-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Randy and Jules walked into the hotel bar and made their way towards the bar. Randy ordered a whiskey coke and Jules ordered a cherry coke. She looked at Randy, "I'm not supposed to drink alcohol till the swelling goes down."

Randy nodded, "No worries." He put his arm around her and they walked towards the crowd. There they seen Maria, Ashley, Candice, John Cena, Brian Kendrick, Shelton Benjamin and Dave Batista. Randy and Jules walked over there. "Hey guys."

Everyone shouted their various greetings. Randy smiled and tightened his grip on Jules, "Guys, this is my girlfriend Juliana, but you can also call her Jules."

Everyone said hi and held up their drink. John leaned over to Juliana and winked, "Congratulations." He said in her ear.

She smiled, "Thanks."

As everyone was talking about the show, and the party afterward, Jules excused herself to go up to the bar and order another cherry coke. She got up to the bar and ordered a cherry coke. She was watching the group as she felt someone come up behind her, "Kind of a rowdy bunch isn't it?"

She turned and looked and there was Josh Matthews. She didn't know if she should act like she knew who he was or not, so she smiled, "Yeah, kind of."

"Don't worry, they don't mean any harm, they're just trying to blow off some steam, tonight is a big night for them." He replied smiling. "They won't start any fights."

Jules took her cherry coke from the bartender and tipped him, "Yeah, I heard it's Wrestlemania tomorrow night here in town."

Josh moved closer, "I'm Josh." He said holding his hand out. "And you are?"

Juliana smiled, "I'm Juliana." And she shook his hand.

Dave Batista looked over at Randy, "Hey Randy, Josh is trying to put the moves on your girlfriend."

Randy looked up from his conversation with Shelton, "What?"

"Over at the bar. Take a look." Dave said pointing.

Randy looked over and sure enough, there was Josh trying to hit on Jules. Randy smiled a devious smile, "This is going to be fun." And he finished his drink and began to head towards Jules and Josh.

Brian started laughing and tapped John on the back, "Josh was in the bathroom when Randy introduced her, so when he seen her at the bar he said he thought she was hot, so I told him to go put the moves on her."

John started laughing, "Spanky, you're a riot. You're going to get his ass kicked."

Spanky smiled and shrugged his shoulders and took another drink. John couldn't help but laugh.

Randy walked up behind Josh, Jules noticed him, but Randy put a finger up to his lips. She just kept on smiling and talking. Randy walked right up behind Josh and put his arm around him, "Josh my man!"

Josh smiled, "Randy, how's it going? Oh, Randy, I'd like you to meet Juliana. Juliana, this is Randy Orton, he's one of the wrestlers."

Juliana smiled and held her hand out, "Nice to meet you Randy, good luck at Wrestlemania."

Randy smiled and shook her hand, "Nice to meet you too Juliana."

Juliana smiled because Randy rarely ever used her full name.

Randy looked at Juliana, "So, is Josh being nice to you?"

She smiled and blushed a little, "Yes, he's being nice."

Randy smiled, "So, Josh, what's taking you so long? Have you asked her to dance yet?"

Josh smiled and put his head down, "No, not yet. We were just talking."

"Well, go ahead, get to asking her." Randy said pushing him.

Josh looked up, "Would you like to dance with me?"

Juliana smiled, "That's very nice of you to ask, but I can't. I'm here with my boyfriend."

Randy smiled and winked at Jules from behind Josh, "And I bet that if your boyfriend seen that someone was talking to you he would be very upset wouldn't he?"

"Oh yes, very upset. He gets a little protective when we're at new places." Juliana replied.

Josh looked around, "You don't see him do you? I wouldn't want to upset him."

"Well actually yes, I do see him, and he's giving you the evil eye." Juliana replied. "And look, he's right here."

"Where?" Josh said nervous as he turned around he walked right into Randy.

Randy looked at him, "Right here."

"What?!?" Josh replied.

"You must have missed the introduction, Josh, this is my girlfriend Juliana." He said motioning to her.

"Dude, I'm so sorry. It's all Spanky's fault. He told me to come and talk to her." He said looking towards the group, and there he seen Spanky laughing his ass off and holding up his drink to him. "What a bastard." Josh grumbled.

Randy laughed and slapped him on the back, "No harm done." He turned to Jules, "Come on sweetie, a few more people arrived, I'll introduce you."

Juliana nodded, "See you around Josh, it was nice meeting you."

He smiled, "Nice meeting you too."

After hanging out with Randy and his buddies for awhile, Juliana kept watching the band, and finally decided to go check out the band. She made her way to the stage and when they took a break, she went and talked to the lead singer.

The band took the stage, and the lead singer Jenny grabbed the mike. She advised the crowd that she was a fan of the band that this next singer hails from and she was allowing her to sing a song.

The spotlight went to Juliana sitting at the piano. "Thanks, I hope you don't mind, but I've been working on learning this song, and I thought that I would try it out on you guys, I hope that you don't mind."

Randy was caught up in a conversation and didn't even notice that Jules was up on stage. Shelton loudly announced, "Randy, you're woman's on stage."

Randy quickly shut up and turned around. There she was, the light shining on her, and she began playing the piano. She was performing the Kelly Clarkson song, "Because of You." Everyone who was there from the WWE stopped what they were doing and watched her sing. Her voice was pure, her playing was perfect, she hit every note with precision and she sang with such raw emotion, it almost made Randy tear up. He knew that the words of the song closely mirrored her father, so he knew where she was getting the emotions. He had sang karaoke with her since they were 16, but he never realized just how much talent she had.

The WWE group watched closely. The divas hoping to find something to hate about her, but they couldn't. She had such a beautiful voice, how could you not like it?

When the song was done, the bar erupted into applause. The WWE guys were patting Randy on the back and whistling.

The divas were clapping, but one diva in particular was trying to hide her disappointment. She had been flirting with Randy and partying with Randy, and messing around with him, and now suddenly he's dating some other woman? She was not happy, and she knew that she would have to use everything she had to win his affection back. And she meant everything.

Some of the crowd were cheering for an encore. Jenny the lead singer looked over at Jules, "C'mon, whaddya say to one more?"

Jules smiled, "Sure. Do you have a guitar I can use?"

As Jenny was getting a guitar for Jules, she suggested singing "Kerosene" by Miranda Lambert. Jules smiled, "Sure, that'll get 'em on their feet."

They began to perform "Kerosene" and Randy could see just how much Jules enjoyed performing. She was doing great. The crowd loved her, his buddies were impressed, and he had to admit, even some of the divas were jamming.

As she sang the lyrics, "Forget your high society, I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA!" She jumped up on a speaker and began to stomp as she sang. She really had the crowd going.

Randy watched in complete awe. He had never seen her this outgoing and sassy in his life. She was really rockin' out. When she was playing the guitar or when she was just singing. He had to laugh because as she sang the lyrics, "Now I don't hate the one who left, You can't hate someone that's dead. He's out there holding on to someone, I'm holding up my smoking gun" She flashed the Hardy Boyz symbol and winked at the crowd as she acted like she blew the smoke off of the barrel of a gun. She continued on, "I'll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name. Well I'm giving up on love 'cause love's given up on me. I'm giving up on love HEY love's given up on me." Part of him felt bad because he knew that he had cheated on her, but that was in the past and they had both promised to move on and not dwell in the past. But her electricity was amazing.

When she was done, she said her thank yous and hopped off. Randy reached out and held her. "Holy shit, I knew you were good, but I didn't know you were that good!"

She smiled, "Thanks. It's just something I enjoy doing."

A lot of Randy's WWE buddies were patting her on the back and telling her she did a good job. Just as she was getting ready to tell Randy she needed to go to sleep, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned around and there were two men in suits, "Can I help you?" She asked. She had definitely had her share of hecklers and weirdos since working with the band and while doing Rocky Horror, so she put up her tough front.

"Do you have a moment? We would like to talk to you regarding your performance." The man in the black suit said.

"Don't worry, this isn't anything weird, we just want to ask you a few questions." The man in the blue suit said.

"That's fine, but I would like to have my boyfriend accompany us, is that ok?" She replied. Part of her just wasn't sure about this.

"No problem, we'll meet you at a table outside of the front door in the lobby." The man in the black suit said. The two men headed out to the lobby and Jules walked over to Randy.

"Randy, can I borrow you?" She asked.

"Yeah, are you ready to head up?" He asked.

"Well, there are two guys in suits that want to talk to me about the performance, and I'm not so sure I want to do that alone. They want to talk in the lobby." Juliana advised.

"Yup, let's go." Randy said setting down their drinks. They said their good-byes and headed out to the lobby,

Juliana approached the table with Randy. The two men stood up, "We're Michael Robinson (black suit) and Jordan Simpson (blue suit) and we're from the American Idol talent scouting board." They said as they held out their hands and offered business cards.

Juliana and Randy shook their hands and took the cards. They all sat down at the table as Michael began to speak. "We wanted to talk to you regarding your performance. We were very impressed. You have a great vocal range, you are able to play a few musical instruments, and you have a great stage presence. You seem to captivate an audience, and you have a great look. What our job is is to find some local talent and encourage them to audition for the show."

Jordan leaned forward, "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking the show is rigged. Well, the voting is legit, the determining of the winner is all legit. We just help to pick out some talent that we know is worthy of such a reward and we plant them in with the other auditions. But we put a note in the file so they know that you were picked by us and they'll still evaluate you and critique you like everyone else, however you will be one of the selected to continue on."

Michael sat forward as Jordan sat back, "So, if that's something you're interested in, we'll give you a packet to look over, it'll give you the dates you'll need to have off and all of the rules and regulations. And then you'll have to call us back to let us know yes or no."

Juliana took a deep breath, "Ok, there's just one thing. I don't live here in Illinois, I'm actually from St. Louis, Missouri. I can fly anywhere you would need me too, but I'm not a local."

"That's fine." Jordan replied. "If you're interested, we'll tell you which audition site to go to since there are only a couple left."

"Can we have a minute?" Juliana asked.

"Sure, take your time." Michael replied, and the two men stood up and walked back into the bar.

Randy looked at Juliana, "What are you thinking?"

"Well, it sounds like an incredible opportunity. Even if I don't get further than the first round, I still think it would be fun just to try. See what people think. But, I have my job, and you work Mondays." Juliana began to rattle off, but Randy held his hand up.

"Jules, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, you have to go for it! As far as your job goes, you've been looking for a new one anyway, put in your notice. Live off of your inheritance for awhile, try this out and see where it takes you. As far as me working Mondays, big deal, we can talk on the phone, and I'll fly out to where you are for the rest of my time off. We can rent an apartment, or if you have to live on site somewhere, I'll stay in a hotel. No worries. Jules, you can't pass up this opportunity." Randy said fully supporting her.

"Alright, I'll do it." She said smiling.

Randy hugged her tight and gave her a kiss, "Let's go say yes before they change their mind."

And they headed into the bar and told them yes. They gave her the information packet, and said their good-byes and good lucks.

Randy and Juliana headed up to their room to go to sleep because Wrestlemania was coming quick.
