"Our next guests have sold millions of albums, their record has gone multi-platinum, and they are the most famous girl band since the Spice Girls. Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome, Twilight!" Damien, a VJ for MTV's TRL, announced with as much enthusiasm as a kid in a candy store.
After one of their songs started to play the five band members walked out and began to wave to the crowd. Trish ran forward, slapping peoples' hands along the way.
"Welcome back, ladies!" Damien exclaimed.
"Thank you, we're glad to be back," Amy said before waving towards the fans.
"We're going to show the debut of your newest video "Two Become One" from your newest self-titled album, Twilight. After, it'll be time to name the winner of the Win a Date with a member of Twilight contest." Damien lowered his microphone as the camera went to the small TV screen. The five girls filled the screen with their new video.
After the video ended, Damien was standing with a cell phone in his hand. "Alright ladies, its time to call the winner. Now, none of you know who he is going to pick, correct?"
They all nodded. Trish grabbed the microphone. "They better not pick me because Randy will kill them."
Lilian snatched the microphone from her friend, giving her a look that told her to shut the fuck up.
"Heed that warning people," Damien laughed, "Now... Let's get the winner on the line!"
After moments of ringing someone picked up the phone, "Hello?" a masculine voice asked.
"Johnny Nitro? Hi, this is Damien from TRL!" Damien looked down at his card. "And you have won the "Win a date with a member from Twilight" contest!"
"No way! Oh my God are you serious!" Johnny yelled into the phone.
The girls smiled and Lilian raised her microphone to her mouth. "Oh, we're serious Johnny! How are you?" she asked with enthusiasm.
"I'm doing fine, thank you."
Trish took the microphone back. "Alright, so who are you picking?"
"I would love to go on a date with Melina," Johnny said smoothly.
All eyes went to Melina, who stood there, stunned. From out of nowhere, Lilian jumped up. "Yes! I just won five-hundred dollars!" Her wild personality came out every time she was in front of a live crowd. She really fed off their energy.
"Lil, calm down," Stephanie hissed. Lilian was doing the running man when she stopped and looked around slowly. She giggled out of embarrassment before standing in between Stephanie and Trish.
"I can't believe I won," Johnny said in amazement, "Melina, you're my favorite! I have all of your posters!"
"I'm... flattered..." Melina lied quickly. Truthfully, she was scared, very scared now. She didn't want to go on a date with an overly-obsessive fan.
"Well we have to go to a commercial break now," Damien said. "When we come back we have the Pussycat Dolls here to perform for you live!"
As the girls trudged back on to the bus, the atmosphere changed. Lilian went back to her quiet self. Trish was still loud. Melina burst out with her bottled up emotions. "This fucking sucks!" She threw a pillow across the room before plopping down on the couch.
"Aw c'mon Mel, it won't be that bad," Stephanie said. "I have to go on that date with Hunter tomorrow night too."
"Yeah, Randy and I have plans too." Trish offered her friend a kind smile.
Amy nodded. "Adam and I are going out as well. You'll be fine Melina."
Lilian looked from woman to woman as they said their plans for tomorrow. Then, the Latina began to pout.
"I don't have a date for tomorrow," Lilian said sadly. Amy looked over at her with a sympathetic smile.
"I'm sure Eric would love to go out to dinner, right Eric?" Trish called to their manager who was outside on the phone.
"What, Trish?" the man called back. Lilian put a hand over Trish's mouth before she could yell back.
"I don't want to go with Eric!"
"Aw, she wants to go with Chris!" Stephanie cooed.
"I do not!" The small blonde sat in a chair opposite of them, folding her arms across her chest. "I will just stay on this safe bus and watch movies. You all can go out and get 'napped by Asslut and her goones."
"Yeah, sure, you just keep telling yourself that babe," Amy said, taking a seat by Stephanie.
"We have to go shopping tomorrow before we go on our dates!" Stephanie said excitedly. "Oh I hope Eric will take us to Versace. I wish we were in LA. I would kill for an hour on Rodeo Drive."
Trish groaned and started to sing, "'Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl."
"Shut up, Trish," Stephanie snapped, "You love when we go to Rodeo Drive. Chanel is your life!"
"Because Chanel rocks," Trish said proudly. Melina rolled her eyes.
"Guys, we've got a bigger problem on our hands! I'm going on a date with a potential stalker!" Melina exclaimed before burying her face in her hands.
"Oh sweetie, it won't be that bad. I'm sure he's a nice guy. By the sounds of it he really likes you." Amy rubbed Melina's back gently. Melina glared at Amy.
"How do you know? You don't have to worry about some dude obsessing over you."
"That's right I don't because Adam would kick their ass." Amy stood up and stretched. "I'm going to change clothes and head off to the gym, who else wants to go?"
Trish immediately stood up along with Stephanie. They looked at Lilian and Melina. "Are you two just going to stay on the bus and be pissed all day?"
Both of the Latinas shrugged and nodded.
"Well, alrighty then," Trish said.
After the three dressed in their gym gear they left Melina and Lilian huddled on the couch. Lilian pulled out a blanket and covered them both.
"So what do you think this Johnny guy is like?" Lilian asked quietly. Eric was sitting in the small office part of the bus, writing out checks so they could talk in private.
"I don't know. I just hope he doesn't try to rape me or anything." Melina let out a nervous chuckle. Lilian giggled.
"Well just give it a try, and if he's a complete jerk then call me and I'll come and save you since I have nothing better to do." Lilian sighed loudly at the thought of being alone.
"We could always trade. I mean, I'm sure Johnny would be okay if we said I was sick and you were sent in my place," she offered.
Lilian shook her head. "No, that wouldn't be right. The guy did sound like he really liked you. I'm sure you'll be fine. Plus, Shane has undercover bodyguards for you."
Meanwhile, at the gym, the other three band members were talking. Trish was doing leg presses while Lita was doing crunches and Steph on the free weights. "Alright, so what's this about?" Trish asked.
"We have to get Chris and Lil together tomorrow night," the redhead said.
"But the real problem is: How?" Trish asked. She wiped some sweat from her forehead and took a swig of water.
"I'm not too sure about that part. Let's take a break and brainstorm," Amy said as she sat down Indian style in the middle of the floor. Stephanie and Trish joined her seconds later.
"We could always call Chris and just tell him what's going on," Steph said after a long pause. Trish nodded slightly.
"Or we could act like Lilian and set up a date and have Chris come and get her. She'd be shocked," Trish said with a huge grin.
"She'd be pissed, too, so that's not an option," Amy pointed out. Trish slumped her shoulders and nodded reluctantly. She did not want to get yelled at by Lilian again.
"I really think we should just call Chris," Stephanie said again. "What harm will it do? We all know those two are crazy about each other. I don't think he'll be too upset with taking her to dinner."
"The only problem I can think of with that plan is if his line is busy because he's talking to her on the phone." Amy laughed and took a drink of her water. "Who wants to call?"
"I will!" Trish shouted. She jumped up and ran to the bench where she'd put her gym bag. She pulled out her cell phone and returned to the group of girls. "Okay, let's do this!" She dialed in his number and turned the phone on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chris!" they all said together.
"Umm... Hi..." he said, confused as to who was calling. He knew it was Trish, but he was wondering why there were so many people on the phone.
"It's me, Steph, and Amy," Trish explained, "And we need you to do us a huuuuuge favor!"
"Does it involve anything illegal? Because you know I can't go to jail again..." Chris said, referring to the one time he had to spend a night in jail after doing a favor for Melina.
"No! This favor is much simpler," Amy piped up, "All you have to do is take Lilian on a date."
There was a long pause on the other end. "Does Lil know about this?" Apparently he didn't want to piss her off either.
"Umm…no," Steph said quietly. "You see, Melina got picked for that contest thing. I have to do that stupid date with Hunter. Ames and Trish are both going out with Adam and Randy, which leaves Lil all alone."
"I see," was all he said.
"Will you do it Chris?" Trish asked.
"Of course I will." All three of them could picture his smile on the other end of the phone. "Just give me a time and a place and I'll be there."
"Well, here's what we're thinking…" Trish's voice began to fade as all of the girls got together to talk over a plan with him.
The next day, the five band members hit the streets of New York City. The five women really hit the shops that day. They spent hours going in and out of stores before they found something just right for their dates. Trish bought an outfit at Saks, Stephanie bought a red dress at Gucci, Melina raided Baby Phat, Amy decided to buy a skirt at Diesel, and Lilian was forced to buy a cute dress at Dolce and Gabbana.
"Hey Ames, did you take my eyeliner again?" Trish yelled from the bathroom. Amy looked towards the door then threw the eyeliner into the bathroom.
"Ouch, you hit me!" Trish complained. The bus broke out into a fit of giggles.
Lilian sat on the couch, sporting a pair of boxers and oversized t-shirt. She was watching the other girls get ready. "Hey Mel, why don't you try that new hair thing we saw on that billboard today?"
"I'll try it, but I doubt I'll look half as good as that model," she called from the bathroom.
Trish came running through the main room, throwing things. "I can't find my damn deodorant!"
Steph came walking past, making both Lilian and Trish cough on her perfume. "Good Lord woman, you're going to asphyxiate him!" Trish shouted.
Amy was the first one ready, as usual. She sat next to Lilian and prodded her to take a shower.
"Why? I don't stink and it's not like I'm going anywhere," she protested.
"Just do it! It'll make you feel better," Amy replied.
"Ugh, fine," Lilian pushed herself up off the couch. "Maybe you're right, Ames... It might make me feel better."
"I know it will," Amy held in the huge grin that wanted to break out on her face and offered her a small smile instead.
"Knock knock," someone said as they opened the door. Amy glanced over and rolled her eyes.
"Trish!" Amy yelled. Trish poked her head out of the bathroom. She had her toothbrush hanging out of her mouth and she was leaning over pulling on some heels.
"Wha...?" She then spotted Randy and ducked back inside the bathroom.
Minutes later, Trish came sprinting out of the bathroom and jumping into Randy's arms. "Hi baby!" she squealed before kissing him.
"Ew," Steph said, walking past them.
Lilian came out of the bathroom moments later. She took her seat back on the couch. Trish and Randy left, but not before Trish could whisper to Amy that she wanted details about what will happen with Chris. Stephanie and Melina finished getting ready and Amy went back to her room to get her lip gloss. And then someone knocked on the door.
It's probably Adam, Lilian thought as she stood up. She opened the door and was shocked to see Chris Jericho standing there. "I heard you were in need of a date." He flashed her his smile and then walked onto the bus.
"I...I... who told you!" Lilian stuttered. When she turned a bright shade of red Chris grinned but just shrugged and took a seat.
"Chris! Hi!" Amy waved to the blonde man from her spot in the doorway. Chris waved back then looked to Lilian who was glaring at Amy.
"Lil, don't give me that look." Amy applied some lip gloss and tossed it to Steph who was waiting patiently in her room.
"Go get dressed, please," Chris smiled kindly at Lilian who blushed even more. She couldn't believe that they had planned this!
Amy walked up, taking her friend by the shoulders. "You can kill me later, but we have to get you ready for the ball, Cinderella!" As she was walking back towards Lilian's room, Christ could hear her say, "We don't want you losing a glass boot out there, do we?"
A little later, Lilian stumbled out of her room after being pushed by Amy. Chris stood up from his seat on the couch. His eyes did a once over, and he grinned. "Are you ready?"
"Yes I am," Lilian smiled at him. Chris held out his arm for her to loop hers through. After a moment she did and Chris grinned.
"You look beautiful," he complimented, making Lilian blush again.
"You don't look too bad yourself, Christopher." When she said his full first name Chris poked her in the side.
"You know I hate 'Christopher'," he smirked, "I prefer the King of Bling Bling." This made Lilian giggle.
"So who called you and told you I needed a date?"
Before he could answer, Amy was shoving them out the door, where Adam was waiting. "You two have fun and play nice!" She smiled after them and then grabbed Adam by the arm, swinging him inside the bus.
"Hello to you too," he joked. She kissed him roughly and then walked into the main room.
"Steph, Mel," she called, "Adam and I are leaving now. You two have fun on your dates!"
"Bye!" the other two girls yelled back.
"And you aren't comin' back for a long, long time," he said, swatting her ass. "Let me wine you and dine you before I fuck you."
"You are such a pigheaded jackass!"
"A very hot pigheaded jackass," Adam corrected while leading her off the bus.
"They are so gross," Melina commented once Amy and Adam were out of earshot. Stephanie nodded in agreement.
"They have sex way too much in my opinion," Steph then giggled, "He may break her vagina one day." Stephanie dodged a flying eyelash curler.
"You are so nasty!" Melina yelled. Stephanie just shrugged and laughed.
Ignoring her friend's comment, she said, "I'm going to go. Hunter and I are meeting at the restaurant."
"Yeah, I better go too. Eric's got a limo for me so I can arrive at the restaurant in 'style'." She rolled her eyes.
Stephanie smiled and they both got off the bus. Melina took a seat in the limo, where the chauffer was holding the door open. She sat in the back, wringing her hands over and over. She was so nervous. When she felt the limo pull to a stop at the entrance of the restaurant, her breathing hitched. The driver came around to open her door, and she stepped out into the evening.
The front door was being held open for her as well. She smiled kindly and walked inside. The place was so crowded. Oh yeah right, like I'm ever going to find him in here.
"Melina?"
She turned around and was shocked to see one of the most beautiful men standing in front of her, Johnny Nitro.
