Thanks to the two awesome authors that've been reviewing and reading my story so far. I know I thanked you both last chapter, but I just wanted to say thanks again to Foldintothenight and fuckyeahvodkaandchocolates. =) This chapter may seem kinda long, but it's gonna help set up for events later in the story.
Stepping through the doors in front of her, Alex was immediately shocked at the sheer size of the office Vince was going to be using for the week. 'Damn! This office is bigger than me and Jeff's art studio.' Alex thought to herself. She took the time to look around at the framed pictures that were on the walls when she saw one of her doing a moonsault to the Miz. 'Ha. I really beat Mikey in that match.' Alex thought, grinning. She was snapped out of her look-around of the room by Vince coming behind her and tapping her on the shoulder.
"Good morning Alexis." Vince said.
"Good morning to you too, Mr. McMahon." Alex said, a little breathlessly.
"I take it that you already met up with Stephanie before you made it here. If you would just come with me, I can take you to where April and Celeste are waiting for you." Vince said, gesturing behind him.
"OK." Alex said nervously.
The pair left Mr. McMahon's office and headed down the hall. The whole time they walked on in silence, Alex immediately started to feel sick. She just kept thinking about what was going to happen once she came face-to-face with her new charges. 'I've never mentored anybody before. The closest thing to something like this was teaching Ruby her ABC's. I seriously doubt that doing this is like helping a toddler learn her alphabets. Maybe I could just turn and run right now. It's not like Vince will even no-'
"Alexis, sweetheart. Are you feeling fine?" Vince asked, seeing as how Alex had stopped some distance away from him.
"Huh? Yeah. It's just, I'm so nervous about doing this. I already have problems with most of the roster. I know these two girls don't even know me, but what if they don't like me when I see them?" Alex asked.
"Well, if that happens, then I could always assign another Diva or Superstar to mentor them. But I seriously doubt that they'll hate you. When I told them you were going to mentor them, they wanted to start right then and there. So the way I see things, as long as you just be yourself, they'll like you just fine." Vince said smiling before he did something Alex hadn't expected: he hugged her.
Alex hadn't been expecting her boss, Vince McMahon, the man who was known for firing people, to actually want to hug her. She always had a feeling that he didn't like her as much as he liked Matt and Jeff. But the fact that he was hugging her now meant that he was supporting her mentoring these two Divas. It finally sunk in to Alex that she could do this. Whether or not these two Divas would like her, she was going to go through with mentoring them. As soon as Vince pulled away, they continued the rest of the way they were headed before they finally reached the room that AJ and Kaitlyn were in.
"Here's the room. When I left them, they were just talking to each other, so they shouldn't be so busy." Vince said, knocking on the door.
"Come in." said a voice from inside the room.
"Good luck Alexis." Vince said as he opened the door and he and Alex walked inside.
As soon as Alex walked in behind Vince, her eyes were immediately drawn to the two women in the room. One of the girls had slightly tanned skin, long brunette hair, and was wearing glasses. She was wearing a t-shirt that had a big picture of a Pikachu on it, a pair of skinny jeans, and a pair of high-top Converse shoes. The other girl was white, had hair that was blonde with black dyed into it, and was taller than the first girl. She was wearing a black t-shirt with several silver hearts as a design, a pair of skinny jeans, and a pair of boots. 'Oh fuck! They're both hot!' Alex thought as she felt a slight blush creep onto her face.
"April, Celeste, this is Alexis Hardy. Alexis, these are the two Divas you're going to be mentoring for the next few weeks." Vince said, introducing the three girls.
At first, neither one of the three girls said anything. All they did was stare at each other. Then Alex cleared her throat and extended her hand.
"Like Mr. McMahon said, I'm Alexis. But I guess if you want, you both can call me Alex." Alex said, blushing slightly. 'Stay calm Lexi. Resist every temptation you have to make out with the both of them right now.' Alex thought.
After what seemed like an eternity, April and Celeste each took one of Alex's hands and shook them vigorously.
"Ohmygod! I so can't believe this is happening right now! I thought it was just some joke that Mr. McMahon said you were gonna mentor us, but you're really hear with us!" AJ and Kaitlyn said at the same time, jumping up and down in place.
Hearing them say this instantly made Alex blush. 'Wait a minute! They were genuinely excited to meet me? Fuuucckkkk! I knew I should've just listened to what everyone was telling me. I'm such a dumbass!' Alex thought.
Alex laughed, but then she remembered that they seemed way too excited. "Wait. If you two don't mind me asking, why were you both so excited to meet me? Usually people are only this excited if they get the chance to meet John Cena or CM Punk or, hell, even Santino. What makes me so special to you two?"
"Well, for one thing, you're not a typical Diva like us, so that made us like you." AJ said smiling.
"Second, you have a kick-ass style choice. I mean, the fact that you wear muscle shirts and cargos makes you awesome. To me at least." Kaitlyn said smiling.
"And the big thing-" AJ said.
"That makes you awesome is-" Kaitlyn said.
"The fact that you're a geek like we are!" AJ and Kaitlyn said excitedly.
"Really? Usually people think my geekiness is something that I should hide. At least that's what most of the roster tells me." Alex said smiling and blushing.
"Well you must be talking to some really assholes if they tell you that." Kaitlyn said.
"Totally. I mean it's one thing to be a real deal geek who can do something like name all of the first 150 Pokemon. It's another to claim to be one just because it's the 'in' thing to do." AJ said.
Laughing at the two Divas in front of her, Alex started to think that maybe being with the two of them won't be so bad. "Oh, before I forget, I have to tell you two that I have to travel with you. So I guess we're gonna be roomies for a while." Alex said, mentally hoping they wouldn't say no.
"Sure thing. We get to spend loads of time with one of the coolest people on the roster today inside and outside of the ring. This is gonna be awesome." AJ said excitedly, bouncing in place.
"Yeah. I mean we won't have any problem with you traveling with us. As long as you aren't a neat freak." Kaitlyn said smiling.
"OK." Alex said, smiling back. Things actually went the opposite of how Alex had anticipated. She was actually starting to like AJ and Kaitlyn.
After talking for a few more hours, the trio decided to head to the locker room so Alex could put her bag there and get ready for the tapings of RAW tonight. The whole time she was getting ready, AJ and Kaitlyn were talking excitedly about actually being backstage.
"So Alex, who do you have to wrestle tonight?" AJ asked.
"Umm… If I remember right, I have to compete against David Otunga. Ughh….Fuck me! I don't want to go out against him. He brags about his Harvard education too much." Alex moaned.
"Otunga? Isn't he the guy that wears bow ties and sucks up to Laurinaitis?" AJ asked, a little confused.
"Yep. And now I get to go up against him. You guys'll be cool waiting here for me to go out there and fight him?" Alex asked.
"Actually, we wanted to go down to the ring and watch you. It's one thing to see you compete on TV and in old videos. But it's another to actually see you up close and personal." Kaitlyn said.
After a moment of thought, Alex decided to let them go out with her to watch her compete. As they went to the gorilla position to head out first, the tech guys started to play 'Holy Diver'. Once they got there, Alex, AJ, and Kaitlyn soon made their way down to the ring. The whole time they were headed down, AJ and Kaitlyn were wishing Alex good luck. As soon as Alex did her own special entrance and Otunga came down, the timekeeper rang the bell to begin the match. After five minutes, Alex laid Otunga out for her finisher. She climbed the turnbuckle, did the Swanton Bomb, and pinned Otunga for the win.
Once the match was over and the trio of new friends were celebrating in before leaving the ring, the start of 'I Came to Play' sounded through the arena as the Miz made his way down to the ring, microphone in hand.
"Oh. Isn't this sweet? The resident psycho of the WWE finally made some other friends that are the same gender she is." Miz said mockingly.
"Oh look everybody. It's the most un-see champion in WWE's history." Alex said into her own microphone, earning a chorus of laughs from lots of people in the arena.
"You're just jealous because I've actually held a major title unlike you." Miz said.
"Give me time Mikey and I'll be a world champ before you and the rest of my haters know it." Alex said.
"OK. I'll give you time. How does the first day in 20 years sound?" Miz asked laughing.
"Sounds good to me. Because by then, I'll have held either one of the world titles five times by then." Alex said smirking.
"You must think you're so great don't you? Well how about you fight me next week?" Miz asked.
"Challenge accepted. But you might want to consider training instead of staring at yourself until then." Alex said, dropping the microphone and leaving with AJ and Kaitlyn in tow.
When the trio finally made their way backstage and back to Alex's locker room, AJ was the first to say something about what just happened.
"OK. That was so awesome Alex. Totally beats watching you on TV." AJ said.
"Thanks. I hate having to deal with Mikey all the time though. Really grinds my gears." Alex said.
"Well, don't worry. Next week, you're gonna have me and AJ to back you up in case he tries to cheat." Kaitlyn said.
"Thanks. Now let's head to the hotel. I'm getting hungry and I seriously doubt if they'll be needing us." Alex said.
As the trio left, they were unaware of the fact that Miz and Otunga were watching them.
"That Hardy runt is really getting on my last nerve. Something has to be done about her." Otunga said angrily.
"I feel the same way, but what can we do? She's beaten the both of us before." Miz said. After saying that, the Miz was struck by an idea. Turning to Otunga, he asked, "David, how would like to work with me to take down Alex?"
Looks like Alex is really liking AJ and Kaitlyn. Now all she's hoping for is that they can actually wrestle. But uh oh...Looks like the Miz and David Otunga have something in mind to get Alex. But what can it be? Stay tuned for Chapter 4. =)
