Three weeks later, Jim Cornette was having a "town hall meeting" laying down the law for the next month when he started in on the announce team.
"Don West and Mike Tenay listen up. As far as my opinion goes I think you're doing a heck of a job here in TNA, but when the board makes a decision, they go by majority. Instead of a two man announce team it will now be a 3 person announce team. Allow me to introduce the newest member of the TNA announce team, Rogue."
As planned she walked out onto the stage, stood there for a second so everyone could see her, then made her way over to the announce table without even acknowledging Mike or Don and took her seat. After the town meeting was over, everyone went to the back and Scott got to a headset where he could hear this next part.
"Rogue, welcome to the broadcast position."
"Glad to be here. The board felt they needed someone to breathe new life into the broadcast team so here I am."
"Breathe new life?"
"Yea something along the lines of boring, bland."
"Listen here, just because the board brought you in here doesn't mean you can come up in here disrespecting people."
"Oh Mike cool your jets. I'm here to do a job. If you like me, fine. If you don't that's fine with me too. Either way, you're not the one who signs my paychecks so I suggest you suck it up and get over it so we can all do our jobs."
"I hope the board is hearing this."
"I'll bring them the copy myself. I'm sure they'd love to hear about how you discredit their decisions. So now if the pity party is over, we've got a match to call."
Backstage Scott had a smirk a mile wide on his face. That was his Lisa. When the show was over and Lisa made her way to the back, Mike hollered at her.
"Hey Lisa!"
"Yea?"
"Good job out there."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. See you in a few weeks."
She got to Scott and that smirk was still on his face. He had been periodically checking in on her and she was definitely proving herself worth the shot given to her.
"So, what did you think?"
"I love you."
"I know you love me. What did you think of me at the table?"
"You were amazing. You did exactly as I thought you would do."
Little did anyone know there was a dual purpose while she was in Florida this time. Thanks to help from Ludacris and Def Jam who were of course aware of her situation, she had been able to attend a writing session to gather possible music for the Spiderman 3 movie that was to be released later that year. She had submitted a song entitled "Scared of Myself" and they actually wanted her to record a demo, giving the guy who would do it for the soundtrack, Simon Dawes, an idea of how it was supposed to be done. Scott hadn't even heard the song yet, so when she got in the recording studio and he got to hear it, needless to say he was floored.
May
I never become unloved by you
May you never have to know my
shadows by the name
You're my heroine and you're a rose in my
tea
May I never become unloved by you.
May I always be on
my way to you
May I never have to meet the man I'd be alone
I'm
your criminal and you're my only friend
May I always be on my way
to you.
Cause I'm scared, scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared,
scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself without you.
I
have found a way to watch over you
I have found a way to face the
burden of my dreams
they are crooked but they're,well they're all
I have
I have found a way to watch over you.
Yes, I'm
scared scared of myself
Oh, I'm scared, scared of myself
Oh,
I'm scared, scared of myself without you.
Cause I'm scared,
scared of myself without you.
Without you.
When they got done, they made the drive to Ft. Myers to see her sisters and more importantly Xavier. She missed her nephew like crazy and didn't get to see him as much as she did her sisters. She walked in the door and Xavier ran to her.
"Aunt Lisa! Aunt Lisa!"
"What's up Playboy? How have you been doing?"
"I missed you Aunt Lisa."
"Believe me baby, I've missed you too."
"Mom says you and Uncle Scott are going to have a baby."
"We sure are Playboy. In about another 5 months anyways."
"That's cool! Mom! Aunt Lisa's here!"
Ericka walked in the living room with a look of surprise on her face.
"Didn't I just leave you in Orlando yesterday?"
"Uh yea."
"I thought you two would be up north by now."
"Well…."
"What did you do Lisa?"
"I spent most of the morning in a recording studio."
"You're kidding."
Lisa held up the demo as proof.
"Who for?"
"The new Spiderman movie actually. Def Jam hooked me up with the writing session for it, and I had to record a demo so the guy who's singing it knows how it's supposed to be done."
"So do I get to hear it or what?"
"Thought you'd never ask."
By the time the song was over, Ericka had a smile on her face. In a way, even if Lisa had written it for a movie, it was a love song for Scott. It was written in a male perspective, but she knew her sister enough to know anything she wrote was personal before anything else. When the two walked in their house late that night, they were quick to shower. When Lisa was about ready to turn in, she noticed Scott over at the stereo system. He pressed play and pulled her into his arms. It was her song. She laid her head on his chest as they moved to the music. When it was over, he brought her eyes to his and she knew that look all too well.
"Just show me."
He brought his lips to hers and she felt the emotion coming from him. He picked her up wrapping her legs around his waist, carrying them to their bed. He laid her down and looked into her eyes.
"A jamais perdu, à jamais trouvé."
When she said it back to him in French his heart swelled. He had been trying to teach her, but she had never gotten it perfect until tonight. The words forever lost, forever found spoke volumes whenever they said them. At least to them they did anyways. His lips met hers again and things became physically and emotionally intense quickly. When Lisa opened her eyes and saw Scott looking at her with complete love and devotion it sent her over the edge screaming his name. He came behind her with a shout. He collapsed to her side and pulled her to him.
"God I love you so much."
"I love you too baby."
The following morning, Lisa got an email from one of the guys she had run into at the movie writing session. In fact they, along with one of his fellow band mates had put together a rock song while they were there as it had been a two day session. This song was what Christian was writing about. They wanted to record it, but their lead singer was questionable about it still. He wanted her to cut a demo of it so he could show his band mate why they should record it. She emailed him back, letting him know she needed the instrumental track and where she would have to record it at. Once everything was set up, it was then who she realized Christian was. She walked back into the living room where Scott was watching TV.
"What's with the look baby?"
"You know Christian, the guy I wrote with at the session, who wants me to do a demo when we go back to Orlando?"
"Yea what about him?"
"I told you he looked familiar, etc."
"Just tell me baby."
"He's the guitarist from Puddle of Mudd."
"Oh I know you had to mark for a minute on that one."
"Considering the fact I LOVE their music, yea."
"Who all is going to be there?"
"Just me, you, the tech and Christian. We're making him a copy right there that way I have the master."
"You make more than I do."
"Not really. If anything, we're even. Does it bother you?"
"No, cause we're both doing what we love and we're happy."
"Thank you."
"Taxes are gonna be hell this year, but we'll be fine."
