Melina opens the door to the dressing room and looks over to see Nattie sitting in front of the make-up mirror, applying her makeup on.
Nattie turns around to see who entered "Melina you made it!" Nattie says turning back to look at her reflection, while putting on her makeup.
"So are you excited girl!?" Nattie says while she now starts applying lipstick.
Melina sets her bag down and sits down on the bench "Yeah, im also kind of nervous." Melina says while staring at Nattie's wrestling boots.
Melina then starts rubbing her arm "I just wish I could be the one in the ring." Melina says still looking at Nattie's white boots.
Nattie get's up, to sit down on the bench "Look Melina I get it you want to wrestle, I mean that's why were all here, but you're not trained enough, you could injure somebody." Nattie says while putting on her boots.
"I know,I know!" Melina says while she get's up, to head for the make-up mirror.
Nattie get's up "Wow Ugh, Melina I have to go now, Showtime!" Nattie says while opening the door and looking down the hall.
Nattie slightly closes the door "Wish me luck Melina!" Nattie says while she turns back to Melina, and gives her a big smile.
Melina pauses from applying her blush "Wish you luck, wish me luck, this is my first time!" Melina says while laughing and peeking out to look at the wrestlers rushing down the hallway.
Melina then turns back to the mirror "So who are you going against tonight?" Melina says while she continues to apply her blush.
Nattie walks over to Melina "I'm doing my first big storyline, where me and Beth have a rivalry against the sweet on-screen Kelly Kelly and, guess who...Eve!" Nattie says while looking down at her phone.
Nattie looks up from her phone "I have to go now, Beth just texted me to start walking out." Nattie says as she turns, looks up at the ceiling and then ahead.
Nattie exits and Melina yells "Good luck Nattie!"
Nattie starts walking fast, she finally arrives to a room filled with black curtains, with white signals on them, while waiting, Nattie turns around only to see Eve walking her way.
Nattie then turns the other way and looks back to see if Beth Phoenix or Barbie are coming.
Eve stands on the other side of the staircase, as she starts looking around.
Nattie then looks down at her phone, and then also starts looking around.
Moments of awkward silence go by and finally Eve talks "So how have you been Nattie?" Eve says still looking ahead, and not at Nattie.
Nattie then slowly looks at Eve, and then back ahead "Amazing, my life is amazing and nobody unimportant will ever change that!" Nattie says still looking ahead, with a smirk.
Eve then chuckles "Ah, good for you Nattie, and trust me I don't care for you, meaning I won't try to ruin your life." Eve says turning to Nattie.
Nattie then rolls her eyes "Amazing, let's hope you are telling the truth." Nattie says as she turns to look at Eve.
Both of them looking at each other for the first time, face to face. Eve then crosses her arms "Well we'll have to find out." Eve says as she sarcastically smiles, as the wrestlers that were just out their walk by.
Beth Phoenix walks in and says "Hey Nattie were up, hurry let's go." Both Nattie and Beth look at Eve, and then walk out.
Eve then watches as Nattie and Beth walk out "Ugh." Eve says as she looks out for Barbie.
Nattie and Beth Phoenix appear with a microphone, as they start talking "We wanted to come out here to discuss with Kelly and her little sidekick!" Beth says as she turns to Nattie.
Nattie then turns to the audience "So Kelly and Eve why don't you come out here, and face us. Stop hiding, instead face what's coming!" Nattie says as she looks down, and thinks about her earlier conversation with Eve.
Finally Barbie and Eve start walking down the ramp, as they then start talking "Look Beth...and Natasha, or whatever your name is. I don't know what you're talking about because we have fought back." Eve says as she hands the microphone to Barbie.
Barbie watches her steps as she walks up the staircase "Do you guys see us, because were right in front of you, so what exactly did you want to discuss." Barbie says as she looks around at the audience.
Beth Phoenix starts laughing "We'll have to see." Beth says as she turns to look at Nattie, Nattie's eyes widen as she follows Beth out of the ring.
Eve then crosses her arms, and in a whisper "Wait, are you kidding me, wasn't that what i said." Eve whispers as she awkwardly stands in the ring with Barbie.
Later Nattie, Beth and Barbie start walking backstage.
"So what was that whole thing with Eve earlier today?" Beth says as she looks around at all the backstage show equipment, and at all the people walking around.
"I don't even know,but it was defiantly uncomfortable." Nattie says, as she waves to a person walking by.
She then turns back to Beth "The only thing I know is that she will never get to me, I will continue to live my life." Nattie says looking ahead.
Barbie then changes the subject "So my contract is almost expiring." Barbie says as she looks down.
Nattie then comforts her "Wow, already, so what are you going to do!" Nattie says, still trying to comfort her.
"The thing is that I don't know if I should re-sign or if I should just let it expire, and do other things?" Barbie says as she finally looks ahead.
"I honestly don't know what to tell you." Nattie says as she turns, to open the dressing room door.
Nattie opens the door and says "Melina, so what did you think of me out their?"
Barbie quickly interrupts "And me?" Barbie then looks over to Beth "Oh and Beth!" Barbie says, as they all start to laugh.
Melina smiling says "I thought you guys were amazing!" Melina says as she pauses and looks in the mirror.
Nattie puts her water bottle down and says "Aww thank you, anyways how are you feeling about you being out their?" Nattie says, while she finally sits down.
Melina then turns to Nattie and says "Gosh, I mean you're not going to believe it, but their was a last-minute change, instead of just talking i will be getting a good slap and a kick?"
Melina starts to walk back and forth, fast, while panicking "Nattie how do I make a kick and slap look real!?" Melina says, as she sits down.
Nattie then walks over to Melina "Melina, calm down i'm pretty sure people will buy it." Nattie says as she turns to Beth and Barbie.
"Wait who is slapping and kicking you?" Beth says as she walks over to Melina.
Melina then looks up "I don't know, they didn't tell me!" Melina says while her stomach starts getting into knots. Melina then get's up and says "I should probably start leaving." Melina breathes in, and then heads for the exit.
Nattie, along with Barbie and Beth, start to head for the make-up mirror "Don't show them you're scared. Good luck, oh and for heaven sakes calm down!" Nattie says, while she starts to remove her makeup.
Melina starts walking down the hall, as she places her blond and brown extensions, and rushes through all the people, the further she get's the more she can hear the crowd.
I can't believe I'm about to go out their, i just can't even take it in, so i'm about to put on a show for a full crowd, i'm about to join and entertain along with all of these other stars. I'm going to go out their and put on a show, a great one.
Melina then reaches to open the curtains, she freezes with nervousness as she sees all the audience, but then shakes it off.
Let's do this!
Melina's theme song comes on. She then feels the coldness in the giant arena, Melina looks around at all the people watching, Melina tries to hide her nervousness by managing to keep her heel look.
Melina continues to walk down the ramp, without making contact with all the desperate fans waiting to get high-fived.
Melina reaches the small staircase that leads to the ring, Melina looking over at the ring, starts stepping when all of a sudden she trips, the referee rushes over to Melina, to help her get up. Melina get's up, tuckles her skirt down, and then continues in the ring. Melina laughs it off lightly, so that she could hide her embarrassment.
Melina grabs the microphone and starts talking "I am Melina, and tonight is my night, it is the grand debut of me, Melina Perez and..."
The Bella Twins theme song plays and interrupts Melina, The Bella Twins walk down the ramp as they high-five all the fans, they rush to the ring, with their red ruffles and roses in their hair, they quickly grab a microphone.
"Melina this isn't your night, this is the people's night and you're not the only one that is debuting tonight!" The Bella Twins say while they turn to look around at the audience, that is cheering for them.
Melina walks over to the Bella's "This is my night, how dare you interrupt me, you don't even know what you're talking about!" Melina says as she starts yelling at the Bella Twins and the audience.
Brie then slaps Melina, quickly after, Nikki kicks Melina, the audience get's up and starts cheering for the Bella Twins!
The show then ends, and Melina get's up to walk away, when both of the Bella's walk over to Melina "Hi, so wow I think we did good!" Brie says while catching her breath, and getting out of the ring.
Melina then follows out of the ring "Yeah I do too, I was so scared because they told me about the kick and the slap last-minute!" Melina says while looking back at the audience, as they start to leave.
"So was today really your debut?" Nikki asks while she opens up a water bottle.
"Well my actual debut was yesterday,today was just my show debut!" Melina says as she looks over to see, as people start to pick up the equipment and start cleaning, Melina then turns to stare at Nikki.
"We debuted today!" Brie says while looking back and forth at Nikki and Melina.
Melina still staring at Nikki "Wow you guys debuted on a show night." Melina says while shaking her head and turning to Brie.
Brie then turns to Nikki "Yeah everybody has told us that they didn't debut on a show night, and that when they did debut, they didn't debut on the show until months or even years later!" Brie says as she wipes the sweat away from her forehead.
Melina then smiles "Wow so we are kind of lucky then!" Melina says while looking at Nikki, as she takes off her red rose from her dark brown hair.
Brie then looks at Nikki, and then back at Melina "Yeah I guess we are, So me and my sister have to go now, but it was nice working with you." Brie says, while now she takes off her rose.
"Yeah it was nice putting a show with you, well see you!" Melina says.
Nikki then turns around, to walk away "Yeah it was nice meeting you!" Brie says as she also quickly turns, to catch up to her to sister.
Melina then starts walking away, while curling her hair. She turns around to look at the Bella's, as they walk off,she looks at the ground, then up and smiles.
