"A little bit to the left." I say as Randy is trying to hang up a picture from our wedding on our living room wall.

Randy moves as I said. "Here?"

"Yes, that works."

Randy hangs up the picture. "Okay. We're all good."

"Fantastic."

"So what's all going on tonight?"

"Tyler and Kenny are coming to watch SmackDown tonight. They have ringside tickets. They'll meet us early though, so we can hang out backstage beforehand. I'm wrestling Natalya tonight, and I think you have a match against Jay. Eve, Ryse, Ted, Cody, and John are all going to be backstage tonight, so I was thinking maybe if Cody and Ted could chill, we could all eat dinner here together."

"Why?"

"I have a lot of extra food to cook because Eve and Cody just left without saying anything and Ryse and Ted gave us very little notice. I need a reason to cook a lot. I'll invite Tyler and Kenny too. We can video call Chelle or something too. Get everyone involved."

Randy nods. "Okay. That works for me."

"Me too."

We hear a phone start ringing.

"Is that your phone or my phone?"

"Mine is charging upstairs in our bedroom. Must be yours."

Randy goes to grab his cell phone. "It's Eve calling me."

"Answer it then. Must be important."

Randy picks up his phone and answers the call. "Hey, Eve. What's up?…Oh. I'll put you on speaker. She's in here with me. Just give me a second."

I give Randy a confused look. "What's going on?"

Randy shrugs. "Eve said that she needs to talk to you and it's urgent."

"Put her on speaker."

Randy puts Eve on speaker. "Okay, Eve. You're on speaker."

Eve: "Thanks, Randy. Can you hear me, Rissa?"

Me: "I can hear you loud and clear, Eve. What's going on?"

Eve: "Well…I was asked not to tell you, but I think you need to know. Don't tell Cody that I told you."

Randy and I exchange confused looks.

Me: "I won't tell Cody. What's going on?"

Eve: "Well, John Laurinaitis has been having secret meetings with some of the Superstars that are unhappy. Cody is one of them, so that's how I know. I don't know who the others are, but if I do find out, I'll let you know. They are working to put together a lawsuit against Triple H."

Me: "Seriously?"

Eve: "Yeah. I don't agree with this. I don't think this is a good idea. It'll give Laurinaitis more power probably, so I wanted to let you know. That way, you can warn Triple H. Just don't mention my name."

Me: "I can do that. Thank you, Eve."

Eve: "Absolutely. Sorry for bugging you at home. I'll see you in a little bit at work."

Me: "It's not a big deal, Eve. I'll see you at work."

Eve: "Bye."

Me: "Bye."

The call ends.

I look at Randy. "Let's go grab our stuff."

Randy gives me a confused look. "Already?"

"I need to beat John Laurinaitis to work, so I can talk to Triple H."

Randy nods. "On it."

SmackDown Filming: September 27, 2011

I walk into Triple H's office. "I think I know enough now to deem John Laurinaitis as a problem."

Triple H gives me a concerned look. "What's that?"

"I've heard through names I won't fully disclose that John Laurinaitis has been doing secret meetings with unhappy Superstars."

"Is that so? Who told you?"

I sigh. "Eve did. Turns out Cody is one of them. Cody didn't want me knowing that, so Eve asked me not to mention her name."

"What else do you know?"

"There's a few others. Eve said that she would try to compile a list for me. They're putting together a lawsuit against you."

"Why?"

"I have no idea. This isn't going to end well. I was right about John Laurinaitis though. Wasn't I? Punk too. He was right too."

Triple H sighs. "Yes. You were both right. Don't say a word about anything related to what we are discussing here to Laurinaitis if you see him. I'll fight the lawsuit. Like you said, John Laurinaitis wants more power. If somehow I do end up out of power, I'll make it so those responsibilities go to you. The only person who can veto that is Vince. The only thing is if you do take over for a while, he'll come after you too."

"He already is, so go ahead."

"Anyway, I can't give you any power to make matches in the Divas Division while you're still the Divas Champion because that's technically a conflict of interests, but I'll make sure to put in here that when you start trying to get pregnant, you can have that authority."

"Thank you."

Triple H smiles as he prints out some papers. "Absolutely."

"I'm glad we're on the same page about this now."

"Me too." Triple H signs the papers a few times before sliding them over to me. "Sign these."

I get my reading glasses out of my bag. "Okay."

I read over the papers and sign where I need to.

Triple H takes the papers back. "Thanks, Marissa. Let me know if you learn anything else."

"Absolutely."

I walk into my locker-room. "Hey, babe, Tyler, Kenny."

"Hey." All three men say.

"How'd it go?" Randy asks.

"Well…" I say. "I may have just made one of the biggest decisions of my life. Hell, I think I've made my top few biggest decisions of my life this year."

"What did you do?"

"Well, I just signed some paperwork that gives me the authority that Triple H currently has if anything happens where he can't be in that position."

"The lawsuit?"

"Yeah, just in case things go bad due to the lawsuit. This way, John Laurinaitis can't just usurp the position."

Randy nods. "So Triple H is on the same page as you now?"

"He is. We both don't want John Laurinaitis to gain more power."

"Good. Don't let him do it."

"I won't. Tyler, Kenny, can you leave the room for a few, so I can change into my ring gear?"

Tyler rolls his eyes. "Don't worry. I'm leaving."

"Thank you."

Tyler and Kenny exit the locker-room.

Randy watches me as I change into ring gear. "What are you going to do if you do end up with the authority?"

I slip on my top. "I'm going to do what is necessary to keep John Laurinaitis away from getting more power."

"Okay."

"I might have to have this battle of power with him while we're trying for a baby if it goes on long enough."

"You might. Did you tell the others about us inviting them to dinner? I told Tyler and Kenny."

I sigh as I motion for Randy to clasp my gear. "No. Can you text John, Ted, and Ryse? I'm not inviting Cody, and I'll tell Eve in person."

Randy clasps my top. "I'll text them."

"Thanks, babe."

I was in guerilla, waiting to make my entrance for my match against Natalya, when a segment aired with John Laurinaitis with various unhappy Superstars. This included Cody, Dolph Ziggler, Vickie Guerrero, Jack Swagger, and Christian.

I look at Ryse, who had decided to hang out with me in guerilla. "Do you think that…"

Ryse nods. "Absolutely. Are Cody and Eve coming to dinner tonight?"

"I didn't even invite Cody. Eve said that she was going to politely decline."

Ryse rolls her eyes. "This is causing a lot of problems."

"Yeah. Not only is Cody involved, but also Dolph and Jay, who I'm also friends with. I'm not happy."

"Not to mention David Otunga, who is one of your least favorite people."

"Yeah. Damn, I really want to get involved since he's involved in this."

"You have a degree in legal studies, don't you? Find a way, even if it's just helping Triple H."

"I guess I'll have to."

("New Foundation" plays)

"The following Divas match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Beth Phoenix, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Natalya!"

Ryse smiles at me. "Good luck."

I nod. "Thanks."

I know I want that girl so bad

I lie awake at night

And think of all the things that I would do

With a girl like that…

"And her opponent, from Saint Louis, Missouri, she is the WWE Divas Champion, Marissa Orton!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Natalya and I locked up. I shove her into the corner.

1!

2!

3!

4!

The referee forces me off. I back off before kneeing Natalya in the gut. I then grab Natalya and hit a Running Bulldog. I pin Natalya.

1…kickout!

Natalya and I lock up again. She gains the advantage and moves to grab me from behind. She hits me with a German Suplex and bridges into a pin.

1…kickout!

I hit her with a Dropkick. Natalya gets up, and I hit her with an Arm Drag. I then lock her in an Armbar. She struggles, but she makes it to the ropes. I break the submission hold.

I duck a Clothesline from Natalya before grabbing her and hitting a Backbreaker. I climb up onto the top turnbuckle, but Beth climbs up onto the apron while the referee is focusing on Natalya. I kick Beth before slapping her off of the apron. Natalya hits me in the stomach before climbing up and hitting me with a Superplex. Natalya pins me.

1…2…kickout!

Natalya hits me with a Suplex. She then grabs me and starts to lock in the Sharpshooter. I kick her off to avoid being locked in.

Natalya grabs me and tries to Irish Whip me. I reverse it and Irish Whip her into the ring post.

I give Natalya a Spinebuster. Beth gets up on the apron. I ran at her and hit her with a Superkick.

I ran at Natalya and hit her with a Hurricanrana.

I duck another Clothesline from Natalya before grabbing her and hitting the Chaotic Ending. I pin Natalya.

1…2…3!

"Here is your winner, Marissa Orton!"

I celebrate in the ring, in front of my hometown. I get attacked from behind and thrown into the ring post. Beth grabs me and hits me with a Glam Slam before leaving with Natalya.

I finished cooking the spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner tonight with my friends and family. "Food's done!"

The others slowly peek into the kitchen.

I look at them. "You can grab food. Actually, I cooked. You can grab food after I've gotten mine."

Everyone nods as I make myself a plate.

I sit down in the dining room. "Drink whatever. Fridge is open."

Randy quickly gets a plate and joins me. "Smells and looks amazing."

I grin. "Me or the food?"

"Can't it be both?"

"Only since I was the one that cooked."

"I love you."

"I love you too, babe."

Tyler and Kenny enter the dining room.

"Ew." Tyler says. "Love and affection."

"Gross." Kenny comments.

"Shut up." I reply as I start eating.

"We still aren't used to you two being like this."

"What are you going to do when we're having a baby together?"

"Still find it gross."

"You two are thirty-one years old. Grow up."

Randy laughs. "Seriously, you two need to grow up. All three of us guys are in our thirties. This is normal."

"You're both acting like thirty is old." Tyler says as John, Ted, and Ryse sit at the dining table. "It's not."

"I wouldn't know." I reply. "I'm not there yet."

"You're less than a year away, Rissa. You pretty much are."

"Can we stop talking like that?" John asks. "I can't have this conversation."

"That's because you're thirty-four."

"I'm not old."

"No one is old yet." Ted says. "Let's just enjoy this amazing food."

"Thank you." I say. "I made all this food. I've barely gotten any complements."

Ryse looks at me. "This food is amazing."

"Thanks."

Randy kisses my cheek. "Looks like we both forgot drinks. I'm going to take care of that."

"Thank you."

John looks at me as Randy goes to grab both of us drinks. "Are you nervous?"

"About what?"

"Everything at work?"

"Everything?"

"Your Last Diva Standing match, John Laurinaitis, the lawsuit against Triple H."

I sigh. "Yes, I'm nervous about my match."

Randy comes back with drinks. "Here."

"Thanks. As I was saying, I'm nervous about my match, but I'm not nervous about John Laurinaitis or the lawsuit itself. I'm nervous about what I'd have to do if Triple H loses his position."
