Chapter 4

"Alright ladies, here's our tentative schedule for training. Monday through Wednesday we practice moves, Thursday and friday we watch footage and learn some things to bring back that quality of wrestling. You're going to hate me, I know. Most of you are probably thinking 'why is she in charge?' Fact of the matter is, I asked and I recieved. But i do want us all working together. Who wants to improve their skills?"

A few of the Divas raised their hands, still unsure of what was going on. I didn't blame them. This was sudden and now the cameras had started filming for the first episodes of the show. it was a lot to deal with and even I wasn't used to it.

"So what exactly are we going to do with this training? We already learned the basics." Eva Marie said.

"Basics can only get you so far. We need to learn other things, other moves to set us apart. To make us actually visible to the WWE Universe. Does anyone want to actually get in the ring and wrestle more than 2 minutes?"

Only a few more hands. Damn, what exactly are they teaching these girls.

"Ok, who enjoys being only used and packaged as a sex object? Something for the guys to look at for a few seconds before they get bored?"

"Well when you put it that way it seems kind of harsh." Cameron added.

"That's because it is! You guys have got to see that they aren't taking your wrestling seriously! Now I know that you guys have worked to get where you are and it's absolutely ok to want to be sexy. Trish Stratus' character was sexy all the time, but she was great because she backed it up with the moves and the skills. Now who wants to prove that you can be strong, sexy, and talented?" This is when every girl raised their hands. Exactly what I wanted to see.

"Who wants to prove that they can be badass and that they can do anything the guys can?" Surprisingly enough all the girls kept their hands raised. A few smiles were exchanged and they seemed genuinely excited. I got even more pumped up. Working with these girls might be actually amazing.

"Awesome! I'm glad to hear it. Some of my goals is to get an all women's Royal Rumble and a Women's Money in The Bank match. We'd get out own briefcase with a contract and a Diva can cash it in at any time for the title, just like the men do."

"So you want us to work with ladders and stuff?" Paige asked.

"Ladders and tables and chairs, the whole 9 yards. Now we're going to experience pain and it'll be scary and you might even suffer some injuries. But you girls have got to be willing to do this to prove that you're athletes. we're not all delicate flowers. We're women. We bleed, we give birth, we kick ass. That's what we do."

"But that's really scary. I don't think i've ever gotten hit with a chair before." Eva said softly. The worry was clear across her face.

I put my hand on her shoulder in and effort to comfort her. "Trust me that shit hurts like hell. And it is terrifying getting on top of a ladder and throw yourself down towards the mat. But the crowd goes wild and you get so much respect for it. We're obviously aren't going to practice this stuff tomorrow, It'll be`a process."

The doors to the gym swung open and we all turned our attention to see who had come in. It was Stephanie, stepping over the training mats in her high heels. How pretencious...

"Hello ladies, I hope Leena has been working you hard. Hopefully you all know that she won't be the only one teaching you. Paul and I have carefully chosen another woman to help guide you."

"Oh god, who could they have possibly picked?" I muttered. But that was before I saw the auburn hair and tattoos. My heart felt like it had completely stopped working. I couldn't even breathe. There she was, my idol, my hero, about to be working beside me. The most perfect human being to ever grace the squared ring.

"As I'm sure you know, this is Amy Dumas, otherwise known as Lita. We heard Leena wanted to help you guys improve on your aerial moves and she agreed to help. She won't be returning to WWE or anything, just solely here for practice." Stephanie turned to me. I had taken shelter behind Natalya too nervous to even say anything. "Leena, are you alright?"

"I think she's a little shell shocked. All she's been talking about is watching videos of Lita and the Hardy boys and how great Lita is." Naomi quipped.

"That's her. She's there, like right there!" I whispered.

Natalya nodded and shoved me out from behind her. "Uh, yeah, now go introduce yourself!"

Lita smiled at me and extended her hand. "I've heard so much about you."

Oh my god, has she really? I hope it's been nothing but good things. Fuck... I gripped her hand and shook it, almost bursting into tears at that very moment. "I-it's nice to m-meet you. I've been a fan of yours since I was a kid. This is amazing that you've decided to help me. I'm so grateful."

"Hey, it's no problem. Even I know this division has kind of gone to shit." She whispered so Stephanie couldn't hear. "I'm excited to practice with you guys. This is definitely going to be awesome."


"DEAN SHE SAID WORKING WITH ME WAS GONNA BE AWESOME!" I said as i shook him violently. I was just too excited. I couldn't keep this news to myself any longer.

Dean grabbed my face. "STOP FUCKING SHAKING ME!"

I released his shoulders and stared at him wide eyed. "Sorry, I'm just really pumped."

"I get that dude. That's some pretty awesome news. So training went well?"

"Yeah, it was awesome! The best part is the girls seemed genuinely interested in getting better. And after like an hour or two I got used to the cameras being there. It wasn't too bad." i said.

"Cool, cool. So you wanna get something to eat? I'm starving." Dean asked.

"Actually I need you to come with me to the airport."

"What for?"

"Does a 6 foot, naturally blonde Russian give you any incentive?"

"Wait, like Lana Russian or like Russian- Russian?" He questioned, cocking his eyebrow slightly.

"Like straight from the country, i've got a dream and green card to wrestle, Russian."

"So, like...what's in it for me?"

"I am going to personally set you up with her. She's one of my best friends and she hasn't met that "perfect American man" yet. You my friend are going to get laid."

The excitement in his eyes was just like a kid on Christmas morning. I had never seen him so happy before. It was funny and adorable at the same time. After all the shit we put him through he deserved something good for once.

"What are we waiting for! Let's get to the damn airport!" Dean hopped into the rental and I followed, laughing the entire time.

"You're so excited!"

"Fuck yeah I am!...Oh but on a more serious note, how is it with you, Seth and Rome?"

"It's...bittersweet. Like I know they still want to be with me, which is great but I did something shitty and they're very guarded now. I don't blame them but at the same time I don't know how exactly to go about pursing either of them. I'm just doing baby steps and hoping I don't fuck up again."

"Hey, everybody's gotta fuck up sometimes. That's what being human is all about. You already know what you did is wrong, there's no use wallowing in it. You've just gotta hakuna mattata that shit and move forward." Dean said.

"Can you put that on my gravestone? 'Hakuna Matata that shit.'"

"Whatever you want, Princess." he chuckled.


As you can tell I always put Lita on a pedestal. She's pure perfection to me. And I'm sure everyone hates Leena by now
