Maria walked into the canteen and smiled as she walked over to sit with her friend Candice. She slid into the seat and Candice looked up giving a faint smile. Maria frowned slightly.

"Hey Candy, are you ok?" she asked

"Yeah i'm fine" Candice sighed

Maria grinned "liar!"

Candice smiled and stirred her coffee some more.

"Wanna talk about it?" she asked

Candice just shrugged "That's ok Ria, you probably wouldn't get it anyway"

"Try me" she told her.

"Working here has been an amazing experience and it's been so much fun" Candice started.

"and you talking in the past tense so what's changed?" she asked finishing what she had been going to say.

"I'm not taken seriously here i'm just the girl who parades around in short skirts and bikini's i know other diva's do it but they're still respected round here, my only real friends here are you Stacy Christy and Chris every other girl ignores me and all the other guys think it's ok to grab my ass and try and stare down my top, It's not exactly how i thought it would be" Candice told her quietly.

Maria couldn't help but smile, Candice frowned at her.

"What's funny?" Candice asked

"Oh nothing" she replied playing with her plain gold wedding ring.

"Ria you were just smiling because i said i hate it here...there must be a reason" Candice prompted her.

"Oh it's just that i was sat in here having that exact same onversation with Chris this time last year and i said everything that you just told me" She replied

"Really?" Candice asked and Maria nodded "I thought i was the only one feeling like this"

"Nope i was the same" she told her and Candice smiled slightly.

"So how did you feel?" Candice asked

Maria played with her hair as she thought back to a year ago.

"Well i had just broken up with Maven after he turned out to be such a jerk and i felt like no one respected me at all, i was playing a complete air head on the show and wasn't even given the oppertunity to train like Christy had been. Everyone treated me like i was stupid and i hated it. I hated this company and i was ready to leave. All i remember is constantly asking myself will it..."she started to reply

"Get better" finished Candice with a smile

"Exactly!" she exclaimed

"Do you think it will?" asked Candice

"Of course it will" she reassured her

Candice sighed and slumped back into her seat.

"Yeah but Ria you went through so much, just about everything that could go wrong went wrong for you, how can you be so posative now?" Candice asked

"Because Candy think of all the good stuff that happend after that, me and Randy can talk like friends now, the firstfew months was hell with him ignoring me. I finally trained to do real wrestling, my characters still an airhead but at least i've had great storylines and i got to marry my best friends" she replied with a smile.

"You're so lucky!" Candice exclaimed admiring her ring.

"So you want to know will it get better, of course it will " Maria told her with a smile.

"Thanks Ria" Candice said getting up and hugging her friend.

/the end...really this time/
