*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Danielle sat up in her hotel bed in one quick motion. Her cell phone alarm was going off, which caused the man laying next to her to turn over and groan in protest. She quickly reached over and shut the alarm off before placing her phone back on the nightstand.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Dammit...

Muttering to herself before she threw the sheet off of herself, and stood up from the bed, completely nude. Danielle shivered, the cold air attacking her bare skin. The bottoms of her feet practically dragged across the rough carpet of the hotel, as she made her way over to her Louis Vuitton suitcase. Danielle had stayed up way too late the night before, so her energy levels felt dangerously low. She needed her Starbucks. Stat.

Danielle quickly slipped into her black and pink matching under garments, and began to dig through her suitcase for something suitable to wear. A lot of media was on the agenda today, she had been given the thumbs up from above to advance in the Queen of the Ring tournament. She had never expected for them to have her beat Natalya in the first round. Honestly, Danielle had felt she would have just been fodder in the tournament. So when they had decided to let her win the match, she had been genuinely surprised. The higher up's had seemingly been quite impressed with her work over the past year, along side Mercedes and Natalie. Some of the girls had embraced their success, and loved their gig as the Mean Girls on TV. Then there were others who couldn't stop complaining about them. Typical. Although none of that truly mattered to Danielle. She was given an opportunity of a life time, and she planned to take off with it and see where it took her.

Danielle glanced down at her phone and bit her bottom lip. The male on the bed cleared his throat and rolled over to face her, letting out a whistle of approval.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
Not a bad sight to wake up to.

He grinned and rubbed his eyes with his hands, rubbing the sleep from them.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
You didn't mind falling asleep to it either.

Dani winked back at him before she slipped into one of the many dresses she had packed.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
You're right about that.

She pushed her long blonde hair to the right side and quickly ran a hairbrush through it. Mike rolled back against the bed and pulled the sheet over him a little more.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
What time is it?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Like six in the morning.

Mike yawned and stretched.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
Yep, too early for me to be up when I don't have to.

Danielle looked back and shot him a playful glare, how dare he rub it in her face. She'd give anything right now to stay in bed and sleep some more.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Ruudde!

Danielle smiled and tried to finish getting ready quickly. She did her makeup in almost record time, and her hair was on point for the limited time she had.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
You sure you don't have time for another round?

He joked and winked as she gathered her things to leave. His smile basically lit up the room. She smiled and shook her head. It was hard for her to resist him but there wasn't enough time.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
No, I have to be at this radio station in like fifteen minutes. Maybe after.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
That won't work, I have a meet and greet later. Then a few different interviews.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Same here and I'm needed to film a scene with Mercedes and Natalie today.

She put a few things in her small clutch she carried and shrugged her slender shoulders.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Are we traveling to the next show together?

Mike paused and it was his turn to shake his head. Danielle adjusted her tight dress to fit a little better as it hugged her body in just the right places.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
I think Ted actually was talking about riding together. I mean you can come if you want to.

Danielle pursed her lips and contemplated for a minute. She and Mike had spent some time together here or there lately, sometimes sharing a hotel together, or riding to the next city with one another. It was nice for both of them as neither felt the need to make this an official relationship. Mike and Danielle were focused on their careers more than anything, and it seemed to keep things a little more simple. It was definitely nice to be free of the pressures of a relationship, yet they still had one another for those lonely nights on the road when you needed a companion. So it worked out perfectly for them.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Nah, I'll ride with the girls. Just text me.

She walked over to the bed and leaned down to kiss his cheek.

��Haters.Love.Him;;Mike.Mizanin��
Will do.

Mike sat up in the bed a little and grabbed the remote. He turned on the TV as Danielle made sure she had everything and left the room. The door clicked behind her as she walked out into the hotel hallway. As she rounded the corner and made her way to the elevator, her cellphone began to ring. She swiped her finger across the screen and answered it.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Hey Nic.

��Danielle's.Sister;;Nicolette.Moinet��
Dani, where are you?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
I'm headed to a radio interview, why?

��Danielle's.Sister;;Nicolette.Moinet��
Mom says she's been trying to call you and you won't answer.

Danielle sighed and ran her finger nails through her hair. She mashed the button to the elevator.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Oh sorry, I had it on silent. I was tired last night. What does she want?

��Danielle's.Sister;;Nicolette.Moinet��
She's in Missouri with Dad. They got tickets to the show tonight. She said she saw something about you and some guy on the internet. So now she wants to meet him.

Danielle shook her head. She hadn't mentioned anything to any of her family members about her and Mike. Since they weren't official, she didn't feel the need to introduce everyone. She hadn't thought about them seeing it on her twitter.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Look Nic, it's really not a big deal. Tell Mom I will try to meet up with her before call time. I can't promise anything, I'm really busy today. I wish she would have told me sooner...

��Danielle's.Sister;;Nicolette.Moinet��
Yeah well, you know Mom and her surprises.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Yeah, don't I.

The elevator doors opened and Danielle stepped inside and pressed the button for the ground floor.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Nic, listen. I'm going to let you go, okay? Just, tell Mom I'm really sorry and I'll see her later tonight.

��Danielle's.Sister;;Nicolette.Moinet��
Okay. Bye.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Bye Nic.

Danielle ended the conversation and placed her phone into her clutch. She knew she had a long night ahead of her, where her Mom would play 100 questions about her and Mike. Questions she didn't feel up to answering even if she could.

-----------------------------------------

After Danielle had successfully grabbed a ride to the radio station and found the place she was suppose to be, she took a seat in one of the chairs places in the radio booth. Cosmo and Mike were the morning radio personalities for Y107 FM in Columbia, Missouri. She placed a set of headphones on her head and adjusted herself closer to the desk in front of her.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Annndd we're back, here on the Cosmo and Mike morning show. It's a sunny start to our morning here in Columbia, Missouri. We actually have an in studio guest at this time, Danielle Moinet. She is a Diva and a current EBWF Women's tag team champion, portrayed on TV as a character named Summer Rae. The EBWF is in town tonight for another round of King and Queen of the Ring tournament matches.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Welcome to the show, Danielle.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Thank you Cosmo, thank you Mike. It's a pleasure to be here. Although I'm not a fan of waking up early, it's worth it to be here with you guys. I also want to apologize for running a little behind this morning. I absolutely had to get my coffee or I couldn't possibly function right now.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
No worries, I think we've all been there before. Now Danielle, tell us a little bit more about this tournament thing EBWF has going on right now.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Alright so each year the company has these tournaments to allow it's roster a chance to fight through several matches in order to gain a shot at the top title. For the Superstars, it's the EBWF World Championship and for us ladies on the roster, we get a shot to face the Women's champion in a title match.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Now have you ever been Women's champion before?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Not Women's champion. Yet. But I have only been in the company for a little over a year and I am a two time Women's tag champion with my girl Eva Marie. My other on screen best friend, Sasha Banks, is currently the Women's champion.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
So wait, that means if you win this whole thing, then you will have to face your bestfriend?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
That is correct.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Sounds like drama.

Danielle laughed and shook her head.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
No you see, in EBWF I am a part of this group that goes by the name the Mean Girls. The three of us are basically catty to everyone on the roster and we act like we're the best at everything we do.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Well it would seem like you are the best if you're all champions.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
True. That's the way we see it anyways. So basically, Sasha and I have this understanding that if I do face her, it won't change anything. Because we just want to keep the titles in our little group, no matter who has what title. We make an amazing team and we've found a lot of success together. I hope to keep it going through this tournament, but we shall see.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
So you are obviously in town for a reason. Does this mean you have a match tonight on Warfare?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Yes, I do. I'm going to be facing one of the veteran Divas in EBWF, Trish Stratus.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Oh I'm REAL familiar with Trish Stratus. She's always been one of my favorites.

Danielle jokingly scoffed at him.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
No way! That's my opponent tonight, you can't go for her. You're suppose to be rooting for me!

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Well I mean... things change. I could be rooting for you tonight. I've just always enjoyed Trish. She's easy on the eyes.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Your wife won't like to hear that, Cosmo. It's on the couch for you tonight, buddy.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
See, you don't want problems with your wife. Just root for me, I bet she will be. Because the Mean Girls slay.

Danielle did her signature Mean Girls snap taunt and laughed. She unscrewed the cap to the complimentary water the offered her before the show. After she took a drink, she replaced the cap and adjusted in her seat once more.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
But yeah, tournament season is a pretty crazy time in wrestling. I didn't think EBWF would have me going very far in this, but I'm still in it. This time last year I was basically just starting out on my own. You see, before the Mean Girls, I was hired on as a valet for another wrestler. One who is no longer a part of the company. I remember when EBWF called me into their headquarters for a meeting around the time they let Fandango go, the guy I was a valet for. I just knew I was getting fired that day. I was stressing out, I felt sick to my stomach... I think I clenched my hands on my chair so hard my knuckles stayed white. I was bracing myself for the unemployment line when they suddenly threw me a curve ball. They apparently wanted to try me as a new Diva, to help bring in some fresh talent. Not that they wanted to get rid of the veterans, but you know, it never hurts to keep things fresh and new.

Danielle cleared her throat and tucked some of her hair behind her ear.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Then I went on and had a few single matches which felt great. It was amazing to be in EBWF as a Diva, wrestling in front of the crowd instead of just being a ringside cheerleader. Shortly after that, they sort of just grouped Eva Marie, Sasha Banks, and myself together. We didn't even have a name for a few weeks, but the fans loved us together. Then we just formed into the Mean Girls, running things for the last year with no real competition in sight. It's been a lot of fun for us and the fans seem to eat it up.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Interesting how quickly things can change like that. Now tell us, does your on screen character reflect you off camera at all?

Danielle thought over this for a moment and shook her head.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
I don't really think so, no. I mean maybe the love of fashion, but that's about it. I'm actually a pretty laid back person off camera. I get along with mostly everyone, where as my character Summer Rae, is constantly running her mouth and trying to stir up some sort of drama. It can be fun though, being someone that you aren't in real life.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Maybe an alter ego?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Maybe in some sense, but really, it's just an on screen character I play.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Do any of the Divas in the back get upset or jealous about you or your friend's success?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Ohhh yeah. There is ALWAYS someone who's unhappy. That person that feels they're being overlooked, and we're getting all the spotlight instead. I mean, it's partially true, but you just do what you can to make it. It's a tough business to be in, especially being a woman. You can't stand back and let opportunities pass you by. You have to jump on it and hold on for dear life. Otherwise, you're going to be years down the line in your career with absolutely nothing to show for it. Nobody wants that.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Do you feel that you and the other Mean Girls will be remembered down the line?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Of course! We effectively ended the Beautiful People, we've defeated every tag team the company has tried to throw at us. We've seen more success as a stable than any other women's tag team or stable in the past few years. I don't want to be too cocky, but I truly feel we helped freshen up women's wrestling. For awhile it seemed kind of stagnant, nothing big really going on. Then we show up and change things around. We sold ridiculous amounts of merchandise, the fans were demanding more meet and greets with us. We went from nothing to suddenly being everywhere. We were on PPV posters, had our pictures on the EBWF trucks, featured in magazines... I mean it was nuts how fast things changed for us. I'm so completely appreciative for it. Although on screen, I will never admit to it.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Alright well we're running out of time. Danielle, I know you have a busy day ahead of you as well. Warfare will be at the MizZou arena tonight, make sure to buy up any tickets if any are left. Also make sure to tune in on your TV's if you weren't able to go to the event.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
I actually just found out that Danielle here gifted us front row seats to the show tonight. Now I guess I really do have to root for you at ringside.

Danielle crossed her legs and shook her head yes.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
It's the only way to go.

The guys laughed and continued to wrap the show up.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
Alright and Danielle.... Summer... do you have any last words for your opponent tonight, Trish Stratus?

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Absolutely! Trish Stratus, you better work bitch! Tonight's not going to be easy. Hell will freeze over before I ever let a fossil like you steam roll right past me. Hope you packed your bags because after tonight, you'll be headed back home to Canada after I eliminate you from the Queen of the Ring tournament. There's only one Diva fit to be Queen and that's me! QUEEN Summer!

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Shots fired.

Mike laughed before he spoke again.

��Radio.Host;;Mike��
Thanks for all our fans tuning into the show this morning. You can watch our guest today, Summer Rae, on Warfare. Thank you for coming on the show and hanging out with us.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
And good luck tonight.

��Legs.For.Days;;Danielle.Moinet��
Thanks you guys, thanks for asking me on the show. It was fun. Now enjoy those front row seats and you better cheer me on tonight. Otherwise I'll have to hurt you when I'm done with Trish!

Danielle laughed, obviously joking around with the radio crew.

��Radio.Host;;Cosmo��
To our fans, stay tuned. We'll be back after the break.

The show went to a commercial, signaling everything had complete. Danielle removed the headphones from her ears and fixed her hair. She thanked everyone in the studio before she made her way out of the building. Once her ride arrived, she climbed in the back and relaxed back against the seat. She felt completely exhausted and her day had just begun.

-----------------------------------------

The camera backstage opened the scene at the interview area, the recess lighting adjusted just right to light the area up. The EBWF logo placed in the background, half blocked by Michael Cole, who stood in front of the logo in his suit and tie. He already had his handy microphone in hand and flashed a toothy smile at the camera. He breathed in and exhaled before he began to speak.

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time, Justin Gab-

Michael Cole abruptly cut himself off when a petite blonde came storming up to the set, and shoved Justin Gabriel out of her way. Justin narrowed his eyes and threw his arms out like "what the hell?"

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
OUT of my way!!

Summer marched up to Michael Cole and placed her hands on her hips, her EBWF Women's tag title around her waist.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Ask me a question...

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
Summer, I'm scheduled an interview with Justin Gabriel-

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
NOW!

Summer raised her voice.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
That idiot can wait a minute.

She turned to face Justin who kind of just stood there dumbfounded.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Take five, wolf boy. Come back later.

Justin didn't move. He looked like he wanted to say something but Summer cut him off.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Ummm BYE! Be gone, loser! Adios! Sayonara!!

Summer waved in a bitchy fashion, signaling for him to leave. Justin simply shook his head and walked off. Summer smiled in satisfaction and turned back to Michael Cole.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Now, ask me.

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
Uh - alright. Well, um, ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for that. My guest at this time, she is one half of the EBWF Women's tag team champions, and member of the Mean Girls, Summer Rae.

Summer fanned herself with her fingers, seemingly unimpressed. She faked a yawn even.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
I guess that introduction will do. This is why I need a new interviewer..

Summer sighed in annoyance and shook her head.

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
Summer, you were the one who sought me out, and effectively ruined my scheduled interview-

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Booorreedd! I don't care about your life story, Michael. No one does. ANNDD I only sought you out because everyone else was busy. I figured you could use an interview with a star anyways, since you know, you're basically hanging on by a thread now days. Kind of like Trish Stratus.

Summer giggled to herself.

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
Who is your opponent in the next round of Queen of the Ring.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Duh, I already knew that. Seriously, where is Corey Graves? He's easy on the eyes at least.

She looked to her right and left and shrugged her shoulders.

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
Anyways, this week, I step in the ring with that thirsty, washed-up has been, Trish Stratus. I find it pretty laughable that she thinks facing me will be a walk in the park. Has she been under a rock the last year or what? In case she's missed it, my girls and I have been OWNING this division for the past year! Where has she been?

��One.And.Only;;Michael.Cole��
I'm not really sure...

��Legs.For.Days;;Summer.Rae��
No one knows, Michael, no one. She's been sitting back, collecting fat checks, while the rest of us have busted our behinds all year around! She did absolutely nothing basically all year long! Then she wants to randomly show up on the scene, come tournament season, to try and be significant again? Bye Felicia!

Summer pushed her hand out in a "Whatever" type motion.
