"Just A Dream Series: "The Interview"

By: Crystal
"Wake up!"

I'm tossing and turning in my bed. Did I hear something just now? Was somebody talking?

"Wake up, Jellybean!"

Okay, now THAT was my older sister Danielle. Why does she have to wake me up? What did I do now?

"Keondra, come on and get up!"

That's Keondra's older sister Misha. Keondra had spent the night and we'd actually gotten to bed pretty late. I'm lookin over at her now, and she's whining. Misha is literally pulling her out of bed and onto the floor.

My sleep had gotten intercepted, and so you could imagine how pissed I was. Wait a minute...what the hell is that light shining in my face? Why are cameras getting shots of me and my entire room? This couldn't be happening...all I want is some sleep! What is wrong with that? Somebody please explain that to me, because I honestly don't know.

"Danielle...what are cameras doing in my room?"

"Oh Habibula! You and Pumpkin Patches are going somewhere, so get dressed." Danielle said.

Let me just tell you that my sister has plenty of nicknames that she calls me and Keondra, and I'm the same way with her. So it's common for us to throw any name in every now and then.

"Wait a minute...what?" Keondra asked, confused.

"Pumpkin Patches, you're going to see Vin Diesel and Queen Jellybean over here is going to see The Rock. You two are on MTV's Fanatic, girly!" Danielle said, smiling.

Keondra and I look at each other, then look at our smiling older sisters. Things were really getting weird!

"Stop lying..." Keondra said, walking to my window.

"Oh my gosh, Crissy! There's a limo parked outside your house!" Keondra said, smiling.

I was stunned. I looked at Misha who was nodding her head yes, and then Danielle who was smiling.

"Yeah Buddy!" I said, laughing with Keondra.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"The Rock and Vin Diesel have instructed that I show you young ladies to their rooms." Some guy who worked at the Doubletree Hotel said to Keondra and myself.

"Um, okay..." Keondra and I said, looking back at our sisters.

We follow the guy into the elevator and we manage to make it to the floor that Vin and Dwayne are staying on. Coincidentally, their rooms are right across the hall from each other. Dwayne's is on the right, and Vin's the left.

Keondra and I hug then take out respective places in front of our doors. The guy-named Todd as I see on his name tag-opens up the door, letting Dwayne know that I'm here. Danielle gives me this crazy look, and now I've suddenly got cold feet and am afraid to go in. I look behind me and see that Misha and Keondra are gone! Well, at least they made it in before we did...

Danielle literally shoves me into the hotel room, and I spot Dwayne amidst all the cameras. He's sitting in this black leather armchair. He has on these blue baggy jeans, Nikes, and a thin white sweater. He looks so good though!

"Oh My God..." I say, going to run out the room, but Danielle stops me.

"Girl, if you don't go over there to that man, I WILL." Danielle said, giving me a smile.

"You wouldn't!" I said, starting to walk to Dwayne as I watched Danielle sit down on the side of the room, away from the cameras.

"Hi, I'm Crystal." I say, shaking Dwayne's hand and getting a good look at him.

"Hi honey." Dwayne said, getting up and hugging me, flashing me a cute smile.

Ooh! I can't tell you what this feels like! His arms wrapped around me...I have my head practically buried in his chest. It's THAT serious.

"This is my sister Danielle..she's the one who sent in the tape of me." I say.

Danielle gives me this weird look like, am I sure I want her to be hugged all up on Dwayne. But like the gentleman he is you know Dwayne hugged her.

"Hi Danielle...oh, and I guess I should be saying thanks for sending in the tape, too."

"Hey Rock." Danielle said as they hugged. I watched Danielle sit down.

Dwayne: Oh man...you're bout ready to get me in the hot seat now? I see you with your lil' clipboard ready to fire away!

Crystal: You know it!

Crystal: First of all, I'd just like to know what to call you... Rock or Dwayne or does it really matter?

Dwayne: (in character) The Rock says of COURSE it doesn't matter! I'm playin'...see, you set yourself up for that one.

Crystal: I guess I did. So Dwayne, how's life been treating you?

Dwayne: I can't complain. I really can't. I just recently finished up shooting my latest movie temporarily titled Helldorado. The cast is a great group of people, and I really enjoyed myself. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Crystal: That's good, that's good. And what about your baby girl Simone? I know she just turned a year old a few months ago in August.

Dwayne: Pebbles, as I like to call her, is doing great. Um, yes she just turned a year old in August and if you can believe it is ALREADY trying to get big on me! Let me tell you, baby girl is a year old and acts like she's 20! (laughs)

Crystal: (laughs) How do you feel about the way people have been viewing your absence from the WWE? Some say you're leaving for good this time, others say you're not.

Dwayne: Let me ask YOU a question. How do you feel about my absence thus far? And please, be honest. (smiles)

Crystal: You got me on the spot now! Um, my feeling is just basically this. You're doing what you want to do at this point. You're a man and you feel you can handle both tasks of being that of an actor and an entertainer. You obviously wouldn't take on something you didn't think you'd be able to handle. Many people doubt that you can take on both, but you have proven them wrong, so why stop now? And the fact of you going off and filming movies doesn't necessarily mean that you're quitting. I know how strongly you feel about the WWE, that it means a lot to you. For you to turn your back on the WWE without good reason would be like a slap in the face to your fans. So right now, if you were to go into acting I'd support you even if you left the WWE. It wouldn't and doesn't matter to me, because as long as you are happy with what you're doing, I am too.

Dwayne: Well said. It's actually pretty humbling to sit here and hear you say all of that. To know that I have fans out there like that, as passionate and as supportive as you, only inspires me even more. Thank you, Crystal. Damn, who am I kidding? Get up here and give me another hug, girl. I'm bout to get emotional up in here.

I get up out my chair and Dwayne and I hug...again.

Dwayne: Thank you again. Oh, and before I forget, this is for you honey.

From behind the small table that is next to Dwayne, he pulls out a bag that has "Tiffany's" on it. He hands it to me with a huge smile on his face. I open the bag, and take out a long and slender black box. Opening the box, exposed is a diamond tennis bracelet.

Crystal: Oh my gosh! Thank you Dwayne! It's beautiful!

Dwayne: When I get a chance to meet a fan like you, it's more than a pleasure. This is the third time, but I just want to say thank you. (laughs)

Crystal: It's no problem. I'm just speaking my mind. I didn't mean to make The Rock all upset and emotional! (laughs)

Dwayne: (in character) Upset The Rock? Come on, honey! You know The Rock is tough! The Rock is hard! Don't make him lay the smack down on that ass! (laughs)

Crystal: Oh yeah? How is The Rock gonna lay the smack down when he's hard? (laughs)

Dwayne: (laughs hysterically) See, I wasn't even thinking like that! Danielle, are you hearing this? Are you hearing how your baby sister is talking? What a shame...kids these days, I tell you. (shakes head)

Danielle laughed and shook her head at me. I couldn't even look at her with a straight face.

Crystal: Dwayne, what are you gonna do? YOU set yourself for that. C'mon...The Rock is hard? I thought you called yourself Big Daddy. (laughs)

Dwayne: (laughs) You are too much. And you have a nerve to ask me what I'm gonna DO? I'll TELL you what I'm gonna do...

Before I can even blink, Dwayne is standing next to me and whispering in my ear. I'm at a loss for words now!

Dwayne: (in a tough voice) now you BETTER listen to me the next time! I don't wanna have to do what I said just now...

Danielle is mouthing for me to tell her what he said to me, but I'm not telling. You can believe that!

Crystal: (sarcastic) I'm so sorry, Dwayne.

Dwayne: You BETTER say that. Now onto your next question. (smiles)

Crystal: How are you as far as checking out fan sites dedicated to you on the Internet? What are your opinion of them?

Dwayne: I'm not on the Net much, but whenever I get some spare time I try to check 'em out. They're cool, and I respect what my fans are doing. Again, it's very humbling to see how my fans express themselves. It lets me know if what I'm doing appeals to them or in the same token, doesn't appeal to them.

Crystal: I know this is YOUR interview, but can I just give a quick shout- out?

Dwayne: (laughs) Sure. Go right ahead.

Crystal: All my sistas of Dwayne Johnson Fever, you know who you are, I love you! I know ya'll wish you could be here with the sexiest man on God's green earth, but I am! Ha ha!

Dwayne: Dwayne Johnson Fever? Is that like a club or something?

Crystal: (laughs) It is sort-of...for all peoples that suffer from the DJ Fever, you know. It's a site dedicated to you!

Dwayne: I can't say I'm familiar with that site. What do ya'll do on there?

Crystal: Why don't you guess? DJF sistas, this is for you!

Dwayne: I know you talk about me...what kinda things ya'll be sayin about me?

Crystal: You don't wanna know. (blushes)

Dwayne: What? (laughs) You're talking about me, Dwayne Johnson! I think I'd wanna know what my fans are saying about me! You're not going to tell me, are you?

Crystal: (smiles) Nope.

Dwayne: That's aight. Hiram, could you come here please?

Out of nowhere, Dwayne's assistant Hiram walks up to Dwayne. DJ takes the laptop that he was using and sets it in his lap. Now, DJ is looking directly at me.

Dwayne: Give me the site address.

Crystal: What? Why?

Dwayne: Because I want it, that's why. You better give it to me, girl! Danielle, do you know this site your sister be going on?

I'm looking at Danielle who's shaking her head no and laughing hysterically at what's going on.

Crystal: See, you're not gonna get it no matter WHAT you do.

Dwayne: Oh yes I am...Come here.

Dwayne is giving me this really sexy look, and I don't know if its intentional or what, but I'm not budging.

Crystal: No.

Dwayne: Do you want me to get on my knees, right here?

I'm not gonna say what is going through my mind after that comment he just made, but ya'll KNOW what I'm thinking! I know you do! Dwayne can, because he's scrutinizing my face and he can definitely tell. I'm in trouble now!

Crystal: Get on your knees to do what exactly? (smiles)

Dwayne: Hey! (smiles and then laughs) You better stop. I know what that look is for...your sister will have done put me in handcuffs and used her red mase on me if I would do what you're thinking about right now! Them corporals like your sis don't play! (laughs)

Danielle: You got that right! (laughs and give me a you-know-better look)

Dwayne: Can you get your mind out the gutter for once and come over here, PLEASE? (laughs)

I stand up and Dwayne's gaze is set right on me as I walk over to him. He smiles at me and before I know it he pulls me down in his lap. Danielle just covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud at the look I have on my face, and now she's running out the room. I hear her laughing hysterically in the bathroom now.

Dwayne: Type in the site address.

Crystal: Fine.

So I do it, and now I've entered Dwayne Johnson Fever. I go to get up, but Dwayne stops me, sitting me back down in his lap.

Dwayne: Where you going? You're not done! You are gonna sit right here. And anyway something just grabbed my attention. What the hell is Dwayne Johnson Fan Fiction?

I freeze up. Oh my God, no he's not asking about the fan fics! This is crazy! Well, I can't lie to him.

Crystal: They're fictional stories about YOU obviously, and they are written by some of us female fans. They're called fan fics for short.

Dwayne: Okay, click on it to go to the fan fic page page. You done sparked my interest, girl! I wanna read a lil' somethin-somethin bout myself!

I'm on the fan fic page where all the fics are listed. I try and be slick by scrolling down the page real quick so that he won't see my name. Apparently, I'm not as slick as I thought, because he is using his hand over top of mine on the mouse to now scroll back up.

Dwayne: Looka-here, looka-here, looka-here! What is this? We got a little talented writer up in here, I see!

Danielle was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her beet red face. She was complaining also about her cheeks hurting from laughing so much. She's loving the fact that I've gotten caught. She is so ignorant!

Danielle: You're caught! Too bad, Jellybean!

Dwayne: What's this? Crystal's written SEVERAL things, haven't you? Lemme see...More Than Just Friends, Love Trial, Wishes Do Come True, Big Brother :WWE Style, Just A Dream Series. So many to choose...where do I start first? Oh wait, let me read this warning up at the top of the page. Fan fictions may contain graphic language and...sexual content! Crystal! Do any of your fan fics have those things in them?

Crystal: I don't know, Dwayne.

Dwayne: Well we'll just have to find out then, won't we?

Crystal: No, that's okay. (blushes)

Again, I tried getting up but right back into his lap I went. My sitting position wasn't bad by ANY means, but the idea of Dwayne reading my fics was a slight bit overwhelming. He told the cameras to back away from where we were sitting so that only the 2 of us could see the screen. Dwayne is about to read my fics, little does he know what awaits him. Somebody shoot me now!

Dwayne: Hmm...what to read first?

Dwayne searched the page of fan fics and told me what he was going to read a little of.

Dwayne: I'm gonna read More Than Just Friends and then Big Brother. That aight with you?

Crystal: Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The cameras are gone now to go to Keondra's interview with Vin Diesel. I'm still sitting on Dwayne's lap (and really enjoying it too!), waiting to get a word from him about my fics.

Crystal: So, what do you have to say?

Dwayne: Let me look at you again right quick!

Dwayne turns me around and stares me straight in my face. What is he doing staring at me like that? Crystal: Why?

Dwayne: I can't believe THIS same person sitting here is that same person who writes such...CREATIVE things about me! There, that's a word for it. Creative! You don't look like the type of person to...

Crystal: To what?

Dwayne: Nothing. I'm only joking. You're a very interesting character though, I'll say that. It's flattering that you say those things about me, no doubt about that. It's just that, ah...I had no idea my fans were such freaky people! (laughs)

Danielle's eyes got wide after Dwayne said that last comment.

Danielle: (in a suspicious and loud voice) Freak like HOW?

Dwayne: Nothing! I'm just playing with her. Calm down, Jellybean!

I laughed at the fact that he was using me and my sister's word. I didn't expect him to come out his mouth saying that!

I turned my head up to look at Dwayne and mouthed a quick but sincere thank you. He smiled at me and stroked my back, and that was all I needed to see that he was cool with it.

Dwayne: Hey Danielle...would you mind if I spent some more time talking with Crystal?

Whoa, where was THIS coming from? I had no idea what he was up to but if it meant me spending more time with him, I was all FOR it!

Danielle: Sure, it's cool. I was just gonna go for something to eat anyway. Crystal, when you are ready just give me a call on my cell and I'll be back here to get you.

Dwayne got up right along with me, and we walked over to Danielle. Dwayne said thanks and slipped her a $100 for herself. I hugged and kissed my sister goodbye, and Hiram went with her. If you ask ME, I think Mister Hiram Garcia has a crush on my sister! Oh well, they are gone now. Dwayne is shutting the door and...okay, locking it. (?) I don't know what that's about it.

Dwayne: Now, it's time for YOUR interview.

Crystal: Really?

Dwayne sets me down in the leather chair that he was sitting in earlier, and he sits across from me on the sofa. Now I was in the hot seat! I could only help but wonder what kind of questions he had!

Dwayne: Yes really. (smiles)

Crystal: Alright then, let's do it.

Dwayne: Nice choice of words, Crystal. (laughs)

Crystal: (mocking Dwayne) See, I wasn't even thinking like that! Danielle, are you hearing this? Are you hearing how your baby sister is talking? What a shame...kids these days, I tell you. (laughs)

Dwayne: You think you're funny, huh?

Crystal: No, but you are. (laughs)

Dwayne: Yeah, I am. (laughs) No, but what's up with these fan fics you be writing about me?

Crystal: I knew that was coming...(blushes)

Dwayne: Oh yeah. That hot seat starting to boil over yet? (laughs)

Crystal: No, not yet. (laughs nervously) What do you mean what's up with my fan fics? You don't like them? I'm not the only one who writes them, you know.

Dwayne: Oh no, I don't have a problem with them! Course not!

Crystal: So you like them?

Dwayne: Yeah, they're cool. You girls have some really creative imaginations, I'll tell you that. If your fan fics were just a taste of what to expect if I were to read some more fics by other writers, I don't know what I'd do! Ya'll are crazy! (laughs)

Crystal: Yeah, we're crazy. We're crazy about you, DJ!

Dwayne: So I see! (laughs)

Dwayne: No, but seriously...

Dwayne gets up and comes over to me, then breathes down my neck. This sent shivers down my spine and made my skin tingle a little bit.

Dwayne: (whispers) Those things you wrote about me in your story...are those things that you wish could actually happen?

Crystal: What are you talking about, Dwayne?

Dwayne: Do you HAVE to ask?

Crystal: Are you asking if I want you to do the things that I illustrated in my story...to me?

Dwayne: I'm asking if you've ever THOUGHT about me doing those things to you.

I was silent, and didn't want to say anything. He had caught me BIG TIME.

Dwayne: (whispers) That seat's starting to get a little hot now, huh?

Crystal: It's boiling actually...not boiling over the top, but it's still boiling. (blushes)

Dwayne: So...answer my question. You ever think about me doing those things to you?

Again, I'm silent.

Dwayne: (whispers) I'm waiting...

He takes his hand and starts to slowly but surely make his way up my leg and underneath my skirt that I had on.

Crystal: This isn't a fair way of you getting me to confess, I hope you know.

Dwayne: So I was right. (smiles)

Crystal: I guess you were...but was the touching really necessary? (smiles)

Dwayne: I felt how you jumped all the sudden when I did that. Don't act like you didn't like it. And anyway, I had no choice but to do it. I had to get you to talk, and you talked didn't you?

Crystal: Yeah, you got me to talk. Are you sure you're not mad about me putting things in my fan fics about you that are based on my personal thoughts?

Dwayne: Okay, that's how you choose to express yourself. I'm not one to sit and judge someone because of something they may say or write, knowing it's coming from their heart like that.

Crystal: Alright.

Dwayne: I just wanna know what about me intrigues the HELL out of you so much! I mean, I'm not THAT special, damn! (laughs)

Crystal: Several things. But for the most part, I just think that you're incredibly sexy. (laughs)

Dwayne: Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself, honey. But damn, I just can't get over them sex scenes!

Crystal: Oh my goodness! You're never gonna let me live that down, are you? What can I say? You feed my inspiration. (laughs)

Dwayne: And what do your fans think about your stories? I know you have to have plenty of them and if I can say so, you've just earned another one in me. (smiles)

Crystal: You're only saying that because they're about you! (laughs)

Dwayne: No, I'm serious! You're really good, and you definitely show all the broad spectrum of emotions in your stories. You're really good at manipulating an audience where one minute they are totally into one of your sex scenes, and then a few minutes later they're on the edge of their seats. You should join the writing team we have for us at the WWE! (laughs) I'm really curious to know what your fans say to you, though.

Crystal: Thank you for the compliments! Um, my fans primarily make up my DJF sistas, and in addition to you, they without a shadow of a doubt inspire me. I'm constantly trying to think of new things to include in my stories to bring even more emotion out of them, like no offense, but the whole angle with Dany as being the crazed and deranged ex of yours in MTJF. That's an example. Every now and then I throw some curve balls in my fics for that purpose. In the end, it pays off when I get excellent feedback from them. One girl who I consider to be my number one fan, Maia (you know who you are, girl!)sends me e-mails telling me I'm doing a great job, that I'm funny as hell, and actually wants me to start up another fan fic with her being the starring character in addition to you, of course. It's little things like that, that let me know it's all worth it.

Dwayne: The fans are great, aren't they? (laughs)

Crystal: Yeah. Now I know what you mean when you talk about the fans and just how much they mean to you and your performance.

Dwayne: If I were to do any of the things mentioned in your fics, what would you do?

Crystal: This seat of mine is officially starting to boil over right now, and I can't stop it. (nervously laughs)

Dwayne: That's too bad. Maybe I can do something about that.

Dwayne is now kissing my neck, and I honestly don't want him to stop. But this is strange! If my sister knew what I was getting involved in, let ALONE what Dwayne and I were talking about, she would literally have my ass! And THEN she'd lock his ass up without hesitation, making sure to cuss him out while doing it too. This is real crazy!

Crystal: If you were to do something like out my fics, I don't know what I'd do. I doubt I'd stop you, to tell you the truth.

Dwayne: Oh, and the plot thickens! You wouldn't stop me, huh? (smiles)

Crystal: (laughs) I'm not stopping you now, am I?

Dwayne is kissing one side of my neck and is stroking the other. I'm in a deep trance right now. I am getting up out of my chair and am standing in front of Dwayne, saying nothing. Our eyes are locked on each other, and silence fills the room. After a few seconds of staring in his eyes and pondering things over my mind, I make my way over to Dwayne. He puts his arm around me and slides down to my butt, bringing me close to him. My hands are drifting underneath his white sweater, rubbing his massive chest.

Dwayne: You sure you wanna do this? You know what you're getting yourself into? (gives sexy look)

Crystal: Put it this way...if I didn't want to do this, I'd be gone a long time ago. But what about you? What if you get in trouble?

Dwayne: Don't you worry about me, baby. And besides, noone (pulls me to him so that our bodies are touching) is going to find out anything anyway, because we're the only two people in this room, aren't we?

Crystal: Okay, you're right.

Dwayne: I know I am. (smiles)

About a split second later Dwayne picks me up off the ground, wrapping my legs around his waist. I'm steadily looking in his eyes, following his lead. I don't know what my problem is, because my conscious on one hand is telling me to go through with this, that I need to do it. And then on the other hand, I'm thinking that it's wrong, that things are going to be really weird after this.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~

Dwayne: Why you so quiet, honey?

Crystal: Just a little shocked and in disbelief, that's all. Damn...I had no idea that you'd bring it like THAT.

Dwayne: Well, what can I say? When you got skills like me...(laughs)

Crystal: See, you KNOW you're bad!

Dwayne: So overall, what did you think about this interview?

Crystal: The best damn interview I've ever been on...damn! You don't do that on all your interviews, do you?

Dwayne: Nah, just with yours.

~THE END~
