas matches they're chanting for you." Triple-H says. "Paul pretty much convinced Vince a while ago Lita was the one they want. The one that can bring in the money. And putting her with Punk would be best for business. He's still listening to Paul, but you're a fan favorite whether any of us like it or not. We need you back. We can't give you a titles match now, but you can feud with Summer. Your spot on Total Divas is still open if you're interested."
"I think I'm going to stick to wrestling for now." AJ says, her smile the brightest it's been in weeks. "Thank you," she leaves the room and walks back to her office where Brie is waiting.
"Hey, AJ," she says. "So, how've you been?"
"Fine, why wouldn't I be?" AJ asks. "I'm not pregnant,"
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger "AJ open the door!" Brie yelled through AJ's hotel-room door as she banged on it with a bag full of pregnancy tests and Vitamin Water and half the Divas division by her side at 1:07 AM. A moment later, the door swung open and AJ stood there, looking very tired and angry at her friends who she then wanted to murder brutally. "What?" She asked for through gritted teeth. Before any other words or insults or thoughts on how to kill about five or six woman bigger than you, the Divas pushed past AJ and into the room, throwing the bag on the bed and turning back to face the angry woman. "The fuck are you guys doing here at 1:00 in the fucking morning?" She asked. Brie opens the bag and tosses her a Vitamin Water and a pregnancy test. "You're taking that," she said sternly. "Like hell I am," AJ responded. "Remember back when you just started on Smackdown about three years ago?" Alicia asked. "How did we get you to do serious stuff? Like asking Stephanie if you could start tagging with Kaitlyn?" "This isn't like that!" AJ said. "And you wouldn't! It's 1:00 AM are you guys crazy?!" Nikki turned on her heel and left the room, walking down the hall to room 539. She banged on the door four times before yelling. "You two get your lazy asses out of bed!" There were two long loud groans. "This is a fucking emergency, douchebags, get your asses to AJ's room before I send Tamina and Naomi to kill you both!" There were two loud thumps that made Nikki smirk as she went back to AJ's room. A minute later, Nikki entered the room with Kofi and Big E behind her. "Why the fuck did you wake us up at 1:00 AM?" Kofi asked, yawning and rubbing his eyes, trying to get used to the lights. "AJ needs to drink about thirty Vitamin Waters and take ten pregnancy tests." Natalya said. Kofi and Big E instantly woke up and look at AJ, who is sitting and pouting on the bed. "Who knocked you up?" They asked in unison. "No one, because I'm not pregnant!" AJ protested, obviously annoyed. "Then take the damn tests!" Nikki said. "AJ, I'll tell Punk you are pregnant if you don't take the tests." Kofi says, looking at AJ very seriously. "And I'll tell Dean." Big E says. AJ looks at both, then groans and takes the bag and storms into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Thirty minutes later, Big E, Kofi, Natalya, Alicia, Summer and Tamina were passed out either on the floor, couch, or bed while Nikki and Brie somehow entertained each other by playing patty cake, making them stay awake. The bathroom door opens and a light comes into the room from the bathroom, making Kofi and Summer wake up. "What? I see the light!" Kofi says. "Summer, am I dead? Are you dead with me?" "Yes, the Bella Twins killed us all in our sleep." Summer says sarcastically. "Get your ass up." They get up and look over to Nikki and Brie who are practically falling asleep on each other. "Patty cake, patty cake," Nikki says then pauses. "What's the next part?" "You two are children." AJ says jokingly. "It's how we used to stay awake when we were in FCW. We used to be up until like 2:00 AM some nights, training. During breaks we would do this and we would stay awake." Brie says, standing up and helping Nikki up. "It's not working for Nikki." Summer says, pointing to the twin who is resting her head on her sister's shoulder. Brie looks at her sister and shoves her off her, onto the bed. "It used to," she says. "But the whole thing with John, most nights she spends crying in her pillow." "Anyway, what's the results?" Kofi asks. AJ looks back at the tests that all either had a pink line or said in bold letters "NOT PREGNANT", making them all sigh in relief. "Thank God," Kofi says. "It would be bad if you were. Especially if it was Punk's since..." "Since what?" AJ asks angrily. "Since nothing!" Kofi responds quickly. "I'm tired, probably just saying stuff. I had a lot to drink earlier. I should go to bed." He hurries out of the bathroom, waking Big E up. "C'mon, time to go," They both leave the room. AJ is distracted by Summer and Brie hugging her to death.
I'll point you to the mirror
May 27, 2014
If God's the game that you're playing
Well, we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
"Yeah, good," she says, her phone beeps and she looks at the text she got from Kofi. "I just remembered I have to... read my script. Bye," she hurries out of the room and goes to meet Kofi in the catering area.
"What is the emergency?" Brie asks Kofi, slightly confused.
"Punk's lost it," Kofi says. "I think he's lost it since October."
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
"Hey, Brie, what's wrong?" Alicia asks Brie, who looks very shocked and confused.
"Nothing, just worried about... something." Brie replies shakily. "How are you?"
"Good, just rejected Creepy Curtis back there. No chloroform this time." Alicia says jokingly. "I thought he was fucking Summer, guess not."
"He is," Brie says, rolling her eyes. "I'm going to have to have a serious conversation with pervy Johnny later. Anyway, have you seen Punk? Or Paul? Or Lita?"
"No, actually, I think they all asked off tonight." Alicia says. "But there's a rumor going around that I don't think AJ should hear."
Brie looks at her, even more confused than before. "What?"
"Well, something about Dean saying he slept with AJ." She says. "You kinda took the best friend spot from Kaitlyn when she left, do you know anything about it?"
Brie freezes, trying to of some excuse. "No, it's one hundred percent, not true. It's probably Stephanie trying to distract the fact that..." She trails off, hoping Alicia doesn't notice.
"What?" She asks, confused.
"What? Nothing," Brie says. "I'm just tired, that's all."
She walks away quickly, hoping to find Daniel before she finds anyone working with Punk or Lita.
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
"You want me to be on Total Divas?" AJ asks. "Uh… no, I said that back in February of last year."
"You don't have to be on it, we just want Lita to talk about you a lot then you show up at the reunion in late September or early October." Triple-H says.
"Alright, fine, no cameras in my face 24/7 though." She says seriously
"Right, no cameras when you wake up and no cameras when you go to sleep. Just the reunion," he says. "You can go now."
AJ stands up and walks out of the office, skipping down the halls.
"Why're you so happy?" Natalya asks.
"No reason," she replies happily.
"Glad you're happy," she says, running a hand through her blond and pink hair. "Have you heard that rumor?"
AJ freezes and turns to face her. "What rumor?" She gulps audibly, obviously scared her good day will turn bad.
"That you and Dean slept together." Natalya mumbles.
"There's a rumor about that?" AJ asks and scoffs. "God, Dean is so desperate. We went out for dinner then I was pulled away because of Nikki. Nothing happened it was a set up by Steph."
"That's not what everyone else is saying." She says, crossing her arms under her chest. "They're saying you fucked him."
AJ sighs. "Where is Dean?"
"Locker-room," she says, confused. "Why?"
AJ pushes past her and storms down the hall, hearing heels on Natalya's shoes clicking behind her. She stands outside the locker-room, taking a deep breath and thinking of words to say as Natalya catches up to her.
"I'm killing that bastard and you're not stopping me." AJ says pulling open the door and storming inside, finding Dean bragging to his former Shield members about her.
"Better than Kaitlyn, that's for sure." Dean says, making AJ do gagging motions to R-Truth who laughs.
"Boys," she says, tapping Dean on the shoulder. "You never slept with Kaitlyn and you never slept with me. So shut the fuck up."
"Oh c'mon, April, you know it was the best sex of your life." Dean says, bending down so he is eye level with her. AJ smirks and leans over like she's going to whisper something in his ear, but instead punches him in the groin, making him fall to the ground.
"Anyone else want that?" She asks. "Now, I suggest, unless you want your balls cut off in your sleep, you forget every rumor about me." She slaps Roman and Seth before turning on her heel and walking out of the room.
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
"What did you do that for?" Natalya asks, confused as to what is going through AJ's head.
"Revenge," she replies, starting to walk down the hall. "That dick deserved what he got. And I have a lot more revenge planned for the future."
A/N: The song used was "Playing God" - Paramore.
