AN: Well, I'm back! LOL! I've got to apologize for the huge lack of updates. I was in a funk for a very long time, but I'm ok now. Better than ok, actually, and thrilled to be continuing my stories. Hope you enjoy :)

Shortly after her revelation, Michelle and Sasha rode back to the house. Over coffee, Michelle pressed for more details. "So tell me about them."
"Which one first?"
"The girl, whatever her name was."
"She is a twiggy little blonde named Bridget. She seems...I dunno, snotty is the word that comes to mind."
"Please tell me Shane isn't like that."
"Not at all Mom. He's incredibly handsome, with brown hair and eyes the color of melted chocolate. We really only talked for a few minutes, but I got the impression that he is a really sweet guy. And hes only a few years older than I am."
Michelle smiled. "Sounds good, honey. So what's your plan?"
"Mom, you're making it sound like a project."
"Well isn't it one?"
Sasha shook her head. "Not really. If it's meant to happen, it will." She got up and put her mug in the sink. "I'm going to find Dad, I'll be back soon."
Michelle sighed as she watched Sasha walk next door. "If you only knew what you were really up against."

"Good morning Emma," Sasha greeted Shane's secretary the next morning.
"Good morning to you Miss Meier. May I show you to your office?"
"Please, but call me Sasha."
"Of course. Right this way Sasha." Emma led her to the office right next to Shane's. There was an opened connecting door, and both women could see that Shane was busily working, so Sasha just waved. "Shane insisted that on giving you this office so that the two of you could work together. You go on ahead and get settled in, and if you need anything, you let me know."
"Thank you, Emma." She went back out to her desk, leaving Sasha to revel at her new office. Besides the wonderful view-thanks to the floor to ceiling windows- it had plenty of bookshelves, a work table, what appeared to be a closet in the corner, and a desk equipped with a laptop, phone, and intercom. "This could not get any better!" Sasha exclaimed quietly to herself as she sat down behind the desk. She booted up her laptop and was surprised to see that her background was a welcome message from Shane.
"I thought that was nicer than the standard blue Windows," Shane said from his place in the open doorway.
"It's sweet, thank you. You can come in and sit down, ya know." He laughed and sat down in the chair opposite of her.
"Do you like the office?"
"I love it!"
Shane smiled. "I'm glad. Are you ready to go over some things?"
"Sure."
"I can go over everything with you except for the press conditioning, which they're going to try to fit in this afternoon."
Sasha nodded. "That's pretty much what Emma told me yesterday."
"Speaking of Emma, she is your secretary too. If you need something, go to her. If she can't help you, come to me."
"I'm usually pretty self-reliant Shane, but I'll keep that in mind," Sasha replied in a teasing tone.
"Yeah, that did sound a bit caveman-ish, huh? You got the point though, right?" She nodded. "Good. As far as traveling goes, you are required to be at all tapings- Mondays, Tuesdays, and the occassional Sunday. Plane tickets are provided, as well as a travel allowance, but anything after that is up to you."
"Should I be taking notes?"
Shane laughed at the obvious sarcasm. "No, you'll get an info packet sometime today, I'm just giving you the abridged version. As far as your duties are concerned, there are quite a few. You will be needed to supervise all superstar vignettes, and occassionally assist in the basic production and creation of them. Every publication will land on your desk. After you review and make any changes, forward it to me. You will also need to be on location for most photo shoots and all overseas tours, as you wil end up being the highest ranking supervisor on most of them."
"Are you sure this isn't your job description?"
"I'm sure. Because of my on-screen character, I'm limited on the amount of time I have to spend on behind the scenes stuff, which is why you're getting stuck with more."
sasha was surprised, but pleased with his honesty. "It's definitely more than at ESPN, but I'm confidant that I can handle it."
"You'll be ready for tonight then?"
Sasha gave him a confused look. "Tonight?"
"Didn't anyone tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"The Smackdown crew is leaving for Europe tonight."
"What?" Sasha was more upset that she didn't know about it herself, rather than the fact that noone told her.
"I'm sorry Sasha, I just assumed Kevin told you about it yesterday. If you can't be ready..." he trailed off.
"Oh, no, of course I can, I was just surprised. Is there any way that I could finish all this intro stuff later then? I've got to pack, and make sure I can find my passport."
"Of course. Take the rest of the day off, and I'll see you at the airport. Actually, I could pick you up if you'd like?"
Sasha started to shake her head, but instead quickly nodded. "That would be great." She gave him directions and was at home packing an hour later. "I just don't understand Jayce. How could I not know about this? I have dreamt about every single bigger than normal event in my life." She tossed him a sweater and continued digging through her closet. "Maybe it's stress..."
"I don't know Sash. It could just be a fluke."
She gave him a doubtful look. "The second in as many days? I doubt it. Something is going on here Jayce, and I don't like it one bit."

Hmmm...what does Michelle know that Sasha doesn't? What will happen in Europe? Will Sasha's mind block clear? Dum dum dum! LOL! Hope you liked :)
