Chapter 8: The Inner Child
******
"You ever get the feeling that we're mad?" I asked Marie while we were in the gym.
"Naw, us?" Marie said, laughing. "They're the mad ones."
"True…" I said, looking round at the other Superstars on the cycling machines, running machines, rowing machines…. "But we're the one's dangling from the wall bars upside down in a crowded gym."
"Yeah, well, it makes you think, don't it?" Marie told me, smiling brightly. I pondered this for a moment. My mind was so jumbled up, I hadn't really been thinking clearly since Smackdown, three days ago, when Chris had told me that HE had sent the flowers.
"I'm not too sure I agree with you, Marie." I said. "My mind is still jumbled up." Marie smiled at me, and expertly climbed down from the wall bars. I had been avoiding Chris since Smackdown, I wasn't sure what I thought or felt towards Chris, and I was still embarrassed about the whole Dwayne thing. The only thing that I decided was that if Dwayne could think about getting together with somebody like Stephanie, then he must be crazy. I stayed there, upside-down, and I finally decided that I loved The Rock's name, not his personality. I smiled, Marie was actually right.
"Sounds like guy trouble if you ask me," her friend told her, grinning. "Come on, Miss Laeman, spill. And don't look at me like that!"
"Like what?" I asked, innocently, my eyes on the doorway behind Marie.
"Like you just swallowed a skittle the wrong way." Marie said. She followed my gaze, and saw who had just walked through the door. "Chris Irvine?!" she asked joyfully, and bounded off towards where he was standing.
"No, wait, Marie!" I yelled, trying to untangle myself from the wall bars, only succeeding, and falling painfully on my left shoulder. "Ow…"
I blushed violently as Paul, Amy Dumas, Nora Greenwald, Gregory Helms, and Nathan turned around and watched me. Yeah, get on with your cycling guys, I wanted to yell, but didn't, cos I was all tangled up. Paul pulled me up, eventually, and I smiled my thanks and headed off to the women's changing rooms, but before I could get there, Chris Irvine and Marie stopped me from reaching the room.
"That looked like a pretty mean bump," Chris told me lightly. "But ya took it like a pro."
"Don't congratulate me, congratulate my inner child," I said, blushing. Where did that come from?! I turned around, and walked into the Women's changing room, hinting at Marie to follow me. Marie never got the hint, and the last thing I saw was Marie in deep conversation with Chris.
******
Vince sat back and watched RAW. Izzie's script work was flourishing, and he couldn't help but smile, as the audience cheered, booed, or yelled "what?!" to what his Stars had to say. He had to admit that he probably wouldn't have fired her, she was the best booker he had had in a long time, and she was the first female Head of Talent Productions.
He watched on screen as he saw HHH and Trish Stratus kiss, and as the crowd cheered, he decided to give Izzie a pay rise. He couldn't afford to loose her talent to anywhere else. A Federation is only as good as it's booker, after all.
******
"Iz!" called out Marie. "Where is ya?"
"Hey Mar-Mar." I said. "What were you talking to Chris about?"
"I was just being friendly!" Marie said, sticking her tongue out at Izzie. "Anyway, I was looking in my magazine, and I came up with a GREAT way to get your mind off Chris!"
"If this involves getting totally drunk and waking up the next day naked on a boat heading to Nebraska, no." I told Marie, who pretended to look hurt.
"Don't you trust me?" Marie asked me.
"In one word, No." I said. "In two, definitely no." We laughed.
"Look, I'm going to set you up on a blind date with a regular guy. TRUST me, it'll work." Marie said.
"Why don't you set yourself up?" I asked Marie, who turned pale. "Aah!! YOU fancy somebody, too!"
"Too?"
"Who is it?" I pressed. "Tell me or I won't go on this date!"
Marie looked at me. "Don't tell. It's Paul."
I looked at Marie and smiled. Despite the fact that Paul was officially dating Trish Stratus, I knew that Paul liked Marie. An awful lot. "When and where?" I asked.
"Night Light club, 7pm. And you got to promise me you'll give the guy a chance." Marie told her. I nodded, and left the room to go and get ready for her date tonight.
******
I was wearing my denim knee-length skirt, and a white midriff tube top. I had on my black boots, and her hair was all tied back. I looked in the mirror, and was pleased at the vaguely representable image that started back at me. Before I could change my mind, I grabbed my coat and left he room, heading for the "Night Light" Club Marie had directed me to.
******
I sat there for about ten minutes, waiting for my "Blind Date". Marie told me he would be carrying a book, and ordered me to wear a red flower in my hair. I had my hair tied back with a red flower hair bobble.
I felt a tap on my shoulder, and saw a book being waved in my face. As I turned around to see who my date was, I just about felt ready to run. It was Chris!
******
**Ok, it was really obvious who her date would be, Sorry for that!!**
(The Real Circle (and progress report;) : Hunter and Izzie are friends. Stephanie loves Hunter (still bad), Hunter loves Trish (still very good), Trish loves Chris Jericho (ended), Chris Jericho loves Izzie (turn for ?better?), Izzie loves The Rock (went very bad), and The Rock loves Stephanie (good).
