Starrring~ Melina Perez, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Eve Torres, and Nattie Neidhart.
"Everybody have a seat, please," Stephanie McMahon said, as she walks over to sit in the front seat of the room.
Stephanie then starts going through her paperwork. Meanwhile, Waiting, Everybody turns around to look at Melina, rushing through the door to sit down.
Melina, out of breath from rushing, and covered with somewhat of sweat, sits down. She then turns, to look at who she sat next to, she then gazes around to see who else is in the room, as she is gazing around, her eyes run into Nattie, Nattie then waves and smiles, Melina smiles and waves back. She then turns to look ahead, as Stephanie finally starts talking.
"Okay first group, please stand up. Okay, And Tell us what ideas, for your storyline, you came up with," Stephanie says while checking off the group's name.
Eve quickly get's up from the corner seat of the room, shortly after, Nattie and Beth get up, to follow Eve, to the front of the room.
Eve then turns to look at her fellow Wrestlers, "I'm Eve," Eve says, holding her paper with ideas.
"I'm Beth, that's Nattie, and that is Barbie," Beth says, as she finishes pointing, she then steps back to let Barbie walk by.
Barbie finishes walking, she stands next to Nattie and suggests, "I was thinking about allowing other female wrestlers, take part in our storyline."
Eve shakes her head and, now gives her suggestion, "I was thinking about me turning heel on Kelly, and then maybe join Beth, and later turn on her."
Nattie, rolling her eyes and pointing to herself, says, "Hold up, where would I fit into all of this," Nattie, still crossing her arms, looks over at Eve.
"Right, well, like Barbie said, maybe we could bring newer faces to the storyline," Eve replies, as she bends over, to look over at Barbie and Nattie.
Nattie looks over at Eve, and says, "I totally agree with giving other talent chances, duh I have been that under-rated talent throughout most of my career, but..."
Eve quickly interrupts her, "But what, are you afraid of being cut from this storyline, I'm just trying to help the storyline out," Eve says, still crossing her arms, and now, again, rolling her eyes.
Nattie quickly shoots back, "Really, are you calling me selfish, because all I'm saying, is that we just got into this storyline to start adding people, plus we don't even have any plans on how to add those people."
Eve turns to Stephanie and says, "I can't even, right now, I can't work with people like this." Eve then starts heading back, towards her seat.
"Like what, Eve you are so dramatic, and if anybody is selfish, it's you." Nattie exclaims, she also then starts heading to her seat.
"Please Natalya, you are a pathetic old hag, that can't even improve her career," Eve shouts from her seat.
Nattie yells back, "Whatever Eve, you are pathetic, and I'm only older than you by a few years. Oh and I will grow and improve, you just watch me as i freaking blast off!"
"Nattie," Beth says as she walks over to Nattie, to calm her down.
"Enough of this non-sense fighting, Barbie please have a seat," Stephanie says, she shakes her head, and waits for Barbie to sit down.
After several groups of going up, Melina and her group, get called up last.
"Melina, Nikki and Brie. Please get up, and tell us what ideas you came up with." Stephanie says, as she looks down at her group list, to wait for them.
Both of the Bella's quickly get up, Nikki cheerfully smiling, says, "I'm Brie Bella!"
Brie, unsure, looks at Nikki, with no clue on what she is doing, "And I'm, Nikki Bella," Brie says, as she points to herself.
Nikki then gives Brie a wink, to show her to just play along, "Actually I'm Nikki," Nikki says, as she lightly chuckles.
Brie, smiles, "Actually I'm Brie," Brie says, as little dance moves start coming out of her.
"Actually were the Bella Twins," Both of the Twin Sisters say, while hugging each other by the neck.
Everybody in the room let out a laugh, and Melina, who is standing next to them, smiles, as she is amazed with Brie's dancing, and with their intro in general.
Stephanie looks at them, and says, "Is that one of your ideas, because i thought it was brilliant, since you guys are very identical, I really bought it!"
"Yeah, sure, if you liked it, then yeah, we'll be glad to use it for a show night," Nikki says, as she pulls her hair back, and starts smiling, while looking over at her sister.
"Perfect, and sorry, but I didn't get your name," Stephanie says, looking at Melina, and at the flower crown that Melina is wearing.
"I'm Melina," Melina says, as she nervously looks at Stephanie.
"Wait, What's your name?" Brooke Tessmacher asks, as she starts curling her brown hair.
"No, No, She already said her name," Stephanie says, she raises her glasses, and looks at Melina, and at her group with a smile.
Stephanie get's up, and asks, "Okay, Melina, did you come up with any ideas?"
"Uh, actually," Melina says, she turns to look at all the people watching her, "No, I didn't," Melina says, while looking down at her pastel, light-colored, bead bracelet.
Melina starts walking back to her seat, "Sorry," Melina says, lightly.
"Okay then," Stephanie says, while waiting for the Bella's to also walk off.
Stephanie walks up to the front of the room, "Well, that was pretty much it, you guys are dismissed," Stephanie says, while she goes through her files, as everybody get's up to leave.
Melina slowly get's up, and waits until everybody else passes her.
Nikki and Brie, both, walk pass Melina, and then turn back to her, "Don't worry I was able to hear you," Brie says, as she gives Melina a smile.
"Yeah I also heard you," Nikki says, as she looks at everybody walking pass them.
"Thanks guys. But it really didn't get me, i'm fine," Melina says, she looks over the Bella's shoulders, to see Brooke looking their way, Melina looks away, and smiles, "Okay," Melina says.
"Well, that makes you the bigger, and better person," Brie says, she then looks at her sister, Nikki, and then at Melina, with another smile.
Melina smiles back, and lifts up her white flower crown, "Yeah, I guess it does," Melina says, as she starts walking out the door, with the Bella Twins.
Brie, along with her sister, follow Melina out the door, "So, I could tell that you did have more to say, I can tell you had ideas floating. So me and my sister are free today, and well, if you want to work on our storyline, later," Brie says.
Melina turns to look at Brie, "Yeah I would love that, I mean if you guys are up for it," Melina says.
"Well, duh, that's why we asked, let's meet in the developmental center," Nikki says, as she looks out the window, and down where the developmental center is.
"Okay, and that is the first building in the campus, right?" Melina asks, while looking ahead.
"Yeah, meet us their after school," Nikki says, as she and her sister turn to walk the other way.
"Well, see you there Melina," Brie says, she looks at Melina, with one last smile, as she turns to walk with her sister.
Melina smiles back, "Yeah, see you their," Melina says, as she walks the other way.
A smirk appears on Eve's face, as she walks over to Barbie, "Barbie, Hi, So, I heard about your contract almost expiring."
Barbie moves her hair with her finger, she smiles and replies, "Yeah, It's less than a month from expiring."
"Wow, really, So what are you going to do?" Eve asks Barbie, as they start walking down the hall.
Barbie looks out the window, and replies, "I don't know, there is two choices I have; Either re-sign and continue, or let them release me, so that I could concentrate on my modeling career."
"I think you should just let them release you, because no offense, or anything, but your wrestling career sucks. I mean all you have done, in the past 5 years is; stripping, fighting in matches with under-rated wrestlers, and a bunch of small storylines, which you always got the smaller part, and they wasted your time, I mean, I don't remember you, winning championships, or being in main event storylines. They really did waste your time, if I were you, I would just leave this school, as quickly as possible, because the sooner the better," Eve says turning, to make sure she didn't hurt Barbie's feelings.
Barbie finally turns back from the window, and replies, "I don't even know Eve, I mean that is the truth, but I don't know if modeling will be any easier, and I have been here for so long, that leaving would just be, so hard for me."
"Yeah, I understand, but if modeling is too hard, you can at least say you tried," Eve says, smiling and heading for the door.
Barbie follows Eve outside, "I'll think about it, and I'll make sure to tell you," Barbie says, while she turns to walk away.
Barbie turns around to look at Eve, "Oh and Eve, thanks for making me feel better," Barbie says, sarcastically, as she let's out a chuckle, and then walks away.
Brie opens the door, to see Melina, staring out the window, as the sun gleams all over the room, and Nikki following her in.
Melina looks across the ring, to look at the Bella's, "My favorite twins," Melina says.
"Sweet," Brie says while walking to Melina.
Nikki takes off her sunglasses, "Shall we talk in the ring," Nikki says, heading for the ring.
"That sounds like a reasonable idea, since we are practicing, wrestling-like material," Brie says, while getting a grip of one of the ring ropes, to get up.
"So I was thinking about you guys doing your twin intro, you know the one you did earlier," Melina says, as she starts walking in the ring.
"Yeah, and I was also thinking about, adding some dance moves," Brie says, fixing her hair.
Melina, staring at Brie's hair, admiring it, says "Sounds like an amazing idea, if you guys have dance moves!"
"Oh it is on, comon Brie let's show her how we move," Nikki says, spreading her arms, to make sure she has enough space to dance.
"Okay, let's see what you guys have," Melina says, as she get's out of the ring, to sit in the front chairs, to watch.
Brie scrolls through her music library, as she finally plays, 'I Could Fall In Love' by Selena.
The Twins then start choreographing, Brie mastering every move, while Nikki tries to follow.
Melina watches Brie, while 'I Could Fall In Love' plays in the background. She watches as the sunshine hits Brie's white shirt-dress, and as her cow-girl boots move in the sun's orange reflection.
The sisters finish dancing, and make their way to the ropes, "So what did you think?" Brie asks Melina, while the same song is still playing.
"I thought you guys were amazing," Melina replies, making her way into the ring.
"Thank you, So what ideas did you come up with?" Nikki asks, following Melina and Brie, to sit in a corner of the ring.
"I was thinking about making furry boots my trademark, and having this unique entrance, which I created," Melina says fast and excited, almost loosing Brie and Nikki.
"Woah, and I knew it, you did have ideas to share," Brie says, while smiling. "So your entrance, tell us about it," Brie says, while staring into Melina's light brown eyes.
Melina looks at Brie, and then smiles, she then says "So when I walk out, I would have a bunch of paparazzi snap photos of me, fake of course, and the way I would enter the ring, is by doing the splits!"
"I like it," Nikki says, while turning to look at Melina, and then out the window.
"Thanks, and I liked your dancing," Melina says, as she looks into Brie's brown eyes.
"This is probably random, but I like your flower crown, and your honey brown eyes," Brie says, with a smile.
"Thank you, and I like your hair, and your outfit, it's very simple, and I also like your eyes," Melina says, also with a smile.
"And, I like the awkwardness, in the room," Nikki says, while giggling and play-hitting Brie in the arm. Nikki looks down at her phone, and checks what time is it, "Brie, we have to go now," Nikki says, as she get's up.
"Oh shoot, we do," Brie says, as she too, get's up. "Well, it was lovely practicing and all, but we have to go," Brie says, while double-checking the time on her phone.
"Yeah, I had fun doing this," Melina says, as she too get's up.
"Well see you later, Melina," Nikki says, stepping out of the ring, and waiting for her sister, Brie.
"Yeah, bye Nikki," Melina says. She start's walking, to get out of the ring, when Brie holds the top rope and places her foot on the lower rope, to help Melina out.
Melina, follows Brie's gesture, she get's out, and gives Brie a smile.
"Thanks," Melina says, turning to Brie, as all three girls walk out of the room.
"No problem," Brie says, opening the door, as the orange sun, shadows them perfectly.
Melina arrives to the front of the building, as she pulls out her earphones and iPod, to play Honey & The Moon by Joseph Arthur, she then looks over as she sees the Bella's heading for their ride.
Nikki turns back "Bye, Melina," Nikki says while getting in the car.
Melina smiles and waves back, as she slightly turns up the volume to Honey & The Moon.
Brie looks out the window, from the passenger seat, and gives Melina a small wave, she then turns away.
Daniel, The Bella's ride and Brie's boyfriend, then starts driving.
Melina turns, to see as The Bella's car is driving her way, she looks down, but then quickly back up, and tucks her hands in her pockets.
They turn to a corner, where Melina is standing, and Brie looks out the window, to look at Melina, while the sunrays hit Brie's Eyes.
Melina looks through the window, to look at Brie, they both make short eye contact, but the car drives off and breaks the contact.
Melina watches as they drive off, down the road, while still listening to the same song, Honey & The Moon.
Brie turns her head back, to look at Melina, as Melina stands their waiting, and as the orange sun makes the scenery even more beautiful.
Brie continues to look back at Melina and the beautiful sun-filled scenery behind her, only to get her view blocked by a car, Melina's ride.
Brie still looks back, but quickly turns, to look out her window, as Nikki finally looks up from her phone.
