Chapter 23

We had just arrived at the arena. Today was the day... I was becoming a part of Evolution on screen. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled, but at the same time I'm scared shitless. What if the fans don't like me? Hell... what was I asking that for? I'll be a part of Evolution, of course they're not gonna like me.

I read the script over and over trying to memorize it so I wouldn't mess up that night in front of all the fans. Paul sat next to me, "You'll be fine Rea, perfectly fine. We have lots of faith in you babe." I sighed, "Thanks Paulie. I needed to hear that. I'm so excited but the butterflies are going wild in my stomach." Paul smiled, "I know exactly what you mean. But there's no reason to be nervous. We've went over the script endlessly. You won't be able to forget you lines, t just won't happen. And even if it were to happen, which it won't, but if it were... we'd all cover for you. We've got your back Rea."

I smiled and gave Paul a hug, "I'm glad you've got my back. With Evolution on my side I know I'll survive." Paul smiled, "Yep. And even if something goes wrong and someone tries to make an example out of you Dave'll kill them." I giggled, "He would, wouldn't he?" "You're damn right he would."

Raw had just started, and the Evolution music hit. "Damnit what the hell are they doing out here?" "I don't know JR, but I sure can't wait to find out. Maybe they're gonna talk about that beauty that was in their locker room last week." And with that said they showed a clip of my singing and everything else that happened that night.

Paul finally got to the ring with Dave, Ric and Randy in toe. Paul grabbed a mic out of Lillian Garcia's hand, "Last week Evolution was disrespected. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE disrespects Evolution and gets away with it." Randy grabbed a different mic, "We had a nice little surprise planned out, woulda shocked the shit out of everyone. But Coach ruined that." Paul cleared his throat, "Without further adieu, I'm happy to present the newest member of Evolution. ANDREA!"

And the Evolution music plays again as I make my way down to the ring looking pissed as hell. Dave climbs out of the ring and helps me into the ring. I give Dave a cute little smirk. Then I grab Randy's mic out of his grasp. "COACH! Get your stupid ass out here!"

Nothing happens. "Oh what Coach... ya scared? You think a poor little defenseless woman is gonna hurt the Coach?" I batted my eye lashes. "Get out here you little chicken shit!" The Coach's music hit and he came down to the ring reluctantly. I stared Coach in the face, "What gave you the right to storm into the Evolution locker room like that last week?"

Coach started to talk, But I interrupted him, "Nothing! You had absolutely NO reason to be anywhere near Evolution's locker room last week." "Man King... I don't like Coach, but she's being a little harsh don't ya think?" King just stared at Andrea, "King??" "Man, look at her puppies. What?" JR just shook his head, "Nothing King, nothing at all."

"And for all the shit you put me thru I'll have to think of a way to get retribution." I lowered the mic and thought about it, looked over at the guys of Evolution and got an evil grin on my face. I walked over to Dave, and started talking in hushed voices to him. Dave got an evil look in his eye and he focused everything on Coach.

"I would NOT want to be the Coach right now." King laughed, "I'd NEVER want to be Coach. But I agree, this doesn't look good for the Coach." I walked back and stood directly in front of the Coach, "Tonight, in this very ring, you have a match, Coach. Would you like to know who your opponent is?" Coach gulped and nodded, "Tonight it's The Coach versus Batista!" "WHAT!? King! That animal will kill Coach." "I agree JR, Coach is dead meat."

And Evolution left the ring, Paul leading followed by Ric and Randy and lastly Dave and Andrea, Andrea with her arm moving up and down Dave's massive back.

"Well... if you're just tuning in to RAW here on Spike TV you're in for a treat tonight. A match between The Coach and Batista was just scheduled for later tonight." And with that said RAW went to commercial.

As soon as we all got backstage I waited for Coach. When he came back I went over to him, "I'm sorry about that Coach.." Coach laughed, "You don't have to do any explaining to me. It makes the most sense for a story line. I knew it was coming after I heard you were gonna be on screen." I smiled, "Yea. But that's not what I was gonna say." Coach interrupted me again, "I understand that too Andrea. You're a part of Evolution now. If you didn't act like that you'd be out of place. Plus, I did deserve it. Have I apologized for taping you singing last week?" I laughed, "You've apologized many times Coach. It's okay now though. Not the end of the world like I had previously thought."

I was making my way back to the locker room when Shawn stopped me in the hall. "Congratulations Rea! You did great out there!" I smiled and blushed, "Really? I wasn't too comfortable being a bitch on screen, but being with Evolution and all I didn't have much of a choice." Shawn smiled, "You made a great first impression. Well, second impression technically... but your first impression was great also. Which is why I came to look for you in the first place."

I got confused, "You lost me there Shawn. What do you mean THAT'S why you came to look for me?" Shawn smiled, "Well, I was talking to Bisch earlier when he got a phone call about that segment last week. Seems a Mr. Toby Keith watched the show and enjoyed your little rendition of his song."

My eyes about bugged out of my head, "WHAT?!" Shawn laughed, "PLEASE tell me you're joking and that really didn't happen earlier. Please?" Shawn smiled, "Hate to break it to ya, but it did. And Toby Keith was right... you did a wonderful job last week." I rolled my eyes, "Whatever Shawn. You just don't want me to feel stupid. Guess what, it didn't work." Shawn laughed, "You're still not over the singing on live television that millions watched, huh?" I shook my head no. Shawn smiled, "People will forget eventually. After they stop showing the segment that is." I sighed, "The only thing I didn't like about tonight was that everyone had to watch that again. Didn't I embarrass myself enough that one time? You'd think WWE would know I don't want it to be shown tons."

Shawn shook his head, "You know it'll be on DVD's in the future right? Those funny moments on RAW... that'll be one of them, purely because of your reaction." I rolled my eyes, "It's gonna haunt me forever, huh?" "'Fraid so."
