Don't tell me.

Chapter 1- Welcome committee.

Eve made her way through the unfamiliar halls, sighing as she went. Every time someone walked past she offered a friendly smile, only to be returned with an unsure glance or dirty stare. She sighed. Eve had never been one to turn down a challenge but this all seemed a little too challenging. Her previous home had been a warm and welcoming place where she had felt safe, she knew everyone and everybody knew her. All she wanted was a friendly face, someone she felt she could make contact with, befriend even.

As she strolled the hallways alone and lost, the smackdown native realised for once in her life she was all alone. No one was going to help her, why should they bother after all? She was only the newest eye-candy diva to grace the red brand. Plenty had been before her, she was nothing special. But, always the optimistic one, Eve shook the negative thoughts away and instead focused on a group of superstars at the bottom of the hallway. She thought her best chance of finding her way was to simply ask someone for directions and like it or not that group of superstars were her only chance to escape from letting herself walk around in circles.

Putting on a brave face and at least trying not to look lost, confused and overall vulnerable, the new girl casually walked over. But as she grew closer to the group of raw inhabitants she soon found herself wishing she hadn't.

"Oh well look who it is," the most confident member of the group spoke up. "The new girl."

Eve really didn't like his tone... in fact she didn't like him altogether. The Miz was the last person she had wanted to bump into, in fact she had planned to avoid him at all costs.

The largest member of the group was next to speak.

"Listen lady. I don't know who you are, nor do I care who you are but we are busy right now. Why don't you run along and get your nails done with the rest of the no talent eye candy models."

Jack swagger had never been known for his kind words.

"I uh, I..." Eve began. She wanted to insult him but thought it was best not to. The last thing she wanted was to push people away or upset them, she needed all the allies she could get.

"Uh I, uh I, can you speak?" the Miz imitated her, and then sniggered at his own "joke". Eve couldn't help herself from laughing at how pathetic he was and this only confused him.

"Listen, unless you want to make yourself useful and amuse us with what you're here for, then just go away and leave the real wrestlers alone," Miz continued, glaring at her.

Oh, great comeback, Eve thought to herself. Really got me scared, I wonder what a good for nothing loudmouth, ex reality TV star knows about real wrestling.

Miz sensed her thoughts and pushed her hard with his shoulder as he moved past.

"Whatever." He said not looking back at the newest diva and signalling for the group to follow.

The group obediently followed their self proclaimed leader, apart from one member. He, instead, turned to look at the girl and frown.

"Can I give you some advice?" Chris Masters asked.

Eve nodded, hoping it would actually be worth listening to.

"Stick with me and you'll be fine," he winked and even smiled a little then turned and picked up the pace to catch up with the gang.

Eve remained in her position. Stick with me and you'll be fine. Was that some sort of offer? Or invitation of some sort? She didn't really know what to make of Chris Masters, but she couldn't help herself but smile a little.

Well, that's one friend I suppose. She smiled.

"Hey, daydreamer. Eve Torres, right? I'm John Cena and I will be your tour guide for the day, fire exits are to your left side. Please keep all your belongings safe and we will begin the tour shortly," John Cena smiled down at the shorter diva. He took hold of her arm lightly and ushered her along the hallway.

"First stop," he continued. "The diva's locker room."

Eve smiled; she couldn't actually believe that the WWE champion was showing her around instead of getting ready for his match. Still, she wasn't going to complain. A couple butterflies fluttered in the pit of her stomach. Eve wasn't normally one to get nervous but there was just something about being in the presence of such a handsome and warm person that made her melt a little inside.

"Thanks champ, you're the only person who has actually bothered to be civil to me," she said. "Well actually that's a lie," she said as she carried on walking beside the WWE champion as he directed her through the bustling corridors of the arena. "Chris Masters was kind of civil...I think."

Cena paused and Eve couldn't help but trip up over his foot, yet still remaining to keep her balance and just managing to stop herself from falling over and completely embarrassing herself.

"Masters? Civil? Hmm sounds strange, normally he's a bit of a jerk. I guess that's just the effect you have on people," he smiled. He looked down at her whilst she at that very moment looked up at him, their eyes connecting for a brief second. Cena broke the momentary silence and regained his composure.

"Right," he took put out his arm for her to link out to. "On with the tour then?"

As a way of response, Eve nodded and continued smiling. She realised that this was the first time since hearing the news of her move to raw, that she was actually smiling. In fact, she had never felt happier than she did in that very moment.

The crowd dispersed their way out of the arena. Excited kids, and adults for that matter, busily chatting with their friends and family about the goings on in that night's raw.

Eve waited anxiously outside the diva's locker room. She was waiting for her friend Melina. Melina had too been a Smackdown! Diva up until a week ago, when she (just like Eve) had been traded to raw in the diva trade.

"Ergh," a female's voice made an unpleasant sound obviously directed at Eve.

Eve spun round to come face to face with a rather unhappy Jillian Hall.

"Uh, hi?" Eve smiled, trying to be nice.

"Don't pull that nice girl bullshit with me. I know what you're here for. You want to make yourself known, you want to be top diva. Well I am top diva around here and to become the best you have to beat the best. If you think you stand a chance, you have another thing coming, missy!" Jillian declared arrogantly.

The truth was, Jillian was an amazing talent. She had great wrestling skills, surprisingly, but her attitude really let her down. She was far from the best, in fact she wasn't even second best. She focused more on her terrible singing and actually believed that she was the next Britney Spears.

"I am a former diva's champion and that is far more than you will ever be," she continued. "And also, I am so sick of you girls coming in and thinking you can take over raw. I have worked extremely hard to become as amazing and loved by the fans as I am and you and Melina will not take that away from me."

"I..." Eve began but was cut off by Jillian once more.

"I mean I win the diva's championship off of Mickie James fair and square and then seconds later Melina turns up and somehow beats me! What the..."

"Um Jillian..." Eve once again tried to speak and was interrupted.

"I mean, MELINA? Please, she couldn't beat a fly." She rolled her eyes. "It is so typical and to make matters worse, she interrupted my genius rendition of paparazzi. Who does she think she is? Who do you think you are? Coming over to my brand like this? Disgrace, I can't believe two extremely talented divas were traded for you and that waste of space. I tell you when I get my hands on Mel..."

This time is was someone else's turn to interrupt.

"Really Jillian? So, what exactly are you going to do when you get your hands on me?" Melina said from behind the blonde diva.

The look on Jillian's face was priceless.

"I wonder what us two 'waste of space divas' are going to do to you right now?" she continued. "If I was you, I would run."

Jillian did just that she pushed past Eve and ran as quickly as she could, hands waving maniacally in the air, screaming at the top of her lungs. It was a truly hilarious sight.

Eve and Melina watched the blonde run away, stumbling every so often due to the sky high heels she was wearing. The divas turned to each other and collapsed in hysterics.

"I think this could turn out to be quite fun actually," Eve said to her friend.

"See I told you not to worry. Come on let's get to the hotel before Jillian comes back and sings... no squawks us to death," Melina laughed and linked arms with her friend, the diva's championship hanging proudly over her shoulder.

The pair made their way to the parking lot, surveying the lot for their rent-a-car.

"Hey guys, thanks for waiting for me!" A young blonde said, catching her breath.

"Kel, you really shouldn't be running in those heels, you might break a leg!" Melina said taking in the size of her friends shoes. "Who are you trying to impress?"

"A-ha-ha," Kelly rolled her eyes. "Actually I just felt like a change in footwear. Those Nikes get a bit old after a while you know."

"Evening ladies," a passing by superstar said. Taking his hat off to them.

"Evening Cena," Kelly replied, her face brightening up and then dropping a little when he turned to load up his car.

"Catch you three at the hotel?"

"You bet-cha," Kelly smiled. "Can't wait."

The happy blonde, threw her stuff into the back seat and waved frantically at the champ, who simply smiled back in return and went back to loading the car.

"What about you Eve? You coming too?" he said, sounding almost overly enthusiastic.

"Yeah, of course I'm coming. Where else would I sleep?" she joked.

"Well, I have a few ideas." He opened the door of the girls' car and held it open for Eve. He cheekily winked at her and although she didn't mean to, Eve found herself blushing.

"Bye girls, drive safe." He continued, getting into his own car and starting the engine.

Kelly looked a little taken aback. "Wow Eve, he must really like you. He never acts that way around me." She sounded almost resentful.

Eve shrugged. "It's my first day, he's probably just being friendly."

"You guys think too much," Melina added to the conversation as she sunk down into the driver's seat. "Let's go celebrate my title win, shall we?"
