Forced to Believe Chapter 6- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 1

Author's Note: Usually for the Total Divas episodes, I just put in the scenes that I wanted Melanie to be in. These are going to be pretty short chapters. But once in a while it'll be long

Just so there isn't any confusion This in bold and parenthesis: Melanie (hey guys! I'm Melanie) This means talking in the confessional. You know when they are on the green screen discussing what happened on the show. That's what I meant.

if it is in italics then that means it is showing what is happening on TV.

If it is in normal font then that means it is happening in real time, right now. Hope that helps.

'10 days before WrestleMania, Tampa, FL'

Melanie walks into the gym, wearing gray sweatpants, sneakers, a sports bra, and a gray hoodie with her gym bag over her shoulder.

Melanie (Hey guys! I'm Melanie Laurer, better known as the violent and wild Morgan Lopez. I'm more nicer than my character and am sometimes laid back. But when I bite my tongue for too long, I keep it real. When it comes to being a WWE diva, all I want to do is entertain you. That's it, no being jealous of anyone being in the spotlight, like, I will find a way to entertain you. If I gotta get put through a table for entertainment, haha, then I will do it)

"There she is," Jon greeted with a grin, wearing shorts. Melanie laughed and hugged him.

Melanie (Ever since I started the storyline with The Shield, we all got to hang out more, so it was a win win situation. We all go way back. Especially Jon and I. Way, way back.)

"How was Philly and your flight?" Colby asked

"Not that bad. The fam are coming to support me. So, I have to manage Randy's team and have a match. Stress..." Melanie sighed, hoping everything goes well. She really wanted to give it her all.

"Yeah, I see some grey hairs." Colby pointed out.

"You fucking serious!?" Melanie exclaimed as she looked at her hair in the mirror.

Colby laughed. "Nah. Just fucking with you."

Melanie hit him on the shoulder. "Jerk..."

Joe walked over to the gang with a water bottle. "Hey Mel."

"Joe!" Melanie happily yelled and ran to hug him.

Melanie (Joe is...like my teddy bear. He's super sweet. Colby is the guy who always likes to have a good laugh with me and mess with me. And Jon is my best friend. We helped each other out in the ring, practiced our storyline, talked about our memories in the indies, and we really got closer. I am grateful for my boys. They are the best.)

"Hey! I didn't get a hug!" Colby playfully pouted.

"You have to earn one." Melanie pointed

"Bull, come here." Colby gave her a bear hug as she laughed

Melanie (When I met the three of them, we all clicked. We've known each other for years and to do this storyline and stuff, it's so fun. I did...a lot of damage to The Shield. But I liked it because it was a challenge to be able to act out a very violent, feisty, personality like Morgan so it took me a while to adjust to the character. I hope I'm doing a good job. If it wasn't for the fans, I wouldn't be here today. Right now, I cannot wait for WrestleMania. I have to manage Randy Orton's team to decide my fate at WrestleMania and I go up against Alicia Fox. It's going to be off the chain!)

"Can we practice the pose? How do you do it?" Melanie asked.

"You stick your fist out like this," Jon demonstrated

"Cool, but I'll be doing it my own way."

"Already being a rebel," Joe said with a low chuckle.

"See?" She looked for approval as she had her fist up in the air and looked up.

"You know, I like it." Jon nodded.

"Yeah." Joe agreed

Colby nodded. "Awesome."

Melanie (I haven't been in divas matches in a while so I can prepare for WrestleMania. I have been training a lot. I can't wait for my first match at the PPV. This is going to be awesome.)

After their workout, Colby tried to hug Melanie while he was sweaty. "Who wants a hug?"

"Ew, get away!" Melanie exclaimed and he chased her around the gym with Jon and Joe laughing.

"Fine, I'll take your grapes in your bag," Colby said and went through her gym bag.

"No! Not my grapes!" Melanie yelled but Colby grabbed a handful and started eating some. "Colby! You jerk!" she threw a water bottle at him but he ducked and it hit Jon in the face.

"Wow!" Colby laughed out loud with Joe.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry!" Melanie covered her mouth, looking shocked while Jon playfully glared at her.

'7 days till WrestleMania, Newark, NJ'

Melanie walks in to see Jane (Head of talent relations) and Mark talking to Nattie.

Melanie (So I get a call from Jane about some new girls that we're getting. New girls, huh? Interesting.)

"Hi, is this a bad time?" Melanie asked.

"Oh no, I'm glad you're here." Jane greeted.

Nattie smiled and hugged her. "Melanie!"

"Hey Nattie!"

Nattie (Melanie is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth women I know. Completely different from her in-ring character. She really has potential in the WWE and I am looking forward to watching her match to prove it at WrestleMania.)

"So there are two new girls coming here. Nattie will be showing them around." Jane informed

"Awesome." Melanie said with a grin.

"You seem excited."

"Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind showing them around too if that would be okay."

"You want to show them around with Nattie?"

"Why not? Nice to know new people. Well, if you're okay with it."

Melanie (Sometimes I can have a bad habit of putting myself into situations without people's say in it. I should stop that...but hey, it'll be cool to help them out, why not?)

Jane chuckled. "It's alright. You can show them around too."

Melanie (When I looked into Nattie's eyes, all I see is pain and disappointment.)

"Are you okay?" Melanie asked her.

"I um, won't be wrestling in a match at WrestleMania." Nattie revealed with a frown.

"Oh man..."

"There will be two divas matches. You and Alicia Fox, to prove you should stay here, and the Bellas..." Jane began.

Melanie (Well, once I heard the Bellas I was like, go figure.)

"...with Cody and Damien against The Funkadactyls, Brodus and Tensai." Jane continued

Melanie (I'm glad Trinity and Ariane have a match. They really deserve it.)

"Mark." Brie greeted, walking over to them.

"There she is." Mark smiled and gave her a hug.

Brie (Oh look...it's Melanie...icing on the cake...)

"Hey!" Melanie greeted politely

"Melanie, hi. Nattie." Brie greeted with a fake smile.

"Brie," Nattie said with a smile.

Melanie (Yeah the vibes are weird. I know her and sister don't like me. But I don't care, I'm going to keep it cordial)

"We're getting new girls," Melanie announced with excitement.

"Really?" Brie raised a brow.

"Yeah. So I heard you will have a WrestleMania match."

"Yeah, I'm so excited."

Brie (Newbies...first we got to deal with Melanie who is a high rising diva because she feuds with The Shield and is among the top superstars to go against them and now we have to deal with two more? Newbies are not divas, they're trying to be.)

JoJo and Eva Marie arrive. "Hi!" They both excitedly greet with a smile.

"You're JoJo and Eva Marie, the new girls right?" Mark asked.

"Yes." JoJo responded.

Eva Marie (When we meet Jane, I'm already freaking out. Like, this is a dream)

While JoJo and Eva Marie talk to Jane, Nattie and Melanie sit down.

"I really want to be in a storyline with you one day. Maybe I could be a heel and you a face or something. I just really do wish that you had a match." Melanie told Nattie.

"Melanie, this match is for you to prove that you should be here. There's always next year. But you earned your match. It's just unfair how the Bellas get to be the center of attention and be on all these shows. That is what I'm upset about." Nattie frowned.

"Yeah, I kind of agree."

Jane walked up to them with Brie, and the new girls. "Come meet the new girls."

Brie and Nattie introduce themselves.

"Hi, I'm Melanie!"

"Hi, I'm Eva Marie."

JoJo smiled. "I'm JoJo."

JoJo (There is something about Melanie that just made me feel back at home and just reminded me that everything is okay. I can see her as a sister figure to me.)

"Nattie will be your guide along with Melanie who will keep a lookout for you." Jane informed them.

"So excited. Like, if you guys need anything, we're here for you. Like if you have hair problems or a midlife crisis." Nattie added.

"I'm glad you said that. Eva here will be a blond." Jane announced

"I think you look nice like that. I mean, there's only room for one blond." Nattie said as everyone laughed. "I'm just kidding."

Nattie (WWE wants the divas to stand out. Eva can't have brown hair because she'll look like a Bella twin. But Hello! Heh, heh, Natalya's blond. I'm right here, you have a blond girl already.)

Melanie (Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Blond? What the heck? I'm sorry but I can't imagine her as a blond. I would do a hair color that will really make her stand out and look different. Do blue or purple or something. Make her really stand out instead of it always being a blonde, brunette or a raven-colored diva)

"What do you think about that?" Melanie asked.

"Freaking out." Eva Marie replied

"Welcome to WWE." Brie replied as everyone chuckled.

'5 days till WrestleMania, WrestleMania Dress Rehearsal'

Melanie (I have been working on a nice entrance for WrestleMania, in honor of my cousin Chyna. So, I got permission and everything is going well)

Melanie walked backstage in her WrestleMania ring attire with The Shield.

"So can somebody drag or carry me out the ring? When The Shield win the match? And I can try to struggle and stuff?" Melanie thought of some ideas for the match.

"Dibs." Jon raised his hand with a grin.

"I'm not surprised."

"This is going to be funny at WrestleMania." Colby said as Melanie and The Shield agreed.

All of a sudden, they see Vincent (Ariane's boyfriend) getting angry.

"I'll talk to his ass. Fuck this job. He shouldn't talk to you like that. I'll kick his ass. I'll go to the locker room right now and fuck his ass up." Vincent exclaimed angrily

Trinity (Me and Ariane are like in a marriage. If something happens to her, it happens to me. You can get fired over stuff like this.)

"I don't care who you are. You can be the President of The United States. I don't give a fuck." Vincent went on.

"I'm just gonna get dressed," Ariane said and walked away, upset.

Jon (Jimmy Uso) said to Vincent, "You're not going to do anything."

"No, I'm gonna fuck his ass up." Vincent huffedd

"No, just try to relax. Just step outside and go." Nattie replied, trying to calm him down.

Nattie (Luckily I was able to calm him down and prevent him from getting his ass kicked.)

"I hope everything is okay," Melanie murmured.

"They'll handle it." Colby patted her on the shoulder.

Melanie (I'm just going to mind my business and hope that everything will get settled.)

'2 days till WrestleMania'

Jon, wearing jeans, a shirt and a cap meets Melanie in her hotel room.

"Knock knock." Jon announced, opening the door.

"Hey." Melanie greeted with a grin and hugged him.

"You looked stressed."

"Why is everyone saying that? I'm all right."

"It's WrestleMania. You're not all right." Jon let out a laugh. Melanie stuck her tongue out at him and sat down on her bed. "So what are your plans tonight?"

"Well, I'm going to the Sandy Relief Party. Wanna come with me?"

"Oh boy..."

Melanie laughed. "I have no problem dragging you there. Come on. And plus, you can help me pick out a dress."

"Mel, you're going to be the death of me. I'll be with the boys tonight, was wondering if you wanted to hang with us. But since you'll be at the party, maybe next time."

"You know who I want you to be for Halloween?"

"What?"

"A wild guess."

"The Joker?"

"Yes! That'll be awesome. Have the makeup and stuff."

"How did our conversation change from the party to Halloween? You're goofy."

Melanie hit him with a pillow. "I am not."

Melanie (You know, ever since me and Jon started to work together in the WWE, we've gotten closer and our friendship has gotten even more random. Haha. We sometimes talk in random conversations and say random words. This started a few years ago actually)

"Bananas." Jon said.

"Grapes!"

"Sweet."

"Sour!"

"Why are you yelling?"

"I'm not yelling!"

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes­-" Jon began but got attacked multiple times by Melanie's pillow. Jon laughed and started to tickle her as Melanie laughed.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Melanie exclaimed.

'WWE Sandy Relief Party'

Melanie wears a nice black dress and has her hair up into a bun with hair on the side. She gets out of the limo and sees white flashes as people take pictures.

"Wow." Melanie looked around in amazement.

Melanie (This is my first red carpet. So it was really cool.)

"Morgan! Morgan! Over here!" Paparazzi yelled as she smiled and waved

"Hey!" Melanie said and then walked in as she saw Eva Marie and JoJo. "Hey guys! I love your hair." She hugged them.

Melanie (Eva Marie's hair looks awesome. She really stands out. Red suits her really well.)

"Jane was okay with it?" Melanie asked.

"Yeah, but she gave me a warning," Eva replied.

"It looks really good." The Bellas come by.

"Wow." Brie said.

Nikki (I thought Eva Marie was supposed to be this blond bombshell.)

Later on, Melanie gets ready to go out to the red carpet but Jon walks up to her in dress clothes. Melanie laughed and clapped her hands. "You have got to be kidding me! Why is it that you like to surprise me and prank me?"

Jon laughed and hugged her. "Couldn't resist." They walk to the red carpet.

Melanie (I feel bad for Nattie and how she has to work. I thought Renee Young was supposed to do this.)

Nattie (It sucks working while the divas have fun. Once again, I'm on the sidelines looking in.)

After taking photos with some divas, Melanie takes some photos with Jon which sparked interest in the crowd and then they all go inside.

Let the dating rumors begin.

"We are here with Dean Ambrose and Morgan Lopez, how are you two?" The interviewer asked

"We're loving every second of it, it's just so awesome to be here," Melanie replied with a smile.

"Yeah, supporting charities, it's been a hectic week so far," Jon added.

"So are you two dating or whatnot?" The interviewer asked abruptly.

"Um..." Jon and Melanie look at each other.

Melanie (I dunno, something about that question made me think more about Jon. It's like...when people ask you questions about if you're dating your best friend, it sometimes gives you thoughts in your head.)

"You'll find out pretty soon," Jon smirked and put his arm around Melanie's shoulders.

Melanie (Huh?)

"Interesting. Well, enjoy your night, thank you for your time."

"What was that about?" Melanie asked as Jon shrugged. "I'm gonna go hang with the new girls for a few, you cool?"

"Yeah, Colby and Joe are here, I'll be fine."

"Okay," Melanie said and walked over to the new girls. "How do you like it so far?"

"It's my first red carpet." Eva Marie happily said.

"It's my first too. Isn't it awesome?"

"Yeah." Eva Marie replied as they all laughed.

Meanwhile, Steve Tisch, the owner of the NY Giants, talked with the Bellas.

"You see the three newbies over there?" Nikki asked.

"Well, two of them." Brie corrected

"Actually it's the three of them." Nikki pointed to Melanie as well. "Look how comfortable they are."

Nikki (We need to get our intimidation on. We are veterans)

Melanie walked over to Jon, Colby and Joe to hang out with them. Eva Marie and JoJo were taking pictures with one of the celebrities but then Nikki came over.

"I don't mean to be a photo bomb but I need some more champagne." Nikki gave a glass to Eva. "Oh, and Brie needs a glass too. She's really thirsty."

Melanie (Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. I'm not going to just sit here and let you do this. Are you kidding me right now? No one is your maid, get your own freaking drink. Seriously? Who does that?)

Eva Marie (Are you kidding me right now? Like bitch, please.)

Eva Marie and JoJo come back with the Bella's drinks. "Wait a minute," Nikki said as she took some photos with Brie.

Melanie walked over to the Bellas. "That was uncalled for." She said with disapproval while Nikki shrugged and smiled. "No for real, grow up,"

Eva Marie (That will only happen one time. One.)

Melanie (Shit like that makes my blood boil...)

JoJo and Eva give them their drinks. "Thank you!" Nikki replied.

"So much!" Brie added

Melanie (Jeez, it's like they are full of themselves because they are dating big time superstars and think they have power over the divas division. It's corny. They need to cut it out)

Melanie walked with the new girls. "Don't let them walk all over you just because you're new. And JoJo, don't let them manipulate you because you're young. I'm here for you girls."

Eva Marie and JoJo thanked her and hugged her. "That will only happen one time though." Eva Marie declared as Melanie noddded

'1 day before WrestleMania'

Melanie (Well, after I got done talking to the Technical producer, he said there was a problem with the bazooka gun. So there's a chance I might not do the entrance I want to do. I'm worried and have my fingers crossed that everything will be okay. I really just want to rock this entrance.)

'WrestleMania day'

Melanie (Today is the biggest day of my life! It's WrestleMania! Everything is alright with the match with The Shield, but I still have to see if the firework gun is working. I hope they'll still let me use it.)

Melanie is backstage with the technical producer. "The bazooka had some kinks in it but it's fixed now and you'll be using it for your entrance."

"Yes!" Melanie shouted happily. "Thank you so much!"

Melanie (We are in business baby!!)

'Later'

Melanie has her casual attire on as WrestleMania starts.

Nattie (We get to see Melanie in action.)

"You think she's nervous?" Eva Marie asked as she watched the TV with the others.

'In The Ring'

The Shield go to ringside and get together as they look at Randy and his team. Dean stares at Morgan and smirks. He blows her a kiss and Morgan starts to have a worried look on her face and looks away from him.

"Oh wowwww, he blew her a kiss!" Jojo exclaimed.

"That's hot." Eva Marie grinned

"Who do think is going to win?" JoJo asked.

"I'm rooting for Orton." Nattie said

"The Shield." Eva Marie replied with a grin.

"Spear by Reigns!" Cole exclaimed as Ambrose covered Orton.

"I think he has it," JBL said.

"1! 2!" The ref began.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!" King exclaims.

"3!" The ref said as Morgan screamed "No!"

"Here are your winners! The Shield!" Lilian announced.

"Oh my gosh!" Eva Marie exclaims. "Awesome!"

"Oh no, they won." JoJo says.

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

'Moments later'

Melanie goes to meet up with the new girls. "That was an adrenaline rush. Over 80,000 people. It's crazy." She said with a grin and hugged Nattie.

Melanie (My night isn't over yet, I still have a match.)

She puts on her ring attire. She goes to sit on one of the storage boxes and listens to music to calm herself down.

Melanie (I'm shaking, my body has butterflies all over. I'm so nervous...)

"Melanie is up next!" Nattie announced with a grin.

Morgan's theme comes on and the crowd screams

"Do you hear how loudly the fans are cheering?" JoJo asked in amazement.

"That's insane." Eva looked impressed.

Morgan walks out with a bazooka gun just like Chyna and looks at the crowd with a smirk. She shoots it as the crowd goes wild.

Nikki (That entrance was too explosive for a WWE diva. Period.)

Alicia picks Morgan up and throws her to the turnbuckle. She walks over and picks her up onto the top and then prepares for a suplex.

"Oh no no no!" Eva Marie exclaimed and looked away as Alicia hits Morgan with a suplex.

"I hope she's okay." JoJo looked on with worry.

"She is. She's been through worse. She got triple powerbombed by The Shield once." Nattie mentioned.

"What!?" JoJo yelled while Nattie nodded in response.

Morgan starts to fight back and gain momentum. She kicks Alicia and runs to the ropes to do a hurricanrana but Alicia counters with a powerbomb as the crowd yells 'Oh!' Morgan holds her head.

"Oh my god, she looks really hurt." Nattie said with worry.

"I hope she's okay. She did take a hard fall." Eva Marie looked on.

Morgan sits on her back as she is lying face down on the mat. She grabs hold of Alicia's wrists and crosses her arms under her chin and pulls back on her arms to cause pressure, like a straight jacket as she yells a long and loud battle cry.

"What kind of submission is this?!" King exclaimed.

"Oh my god, that looks so awesome!" JoJo cheered.

"Wow." Eva Marie said in amazement.

"That submission looks painful, I would never want that on me." Nikki shook her head.

"Do you submit!?" The ref asks.

"Yes!" Alicia choked out and the ref signaled to ring the bell.

After Melanie's match, she walks backstage to get hugged by Nattie, Eva Marie and JoJo. Melanie laughed as she had tears of joy in her eyes.

"Congrats on the match! You did so good!" JoJo said with a smile.

"Thanks guys." Melanie sniffed

"Aw, come here." Nattie pulled her in for another hug

Melanie (I have never felt so electrified besides going to a wrestling event to watch The Rock in action. I can't believe that I just had my match. My body is aching but it was all worth the pain.)

Melanie hung out with Nattie and the new girls. "The Bellas are up! The Bellas are up!" Nattie exclaimed as Undertaker's match ended.

"Awesome!" Melanie cheered. "I can't wait to see Trin and Ariane!"

Melanie (I really can't wait to see them all in action. I'm curious to see who will win.)

All of a sudden, Cena's theme comes on. "What?" Melanie asked in confusion.

Nattie (I know something's not right here because all of a sudden, I see John Cena out in the ring. The girls were supposed to be before this match.)

"Weren't they supposed to be up before this?" Melanie asked.

"Yeah. Let's see what's going on." Nattie said and they walked to where the Bellas were.

"What happened? You guys should be up." Melanie said.

"When are you coming out?" Nattie asked.

"Uh, never," Ariane replied in disappointment.

"We got cut." The Bellas, Trinity and Ariane say in a disappointed tone.

"Why?" Melanie asked.

"The match before us went way over." Nikki replied as Melanie, Nattie and the new girls looked shocked.

Nikki (This was supposed to be me and Brie's first WrestleMania match. For it to be taken away like that, it hurts. And it sucks that Melanie gets to have a match and she hasn't even been here for a year.)

"I feel like if I show any emotion, I'm going to flip." Nikki huffed.

"I'm so sorry you guys," Nattie frowned.

"I gotta take a second." Trinity said and walked out. Ariane and Melanie walk after her to hug her.

Nattie (I'm just glad we had at least one divas match.)

"Are you okay...?" Melanie asked.

"Just so...disappointed." Trinity sniffed as they walked into the diva's locker room. "I only have a couple more years here. I want kids and stuff. Four more years, I'm gonna be 30. Am I still gonna be chasing for WrestleMania?"

"Yeah, we're gonna get to Mania." Ariane said as they all laugh

"We'll try again next year. Phew, I need a drink or two."

"Drinks are on me tonight," Melanie suggested with a grin.

Forced to Believe Chapter 8- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 2

Author's Note: A short one! Just a few random silly scenes I decided to keep when I wrote it years ago. 

Chapter Summary: Melanie reveals she helps from time to time with dances thanks to her father and spends time with Jon

Words: 700+

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

'Hours before Monday Night Raw'

Melanie dances with Fandango before the show to practice as the Bellas look on.

Nikki (I didn't know Melanie could dance.)

Brie (What can't Melanie do?)

Nikki (Beat us.)

Brie (Very true.)

"Alright, do it with her." Melanie said in a focused voice as Fandango danced with a dancer.

"How was that?" Fandango asked with a grin.

Melanie chuckled. "The moves look cleaner. You got it."

Melanie (What I do is, whenever someone needs help cleaning up their ballroom dance moves or whatnot, they call me. So it's pretty fun. Gotta thank my dad for that)

"Wish you were my dancer partner." Fandango flirted as the Philly Diva remained unphased with his advances 

Melanie laughed. "I'm good, man,"

"She's ours Fandango." Jon said and put his arm around Melanie with Colby and Joe by his side.

"Where did you three come from?" she asked as Fandango and The Shield laugh.

'Next day, Tampa, FL'

Melanie is in the kitchen in her hotel room. Jon knocks on the door and she opens it. "Finally! What took you so long? I was about to cook by myself."

"Sorry, had to make a quick stop." Jon and Melanie get settled. "All right, what are we making?"

"You can just make the pancakes. I'll make the rest."

"Sounds good."

Melanie (Today Jon is going to help me out to cook. This is a first so let's see how he does.)

"Can I have ten eggs?" Jon asked.

Melanie looks at him like he's crazy. "You're joking right? Then I'll only have two. Look, how bout I just make all the eggs? That'll be better."

"Fine, but you better take as much as you can."

"Hey, I like eggs too. you know? Share!" she giggled and started to crack the last egg in the bowl.

Melanie (So later on after I cooked the eggs and the other food, I take a little break. As Jon cooks the pancakes, I go to the bathroom. When I come out, I see Jon watching TV. Are you kidding me?)

"Dude! You burnt the pancakes!" she yelled as she looked at the burnt pancakes on the frying pan.

He jumps off the couch and rushes to the kitchen. "Sorry!"

"Sorry!? Those pancakes looked good!"

"Just make some more."

"Make some more-­why you little!" Melanie grabs a spatula and starts to hit him with it. "I want my pancakes!" 

Jon laughs and tries to grab the spatula out her hand and then manages to pick her up over his shoulder. 

"Jon! I want my pancakes!"

She manages to get out of his hold and then trips him down to the floor. 

"I win. Now get back to cooking." She ordered

Melanie (After breakfast, everything went well. Including the yummy buttermilk pancakes, which I fixed! Now, Jon owes me a piggyback ride and some grapes.)

"When do I have to give you a piggyback ride?" Jon asked.

"Hm...when I say so."

'RAW'

Melanie hangs with Jojo and Eva Marie. "So I heard you'll be trying out to be Fandango's partner. How excited are you?" Melanie asked with a grin.

"Um, I'm going to need your help with dancing." Eva Marie said.

"Yeah sure, whatever moves that you need cleaning up, I'll help you out."

"No Melanie, she told me she can't dance." Jojo admitted.

"You can't dance?" Melanie looked confused.

Melanie (Eva! Good grief! Why are you putting yourself in this situation? She needs to get out of this situation before it's too late.)

"Dude, your dance is tonight! What are you gonna do?" Melanie exclaimed.

Eva Marie sighed. "I know..."

"You need to tell him now." Jojo said.

"Like right now." Melanie added.

Jojo (First Eva goes against WWE and dyes her head red. And then she comes out with this boyfriend that no one knows about and now this.)

Melanie (She's in a screwed up situation that's for sure.)

At the arena on the stage, the divas watch Eva Marie's dance with Fandango and she doesn't do that good. At all.

Melanie (I tried to tell her.)

Trinity (Eva, if you're a dancer then I'm a freaking astronaut.)

"Ooh, someone's in trouble..." Brie said as Jane looked mad and walked off the stage

"Do you see how mad Jane looks?" Nattie asked

Nattie (In WWE, your reputation is everything. It takes one thing to ruin your reputation.)

"Are we running this again?" Mark asked

"No. We're not doing it again." Fandango said and stormed off backstage.

Nattie (Eva Marie has really started off with a bad start in the WWE.)

Forced To Believe Chapter 10- Total Divas Season 1 Episode 4

Author's Note: Melanie was not in episode 3 just an fyi. So onward to 4. I scrapped an idea for episode 3. One of these days I'll post the episode as a deleted scene that didn't make the cut. 

Chapter Summary: Melanie hangs out with Trinity, Jimmy Uso and Ariane 

Words: 1,000+

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

Later on the day Melanie and Nikki are waiting for the new girls to arrive at the restaurant.

Nikki (Melanie and I are waiting for the Newbies to arrive. I still gotta keep my eye out for Eva Marie since she's definitely competition.)

Once Eva Marie and Jojo arrive, Melanie greeted them with a grin

"I am obsessed with Instagram." Eva Marie said, scrolling through her social media.

"I am too." Nikki agreed.

"I don't have one, just have a Twitter." Melanie replied.

"You are obsessed with Twitter." JoJo giggled.

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are, you tweet so much stuff and have so many hashtags that trend. You're a Twitter Sensation. How many followers do you have?" 

"I haven't checked. I heard me and AJ Lee are neck and neck for 1 million followers. I think she's gonna get it first though because she has a little more than me."

Melanie (I don't care who gets 1 million first. AJ and I support each other through everything. If she gets it first, I'm happy for her. Getting 1 million followers would be really awesome. I'll be patiently waiting for that day to come)

"I'm looking at Brie's Instagram right now." Eva Marie said.

"What are the haters saying?" Nikki asked. Eva gives Nikki her phone. "Wow..." Nikki murmured as she reads a comment that says 'Nikki is SOOO the FAT twin!'

Nikki (Did you have to use that many Os? And how rude? Like, damn...that hurt.)

"Now you know there are so many insecure women in entertainment," Nikki said as Eva Marie agrees.

Melanie (I don't think Nicole is fat. She just has more meat on her bones, nothing wrong with that.)

"Look, everyone has haters and I wouldn't even bother listening to them. One of the reasons they might hate you is because of how successful you are. They'll sink low and call you any name to bring you down." Melanie told her as Nicole looked grateful for her kind words.

'Next day, LA'

Melanie meets up with Jon Uso and Trinity. 

"What's up guys?" she hugged Trinity.

"What's up, Melanie?" Jon Uso (Trinity's fiancé) asked with a grin.

"Hey dude," Melanie exclaimed and gives him a hug.

Ariane arrived in her car. "Hey boo boo!" she greeted with a grin and has her dog with her. "Why is he here?"

"We need a guys point of view on this." Trinity replied to her about Jon.

"Guy's point of view? Wait, why am I here again?" Melanie asked.

Melanie (I got a call from Ariane to meet her in LA to help her out with something.)

"I'm thinking of getting breast implants. So you guys are coming with me to see a plastic surgeon. " Ariane announced.

"Breast implants?" Melanie asked. "But your boobs look fine."

"That's what I've been telling her." Trinity reiterated.

"Uh huh. You know, I wish I had your boobs." Ariane said, looking at Melanie.

"What?" Melanie asked in confusion.

"Are they real? They're nice looking."

"Of course they're real!" Trinity exclaimed

Trinity (Melanie's breasts are real. The girl has nice B-cup breasts.)

"Is she okay?" Melanie asked, amused at the situation.

"What size are you?" Ariane questioned. "Can I touch them? You know, you look like a B cup. Are you?"

Melanie started to laugh. "I'm done." 

"Melanie, I'm serious! What size are you girl?"

Melanie and Jon sit in the back while Trinity sits in the passenger seat. 

"He ain't gonna pee on me is he?" Jon asked as Ariane gives the dog to him to hold.

"It's a girl." Ariane told him. As they start to drive, the dog starts to feel sick. "What's wrong, noodle? Wait, she has to throw up, she has to throw up."

"Yikes!" Melanie exclaimed.

After the dog throws up, Ariane announced, "She may eat it."

"What!?" Trinity exclaimed

"Dogs like to eat their throw up."

"And I just ate too." Melanie sighed as they all chuckle.

They arrive at the MANUS MD BREAST & BODY place and Trinity, Ariane & Melanie walk into a room.

"I got my implants done 8 years ago." Linda Manus told them.

"What's the recovery time?" Ariane asked.

"Can she take a bodyslam on Monday?" Trinity asked.

"Ooh, that's really pushing it." Linda laughed. "I can show you my implants if you want." Linda pulled down her dress to expose her breasts.

Ariane (Pow! I'm like woo okay girl.)

"I'm just trying to process all this," Trinity said as Melanie nodded.

"Can I feel them since Melanie won't let me feel her breasts?" Ariane asked.

"Dude, my breasts aren't the please touch museum!" Melanie exclaimed as Trinity snickered.

"Oh but you let Dean touch them," Ariane teased

"Ariane!" Melanie shouted, feeling her face heat up.

"What? It's true,"

"I can't believe this chick."

Melanie (For a long time now I haven't confirmed or deny these relationship accusations but I guess the cat is out of the bag. Yeah, I'm dating my best friend.)

Ariane touches Linda's breast. "They feel soft." she pointed out

Trinity leaves the room to get Jon as Linda pulls up her dress. 

"I've been telling the girls that these fake breasts don't look fake and they feel soft and real. I can show you." Linda said and showed her breasts to

him. Jon puts his face in his hands as the girls laugh. "Don't be shy."

"It's okay babe, it's okay," Trinity reassured, amused.

"No, it's not okay." Jon replied with a grin.

"This is a one time. I'm giving you a pass, so enjoy this moment."

"Touch it," Linda gave them permission as Melanie, Trinity and Jon reluctantly touched them.

Melanie laughed. "This is so weird. But it does feel pretty real."

"Yeah, it does feel real," Trinity agreed as Jon went back to the lobby.

Doctor Manus walks in while Linda brings out a basket of breast implants. "Hello, I'm Doctor Manus. This is a 300 CC gel implant." Doctor Manus said, giving the girls the implant so they could feel them.

"And this is silicon," Ariane stated.

"That is silicon. You can take them and try them out at home so you can play and see how they feel." Doctor Manus said as Ariane put the implants in her breasts.

Ariane (I'm gonna take these implants and do a little trial run. That means I'm gonna eat in them, rest in them, I gotta see how these puppies feel.)

"How about you do a little routine just so I can see." Trinity suggested.

"Tuning in for this," Melanie replied, putting her hair in a ponytail, and watching Ariane dance.

Melanie (They are bouncing up and down like crazy!)

Trinity and Melanie laugh when Ariane starts dropping down and the silicon boobs fall out. The Philly diva ends up falling out of her chair from laughing so hard as the girls laugh with her.

"I'm sorry I can't. Phew, that was awesome." She gets up.

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

'At poolside'

Melanie has on a two piece swimsuit with white shorts, lounging on a chair at the poolside with Jon and Trinity. 

"Holler bitches!" Ariane greeted, strutting towards them.

"What's going on with you today?" Trinity asked

"Oh, nothing much. Got something to show you girls." Ariane replied and took off her black dress to reveal a blue swimsuit with her silicon breasts in them. Jon responded by putting on his shades.

"You had those on all day?" Trinity asked

"These come everywhere with me."

"This test drive you're doing is going to a whole new level." Melanie pointed out.

"I have to see if this is what I really want," Ariane said.

Ariane (I'm looking a little hot right now with these boobies in.)

"They actually don't look bad." Trinity checked them out.

"Let's test them out in the pool." Melanie suggested and stood up

"I'll do it if you come in," Ariane replied. 

Melanie dives into the pool and so does Trinity.

"This feels nice." The Philly Diva floats around but then gets splashed by Trinity. "What the-"

Trinity laughs and Melanie splashes her back. After splashing each other for a while they turn to Ariane. 

"If you don't come in here in 8 seconds, I'm gonna push you in. You always wanted to do the bay watch move." Trinity told her dance partner and Melanie ends up jumping on her back "Ahh! Help me! Shark! Shark!" 

When Ariane jumps in, Melanie releases her.

"Ahh!" Ariane yelled and held her chest. "What happened to my boobies!?"

Melanie busted out laughing when they saw where they were

"These things do float, look at that." Trinity looked at the floating silicon.

"Look like jellyfish," Melanie added as Trinity poked at the silicon.

Trinity (Huh. Who knew?)

Words: 1,000+

----

Eva Marie, Jojo and Melanie go to the gym. "We're gonna do some planks." Eva Marie said.

"Have fun, I'm going to the punching bag." Melanie walked away.

Eva and Jojo get started on their planks. "Okay, let's hold for ten seconds." Eva told her.

Eva Marie (So while Jojo and I were doing planks, we couldn't help but hear a lot of battle cries and grunting from Melanie and we saw her seriously kicking the punching bag's ass. I mean literally. Her face expression? She looked pissed.)

"Go Melanie go!" Jojo cheered.

"Is she mad about something?" Eva asked

"She's seriously not giving that punching bag any mercy."

Melanie gave the punching bag a big kick as she did a battle cry. The bag dropped and fell out of its holder as Jojo and Eva looked surprised. 

Melanie's eyes widen as some workers and other superstars look at her.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Melanie exclaimed as they laughed.

"It's fine." The worker chuckled and set it back up.

"Wow, Melanie." Eva chuckled.

"I said I was sorry. I had a moment." The Philly diva rubbed the back of her neck, with an embarrassed smile.

"Who were you thinking about while you were doing those hard shots?"

"I was working on my anger. I was thinking of Randy. Not in real life but in the storyline Creative wants me to be a little more aggressive soon since I'll be in a storyline with Randy again."

"Yikes, I totally don't want to get on your bad side." Jojo giggled

'Eva Marie and Jojo's apartment'

Melanie (Jojo and Eva are having a little get together since they got their new apartment. So happy for them. This is gonna be fun.)

"What's up, guys?" Melanie grinned as Jojo hugged her and shut the door.

"Where your Joker at?" Trinity grinned.

"Out of the States doing a wrestling show with Colby and Joe. He'll be going to Vegas though." Melanie explained as she sat on the couch with Nikki and Nattie. "You know what? Let's turn up!"

"Now you're talking!" Trinity put on some tunes and everyone started dancing and having fun. Later on, the girls sat down with Jojo to talk about Justin.

Melanie (Honestly, she just got out of a relationship and Justin is in his 30s. I just don't think it's going to work out. So, we are giving her a warning but we'll be there for her no matter what.)

"Hey, girl, I like me some older guys. Nothing wrong with that." Ariane said. "I had an ex boyfriend, I was 17 and he was 25. But when I turned 20, I dated a 41 year old."

"Yikes!" Melanie exclaimed as some divas gasped.

Melanie (She takes 'Age isn't nothing but a number' seriously.)

Jojo (It's true Justin is older than me but whatever happens, happens.)

Jojo and Justin go to another room while Melanie and Nikki sit on the couch. 

"Aren't you gonna drink some wine?" Nikki asked.

"Nah. Not tonight." Melanie replied.

"Oh come on, let's all have a drink for a preview of Nattie's bachelorette party."

"I kind of stopped drinking,"

"Shut up!" Nikki exclaimed. "No, you did not."

"Sort of."

"When did this happen? When's the last time you were drunk or had a buzz?"

"Uh...a while. It's a bit of a long story..."

Melanie (Ah...for personal reasons...)

"Girl talk." Nikki motioned to the other girls.

"What's wrong?" Nattie asked.

"Melanie stopped drinking," Nikki replied.

"I didn't stop completely. I just try to limit it." Melanie replied.

"Really? You were always the party girl." Eva asked.

"Yes, girl. She always be booty popping." Ariane started shaking her ass as the girls laughed.

'Las Vegas, Nevada'

The divas and guys but Melanie arrive in a hotel room and get situated. 

"Where did Melanie go?" Nattie asked.

"She went to meet up with Jon," Eva answered. "She said she'll meet up with us before it's time to go to your bachelorette party."

"Let's have a pool party. Can someone text Melanie to tell her what's up?" Brie asked.

"I will." Trinity said as she whipped out her phone.

'To Melanie'

Melanie (Jon is coming back from his international tour with Colby and Joe. So now I just gotta wait for him to get to the Palms hotel.)

Moments later she saw him arrive in jeans, a blue shirt and sunglasses as he carried his bags inside. 

"Yay, you're here!" She ran to give him a big hug.

"What I miss?" Jon greeted her with a kiss.

"We're having a pool party and we gotta get in our rooms. I have the keys. Follow me." She replied 

Later on, at poolside, Melanie and Jon walked over to the gang. 

"Sorry, we're late. Had to find our hotel room." Melanie gave everyone an apologetic smile while Jon had an arm around her waist. Moments later, she went over to Nikki and Nattie. "Hey!"

"Wow, you look hot." Nikki grinned as she gave her a friendly hug. She checked out Melanie's dark blue two piece swimsuit.

"Haha, thanks."

"You look so good." Nattie smiled and hugged her. 

The three girls sit down.

"So, what's going on?" Melanie asked.

"Jaret sent me another text." Nattie said as Nikki and Melanie glanced at each other. "It's harmless." She reassured.

"Nattie, it's not harmless," Nikki said.

"Agreed," Melanie replied.

Nikki (These texts from Jaret are so flirty)

Melanie (Someone's flirting up a storm. Nattie isn't seeing how he's really flirting with her.)

"That smiley face in that text means it's time to get it on." Nikki stated.

"Kind of agree. I mean, he said he'll be thinking about you in his dreams. That's uh...yeah..." Melanie shrugged.

"Please don't mention this to Brie or anyone else." Nattie said.

"I'll be back, I'm gonna pull a prank on Jon." Melanie grinned. She got up and walked up to him as he was talking to Justin, Jon Uso, and Trinity. "Hey guys."

"Hey, girl." Trinity grinned and hugged her.

"Hey, Jon you see that over there?" Melanie asked as Jon turned around. She quickly pushed him into the pool and everyone laughed. "Haha, couldn't resist."

"You are so dead." Jon grinned and got out of the pool to chase after her 

"I didn't do anything!" Melanie yelled with laughter as she ran from him.

"Run!" Trinity shouted.

"He's so gonna catch her." Jon Uso chuckled.

Nikki (These two like to play around a lot. Wonder if they play around like that in bed.)

Melanie (If Jon ever sprints towards me, the only thing on my mind is...Flee! Get the hell out of there! But he always catches me so, I always get thrown in the pool with him.)

Jon easily caught her bridal style. 

"No! Time out! Time out!" Melanie yelled but got thrown in the pool. She swam back up to the surface and pushed her hair back. "Not cool man! Not cool!"

Jon laughed. "Here I'll help you up." He had his hand out to help her out of the pool but she grabbed it and pulled him down to make him fall in.

"Oh!" The gang exclaimed.

Melanie grabbed Jon in a headlock. "Victory is mine!"

Jojo (They are just so funny together.)

After Melanie and Jon's little playful fight, TJ and Nattie get in the pool 

"Let's play a game!" Melanie suggested

TJ and Nattie agreed to play chicken with Melanie and Jon as the girls got on the guys' shoulders. 

Melanie (Not going down without a fight. It's on!)

"On your mark...get set...go!" Ariane announced as Melanie and Nattie tried to push each other off.

Melanie managed to push Nattie down after a while.

"Yes! Justice has been served!" Melanie cheered.

"Damn right!" Jon shouted as she got off his shoulders and kissed him.

Nattie (I have never seen Melanie smile this much. Ever since her relationship with Jon, she has just been glowing. I'm really happy for her.)

'Back To The Hotel Room'

"Us girls are gonna get ready for Nattie's bachelorette party and we can't be late. We love you guys but we gotta go." Nikki said.

"Eva, Jojo and I are gonna go out and look around while you girls do your thing. Have fun. Tell us all about it when you get back." Melanie waved.

I hope you guys are okay with just walking around." Jojo said as she walked around the hotel with them.

Jojo (I'm not 21 so I can't do anything. I can't gamble, I can't go out.)

Eva Marie (Jojo is so upset, she's nineteen, she can't even legally drink if she wanted to. I don't drink because of personal reasons and Melanie is trying to limit her drinking so we decided to walk with Jojo. And...guess who we see?)

The girls see Justin with another girl. 

"He told me he was out and I'm like cool, whatever. Fuck you, that's all I care." Jojo retorted.

Melanie (I knew this was bound to happen. I knew it.)

"That's the thing, he's stupid right now and doesn't understand what's going on." Jojo went on as they walked outside.

Eva Marie (I see Justin go inside a cab with another chick.)

"Oh my God, he just bounced in the cab with another chick. That's it, dude, I'm done. I'm fucking done..." Jojo shook her head.

Melanie (I feel so sorry for her...)

Eva Marie (I feel bad for Jojo but we all warned her. Now hopefully she learned her lesson.)

"I really, really liked him. I really did." Jojo sadly said

Melanie nodded as Jojo vented to her and Eva on the bed in their hotel room. 

"I still do." Jojo sighed as Eva Marie and Melanie glanced at each other

Melanie (It's going to be tough but I just hope she learns her lesson. She needs to get over that man for real. He's not worth it)

Eva Marie (What more do you need to understand that he's not serious with you?)

"Everything will be all right." Eva Marie tried to make her feel better and Jojo gave them both a hug.

'Next night'

Melanie and the gang have dinner to celebrate Nattie's upcoming wedding with TJ.

"Cheers to 13 years of a relationship, that finally the time has come to make it official even though I know in their hearts that it's already been official. So thank you for having us here for the special time and we look forward to being there on your special day, at your wedding." Brie smiled, making a toast.

Brie (I find Nattie and TJ's relationship beautiful.)

Melanie (They are such an awesome couple. I cannot wait for their wedding.)

"Toast to orgasms and boners!" Nikki toasted with everyone as everyone laughed.

"Happy bachelorette Nattie." Nikki grinned as a waiter brought in a cake of a man's chest and abs and his lower area.

"Oh...my...God." Nattie looked in surprise. 

Nattie bit the lower area as everyone laughed and cheered. Later on, some people started to notice that Vincent and Ariane were starting to have some problems. He kept acting wild as Ariane tried to tell him to calm down and stop. Later on, the waiters bring out cotton candy.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Jojo said happily.

"Yes! Cotton candy! Childhood memories" Melanie cheered. She grabbed a handful and fed it to Jon as he did the same to her. "All right that's enough for you. This is mine now." She said while he laughed in response. 

"Babe!" Ariane pushed the long piece of cotton candy from her face as Vincent started playing around with it. "No."

Ariane (Okay, you're making an ass out of yourself. What are you doing? I'ma need you to get it together.)

After dinner, everyone went to the Ghost Bar and started to party as Melanie danced with Trinity and Nikki.

"Go Trin!" Melanie grinned as she started going all out with her dance moves. 

But then Vincent started drinking too many shots.

Ariane (Right now we're having a great time but Vinny might have had one, two, three too many shots. I just hope tonight, he doesn't get too crazy.)

As the night went on, Melanie and the rest of the girls started to notice Vincent and Ariane arguing.

Melanie (I'm not touching that with a 60 foot pole. I'm gonna mind my business.)

Trinity (Ariane and Vinny are just back and forth arguing. And he's crying, I mean you're supposed to be turnt up. Not turnt down.)

'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.)

Chapter Summary: Melanie gets upset with Jon when he misses their dinner. Melanie attends Nattie and TJ's wedding

Words: 2,000+

----- 'To Melanie and Jon's hotel room on Tuesday, in the afternoon'

Melanie was doing her hair, in casual clothing, already in the bedroom and Jon walked in. 

"Hey, I was wondering if we could hang out here, alone tonight. Eat in and have a romantic dinner." Jon smiled.

"Really? Wow, that sounds awesome." Melanie beamed.

Melanie (This is really unexpected. We really haven't been on a lot of romantic dates lately because of our schedules but I'm really happy that he decided to do this for me. So, while Jon was out, doing some errands, I decided to go food shopping. Since he likes pecan pie, I wanted to buy a premade one that I could heat in the oven.)

'Later on, at 9o'clock'

Melanie sets up the table and lights a candle in the middle of the table. She then checks on the food. She made steak and also had a bottle of wine for them. After she was done preparing the food, she got her hair done and put on a nice red dress.

Minutes later, she tried to call Jon but he wouldn't answer.

"Oookaayy..." She decided to watch TV and wait for him. 

Hours later, she was on the couch waking up after falling asleep. She looked at the clock and it read 12. "Are you serious right now?"

Melanie (Wow...you can't spend one night with your girlfriend instead of hanging with the guys? I know for a fact he did. How can you forget our date? I'm like so upset right now)

She decided to put the food up and watch TV, on the couch. When it was 2'o clock, Jon walked into the hotel room. 

"What's up? Why are you looking mad?" Jon asked, taking his leather jacket off,

"Oh, I don't know...forgetting a romantic dinner which I cooked." She retorted, glaring at him.

"Shit...baby, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry? Saying I'm sorry isn't going to fix anything!"

"Mel-­"

"How could you forget? We've both been talking about this. It was your damn idea!"

"Well, maybe I don't think I'm good enough for you." He countered.

"What? Are you serious? Are you serious?"

Melanie (Bullshit! You are not going to play the victim and play the pity game on me. That's not cool. No, don't do that. We had this talk about this before. Enough already)

"Don't try to put this on you and be the victim. Don't because it's not gonna work. Gosh, I just wish you would at least spend some time with your girlfriend. At least an hour or two. Is that too much to ask? Just us. Alone, with no interruptions, and chilling at home. You holding me and telling me you love me. Do you love me?"

"You know I do."

"Then prove it. Show me. Don't ditch me like that if you say you want to make plans with me and not show up." She stands up as he walks over to her.

"Baby­-" He reached out to grab her arm but she pushed him away.

"Do not touch me. And don't even speak to me. Please. I'm not happy." She went to the kitchen and started doing the dishes.

Melanie (I am pissed. Beyond pissed!)

"You got me waiting for you, all fucking night, but you were hanging with the guys. Are you kidding me? What was the point of you saying you wanted a romantic dinner with me?" She snapped. "I know I'm nice and all but I'm not gonna be played like that. No freaking way..." 

Jon walked behind her and held her. He rested his head on her left shoulder. "I'm sorry..."

"Sure..."

"Mel, I really am. Let me make it up to you." He started to kiss her neck.

Melanie (Really? Really!? That really got me angry...)

She pushed him away and turned around, slapping him in the face.

"What the fuck was that for?" He exclaimed, rubbing the side of his face in surprise.

"For being an asshole! Are you fucking kidding me!? You are gonna try to have makeup sex with me to get yourself off the hook? Hell to the fucking no!" She yelled as her face started to flush from anger. "I hope you aren't thinking about sleeping in bed with me tonight, cause your ass is sleeping on the couch." She walked past him and slammed the bedroom door.

Melanie (I feel so stupid...)

'On Thursday, hours before WWE Superstars'

Ariane, Eva Marie, Trinity and Melanie were chatting backstage. 

"What's up, girl? You seem pretty pissed." Trinity said to Melanie.

Melanie sighed. "Jon wanted to have a romantic dinner with me, so I was like, that'll be awesome, I'll go shopping and cook for us. I cooked all day, I was tired, wanted to relax, and was waiting for him to come home. He told me he had some errands to run and will be back soon. Come to find out, once he was done his errands, he hung out with the guys at the bar."

"What?!" Ariane exclaimed.

Trinity (That's not good.)

Ariane (Melanie has every right to be upset with him.)

"When did he come home?" Eva asked.

"2 fucking o'clock. 2 o'clock in the morning." Melanie retorted.

"Oh no, gurl, you better make him sleep on the couch or something. What did you do?" Ariane asked.

"Gave him an earful. He kept saying that he was sorry and forgot. When I was doing the dishes, he came up behind me and started kissing my neck, trying to have makeup sex. Are you fucking kidding me right now!? I slapped him in the face."

Eva Marie (I never knew Melanie could get so angry. But she has the right to be. How can a guy stand her up like that? I feel so bad for her.)

"Yes girl, don't give in to that, he needs to earn your forgiveness a different way," Ariane replied.

Trinity (I've never seen Melanie this angry off camera. She even started venting in Spanish since she was so mad. Even her face was getting red. She told us she started hanging around her father more and when he was mad, he would cuss in Spanish, so now we know where she gets her anger from)

"Gosh! Everything that guy said was bullshit!" Melanie said angrily.

'To Nattie'

Nattie (I decided to find Jon because I really don't want him and Melanie to be an unhappy couple at my wedding. Maybe Melanie is overreacting about something. So I decided to go to Jon to find out to get the man's side of the story of what might be going on between them)

"Hey, Jon." Nattie smiled as he turned around.

"Hey, what's up?"

"You and Melanie look like you have some tension. Something happen?"

"I messed up...bad...I fucked up big time..."

Nattie (Ugh...now that got me worried...)

"Melanie cooked dinner for us all day but I hung out with the guys and forgot about our date." He confessed.

"Jon! She has every right to be upset with you."

"I know..."

"You need to fix this. Like, now. You need to make it up to her in a good way."

Nattie (I really hope Jon mans up and makes sure to earn Melanie's forgiveness. Melanie is one of the nicest divas here and to see her angry and upset can be heartbreaking at times since we always see her smiling.)

'To Melanie'

Melanie calmed herself down. "Enough about me, let's just stay positive. So, what's going on with you girls?"

"I'm nervous." Eva Marie replied.

"Nervous about what? "Ariane asked.

"Tonight is the night when we find out who will be accompanying someone to the ring."

"That's exciting, now maybe it's your time to shine." 

"I agree." Melanie smiled

Mark Carrano, senior director of WWE Talent Relations, walked over to the girls. "Hello, ladies."

The divas greet him while Jojo and Nattie walk over to the gang. "Mark, are we in trouble?" Nattie asked.

"Nah. First of all, Nikki is hurt, she will be out for 6 to 12 weeks. You." He pointed to Trinity. "Who is your BFF?"

"Her." Trinity pointed to Ariane.

"Girl bye." Ariane joked as the divas laughed.

"All right, Nattie, in your corner for WWE Superstars will be...Eva." Mark informed.

The divas but Jojo cheered while Eva hugged Nattie. 

"Seriously Mark? Seriously?" Jojo asked, looking upset.

"Listen, it's not the end of the world." He said. "You are on the radar."

Eva Marie (I am seriously so excited that I get to valet Nattie because Nattie is a dope wrestler but I feel like I have to downplay my excitement because of Jojo)

Nattie and Eva Marie get ready and leave the girls with Mark. "You going to be okay girl?" Ariane asked Jojo.

"Yeah, I'm good," Jojo replied while Melanie hugged her

"You'll get your chance. All good things come to those who wait patiently." The Philly diva smiled.

"Yeah, and Jojo is the youngest out of all of us. Once we long gone, she'll still be here, kicking butt." Trinity grinned.

"I know right!" Ariane exclaimed as Jojo started to smile.

'Later at night'

Melanie (After WWE Superstars, I decided to go back to the hotel room and just relax. But when I came back to the hotel room, I saw a nice candlelight dinner. I was in awe.)

She walked into the room to see Jon in a suit. "Surprise!" he smiled.

She couldn't help but grin. "Oh my gosh..." She chuckled at the sight. There was a nice candlelight dinner in the room, and she was handed a bouquet of red roses. "Jon..."

"I know I fucked up, and I deserved the slap and the earful, but I just want you to know that I'm really sorry. So, I decided to heat up the food you made and recreate the romantic dinner. Just us tonight. No hanging out with the guys tonight. Just you and me."

"This is so awesome." She set the flowers down and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked down at her.

"So am I forgiven?"

"Yes...you're forgiven." She kissed him

-----

'Nattie & TJ's wedding day'

Brie, Melanie, and Trinity arrive at the place and walk up the stairs. 

"Hello? Nattie?" Brie called out as she and the girls carried their suitcases. 

Nattie opened her door and let them in. "Hi!" she greeted the girls with hugs.

"You look awesome." Melanie grinned and looked at her wedding dress.

"This is unbelievable," Brie said with a smile.

"So...Jaret is coming," Nattie whispered as she shut the door.

Melanie (Really? I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, ever since the text messages, I just think it'll cause problems but it's her wedding so, she can do what she wants to do)

"Did you tell TJ?" Trinity whispered.

"No. How do I always get myself in these awkward positions?" Nattie frowned.

"I'll tell you this, if the pastor says please stand up or forever hold your peace, and he says anything, we're dropkicking him." Brie guaranteed as Trinity agreed.

"Dibs on me giving him the backfire!" Melanie raised her hand as the girls laughed

'2 hours until ceremony'

The women get ready. Melanie had her hair out with curls at the end. She wore a black dress that stopped near her knees and low black heels. 

"How come you're not wearing real heels?" Brie asked.

Melanie laughed. "I am not a high heel person. Low heels I can handle. I just don't want to break anything. You, Nattie and Brie are high heel veterans."

Melanie (So, while we all are getting ready for Nattie's wedding, we all find out that a thunderstorm is occurring outside. Lightning and thunder, are not a good mix, so the workers had to move everything inside.)

Nattie (I'm trying to fight back tears. All I wanted was a beach wedding. That's all I wanted and this day is starting to turn into the worse, like, what else can go wrong today?)

Later on, while the divas were upstairs, Melanie was downstairs, waiting for Jon. 

"Ooh, you look awesome Mel. Showing some skin." Trinity cheered. "Where's Jon?"

"He's coming, he needed to pick up his suit " Melanie trailed off as her phone rang.

"Haha, speaking of the devil." Trinity chuckled.

"Hey, you here?" She answered.

"Yeah, I'm getting soaked, can you open up the door?" Jon said on the phone.

"Yeah, see you in a few." Melanie hung up. She went to the entrance and opened the door. "Yikes, it's really raining." 

She looked at the sky. She saw Jon, in a suit, jogging up the steps. His hair and suit were a little damp from the rain. 

"Glad you made it." She wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him.

"Get a room!" Trinity joked.

'30 Minutes Until The Wedding'

Melanie sat next to Trinity and Jon at the table. Brie and Bryan, Jey and Jon Uso also sit at the table, waiting for the wedding to start. 

TJ walked in. "Hello!"

"TJ!" Melanie grinned and kissed him on the cheek, hugging him.

Trinity (Melanie is grinning like no tomorrow. I'm happy Melanie and Jon are not fighting and there are no conflicts between them)

"Ready for the big day, brother?" Jey (Jon Uso's Brother) asked.

"So ready." TJ replied.

"You're in the back of the curtain and when that music hits, you're totally fine."

"What's up, man?" Jaret greeted as he walked up to TJ.

"Jaret, hey, how ya doing man?" TJ stood up and shook his hand.

Melanie (Oh boy)

"You must be excited, Nattie's awesome." Jaret sat next to him.

"Yeah," TJ replied.

Trinity, Brie and Melanie glanced at each other. 

"We've been talking a bit lately, she came in for a spray tan while I was working and we started talking," Jaret mentioned. Trinity, Melanie, Brie and their lovers were looking at TJ and Jaret talking. "She said that you two had some issues."

Trinity (I'm like, aw shoot, it's about to go down)

TJ and Jaret leave the room to talk privately. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the wedding is about to commence, if you would please take your seats, thank you." Damien Sandow announced. 

Jon Uso sat next to Trinity, who sat next to Melanie, who sat next to Jon. The band started playing as Melanie listened to the violin and viola. But no one came down the steps.

Brie (I have to admit with Jaret showing up, and the way TJ reacted, I don't know if this wedding is going to happen or not.)

Melanie and Trinity grinned when the wedding continued to happen and TJ was down the aisle.

Trinity (Woo! The wedding is still happening!)

Nattie walked down the steps with her father as everyone stood up. She walked down the aisle with Gismo in her arms.

Melanie (Nattie is so beautiful. She's smiling, she's just glowing)

Nattie (I honestly could not feel any happier. My dad in one arm, Gismo in the other, this is just a reminder of how perfect my life is.)

After TJ and Nattie said their vows, they kissed as the audience clapped and cheered.

Nattie (I cannot believe that I'm married now.)

'The Reception'

"We don't know how to dance," Nattie said as everyone laughed while watching her and TJ have their first dance. 

"I have a hurt knee, that's the excuse." TJ joked. 

Melanie smiled while Jon held her from behind while they watched them.

"All ladies on the dance floor," TJ announced

"Come on Melanie." Brie grabbed her arm and dragged her to the dance floor.

"What? I'm not interested." Melanie exclaimed.

"Oh yes, you are." she grinned.

Melanie (Catching the bouquet...Yikes, I hope I don't get attacked by heels if I slip and fall.)

Nattie threw the bouquet up for some of the women. The bouquet was near Brie but she jumped and pushed it towards Melanie, making it fall in her hands. 

Melanie's eyes widen. "Brie!"

Brie laughed and clapped. "Yay, Melanie!"

Brie (I decided to let Melanie catch the bouquet because I wanted to see her reaction and plus, I want to see Jon put the garter on her. They're cute. I think marriage is in their future.)

"Melanie catches the bouquet, yay!" Nattie cheered.

Ariane (Melanie catches the bouquet and I'm like, ooh girl, good for you, I wasn't ready for all that.)

"Can we get the garter?" Brie asked. "Let's let Jon put the garter on Melanie."

"What?" Melanie blushed. 

Brie grinned and walked Melanie to the chair. TJ took the garter off of Nattie and gave it to Jon. Jon looked at the garter before smirking at Melanie as she started to laugh nervously.

"She's blushing." Brie giggles. 

While she was seated on the chair, Jon kneeled before her legs. He grabbed one of her legs and slowly put the garter on her leg with his teeth as everyone was cheering.

"Omg!" Brie exclaimed, getting hyped with Trinity.

"That was awesome." Trinity clapped.

Brie (That was great. Go Melanie and Jon!)

Melanie (Hahaha, my face was such a tomato. I'm not surprised Jon did that, he can be a little...adventurous.)

"Now for a word from our groom," Damien said before giving the mic to TJ.

"Well, it's kind of hard to keep a surprise from Nattie since she is usually organizing everything, but I put a little something together," TJ announced as he showed a video of him and Nattie together in the WWE.

Melanie (That is so sweet.)

Nattie (TJ put together some moments that I even forgot that happen and I was just so touched)

After TJ's video, everyone started to dance and have a good time.

Nattie (At the end of the day, I am such a lucky girl, it's been such a roller coaster of a day. I couldn't imagine spending my life with anybody else than TJ. TJ is my family and he will be a part of my life forever)
