I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Carol's Point of View-
"At this time, I would like to introduce the host of the 2009 Diva Search, Jeff Hardy!" Lillian announced, Jeff's music started and he danced out, doing his pelvic thrust dance, I leaned over to Beth.
"He's real hot when he does that, you know that right." I whispered, she just gave me this look, "I'm just saying." I said sticking my hands up and standing back up and wrapping my arms around John.
"What'd you say?" John asked looking down at me; I was smiling widely giggling at what I just said to Beth.
"Nothing." I said shaking my head a little.
"Our first contestant of the night, Lindsey Grey." Jeff announced, she hugged Matt tightly.
"Good luck." Matt said as she ran out, I was getting more nervous every moment knowing that my career relies on tonight.
"Good luck out there." John said pecking me on the lips and squeezed me a little for a hug, he let me go to hug Beth and I also lightly hugged Matt.
"We'll have our fingers crossed." Beth said.
"And the second contestant of the night is Carol Kent." Jeff announced, I ran out onto the stage and walked down the ramp to the ring; I climbed up the stairs and climbed in between the ropes getting into the ring next to Jeff and Lindsey. Lindsey was dressed as Matt like we suspected. "Alright, it's down to you two, at this time you are going to read a speech written by yourself explaining why you think you should win this Diva search, beginning with Lindsey." Jeff said, he handed her the microphone, I didn't really pay attention to what she was saying, Jeff was standing next to me. "Doesn't she remind you of the teacher from Charlie Brown, wha wha wha?" Jeff whispered, I bit my lip trying not to laugh.
"Shut up." I whispered back.
"Wha wha wha, wha wha." Jeff said.
"Are you going to do that when I speak?" I asked.
"No, I just have to pee and I'm trying to get my mind off of it." Jeff said.
"Clench, you should have gone before you came out here." I said back.
"Thank you." Lindsey said handing the microphone back to Jeff, he was walking funny and standing funny and I was trying so hard not to laugh at him.
"That was Lindsey, and your next contestant, Carol." Jeff said handing me the microphone.
"Thank you Jeff. Where to begin? Well, I wrote a speech, but I don't think it's any good or could be anything compared to Lindsey's. I would like to thank all the fans for voting for me and keeping me in this contest for this long, I never thought I would make it this far, I thought I would be gone in the first round, but you fans believed in me and kept me around. I can't express how much that means to me, I love every one of you that has voted for me. I would also like to thank the WWE for giving me this opportunity to be a part of the WWE and a part of this Diva search. I would also want to thank every single friend of mine that I made along the way, you know who are." I said glancing over at Jeff smiling. "I can't really say why I think I should stay or why I should win, because I would rather you guys decide and I don't like talking about myself, you guys have been great, thank you." I said handing the microphone back to Jeff.
"And that was Carol." Jeff said looking at me weirdly, I shrugged my shoulders. "Are we ready to hear the results?" Jeff asked as he stepped forward and pacing in front of us, I'm assuming to get his mind off him having to pee, the fans cheered loudly expressing that they wanted to hear the results.
"Let the best person win." I said looking over at her extending my hand to shake hers.
"I don't want to shake it, but we are on television and I don't want to look rude you fat cow." Lindsey said shaking my hand.
"The results are in, the winner of the 2009 WWE Diva search and the newest addition to the Diva roster is…." Jeff said pausing for a while as he opened the envelope, my heart beating fast and my stomach having butterflies fluttering; it felt like I was going to puke. "Why won't this thing open, my palms are too sweaty." Jeff said as he wiped his hand on his pants, his palms are sweaty?
"Just open it!" Everyone started chanting.
"I'm trying." Jeff said into the microphone.
"Give it here." I said, he handed the envelope to me and I opened it and handed it back to him.
"Alright, it's opened now." Jeff said as he slid out the sheet of paper reading the name of the new Diva on it. "Drum roll…" Jeff said as they started playing an actual drum roll and fans were stomping their feets, you got to be serious. "The winner is….Carol Kent." Jeff said, my mouth dropped in shock, balloons and graffiti falling from the ceiling. I stood there in shock in hopes that he misread it; Lindsey climbed out of the ring and headed back up the ramp. Jeff grabbed the crown and sash from a production assistant around the ring and carried it up to me. "Congratulations Carol." Jeff said.
"You're serious?" I asked.
"No, I am just pulling a big prank on you." Jeff said as he put the sash on me and put the crown on me.
"I can't believe this." I said shocked, I threw my hands over my mouth and tears stung my eyes.
"You should be happy, you won and will continue being on tour with us." Jeff said.
"I am, but I just can't believe I won." I said wiping my eyes, he pulled me into a hug, I held him in that hug for a while of happiness, it was like that moment between Benoit and Eddie Guerrero from Wrestle Mania 20 after Benoit won the belt.
"I'm so proud of you girl." Jeff said, the crowds cheered and applauded. "Go take the ropes, your fans are waiting." Jeff said, I went to the camera side corner climbing up on the second rope looking out into the crowd; I turned back to Jeff who was applauding. I jumped off going to the other side doing the same thing. The lights dimmed down signaling commercial, I picked up a balloon smacking Jeff with it, Jeff picked one up smacking me back, and we climbed out and walked up the ramp continuing to smack each other with the balloons. Jeff and I walked backstage, I was pulled into a hug from Beth, and she rocked us back and forth.
"Congratulations girl!" Beth said.
"Thanks, where's John?" I asked as he grabbed my arm pulling me into his embrace, he picked me up.
"That's my girl; I told you that you would win." John said as he pressed his lips against mine.
"I know, we should totally celebrate tonight." I said.
"Yeah, but I have a match tonight." John said as he set me down, I looked around and I didn't see Matt, I was a little hurt he wasn't there to congratulate me, but I was met by the chairman Vince McMahan.
"Carol Kent." Vince said extending his hand out, I stuck mine out shaking his.
"Mr. McMahan, it's a pleasure to meet you and have the opportunity to do this Diva search." I said.
"You deserved the spot and you deserved to win, I would like to talk to you privately." Vince said.
"Sure." I said looking at all of them, and they crossed their fingers, I followed Vince to his office.
"Have a seat." Vince said shutting the door, and I sat down.
"Did I do anything wrong sir?" I asked worried.
"No, it's about your contract, considering you won the Diva search and I've been watching your demo reel personally along with my son in law Hunter, we would like you to join WWE on a standard contract like any other super star." Vince said.
"Are you serious? I would love to be in this company sir." I said.
"We have a contract typed up for you to look over and sign; it's pretty self explanatory and very simple." Vince said handing me the papers.
"Alright, may I return it tomorrow at the ECW/Smack Down taping?" I asked.
"Sure, look it over and if you have any questions, you could come back and ask tomorrow."
"I got one question."
"That is?"
"Would I be on Raw, ECW or Smack Down?" I asked flipping through the contract.
"I am looking at putting you on Smack Down considering you work well with those Hardy Boys backstage." Vince said.
"But Matt is on Raw sir?"
"We are going to trade him over to Smack Down here in a few weeks." Vince said.
"Is John going to get traded?"
"Wasn't planning on it, why?"
"No reason sir." I said.
"Alright, well, see you tomorrow, if I'm not here, just find J.R. or Michael Hayes." Vince said.
"Thank you sir, I can't express how much I'm thankful for this opportunity." I said standing up and shaking his hand.
"It's well deserved." Vince said, I walked to the door opening it, Beth and Jeff were leaning against the door listening to the conversation, and they fell forward onto the ground.
"What are you two doing?" I asked looking down at the two people lying on the ground.
"Sorry." Jeff said as they started to get to their feet.
"Hardy, Beth, what are you doing listening in our conversation?" Vince asked.
"Sorry sir, we wanted to know if she got a contract." Beth said dusting herself off.
"I'm sure she would have told you in a few moments." Vince said, I pushed them out the door.
"Thanks sir, I'm sorry about them." I said, he shrugged his shoulders, I walked out shutting the door behind me, and I smacked both of them on the upper arms.
"What was that for woman?" Jeff asked.
"Listening in on a private conversation." I said.
"Sorry, we are nosey." Jeff said.
"Did you go pee?" I asked.
"Now that is personal." Jeff said.
"Fine, I'm just concerned about your bladder." I said.
"I do have to pee REALLY bad though." Jeff said as he danced down the hall, Beth and I were biting our lips trying not to laugh at him doing a wacky pee pee dance/walk down the hall.
