Chapter 4: Let It Begin!
Kelly and Velvet were about to go out to the gym, but Traci had walked back in to wish Kelly luck for her debut.
Traci: Good luck Kelly!
Kelly: For what?
Traci: You're debut tonight?
Kelly: Holy shit! I completely forgot about that
Velvet: Kelly, chill! You've got this so after your match we'll go out or something
Kelly changed back into her ring gear and headed down to the ring, joined by Velvet and Taryn, who were both wearing a t-shirt and jeans.
After the entrances, the two knockouts squared up to each other, Rosita was small but feisty, sending kick after kick into Kelly's leg and hip. The tables turned after Rosita had Kelly in the corner, and this was Kelly's chance to get the upper hand. She only needed to fire up with a few clotheslines and then a kick into Rosita's gut, leaving her open to the K2, and Kelly was now joined in the ring by Taryn and Velvet, who had raised her hands.
Backstage, in the knockouts locker room, Kelly, Velvet and Taryn had been joined by the Guns and were all ready to go back to the hotel. Alex left to go to the bathroom, leaving the girls and Chris, and all of a sudden, they were all looking at Kelly.
Taryn: How's he been since the whole Taylor thing?
Velvet: Taylor thing?
Chris: She called him last night
Kelly: What did she say?
Chris: I didn't hear everything, but it sounded like she was saying she still loved him and I could swear I heard a guy laughing in the background, had to be Max so I hung up for him
Velvet: What a bitch!
Alex walked back in, he looked fine, but they all knew he wasn't.
Alex: So we all ready to go?
Taryn: Yeah!
Before they could leave, Dixie had walked in and asked Kelly for a chat. She left and the rest of them sat back down and waited, as well as tried to listen to the conversation outside
Dixie: I remember you said something about a friend, whose contract in WWE is expiring soon, I've been trying to talk to you about it for ages but I have just had so much going on right now?
Kelly: Oh yeah, Evan, Evan Bourne, you might know him is Matt Sydal?
Dixie: Do you think he would be interested, I mean, would you be able to talk to him?
Kelly: Of course! When do you want me to call him?
Dixie: Whenever is a good time for him, but we do have a house show next week, in Detroit
Kelly: I'll tell him to be there!
Dixie: Thank you Kelly and great match out there
Kelly: Thanks Dixie!
Kelly walked into the hallway with her phone and called Evan.
Kelly: Hello Evan!
Evan: Hey Kellz, what's up?
Kelly: Everything's good, I just called to ask about your WWE contract?
Evan: My contract? What about it?
Kelly: Well I remember hearing you talking about it, and how it's gonna expire soon, and I was talking to the chairwoman of TNA and she is interested in giving you a tryout...what do you say?
Evan: When?!
Kelly: When are you free to come...because we're going to Detroit next week so maybe there?
Evan: I'll be there Monday!
Kelly: Awesome! See you then!
Evan: Bye!
Taryn, Velvet, Alex and Chris walked out as she was hanging up and announced they were gonna head over to the hotel to start packing. It was only Saturday so they were gonna spend Sunday at the mall, and then leave in the evening for the airport for Detroit.
*In the girls room*
Velvet: Hey Kellz, where did you go after you spoke to Dixie about your friend?
Taryn: And who is your friend?
Kelly: Number 1, I went to go call him and number 2, guess you'll have to find out Taryn
Kelly giggled, knowing how much her friend hated being lead on with jokes.
Taryn: Can I get a clue at least? Do I know him? Was he in WWE?
Velvet: Most importantly! Is he cute?!
Kelly: Yes, yes and yes, and Vel, you have Chris now! Why are you asking?
Velvet: For Taryn obviously! I mean once you and Alex are together, we can get your friend and Taryn together and we can triple date!
Taryn: whoa there! Let's slow down! I don't even know who you're talking about...wait...is it someone I was friends with? Is it someone from ECW when I was general manager?
Kelly: I think so...here is my last clue, think someone who flies...that is all I'll say, and please can we stop going on about me and Alex...don't think it's ever gonna happen
The girls were all silent until Velvet gasped
Velvet: OMG I think I know! (Whispers in Kelly's ear) is it Evan Bourne?
Kelly: Yeah! But don't tell Taryn, she won't believe it!
Velvet: Taryn! You two would be so cute together!
Taryn: PLEASE! Just tell me who it is!
Kelly and Velvet shook their heads. They weren't going to say anything. The conversation was interrupted when the guns knocked on their hotel room door. Taryn got up and answered it, and let the guys in, they both walked in.
Alex: Hey guys; don't worry about hotel reservations for Detroit! Chris and I have already asked Aj, Christy, Pete and Flash if they wanna stay at our place whilst we're there, you girls wanna join?
Velvet: Are you guys sure? I mean it sounds pretty full already?
Chris: Of course, we have enough rooms for us, and the lounge, so we'll be fine, dunno what? Bring your friends! We can take them out as well!
Kelly: Sorry guys, but would it be ok if I had a friend stay over, he's got a tryout match on Monday?
Alex: Sure!
Taryn: What about the hotel rooms we reserved?
Chris: We...uh...cancelled them...
Taryn: You did what!?
Velvet: How were you guys so sure we would say yes?
She said as he spun her around and hugged her from behind.
Alex: It was Chris's idea
Chris: Dude! But...uh...yeah...at least you guys are gonna stay so it all worked out fine!
The five of them finished packing their bags and went back to their hotel to pack anything they left in their rooms. It was already 9pm so they all ordered room service and went to bed. The next day Kelly, Velvet and Taryn all went to the mall to see if they could find anything that would suit the Detroit night life. Alex and Chris wouldn't shut up about taking them all out. The guys also tagged along with the girls to help them look for stuff, as well as for Chris to spend more time with Velvet.
Funnily enough, Taryn, Chris and Velvet had all planned to ditch Alex and Kelly to force them to spend more time together, and they'd found the perfect opportunity when the three of them suddenly needing to go to the bathroom. Alex and Kelly stood there, wondering what to do next.
It wasn't that it was awkward to be alone with each other; it was just easier for both of them to be together, with people around.
Chris, Taryn and Velvet ran over to the second floor to see what was going to unfold.
*With Alex and Kelly*
They were both stood in Hot Topic looking at clothes and talking about what they were gonna do about the match where Kelly had to face both members of The Young Buck
Kelly: Like yeah, I'm nervous, but I really don't want you getting hurt for me
Alex: Kelly, I don't think you get that these guys are douche bags. I mean you've seen stuff they've done in Ring of Honour and NJPW?
Kelly: Fine then! If you wanna help, you can, on one condition...
Alex: What's that?
Kelly: If we win, I get to hit you with the K2
Alex: You're on
They laughed and managed to attract the attention of some fans that came over to ask for autographs. It had been about 15 minutes since the three of their friends had left so Alex decided to give them a call.
Alex: Dude, where are you?
Chris: Well we went to the bathroom, and then Velvet wanted a pretzel so we got one
Alex: Well me and Kelly are done here, so meet us at the fountain
*At the fountain*
Kelly: Guys, guess what?!
The three replied, curious to what Kelly had to say
Kelly: Alex and I were talking and we came to an agreement that if we win the match against Gen me...
Chris: yeah?
Alex: That Kelly gets to him me with the K2
Taryn's jaw dropped, Chris slapped his forehead and Velvet rolled her eyes.
Taryn: You guys are unbelievable
Alex: What?
Velvet: I honestly don't understand how neither of you see it
Chris: Come on guys, let's go
The guys led the way back to the car; Chris was telling Alex off for not being flirtier with Kelly, and not suggesting he take her on a date instead of agreeing to let Kelly perform her finisher on him. Meanwhile the girls were behind them giving Kelly a pep talk on why she should move things further with Kelly.
*With the girls*
Kelly: Guys, seriously, he doesn't think of me like that, I don't think he even likes me in that way
Taryn: Well you talking to us isn't gonna change that
Velvet: Yeah, prove to him that you're perfect for him
Kelly: How?
Velvet: When we go out! Just act drunk and if he's drunk enough, it'll work
Taryn: Kelly's a lightweight, she'll be done after a few shots, and Alex drinks like a tank, so unless we wanna spend over $60 just buying him drinks, that's not happening.
