The night started out on a slow pace—it almost seemed like it was the perfect night to go to a club after all. Julia couldn't wait to see her best friend Lexa; she hadn't seen her in a while and since she was it town, they had to hit a club tonight. She knew John and Randy were going to like her, she was just as crazy as they were and loved to have fun….Now if only they could get to that fun. Julia was sitting backstage in John's locker room watching the television. She had already interviewed Kurt after his invitational—John was right, Eric had intended for Kurt to bother her and start trouble. But, once again Eric's plans went in her favor. She had the last laugh as Kurt lost to Eugene and he was to busy having a bitch fit to even have a real interview. Which Julia didn't mind as she only laughed and ended the interview early. Looking at the television she smiled as the Battle of the Bands was announced. She had no doubt that John was going to win, she had wondered what Eric was going to try this time. Julia may not have been a wrestler, but she was ten steps ahead of Eric. She knew he hated John because he wasn't an ass kisser. And would do anything to take away his title and end his career. She knew John loved being champion, but she sometimes wondered what price he would have to pay to stay so? Having an asswhole like Eric as a general manager could only make your life a living hell.

Suddenly Julia was taken out of her thoughts as the door swung open and John walked in with a mischievous smile on his face.

" What are you smiling about?" she asked

" You'll see." he replied placing his title on the table and sitting down next to her on the couch. Julia was about to question him, but he just pointed to the television and as she turned her head she snickered as John was backstage mocking Eric in his office. Laughing she watched as Eric tried to scold John and make him seem like he was the boss. As Eric turned his back and continued to talk, she wondered why John was even listening to his crap. Just as Eric turned around, the camera followed his eyes and revealed that John was nowhere in sight. Julia laugh and looked at John as RAW went to commercial.

" You are an evil bastard." she commented, " And that's exactly why we're friends."

" You expected me to listen to that?" John asked sarcastically

" I wouldn't even want a dog to listen to that bull." Julia replied, " Ready for battle of the bands?"

" Of course." he stated, " So you coming outside with me?"

" What? Are you crazy? Me out there? No way!" she questioned as John laughed at her

" Why, you scared?" John asked challenging her

" Me? Scared….maybe you don't understand, I fear nothing—no man, woman, or in your case concert." Julia replied

" Then come out with me." he said

" John on, why would Julia Martin come on stage with John Cena?" she asked

" Because the real Julia Martin and John Cena are best friends." John replied

" Yeah, backstage," Julia added, " Not tonight John. I want you to enjoy the show. Tonight that stage is yours. Not even Eric can take that away from you."

" Okay," he sighed, " But the next time this happens, I'm dragging your cute little ass out there. You should have fun."

" I am having fun." she commented

" Not as much as those jeans are." John flirted as she rolled her eyes at him, " But, being a reporter can be great, so why not have as much fun as you can with it. Being a reporter doesn't mean you have to stay back here all the time."

" I know….hey, it's all most that time." Julia said as John stood up. She watched as he looked at her with pleading eyes, but she only shook her head. He grunted then leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. She smiled and wished him luck.

Julia and Christy were backstage watching the Battle of the Bands—the lights went out and the crowd went crazy as John and the rest of the Chain Gang started to perform. The whole event was going great, Julia and Christy were dancing to " Bad, Bad man" and applauded as John's half was over. Suddenly when Chris Jericho came out, they were surprised when his band members were no where to be found. He declared that he wasn't going to perform and started complaining about the crowd's reaction to him. After his bitch fit ended, he stated that he would perform at Summerslam. John's only reply to that was pumping the crowd up and soon " Time is Now" started over the speakers. John was the winner without a doubt—with or without Jericho's performance. When RAW went to another commercial, Julia and Christy started to laugh,

" Looks like someone punked out." Christy commented

" Figures that Jericho would bitch up and pull his band out. Will I for one am grateful, I really didn't want to hear Fozzy tonight." Julia replied as Christy snickered

" You got some nice moves there girl." Christy commented

" I try." Julia laughed as there was a knock at the door, wondering who would be knocking during the RAW tapping, Julia stood up and walked over to the door, " Who is it?"

" You order chicken fried rice?" the person on the other side replied as Christy had a questionable question on her face. Julia smiled and opened the door to reveal a young Chinese woman. She looked around her early twenties, had cropped black hair with strawberry blonde high lights, gray eyes, and was wearing a pair of black Kik girl zipper pants, a pink mesh shirt over a black tank top, and pink Kaya pleasure heels. Christy watched as the two girls hugged and greeted each other warmly.

" The diva had arrived!"

" Lexa! What are you doing here so early?" Julia asked

" Well, waiting until after RAW was not in my schedule. I took two days off to do three things—shop," she paused modeling her outfit, " Flirt, and party. Not necessarily in that order."

" Still crazy, but hey this is Christy Hemme RAW's first diva contest winner." Julia introduced

" Oh I'm loving those shoes." Lexa commented as she shook Christy's hand

" Thank you. You hair is wicked." Christy replied

" Girl I try," Lexa said, " Where did you get this dress—they wouldn't happen to have it in black?" Julia sighed as she watched the two ramble on about clothes and shoes. She knew they would make quick friends. Lexa was known for her passion for fashion. She was a diva in every sense of the word and also one of the biggest flirts. She hopped the men on RAW were ready for her and her charm.

" So….Lady Martin, what's this I hear about you and the Doctor?" Lexa asked breaking through Julia's thoughts.

" What?" she asked in return

" Don't what me….I know all about your white chocolate." Lexa replied

" We are friends!" Julia stated

" Friends? Who the hell would want to be friends with a man like that? But, there is a thing called lovers and friends. You wouldn't happen to have that kind of relationship with John would you?" Lexa asked as Christy laughed

" No!" Julia replied, " Lexa stay out of my social life you sex driven freak!"

" Oh you know I love it when you talk dirty Jay." Lexa said, " You know she's been like this from since High School. She is so big headed that the only thing bigger than her head is her ass. She thinks no man is good enough for her."

" That is so not true and you know it. I just don't want a relationship right now." Julia replied

" I know, I just love to ruffle your feathers," Lexa stated as she turned back to Christy, " She actually was one of the shiest and most quiet people I ever met. That is until she met me. I mean even when we first met—which is a funny story because like when I knocked on the door and said " You order chicken fried rice", was because when we met I was working for my grandfather's restaurant and Julia called one night to order that. When she called she was like can I please have an order of chicken fried rice, in the cutest voice. At first I couldn't hear her but on the second try I got it. So I wanted to see this mouse in person, I delivered the meal and when she opened the door we realized that we already knew each other from school, yet never spoke. From that night we started talking more and I helped turn her into the loud mouth reporter we all know and love today." Christy laughed and Lexa started to join her as she ended her story of the first time the two friends met. The only person who wasn't laughing was Julia.

" Are you done?" she asked sarcastically

" Oh come on sour puss, you know I love telling people about us. Besides it's a great story." Lexa replied

" Yeah great story, about as great the hundred times I've heard you tell it to people." Julia said smartly as Lexa snickered

" Oh hush! Now where is the man of the evening? I want to lecture him about being a good boyfriend." Lexa replied

" He is not my boyfriend." Julia almost yelled

" Have you kissed him? Went out on dates with other people since you met? Dream about him? Worry about him? Miss him? Hell do you think he is adorable in his little CK boxers?" Lexa asked

" Kiss my ass!" Julia replied as she turned to the television, just as she did Eric Bischoff was shown talking to Carlito. Becoming interested in the conversation, she gasped as she heard that Carlito would be fighting John in a non-title match tonight. That didn't bother her, she knew John could beat Carlito in a matter of seconds. But, what bothered her was what she heard next. Chris Jericho would be the special guest referee for the match and if Carlito won, he would get a title shot next week. " What that hell! Is Eric trying to win the biggest asswhole award or something? That's not fair!"

" He's trying to make John loose his title!" Christy commented, Julia narrowed her eyes at the television and tried to think of a way to help John again. But, it was a lost case as before she knew it the match had started. As she had hoped the match was going good so far and John was beating Carlito. But, just as he went for the FU, Jericho kicked him and caused him to drop Carlito. Jericho continued to attack him then performed the Lionsault on him. He quickly pulled Carlito's arm over John and speedily counted to three. The bell rang and Carlito was announced as the winner. Julia winched as John slowly came to and realized what happened. She sighed and headed out the door in hopes that he wouldn't be too angry.

" I'll be back," she sighed as Lexa and Christy watched the few seconds left of the show

" See that's why I don't wrestle." Lexa started, " Cause my stilettos would have been off and up somebody's ass before the night was done." Christy chuckled

Julia made her way to the entrance of the Gorilla, just as she reached it Jericho, Carlito, and Bischoff were coming towards her. Bischoff was the only one who stopped to talk to her,

" You should really choose your friends wisely and be more concerned with your job than with what is right or wrong Ms. Martin." Julia stared dangerously at him and wanted to nothing more then to slap that smirk off his face, but instead she only narrowed her at him. As they walked off John soon came from behind the curtain. She almost jumped back from the rage fuming off of him. She had never seen him like that, usually he was calm and sarcastic, but now he was a mad man ready to go off at any moment..

" John….please." she started as he stood in front of her

" Where did they go?" he asked seriously

" John their not worth it! Come on, your better than this. Jericho and Bischoff are asswholes and aren't even on your level. You're the Champion and there is nothing that they can do about that right now!" Julia replied

" I got fucked!" John stated not even blinking, Julia was about to say something, but suddenly Lexa walked over to them and rested her hand on his shoulder. John looked at her then at Julia.

" Johnny relax! Your champion, the WWE can kiss your ass. Now lets get the fuck out of here and party. I have my dancing gear in the car and want to shake my ass. So if you please…." Lexa commented as Julia nodded. John slowly sighed and bottled all his anger for another time. Julia smiled and playfully slapped his arm.

" You get angry to fast you asswipe! Now lets party!" Julia stated as they all headed back to John's locker room then back to the hotel to retrieve Randy and get ready for the club.
