Author's notes: Originally Chapter 2 was me addressing the reviews I'd received, but, as pointed out by Disco Inferno1, I'd get in trouble for an author's notes chapter. (Thanks for that, by the way.) So seeing as most people have read it anyway, I've removed it. Never the less, the constructive points have been taken into account and I hope improvements have been made. I'd like to thank Disco Inferno1, coors1977, lil-fairy-princess, Mortica Adams and Polythenegirl21 for all your positive comments and I hope as this story progresses you'll continue to enjoy it. Anyway, I think I've said all I need to, so enjoy...
Chapter Two: Strange happenings.
Wanda now had two days to herself before work started again. Like most weekends, she had nothing eventful planned, just chilling out, but her cousin Emily had different ideas. Like most weekends, Wanda had gotten up around 9 and had breakfast whilst looking through the weekend newspapers. Around 11:30, a very tired and hung over Emily got up.
"Do you do anything but party these days, Em?"
"Who are you? Mom or something?" snapped Emily
"Listen, I'm not meaning to go all parental on you or anything, but you rarely go to class and you never go out unless it's to some bar. How about you come with me Monday night to this wrestling show?"
"Hummm, maybe, but I've got nothing to wear," complained Emily, hoping for some new clothes.
"Alright, your parents sent me some money over yesterday, so I guess a trip to the mall would be alright. Can you be ready to go in about an hour?"
Emily said she'd try and hurried off to shower and get ready. By 1 p.m., they were heading for the mall.
Since moving to New Orleans and starting at Tulane University, Emily had changed a lot from the once well-spoken ,slightly preppy English girl she'd been. Still speaking with a recognizable English accent, Emily appeared very different; her tweed skirts and baby pink sweaters had been replaced with tartan mini skirt, stripy socks and a pair of 'Cons' sneakers. Walking around the mall, Emily decided she wanted to have something done with her long blonde hair.
"I was thinking about going to the salon."
"What did you have in mind,Em?"
"I'm not totally sure, I just know I'm sick of this," she said pulling at her own hair.
"Well, you go to the salon and I'll carry on walking about. Meet here in about an hour say?"
Then they parted company. Wanda too decided she wanted something to wear on Monday, but was totally unsure what. She wanted to look good in case she ran into that guy who'd been speaking to Shane McMahon yesterday, but at the same time still wanted to look professional as she'd be meeting Vince McMahon. Then a knee length black leather skirt caught her eye, which had 2 slits that looked as though they went up to the thigh. She knew it would be totally inappropriate to wear on Monday, but since she thought it would go perfectly with her deep purple lace top, she decided to buy it anyway. Wanda also bought herself a new opal and onyx ring that matched her cross necklace and a hair band. Still having found nothing for 'Raw,' Wanda realized she had to find Emily in 5 minutes, so she headed back to the salon. When Emily came out of the salon, Wanda got the shock of her life. Emily's waist length hair was now layered and came to just above the shoulders and she'd had magenta streaks dyed into it.
"Oh my god, what do you look like ?"
"Well, I think it's cool."
Wanda had to agree, it was pretty funky. Emily had also bought a lot of punky jewelry, like star bracelets and those annoying rubber bangles. She claimed they were accessories to go with her new "Punky Fish" mini dress she'd bought. It was baby pink and black and barely covered her thighs, with a halter neck top. Not to Wanda's taste but nice enough. Wanda felt a little dejected she had nothing new for Monday but they returned home. For once, Emily decided to stay in on a Saturday, admitting she had fallen a little behind with her University work and decided to catch up on it. Typically of a Saturday evening, Wanda took her pet poodle 'Poochie' for a walk in the park.
Whilst walking around the park, Wanda had the feeling she was being watched. At least twice, she swore she'd heard rustling in the bushes, but, when she'd turned to see who was there, she found nothing. Wanda attributed it to tiredness and an over active imagination and returned home, still feeling a little shaken. When Wanda returned home, Emily was hard at work, so she decided to prepare part of the portfolio for Monday to show to Vince McMahon. Thinking of Monday brought a flutter to her stomach with the hope she'd run into that dark-haired hottie she saw with Shane McMahon yesterday. She could hardly concentrate on work, so decided to have a sort through her wardrobe. Everything, apart from the new stuff she'd bought today, was so formal. She wanted to look professional, but not too uptight at the same time,just in case she ran into the guy she'd met yesterday. At a total loss of ideas, she called Emily in for advice. Emily managed to pick out a hideous leopard print dress Wanda totally forgot she even owned.
"Em, I know I'm no where near as cool as you, but you've gotta be kidding me with this?"
Emily gave her a cheeky look as if to say ' You're cool, come off it..' So Wanda threw a pillow at her.
"You cow, for that I'm not going to take you to 'Raw' with me now."
"As if I wanted to come and watch a load of sweaty men rolling around in spandex pants any way."
"Your loss, some of them are quite hot," Wanda said with a raise of her eye brow, remembering 'Mr. Baby-soft-hands.'
"You never told me hot guys were involved. I'm in."
And with that Emily flounced back into her room. Alone once more, Wanda pored through her wardrobe again. Suddenly the phone rang. Not expecting any calls, Wanda answered a little apprehensively .
But when she picked up, it was dead. The same thing happened another five times that night and it unsettled Wanda so much she disconnected her phone.
Sunday was a typically boring end to the week. Wanda's parents called and spent most of the call checking to make sure Wanda was keeping an eye on Emily. Wanda did manage how ever to get every thing prepared for 'Raw' and even managed to pick out something to wear--a black cord suit with a fuchsia silk shirt. With an uneventful weekend and the prospect of 'Raw' tomorrow night, Wanda was looking forward to being back at work.
