This routine went on for weeks, with Natalie travelling with Adam and Jason, and sometimes some of the other
wrestlers. She went home once, to tell her flatmate to find a new buddy, and to grab her stuff.

They held hands and kissed, but her relationship with Adam had never gone any further. He knew she was a virgin,
and he respected her for it. She'd never told anyone else - for fear they'd laugh at her. But he hadn't. So now
she knew everything was good. She was gaining a real insight into the business, day after day travelling with the
guys (and girls), and picking up tips. She'd even bumped a couple of times, when she'd been watching Adam in the
ring, and he'd invited her up to train with him and whoever for a while. She'd enjoyed it.

Once, she was watching as Kurt Angle and Adam were in the ring working on a match. It was pretty standard, and they
were pretty bored, so they taught her some moves for a while. Kurt showed her how to take an Angle Slam, and then let
her hurricanrana him. They'd gone through some basic stuff, too, but then some other guys needed to work in the ring.

So, sitting backstage with Kurt and Adam, her little bit of training popped into the conversation. 'You know, Natalie,
you should get trained up properly, and be Adam's intergender tag partner!' Kurt laughed, as Natalie smiled. 'I do wanna
get trained, but I'm not sure I'd have the guts to actually wrestle!' she said, watching Adam's expression as it brightened.
He smiled. 'Ah. Then baby, you need to be a valet.'.

Vince knew Natalie, and he liked her, though he had his concerns over her nerves. But hey, she was a good looking girl who
could bump, and was trained by Edge and Kurt Angle. And she wasn't an airhead. As far as he was concerned, she could go out
and be Adam's valet as soon as she wanted. So she did.

Now she was waiting backstage to walk out with Adam for his big pay-per-view match with Kurt. 'I'm nervous Adam' she said, clutching
his hand. He kissed her softly. 'It's OK, Nat, you'll rock.'. 'EDGE AND NATALIE' a man's voice shouted, and Adam's music began.

Edge walked out onto the ramp, with Natalie in tow. The crowd cheered for the new girl, not knowing where she had come from, or
what she was doing. She followed Edge down the ramp, then climbed into the ring and pointed at him, the crowd still cheering.
She climbed to the outside, and the rest was a blur. The match, it was so exciting being there! But when she heard her signal of
Edge slamming to the ground, she was more than ready for her spot! Natalie clambered into the ring and slapped Kurt right across the
face, just as Terri had taught her. Then she dodged him, and went for the Hurricanrana. He reversed, and - THUD - she slammed onto the
floor. It hadn't hurt the thirty times she'd tried it, but now it did. A burning sensation flew up through her back and she screamed.
Then blacked out.
