Dizzy. That was what Calli felt when she opened her eyes. God, why did you curse man with hangovers? As she tried to sit up, she found that she wasn't alone. Calli tried her best not to scream when she saw Chris and Trish tangled together, just as naked as she was. Every event from the night hit home. Calli felt horrible, like a no good two dollar whore. She wanted to crawl into a hole and die. But, despite what she wanted, she knew she had to get ready to take Sarah to her contract signing.
Crawling away from the two sleeping Canadians, she got dressed and went to wake her apprentice. Nearly twenty minutes later, both Calli and Sarah were in there suite, getting dressed for the signing. Calli told Sarah that since it was the Halloween party special for SmackDown, they could dress in costumes. So, the girls went to the party store trying to find the perfect costumes. Sarah saw a cute sexy "Alice In Wonderland" costume. "Since I'm Alice Angel, it only makes sense to dress like Alice."
Calli smiled as she nodded. "Yeah. Shannon said he was gonna be a combination of a priest and a devil. John said he'd be Vanilla Ice. Chavo an-" She cut herself off. She was about to mention Eddie. Shane had told her last night before the two celebrated that she'd be the one to put him out on injury. She was still upset he kept this secret from her for so long.
Sarah could tell Calli was a little sensitive about a subject. But she didn't want to force her friend to talk. "Hey, if you don't wanna talk about it, you don't have to. We can talk about what you're gonna wear."
Calli smiled softly at her friend's understanding. "I was thinking that a rag doll look would be cool."
"That could work. Like Sally from 'Nightmare Before Christmas'?"
"No, a sexy, punk, rebel rag doll. I could go to the shop and get a reverse spray tan."
"What's that?" Sarah asked.
"Instead of looking tan, I'll look pale. The stitches will come out more and I'll look more convincing."
Both girls got their make up and everything else done as the day went on. With their costumes and special effect on, it was time for the recording.
It showed everyone backstage for the costume party. And it was funny. Tajiri was dressed like a disco king, Shannon, a religious demon, Cena, Vanilla Ice, Eddie as Zorro and Chavo as a stereotypical Mexican with a poncho, sombraro, a stick of dynamite and an empty techilia bottle. Farooq was a pimp, the majority of the divas were french maids serving drinks, even Mae Young and the Fabulous Moolah made an appearance, Mae as Marilyn Monroe and Moolah as Pebbles Flintstone. Stephanie showed up and she was dressed as a sexy witch. "Everyone, tonight, we have a contract signing for a new superstar. And this one just so happens to be a friend of our own Underclass Hero, Jaci Jones. And it's gonna happen next."

Out in the ring, Shane was sitting at a set up table with the contract signing. Shane then raised the mic in his hand. "Tonight, I have a contract ready to be signed by our newest superstar. And accompaning said superstar to the signing is SmackDown's very own Jaci Jones."
Well. I. Won't be caught living in a dead end job/ Or praying to a government, guns, and gods/ And now it's us against them/ We here to represent/ And spit right in the face of the establishment
Jaci strutted to the stage, loving the loud crowd. Stopping just before the ramp, She turned around, her music fading. Suddenly, Sum 41's "No Apologies" blasted through the speakers. A girl with blond locks dressed as Alice in Wonderland came out and head banged to the beat of her theme song.
I've heard it before/ I'm straight outta line/ The image of malice/ With one evil mind/ I've got no excuse/ It's my alibi/ A victim of fashion/ Dressed to do or die
Both girls walked to the ring, screaming and shouting just as much as the fans. Jaci was smiling and the new girl had wide grin on her face, just eating the excitement up.
Don't worry/ About me/ I'm not your/ Misery/ A reject/ No respect/ I don't, I don't, I don't
They slid into the ring, careful that their costumes didn't reveal anything, there were kids watching after all. The new girl then jump onto the nearest turnbuckle and threw up a "Rock On" hand, receiving some in return from the fans.
I don't wanna be a conclusion/ Victim of confusion/ And I'll stay/ My own place/ Right here in no where/ So here's my resignation/ From the desperation/ I'm the saint of hopeless/ I make no apologies
The new girl then sat down in front of Shane and looked at the contract. She turned to Jaci and showed her one particular line. Jaci's brows furrowed in confusion. Grabbing one of the mics on the table, she raised it to her lips. "Shane, this says that if she signs, she's a Diva."
"Of course." Shane said, as if it were to be expected.
"Shane, asking her to be a Diva is like asking me to be a Diva." The fans booed at Shane for that. If this girl was like Jaci, then she didn't belong in the Divas division.
"Well, unless you have a different contract, you'd better have her sign this one, because it's the only one I'm offering." He smirked.
Both girls gave each other a knowing look. "I figured you'd do something like this." Jaci said as she turned toward the stage. She put her thumb and pointer finger in her mouth and whistled as loud as she possibly could, and it was very loud and high pitched. A few moments later, a little boy, about three or four years old, dressed as a plush jack-o-lantern, jogged, or rather wobbled, to the ring with a black folder clutched in his small hands. Everyone said "aww" because of how cute he was. He climbed the steel steps and entered the ring, handing Jaci the folder. The punk Princess smiled and reached into the pocket on her costume and pulled out a blue lollipop. She smiled as she gave it to the boy, loving his reaction. He slid out of the ring and jogged back up to the stage, clutching the lollipop in his hand. Once he was gone, everyone clapped and cheered because of how cute the scene was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Dominic." Jaci said into her mic. Turning around, she openned the folder and pulled out a contract. "I figured you were gonna try to pull a fast one on us. So, I asked Stephanie to draw up a contract to our specifications." She then set the contract down and pointed out certain parts to the blond, both of them smiling. She then took a pen and signed the contract. Everyone cheered this as Shane looked completely dumbfounded. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my friend and now coworker, Alice Angel!" There was no seat with a butt in it, as everyone was on their feet.

Backstage, everyone was congradulating Alice. Cena even came up and kissed her hand. "I have a gift to welcome our newest Superstar." He said. Taking a small step back, he busted out with a freestyle. (A/N: im making this up, so bear with me here)
"Yo' theme song claims you as the image of malice,
All I see is a hot and sexy Alice.
You just like our girl, Jaci, here. She's all that and them some,
Can you beat down yo' opponent like a Salvation Army Drum?
I'll admit, that costume, it looks pretty cute,
You fill it out nicely, with a hot rack ta boot.
I can tell that they're real, it's easy ta see,
So how 'bout it, girl. You wanna go out with me?"
Jaci and Alice gave each other knowing looks. With a smirk, Alice walked up to John and smacked him as hard as she could. Jaci was laughing. "They don't call it 'Smack' Down for nothing." Both girls then walked away and toward Stephanie. Eddie and Chavo were talking to her, talking about how they wanted to have a shot at the tag team titles.
"I'll tell you guys what. If you beat Jaci and our newest Superstar, Alice Angel, I'll give you a shot. It's a Number One Contenders Match. And it starts next."
The scene was cut and Calli left to walk to the gorilla position. She just wanted to get this match over and done with. Eddie had followed her, wanting to talk. "So, esse, you excited? Number one contender for the tag titles. Good jo-"
"¡Cállese!" Calli shouted. Eddie was stunned. Never had she shouted at him before. "Sé todo, Eddie. Vee me dijo."
The older man's eyes widened. "Calli, baby, please let me explain."
"¡Yo no quiero oírlo!" Tears started falling down from her eyes. "Usted me prometió que permanecería limpio. Estuvo a mí, después de todo estos años." Turning away from the man she always thought of as her father, she choked up one last sentence before Eddie and Chavo went out to the ring. "Espero que las píldoras lo valieran, las encinas. Acaba de me perder tan un amigo, como un colaborador, y como la familia."
Calli wiped her tears away as Sarah approached. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just have fun out there." Calli said as she dried her tears.
1. ¡Cállese!
Shut up!
2. Sé todo, Eddie. Vee me dijo.
I know everything, Eddie. Vee told me.
3. ¡Yo no quiero oírlo!
I don't want to hear it!
4. Usted me prometió que permanecería limpio. Estuvo a mí, después de todo estos años.
You promised me that you'd stay clean. You lied to me, after all these years.
5. Espero que las píldoras lo valieran, las encinas. Acaba de me perder tan un amigo, como un colaborador, y como la familia.
I hope the pills were worth it, holmes. You just lost me as a friend, as a coworker, and as family.
