Disclaimer: I only own Manny. WWE is owned by Vince McMahon, TNA is owned by someone who isn't me, lol.
Chapter Five:
Saturday Afternoon:
"So, Manuela you've done it."
Manuela's eyes widened. "I did what?"
Dixie Carter smiled at Manuela. "You, my friend, have got us a deal with Spike TV."
"We already have a deal with Spike."
"A live deal. Starting next Thursday, we're going live."
Manny squealed. "Oh my Gosh…are you serious? LIVE?"
Dixie nodded. "I just found out, contract signing for it is on Tuesday, and you know Monday we'll tape TNA that will air on Thursday, and tell the fans then. But, the superstars will be told tomorrow."
"I'm the first to know?"
Dixie nodded again. "Yeah, you are. It's because of you we have this opportunity."
"No, Dix. We would've gone live soon enough, the superstars work their asses off, just like Knockouts."
"Speaking of the Knockouts, word around is that you aren't answering any of the Knockouts phone calls."
"Yeah, I haven't been."
"And why not? They're your friends, they'll support you."
"But they'll still judge me."
"They aren't like that."
"Everyone else in the world is, they wont judge me for drinking or for having sex. They'll judge me for that person being Randy. It could've been anyone besides WWE wrestlers and it would've been okay to them."
"You shouldn't care what other people think." Dixie placed a hand on Manny's shoulder.
"But I do. It's a flaw, I know."
"You're beautiful, Manuela. You know that, everyone knows that. I know that."
Manny nodded. Not thinking anything of what was said. Manny looked down at her lap than to Dixie.
"I should go."
"Okay, I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow."
"I may be late; I have church…with Grandma and Grandpa."
"Your grandparents?"
Manuela stood up. "They found out what happened and decided I was to go with them to Church, as if I was five again."
Dixie didn't say anything.
"Bye." Manny said before she left through the door.

'Knockout sleepover. My house at 8. Manny you better come or I'll kick your ass – First Ever Knockout Champ' Manny laughed at her text message that Gail sent her. Manny placed her McDonald's tray onto the table and sat down. She sighed as she dripped her french fry into the ketchup.
Across the room a WWE Diva glared. She was sitting with her friends, fellow divas, as they noticed Manny.
"I say once she's done, we show her how us divas get down." One of the divas, Beth Phoenix, suggested.
The girls agreed.
Manny noticed from the corner of her eye that the WWE Divas were watching her.
"Jealous bimbos." She muttered before pulling out her cell phone and dialing Gail's number.
"Hey, you get my text?"
"Yeah, and I'm so game. But I'll have to bring my church clothes and leave early in the morning."
"No problem, as long as you show. We have questions for you."
"I know, I know. It's about time I own up to that."
"Yeah."
"I need your help."
"With what?"
"I'm at McDonalds on South Orange Ave. There are divas here and they're eying me, I can see it out the corner of my eye. I think something's up, call some Knockouts and give me back up?"
"Yeah, well be there in about twenty. Can you stay in your place until then? I'll text you when we get there and you can leave."
"Alright, but don't be noticeable, if they know you're here they won't do anything."
"Alright, I got you."
"Bye, chica."
"Bye." Manny hung up her phone and looked down to her food, nervousness setting in.
Manny slowly finished her food and as soon as she did, her phone buzzed. She looked down and picked it up; it was a text from Gail. 'We're outside – First Ever Knockout Champ'.
Manny stood up and placed her cell phone into her pocket before dumping her tray and leaving the establishment.
She felt people following her as she walked in the middle of the parking lot, heading towards her car.
Manny felt something hit the back of her head, and heard it fall to the ground, she turned around to see Ashley Massaro, Melina, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Maria, Jillian Candice Michelle and Katie Lea. She frowned as she walked closer to them, and noticed a few rocks fall out of Candice's hands.
"What do you want? You know stalking is a crime right?"
"I wouldn't call it stalking."
"You want to fight me, right? That's why you were looking at me in McDonalds."
Ashley nodded. "We're going to take you out, right here."
"All of you?"
"Of course."
"Doesn't seem fair, but I figured this was coming. So, I got back up."
"I don't see anyone."
"Gail!" Manny's voice called tauntingly.
Gail Kim stepped out of her car, along with Christy Hemme, Jessica Kresa (ODB), and Valerie Wyndham (SoCal Val). Jamie Szantyr (Velvet Sky), Angel Williams (Angelina Love), Jackie, and Nicole Raczynski (Roxxi Laveaux) stepped out of Jamie's car.
The women wrestlers all held their ground as they stood in front of each other.
"I don't think you're going to do anything to Manny." Gail spoke.
"It'd be foolish." Jackie agreed and the TNA women nodded.
Ashley glared, before taking the first shot, right to Manny's jaw. Manny held her jaw briefly before spearing Ashley to the ground and punching her in the face. All the other women fought each other. It wasn't wrestling; no it was a straight up brawl, a fight.
"HEY! HEY!" The women all heard someone call but they paid them no mind, just kept focusing on causing pain to the one they were fighting. The Knockouts and divas were pulled apart, two by two.
"Oh…shit." Manny muttered to herself as she and her fellow Knockouts stared at the police who had pull them apart.
"Get out of here!" one of the officers told the Knockouts, and they went to the cars they came in, Manny to her own car.
"I'll meet you at your house after I stop by my place."
"Alright."
Manny got into her car and placed her hand on her jaw. "Fuck!" she closed her eyes and slammed her hand on the steering wheel. She put her key in the ignition and then drove out of the parking lot.
----
The police waited five minutes after the Knockouts left to let the divas go. "If I catch you again there will be consequences for both parties. Understood?"
The divas nodded.
"I think you should really get checked out. Especially your hand, it looks swollen." He told Beth.
Beth looked to her hand, it was swollen, she smiled at the thought, she had punched ODB right in the eye. She wondered if the eye she had hit was black. She hoped it was, oh how she hoped.
----
Manny arrived at Gail's house and parked in the drive way, right behind Jamie's car. She left her church clothes in her car before grabbing her sports bag and getting out of her car. She went to Gail's front door and knocked.
Gail opened the door, "Oh shit, your jaw…" Gail remarked.
"Yeah, I know."
Gail moved out the way and Manny walked in.
"The other girls and I are trying to fix our wounds in my room."
"Good, because this shit hurts like a bitch." Manny said as she led the way to Gail's room. Once in Gail's room she placed her bag by the door.
"Damn." Manny replied as she notice Jessica's black eye.
"Damn yourself." Jessica said as she threw an ice pack to Manny. Manny caught it.
"My jaw, I know. I got fucked up by that piece of trash." Manny put the ice pack on her jaw as she sat down next to Jamie and Angel on the bed. Her cell phone rang. She put her hand into her pocket and groaned. "It's AJ."
"Answer it," Nicole told her.
Manny shrugged and answered the phone, putting down her ice pack. "Hello?"
"Manny, can't you stay out of trouble for one second? That's all I ask of you."
"Excuse me?"
"Turn it on ESPN, or hell the news."
"Hey, put it on ESPN."
Gail took the remote and changed the channel.
"In other news, the war going on between TNA and WWE is heating up. Earlier today, nearly thirty minutes ago, a video had been released of something that happened not even hours ago. A brawl between the WWE divas and TNA Knockouts. And it wasn't in the ring and not to be considered wrestling. It was in front of McDonalds, and the security cameras caught it all."
"How classy." Said the man's female co-worker as she chuckled while shaking her head. "If you take a close look at the tape, you can see WWE Diva Candice Michelle throwing rock at Manuela Jones. Hasn't the poor girl suffered enough? Then Manuela apparently had back up, and that's then you see WWE Diva Ashley punching the Knockout right in the jaw."
"This feud has gotten personal, and it's only moments before both companies fire back against each other during their actual show."
"Yes, Cole. Not to mention there's been a rumor going around that TNA is going live pretty soon."
"TNA's going live? What the hell, that's not true." Gail replied.
Manny wondered if she should speak up. "AJ, listen I have to go. Can we talk about this after Church tomorrow? I'm at Gail's, sleep over."
"I want to know what happened." AJ spoke. "Are you okay?"
"Fine, fine…just a bruised and sorta swollen jaw, no big."
"No big? Manny, tha---." Manny rolled her eyes before hanging up on her brother.
"TNA's going live, Dixie told me today." Manny told her friends.
Gail eye's widened. "Seriously?"
She nodded. "Yeah, she's going to tell y'all at the meeting."
"I can't wait!" Jessica replied excitedly.
"I know." Manny placed the ice pack back on her jaw.
"So, Manny. We want to know about the whole Randy thing. From your POV, I mean we read some stuff online, but we haven't really heard about it from you. Which is the only person we care about hearing it from."
Manny nodded before telling her story.

A/n: Wow, outside of McDonalds? Dang, guess Ashley got a good shot in, blah. Wonder what's going to happen next. I was gonna put Randy in this chapter, but he'll come in next chapter. Sorry for the long wait, had a bit of writer's block.
