I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING BESIDES THE OC'S, I AM SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS LONG.
Fin's Point of View-
I hooked arms with Lilian and walked towards Vince's office, since Vince was going to be there tonight. Lilian knocked on the door before she opened it.
"Hey, I was suspecting you guys to come." Vince said standing up from his chair and hugged them.
"We, at least I, got some questions about this whole singing thing." I said as I sat down on the chair.
"Okay, talk to me." Vince said as he sat on the corner of his desk.
"I don't want to quit my Diva career yet, is there anyway I can do both, maybe part time or something, like when I am at an event and not scheduled to wrestle, maybe sing then, and when I am to wrestle, don't sing unless if we need the extra time or when I feel like it?" I asked.
"That we can do, after this show." Vince said.
"What we singing tonight?" Lilian asked.
"Tonight you are singing the song Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna, is that okay with you two?" Vince said finding two sheets of paper in a folder that was on his desk, and handing each one of us one of them.
"This will do well for me, okay with you?" I asked Lilian.
"Yep, is this really something you want to do?" Lilian asked dead serious.
"All I can do is give it a try right?" I said still a little doubtful.
"Well, tonight is the trial of it anyway, it isn't going to be recorded tonight, we are doing it after it goes off air, which will be right after you and Shannon win your match, so you will already be in the ring. Shannon will probably stay down there with you if he wants to, we will see how the crowd reacts." Vince explained.
"Okay, sounds good." I said nodding my head.
"Good luck ladies, and knock them dead." Vince said hugging them both before we left. Once we got outside the office, we went to the tech room to tell them what was going on, and double checked with them, Lilian and I walked to the dressing room for I can change into my work out clothing.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You know you can say no?" Lilian asked me.
"Yes, I know I don't have to do this and I can quit it at anytime." I said as I pulled up my sweats.
"Do it for you, not for me okay?" Lilian said sitting down on the bench.
"I will, we sing the course together, you sing this verse because you will sound better on that verse than the other, and I will take this verse." I said pointing at what I was talking about as Lilian nodded and went to work on studying the lyrics.
"Okay, I have heard it but haven't really listened to it." Lilian said.
"Well, it's all good. It's on my iPod, so I know almost every note. I am going out to the ring, see you later." I said as I hugged her and headed out to the ring.
Maddie's Point of View-
Shannon and I headed out to the ring to find Jeff, Matt and Gregory already out there wrestling around.
"Hey guys, ready to train Maddie?" Shannon asked as we walked down the ramp.
"Since you're here, does that mean Fin's here?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, she is in Vince's office." I said pointing up the ramp.
"I will stick around, but I don't want to be around when she comes out." Jeff said climbing out of the ring, I stopped him.
"You may leave now, but what are you going to do at the match tonight?" I asked.
"Why should I listen to you?" Jeff asked.
"Because I know your hurt as well, but you need to stay and face her." I said.
"Let him go, he is just a wuss." Shannon said and I let him go. Shannon and I climbed into the ring. Matt taught me the Twist of Fate and how to take it, and Shannon pulled some of Jeff's moves on me as Gregory watched me to make sure I was doing it correctly.
"Alright, why don't you do a basic summersault off the top rope?" Matt said as Gregory lied down on the ring. I did as they instructed me to do so, and I landed it perfectly, it was a proud moment.
Their Point of View-
Fin walked out onto the stage and just smiled down at the others that were in the ring.
"What are you smiling at?" Shannon yelled up to her.
"Guess who I am!" Fin said as she danced around the stage, and kneeled down on the ramp singing Shawn Michaels theme song, "They think I'm cute, I know I am sexy, I got the looks that drive the girls wild, I got the moves, that really move them, I set chills up and down their spines, Just a Sexy Boy, (Sexy Boy), I am not your Boy Toy (Boy Toy)."
Everyone was busting up laughing at her, and what she didn't know was that when she was kneeling down on the ramp Shawn walked out from behind the curtain and up behind her kneeling down. Fin stood up and bumped into him as she got to standing position; she turned around and came face to face with him.
"Hello Fin." Shawn said trying not to smile from laughter.
"When did you get here?" Fin asked a little embarrassed.
"Long enough, good impersonation though." Shawn said now letting out laughter.
"Can you teach me how to do it?" Fin asked Shawn as he pulled her back up to the stage and showed her how he did his entrance.
"Are you guys going to continue dancing up there, we got some training to do down here." Gregory said interrupting them.
"Alright, coming." Shawn said picking Fin up over his shoulder and carried her down the ramp.
"Why does everyone insist on picking me up?" Fin said as he finally set her down on the first step.
"Because it is so damn easy." Matt said holding open the middle rope for Fin and Shawn.
"What's that supposed to be? You want to take me on in a match mister." Fin said getting in Matt's face. Matt simply picked her up and set her on both shoulders, like John Cena would for his FU move.
"What was that you said?" Matt asked walking around the ring with her up there.
"Nothing just put me down." Fin said tugging his hair. Matt set her back down on her feet as Toes came out from backstage.
"Where have you been?" Maddie asked.
"I was putting things in the locker and got talking to some tech guys backstage." Toes said as she made her way to the ring.
"Whatever, what have you learned Maddie?" Shawn asked as Fin volunteered to be the dummy for her.
"I don't want to hurt you though Fin, why do you have to be the dummy?" Maddie asked as she was already standing on the top turnbuckle and hanging onto the ropes to help balance herself.
"Well, either Fin or I." Toes said who was sitting on the bottom rope across from the turnbuckle she was on.
"Why do I have to do it on females?" Maddie said.
"We know you're nervous, but you got to learn how to hit/work with other females, and/or especially with Fin and Toes since they are your best friend. We males take it different than them." Matt said trying to convince her to do the summersault.
"You won't hurt me, it is about trust, and do you trust me?" Fin said.
"Yes, I trust you but I don't trust myself." Maddie said.
"I trust you, do what you have to do and I will do what I have to do." Fin said, Maddie finally stood all the way up without hanging onto the rope, and took one large deep breath. Maddie jumped off the turnbuckle and did her summersault, landing on Fin in the right spot. Fin pretended like she was hurt, and took it like a champ.
"Oh my god, did I hurt you?" Maddie concerned that she hurt her best friend.
"No, that is what you're supposed to do. Do you hurt?" Fin said sitting up from her position and pulled her feet up to where her knees were blocking her lips.
"No, I guess I can do it." Maddie said in relieve.
"It's all about trusting each other." Shawn said. Shawn helped Maddie and Fin up to their feet, and showed Maddie, Fin and Toes a few of his moves, along with the Sweet Chin Music.
"You want to do a three man tag match?" Toes asked.
"How would that work, we have three females and four males. Men can't fight against women." Gregory said.
"Women vs. Men." Fin said.
"No way, we have one extra man." Matt said shaking his head.
"We need a referee, which is where the extra man falls in. You scared that we might win?" Maddie said getting in Matt's face.
"Hey, out of the ring, go shower up for tonight's matches." Shane yelled down at them.
"Yes sir." Shawn said as he was the first one out of the ring. Matt kissed Maddie on the lips lightly, and pulled her closer to him as he helped her out of the ring.
"Good job Maddie, you still got work to do, but you're getting there." Gregory said as he helped Toes out, and Shannon then helped Fin out of the ring.
"Thanks." Maddie said smiling from the compliment.
"Any more thoughts about the whole becoming a Diva idea?" Toes asked, Maddie looked over at Fin who was smiling and giggling from whatever Shannon whispered into her ear. Shannon had his arms around her and his hands were resting in her sweatpants pockets in the front.
"I am still thinking about it, but I am sure that whatever I do, everyone will love me and support me no matter what." Maddie said smiling and looking over at Matt who was standing next to her.
"That's my girl." Matt said lightly kissing her lips. Gregory and Toes joined the kissing fest shortly as they made it backstage to shower up.
Male's Point of View-
They walked into the locker room to find Jeff lying down on the bench, with his headphone buds in his ears and his arm resting over his eyes holding his iPod. Matt walked over to him and pulled his arm off his eyes.
"Good morning sweetie." Matt said, Jeff blinked a few times getting used to the light.
"Hey guys, how was training?" Jeff said sitting up and turning off the iPod.
"Good, we got a lot of training in this time." Gregory said opening his locker.
"That sounds good, well; I am guessing that they are now letting fans in." Jeff said.
"Yeah, that just means soon the show starts, another show down the drain." Matt said.
"What's that supposed to mean, at least you have a match." Gregory said as he looked at Matt.
"Well, where is the next show after this?" Jeff asked digging through his bag for his outfit.
"I think that it is in Texas or Arizona, after that one we are hitting the fabulous home of Fin and Toes, Viva Las Vegas." Shannon said finally speaking.
"Oh, that's good I guess, it should be good for them to be home again." Jeff said pulling his hair out of a ponytail.
"We all get homesick, at least we will be able to go over there and get home cook meals sometimes." Gregory said bringing up the good points of doing Vegas' show.
"True." Matt said giggling.
"When's your match Matt?" Jeff asked.
"It is the second one up I think, I am going to go shower up and fix the hair." Matt said going through his bag and finding his ring outfit. Gregory put on a new outfit, rolled on some deodorant, and sprayed himself with axe.
"Whoa…that axe is strong." Shannon said waving the area next to him where Gregory was once standing.
"Sorry, got to smell good for the ladies." Gregory said.
"Yeah, but did you really have to spray that much?" Shannon said plugging his nose.
"Anyway, does anybody know if Toes has a match tonight?" Gregory said heading towards the door.
"Yeah, I think she is going against Maria." Shannon answered as he pulled out his brushes, gels and hairsprays.
"Alright, thanks, do you know when her match is by any chance?" Gregory asked standing between the door and the wall.
"I think her match is after Matt's, so you have time." Shannon said smiling.
"Thanks Mr. Keeper." Gregory said smiling and leaving the room.
"Are we ever going to be civil about this?" Jeff asked pulling his shoes out of the bag.
"About what?" Shannon said pulling out the make-up and his ring gear.
"This whole situation, I apologized, and you are still treating me like I am like an animal." Jeff said getting up from the bench and headed towards him.
"Not until you come to your senses and apologize to Fin. Good luck on the match tonight." Shannon said slamming his locker shut and headed towards the bathroom to shower up.
"Good luck yourself." Jeff said a little depressed.
"Before I hit the shower, how are the knuckles?" Shannon asked coming back into the other room.
"Still sore and a little swollen, but healing slowly." Jeff said not turning around to see him.
"Good to hear." Shannon said going to the shower area.
Female's Point of View-
"Good training session mamacieta." Fin said hugging her friend.
"Hey girls, what's going on?" Lilian said pacing around the room still looking at the paper for lyrical help.
"Nothing how's the practicing going?" Fin asked.
"Good, got most of it down." Lilian said proudly, Maria and Michelle walked into the room.
"Hey!" Maria said hugging all of them individually.
"Long time no talk or see." Fin said.
"I know, Toes and I have a match tonight." Maria said winking at them.
"When am I going to get in the ring with you Fin?" Michelle asked.
"After this storyline, I promise, maybe earlier depending on what the writers write." Fin said shrugging her shoulders.
"Let's hope soon, because I want to be one of your first matches." Michelle said pointing at her.
"First solo match, I promise, tonight it is a mix tag match so it doesn't count." Fin said.
"When's the match?" Maddie asked Fin.
"The very last one so I can do the singing thing with Lilian afterwards." Fin said digging through her bag finding her ring outfit.
"Cool, mine is the third match, so I am going to go shower up and walk around to warm up and stretch." Toes said grabbing her ring outfit and headed towards the shower.
"You want to run though the song real quick?" Lilian asked Fin.
"Yeah, sure, let me grab my lyrics for reference." Fin said pulling the sheet of paper that was folded away in her bag. Fin unfolded it as Maddie, Maria and Michelle took a seat on the benches to listen to the two girls try to get on the same key by humming.
"Alright, on the count of three….1.…2.…." Lilian said.
"3!" Maddie, Maria and Michelle yelled as they started singing together, and as they finished, Maddie Maria, Michelle, and Toes who just walked out of the shower started clapping and hollering.
"Thank you!" Lilian said as her and Fin did a little curtsy.
"It was good, performing it tonight?" Maddie asked.
"Yep, when we go off air, you know when we usually end 5 minutes early? We are taking up those 5 minutes." Fin explained heading into the shower and practice her words as she was in there.
"Does she always sing in the shower?" Michelle asked.
"All the time." Toes said rolling her eyes.
"Practice makes perfect." Lilian said smiling as she headed out of the room carrying her lyrics.
"See you later Lilian, knock them dead." Maddie yelled out to her, Lilian came back and opened the door.
"Always do." Lilian said smiling back at them. Maria grabbed her clothing and headed into the shower as Fin almost ran into her on the way out.
"Nice singing." Michelle said trying not to giggle.
"Thanks, I try." Fin said throwing her clothes into her bag.
"Why'd you get into your ring gear early?" Maddie asked.
"Because I can, I have an extra ring outfit with me; do you want to escort Matt tonight?" Fin said looking over at Maddie as Victoria walked in; Fin, Toes and Maddie just looked back at their lockers.
"Would I be able to?" Maddie said.
"Yeah, Fin, are they going to agree to it?" Toes asked.
"Only one way to find out, here's the outfit, go shower up and I will go work it out." Fin said winking at her friend. Fin walked out of the room and ran into Gregory.
"Hey Fin, Toes in there?" Gregory asked.
"Yeah, let me get her," Fin said opening the door again and yelled in there, "Toes, your lover boy is here." Fin closed the door smiling at him and walked down the hallway to find Shane talking to a tech guy.
Their Point of View-
"One minute, I have business to discuss with her." Shane said pointing at Fin.
"You have business as well, so do I." Fin said.
"Yeah, Mix-Tag-Match tonight, your team is winning, not theirs." Shane said speaking before Fin was able to talk first.
"That's great and everything, about Matt's match." Fin said.
"What about it?" Shane asked rubbing his hands together.
"Would it be okay if Maddie escorted him? She has been training very well, Shawn trained her today. She has been working really hard and escorting him would be the world to her. She is even looking at auditioning to be a Diva, and escorting him would give a little taste of it." Fin said trying to convince him.
"Just this once, she wouldn't be able to do it again until after her auditions." Shane said.
"Deal." Fin said shaking his hand and smiled.
"About that dinner, how about in Vegas, you cook me something?" Shane asked smiling.
"I will think about it, depends on what you have in mind for me to cook." Fin said.
"Spaghetti, good with you?" Shane asked.
"Yeah, if you don't mind if Shannon's there." Fin said sticking her hands in her butt pocket.
"No problem, he is your boyfriend, as long as I get one night with you." Shane said excitedly.
"Fine, I will cook Spaghetti one night for you, or will a cook-out for everyone." Fin said winking and walked away to find Matt who just walked out of the locker room.
"Fin, shouldn't you be getting ready?" Matt asked walking up to her.
"Yeah, just got to do the hair and make-up." Fin said pointing at her face.
"Your hair is fine, and so is your make-up, but why you wondering around the halls?" Matt asked.
"Warming up and stretching a little, besides that. Good news for you." Fin said smiling at what she was going to tell him.
"What's that?" Matt said nervously.
"Maddie is escorting you to the ring tonight." Fin said happily.
"Say what? How'd you get that to happen?" Matt asked.
"Pulled strings with Shane." Fin said hugging him.
"Thanks Fin, I will walk you back to the women's locker room." Matt said as he escorted her to the room where Maddie was waiting outside for them.
"Hey, Toes already left with Gregory to go stretch and warm up some." Maddie said as they approached them.
"Okay, they are probably relaxing in that relaxing area watching the first match or listening to Lilian sing the National Anthem." Matt said.
"Yeah, her match is after yours." Fin said as Maria walked out smiling and went down a hallway.
"Yeah, yours is last right?" Matt asked.
"Yep, and singing after that." Fin said nodding.
"We will be watching." Maddie said smiling.
"I know, I know." Fin said as she walked into the locker room leaving those two to go warm up and see what's going on.
