A/N: Oh Booker T and his wife will pay nobody disrespects my fictional 'daddy' and gets away with it. Also I have nothing against paralyzed people so don't get it that was I have two friends who are in fact paralyzed all the mean things Candice says to Ashley are well because she is a bitch in this story.
Ashley was released from the hospital. She felt even more useless there because she couldn't do anything for herself, she needed someone with her 24/7 and she so wasn't used to that. She completely threw herself into her work whether it was working on scripts for Raw or looking over cases for the law firm she worked for part time. Tonight she was at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California. She had a meeting with the person from the phone call. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in" Ashley announced.
"Girl wheel your ass over here and give me a hug"
Ashley smiled as she turned and faced her old friend.
"Maddie it's been a while" Ashley said.
"So what is this job you want me to do?" Maddie asked.
"Well I want you to be GM" Ashley said.
"Are you frickin serious?" Maddie asked excitement building.
"Would I lie?" Ashley asked.
Maddie gave her a look, clearly they knew each other way too long.
"Ok, ok would I lie about this?" Ashley asked.
"No" Maddie replied.
"Ok here are the rules you get to piss Eric off as much as you want, that is a given, but you can't play favorites" Ashley told her "I'm serious about the favorites thing"
"YAY I get to piss Bitchoff off all the time!" Maddie exclaimed happily "what about Lita can I kick her teeth in?"
"Amy is a good friend of mine so I want you to be civil but I can start a feud between you two" Ashley said.
"Damn straight I want to kick that hoe's ass" Maddie said. "Nasty skank"
Ashley just laughed and shook her head. She had missed her old friend, they had met when Ashley was 17 and Maddie was 16. They were instant friends you'd swear they shared a brain it was scary sometimes.
"Ash, I wanted to ask you something?" Chris said walking into Ash's office. He saw Maddie and turned the other way.
"Fine Chris I see how it is" Maddie yelled.
Chris popped his head back into the room.
"Hi Maddie" he said before leaving again.
"Shoot, too bad he's on Smackdown" Maddie said.
"Hey leave my dad alone" Ashley replied.
"Hey I'm just saying" Maddie said in her own defense.
"Come on I'll show you around" Ashley said moving her wheelchair to the door. "You mind opening the door?"
"Ha, you're shorter that I am now" Maddie laughed.
"Shut up I'm short cuz I'm in a chair you're just short" Ashley said.
Maddie flipped her off and opened the door. Ashley began to introduce Maddie to different people. She saw John at the end of the hall.
"Hey Hotstuff why don't you come over here and meet your new boss" Ashley yelled.
John laughed at the little nickname and walked over to his wife. He bent down and kissed her lips.
"You taste sweet" Ashley said.
"I just ate a candy bar" John replied.
"Can we please keep the PDA's to a minimum" Maddie commented.
"Hey Maddie what's crackin?" John asked.
"Beside me bein your new boss nothing much" Maddie said.
"Oh this should be fun" John said sarcastically.
Ashley hit his arm but she laughed a little.
"Be nice" she warned him.
"I'm always nice" he replied. He kissed her again.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY ABOUT PDA'S" Maddie yelled.
"You wouldn't be sayin that if you had a man" John teased.
"That's it your fired give me the belt" Maddie said.
"Hey I got kids to support" John argued.
"Your wife has a job" Maddie pointed out.
"Yeah but his wife wouldn't want him home all the time to bug the shit out of her" Ashley commented.
"See how she treats me" John said "I have to go talk with Show and Glen, I'll see you later baby"
"Oh you know you will" Maddie replied.
"Not you fool" John said walking away.
"That is it we'll be scrappin later on you'll need to hold me back" Maddie said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever let's finish meeting people" Ashley said.
They were still meeting people when Ashley saw Dave Bautista.
"Now I know The Animal isn't going to come all up in here on MY show and not say hi because that would just hurt my feelings way too much" Ashley said loud enough for Dave to hear it.
Dave smiled as he made his way over to Ashley and Maddie.
"Hey Ash" he said "how are you feeling?"
"I have my good day and bad days" she replied.
"You'll walk again I know it" Dave said.
"Thanks, it means a lot to me that you have confidence in me" Ashley said.
"Ahem" Maddie made a very loud sound with her throat.
"Oh Dave this is Madeline, one of my very best friends we go way back" Ashley said.
"It's nice to meet you Dave" Maddie said.
Dave walked away which was a stupid thing to do because you never leave Ashley Maddie alone because you never know what could happen.
"I wanna see my Boo Boo" Maddie said jumping up and down.
"Your Boo Boo is married to someone I consider to be my sister" Ashley said. "Madeline Elizabeth Harris don't do anything stupid"
"I won't Riley Ashley Michelle Harris" Maddie countered.
"Sayin my government doesn't make it any better" Ashley retorted.
"You and John are made for each other you both have two middle names" Maddie said.
"Yeah our parents planned it that way" Ashley said.
"Really?" Maddie asked.
"No" Ashley said giving Madeline a look.
"Girl don't make me slap you pale" Maddie said.
"I can't get much paler" Ashley said.
"PAULY" Ashley yelled.
Paul (aka. Triple H) looked in the direction his name was being called. He rolled his eyes as he walked over to Ashley.
"Hey Sweetie how have you been?" he asked.
"I'd be fine if people stopped treating me like a 2 year old" she replied.
"Sorry it's just…" Paul trailed off.
"Nah it ain't you it's everyone it's like they see the chair and they feel they have to do things for me or ask me how I am every 5 seconds" Ashley explained. "I start seeing a physical therapist next week and hopefully I'll be able to walk again because I ain't staying in this chair"
"Because you are way too stubborn" Paul said.
"There ain't nothing wrong with that" Ashley said.
"If it helps you walk again I'm all for it" Paul said.
"Oh Paul and am such a bad person this is Madeline Harris, your new boss" Ashley said.
"It's nice to meet you Madeline and welcome to Perdition" Paul said.
"What the hell does that mean?" Maddie asked Ashley.
"It's a smart way of saying welcome to hell" Ashley replied.
Ashley introduced Madeline to all the diva including Trish and Amy. There was a little resistance on Maddie's part but she warmed up to them after a while.
"Ames I'm startin a feud between you and Maddie" Ashley announced.
Torrie and Candice walked into the woman's locker room.
"Sup Tor" Ashley said.
"Hey Ashley" Torrie said "how are you?"
Ashley gritted her teeth in annoyance but then she forced a smile and said "I'm good"
"Hey Ashley I'm sorry about you being in a wheelchair" Candice said.
Ashley could tell there was no sympathy in Candice's words, not that she wanted any from that whore anyways.
"Yeah sure thanks" Ashley said not really caring.
"But now that you are paralyzed I guess that means… well you can't perform your wifely duties and you know me and John were a couple for a while" Candice said.
Ashley gripped the arms of her chair so hard her knuckles turned white.
"Oh hell no I know you didn't just say that about my home girl" Maddie was the first one to her feet. "Because if you did you'll be eating my fist for breakfast, lunch and dinner"
"Maddie she ain't worth it" Ashley said.
"Yeah you heard the cripple" Candice said.
"Why do you have to pick on the paralyzed woman isn't there someone else, why don't you find an autistic child and make fun of them" Ashley said "no but you wouldn't do that"
"You know what your problem is Candice it kills you that even thought I'm paralyzed, I'm the one who wakes up next to John each morning" Ashley said "whatever you had it was never about love and John told me that when he was with you he was thinking about me and as far as my performing my wifely duties just because I'm paralyzed don't mean I'm dead"
All the divas started chuckling, Candice was so dumbfounded that all she could do was stare at Ashley with her mouth open. She got so flustered that she had to leave the room.
"Ash that was amazing" Trish said.
"I taught her everything she knows" Maddie said.
"No you didn't" Ashley said.
"Well does it really matter because you just trashed that hoes ass and she had no idea what hit her" Maddie said "shoot I'd have slapped her pale and you know I would have"
"Slapped her pale?" Amy asked.
"Don't ask" Ashley said.
The rest of the day was spent laughing and hanging out. Ashley was glad that Maddie fit in so well it was nice to see that an old friend could fit in so well with her family.
