Summary: Ebonee arrives in Connecticut questioning what just took place between her and Paul.
Ebonee is putting some ice on her leg and leaning against the ring after her training with Al.
Al: Okay, what's going on?
Ebonee: What?
Al: Did you or did you not come out here to train?
Ebonee: Al…
Al: Don't Al me. You're a good wrestler Ebonee, but don't think just because you're on a good card, that's it. It's farther than the truth. Get your head in the game. (Gets up and walks away)
Ebonee: That's the problem. (Phone rings- its Paul) Speak of the… Hello.
Paul: Hey.
Ebonee: Hey.
Paul: How's training going.
Ebonee: I already got a bruise the size of a rutabaga.
Paul: Ouch! Want me to pick you up Saturday?
Ebonee: That would be nice.
Paul: It would. Look I gotta jet. Just wanted to hear your voice.
Ebonee: See you Saturday.
Paul: K, bye.
Ebonee: bye.
Okay that was. Awkward? Strange? Weird? All three?
Ebonee spent that Saturday Morning at a spa, getting manicured, pedicure, Hair done, a facial and waxing. She is at the house packing up her things when Big yells up-stairs for her.
Big: Ebbie, Paul's here!
Ebonee: I'll be right down!
Ebonee starts to get her bags and checks herself in the mirror. What is happening to me? I'm mirror fixated lately. Oh My God!
Ebonee comes down the stairs as Paul sits with Big having a drink.
Oh God, this is so much like Dad meeting my date… What the hell!
Ebonee: Hey Paul.
Paul: Hi, ready to get back in the mix?
Ebonee: Am I ever (smiles)
Big looks at them both and smiles, they look at him.
Ebonee: What?
Paul: What?
Big: Yeah right?
Ebonee: Whatever.
Big: Knew it, I'm right!
Paul: Limericks Big?
Big: Sure (smiles knowing that something is up with them.)
Paul: You ready?
Ebonee: Yeah.
Paul: See ya John.
Big: Okay, take care of her. (kisses Ebonee's cheek) And you be good.
Ebonee: Big, you really need to lay off the hard lemonade during the day (smiles) See you in Memphis.
Big: Okay kid.
They're driving through to Boston. Ebonee is sleeping. Paul brushes her cheek with the back of his hand when his phone rings. He puts in his earpiece.
Paul: Yeah.
Vince: You son of a gun!
Paul: To coin a Stone Cold phrase, What?
Vince: You and Ebonee made Entertainment Tonight.
Paul: For what? Driving cross country.
Vince: No a kid got some photos of you in Dallas. Same room?
Paul: What?
Vince: The kid leaked out info that you two were "sharing" that night at the hotel and a paparazzi followed you up the next morning. You move fast buddy.
Paul: It's not like that.
Vince: No? Well thank you anyway. Makes the storyline 3D.
Paul: Anything for you Vince! (hangs up) Bastard!
Ebonee: Hello. Sleeping Beauty. (sits up) What's up? Who was that?
Paul: Vince McMahan.
Ebonee: Oh?
Paul: He's playing up us.
Ebonee: How so?
Paul: Well, it seems some paparazzi were watching us in Dallas.
Ebonee: What?
Paul: Some kid was taking pictures, then ET was all over it.
Ebonee: ET? Okay I'm not following at all.
Paul: Entertainment Tonight.
Ebonee: All we did was go to our room.
Paul: Well that's not all. (smiles)
Ebonee: Yeah (smiles) what happened there?
Paul: How about I refresh your memory.
Ebonee: Absolutely! What does this mean? I mean does it mean anything, or is it just….
Paul: It meant something, you mean something.
Paul kisses her and they drive on.
An hour later Paul and Ebonee enter their room. Paul hits the shower as Ebonee sits on the bed, turns on the television and goes through the bag, JR sent with her new ring attire.
Black lowslung leather pants and an itty bitty N.W.O. baby tee.- Not bad.
Paul sticks his head out of the shower.
Paul: Ebby can you give me the conditioner out of my bag.
Ebonee: Okay.
Ebonee leans over the bed and gets the conditioner. Very manly, I didn't know men used shampoo!
Ebonee walks the shampoo over to Paul and he pulls her into the shower. They laugh as he embraces her.
Ebonee: Paul! I'm all wet
Paul: Well let me help you out of those wet clothes.
A while later Paul and Ebonee are asleep when his phone rings. Paul wakes up and answers it.
Paul: Hello? Hello? (Ebonee stirs Paul kisses her shoulder as she turns over) Look it's late. No I don't want to talk about this anymore! There's nothing to talk about. What?! What?! (Paul gets up out of bed and puts on the pants laying over the chair and walks out into the hall) This has got to end Joanie! Why?! Because you ended it! You're the one who walked away from me need I remind you….. You know there was nothing between me and Steph! No you got all those damn internet rumors going so people would feel sorry for you! Yes I do! Leave her out of it, you just better…. Don't call me again! (Paul hangs up so agitated and angry. He wants to punch his fist through a wall, but it's probally not the best thing to do.)
Paul walks back into his room. Ebonee is still sleeping. He takes off his pants and gets back in bed embracing her.
The next day in Philly. Ebonee is putting on her ring gear when she discovers they don't fit.
Ebonee: They're too tight.
Lillian (helping her get in): Suck it in. Suck it…
Ebonee: I am (gasping for air as Paul stands at the door and smiles) Oh shut up! (smiles. Paul winks at her and nods a hello to Lillian and leaves) Lilly they're just not fitting.
Lillian: But it's an eight, you're an eight.
Ebonee: Yes but an eight for a black girl is in reality a 10. (takes off pants shutting the door and trying on something else on the rack)
Lillian: So… you and Paul.
Ebonee: Yes. (smiles)
Lillian: He needs someone good for him.
Ebonee: Hope I fit the bill.
Lillian: Of course you do, you must. Paul is not exactly the easiest guy to get to. Many have tried and failed.
Ebonee: (Pulls on her N.W.O. Leather shorts) It's just happening fast.
Lillian: How so?
Ebonee: I don't know. Something about us is very primal. Quite passionate. I've never had that before.
Lillian: Well if there's anyone better to go primal with it's Triple H. You look fantastic.
Ebonee: This will have to do. I'm gonna have to have a talk with wardrobe. I'm in make-up chica see you later.
Lillian: Okay girlfriend.
Ebonee walks to make up. Someone new is here. Ebonee sits in the chair and he starts on her hair examining it.
Jorge: Tracks?
Ebonee: No all mine.
Jorge: Hmm.
Ebonee gives Trish a look as if to say, "Who is this jackass?" Trish giggles.
Jorge starts to spray water and gel on Ebonee's hair and diffuse it as Lori starts on her make-up.
Trish: Ready for tonight?
Ebonee: Absolutely terrified.
Trish: You'll be okay. I wonder what this trick is that Vince has up his sleeve.
Ebonee: Don't know, don't care as long as it doesn't involve me.
Trish: me too.
The girls chat a while, then their done and get ready for their cards.
Ebonee's music goes up and she walks out to the ring for her re-match with Lita. The match is fantastic. Ebonee's training really shows through as she avoids Lita's finishing moves and begins to win the match. Ebonee hits Lita with a top rope moonsault, but both women are knocked out in the ring. Towards the end of the 10 count Ebonee manages to crawl over to cover Lita, but Lita kicks out. Ebonee gets Lita in a sleeper. Paul Heyman distracts the ref for some odd reason when Ebonee is attacked by none other than the returning Chyna!!!
Ebonee is in shock as Chyna picks her up by the hair and slams her to the ground, pulls Lita on Ebonee and slides out of the ring. The ref starts to count the one-two-three, when Ebonee kicks out. Lita is a bit in shock too! The two continue their match and Lita sets Ebonee up for Matt's signature move when Chyna clotheslines her. The ref rings the bell ending the match. Ebonee gets up and Chyna again clotheslines her. Vince walks out on the ramp with a mike.
Vince: My rules! My rules! This is now an anyone wins match. You ring that bell and continue this damn match!
The match continues as Paul, Sean, and Kevin watch from back in shock.
Chynas brutality seems to be especially on Ebonee.
Chyna eliminates Lita by throwing her out of the ring, then attacks
Ebonee.
Ebonee: What are you doing?
Chyna: Getting back what's mine!
Chyna power slams Ebonee totally knocking the wind out of her and covers her for the three count to win the title!
