A/N: I only own Marley and Jess Allen. blahblahblah. I'm sorry this has taken forever. I had this written out a few days ago but it didn't save when I typed it out on here and I had to rewrite everything, which is annoying and I couldn't remember exactly what I had written and yeah. So this chaptsr probably sucks, but I already have the majority of the next chapter written so it should be up pretty soon after this one.


Smackdown tapings were done for the week and everyone was getting ready to leave the arena. It had been a stressful few days for everyone and they were all looking forward to a couple of days off. Renee and Marley said their goodbyes to the superstars and divas that they passed by on the way to pack up their own things.

"So, are you actually coming out with us tonight?" Renee asked as they were packing up their things for the night.

"Yeah. My sister wants to try to hook up with someone and I promised I'd buy her drinks tonight." They walked and talked as they made their way down the hallway towards the exit.

"I think this will be good for you. You'll have fun." Renee declared. Ever since Marley had gotten this internship, she had been all work and no play. She was honestly surprised that the girl was even coming out tonight. She'd have to thank her sister later.

Marley shrugged. "Maybe." It's not that Marley didn't like to go out and have fun, it's just that she wasn't in the mood for it tonight. Maybe that would change after she got some alcohol in her.

"You told your sister who was off-limits, right?"

"She reads dirtsheets, so she kinda knows who is with who. I just told her that she better not go after anyone who is married." The exited the building and continued talking as they made their way over to Renee's rental car.

"Don't go after anyone who is married or anyone who is John Cena." Marley laughed.

"Trust me, if he was single, she'd be all up on that. She loves Cena but she won't try anything because she's scared of Nikki." They reached Renee's rental car, and she was soon packing her things into the trunk of her car.

"What are you gonna do if she brings a guy back to your room?" She questioned as she casually leaned against her car.

"Oh, I gave her strict rules and one of them was that she wasn't allowed to bring anyone back to my room. If she wants to hookup with a dude, they're going to his room. I have an early morning tomorrow."

"Oh yeah?"

Marley nodded. "Yeah. I've got a meeting with Steph tomorrow, so I"ve gotta be in Stamford by lunch time."

"Yeesh. Any idea what she wants to talk to you about?" Renee was curious. She had a meeting with Steph tomorrow as well and she wondered if their meetings had to do with the same thing.

"I have no idea actually. I'm really nervous about it." Nervous was an understatement. She was terrified. Sure, she had one on one meetings with Stephanie before, but something about having to fly to Stamford for this meeting made her more and more nervous.

"Eh, I'm sure it's nothing." Renee shrugged, slamming the trunk of the car down.

"I hope so. Maybe it's just a meeting to check in and see how I'm doing and stuff."

"Probably. You've been doing great, so I wouldn't worry about it." Renee walked over to the driver side of car and got in. She rolled the window down so the girls could still talk. "I'll see you in a little bit?"

"Yeah. We'll probably head to hotel first since I'm sure my sister will want to change and then we'll be on our way."

"Don't take too long or you'll miss all the fun!"

"We won't!" She called out as she made her way to her own car. She saw Renee stick her hand out the window and wave as she pulled out of the parking lot.

#############

When they got to the hotel, Jess practically threw Marley into one of her super tight dresses. It was a little black number that had long lace sleeves and it came down just about the middle of her thigh. She didn't hate the dress and it's not far from what she would normally wear out, but she just didn't want to show too much in front of her coworkers. She didn't even think she should be mingling with any of the people, but she had already told Renee that they were coming out and maybe it would do her a little good to get out and socialize.

After Marley got dressed, Jess also insisted that she do her sister's hair and makeup, which she reluctantly agreed to. She sat there as her sister curled and teased her hair until it wouldn't tease and curl anymore.

Jess applied way more makeup than Marley would ever wear, but she had to admit, it didn't look half bad. Her sister had applied a nice dark red lipstick to her lips and she perfected the smokey eye look, something Marley just couldn't get. Jess topped off the look with some mascara that made her eyelashes look longer and fuller.

"Daaaaamn girl. You look hot! I should drop out of college and become a makeup artist."

Marley rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty sure you can actually go to school for that." She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. After it was all said and done, she did look good but she didn't look like herself. "You realize you now have like 10 minutes to get ready, right? You spent way too much time doing all of this for me. Especially since I didn't ask for it."

"Please, I don't have to doll myself up like that. Confidence is key, my good sister." Jess announced as she changed out of her outfit and into a tight-fitting red dress.

"Yeah okay. If I don't have confidence, I think I might be in the wrong business." She slipped into her heels that would be most likely coming off as soon as they got seated at the club.

"I'm just saying. You need all the help you can get." Marley glared at her sister. "I'm kidding! You need to lighten up. I just figured it might help you meet a guy or something. You're too wound up and I think if we got you laid, you'd be much happier." Jess sat on the bed, strapping up her own pair of heels.

Marley rolled her eyes. "I'm not having this conversation with you. Can we just go already?" The girls grabbed their things and made their way down to the rental car.

#############

When the duo finally reached the club, they were immediately met with a somewhat tipsy Renee.

"Marley! You're here!" She yelled over the music. "You must be the sister. I'm Renee." She turned to Jess and hugged her like she had known her forever.

"You're really friendly when you've been drinking, aren't you?" Jess asked her. Renee pulled away from the hug and just shrugged.

"C'mon. I want you to meet some people." She grabbed both if the girls' arms and dragged them towards a table.

They reached a table that was full of familiar faces. "Guys! I have someone I want you to meet." The men focused their attention on the three women in front of them. "This is Marley. She's the new intern that's been shadowing me for the past month." Renee motioned toward the girl. "Marley, this is Cody Rhodes, Wade Barrett, Heath Slater, and Dolph Ziggler."

"Hi. It's nice to finally meet you guys. And Dolph, it's nice to see you again." Dolph nodded and smiled at the girl. "And this is my sister, Jess. She's just visiting me for the day." Jess gave the men a flirtatious smile, which just made Marley roll her eyes.

"Why don't you girls sit down and join us for a little bit? Let us get to know our new coworker a little better." Cody suggested.

"Sure." Marley took a seat on the end next to Dolph, while Jess squeezed her way in-between Cody and Wade. It was decided that before they started playing 20 questions with the girl, that they needed shots. Since Marley was sitting at the end on the booth, she volunteered herself to go get the shots.

She was headed towards the bar when she ran smack dab into a hard chest. "Shit." She looked up to see the friendly face of Seth Rollins. "Oh thank god."

"Hey, intern. I'm surprised that you actually came out tonight."

"There's a first time for everything, I guess." They reached the bar and Marley ordered the shots for the table.

"So, you having fun yet?" He asked as he ordered himself another beer.

"I don't know yet. I just got here like ten minutes ago and then I volunteered for shot duty." The shots were placed in front of her on a tray. She went to dig out a couple of bills to pay for the shots when Seth's hand shot out to stop her.

"I got this. Don't worry."

Marley shook her head. "I can't let you do that."

Seth told the bartender to put the shots on his tab. "It's your first night out since you got here. Let me do something nice for a friend."

She didn't want to argue with him about it, because "Hey, it's free drinks.". "Fine. But let me buy you a drink later to make it even."

Seth nodded his head. "I'll hold you to that. Come find us when you're done hanging out with those guys and we'll introduce you to more people."

"Will do." She grabbed her tray of shots and made her way back to the table.

"Shots for everyone!" She exclaimed and the guys cheered.

#############

A few drinks and several shots later, Marley was feeling it.

When she was finished playing twenty questions with the boys, Renee was back to dragging her around the club. Renee introduced her to a few of the divas, including Summer Rae, Alicia Fox and Nikki Bella. She hit it off with Nikki rather quickly and they made plans to go shopping together the next week.

The alcohol made her very talkative and friendly, which surprised a lot of people. Usually when they saw her wandering around backstage, she was quiet and kept to herself. This night showed everyone a different side of Marley and everyone loved it. It was nice to see her get out if her shell. This night seemed to be exactly what she needed.

Jess was also on the buzzed side, but she wasn't as far gone as Marley was.

"Okay, girls. We have a few more people to meet and that'll be all for the night." She grabbed their arms ans drug them over to the table where The Shield were sitting. Marley immediately sat down next to Seth. Roman and Dean greeted the ladies.

"Hey buddy! Thanks for the shots earlier."

He chuckled. "No problem, pal."

"Oh, so you guys already know each other?" Renee asked as she took a seat as well.

Marley nodded. "Seth is my best friend. Besides Nikki" She reached over and gave him a side hug.

"That's right. We're best friends now." He placed his arm around her shoulders.

Jess spotted Randy Orton at the bar and she was determined to hit that. "Hey Renee? Do you think you can introduce me to that beautiful man?" Renee turned her head towards the bar.

"Randy? Oh yeah. You look like you're just his type. C'mon" Renee got up from her seat and headed towards the bar.

Jess stopped in her tracks and turned back towards Seth. "Hey, do you guys think you can get her back to her room safely? I don't want anything to happen to her while she's like this."

Seth nodded. "I won't let anything happen to her. I swear." Jess thanked him and followed behind Renee

"Roman! You have such pretty hair. Will you let me braid it?" Marley asked.

Roman, who was sitting across the table from her, chuckled. "How much have you had to drink tonight?"

"Uh... A lot."

Roman just shook his head at the girl. Dean, who was sitting across from Seth, was unamused at the girl. He just wanted to have a guys night with his friends and Renew had just dropped her off with them. They weren't babysitters.

A few more drinks later, and Marley was gone. Seth had excused himself a little while ago so he could take this phone call from his girfriend. Roman told him to take the call and that he would make sure Marley got back to her room safely.

"Alright, babygirl. We're cutting you off."

"Noooooo" She pouted.

"That's not going to work on me. C'mon." He stood up from his chair and offered his hand for her.

She huffed. "Fine." She grabbed her bag and took Roman's hand.


A/N: yeah so I said I was going to skip ahead time wise after this chapter, but I already have the next one written and the outlines for a few more a chapters. So the time jump will be a little delayed. Also, it's obvious that this happened before the shield split, but the time jump will after they've split. We'll basically be in present time soon, which is good for me because somethings that I already had outlined work well with somethings that have happened. So yeah! Thanks for reading!
