Neo went back to the hotel to get changed so she could go shopping.
She went to the elevator. 'Out Of Order'.
"Great," she thought, "the most expensive hotel in Melbourne and their elevators don't even work."
She was half way up the stairs, when she heard someone call out her name. She turned around to see Chris at the bottom of then stairway.
"Neo, wait up." He ran up the stair and caught up to her.
They continued up the stairs together.
"I just wanted to say sorry about last night."
"This morning," Neo corrected him and smiled.
"What?" he asked with a strange look on his face.
"When you got in, it was five am."
"It was? I was completely out of it. I'm never going to get use to jet lag."
They both laughed.
"Where have you been?" Chris asked looking down at Neo's clothing and bag.
"Oh nowhere, I just had a tryout with a local promotion," she mumbled depressingly.
"Really?" Chris asked slightly curious.
"I didn't make it, plus the owner was a complete perv." Neo answered, half laughing.
They made it to their respective doors.
"Well I have to go get change, I've gotta go shopping."
"Yeah, I've gotta go down the arena to run down everything for tonight."
"So I see you then?"
"Yeah I guess you will, where are you sitting tonight?" he asked keenly.
"On the left hand side of the ringside section, about four rows back."
"Cool, I'll look for ya."
They both went into their rooms.
Neo had a shower and got dressed into her cargo pants and furry hooded jumper and put her external steel capped boots with flames up the side. She grabbed her mini space backpack and headed down stairs.
As Neo exited the art supply store she saw the perfect pair of boots in the window of the local Shoe Depo. So she decided to go inside to try them on and see the price.
She was trying the red colored Red Peppers, when she heard a distinct voice.
"I don't care Shane, I'm the General Manager. I have a standard I must maintain and these shoes go great with my new outfit."
Neo turned around to see Shane and Stephanie McMahon arguing playfully. Stephanie was holding a pair of blue knee-high heels.
Neo took a deep breath and decided to go introduce herself. She had survived meeting Chris of course she could hack meeting the young McMahons, even if they were the heirs to the sports-entertainment crown.
So she put her boots back on and grabbed the Red Peppers and her backpack.
"Hi, Shane right?" Neo held out her hand.
"Yeah?" Shane asked cautiously.
"Oh, I'm not a stalker. I suppose you could call me a friend of a friend."
"Really who?" Stephanie chipped in inquisitively.
"Chris Irvine, we met this morning when he stumbled into my room."
"Oh," Shane said, "You are the famous Neo?"
"Yes, how do you know about me?" Neo asked. She was intrigued by the fact that Shane O'Mac knew who she was.
"I had lunch with Chris, he couldn't stop talking you and I can see what he was talking about. You are definitely interesting."
"Is that meant to be a compliment or an insult?" she asked raising her pierced eyebrow.
"Defiantly a compliment." He smiled his famous grin.
Neo stood there staring at him for a few seconds then realized what she was doing and shook it off.
"Well, we have to go," Stephanie called as she headed towards the register.
"Yeah I guess if we don't go my dad's gunna have our asses" he started to follow Stephanie.
"Yeah." Neo scanned her mind for something to say then it hit her that she still had the boot in her hand. "Shit!"
"What?" Shane turned around.
"I forgot to check the price of these."
"Don't worry we'll get them, any friend of Chris is a friend ours," Shane said confidently.
"Are you sure?" Neo asked reluctantly.
"Of course we are," Stephanie said, "especially seeing I have my daddy's platinum card."
"Thanks," Neo said when they got out of the shop.
"It's okay, so we'll see you later then?" Shane said as he and Stephanie got into his car.
"I think it's more likely I'll see you tonight, there is very little chance we will ever meet again." Neo said trying to correct him.
"Ya never know," Shane said raising his eyebrows before driving away.
This left Neo standing there confused.
She went to the elevator. 'Out Of Order'.
