*Disclaimer* I do not own any WWFE persona's you recognize. They're most likely owned by Vince, since he's basically the devil or something. And Gwen, well, she owns herself. I'm just borrowing her name by permission. (Thanks Gwendolyn!) So there, oh yeah, I make no money off this, so just go read the story and review!!
Work wasn't bad for Chrissy. She hadn't had to talk to Lucy, yet. And supposedly, Glen's wife, Gwendolyn, was coming for a visit tonight… with their duck. Chrissy smiled to herself. She loved seeing Gwen. Gwen was a little bit eccentric, but in a fun loving way. Chrissy made her way back down the hall and called out to Hunter. "Hey!"
He turned around then smiled. "Hey Chrissy. How have you been?"
"Fine, waiting on a duck though."
He raised an eyebrow, and asked, "A what?"
Chrissy grinned and explained. "Gwendolyn, Glen's wife, is bringing their duck tonight." He shook his head. "Does the craziness run in the family?"
She thought for a moment, tapping a finger against her lip. "Um…. Yes. It's heredity. Both my parents were crazy." She laughed. "But truthfully, their duck is great. Glen doesn't want kids yet, so… Gwen got a duck. He's a cute duckie too!" Chrissy exclaimed.
"Duckie? WHERE!"
Hunter and Chrissy turned around to see a short woman dressed in black, with long blond hair and a small white duck in her hands. "Gwen!" Chrissy exclaimed.
"Duckie!" She grinned and stepped up to both of them. She petted her duck and looked over at Hunter and then back at Chrissy. "Well, I'm truthfully surprised to see you here, Chrissy. I thought you'd still be shackled up in your house with those duckies of yours."
"Glen's fault, really." Chrissy muttered.
"What? You have ducks too?" Hunter asked.
Chrissy shook her head, then smiled. "No, no, Gwen likes to call my dogs ducks." She shrugged and pointed to Gwen. "She's the only one with a duck."
Gwen grinned. "So, where's my Kane?"
"Out in the ring. We'll go out there now, okay?"
The three of them made their way out to the ring. Gwen's face was filled with happiness as she saw her husband in the ring, destroying Mark easily. Hunter looked over at Chrissy, who flashed him a smile. Gwen ran past both of them, jumped up, and held the duck up and yelled, "DUCKIE!"
Mark bounced off the ropes, then stopped, and burst into a fit of laughter.
Glen turned around, and he pulled off his mask and grabbed Gwen easily with one hand and picked her up over the ropes. "Gwen, and Elmer." He hugged her.
"So cute." Chrissy beamed towards Mark, who shot her a look.
Hunter scratched the back of his head, and laughed. "In an odd way, I guess."
She hit him on the arm. "It's cute. Gwen and Glen are made for each other." She watched the two of them hug and fawn over the little duckie, who quacked every few minutes.
Gwen squealed and hugged Glen again. "Don't you love the duckie?"
He nodded. "I told you I did."
She stopped for a moment and turned to look at Chrissy. "What exactly are you doing here, Chrissy?"
"Well… um… I'm coming back as a medic, just for a trial period though." She explained quietly.
Gwen grinned. "So that was your devious plan all along wasn't it, Glen!" She grinned at him and started to giggle.
Hunter laughed quietly to himself. "I think we should leave them be. They have lots of things to talk about, like ducks… or something." He shook his head, baffled.
Chrissy agreed and started to walk up the ring with him. "So, there's most of my family."
"Most? Who else is left?"
Chrissy ducked under the sheet, that was supposed be a door, and thought for a few moments. "Well, there's my mom, and my husband's parents."
"You're married?"
"Widowed." She said quietly, turning her eyes towards the floor.
Hunter placed his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, that's okay. We were just making conversation. It's not like I really wanted to talk about work or anything."
Chrissy nodded. "I know, but there's still a lot of pain. So, are you married or have a girlfriend?"
He grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "Well… I'm sort of with Stephanie."
She didn't say anything and kept on walking. She knew it would be better to keep her thoughts to herself.
"What? You don't like her?"
"Oh, it's not that, I don't know her, so I shouldn't say anything." She felt the pager buzz on her belt and she cursed. "Damn, sorry, Hunter, I guess we'll talk later. I have to go work." She laughed and ran away from him, to finally talk to Lucy.
Raven had been watching them talk, maybe there wasn't an electricity about them, but his sadness got the best of him. He figured he would never really have a chance with Christina. She was much too beautiful for him. He never got the girl. Hunter always did.
As she ran down the halls, she wondered for a moment about Hunter and Raven. They were the few who liked her, who accepted her, and in a way, it made Chrissy smile. She didn't want warm embraces from everyone; she didn't want to be the beautiful woman that everyone loved… she just wanted a few close friends. Chrissy wasn't too beautiful, or very outgoing, and definitely not loved by all, nor feared. She was just one of the normal people, just another girl in the crowd… and she wanted to keep it that way.
Hunter seemed to be just like that. Quiet, reserved, but deadly when he wanted to be. Raven… Raven was something else all together. He was loner, a recluse, and intellectual, more than any of the bleach blond steroid boys in the back. Chrissy liked that about him. He could just be another normal guy walking down the street.
She tore her thoughts away from the two men and kept on moving towards the medic area, then she saw Lucy glaring at her as she stepped forward. Jesus Christ, what's her problem? She wondered, then bit her tongue from saying anything she would regret later. "So, why'd you page me?"
Lucy sneered and straightened her navy blue blazer and matching skirt. "Work. Remember, that thing you're going to get paid for."
Chrissy forced herself to nod and smile.
"We're having a big show tonight. It's the last show before the pay-per view on Sunday. So, be ready for anything tonight. Vince will be pulling out all the stops."
She yawned and nodded. "Sure thing."
"Stop that insolent tone with me." Lucy snapped. "Vince listens to me and my progress report. So keep your good act up with everyone, but I can see through you."
Chrissy furrowed her brows. "Regardless, I do my job just fine, and everyone here knows it. So let me do my job." She sneered right back at Lucy and then went into the room; to start taping wrestler's for tonight.
Lucy stood out there for a moment. She tapped her foot for a moment, then said; "Do your job. Hmm, we'll just see how good your job is soon." She muttered darkly and went to go talk to Vince.
