Long Term Dead Girl

"Are we even supposed to be here?" Akasha asked all of a sudden, still sitting on Lita's couch. Lita shrugged, "Ric knows we're here but he doesn't have any matches for us until the Boyz come back." Akasha slumped into the chair, "I'm bored." She mumbled, "Good, can I dye your hair blonde?" Lita asked bluntly. Akasha almost leaped over the chair and for Lita's throat, "What! Why?" She asked instead. Peering over the back of the seat to Lita who pulled out two boxes of hair dye, "Cause I think you'll look better blonde. Plus it'll contrast better in our team. A red head, black, rainbow and blonde." Akasha got up from her seat and walked over to Lita, "Can't I just grow it out!?" She pleaded. Lita burst out laughing, "No way, you know how long your hair is? Anyway I found a colour that from what I can tell will match your natural hair colour perfectly." Akasha rolled her eyes and let her head fall back, "Lita." Akasha winged, "Quit ya' winging girl! You'll look great when everyone sees you again." Akasha laughed sarcastically, "Are you kidding? I'm wearing a purple leather skirt and black underwear that the world can see! What more can you do to me besides make me look like one of those cheesy blondes in this Federation. Trish, Terri, Stacey and Torrie! I don't want to be a blonde Lita." Lita sat Akasha down in a seat in front of a mirror, "Stiff shit. You're going blonde."

The next morning Akasha woke up and ran to the nearest mirror just to see if she looked half decent. She was pleasantly surprised with the result. Her now tanned skin made her hair look more golden brown then bleached and her eyes were even brighter. All in all she was impressed with the colour Lita had chosen but she wasn't staying completely blonde for long though as she grabbed some nice clothes and a jacket and headed for the nearest hair dresser. "Hi, how can I." The woman stopped mid sentence, "Oh my god, Akasha. Wow, hi how are you?" Akasha smiled and shook the woman's hand, "Good thanks." "I thought you had black hair." The woman said looking to Akasha's hair, "My natural hair colour is blonde, just never liked being a blonde. I was suckered into having my hair dyed last night. Any way I want some bright colours in it. Purple ends if you don't mind." The woman nodded, "Sure." The woman put in bright purple ends in her hair and then Akasha paid and left, "Akasha. You're worse then I thought!" Lita said as Akasha met up with her at the pool, "I know, I couldn't stand it. I needed some damn colour in my hair." "Ah well. It looks good either way." Lita replied, sitting in the chair across from her at the pool side tables.

The next week or so, Lita and Akasha spent travelling with the Federation but not on screen or in matches. Soon enough the Hardyz came back and the four went back to work. Over the next two and some odd months the whole gang appeared constantly together in matches and cheering another on. Akasha's makeover had sent her to the cover of the Diva's magazine and given her even more Team Xtreme fans. Akasha or Lita never mentioned the Triple H incident to either Boyz and sure enough Akasha found herself just three days away from a void contract and a cut pay. She found herself nervously sitting in Ric Flair's office awaiting the rest of her life, "You've enjoyed your twelve months here in the WWF?" He asked curiously, sitting across from her and making her feel small compared to the Nature Boy behind the desk, "Yes, it's been the best year of my life by far."

"Feel that you've achieved good things?" He continued, hands folded neatly on the desk and looking calm, "Oh absolutely. Just being part of the Federation was a great achievement for me. But all the matches, TLC Mixed Tag Match with Jeff, my fans and cover shots for magazines have really proved that I have succeeded in what I came here to achieve." Ric nodded and with a smile took Akasha's contract from a drawer, "As you would know you're contract is nearly up. You've received your final pay for this contract and all we need to tell you is that you have been an enormous success in this Federation and that we'd like to have you with us for a lot longer."

Akasha could have leapt over the desk and hugged the dear life out of him. Fire works were exploding in her stomach and she tried not to scream 'Yes' As loud as she could, "Interested?" He asked, still calm and collected, "Of course." Akasha replied as calmly as she could. Ric pulled out another contract made for her and laid it in front of her, "Now this is a long term, two year contract. Your pay is written here and you receive this much for televised matches." He pointed to the necessary areas of the contract before flipping to the last page, "If you sign this now it will commence next Monday. Still exclusive to RAW so long as the Brand Extension is still on." He placed a pen next to the paper and Akasha quickly wrote her name and was in the Federation for another two years.
