I went with the flow on this and just had fun. Good luck to Kamden as well.
Can't wait to see where you go with Michelle McCool. =)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Danielle Moinet, better known on screen as Summer Rae, jumped when her cell phone began to ring. She was caught of guard, not expecting any phone calls. She hit ignore on her phone without looking to see who it was, and continued to walk down an empty corridor. Most of the staff was busy elsewhere, preparing for the upcoming Warfare. Her phone rang again and she decided to answer it.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: This is Danielle.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: Hey, it's Curtis.
It was her coworker, also known as Fandango.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Hey. Where the hell are you? I'm already here and I can't find you anywhere. It doesn't look like we're even on the show tonight.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: We aren't. I'm not there either.
Danielle stopped walking and paused.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: What do you mean you aren't here?
curtis.hussey;;fandango: Dani, that's why I'm calling you. I won't be coming back...
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Uhh.. why?
curtis.hussey;;fandango: I was released. I'm no longer employed for EBWF.
Danielle's eyes bulged in shock at the news. She hadn't heard anything about this. Danielle could feel her chest tighten with panic. Did this mean she was out of a job as well? Her and Curtis had signed with the company at the beginning of summer and everything had been a success for them. What could this all mean for them now?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Wait-what... why?
curtis.hussey;;fandango: I don't know. They let a lot of the roster go. You haven't heard about this?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: No! Obviously not. What the hell is going on? Does this mean I'm out of a job as well?
Danielle bit her bottom lip. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Everything had been going so well. Or so she had thought.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: I have no idea, Dani. They haven't contacted you about anything?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Not at all! Shit, this can't be good.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: Maybe you need to call Steph and see what's going on.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I will. What about you? What are you going to do?
Curtis sighed in an exaggerated manner. A few silent moments passed before he cleared his throat and spoke over the phone again.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: I don't know. I guess I can go back to Vince and beg for my job back.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Will that work? He was so pissed when we jumped onboard with the enemy ship.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: He was beyond pissed, Dani. I've never seen the vein in his forehead bulge out so much. Nor have I ever seen someone turn that shade of red.
Danielle half laughed at the memory. Vince hated to lose talent, especially to the EBWF. She remembered how he had screamed at Curtis. Telling him that he had made him what he is. That he could destroy him. Then he continued to try and guilt both of them into staying. He had asked them how they could walk away and turn their backs on the company that had taken them in and built them up. Vince had a valid point. However, EBWF was the top dog in the wrestling world. You'd have to be stupid to let go of a chance to work for the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. The up in pay didn't exactly hurt either.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Hopefully it works.
A settle beep was heard on Danielle's phone, signaling that another call was coming through on her cell phone.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Call me and keep me updated. I'll let you know what's going on with me as soon as I find out. I have to take this other call.
curtis.hussey;;fandango: Will do.
Danielle hung up with Curtis and went to answer the other call. She missed it by a few seconds. She didn't recognize the number.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Who the hell is this now?
She muttered under her breath and sighed. The phone alerted her there was a voicemail so she quickly went to check it. It was a voicemail from Stephanie McMahon. She wanted to speak with Danielle right away. Danielle exited out of her voicemail, she could feel her stomach tighten up in a knot. This couldn't be good. How was she going to react if she was being let go? This job was her dream and she felt she was just getting started. To have it all ripped away from her so soon would be devastating. Danielle put her phone away and headed towards Stephanie's office. She knew she might as well get this over with as quickly as possible. Instead of prolonging the mental torture or not knowing whether you had a job or not.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Keep it together, Dani.
She muttered this to herself as she stood right outside of Stephanie's office. Her gaze traveled over the name label on the door. She inhaled and exhaled slowly. As she was about to knock, Stephanie pulled the door open. Both women jumped in place, caught off guard by one another.
stephanie.mcmahon;; Oh. Hey there Danielle. Glad to see you received my voicemail. Please come in. Have a seat.
Danielle nodded and walked into the small office.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I'm sorry I missed your call. I tried to get here as quickly as I could.
She took a seat in front of Stephanie's desk and tried her best to appear relaxed. Danielle looked around the office. She remembered it being less cramped and not so bland. There were no pictures or decorations, the tiny office was rather impersonal. And had it always been this small? Now her mind was wandering, nervous about what Stephanie needed to talk to her about.
stephanie.mcmahon;; I actually wasn't expecting you so soon. I was on my way out to tend to something. But since you're here, we might as well talk.
Oh god, here it comes. Danielle tensed up. Her whole world was about to fall apart, she could feel it. It just wasn't fair, it was down right cruel. Danielle tried not to say anything and wait for Stephanie to talk, but she couldn't help it. She panicked.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Stephanie, I don't know what I did but I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!
Stephanie paused and looked at Danielle without any expression on her face. This freaked Danielle out even more.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I love this company. Please... please don't let me go. I've dreamt of working here for so long, and I worked so hard to even get a chance. Now I'm here and I can't just sit quietly while it gets ripped away from me. I have been so grateful for everything you all have done for me since I signed in May. I know Curtis was released and my whole gimmick was his dancing partner, but I can offer so much more now. Just... give me a chance. I'm not one to beg, but in this circumstance, I will do just about anything. Please, Steph, give it some more thought before you let me go.
Stephanie sat back in her chair and didn't say a word for a moment. Suddenly a smirk appeared on Stephanie's face.
stephanie.mcmahon;; Release you? Danielle, I'm not here to let you go.
Danielle practically had tears building in her eyes at this point. She looked up at Steph with confusion. Danielle tried to quickly wipe the tears away from her eyes. She didn't understand what was going on. She had been so sure...
stephanie.mcmahon;; Danielle, relax. I called you here to tell you that under much consideration, Mr. Jericho and Mr. Ikeda were interested in making you an offical EBWF Diva. We have a few new Divas hired on and thought this would be the perfect time to bring you into the ring. I'm sure you will do just fine, having previous experience working with Eva Marie and the Bella twins.
Danielle relaxed as Stephanie's words sank in. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Oh my gosh! Thank you!! I was expecting the worst with all the recently released... you know. Anyways, I can't believe this! Thank you!
Danielle jumped up and walked around the desk to hug Stephanie on impulse. She was so excited. Stephanie half smiled and Summer stepped back.
stephanie.mcmahon;; Handshake would have sufficed.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I'm so sorry, I wasn't even thinking. Thank you Stephanie. You won't regret this!
Danielle could hardly contain herself. She almost walked out of the office without finding out when her debut match would be.
stephanie.mcmahon;; Don't you want to know when your debut is?
Danielle stopped in place.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Yes, of course. I'm so ecstatic that I forgot that huge bit of information.
Stephanie nodded her hand and Danielle half laughed.
stephanie.mcmahon;; We'll have you booked for the next Warfare. You will be facing Michelle McCool. Good luck out there, and congratulations on officially becoming one of the newest EBWF Divas.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Thank you Stephanie! It's such an honor to go from valet to a Diva. I promise you won't regret it.
She walked out of Stephanie's office and walked down the hallway. Danielle couldn't believe how sure she had been about her career crashing to an end, yet the total opposite ended up happening. This was quite possibly one of the best days of her entire life.
Summer Rae had just arrived at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin U.S Cellular Arena for Warfare. This event was a huge deal for the young blonde. She had made sure to arrive with plenty of time to prepare for the show. Summer knew she had a lot to get ready for. Tonight was her debut. She was getting the opportunity of a lifetime. She would finally get a chance to go from a dancing valet, to an actual EBWF Diva. This was something she had been dreaming of for quite some time and now she was finally here. Summer had a certain confidence about her as she walked down the corridors backstage.
michael.cole;;: Summer Rae! Summer! Does this mean... he's back? Where is he?!
Michael Cole almost seemed too excited. He looked from side to side, in search of someone off screen. Summer cocked one of her perfectly groomed eyebrows at Michael.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Who the hell is "he"?
michael.cole;;: Fandango!
Summer scoffed and rolled her eyes.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Fandango? Forget Fandango!
michael.cole;;: What do you mean forget him? He's Fahhhnnndahhnn-
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: He is soooo... yesterday. Old news. He had his spotlight in 2013. Now his time has expired and he's probably off standing in some unemployment line, along with so many others.
michael.cole;;: That's a bit harsh. I thought you would for sure follow along with him... where ever he will end up at.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Why would I do a stupid thing like that? EBWF wasn't going to let a gold mine like myself just walk out the door. I'm the one that's responsible for making Fandango famous. He would have been nothing without me! Everyone knows that. Especially the EBWF. I mean honestly, Michael, are you really surprised? Look at me. I belong here!
Summer Rae waved her hands down the sides of her body and shook her hips a little in a suggestive manner.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I'm hot, I'm young, and I'm talented! I'm the total package EBWF has been in desperate need of. I've already proven that I have the moves outside of the ring with my flawless dancing. Now it's time to step it up and prove what I can accomplish in the ring.
michael.cole;;: It appears the EBWF universe will get to witness your official debut match on Warfare against newcomer Michelle McCool. Any thoughts that you would like to share about this?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Ah, yes. I heard about this match. My assistant informed me earlier.
michael.cole;;: You have an assistant? For... what exactly?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Yeah. Sasha. Don't worry yourself with her. She's of no importance. This is my moment in the spotlight! it's all about me, me, me. It's all about Summer Rae!
Summer Rae practically beamed with confidence. Probably too much confidence, considering the amount of talented women that the EBWF employs.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Anyways. Let's just talk about my match with McCool.
michael.cole;;: Certainly.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: It appears that Michelle and I have a little in common. It looks like we're both women with something to prove around here.
michael.cole;;: Actually, Michelle McCool hasn't lost a match yet.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Is that so? Interesting..
Summer pursed her lips as though that changed her opinion of Michelle McCool. Of course it didn't.
michael.cole;;: Certainly impress-
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: NOT!
michael.cole;;: What?
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: It's really not. So, she got lucky once or twice? Big deal! She won't have it so easy against someone like me. I'm Summer Rae. I'm fierce!
Someone walked over towards Summer, just out of camera range. Slowly the camera pans back to reveal Angelina Love and her tag team partner, Velvet Sky. Both women had their womens tag team titles around their waists. Angelina rested the Women's championship over her shoulder and let out a mocking laugh.
lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Well, well, well. What in the hell did the cat drag in today, Vel?
Velvet eyed up Summer Rae in a disapproving manner. Angelina shook her head and sighed. Velvet crossed her arms across her chest.
jamie.szantyr;;velvet.sky: Looks like roster fodder to me.
lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing.
Summer Rae scoffs and furrows her brows at them.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Excuse me?
lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Yes, excuse you. Excuse you for just waltzing into this place, thinking you're some big deal! Are you kidding me? You are exactly the kind of trash I have been bitching about for months! Just a bunch of pretty face nobodies, thrown on the roster to take up space. Are you too old for lingerie football these days? You already tried to ruin one sport, now you're here to ruin wrestling too?
Summer Rae huffed up at being disrespected by the blonde Canadian.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: You bitch!
Summer Rae lunged forward but Angelina had already been expecting her. Angelina slapped Summer across the face with such force, the sound of the slap was picked up by Michael Cole's microphone. Summer yelped and held her face. Angelina grabbed Summer Rae's ring attire and pulled her close. The Women's champion got in the young blondes face and glared deep into her eyes.
lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Know your place little girl. I can and WILL destroy you! Tread carefully.
Angelina hissed at Summer before she let go of the fabric to Summer's attire.
lauren.williams;;angelina.love: Fierce? Hardly!
Angelina laughed along with Velvet. The two walked off the scene, leaving Summer Rae behind. Summer glared after them. Michael Cole continued asking if she was okay, but she didn't break her intense glare on the Beautiful People as they walked away.
michael.cole;;: Summer? ... Summer, are you okay?
Summer blinked a few times and shook her head.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: Yeah... yeah, I'm fine.
Summer pushed Cole back from her and glared back in the direction the duo had disappeared in. She huffed and looked back at Michael Cole.
danielle.moinet;;summer.rae: I'll deal with those two later. Tonight, I have my hands full with Michelle McCool.
michael.cole;;: Best of luck to you tonight.
Summer huffed and held her face. She walked off without another word to Michael Cole. The scene faded out to another segment.
