Thanks to all who reviewed, especially : Maddy24, Sian, Takerslady, EyezxOnxMe, Philippines and Kiora Storm - you guys were really quick to let me know what you thought, much appreciated .. but anyway.. on with the show!

A horn tooted outside the apartment, and John leaned out the window. A massive smile spread across his face as he looked down at his sometime tag team, back stage interviewer and travelling partner. As Maria stood down on the sidewalk below, the horn tooted again, but Cena was mesmerized. The way the sun glinted in her hair, the way her green shirt hugged her curves and set off the colour of her eyes... He shook his head, this had to stop.

"Hey Ria,' he called down to her as she waved up at him. "How's my favourite cheerleader?" Damn, she'd looked good in THAT particular uniform.

Maria groaned as she looked up at the window. "Just fine until you asked me that question!' she responded playfully.

"If I didn't know better I'd say something liked that section of Monday night RAW just a littleeeee bit to much."

She batted her eyelashes at try and make him laugh. Secretly, she had hoped he'd enjoyed it! After she'd headed backstage with Torrie and they were congratulated by the other Superstars, Torrie had told her that John had been staring at her. Maria didn't know what it meant, but she intended upon finding out!

John suddenly met her eyes with his, holding her with an intense stare. He croaked out, 'Ri, you have no idea."

She froze on the spot upon this admission, and John started to squirm uncomfortably under her careful scrutiny. In the car, CM PUNK (a.k.a Phil Brooks) tapped his fingers upon the dashboard in frustration. What was keeping those two? He hit the horn again, this time holding it down. Giving up on the horn - it was even giving him a headache - he rolled down his window."Maria, we have to make it to make it to Vegas by tomorrow, and if we don't hurry up - we won't get there!

Maria turned to her boyfriend, her cheeks blushing bright red. 'Sorry honey. John will be right down, won't you John?" She turned, directing her question towards Cena

"Sure," the Champ shrugged.

"Let's get this convoy moving."

He disappeared from the window, and Maria turned back to Phil."I'm going up to say hi to Becs, I'll be right down. Could you pop the trunk for John? Thanks." And with that, she turned and hurried into the building.

John was halfway out the door before Becs stopped him."What, no hug for your favourite roommate?"

He rolled his eyes. 'Don't you mean my only roommate? The person who keeps taking the piss out of me and then tried to burn my breakfast AND my kitchen?"

Becki had burnt his breakfast, which she'd offered to make as an apology for waking him up. The smoke alarm had gone off, and in a matter of minutes John had gone from WWE Superstar to pro-firefighter. Becki had laughed her head off at the site of John standing on a step ladder in only a shirt and boxers trying to turn the alarm off. While all this was happening, the curtains above the sink had burnt halfway up the wall! In an effort to stop the fire, John had ripped off his shirt and thrown it on to the flames, which had thankfully gone out.

He wrapped his arms around Becki, and kissed her on the cheek. "I should be home soon, in a couple of days at least. Stay out of trouble won't you? I don't need to hear anything about you messing up. I'll ring you tonight. You might have to come bail me out of jail ... Punk's going to drive me to the limit, I can tell."

Becki grinned slyly. "Me? Mess up? Never! You, however ... don't let him get to you. You're doing this for Maria right? I know she means the world to you." She let John go and turned around, only to see Maria in the hallway fidgeting. Oh no Becs thought wryly. Tell me she didn't just see that. "Maria! How are you girl? You looked hot on RAW the other night, did you know that!"

"Thanks,' Maria said softly. What did the scene she had just witnessed mean? What had John been telling Becki? "John, we have to get going. If you want to take your stuff down to the car and I'll catch up with you in a minute ..."

John studied Maria carefully, something was up. She hadn't just heard what Becki said had she? Oops, he thought. Can't do anything about it now. He picked up his bags and nodded in Becs direction. The elevator doors opened and he stepped inside, hidden from view. Closing his eyes he sighed out loud. He was at the top of the business, he'd just regained his title and he got to work with an incredible group of people, including his best friend. So why wasn't he happy?

The doors slid open and John grabbed his bags, heading out to the SVU that he and Maria traveled in. CM PUNK was standing at the rear of the vehicle. Seeing Sena he groaned inwardly and out loud. "Dude, we could've been on the road by now, we're gonna be late."

"We're not going to be late,"John snapped, dumping his bags in the car. "We'll get there, don't worry."

"Ooh feisty today aren't we Cena?" Brooks returned.

"Yeah well when people get irritated with me for reasons that are beyond my control I do."

"So whose fault is it then? Mine? Oh c'mon I saw you man, you heard the horn,you could've come right downstairs, you were stalling."

"Stalling how? and what? Start making sense and we'll talk."

"And I know the perfect subject for us to get acquainted over!" With a look of pure fury in his eyes, Phil Brooks eye balled the Champ.

"Well shoot then. We might as well as something to discuss all the way to Las Vegas!"

Phil pulled himself to his full height, looking Cena straight in the eyes. There was all of five centimetres in between them, and Cena wasn't about to back down. "Next time you want to ogle my girlfriend? Take a picture John ... it'll last longer."

He stormed around to the passengers seat and climbed in, slamming the door behind him. John stood there in disbelief as Maria came back out to join him. "We ready to go?' she asked.

John swallowed hard, trying to ignore the lump that was growing in his throat.

"Yeah, Ria. We're ready."

Man, he wished today was over already. He'd only been out of bed for about an hour, and he was already hoping that the day couldn't get any worse.

So guys what do we think? This one was a bit longer, I wasn't entirely sure of how to portray CM PUNK, down in Australia we only get RAW,Smackdown,Heat,Velocity and Experience, nothing from OVW. I didn't want to make him too bad at this stage, so at the moment hes just pissed off because they were running late and because John couldn't keep his eyes off Maria. If anyone could give me a quick overview of Punks character id gladly take it into consideration ... CM fans be warned though ... its going to worse for him before it gets better.

Thanks for reading guys!
