-----

Morgan was stretching her arms backstage as the crowd cheered. While the Philadelphian was stretching, The Shield walk over to her and she turned around. 

"Hey." She greeted.

"We wanted to wish you luck tonight. We hope you win." Roman said as she fist bumped him and Seth.

"Thanks guys." She smiled and met Dean's gaze. 

Seth and Roman got the memo and left to give them some time alone.

Dean wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around his back and rested her head on his chest. Once he released her, he kissed her

"Good luck in your match tonight." he smiled

"Thank you." 

'In the ring'

"This match is set for one fall and it is for the Divas Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Union City, New Jersey, AJ Lee!" Lilian announced as AJ skipped down the ring.

"The queen of Crazyville, AJ Lee, sets to take on Morgan," King said.

Morgan's theme came on as the crowd erupted in cheers. "And her opponent, she is the Divas Champion, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Morgan!" Lilian announced. 

She walked out in her shield attire and grinned at the crowd. She twirled around while holding up the title.

"Oh, I love it when she twirls." King grinned.

"You say that every time she walks out." JBL retorted. 

She tagged some hands before getting in the ring. She got on the turnbuckle and raised up her title as does her taunt with her right hand. She lowered her right hand in front of her and did The Shield's pose before jumping off the turnbuckle.

Morgan looked at AJ leaning on the ropes before she gave her title to the ref. The ref raised the title and called for the bell. The two women circle around each other and lock up.

"The Shield will not be a part of the match up. If Morgan wins, she continues her reign as Divas champion-OH! What a shot by AJ." Cole exclaimed as AJ gave her a spinning kick in the face. She went for the pin but Morgan kicked out at two. "As I was saying, if Morgan wins this match, Stephanie will be forced in the ring with her and cannot force her into any more matches and she must leave her alone."

"We all know that Morgan wants to get her hands on Stephanie. After all she has done to her." King said

Later on in the match, AJ throws Morgan to the turnbuckle and starts unloading on her as the ref pushes her back. Morgan takes advantage and kicks her in the gut and grabs her for a butterfly DDT. She was about to pin her but then Stephanie runs down the ring as the crowd boos.

"What are you doing here?" Morgan asked angrily. She was pretty banged up by AJ's moves.

"I'm watching the match," Stephanie smirked. 

Morgan turns around and gets caught in the black widow.

"Morgan's caught!" Cole exclaimed.

"Tap out Morgan! Tap out!" Stephanie yelled. Morgan was about to tap but then Jane ran down the ring.

"What is Jane doing here?" Cole asked before she grabbed Stephanie by the hair and brought her down as the crowd cheered.

"What!?" King screeched.

"Tap! Tap!" AJ yelled as Morgan kneeled.

Jane turned her attention to Morgan. "Come on sweetie! You can do it!"

"Looks like Jane has been playing Stephanie all along," JBL said. 

Morgan fights out of the black widow as the crowd cheers. She rolls out the ring but then AJ starts to have a fit. She storms out of the ring and throws Morgan to the barricade.

"You are supposed to tap! That is supposed to be my championship! Mine!" AJ exclaimed before unloading on her.

"AJ! Get back in the ring! 4!" The ref continued to count. 

She picks Morgan up by the hair but then Morgan fights back and starts giving her punches to the face and throws her back in the ring. She hits her with some clotheslines before giving her a flying crossbody. She then picks her up and hits AJ with a knee to the gut and hits the backfire on her. She pins her for the win as the crowd cheers.

"Here is your winner! And still your Diva's Champion, Morgan!" Lilian announced as Morgan held her head and got her hand raised. 

Morgan grinned and taunted the crowd while Jane jumped up and down, cheering for her. 

"Stephanie has to get in the ring with Morgan," King exclaimed as Jane got into the ring to hug her daughter. 

Stephanie holds her head and is shocked at the outcome of the match while she is at ringside, on the floor. She gets up and starts to walk up the ramp but then Jane runs out of the ring as the crowd cheers. Jane grabs her and throws her in the ring as Stephanie is on her knees before Morgan. 

"Please! Don't do anything!" Stephanie begged and started apologizing as Jane got back in the ring.

"Look at her, trying to suck up. She brought this on herself." Cole said as King agreed. Morgan and Jane look at each other and then back at Stephanie. Then she watched as her mom started to attack Stephanie. "Look at Jane go!"

"That's Jane power right there," JBL said as Morgan looked amused.

After Jane was done, Morgan waits for Stephanie to get up to give her a clothesline. She picks her up and taunts the crowd before giving her a backfire. Morgan spins on her right knee before stopping herself in front of Stephanie's fallen body. 

"I know that had to feel good for Morgan and Jane." JBL added

"And the mother-daughter duo has gotten their revenge on Stephanie," Cole said as Morgan and Jane hugged again.

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Renee Young was with Morgan and Jane who were sitting on a crate, laughing at what they did to Stephanie. "Right now I am here with Morgan and Jane Lopez. I gotta say, what happened out there?" Renee grinned.

Morgan chuckled. "It was a plan all along. My mom fooled Stephanie. We made the plan."

"How'd you come up with it?"

"It wasn't hard. Stephanie seems to love to hurt me and do anything to get under my skin but in the end, she started it and I finished it."

"Yes, and I'm really happy this is all over and my daughter can finally continue her career without any more Stephanie drama." Jane smiled.

"We heard this will be your last night in the WWE. Will this be the last time we see Jane in the WWE?" Renee asked.

"No, she'll return one day. For now, she'll just keep supporting me from home." Morgan smiled. "I love you."

"Aw. I love you too," Jane smiled and hugged her

"Well, there you have it. Thanks for taking the time to talk with us." Renee smiled.

After the interview, Renee helped Melanie take a photo of her and Jane hugging and Melanie tweeted 'Stephanie got what she deserved. She will never break our #MotherDaughterBond #ILoveMom #MomsAreTough'

'Later on HIAC'

Melanie and Jane watch Jon's match against Ettore Ewen (Big E Langston). Melanie winced as she saw Jon's chin cut open and Ettore's eye cut. 

"Ooh. This match is getting real." She looked on in amazement.

"They are pretty talented," Jane commented. 

After Jon's match, Melanie decided to see how he was doing. She started walking to the doctor's office and saw cameras following her. She decided to get in character a little.

Once she went inside the office, she saw Dean sitting down. "Hey. Sorry, I wasn't there to support you." She gave him a small smile and sat next to him.

"It's no problem." He chuckled.

"How's your chin?"

"I've been through worse."

"I'll kiss it to make it better." She kissed his chin but then he yelled 'Ah!' "Oh my gosh, are you okay!? I'm sorry!"

He started laughing. "Just messing with you."

"Dean! That's not funny!" She slapped his arm.

"You fell for it." He chuckled and kissed her on the lips.

'After the show'

Melanie drove Jane to the airport. "Can't believe you're leaving." She frowned as she parked her rental car at the airport.

"Oh sweetie, I'll be cheering you on from home. Plus, your father and I need some loving."

"Oh no! Too much information!" Melanie exclaimed. Jane giggled as they both got out of the car. She grabbed Jane's bags from the trunk and hugged her. "I'm going to miss you."

"I'm going to miss you too sweetie. It was so nice being a part of the WWE for a while. I cannot wait to come back if they want me to. I have to go. Don't want to miss my flight. Love you!" She kissed her on the forehead.

"Love you too." Melanie gave her a sad smile and waved goodbye to her as she walked inside the airport.

'Next day, Raw'

The titantron showed The Shield on the screen. "Tonight could be the most important night in the history of The Shield. I'm being forced to defend my United States Championship against Big E Langston. If Big E has a stock, I'm buying it. He's a human bulldozer and I felt that last night." Dean pointed to his stitched up chin. "But make no mistake about it Big E. It was a privilege to give you a few minutes of my time at Hell in a cell, it was a privilege for you to share a ring with the United States champion Dean Ambrose."

"Last night, we made a mistake. We underestimated the potential of Big E Langston. But tonight we have an opportunity to rectify that mistake. Tonight guys, we get back to basics." Seth said.

"Look, I'm gonna defend my US title successfully, the only championship The Shield has left is the US title," Ambrose smirked. Morgan cleared her throat and The Shield turn their attention to her. He nodded. "Right." He said before looking at the camera again as Roman, Morgan, and Seth look at Dean as he continued to be cocky.

"How do you forget that?" Seth snapped. "She had one hell of a match last night "

"Seth, it's fine." Morgan touched his chest to calm him down.

"I am gonna get the job done like I always do 'cause I'm the United States champion," Dean went on as Morgan glanced at Seth and Roman giving Dean dirty looks. She was getting a little worried. "I am the baddest man alive. Believe that!"

After a long period of Roman looking at Dean, he turned his attention to the camera. "Believe in The Shield!"

'In The Ring'

After some back and forth action, Dean's match against Big E ended up as a DQ once Roman Reigns decided to pull the rope back, making Big E fall out of the ring. The Shield but Morgan jump Big E. Morgan gets in the ring but then the Usos run down the ring and start fighting Roman, Seth and Dean. They throw The Shield out the ring and Morgan looks at them as they turn their attention to her. They all turn their attention to the stage as Eva Marie walks down the ring in her wrestling attire and the crowd boos.

"It's Eva Marie!" Cole exclaimed. Eva smirks while Morgan has her arms out, waiting for her to come into the ring.

"Do something! I'm right here. What are you gonna do?" Morgan taunted as Eva got in the ring and got in each other's faces. 

The Shield, Usos and Big E look on intently, wondering if they should stop things or let them argue. Eva and Morgan start yelling at each other until Morgan shoves her face back. Eva turns around and tackles her down as the crowd cheers.

"Catfight!" King screamed in a high pitched voice.

"This is not a catfight; this is a brawl!" JBL exclaimed as both divas relentlessly hit on each other. 

The Shield quickly get in the ring to try to break it up. Morgan gets pulled off of Eva by Rollins and gets backed up into a corner by him, while Ambrose and Reigns help him hold her back.

"Get off of me! Get off!" Morgan yelled as she tried to break free of The Shield's hold. Eva was being held back by the Usos and Big E right across from her. "Seth! Back up! Get off of me!"

"Calm down, calm down." Rollins said in a calm tone.

"Wow, you don't see this every week. We should have this more often!" King looked on

"These two really hate each other," Cole said.

"Relax, Morgan, relax," Reigns added.

"Don't tell me to calm down! She needs to get her ass kicked!" Morgan yelled as she tried to squirm her way out of The Shield's hold. 

She manages to break free from their hold and run towards Eva. Eva escapes Big E and the Usos hold and spears Morgan to the mat and starts fighting her again.

"It's on!" Cole yelled.

"Woo Hoo!" King cheered

Eva managed to give her a couple of hard hits to the face until Morgan turned things around. Eva's hard hit managed to leave a red mark on Morgan's face. Seth grabs Morgan off of Eva and pushes her to the ropes and holds her tight while holding her and the ropes as she tries to break free. Meanwhile, Dean and Roman were arguing with Jey Uso and Big E.

"Control that ring rat of yours!" Dean yelled.

"We didn't know she was gonna come out!" Jey Uso shouted.

"Seth, get off of me!" Morgan yelled.

"Not until you calm down..." he responded. 

There was something about his calm voice that made her less angry. She gave up trying to break free of his hold while Eva Marie got out of the ring. Seth managed to get Morgan out of the ring but quickly grabbed her by the waist before she could run after Eva.

"This ends right here! Right now! Tonight! I'm gonna teach you a lesson!" Morgan yelled.

"Bring it on!" Eva yelled back. 

"Hang on! Hang on!" Brad Maddox said, walking on the stage. "Get those women calmed down!"

"Hey, Brad is back," JBL said. 

"We haven't seen him since Morgan gave him those chair shots," Cole reminded.

"I got a real simple solution. That match is now a 4 on 4 match. I want to see it right now." Brad said.

"What are you talking about?! I don't have to listen to you!" Seth yelled.

"Brad Maddox just ordered a 4 on 4 tag match. Divas vs. Divas. Superstars vs. Superstars." Cole announced.

"I like it!" JBL said as Raw went to a commercial break.

After the commercial break, Morgan watches as The Shield take control of an Uso. When the Uso fights back and hits Dean with a kick, Eva Marie shoots her hand out for a tag as the Uso looks at her. He decides to tag her in as the crowd boos. Eva blows Dean a kiss as Morgan shakes her head and gets tagged in by Ambrose.

They lock up and Morgan takes control and grabs her by the hair and throws her down. 

"Give her no mercy, Morgan!" Dean cheered on.

Eva stands up and elbows her in the midsection. She runs to the ropes but Morgan runs after her and when Eva turns around, Morgan gives her a knee to the gut.

"Nice!" Seth cheered

Morgan drops her down with a backbreaker. She drags Eva to the middle of the ring and is about to put her in the breakdown but Eva manages to grab the ropes. She gets dragged neck first to the middle rope by Eva as she holds her neck in pain. Eva takes advantage and pins her but Morgan kicks out at two. She starts to take control of Morgan and then taunts the crowd by flipping her hair and blowing kisses. 

While Eva is taunting the crowd, Morgan recovers and hits her with a clothesline and then dropkicks her. She was about to grab her for the backfire but Eva escapes and quickly tags in one of the Usos.

"Seriously?" Morgan retorted as an Uso got in the ring. 

Morgan tags in Seth. While they wrestle, Eva tries to distract Seth while Roman and Dean are wrestling Big E and the other Uso at ringside. 

Morgan gets in the ring. "Dude!" She called out before running to Seth. 

He caught her and spun her around as Morgan gave Eva a kick in the face as she fell off the apron.

"Wow, what a move!" King exclaimed as Seth set her down. 

Morgan gets out of the ring and puts her into the breakdown.

"They aren't even tagged in!" Cole exclaimed.

"Morgan wants to make her suffer." JBL looked on.

"Are you going to stay away from my boys!? Are you gonna stop messing with me!? Are you gonna stay away from my man!? Are you gonna mind your own friggin' business?!" Morgan leaned back as Eva yelled 'Okay!' and submitted.

Meanwhile, Seth brings his knees up when an Uso is about to do a splash and tags in Roman. They were about to double suplex him until the other Uso caught his brother and they hit them with a kick in the stomach. Morgan gets in the ring to help Roman as he leans on the middle rope, recovering from the Usos kick. Seth runs to the Usos but they duck and give him a kick, making him fall out of the ring. 

Morgan steps up to the Usos and gives them both slaps in the face which gets them angry. They look at each other and then at Morgan as her eyes widen.

"Grapes!" Roman yelled as she moved out of the way and he went on to spear the Usos.

"Oh! A double spear by Reigns!" Cole exclaimed as Reigns pinned one of the Usos for the win. "Distraction by Morgan gave Roman the advantage."

"Yeah!" Morgan exclaimed as she high fived Roman.

"The winners of this match, The Shield!" Justin announced as Dean gave Morgan her title while he had his title in his hands. 

Morgan turned her attention to Eva who was holding her right arm while standing up on the ramp and blew her a kiss.

'At the ending segment of Raw'

Morgan looked amused as Stephanie and Triple H walk down to the ring as The Shield got in the ring too. After Triple H's promo about Randy Orton, Orton gets in the ring. Stephanie was about to speak but she stopped when she heard the crowd chant 'Morgan got you'

Stephanie sighed and turned her attention to the Philly Diva. 

Morgan flashed her a grin. "Hey, how ya doing?"

Stephanie rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the crowd. "Okay, so she beat me up. I'm still standing here. Now...to more important things. Randy Orton isn't just our champion, he is everyone's champion. Which specifically means, Randy Orton represents all of you. So I'm asking you to show the WWE Champion the respect he so richly deserves." She said before giving Orton the mic.

"Having this title, being WWE champion, makes me simply put, better than you," Orton said.

"Wow..." Morgan mouthed.

"Do you have something to say, Morgan? Cause I'm tired of you talking behind my back." Orton snapped.

Morgan got handed a mic and spoke as the crowd cheered for her, "Oh trust me, you do not want to hear what I have to say. And I don't talk behind your back. I say stuff to your face. Get your facts straight." 

Orton glared at her. But then, The Big Show's theme came on as the crowd exploded. 

"What!?" Cole asks. "Can it be "

"It better not be!" JBL exclaimed as the Big Show marched down the ring.

The Shield but Morgan run out of the ring to attack Big Show but then The Usos and Rhodes Brothers attack them. Morgan got out of the ring, running away from The Rhodes brothers and Usos.

'Smackdown'

The Shield are shown on the titantron. "Jimmy...Jey...I'm getting a little sick of ya." Dean said as The Shield agreed. "The Shield is getting a little tired of the Usos sticking their noses in our business. We've beaten you time and time again, we've proven you're not contenders, you're not threats. Ya'll just speed bumps and tonight...it's no contest."

"It seems like they can't get the memo. Looks like we have to kick their butts once again." Morgan retorted.

"The Shield united. We can beat any tag team on planet Earth, we've proven it over and over and over, and tonight, we prove that the Usos are no exception." Seth said.

"I'm gonna speak up for The Shield right now." Dean began as Morgan and Seth turned to him while Roman glanced at him. Roman met Seth's and Morgan's eyes while Morgan shrugged at Roman. Rollins didn't look too pleased. "Tonight, the United States champion and Seth Rollins are gonna make sure that justice gets served."

"Believe in The Shield," Roman said to end the segment.

'In the ring'

Morgan and Roman manage Seth and Dean. Dean and Jimmy start the match. 

"Come on Dean," Seth said before Jimmy tagged in Jey and they did a double team move on him.

Dean fights back and tags in Rollins but Jey quickly takes control. Once Dean fights back and tags in Seth, Jey throws him to the turnbuckle and runs to him but Seth moves out of the way. 

"That's how you do it," Roman said once Seth began to get the upper hand.

"Yeah! Go, Seth!" Morgan cheered. 

Later, Jey was outside the ring after Dean threw him out. Roman was walking towards him until Big E's theme came on which made him upset.

"Are you kidding me!? No way! No way! He should not be here! Tell him to leave!" She argued with the ref.

"The Usos got themselves some back up," JBL looked on.

"Do what you want, step up." Big E said to Roman who is standing with Morgan and Seth.

"Get out of here!" Seth exclaimed.

Morgan started to get annoyed and was about to walk up to Big E to hit him but got grabbed by Seth. 

"Who do you think you are!?" she yelled.

"Looks like we have the guys all even. The Shield doesn't seem too happy." Cole said before Smackdown went on a commercial break. 

After the show comes back on, The Shield takes control of Jey.

"Justice!" Dean yelled on the apron as the crowd boos.

"Come on Uso! You can't handle the best! You can't handle the best." Seth got on the middle rope and jumped off of it but Jey counters and does a Samoan drop.

"You gotta get in. You gotta get in." Roman urged Dean as Morgan agreed. 

Jey tags in his brother while Seth tags in Dean.

"Tags are made. Jimmy Uso and Dean Ambrose." Cole said. 

Jimmy quickly takes control by doing his signature moves. He hits Dean with a kick in the face and pins him but then Seth breaks it up. Jey gets in the ring and gives Seth a spinbuster. Roman gets on the apron but the Usos hit him with a double kick. 

Morgan goes to help Seth and Roman but quickly moves out of the way as Jey dives on top of Roman and Seth outside the ring.

"Cannot catch a break," Morgan mumbled.

Meanwhile, in the ring, Jimmy pins Dean in a roll up for the win. 

"Here are your winners! Jimmy and Jey, The Usos." Lilian announced. 

Dean takes his frustration out on Jimmy and throws him out of the ring but gets clotheslined by Big E.

Morgan gets in the ring. "Hey! Put him down!" She exclaimed. Big E put him down and turned his attention to her. "This is all your fault! If you didn't come out here, we would have won!" she shoved him.

"I wouldn't do that Morgan," Cole warned. 

Morgan pushes him again and then slaps him in the face. She turns around but then the crowd cheers once Big E picks her up. 

"Big E isn't gonna stand for that." Cole looked on.

She tries to fight her way out of his arms but then Roman slides into the ring and hits Big E's leg as he kneels and drops her. Morgan crawls over to the turnbuckle and sits at the corner, recovering from what just happened. Roman rolled Dean out of harm's way and went to grab Morgan by her hands to pull her up to her feet.

"You all right?" He asked.

"Yeah, thanks." She responded but then Roman slowly turned around. 

He and Morgan turn their attention to Big E and The Usos across from them.

"Come on!" Big E provoked. "Come on!"

"Bring it on!" Roman yelled.

"Wait, wait, Roman, stop." Morgan grabbed his arm. "Don't do this right now. Hey!" she exclaimed as Roman tried to walk towards the three guys but Seth and Dean restrained him.

"Not today! Not today!" Seth tried to calm Roman down.

"I love it! Let him go, let him go! That's a big tough guy, Roman Reigns." JBL said while the crowd was loving it too.

"Morgan, Seth and Ambrose trying to be the voice of reason here," Cole said. 

The Shield get out of the ring as the crowd boos, wanting for Roman and Big E to go at it.

'Next week on WWE Main Event'

Tonight, Melanie was planning on dropping the Diva's Championship to April. She was excited to see what Creative had planned for her without the title.

In the ring, Morgan and AJ circle around each other. Morgan was set to defend her title against AJ in a lumberjill match. 

AJ and Morgan lock up but then AJ kicks her in the gut and throws her down on the mat as Morgan holds her head. She watches as AJ skips around the ring. 

"Mind games are being played," Miz said.

Morgan gets up and clotheslines her as the crowd cheers. She mocks AJ by skipping as the crowd laughs. AJ starts to get angry and runs to spear her but she moves out of the way while AJ runs into the ring post. Morgan starts to take control of her at the turnbuckle and then throws her out the ring. Later on, AJ starts to take control of Morgan and puts her in a headlock submission. 

"That champion is going to be mine Morgan...my title is going to come back into my arms. Where it belongs. Not with you." AJ said as she started to get angry and fights out of her hold.

Morgan gets on the apron, about to do a high risk move but Tamina grabs her legs and brings her down while AJ distracts the ref. 

"Oh! Tamina taking advantage of the distraction." Josh said. 

The face divas start to argue with the heel divas as AJ gets out of the ring and throws Morgan back in. She skips around before pinning her but Morgan kicks out at two. She puts Morgan in a camel clutch and the Philly Diva stands up. AJ wraps her legs around her stomach and holds her neck in a headlock. Morgan grabs her by the hair and throws her on the mat as AJ holds her back.

After AJ and Morgan give each other moves back and forth, AJ kicks her in the midsection and runs to the ropes to try to kick her again but Morgan ducks. She tries to kick AJ but she ducks and AJ gives her a spinning kick in the face as she falls on the mat. 

"What a kick by AJ." Josh exclaimed. 

AJ pins Morgan for a two count. Morgan gets up but then AJ gets on her back and tries to give her another submission. Morgan sighs out of frustration loudly. She backs up to a turnbuckle to get AJ off of her. She starts giving her clotheslines but then Tamina grabs her legs and brings her down. 

All the divas start to fight the heel divas as the crowd cheers. 

"And the divas go at it!" Josh yelled. 

Morgan gets on her knees but is hit by a shining wizard by AJ. She takes advantage and grabs Morgan into the Black Widow.

"Morgan's caught!" Miz exclaimed. Moments later, she was forced to tap.

"Here is your winner! And the new divas champion, AJ Lee." Lilian announced.

AJ let out a crazed laugh and grabbed the title, raising it up in the air.

Morgan held her arm and looked disappointed while AJ got out of the ring and was greeted by the heel divas. 

The Philly Diva glares at Tamina while getting helped by the face divas.

"Because of the distraction by Tamina, AJ is now the new Diva's champion," Miz looked on.

'WWE Exclusive Video'

Morgan is walking backstage, still disappointed in the match. She wiped the tears, threatening to fall from her eyes and saw Seth. 

"Come here." he wrapped her arms around her tightly, as she hugged him back.

"I feel like I let everybody down. I let The Shield down, I let Philly down, I let the divas division down, and I let the WWE Universe down." She said with disappointment.

"Hey." He sternly spoke as he released her. "You did not let anyone down. You tried your best. Let it motivate you to continue being the best diva you can be. You don't need the title to prove that you are worthy of being here." He reassured her with a smile and wiped her tears.

"Thank you, Seth. Really. Thank you for always being there,"

"Always,"

Morgan tweets 'Upset that I lost but that motivates me. I lost to the better woman. Congrats AJ. 116 days as Divas Champion. I'm proud of it and I hope I get a longer reign the next time I win the championship back.'

'Next Week, Monday Night Raw'

Orton was backstage in the medical room, being tended by a doctor. The doctor was putting ice on his shoulder. Orton had just been put into a table by the Big Show earlier this evening. 

The doctor tries to raise up his arm. "How does that feel?"

"How does it feel? You see what happened to me out there?" Randy retorted, still in a foul mood from getting his ass kicked.

The Shield but Morgan walk over to him. 

Dean puts his hand on the doctor's shoulder. "Peace out for a minute. Go take a walk." Dean gestured as the doctor left.

Seth stands next to Dean while Roman stands next to Seth. Morgan arrives and stands next to Roman but The Shield don't notice since they have their attention on Orton. 

"Sup man?" Seth greeted with a smile.

"What's up? What's up you say huh? Where the hell were you guys?" Orton asked. "Oh, I don't know about an hour ago? You know when I was in the ring getting my ass handed to me by the Big Show? Did you see what he did to me?"

"Champ..." Dean spoke

"Obviously not because you wasn't there " Orton vented on while Morgan stared at him with a confused expression. 

He was out of it. She couldn't believe how much whining he's been doing, blaming others for his problems. She rolled her eyes and ran a hand through her hair

"Champ!"

"...You didn't come for my rescue like last week." Orton threw the pack of ice off his shoulder and started to get upset. "We beat his ass last week! And now I'm getting my ass chokeslammed through a table! Where were ya?! What Dean!?" 

"Randy...it's none of your business where we were."

"Look man...we don't work for Vickie, we don't work for Brad Maddox, we don't work for Kane," Seth added.

"And we damn sure don't work for you," Roman remarked.

"Yeah..." Morgan retorted as she crossed her arms and looked away from the guys. 

A pause occurred as the crowd cheered for Morgan. She noticed the silence and looked to see the guys looking at her.

"What? Why is everyone staring at me? Do I have something on my face? What? What did I do?" she looked down at her attire and sighed. "Okay, I look weird in a cowgirl attire, don't judge me. I was doing a photo shoot for Raw Country next week. So, you can stop looking." She waved them away. 

The staring began to be too much and she started to blush out of embarrassment. "Okay, awkward! I'm out of here. You, you and you." She pointed at Dean, then Seth and then Roman. "Handle this...big baby." She gestured to Orton and walked away.

Roman and Seth turn their attention back to Orton. Seth noticed Dean staring at Morgan walking away and nudged him as he quickly turned back to Orton, clearing his throat. 

"Feel better all right?" Seth said to Orton.

"Heal up," Dean said as they walked away, leaving Orton angry.

'Later, Backstage'

Morgan is walking backstage and gets stopped by Tamina and AJ. "Oh look, it's the bitch who decided to cost me my match on Main Event. What the hell do you want?" She snapped as Tamina was about to step up to her but AJ got in between the two. 

Morgan did not like Tamina. Not one bit. She wanted to grab her by the hair and bang her head to a wall. She was so angry at her for making her lose the Diva's Championship.

"No fighting. Anyway, hi Morgan! See this?" AJ showed her the title. "This is mine. And it's back where it belongs. To me."

"Woopy doo." Morgan retorted. "You only won that because of this chick, right here." She pointed at Tamina. 

It's been a while since Tamina and Morgan faced each other. Tamina was more intimidating than ever. Morgan was wondering how tough she had gotten in the ring. 

She was competition.

"Don't blame me, sweetie, you got distracted." Tamina looked amused.

"Oh...so, you think you can give me cheap shots and get away with it sweetie?"

"I know I can, sweetie." 

"Well let me tell you something..." Morgan got in her face as they glared at each other. "You better give it all you got, Snuka."

"Oh, I will and I am gonna hurt you so bad, you'll run back to that boyfriend of yours...who was it?" Tamina looked at AJ.

"Well, I don't know..."AJ grinned at her. 

AJ had a feeling another Shield member was getting a little too close with Morgan. She would have to keep a close eye on that for mind games in the future.

"Tamina, I may not be intimidating to you, but I'm gonna make sure you get your ass kicked," Morgan said.

"Oh really? By who? You're gonna make The Shield go after me like you always do?" Tamina asked

The Philly Diva smirked. "Nope. I'll show you on Raw Country. Just watch your back."

Morgan tweets, 'I'm getting sick of Tamina. She better #WatchHerBack on Raw Country. Things are going to get Morganized.'

'Next Week Raw'

Morgan was at ringside while she watched The Shield go at it with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. She was back in her Shield attire and saw Punk and Dean starting the match. They lock up but Punk throws him to the ropes, only to be taken down by a shoulder tackle. Dean rolls his neck before running to the ropes, only to be kicked in the face by Punk. Punk tags in Daniel and they do a double suplex on Ambrose. 

"Let's go, Dean!" She cheered on.

Dean started to gain momentum by taking Daniel down and tagging in Seth. She winces as Seth is put into a submission by Daniel before tagging Punk back in, making Punk kick Seth in the chest. 

"Wonder what Morgan has planned tonight. The Authority is on vacation." King said as Roman got tagged in and took control of Punk. "I mean, she lost the championship and she's having problems with Tamina. What do you think is going through her mind right now?"

"Yeah!" She cheered as Roman double clotheslined Punk and Bryan. 

She loved the United Kingdom crowd. They were loud and entertaining to listen to.

"I think Morgan is just focusing on The Shield right now. She knows what she's going to do next week on Raw. I'm just curious about what she is going to do with Tamina. It's been a while since they faced each other. They both have improved so much over the months. It's going to be an interesting battle if they face each other in the ring soon." Cole said as Roman took control of Daniel and tagged in Seth.

Daniel manages to fight back and throw Seth and Roman out of the ring. He tags in Punk while Dean gets tagged in. Punk wears Ambrose down with some signature moves and the diving elbow. Punk pins him but Seth breaks up the pin.

"Phew. That was close. Seth look out!" Morgan warned but he got hit by Daniel's diving drop kick.

Seth falls out of the ring and Daniel dives out of the ring, almost throwing Seth into the crowd. As soon as Daniel gets up, he gets clotheslined by Reigns. 

"Almost took his head off!" Cole exclaimed as Morgan high fived Roman. 

The duo turns their attention to Punk, diving out of the ring, Morgan quickly moves out of the way as Punk attacks Roman.

"Bodies are flying everywhere," King exclaimed. 

Punk traps Dean in the anaconda device but then The Wyatt Family's intro comes on out of nowhere as the lights go out. The lights go back on to reveal, Seth and Morgan helping Dean up while they are in between Luke Harper & Erick Rowan and Punk & Bryan.

"Oh my god!" Cole exclaimed. 

Punk and Daniel's eyes widen while Morgan turns her attention to the big men. They were so scary looking. She slowly stands up with Seth and Dean. Bray Wyatt was outside the ring, and so was Roman. Punk pushes Seth while he and Morgan stumble into Luke Harper.

"Real mature." She glared at Punk and turned her attention to Luke. 

Seth was not happy when Luke pushed him out of the way. She could see Seth breathing heavily out of anger. This was not good. He and Luke faced each other while Seth started to point at him.

"I want them! I came to get them!" Luke pointed at Punk and Bryan. "I don't want you!"

"You put your hands on me!? Who do you think you are!? This is our match!" Seth yelled in his face as Luke showed off a wicked grin and nodded. "I don't know why you're here, what do you think you're doin' out here!? We had a match!"

"I came to get them! I came to get them!" Luke yelled in a hoarse voice. Dean pushed Seth back and tried to calm him down.

Morgan turned her attention to Luke. "Hey! Don't think you can just come here and interrupt The Shield's match!" She was about to hit him but he grabbed her forearm. She was taken aback at the sudden action.

Maybe she should have thought things through. She thought the Wyatts were here to pick a fight with The Shield. Maybe she should have listened to what they had to say.

"Oh no." JBL said. Morgan tried to pull her arm back but Luke wouldn't release her. He pulled her to him. "Morgan maybe should have kept herself out of this situation."

"I am not here to fight you!" Luke yelled in her face.

"Okay!"

"I'm not here for you!"

"Then why are you here?!"

He had her forearm gripped pretty tight. There was no way she could escape. She was creeped out by Luke, especially with Erick standing there with that crazy looking mask on. It was like a horror movie. A horror movie she did not want to star in. The way they looked at her creeped her out as well but she saw that they did not want to hurt her.

"I came to get them!" Luke pointed at Punk and Daniel. 

Realization hit her. The Wyatts wanted Punk and Bryan. Dean and Seth saw she was grabbed by Luke and quickly came to her rescue. Morgan looked at them with worry. The last place she wanted to be was with a bunch of guys, wanting to rip each other's heads off.

"Get the hell off of her!" Dean and Seth yell while they grab her other arm and try to pull her to them. 

Luke grabbed Morgan to him as the crowd was loving it.

"Stop it! I'm not a toy!" Morgan exclaimed. The crowd was chanting 'Yes!' when Luke pulled her to him and 'No!' when Seth and Dean pulled her to themselves.

"Poor Morgan, she's being grabbed like a doll," King said.

"I don't want to die!" She yelled, being pulled back to Luke. "I don't want to die!" She got pulled back to The Shield.

"Wouldn't want to be in her shoes," JBL said.

"Stop! I'm only 26!" Morgan continued to yell as she got pulled back to Luke. "Don't rip me in half!"

She got pulled back to The Shield once again.

"I don't think Morgan would want to be in Morgan's shoes," Cole exclaimed.

"Get your freakin' hands off my girl!" Dean glared at Luke before Luke released her as she stumbled into Dean's arms. "You all right?"

"Yeah." She replied. 

Seth started arguing with Luke again before Dean and Morgan tried to push him back.

"Are you kidding me? You're gonna come here and you're gonna put your hands on The Thorn of Justice?" Seth pointed at her.

"He was trying to explain something to me! If you were just friggin' listen!" She tried to explain but then Dean got in Luke's face. "Would you guys calm down for a freakin' second?!"

"I don't even know who you are." Dean said in Luke's face while Seth got in his face as well. "But I'm not going to be nice to the people who touch what I know belongs to me. Touch her again, see what happens."

Morgan was about to give up trying to separate these guys. "This is such a guy thing..." She retorted. 

There was no way she could stop this fight if they wouldn't even listen to her.

Luke slaps Dean's hand off his chest. 

"Don't you touch me." Luke said. 

Erick starts to get provoked and turns his attention to Dean as they both get in each other's faces. The crowd starts to get hyped. Seth and Morgan tried to push back Dean as a shoving match started to occur.

"Dean, listen to me. Calm down okay?" Morgan got in front of him and put her hands on his cheeks.

"All right, all right." Dean said as Seth held him and Morgan released him. 

Dean and Luke turn around and back off.

"They aren't gonna do it they are!" Cole yelled as Dean and Luke turned back around and punched each other.

"Oh my god!" JBL exclaimed

"Woo hoo! Woo hoo!" King cheered as the crowd exploded in cheers.

Morgan face palms as Dean & Seth fight Luke & Erick. 

"For crying out loud!" She yelled, throwing her arms up in the air. She shook her head and leaned against a corner, crossing her arms. "This is ridiculous..."

"Haha, Morgan looks like she's saying 'Screw it, do what you want, I don't give a damn anymore, you won't listen to me. " JBL said.

While she was watching them fight, she couldn't help but feel a little angry inside. Just because she's a girl does not mean they shouldn't listen to her.

'At Ringside'

"Hey!" Roman yelled, getting Bray's attention. 

Bray takes his hat off as Roman walks up to him.

"Get yo' boys and that rose out of here." Bray pointed to the ring, looking at Seth, Dean and Morgan.

"Get their asses out!" Roman yelled. "I'm not gonna ask you again. Get their asses out." 

He grabs him by the shirt and shoves him back but then Bray hits him in the face and starts to fight in the ring.

"That is it! Enough!" Morgan screamed. 

Roman grabs Erick off of Seth as both teams regroup. The Shield were still trash talking to the Wyatts and Morgan started to get even more irritated. 

She turned to The Shield. "Calm down! Calm down, right now! Enough of this BS! Get your freaking act together!" She pointed at them. 

Morgan got so frustrated while she kept looking at The Shield and Wyatts argue back in forth that she decided to scream with her hands on her head. It got the Wyatts' attention. The crowd was cheering loudly once again. She removed her hands and was breathing heavily from the yelling and screaming. Some hair was on her face as well. She turns her attention to The Shield again and gives them a stern look.

"That scream. Morgan is angry." Cole exclaimed.

"You all just pissed me off! Every single one of you! Instead of fighting, why don't you three just listen?!" She yelled. The Shield was about to protest but she cut them off. "Get your damn act together. Do you hear me? I said do you hear me!?"

The Shield reluctantly stopped fighting with The Wyatts and obeyed her.

"I'm tired of this, think of a resolution instead of escalating the conflict!" She got in the middle of the two teams and had her arms out, trying to separate them while the crowd chanted 'This is awesome!'

"Enough is enough." She continued.

"Morgan, trying to be the voice of reason here," Cole observed.

"You are going to listen to me whether you like it or not, I will kick each and every one of you if you don't shut up and listen." Morgan looked at both teams. "Now, give them a chance to explain." She said to The Shield, calming down a little.

Bray started to agree. "The rose with thorns is right!" He yelled, still trying to keep his men in check.

She turned to Bray. "State your purpose here, without violence." She demanded. 

She was a little intimidated by the Wyatts since they were tall and looked disturbing but she had to be the peacemaker and listen to their side.

"We aren't the ones you want. I'm saying, we have a common enemy! We have a common enemy!" Bray yelled at The Shield and over the crowd cheering loudly. 

Realization hit the male members of The Shield as everyone in the ring turned their attention to Punk and Bryan.

"Uh oh." Cole said. 

The two teams get out of the ring and go after Punk and Daniel but they slide in the ring. The Wyatts and The Shield surround the ring and jump Punk and Bryan. The Usos, Goldust and Cody run into the ring and brawl with the Wyatts and Shield while Morgan watches from outside. Once

The Shield are thrown out of the ring, she rushes over to them as the faces stand tall in the ring. 

"A chaotic ending for Raw. Guys, the question is this though, what will happen when the Authority returns to Raw Country live from Nashville." Cole looked on

"I can't wait for next week. What a night." JBL exclaimed as Raw went off the air.

Morgan tweets 'Never again will I play #TugOfWar with The Shield and Wyatts.'

'Buying myself some lemons, halls and hot tea to soothe my throat. That screaming messed me up. #ScreamQueen!' Morgan also tweets.

'Tuesday morning, at Jon and Melanie's Hotel Room'

Melanie was asleep while Jon was getting ready to go to the gym. "Mel, you gotta get up," he said.

"Five more minutes..." She mumbled and put a pillow over her head.

"You said that 15 minutes ago."

"I'm tired..."

"Well...I had something to do with that." Jon smirked to himself, reminiscing on last night.

"Yeah, it's your fault."

"My fault? You were the reason."

She removed the pillow from her head and sat up with some covers covering her upper body.

"How?"

"Because of that cowgirl outfit. You almost got me hard while we were working on screen." He confessed as Melanie started laughing. "Not funny."

"Haha, yes it is! Wow, that's a first. I'm taking a shower."

"Can I join?"

"Nope." She stuck her tongue at him and rushed to the bathroom.

"All right, and when you want it, I'll be waiting to hear you beg for it," Jon replied while he leaned on the bathroom door.

"Bluff!" she yelled from the bathroom as he chuckled. 

After Melanie was done, she put on green sweatpants, a black sports bra and a green sweat jacket over the sports bra with sneakers. "Ready?" She asked, while she put her hair in a ponytail.

"Yeah." he opened the door. "Ladies first."

"Such a sweetheart." she kissed him on the cheek and walked out the door. The couple hold hands while walking down the hall and after a few moments, they see Joe with a GameStop bag. "Oh my gosh, did you get COD Ghosts!?" She rushed up to him.

Joe chuckled and took the game out. "Hell yeah."

"Yeah!" Melanie high fived him. "I'm playing with you."

Melanie tweets 'Woo! WWERomanReigns got #CODGhosts today. #VideoGameMode #LetsPlay'

A fan asks 'Who's the better gamer WWEMorgan101? You or WWERomanReigns?'

'Lol, the one and only WWERomanReigns. #RomanIsABeast' Melanie replies.

'OMG! Thanks for replying to me! You are so cool!' the fan replies back.

'Aw, no problem. :)' Melanie replies to the fan.

A fan tweets 'I hope WWEMorgan101 gets another title shot.'

Melanie replies 'One day :)'

Another fan tweets 'Can I please get a retweet for my birthday?'

Melanie smiles and retweets and replies 'Happy birthday! Hope you have a rocking day :)'

The fan replies 'Thank you so much! You are the best! You made my day!'

Melanie tweets 'Going to the gym. #NoPainNoGain'

'To The Gym'

Melanie sees Colby chatting with Joe. "Yo dude." she grinned and hugged Colby.

"Aye, it's Melanie. What's up?" Colby asked while she stuck a piece of paper that said 'Kick me' on the back of his shirt.

"Oh nothing, just getting a kick out of you." she released him and kicked him in the leg.

"Ow! The hell was that for?" 

"Prank war is back on." 

He removed the paper from his back that said kick me. "Slick...don't worry, I'm going to get you back."

"I'll be waiting." She walked away and went to lift weights. 

Jon was sitting down on a bench, shirtless and sweating from his workout and watched her. 

A few minutes later, she caught him staring. "Take a picture, it'll last longer. Aren't you supposed to be working out?"

"I did, and I saw you staring at me."

"Oh yeah, seeing you sweating and shirtless, really turns me on." She joked again. "Now if you excuse me, I gotta work out."

"Well, let's just say, we're gonna have a workout tonight...in the bedroom."

"Cute." She chuckled while he walked away. She set the weight down and saw Brie and Nikki walking over to her. "Hey!"

"Hey, Melanie. The girls are working out over there. Wanna join?" Brie smiled.

"Sure." she followed them and met up with Nattie, Eva Marie, Jojo, Trinity, Ariane, Celeste and Victoria. "What's up?"

The divas greet her. "How's the working out coming along?" Celeste asked, sweating from lifting weights.

"I can't do as many weights as you but I'm managing. You do inspire me to work out more."

Celeste smiled at her. "Aw, thanks."

After the divas stretch and do their workouts, they sit down on the floor and have their girl talk. While Melanie was chatting with the girls, Colby walked up behind her. He grabbed a long piece of her hair and she heard the sound of scissors. 

"What the­-" Melanie turned around and saw Colby smirking at her and holding up a piece of brown hair and scissors that he got from his gym bag. "Colby! You cut my hair!?"

He started laughing and Melanie began to chase him.

"It's a joke, it's fake!" he exclaimed and showed the fake hair with its tag.

"Colby, you jerk!" She slapped him on the arm as he laughed.

"Can't believe you fell for it." Celeste laughed. "Poor Melanie. I don't think you're on your game today."

'WWE Main Event'

Backstage, Dean finished taping up his hands. Morgan walked up behind him and covered his eyes. "Guess who?" 

"Hm...Chyna." He smiled.

She laughed and uncovered his eyes as he turned to her. "Cute. Ready for our match, tonight?"

"Born ready."

"Great. Now, let's go slowpoke!" She started walking but then he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and walked with her.

"Who you calling slow?" He smirked.

'To The Ring'

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo,'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield'

Dean and Morgan walk out. "This is a mixed tag team match scheduled for one fall, introducing first, representing The Shield, Dean Ambrose and Morgan Lopez!" Lilian announced. 

Once Dean and Morgan walk through the crowd, Morgan jumps in the ring and gets on the turnbuckle to do her taunt to the crowd.

"Let's go!" She yelled as the crowd cheered. 

She grins and lowers her hand down and does The Shield taunt before getting down. She decides to sit on the top turnbuckle while Dean stands in front of her, waiting for their opponents. She massages his shoulders while Dolph Ziggler and Alicia Fox get in the ring. She gets off the turnbuckle while Ambrose holds her from behind and starts whispering in her ear.

"Ambrose and Morgan talking strategy, coming up next, Morgan and Ambrose will face Dolph Ziggler and Alicia Fox, when we return to Main Event," Josh said.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"And here we go. The ladies will be starting this mixed tag match. Morgan Lopez, the first and only female member of The Shield and also the girlfriend of Dean Ambrose is ready to face the foxy Alicia Fox. These two have history together." Miz said as Josh agreed.

Morgan and Alicia circle around each other in the ring. Alicia puts her hands into a heart and smiles at her before breaking the heart and glaring at her. 

"Ooh, I'm so scared." Morgan retorted before they locked up. 

Alicia grabs her into a headlock.

"What should Morgan look out for while she is in the ring with Alicia?" Josh asked.

"Her legs. Alicia has improved a lot lately. She executes beautiful dropkicks and her scissors kick has gotten more deadly. I fear for Morgan's teeth tonight." Miz answered.

"Alicia takes control," Josh said as she took down Morgan with a clothesline. She goes for the pin but Morgan kicks out at 1. "I have to agree, Alicia's long legs give her an advantage but these two know each other well. They've had a wild rivalry that escalated to a WrestleMania match."

"Yes, and that match was awesome," Miz said. "These two hated each other. They had wild food fights and backstage attacks and brawls. Morgan was not the one to be attacked from behind and she loved getting the last laugh. She showed us." He continued. Alicia throws Morgan to the ropes and dropkicks her. "Beautiful dropkick by Alicia!"

Alicia puts her into a headlock but Morgan fights back and elbows her in the stomach. Morgan starts giving her clotheslines and then throws her to the ropes. Alicia ducks her spinning kick while she is running towards her and kicks her in the mouth as Morgan holds her mouth in pain while she is down on the mat. 

"Ouch...I hope Morgan didn't lose a tooth." Josh looked on and cringed.

"Every time Morgan wants to fight back, she can't because Alicia is always in control. She needs to dig down deep." Miz said.

"Come on, Morgan." Dean gripped the ropes. Alicia grabs her by the hair but she quickly counters and stands up. She hits Alicia in the stomach with her knee and gives her a DDT. "Atta girl."

She grabs Alicia and throws her to the turnbuckle. She runs and gives her a dropkick and Alicia slides down to the bottom turnbuckle. 

"Morgan's fighting back," Miz said as she hit Alicia with a running knee to the face.

She then grabs her legs while Alicia holds the middle ropes. Morgan pulls her up and slams her down while Alicia releases the ropes.

"Stay on her, Morg." Dean encouraged. "Don't let her go."

Alicia and Morgan were standing up and Alicia decided to punch her in the face. Morgan returns the punch and they start punching each other back and forth as the crowd cheers 'Yay!' for Morgan and 'Boo' for Alicia. They go to clothesline each other but end up clotheslining each other at the same time as they both fall on the mat.

Dean and Ziggler had their hands out for a tag. "Come on, baby," Dean exclaimed as he tried to encourage her to give him a tag. 

Morgan and Alicia manage to tag in their partners. Morgan slides out of the ring to recover. Later on, Morgan was back on the apron, watching Dean give Ziggler a knee to the midsection. He puts him on the middle rope near her and starts distracting the ref. Morgan takes advantage and gives Ziggler a kick in the face as he holds his face in agony.

"Ooh! Did you hear that?" Josh asked as the crowd reacted to the sound of the kick.

"She's dangerous like Ambrose. They were made for each other. That's one unpredictable pair." Miz said

"Indeed."

Ziggler fights back and gives Dean 10 elbow drops before pinning him. Morgan gets in the ring and breaks up the pin.

"And Morgan saving the match," Josh said. 

The ref orders her to get back on the apron and she obeys. Alicia gets off her apron and walks over to her. She grabs her left leg and brings her down but Morgan lands on her feet. Alicia is about to clothesline her but she ducks and kicks her in the midsection. She then throws her to the barricade.

"Not today sweetie," Morgan said. 

She gets on the apron and gets a tag from Dean. They both give Dolph a double DDT while the ref was complaining. She gets out of the ring and throws Alicia back in the ring. She picks her up and gives her a backfire. She was about to pin her but stopped herself and looked at the turnbuckle. 

"What is she going to do here?" Josh asked as she got on top of the turnbuckle. Morgan executes a moonsault on Alicia as the crowd cheers. "Wow. Nice moonsault."

"1!"

"2!"

"3! Ring the bell!" The ref yelled as The Shield's theme came on.

"Here are your winners! Dean Ambrose and Morgan Lopez." Lilian announced. 

Morgan gets up and is picked up by Dean as she chuckles. She grins and caresses his face as she wraps her legs around his waist and gives him a long, passionate kiss.

"Guess they can't wait to get a room huh, Josh?" Miz asked as Josh chuckled.

"What a night it has been so far for Main Event." Josh said

Morgan tweets 'You can't run away from justice #JusticeHasBeenServedOnceAgain'

'Next Week, Hours Before Raw Country'

Melanie tweets 'Raw Country! Gonna party tonight! #CowGirlStyle'

Melanie and Sarona (Tamina Snuka) were in the ring. Melanie had a chair in her hands. "Okay, so, hit her like this." Melanie motioned her chair gently to Tamina's back as Stephanie nodded. They were making sure they had everything handled for tonight's diva fight. Melanie and Sarona were both used to being hit with chairs since they'd been practicing all evening.

"Hey, can we practice the part when you push me?" She asked as Sarona nodded and smiled. 

Sarona was one of the coolest people she had worked with. She loved her strength in the ring and can't wait to wrestle her again soon. She was so talented in the ring. It was an honor working with Jimmy Snuka's daughter.

'Backstage, Raw Country'

All members of The Shield and Orton were in a locker room, looking at the TV. Morgan had on the same cowgirl outfit she had worn for her photoshoot. Dean was smirking at the TV, watching Big E celebrate with the fans after his win against Curtis Axel. He had just won the Intercontinental Championship. Morgan showed a small smile. She was happy for Big E.

Orton turned his attention to The Shield. Morgan had her arms crossed and was standing next to Roman at the end but the camera didn't show her yet. 

"So tonight we have a new IC champion. Let's just hope that on Survivor Series, there is not a new WWE champion. Now I talked to the Authority. We're all on the same page and we have an understanding. You, The Shield, will have my back." Orton said.

"If that's what the Authority wants, that's what they'll get. But if we have your back, you better have ours." Roman replied.

Morgan cleared her throat as the camera revealed her with The Shield and Orton. She unfolded her arms. "As long as you don't whine like a big baby, we'll have your back. Excuse me." She retorted and left while Randy and The Shield watched her walk away.

Orton sighed. "You need to control her."

"S-­" Dean began but Seth cut him off.

"She's fine just the way she is," Seth spoke up as Dean and Roman looked at him and then agreed. "And if you weren't so cruel to her, and apologize to her, she wouldn't be acting this way towards you." 

Randy knew Seth was right as put his championship onto his shoulder. "I'll talk to her...soon."

'WWE Tout'

WWE decided to let WWE post a tout video of Morgan. "What's up Morganteers? It's The Shield's girl. Morgan Lopez. I just wanted to say that I hope Tamina watches her back tonight. She'll never know what hit her." She winked and walked away.

'Ooh, Musical chairs. My kind of game but without the musical part. #Chairs #TimeForSomeExtremeMeasures' Morgan tweets.

'In The Ring'

The Bella twins theme faded in the arena after they got in the ring. "And last but certainly not least, please welcome, Morgan Lopez!" King exclaims in the ring. 

The Bellas, Jojo, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Cameron, Naomi, Rosa, Kaitlyn, Alicia Fox, Tamina, and Aksana were already in the ring, in their cowgirl outfits.

'I've had enough, I'm taking you down'

The crowd cheers loudly when Morgan walks out on the ramp with a grin and twirls around while doing her taunt. She starts walking down the ramp. Every time Morgan gets in the arena and hears the fans cheering for her, she can't help but feel blessed. If it wasn't for the fans, she wouldn't be in the WWE right now. She was grateful for everything she had accomplished so far. 

"Morgan seems to be in a good mood tonight." Cole said, looking at her grinning and tagging the hands of some fans. 

She walks on the steps and gets in the ring by the middle rope. She gets on the turnbuckle and gets on the turnbuckle and does her taunt.

"Let's go~!" She yelled as the crowd cheered. She lowers her hand down in front of her, to do The Shield's taunt before opening her hand, making an explosion gesture with her hand. She jumps off the turnbuckle and gets ready. Tamina glares at her while Morgan smiles at her and waves. "Hey, how ya doing?"

"Hey, Morgan, can I see another twirl? Just one more." King asked.

"Sure." She smiled at him and twirled around again. Alicia, Aksana, Summer Rae and Tamina start hating while Morgan looked amused.

"Thank you. I love it when you twirl."

"Yes, you told me that 8,000 times already."

"Sorry. Well ladies and gentlemen, tonight on Raw Country, we're gonna have ourselves a special little game of musical chairs." King announced as the crowd cheered. The chairs were already set up in the middle of the ring. "It's gonna feature all the divas, the divas from the reality show and the other divas who didn't make it." he continued as the non total divas started to roll their eyes.

"Haters..." Nikki said as Brie agreed.

"Ladies, let's get this game going!" King exclaimed. 

The music starts playing but some of the divas start to argue and not move.

"Um, are we gonna move?" Morgan asked. None of the divas were walking around. "M.O.V.E!"

"Who are you yelling at?" Alicia snapped.

"Hello!? Go! March!" she snapped back. 

The divas start to slowly move but then the music stops. Morgan quickly sat down, next to Kaitlyn while Natalya was left standing. Natalya looks disappointed and Alicia starts waving goodbye.

"Okay, let's start the music again," King said as Natalya got out of the ring. 

The divas stand up while one chair is taken away. The divas start walking around again. The music quickly stops and everyone sits down. Alicia got bumped by Naomi's butt when they were both going for the same chair. Alicia was the only one not sitting down while Morgan was sitting next to Summer Rae.

"Snooze you lose," Morgan said to Alicia as the divas waved bye to her. 

The music starts again but then the divas start pushing each other. Morgan decided to remove herself from the conflict.

"Hey, hey ladies." King tried to calm everything down. "Y­-you gotta keep walking."

The music stops and Nikki pushes Kaitlyn out of her seat and a fight breaks out. All the chairs were scattered around but just one. Morgan looks around and rushes towards the chair to sit on it as the crowd cheers. She crosses her legs and looks at her nails. 

"We have a winner!" King announced

All the divas look at her. Feeling the attention, Morgan looked up.

"What?" she asked. 

Tamina steps up to her and pushes her as she falls backward off her chair. 

'Oh!' The crowd exclaimed.

"Jeesh!" Cole shouted. 

The non total divas but Kaitlyn started laughing at Morgan and that was when the Total Divas attacked the non total divas.

"Now you've done it." Morgan stood up 

"Musical chairs has broken down." Cole said. "Divas everywhere. Get out of there King."

Tamina starts fighting with Natalya and takes her down. Morgan grabs a chair and waits for Tamina to turn around. Once she does, the crowd 'Ohs' when Morgan whacks her with it in the face while the Total Divas are throwing out the Non Total Divas. Tamina stumbles and turns around as Morgan whacks her back. 

"She just hit Tamina with a chair!" Cole shouted.

"I don't think Morgan cares," JBL said. 

Morgan drops the chair and hits the backfire on Tamina, on the chair as the crowd cheers. The Non Total Divas drag Tamina out of the ring as she holds her head and glares at Morgan. 

The Total Divas Theme, 'Top of The World' comes on as the Total Divas stand tall in the ring.

"Yeah...you may wanna ice that." Morgan chuckled at Tamina and tapped her head.

"This isn't over!" Tamina yelled.

"You started it! I'm gonna finish it!" Morgan yelled back

Fans Tweet, 

'This segment sucked until Morgan hit Tamina with a chair. Highlight of the segment!'

'Worst diva segment ever until Morgan grabbed a chair.'

'Pointless segment until Morgan proved me wrong.'

Morgan tweets 'That looked and sounded like those chair shots hurt TaminaSnuka #ThatsWhatYouGet #NeverMessWithTheThornOfJustice'

'Later on Raw'

'Sierra'

'Hotel'

'India'

'Echo'

'Lima'

'Delta'

'Shield'

The Shield walk through the crowd while Morgan had on her Shield attire. She smiles at the crowd and tags some of their hands while Justin Roberts introduces them. 

"It was a year ago at Survivor Series when all 4 members of The Shield debuted." Cole said as they jumped over the barricade and regrouped in front of the announce table.

All of a sudden, the Wyatt family's intro came on. 

'We're here'

Morgan watches the Wyatt family slowly walk down the ramp. 

"This is going to be interesting." She mumbled with her arms crossed as the lights came back on. 

She could hear Bray chuckling as the Wyatt family walked over to The Shield. It was so creepy. That chuckle was disturbing. 

The Wyatts meet up with The Shield as both teams stare each other down. The Wyatts looked away to get on the apron but Morgan noticed that Luke Harper was looking at her longer, than the other members, which made her ponder.

'Ding Ding Ding'

"Let's go baby!" She cheered for Dean. He was starting the match against Jimmy Uso. Moments later, Jey and Roman Reigns take on each other. Then, the faces take control of Roman. "Come on Roman!"

The Shield start making quick tags until Luke decided to tag himself in by tapping Seth on the back. Luke gets off the apron to face one of the Usos that was hurt outside the ring. 

"What's your problem, huh?" Seth shouted as he got out of the ring.

"Stop. Don't." Morgan held him back.

"We're a team here," Luke said.

"I agree!" Morgan nodded and tried to reason but then Roman and Dean helped her hold back Seth as the Wyatt family came to Luke's aid. They all started arguing while Morgan rolled her eyes. "Forget it...I'm not wasting my breath anymore."

The crowd chants 'Fight' as the argument starts to escalate. The ref breaks it up and the crowd boos once Luke gets in the ring. 

"Are we going to hear Morgan scream again? Last week was hilarious." JBL said

"I hope not." Cole replied. "I brought my earplugs just in case."

'Later'

Daniel Bryan tries to make a tag to one of his teammates since he was beaten down by The Shield and Wyatts tagging back and forth. Seth, Roman and the Wyatts get in the ring and knock down their opponents off the apron. Morgan starts laughing at the opposing team until Goldust stands up and turns his attention to her, walking over her way.

"What? What are you gonna do?" She asked with a smug look. Goldust takes a deep breath and breathes in her face as she stumbles back. She automatically got creeped out. "Back off! What is up with me and mad men this month?" She exclaimed as the crowd laughed.

"Uh oh." JBL said as she backed away from Goldust and started to get chased by him. The Shield try to come to her rescue but Punk and the Usos take them down. 

Luke gets out of the ring and stands near the announce table, watching Morgan getting chased

"Get him away from me!" She shrieked as the crowd was enjoying the sight

"Run Morgan! Run!" King cheered on. 

She trips and falls near Luke as Goldust starts to stalk over to her. He does his deep breath taunt as she scrambles back.

"Get away from me!" She yelled. 

Goldust looked amused until Luke came out of nowhere with a running clothesline.

"What a clothesline!" Cole exclaimed. 

Morgan's eyes widen and snaps her head to Luke who has his attention on Goldust. Luke slowly turns to her and stares.

"He just saved Morgan." JBL looked on.

"Why would a member of The Wyatt family want to save a member of The Shield?" Cole asked as Luke had his hand out. 

Morgan reluctantly takes it as he helps her up.

"Are you all right?" He asked in his hoarse voice.

"Yeah. Why'd you save me?" She asked.

"I don't know." He vaguely replied and turned his attention back to the match, leaving Morgan in wonder.

Near the end of the match, CM Punk gets tagged in and cleans house. 

"Here we go! Air Punk!" JBL exclaimed as Punk hit Ambrose with a diving elbow. 

He puts Dean in the GTS position but he escapes it. Bray Wyatt distracts Punk and that allows Dean to grab him from behind. Punk counters Dean's attack and puts him in the Anaconda Vice. Luke and Erick break the submission up but then the Usos throw them out of the ring and hit them with a dive outside the ring.

Dean and Punk get up and bump backs. They quickly turn around and Punk sets him up for the GTS once again before Dean escapes it and hits his finisher on him. 

"Yes! Pin him!" Morgan cheered. Dean goes for the pin but Goldust breaks it up. "Are you kidding me!?"

As soon as Goldust stands up and turns around, he gets speared by Roman. 

"Spear!" Cole exclaimed. 

Cody gets in the ring and hits Roman with the Cross Rhodes. Seth gets in the ring and attacks him with a powerbomb on the turnbuckle. Then Punk and Daniel do a double team move on Seth and throw him out of the ring. And then, Punk hits the GTS on Dean for the win.

"The winner of this match, Jimmy and Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Goldust, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk." Justin announced.

Fans tweet:

'Morgan has been attracting some weird guys lately. Lol.'

Forced To Believe Chapter 24- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 7

Chapter Summary:  Melanie continues to spend time with the divas and encourages Jojo to sing)

Words: 1,000+

-----

'Grand Rapids, Mi At Hop Cat'

Jojo, Ariane, Eva Marie and Melanie, Nattie sit together. "I love me some pancakes." Jojo laughed.

"Jojo can eat whatever she wants." Nattie grinned.

"I know right! She's pretty lucky." Melanie smiled.

"So guys, I have some exciting news to tell everybody." Eva Marie said excitedly. "Um, Maxim wants me to shoot for them."

"Oh my God!" Jojo exclaimed as Ariane squealed and clapped for her.

"That's so cool." Melanie cheered.

"I'm so proud of you." Nattie smiled.

Nattie (As much as this pains me to say, I think Eva Marie has an IT factor.)

"Everything has been happening so fast," Eva said in awe.

Ariane (You know, you never know about the newbies. Cause in a blink of an eye, boom, they could be the face of the company and I'm worried because we can be replaced.)

Melanie (I'm proud of Eva Marie. That can really be her debut.)

"It comes out in August which is close to SummerSlam, I'm like, on cloud nine," Eva said.

"Wow..." Jojo replied, a little upset.

Jojo (I'm happy for Eva, but at the same time, I'm kind of bummed out that Eva is getting this push and I'm like kind of falling back. I need to be noticed too.)

"This can explode for you," Nattie added.

"SummerSlam, girl that may be a chance for you to make your debut girl," Ariane said.

"That's what I'm saying~" Eva grinned.

'Tampa, FL'

The Total Divas meet up for lunch and sit down together. "Well, you guys, Maxim magazine wants me to be in a feature," Eva announced.

"Awesome!" Nikki grinned as the other divas agreed

Nikki (When Eva Marie tells us the news, it is a little threatening, like here's the new push, here's the new poster child.)

Brie started telling everyone how she and Nicole were on a Spanish Maxim shoot. 

"I wonder what it's like to be in a magazine. Like, be on the cover." Melanie pondered. 

Melanie (I'm really happy for The Bellas and Eva being in magazines. Even though I'm in the WWE magazine, I really would like to be on the cover of it one day. But that usually is if you get a push or something. But never say never. I'll have my fingers crossed. It'll be cool to have a diva on the cover of the WWE Magazine. It's been a while since that happened.)

"So guys, I have a question. So Vinny, wants his parents to meet my parents." Ariane revealed.

"Ooh!" Nikki exclaimed. "When you have families meet, isn't that like taking the next step? Marriage?"

"Uh..." Ariane looked around.

"Jon met my parents before we started dating." Melanie grinned.

"Phew, good, I feel much better now," Ariane said as Melanie chuckled.

Ariane (I'm not ready for marriage yet, it's only been ten months. I feel like I really want to be able to spend more quality time with him before I make that big step to being married and having kids.)

"I'm not ready for that." Ariane confessed.

"You're not ready for marriage?" Brie asked.

"What makes you not want to get married?" Nikki asked.

"I just feel nervous," Ariane replied.

"I mean, do you love him?" Nikki continued to ask questions.

"I have love for him but I do not love him yet."

"What?" Brie asked, looking confused.

"Huh?" Melanie asked with confusion.

"What?" Nikki added while Brie made a sound effect of a car stopping.

"Wait a second." Jojo began.

Ariane (I think Vincent is an amazing, sweet, caring, loving, just all of the above. But sometimes he can push my buttons. Is Vinny the one? I don't know yet.)

"John walked into my life, and I would sacrifice things for him because he has my heart. But I hear you talk, I just don't feel the love." Nikki said.

"I feel that Nikki is ready to take the next step in her relationship but you're not. So why meet his parents if you're not ready for the big step?" Brie asked.

"Can I ask you one thing? Can you live without him?" Nikki asked.

"I don't know..." Ariane sighed.

'Powerhouse gym'

Trinity, Jojo, Melanie and Jon (Trinity's fiance) hang out with each other. 

"How's Eva?" Melanie asked as the girls lay down.

"She's really good." Jojo replied.

"That's crazy about the Maxim thing," Trinity said

"I know. It makes me want to step up and do something." Jojo sighed.

"Yeah, I feel you. You should."

"I have an idea but I'm kind of hesitant."

"What's the idea?" Melanie asked.

"Singing," Jojo revealed. "Like, at one of the Raws or Smackdowns."

"That's awesome. You should go for it. Your voice is talented." Melanie nodded in approval.

"I agree. You can really sing, I heard you." Trinity said.

"How about ya'll talk and work out. How about that?" Jon said. 

Trinity playfully threatened him while Melanie chuckled.

"It just scares me to talk to Mark and Jane. I don't want to be, 'Oh yeah I can sing' but then turn out and suck." Jojo said.

"This can make or break you," Trinity said as Melanie agreed.

Trinity (WWE is all about entertainment. Everyone loves singing and dancing. Something that people identify with.)

"Eh...I sing a little bit on my own. But you know..." Trinity shrugged.

Trinity (Jojo is on to something here. And I have no idea why I didn't think of this first.)

"What did you want to sing if you were able to go out and sing?" Melanie asked

"The National Anthem," Jojo replied.

"Oh!" Trinity spoke.

"What?" Jojo chuckled.

"That's a hard song to sing. I'd be terrified to sing that. There's no room for error in singing that song."

"I know it's really, really hard but that's why I'm like, should I do it? Should I not do it?"

"Would it make you feel better if I was out there with you?"

"That's a great idea." Melanie high fived Trinity.

"Yeah. If I was there with you, you wouldn't be as scared. Cause it'll be two of us." Trinity said.

"That'll be great. I would love that." Jojo beamed.

"How about we do our song?" Trinity suggested. "Somebody call my momma."

"Really?" Jojo widened her eyes.

"It's a fun song, everybody loves it. We can even bring Ariane in the mix. It can be all three of us. Destiny's child."

"Ooh, what about Melanie? Can you sing?" Jojo asked.

Melanie shook her head. "Just dance."

"Melanie can break it down for us." Trinity grinned

"I would love to but I can't because it would totally break my character," Melanie informed them

Melanie (Yeah, being The Shield's Girl and Dean Ambrose's girlfriend onscreen would not fit well if I was dancing with them.)

"Darn...I wanted you to booty pop." Trinity chuckled.

"Destiny's child? That's pushing it." Jon chuckled.

"You don't like the idea?" Jojo asked.

"I do like it," Jon replied. 

Melanie and Jojo laughed when Trinity jumped on Jon and grabbed him from behind.

"Oh my god, Trinity what is wrong with you?" Jon exclaimed as he fell off the workout ball.

'WWE Main Event'

"They're about to go out there." Melanie walked over to Eva Marie and Brie.

"This is going to be in front of thousands of people." Eva Marie said.

"And this is live. They can't mess up. There's no redos." Brie added. 

Eva Marie, Brie, Melanie, Jane and Nattie watch Jojo, Naomi, and Ariane in the ring, singing.

Jojo (Oh man...we are not off to a good start at all.)

"Yikes..." Melanie cringed as she watched them sing while the girls agreed 

Eva Marie (This is really bad. Everyone sounds off key. I hate to say it, what goes around, comes around. And it's kind of what Jojo gets for not supporting me.)

After their song, Trinity, Ariane and Jojo walked up to them backstage. 

"Oh my gosh, how do you guys feel?" Brie asked.

"Okay." Ariane said

Trinity (I think it wasn't the best but I think it was okay. It's mediocre.)

Ariane (I guess it wasn't a complete train wreck or was it?)

Jojo (This is an epic fail. Honestly I'm not sure what my next move is.)

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 42- BTS Now 2

Chapter Summary: Jennie gets an allergic reaction to Pineapple as she teams with Hobi for BTS Now 2

Words: 2,000+

--------

‘BTS Now 2’

‘2 Different Trips’

‘Mission Start!’

‘Which teammates do the members want?’

“I worked with Tae Tae the last BTS Now, so it’s best to work with someone different this time. My first pick is Hobi.” Jennie announced. “Why him? Because he’s a burst of energy! Come on, who wouldn’t want to take photos with J-Hope? Seriously, he’ll make the entire experience fun. My second pick is Jin. He’s flawless and takes phenomenal photos. He’s a King. I would want him in my photos, for sure. And my third pick? Rapmon. His photos are badass. I love his swag. It’d be fun to pose with the leader of BTS.”

The next day, the members head to the Berlin Wall to take photos. The guys were in black suits, while Jen wore black pants, a white shirt and a black blazer. One of the stylists had placed a pair of glasses on her face to complete her look.

“What an adorable nerd.” She complimented herself before checking out the view of the water. “Berlin is so pretty.”

When it was her turn to shoot, she had a mug of tea with her, taking sips of it while the photographer snapped away.

Once the team results were in, the members found out who they were with and came up with team names.

Team Sunshine- Jen and J-Hope

Team Noncommittal- Jimin and Suga

Team High- Rapmon and V

Generation Gap- Jin and Jungkook

‘Mission instructions. Each team should create photo shoots with a theme. Concept: High-end fashion.’

As the members got their makeup retouched, each team met up to discuss what they wanted to do for their concept.

“What do you wanna do?” Jennie asked as Hobi decided to dance around goofily, making weird sound effects. She stared at him before jokingly saying, “Yeah, no.” and shared a laugh with him.

“Let’s do a goofy concept.” He suggested.

“Keep the Sunshine vibe.” She nodded as they thought of some poses. Once it was their turn to shoot, Hobi immediately jumped on her back, causing her to groan. “I thought I was getting on your back!”

“Hehehehe! This is fun!”

“Oh, I’m sure it is!” She sarcastically replied. As they snapped some photos, she began to spin around, causing him to panic.

“Drop him!” Jimin giggled.

“Don’t drop me!” Hobi yelped.

After a while, she set him down. “I wouldn’t do that to you.” She giggled as she watched him try to calm down. 

Other photos they shot were of them using Jen's hair as mustaches, jumping around, and happily smiling for the camera near one of the trees.

After shooting, the members took a lunch break at a pizza place.

“Is this pizza?” Jin’s eyes widened happily when he saw the large pizza stacked with various toppings such as pineapple, mushrooms, and chicken.

“FOOD!” Jennie happily said, taking a seat in front of Hobi as she sat in between Jimin and Jin.

It’s been a while since she’s had pizza.

‘Everyone’s stoked at the overwhelming size of the pizza’

“Amazing. Look at this. Wow...” Hobi gushed over the food.

Grabbing a slice for her plate, Jen took a couple of bites. When she suddenly felt her lips tingle, she stopped eating and placed the pizza down. 

Watching her put her fingers on her lips, Hobi noticed her sudden change in mood.

“You, all right?” He asked with concern.

“I think so.” She answered with uncertainty and decided to take another bite that had most of the pineapple on it. This time, her mouth began to throb. “Okay, my mouth feels weird.”

“What do you mean?” Jimin turned to her as she took a sip of water to possibly stop it but to no avail.

“M-my mouth is...it’s throbbing.” She exclaimed.

“Your mouth is throbbing?”

“I’m serious, my mouth is really throbbing. I-I think I might be allergic to pineapple.”

“What??” Jimin’s stomach dropped as he watched her with worry.

Whenever her mouth met the pineapple, her mouth tingled. Seconds later, her lips and tongue began to swell up.

“Munchkin...” Hobi called out. “Your lips!”

“I think there’s something wrong.” Jin turned to the staff, pointing out that something was going on with Jennie. The rest of the members turned to her and looked in distress as they saw how swollen her lips were getting.

“Oh God, I need to hurl.” She got out of her seat and rushed to the bathroom. The female staff members immediately followed her.

“She’s going to need to go to a hospital.” The members heard Manager Sejin say as he took out his phone in a flash.

As she went into the bathroom to throw up, the staff that followed her, helped her and noticed that she was starting to develop hives.

“Jennie, you’re starting to get hives! We need to take you to a hospital.” She heard one of them say as she rolled up her sleeves to see them, looking at herself in the mirror.

“What the hell is going on!?” She started to freak out.

She felt extremely uncomfortable in her skin. She just wanted this to be over. Why did this have to happen to her? This was the first time pineapple had affected her like this and this was the first time in years since she’s had pineapple.

While Jennie was taken to the hospital to get her allergic reaction treated, the members continued with their shooting, taking individual photos. They tried to stay focused but all that was on their minds was Jennie, as they hoped that she was okay and it wasn’t serious.

Jimin and Hobi seemed to be affected the most as they tried not to look sad for the cameras around them. 

“I’m so worried. She was swelling up so badly.” Jimin frowned. He sounded like he wanted to cry.

“I know...my munchkin....” Hobi sighed, shaking his head. He wasn’t as cheerful since Jennie had left.

“She’s bulletproof. She’ll stay strong. And we gotta stay strong, too. She’s going to be OK. Let’s stay positive.” Namjoon patted them on the back, giving them hope.

As filming progressed, Jungkook called out Jimin as he filmed him. “Is it your turn now?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go.”

The Golden Maknae proceeded to film him taking more shots.

‘Jimin looking cute, seems to be waiting for someone under the sun’

“Who are you waiting for?” Jungkook asked.

“I’m waiting for Jennie.” He replied instantly. “I miss her. I wish she was here. I’m looking forward to her return.”

“She’ll be excited to see you. But she’ll be way more excited to see me, just so you know.”

“You wish!”

‘Miss Bangtan Is Missed Dearly’

Next, BTS heads off to Sweden. Jennie arrived in Sweden later with Manager Sejin. She was told to take it easy today. The staff wanted to be safe than sorry. Her hives had gone away and she felt much better than yesterday. She was in good spirits.

When Sejin and Jen arrived at the spot where BTS’ first shoot in Sweden was kicking off, Jungkook was the first to notice her as a huge grin came across his face. He instantly ran up to her at full speed.

As she watched him run up to her, she prepared herself, letting out a laugh once he collided with her. She stumbled back from the impact as they wrap their arms around each other.

“I missed you too, Kook.” She beamed as he held her tighter.

“Did you see how fast he ran up to her?” Yoongi let out a chuckle. 

Actions speak louder than words.

“Jennie!” Jimin, Tae and Hobi run up to her, wrapping their arms around her and Jungkook to join in the hug.

“She’s back! She’s back!” Namjoon cheered, joining the hug with Jin and Yoongi.

“H-hey, guys, don’t rough her up, she’s still recovering. She needs to take it easy!” Sejin warned. “Don’t squeeze her to death. Let her breathe.”

“Ah, I think I’ll be okay with hugs.” She reassured him after she was released.

Taehyung wasn’t done with his affection as he kept kissing her cheeks.

“Tae!” She tried to push him off, laughing at the constant feel of his soft lips all over her face, from her forehead, cheeks and nose. 

The staff and the members burst out in laughter as they watched her get drowned with his enthusiastic kisses.

“That’s what you get for worrying us,” Jin added with a laugh. “It’s all out of love.”

After his kisses, Jen had her makeup done, putting on freckles like the rest of the members, joining in for the photoshoot.

“He has been holding onto me ever since I got back.” Jennie chuckled on camera as Taehyung had his arms around her from behind, pressing his cheek against hers. His boxy grin appeared on his face as he talked about how much he missed her.

After he was forced to release her to take his individual shots, Hobi approached her with a bright smile. “I’m so happy you’re okay!”

“Thanks, Hobi. Sorry for letting you down yesterday.” She frowned.

“Hey, don’t think like that.” He grabbed a hold of her hands, giving them a gentle squeeze as he spoke seriously. “I don’t care about winning this contest. I’m with you, having fun. That’s all that matters. I’m glad you’re OK. You’re here with us and I am happy that your allergic reaction wasn’t worse.”

She smiled, grateful for how understanding he was. “Thank you.”

“Always, Munchkin. Now let’s continue to have fun and stay away from pineapple.” He kissed her forehead.

Subsequently, the members waited around for a new location to shoot because it started to get crowded where they had been shooting before. Jungkook decided to film to pass the time, checking out the scenery and the weather.

He turned around and spotted Jennie. “Jennie! How do you like Sweden?” He asked

His question made her smile. “It’s lit!”

Jimin got in the shot. “I wanna be on camera!” He grinned. “Sweden.”

“Cute outfit,” Kook commented, panning down to show off what Jimin was wearing.

“This is Sweden. At age twenty, dressed in bulletproof, I aim the gun.” Jimin started to rap goofily on camera.

“Oh Lord...” Jennie face palmed.

“Looking like a number one. We are super popular idol.” He continued.

“How do you like it here?” Jungkook asked Jimin.

“I love it. It looks so pretty. I heard Gamla Stan is a street of cafes.”

“But now there are too many people so we can’t shoot.”

“Yeah, but I think this is so nice. We had a photoshoot there and the streets were beautiful. Don’t you feel a little like a European?”

“Not at all.”

“Agreed,” Jennie added.

As it rained, Jennie, Jimin, Yoongi, and Tae sat at a table together, avoiding getting rained on, while the rest of the members sat behind them. Sitting next to Jimin, Jen rested her head against his shoulder and he wrapped an arm around her waist. 

He occasionally glanced at her with a smile as she rested her eyes. He was pleased to know that his great friend was OK and that she wasn’t going too hard on herself, today.

They get treated to dessert as Yoongi and Tae share one plate while the other plate is for Jen and Jimin.

Jimin scooped a small spoonful of the dessert and fed her, causing Yoongi to roll his eyes. 

“Really Jimin?” He bluntly questioned his motives while Jen lifted her head from his shoulder.

She chuckled softly at his kind gesture after enjoying the treat. “I don’t need to be fed.” She kindly insisted as Jimin removed his hand from her waist.

“But you need to take it easy. I don't want you to tire yourself out,” He reminded her. 

It was cute that he cared so much and offered to feed her.

“She doesn’t need to take it that easy.” Yoongi shook his head. “Jennie just tell him to fuck off. He’ll take a hint.”

Taehyung giggled loudly once he heard Yoongi curse while Jimin stared at him, appalled at his rude statement.

“Y-Yoongi! We are being filmed!” Jen shouted, widening her eyes.

“They can bleep it out or not show this part.” He waved her comment away. Seems like he was in his IDGAF moods, again.

“Chim, don’t listen to him. You’re just fine. Thank you for being so sweet to me.” She reassured him.

The next destination was Brazil. All the members received tans from being in the sun constantly. Jen had shot photos with the graffiti background by jumping around, doing the flower pose and having her trademark bright smile shown for the camera.

“What are you doing?” Jungkook giggled, covering his face as he watched her pose playfully.

“I’m tryna pose! What are YOU doing?” She responded, switching to another pose.

“Observing.” He answered as he continued to watch her. He decided to distract her by making derpy faces.

“Kook, stop.” She suppressed her laughter and switched to her next pose.

Determined to make her laugh, he ended up performing his signature derp dance. Once he started dancing, she burst into laughter, unable to control it. Jungkook laughed with her, elated that he made her laugh.

“Go away!” She playfully shoved him back so she can continue her shoot.

Their last destination was America. 

“AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Jennie shouted loud and proud as she walked with the members to their first shooting, with yachts, portraying Marines.

Hobi held her hand and swung it as they walked around. 

“How happy are you to be back home?” Jin asked as he walked with her and Hobi.

“AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAA!” She shouted again, causing him to laugh loudly. “But for real, watch us get kidnapped again.”

“Let’s not think about that, sweetie.” He let out a nervous laugh, thinking about American Hustle Life.

Greeting the yacht owner, they sail on the sea, while taking turns for photos. Jennie ended up photobombing some of them, as she hugged Jungkook and Jimin from behind while they were smiling for the camera, sharing earbuds.

Jennie watched the sea, as the wind blew in her hair. “This is so pretty. You should always just sit back and enjoy your surroundings.”

After their big trip was done, each team checked out their best photos, back in Korea. Yoongi and Jimin won the best photo and made the rest of the members blur out their faces for their penalty. 

BTS Now 2 became another successful event and the members looked forward to a third one.

Forced To Believe Chapter 23- You Look Like You've Seen A Ghost

Chapter Summary: Melanie visits another wrestling company which sparks a ton of debate as she reunites with an old friend

Words: 2,000+

-----

After Melanie got off the phone, it was revealed to be Dixie Carter from TNA who was hoping she could come by for a short time to join AJ Styles in a storyline. Surprisingly enough, WWE had talked with TNA about it and had permitted Melanie to attend, They made sure to keep it under wraps with everyone besides the higher ups of each company. It would also enhance the current storyline she was in since her character stormed out of the ring, yelling that she was done.

She was excited for the extremely rare opportunity and she hoped the forbidden door would continue to be open for future opportunities in the future of WWE.

'Next Morning'

When she got through security and all the other qualifications, she knocked on Dixie's office door. 

"Melanie! I am so happy to see you here sweetheart." She grinned and hugged her. "Come on in." 

Melanie walked in with her gym bag and smiled. "Thanks for having me. I missed TNA."

"TNA has missed you, honey. Since you will be here a little while, I have not told anyone you are here but some producers and Allen (AJ Styles) since you will be in a little storyline with him. I know the fans want to see you and him reunite."

"Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of that on Twitter."

"I'm shocked WWE agreed to this. But we won't take it for granted. I know your stay on TNA is temporary but it's never too late to consider staying full time. You have some loyal fans here sweetheart."

The Philly Diva nodded. "For now my heart is with WWE. But in the future never say never to coming back full time for TNA,"

'Knock Knock Knock'

Allen (AJ Styles) walked in. "Long time Melanie."

"Hey!" She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "Long time no see! How are your wife and kids?"

"They are doing great. They miss you."

"I miss them too. I gotta visit them again one day." She turned her attention back to Dixie. "So Dixie, what do you have planned for me?"

"For this week, Allen will do a promo and you'll come out to confront him. Just a simple thing. Later on, Gail Kim will do a promo about you and you confront her." Dixie explained.

"This is going to be really fun." Melanie grinned

'In the TNA Ring'

AJ Styles was in the ring doing a promo but all of a sudden his old 'I am 11' remix' theme surrounded the arena. 

"What is going on?" Mike Tenay asked on commentary.

"What is this? Mind games from Bully Ray? Dixie Carter?" Taz asked on commentary. 

All of a sudden, Melanie slowly walked onto the stage as the crowd began to go wild. 

"What the hell!? What the-what is she doing here!? Did you know about this!?" Taz yelled.

"No, no, I did not. Why is Melanie here on TNA?" Mike asked.

A smile came across her lips as she tagged some hands before walking to the ring while AJ stared at her in shock. 

'Melanie! Melanie! Melanie!' chants surrounded the arena as her heart soared. She missed the PG 14 wrestling and the TNA crowd. It was different from the WWE crowds. Both are unique in their own way. She wore light blue skinny jeans, black Converses and an 'AJ Styles P1' Raglan sleeve shirt. The shirt had a wide scoop neck that rocked off her shoulders a little bit and stopped below her belly button. Her hair was also straightened and she wore black eyeliner.

"AJ Styles looks pale as a ghost. It's been years since they last seen each other." Mike looked on.

"Yeah, and it was all AJ's fault. That man blew her off and embarrassed her in front of the world." Taz spat.

"Hello AJ. It's been a while. You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost?" Melanie stared at him dead in the eyes with a mic in her hands. 

The two stared at each other intently. He changed. To his dark attire, to his beard and hair. AJ stepped up to her in the ring as the crowd cheered. The crowd really wanted them to reunite.

"I cannot believe Melanie is back on TNA. This is awesome. This is freaking awesome." Taz exclaimed.

"Do you think she has forgiven AJ?" Mike asked

"I don't know but all I know is, AJ looks speechless."

'To Celeste'

Celeste was in her hotel room and was on Twitter on her phone and saw a fan tweet 'Oh my gosh! I just saw Melanie on TNA!'

"What?" She asked herself and quickly turned on her hotel TV. "What the hell!?" She exclaimed as she watched Melanie in the ring with AJ Styles. 

She quickly called April on the phone. "April! Get over here! Bring all the divas!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down! What is going on!?" April exclaimed. "I just got out of the shower!­"

"Melanie is on TNA!" 

"What!?" April screamed on the other line. 

Not even 5 minutes later, Celeste's door was pounded by all the divas and she quickly ran to open the door as they rushed to the TV.

April, still in a towel, looked at the TV in shock. "Oh my gosh..."

"Why the heck is she on TNA!?" Layla exclaimed.

"Shh! Let's just watch!" Celeste replied.

"Wait, we gotta tell the guys!" Danielle grabbed her phone.

"Wait! Wait! How will they react!?" Trinity exclaimed, trying to calm everyone down.

"Call the guys!" Ariane yelled. 

All the girls were in shock and confusion. Why didn't Melanie tell them that she was going to TNA? What is going on? Did she really quit WWE? Was she really going to stay on TNA? Was this just for a storyline?

Trinity quickly called Jon (Jimmy Uso) "Jon, get the guys and bring them to Celeste's room. Melanie is on TNA!"

30 Seconds later, the guys barge in. "What the hell do you mean she's on TNA?!" Colby exclaimed as he, Joe and Jon stared at the screen.

"She really looks like a different person. What happened?" Eva Marie asks, looking at her hair and makeup.

'To TNA'

"Why so quiet? Is that any way to treat a friend? Your old friend? So what is this?" She touched his jacket. "You being the lone wolf? Forgetting about me after all we've been through?" 

She released her hand from his jacket. She could remember the incident like it was yesterday.

"Well...don't want to talk? I'll let my actions speak," she added and pulled him in for a hug as the crowd cheered. 

AJ stood there motionless, still in shock that she was here. 

After she released him, she spoke, "I know what you are going through right now. You and Dixie. But, whether you like it or not, I'm standing by you. I forgive you for everything and I want us to have that strong bond again. I hope you think about it. Why? Because the Lone Wolf's girl has arrived." She smiled before dropping the mic as AJ's old theme came on.

"You think Melanie and AJ are going to reunite?" Mike asked as she got out of the ring.

"I think so. Maybe Melanie can take AJ's head out his­-" Taz began.

"Okay! Well! Melanie is back on TNA Impact!" Mike exclaimed. "Let's hope we'll see more of 'The Phenomenal Prince and Princess' as a tag duo once again on TNA Impact."

AJ began to smirk, nodding to himself, accepting everything that just happened. 

'To Celeste'

In the room were the Total Divas, April, Celeste, Victoria, The Shield, Fandango, Danielle, The Usos, and Stu watching the TV.

"Damn..." Ariane said.

"Yeah," Trinity replied.

"What's going on Twitter?" Victoria asked as Celeste looked at her phone. 

TNA's ratings skyrocketed because of how a popular WWE diva is on another company's show.

People tweet:

'Melanie looks better than ever! She looks awesome! #TNANeedsMelanie'

'OMG YES! YES! #MelanieIsBackOnTNA'

'Please don't go back to TNA! Please! #WWENeedsMorgan'

'Stay on TNA! DO NOT go back to WWE! No one wants to see that PG crap! PG 14 is where it's at! #TNANeedsMelanie'

'#WWENeedsMelanie Please don't go back to TNA! You are the Shield's girl! Not the Lone Wolf's girl!'

'Melanie made the right choice when she decided to go back to TNA. #WWEIsBuryingMelanie'

'So glad she's back where she belongs. #MelanieBelongsOnTNA'

'Ugh, why is she on TNA? #MelanieBelongsInTheWWE'

'Yay! I hope Melanie and AJ reunite! I would love Melanie as #TheLoneWolfsGirl'

'Yes! #TheLoneWolfsGirl is back! No more Shields girl. Melanie is back where she belongs.'

'I don't care if Melanie is on WWE or TNA but it's nice for her to be #ThePhenomenalPrincess again.'

'Why is WWEMorgan101 on TNAwful!? #MelanieBelongsInTheWWE'

"She is all over Twitter. She's one of the top trends along with TNA Impact." Celeste looked on.

"As expected from her with the way she worked hard to make a name for herself," Joe replied. 

"I just want an explanation. I thought she was having time off." Ariane said as the divas agreed.

"Maybe she knew we would protest?" Jojo asked.

"Damn right! It's TNA! WWE is against TNA!" Colby exclaimed.

"Maybe she's just visiting?" Celeste said

"Nah, she had her wrestling mode on. She isn't there to visit." Jon (Jimmy Uso) added.

"Or it could be a storyline," April pondered.

"Let's just wait till the show is over and we'll call her," Stu recommended.

"Good idea. Maybe we should finish watching TNA just in case she is still on the show." Nattie mentioned.

'To Melanie, offscreen'

After Melanie to the Knockout's locker room, she was attacked with hugs.

"Oh my gosh! I didn't know you were coming back!" Gail Kim grinned.

"Aw, thanks! Long time no see Gail!" Melanie smiled. It was so nice to see her old friends from TNA.

"I'm so happy you're back!" Jamie (Velvet Sky) exclaimed.

Brooke walked in. "Ahh! Melanie!" she yelled as they ran and hugged each other. "I missed you girl!"

"Haha, missed you too! So glad to be back!"

Jessica (ODB) hugged her as well. "Nice to see you back here on TNA Mel."

"Good to be back!" The Philly Diva smiled. 

After she was greeted by the knockouts, she went to walk backstage.

She said some hellos to some people and while she was walking, she heard a voice. 

"We meet again short one."

She grinned and turned around to look up at a tall figure smiling down at her. 

"Hey, Jake! Long time no see!"

"Yeah, it's been a while. How's the weather down there?"

She chuckled. "It's great. We have a lot to catch up on. You got a match, right? Mind If I go watch?"

"Not at all. I was just heading to the stage now."

"All right! Let's do this!"

'In The Ring'

In the ring, Venom by muzeOne surrounded the arena. "This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing the challenger, accompanied by Melanie! The Giant Boa, Jake Roberts!" Christy Hemme announced.

"Melanie is out here again, accompanying her old friend Jake Roberts. Do you see how tall this guy is? Wow." Taz said.

"Jake and Melanie have history together. He helped her out during her feud with Madison Rayne." Mike informed as Jake got in the ring while Chris Sabin was already in the ring, warming up.

'Ding Ding Ding'

Melanie watches on as Chris tries to give Jake some kicks but it does little damage. Jake gains control of him and gives him a suplex, making the ring shake a little bit. "What a suplex! Wow. Did you feel the ground shake?" Taz asks.

Jake grabs Chris into the chokeslam hold but goes to the ropes and performs a chokeslam off the turnbuckle. "And Jake goes to the world's biggest chokeslam." Mike exclaims.

"Yeah!" Melanie cheers. Jake pins him for the win.

"Here is your winner! Jake Roberts!" Christy announces as Melanie gets in the ring to congratulate him.

'To Jon'

Jon was watching TNA in his hotel room as Colby and Joe glanced at each other. Even though Melanie was looking smoking hot on TNA, he really wanted some answers from her. 

"Dude, you all right?" Colby asked.

Jon ignored him and just stared at the TV. He couldn't believe Melanie was on TNA of all places. He had a feeling she would still do wrestling while she was having time off but thought it would be in an independent circuit. 

"Look, we'll talk to her after TNA goes off all right?" Joe said. "I'm sure she'll give us all a good explanation."

"She better." Colby sighed

----

'At TNA, onscreen'

Later on TNA, Gail Kim walked out as the crowd booed her. 

"While I was backstage, watching TNA, I couldn't help but feel disgusted at what I saw. Who the hell does Melanie think she is, going around here, thinking she can take my spotlight? Why is she getting so many chants? She barely did anything in this place! Only a 1 time TNA Knockouts champion. Look at me! I've won it plenty of times and I was the first Knockouts Champion-" she was cut off by AJ's old 2011 theme

Melanie walked out to a loud reception. She was working overtime today and the crowd was eating it up every time she came back on stage. Instead of having her right hand up in the air to do her taunt, she had both her hands up and did her taunt before she twirled around and got in the ring. She grabbed a mic and chuckled at Gail as she stood before her but not too close. 

"Here we go, week after week I have to deal with girls hating on me. You're no different." She snapped as Gail glared at her. "The reason you're hating on me and everyone appreciating me is that your welcome back appreciation party sucked ass and no one gave a shit. I mean, come on, you walk down the ring and ignore the fans. Now, I'll admit, Gail, you've done a lot more than I have during my stay on TNA, but that doesn't mean I don't have anything left in the tank." 

Gail laughed. "So you're here to prove something? That you're better than me? No one is better than me Melanie."

"Oh really? You're not going to be the best forever. Someone is going to take you down."

"Oh really?" she dropped the mic and speared her down to the mat.

"And here we have a brawl!" Mike exclaimed as Gail started unloading on her with punches. 

The crowd booed as Gail continued her attack on her but then Melanie fought back and started taking control.

"And Melanie is fighting back!" Taz looked on

Melanie picked her up and was about to do her finisher but Gail escaped the hold and scrambled out of the ring. 

"This close." The Philly Diva said with her hair disheveled as she pointed at Gail. 

"I'm the best knockout here!" Gail yelled

"Oh sure! Sure! Prove it!"

"I will! That was just a test! A test! I'll show you next week!" 

Melanie got on the turnbuckle and put both her hands up in the air to do her taunt. 

"Well, next week on TNA Impact, we'll have a knockouts tag match. Melanie and Velvet Sky against Gail Kim and Brooke. What a match that is going to be." Mike said.

"Oh man, I cannot wait to see Melanie in action. I know she still has a lot to show after being away from TNA for so long. Good to have Melanie back." Taz said.

"Yes, it is. We'll see if what she says is true next week on Impact Wrestling."

'To Jon'

Jon had to admit, Melanie looked awesome and better than ever. 

"Hey, the good thing is, you see Melanie in the TNA ring and she looks hot for you right?" Colby tried to calm down Jon who looked a little upset. "Guess that didn't work..."

"I'm not really bothered with Melanie going to TNA. It's wrestling and she wants to wrestle. I think she knows what she's doing. I mean, it's not like she's going to stay there." Joe replied.

"What if she does?" Jon spoke up and looked at him. Joe had no answer to that.

"That's why we are upset, Joe." Colby sighed. "She's like the glue of The Shield. No one can ever take her place. She can't stay on TNA. She just can't."

Joe nodded. What would The Shield do without Melanie?

'After The Show'

Melanie, back at home, Skyped with Chyna. 

"Hey, Mel. I saw you on TNA. Shocker. Guess you couldn't stay from the ring huh?" Chyna smiles.

"Yeah, WWE permitted me to attend for a little bit until it was time for me to go back to WWE for my storyline! They kept it under wraps for a surprise. I know everybody is probably losing their minds right now. Also, my mom is going to be a part of the storyline in WWE soon."

"No way! Jane? I'll be tuning in for that. Hey, you'll be on TNA next week, right? I'll be there to see you in action next Thursday."

"Really? That'll be awesome!"

"Uh huh. Can't wait to see you in action, live. So how's Jon treating you?"

"He is treating me great."

"Good and it better stay that way. I don't want to kick his ass."

"I don't think that'll be necessary." Melanie laughed.

"I was cracking up with you called Stephanie a bitch. That made my night."

"Haha. Glad to hear." 

"So have you talked to your WWE friends yet about the storyline?"

Melanie chuckled nervously and looked at her phone at the numerous texts and missed calls.

"Hoo boy...I guess I should start explaining huh?"

Chyna laughed, "Have fun."

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 43- Our First Win

Chapter Summary: Jen joins V, Rap Monster and Jessi in an episode of Hello Counselor. BTS promote their new album and get their first set of wins

Words: 8,000+

--------

“We listen to your concerns. National counseling session!” The MC announced as everyone applauded. 

Jennie sat in between Namjoon and Taehyung as the MCs announced them as special guests along with Kim Kayeon, Lim Yohwan and Jessi. The show Jen attended today was called Hello Counselor and she was excited to see what would happen on the show.

After the MCs asked for Jessi and Rapmon to rap, they turned to Tae. “Good looking V, what can you do? You can imitate an elephant?”

“I have an elephant on my body.” He answered as the crowd laughed. He lifted his sleeve to reveal his arm. “I have two spots on my arm. If I do this, it’s an elephant.” He pinched his arm, showing it off. 

“Lovely, Jennie!” The MC called out.

“Yes?” She smiled.

“What can you do?”

“I play the guitar.”

“Wow, what type?”

“Mainly acoustic. It’s my strong suit and it’s my favorite instrument. I feel as though I can really express myself when I have my hands on a guitar. Whatever emotion I feel, I strum and you can hear it.”

“What mood are you in now?”

“Happy.” She beamed as the studio applauded. She was handed an acoustic guitar and made sure it was tuned. “I guess I’ll do the acoustic version of I Need U.”

Once she started to strum the chorus of the song, the studio went silent. After she was finished, the studio erupted in cheers, some were shocked at how precise her guitar skills were.

“BTS released a new song, too. Can you sing a little of it for us?” The MCs requested

“We’ll dance.” Rapmon stood up with Jen and Tae to perform the chorus dance of I Need U. Once they were done, they were applauded

For the show’s concerns, it was listed as, Dad, let’s be happy, My unpretty daughter and My husband’s change of heart.

The MCs go with my unpretty daughter first and it’s from a mom. She has no idea what to do with her daughter and she’s embarrassed because of her. She doesn’t know what to say when people ask about her daughter, asking if she has a job. The mother claimed her daughter is 38 years old, does rap and is flippant. The mom showed her concern that her daughter doesn’t seem to understand how she feels about the situation.

The MC continued to read that the daughter had been rapping for 2 years and her TV audition was cut out from a show and failed the preliminary. Jennie cringed when she heard about that. Must’ve been really bad for them to cut out an audition.

Once the mother, Jeong Chaeok, walked out and slid down the slide, she sat in the middle of the guests and MCs.

“It’s a concern that your daughter wants to be a rapper?” The MCs asked.

“Yes. A woman should meet a nice man, get married, have a baby and be loyal to our country.” The mom declared.

‘But not everyone wants to date. Not everyone wants kids or wants to get married. What’s wrong with that?’ Jennie thought in her head. 

She had to keep in mind she was from America. Different countries have different standards and traditions. She had a different mentality about dating and marriage than the mother.

But what’s wrong with being independent?

Personally, Jennie wanted kids when she was married. She thought about it, no one in her family told her that she should, she thought of it on her own. She didn’t think it was a big deal if other women didn’t want to do that.

“It’s a good thing you came. That’s Jessi. She’s the queen of rapping.” The MC pointed out.

“Hello.” Jessi bowed.

“I don’t know her.” The mom bluntly replied, causing the crowd to laugh. 

Jennie cringed at her bluntness.

“Those young people over there. That’s Rap Monster, Jennie and V. They’re good at rapping.”

“The boys are very good looking.” The mother said, causing Jennie and Jessi to have a rain cloud over their heads, feeling shaded. 

‘A clearly different response’

“All righty, then,” Jennie murmured.

The mother goes on about how her daughter isn’t ladylike and wears a cap crookedly and wears torn clothes. Jessi immediately hid her legs that exposed her knees. 

“I don’t like that.” The mom looked at Jessi’s jeans.

Jennie held onto Tae, laughing with him and the rest of the studio when the mother performed the hidden dance talent that she found when she was 49. 

“I’m deceased!” She giggled.

When they met the daughter, everyone applauded her. The daughter revealed that her nickname is ZiZi and wished to release an album in her name. 

“I want to show people women can rap, too.” The daughter said.

“Jessi is rapping a lot.” The MC pointed out.

“She just became famous.” The daughter replied, earning laughs from the crowd. 

Jennie dropped her jaw at her sudden statement while Jessi stared at her. It looked like Jessi wanted to write a diss track on the poor girl.

Later, the daughter revealed that she’s crazy about Zico from Block B, fell for him and wants to meet him in person, so she thought that rapping lessons would help. She received compliments from her teachers and since she likes Zico, her dream is to become a rapper. She wants to perform on the stage Zico stands on. She sounded so determined, wanting to successfully be a rapper.

“How much are you rapping?” Rapmon spoke up

“I’m reading collections of famous sayings. Rappers write their own lyrics. I listen to songs for about 6-7 hours. I’m on the internet a lot to see what’s going on in the world. I want to write lyrics people can sympathize with a lot. I don’t want to swear or speak English just because I rap.”

“Your mother wants you to get married. Don’t you want to date?” The MCs asked.

“No.” The daughter answered. “Men are a luxury for me, right now. I made a huge bet with my life. I’ll fail or succeed. Men are a luxury for me. I’m firm about it.” 

Jennie felt kind of bad for the daughter as the mom put her on the blast throughout the show. She stayed quiet watching everyone else talk. Then the daughter came up to the stage to show off her rapping.

“The title is Strong Eonni.” The daughter revealed and then started to rap. “People say I act strong, sorry but I’m really strong. I don’t act innocent. I’m just honest. My image? Don’t judge me like that. I have a lot of affection and tears. I don’t express my feelings, so people misunderstand. Even women think I’m charismatic. I’m a woman after all. People think I’m strong and can’t talk to me. Fall for my charm and there’s no exit. I’m cute just to you. I listen well and I’m exemplary. I can cook anything just like that. All I know is you. I’m a fool.”

“You should audition for Unpretty Rapstar,” Jessi suggested.

“I’ve thought about it.” The daughter added.

“I think you’ll fail. She lacks in delivery and flow.” Jessi demonstrated a rap for her.

Later on in the show, it was revealed that the daughter didn’t attend family gatherings and didn’t attend her uncle’s funeral. The mother explained that she envies her friends who have weddings and she wants a son in law, all set for her daughter to marry. She even had her daughter go on blind dates but the daughter turned the guys down.

The MCs decided to ask if the female guests had any love interests and then turned to Jennie. “Miss Bangtan, have you had a boyfriend?”

“Not yet.” She shook her head.

“No boyfriend?” The MCs go on again, surprised.

“No boyfriend.” She confirmed.

“How?” they asked as the studio laughed.

Jennie was kind of surprised by their response. She guessed they thought she would be dating right now for some apparent reason. 

“A chick is busy. Boys can wait. I’m still young.” she replied.

"And he'll have to go through us," Rapmon spoke, causing the studio to laugh. It was clear that BTS was going to be protective of who came around Jennie.

“And my daughter is getting old.” The mom spoke up.

“Well I mean, love comes in all different ages. I believe she’s still young although she’s going on 40.” Jennie added.

“Jennie, what are your thoughts on this situation?” The MCs asked.

“I have a different mentality with marriage and kids. I’m not from here, so I have some cultural differences from you. I don’t see as much pressure to marry and have kids where I’m from. And I see that as long as you work hard, you can achieve your dreams. But I feel as though if you don’t want to get married, don’t get married. If you don’t want kids, then you don’t want kids.” She spoke up as everyone looked at her. “I understand the mom wants her to do these things, but at the end of the day, it’s her life. That’s my opinion. I don’t think she should be forced to do something she doesn’t want to do. And I mean, I’ve seen elderly people get married. I don’t see what the problem is with age. She’s still young, going on 40. That’s still young.”

Jennie turned her attention to the daughter. “Although you’re older than me, I think you should have a backup plan just in case something doesn’t go as planned with the rapping. I’m not going to be a K-Pop idol forever, and I do want to go to college and major in whatever I think will be right for me in the future. So, I would just keep that in mind as you continue to learn how to rap. I highly advise you to have a backup plan and make sure you are financially stable. And I do think you should still be with your family. I’m miles away from my family. It’s always a struggle for me to be away from my family while I’m here in Korea. I try to contact them as much as I can and see how they’re doing. I miss birthdays, I miss weddings, births, graduations, and a lot of things. But you, you’re here, in the same country as your family. Never forget your routes. Check up on them at times. Even if they might drive you crazy, because my family certainly does that, still contact them. They love you.”

It was frustrating to her that parents want their children to do this and that. But again, she needed to keep in mind that she held different traditions from others around her in this country. At the end of the segment, the daughter was requested to continue rapping for one year and if she’s not successful, quit.

Everyone began to vote if it was a concern or not. 

“She wants to be a professional rapper,” Jessi spoke. “It’s a long way ahead. In my opinion...it’s better to do it as a hobby. Many people do it as a hobby.”

“It’s a concern,” Rapmon added. “I don’t want to stop her but I don’t think it would be right to tell her to keep going.”

“I won’t discourage you,” Jen spoke up. “You should do what you want. If you see that you’re not getting anywhere with the rapping, still keep the rapping as a hobby and go with your backup plan.”

“It’s a concern. Honestly, it’s better to get married. It’s the mother’s wish.” Taehyung stated. 

Jen frowned a bit at his statement but kept her thoughts to herself.

In the end, the audience thought this was a concern and the daughter told her mom that she would start dating but won’t give up the rapping. 159 votes were counted, and the mom got 1st place, shocking the crowd as they applauded her. It seems like the mom will be on the show next week.

The next concern was, ‘Dad, let’s be happy’. It was about a 21-year-old college student talking about his dad working for 17 hours every day. Basically, all he does is sleep and work and the son wants his dad to rest. The dad doesn’t even go out with friends and always talks about how he needs to work. The son’s mom died from cancer six years ago and his dad became more addicted to work after that. The father doesn’t even go to the hospital despite having toothaches and knee pains.

They met the son, Kang Jaejun, and Jen remained quiet as he talked about his concerns about his father. His father knows English and still teaches at elementary, middle and high schools. He expressed that he thinks his father works more because he feels a heavier responsibility.

When the son pointed him out, the MCs requested Jessi and Jennie to say hello to him.

“Hello, Mister Kang!” Jessi greeted. “Where are you?”

“Hello, how are you doing, Mister Kang?” Jennie spoke with a smile after spotting him.

When he waved at them, he responded in English, “Fine, thank you.”

The BTS members stayed quiet throughout the segment until Jennie was asked about her thoughts on the situation.

“This right here is a serious issue. I know how it feels to overwork yourself. I collapsed from exhaustion during dance practice a while ago and it’s no joke. It’s scary. And with you being an older man, it may be even worse for you and hurt your body even more. The body cannot run 24/7, it’s impossible. The body needs to rest and you need to take care of yourself.” She responded as the MCs agreed with her statement.

At the end of the segment, the son suggests his dad meet new friends so he can go to the Army without any worries. Jennie thought the situation wasn’t that big of a concern because as long as they communicate with each other, they should be just fine. For the results, they got 75 and were eliminated.

The last concern was about a housewife of 10 years with two sons with a husband who won’t leave her alone day or night. He seems to have changed his mind a lot and had ten different jobs in 12 years. He even quit after one day of working.

‘Yikes.’ Jennie thought as she cringed.

He started a business and loved it when business was good but claimed he wanted to quit if the business was bad. The wife claims her husband is too fickle and that’s her concern. When the wife comes out, she expresses that her husband quits too easily.

‘Jeesh.’ Jen thought, glancing at Rapmon with the same wide eyed expression. 

They listened to the wife rant about everything her husband wanted and changed his mind. It was a headache.

“Then, he said he needed a bike to go to work. He started again. He rode the bike for a month. He kept it at work. He changed it at least five times.” The wife explained.

“The bike?” The MCs asked.

“Yes, the bike. He doesn’t just buy the bike. He buys all the equipment. He doesn’t think about that when he sells it. He always justifies it by saying he received more money.”

“Did you see if he got more?”

“There’s no way he would get more. He spends a lot of money. I don’t want to fight, so I just let it go. Then he sold all the bikes. He started a restaurant, so he said he needed a motorcycle.”

“Why?”

“He had to buy ingredients at the store. He started it less than a year ago. The one he has now is the third one.”

Jennie and Rap Monster exhale, in disbelief at what she just told everyone. The MCs had their jaws dropped as the studio went silent.

‘That’s excessive’

When they met the husband, the wife expressed that he had different excuses when he quit his jobs. As the BTS members remained silent, watching everyone else talk, the husband mentioned that he brought his wife a luxury bag as an apology for the losses but the wife said that she was told to sell it if she didn’t carry the bag every day.

“Oh, my gosh.” Jessi laughed while Jennie let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head.

“I brought her one after selling the tank. The second one was from selling the bikes. She didn’t carry the first one at all. I thought we should sell it and...” The husband trailed off as everyone watched him.

‘Sell it and what?’

“Sell it and get a new bike for me.” The husband stated.

Jennie threw her arms up in the air, earning laughs from the crowd while Jessi was about to throw a pillow at him.

“Yo....” Jennie felt as frustrated as Jessi at how crazy the guy was.

“I want to throw this.” Jessi laughed and turned to Jennie. “You wanna hit him, too?”

“Oh yeah.”

“Jessi, Jennie, this can’t be in the US?” The Mcs asked as they both shook their heads.

Near the end of the show, everyone expressed their opinion on whether it was a concern or not.

“It’s a concern,” V answered.

“It’s a concern. I can understand how the husband feels, too. It’s too frequent and excessive though.” Rap Monster added. “I think he needs time to endure and heal on his own.”

“It’s a concern,” Jennie answered, pressing the button.

“I’ll make it short. It’s a concern.” Jessi pressed the button. 

At the end of the voting, the wife received 132 votes, making My Unpretty Daughter the new winner of the show, receiving a prize of $1,000.

“Until the day Korea has no more concerns, Hello Counselor is here to help. Thank you!” The MCs closed the show

------

On April 15th, G-Friend attended Weekly Idol. The girls were seated, going over each member’s profile. 

“Next is Hayoon. She is the Shy Girlfriend. She loves to bake, rollerskate, and enjoys acrobats as a hobby. She is well known for her dimples in G-Friend.” Coni read as she showed off a big smile, revealing her deep dimples.

“Are you close to any idols?” Doni asked as Hayoon nodded eagerly. The members giggled at her as he gestured for her to answer.

“The idol I’m closest to is Jennie. I love her, she’s my best friend.” She shyly revealed with a smile.

“Miss Bangtan? BTS’ Jennie?” Coni asked as she nodded.

“She is incredibly sweet.” Hayoon continued. “She has helped me a lot, giving me strong words of encouragement before I debuted in G-Friend. She has given me a boost of confidence in myself. She is so patient with me, too.”

The crowd aws at her words. “Well, it’s funny that you mentioned her because she is actually here, right now. Let’s welcome her!”

Jennie walked out, waving as she saw Hayoon immediately rush up to her, to hug her. She let out a laugh and hugged her tightly before sitting with Doni and Coni. 

“Jennie, it seems like you are very loved, by Hayoon.” Coni laughed as she nodded.

“How’d you two become so close?” Doni asked.

“Well, we go to the same school. SOPA. Met her during the first day. She’s shy so I just kept talking to her until she started to talk.” Jen explained. “It worked out pretty well because now she can’t stop talking to me. She can’t shut up.” She teased as everyone laughed.

As fans watched the show, they would tweet:

‘Jen looks so happy! I love seeing her smile.’

‘JenHoon! I ship it!’

‘They are so cute!’

After the show, Hayoon and Jen go to Big Hit’s dance studio together.

“I cannot believe you’re making me do this,” Jennie murmured after stretching. 

Today Hayoon was going to show her one of G-Friend’s dances. The Bangtan girl was skeptical because cute dances weren’t her thing. She felt awkward about it, but Hayoon was eager to teach her.

“This was long overdue. Now watch me.” Hayoon waited for her to press play as Glass Bead came on. 

Jennie watched silently as she performed the entire dance, dancing in sync with the music. After she was done, she turned to Jennie with a bright smile.

Staring at her with a poker face, Miss Bangtan shook her head. “No.”

“Yes.”

“Nope.”

“Yep.”

“There is no way.”

“There is a way.”

“Why?”

“Why not?”

“This is not me.”

“This will be you, today.”

“This is too cute!”

“You’re too cute! Hehehe. Let’s go step by step.” She gestured for her to stand next to her. As she taught Jen the dance, she giggled at her facial expressions whenever she thought the dance move was too foreign for her.

“I gotta shake my butt, too?”

“Your hips. Do it cutely. Not sexy.” Hayoon demonstrated.

“I’m not really a cute type of person, Yoonie!"

“Tell that to Jungkook!”

“What?” Jennie turned to the door and saw him watching. “Oh my God. How long have you been there!?" She kneeled and covered her face, while Hayoon laughed. 

“Long enough.” Jungkook smiled, thinking about how cute her reaction was. “I’m meeting with Jimin to practice. I couldn’t help but hear G-Friend’s music. I had to see what was going on. I’ll leave you two, to it.” He giggled and left.

Jen felt like she was going to drown from embarrassment. He really just watched her struggle with this cute, well-choreographed dance.

As she continued to dance, Hayoon giggled again. “Smile Jennie! You’re too serious, this isn’t a badass concept! Okay, don’t force the smile, now you look scary!”

“Yoon, this is my resting bitch face.”

“Smile!”

She forced a smile while she danced.

“Okay, now you’re just faking it.” She playfully scolded.

Jen tripped on her feet and fell. Sighing loudly, and yelled, “I SUCK!”

“You’ll get it, don’t worry. You got the dance down, you just need to stop overthinking it because it’s not what you’re used to doing.”

Later at night, Jennie decided to FaceTime her sister, Alani, to discuss BTS’ upcoming comeback.

“How are you feeling?” Alani asked with a smile.

“Nervous. It’s a highly anticipated comeback.”

“It’s normal to feel nervous. But don’t worry, you guys are going to go out there and have a blast on stage. I have a great feeling about this comeback.”

“You do? We really want our first win. I hope we’re able to get it. We got third place last time when we were nominated during the Danger era. We’ve been trying to work hard to achieve this goal.”

“Do you think you guys can do it?”

“Yes.”

“Keep that mindset. Good things happen to those who wait, y’know. Keep working hard. It’ll pay off one day. Just don’t be discouraged and don’t give up. We’ll be watching.”

-------

On April 29th, the members were on Star Attack. The members sat next to each other as they answered a variety of questions. Jennie sat in between Suga and Jin.

‘What are you guys doing lately?’

“I think we can say that we’re in full swing with preparing for the comeback,” Rapmon answered as they mentioned their concerts abroad and how international fans are a driving force in their growth abroad.

“We will give you 1 question and 1 answer.” The production crew gave the members questions to answer.

‘To Jin, what is handsomeness?’

“Isn’t this an extremely important question?” Jimin asked.

“I was handsome from when I was born. My life is smeared with my handsomeness.” Jin confidently answered.

“Pff!” Rapmon couldn’t hold back his laugh.

“I love his confidence.” Jennie praised. “He’s such a King.”

‘To Jungkook, what is fragrance?’

“My skin and flesh, bone...” Jungkook went on.

“Why is fragrance a part of your body?” Jin asked.

“To me, it’s that important.”

“Speaking of fragrances, has anyone seen my perfume?” Jennie brought up. “I had a small bottle of grapefruit perfume. I cannot find it for the life of me. I just brought the thing.”

“Yeah, where is it Jungkookie?” Jimin put him on blast.

“PFF!” Rapmon laughed again, covering his face while the Golden Maknae looked down, embarrassed.

Jennie raised a brow. “You took it?”

“I-it smelled nice!”

“You could’ve just asked!”

“Would you have said yes?”

“No!”

“Then why should I ask!?”

“Because it’s mine!”

The members laughed at their bickering and they got back to the program.

‘To Jennie, what are smarties?’

“Well, I’ll have you know that smarties are a blessing from my Lord and Savior. This God given treat is the best and I can’t get enough. I would love to own the company so I can have free smarties for life.” She smiled innocently while the members laughed at her answer. “I’m dead serious, I’m not joking.”

“W-wait, she’s not joking?” The members were scared at her serious expression.

‘To J-Hope, what are tears?’

“Yah~ why does it have to be this type of question? It’s another one of J Hope’s charms, is it not? People can’t always be full of brightness only. Reverse charms. It feels like girls find men with tears...”

‘To Jimin, what are abs?’

“It’s homework. It’s like if I do this, I’ll receive praise but if I don’t do it then...I’ll have it for only 10 years more.”

‘To Rap Monster, the end of forgetfulness is?’

“Recently I lost my bag. A while back, after I lost my wallet, I received another one from Suga hyung. But I put that wallet in my bag and I lost that bag as well.” The leader answered.

“Mm-mm-mm.” Jennie shook her head.

‘To V, what is the world of outer space?’

“Seems like the questions can go from state of mind to outer space.” He answered. “I think there are rabbits on the moon.”

‘To Suga, what is Daegu?’

“It’s also my hometown, I’m from Daegu, why didn’t I get asked about it?” V protested.

“What’s Daegu to the two of us?” Suga asked him and they answered at once. “Hometown!”

“Intestines~!” V answered.

“What even...” Suga laughed with the members.

Standing up, the members were told to close their eyes and recall which member held grudges the most. Once they open their eyes, they would point their finger to the member and the member with the most points would have to do push ups for 30 seconds. Jennie ended up pointing at Suga, but in the end, Jungkook did the push ups.

As the members watched the Golden Maknae do his push ups, J-Hope requested to get a shot of Jungkook’s thighs, praising how strong and thick they were.

Next, the members were requested to play the one legged fight game and whoever won could reveal the other members’ secrets.

“We take this game very seriously,” Jimin warned.

“Indeed. You sure you want us to play this?” Jennie added.

“I can promise that I won’t take it seriously,” Suga spoke.

The members lift up one leg, preparing for the game. 

“Aigoo, my legs...” Suga suddenly dropped to the floor, causing Jennie to laugh loudly with everyone.

“How!?” She asked as Suga shamefully walked away.

The rest of the members hopped around, while Jen stayed away. 

“V, no!” She tried to hop back as he aggressively hopped forward, gaining up on her. 

He giggled as he followed her around the room. He bumped into her, causing her to fall to the floor, eliminated from the game.

“I love you!” He tried to sugarcoat what he’d done as she got up.

“LIES!”

In the end, Jungkook won the game. The members sit back down in their seats to check out the fan comments.

“The member that has the most cosmetics. Who cares the most about it.” Rapmon read a question.

The members point to Jennie, immediately. 

“What? No.” She shook her head. “No, no way. Not me.”

“She’s in denial.” Jin giggled.

“I don’t have that many! I don’t wear that much makeup!”

“Nail polish. Lip gloss. The list can go on.” J-Hope laughed.

Jennie read the question, “If you were a boy, which member would you date if they were girls? Hm...” She looked at the members. “J-Hope.”

J-Hope placed his hands over his heart, touched by her answer. “Really munchkin? Me?”

“Mm hm. I love his personality, he’s always bursting with positive energy.”

‘Please show us the tough girls through Bangtan Boys’ concept.’ Was J-Hope’s request.

“I think I know what he’ll do so I’m going to cover my ears,” Suga said.

“Ah, 5,6,7,8!” J-Hope sang in a high pitched voice, “Why are you shaking up my heart?”

“AHAHAHAHAHAH!” Suga got up from his seat and laughed in J-Hope’s face.

“KYAHAHAHAHA!” Hobi returned his laugh, standing up from his seat.

“I’m done.” Jennie laughed against Jin’s arm as she held onto it for support from laughing so much.

------

On April 30th, the BTS members were announced by the MCs for the fan meeting on Mnet Countdown. As they walked out, the members tagged a few lucky hands of some ARMY as they stood with the MCs.

“BTS, based on the mood, it seems like you’ve gotten more mature.”

“Yes, before we were in our teens and produced albums focused on the theme of school, this album is produced with the theme of mature youth,” Rapmon explained. “So, that’s why the mood is a bit different and it’s also natural.”

“Mood being different is a very good thing. We think of strong performances once we think of BTS. Did you tone that down a bit?”

“No, it’s absolutely not toned down. It’s actually even more powerful. We were afraid everyone would think that so we especially prepared this.” J-Hope gestured as he walked over to the side with Jimin to prepare a snippet of various BTS dances before showing off I Need U. 

Jennie ended up snickering when she saw how extra Hobi and Jimin were as they moved their hips. They were great.

For their comeback stage, the members lay down on the floor. Jennie was in between Jimin and Rapmon. They wore shorts and white shirts and Jennie wore black suspenders with Yoongi.

After the intense dance break, Jennie broke away from the group, shaking her head before looking up at the ceiling. She slowly walked around, placing the microphone to her mouth, beginning her verse, “You probably won’t care what I have to say, but I’m still waitin’ for you on my birthday. How many times are you gonna lie, once was enough. Can’t you see how much I’ve become undone?” She ran a hand through her straightened hair.

“Lookin’ at us now, I’m wonderin’ why things went so downhill...No Advil can take this type of pain away, don’t tell me to chill. I ask myself why do I stay when you always play me for a fool. This situation sucks because I thought everything was cool.” She went on while the members danced around her. Shooting the camera an expression of heartbreak, she continued, “How could you be so cruel? You used to treat me like I was your jewel. Now I’m nothin’ to you but a simple tool.”

Walking past Jin, she pressed her back against his as they both turned in a circle and walked away from each other. “I wish we could break through this. All we’ve done was fall through the mess that you created. Is this how things will always be? I’m so frustrated, Aggravated, Devastated...” Her expression turned into a dejected one. “What do you gain? To cause me so much pain? It’s putting a strain on my broken heart. But I can’t let go. Because you’re my everything...”

You’re my

“Everything.”

On May 5th, on SBS MTV’s The Show, BTS sat down for a quick interview about their comeback. “It’s a song infused with the feelings of young love,” Rapmon said.

“It’s showing both the brighter and darker sides of youth,” Suga added. 

The members check out the I Need U film, gushing over Jungkook’s real tears on in the MV.

‘Stop. Point 1. Tears.’

“I have a lot of feels,” Jungkook revealed.

‘Full of emotions, teenager Jungkook.’

“Then shall we see who can get their tears out faster, right now?” V suggests.

‘Match of the century!’

‘Challenger V vs Tear Prince Jungkook’

Jennie tried not to laugh as she watched V gaze ahead and Jungkook fanning his eyes, trying to cry. After a while, the Golden Maknae won yet another challenge, shedding his tears first. As they continued to watch the MV, it paused when it showed the show of flowers on fire.

‘Stop. Point 2. Fire.’

‘What would BTS like to burn to ashes?’

“Weight! Weight!” Jimin answered.

“All of our black history on the internet.”

“STRESSSSS!” Jimin shouted.

‘And so! The Show has prepared, the thing that the members want to burn to ashes. BTS’ black history!’

The screen showed Suga’s audition from Big Hit, which caused everyone to yell and laugh. Suga got up from his seat, freaking out. It showed him when he was 18 years old. 

“DESTROY ALL OF THIS!” He ran up to the screen.

“NO!” Jennie fell out of her seat before scrambling up to the screen, attempting to block everyone’s view of her photo. It was her when she was a trainee at the age of 15. “My hair! What was I thinking with that hairstyle!? DELETE! DELETE!” She cringed at her wild hair.

“Aw, she looks so cute.” Jin cooed.

‘Do not let your guard down! Who is this boy?’

Jimin lowered his head once he saw two photos of him when he was younger, wearing glasses, at 17 years old.

“He still looks the same as he did when he still had glasses,” Jin spoke up.

“This hyung...!” Jimin exclaimed.

“Tell them about Jin-hyung’s!” J-Hope suggested.

“Jin-hyung wore glasses too!” Rapmon revealed.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!” Jin yelled when they showed his photo when he wore glasses.

“So everyone, please treat your friends around you, well. Because they might turn out this cool, tool!” Rapmon informed.

‘Stop. Point 3. I Need U.’

‘Tell the person beside you something you want them to do with the song I Need U.’

“It’ll be great if you can do a better job with the toilet ventilation,” J-Hope said to Jimin.

“I Need U...the money I lent you~” Suga sang to Jungkook. “I don’t actually say that but...”

“Suga-hyung to me!” V asked, expectantly. “Come at me with all your heart!”

“To be honest...I don’t really have anything to ask of you.” He replied.

“You should just return him money, too,” Rapmon suggested. “We’ll continue to show you more cool I Need U stages from now on.”

“Please show BTS lots of love!” V beamed.

“The Show! Play!” The members cheered.

At the end of the show, the groups stood on stage while the MCs began to calculate the votes to see who would win first place. As they announced the numbers, Jen felt her heart begin to race as she saw how big the numbers were getting from the other artists they were up against.

“Bangtan Sonyeondan!”

Jennie immediately widened her eyes, covering her mouth as the confetti popped out and Namjoon received the trophy.

They had won.

They won their first win.

The members have been dreaming of this day. Every time they were asked, it would be the same answer. ‘We want to get first place on a music show.’ No matter how many times they’ve been asked. It was their wish to gift ARMY a first win, and now they finally achieved their goal.

“Is this for real!?” She asked, holding onto Jimin who had a big smile on his face while Namjoon said his acceptance speech. 

All the members bowed to everyone while I Need U came on, for an encore. With just BTS on the stage, Jennie kneeled on the floor, trying to comprehend what was happening.

‘Damn, this is really happening.’ She thought as Jimin kneeled next to her, rubbing her back. A smile with tears in her eyes was shown as she stood up, grabbed her microphone, and yelled "Thank you!" with the rest of the members.

As soon as they go backstage, they’re met with their staff congratulating them. Sitting down, Jen dialed up her mom’s number, while a Bangtan Bomb camera was filming her. She was immediately greeted with screams, yells and cheers. She figured she was on speakerphone, so she put her phone on speaker too. 

Namjoon chuckled at her family’s enthusiasm. He was happy that she was able to hear them tell her how proud they were of her. 

Jen, still teary eyed, listened to her mom yell, “We just saw the live stream! You guys did it! We’re so proud of you!”

“That’s my niece! That’s my niece with those boys!”

“They killed it on that stage!”

“This award was meant for them!”

She heard various family members shout. “Your father is crying.” Her mom told her.

“I am not!” She heard her dad say as she laughed. “Nie, Nie. Can you hear me?”

“Yes.” She sniffed.

“You have no idea how proud your mother and I are to have a daughter like you. I already knew you were special ever since you held a microphone back in America. And now you’re in Korea, breaking boundaries, and working hard with seven fine young men. I knew you guys could do it. All that time you were talking about how tired you were, and how hard it was to make new songs, look at what the eight of you accomplished. Hard work has paid off. Those sleepless nights were worth it. And I cannot tell you, how proud we are of BTS. You guys deserve it. I may be too old to be called an ARMY but just know that your mother and I, along with the rest of the family will be your big support group.”

Closing her eyes, more tears streamed down her face. After talking to her family, she received a video from her sisters and decided to play it. It showed Vienna and Alani, watching a livestream of the show. Vienna had her hand over her mouth in suspense, while Alani had her fingers crossed, wondering what was going to happen. It was late at night, and it made Jennie so happy that they stayed up on a school night just to watch BTS, in support of her.

As soon as BTS was announced as the winner, the two sisters screamed, jumped on the bed and held on to each other.

“YES! YES! YES! THAT’S OUR SISTER! THAT IS OUR SISTER! I KNEW THEY WOULD WIN!” Alani clapped her hands together loudly, getting off the bed, and jumping around.

“I dunno what the hell they’re saying, but all that matters is that BTS won! WOO!” Vienna shouted at the camera that was filming her.

Jennie laughed and felt more tears form as she sniffed. Her family wasn’t with her physically but they were always watching her, sending encouraging messages.

Snapping a selfie with the trophy, Jen tweets, ‘Dreams do come true. We’ve come so far, ARMY! This is so surreal! Thank you, we love you!’

-----

On May 7th, backstage, BTS was given an MPD mission called Beware of the Dog. In a room together, surrounding a table with the dog game, the members begin to take turns cautiously grabbing a bone out of the dog’s dish.

The sound of the toy dog’s sleeping, made Jen nervous as she slowly reached out to pick up a bone.

“RAWR!” Namjoon shouted, causing her to flinch and move her hand away.

“Hey!” She smacked him on the arm while the others laughed around her.

“That was a good one, she was so scared!” Hobi giggled. 

When she finally took a bone without the dog moving, she sighed out of relief. Suga was the first one to get out as the rest of the members aimed to grab another bone.

“Please let me survive this...” She murmured and reluctantly went to grab another bone. Peeping at the dog as she grabbed one, she slowly backed up, relieved that she survived another round. 

Jin was the next one to get out, as the rest of the members tried yet again to take a bone. When it was Jennie’s turn, she decided to act slower this time, as she reached out for the bowl of bones. As soon as she touched the bowl, she shrieked when the dog suddenly leaned forward, aiming to bite her.

“Man!” She sat down next to Jin, watching the others finish the game. In the end, it wasn’t a surprise that the Golden Maknae won.

Later, the members stood on stage, kneeling as Boys with fun came on. Jennie wore a white blazer while the rest of the members wore various colors.

Big Bang had also had their comeback stage with Loser and Bae Bae. Jennie wanted to see if she could find G-Dragon but they both were so busy, they couldn’t see each other throughout the show. She was a bit disappointed. She wanted to express how excited she was for their comeback and decided to message him about it and ask for advice on her latest performance.

Not expecting him to reply so soon, he had told her to meet her after the show because he had some time.

At the end of the show, BTS was up against EXID for first place as the MCs revealed the final results.

“Today’s final results. First off with digital music sales score.”

EXID received 5000 while BTS received 2267

“Album sales score.”

EXID had 22 while BTS had 1000. Jennie had her hands in a prayer, by her face as she watched the results with butterflies in her stomach.

Would they be able to get a second win?

“Popularity score.”

EXID received 952 while BTS received 609.

“Social media score.”

EXID had 572 while BTS had 1000.

“Mnet broadcast score.”

BTS received 1000 while EXID only had 100.

“And lastly with the live broadcast real time voting score. Today’s honored 1st place is...”

It was a close battle but in the end, BTS won with a score of 6876.

“Yeah!” She celebrated with the members. 

Each of them had big smiles on their faces while Namjoon made another acceptance speech, thanking Big Hit, ARMY and their families. Jennie felt Jin’s large hand on her shoulder and she turned to him placing red lipstick over her mouth, unevenly.

She laughed and he went to Tae to place lipstick on his lips, next.

“Thank you, ARMY! We’re truly grateful for this! I love you, mom! I love you, dad! Shoutout to my sisters! Don’t follow them on Instagram! Thank you, ARMY! We love you! Woo hoo!” She yelled in English, on the mic, jumping up and down with Hobi. 

She already knew her sisters would yell at her for putting them on blast like that but she thought it was funny.

Going backstage, BTS is filmed for a Bangtan Bomb. “First place, baby! Ah!” She clapped her hands, approaching the camera. “Muah! Muah! Muah!” She blew kisses.

They were greeted by MPD who congratulated them and presented them a cake with strawberries on top. Taehyung held onto it and kept eating all the strawberries.

Jungkook and Jennie glanced at each other, equally irritated that he kept eating all of the strawberries while the members expressed their gratitude for getting another win.

“Really?” Jen watched Tae pop the last one in his mouth. He looked at her innocently as she shook her head.

As the members regrouped together, Jennie decided to share her thoughts on another win as she finally got a turn to hold the trophy. She examined it in amazement, shaking her head in disbelief.

“This right here, success won’t come instantly. You work hard, remain humble and be patient. We’ve gone through a lot, and it was worth it because our hard work is paying off. Thank you for always supporting us. We will cherish this moment forever. Thank you to the fans. Shoutout to my mama and dad for creating me and letting me do this. Shout out to my sisters, I know y’all screaming happily over this win. Good luck on your exams, by the way! I love you! Gosh, I’m still shaking, you see this? There’s so many people I want to thank but I’ll just say thank you to everyone helping us and guiding us.” She felt her adrenaline pumping as she showed one of her shaky hands on camera.

When the members were in the elevator, they continued to be filmed. “I’m too happy that my tears won’t come out,” Jungkook explained.

“I cried so much during our first win on the 5th, I’m not sure if I’ll be crying again. We’ll see.” Jen added.

“I have nothing to say.” Jimin sniffed. The members heard his voice shake and they noticed him crying.

“Chim.” Jennie pouted and hugged him from behind.

“Jimin, try saying something,” Namjoon added. “It’s a moment which can’t be forgotten.”

“It looks like my birthday party. Ah, thank you. It seems like my birthday party, like a hidden camera.” Jimin finally spoke up.

“I was really surprised. Our Jimin, here in Bangtan. Bangtan can’t be without Jimin. We can’t get 1st place without Jimin. I’m really thankful. I remember that we got a mini-version before and it was great. I thank you again. I love you.” Namjoon said on camera.

As they got off the elevator, Jennie wiped Jimin’s tears. Kissing his cheek, she wrapped her arms around him, for a tight hug. 

“Ah, I can’t believe it.” She heard him say as his voice got shaky again.

“It’s okay...you’re gonna make me cry again, stop it.” She sniffed as he held her tight.

“From now on, please don’t call me a crybaby, the crybaby is Jimin,” Hobi said. “Like a man, even if you’re happy, you have to control yourself from tearing up.

“Men cry too!” Jennie spoke up, releasing Jimin while Hobi grinned at her.

When the show was over, she met up with G-Dragon who was waiting for her, leaning up against the wall. “Hey, Jennie!” He smiled.

“Hey! Iconic performance with Big Bang!” She hugged him. 

She’ll never get used to talking to him. She felt so lucky to be able to speak with someone so iconic as G-Dragon. She was grateful she decided to speak to him at K-Con last year. 

They leaned against the wall as he talked with her. “Congratulations on your first set of wins. It’s always a shining moment. You’ll never forget it.” He said as he thought about Big Bang’s first win with their song, Lies. “I’m always watching you even if we’re not always able to talk. I can tell that you’ve improved a lot since your last comeback. You know, you can message me, anytime. I’ll try to get back to you when I can.”

“I really appreciate it.” She smiled as he began to give her advice on how she could improve her performance skills.

On May 8th, for Music Bank, BTS was in the waiting room, standing with Irene and Bogum.

“BTS, since your debut this is your first time being nominated for first place at Music Bank, please give us your thoughts about it,” Irene said

“Right, this is our first time as a first place nominee here in Music Bank, finally after 2 years, I’m really nervous,” Rapmon answered.

“In the I Need U MV, I heard that BTS expressed youth through emotional acting,” Bogum added.

“Then, let’s see their youth expressions. First anger.” Irene announced. Some of the members made angry sounds as they made angry faces for the camera. “Sadness.”

Jennie fake cried with J-Hope as she covered her face. 

“Happiness.”

J-Hope made a funny sound effect as the members smiled brightly for the camera. 

“As expected, they’re cute. Lastly, what did you prepare for if you win first place?” Bogum asked.

“If we win first place, we’ll exchange parts between rap line members and vocal line members. I need you, girl!” Hobi sang.

“Ah, I really anticipate it. At last, will BTS be able to win first place? Please anticipate it a lot.”

“After a while is BTS’ stage so...” Jimin trailed off.

“Please wait a little longer!” Jungkook finished his statement.

Winning yet again for the third time, as promised, the vocal line switched their lines with the rap line. Jin rapped Suga's verse, while Jimin took over Hobi’s.

Taking over Tae’s lines, Jennie dramatically approached him as he giggled. “But you’re my everything...everything...everything...Mianhae...saranghae...Yongseohae.”

When Yoongi started to sing, the members laughed as he dramatically sang along with Namjoon. Once the chorus transitioned to Jennie’s verse, Tae started to act hype around her, getting in her face as he took over her verse.

“Oh my gosh...” She covered her face, trying to control her laughter.

This first set of wins will be the start of something big for BTS as they continue to make music.
