A/N: I don't know anything but Marley. blahhhhhhhhhblaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhblaaaaaaah

I'm going to be totally honest here. I didn't proofread this chapter as well as I should have. I mainly just checked for spelling and not grammar, so I apologize if there are errors in this.


Marley slid her sunglasses over her eyes as she stepped out of the airport. The sun was unnecessarily bright today and she felt like her head might explode. She had her rental car keys in hand and she was ready to go.

Other than the sun that just wouldn't get out if Marley's face, the weather in Hartford was nice. Or at least it was today.

Marley loaded her things into the rental car and her journey to Stamford began. According to the GPS on her phone, she would be in Stamford in about 20 minutes, which meant she would get there just in time for her meeting.

She fiddled with the radio, trying to find something good to listen to, but she came up short. She ended up settling on a station that played Top 40 that was currently playing a Justin Timberlake song. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel along to the beat.

Twenty five minutes later, she arrived at WWE Headquarters.

She entered the building and once she showed the receptionist her ID, she instructed her where to go.

She reached the fourth floor of the building, where Stephanie's office was and checked in with her assistant. She sat down in the waiting area and waited to be called back.

"Mrs. McMahon will see you now." Her assistant informed her.

She thanked her and made her way to Stephanie's office. When she reached the door, she knocked. "Come in."

Marley entered the room and Stephanie stood up from her seat. "Hi Marley. It's good to see you." They reached out and shook each other's hands.

"It's good to see you too, Mrs. McMahon."

"Please, Have a seat and call me Stephanie." She motioned to the chair that sat on the other side of her desk as she sat down in her own chair. Marley took her seat.

"So, I'm sure you're wondering why I called you in for this meeting." Marley nodded.

"We're very pleased with the work you've been doing backstage. We know you haven't been able to do much, but I've seen you around backstage and I know you've been shadowing Renee and helping her out when she needs it."

"We haven't discussed this with Renee yet, but we're going to be moving her up in a few months. She's going to be taking a little more responsibility that we know she can handle. She's going to be doing the pre-shows for the pay per views and we're letting her do the commentary for Superstars with Tom. This means we're going to move Byron up to do the Raw pre-shows with Booker and Alex."

"Okay... What does this have to do with me?" Marley questioned.

"Well," Steph grinned. "We want you to replace Byron on the App, since he'll be here doing the pre-shows. And we want you to do the interviews for the pre-shows that Renee would normally do."

"Wait. Are you guys offering me an actual job?"

Steph nodded. "We are. Everyone we talked to had spoken very highly of you and I know you have the personality for this. I think you'd be a great addition to the team."

Marley was speechless. When she showed up today, she expected that they were going to end her internship and she'd have to go back home. Being offered an actual job after being here for a month seemed crazy. Maybe they were just desperate. Even if that was the case, she didn't care. This is exactly what she wanted and exactly where she wanted to be.

"Wow." That was the only world she could get out of her mouth.

"So, what do you say? Do you want to work for us?" Steph asked.

"I think it'd be stupid for me not to accept this offer. So yeah, of course."

"Great! Now, I'm going to need you to keep this in the down low, okay? We haven't told Renee or Byron yet." Steph explained.

Marley nodded. "I got it. My lips are sealed."

"There is one thing though... We are going to send you down to NXT on your days off. That way you can start practicing and getting used to being in front if the camera. We're going to let the NXT Universe get to know you a little bit before we throw you to the wolves." She winked.

"That sounds good. I've heard nothing but good things about NXT. When do you want me to go down there?"

"I figured we'd let you have the rest of this week off and we'd send you down there next week. We'll have a contract ready for you when you get to the arena on Monday."

"Thank you so much, Stephanie. You won't be disappointed." She assured her.

"I hope not. I like you, Marley and I think you have a bright future here."

The two women said their goodbyes and as Marley left, she couldn't wipe the smile off her face.

########

Monday finally rolled around and Marley couldn't wait to get to the arena. As soon as she could get there and meet with Steph again, the closer she'd be to her dream.

The first thing she did when she got to the arena was find Stephanie's office. They talked for a few minutes with Hunter about her new position, and before she knew it, she was signing her name on the dotted line of a WWE contract.

She hadn't talked to any of her friends over the weekend. As soon as she got home from Stamford, she passed out for twelve hours. Traveling really tires you out. She spent the rest of her week relaxing. She even treated herself to a mani/pedi.

She had made plans to hang out and go shopping with Nikki this week, and since the girls hadn't talked all weekend, she wanted to find her now. She hoped that she didn't have to run around the arena looking for it, and hoped that she would find her at her second stop of the night, Catering.

Luckily, when she reached catering, she found that it was somewhat empty except for Nattie and The Bellas.

"Marley!" Nikki called out and waved her over.

Marley walked over to where Nikki was sitting down with her sister.

"Oh Brie, this is Marley. The girl I was telling you about."

"OH! You're the new intern right?"

Marley nodded. "That would be me. I don't know when I got so popular around here, though."

Brie laughed. "Word travels fast around here. Anyway, it's nice to finally meet you. Why don't you sit down with us?"

"Sure. Just let me get something to drink." Marley went to grab a bottle of water from the cooler. When she turned back around, she noticed that Dean was standing right next to their table.

"Ambrose, you look great." Nattie spoke as she sat down next to Brie.

"Thank you." He was standing next to their table, eating a piece of chicken that was on his plate.

Marley took a seat next to Nikki and tried to avoid eye contact with Dean. She started picking at the label that was on her water bottle and found that it was more interesting than the conversation that was going on. She felt awkward being around him since she slept in his bed the other night. She had no reason to, they didn't do anything but she was just embarrassed. She had planned on avoiding him for the rest of her life, but apparently the universe had other plans tonight.

"You look like you've leaned out." She commented.

"You were totally checking him out!" Brie called her out and Nattie just shrugged and laughed.

Dean shook his head and tossed his paper plate in the trash. "I'll see you ladies later." As he was walking out of catering, Marley let out the breath she had been holding in that she hoped went unnoticed.

"Oh Nat, this is Marley. She's the new intern."

Nattie wiped her hands off on her napkin and stuck out her hand. "Oh! It's nice to meet you!" Marley reached out and shook her hand.

"Likewise." Marley smiled at the blonde.

"Are you enjoying yourself back here?" Brie asked.

"Yeah, I am. Renee has been very helpful. And I've met some cool people backstage." She explained. "It's been pretty fun so far."

"Oh, you're working with Renee?" Marley nodded. "Just don't tell her about me "flirting" with Ambrose."

"Wait, why does it matter?" She was confused. Why would Renee care about Nattie flirting with Dean?

"You don't know?" She shook her head. "They're like friends with benefits or whatever. She has an arrangement with a few of the guys, actually." Nikki stated while Brie nodded in agreement.

"But Nattie's married. Why would she freak out about that?"

"She's very ...territorial. I mean, obviously we have nothing to worry about, because if she gets out of hand, I could break her in half." Marley was certain that Nattie could break Renee in half and probably not even break a sweat while doing it.

"That seems a little crazy." Marley had considered telling Renee about how her night ended, since they haven't talked since they went their separate ways that night, but the way Nattie and Bellas were speaking, it made her reconsider that. If she freaked out about a married woman complimenting Dean, there's no telling what she might do if she found out that they slept in the same bed, even though nothing happened between the two.

"It is, but it's not an uncommon thing around here. Girls get possessive over their boy toys when they have no right to. If they haven't agreed to be exclusive, then it's fair game. None of them should be surprised that everyone is hooking up with everyone." Brie explained.

"Well, I have nothing to worry about then. I didn't come here to hook up with anyone." The girls laughed.

"Oh Marley. That's what they all say, but it'll happen eventually. Trust us. We're all with guys in the company. Although, does Nattie really count since she and TJ have been together since they went through puberty?" Nattie playfully smacked Nikki on the arm and they laughed.

"Just stick with us and you'll be fine. We'll keep you out of trouble." Nattie assured her. Marley didn't believe that for a second. They would probably get her into more trouble than she could handle, but she had two new friends and the more allies she had backstage, the better.

"Buuuuut, if you're looking to hookup with any of these guys, we'd can totally help you with that." Nikki stated with a huge grin on her face.


A/N: Thank you soooooooooooo much to those of you who reviewed the last chapter and hello to you new followers and favoriters. I'm glad to have you along for the ride!

I know I mentioned something about a time jump, and it's going to happen, I'm just not sure when yet. I do wanna write about her being down at NXT for a little bit, because I have some ideas for that.

I'm also going to probably be using some scenes from Total Divas, like the one I used in this chapter. So yeah, there's that.

Also, I thought about posting polyvore outfits on my profile for each chapter for Marley's outfits. Is that something you guys would be interested in seeing or nah? Let me know!
