Surprise! It's the sequel to Ready to Change. I decided to upload the first chapter before I finish Daniel's Retirement. I might not update until the last two chapters of Daniel's Retirement are uploaded though.


Money in the Bank: July 18, 2010

"Not even four months." Michelle says. "How did you do it?"

"Lots of therapy." I say. "And a little luck."

"Does he know you're back?"

I knew exactly what he Chelle was talking about.

"No. We don't talk anymore. Plus his new girlfriend is a bitch and not worth it to be harassed by her again."

"What about Daniel?"

"Daniel isn't too fond of Randy either."

"Does Daniel know that you're here?"

"No."

"You should go find him."

"Yeah. Find my boyfriend and avoid Randy and Brie."

"He said it was to protect you."

"I know, Chelle, but he told you. Not me. Randy didn't even tell from who he was protecting me from anyways."

"According to John, he told him but was sworn to secrecy."

"I am not surprised."


I went to enter Daniel's locker-room, but I stopped. I heard moaning.

I'm not going crazy. Am I?

"Oh Daniel!" I hear.

I know that voice...Brie.

"Oh Brie!"

That...little...bitch.

Randy happened to hear the moaning as he walked by.

"Is that your boyfriend and my girlfriend?" He asked.

"Ex-boyfriend now." I say.

Randy smiles at me. "She's my ex now too."

He opens the door. I hide behind the wall.

"Brie," Randy says. "We're over."

Daniel looks at Randy. "Randy, dude, please don't tell Marissa. You already broke her heart."

"She knows already."

"How?"

I walk in. "Cause I'm cleared to compete now. So I was going to surprise you, but no, today I found out that you are an asshole. When Chris cheated on me, I cried, but you aren't worth my tears. Go fuck yourself."

I walk out of his locker-room. Randy walks out behind me.

"I'm not even sad." I say. "I'm pissed."

"I might be the only one who understands what you mean." Randy replies.

"You okay?"

"I'm feeling just like you right now. Pissed."

Maryse runs over to us and gives us an awkward look before speaking. "You were right, Rissa. Alicia did attack Eve."

We head to the Trainer's room to see Eve.

Alicia Fox was supposed to defend the Divas Championship against her tonight, but I had a feeling Alicia would attack Eve before the match tonight. So I snuck something into the match contract. A clause that says: If for any reason Eve Torres is unable to compete, she will be able to pick a replacement and the match will still be for the Divas Championship. Alicia never noticed that we did that.


We enter the Trainer's room to weird looks from our friends, but no one says anything about Randy and I being together.

"Do you know who you want?" I ask.

She smiles. "I already did."

"Who?"

She looks at me seriously. "You."

"Me? But, Eve, I haven't wrestled since WrestleMania."

"But you're the Queen of Chaos. You can do it. Beat Alicia and become the New Divas Champion."

"Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent."


"I am the best WWE Diva of all time!" Alicia says. "There isn't a Diva past, present, future, injured, or active even comparable to me! I will be the longest reigning Divas Champion of all time! Eve Torres can't beat me. She can't even compete tonight...so that means that there is no Divas Championship match tonight. And-"

I know I want that girl so bad

I lie awake at night

And think of all the things that I would do

With a girl like that…

I enter the ring with the match contract. "Alicia, I want you to read this."

"If for any reason Eve Torres is unable to compete, she will be able to pick a replacement and the match will still be for the Divas Championship! Who is it?!"

I smirk. "Me…"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Alicia hits me with a Clothesline. I hit the ground remembering the rush I used to get in the ring. I smile as I feel it again.

I get up. She goes after me, but I duck. I hit her with a Dropkick. I then go up to the top rope and hit a Crossbody on her. I pin Alicia.

1...2...kickout!

She hits me with a Big Boot. She then picks me up and hits a Scissors Kick. She pins me.

1...2...kickout!

I hit her with a few Right Hands. I then hit her with a Clothesline.

I smirk. "Figure-Four." I mutter.

I grab Alicia's legs and lock in the Figure-Four Leglock. She tries to reverse it, but I keep from successfully doing so. She taps out.

"Here is your winner and the NEW WWE Divas Champion, Marissa!"

I smile as I take the championship belt. I raise it in the air. The crowd cheers loud...especially since it's my home state.


I walk backstage. I hug my girls.

"Champions together." Chelle says. "Best friend goals."

"Obviously we are." I say.

"Good job." Ryse says. "You were impressive."

"You vowed to come back better than ever." Eve says. "You did. You're gonna be a great Divas Champion."

"Do you want a match for it?" I ask.

"No. I will earn my opportunity."

"Okay then."

Ted and Cody walk up behind me.

"My bro for life is Divas Champion!" Ted says before high-fiving me.

"Good job, Rissa." Cody says.

"Thanks you guys." I reply. "Where's John?"

"With Randy…" Ted says. "They're going to meet us at John and Michelle's locker-room. Randy told us what happened."

So that's why no one asked about Daniel.

"Oh...he did?"

"Yeah…" Chelle says.

"We had restrain him from finding Daniel and beating the shit outta him." Eve says.

"Except Ted." Ryse says. "Ted was encouraging Randy and wanted to come with."

"And Randy was going to let him." Codes says.

"We were going to get Chris too. Maybe a few others as well." Ted says.

"Do it." I say.

"What?" Ryse asks.

"Let them do it."

"Why?"

"Daniel deserves it. And Randy deserves revenge. And I will enjoy knowing he got the shit beat outta him."

"What about Brie?"

"We'll figure that out later."

"We should go." Chelle says. "Randy and John aren't patient men."


"Took you long enough." John says.

I flip him off.

"See?" Randy says. "I told you that she was okay, John."

"I'm happy actually." I say. "I just won my first Divas Championship."

"You should be."

"John," Chelle says. "We gotta go do that thing."

"Oh yeah." John says. "Let's go."

"Eve, Cody, Ryse," Ted says. "We got to go do something too."

"Let's go." Eve says.

Everyone except me and Randy leave.

"They couldn't have been more obvious." Randy says.

"I think they think that we're dumber than we actually are." I say.

"Neither of us are even dumb."

"True."

"Except in our recent choices in people to date."

"Yeah…"

"I'm sorry about what happened."

"Why? It's not your fault."

"It kind of is."

"What do you mean?"

"If I didn't break up with you, then none of this would've happened."

I didn't feel like crying when I caught Daniel cheating, but I did now. Randy always made me feel vulnerable.

"Let's just blame whoever you tried to protect me from."

"Michelle told you?"

"Yeah. She's my best friend, Randy."

"I should've saw that coming when I told her."

"Yeah…"

Randy pulls something out of his bag. "The Nexus."

"What about the Nexus?"

"I was protecting you from the Nexus."

"Why?"

"This piece of paper is a threat they sent me." He reads it. "Randal, we aren't going to spare you, but we will spare your pretty, little, injured girlfriend. On one condition...you break up with her. We're watching-The Nexus."

"Assholes."

Randy chuckles. "Daniel was with them at one point too."

"The Nexus is assholes."

"Oh. I definitely agree."

"Forget about them for now. You have a Money in the Bank match tonight."

"And I plan on winning. By the way, do you have a place to stay now that you and Daniel are done?"

"No…"

"You can stay with me."

"Really?"

"I'm serious."

"Thank you, Randy."


I groaned as Miz won the Money in the Bank match. The only person I didn't want to have it.

Ted and Maryse walk backstage.

"Did you see that?!" Ted asks. "My girlfriend tried to get the briefcase."

"It was awesome." I say. "She almost had it too."

"But Miz won." Randy says walking up to us.

"Yeah…"

"By the way," Ted says. "We're sorry for leaving you two earlier."

Randy rolls his eyes. "We know you did it so we could talk. Plus we're going to share a hotel room tonight anyways."

"I better not hear you guys having sex."

"No promises." Randy says.

"Rissa?"

"Like Randy said no promises."

Brie walks up to us and looks at me. "Don't think you can steal Randy from me."

"Brie," I say. "Randy's a big boy. Okay? He can make his own decisions. As far as I'm concerned, if Randy and I end up back together it will be because we both want to get back together. Plus, he already dumped you like I dumped Daniel. Speaking of Daniel, why don't you get out of my face and go fuck him like you were earlier. You two are perfect for each other. You're both assholes."

She goes to walk away, but she stops and goes to slap me. Maryse stops her. I smirk. Randy decides to do something that'll piss Brie off more.

He grabs me and whispers. "May I kiss you?"

I smile and nod yes.

He brush my hair back before kissing me passionately. He ends up pressing me against the wall. It was just like we were together again. We were making out in the backstage area.

Randy lets out a growl. I never realized how attracted to him I still am until he did that. It was making me not wanting to stop. We finally stop.

Brie stomps away angry.

"That was a little much." Ted says.

"We caught them having sex." Randy says.

"He's got a point, Ted." Ryse says.
