AN: OK, so I updated...finally....after FOREVER!!! I had a really tough semester with college, though I guess that isn't much of an excuse. Hopefully updates can come much faster since my Summer session isn't that bad. Hope you enjoy :) Oh, and since I can't get my italics to work, whenever this appears dream it's a dream sequence.
(Monday morning, Titan Towers)
"Coffee," Sasha's pathetic sounding voice mumbled to anyone who would listen. Emma, her secretary, smiled sympathetically.
"I cannot believe you are here this early dear. It's only 8:00. Didn't you at least go home first?"
Sasha nodded. "Just long enough to change. I know how things work around here, Em, and there was no way I was going to be late on a show day."
"That's probably a good thing," Emma agreed. "What time does your flight leave?"
"Shane said to meet him downstairs at ten, so I would guess whenever we get to the airport. The perks of a private plane-"
"Are wonderful," Shane interrupted from behind them. Sasha turned to find him holding two cups of coffee, one extended towards her. She took it gratefully, lifting the lid and inhaling the scent.
"You rock my world, you know that right?"
"All in a day's work. Emma fill you in yet?"
"I was getting there, but you and your Starbucks interrupted," she answered for Sasha, with mock indignation. "You've both already gotten a handful of phone calls, so you should be getting in your offices."
Sasha shot her a smile and took the stack of messages from her box. "Thanks Emma, I'll stop before we leave." Emma just nodded as the phone rang again, and the other two went on into Sasha's office. Sasha waited until Shane was setlled in across from her before asking, "So did Emma tell me about what?"
"Well, I was wondering- and feel free to say no of course, if you would like to help out on the advertising campaign for this year's Summerslam?"
Sasha was surprised, but excited at the prospect. "That sounds like fun, but can I ask why? First of all it's only May, and second, don't we have an entire advertising department that takes care of things like that?"
"We start now because we need to have everything ready by the time July comes around and we start promos. The reason I'm asking you is because I was originially put in charge, but since I'm going to be in the show, I'm not going to have as much time for it as I thought I would. Plus you're really creative, and I'd love to see what you can come up with."
Sasha's eyes narrowed at the last part. "You do know how incredibly brown your nose is now, right? So basically, the person who was originally going to do it backed out, and you don't really want to do it, so I am. Right?"
Shane shook his head. "No, I really want to, but I'm not going to be able to. The way my story line is running I'm going to be majorly invoved in the show by then, and I really won't have time. You were right about the rest though," he added sheepishly, hoping that wouldn't dissuade her.
"Of course I'll help Shane. But why do I get the feeling that there's more to this than what you're telling me?"
"Probably because there is, but there are some great perks involved too."
She smirked. "I'm still numb from lack of sleep, you might as well throw it at me now."
"How would you like to be my travel buddy?"
Sasha just gave him a bored look. "Shane, I already am your travel buddy."
Shane rolled his eyes. "We've traveled once, Sash. And what I mean is, on a regular basis. I'm going to be putting alot of my duties on hold through at least the end of the year, as I will be focusing more on actual wrestling. What I need, is for you to take over my job in a way. What would happen is that you would be at every show I'm at, and in addition to your job, would be my contact between wherever we are and the office."
Sasha leaned back in her chair, trying to take it all in. "That's alot Shane. What does your dad think of it?"
"It was actually his idea. He's very impressed with you already. What this would mean for you is a raise, hotels and rental cars on the company, and the wonderful, fabulous, absolutely amazing perk of traveling with me. What do ya say?"
She thought about it for a minute before nodding. "When you put it that way, how could a girl resist?"
(Later that afternoon, en route to Boston, MA)
dream
"Sam, we can make this work. If we don't your family will kill me." A young man said to the younger girl standing in front of him, apparently named Sam.
"Kill you?" she replied. "Try both of us! This is insane, we can just get an annullment. And put some damn clothes on!" she yelled the last part, waving her hand and indicating his near nakedness.
"I don't think an annullment is going to be possible." Sam looked at him dumbfounded, until he pointed next to the bed. It was littered with empty condom packets and a few beer bottles.
"Damn it John!!! This cannot happen, do you hear me?"
"Sure thing Ms. McMahon," he said sarcastically. "Or now should I say Cena?"
end dream
"Sasha, wake up, we're here," Shane's voice woke Sasha from her dream. She looked at Shane through sleepy eyes, trying to process what she just saw.
"You have another sister, don't you?"
He nodded, dumbfounded as to where this was coming from. "Yes, I do. Her name is Sam, and she is just starting to travel with the Smackdown brand today. You should get to meet her tomorrow night in New York. That was kind of a random question though."
"Yeah sorry, I...was going to ask earlier, and I forgot. Is she by any chance dating John Cena?"
Shane burst out laughing. "Sam and John? No, not a chance. They're friends, but nothing more. He's dating Dawn Marie, and she just broke up with Brock Lesnar when he left the company a few weeks ago. Why would you think they were dating?"
"No reason really. One question though."
"Shoot."
"When is Smackdown in Vegas?"
AN: OK, that was short, but it's my first chapter back, so cut me some slack, LOL. I wanted to shift away from Shane and Sasha a bit, because there are BIG things in store for them, and this little "side chapter" would allow me to introduce characters for my next story, which whenever I start to write it will kind of coexist with some parts of this one :) Don't forget to review!
