" You see, there is a problem." Vince held up a hand when Christina opened her mouth to speak out. " But its only a little problem, one that we have already taken care of and only need you to cooperate."
" What is it? Is it something about me that the company doesnt like?" She knew it, geez, no wonder it felt wierd when they said they wanted her for the promotion. She could feel her heart plunging down to the depths of her stomach.
" Christina, I AM the company, and I like you very much indeed. But before I say more, I want to introduce to you Taylor Raven Hayes." He put a hand on her arm and turned her to the far end of his office. Sitting in the black leather seat in front of Vince's desk sat a dark, almost pitch black haired beauty with angular features that seemed to have been molded by the most talented sculptor. Taylor sat cross-legged, her skin tight jeans and halter tank top hugged her curves as to making them look painted on.
Taylor smirked arrogantly as she got up, struting over across the room towards The Rock, Vince and Christina. Sticking a hand out to shake, Christina raised an eyebrow when Taylor walked right along past her as if she werent there and flitted over to The Rock, shaking his hand with both her small ones. Standing up, Christina was able to fully to size up the stranger. Taylor's hair WAS black as a raven, green eyes peeking out the top of the 5'4" girl,skinny asa twig, but blessed with a small amount of curves. Christina narrowed her eyes as she watched Taylor flirt obviously with The Great One.
" Hi, I'm Taylor Hayes, but you can call me Raven." Her sultry voice betrayed her child like looks. " Im the Be A Diva winner."
Vince could swear that he heard a collective 'Huh?!' from The Rock and Christina, both sporting the same raised eyebrow look exactly to the smallest degree.
" No, I'm sorry, you must be mistaken, but I'm Christina McCullen the real Be a Div-"
" No, actually, your BOTH wrong.You're wrong because your BOTH the Be a Diva winners, sweethearts." Vince McMahon said, calmly walking around his desk and sitting down in the plush leather executive seat.He motioned to the two women in front of him. " Unless you'd like to sit down, take a seat and let me explain."
" I'd rather stand."
" Ugly AND ungrateful! Your on a roll, honey...."
Christina did a double take, looking down on the now sitting Taylor with her legs crossed and a smirk on her face. " Excuse me?! "
Vince put up a hand, stopping them both in their tracks. " Now, now, listen please. You see, this is a very rare circumstance in this situation. You ladies were the two most prominent of all the entries that we at the WWF recieved and I just couldnt decide which one to choose." Vince continued after a snort was heard from The Rock from behind the two women. " So, knowing that Paul Heyman was knowledgable on these kinds of matters, I asked him for help."
" You got Paul Gay-man to think this whole thing up?!?!?" Rock asked, crossing his arms.
" Actually, I wouldn't be complaining Rock, besides, what we came up with may very well put money in your pockets and bring these two lovely ladies to stardom." He finished, motioning to Christina and Taylor.
" Count me in!" Taylor glowed, her voice high and eyes glazed over.
" What's the deal, McMahon?" Christina crossed her arms, looking at him suspiciously.
" I have scheduled for The Rock to compete- with Christina at his side- against The Next Big Thing with Taylor ' Raven' Hayes at Smack Down in two weeks!"
The next few minutes were spent shouting out " Are you crazy?! ", " Brock Lesnar!? You must be nuts!" , " Your going to put the People's Champ against the next Big Dupe?" , " Will my insurance even pay for this?" and " No, I wont do it!" . The last one coming from Christina.
" Yes! Dont you see? Smack Down will be huge! With a win under his belt, The Rock or Brock Lesnar will get paid generously, and the two ladies will get the promotion they want and deserve! Christina, dont tell me that for as long as you've been a fan of wrestling that you havent dreamed of yourself in the middle of the ring, thousands of worshipping eyes on you? This is your chance to do this!"
Christina faultered, fully aware that Vince was manipulating her into fighting in the ring. " You told us we wouldnt need wrestling skills, McMahon. Dont go back on your word."
" But that's the thing! " He replied, standing up and reaching over for Christina and Taylor, wrapping an arm around their shoulders." YOU wont be wrestling, Rock and Lesnar will! I just need you to add more spice to the match, make people flipping through the channels want to keep watching. THEN will you be recognized by the public and be known as one of the few, the proud, the WWE Divas."
Taylor made a face. " Sounds like a Marine's commercial to me." Vince McMahon shrugged. " Hey, it works so why not?" He then turned to face the both of them." So will you do it? I've got a meeting with Paul in two hours, I can give him the answer then."
" If the pay is up to my standards, then I'll do it." Taylor crossed her arms and smirked at Christina." So? How about you, are you game?"
" Anything to get your ego deflated, "Raven" , just hope you know what you're getting into....."
" Great! I'll schedule it with Heyman today and get the lineup set up. Taylor, I'm going to need you to stay with me. Since Christina already met her partner, I'll be the first to introduce you to Brock Lesnar."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ( Later on that day)
After settling down in her hotel room payed complimentary by WWE, Christina toured the numerous hallways and locker rooms of the headquarters with Dwayne as her guide. Stopping at an unmarked gray locker room door, Christina looked up at him, waiting for an explanation.
" It doesnt have your name on it yet, but this will be where you'll get ready before a match. Your own private locker room, it isnt new but it'll work for now."
The empty locker room was painfully plain and small, but it made her thankful that she was ACTUALLY in the WWE, even if its only temporary.
" Dwayne, whats that on the table?" She asked, walking to a wooden table placed in the center of the room and picked up a blank unmarked video tape, turning it over in her hands.
Taking it from her hands, Dwayne looked it over and shrugged. " Well, only one way to find out." Sticking the video in the T.V. / VCR that hung from the ceiling in the corner of the room, Dwayne pressed play and waited as the video started running.
A wrestling match was going on, the ring surrounded by the usual overcrowded audience and photographers. Inside the ring, the towering blonde figure of Brock Lesnar stood over an unknown wrestler,lying still and silent. When the figure's fallen victim moved his head slightly, the curly blonde hair fell back to reveal his face.
Gasping, Christina pressed a hand to the television screen. " Oh my God, thats Edge!" Dwayne walked up from behind her and took her small hand from off the screen, pulling her away from the screen by her shoulders and both watched as Brock Lesnar completely and mercilessly pulverized Edge beyond recognition until he was pinned down for the count.
Christina's eyes were glued to those of the pained Edge, his expression clearly cut out of excruciating pain. The focus in the video changed until Taylor appeared on the screen, her arrogant smirk plastered unto her face. That smile ticked off something inside Christina, her fists at her side clenched, and she scowled deeply.
" I hope you find your new locker room suitable for you, sweetie. Dont want Mr. Peoples Champ's assistant to be uncomfortable, now would we? " Taylor had seated herself in an executive style leather chair, her tanned legs crossed and blood red nails tapping against the seats arm. " What you just saw is only a minor preview of what we will do to you pathetic idiots two weeks from now at Smack Down."
" Brock won't be as merciful to you as he was with Edge when you're in his hands, Rock. " Taylor continued, leaning closer towards the camera now. " And 'Nina, I suggest you ready yourself up, now. Because at Smack Down, I'll be waiting for you." And with that final note, the screen turned black.
" Damn, she's more of a psycho than Victoria. " Dwayne muttered, moving away from the screen, sitting himself on the locker room bench and ran a hand through his croped black hair. " Where the hell did Vince come up with this chick?"
She stood by the television and crossed her arms to her chest, keeping her eyes still on the black screen. " She's a competitor, I can tell that about her." At this, Dwayne looked up at her from across the room. " But still, she doesnt leave that competitiveness behind her in the ring. Taylor's desparate about winning that belt and will use any means to get it."
" That other Jambroni's the same way, you know. Once Lesnar gets something on his mind, he'll destroy everything in his path that blocks his way, no matter what it is." Dwayne replied slowly, closed his eyes and sighed. " They're perfect together, their personalities will really click on tv. Damn, I hate Heyman but I gotta hand it to him, he really knows how to put together a tag team."
" You're not really afraid of Lesnar, are you?" Christina asked from across the room. Dwayne had opened his eyes and both looked at each other full on. " I've watched him since his debut in the company....." She shook her head, turning her eyes to the floor to think. " No one's ever beaten him, he's unstoppable."
She felt Dwayne stand up and walk to the door, stopping before leaving to turn to her one more time. " It doesnt MATTER wether or not I'm afraid of him, which I'm not, because we still have to face him. But just because no one he's faced has beaten him yet, doesnt mean that he's unbeatable. He's just a human being just like every one else, remember that."
At the sound of the door closing softly behind her, Christina sighed. " He's not a man, he's an animal, Dwayne."

*sigh* Forgive me to those who want a quick romance and a quick ending, but I think that I'm not one of those mushy authors whose romances come quickly and just plops them anywhere in the story. ( although Im an avid reader of these kind of stories, lol) The romance has to develop itself into my plot and basically its gonna be slow, so just humor me. Unlike my other stories that I just write out of nowhere, I'm actually brain storming to develop the story to make this my best effort for you. So please, if you at least like it a little, or totally hate it, please review and tell me what you think. Until laters, bye!
