The rest of the week went without much event. Until Friday, Alix and her Smackdown friends just had to work out a lot. Alix spent a lot of time with the trainers to get her ready for more matches; matches where she wouldn't get knocked out at the end of it.

Much of the Smackdown roster was buzzing because of the next week's show; the debut of Smackdown on SyFy. It was a live show which meant no screw-ups, absolutely nothing could be thrown into the ring from fans, and everything had to go perfectly. Yes, the roster had done live shows before, many of them having been on the Raw roster at some point, but with all the hype having gone on for over a month, this wasn't a normal live show.

Certainly in the least not for Alix, who was pacing in her new hotel room, wondering how Vince hadn't given her a match on the new episode.

"I can't believe this!" she exclaimed for the twentieth time to no one. Her roommate, Matt, was working out with the rest of the guys at that point. The only reason Alix wasn't with them was because the trainers had already worked her to the brink every other day of the week and they decided it was time to give her a days' break.

Mr. McMahon had renewed the Mysterio and Del Rio feud by giving them a match that night. Sure, it was bigger than a match between her and Del Rio would have been, but she had ended up without a match.

"And after a huge entrance to the company too…" she muttered, annoyed beyond all belief. She had to come up with something to get in Vince's face about this; what it was going to be, she didn't know.

"Is someone still angry?" Matt chuckled as he walked in, sweat pouring down his face and hair. Alix shot a death glare at him and continued to pace, trying to come up with some evil, devious plan that would get back at Vince.

"I take that as a yes." Matt grinned, lying back on one of the beds and trying to turn the TV on. Alix grabbed the remote from his hand and glared at him again.

"You. Will. Take a shower. Because. You. Stink." Alix pronounced every syllable slowly and clearly to him. "And then you will help me come up with something that'll piss Vince off beyond the point of no return."

Matt laughed loudly. "That shouldn't be too hard. But alright, since I stink so much…"

He pulled off his shirt and threw it on Alix's head, who started to spaz trying to get it off of herself. He just laughed and headed into the small bathroom near the door.

"Hate you!" she yelled, hoping Matt could still hear her. She flicked the sweaty, smelly gray shirt onto Matt's bed and plopped down onto the other one, trying to get her mind off of the Smackdown show that night.

The one thing that wouldn't leave her mind was when everyone got together in Evan's room the week before to watch the Smackdown taping; Alix's debut speech and match.

Alix was laying next to Evan again, his arm around her, and slowly the room began to fill. About fifteen minutes before the show was set to start, Edge and Cena filed in, with Randy close behind them. Edge immediately took to making fun of Evan and Alix, but she just shrugged it off and snuggled closer to Evan.

By five minutes before showtime, Kofi, Christian, Matt, John Morrison, R-Truth, Big Show, and the Undertaker had come in. By three minutes before showtime, giant bowls of popcorn were being passed around, and the drinks and beers were coming out. Big Show gave a warning look to Alix basically saying, 'you touch that beer can and you'll never see the light of day.'

At two minutes until showtime, there was a knock on the door. The room got immediately silent, and no one wanted to get up. No one thought there was anyone missing.

Alix begrudgingly got up and padded in her white socks to the door, as confused as everyone else was. She pulled on the door and in front of her was Triple H.

Alix's eyes widened as Hunter offered a small smile.

"I've been being a buttface…" he whispered, and Alix noticed his hands were behind his back. "I heard you guys were having a 'party' for your signing…s'alright if I join?"

"It's been a while, H…" Alix looked to the floor. "You promise you won't run out on me again?"

"Promise." Hunter nodded. "I…uh…I brought a little make-up gift too, if the promise wasn't enough…"

Hunter pulled out a giant box of Hershey's chocolates, a picture of her from her debut signed by every wrestler with the company, a drawn picture of her and Hunter with a note from Hunter on it, and another piece of paper that looked like it was a message from someone.

"Now, uh, that drawn picture wasn't drawn by me, but I was kind of thinking it's the thought that counts…" Hunter uncomfortably shuffled on his feet as Alix shifted through everything. "And that last note is from Shawn about how proud he is of you with the WWE…just don't read it when anyone's around, okay?"

Alix giggled and hugged Hunter. "I've missed you, Uncle Hunter…"
Triple H grinned. "Missed you too, kid. Let's go, it's showtime."

Just as the two were walking back into the main room, the WWE entrance clip started, and the room erupted in applause. No matter how many years any one of them had been with the company, they couldn't help but get all excited during a show taping, or while watching one of the shows on TV. Alix smiled and laid back down next to Evan, who immediately adjusted himself so the two were comfortable.

No one said anything about Hunter being the one to come in, and Alix smiled as she realized it. She shoved the pictures and the note on the bedside table, and cracked open the box of chocolates; ready to get an extreme chocolate high and ready to love it

It took at least a good forty minutes or so before Alix's theme song hit. All the guys that hadn't heard about her gimmick cracked up, and even Mark cracked a smile in the corner he was sitting in.

"Hello Baltimore!" Alix announced on the TV, and the announcers were going wild at this. Everyone grinned wide and started applauding Alix, who blushed and sunk into Evan. He wrapped his arms tight around her and smiled at her shyness of being on TV, when on the TV she was doing great, excited and bouncing around like she was having the time of her life.

Alix's memory faltered and she was brought back to reality. Matt was still in the shower and she sighed, getting comfortable in her bed. She turned over to her nightstand, grabbing the picture that was drawn of her and Hunter. She smiled as she looked at it; it was drawn as if she was sitting on top of Hunter's shoulders and they were both laughing. It was drawn well too. She almost wished she had asked who actually had drawn the picture, but she guessed it was for the better. Scrawled on the left side of the two of them was a note, that was written by Hunter.

"These are the times that I know both you and I miss." It read. "I'm sorry I let my job and an injury come before you; you deserve more than that. I'm back now, and I hope things can go back to normal. ~Hunter"

Tears had welled in Alix's eyes when she first read it, and the same thing was happening now. She was glad Hunter had come back, and that she had forgiven him. She placed the picture back on the nightstand and pulled Shawn's note out of the drawer below it. She had read through it once or twice, but couldn't look at it nearly as often as everything else, just given who it was written by.

"Welcome to the WWE, X-Stinger! It's hard to believe that I met you once and already you've become a staple to the WWE. I've talked to Teddy and Vince about their plans for you, and wow do they ever have some ideas. Get ready for the rest of your life, Stinger. I'm telling you it's gonna be one freaking long roller coaster ride of ups and downs.

I can't tell you much about what I know, because they've planned for years to come with you. But I'll tell you that you're planned to be wrestling legends and icons of this company, and winning a good number of those matches. There are even some rumblings that you'll have something to do with Wrestlemania 27. That may or may not actually happen, so don't get uber-excited.

I hope to see you on my show soon, or at some point anyway. You never know what could happen when you're a part of this company. ;-)

Good luck,

Raw GM Shawn Michaels."

Alix had squealed the first time she had read it, and luckily, at the time, she was in Hunter's room. He had just grinned and congratulated her again for everything.

She heard the bathroom door start to creak open, and she hurried to shove the letter back into the drawer of the nightstand.

"Hey Alix," he said, trying to dry his hair as quick as possible, but he was already dressed. "I had an idea of something you could do tonight if you're still bent on having something to do at the show…"

AN: what do we think? Hunter's back into Alix's picture, and all of her friends are extremely happy for her being on Smackdown. Even Shawn Michaels! But Rey-Rey didn't show up…what do we think Mattie's idea is? I started this chapter yesterday before the show, so I had my own ideas of how it was going to go. All the same people that were there yesterday are gonna be there, but not all the same matches are gonna happen. Take your guess and the next chappie will be up soon ;-) REVIEW!
