Alix squeaked and bounced up, slipping her hand into Randy's and waiting for him to start moving. Randy stood there and stared at Alix with a 'you're crazy' look written all over his face.
"Let's go, Randy!" Alix had a pleading look in her eyes. Randy rolled his eyes with a small smile and walked out with Alix at his side. They walked a little ways down their hallway and Orton knocked on the door they ended up next to. Evan opened it with Morrison close behind him.
"It's time." Randy nodded, sounding serious, but Alix, Evan, and Morrison couldn't help but crack up with laughter.
"Sweet." Morrison grinned. "How many people are we getting?"
"I was thinking…" Orton started, but was quickly and deliberately interrupted by an excited Evan.
"No way!" Evan teased. "The Viper, thinking? You have got to be kidding me. No way would he be thinking!"
"Shut it, Bourne." Orton shook his head. "Anyway, I was thinking we get anyone who's taken a liking to Alix. The numbers will be another aspect that would help her case of getting hired."
Morrison and Bourne nodded and Alix resumed bouncing. Everyone laughed loudly as she began to make circles around Randy.
"Let's – go. Let's – go. Let's – go." She repeated over and over and over again as she made more circles around him. Anything to get the lazy wrestlers moving. Anything that would get her to be a wrestler herself quicker.
"Oh. Kay. Oh. Kay. Oh. Kay." Evan and Orton copied her at the exact same time. Every burst into laughter again when they realized that simple fact. Alix beamed as the joy on the wrestler's faces, hoping that wasn't about to stop anytime soon.
The four headed to the next floor up and on one of the very first doors, Morrison knocked. John Cena answered, with Edge close behind him.
"Is it time?" Edge asked, peering over John's shoulder, and looking like he was munching on a Slim Jim.
"It is." Morrison nodded, as seriously as Randy had tried to when her and Alix were getting JoMo and Evan.
"Welcome to the pack, X-Stinger." Cena smiled and patted Alix on the shoulder. "Edge told me what you guys are doing."
Alix beamed at him and immediately replied, "I'm goin to get Uncle Hunter. You guys get anyone else who likes me, kay? Not that that number can be of any significance…"
The five Superstars nodded and Alix raced down the hallway to the door on the very end; where she had heard he was staying. I hope he's in a better mood today…I don't like it when he's not all happy and stuff…
Alix knocked on Hunter's door and a muffled, "S'open…" met her ears. She winced as she heard it but knew that getting Hunter would really help Vince to decide whether or not to hire her. She opened the heavy hotel door as quietly as she possibly could and top-toed in.
"Uncle Hunter…?" she whispered, creeping slowly closer to a figure huddled under a blanket on the nearest bed to the door. The entire room was almost pitch black; all of the lights in the room were off and the curtains were pulled over the large window in the very back.
"Whataya want, kid?" Hunter whispered, not making any move towards Alix. She wanted to cry at the helplessness of Hunter's voice, but she knew she had to hold it together. Anyone else would make fun of her anyway; if they saw her crying over Hunter.
"We were gonna go talk to Mr. McMahon about signing me today…remember?" Alix felt a little upset that Hunter had forgotten so quickly and easily. He does care about me…right…?
"Oh…yeah…" Hunter grunted, still not even trying to face Alix. "Uhm…listen, kid, that thing that Sheamus did to me is still hurtin' bad... I'll, uh, I'll say something to Vince tomorrow if I can, okay? Promise."
Alix's shoulders slumped and her heart sank down to the floor. But that won't help today and they're talking to Vince today… She thought, running a hand through her hair.
"That's fine, Uncle Hunter." She put a fake smile on her face just so Hunter could hear it; even though he couldn't see it. "Please feel better soon." Or else I'll never be a wrestler…Alix knelt down and kissed him lightly on the forehead, almost scrambling to get out of the room as soon as she stood up.
Once she did get out of the room, an entire crowd of people were waiting for her. They consisted of John Cena, John Morrison, Edge, Randy Orton Evan Bourne, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Big Show, and she thought she saw someone in the very back possibly behind Big Show and Kofi, but she couldn't tell who it was.
"Holy sh -" Alix started, but she stopped herself before she actually swore. She had to appear at least somewhat professional to Mr. McMahon.
"People like you." Evan smiled that cute smile that Alix had learned to love so much. "Didn't you know that?"
"Yeah, I knew about you, JoMo, Edgey, Viper, and Show. Not the entire freakin roster!"
"Trust me, Stinger," Cena laughed when he said that. "It's more than just those five. Besides, where's Hunter on there?"
Alix looked to the floor, not certain if Hunter actually liked her or not. "Triple H decided not to come with us to talk to Vince…even though I'm sure he knows how important it is…"
Morrison and Orton laughed as if she was a complete idiot. "Ally-cat, Hunt's hurting." Orton rolled his eyes and looked like he had almost scoffed. "That doesn't mean he doesn't like you. Selfish little beast."
Alix stuck her tongue out at him but felt her heart sink again. And felt confused. And a little like she wanted to kill someone. Am I really selfish…? How would she know? A week before she was barely around people, leave alone worrying if she was selfish.
"Alright so…now that we're minus Hunter, we have JoMo, Show, Bourne, Truth, Kingston, Cena, Orton, and Rey-Rey." Edge counted off each of the present Superstars on his fingers, and still rather slowly.
Alix's eyes darkened quickly and the majority of the Superstars took a step away from her. Her fists instinctively clenched and she felt hatred in her throat. No one had ever seen this before in Alix, and truly it was scary.
"I don't even see him." Alix growled, looking at the semi-scared faces of each of the Superstars, and trying to figure out where the person she had once loved so much could be.
Big Show and Kofi Kingston stepped apart to reveal Rey Mysterio being the one that Alix had thought she had seen. Apparently, and unfortunately, I was right about that…
Mysterio offered a small wave but there were no smiles or anything happier than that. Alix wasn't upset at that; but that fact that he was there at all for something important messed with her some.
"Why are you here?" she ordered, a whirlwind of thoughts shooting around her head. She could barely see any of Rey's reaction as his face was hidden beneath his red and black wrestling mask.
"I don't like you as a person." Mysterio almost evilly smirked at her. Why can't I just punch him in his stupid face… "But I think you have a chance as a wrestler. Long as you're not on Smackdown. Then you might have a few things to worry about."
Alix immediately began to form a plan, and she rather liked it. "Ya' know, this quote-unquote 'feud' between us needs to go further than when we have to interact with each other. I think I need to specifically ask for a draft to Smackdown just so all of the WWE Universe can see their beloved Mysterio as he really is."
Rey growled and Alix smirked, proud of herself.
"Creative won't make me a heel." Rey snarled.
"Fine." Alix shrugged. "I'll start a heel. But I can promise you that won't go on for long. They'll see that me as a heel just…doesn't…work." She did a little twirl and grabbed Evan's hand, walking off with the rest of the Superstars behind them, more than ready to talk to Mr. McMahon about her signing.
Rey clenched his fists and reluctantly followed everyone else, wishing to just get this girl out of his hair.
AN: Again, sorry to anyone who cares! Big issue last week with updating…read 'Another Muse Story' to figure out why. But what do you guys think about Rey-Rey and the Stinger having a WWE feud, instead of just carrying it on outside the ring? That is, of course, if Alix gets signed. ;-) REVIEW and I'll update sooner! REVIEWWWWW!
