Title: Story in a Bottle
Author: WWFDivaGirl
A/N: Izzie's my sister. She told me to tell you that she is real, and she owns herself. But we agreed I can still yell at her down the phone. :D
Disclaimer: I don't own HHH, Y2J, Trish or Stephanie. Izzie is now recognised as owning herself. Even although I can yell down the phone at her occasionally. (sorry guys, you won't hear the last of it now!)
Acknowledgements: Miss Calysto and Keilrules! Thanks for standing by me! This one's for you! (And if it ends up being totally rubbish, I'll write you another one!)
Chapter 3: Power
******
The next day Vince had told me that I need to review some new talent. The WWF always had their eyes open for their developmental roster. There were two girls and three guys, and Vince told me I could hand out two contracts. I told him you can't put a limit on great potential.
Hopefuls were always nervous, and they always would make a mistake. So just for fun, I decided that I would invite one of the Divas and one of the Superstars to test them, rather than the usual developmental wrestlers. And to make an impact, I asked Paul and Amy Dumas (Lita) to join me.
******
I walked into the arena, where the five hopefuls were waiting inside the ring. The girls were talking nervously, and the guys were warming up. When they heard my boots walking down the ramp, they all looked my way, silent and unmoving. Paul and Amy were still backstage, waiting for me to call them out. I slipped into the ring. They didn't know who I was, nobody does, and they visibly relaxed.
"I'm Izzie Laeman, Head of Talent Productions and general busybody. In English, I'm head scriptwriter," I announced. "I'm going to be viewing your talent, and maybe making your life a living hell. We'll have you each cut a promo, and have a quick fight. First of all, I would like to introduce some people who will be involved in your matches."
They all turned and looked up to the top of the ramp, and just about fainted when HHH and Lita appeared. I smiled, and when they had reached the ring, I told the hopefuls to sit on one of the chairs beyond the barricade.
******
"Well, that was fun!" said Amy, smiling.
"For you, maybe" said Paul, holding a cloth to his nose. "That David has rubbish aim"
"The girl Marie seemed quite charismatic... and she fought well." I said. "I liked her. And Chris, he has the right attitude."
"But what about Sarah and Nathan?" Lita asked. "Sarah was ok..."
"I'll think about it later." I said, as Dwayne walked past, unable to keep my eyes off the Bull. "I got a new storyline that I need to run past Vince. Speak to you guys later."
******
"So you're interested in having a 'Love Circle'?" Mr McMahon asked, sceptically. I smiled and nodded.
"I know you are all for 'real life' storylines" I said, coyly. "And, well, I was thinking you could incorporate this into TV. See, your daughter Stephanie likes Paul Levesque, but Paul likes Trish. Trish is interested in Chris Irvine, but nobody knows who Chris likes, so on TV, it could turn out that he likes Stephanie."
"Isn't it a bit confusing? How will you run it?" Vince always wanted to know what was happening with the practicalities. It was what made the plots so tight.
"I was thinking Steph could come out and say she said she was pregnant because she still loved Hunter, and she needs him back yadda yadda yadda. She calls him out, but Chris comes out instead. Chris apologises for how he treated her, and is really sorry she's still grovelling after HHH and all that. Stephanie and Chris leave the arena together." I said, trying to give a rough guide, but give my writers some creative leeway. "Next show, We see Trish speaking about how much she fancies someone on her cell in the corridor. HHH walks past and she goes all giggly shy and talks to him. It'll look pretty obvious that it's HHH. Hunter will bump into Stephanie. She tells him she still loves him, but he says he's moved on. He tells one of he guys that he likes Trish, and Trish admits that she has got a crush on Chris."
"Very tight plot" Vince said. "I can really see that coming along."
"Thanks"
"But how will you end it?" he asked me.
"That's for me to work out, and you to find out" I said, smiling. Vince wasn't all that bad, really. As I left his office and headed down the corridor, I was so glad I managed to get Rocky out of the situation. It wouldn't be very professional to admit that I had the crush on him. But I really do wonder who Chris fancies?
******
I was sitting in my lemony-yellow office, typing frantically at the keyboard. The door opened and I looked up. I smiled and finished my sentence, as Paul walked around behind me.
"Wow, Fire, this is good!" Paul said, looking at Stephanie's speech. "You aren't going to have me fall for it, are you?"
"Nope, Chris has that honour." I smiled. "You get to woo Trish"
"Nice one, thanks." Paul looked really pleased, and I smiled up at my friend. He may be The Game, the Cerebral Assassin, HHH on screen, but he was just another guy when you removed that mask, and he had a yearning for Trish, and his name wouldn't help him.
Much like me and The Rock.

The Real Circle: Hunter and Izzie are friends. Stephanie loves Hunter, Hunter loves Trish, Trish loves Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho loves Izzie, Izzie loves The Rock, and The Rock loves Stephanie.
The TV Circle: Stephanie loves Hunter, Hunter loves Trish, Trish loves Chris, but Chris loves Stephanie. Izzie doesn't appear on TV, and The Rock has been cleverly cut out of it ;) (It's too confusing to remember!!)
