Never Say Never
Chapter 11
Two weeks after her try out match Lorelei was signing her name on a WWE contract. Hopefully there would be more contracts to come, but she was happy that she was there.
She'd signed it after making sure she'd read all the fine print. She'd attempted to put in a clause saying that she wouldn't compete in bra and panties and mud wrestling matches of any type. Needless to say that for this contract it wasn't added. Maybe next time if there was a next time.
"If they know what's good for ratings they'll let you compete. They'll realize you're so much more than T&A like they do Lisa Marie or Nora," Paul reassured her.
"Look how long someone like Trish was T&A despite her talent. Look what happened to Jacqueline because she could actually compete. She's rarely used," Lorelei pointed out. "They brought Rena back despite her lack of talent."
"Good luck," Shawn said coming up behind Lorelei, scaring her to death.
"Michael Shawn Hickenbottem, I swear if you do that again I will start calling you Mikey in front of everyone," Lorelei threatened. She hated it when he did that.
"Lorelei Olivia, if you do I'll call you Lori until the end of time," Shawn teased.
"You call me that now. No matter what I do you'll probably never stop," Lorelei said. "I however am going to the Evolution locker room to see if there's some champagne or something. I need to celebrate."
Paul and Shawn watched down the hallway in the opposite direction of the Evolution locker room.
"Honey, you're going the wrong way," Paul pointed out.
Lorelei did a double take. He never even called her a nickname let alone a pet name. "I know I just need to get my girls. I need someone to celebrate with," she told him.
"I thought I was the only one who you needed to celebrate with," Paul almost whined.
"I'll celebrate with you later," Lorelei told him.
"Okay I'm leaving now. That was a little to much information," Shawn said going to find his locker room.
Lorelei continued down the hallway when she literally ran into Stephanie McMahon. She mentally cursed herself for not watching where she was going.
"Why don't you watch were you're going, or are you to stupid to walk and look at the same time," Stephanie screeched. She had fire in her eyes.
"Stephanie, I don't want to argue or fight with you, I just was to excited to watch were I was going. I'm sorry I ran into you," Lorelei said. She didn't want to put up with the other woman at the moment.
"Well you did run into me, but I'll deal with you later, by the way watch what goes on tonight. I'm sure you'll find it quite interesting," Stephanie said with a smirk.
"It doesn't matter what you do. You won't be able to bring me down. I won't give you that satisfaction," Lorelei said walking past the youngest McMahon.
Paul went to the Evolution locker room and about ten minutes later Lorelei returned with Amy and Trish. Paul could only imagine the havoc they would be able to reek in the room. Woman aside from Lorelei and occasionally Angie had never invaded the strictly male locker room.
He sighed when Lorelei had found a rather large bottle of champagne. This was definitely somethign taht he would have to see to believe.
"And you said that he doesn't drink," Dave teased.
"Before this she hasn't had more than an occasional glass of wine at a restaurant with dinner," Paul said.
"I thought she was only twenty. Isn't this condoning something illegal?" Randy asked.
"Her birthday's next month," Paul said as if it made everything okay. "Besides, we can't make Trish and Amy stop so why make her? She just won't be driving tonight."
"He actually cares," Randy teased. "Our baby's growing up."
Paul smacked his friend upside the head before turning his attention back to the girls. They didn't seem to notice that they were hanging out of all places in the Evolution locker room.
Stephanie had called a meeting of the minds, which honestly was only her. Jackie was a complete ditz, and Stacy was just naive. She almost felt sorry for dragging the two blondes into this but remorse wasn't an emotion that McMahon's valued.
She was going to be announced as Bischoff's right hand woman and that freak Johnny Nitro was going to be fired. It was going to be pretty cool.
Stacy was on her way to become a legitimate female competitor and Jackie was just plain vindictive and Lorelei had hurt her pride many times. It was nice to see someone possess the quality almost as well as a McMahon.
Stephanie had to convince Eric and the writing staff that despite her last name, Lorelei wasn't the female for Evolution. The audience already had one read-head to watch from week to week. That was going to be hard because her father liked the woman, probably because of her curves.
She didn't come up with anything this meeting as she was mentally preparing herself for the upcoming evening. She would only imagine the look on Lorelei's face when she found out who was Bischoff's new personal assistant. This was going to be to sweet.
Paul had barely saved himself and the others from being kicked out of their own locker room. The ironic thing was the they would easily force them to comply if not working off a couple to many glasses of the wonderful champagne they had come into possession of.
"Are you sure you want her to be part of Evolution? She doesn't hold alcohol very well," Randy teased.
"But there are so many other things she can do that you will never experience," Paul said.
"Okay, we don't need to hear about your love life," Ric said walking into the room. "Might I ask why there are three beautiful women on our couch?"
"Lorelei signed her contract today. She wanted to celebrate. She found champagne and invited Amy and Trish to celebrate with her and they had no where else to go," Paul explained. "I wasn't about to let her drink anywhere else."
"Don't let her drink to much. Rumor has it Bischoff has a new assistant, and you know how he gets when he wants to impress someone," Ric told him. "I don't know if he knows there's a new addition to the Raw roster."
"Great," Paul said thinking of a way to get the women away from the mostly empty bottle of champagne.
It was a task that sounded easier than it actually was. It took a few attempts, but he eventually succeeded. Ric was right about Bischoff when he wanted someone to impress him, especially someone he wanted to respect him.
Things in the Evolution locker room had calmed down before the taping of heat began. Trish and Amy were staying there at the request of Lorelei, except for the spot that Amy had to tape with Kane. It was amazed the angle was going as long as it was considering the writers seemed to think that the audience had the memory of a goldfish.
Lorelei remembered what Stephanie had said earlier and was watching the television intensely. She watched and when there was only about twenty minutes of the show remaining she began to think that Stephanie had been again messing with her, when Bischoff's ever annoying music began.
"Well, well, well. It seems as I have an announcement to make," Eric said, "but first I would like to announce my new assistant Stephanie McMahon."
Stephanie's music hit and she strutted out to the ring. The people weren't sure whether or not to like her yet.
"We also have a new addition to the Raw roster and I would like to see if she's up to snuff with our woman's champion Gail Kim. Next week she'll have a match with Gail Kim for the woman's title, no holds barred," Eric announced . The crowd had mixed reactions. They wanted to see the match, but they didn't want to cheer for anything that Bischoff had done.
Lorelei was stunned. She hadn't expected that she would be thrown into a match so soon. The scariest part was that it would be no holds barred. She had only been under contract for a few hours and was sure she was already in over her head.
"Lorelei you'll be okay," Ric told her. "You learned from the game and the dirtiest player in the game."
"That's easy for you to say. Sure it's mostly scripted but I haven't worked with Gail, and I'm..." Lorelei said. "You'll do fine. Practice a little with her and you'll know what to expect. Gail's a professional, so are you," Paul reassured. "If it bothers you that much then she can come home with us tomorrow for a few days so she can work with you."
"Thank you," Lorelei said. She left the room to find the woman.
She again ran into Stephanie. "Now that I'm in a position of power you better try to get on my good side if that's at all possible," Stephanie warned.
"Only you would abuse the power. I almost had some respect for you when you were the Smackdown GM. You had integrity then," Lorelei said. "Besides you still have to go through Bischoff to do anything."
"But Bischoff trusts me. If you don't win next week then I can guarantee that you will end up just another piece of T&A like Jackie. That will humiliate you more than anything. Then Paul will realize what's good for him," Stephanie said.
"Then what? He comes back to someone he doesn't love or trust. Stephanie blondes are supposed to be stupid. He doesn't want anything to do with you and I'm not the reason. I have people to go and things to see, so please excuse me," Lorelei said.
Stephanie decided now wasn't the time, and that she would get her when the time was right. It would only be a matter of time.
Review please
