It's the day after NXT, we have a live event in the city that's not televised, but first some autograph signings. I was able to sleep in a bit, before being awoken by Alex.

"Carly, get up. We have autograph signings in a bit." I hear Alex say.

"It's too early for autograph signings." I mumble into the pillow.

"I know, but you got to get up. We have to meet Aly and Mike in the lobby."

"Ugh."

It takes me a good amount of time to get out of bed. I finally do and head into the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower I get changed and do all that morning stuff I normally do. I decided to wear comfortable shoes for today because I would probably be doing a lot of walking around.

"You look hot today." Alex said smirking.

"Uh huh. You going to say that everyday?" I ask laughing.

"Maybe." he joked.

We left the room and walked down to the lobby. Aly and Mike were waiting by the front doors for us.

"Hey Aly, good night last night?" I ask walking up to them.

"Yeah, slept great." she said smiling.

"Let me guess, spent the night in Mike's hotel room huh?" I ask.

"What? No...okay I did. I was too tired to walk to my own room."

"Uh huh sure." I say back.

"He makes a good pillow, what can I say?"

"Where did you exactly sleep last night in the room?" I ask wondering.

"That's for me to know and you to never find out." Aly said snickering.

"The bed?" I ask.

"You know I did." she said smiling.

"Of course. Bet you enjoyed that."

"No, not at all." she said raising an eyebrow

Mike looks at her weird.

"Being sarcastic Mike." she explains.

I laugh.

"He hasn't really experienced Sassy has he?"

"No not really." Aly says smirking.

"Anyway can we get on with this autograph signing?" I ask.

"Yeah we shouldn't be late." Aly chimes in.

We head out and into a black suburban and head to where teh signings are going to be. We walk in and see all the people.

"Wow this is amazing, all those people lined up to see us." I point out.

"You get used to it." Mike says.

We all walk out when it's time and everyone cheers for us. We sit down in our designated seats and we start signing autographs and interacting with the fans. We got a lot of 'we love you' and 'we're your biggest fans'. I tell you, it's great to be appreciated and loved by people. We also took pictures with fans, and Mike did the typical thing of taking pictures with the United States Championship Belt. After hours of signings, we went back to the hotel to relax for a bit, then went to a small inside arena for the live show. The first match of the night happened to be a match of mine. I walk out of the curtain with Alex as my music sounds throughout the small arena. There wasn't much of a ramp, we just walked forward past people and to the ring.

"This match is scheduled for onefall. Introducing first from Cleveland Ohio, accompanied by Alex Riley, Carly!"

Alex gets up on the side of the ring first by the stairs as I climb up and face the way we came out. I look at Alex, then proceed to sit on the top rop and hook my feet around the middle. I bend back and do the move that Aly and I came up with to do. Alex comes into the ring after I get in and I do my poses and get pumped up for the match. My music fades as we wait to see who my opponent will be. That's when HER music hit, I'm talking about Michelle McCool. Her again? Seriously? And then I see who comes out with her and it's that damn Cody Rhodes.

"Ugh seriously?"

"Calm down babe, don't worry about him. Focus on the match okay?" Alex says to me to calm me down.

"Right, the match. Don't pay any attention to him. Hey do me a favor, he does anything knock him out for me?"

"You know I will."

They get into the ring and Cody just stares me down, well more like one of those seductive looks. Okay he's just creeping me out. Alex gives me a quick kiss and leaves the ring, and so does Cody. The bell rings and Cody distracts me for a few seconds for Michelle to try to sneak a pin on me, but I kick out. Damn him! I get up instantly and get in her face. We start talking to each other and then next thing I knew I was shoved by her. I turn and look aggravated, then I just knock her in her face. Cody keeps yelling things to me.

"Shut it Rhodes!"

I go over and grab her and pick her up and hoist her over my shoulder, then I drop her on the mat. I go for the pin, but she kicks out. I grab her by her foot and drag her into the middle of the ring. I stomp on both her ankles and then her hands. Yes I know I'm pulling a Randy Orton move, but hey got to learn some things from watching wrestling for years. I lean her up and put her in a submission hold, which she tries to get out of. She stands up and elbows me, making me let go of her. That's when she runs against the ropes and goes to hit me but I bend backwards avoiding her. Alex has a look on his face of shock, he can't believe I just avoided that, especially in that way. I run against the ropes and I clothesline Michelle. But I'm not done with her yet. I pick her up and throw her against the ropes, but she stops and holds onto them, that's when Cody starts yelling things again. Alex comes walking over to stop him, and I go over and start yelling at him.

"Stay out of this Rhodes! You're just jealous, stay away from me!"

That's when Michelle gets me from behind and goes for the pin. One, two three and she

gets it. Damn you Cody, you jerk. Michelle stands up and is amazed she won.

"Mess with me again!" she yells to me.

Then she climbs out of the ring. She and Cody walk backwards watching Alex come to my side making sure I'm alright. They walk backstage, and Alex helps me up and out of the ring. Once backstage, I was holding my neck from what Michelle did to me. I got some ice and held it on the back on my neck.

"Carly are you okay? I can't believe that ass, he cost you the match." Aly said coming up to me.

"I'm fine, my neck just hurts a bit. But I'll be fine, don't worry Aly."

"You sure?" she asks concerned.

"Yeah. I'm sure."

That's when Alex disappeared from my side and I hear him talking from the ring.

"Rhodes, you have crossed a line. You cost Carly her match, all because you're jealous! You have a problem, deal with me. But you got to stop harassing her!"

That's when Cody's music came on.

"Riley. Riley, Riley Riley. You don't seem to understand that she don't deserve you. You lost NXT, you're not a winner. You're a loser, and frankly I think she could do better."

"What, like you? You call yourself Dashing. From what I can see, you're less than dashing. Rhodes you're a disgrace!"

"And you're a NXT washup!"

"At least I made it to the finale, your rookie didn't! I made it because I'm the total package, and I'm not going anywhere. You'll never get Carly pretty boy!"

That's when Cody laughed and dropped the mic and ran into the ring and started beating up on Alex. They started going at each other, but Cody failed and Alex did his finisher on him.

"That's right pretty boy!" he said before leaving the ring.

He walked backstage and found me.

"How's your neck doing?" he asks.

"It's getting better. I'll be fine though. Hey Aly, good luck on your match tonight."

"Thanks. Even though I'll probably wont need it. Hope you feel better."

Then Alex and I walked backstage and found a place to sit.

~Aly's Match~

Her music hits and she run out all pumped up for the match.

"This match is scheduled for onefall. Introducing first from Chicago Illinois weighing in at 130 pounds, Sadie!"

She does the entrance move into the ring and poses as her music fade. She stands there eagerly waiting for her opponent. That's when her music hit, it was Maryse.

"Oh hell no, not her." she said to herself.

"And her opponent from Montreal Quebec Canada, accompanied by Ted Dibiase, Maryse!"

She struts down the walkway and walks onto the side of the ring, with Ted behind her. She then does that hair flip thing and Ted pretends to be like in love with it. Maryse helps him in the ring first, then he helps her in. She walks into the middle of the ring with him with her arm around him. Then he grabs a mic and the music fades.

"You know Sadie, I don't think you have what it takes to take on Maryse. I mean come on you just started in this business and Maryse well is more experienced than you. She's a former Diva's champion and what are you? A no good, non talented diva."

She just laughs at the comment and slaps him right across the face. Maryse tells him to back off and she'll handle it. The bell rings, signalling the start of the match. Aly goes after Maryse getting her into the corner, unleashing everything she has out on her. The ref backs her up, and Maryse recovers, but Aly kicks her into the corner again. Maryse goes for a powerful slap across the face and goes to clothesline her. But Aly gets out of the way and jumps up and kicks her, knocking her down for a few seconds. She goes in for the cover, but Maryse kicks out at 2. They both get up and Maryse punches her in the face, then throws her into the ropes and goes to throw her over her back, but it backfires on her and Aly kicks her in the face instead. She goes against the ropes again, and then grabs Maryse and throws her to the mat. She goes against the ropes a third time and does a flip and lands on Maryse, then going for the pin. But it was no good, because Maryse again kicked out at 2. Aly gets up, and Maryse crawls into the corner.

Aly runs and hits her, then picks her up and throws her over her shoulder to the mat. She starts climbing to the turnbuckle and gets ready for her finisher move. She jumps up and flips trying to land on Maryse, but Maryse rolls out of the way and Aly lands on her stomach. Ouch.

"Come on Maryse, get up!" Ted yells from outside.

Maryse gets up and grabs Aly by the hair and gets her in the position for her finisher. She tries to go for it but Aly counters and flips her backwards and goes for the pin again. But of course Maryse kicks out at 2. Maryse is at the ropes and Aly tries to pull her away, but Maryse kicks her and puts her in the lock for the finisher. She drops her on her head and goes for the pin. One, two , three and Maryse wins.

"The winner of this match, Maryse!"

Ted comes into the ring and congratulates Maryse. That's when Miz runs out, to make sure that Aly is okay. He slides into the ring as soon as Ted and Maryse leave. Aly is moving so that's good news.

"Lys, are you okay?" Miz asks.

"Miz? Yeah...I'm okay. I just need ice."

Miz helps her up and out of the ring. They head backstage and he gets some ice for her,

then they head to where Alex and I were, so that she could calm down and relax too.
