Over the past month, things were certainly getting a lot better between Randy and Roxanna. Roxy was now more willing to talk and discuss the past with Randy and Randy was willing to listen too. Things had been going possibly better than ever. Roxy was now happier about the fact that Lily's health was improving and that she'd been given rave reviews about her General Managementship on Raw.
Were things destined to remain like this for long?
It was now only a few weeks away from one of the WWE's annual joint pay per views, Survivor Series. Not many matches had been announced for either brand. Vince had decided to hold a meeting between both brands to discuss this amongst other issues.
Both brands were sat away from each other. That's how it had to be. No other way would be acceptable to anyone.
"What d'ya think this is gonna be about?" Shawn asked
"No idea man, none at all." RVD responded, folding his arms.
"Do you know Roxy?" Jericho spoke, leaning across the desk, disrupting Lita and Roxanna from their conversation.
"I don't - I just know Vince wants to say some stuff, that's all." Roxy shrugged.
"Hope it won't take too long." JBL muttered from across the desk.
"Don't worry - I'll make sure it doesn't last too long." JBL's image consultant, Jillian Hall, promised.
"I hate meetings." Kurt Angle sighed, walking into the room.
"I know what you mean." Randy said in a civilised fashion.
Before anyone could say anymore, John Cena walked into the room. Randy clasped hold of Roxy's hand, not in panic. He hated John, really he did for stirring shit up originally between himself and Roxy and leaving him half dead, in his hour of need.
"Hi, urm, Randy, long time no see. Glad that you and Roxanna are back together..." Cena spoke, knocking his hands together.
Roxy looked over at Randy.
"Did you hear something sweetie, or was it just me?" Randy quizzed falsely, looking in the opposite direction of his one time best friend.
Before John could begin to answer, Vince McMahon walked into the room and took his seat, of course, at the head of the table. Removing his notes from his briefcase, he placed them in the right order before clearing his throat and looking at his confused staff.
"Thank you for all turning up. I can appreciate it was a bit last minute...Anyway I'm here to first of all congratulate everyone on the great tour to Japan last week, I think both brands did a great job, especially with fan interaction. All of the shows sold out and I'm pleased to announce that the next Japanese trip will be held some time early next summer, possibly as early as May. Anyway, back down to business, I would like to remind both brands that matches do need assigning to Survivor Series but I do need to talk to both of Raw's General Managers after this meeting, if that is ok."
'Wonder what that could be about?' Roxy mused to herself, glancing over at Lita.
"Like I was saying, I'm sure many of you are aware that Christmas is indeed approaching and I have been giving it some careful consideration..."
"Don't tell me you're gonna organise another Christmas Eve Party!" Christian groaned, raising his head from the desk which he was slumped across.
"No, actually, I wasn't going to suggest that but if anyone wanted me to organise a McMahon Christmas Eve Extravaganza..."
"NO!" the whole room erupted, both Raw and Smackdown! stars agreeing.
"Are they that bad?" Roxy whispered to Randy.
"Terrible." Randy murmered in dismay.
"Fair enough," Vince continued "Over the past few weeks I have been giving this years Christmas some careful consideration. You see, although Christmas Party's have been one of the many attractions over the festive season, I wanted to do something a little different this year, something that the WWE has never done before."
"What like pretend to be Santa Clause and slide down each other's chimneys?" Chris Jericho wisecracked.
"Ha ha, no in fact, something more at the heart of Christmas than Santa...I think it's about time the WWE had a Christmas number one single!" Vince stated proudly, smiling broadly at his staff.
Everyone looked at each other in horror. Did Vince really just say he wanted the WWE to have a Christmas number one single?
"We are hearing you, right?" Triple H muttered in confusion.
"Yes, so, what do you guys think?" Vince questioned his employees enthusiastically.
"Mr McMahon, I hope you don't mind me saying but, I think you've finally lost it." Trish Stratus decided.
"Count me out!" Roxanna half laughed.
"Me too!" Randy and Lita agreed in unison.
"Come, come now, you haven't heard me out." Vince tried to reason.
"Yeah, let him finish!" The Coach spoke on the behalf of the boss.
"Thank you Coachman. Anyway, none of you would have much more to sing - or rap - than one line or so. In fact, many of you wouldn't even be singing solo's."
"Still not convinced." Roxy shook her head.
"This is an awful idea!" Shelton Benjamin stated.
"What would do the company better than to have a number one single, huh? Just think about it, wouldn't you all love to be a global music success?" Vince asked, soaring his hand above into the air, in an attempt for the Wrestlers, Diva's and General Managers to see things his way.
Most of the office sniggered.
"No that's why I became a wrestler!" Shawn laughed.
"I think it's a great idea - if you're a moron!" Edge punned.
"Alright, I know when I'm beaten. Just please promise me that you'll consider it and tell me at Survivor Series at the latest what you think. Everyone's dismissed except for Eric and Roxanna, I need a quick word with the two of you." Vince said, slamming his pen down onto the desk in frustration.
"See you in a minute." Randy grinned, letting go of Roxy's hand.
"Now, I'm sure you both noticed that there was no Theodore R Long in this meeting?" Vince asked the Raw General Managers.
"Yeah, why?" Eric wondered.
"I'm afraid that Mr Long and myself cannot come to an agreement on a new contract for him and he is taking a two month break, as of last week."
"How does this concern us?" Roxy confusedly said.
"I thought of a great Raw Survivor Series match which would pit you two against each other. You both select five men to be on your team. The team that wins the match, their General Manager gets to decide whether they manage Raw or Smackdown! for the next few weeks." Vince announced.
"Are you serious? Why would I want anything to do with the brand I have thrashed on so many different occasions?" Eric egotistically questioned.
Roxy rolled her eyes at her arrogant Father.
"Healthy competition my man. I think you two have teams to organise..." Vince concluded, showing Father and Daughter the door.
"Should be interesting." Roxy said.
"May the best team win." Eric replied, extending his hand.
"Oh don't worry, we will!" Roxy smiled sadistically, shaking his hand.
"Hey, what was all that about?" Randy asked, walking over.
"Looks like I need to find myself a Survivor Series team!" she sighed, watching her Father walk away like a hawk.
But which team would prevail?
